Still working on it

I have to say I appreciate your hardwork and I am enjoying ICS so far.

I am still having issues with Android.core FC-ing even after using the super wipe twice and even trying to fix permissions later. I also reflashed the Rom twice but No luck :-(

I installed Chrome Beta and weird stuff began to happen.

Couldn't open any apps

Apex continued to work fully but couldn't access the system settings or anyting

Duck Duck Go is unable to do any searches

Reddit and Tapatalk both don't show posts. - I can see the names of the threads but when I click on them it shows a blank screen.

Dolphin and the Web browser do not show flash videos in fullscreen. Instantly crashes

On the plus side:

The Battery life seems to be a lot better then the juggernaut rom (Not surprising)

The camera works pretty good

Its very smooth no lag at all

I love the feel of this rom just as much as juggernaut
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djgromit:
This is not the fault of this ROM. I'm still running Blu Shade (GB), and this happens to me occasionally. Sometimes I can go into airplane mode and back, and sometimes I have to reboot.

I don't think it's specifically this phone either, because it happened occasionally on my Vibrant too.

Call Log issue

First, thanks TDJ for the great ROM. I been using your ROM fr GB til now. Honestly, your ROM is super smooth and great battery life too, except 1 minor issue and that is the Call Log. My Call Log shows mixture of all texts and calls. However, I really only wannt to view the log of calls, not the log of texts. I been looking for the option "View Type" but can't find it. Does any1 have the same issue? Can any1 please help or show me how to fix it? Many thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
Known issue posted many many times in this thread and in the OP.

I finally hit my first bit of WiFi issues today with the EAP corporate network. I removed the connection and re-added it and that seemed to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anhmuonm:
thanks for pointing it out in the OP thread. However, is there any workaround app to fix it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
Not atm with the stock dialer. You could try using a custom dialer app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anhmuonm:
thanks, Spalktar! I will try to search for custom dialer app. Other than that, the ROM is really smooth, no problem at all. Flipboard works perfectly. I dont use instagram, so it wont bother much.

TDJ, your ROM so far is the most stable and fine ICS ROM! If I wanna buy you a beer to boost up your energy, how can I do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dj2muchxx:
Pretty much the best ics experience for me!!! one thing I don't like or haven't figured out, the screen brightness adjusts itself and dims down while I use the web browser. No I don't have it set to automatic brightness. Wish it wouldn't dim down on its own.I like the brightness all the way up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ardcifliku:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Open the browser, and then select menu. You will see "Brightness and color" as an option. Select that, and turn off auto brightness, and then you can turn it all the way up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Hey tdj,

I thought I read in here that you figured out a fix for the brightness issues? The delay from outside to inside it's crazy sometimes.

Got a couple lock ups, hangs, reboots, etc tonight while on wifi. Was either using Go Launcher to open Gmail or posting in Facebook app with SwiftKey X. Reboot resolved the issue and I could not reproduce. Almost seems like a kernel issue.

I was just about to install this on the wife's phone, but can't really make it through 2 days without a forced reboot or freeze. Hopefully TMO gives us another leak or the real thing soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joneslaw22:
For some reason the Rom will not complete flash. Can some one help please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SirRastusBear:
Assuming you've followed the steps in the OP correctly, you may have gotten a bad download. Re-download the rom, boot into recovery & re-flash. Hopefully, you were wise and did a nandroid beforehand...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
TDJ, Beta-3 is working near-perfectly here. No FCs, no reboots. I can go for days without rebooting. (masterful & appreciated work, dude)

GPS links fine & accurate, for location, but compass seems backward. I havent needed any of that lately, so no urgency.

My flashaholic would love to go to UCLE2 or CM9, but I can't do without wifi calling on a DD.

Just curious, are you still planning on an EVO beta 4? or is UCLE2 so much better, we're done here.?

Either way cool, I could prob stay on beta 3 till the sgs S3 comes out.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
One is ATT and this thread is Tmo so he said there would be two different threads. IMO this one is better but the UCLE2 is way smoother. I'm sure as soon as a Tmo official comes out this would get updated since word has been that an official would be dropping that he could hook up.

Silent Calls

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but ive been having it off and on for the past few days.

I get a call, and neither I nor the person calling me can hear anything. Same works if i make the call. I cant even hear the dial tone of the phone ringing while i wait for the person to pick up. When my number is dialed however they can hear the dial tone up until i pick up, then everything goes silent.

Please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Are you using wifi.calling . a voip app or just regular mobile calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arrow123:
Well this ROM be getting an aosp lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I doubt it. Why not just get an app or make a flash-able zip to do that? This isn't an AOSP ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Ack! My Google Music all of the sudden has started FC'ing. I cleared that data and it still FCs. Then I did a full reboot and it FC'd right as the phone booted up. PowerAmp and other music players still work fine.

I really haven't changed anything other than doing another Darkside cache wipe after my lockup/freeze/random reboots last night.

Uninstall/reinstall of app fixed it. Odd... wonder why that happened...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Nope not using any of those. Have wifi calling disabled.

Im using regular mobile calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
What radio you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
The one the Dev made me install ;) ..... UVLC8 ICS RADIO

It starts working again once i reboot the phone a few times (once doesnt do it)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
OK good to know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Treytor:
I was having this exact same problem today. I figured I broke something by restoring the data partition when I upgraded from beta 2 so I re-installed the rom and didn't do a data restore. Calls work fine now. We'll see if the problem arises again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
Noticed that I can't charge the phone while its off, if I plug it in the phone automatically turns on. Don't remember if I had that issue with beta2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pipergca:
I'm on beta 3 and just changes mine this morning while off. Wish I had a recommendation for you. Are you on recommended recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
This was probably mentioned before but I am not sure what keywords to use to search the thread. For some reason, after a couple hours of use (sometimes just 1 or 2), I can't click any of the apps on the homescreen. They would light up but nothing would open. I would also be unable to send any MMS or access system settings.

I did not flash any mods. I followed the installation directions including the correct radio. I also would do cache wipes (using the .zip in the OP), and I did not restore any data using Titanium. I am also using the correct recovery. Any fix for this? I really love the ROM but being forced to constantly to restart makes it difficult to run this ROM as a DD.

edit: I'm running beta 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Im always very hesitant to re-install a fresh install of a rom. I havent had an issue with that. The issue comes and goes. check your wi-fi calling I can see where it might be that (system-->more-->wi-fi calling) Its disabled for me and im still having the issue. Is it on for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Treytor:
No it's not, like the first poster. I tried enabling / disabling wifi (it was never enabled, worthless with the 5+ second delay), tried rebooting twice, and still calls had no audio at all. Incoming our outgoing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
Make sure your toggling the wifi calling not regular wifi switch.

thats what i did. The rom doesnt care if wifi is on or off ... if wifi calling is enabled itll try making wifi calls. (a bit silly but there you go)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
Yep just reflashed back from the att leak. Might have been a bad flash gonna reflash before I head out, don't like doing backup recovery because most of the time I get some kind of issues on ics with either data not restoring right or busybox not working right after so I always do a fresh flash back. To be honest I don't remember if I had that issue on beta3 either before I went to the att version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Treytor:
Yeah I'm aware, wifi calling was not on at all. Thanks though :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
Tons of posts about this over the last 30 pages. Redoing the darkside cache wipe should fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Madblaster6:
Anyone having low signal. I usually have full signal at home but now its low. Wifi off, data on. Beta 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
It'd be nice, the difference is that the att ports are slightly less buggy - there are multiple att ports to work from but only one tmo leak. I just need wifi calling because my home signal is awful and I work underwater half the time and the cell signal doesn't seem to penetrate through the water :-(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtymindedx:
The radio we have to flash after installation loses 4g after a period of time and I find myself rebooting to get it to come back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtymindedx:
I agree with you but can't wait till the bugs have been worked out that's why its still a beta.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Try any ICS radio for this phone (whole thread in Dev) as they use different frequencies and setups so what works for one person may suck for you until you get modem that works best for your area. For instance I always use the Blaze 4g ICS radio with any ICS ROM myself.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qdoba:
Do I need to reflash the radio before moving on to a different rom? Or will this radio work for other ICS roms as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
It only fixes it temporarily, I'm afraid..

Coast Guard :-) whenever I'm in any of the lower compartments on my cutter it's below the water's surface. The phone signal dies pretty much the moment I go down there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Ever had a phone work underwater before. Also what radio you using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scoobykanye:
Nevermind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
Also, with respect to touch being unresponsive, you don't need to do a darkside cache wipe and wait the whatever minutes to boot again. You can just simply reboot and it'll work.

But the biggest issue that it is only temporary. No matter what you do, the touch screen will become unresponsive again.

What I read from a couple pages back was that someone was saying this unresponsiveness was due to the fact that people were using task manager to close apps, and it was messing with the phone's RAM and memory or something like that. I'm not 100% sure about that, but it would be the cause.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
My phone works all the time underwater... as long as i'm in wifi calling range! Its really a lifesaver. I use the stock uvlc8 radio and sometimes the blaze radio. Its not a radio thing, its the same across all phones and providers. All my shipmates' iPhones and other android phones just lose their signals when they go down to the lowest deck... except for this guy who has wifi calling!

Question....

First off I'm a true believer in the darkside and has been running these roms from day one...now on the ICS DE2 B3 with no themes and no mods followed the OP line by line for the install. the only issue i have is the wifi calling delay. Is there a patch or something? i have done a search in the thread but didn't see a fix just a lot of people saying that they have the same issue. any and all help is welcome. Have to use wifi due to limited coverage at my house. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Why is the atnt leak getting so much recent love lol.

This rom is pretty excellent.

FlAsh it and tell us :beer:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Its an issue that hasn't been fixed. It can't be fixed more than likely until tmo release ics officially. If you need wifi calling to work 100% perfect use gb till official ics drops... cause its probably not ever gonna work perfectly until official drops OR we get an updated tmo ics leak.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
Right. I had made several calls with wifi calling before with no problems. But last night I had a couple calls in a row that had major delays and weren't usable. I had to disable wifi calling.

I'm still needing to reboot at least once per 48 hours due to apps hanging or not starting.

I guess that I should try the AT&T leak. I was staying with this due to wifi calling but I obviously can't count on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
The ATT leak is much better as far as app stability goes. After flashing beta4 all these issues went away as I also had them. The only app that crashes on me now is Lyrics App but it hasn't been updated in ages so that's probably the culprit. But everything else is uber stable and any apps that are regularly supported work now. In my case atleast. Anywho to the point, flash this and you should be golden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
Hey TDJ,

I just want to thank you for all of your hard work. My phone charger got unplugged when i thought it was charging and I went like 30 hours without a charge (still at 30%). That's the best battery life I've ever had (I am a heavy user). I've migrated over to your new ATT based leak, and it's awesome! Keep it up dude, you rule!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
If you update this rom do you think you could transfer the crt animation and the phone apk from your att build?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
My wifi calling has worked flawlessly on this ROM. I don't know why i've had zero problems however I followed TDJ's Install instructions to the letter. (incl zip located in root of sd.)

I use appextractor (apps, not data) if google doesn't auto restore all apps/data. In past, I used TB to restore apps/data, & had tons of FCs, stuff stopping working etc, so, it wasn't the ROM's fault.

I'm now running TDJ's 4.04 just for curiosity, its great, but i'm happy with EVO & will come back to evo if he updates with a beta-4.

I have recently started to run the full.wipe.& kernel cleanser twice before switching to a different ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
First, thank you for your service.

But, yeah would make sense to me wifi radio would prolly be better all around. Have you tried restricting it to 2g? May have to use dialer code even to try 800mhz specifically (or lowest frequency your carrier uses) to see if that can get you making calls and baseline slow data from below decks? Thought it might be worth a shot.

I've started to see the 4G data drop outs that people have mentioned. Reboot fixed it.

But it's yet another issue that is causing me to have to reboot this ROM daily. It does still seem like the best thing out there though until we get a solid CM 9 or TMO gives us stock ICS.

Just keep regretting my purchase of a carrier branded phone and wishing that I had went with the Galaxy Nexus.
