I think the problem with my batt life is the autosync...I need auto sync for emails. =( It drains pretty bad...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazygreen:
Oh most definitely, auto sync is a battery sucker.

I have auto sync enabled on my Asus Transformer (original) and the battery life is exceptional, but that's due to the fact that there's no phone radio and 3g/hspa+ data being processed every second.

To some, 10 hours may not be spectacular, but I literally juiced my phone in terms of usage, went 10 straight hours using the device in all sorts of ways, and it survived. Every HTC phone I've had prior, barring the G2 which had a good battery, gave me half of that with less use. So I'm pretty content.

I also used to have exchange linked to my gmail account, thus enabling both an exchange and gmail email account - and I noticed that really drained by battery. I'm able to just go into the gmail app now and refresh every once in a while, which I don't mind doing considering the amount of battery it saves.

I'd also give an endorsement to Juice Defender, which has seriously upped my battery life without any tweaking around and letting the app do its thing.

Another thing would be to download System Tuner, go to system apps, and freeze Wifi Direct, Wifi sharing, and Wifi sharing manager. I've also noticed a difference in battery life after freezing them without any performance or system bugs. It hasn't affected anything negatively.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
Are you sure you are pushing that into system/app? Because if you are pushing that into data applications is not going to work. After you fix your permissions the permissions looks like this?

If not, just changing to look like those and then reboot.

Don't give these guys a hard time on the bugs on ICS now. because my tmobile source told me that the ICS tmobile update USA, wont be available till after the release of Galaxy SIII, and that wont be till the end of may. So my guess we wont se the update till August or September.

SO THANK YOU XDA DEVELOPERS. Keep up the hard work. Like i said, donations will come this Friday when i get paid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazygreen:
If true about the official update, that's a shame, considering the Amaze just got a leaked official ICS update, which can be installed without root since it's official. Also, I don't mind really, these roms get more and more stable as they're updated, and are perfectly fine as a daily driver. It isn't like stock GB with TW didn't have it's own fair share of issues.

I too have had this issue. It's incredibly too hot when talking on the phone for more than a minute. I literally start sweating on my cheek and ear due to it. Had to re-flash, still had the issue. I had the rom on for about 4 days to really give it a try but really could not get past the heat. Las Vegas is hot enough, don't need the phone adding to it.

Any suggestions?

Follow the instructions in the original post for flashing this ROM.

And w.r.t to Titanium Backup, I've had a few issues when restoring system apps. Try restoring only apps+data first.

There are some menus where the background is a very dark gray and the text is black, so it's really difficult to see said text. It's honestly very minor IMO.

Otherwise, this rom works really well.

So, I had a galaxy nexus and asurion would only give me the sgh-t989 so this is my new phone. It did not come with an sd card so when I originally set it up all the files that would have been put on the sd card are on my phone. Now I put a sd card in and have all the files from the phone it came out of. Is there an easy way to completely set up this phone new and properly? I am rooted and running this ICS perfection now and it seems nice, but I want it running like it should and when I mount my phone I dont like getting 2 different drives that show up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
You will always see two drives when mounted if you have an SD card in. There are actually three total "drives". Internal memory (you won't see when mounted), internal SD card, and external SD card. The internal and external ones are what you see and can use. The best way is to remove the SD card, factory reset, put the SD card back in, and then set up the phone. At least that was the best way for me.

Network Issues

When I flashed this ROM, I lost connectivity to my local TMO tower. I can drive to the next town over, and it works fine. I can use my SIM in another phone and it works fine. If I flash a new modem, it doesn't fix it. It only occurred after flashing ICS with racing's kernel.

We have EDGE in my town, But the next town over does as well.

Not new to flashing the SGS2, or the process for ICS (Been on Android and using custom Roms since the G1...). I did factory reset, cache clear, dalvik cache, Superwipe, Kernel Cleanser and the like.

Even my Nandroid restore of stock (after properly wiping, of course) didn't fix it.

Ideas?

ODIN back to stock did not fix it... HMMMM....

I flashed three different ICS ROMs last night and this is my favorite! The dialer and in-call dialer is awesome! Some apps hate ICS, including Accuweather. It would lock up my phone and give me fits.

I uninstalled the ATT Hotspot running app and forgot the WIFI location of att hotspot (keeps coming back if you dont kill the app/process). Went through all settings and put them where I wanted, including location services, which was off by default and some apps could not locate.

I love how the screen is brighter in AUTO mode. This is fantastic for me. I always set the brightness higher and turn off auto, then have to play with it when going outdoors. Now, I can just leave it on auto. I always wanted a dev to turn up the minimum brightness on AUTO on ROMS.

All around my favorite ROM. We all need to be patient because some apps are not compatible with ICS. Black Market is off the hook. Long press on homescreen is nice and found other ICS ROMs don't support it. Great ROM.

Hi, I flashed this ROM for my gf last night. Everything works perfectly!

The only minor issue I'm noticing is that some text is difficult to see because it's black on black. Is there a way to change the system font color?

Here is a screen shot of what I mean. It happens with other things to. Like when asked for superuser permission for example, where it says "Ok" or "Cancel" it is nearly impossible to read because the font color is so close to the background color.

Gallery v1.1 (from Android Froyo) is in this ROM instead of the ICS 4.0 (Gallery2.apk) version. You guys can flash gapps-429 to get the ICS gallery back, or like the OP's instructions for adding ICS calendar, replace Gallery3D with Gallery2 in system/app in the zip of this ROM.

So far this ROM is running great, the UCLD2 base has seemed to fix a kinetic scrolling problem I was having in the UCALC4 version, where scrolling through certain lists and selections would be jerky. Or maybe I had a bad flash that time. Oh well, things are way better in this base anyways. Definitely DD material.
