I dont know what you have done to your rom but i have to say that this is the best rom i tried so far.

Battery life is weird.... Lol, it last longer approximately 25% more (its been 16 hrs and still have 25%. I use my phone moderately and i have galaxy nexus battery.

Any random Reboots

Hello All,

I updated to the latest and greatest using a clean install. Used the super wipe file and did additional wipes in CWM.. Anyway, Ive been running this Rom for about 24 hrs and have experienced half a dozen reboots and all randomly mainly while not in use.

I have used this rom as is with no additional apps or any apps installed via Titanium and have experienced these random reboots. Im not using any CPU apps or anything else. Its as stock as this rom gets. Anyone else experiencing reboots?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:

Long time lurker, first time poster on this thread. XDA wouldn't let me post in the development section until I built up my post count elsewhere, so that's what I did to be able to post here.

I've been using the various versions of this ROM since it was first released to the public and I want to echo the positive sentiments that other members have been posting here. Good stuff.

Personally, I've always flashed with the -wipe option and just used it as is... I'm not that fussy about mods and themes and all that. It's 99% of what I'd want to see in ROM straight out of the zip, so that's plenty good enough for me to just flash it and use it. I appreciate TDJ's desire to leave it as stock as possible, but some users will always want something slightly different to suit their preferences and can never be too sure if some mod out there will work with this particular ROM. As a result, the thread is filled with questions along this line. With this in mind, I had an idea/suggestion I wanted to share here...

Have a separate mod zip file with various features and tweaks that can be enabled or disabled with flag switches. That way, the user can just add or remove certain things "a la carte" without having TDJ release a whole new ROM for this or that feature. To give an example of what I mean.... the user flashes the actual ROM first, then a MODS.zip that might look like...

DS.DW.MODS-notw-volwake-googleicons-transparentnotify-icsbootanim-whatever.zip

That would allow TDJ to pursue development with the "as stock as possible" philosophy and still satisfy some users without too much fuss. I know TDJ also said he likes to fly solo, but separating it out this way might let him take on a "junior dev" who would just be responsible for just this part of the DW package. He can then focus on the guts of the ROM that make it great and allow someone else to handle the other fluffy stuff.

Granted, I'm not familiar with the technical underpinnings that would make all this possible, so it might not be worth the effort. I just thought something along these lines would provide the best of both worlds and keep everyone happy.

Finally... talk is cheap, so I made a donation for you to have a couple brews on me. Thanks and keep up the good work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
So after a few days on this rom I have found a weird issue. My battery is taking forever to drain!! Its unfair to my charger who is getting less use!! Could you address this in the next update please? :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mayhem204:
Been running 2.4 with no problems I love it! Thanks TDJ .. just wondering one thing if its possible for future builds. Is there a way to have the notification repeat somehow? Its sucks that Samsung didn't think of that .. I just hate getting a text and the phone only rings or vibrates once. I currently use the missed text reminder app for that, but would love a more seemless way of doing so. Once again just wondering ;):beer:

Thanks again for the great rom!

Here's the link for app I use if anyone else is interested

You can't change the 1st splash image without recompiling the kernel. Its not as simple as bootanimation. Whatever image came with the kernel you use is the one you're stuck with unless you have the source and know how to compile the kernel. Sorry can't help you with this one..

I'm on the same boat as you. Wish Samsung included a small led for missed calls or messages. I was wondering if there is a way to have the soft keys pulse when a message or call is missed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cangri87:
if you still have the rom, why dont you extract it from there? just look in the Kernel and you should see the file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
It's called BLN Pro in the market. Soft keys light up when you missed calls/texts, etc. and with Pro, they even pulse. Hope this helps. And, btw, darkside kernel supports BLN (stands for back light notification).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
+1

Also, this is the best ROM/kernel for using this feature, with most BLN doesn't work with the stock SMS app, you would have to use handcent/go SMS; this one has support built in. It activates for missed emails, SMS, and calls (call is in BLN control pro only)

Black List

I asked this a couple of weeks ago but never saw an answer.

Is there a way to manually back up your "Black List" so you can restore after a wipe? What is the filename and where is it located? I get tired of having to re-black list numbers.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Call > call rejection > auto reject list is what youbare talking about right?

I keep a list of contacts called SPAM. Numbers in spam are sent straight to voicemail.

Does the built in blacklist feature send calls directly to voicemail?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
Yes, it sends them to voice mail without ringing your phone. I have a couple of stalker chicks I have to "send to timeout," and hate having to re-blacklist them every time. Also the damn robo calls and whatnots. I just want to be able to either export my blacklist and re-import into new rom, or find the blacklist data file and drop it back in new rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoman7663:
If I'm not mistaken using Titanium Backup you can backup the system app "call settings" which saves all of the blacklisted numbers as well as the rest of the call settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I just wonder how much this would screw things up if restored to a new rom / kernel...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoman7663:
Well... the stories go either way. Either great and wonderful or wow, I shouldn't have done that! I have had both happen to me. More so back with the Nexus One than with the GS2. Provided the system apps are the same saving and restoring the data from individual apps such as this one "SHOULD" be ok. Most of the time it is said to never restore system data only user apps and data, but I rarely have any problem doing full restores from TB (On this device). Usually if a problem occurs it's self inflicted and not TB related. Nandroid and check it out.

hey guys galaxy sII noob here I've flashed phones before so i have experience just not on the s2 my bro wants me to flash it for him and i don't want to ruin his machine so i have a couple questions

i plan on rooting using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514434

unless you guys recommend a different way that's better or easier.

im running stock 2.3.6 atm now the guide says after you odin you have to boot into CWM and flash a rooted rom so questions

1. can i flash this rom at that ^^ step? or do i have to flash a different rom first and then this one?

2. is it easier to instead to boot into CWM flash the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip file from the guide which grants root. then boot up, reboot into recovery and finally flash this rom?

also if i make no sense please correct me like i said i don't want to mess up his phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Once you flash the recovery, you can just boot onto it and flash the rom.

No its not necessary to flash the su file then the rom. Just install the recovery and flash away. Make sure you read the OP's installation instructions and understand what to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aldoit01:

Reboots 200 times if I reboot the phone

ROM is awesome. NO Complain.

The only thing bothers me is whenever I manually reboot the phone, it goes into loop and takes forever to restart.

SDometime it take 20 mins also ( in the mean while it is rebooting everytime ).

I have tried everything:

1. Installed a fresh ROM

2. Fixed permission 30 times

3. Cleared all Cache and Dalvik cache

4. and few other things.

Can someone please help me with this issue ??

PS: any one else also having the same problem ?

Thanks,

What a relief to know that I'm not the only one having this issue. In my case it's very random now and not all the time anymore. I know someone mentioned a bad DL but my MD5 checks out fine. Battery pull is the only way I can reboot corrently. The thing is also if it functions 100% after it loads.

BTW: Did yours bootloop as soon as after the 1st boot, cause mine did?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
Yes. Goto settings>display>screen display Under "Lock screen" click wallpaper. That simple. Most people miss clicking screen display and never see these options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] creepy_maverick:
thank you sir... have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
TDJ,

I've been on this ROM using it for my daily driver since the first day you dropped it (Anarky days). I really have to say with this release, Bravo--this thing is so tight and smooth, it's stunning actually. I have not experienced any random reboots, freezes, etc. And the battery goes forever. This thing just wants to run. . . .and well.

The only thing I miss from other roms is the ability to swipe notifications from the pull down individually. I don't use it that often, but sometimes I like to leave notifications up as a reminder, but they get cluttered by other notifications, or I forget and clear them all accidently. Any chance you could put that feature in? Please. . . .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
So this is running at stock voltages? You're saying the aggressive undervolt was there, but is now gone right?

I see the kernel in this ROM is underclocked by default.

What app do you recommend for adjusting clocks and voltage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajsam4u:
Yes my bootloop start after the 1st boot itself. I have tried installing with a FRESH ROM also ( MD5 check also ), but no use :(.

Is there because of some radio or any other problem ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
TDJ used to undervolt this rom. He now leaves it at default. Use System Tuner or whatnot to see your voltage chart. Default on max freq. at 1.83Hz is 1325mV. and that is where this kernel is NOW. A lot of people can knock it down globally at least -50mV to 1300mV without any problems, but TDJ left it on default voltages to prevent people from having problems with phones that do not undervolt too well.

So: Yes to underclock -- 1.35Hz as max freq. now.. And No to undervolt (default of 1325mV at 1.83Hz).

As for programs. . . hmm, if all you are doing is undervolting, then FauxClock, System Tuner, or CPU Tuner. All I use is System Tuner to undervolt and use the "Apply on boot completed" to make my undervolt settings stick. You can use gideon's script for undervolting, but I am not sure if it get overwritten after the boot process, so it might not work. FauxClock might work, but again, not sure if setting you put in stick after boot process (scripts that run from TDJ). I can confirm System Tuner Pro works.

Hope this helps.
