[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] S.V.I:
Been running it all day. Had to reboot a couple of times

First when I could not load the camera, second when I could not initiate superuser, third when I was screwing around with the network settings and fubared my data.

For an ICS ROM this is pretty solid.

I can't wait until the sourse for the kernel gets released and you end up pulling some magic like you did for double shot port back in the day.

I don't feel the need to update to tonight's release since the change log does not apply to anything I use. :)

I just have one comment though, someone was talking about being able to switch between 3g and 4g (HSPA+) and I could not find the setting for that. There is a switch for 2g and 3/4g meaning GPRS and HSPA+. It would be pretty sweet to have a quick toggle for that option. Is that possible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
All ur problems could be due to installation error I do not get any of those . As far as 3g/4g mode u could do that if u dial *#2263# and switch bands from there

Thanks for the great rom TDJ. I only have one issue to report. My battery life is not so great, I looked at the battery log and wifi seems to be gobbling up battery like there's no tomorrow. Don't know if it has to do with wifi calling, but is anyone else experiencing this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Same way... read the first post.. wipe flash rom etc...Read you will be OK.

If that works then I don't have to setup all the apps and data again...it’s lot of work lol :) just can't keep up with all the updates. Wifey been complaining I spend too much time on this already. She literally wants to smash my phone. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quadrapole:
if you were on darkside 2 beta 1, please report whether you felt this fixed more of the minor problems (flashlight fcing, app icons disappearing and tapping on apps doesn't work and requires a restart, noticable increase in speed, etc...)

thanks

trying to figure if its worth it to update or just stick with darkside 2 beta 1 till official release
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajsam4u:
I don't get the 4G option and ICON with this ROM.. anyone having this problem ??

I went to NETWORK MODE and tried both option --> GSM/WCDMA and GSM only... nothing work.

All I get is E ( Edge ) and tried the speed test also and its very very slow.

anyone having any idea what to do ??

I am on the latest ROM beta2.

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
I notice in the op to use non touch recovery.... Has anyone actually use a touch recovery to flash this rom? I've read through many pages but didn't off hand seen anyone that has.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Well that's what I was meaning I hate setting up all the damn apps again that would be sweet if just flashing it worked didn't mean to sound like a dummy lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galactic2:
From the looks of things...(im flashing it right now).... Superwipe is baked into the flashable zip. So either way..if you flash the update rom..you're wiping. (Whether you like it or not)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
I'm pretty sure you get super wiped via rom script anyway. So over the top won't work unless you do a nandroid before and then use advance restore to bring back your data directory. If you "just" finished setting up Beta 1 (meaning your data files were all re-downloaded for ics, etc.) then it should be ok to migrate it back. Besides setting up a few system data files (sms/mms restore via appextractor, calls logs via call log backup and restore, and other trivial settings like wi-fi and bluetooth paring via Ti Pro), you should be good to go.

At least that is the route I'm going to try. Can't spend hours re-setting it all back up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kkholidaze:
Why don't you guys just backup with rom toolbox for apps and then backup apex settings and desktop, after flash, restore both. Re- setup took like 10 min tops.

>>sent from my TMO GalaxyS2 far, far away!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Advance restore the data from the beta 1 nandroid that's what I did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
or if you really feel like riskin it, you can just edit the update-script and remove all the flashing stuff and rezip the installer.

i prefer rom toolbox after a thorough wiping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blatz729:
Is it really??? Did you do anything to your phone? My phone was only able to send and receive through my 4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
That's what I do.. I actually use rom toolbox to extract from cwm. Works like a charm.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Lol I was actually waiting for his response after not nandroiding and it wiping everything:-p

TDJ, running even better than evolution 2 beta 1. Didn't think it was possible but you sure did make it better!

No crashes / FC's / freezing / nada!

I used App Backup and Restore which does a batch backup / restore the APK only ( what a time saver for reinstalling 38 apps lol ).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
i have not been able to adb from my linux VM .. but from windows it works fine... anyone else with this problem or have an idea?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Driftin350:
The OP says to flash darkside.super.wipe but included in the post is darkside.cache.wipe. It has been said that super.wipe is included in the ROM but OP says to flash it. Coming from GB so want to do everything right. Should I flash cache.wipe before rom and not worry about super.wipe, or is it the same thing? Kinda confused...sorry
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galactic2:
Never heard to do this... Gonna try this now. And this won't break anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
NOT the same

the cache.wipe is also to fix perms.. You must use the Darkside:D...wipe

or you will have problems:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bipoler:
Loving it. Question with the ics themes do we have an also messaging I feel that's all that's missing. This is damn near perfect loving the smoothness of ics !

@JeCire
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Driftin350:
OP says nothing about cache.wipe which is why I'm so confused. If it is not the same as super.wipe and OP says nothing about it I'm guessing I shouldn't worry about it? Sorry for the noob questions

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
For me personally, not to take any chances.. I always do this for flashing roms.

nandroid

darksidewipe x2

factory reset x2 manually in cwm

clear cache x2 manually in cwm

clear dalvik x2 manually in cwm

flash rom

flash whatever mods

clear cache in cwm

clear dalvik in cwm

reboot let seattle

I know thats over doing it but it only take a couple minutes to do it all. If you got time to flash roms than you got time to throughly wipe stuff. That way i can usally rule out any left over stuff that could mess up the flash. And I havent haad any issues flashing any roms yet by doing so. Other than the posted known issues. BTW im using touch recovery. I might just have to go back to non touch just to flash this one to give this rom a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
Tdj says not to use clear cache in cwm...

This is why people are getting confused.

Don't do what this guy says. Follow the OP exactly. I literally flashed this while driving home from work and was set up and ready to go before I got home (took like 20 miles lol). I rooted my phone the day before and was using stock tmo 2.3.6. Just follow the dev's directions. I promise they aren't hard.

Exchange security still requiring activation . Can't get around it??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Wipes

the cache.wipe is for if you have problems with the boot hanging or need to fix perms to fix force closings.

From the OP :: About Darkside.Cache.Wipe.zip

ONLY USE THIS IF YOU NEED TO WIPE CACHE'S OR FIX PERMISSIONS IN RECOVERY. THIS IS TO BE FLASHED IN RECOVERY! This replaces the need for using built in recovery functions. The DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE script will wipe both the /cache partition and the dalvik cache. After its has completed the wipe, it will then fix permissions (the correct way). This should hopefully fix that damn ICS reboot hang issue once and for all.

skyrocket on tmobile network

i don't fully understand this. I have an unlocked skyrocket on the tmobile network and would like to you this rom for ICS and wifi calling. Should i keep the included kernel or flash a skyrocket kernel? thanks!

why comment then lol jeez :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Your loss ;-) Its certainly an improvement! Just use rom toolbox to backup your apps ....

Personally I always do clean installs for everything. Its a surefire way to keep from added headaches if something goes tits up along the lines somewhere.

WIFI Calling

I am experiencing WIFI calling lag on incoming and outgoing calls (lucky me). This is happening on both my 2.4 and 5 ghz bands. The call seems to be great at first, but the longer the call is, the worse the lags gets. YMMV, but I d/l and installed Talkatone from Play Store (free) and the problem is gone using that app instead. BTW, I'm on BETA1 but will me checking out BETA2 later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipper2006:
Whatever got changed in this rom (could it be because Sywpe wasnt in) resolved all the problems with the restoring of the apps, my XIIA Live worked perfectly, and not even 1 app FC'd.. So far working well.. It doesnt seem to be going to deep sleep but that i need to follow over more time. But. Overall super duper job with this one.

You have a bad flash man. Redownload, put it on the root of your external storage, get md5 checker from the market. Match the md5. Then reboot into recovery. Use darkside superwipe, then flash the rom.

Draw something does work in DS2Beta01. I had trouble launching the app and logging in through Facebook at first. After several attemps it finally worked. I got lots of apps freezing and fc so I updated busybox. It helped a little. I'm going to try beta02 and hope it fixes some of these problems. Still a great Roman regardless. :)

Just ran BETA01 today without any issues..got about 12 hours of battery life out of it. (I didn't check how much I was at before it turned off). I didn't have any issues with the ROM either..Facebook, scramble, temple run, words, google music, music player all ran flawlessly for me :)

Loved the face unlock..been using it all day without issues :)

Thank you for the work :)

I agree actually. I really liked how seanz did just simple patches instead of having to wipe everything again. I use TI to back up all my apps but I hate setting up my homescreen and such again. Such a pain in the ass..

I know I can use TI to back up that as well but I feel like sometimes it messes up how the ROM should perform.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jesamyn:
It worked on v2 beta 01 and 02 for me. I don't sign in through Facebook, so I can't speak to any issues with that.

Apex launcher will back up and restore your desktop just fine. It loses widgets, but as long as you TI restore your apps first, you're good.

Seems like I am not the only one with the issue of apps not opening anymore after a certain period of time, Idk if it's due to apex launcher or something else, but apps won't open when I click them, and restarting would fix the issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
I'd guess it's a bad flash or s/he didn't flash darkside.cache.wipe and fix permissions properly. That fixed most of my issues anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I SERIOUSLY have this ROM running better than a GB based ROM on my T989 personally. I find time and time again folks don't realize a few things

>> Did you check MD5 on the ROM Zip BEFORE YOU FLASHED?

>> Did you accidentally forget to format using Darkside Super Wipe before flashing?

>> Did you forget to flash with a FULLY CHARGED BATTERY [not a sin just have to re-calibrate before complaining of battery life]

>> Did you remember to Flash ROM, restart, allow to settle, restart in to recovery clear cache, Dalvick cache, and fix permissions? If NOT DO THIS NOW

>> Did you attempt to restore ALL your apps [If you restore DO NOT restore system/app apps OR ANY SYSTEM SETTINGS from any previous ROM [set filter to User when backing up or restoring in Titanium and when you agree to batch you can also double check what is checked and uncheck anything like Bluetooth daemons, to system settings DB BEFORE restoring [if it somehow was not excluded by filter adjust (when restoring choose user uninst and backed up as filter to see only UNINSTALLED USER ONLY APPS (try not to replace apps with newer versions if you have any only data) ]

>> In Titanium [if using] did you choose the persist DB between different ROMs option? I believe it is in Advanced and not exact wording but very similiar this attempts to preserve DB structures to more accurately restore them when moving between different ROMs

>> For this ROM in particular: Did you flash NEWEST GAPPS PACK [The one for CM9 found here: http://www.goo.im/gapps as that seems to fix alot of small issues that may relate to the gapps pack included in the ROM [I got weird FCs after removing system apps aside from the ones I got FCs on] Like I removed Twlauncher, apex launcher, google quick search, Android KB, and a couple other incidentals and GTalk began FCing (never touched it it is integral and will cause issues if removed I know that) [I got one saying com.google.gapps] and NOTHING I tried [and I tried EVERYTHING I could think of through a bunch of painful restarts and wait for constant FCs to diagnose this and ONLY flashing NEWEST GAPPs FIXED it] and if all it is is a flash of newest gapps just add that to do after ROM install restart let boot restart, and install gapps then wipe caches, fix perms, and restart.

If you try to follow those few guidelines and follow detailed instructions [if unsure] (LIKE THESE HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25251156&postcount=2 ) You should avoid MOST issues

Then try and do so BEFORE complaining of issues that obviously have many many replies that state what you think is not working and is. I am not saying you cant be the 1 in a million, but statistics of 1 in a million are well rare [like 1 in a MILLION :) ]
