Does this have SMS over WiFi as well or is that under WiFi Calling?

Was using the Slickmod rom and everything worked great there except the battery life.

the main thing for me in battery life for any rom. so basically read through the forums here and found that this rom should be what I'm looking for.

I'll report back.

Edit: Found that when you are using wifi hotspot, I cannot change the password for WPA. Anyone else?

I've read that Swype is not included in this rom. So I've tried (like a few mentioned here) to install the Swype Beta and I am also getting FC's. Any fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] titaneds73:
this one has swype,i got fc with swype at first but reinstalled with a full wipe and that seemed to do the trick.as for changing the password i just checked and it works for me let me change the password,i changed the password before starting wifi hotspot that worked.

p.s. make sure you back everything up with titanium before you do a full wipe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:

Not complaining but noticed that the Quadrant scores were a little lower on this latest build. Previous build I never scored under 3000 and now I can't seem to hit 3000. Testing with stock voltages and clock fyi.

Also, quadrant is useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PENKO956:

*I also agree quadrant scores don't really mean anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
ok, it was my stupid fault about the password in the hotspot cause the password i set was not long enough..d'oh

as for swype, there is a version included in the rom (not the beta version - newer) but the current version. works fine btw.

now to see the battery life....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ((RayDar)):
Great, but....

Thanks for the update. The improved battery icon is excellent.

However, I am getting terrible Quadrant and CF-Bench results. The latter reports numbers in the 6,500 range instead of the usual 11,000 type values that are expected. When CF-Bench is running, a logcat shows this:

W/SharedBufferStack( 2183): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=75, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.
W/SharedBufferStack( 694): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=4, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] born2gethard:
You realize those are just numbers right? If you like the feel of the ROM then it shouldn't matter what a benchmark says
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
This is because quadrant and benchmarks are useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ((RayDar)):
W/SharedBufferStack( 2183): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=75, s

True. But the logcat message may be indicative of a bug in the system image. A bit of Googling shows that this problem may be caused by a defect in the GLWallpaperService.

A fix was posted at https://github.com/markfguerra/GLWallpaperService/commit/936d05b

Perhaps this fix is not incorporated in your image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skiptomylou11:
Trying the ROM since the morning and it has been pretty smooth.

Couple of questions, though. Does xloud beats incorporate with the music player or is there a way to see if it's running? I can't honestly tell any difference in the sound.

Also, last time I had this ROM BLN control worked well, but now it says it isn't compatible. Has anyone gotten it to work?

Thanks.

wifi tethering issues

wifi works for a while then disconnects. if i keep trying to reconnect it after a while my connection on my phone goes to edge. like wtf

i have old sim card that came with my mytouch 4g. but tethering used to work perfect on my sensation.

anyone else having disconnects while tethering after about 5min of use.

i have tried app tethering with barnacle (says no su settings), portable hotspot in setting, and Google wifi app. all same result with slicks and juggs so I know its not the rom. Maybe its Tmobile stopping us from tethering...

any ideas. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
A full wipe from 1.3 to 1.4 is usually the best bet. Also, try using the lagfree governor.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
I am pretty sure that has to do with the included Synergy kernel....just to test it out, try flashing a different kernel and see if that fixes it....if not you can always flash Synergy kernel back on top and then look to init.d scripts.

Hey Rob,

I noticed while using the ICS theme you provided in the OP (or second post), that the icon when the GPS is trying to get a fix is borked. It flashes between the gps icon and some sort of charging icon that is at the wrong DPI.

Anyways, just thought I would let you know. Still loving your rom, currently running it with faux's latest .10u kernel. Also using Gideon's script to clock it at 1.5 max and 384 min on demand with -75 undervolt across the board.

Loving Foxstar so far, thank you for a great rom! Not sure if this thread is the best spot for feature requests, sorry if not. I wondered if you might incorporate the option to kill the active app on long press of the back button, and perhaps an option to disable the silly notification when the device is fully charged? I see swipe to dismiss notifications is already planned! Awesome! Those three things would make this rom just about perfect as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for all your effort!

Whats the big change.between 1.3(latest) and 1.4???

Please help

:-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] reocej:
I think 1.3 was Skyrocket based where as 1.4 is based on Tmo firmware. From my experience it seems that the Skyrocket based roms offer slightly better performance at the cost of the loss of some Tmobile specific features such as wifi calling.

I didn't read through all 30 some pages, so sorry if this is answered. I have it almost the way I want it. I'm missing AccuWeather, and Media Hub. I see the "Bloater" app, and when I run it I get the "T-Mobile SGS2" category, but when I click on it, it looks like it is thinking (get a spinning circle), but then it stops and nothing else happens. How does it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigimac78:
Congrats on the accomplishment here! I have to agree with the some others that 1.3 was a better running version. Also you should talk with some themerz and get some love on your rom I seriously hate stock GB look. Coming from CM9 I was spoiled for awhile. **** even a new theme on the dial-er would be cool. Or Im just going to throw this out there a Viper theme :)..That would be bad ass. Anyways your doing a great job and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this. I know your busy so I hope the theme deal didnt irritate you. Im normally quiet about requesting things but Ive been trying other ROMs here lately and none have stacked up to 1.3 as far as performance on MY phone. Only thing holding it back IMO is the stock look.

I just installed this rom this morning. Here is a list of features and small fixes that would be great for next update. Here is what I can think of: how about a no wallpaper choose like on cm7, no sound on shutting down-like I read from another post who wants to hear a jingle when they need to shut down their phone, Show the correct kernel in about phone, get rid of software update in settings. Hope you agree that these will improve your rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MatrimCauthon:
Best choose, it has synergy kernel so battery life will be great, just installed

They are not big deals. They do improve the rom though. I also noticed after flashing there are foxstar adons-wired and wireless tether apps. Does the built in apps in wireless settings work? if not why?

What makes this the rom to go with? the dev seems really dedicated to improving and uses clockworkmod, the only dev so far ive seen that uses them.

I think it all depends on your situation. If it wasn't for Wifi Calling I would no longer be on T-mobile's network.

We just moved our business into a huge office building and I am on the main floor. People with Verizon have full bars, whereas I have one and sometimes none at all. A lot of times my phone wouldn't dial, and people told me that when that my phone always would go straight to voice mail. I miss calls all the time and have voice mails appear when I would walk outside to leave for lunch. I was ready to switch carriers then I tried Wifi Calling and it is awesome. I am about 30 feet from our Router and my phone works flawless with Wifi Calling and never miss a call and I have perfect clear reception all the time.

I think it all depends on where you are at and what coverage you have. My phone is useless without Wifi calling in my office.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
Few things:

The stock UCLA3 is not a custom ROM persay.. It's just stock framework made to work with our phones.. It is the base from which things will be built.

Also, please read the op for information as to why this rom might be for you. It's fast, it's not overthemed , and battery lifevis pretty awesome.

I've always been OCD with my battery, but I'm only 6 hours in after a clean install of your att stock build, and have 20% left. So my question is, how bad is it for calibration if I give it a 20-30% boost to flash this rom? The only reason I'm concerned is because I haven't obviously calibrated it since flashing this morning. So am I just being paranoid, or should I wait?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Definitely being paranoid. Google publicly stated that batteries no longer need calibration. Could be that you have a new rom and are playing with it constantly :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Google said that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything but clear the log, but the battery definitely needs to be calibrated still.
