Is there a way to have the capacitive menu buttons only light up when their area is touched?

They don't light up when I type but usually any other touch to the screen sets them ablaze. Very annoying especially when I'm using the phone in the dark.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I love people like you that jump to conclusions. I haven't flashed the rom yet. I was just assuming that a boot loop would happen because rom installation forces a super wipe. A script created for the sole purpose of fixing the wipe process with the t989s non touch recovery 5. Jesus. I can't stand some of you noobs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Its just a typo. TDJ has not updated the OP to reflect the fact that the ROM is on a stock kernel, hence no bln. Soon enough the kernel will be updated and bln will return

Yeah just flash the Rom in twrp. No need for the extra super wipe at the moment, Rom does it in install no matter what recovery you use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Everyone please remember before making comments or reporting missing features.. this is just a "pre-release". Not all features are implemented and still work to be done. I released this because I am moving tomorrow and will not be able to work on this project for a few days.. also since the kernel source has not been released, there is nothing I can do about it.. if this ROM isn't polished enough, flash something new and come back to this later. Also I haven updated the op thoroughly, it may list features that have not been installed..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
Dude seriously I doubt there's gonna be too many ppl complaining with this release. This is running smooth and any features missing are not a problem when you have a solid rom running with everything working and no fc happening

Edit: And I say too many ppl because everyone knows there's always going to be those that ask for something they believe they can't live without.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TmobileJunkie:
@thederekjay Thank you for all that you do ! It was an excruciating wait, but well worth it for you ! Thanks for the update. My phone sorely needed it !

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
SECOND!

TWRP worked fine for me.

In the waiting period of the ROM, 2 minutes to go. An initial boot is a great sign.

- GPS worked great, I use WAZE when I drive and there was no issues there.

- BUG, maybe: I didn't setup the notification sounds for K-9 mail, and it started playing Cross Canadian Ragweed (Walls of Huntsville if you're interested)...but wouldn't stop when I killed the app. I even opened the music player to make sure I didn't accidentally discover a special music feature. Had to reboot to get the music to stop, I'm in a quiet office. Normally I just back out of the app or kill it in settings and the unwanted notification song stops.

Running smooth otherwise. Will add more if anything comes up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chan1628:
I hate asking this question cuz I know some ppl would get offended...

but I'm a CM user .... started cm6, 4 phones ago... and now testing cm10 with this awesome S2

currently, running CM9.1 which was released last nite (stable as hell, btw)

Now I know there's a lotta great work done by TDJ. .. btw, glad you're back in the game :-p

but can anyone gimme some reasons why they choose to run this (modded) Stock vs. running AOKP/AOSP?

I dont wanna start any arguments here, I'm really just curious about the reasons why so many of you pick this modded stock over CM9 nightlies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
Nah, I don't think anyone would flame you for asking but you are asking in the wrong thread. I would say, nandroid your phone now and flash this one to try and you'll be able to find the answer yourself. if you dont like, just restore. If you want to ask questions like that, goto the general or q&a.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
As great as CM / AOKP / AOSP ROMS are, there are still some functionality issues. As many have experienced (myself included) speedtests are dramatically reduced with AOSP vs TW ROMS. I can average 16-20 on DL speed using TW based ROMS, and only 8-10 on AOSP. Whether this is just an issue with speedtest app or actual conncectivity issues have yet to be determined.

In addition, AOSP ROMS have yet to incorporate touch to focus within the camera app. Until recently, the preview window for camcorder was blurry (video played just fine). When sending MMS, unless the picture was taken in Landscape (with the soft keys pointing right) the pic will be rotated.

I love AOSP ROMS, but little things keep me coming back to TW, especially when TDJ makes such killer ROMS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I think it all boils down to personal preference. I love AOSP based ROMs as well, they are nice and minimal and you get the pure Android experience with no bloat, there are a lot of options/customizations as well. However, although CM9, for example, can be used as a DD, it's still not 100% error free. For the life of me I can't view videos in the default gallery that is provided in CM9, it just doesn't work. I have to use a different viewer and it fixes the problem. BLN was an issue for a while as well, screen lock ups from time to time, random reboots in AOKP etc etc. It's a good OS, I like it, but like I said has it's quirks.

TW based ROMs were meant to be run on our phone and just work better. Yes they have a lot more bloat, but these custom ROMs normally remove the bloat. You don't have to worry, for the most part, of quirky issues and options not functioning since everything functions as it's supposed to. Also, for people on T-Mobile, they have the option for wifi calling. wifi calling is not an option in AOSP based ROMs. You can also link your FB contact information with TW based ROMs, it's not support in AOSP.

Not saying one is better than the other, but it all comes down to personal preference. Are you looking for a pure Android experience with a lot of customization, no bloat, but still have some kinks here or there?

Or are you looking for a 100% stable ROM with options for Wifi calling, FB integration and some carrier specific and Samsung specific app's?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
For me at least it's stability. The fc's and sod on every jb rom I've tried was a killer. Got to work late twice last week because my phone decided to sleep in longer than me. Everything just works with darkside and I know a lot of ppl that need it would agree is wifi calling. I can debloat my phone from everything I don't use while using nova prime and really not tell a difference with cm/aokp til I go into the setting that are just for those roms. Which to me isnt really a big lose compared to knowing my phone isn't going to shut off or freeze when I unlock. Don't get me me wrong though a stable cm or aokp is like wow nice.. but the battery drainage is also like wow I only used you for like 4 hrs and I need a charger....

Edit I quoted the wrong person lol quote was to chan1628
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chicohonda91:
Will the crt option be available on this rom or a flashablr zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
A Fair Question.

Fair question, no one should flame you for asking.

Overall stability, I LOVE CM but there isn't as much stability as a modded stock. Basically, the stock has EVERYTHING the ROM needs for the phone. CM build it from the ground up. Are AOSP or CM stable? Not at first but eventually it levels out.

There is, of course, the WIFI calling. It REALLY helps some people, and me when I travel.

Also, some games won't play with CM loaded. MC3 gave me a message saying I needed to purchase the game...I already did.

Honestly, I love the features and smoothness of CM. As for a DD I tend to stick with a modded stock. AOSP/CM are a major contribution to the community, but not stable enough for a DD.

Maybe TDJ will find a way to include of lot of features from CM and AOSP into the stock ROMs, like the awesome lock screen. AOPS and CM don't offer anything I have to have to live, and WIFI calling is a large consideration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtymindedx:
Just came over after seeing the pre-release goodness. This rom is smooth as stated and super stable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chan1628:
The fact that I got so many responses in such a short time really shows how much this ROM is appreciated by many users

thanks for all the input everyone.... and it did give me a better idea regarding this modded stock vs. AOSP/AOKP

and yes... of course I'm going to flash v4 to test it out... this was a given even before I asked.... but the extra inputs are really appreciated

even though I have gotten very accustom to many tweaks/features that CM have given me throughout the years.... I think the one thing that will definitely sell me on this ROM is improved battery life, that is the KEY factor I'll be testing for because lets be honest... i don't want to pay for a reliable extended battery & make my phone look fatter... and I can't believe how fast the battery gets drained running CM9 (<12hrs per charge *sigh*) ... so if the battery life on v4 is significantly better, then i think i've found my new DD :victory:

once again, the XDA community showing how awesome we can be when we start with the intention to help each other :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
TDJs ROMs are known for being extremely stable with fantastic battery life. You really shouldn't have any issues whatsoever. One thing you may notice, which I notice on all T-Mobile based ROMs is the 3G symbol that shows up for the T989D variant of phone instead of the 4G. You are still getting HSPA + speeds, it's just a visual anomaly. I believe it's something that can be fixed though, I personally don't know how to do it. Other than that, it should be smooth sailing for you. Peace.
