[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] granduke:
Just flash the latest. It incorporates the all the previous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
This is incorrect. Flash the 3rd version then after you've went through all the steps and done all your reboots flash the 3.3 update on top, It's in the OP so don't ask question - follow the directions. There is also a 3.6 but it's in beta testing for those who follow his twitter account.

And to others, the OP is a good guy and very polite so I will be the one of bad news:

1. Stop telling people you don't have to use cwm touch! If you don't flash with touch and you have issues go to confession because you only caused the issues yourself. You HAVE TO USE cwm touch.

2. Read the dam thread. Constant questions being asked about the same thing over and over, speculations about echo, sdcard, rom being rooted and other silliness that has nothing to do with this rom. Spend time reading the entire thread, I mean it's only a $400 phone you are possible going to destroy so don't you owe it to yourself to actually read EVERY comment.

I'm not trying to be rude but this thread so far has some good info from members, don't trash it with nonsense please.

Super user shows both apps; ST(system tuner) and TB(titanium backup) super user status. ST completes fine and appears like the app is installed. TB just hangs at the installing pop-up window and never finishes... I can go to the system/app directory using root explorer and find the app just installed by ST. But its not actually installed and still has the com.Android....whatever name. If I try to install using root explorer it says install not complete... okay, so maybe that's a permission thing. But I can install just fine on another ICS UCLD2 ROM... plus doesn't TB and ST change the permissions for me to install a backup?... I just want to know if others can install the stock clock app for example backed up from another ROM?

In my quoted reply we were referring to a themed/apk from another rom to this one. So to answer your questions:

All email works, no problems at all.

How big is 3.3 download?

By going to the OP post and clicking the link which takes me to the download page it shows the 3.3 "update" as being Size: 18.84 MB (19756305 bytes). Remember 3.3 is a update, meanings follow the OPs flashing guidelines exactly. 3.3 update will be flashed on TOP of v3 of the actually rom.

Instagram workin now?

Instagram is a "APP ISSUE" not a ROM issue meaning instagram does not work on ANY ICS roms. They have to fix it, aka instagram.

What about hdml out to tv?

I do not know, sorry.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrischoi:
Just chiming in about the echoing issue. It's hardware related. Just like the bad batch of screens. Must have been an earlier release of the SGSII. I had one of the first one's and it had bad echoing, I got mine exchanged and it works great since!

I've seen a lot of people blame the cases, the roms or whatever. But I honestly think it's faulty hardware. The only fix is swap it out.

Download the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImFuZHJvaWQudGV0aGVyIl0.), go to Menu>Settings>Device Profile and change from Auto to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM). Mine immediately connected and now I can tether :D

As for the call echo I will NEVER FIX the echo problem. Why? Because I am a big stupid doo doo head? No…

BECAUSE I DO NOT experience it

I have asked everyone I call or who calls me and not one has heard it except that time I was in an echo chamber. I’ve given people my phone to friends while I’m with them call me while I use theirs and nothing.

I cannot fix or look into a problem I cannot reproduce or experience.

Unless a developer makes a fix for me to implement or include with my rom there is nothing I can do.

EVERYONE PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER ANYONE ABOUT THIS CALL ECHO PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED TOO MANY TIMES IN EVERY ICS LEAK THREAD.

THERE ARE THREADS DEDICATED TO IT.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
Did you try to run fix permission in cwm app?

Regarding the call echo and I will be as less techy as I can and this is based on dozens of threads I have read. It is a software issue and it can and NEVER will be fixed until the actually source for our phones are released. Remember folks any and ALL roms that are ICS for our phone have been ported from ATT roms which are setup for their phones. Their mic/earpiece/speaker are different locations and hardware driven so the software affect the person on the other end. This is why some people get no echo if they turn down the loudness.

So if you look at it from 2 different ways:

1. Hardware issue, exchange phone and maybe you might get a phone that has better hardware, newer etc etc or you might still have echo but remember folks these roms were NOT built with our phones in mind.

2. Software related, again these phones are not suppose to be running these roms. They are ported from a different phone. Once the actually source for our phones are released I can guarantee there will NOT be any echo and you can take that to the bank. But until then, seriously....Shut up. No rudeness implied, that is said with a smile.

So in layman's terms, we have a motor that works and we have a chassis that works but neither are at fault if they are not meant for one another. We can only install it and hope we don't blow the drive shaft. Hope that makes sense.

CALL ISSUE SUGGESTION:

After messing around with my phone at work bored, I have learned a few tricks to almost entirely removing the call issue with my sgs2 on this rom:

First off turning off the noise reduction does help but not that much...

What DOES seem to help a lot is *adjusting* the volume while in call. Note:: this only works if he volume is around 3/4 or lower. Above that level it seems to be ehoey as hell. But once the level is below 3/4 it will be echoey UNTIL the volume up or down is pushed.... weird...

Combining both the volume trick and turning noise reduction seems to remove about 90%

Just my two pennies... maybe it will help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tmonty11:
Spent all day messing around trying to reduce the eco, tried the piece of paper over the mic, flashing modems, different roms, and finally came to the conclusion that this combination of turning off noise reduction and turning down the volume helped. Hopefully a fix is found in the near future!
