for the most part everything on this build is functioning for me. the autorotation is obviously not, but i really don't give two testies abot that :P i did notice i had to manually enter the path for my MyBackup Pro saves (never had to do that before) but not really a big deal. FB worked just dandy and actually I think its working better onthis build than the stock rom. go figure...

I installed this on my White S2 first to test out any problems with camera or apps i use heavily and saw that everything works. Running as daily now on my Black S2.

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 AM ----------

actually the only thing i do see is the phone seems to like battery juice a bit more than before..not sure if this is kernel related or what not but just thought I'd mention to see if anyone else has noticed.

Are you guys having trouble trying to get rid off bloat? for example i can't uninstall apps like att ready2go, books, nfs shift, social hub, and visual vm. I'm using Titanium Backup to uninstall and it says it's completed but still stays on. I also have a hard time running Titanium backup it keeps saying "building exact app size info" for like 30 mins and nothing happens so i keep restarting it. do you guys have that issue too??

After a few days of use, I must say that this project has a LOT of potential and I wish the best of luck to Racing19969 as well as everyone who has been helping him thus far.

The battery life isn't quite enough for me, though. There's been a couple of times that my phone has died simply because it hadn't been charged during the day, (i'm very much on the move, so I can't really plug it in and not worry about it during the day.)

Can't wait to see what's in store once JTAG gets around to returning the device. Till then!

I do not like the stock SWYPE. I went in immediately after flashing the ROM, while deleting the bloat, and deleted the swype keyboard. Then downloaded the swype beta and it has worked flawlessly.

Also, anyone know if it is safe to just flash the current build over the original? i will be a guinea pig if no one has tried yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I wanted to share how I flashed which worked perfectly.

Flashed:

[1] Made TB of all apps

[2] Rebooted in CWR

[3] Nandroid backup

[4] Wipe Data Factory reset

[5] Wipe Dalvik Cache

[6] Flashed samsung_ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_by_lippol94

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166954

[7] Flashed DarkSide Super Wipe

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477955

[8] Flashed Rom

[9] Reboot Phone

[10] Let sit about 10 minutes after reboot was fully done

[11] Rebooted again so data started to work (takes second reboot)

[12] Once 2nd reboot was done I gave it another 5 mintues before I messed with it.

Bugs or non-bugs:

[1] Camera worked perfect

[2] Google play worked perfect, downloaded on data and wifi and had no issues.

[3] Skype went crazy. I installed new beta but after it auto updated with the dragon add-on it went postal, caused messaging to stop functioning and ultimately I just started over with flashing

[4] Superuser had and gave root access to all apps, I did not have to reflash. On initial setup i just opened su, went to preference, su binary and clicked update anyways making sure I clicked "allow".

[5] I was able to change wallpaper from gallery on screen and lockscreen with no issues as reported by others.

[6] I did have echo from caller point of view, wife helped, speaker on had no issues. I was not able to try the fix as posted above.

[7] tethering worked perfect

[8] I had no delay on dialer or phonebook

[9] Apex launcher worked awesome

[10] I had no issues removing att crap with TB, it uninstalled fine

Hope that helps some. My install steps are very excessive but I have done those steps on all roms and never had any issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Racing19969:
+1 on Xperties advice... When I first created the rom and flashed it I had alot of the issues people are having...

I then Wiped then double wiped then Darkside wiped and cleared dalvik and that made a huge difference. I think most of the issues that are coming up are because people are not wiping the phone good enough. Follow the above instructions and people will have a better experience.

Also the new link in the Dev section contains an updated zip with alot of the Bloat removed.

I was able to do this before I bricked my phone... Once I get it back I will be able to work on this some more...​

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Same, everything works except Camara, it rotates and takes pictures just not the right way.

Took a couple soft resets to get it to fully boot (volume down + power).

But one it did it was fine.

This was my process: backup of course, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache, format system then super wipe, flash rom, wiped cache, dalvik cache,

fix permissions and reboot. I also removed lots of bloat from the zip before hand as well as added apex to the zip before flashing. I believe lots of issues are from not wiping properly do it a couple times wont hurt before you flash.

I thought i would share my experience and will report bugs if i find any.

Does reboot work for you?? I'm getting a hang. Also WiFi isn't connecting <.<
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Based off my steps yes reboot worked HOWEVER reboot is slow. It seems as if it starts to shut down each service (wifi, gps, data etc etc). I rebooted using "hold power button" for the pop up menu. Rebooted 5-6 times. Each time took about 8-13 seconds to fully shut down.

Wifi worked perfect, never had any issues.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
is that samsung kernel cleaning step neccessary?

the format system command in super wipe + format system command in edify/rom install script should wipe out those kernel files on its own shouldnt it?

i guess YMMV but i just did a data wipe (clears data and cache) and clear davlikcache in recovery and installed the rom and it works fine.

i've searched and have not seen this small bug but Temple Run is a bit borked. Tilting the phone left and right to move doesn't work. I"ve re-flashed and tried it again but it was still a no go. I know, I know, it's a small tiny bug but i was just wondering if anyone else has this problem with Temple Run? Other than auto rotation and camera issues, this is the only other bug i've found.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
heh, yep, damn shame too. as soon as temple run came out ICS had to drop for us.

until the rotation/acceleromator issue gets fixed, games like Temple Run and Lane Splitter won't work right.

These are the only two things I have issues with. All else is perfect. I called myself and left a message. I could understand it well, but it did have a bit of echo. I can't get tethering to work. I press the on/off button in wi-fi settings, and all I get is a pop up saying it will use a lot of data, and asks if I want to continue, but then the button goes back to off. How are you using yours?

The only thing I see that needs to be done is if the boot up AT&T is removed, and the notification bar icons could all be changed to ICS blue. Other than that it's awesome especially with Apex Launcher.

I finally just got it all set up the way I want thanks to everyone here, and so far since the last reboot and full charge with screen at 55% and used for a half hour, it dropped from 100% to 94% in the first hour. Not sure how it will last for more time with my normal use, but I was running Foxstar before this with the same basic usage after setting it up, and it would drop about 3% an hour.

Yes I ran into this as well. Only Titanium Backup PRO shows up when you search the play store, and really the "Pro" version is just the key to unlock.

UPDATE: 9 and 1/2 hours in. Screen on time 1 hour 40 minutes. 60% battery left. Not bad really. I usually can look at the battery stat and see "Awake" with a lot of blue, but with this ROM and the same settings, it's much less. I'm very happy so far.

Has anyone tried the modem file from the 2.3.6 update with wifi calling (or any other file for that matter)? I averaged 17-19mbs download speed with that one, this one is only averaging 6-9mbs. Plus i kinda liked my wifi calling. I was hesitant to just try it, if someone as godlike as racer could brick his phone, a simple amateur such as myself would probably cause it to explode haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
The modem is not what gives you WIFI calling, it is baked into the ROM from T-mobile. This ROM will never have WIFI calling because it is based off of AT&T. If you need WIFI calling, you will have to wait until T-mobile releases their version.

FYI... This ROM doesn't replace your modem. You are still using the same modem you had on Gingerbread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Using whatever this ROM has and getting great speeds. The ping seems high, but it's not affecting performance for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Oh, and an update on voice quality. I did some more testing placing calls, and now there is no more echo. Crystal clear. I don't know what worked itself out, but I'm so happy with this ROM right now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
I'm getting roughly the same battery life as you so far. Nothing to write home about, but not terrible.

I have a feeling most people experiencing heavy battery drain have been playing with ICS on their phones more than they realize ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
A bit of an update on echo. I have none, and don't know why, but after a few reboots, it seems to have disappeared all together. I kept doing some playing around, and even though the voice quality is very good, it seemed to get even better when I would talk with my finger covering the noise cancelling mic on top. I talked with both uncovered, it sounded good, I covered the top mic, and it got better, then uncovered it, and went back to normal. Maybe the top mic has something to do with the echo.

ps All that is left for me to be 100% happy is the want for all blue notification icons. If anyone knows how to change them that would be awesome. I use ROM Toolbox, and was able to change the battery icon to blue, but none of the other ones will change even though I replaced them too.

With the update, I couldn't, for the life of me, get the SU.zip flash to take hold on the ROM. It would always initially fail for me in CWM (status error 0), but would flash ok immediately within the session recovery session, but busybox never installed onto the ROM. I've tried to update to the latest version on 2 different occasions but to no avail. I'm currently running the initial release from racing because of this error, and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I've tried wiping caches, then flashing. I've tried flashing, the wiping caches. I've tried mounting system within cwm, but no results. Do I need to update my touch recovery? I'm currently running the modified 5.5.0.4

freezing

I've been trying to install this ROM using Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.6. for a while now and the problem that I keep running into, is that it installs, but after it boots and it loads the boot animation, it freezes, vibrates, and then shuts down and reboots. What are some possible causes of this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
I had the same problem, you need to wipe and reflash. Use Darkside Super Wipe, be sure to wipe dalvik cache, and you should be good to go. Once the att boot animation loads up be sure to let the rom settle in for 10 mins or so before you hit cancel at the att screen.

My 16 gb PNY class 2 card was getting too small so I decided it was time to upgrade. As far as I could tell the Vibrant doesn't actually support UHS cards, but since I'm only a couple months away I just got one anyway.

I tested the cards with CrystalDiskMark in two ways, via USB in the phone, and in my laptop with an older SD2.0 card reader. The only Android app I could find that did anything other than sequential reads was AndroBench, and I couldn't get it to point at the external card. I'm on ICS, not sure if that was complicating the issue. If anyone knows of an app that does random r/w operations, let me know.

Sorry for the PNY/AData confusion in the screenshots, the UHS-1 card is AData and the Class 2 card is PNY.

U can probably use Tasker and Bootlog Uptime. Set a profile with Tasker to automatically start tethering when Bootlog Uptime starts. So if the phone crushes, after reboot Bootlog Uptime starts automatically and triggers the task to open tethering. Did not try it out but it could work. Or maybe you can figure out other profile that hepls you, based on other contexts.

Flash the file in this thread with CWM.

If you don't have cwm or want to do it manually extract the libsurfaceflinger.so from the zip (its in the system/lib folder).

Using a root explorer, copy this file to system on your phone, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move this file to system/lib, replacing the original file when asked. It may be a good idea to copy the original file as a backup before trying any of this.
