Thank God there's you who have given so much to the Android Community. You have a family, life, and job; so attend to them as needed. Hobby is secondary. Your hard work is appreciated, TDJ.

One question: Does stock ICS kernel on V5 support OTG?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DinkinFlicka:
This seems like a random problem, but whenever I open a folder, a woman says "The folder is open" and when I close the folder, the woman says "The folder is closed". Talk Back is disabled though. Anyone else experiencing this on v4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatlaoboi:
I don't like stock though... And I really, REALLY like TDJ's work. But it just gets irritating sometimes. But just curious, why is not marked in the title that is using an alpha kernel. I mean, I know that it says in the changelog thingy, but that isn't really making it known. And maybe the reason why it been posted several times is that people don't want to/have the time to read through 600 pages of posts. And it isn't listed in the known problems, there it only says "Reboot/Shutdown Hangs", that's it. Nothing on no being able to open apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpone7:
Sorry by asking this (and taking up your time) but is this v5 or v4? :)

Look at the date he posted the picture

What battery do you have? This is v4 I assume?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Bottom line: all custom firmwares could potentially have bugs. If you aren't ok with that then you need to stay stock and take your problems up with T-Mobile support. Otherwise you need to accept the fact that there are going to be problems. It's fine to ask questions and report bugs, but you need to be helpful and constructive about it. Nobody here is being paid to support your phone. You use custom firmwares at your own risk.

Aside from that, the kernel source was just released. There hasn't been anywhere close to enough testing done with it yet to have a beta ready, much less a stable release. It's going to be a while before you see ICS kernels for this device that are completely trouble-free.

The reboot/shutdown hangs are being caused by ClockworkMod Recovery, not this firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Now is not the time for problems with v4 or his kernel...

And how could it not be an alpha kernel if he just made it??...

We all love his work. so make a positive accurate post. And do a search on your PC before talking about to many threads to read through..you can search the threads...

and the other reason I was going to post anything at all, is I'm finding only good things..

any problems, easily resolved.

AnTuTu scores are higher than stock. very fast and smooth like ice cream on a warm summer's day.

Thanks TDJ,

downloading v 5 now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Diekrupt:
Problem is tdj did such an incredible job on his ginger roms, 2.5 to 2.7 that he set the bar too high as a starting point on the ics ver. :D There were and are a few issues but main thing is performance is not quite what it was with his ginger based roms for me atleast. This probably comes with tweaking the kernel which its in alpha release.

Ds dw 2.7 its the best ROM with the most improved performance i have ever run on any phone and I've run all the kangers, acs and other crews roms on various phone on various carriers.

After running ics for a few weeks now i have come to the conclusion that there is no technical reason for me to use ics over ginger, not one so while I'll try v5, most likely I'll be back on 2.7. My 2 cents.

You are exactly the type of person who doesn't belong on XDA.

You are the exact type of person who should be using an iPhone.

ANY custom rom is ALWAYS considered experimental.

Deal with it or GTFO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
That's cool.. This is a development thread... if you are not interested in development then don't post here.... we all like ics...

I think ics is great.. it's new development.. and that to Me is great.. your advice is not worth one cent.

There is way more functionality in ice cream sandwich operating system... anyone thinking about trying I c s should definitely try it out it's awesome. Especially TDJ's Venomous roms.

I have no issue with V4 so i will keep it on. Will help seed V5.

This should be fas enuff on my home connection

It's sad that most people don't know the amount of work that TDJ does for us and people just cry. If the app dont open just reboot what so hard about that.

Once again TDJ thanks !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
You should probably just stick to stock if you are foolish enough to not read through the thread (at least the last 5 pages should be enough) and are unwilling to put up with some bugs. It is very clear that the kernel is in alpha and you are too f**king lazy to read the changelog?? I skipped over v3 because I was happy with v2 and he changelog didnt give me a compelling reason to make the upgrade. I am not overreacting about the laziness to not take 30 seconds to read the changelog and the complain that it's not in big enough letters. Tdj does amazing work and makes these phones perform like absolute beasts but with all hacking and modding, bugs can come with it. Official ics was just released and the kinks are still getting ironed out!! Appreciate our devs a little...!

Btw, when you get coffee at mcdonald's, the beverage you're about to enjoy is very hot. It's printed clearly on the side of the cup but I figured you should probably know since it isnt in f*cking huge vegas style sparkling lights.

Yeah, was just trying to see if others had a similar issue before I wipe and re-install. I must have a bad download or something even though I checked the md5.

Will just try again.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheAntagonist:
So, why the revert back to the stock look and kernel? In all honesty, I have had no issues with any of the versions of this rom. Everything has worked perfectly fine for me. Is there something that I'm missing as far as issues go? I will stay with version 4 until something new is added to this new version of the rom. LOL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noellenchris:
Did you manually select your apps to restore? Just checking as I made that mistake once and realized I had some google app's and some android core apps that slipped in. It will definitely create some strange stuff. Ok, well good luck with reinstall, hopefully you get it working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
On NexusMod I didn't have the echo on 2 releases. Third release I had it. On flash of your rom I had it. It's an off and on thing but regardless the echo is a mysteries issue that has never been fixed, it just hides and then booooo it pops back up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] warmonger26:
Stupid question but does the face lockscreen work? I tried it, set it up but, ends up with no lockscreen. Just goes back to home screen. Yeah, don't flame me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mayhem204:
set to 210. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tsvortex:
Just loaded this one up and have the echo going as well... it's only when the caller (land line, cell, whatever) is speaking that it echo's back to them. On the mobile end it's clear and when speaking back it seems to be perfect as well.

I went ahead and loaded up several of the other ROMS to test out as well and seem to have the same issue. Strangely enough, I've heard several theories behind this but I wonder if it has anything in common with radios since this seems to be hit or miss and there are several radios out there... I myself loaded up the VK1 radio.

I would think it would have to be something with software combination (radio firmware, something on the install, configuration preferences, etc) or one would think it would be a bit more reproducible.

Just offering some thoughts. If I find any solution I'll post it up. Definitely keeping this ROM running despite the echo though. None of the other ROMS seem to be working this well for me (freeze ups, won't reboot, tether doesn't work, etc) and let's face it... TDJ drops quality out so I'm riding this one out. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
Yes it works. You have to let phone go all the way into lock. Power button does not send it straight there. I use milocker (not for lockscreen but for its widget lockscreen icon), and it goes straight to lockscreen. When you hit power to bring it back up, it goes to photo unlock.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tsvortex:
Should have dug around harder with search, it's right on the front page and I can't believe I missed it. Re-post for those too lazy to look (like I was the first time, lol)

Confirmed this addresses the issue. You get a little tiny bit of echo just at the beginning but it is NOTHING like what was going on with it off. Just crazy.

Settings>call>voicemail provider and when you do it via app it does change just app doesn't realize it have to hit skip when it takes you back (from provider selection back in to voice app setup wizard). Sometimes you do have to go to setting manually and specify twice just tap and select (no restart needed) if it says error but still lists Google voice as provider you are good.

You can use app like titanium backup to backup and then restore apps after install (ONLY RESTORE USER DATA AND APPS AND NOT ANY SYSTEM DATA OR APPS EVEN between same ROM different versions in ICS it is known to cause issues).

Never had this, did you not wait 10 min after install and initial boot (after seeing home screen boot 5 min of boot does not count)?

Also, after any boot if you unlock and try to use immediately it will seem laggy as background boot processes scripts and tweaks complete their tasks.

Also, try ADW ex (search ADW launcher for free version though it lacks a ton of customization and settings that ex has). That may help as well.

Yeah, any sms to sdcard backup deal as long as it doesn't backup DB file and reads texts from text file in to app (point is it doesn't just copy DB from old version straight in to system and try to replace what's there after new version install).

See handcent sms it had cloud storage backup and stock sms SUCKS anyway (open handcent tap handcent services and backup)

Also see k9 mail it blows stock mail away (multi accounts and unified inbox in app) if you actually still use stock email crap.

You can filter Wi-Fi and freeze it (in titanium) or delete it from /system /app yourself

From that shot tap entries for sharing and tap freeze and read popup presented stating it will appear fully uninstalled by the system.

And you should not download ROM zips via cellular data. Using Wi-Fi at home and work and only using cellular data when needed I have never been throttled. I do use more than my 5g cap a month, and would DEFINITELY notice any throttling ;) .

I DID read the changelog, several times in fact. I read it pretty much every time i flashed. But it doesn't say how buggy it is. Also, I do read, it just depends on how much time I have. Sometimes I'll read like 3 other times I'll read 15. And I'm not pleased and grateful, I mean, hell, I could never do something like this

Thing is I moved from an iPhone to this phone.... And I know that ROMs aren't going to be perfect. And I am dealing with it. I just wanted to point something out and everyone is ****ing yelling at me for trying to help.

I didn't say that our wasn't or couldn't be an alpha kernel. And my post was kinda accurate, but not necessary positive.... The way I word things often gets me on trouble....
