that is kernel related. From what I understand, we don't have any open source for the ics kernel for t-mobile ICS so there aren't any temp fixes but disabling it.

If anyone was to compile their own kernel.. it's gonna take weeks probably so don't hold your breath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Thank you Teo032, that was a very clear response.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
don't know, that's on your end. Check that you didn't deny instead of accept uh approve? don't remember what term was used.

I would just wipe everything and install again to make life easier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juone95:
this is getting quite annoying T^T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
I'm with Teo032, sounds like its just the flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juone95:
reflashed same issue :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Did you use M&S full wipe zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juone95:
i'll try that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
I had this problem also to change the wallpaper go into system settings - Developer Options and uncheck Force GPU Rendering.

Then change your wallpaper. Once you have it changed go back in and recheck Force GPU Rendering.

Camera bug - When you start the camera it thinks your holding the phone horizontal. The control will all turn thinking it is horizontal.

If you turn the phone horizontal it then thinks the phone is in landscape. Not sure how to fix it but the camera still works. you just have to rotate the pic later in the gallery.

18.4009
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
it will be fixed once auto rotation is fixed for t-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
LOL....so I tuned off 2D GPU, and then went to the home screen and pressed menu > wallpapers > gallery > selected image: "Image did not change on my home screen and for some reason it is creating duplicates in my gallery of that image"

Update: I have now tried doing it a few different ways and it still keeps going to the gallery image and asking for "save" or "cancel" when I try to set it as a wallpaper

Another Update: So I reboot the phone and it worked this time, but still does not give me the option to set widescreen wallpapers. All well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
Another bug that I honestly could care less about but figured I would note it so you were aware of it.

If you try to install an app from the online web browser based play store to your phone it will crash the play store on your phone and not install the app.

Totally not a big deal since the play store works excellent from my handset.

18.4009
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
lol....it started happening again....so weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
I have the same problem. Not a deal breaker for me. I am using this now as my DD and loving it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
I figured it out!!! When you first select a image in your gallery and set it to your home screen it creates a NEW image that is sized to your home screen. Once you have that new image in your gallery you have to go back in and set it again to make it work. So weird...wonder if this is normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
can you guys check if tethering works smoothly without using a 3rd party app. I can't check it out right now... on the phone....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
Not working for me. USB or wifi tether is a no go.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

Hey synergeticink I found something that seems to work better for the Gallery and also setting the back grounds.

Try out Just pictures on the market. It works way better then the 3D Gallery but the nice thing is it will also use Picasa.

As for setting backgrounds it will set a wide background properly. so it scrolls the way it was intended.

18.4009
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
just to see that we're on the same boat, but does the toggle for the wifi tether not FLIP at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
yeah it flips for a split second then bounces back to off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juone95:
Does anyone know how to fix the android.process.acore has stopped bug? O_O;;
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
uhh haven't heard that one...

did you use TDJ's superwipe? flash the ROM, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and fix permissions? then let it boot for 10 mins, then restart?

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

holy crap!

so well I removed a lot of ****, and customized a lot of things with the apex launcher. finally decided to reboot with the quick reboot app or whatever...

gives me black screen... not bricked though. but does not boot up anymore. shows samsung logo and that's it. So i tried to hard reset, go into cwm and see if it wiping caches and fixing permission will fix anything.

Nope, hard reset again, my phone's flash went off! lol WTF RIGHT?

well im reinstalling the rom without wiping data.. looks like no go.. time to wipe everything.. sighh I just setted up all nice too! ughh. And yeah I was trying to nandroid it hence the reboot. sadness.

edit: fixed it by.. not really sure. I kept on fiddling with the hard reset, Over and over and it finally loaded. hard reset (volume buttons + power... never let go.. rose..)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] photrash:
USB and wifi tethering works fine after fiddling with "ultracfg" in the app drawer to tethering always on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
you're right! I was fiddling with it too, took me awhile and it works:

What I did:

When you open ultracfg>click tethering always on> reboot

you'll lose service or something

went back to Ultracfg > click tethering always off > reboot

service is back hmmmm

click tethering always on reboot, service missing again

rebooted into recovery

wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permission

reboot, tethering works. Awesome

I'm assuming you should just do this

1. open Ultracfg

2. click tethering always on

3. reboot into recovery>wipe caches and fix permission

4. reboot

5. Success?

if not then reboot normally, let yourself lose service, then go into recovery and perform the tasks.

if that doesn't even work, do what I did, turn it on, turn it off, turn it back on, recovery.

here's your first thanks! lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hi5rich:
Tethering

I was wonder what that was for but now i know thanks will try now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sighx:
So going along with download speed.. what's the avg speed everyone's getting??? I'm only getting 3MPBS max.. normally 10+ =x

EDIT:: After more testing this morning........ it went up to 8 haha but still not up to normal standards but better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
can you provide feedback if it worked by simply wiping and fixing permissions after the initial tethering is always on?

seems normal to me. getting my 13-15.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] piecemakr9:
anyone know how to reboot? keep messing up when i do. black screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dachinaman:
My phone reboots fine from toggle options
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dachinaman:
By the way great work. Phone lags bad in when trying to leave Dailer and FC if you push VM button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
try using the quick boot app

you're right, it is rebooting and powering off normally, weird. It wasn't before and many others were having problems with it

Just noticed that I lost my service. after the reboot with the power button. gonna see if i can fix it.

edit: wiping caches and fixing permission fixed that problem for me. I can now reboot fine with the power button without losing signal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
the kernel is 3.0.8, chrome does work.

edit: what screenshot are you looking at....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I did notice that the Superuser allow and deny buttons are reversed in ics. It could be an easy mistake to deny without realizing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] beatd:
I'm still not able to reboot even though i use quick boot app from the market. also my SU is still not working thus making TB not work either. I just wiped the cache and wipe delvik and now it's saying upgrading android. Am i doing it right?

Edit: Updated SU!!

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

No, kernel 2.x.x is for Gingerbread Roms.

Ice Cream Sandwich is based on Kernel 3.x.x

As far as I know,a 2.x.x kernel simply wont work on ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldfingerfif:
Either my post somehow went to the wrong thread or I was smoking Crack again. I looked at the OP and noticed I am way off, sorry.

I noticed this as well. Makes me curious and scared. I wonder if flashing a TMobile radio would fix it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
I wouldnt recommend that just yet, no biggie though I still get service, but i did activate all the WCDMA bands I am now getting HSPAP:15 vs UMTS:3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Actually, it's easier than that. Hard reset on our phones, just hold the power button down, for about 10 seconds, it'll vibrate, then vibrate again and boot. No need to touch the volume buttons on a crash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
Didn't see this asked yet, Is the search button supposed to be functional as it was on GB? When I click it it is opening a compose text message page. Is there a way to reset this functionality?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
vol down + power button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
thanks, I was trying both, but that black screen didn't do much, so I couldn't tell. While holding the volume button, my screen seem to flicker so I thought that was doing the trick lol

UPDATE 3-28-12 5:24 p.m. est

For those of you who keep sending me PM's asking to test...

Go to the thread in the Development forum and download it. The Thread was closed but links are still active.

UPDATE #2 3-28-12

I won't be able to work on this for a few days.

Bricked my phone working on a different kernel and modem.

Will send it out for jtag repair and have it back sometime next week hopefully...

Guess I will jump back to the sgs4g forum and work there for a few days.. Have that phone with unbrickable mod...

If anyone knows if unbrickable mod is available for this phone let me know.

I Have no problem tearing it apart and performing the mod.

Thanks

Wow that sucks, sorry to hear about the brick. Hope you get it back soon.

We cant depend on T-Mobile for ICS... Your our only hope ;)

So ROM is working great for me but I want to restore GB for some reason I cant boot into recovery. I tried from Rom manager, holding volume buttons plus power, terminal emulator, and Adb I'm stuck and just want get off this rom anyone have an idea what to do?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I'm glad to see people following the rules!! Props to everyone :) Looks like we got a system going here lol. So here goes my first question... I've noticed wifi calling is not supported (probably because its not a Samsung official release) so was wondering if its possible in the future.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Z51:
I did a super wipe, then installed it/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Can't really say for sure because you need to give the battery a few charge cycles before settling in.

But it lasted me 9hrs with 2 2/3hrs screen time on 4g on the first day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusf21:
Probably not. This is based on AT&T. Our devs might be able to do it but I'm sure it would be at the bottom of a very long to do list. I think your best shot would be a T-Mobile release.

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

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] amorek13:
this is a att rom, att has no wifi calling, i am sure if we get the tmo rom it will be included
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
Thats probably what would be holding them back as that is almost expected with their customer base. It does hold things back a little. Hopefully this new system of their for implementing wifi calling is all set up for ics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
i just saw that racing posted an updated version with working shut down/reboot...does that mean that auto rotation is the only universal issue (meaning that EVERYONE has this bug)?

i am not talking about certain people not having a home button or whatever issues that seem to only pertain to a select few...im inquiring about UNIVERSALLY known issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeb85:
I would imagine it all depends if or when tmo releases ics for us.

Mirror Mirror

Here's a link to the SU and the ROM:

http://www.paulstrength.com/ICS-T989/

("save link as" if you have issues downloading a ZIP)

Edit: Updated with the newer port version, says it has the power button issues resolved.

Making it as easy as I can, no logins, etc.

Works great for me. I let it sit, without hitting "cancel" or touching it for 20 minutes. Power down works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
Even though T-Mobile would never do this at this point, I think they would get huge props to just release to the Dev community what they have so the community can start working on it.

I wouldn't be shocked if this type of practice happens in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatboy547:

Anyone else experiencing horrendous battery life? Maybe I'm just not used to the stock Kernel? Usually I will have over about 80% battery when I leave work with light usage and yesterday and today seems like it drains like a junkies syringe. I had only like 40% after about 10hours and would guess I used it less than average.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
flash it whenever you like.

Yeah i barely used my phone today also, and my battery life is down. It probably is about half the battery life compared to the custom GB roms. Gonna go back to blu ray soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drzplaya1121:
while i had it running on my phone everything was working including the shutdown option. I didn't try the reboot option so i can't speak on that sorry guys

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
i have subpar battery life as well. but it might improve after a day or two. i've still only charged it once...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldfingerfif:
Thanks for the confirmation everyone. I've tried everything settings wise to get it to last longer but it hardly makes a difference. I tried turning both cores down to 1GHz and it helped a little bit, wish I could undervolt though... I noticed it seems like the governor settings are possibly not optimized as the CPU jumps up high and rather quickly over little usage. I might compare some of the governor thresholds to that of a GB rom with great battery life.

Only suggestion I have is making the kernel allow custom bootanimations. Other than that, no bugs to report that aren't already known, except that I cannot figure out how to make a wallpaper work as a scrollable wallpaper correctly.

Yeah the search button is normal for me as well. For those of you with gallery issues. Get the aosp gallery and put it in system apps. As for the force close on wallpaper delete the twwallpaper Chooser. If you use the gallery from the aosp build it won't force close when choosing a wallpaper. Plus it looks better and isn't tilted to the right due to the rotation issues.

psst, since not many of us are on anyways, Raver made his own tw port.

It is basically the same ICS port

BUT GOODIES

DEBLOATED

NO TW

ADW LAUNCHER (you can install any of the ics launchers if you want)

ics colored theme (including the notification 16 toggles)

bads

still have problems with tether posted fix in this thread and in raver's

gallery bug, turn off force gpu or use another gallery

autorotation borked

power button works home and search button works

haven't lost data yet like i have on racing's first build

So i suggest anything discussed about racings build applies to his build also.

BTW the ICS color theme looks sick with apex because all the colors match now lol

edit: facebook app works completely fine in there without the stupid glitch of no being able to tap the notification.
