Tuesday works flawless with the car dock along with digital warfare. Pretty much any rom that was based off stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
yeah dont use jd.. its lame anyways.

if you do lose your apn because of trying to make a call with gps deactivated on boot, just activate it and reboot... the network automatically restores your apn

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwalker0906:
There is no reason to turn GPS off. It is only the option to use it which is different from using it. Unless your GPS is activated by you or a app having the option to use it on does not consume battery. I always keep it on and always have great battery life and am a heavy user
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
Correct that gps doesn't consume battery, but suppose I don't want every single everything on my phone to know exactly where I am all the time. Sure most apps you can turn location off, but some won't let you, and overall it's just easier to shut gps off so as not to feel slightly creeped out by my phone always telling websites exactly where I am.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] damngood98:
Been using it on the low setting, keep my GPS on, battery is great so far & I've yet to have any call audio problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwalker0906:
You can still turn it off just make sure its on when you reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
I know that but I was just saying that there are reasons to shut it off

Has anyone got GBAoid to work with this rom? I need my Pokemon fix :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phordych05:
lol...this might sound silly...i'm a little noob_ish still but what kernel do you need to run this ROM...?...thanks in advance... ;-)

edit: i thought everyone was saying there is no such thing as a cm7 for our phone...we have to wait and we're gonna get cm9...?..does anybody know the truth on this rumor i hear...?thanks again in advance... ;-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Well what you see is what we got. Tweaked 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 Samsung roms no one has gotten anything else to work.

This device is very limited because it is not like other galaxies .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
Til Samsung decides to take off the damn leash of course..

All things considered, I'm really excited for what this device can do :)

Anyone have a good link for slayers build? Wanna try it, just for fun.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] negativefx:
Rotating phone while in gallery hangs/FCs.

Mute button in phone does nothing. Other side can still hear everything.

A few games don't work at all. Dead Space for example. It appears to have problems switching to landscape. Some hang as soon as an in-game ad loads. Ran into this on angry birds space free and draw something free.

Brightness settings are problematic if "Dim" is used. Might be related to changing the default value for Dim.

If you put an app on a home screen and an update contains a new icon, the existing icon cannot be deleted. I had to create a new homescreen, move my icons, and lastly delete the old screen when market updated to google play.

Google Music has big problems with streaming over wifi.

Search key in gmail goes to android search rather than gmail search. I didn't notice this happening on my evo 4g on CM 7.2 nightlies or 7.1.

Typing a search into the browser address bar while in Incognito mode will result in the search term showing up in all search history boxes.

If you plug in the phone, set an alarm, and leave the phone in the clock app overnight, it will force close hours later. The alarm will go not off at the scheduled time. I unintentionally reproduced this multiple times.

The keyboard has problems if you change the default long press delay. I use 250ms. Sometimes when long pressing top row for a number, the display will change, at the appropriate 250ms in my case, indicating you are selecting a number, but if you let go too soon, it will not enter the number into the field. It seems to only enter the number if you hold it for the default 400ms. It doesn't appear to behave this way all the time, but certain text fields or sometimes sms text entry will exhibit the problem.

Video chat in Google Talk has display problems sometimes. Other side appears to see incoming stream OK. Tested w/ two t989s. Not once did both demonstrate the problem on the same call, but both phones had the issue intermittently.

Provided you read this far in, what particular build of CM7 are you using? A 7.2 RC I hope?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
Keep up the great work we've been all waiting for this rom forever extra few days to get the bugs out wont hurt any1 lol thanx Eugene

If wifi is on when you reboot, call audio is guaranteed to be broken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] damngood98:
so what is the correct way to keep from losing audio? i've always been confused on this.....wifi off w/gps on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Thats exactly right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
that has been fixed as well..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] retrotim:
Damn, seems that everything that was keeping me from using Slayher build is fixed now. Awesome, CM7 here I come. Now I just have to wait for an upload... thanks Eugene.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
Is the unlock bubble ring fixed?

Not yet, hoping to have that fixed by tonight

This leaves me Puzzled?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Robca79:
How much more is left to do? Sorry, kinda excited to be rocking cm7 again :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
Looks like I finally created a useful thread.

Now lets not start asking for era's and stuff. Eugene, take ur time. Im am just as excited as everyone else, but there is no need to rush to post your build. We know that when it is ready, u will post it.

Thank you again for all your hard work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
Took this at 1%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] damngood98:
Use the kernel that already in it, Eugene has it working pretty well. A far as cm9, likely won't happen until after the official update. In the meantime his cm7 is running great for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Does anyone know how to adjust the vibration duration/pattern for incoming calls? I've looked high and low but I can't seem to find that setting. I mean what's the point of having a vibration level that is louder than your ringtone right :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
Disregard!

I think the only thing you can change is the vibration strength.

And the rest i think you can get from an app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
That would be great! How do I change the strength?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eclipseblur954:
cm7 vs ics ucld2?

What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
i think aosp is uncomparable to touchwiz. this rom boots insanely fast and is smoother than snoop dog. there is no lag when flipping thru a long call log, no bloated menues, no stupid looking ugly icons, and its incredibly user friendly.

the ics touchwiz roms are the same as the gingerbread roms except for a few new features... but they still feature the same bloated interface, menues and framework.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
I just flashed this rom and I think its better than any ics builds so far. Way better.

Thanks, I just flashed the latest ics leak and it's not bad but I'll flash cm7 tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droid75:
Honestly, until a proper T-Mobile ICS rom is released (non touchwiz), IMO there is no comparison. This rom is great. Everything works, it's super smooth, stable, data speeds are awesome, battery life is great, with the ICS theme I'm running it's actually nicer looking than ICS. Right now, this destroys every ICS rom out there IMO, and I've tried them all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
:eek::eek::eek: GPS BUG IS NOW FIXED :eek::eek::eek:

You can now Disable both without losing Audio!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dukeoflove:
Hi Eugenes, Can you make the screen brightness level dimmer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d12d:
I have been trying to determine the reason for my poor battery life and haven't found any one reason. I do know my phone isn't going into a deep sleep and is going to 192 MHz. The other thing I have noticed and haven't seen mentioned is sometimes I will have a 4G symbol while other times its H. I understand why its one or the other but not sure why I am seeing both. I don't know if there are a few symbols that didn't get updated(and that's fine if that's the case) or if it is something specific to my phone.

I am coming from a clean install and everything else runs smooth with no other issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dukeoflove:
Use darkside superwipe and flash the rom again, i experienced the same problem and that method did the trick for me. I think the reason you see 4g and H symbols because your data fluctuates sometimes depend on where you at, and H symbol stands for 4g speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I had this problem last night, my phone wouldn't go to sleep. I reflashed the ROM and the problem fixed itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
This is awesome. Easily the best Rom out now. I'll definitely rock this until T-Mob releases ICS officially. To those who have to reflash or consider it my method to flash has been...

Superwipe (Sometimes twice)

Factory wipe

Clear cache 2/3 times

Clear Dalvik 2/3 times

FLASH

Fix Permissions

I've flashed countless times and never had "sleep" or such issues with this method.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d12d:
Thanks, I've tried reflashing the ROM as well as clearing Davlik and cache and still have the issue. Once the new update comes out I will see if it works for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Christ1119:
Eugene man you're a machine. Great work it was stable enough as it was before but now it's like some sorta super stable ROM or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tinawu:
is there a fix for fc when trying to join contacts? a couple other people have mentioned it in this thread, and i searched forums but the only solutions are g+ related, but it happens even before i install g+ or any other apps. any insight would be appreciated, ty!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
if I knew what join contacts was I'd try to fix the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Okay like if you pick a contact and press the menu button edit and youll see join and you can join another contact with it but we getting a fc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
oh okay :D

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll look into it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tinawu:
thank you! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
going to post the update in the morning so I can figure out if battery life is still on par :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TONY206:
Battery life is far improved in R2. R1 drained at 5%+ per hour. I hope it's just as good in R3.

Besides the bugs you said you fixed I only experience a fc in dsp manager with a preset equalizer as others have stated.

Thank you for the awesome ROM. A few drinks coming your way soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
I think battery is fine.. it took 1hr 21m to drop 1%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
I flashed 2 rom's today...first a new leak of ics, then this. I can't believe how awesome battery life is on this r2 release! Crazy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
mawr. compiled your kernel today! haven't flashed it yet as I'm scared I messed up somewhere lol :P .. though before I flash I wanna try and figure out how to edit that lowest brightness setting to 5 or 1 or something.. just don't know what .c file to edit T_+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coldcontrol:
bluetooth music

Firstly, Eugene, you're the man. Happily using the R2 as a daily driver and couldn't be more pleased with battery life + stability.

Secondly, just a heads up on a potential bug I'm experiencing related to bluetooth controlled music. When trying to forward tracks via bluetooth controls (car controls that do work on CM7.2 and on Samsung stock), the device seems to want to pause after every track change. So no continuous music playing -- "play" has to be hit on the bluetooth controls every time.

Again, love the ROM, just thought I'd mention this and see if it was just me or widespread.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rUsTyRuSs:
I think he means joining Facebook contacts with google contacts (acore force closed). You mentioned before it may be from the t9 dialer. Can you point me in the direction to get the regular dialer good sir?

Thank you in advance,

If i flash Da_G cm7 kernel will if break anything besides the rotation on R2&R3?

let me know how that goes!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android1385:
i love this.

ok so i fully charged my phone over night and disconnected it at exactly 6:55 AM Pacific Time. at work i used my SGS2 running CM7 i used it to the limit. i used Google maps to find my routs, text, made phone calls, read articles, played Temple run, line runner, used shazam, listen to some podcast on my phone, and of course my Facebook is logged in and let me tell you that it is 10:40 PM Pacific Time and my phone is still @ 35% in battery. i Think this Rom is the best out there for this phone. Thank You Thank You so much Eugene and those that help him discover Bugs. i really havent experienced any Bugs but i know they are out there as long as my battery last me through work im a happy man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
Update is a Coming...

I was Holding off to make sure Battery was still Good, but turns out to be even better than before + CPU1 truely Goes Offline now... Likely why it's sleeping even better!

8h 5m 32s Sleep & Used 2% on my CM7 T989 Rom... Sweet!!

tried to see if /drivers/backlight had anything but deciphering code is harder than I thought ): .. Doing more research and according to this: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1576356) it could be something in services.jar I'll keep looking x\

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killadude:
Use screen filter from the market, no need to edit any framework files :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
Not a big fan .. the overlay effect is different compared to actually having a lower brightness setting.

I tried Lux Auto Brightness but it suffers the same issue as the stock CM7 auto brightness management where when the screen is brought back on it defaults the brightness to default which I'm not sure anymore if it's 20 or 32 or 31 :|

Just recap:

Setting/wireless/4G is now Removed .... Wimax & Fc anyways

DPS fixed, but with less controls

GPS bug fixed " no audio issue "

Data enabled bug fixed " no audio issue "

in-call Mute is now working

Render Effect working now, but lags really bad..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
When you say GPS bug fixed, does that mean it no longer has to be left on during reboot without fear of losing audio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eugene373:
GPS or Deata Enabled Bug is fixed! No Audio issue now.

Both can be turned off & still have audio on reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
That's awesome! You are the man! This was the only thing keeping me from trying this ROM as I was afraid I might get a reboot while the GPS was off and lose audio.
