That line in build.prop comes stock from Samsung. I believe if you set it to 0 (0=off) you will have a very sluggish ui

Next release address all the ui issues and will be one of if not the fastest ui's on this board...

I'm gonna go ahead and corraborate what he says. I'm running it and it is most definitely the fastest rom for our device. I've been saying it since I was trying to get everyone to donate for tdj to get the device....dude knows what he's doing. And always delivers. That's 100% word.

As requested the day before here is my battery life still going strong with screen on time shot and theme look:

Random question:

So I've been looking through the past few pages and I can't tell if the dev removed the undervolt or not? I know there have been some stabilities with the aggressive UV.

Moreover, if not, can I merely go into the bootscript and change 1350000 to the stock 1512000 without messing with voltages?

Also, curious why min isn't 192? This is the only ROM to ship with an underclock, but why not underclock the min freq...that's probably where you'll save the most power.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
@TDJ . Cant wait for the next release. I had prime battery life on 2.3 but a bit less on 2.4.... Figured id try synergy kernel just to see what all the hype was about. Your kernel performs better and ill def flash the next release. Keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
You know you can count on me dude... Any time, just let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
That's right on target. The best undervolting/underclocking combo in whatever ROM/kernel will net you around 4-5h screen time. Stock will get you 2-3h screen time for a full drain. Screen on time is far and away the most accurate standard by which to judge battery life since the screen almost invariably sips more power than any other service. I usually get 2-3h screen time with 15h off battery and come out with around 20-30% left. No need to calibrate, just get off your phone more :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] trypt4mine:
Why is it that I've flashed countless amounts of roms to my phones and tablets and to friends` phones and tablets and always had great feedback on better battery and stability? developers test the ROMs thoroughly, any problems you're having are likely your own fault.

F.Y.I i flashed a ROM to my younger brothers Android that he's has on pay and talk for like two years. my phone blew it out of the water in every aspect obviously lol but after rooting and flashing a ROM to it, it breathed new life into the phone. He was planning on buying a new one finally on payday but can't believe how much better it made his phone so he's sticking with it.

so basically ROMs are better lol, if they weren't then why would they be made and why would people donate to developers and use the ROMs? To have an un stable phone? Hahahaa i think I've said enough;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
Odd problem: I have to start by saying I have NOT installed any new apps recently. I'm running 2.4 and living it. My wife is running 2.1 because she doesn't want to deal, with another flash. We are both having the same problem. Our phones are not ringing and giving us difficulty when dialing out. Randomly during the day we will get voicemails from people who's calls didn't go through to us. This seems to only apply when we are using wifi calling which is pretty much 85% of the time for us. I tried rebooting my router and it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? We have both had this rom installed for substantial amounts of time so it can't be a bad flash...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Just a quick question: is a transparent lock screen a feature of this ROM? Somehow or another when I flashed v2.3 I ended up with a transparent lock screen after clearing cache/dalvik/permissions (I think!) and I've actually become quite fond of it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recreate it on v2.4, so I was wondering did I just luck out on v2.3 or is transparent lock screen buried in some settings that I just haven't found?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
I think fixing permissions in cwm does that for ya!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
It can be many issues. Most likely poor wifi connection. Since you don't have a stock SGS2 to compare, you should nandroid, reflash stock, and run it for a few days to make sure its not the rom. Also, this may be a silly question but you wouldn't have the wifi sleep policy set to sleep with screen off, would you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
No definitely not. After I replied to the poster above I decided I should take my own advice. So I fixed permissions in cwm and also wiped cache and dalvik to be safe. So far so good on both phones!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I tried, both in recovery and through ROM manager, no luck :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
I've always gotten the clear lockscreen when wiping the caches and rebooting.

I haven't cared enough to pay enough attention tho since I use milocker

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
Thanks TDJ, just got your message. I'll be flashing tonight, and get back to you with how everything feels. I'll compare battery with what I get now. Currently running 2.4, for the record. Testing 2.5/03.

°*TerrorCandii™ Gaming*°
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
first make sure you set the lockscreen background as an image from your sdcard. Then boot into cwm and fix permissions.. It works for me every time. I love the translucent lockscreen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I get this bug with wifi calling all the time regardless of which rom im using (stock 2.3.6 even). i think it has to do with tmobil.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
What's up TDJ? Just wanted to let you know that I backed everything up this morning and I'm good to go in case you need me to test something for you...

Let me know!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Same here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I know I'm a new guy on the block but I'm also willing to test.

Anyways, I keep getting PM's about my battery life so here is the same battery run as of yesterday, just died out. Here was my flash setup:

*** Please note before anything below was done I had killed the battery till the phone shut off, recharged till 100%, unplugged, plug back in until 100% shown and then started steps below ***

[1] Did backup with Titanium backup (apps)

[2] Was running ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7

[3] Downloaded version DIGITAL.WARFARE v2.4 - 2.26.2012

[4] Renamed file and added tags -wipe-notw then placed file on sd card

[5] Rebooted into recovery and did "NANDROID BACKUP"

[6] Select perform factory wipe

[7] Navigate to mounts and storage and format /system

[8] Choose to install zip from the sdcard

[9] Wait while the rom is being flashed

[10] Once zip has finished installing, reboot

[11] I waited about 15 minutes, didn't touch my phone

[12] Reboot and gave it about 5 minutes, rebooted into recovery and flash "byebyeclock.zip" to get rid of the clock in the top right hand side and then flashed Blue Icons and rebooted again to start my setup.

I've had no issues, fast and smooth IU. Battery shots below are with wifi on entire time, bluetooth on about 12-14 hours. The above steps aren't required and I may have just over done it but it didn't hurt anything. I can't provide anymore information so please reframe from PMing me regarding battery stats.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] naosuke:
I just wanted to step from the shadows for a bit to say Thanks for providing the absolute best rom experience I've ever had since my Nexus One. TDJ, Raycaster, etc. Thanks you guys. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BIOYAM:
Thanks XPerties..... nice "step-by step".

I have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.3 ... and coming from learning to flash with a tablet, my "wipe" procedure went a little different. I did the following:

After booting into recovery,

(1) I selected "Wipe Cache Partition"

(2) Then then selected "Advance".... Then selected "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

(3) I went back to the first menu and Selected "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"

Then flashed...... By the way, I too am having no issues at all.

For future reference, can an experienced person chime in as to which might be the preferred method?

Thanks in Advance!

Caveat emptor.

All. This is a great rom as I've noted before. But please be aware you can not dial 911 on this rom.

I have tmobile in north america.

Luckily for me, my friend was with me at the time I needed to dial 911 and was able to use his phone. Someone else may not be that lucky.

Regardless I will still be using this rom. I just wanted to let everyone else know, if it has not been said yet.

EDIT: DISREGARD!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Y cant you dial 911?

:: LOVE MY HATERS :: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] charlieton:
weird. i was driving through on the 91 in riverside, ca and saw a man hunched over in his vehicle on the side of the road. i tried calling 911 3 times and each time it was not able to connect.

i just tried now, to give you any information on what it said but it is working now.

I will try that next time it happens...but do we have any clue what causes it to happen UN the first place
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
so i did the wipe and notw flags but i still got touchwiz....why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
You probably spaced -notw flag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
but i copied it from the Page?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
huh?

Did you:

[3] Downloaded version DIGITAL.WARFARE v2.4 - 2.26.2012

[4] Renamed file and added tags -wipe-notw then placed file on sd card

So the file you downloaded was named

DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2.4_TDJ.zip

You should have renamed it to:

DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2.4_TDJ-wipe-notw.zip

...and placed it on your sdcard and then flashed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
oh! it just ha 2 it doesnt have the 2.4! does that make a difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Did you download the latest version?

All I suggest is go back to the first page, download the latest version and do what I posted before making sure you rename the file and make sure you have no spaces. So the file should be named:

DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2.4_TDJ-wipe-notw.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
i add the (.4) behind the 2 so it looks like 2.4 should i reflash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Did you actually download the latest version? You can't just add a 4 if the actually source isn't the latest version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
im pretty sure i did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I would go to one of the download mirrors such as this one:

http://minus.com/mbfQfBWDxV

re-download the file and save it on your desktop. After the file is done downloading, right click, rename, adding -wipe-notw with "NO" spaces to end of file so it looks exactly like this:

DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2.4_TDJ-wipe-notw.zip

Place it on your sdcard and reflash again.

I've been using the Darkside ROM on this phone since Anarky's inception, and it has worked flawlessly every time. I updated to version 2.4 about 3 days ago and hadn't charged my phone since.

My battery life was running at approximately 6 percent and I sent a text message as normal, and it was stuck at sending. I tried turning wireless data off from the toggles in the pull-down and it was stuck. When I went to Wireless Network in the settings option, my phone rebooted. Once it started up again, my service would not come back, and the phone would continually bootloop once it got past the traditional "media scanner running", etc. My window of opportunity to do anything was really slim.

I charged my phone to see if it made a difference, but it didn't. Tried with my SIM card removed and it still bootlooped. I was able to get to CWM from the advanced power menu before it rebooted again and I fixed permissions and cleared cache and dalvik. Now the phone doesn't even past the boot animation before rebooting. I'm absolutely baffled as to what could have happened. Radio issue? Has anyone had this happen to them? Thanks in advance for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
did you place the file on the the root of the sd card? or did you have it a folder?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
That happened to me every single time I rebooted for about 2 weeks. You'll need to do a clean install before you'll get your phone to boot. I'm guessing if you try to restore a nandroid you'll get an error on /data restore (if it is like mine was anyhow) the way I fixed it (I think because I didn't have the problem after doing this) was flash recovery in rom manager literally 11 times. Now it could work with less or not idk... all I'm saying/know is that is what did it for me. I tried everything I could think of for those two weeks and ever since I did the recovery flash-a-thon I've been good. I've even switched my recovery to the custom touch one on the dev board and have been good to go for a couple weeks now. I really have no idea what caused the problem in the first place, and you can ask tdj I told him about it a few times but didn't post much about it since I hadn't seen anyone else go thru the same thing, so I thought my device was about to die again (I've already had one just crap out on me). Anyhow, long-winded answer I know, but try a clean install and see what happens, but see if you can/can't restore a backup first to test my theory, if you want to that is...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Raycaster... Did your problems occur with backups made via rom manager or touch recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:
Thank you for your response, raycaster3. I tried going into CWM and reflashing in every possible way. First, without wiping data and then with a full wipe of everything but nothing works: I continue to get a bootloop once the opening animation ends. I'm a little lost as to what you mean by "flashing recovery in ROM manager," so please forgive my ignorance. Either way, I can't access my phone to use anything and I really would rather not revert back to stock using Odin, as that is a time consuming process for me. This is just incredibly frustrating as it literally came out of nowhere and I'm always careful with how I flash ROMS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
You have to get it to boot then go to rom manager and select the flash recovery option and I did have to odin back to stock once. Btw

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:
At this point, that's my only option. Sigh. Thanks again for your help. While I absolutely love this ROM and the work thederekjay put into it, I'm hesitant to reflash it now given that I don't know what the culprit was behind this whole mess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Are you using touch recovery?

:: LOVE MY HATERS :: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
I know it wasn't the rom for sure.

That's how I think my problems started to be honest (touch recovery). I think we talked about that when it was happening to me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:

By the way, thederekjay, considering I'm reverting back to stock and practically starting all over again I'd be willing to test anything if need be. In any case, hopefully this works out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:
So I reverted back to stock 2.3.6 through Odin and I am still getting bootlooping. My phone manages to turn on, but cannot locate service (says searching) and after about 10-15 seconds, it reboots. I can't keep it from turning on and rebooting unless I pull the battery and it doesn't stay on long enough to allow me to do anything. What the hell happened? I suppose at this point it's no longer a rom issue, but any insight would be appreciated. I have no backup phone and no insurance, so contacting T-Mobile is not an option. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
Even though you don't have insurance the phone might still be under warranty.. If I were you I would call them and find out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:

Question, have you tried doing a Superwipe, then installing a different rom? Not saying you didn't, just closing gaps, if any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Hmm I'd still try a superwipe and flash a rom. That's how I would escape. Clean install and it would go back to normal. I've been right where you are and it blows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:
I rooted the phone and reinstalled CWM and reflashed Darkside Digital Warfare 2.4 with a superwipe, and once again, it cannot get past the white Android boot screen before bootlooping infinitely. Could the phone seriously just have broken?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Hmm ok maybe try removing your sd if you have one in and see if that changes anything. Crap dude. I'm not sure man.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a12m4nd0:
I did, and nothing.

Thank you guys for offering suggestions and I apologize to thederekjay for cluttering his thread with this. I guess my only option is to unroot and restore stock and see if they'll offer me any solution at a T-Mobile store. I was hoping to avoid it due to the fact that I made a previous warranty exchange and got a white one as a result. Damn it man, first time this ever happens to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
TDJ, 2.5TEST003....running flawlessly. Everything is great, haven't changed anything, or tossed on any mods. Just using exactly what you sent me. Battery is better then 2.4, takes longer to kill...even during gaming. Which for me is a huge plus. Not sure if I want to change anything, like I usually do, Lol. UI is definitely faster then before as well. It's extremely smooth, and the animations just glide through each other, which is very nice. Transitions are also very fluid, looks awesome. No bugs, or glitches, everything just works perfectly. Loving it, and definitely flashing the final release. Sorry, it's not a PM...actually forget how to send one, Lol. It's been awhile... :P

Mirrors

TDJ,

I work in the Financial Industry at a major wire house, and our internet is locked down big time (I'm actually stunned I can even access XDA). Anyway, pretty much every download site is blocked. I can not download any of your links (or other rom links) from the office. But, I do have access to sourceforge.net for downloads. Is there anyway you could use sourceforge for a mirror on your next release so I do not have to rip through my cap by downloading with my phone? Is it that hard to set up and distribute through sourceforge? I am sure other people are facing the same problem as I on here.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I actually agree with you and know a few friends including my 2 brothers who work for the government who can not access download sites.

Ive offered to dev to mirror their roms at http://mirror.xperties.net/ but have not been taken up on the offer or had their permission so if you need me to supply you or anyone else a link I can provide that in a PM if the devs don't mind.
