Great ROMO

I have followed the instructions in the [OP] and I have been running this ROM for the last 24 hours with no issues. I had 20 hours of battery life on my first cycle. I'm finishing charging it now. I don't have any lag. I have installed the BLN Control Pro and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't because I understand that the kernel is still in Alpha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
I don't want to go against TDJ, I've been real busy and have had no chance to flash V2 thru V4, still on V1, no issues, battery life, amazing. It took T-mobile months I bet to develop their kernel, lets all give TDJ some more time to develop his. At the end, I'm confident TDJ's will be the superior kernel. :D

Incoming from Juggs 5.0 and ready to pull the trigger but will wait for another release. I am a basic skilled rooter and lack the confidence to deal with some of the problems that remain. However, I remain Locked and Loaded!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sasa111:
is the issue of Apps not opening ( App icon just gets highlighted but doesnt open) issue still there on V4? I am seeing it pretty often and need to reboot. Was just wondering if i did something wrong...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
TDJ, beautiful ROM work, only noticed couple small things myself. Can't restart or shutdown in any fashion from power menu as it always freezes (same since version 3v1) even though it would work before the switch from skyrocket port in v2. On shutdown the phone does a quick vibrate like all services and tasks shutdown right but capacitive lights remain on and I have to pull battery.

Before people start up I am well aware of cache wipe and fixing permissions fixed this in v2 (not 3v2). No matter what I try or number of installs etc it freezes.

Other than that it is odd how sometimes the Swype keyboard bouncers the screen when it open and closes word choice bar (displays fine just moves screen around a bit and prolly more an app then ROM thing.

Otherwise camera is working, nice and fast, and you seen to be nailing battery drain when phone display is off (dunno if we could get auto brightness tweaked down a bit on each of its stops as it seems to be a bit brighter than needed for a given situation (not bad, just could help a little with battery usage with display on if it can be adjusted).

Thanks again for all your awesome work I love and use this as my daily driving (as opposed to like weekend testing and fun) :beer: :beer:

Nope its still here lol. I'm on v4 and it happens twice/three times a day. Thankfully this phone boots up really fast so it doesn't bother me as much. Lol. On that note my marketplace always gives me errors and I have to uninstall updates for it to work again. Not a huge bother but it is a hug I have found. Or atleast for me it's a bug lol.

I have never experienced that with any version of this ROM v4 included. Do you use a launcher app which has issues. I have no problems with ADW EX. I have also heard go launcher works great as well. Try fix perms (use flash pack or fix emissions in supercharger v6 (option in recovery does not work when it says complete right away) then clear cache and dalvick cache.

Also, NEVER restore system settings or apps (or app data) only user apps and user data.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
This ROM (especially v4) is a daily driver with no real issues, camera works. Only thing is restarts or shutdowns freeze but just pull battery I'd that happens to you. Be sure to not restore any system apps or data if you use something like titanium backup only backup user apps and data. This is based off official TMobile ICS for TMobile S2 so things like battery life rock now when they didn't before and v4 doesn't require you to flash a separate radio if you don't want to and camera and everything else app wise works straight out of the box no crazy editing.

If you run nandroid backup in recovery (before flashing a new ROM of course) then if you don't like it you can recover in recovery menu and be right back to juggs with all apps and settings you have now maintained the way you have them(desktop widgets may need to be removed and replaced back on home screen but apps will be there so that takes 2 seconds).

Hope that helps.

NOT DEREK. But, it doesn't appears to be. Here is a link addressing how to remove CIQ.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360731

supposedly the CIQ program for T-mobile is called "system application manager" or "system manager application." I didn't see it running. I check using Rom Tool Box and there is no such program. Maybe someone can confirm this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Excellent post. My power menu was acting up a bit also upon initial boot up. I would try to boot into recovery via power menu but it would just boot loop. It would show the CWM home page for a split second and then just boot the phone up normally without me hitting any buttons. A cache wipe did fix this for me however. Sorry to hear cache wipe isn't working for you in this case.

Yeah, it's an app thing and I hate it. I was actually going to try installing an AOSP messaging apk to see if it'll work on this ROM.

QFT ragarding the battery. Other ROMS seem to like to stay awake quite a bit and are a little buggy, but TDJ's ROMS always sleep nicely.

I also agree regarding the auto-brightness being a little high. I've noticed that it runs a littler brighter than in the past when I'm reviewing the battery stats on my various battery apps. For example, in the past I'd have most of my screen activity on the Dim/Medium range but in the last couple of builds the screen likes to hover around the Medium/Light range while under similar usage (at home in dim rooms and in the office under artificial lighting). I know the pic below (Badass Battery) is only 25min of screen time but these results will stay fairly constant throughout the battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PrjmeTjme:
How do you restore "user" data only in apps? I don't see that option in TB, should I be using something else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Sounds like you need to fix perms (with a flash pack not menu option) clear cache and dalvick cache and restart. Also, if you restored ANY system apps, settings, and/or system data with a recovery app like titanium that could be causing you weird issues be sure to do user apps and data only. Also, original super user app seg faults so try chainfire super su (use recovery flash zip available on XDA) it will replace original super user then on boot open super su and accept the your binary needs to be updated before trying root apps.

I am having exactly the same problem after re downloading and flashing multiple times. Apps won't start but it shows them being selected. This is usually followed by my home button not working also.

My Bluetooth won't even start, only after multiple reboots and cache clearing. But then it freezes I have to restart and then Bluetooth gets stuck turning on again. I have also flashed both Ics radios listed.

I have the original launcher that was bundled with the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Tap filter icon in upper right corner (looks like a funnel) and check only user apps only and apply then open batch menu. That's the problem especially if you restored gingerbread system apps and data you prolly need a reflash and then to not restore anything system related.

I saw that when i was at work looking around to see if i can find a work around about the issue. i am going to flash a more current version of Busy Box....but need to make a Nandroid just in case first. Derek usually uses certain components for various reasons, but it doesn't hurt to test a few things.

And its weird.....it says S-ON. Doesn't that mean full root is blocked on some level?

Did you clear cache after debloating?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kisoon:
Rom Toolbox

TB is a good choice. As an alternative , I use Rom Toolbox. In Rom Toolbox, select App Manager; then select the apps you wishes to restore. Select Restore from the popup window by pushing the permanent window up key. It will then give you option of restore app only or app + data.

Also, when backing up app and data with Rom Toolbox, be sure change the the storage location (select Setting and Backup Folder) to your external SD. Some ROMs will erase the data on the internal SD during install. I found out the hard way with my wife's Amaze. Boy, she was pissed.

Rom Toolbox saves me a lot of time when updating ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Hello allgamer,

Tried your suggestion at first TB displayed that it has been uninstalled. Then when I went into my app drawer it was still there. Then I went back to open TB, the app somehow came back, as if it wasn't uninstalled.

I tried the root uninstall app in the market (as suggested from one of the reply post). It didn't work either.

might be an ICS protection? but I'm not a developer.

FYI

I've noticed the same thing - it seems to clear up if you goto Swype Settings>Preferences>Word suggestion and check all of those fields. The "Select input method" keeps appearing in the notification bar every time the keyboard is opened if Swype is the default keyboard - is this by design?

I'm also curious, are the Developer Options supposed to clear after a reboot? Specifically, I have to turn on the "Stay awake" option after each reboot.

On a possibly unrelated note, does anyone else use custom APN settings? I'm fond of the legacy APN internet2.voicestream.com and today I noticed that it may no longer be available. Can anyone confirm if this has been shutdown by T-Mobile?

I do not restore apps through any tool/app. I have the Store download them automatically upon initial phone setup after booting up the ROM for the first time. That way I know everything is fresh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
The OP clearly says that UV and OC are not supported yet and to not ask about them!

TB isn't always uninstalling things properly. There is already a ton of posts about this, and answers to them. You can use root explorer with R/W mode on to remove the apps from /system/app and then reboot and they should be gone.

Some system apps like Accuweather are still hardwired into the ROM and will cause FCs in certain menus if they are removed. It is likely that MediaHub and SocialHub are like that too.

I've been able to remove Device Management and Visual Voicemail without any issues.

No freezes with apps or screen locks, system is mounted as R/W...restored all user apps with TB just fine...and after the initial flash and 10 minute wait i removed all samsung and touchwiz apps from system folder manually (no 3rd party apps) and have not had any issues. :D

Ive flashed with both TWRP and CWM using version 4 and used default launcher, apex pro and nova prime. I have used with all apps loaded brand new, no apps loaded. I have flashed properly 100%, flashed from internal sdcard, external card. I have wiped permission in twrp, ran cache wipe script within CWM. I have tried to get kernel dump logs, any logs etc etc. All these items have been done on 4 flashes in the last 3-4 days trying to get to the bottom of it.

Problems I have had no matter what I have tried:

[1] Launcher freezes

[2] Apps not responding

[3] Random reboots while device not being used, just sitting there

[4] SDcard checking for error message (have tested 2 new sdcards both brand new out of box just to insure that wasn't an issue (money out of pocket)

Right now I have logcat running continues trying to catch the sun-of-***** :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Couldn't you set CPU via ROM Toolbox? I've never used that feature, but I've noticed it in there...

Issue with MediaHub and Social Hub are most likely caused by trying to remove via Titanium. I've removed MediaHub and Social Hub on every one of TDJ's ROMs, including this one with no issues of them being linked to something else. On this ROM however, I had to remove them via ROM Toolbox since Titanium is hosed.

TB didn't remove everything.

Make sure /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so are removed using root explorer. Then try to install swype.

Also for those who complained about swype doing that suggested word jumpy jump while texting. Install the latest beta fixes the issue.

CPU usage? What is using that much CPU? Charging and WiFi certainly don't use the CPU heavily by themselves.

Use BetterBatteryStats or the system battery info to see what app is using all of that CPU and fix/get rid of the offending app.
