I had the same problem as well. The only way I was able to fix was to wipe everything and reinstall the ROM fresh. This was on the Darkside Telus ROM as well.

I haven't noticed a problem with dialing out, but the "unknown" caller ID issue is a problem with the stock ICS firmware as well, so it's not a problem specific to this firmware.

QUOTE=Dmkjr;28573569]Has anyone had an issue where the phone just will not dial out? Makes the call connect sound and other end phone rings but them nothing.

Also noticed at the same time incoming calls show up as "unknown".

Running the latest with stock v7 kernal and uvle1 radio.

Yes but it was after I played with themes an added one of the beats mods.. so my fault .. but I kept having to reboot or re flash. Radios.. so I re flashed a temporary rom.. of unnamed origin.. now waiting for... V8. Lol

Does version 7 automatically have the launcher 5x4 mod? I didn't see an option to choose otherwise. Thanks

I think my problem lies in the radio I chose. Will try.

Not the issue at all. Anyone have an idea? Just going to revert to version 6 I suppose.

LOL if you want it so bad, I'm sure there is a simple way you could patch it in.

CRTs are out though.

Now what would be cool is if you replaced the CD icons with vinyl records and displayed a needle grinding away while playing, or perhaps wax cylinders?

Just messing with you, but it should not be that hard to do it yourself; look around you will find something.

I am currently running Derek's Telus Darkside ICS ROM with the most recent Venom #6 Telus Kernel. Flawless, love the ROM.

I was just curious if anyone with a T989D phone has tried running this ROM on the Venom #5 T-Mo Kernel? Reading back a few pages it seems that Derek will be releasing one last build of this ROM and I would really love to give it a try since his Telus release is working so well for me.

Were the rotation issues only related to the Telus release when flashing a T-Mo kernel? If I stick to this release, which has a T-Mo kernel will I have the rotation issues?

Any response would be appreciated. Also, thanks TDJ for all your amazing work and making our phone as awesome as you possibly can. Peace.

Woot! I can finally post in these forums. Just wanted to say, TDJ, you are the man! I've been running your roms since Warfare and I love them. Phone performance has been sleek and the roms turned my phone's battery into basically a cockroach or nuclear bunker or something - it never dies. Thanks for all your hard work. Any way we can steal you to Korean S3 LTE development if/when you come back? :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LHBC:
Actually yes. It happened as the phone's whole experience started to go south. App hung, slow down, stutter and the call issue you've described, it was so bad to a point that I have to use Super Wipe to clear up the cache. Then after a while similar things happened again. Very sorry to say that I'm now back on GB. It was really good at first.

I had similar experience with the v7 version and the latest kernel. Going back the the version 1 (which is rooted TMO stock) helped to make my phone once more usable. I am running it for about two weeks without any issues.

I like TDJ UI customization and overall ICS seems to be more capable than GB.

Thanks.

One question before finally flashing this ROM on my T989D (Canadian Telus variant).

Which radio should/do I use with this ROM?

I'm assuming both are fine, but wanted to ask before taking a stab at any of them.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
You can flash any ICS radio.. it all depend on your location certain radio perform differently per your location.. I have 3 radios in hand the blaze, Le1 and lde I flash each one depend on my location and get different speed and signal...

Thanks JR.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twism50:
It works for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
You have to flash each one of the ics radio then test it out.. run speed test.. test GPS test phone calls etc...am in NYC and the 3 I have work differently.. I get better speed with LDE and calls is great so it all depends..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koooba:
Okay, will do that.

Thanks.

LDE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Lde is just the radio.. I've gotten 22mbps on lde.. blaze I get 12mbps and le1 just fluctuate..look around development thread there are links to this radio.. and in the original he posted 2 different radios..

I am just curious what is the main difference between this release and TDJs Telus ICS release? Other than the Telus release is based on stock Telus ICS and this release based on T-Mobile stock ICS. Would this ROM function properly on the T989D variant?

I am curious because this seems to be the more popular of the two ROMs. I am running TDJs Telus release and everything works perfect, just wanted to know what people's results are on this ROM with the Telus T989D variant of the phone. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koooba:
I'm thinking my best bet would be to actually use the Telus (Canadian Carrier I'm with) radio and use this Evo3 ROM.

Ideally, best of both worlds, assuming like kernels, radios can be mixed with ROMs as well.

Telus ROM and radio link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703045
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
That's the ROM and radio I have been running as my daily driver for the past month. It's flawless really.

I would also suggest flashing TDJs most recent Venom Telus #6 kernel with that ROM. Great battery life and performance. Use the badass kernel if you want a good mixture of battery life and performance. Download below.

You know, I would really like to enjoy this well thought out rom, especially since I've been using the GB version for so long.

But....

I use Straight Talk, I have a Straight Talk T-mo sim card, yes I know how to input my APN settings, there are a few ways, however any and all ICS Roms I have tried give me NO data and NO MMS abilities.

So, Straight Talk, T-mo based Straight Talk sim on a locked phone, NO DATA.

I have tried both radios in the 2nd post.

Otherwise, I like the rom, alot, runs great, zero issues, So, any ideas as to how to fix?, I have spent alot of time searching and all I come up with is the ATT based Sim APN settings, Nothing regarding T-mo + ICS

TDJ had mentioned uploading a new update by the end of the week or this coming weekend. Just have to ride it out and be patient. What you can also do is just do a fresh re-flash.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
More development?

The update is likely some kernel tweaks, and maybe a few things that I wouldn't even have a clue about.

Any theming y'all want made should be directed in the THEME AND APP section.

With the slew of Apex Launcher updates I haven't had an issue with the launcher locking up or not launching app for a couple weeks with that. This ROM is truly the DA_BOM.COM.

I am awaiting, with more patience than most, the update but so far this is a fantastic ROM. I even tried another one and ended up back here. Unless there's a JB update to build on, I won't need anything.

TDJ, you are a fantastic Android developer. It's too bad Google's Android devision doesn't want to throw money at you and give you a phat job.

No, its changed a little bit but you shouldn't have any issues.

Where are you trying to copy from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
The only 'issue' I'm having is with System Mute (Silent Mode). I put 'issue' in quotes since it's probably not an issue at all with the ROM itself. But I could've sworn that I used to be able to mute the entire phone (ringer, notifications, etc) by simply turning the volume rocker all the way down to where it shows the icon with the speaker and line through it. However, when I do that now it does mute the phone's ringer, but not the notification sounds. I pulled up the Sound menu just to see what happens when I turn the rocker down and the ringer/system sliders move down but the notifications do not. Its almost like they are independent. I just thought I used to be able to do this. You'd think system mute would mean system mute. Am I going crazy here?

Not trying to be smart but the best recommendation is to download both and just test each one with a speed test. I've found that all are similar but most people find one faster than the other. It can be done fairly quickly since all you have to do is flash them 'on top' of the ROM then reboot and test.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Here's TDJ's last post from 5 days ago. Either he's busy with life, busy with this ROM, or heaven forbid - both. Don't stress about it, when it's done it'll be posted.

I have an update that I will be releasing within the next few days. It should fix any GPS issues, as well as fix some of the other little bugs that have been hanging around (ie: the unresponsive app bug) After this next update, any development from me will be slowing down, or really not happening at all for a while. I have a lot of RL things to deal with and I just dont have the time right now for android. So with that being said, keep your eye peeled for an updated before the end of this week.. ~TDJ

Foe you flash happy guys, Jamison has released a great alternative. Its funny because there isn't a huge difference between the two but I read a lot of requests here (hundreds) in which Jamison baked in. If people would just look around they would find something that suits them better.

I'm about stability... and Derek and Jamison are sure the front runners for the t989... at least in experience.
