Yes, it's really nice, smooth as awesomesauce, and everything flies. I thought it was quick before, but this is amazing. Speed is another thing I benchmark both Antutu, and then ran speedtest.net. I'm posting screenies tonight. You really won't believe me unless I show you, so. I'll say this, from 2.4...............it's a Ugo in comparison to 2.5. There's that much of a noticeable difference. Speed, smooth, Glam, purity, and the inevitable dream of joining the Darkside...this rom is the best GB. I'll put money on those speed tests too, Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lvlonkey:
Oh i really hope it's everything you say it is because while i like Darkside the jitteryness of the ui annoyed me so i tried out faux's beta kernel. Its smooth but so far it seems to hit the battery harder than Darkside
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
First of all I've never seen ANY jitteriness from anything tdj has released to date. That said, the update in the works will clear up all doubt as to what is the fastest rom. Ever noticed what kernel other roms are running when all the ppl hype the speed and battery life? DARKSIDE kernel. People are definitely allowed their own opinion, but there isn't a damn thing slow, buggy, jittery, or whatever about thus update! (or any prior build imo)

Buckle your seatbelts is all I have to say.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I cant believe people were saying the synergy kernel was better than the darkside kernel. i just finished trying synergy for the last four days and its laggy and slow compared to every kernel ive tried from tdj.

Darkside kernels are the only ones id recommend. they also boot up the fastest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lvlonkey:
i didn't mean any offense at all its in my opinion when i switched kernels to faux everything felt smoother. also, at same clock speed and voltages faux was getting better benchmark scores than the darkside kernel. again, i think tdj does amazing work and i cant wait to try out the new update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Anthonomy:
I experience the jitteriness as well. If you push the home softkey when you're on a different page, the transition to your default page is not smooth at all. Only a minor issue though, still love this rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Ok i know the jitter you are experiencing. it seems to me that it only occurs when you are running a bunch of apps and then abruptly switch back to the home screen with the home button.

This maybe a hardware limitation... Devices act this way when overloaded or at max capacity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
You got that right... I tried synergy myself and it was very laggy. I'm still running 2.3 and loving the performance and battery life.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
I've always ran Synergy kernel on Darkside. It always smoothed things out, and just made this phone flawless, but with the 2.5 I'm testing.....it seems perfect. It's not the same kernel from 2.4, according to the info in "About Phone". Kernel is definitely more stable. Loving everything about the update. Just don't forget to install it properly folks. Superwipe everytime.....I believe in opinion as well. I must say I've always loved Mr. X's Synergy kernel, therefore no lag from when I've used it....but everyone's device takes different. I respect every devs work, and only go by what I see. Always go by your sight, if you see more problems then others....superwipe, and flash whatever it is again. Darkside for life....Thank you TDJ for your hard work, and giving me the opportunity to test for you. Always down for anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
Also would like to note....12h 59m uptime on moderate use, and installing all my games again. Played Modern Combat 3 for an hour, and still have 39% battery left. Hope this helps people get an idea of how awesome the update is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
None taken. Just going off my experience. Then again I've never run the tw version of this rom for more than a few minutes. Maybe that's where you see the "lag" I use Adwex. I've never seen such speed. I've used pretty much every good device for tmobile and even some from other carriers and I'm telling everyone here with full confidence that this rom on sgh-t989 is the fastest I've run straight up. I'm running cm9 on a g2x I just picked up for a backup and while it's quick, forget about it.. WARFARE rules. Call me a fan boy kiss ass or whatever you want I'm calling it like I see it.

7459 Antutu results fifth place under Galaxy S2 scores. To me, that makes this Rom amazing. I'm using Go Launcher, but doubt that changes anything. It's just smoother then TW to me, so. Smokes the Galaxy Note too, so I'm extremely happy with my score, Lol.

It is currently being beta tested. the goal is to release a clean version with as few bugs as possible. this is easier to accomplish with a few beta testers.

As far as ETAs go, lets just say the new version will be ready before tmobil and samsung get us ics ;).

too late to get on this list of beta testers?

...

also TDJ , i'm trying to edit the touchwiz30launcher.apk so that we can get a clear statusbar.. i found a wallpapercanvasview class that calculates the height of the canvas by first subtracting the height of the status bar, so instead i create a new variable at value 0 and have it subtract that instead. still no go. .. do you know any thing about this? i can't find anyone out there that has successfully made a transparent statusbar for touchwiz, at least our version.

sorry to take up the space in your ROMs thread, but i don't have anyone to ask at this point. hoping you might know something or lead me in a new direction!

thanks

Just wondering which launchers ppl are using? Recommendations?

Also, would I or do I have to freeze TW launcher when I am running another launcher?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
i mean the status bar. the black bar at the top of the screen with the icons and clock and such. i have already made a transparent pulldown mod, and transparent statusbar that only works in launchers other than twiz. that's how i knew it was going to have to be an edit to touchwiz30launcher.apk to get it to work with twiz. oh well i guess i'll keep chippin away at the smali edits. i know i'm close
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Zeam is the launcher on the notw version. if you use the -notw flag, the touchwiz launcher will be removed automatically. you can delete or freze the touchwiz launcher if u want, but dont do this without installing another launcher 1st AND doing a CWM backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
You don't really have to freeze it if you aren't gonna use it.. I doesn't affect the performance at all.

I'm using Go Launcher as my default launcher. It works flawesly and smooth, specially with the test build I'm running.

BTW I'm running the notw version of this Rom.

I was really hoping to get my CPU script completed for v2.5 but haven't been able to touch it since this past weekend. Also wanted to make a few changes, but just haven had enough time. I have how ever got about all the major under he hood changes complete and reworked how system handles all scripts and so on. I am shooting to release what I have completed by no later than Friday. I still want to test some changes I have made. This next version is really built around my kernel and will only function a 100% with the kernel i include. So if a user flashes another kernel the rom will not function as intended. There are many reasons I have gone this route, if a user wants to use another kernel they can, but loose functionality... if that doesn't work for some people there are other options on the board.

Thanks for the update, TDJ! I have come to the DARKSIDE and 2.4 is already amazing.

I am sure that our patience will pay off for you to get the CPU script and the others tweaks completed in your spare time.... whenever it is ready. I am glad that you are not one to release partly tweaked, butchered roms.... it truly shows in your DARKSIDE releases.

skyrocket checking in. i am downloading the rom now and will report back later. I think this wipe script is genius. we are having unbelievable trouble with leftover data crap left behind from cwm wipes. i assumed it was from having to use t-989 version of cwm but sounds like t-989 is having the same issue with left over data (or corrupt partitions) just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] damngood98:
ok, just throwing a few (or more) ideas:

volume wake

advanced power menu....in the toggles works for me, especially if we can pick and choose the toggles

lockscreen options

otherwise this is looking great, can't wait to see what you come up with, especially as highly regarded your other roms are given from your former phones

skyrocket

Honestly, I don't know. I do know that the two devices are basically the same; and that you can run any 989 rom/mod/theme on skyrocket (and vice-a-versa), you can even run 989 specific kernels. The only difference being 90 degrees on rotation. What do you think (in no way am I trying to tie you down to an answer)? I was seconds from installing with wipe & no touchW...then I checked this thread one more time.

Skyrocket uses T-mobile gs2 version of CWM as well. Not sure if this info helps. I love the Darkside teams work on this phone; meaning skyrocket, I generally use dewizzed as my daily driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Calz-:
This is the "about" section on the darkside digital anarky rom stock.

This is this rom with the ics battery jug mod

Notice how it changes the kernel version and adds a mod statistic to it as well?

*This is with the ios dropdown and ics battery mod

It changes the build number.

*Than this is with the WHOLE ics ultimate theme with the ios dropdown.

Changes the build number, kernel name and mod version is added as well and the battery changes to green instead of blue.

This is with the ics theme and ios dropdown as well but it adds jugs rom control option to it but is empty and makes the settings force close when trying to select the rom control option.

Just trying to show people what flashing the theme will do. Not an issue at all just insight for people curios :). Love the rom by the way.

I guess I will try to flash with only the no TW flag instead of with no TW and full wipe flag (and just do wipe on my own). We'll see what happens.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Installed with no problems on skyrocket. I only added -notw flag, the only thing different is that screen rotation is off 90 degrees (easily fixed flashing skyrocket kernel or just turning off auto-rotate)

So, do you think it would survive flash including the full wipe flag? Just asking your opinion.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
It means that I moved everything out of the init.d folder and localized all my scripts to a different folder that only my kernel will run. I have also verified that all my scripts run as intended and change all appropriate values. I did this because I am tired of seeing cut and paste devs take a handful of scripts and toss them on the init.d folder and have no idea what they do or if they are written and running properly. This also makes it difficult to just copy things unless people know what they r doing. I am on a bit of a rant, but tired of seeing the way certain things are. I am not end all be all of devs. I know what I know and I know what I don't know. I am not trying to fool anyone. Anyways sorry for my rant but tired of seeing what I see and I need to set myself aside from that and will be doing that with each release..
