I was still getting hangs, then I was reading the faq section of apex launcher and found a little tidbit that said you had to push the apex APK to system yourself.

Did some nosing around in the file system with root and apex launcher was indeed in data/app folder. I cut and pasted it to the system/app folder. Now I'm waiting to see if I get anymore hangs.

It had been atleast 17 hours now, but I spent the last 6 asleep so, 8

I'll report if anything happens.

I read my share of these numerous pages and they have helped do and not do before I start posting that something just didn't work. Other times, I had my share for posting off topic issues and did my best to keep it a minimum. Maybe writing this should be in the General or Q&A section as the other member indicated me to do but just couldn't find the specific thread dedicated to this amazing ROM. A combination of more people starting to Root their phones and the popularity of this ROM, postings will increase. Apologies for adding more to this thread.

Clear cache via setting>App>Play Store> Clear cache.

Love the rom never had an issue just some user error inputs (ME). But i cant seem to get into recovery no more i will select it from the reboot menu it will just hang on boot. So i remove the battery and try the power and volume key up or down and still i cant. Plus every time i pull out my battery my % drops like 10%

I still have root access but i cant get it into recovery mode.

Using V8 DE3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joeyrey:
When your phones off you have to hold BOTH volume buttons and then power it on.. Not volume up OR down

edit: once in recovery flash tdj's cache.wipe and your reboot shouldnt hang after that

for music player....

No longer able to delete apk

Hello,

I updated to V8. I am no longer able to delete apps that I don't want. I tried using both ROM Toolbox and Root explorer to delete the app... nada

Also tried fixing the permission. But it states " can not chnage permission, the file system is read only". This probably why I can't delete the app.

Both root explorer and room toolbox are not able to chnage the file system to R/W

Any ideas how to fix this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Agreed, I've been flashing stuff for a while but I still read everything in the op just to make sure there isn't an extra step I have to take when flashing whatever it is I'm flashing. I guess some people just lack common sense

Hello

Can you provide instructions how to do this

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
I just downloaded superuser from the play store, then opened it and updated the binaries from the preferences screen i think. Then i removed supersu.apk from system/app using root explorer.

I think i moved superuser apk to system/app to make it a system app too.

PS i would run a fix permissions from ROM manager or from tdj's cache wipe script aftwrwards if you get everything above done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
I DL the superuser app from the store. I tried updating the binary. it said gaining root access: FAILED!

I did super cache wipe, didn't fix the issue, now the rom manger fix permission will no longer run...g gggrrrrhhh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
I use appRemover from the play store. Works fine for me. I'm running v8.

There is a SystemApp Remover also for $1. Never used that though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Try going into the settings for SuperSU and changing "Default Access" to "Grant." That should allow Superuser to automatically get root access without the prompt (which seems to be really problematic with SuperSU and certain apps). Now go update the binaries in Superuser. When you're done go back to SuperSU and change "Default Access" back to "Prompt."

I hope I'm posting this in the right place? I'm getting bad file downloads.

I have been trying to get Darkside ROM installed on my phone all friggin night. I followed the directions from the OP, and got No Touch CWM flashed,did the Darkside Wipes (both) couldn't get Nand Backup to work at first, but I already have TBU and ROM Toolbox backups and all files on my laptop. But when I flashed the radio file I got an error saying bad file. I skipped it thinking I can do it later and flashed the ROM and got an error saying bad file.I tried again, same thing for both files. I checked out the downloaded files and the radio file was empty and the Rom was only 1.22 MB. I redownloaded them both and got a good radio but, after 5 more tries still not one good file downloaded for Darkside Rom. All were between 899KB and 1.38MB. I of course am using Sourceforge, I tried 3 times with the normal download version,then the DLL(directlink) and even tried changing the Country and City closest to me mirror option twice. I am wondering could it be and my internet connection or is there something wrong with the SourceForge website? Either way, now my phone is able to get into CWM Recovery blue screen and I can get download mode with my usb jig, but the phone won't get past the boot up screen that says Galaxy S2 Android 4G tmobile with the blue uploading line. I can get it working I'm sure if I can get a good version of the ROM. Anybody have an idea they want to share with me about obtaing a good download? In the meantime I'll keep trying to fix and download a good file after work tonight.

Before you ever flash anything you have downloaded........ CHECK the MD5 for a match. It will save you all a ton of headaches. I also move everything to the root of the external sdcard, then check md5. I've never had a bad flash yet :)

I am beginning to think that the people who post crazy battery life, 20+ hours and way up are basically not using their phone. I was on this ROM for the longest, jumped ship and went to CM9 7/23 with TDJ's new kernel there, my battery improved but I still have not gotten the 30+ hours people post. I am a heavy heavy user, I get about a day of battery life, 9-12 hours. That's that I unplug at 6:30 am, wifi and data on all day, brightness at minimum, screen on time 15 seconds and everything else set to minimum, governor on badass, no real syncs other than weather once an hour. I am not certain on the CPU sleeper, as I have not used it, but in the CM9 rom, it is not needed. TDJ mentioned this, and I would suspect it would not be needed here either. I have CPU spy and my phone sleeps rather well, almost instantly after turning screen off. But it has been mentioned before as well, some phones do better then other, and so many factors come into play, brightness, usage, connecting to wifi/network. The weaker the signal, the more battery it will use to attain a signal. No two phones will rank identical, same rom and settings. Just like, some phones were built on a Monday, some on a Tuesday, and some on a Friday, at 3pm.... lol

Just came back to the DarkSide, anyone ever have a scenario where your Android ID number randomly changed? I found this out by opening a app/game I play and it was an account that is not mine.

Radio and GPS problem

Hello!

Thanks for the amazing work !

My phone reports the baseband version as UVLE1 but I still have problems with GPS since the installed this rom. The ROM information on the first page has "modified" radio. So does that mean that it's modified version of UVLE1 ? If so can I go back to the non-modified version just in case I want to switch to a different ROM ? Thanks !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
If it was a teamlava or storm8 game then it's because they corrupted their database and not anything to do with your Android Id or this ROM. Just because you are using this ROM doesn't mean that every time you have a problem you should come post it here in the development thread.

There is a general and q&a thread plus most games have their own forums where you would have seen a lot of other people reporting the same problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Plus 3 hours screen time is different on each phone. Is it 3 hours screen time outdoors, 3 hours screen time in a dark room, mixture of both? Etc...

Regarding the CPU Sleeper, the definition itself Vs the various governers that TDJ's Kernel allows sounds like it's doing something different.

Here is TDJ's definition of the Badass governer:

Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)

Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

Here is the definition of CPU Sleeper:

Since we have Dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.

Those just sound different to me. But maybe someone more technical could chime in. I do have CPU sleeper, along with using the Badass governer. I posted a 68 hour battery life with 1.5 hours of screen time a few days ago. Regardless of how much I use my phone or don't, on stock I would have had to charge at least twice during that time so I'm happy with my combo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
I have been using countless roms, been flashing since Moto Droid days, and apple prior to that, my level of intelligence is greater then average, but I'm not here for a pissing contest.

The timing of this incedent reflected immediately after i flashed back to this rom, so I posted my finding. I didn't search Storm8, so get over it.

It was a Storm8 game, but I dont see where I have ran and posted all my problems in this thread, sarcasm noted...

I see the points of threads and helping, and I see threads over run by trolls and personal conversations, yes, but what you fail to understand, is that this is the internet, people will post and never read, or read but never post. Just cuz you don't, doesn't mean someone else will. Before you are quick to assume, perhaps not even posting would be the better option, my post included, again, sarcasm noted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
The point is that you should search for issues with the specific app before posting in a ROM development thread. I don't know what the point of all of your other discussion is, but I posted the solution to your issue and suggested a better way of interacting with the community in a professional and mature way. Since you lack appreciation for someone taking the time to answer your question and provide you with the help that you requested, I'll just add you to ignore and you won't receive any answers or help from my in the future.

PS. Sarcasm is much better suited for the General forums rather than development forums.
