Looks like I will try re-flashing and testing tonight. Errr. This was a clean flash and super wipe yesterday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] liderbravin:
Nah man i always used tdjs room but it's been around 2 months i been doing some testing with all this aokp cm roms that is coming out,just like a bunch of other users, but i. Always end up coming back to this rom.. Regarding your problem i can confirm it happens to me all the time when i try to send a picture etc, but not just on this rom, all others roms i have tried i get the same problem, no matter if is ics based or aokp, cm, or etc, but i didn't know about this issue about the WiFi been on was a problem, I'm on WiFi most of the time, gonna try without the WiFi and report back, but I'm sure it's not the rom since others already have said that they can do it... Maybe my problem was just that i have always been trying on WiFi, I'll report in a few minutes....

Edit... Works like a charm bro, and was super fast also... Maybe in your case its a bad flash, i don't know.... I had never been able to send someone a picture since i got my phone, always did via email, damn I'm not going to say I'm glad this has happened so i could find out, i don't wish bad to nobody, but I'm amazed that i have never seen nobody mentioned this before, and I'm always around.... Nways, based your things up and start fresh, also make sure you using the right recovery, u never had any problems with that, and i love twrp but for some reason some people run in to problems, so try using the one stated on the op... Good luck with your issue, it's great rom don't let that put you in a different one if you want a ics based rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
So are you saying you can only send with WIFI off too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gooface:
I have issues sending text messages all the time when I have wifi enabled, it works some times on some text messages, but it is definitely broken. I wonder if you turn off WIFI calling it will work then. I need to try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lowrider262:
Well after trying pretty much all the other roms on this board I'm back to Ds evo. Everything just works and works good & fast. Plus its the only stock based rom that I've used that has absolutely no call echo. Just droppin by to say thanks TDJ. I've been a fan of your work since the mt4g, every rom with your name attached is top notch guaranteed:thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
Gosh I couldn't agree with you more. This was the first one I flashed and I enjoy using it. It is fast and stable.

I am having some serious problems with Google online calendar syncing with my phone. It worked fine untill I reflashed the rom yesterday. I restored user apps and system data through Titanium Backup. Now if I go and force it to syc manually it works but will not auto sync. What gives? Is there something I should know regarding Titanium Backup and system data? What actions can I take to correct this issue? I have done all the standard stuff. Am I missing something simple? Do I really need to re-flash again? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hompsar:
I got invited to the beta for Zapstreak. It's going to be something that acts like Airplay for Android if implemented correctly. At least that is what I am to understand. I have the SDK but I am not a developer and kinda have no uses for it. Anyone know about it and wanna try implementing it into apps to check it out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Completely agree. I thought I found the "one" in jedi mind tricks, but the call quality sucks. This is by far the best one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rel500:
I can send and receive text with data off(only using wifi) I always turn off my wifi calling. I like to walk around when on the phone whether inside or around the house. Don't like the fact my calls drop when wifi goes off. Try turning wifi calling off maybe? Idk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capt-CDD:
System Data is a no-no

Yeah it is pretty much the consensus throughout the thread. You should not restore the app . data on many apps and google anything has sync issues if you do. I had issues with gmail for the same reason two flashes ago. Reflashed... restored apps NO data and had no more issues. It sucks having to set everything up again but it seems to be the deal with ICS and not with just this ROM but with most of them. RE-flash restore apps NO data and enjoy!

Cheers

As tempted as I've been to try out CM9 or AOKP (since both look to be at a quite stable status), it's almost flashing for the sake of flashing. I ultimately hesitate and back off because I have no problems with Darkside and it's been so smooth, stable, and worry-free. And battery life (probably my primary concern) has been good with this rom/kernel combination with CPU sleeper.

I'm actually on v7 still and haven't gotten around to moving to v8, but I wasn't sure if there was any real benefit as I'm not having any troubles now.

From a technical standpoint, I understand that one ought to really run the latest version as it's assumed the author updated for a reason, so maybe I should...

TDJ, you have a large fanbase that thinks you and your work are fantastic. Here's another voice letting you know that your hard work has been appreciated. I know this is likely a hobby, and you do it for the love of the game, but I do hope you've gotten something back for your labors, even if it's just satisfaction at contributing to so many people's daily "communication" lives.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] liderbravin:
yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
So like you said, after a re-flash and not restoring data to all my apps ( although I did restore to some minor things like games ) everything is back to normal. And I learned my lesson about flashing other ICS Roms. This one is going to be my DD for sure untill a stable JB ROM is out for the SGSII. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
You don't need supercharger, Derek knows what he is doing and believe it or not, v6 is only minimal gain or none.

And I would not go to twrp. In the op he recommends cwm non touch for a reason. It may cause issues at random, it was discussed by tdj with his own experiences around v4. Granted this was a few versions back in twrp, but Derek hasn't commented since on the new versions, so I have to assume cwm is the safest bet still
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
Titanium backup is the root of all evil!

You should just never use it to restore something that will re-sync on its own or something you are just too lazy to enter yourself. I restore (DATA ONLY)email from the standard email app, mms/sms data so I get my chat history back. I am happy to re enter wifi hotspot information again I have never had a problem restoring game data or other non system app data and then installing the app from the market...

Falling on deaf ears... tomorrow on the next page in this thread will be another post about how the rom sucks because someone restored everything from titanium backup and now nothing works....

Should be a popup window you have to click through before entering the forums here with a Titanium backup disclaimer!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
I just noticed that the"switch" to enable Call Waiting, is disabled. It is "greyed out". The switch itself is dead. No idea if its a TMO or a ROM thing, / if its deliberate or flaw of either?

Anyone know about this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lowrider262:
The call waiting switch works fine for me... maybe its not enabled on your plan? I'd try reflashing and if still the same call tmobile and make sure its not a problem on their end
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcnbama:
I agree. I am still in the live and learn stage of alot of this. On my HD2 running Gingerbread Titanium backup workes fine so I got used to using it I guess. Music playlists, certain game files and settings, only a handful of things that won't just resync. I just never thought of it that way because of the success I had with the HD2. However I Did search this thread and only found a mention or two of Titanium Backup issues in some older versions. Hopefully. Now that we've had this conversation the next noob that searches will find this info and take heed as to the consequences. Thanks man!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
I dislike the fact that being throttled makes the phone consume more juice because it's pushing data for extended periods.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
Well you could pay for a bigger plan or use Wi-Fi. Plus that issue has nothing to do with this Rom. Just saying.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dss4me3:
Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to pre-load some applications into the rom so that they load upon 1st flash.

I have had success only with 2-3 apps out of 30+. This is what I have done.

Open the ROM Zip file with winrar and navigate to system\app directory. I have deleted unwanted bloat (swype, TW launcher, camera.apk, TW camera) and added about 30+ apk files that I would like to have preloaded. I flashed the ROM and after the load screen I begin to get error messages, "unfortunately this application has stopped" (or something along those lines.) A few apps did load, Nova launcher, Jelly Bean style Camera, but programs like Gmail, Maps, gallaxy wallpaper, setcpu, and a few games do not laod.

Now I have started from scratch, and removed the preloaded apps I had moved to the system\app directory. I did remove the bloat listed above. The rom loads fine and I have to spend 30 minutes manually installing each individual app. This is why I would like for it to automatically install all the applications upon 1st boot.

I think it may have to do with the fact that while installing the apps manually I must 1st allow installation of non-market apps under setting/security.

Is there a workaround for this, so that I can load all my apps on 1st flash.

Thanks,

I don't dislike Titanium it is very useful in small doses. It seems like it just doesn't play nice with samsung phones... I started with a Vibrant and moved to the SII and the Vibrant was just as picky about restoring data and apps... I imagine there is a forum and thread somewhere about Titanium problems that might shed some light on why it seems so problematic on our phones... I may hunt for it on my next day off!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Dark side evo plus setcpu equals G.O.A.T. ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
Thank you for pointing out the obvious. The point is that this shouldn't have to happen. Doubling the throttled data to 120KB would alleviate this issue. Im sure nowhere in the contract does it say that throttling affects phone performance yet it does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lowrider262:
No complaints here with battery:D no governor or voltage changes or extra scripts running. Just flashed the rom and set up my apps.

APN

Does anyone know of a program or why that I can delete the stock tmobile apn completely? It seems hard to do on ics. I use straight Talk and made a new apn that works mostly ok, but I think the stock apn is messing with my mms. Help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Your phone will only use whatever apn you have selected. But you just open the apn you want removed, press menu, then discard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
The stock apn will not simply remove. I know it should online use the apn selected but I have a weird issue that I think the stock apn might be causing.

You recommend using "CWM RECOVERY 5.0.2.7 - NON TOUCH". Would using "CWM v6.0.1.1 NON TOUCH" work just as well?

Side question: I see in some of your guys's sigs that you are you are using CM9 Stable build. I was wondering is there a difference between the regular Samsung Galaxy S2 vs T989? I see the regular rom but not the T989 rom on CM's website.

Thanks

having kind of an annoying issue, whenever i hit the home key it sends me to the dock or "clock" app, been driving me nuts, was working perfectly for a long time before. any idea's? ive already wiped cache, dalvik, cleared permissions on app (currently using TW) reset perms, messed with clock app. i have no idea how to get rid of it!

My girls phone had the same thing and its completely stock. It just stopped after a while. don't know the solution but pls share if you figure it out in case it happens again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DKfilms13:
I have a problem. The phone had been freezing at certain (random) points while using it so I wiped Delvik cache, fixed permissions, and wiped cache. Upon rebooting the phone it gets stuck at the SGSII Boot animation. The animation continues to loop but the home screen is never reached. What should I do? When I restart I am indeed able to get back into recovery. However it appears my last recovery backup is a "mismatch". IDK what this means. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
If you're using non touch CWM recovery, flash the cache wipe.

hey guys i need help stat, my phone all of a sudden rebooted itself and wont even get past the darkside load screen, it just turns off and keeps trying to turn itself on. i can't even boot into recovery via volume button. any suggestions?

How exactly are you trying to access recovery? Button presses, etc?

removed Music Player, now unstable...

I used Titanium Backup PRO to forcefully remove the Music Player that was included with Darkside Evolution 3 v8.

The reason I removed it was because it does not support .WAV and .FLAC formats.

Upon reboot after removing it, Apex or Holo launchers would not longer work - had to select TouchWiz instead.

Also, for some reason - WiFi calling got turned on, and the phone now complains with "ER05 Invalid SIM card" - even though it worked just fine before this.

The application "Tango" now complains about "Low on space!"

Then I receive a series of notices of other applications that "has stopped."

QUESTIONS:

Does Music Player really have so much importance to the stability?

Do you think that re-installing Music Player will return the system to normal?

If so, does anyone have a .apk containting the Music Player that is found in Darkside Evolution 3 v8?

Thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rel500:
This one is from the Galaxy 3. Much better UI than g2

http://db.tt/BNrBFMqR

N honestly I don't think ur problems are coming from that. Y did u even remove it in the first place?

I understand that it doesn't play some files but if it doesn't consume battery or RAM just leave it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BrasilNut:
It would auto run, as soon as I plugged headphones in.

Seemed to be an annoyance to me.

Would be okay if it played .wav or .flac files.

But have no need for it.

I actually discovered that Titanium Backup Pro DID NOT remove it afterall.

It just somehow mangled some stuff up and made everything unstable instead.

Now I am very hesitant to ever use Titanium Backup Pro again, in the future...

Anyone know if the MMS over wifi has anything to do with Mms.apk itself or has to do with modifying the framework as well? Because I want to use it on the stock odex version.. I dont really like custom ROMs..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
I'm pretty sure neither. I think its in the kernel level.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samcrocr:
@kiladubz Flash super wipe and flash the ROM again... I had some problems with it and that fixed it.... Just remember to back up your apps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] donutkidd:
Will this rom get another update anytime soon? Pretty solid now but would like to see new features implemented as well..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Had this issue on two previous phones. It's not rom related. The phone pretty much thinks its in dock mode, so whenever you press home it takes you to that screen. It also automatically puts your calls on speaker when you dial or answer a call. I had read that cleaning your usb port should help, well on the first phone it did for a while but it came back so I did a warranty exchange. On the second phone I messed up the usb port and my phone would no longer charge, so i did a warranty exchange again. Really hoping it doesn't happen to me again on this phone

Also, I work around for the home button issue would be to uninstall or freeze the stock clock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rel500:
So this has happened to both me n the wife's phone

No audio when placing or receiving calls.

First time it happened nothing would fix it except a reflash. Today a simple reboot fixed it ...

Anyone else experience this?

No issues. Don't see why this needs an update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sauron@Mordor:
Agreed. Unless I'm just very lucky, every feature in the current release seems to work fine and the build is stable. The only reason I could see for "upgrading" again is if the (already good) power consumption is further increased.

Kudos to the team.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juancubo:
Tdj,

My wife is using your Rom for a while. Still in version 7, just avoiding a super wipe (that's me avoiding a "I had this before and you erase it"). The only problem she has is that the clock keeps resetting to GMT 0, automatically even that I have unchecked that options in date and time menu.

Workaround meanwhile has been using clocksync but I would like to solve this. Do you know if it related to the base or noone else have report it. I remember having this issue from stock ics and that was one of the reasons I came to your Rom

been on v7 for a long time and depending how I clock the kernel and i/o I've been getting upwards of 20+hrs battery life w/ still great performance

the only thing I've ever really had is having to uninstall market updates in order to download new apps, also extra vibration when texting sometimes

I've just been lazy and haven't flashed v8. Is v8 worth the update or will I not notice much of a difference staying on v7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samcrocr:
Today I wanted to test my battery when I'm using my phone heavily. the results are amazing! I took 1 1/2 hours of calls and browsed the Web for like 40-50 min and most importantly I had my auto sync on. I love this ROM to bits. Again thank you Derek for developing this awesome rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jingletard:
Quick question - I don't like the stock dialer app in ICS, I prefer the older Gingerbread style where you had a contact list in the dialer app itself instead of having two separate (dialer / contact) apps. Any way of installing the old GB dialer+contacts app? I tried using some 3rd party dialer apps and they were horrible.

I even had a problem dialing 911 on my phone when an emergency happened using exDialer so I'll definitely never use it again. I had to grab the wifes phone and call 911 on it instead.

In any event, thanks for your ROM TDJ. I love everything about it except my dialer issue above.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
This rom has the most themes out every one in the theme section is made for this rom. I prefer it when a dev leaves it as is, that way people have the choice of of picking how they want to theme it and I would think it also leaves it easier for people that make themes because they don't have to go looking around everywhere for whats been changed.

Thanks bro. I have no issues contributing to the community and have no problem sharing anything I work on. I have shared my knowledge with countless people who are eager to learn. All because I love to see the android community push forward. At this point when I see the things I see and having xda allow this happen, well there is no need for me to waste my time anymore. I have a great respect for the real devs that work on bringing innovation and envy them for not getting caught up in the bs.

I was unaware of this unethical concept stealing from the Jedi side. If that's the case, that sucks! Darkside was my first rom flash on the GS2 and after seeing these last few posts, I will be venturing back. TDJ, (commence ass-kissing) with your expertise in the dev world leaving all of this behind would be the worst thing to do, it allows others to win. Be the better person, dev, etc. And reclaim your stake! Ignore all the ungratefulness and prosper!
