It was supposed to be increased to 100. I will look into the issue.

It Power then Home. It has always been Power then Home. This is really one thing that is starting to drive me crazy when i see people say it doesnt work..

Ok for one. calendar widget was not included because it doesnt work with the new launcher. this has been the issue since the beginning. So hence the reason its not included. I will post the original TW Launcher for the people that need a calendar widget. If you're using another launcher and trying to set a static wallpaper, then to answer you in short, it will not display correctly. That feature is intended to work with the TW launcher and isnt gaurenteed to work with any other launcher. As far as redraws go, I have no had a single one. Once you start pushing things to the system I can not offer you much help. This ROM is really almost rebuilt for everything to function properly. You cant just take things from the stock build and push them to the system, they will not work.

The new accuweather widget will not work with other launchers, I might be able to modify it. Thats samsung for you...

To clear up any confusion. I USE TWRP 2.1.8. i suggest cwm 5.0.2.7 because i know people cant break their device using it... use whatever u want just dont complain here, thats all...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saxysaxplayer:
Actually, that's the first place I went. However, they don't have a page for the SGSII version of swype like the do the SGSI version, so I figure the users here could give me some insight.

Loving the ROM and the new VENOM kernel TDJ. Thank you for your work! :D

Btw i'm getting awesome battery life with this new Kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:


First you need a larger sample size, 2 tests is not enough considering how many variables there are. Anything from tower location, network load, interference/obstruction, etc will affect your speeds. The second test got instance something clearly went haywire and should be regarded as an anomaly. My tests vary by almost 10mb on the same radio.

And if you do conduct tests make sure it's from the same location. Run 5 tests, flash a new radio and use darkside cache wipe to wipe dalvic, then test again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
I think its from people not not holding it down long enough , i thought it didnt work either and then i just held it longer one time and it worked , its not instant like it used to be just gotta hold it longer

Is it a new feature of ICS that battery stats reset on every reboot? It used to be with GB that my stats would carry over and only reset when phone charged to 100%.

I prefer the old way better as I am trying to track my usage and battery life. Please let me know if there is a way to fix it.

As usual TDJ, I am loving your ROM. I have a friend with a GNEX who is really jealous that you don't make roms for that phone after he saw mine in action.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nismo13:
Having some trouble, downloaded the rom and it was only 321 mb when sourceforge says it is 336.6 , md5 sum was correct

I tried flashing and got an error

So I go to redownload it and its downloading at the moment, but it still says it is only 321 mb? What am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hotsammysliz:
Thanks alot for the fast reply. I will try some other radios but aren't certain radios only compatible with certain ROMs like in the OP TDJ says to only use one of those 2 radios. Also in the Darkside UCLE2 Thread would that radio be compatible with this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Yes it is an ICS thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Not necessarily. I have T-Mobile but I use Darkside UCLE2 which has the ATT base, and I'm running that in conjunction with the radio from this thread. I get up to 16 mbps.

It's also worth nothing that the Telus radio is the Canadian one, yet some people are reporting good speeds with it in the States. You just have to try different ones and see what works. You can always go back to the Mod UVLE1 radio if the others don't help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ytj87:
I'm having poor bluetooth audio over my car's radio, a Pioneer.

Anyone else? Incoming audio is distorted, choppy, etc. Phone connection is solid, as shown by switching back and forth with speakerphone which is perfect (no echo!).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hotsammysliz:
Awesome. Once again thanks a lot for the help. I'll try those other radios out then and see what happens :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I've done BT audio on 2 different headsets a number of times now and been very happy. I haven't tried to connect to a car radio.

My headset results with the included Samsung headset were very poor. The DSP manager settings do take effect when using BT audio, but they don't appear to do anything for my headset audio. But I also use headset mode for playing music in my car (via a cassette tape adapter) and the audio there is much better (but still no effect from DPS settings).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Diekrupt:
Tdj, love the darkside been on it since first release on 3x.

As a suggestion this ROM on the nexus has really nice customization options in its settings. Not sure if its open source or something that can be kanged but it gives users the ability to adjust most of the common items that people tend to want to adjust, fyi.

Thanks for all you do.

I flashed the newest version, the one with the VENOM kernal it seems. My battery life has taken a dive. Everything works great though. No data roaming so far. I still haven't reconditioned the battery or wiped the stats. I will be able to do that over the weekend and report back any success or failures. So far the Kernal performance is MUCH MUCH better than stock. Well done there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dexster:
Yea the Att Mss.apk dosent work on tmo maybe its cause their apk is .4 and tmo OS is .3

and i only want att cause they the only mms that give opp to change the txt size to a bigger size
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Well I guess its not as easy as unzipping the file and replacing the swype.apk in the system/app folder, rezipping and installing lol. New zip wont install haha

"Installation aborted. (bad)"

:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpnelson40:
I can't make it work, but Volume- and Power works nicely for me, if I press Power a tenth of a second first (so the volume slider doesn't appear). I find that the torque caused by pressing the Power button makes it hard to press the Home button at the same time, and even if I do, I get the task manager or list instead. Since the Volume- key is opposite the Power button, it is easier to press both, so I would favor that in any case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] camocritters:
just in case someone missed it..

the option to add DARKSIDE to the lock screen instead of swipe screen to unlock...

HA .. anyone that knows ? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Man, there are all kinds of themed Swype APKs floating around. Search here on XDA, or check out this link:

http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/

I'm using one similar to the Outline one except the keys are rounded instead of square. Got it from Droid Life, but it seems the link is gone. Seems Swype doesn't want people theming for some stupid reason. I can up it somewhere if you want, just PM me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dexster:
Well you can root uninstall swype and install what ever you want
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Can this be installed right over top of the swype included in this ROM or do I need to remove the swype apk from the system folder via root explorer first?

edit: the other reason I like the earlier version is I dont like the numbers all along the top. Back to my first question...should I be able to unzip say darkside 2.7, and copy the swype apk in the system folder and install on this ICS ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Yes, remove with Root Explorer first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
So if that is the case, TDJ, is there any way to adjust that back to the GB method? It's very hard to track stats when any time I reboot my stats get wiped.

Thanks in advance!

Ok tryiing the rom now and i found a couple of things not working. I did a search and can't find any solutions. Maybe someone can help:

1. Chrome to Phone does not work when trying to connect Chrome to the phone (get this "note": chrome to Phone does not currently support Google Apps accounts).

2. Chrome browser is not showing up on Play.

3. Question: How do I make it return to home screen after a call ends?

4. Calls on wifi calling is going thorugh (rings and answering) but I cannot hear the person and he cannot hear me. any ideas? I'm using the UVLE1 radio.

Yeah, I was wondering about tjat size disparity, too. But i checked ygr MD5 hashes and it matched. You should always check it to ensure that you have a safe flash.

I'm running v2 now and all i can say is that there is no bug for me to report. It's super smooth, literally bug free.. And great battery life, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shatterpoints:
Its almost that easy. If you are going to change or edit contents of a zip file as long as you have what you need to flash it with CWM you can use the app sinapktic or if you know how to sign your zip files on the PC then you can make any kind of flashable file you want. Just be sure the scripts push/pull things to the right places.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mainevent3405:
Phone to Chrome works flawlessly for me as well as Chrome showing up in Google Play. Must be something you've done incorrectly.

Wifi calling is working great as well, on both ends. Can't answer # 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
This ROM fully working for me very beautifully. Have you tried restarting to recovery wiping cache, dalvick cache, fix permissions (with darkside super cache wipe, or restart run fix emissions found in supercharger script to do it in OS) restart will take longer after wiping dalvick cache. I also flashed the modded blaze 4g radio done by TDJ maybe that could help if you change radio flash before clearing cache and dalvick cache in above steps or clear both caches after its install if done sperately.

Calendar Help

Earlier, I had mentioned that all was working well when I had flashed everything as instructed. However, when I boot after all my data has been restored, and try and sync the calendar, I get the following two messages, that continuously keep popping up.

Unfortunately, Calendar Storage has stopped

Unfortunately, Calendar has stopped working.

I tried installing third party calendars off the market, also tried installing the Stock ICS calendar from the Play store, but no luck and keep getting this error. Not sure what else I can do....:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
For me too. Not just this rom. Chicago did it too. It stays on until you turn the screen off. Then it stays off.

You should NOT be restoring data...it causes many problems...especially with apps like the calendar

uninstall all your apps via TB...then boot to recovery, run the super cache wipe and restore JUST the apps themselves

Use pure caldendar or something like that cause the sammy calendar widget currently does not work with this new launcherUX or whatever

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Leave yourself a voicemail. Either call with a different phone or press 2 after you call your voicemail, then leave yourself a message. Then, delete it, and the icon "should" go away.

While that may work it is a huge waste of time to be honest. To fix it simply clear the data and cache for the "media storage", then download any rescan media app from the market, run it and viola! ;) This has happened to me on several occasions with Darkside ROMS since switching over to ICS; hope that saves some frustration.

It's *laughed* and if you had ever followed anything that was spoken about before you would probably know that it doesn't always happen and also that the wipes work on TWRP but not CWM. I understand that it says it's recommended but that is the price to pay.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
I believe it was just the latest one and yea knock on wood lol, I guess just don't flash roms on TWRP to be safe, but other that, I guess everything else is good.

After I flashed the LE1 radio I initially had absolutely horrible reception and data speeds coming from the tower nearest my house. As soon as I traveled to work I noticed that I had better than average reception and data speeds there. Then when I returned home again my receptions/speeds were back to normal (actually slightly better than normal). It should be noted that I work about 13 miles away; meaning that going outside the initial tower range was necessary in order to get the reception working correctly. Using the dialpad *#2263# pro-tip did not help, and neither did any app that resets the network connection. Hope that helps ;)

Go into app drawer, menu, edit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbymokie:
that's the point. a recovery should be error proof. no matter what goofs you might make, you should always be able to load a rom onto the sd card and flash it. regardless of what experts and devs use, it make no sense defend or recommend a recovery that has any risks involved.

Good point for sure. I think I'll take this opportunity to ask: am I the only one on Darkside whose phone hangs on reboot or shutdown when using CWM? I have to do a battery pull either way. This doesn't happen when I'm using TWRP.
