Hey guys. I love this ROM, but i'm having one big problem. Every time I go to reboot to recovery, It freezes on "Power off". I have to pull the battery to get it to turn off and then do the manual recovery thing (sound+power).

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

I don't know what else can be done to this rom. Its perfect in every way that I use it. It so perfect that I just had to go off and flash another rom just to get me out of my comfort zone with DS. Don't worry though I have several backups of my last stable perfect DS from ready to go. Thanks tdj for your awesome work. I'm still using your kernals.

One more thing. Does anyone know how to get the clock features ( worldtime stopwatch etcc) and the camera used in DS to use on CM9?

I'm posting this because my phone has not been sleeping properly today.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28676218&postcount=24

All,

I found that using Chrome for Android would, at times, drain my battery in the background substantially, to the point where it would be the first or second highest "reason" listed for battery drain, even when I hadn't opened the app all day.

Thanks to Badass Battery Monitor, I found that Chrome was using the Gyroscope in the background. This doesn't make any sense, so I assume it's a bug.

Here are the steps I used to resolve it:

1. Open up Chrome

2. Go to Settings

3. Select "Developer tools"

4. Uncheck "Enable Tilt Scrolling"

5. Reboot the phone

This seems to have resolved all battery draining issues I had with Chrome. I just wanted to post about it in case anyone else is having the issue, and so that Google is aware there is an issue and can resolve it in the future release.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
From the looks of it, you restored apps and data from a CM9 or other rom to this one, which causes that problem. I'd re-flash and restore apps without data. Otherwise just reflash the rom and set it up again..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thedark1337:
That issue can be resolved with multiple apps available to people or a flashable zip. Search for agps patch in this forum for the patch or search on Google Play store for FasterGPS. They both essentially do the same thing, which is change the NTP server it connects to. FasterGPS connects to your countries servers, and IIRC agps patch goes to a custom run server. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476962 The Dev of this patch runs a custom NTP DNS server that should allow faster lock.

First let me say I love this ROM, I've been bouncing between various ICS ROMS the past couple of months and this one is my favorite.

That being said I am having freezing/soft-boot problems on this ROM and to be honest, every ICS ROM I've run. I don't think this issue is Darkside Evolution specific but since this is the ROM I run the most and I see the issue here I wanted to post on this thread to see if anyone has any ideas/suggestions to try and fix this. I love ICS but the freezing/reboot issues make it very frustrating to run it.

What will happen is the ROM will run fine for the first few days then randomly I will start to see some brief hangs, then some longer hangs, and finally the phone will completely freeze and then do a soft boot. After which the phone will work well again, but the time will be off by 3 or 4 hours.

At this point I do a full reboot and the then the time is fixed and the phone will work fine for another day or 2, then the same pattern happens again. From the time of the first minor hang/freeze to the soft boot I'm usually looking at an hour or less.

I can't find a pattern to any specific application causing the issue, I've seen it happen when running a dozen+ different apps. Sometimes I'm in E-Mail, or G-Mail, or Chrome, or Facebook, Twitter, IMDB, Woot Check, you name it. I have yet to find a common thread.

I have tried 2 different Launchers to see if maybe the launcher was the problems. I see this issue with both GoLauncher and ADW. I have even tried moving the GoLauncher APK to System to make it a system app, per a suggestion on this thread for another launcher, but no difference.

The MD5 hash for the ROM checked out for me.

I always run the Super Wipe .zip before installing the ROM

After first boot I wait about 10 minutes, reboot, run Super Wipe Cache .zip, boot again, then start my setup.

I always reconfigure all System settings and apps from scratch, I do not restore.

I do however restore all my non-system apps from Titanium Backup Pro, including their data so I have all my save games/settings for those apps still in tack.

At this point I'm not sure what else to try. My phone was perfect under Gingerbread, I had been running the stock ROM, rooted, prior to going to ICS. So I don't think it's a hardware issue.

The only things left I can think of to try are:

1. Maybe just use the stock launcher to see if that works better

2. Start over again, and dont' even restore non-system apps (though I hate to lose all my save games in the various games I have installed).

The first time I went to ICS I used an Odin image of the Stock ICS build. Is there something that this Odin image flashed that non of the non-Odin installs touch that is maybe corrupt and no matter how many times I flash from Clockworkmod I won't ever fix the issue?

Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have background in UNIX Administration and have been flashing and tweaking my Android installs since the Galaxy S (Vibrant) came out so I'm more than happy to dig into the command line and tweak anything that needs to be tweaked.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HiM@L:
Everything you do looks almost right except one thing... Never restore data from backup. You can only restore app but not the data. Restoring data causes lots of problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gohawks1:
I am only restoring data for non-system apps, i.e. my games and other third party apps. I am not restoring system data.

I've been restoring non-system apps and their data with Titanium Backup for years , with no issues. Heck, I had even done it with this phone on Gingerbread with non issues.

I'm pretty sure Derek has under volted the kernel. That could be causing you some issues. If your comfortable and know how try upping the voltage some and see if that helps. Or maybe try Eugenes kernel or even faux123's kernel.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kris33074:
Same here too, random freezes or unresponsiveness. Not sure what is causing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
The only time I've seen random freezes on v7 or v8 were when I was using one of the "high performance" CPU governors. I have no problems with ondemand whatsoever. Very stable and good battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
You shouldnt need the sleeper app. TDJ changed something between V7 and V8 that improved battery/sleep and it wasn't the kernel so I would hazard a guess he built in his own sleep tweaks that are working in V8.

I would suggest NOT running extra scripts or apps that effect system settings or kernel settings and see if the rom behaves better.

I consistently remove a handful of apps, add one back in, (see my signature) and restore data only for [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage to get my mms history back. and data only for email to get my email and settings back. Everything else important re-sync's when my google account synchronizes. I highly suggest restoring data only for one app at a time and testing the phone to be sure restoreing data isn't causing problems. Also I would reboot into recovery after restoring data and run the cache cleanup script to be sure permissions are set properly for the data you restored...

I don't run kernel apps or other scripts with this rom, it consistently causes more problems than it cures to try to out think TDJ and the scripts he already has built in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kris33074:
That seem to fix my freezing problem.

I changed from the badass governer to ondemand.

Question regarding Titanium Backup.

When I switch from GB to ICS, can I restore app + data? It seems like restoring data on some apps causes issues. My Play store was broken badly. I couldn't install Google Apps.

I've decided to restore app only and restore data as needed. Is this how everyone else is doing this? I think this is the reason I haven't upgraded to ICS. I think this has happened to me before. BTW, my GB ROM was functioning perfectly. I'm hoping for a little better battery life, though.

edit:

This seems to be the answer. You then realize that you dont have thaaaaat many apps that require backed up data. Still lost a few minor things and a whole lotta time going from GB to ICS but im guessing its worth it. ROM seems great so far.

edit again:

this applies to me too:

I can't get anything to download from Google Play Store either.

I can't get any updates or new apps to download but, they show in the notification bar as trying to download and the spinning bar thing icon won't clear even after reboot. I've got three going right now.

I also have lost my ringtone /notification ringtones settings all together. I try to set call ringtone, right now it is stuck on the stock Samsung T- Mobile ringtone, and I get my options, Android -Go - Zedge, and when I choose Android I get "silent" as my only choice. When I pick Zedge, all I get is the "sorry, Zedge has shut down" and it force closes. It's the same for the notification ringtone settings.

My camera acted weird the first 4 or 5 times I tried to review what I just shot by clicking on the thumbnail in the corner of camera screen. When I do, the camera force closes.

My email and my SMS / MMS don't want to download or send any photos or attachments either. They, like the Play Store, they are perpetually "sending or downloading" .

I just flashed this on Saturday, and after I finish writing this I will try re-flashing CWM, wipe everything, reflashing, wipe, restore only system apps from backup, and apps from Google Play I will do one at a time with no data, and clear cache.

I'll post the results later tomorrow or soon.
