How bout the radio specific thread? I linked only OP, but it's a thread. Also, more updates coming tomorrow so newer ones should get posted add well use only ICS radios.

Also TDJs SourceForge page has a radio section there maybe even more there.

It's essentially dropping you to the 2g (supposed to be 3g but when I have seen people throttled speeds when throttled are essentially 2g speeds). This is done to make you really want to upgrade your data package. From money making perspective they want you as slow as possible when throttled.

Also could look around I have seen mods and edits to system that supposedly can stop throttling(have not needed to worry bout it myself)

All what i listen here is complain, common guys how many of you made a donation???? Hello my respect to TDJ who has a life like everyone here not just develope for u...... if you already use the stock rom you have to wait from google another update WAIT .... TDJ God bless you to try to make some slammer happy like me we know bugs always happen...... My personal opinion take your time when you release the another fix dont desperate

Personally I'm going to continue to use v4 with his kernel. I'm getting great battery life, smooth as a baby bottoms performance, and zero issues. Great work man. I'm sure a little fine tuning is all we need.

Anyone with complaints can just go screw the pooch so to speak
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Some good points stock updates are actually Google th en manufacturer does their work (done and done) but carrier then is responsible for OTA released.

KIES may offer update now as it is ready but they may be forced to wait until T-Mobile releases it OTA style by some agreement or other restriction.

I do agree people need to read and try to solve issues themselves first. Dunno why they think their errors are unique and TDJ lives only to develop and answer questions.

Kinda redundant to complain too much when they don't read things to begin with ROFL. Is why I only point out the documentation or thread has answers in specific replies.

Also I dont know how many bands tmo has but they say they have fast 4g HSPA+

but i know that is just really fast 3G so maybe tmo ONLY has 2g that they call edge and 3g that they call 4g since its so fast and to sell more

Um read up on android dude is always that way until you remount your storage. That is why you have to root your phone for super user (administrator) access.

Try downloading remount from market or use root capable file explorer. Many free ones like root explorer. Sorry that's paid ES File Explorer is not (should be estrong on market if not found by ES just search root file manager.

You really should read stickied newbies posts in dev and q&a sections before continuing anything and/or asking questions prolly.

An oc kernel for the Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket for ics was released , any plans on maybe porting it? Could be a possible fix for keyboard lag on ics ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Yes and no. 3G and 4G don't refer to any specific technology. Granted, 3G is HSPA for all GSM carriers. The original "4G" on Sprint was a technology similar to wimax...now most of the big carriers use LTE networks. Older HSPA devices don't support HSPA+, so T-Mobile calls HSPA+ "4G," and it's oftentimes on-par with other carriers' 4G tech...whether it be LTE or otherwise. Outside at home and everywhere near where I work I can get ~20Mb/s downloads on HSPA+. That's pretty fast.

That said, all the off-topic posts and people complaining about complainers aren't really doing much to make this thread any easier to use. :p

First off I must give props to thederekjay:

Amazing ROM! I know of three T-Mobile store managers who all have the SGH-T989 and are running thederekjay's Darkside ICS ROMs. Not one of them has had a single complaint. This ROM is truly a work of art.

I have not tried the ROM myself as the only T989 that I have is an important part of my work and I cannot risk anything strange like an inaccurate GPS . . .

Can someone please provide me with information as to what is not working out of the box and if there are any patches to fix the aforementioned?

I would greatly appreciate any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dexster:
Well Right now its hard to say we rolling threw ROMs fast fixing bugs right now with v5 everything SHOULD be world as good as v1 TMO-UVLE1 Official Release
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capt-CDD:
I am using UVLC8. UVLE1 took a long long time for GPS lock, and showed lower signal. Since switching to UVLC8 GPS and sig are great, highest speed net test i have ever had.

If I can add, that is the only issue I have had with V4 release. I have not had lag, keyboard or otherwise. All programs open quickly and all interface gestures and been smooth and quick. SMS works great and all voice functions work great. I have not tried wifi calling but tethering and gps tethering work well. Bluetooth and HD vid are amazing and no camera issues. Battery life is 20 -30 % better than any of the leak mods I tried.

Outstanding Job TDJ!!! If it is all the same to you I'll stay with your V4 and Venom till you get the kernel tweaked cause it is working great for me. Beers to you..

Do i have to flash a radio also? I updated my phone thru kies to 4.0.3 officialy yesterday , i dont think i have to flash a radio also right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vzqsmooth56:
Yes you must flash the moded radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
if you used kies. you wouldn't need to update the radio because yours is already updated.

Yea updated thru kies to uvle1 , just to confirm, i dont have to flash radio right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
The OP says to flash the MODIFIED radio if you don't want any problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
Correct. If you have already updated via kies which is stock ROM and radio then you do not have to update/flash the radio in the OP post. However if you decide to try other radios later then you should only use the radios in the OP post.

He already has the stock radio installed so he does not have to flash the modified radios.

Houston Med. Cntr. Area UVLE1 on v4 been running very smoothly no problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Iv'e been running V4 since the release and reporting zero issues until yesterday I also started to experience the unresponsive apps every once in a while and some calls I made got hung up while dialing and never connected the call on my end, the person i called could hear me though, I guess for me it took a few days :(

Flashed V5 last night and set it up and went through all the apps and ran them for a while (my wife thinks I'm going nuts with all this flashing and testing) and so far everything is fine. Not sure if it's just me but scrolling quickly through Contacts and TB for example is much smoother, ROM is opening apps faster and just seems more responsive overall and calls are connecting right away.

So far i would say on my phone this V5 is working much better than any other previous version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dmxthanos:
I am having a problem. I followed the instructions precisely and am getting reboot and shutdown hangs. Everytime I power down the phone or reboot it, the screen goes black but the backlights stay on. The only thing I can do is take the battery out and put it back in. I've tried the cache thing that was in the instructions but that did not work. Anybody have any suggestions? I usually turn my phone off to charge it but since those reboot and shutdown hangs are present it's causing problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

OP said to flash one of the modded radios. I would do it, OP says the modded radios have the correct RILs to run with the MOD, some say if you flashed through KIES, it will work. You're call but I flashed modded, ULVE1 then ULVC8. Flashing radios is easy, no super wipe involved and all of your settings and apps. remain intact.

Just to reenforce what I said in previous post..Not sure if this affects shutdown, I have never had the problem. From OP:

**I HAVE REMOVED THE RILS FROM THESE RADIOS! PLEASE USE THESE RADIOS IF YOU WANT GPS AND DATA TO WORK WITHOUT ISSUE! PLEASE DONT REPORT ANY DATA/GPS LOSS IF ON ANY OTHER RADIO BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW**

first version of the modded Kernal

I'm running V2 of this Rom never moved on because V3 had issues etc etc..

although not amazing.. it's definitely substantially better than the stock battery life.. the playing around is done"honeymoon is over" .. and I'm in a cycle of using my phone like i normally would.. get up in the morning place phone in leather case on my hip .. get in car put phone in holder plug into charger .. turn on data and GPS check traffic .. i don't need directions .. just a FYI on the slow spots and how long my trip will be .. turn on Pandora listen on my way .. about 1+ hours.. still checking periodically on my way for traffic issues etc.. K. get to work turn off DATA and GPS put back on my hip..during work i'm working.. not playing on the phone.. but i do check e-mails and Facebook 2-3 times a day at work .. and thats wi-fi on check everything and turn back off and back on my hip.. then back in the car and repeat my trip just like on the way .. data GPS and plugged in by the time i arrive home i still have 92 - 97 % at the low point i'm down to 80% before driving home..

once at home i will play around with the phone on and off play some games etc on WI-fi of course and use it pretty heavy and bring it down to 65 -70% sometimes lower .. depends on what's going on with the Family i have 6 yr old twins.. so i don't just play games on my phone "i take a few pictures" LOL ... i sometimes plug it in to charge it when going to bed but sometimes i will forget and start the next day off with 60% and use the car charger to recoup another 10% either way my point is if your not constantly screwing around with you phone and just are using it for mostly a phone.. checking on things throughout the day etc.. you will never once run out of Juice...

and when this phone is in a sleep mode "not touching it" check the battery and it will have only dropped like 1% in 2 hours.. so it knows how to conserve power when just in your pocket..

so for me V1 of the Venom Kernal and V2 of the Rom.. they came together of course.. i'm using the LC8 radio but i don't think it's the modded one .. if it is it was from a earlier posting and the file name does not have the word mod in it...

even at that .. no issues with GPS .. locks on fine etc.. and no other issues in general..

and i will be glad to jump the the finished product .. i think if anyone can do it kernel an all TDJ can.. :D

since its few problems going on with some people....im preatty stable on V4...the question is ...TDJ you sugest to update to v5 now or maybe wait on v6? i havent notice any problems on v4

i think like this....it really depends on what you use your phone for right? maybe some of the functions that people are having problems if i try i will get the same, but for what i use my phone the v4 its fine, i basicaly use for phone calls text msg's and my facebook stay on all day...lol....and i use the camera alot,and the music player when im at the gym....GPS sometimes....and i have no problem on v4 for those options right there!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
A lot of issues beige reported are user related. There were some legitimate issues with busybox and su binary. The venom kernel, well I didn't experience a lot of the issues being described as a kernel related issues. I kinda know about these kernels and I will make the proper adjustments and release it. I am not as familiar with the 3.0.8 mainline as I was with previous kernel mainline. So I will take whatever time I can find and work on it. I am so disgusted by how much of a critic people have become. Takes the wind out of my sail with some of the stuff I have been reading. Oh well my device will always run good ;)

TDJ, I agree I believe many of these problems are self inflected wounds. So here is a fresh breeze for you sails.This ROM is great. I have been doing this since G-1 days and your roms have been painless compared to many, and performance is amazing. I had a few minor glitches on the leak but this release has been phenomenal, with none of the problems mentioned so far. Easily and is now a DD. My phone will always run well to as long as you develop. Hopefully for me Samsung won't offer you a job, dejavu.. Donation made while writing this. Fair winds my friend...

Great Development! One minor thing...

First I have to say, awesome development thederekjay. I've been using your darkside 4.0.4 rom for a while now with little to no issues. After moving back to 4.0.3 for the official bases, there was one minor thing I missed about the 4.0.4 rom. It's mostly an aesthetics thing, but it pertains to the size of the pattern to unlock screen. On 4.0.4 it was the perfect size having thin lines and small circles. On 4.0.3, it's reminiscent of gingerbread being too big and bloated, and the size sometimes makes it harder to draw the pattern. If it's possible to port the 4.0.4 pattern unlock over to 4.0.3, that would be very helpful. Otherwise everything is running better on here. No wifi or gps issues here whatsoever. Keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Raistline:
Your work is very appreciated, I am looking nearly daily for you next update. I recently went through having to replace my phone and upon getting it went right to V4. I had the Busybox issues and no matter what SU app I could not get Titanium to work, it scared the crap out of me thinking I had that the Insurance company was putting a HW lock on the device until I posted my issue and found others were having the same. Since I cannot live with bloat, I just moved back to Beta 2V3, only copy I had and am as happy as a clam.

I apologize if this has been asked before but does V5 resolve the SU/busybox issue or is it still present. I have read the forums but either missed the answer or just cannot find it. If it is resolved I will be jumping all over V5 so I can get the all the missed updates and tweaks.

Great Job Again TJD. loving your work.

P.S.

Please don't flame someone just for reporting a bug. The forums are not only for praising the devs but also to report bugs to help the devs find and fix it. Isn't this why people are making custom ROMs in the first place? To find and fix bugs, add tweak and missing features to fix the original stock ROM or even create a custom user experience so that we can all get the most out of our phones.
