Since there's an update coming up any time soon, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you all that I've been running/testing 2.5 "-notw " for the past 4 days and it's the bomb...

Crazy smooth, super fast and no hiccups whatsoever.

Tested the hell out of it and I'm still trying to find any flaws but none so far. Battery has improved a lot compare to previous updates. I'm sure y'all are gonna be very happy once you get to see what I'm taking about.

I Don't remember exactly when but someone asked about what launcher is everyone using with this Rom. Let me tell you that I tested it with Go Launcher and ADW EX, both of them work great. I couldn't tell if there's was any lag in them, both run pretty fast and smooth.

I'm really digging this new update!

Thanks dude for letting me test this awesomeness for you, I appreciate it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FlagshipX:
I tried the waiting 10 minutes after the double wipe and it was still a little flaky.

I then manually wiped all of it, super wipe, and left the wipe tag on the flash, and it's improved. I'll keep a eye on it but this is seems about right. I will have to go to TMO tomorrow and get them to give me a updated sim cards.

Im gettin some pretty decent battery life after deleting some of the useless self activating apps and flashing this duo.

So excited for 2.5!! Ahh the hype :d

I disagree, I'm a very heavy user and I'm getting the same battery as I have with the last two Darkside ROMs. But...each device it different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Hey TDJ. Amazing work here dude. Seriously the best rom I've ever ran. Phone is very fast, buttery smooth and battery life is great. I get 1/2 % battery drain an hour with screen off. Thank you!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GBGamer:
I'm pretty sure he was being facetious, as when you see the pictures he uploaded, they show amazing battery life.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I stopped worrying about batt life. I cant control or predict it, ive drained 20% in an hour before and never knew how. Some apps are written like crap, and combined with 4g data usage it destroys the batt. I think if youre having bad batt life with some of our current roms, that youre just using your phone ina way that isnt good for batt life. I personally may end up buying an extended battery from mugen(since its the only one that is of high quality).

Any plans for including Beats audio with 2.5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MatrimCauthon:
Beats Audio?

I hope it does not include Beats audio. They don't have it perfected. The light cracking in the background makes the rom very unusable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo I prefer my listen to my music the way it was recorded.

Invest a couple of bucks on Power Amp, it does a MUCH better job and you can customize your music the way you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MatrimCauthon:
Beats Audio?

I saw the beats audio zip on the amaze forum, after it was removed from the main thread. Download it now and you can flash it on any rom you like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
No.. its all a gimmick to me. I have a pair of beats studio headphones and playerpro with dsp does a way better job than anything available imho. Xloud and beats will never find a way into my rom or onto my device. I have beats on my HTC device from when it first surfaced. On HTC you can actually tell difference, only issue is beats is exclusive to the HTC music app and player pro still sounds way better ..

Thank you sir, you are gentleman and a scholar............Oh and a pretty damn good dev also :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Ok, just read through the last 5 pages ad I have to say.... Derek ( TDJ ) I feel for ya bro. So many people whining about this and that! Most issues are bad downloads. I do EVERYTHING right from the phone using Dolphin browser. Its simple really. Download, move to root of your EXTERNAL storage, check MD5 ( there's a free market app ). From there, rename the file using any file explorer to have the flags you want.... boot cwm amd flash. I've flashed so many times ( literally in hundreds by now beta testing this and other roms ) and have never had an issue like weird battery drains, sms not working, stuck on edge ect. Try mu suggestion .... I bet it works and your problems disappear ..... ( I always full wipe using tdj's tool too ).

One more thing.... quit whining about the full battery notification. Ray already told you how to stop the notification sound so you can leave your phone in normal audio mode ( not silent mode ). It takes you a whole 10 seconds using a root explorer to wipe the media file for the battery full notification.

People forget that ROMS are made by the DEV for their personal devices generally. They are making it for themselves....not for you. Microands...... if you want something changed....build your own or modify the devs to your taste....

Sorry for the rant.... sick of people not reading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
Hit it out of the park!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmacdonald19:
People actually complain about that? Seriously, I haven't read all the posts but really??? COME ON. So your phone tells you "Sir, pardon me, but your battery is now full."

"Thank you, phone. You may now continue being awesome thanks to TDJ."

** EDIT ** After reading that, the only reason I can see that being an absolute nuisance is in the middle of the night while I'm trying to sleep. But I use an alarm clock app so that the only things that sound off are the phone ringing or the alarm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
Caught it on a bad morning. Then disregard my post, I'm down some with humor in here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
2 things:

just wanted to re ask if it's possible to make it so notifications like texts don't turn on the phone briefly? i find this pretty annoying.

also, i know this isn't the best place to ask, but does wifi calling include you recieving texts in places with little to no reception as well? i know this may sound dumb but i read something along those lines somewhere else last night and it's confusing me.

i don't have a wifi calling sim card anyway, but this might make me wanna go get that new sim card sooner heh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericsmart:
setting, wireless, uncheck wifi calling....Texts will still work with wifi. Is that what you wanted to know? I have deaf data plan...maybe its different between yours and mine, but it works for me.

also I haven't upgraded simcard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
I am loven this thank you very much couldnt post for a while to say that but ether way. only question I have is the other roms say to wait 10 mins and reboot again and use... should I have done that with yours? I don't understand the point behide that. It seems to be running just fine I get what I could ask for a battery life plus I am only 2 days into breaking it in. I like your rom better then the others so thank you looking forward to an and all updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Well it's good practice to let the phone sit 5-10 min after flashing and then do another reboot just to make sure everything settles in fine. The startup processes are going to take longer to run since the ROM was just flashed. The device will also be rebuilding its dalvik cache again among other things. Some problems people experience is simply because the begin using their phone right after a fresh flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FlagshipX:
So it's back to EDGE. I think the rom hates my job. I guess we have that common. ^_^

Still need that newer sim card. TMO giving me the run around today. But everything else is working swimmingly.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
So does that mean i should rewipe my phone. Or by now the system has been settled and im fine just got to keep that in mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
If everything is working then you should be fine. Anyways an update is coming anytime now so save that wipe for the update, OP mentioned an update no later than Friday. Cross your fingers....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
Keep it in mind.. There's no need for you to re wipe atm, you can do it when the update comes out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cangri87:
oh i'm crossing my fingers and toes.

Once this Drops it should hold me till CM9 drops.

Tired of flashing on the Regular, and kind of tired of XDA.

Keep the Quality Work coming Papa (TDJ)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:

It's cool dude, no worries. I suggest you do a lot of research /reading to learn more. Don't get me wrong but that will help you a lot.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
ooo lawdy i gotta go to a tmobile store asap in that case

hmm one more question, is gideon's script safe to use on this rom? (or the update?) heh :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shinigenEddy:
It is safe to use, and but more likely than not you would not want to use it. This is because TDJs roms come fully optimized and working to their fullest potential straight out of the box, and so using scripts or messing around with apps such as SetCPU and System Tuner may lead to negative results.

This is to the best of my knowledge, so someone correct me if I'm wrong haha, and hope I helped!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
This is why I hate foggy releases, don't think it will come out tonight, but I'm not woorried. Probably means I'll wake up tomorrow to see a new rom.

Thanks in advance TDJ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
yea most of the hype is coming from people other than the dev. it'll get released when its good and ready.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
There is definitely an update coming. A few last minute things in my personal life are pushing things back a bit. Hopefully will drop it today (Saturday - east coast time) later in the evening if not, hopefully Sunday. No worries I won't forget. Thanks for your patients.

Glad to see a reply to the thread from TDJ.

Honestly, I couldn't care less if it was next friday if it was more feature complete with the CPU script :P Either way, I guess it's time to prep the phone and make sure it's all charged up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
TDJ, did I read you correctly in one of your previous posts. Is the next release going to be the last?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmacdonald19:
I've been using the Gideon script tweaked for battery life and it works like a champ. No problems with the script, kernel and rom playing nice together.

Just my two cents!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Dont see anything in there implying its the last. I would die a little inside if it was tho. Maybe alot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Probably not...

Also removed 100% battery notification. So no need to ask anymore

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
Oh, there's no doubt about that! He's a great dude and an excellent dev., but it's kinda sad to see how people have been so demanding lately. People just don't get the fact that TDJ is helping us out a lot. He brought a handful of goodies ever since he came to this forum and still working hard on making this device shine.

I bought the SGS2 because I knew he was coming over. Knowing him and his excellent work made me think that this was gonna be a good move. I flashed juggernaut as my first and only rom until the Darkside made its appearance then I switched over. I've been more than happy here and have no plans to leave. Imo this is the best combo here!!

So people get ready for the update "2. 5", y'all are gonna be amazed. One last thing, let the boss do his job and try not to underestimate the DARKSIDE...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
No man Thank You! I been using your tools and what not on every phone I've owned.That says something. Your kernel is cooked into most dev's roms now that says something! dude your super wipe zip got ported everywhere I was using that on my hd2, before I even new who you were"lol". I would just hate to see a bunch of copy paste bandits push you out of the game "winning" :D

edit: Yea now that he removed batt full notification people will be requesting or reporting it as a bug. lol

"Uh hey when my battery is charged 100% my phone doesn't notify me. Do I need to clean install "LMAO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
Hey this is slightly unrelated, but I am using touch recovery and when I run your super write script and I notice that you have some ASCII art but it just shows up as a bunch of goop. Do I need to change the font size or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Touch recovery for our device is no good.. I don't recommend using it. Creates more problems than does any good. You can't adjust font size and it isn't related ton the don't size. It has to do with the row and column sizing. It would have to be compiled with the adjustments, not something that can be changed on the fly.. there is a reason I require cwm v5. 0.2.7 that is stated in the op..

OK I am having trouble finding that version theversion I see that is not touch Is 5.8.x.x
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
install the clockwork app and reflash the recoveries and it should put you back where you need to be I also had alot of issues with touch recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
tried that and cwmr had issues flashing to 5.0.2.7 so i did fixperm and im trying agin.

EDIT: All is well thank you very much. I figured if i was going to update to the new 2.5 when it comes out and any rom after that i want to have correct spacing in recovery for the new scripts you release.

Thanks a million

I am not leaving... love this device. Even tho I have grown to love stock sammy software, I really miss cm and being able to worknwith source rather assemble/disassemble everything. I have tried over and over to port the drivers for cm7 and have failed every time. There is something I an missing, but must be over my head.. oh well, will wait for steve and the boys to drop cm9 source and start compiling some builds again...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
/me breathes a sigh of relief.

I'll be honest. What drew me to this rom wasn't the features or you. But rather how you did things. Specifically the flags to pass to the f

ROM file. That is nothing short of brilliant. It may have been simple to code (maybe not), but it drew me in. And I figured this dev has the smarts to code well. And your mindset is the mindset of the person I trust with the OS I'll run on my phone. The battery performance and other features were just an added bonus.

I hope you just removed the ogg file from the ui folder to stop the battery full notification, because that's easy to put back. I personally want that notification....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
I hope so too....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
Can't you just manually remove it with root explorer or Astro file manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
Yes you can, that's why i dont think it's appropriate to include in the update.. that's also why i think tdj probably went further and removed more than just the sound file. Which would suck for me, cause i like being notified when my battery is completely charged, and wouldn't know how to reimplement it if it was removed from the framework..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
AWwwww, slightly disappointing. I mean this is like one of the few roms that have this 'feature'. Perhaps option flash to get this back? I know it was mentioned it is easily removable but people never bothered to do it and decided to complain instead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can count me in the last several replies regarding "hope you left a way to turn it back on" because I do like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
You guys are crazy. People nagged to get it removed then now are nagging because you want it back. You're getting a service for.free. IM sure you guys could have figured out how to remove it yourself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
I don't think a lot of people realize how easy it is to remove or even change the battery full and charger connected notifications. I say leave them in and if someone doesn't like them they can remove them. Hell, I've made my own sounds for my phone. All you need is a root explorer to change them out or delete them all together.Let the ROM include everything the dev feels like putting in there and let individual people learn how to modify the little things to their liking. It isn't that difficult.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
The concept is simple.

You have two groups of people; One that like it, one that doesn't.

The group that doesn't like it complained because the feature was intact. The group that does like it, didn't say anything because there's quite frankly nothing to say about it because they liked it.

On the flipside now that it is gone, the group that wants it is finally voicing there opinion that they liked it. The group that doesn't like it is probably going to fade back now because they got what they wanted.

So yes, in every case of it there will be people asking for one way or the other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiger19:
Any plan for other language? Add Turkish pls or tell me how to do .if its easy :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
plz don't add any additional language into this ROM if user want a certain language they could do it themselves or learn the native language that come stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
Exactly, this rom was supposed to be left as close to stock as possible. And given how easy it is to remove the notification sound manually i really never expected tdj to give in to that request. But now that he did, I'm just making sure it will be as easy to restore it as it was to remove.. No one is nagging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
I'm amazed how this thread went from talking about the rom, and asking technical support questions....to what people don't like about this rom, or other roms. Back to topic, is anyone experiencing any issues with 2.4, or 2.5 beta? How's your battery? What made you choose this rom? Is your signal better or worse? So you enjoy the tweaks that were made... etc.?

I can't make everyone happy.. I have removed the entire notification. I am not going back and forth with it.. it's a done deal at this point and shouldn't be a deal breaker for anyone.

Also, I just edit tw launcher.. how many like, how many dislike? Getting close to release and want some quick feedback
