First of all, thanks to TDJ for this ROM. This is the first ROM I've used for more than a couple of days. Seems to meet my needs more than all other ROMs out there. I've read 95% of this thread since the ICS leak arrived and have searched for my issue but I seem to be the only one with this... Everything is working great for me - except wifi. I can connect to my router and see at least 2-3 bars in the notification bar however once I'm browsing for a minute or so I get disconnected every time from the internet. Wifi bars are still showing on wifi signal but absolutely no internet connection - Store, Chrome, online apps, nothing. Turning wifi off and then on again works for a few minutes but then it disconnects again.

Not blaming the ROM at all as everything else is working, but just wondering if somehow this ROM is not playing nice with my router. All other devices in our home are working fine ATM and stay connected as was the phone with other ROMS. I heard sometimes Devs put Proxies in the ROMS to block ads, etc and wondering what I need to look at to possibly fix this. Thanks!

Edit: Wanted to also add that I've tried the Cache Wipe that TDJ linked in his OP. And have also started from scratch 3 different times with this ROM and tried 4 different radios, but still no luck on the wifi issue.

Works fine, issue on your end. Follow OP guidelines or try the cache/permission script.

Simpling rate 125000 and up threshold 95 = faster smoother better battery if u don't know what it is Derek will explane :)

Ohh and shut off vibrate on key press..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
sampling rate is how often the governor polls the frequency. threshold is the amount of load on the cpu before stepping up to the next available frequency

We already got a MIUI gb rom by eugene or are you tlking about MIUI v4 which is Ics?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I used to love MIUI. But..... Now i really only care for AOSP based projects. With the exception of this device, because we are not lucky enough to have a device tree and I am not nearly skilled enough to build one. Luckily touchwiz isnt as over cooked as sense used to be. For what TW is, its not bad @ all, i dont mind it so much. It has grown on me, I am really missing CM/AOKP with this device tho :(

Either way man your kicking ass love the ROM no problems at all !! :D

Nah u got the skill man.. I've seen the magic you can put together ... but I know you have a lot of your plate right trying to work out all the little ticks out this build . Which I'm happy to report I don't suffer from :D maybe after you get source or whatever, some random project can arise from that :D:beer: ( just wishful thinking) :p

Under settings >> Accounts and sync, before i rooted my phone, I had the T-Mobile backup contacts as an account. I was wondering if there was a way to get this account on these custom roms.

Does anyone know a good and efficient way of transferring/backing-up/restoring contracts? When I backup and restore via sim, i end up having a few hundred-maybe even 1000 contacts when it's not nearly that high. I think it's because Gmail sent all the contacts over-not just the ones that I mainly had on my phone before rooting.

Right now my contacts just looks cluttered because sometimes there's more than one copy of a contact and then all my contacts were synced with facebook before root and I had photos associated with the contact-I'm really OCD about now having the contact picture there. =\

Download "Contacts Merger" from the Playstore. I use it every time after I flash a new rom. It gets rid of all the duplicate contacts.

Llama isn't a battery saving app, its a location aware, automation app like Locale or Tasker. Only battery savings is that it uses cell towers for location rather than GPS.

I only use it to automatically turn on wifi when I get home and turn it of when I leave....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n0tr1x:
Suggest you to flash super cache wipe and keep the radio as stated in the OP. If that does'nt help, read on.

Connect only the phone over wifi and disconnect the rest of the devices. If it does not fix, you reset the router once (disconnect all cables from router, leave it for 5 mins then reconnect in the order of power cable, input LAN cable, output LAN cables one-by-one) and re-boot your device with wifi as off.Switch on the wifi and try again.

These steps will ensure that the ROM is clean and so is your router without any load on it. If nothing else, i would reflash the rom and do a double wipe before it.

---------------------

Thank me if i helped :D

Not sure why but I just can't seem to be able to mount my phone via USB. The notification sound goes off on the phone, it charges fine and all but I don't have the option to mount the USB storage. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes it is. I even tried unticking it to see if it would work but it was to no avail. I have also tried ref lashing countless number of time and I get the same result :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Yes. It's the same thing. Freezing with TiB or disabled through apps setting results in the same. I even froze an app with TiB, and enabled it with app setting. Worked perfect.

I'm running on a Mac and I've tried on both OSX and Windows 7 Using bootcamp.

Update: I've decided to restore to my previous ROM but now instead of booting into recovery, the phone boots into download mode. I've tried pulling out the battery and pressing vol up + vol down before the initial boot up vibration. Any suggestions for this?

Yeah I kinda figured it out haha thanks! I kinda made sense. I guess my phone was going through a retarded moment and didn't realize that the USB cable was actually unplugged so it kept going into download mode. But yeah, a quick plug and unplug of the USB cable was all that was necessary.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] powerplayer28:
This happens and is usually caused by a problem with the rom (not the phone). This happened to me when I tried to restore the backup that contained the darkside ICS rom and it kept freezing when I tried to shut off, reboot, recovery etc.. Wiping cache didn't help me, factory reset didnt help either. The only thing that helped me which should help you as well is reinstalling the untouched version of the rom after a super wipe. I have not tried the cache cleaner as mentioned above, but this method should be your last resort if nothing else works :)

I hate to be ungrateful. But this looks nor acts like any ICS ROM I've used. It looks like it's themed to look like ICS. And barely at that.. It works great though. But the SGS2 runs smooth and slick on any ROM. maybe due to having the hardware buttons they didn't add the back /home / app history buttons? Where's the 3 dot menu buttons? I'm confused.

If I want to go back to my old ROM, should I just do a regular restore of my nandroid backup through recovery. I have done this many times but I haven't tinkered with ICS much or with flashing a radio (at least not on s2) ...If I restore my nandroid, does it restore the old radio as well?

Should I just wipe cache, wipe partition, restore nandroid in CWM ?
