I didn't mean to come off as it was a competition. In any case enjoy your newly found free time! :) thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Its people like you tdj, that let's us know that there is still hope left in this world. I didn't know at all that people were thinking that there was some competition. Honestly xda, grow up. In stead of fighting embrace the luck we got right now. Keep this obnoxious stuff up, and maybe next year there won't be a android development thread in the t989 forums! I can so understand why you're leaving. You'll do better somewhere else and not helping people that take these devs for granted. And to the guy that dissed tdj, why don't you just put a sock in it. After tdj had the kindness to ask the cummunity for suggestions this is how you treat him? Why can't people like you lose your phones at least we would have some better devs and have tdj still here. Who knows what roms will be like without him?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
TDJ,

Sorry to here you lost ambition, I really thought your deving was really taking off with your kernel development. You are one of those Devs that take the work from base to the end.

I still think you should take your skills to the next level with the pm i sent you.

But hey man that's up too you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
Folks,

Please help me out here.

On 8/16, I tried taking pictures (just like usual) and looked at the pictures in gallery also.

On 8/17, I realized that pictures are not showing up in gallery. It said 'No items' from camera; from gallery, 'Camera' folder itself was missing.

I read some posts and cleared data under 'Media' and rebooted - it started working again,

Couple of days ago, I realized that my phone ring tone was different - when I tried to change it back to my usual one, I couldn't find any ringtone.

Again, read some posts and tried to find a .nomedia file in mnt/sdcard - no luck.

I did not have ROM Manager installed either.

1. What should I do now to get ringtones back?

2. Did I lose anything else?

3. In gallery, I only see pictures from 8/17 onwards. But in externalsd (thought my computer), I see ALL my pictures. What is stopping them from showing up under Gallery?

Thanks all for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
I don't think your in the right forum, but i could be wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
Right - but did it because I am on Darkside and we have the most helpful bunch here :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Right on, But if you could let us know what rom and kernel combo you are running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
I have Darkside v8; venom 3 kernel and T989UVLE1 baseband
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
I really don't know what to say but try to un-mount and re-mount the sdcard in the phone. Have you played with any camera setting at all?. I all else fails back up all the data on the sd-card and re-format it, something could have gotten corrupted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried unmounting/remounting. Didn't change any settings.

Only thing I could think of between 8/16 & 8/17 is - used TiBU to restore an app called 'Flightstatus' or something.

Also used it to restore App+Data for Tango.

Would any of that cause that?

Is there a way to restore ringtones and notifications sounds?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Which rom were these TiBu from?

Also I keep my media folder with all my personal ringtones and notifications on my internal storage, try moving them to there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
TiBU backup fronm v7.

Thanks appreciate it.. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightyab:
Hey TDJ, your work doesn't go unnoticed, especially in my household. I myself have moved on to the S3, but my wife and my mother in law both have a S2 and they are running your ROM smooth as day. All they can say is how smooth it is, how lag free it is and how outstanding the battery life is. Wife's mom thought it was awesome how it runs so smooth out of the box but I had to show her the DARKSIDE. She really loves the name and boot animation. I call her 'The Queen of the Sith' (long story) lol. I miss your work and especially your awesome kernels, I've told some devs over in the S3 forums to PM and maybe you could help out. Told them your agreat dev and you know what your doing, I'll make sure your name is heard over there. Thanks again for your hard work and your valiant efforts into bringing the S2 into one best phones out there. Samsung should thank you personally
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rajunks:
any pointers guys?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightyab:
In camera settings you have to change your storage to sd card if not than they will go to your internal memory on your phone.

It all sounds like a bad download to me though. If it were me I would re-download the Rom and also copy everything on your sd card and reformat your sd card. Than place everything back on your sd card and see if that works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] muasxees:
Hey guys, just curious... Has anyone tried or utilized this ROM with faux123 ICS kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gpchess2k:
Quick question with WIFI on this ROM..... When I come home and my WIFI on my phone is turned on, it most of the time doesn't connect to my home network. I have to manually turn off then on the wifi. It does that with almost all WIFI networks. Im pretty sure its a build prop setting right? Anyone know? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] griever721:
I personally have not tried faux's kernel with this rom. I have tried faux's kernel with other roms, and my experience is that TDJ's kernel gives me better battery life, which is my biggest concern.

Also, I think TDJ has mentioned this before, but his kernel and ROM work best when used together... which is why I wouldn't use another kernel with his ROM. but feel free to try it out :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KaneHusky:
First of all, I want to thank TDJ for the time and effort he puts into this ROM for us. Your hard work is greatly appreciated! Since I need the WiFi calling feature where I live, this is really my only option for a great daily driver custom ROM. Please keep up the great work TDJ!

I've run into a root issue with this ROM. Last weekend, I tweaked the classes.dex file in an attempt to get CRT OFF working but the phone froze at the bootscreen. At the time I did not know how to use adb to restore the original file so I restored my phone from a nandroid backup that I made just prior to the tweaking. Unfortunately, I lost root after the restore. I attempted to restore all necessary permissions and symlinks via several methods, including flashing a modified version of the original updater-script. Needless to say, the phone is rooted and superuser says everything is fine as far as permissions are concerned. However, I cannot mount /system as rw. I tried several different methods - Root Explorer, manually via terminal emulator and adb. Any ideas what would cause this? What files/permissions are necessary to mount the system as rw?

Re-flashing the ROM is a last resort option for me and I'll probably end up doing so this coming weekend if I cannot find a solution otherwise. I'd rather figure out why this is happening for the purposes of increasing my developer knowledge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
While I can't tell you why it happened, it is a bit of a known issue that restoring from a nandroid backup kills r/w permissions. The only solution people seem to find that works is a fresh install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jfran964:
Any body having issues with wifi tethering? I can get it going fine, but none of my computers are seeing the wifi. Any ideas? Flashed and reflashed. Worked fine in v7, but not 8 for some reason. Love the roms though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
It's known issue when restoring a backup using cwm. Whenever I've had mishaps like that happen I'd just reflash the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DirtyIno:
When u searched for the .nomedia did u have show hidden files enabled? That happened to me last week. I use es file explorer, I enabled show hidden files and deleted the .nomedia file. All my files showed after that. Hope it helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrpagercao:
try "generic ics" phone profile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jfran964:
Worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hideokuze:
Hey guys, been using this ROM a while and haven't had many issues. However, my phone wont stay off when I turn it off. It keeps going into Darkside boot animation and starting back up. It's a great ROM otherwise. Anyone know of a fix for it? Really appreciate the help! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
is there any way to pull the kernal from this rom. I only need the kernal and the link is down for the kernal on that thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ardcifliku:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ubikwitus:

That's not good to see you leave your work is the sh**I'm sure you have your reasons any ways more power to you stay up don't let all this sh**get to you hope to see you back soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ruhrohs:
Thanks for the b1tchin' ROM. Recently picked up a Galaxy S2and quickly installed this ROM on it. It has been stable for me since day one. Sucks to hear that you are not developing anymore. Same sh1t happened in the Galaxy S1 forum, where people flame the developers causing MAJOR drama for no apparent reason.

No matter how many grateful people there are in a thread, it only takes a handful of sh1t eating a55 munches to ruin it...FOR EVERYONE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gretschpr:
Very true...sadly :-\

To TDJ, thank you sir, for everything you did, I feel bad to see how things ended, but this I tell you man, (and I know I'm not alone on this) you were, are and will be a GREAT DEV...I'm going to miss your work... :( I wish you luck on anything you decide to invest your time from now on... Be safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Reiver_Neriah:
Ugh thanks so much for this information!

And thanks TDJ for all your hard work!

Sent from my 'Hercules' on Jelly Bean <3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kaiserXDA:
I'm also having the same issue, with a little variation. My phone takes about 30 to 45 seconds after the screen shuts off, for the soft keys to turn off and the phone then immediately starts the start-up boot animation. I've had to pull the battery on a couple of occasions because it seemed as if the phone was never going to shut down.

Not sure what to do about it, except trying a reflash.

I have one more minor bug in an otherwise amazingly built ROM. My clock keeps resetting itself to Greenwich Meantime, and the timezone changes also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeench:
ugh. I got a gs2 a whileeee ago. decided to flash this rom after not even rooting it till today. im all oh man i like this rom! boom. discontinued.

thank you for what you did and have done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
This rom is awesome as it is. No need to worry about that.

Also @tdj, thanks for all your work here on the S2. I know I am one of many who appreciated all your work here and will be sad to see you leave. But nonetheless I respect your decision and wish you nothing but luck bro. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
+1 I'm going back to this rom now as everything else now is being worked on or is in heavy testing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Caboose13:
I'm now heart broken. Your work was highly appreciated and thank you for everything. I wish I could convince you not to stop but everyone has there reasons. take care.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeench:
totally! loving it no problems at all!

only thing i wanted is screenshot in the power menu... so ill just do that my self this weekend. i think i know enough to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AntonJart:
TDJ,

I've been rocking your ROM's since I got MyTouch 4G last year. Your MIUI port is still working flawlessly! Now I got Galaxy S II and got this ROM on it (after trying some other ROMs and finding that yours is truly the king of all other ROMs).

It was sad seeing you leaving MyTouch 4G some time ago, and now it is happening with SII.

I hope these (insert many words here) people, who were dissing you, get their phones bricked for once and for all.

Thank you for the enormous amount of time that you spent to work on something that actually made our phones millions of times better than stock. Good luck wherever you go.

I've been on vacation for a while.can anyone explain what happened in xda? I'm very confused as to why TDJ left.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Lots of high school drama as is the norm. I think TDJ got accused of crap and he was just fed up with it all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
There is definitely a lot of high school drama.. I wasn't accused of anything. Its funny the way things are on this board. A certain person wants to talk a lot of jazz about me but has no problem trying to be sneaky using stuff from my ROM. And cries because I post useful information. That's only a small piece of the pie. I don't claim to be this super developer that writes all this insane code that changes the world. I do what I do and do it for fun. When people want to try and ruin my fun, then there is no reason for me to do this anymore. People want to preach about respect but have never shown it. I have been on this board for a little while. Spent a lot of time getting the ICS touch wiz ROMs running good. I mean I used almost every base and ported all the stuff over and continued to work on them for months to get all the little bugs out. Not to mention the kernel work. Now a certain person wants to take a spin off of the "darkside" and ride my coattails. Innovation, creativity, and originality at its finest.. Its all good tho. Now since there is no one to copy. Let that "dev" show all of xda his super skills. Not to mention all of the bs people talk like I did something wrong.. esp when a month ago I was alright and they loved my work. My time is to valuable for this silliness. So now I will do what I do for myself and don't have to deal with the drama and will offer insight and helpful information to the people that appreciate it... And that's my rant...

Don't be surprised is this post get removed because someone cries.. that's the users of xda for you..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
Dude, I don't talk much around here but I mean what I say when I say it. I think you know how much I appreciate what you have fond for xda this phone. While I am definitely sad that we will never get to see more of your work, I'm happy you are moving on and away from this garbage. When it stops being fun it ain't worth it anymore. Good luck man. Hope my beers were enjoyed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xindc:
Sad to see you leave. Have been using your stuff since gb rom and loved them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hideokuze:
I get the exact same thing actually. I tried putting setCPU on conservative and not to go over 1000Mhz and it'll now shut down, but if I try to charge it while it's shut down it keeps booting up. I think I might have to find a different ROM since this dev isn't working on it anymore. Sad too because it was an awesome ROM. Now everyone is all about the SGS3 =/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Colombia81er:
TDJ as long as you know u did right, who cares what that one person thinks. We know well that your work was far and beyond what most dev where doing.

With that said "WE" hope to see your work emerge once again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
That Freakin Sucks... You have the BEST ROM's OUT Period. Dude Kangs your work and talks crap... What a Loser!! I have appreciated your work since MT4G and you WILL BE MISSED. Take it easy bro and don't let it worry you to bad. Peace... :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
If anyone is still interested.. Expect an update with the new UVLH1 android 4.0.4. NO ETA..

Taking requests for things people would like to see.. will not guarantee I will implement everything suggested.. but open for ideas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mataflakitas:
Good news...:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Here is where I stand after a lot of thought on all this.. I am a firm believer in pushing the community forward. Innovation, creativity, and originality are the keys into doing this. I am definetly not happy with the way people act around here, especially some of the new "devs". There is no sense in not helping the community when I am able. I know that I can deliver a solid ROM based off the stock Samsung firmware. It will continue along the line of minimal ui changes and focus more on ux. Updates will not be as rapid and before, but development will be consistent until I am happy with where the project ends up. I will be moving in 2 days, so I don't think I will have anything ready for another week or so. This is not an eta, just letting you know where I am at... let's do the damn thing and show them that there feeble skills are no match for the power of the DARKSIDE!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
TDJ, this is really awesome of you!!! Thanks for taking the High Road, for most of us anything you're willing to share will be just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Glad youre back tdj, thanks for your continued dedication to development. I request volume wake to be optional on 4.0.4 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Yeah.. I will make it optional. Its an easy 2 line smali hack.. I was going to do it for evo8 but never uploaded it... this time I will upload it ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] milt006:
Certainly glad to hear of your decision. I look forward to your work and really hope that the two "forces" can somehow reconcile and maybe collaborate on a project one day. You are appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Glad to see that you will be putting out more ROMs, I have enjoyed all the ROMs you have created to date. Will you also be considering creating a ROM from the Koodo 4.0.4 base? I know that when ICS dropped you showed us Canucks some love with your Telus Darkside release (which I still use as a go to DD by the way).

If not, would it be possible to create an add on feature for the UVLH1 ROM so those of us using the T989D (Telus variant) of phone can see the 4G symbol? If not, would you be able to point me in the right direction so I can try and change this myself. I don't know much about programming, but I can follow instructions.

As for features, if you made the ROMs similar in feel and function as the EVO ROM and the Telus Darkside, it's all gravy to me. Centre clock would be nice, maybe an AOSP style lockscreen where you can choose different targets to navigate toward. That would be cool. Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bleuwave:
Thanks tdj.

As a feature request, how about making touchwiz(dialer, messaging, etc) look a little cleaner as in like the jb stock. Touchwiz looks like a joke right now (especially colours in the phone and messaging app) but its the most functional (ex. Doesnt split SMSes) and stable rom.

Also, another request if possible would be to hide the the voicemail button in the dialer and just be able to hold the number 1 to check/dial voicemail. This is because i dont have the voicemail addon and i get charged if i press on it accidently. I would use another dialer but those dont integrate properly and have problems of their own...

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Unfortunately, that's the nature of that "team." Always has been, regardless of the username the person is using at the time. Glad you decided to stick around. Other than you, I don't know of anyone doing an aosp kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Loose 2 mbps?

I don't know what speeds you were getting with stock but I average 17-20 mbps download speed on any stock based rom in this forum.

I get 5-8mbps download speed on a good day with aokp or cm10.

I live in Atlanta Ga and have tested these in all the surrounding states and get the same results.

I would rather see some kernel development in addition to tdj releasing an evo update rather then see another aosp rom with a thread full of questions like "do we need to full wipe before we flash"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Whatever, I make one suggestion and somebody's got to bite. I just feel with his skills he could build something good, maybe he could look into it. That is all.
