everything good in v8 for me except suddenly wifi tether from google codes gives "tethering started but with errors" if I dont choose "generic ICS" profile. also hotspot from tmobile gives me the upsell page. google chrome works if i change user agent but tell me if theres a version of wifi tether that works.

I use Go SMS, it has an option to enable or disable screen-on for text notifications. Thankfully there's also an SGS2 theme available for it because I like the look of the stock messaging app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jvnat:
I did a search and didn't see anything come up for this. I just installed v8 onto our TMo SGS2. I ran darkside full wipe before, installed rom and ran cache wipe after. After reboot, I let it sit for 10 minute and then rebooted per OP. Things seem to be working, except the video player. Everytime I try to watch a video, it gives me an error of "Not enough memory". I haven't put things on the internal sdcard or external card so I know there's space. Any idea what it might be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dab231:
Interesting observation... I've noticed that when I flash touch of color theme it breaks the noisecancelling on this rom. In other words people calling me can hear their own voices. I can confirm this doesnt happen with color series ics blue stock tw lock. Very strange, let me know if anyone else duplicates this issue.

Try factory reset followed by wiping cache/dalvik system and data a few times manually then try a darkside wipe followed by fresh install. Cleared up most issues for me. Loving this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kmacneil3:
Use ROM Toolbox or system tuner and freeze the wifi sharing manager process. Then just use the built in mobile hotspot feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
TBP will also freeze this, in pro version only fyi.

Read Devs post #7111 You have to use Blinking Light Control and Light Flow Lite off the market together to get it to work for SMS. I did it and although a little wonky it worked. I took it down because it seemed like a lot of OH for a feature that was just going to suck my battery down anyway. Cheers

Press Power and Home or Power and Volume for 2 sec. and you got it. They both worked for me. Cheers

How do I know what radio works for me? & How do i flash the radio?

Sorry if this is covered somewhere on this thread... i could not find it.

T-Mobile Galaxy S II - T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
To my knowledge, this is correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
Firstly, download and install both OP radios to your phone, boot into recovery and just flash a radio, after flash, reboot. Then go into phone dialer, press *#*#2263#*#* and select auto. The only way to find out is to install and test it, not every radio works for every phone or area, so no specific radio is better then another. I find LC8 works better for me, south central Texas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jvnat:
I'll try to wipe everything and reinstall the ROM again tonight. I thought that the darkside super wipe cleared everything, including the internal sdcard? I noticed that there were folders still on the internal sdcard (not external sdcard) from the previous install. Do I have to format it from recovery or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chirojunkie:
Been running v8 for a couple days now with no problems. Everything is smooth as butter. Thinking I need to find a cool theme now ;-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbymokie:
No, don't format the internal sd. Bad idea. Super wipe wipes all that needs wiping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jvnat:
But I ran a superwipe before installing the rom and the rom itself should have run a superwipe before installing. After installing, I noticed that folders from the previous rom was still there from previous apps that I hadn't installed yet. Something didn't work right then. A factory reset maybe? And why is it a bad idea to format the internal sd from within the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
Super wipe does not and is not supposed to wipe your SD card. If you're worried about those folders then back up your files and format them from the storage settings within the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aosimon:
Actually I have Handcent running without the stock SMS... I remember uninstalling or freezing it from TBU. I should double-check...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
The rom will flash rils so there's no point in having them attatched to the radio
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
For those having issues sending mms over WiFi try Samsung's fix...open gmail with the account registered to your phone. Send an email with a pic attached to yourself while connected to WiFi. You should get it quickly. Now try to send an mms to yourself. Should go through. If that doesn't work, turn WiFi off, then turn data off, WiFi back on, and try again.

If that doesn't work dunno what to tell you.

seems that no matter how many times i reset/clear/wipe and no matter what ways or recovery i use to install this I have issues.

hanging, freezing, every day or two I get random battery drain (even while watching for wakelocks/app drain) nothing to explain it.

notification bar wont pull down sometimes, camera wont open sometimes, wont record sometimes, and wont flip to front facing camera sometimes.

Any idea what I can try?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
But the rotation fix baked into the ROM's changes the rotation by 90 degrees. So there is a possibility that the kernel made for our phone will start out with the rotation correct but the rotation fix being there also would then throw the rotation off by 90 degrees. I am not saying it will happen, i am just wondering if that is even a possibility. If the rotation fix was made part of the kernel that is in the ROM now then NO it won't happen because it will be overwritten by the new kernel, but if it is baked into the ROM somewhere else it could affect the rotation negatively.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Just flashed the kernel and idk but it sem like the screen is a lil clearer now it might just be me but its smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Okay i get what your saying yea i think your right it broke the rotation on the nexusmod rom and also no haptic feeback now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MR2-MiKe:
@TDJ - The fact that your rom worked flawlessly out out of the box is awesome. +1 for a great dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Clearer samsung probably changed the screen calibration. For our phones Since all the complains about lines. Also call echo should be gone.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

Isn't nexus mod based on skyrocket? For things would most likely have to be adjusted now that you are using a proper kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
I can confirm flashing the leaked kernel does break the auto rotation fix. Time to restore backup. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hookoo:
Seems your suspicions are correct. Screen rotation is off 90 degrees after flashing the kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
or just not use the auto rotation fix ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I hope we get an odin package. I would rather flash it and take out stuff myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
I think it must be that the rotation fix is a script that runs post boot.

EDIT: I am pretty sure TDJ will tweak this stock kernel and we will see an updated ROM in the near future.

I haven't had a lot of experience with this issue. Try different radios or checking your APN settings. Maybe a 3rd party messaging app if you're on stock, or vice versa. If you haven't done a Darkside cache wipe, it can't hurt to try that out.

TDJ... Thanks home slice for your contributions! I will be a hypocrite now but I digress!

I can tell how xda in general has changed over the years. I've been reading since 2006 and joined in 08. It's become worse and worse. So many off topic posts and ego trips defile threads that were once intended for development.

Users would once upon a time get one or two warnings from a moderator and then get slapped with a suspension and repeaters would get banned. But not anymore.

It use to be ALL about developing and hacking. Now I feel like too many immature people are here and the mods don't crack down enough to get rid of the idiots.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Agreed. There's too much noise to find any useful information. Folks, don't post problems in development threads just because you happen to be running that ROM. The ROM developer doesn't need to hear about every little issue and question you have, and they certainly don't need to hear idle conversations about nothing.

If you think you've found an actual bug then by all means figure out the steps to take to reproduce it (or at least a concise description of the issue) and report it in the development thread. That includes re-downloading the ROM, checking the MD5, and re-flashing without restoring any data from a backup and checking to see if the issue still exists.

If you have an app crashing or something not working don't just go to the dev thread and post about it. You're screwing around with your phone's OS. You're going to see problems here and there. Don't post in the dev thread until you've confirmed that it's a bug with the ROM and not unique to your current flash/configuration. Dev threads are not help or advice threads. Those are in the General section.

I understand that people need help with things, but posting all of that stuff here makes a huge mess and frustrates people. There are other threads/sections that are precisely for asking questions and getting help. It's not about breaking the rules...it's about causing headaches for people that are trying to use the dev thread for what it's for.

/rant

Since others aren't having these issues and you've tried wiping and re-downloading (did you check the MD5? are you restoring settings from a backup?) it's not the ROM. I'd try going back to stock and see if you still have problems. It could be a problem with your phone or your external SD card. I've seen incompatible SD cards cause wacky lock-ups and such in the past.
