But on another note. I totally forgot how perfect v8 is. Man, I seriously might just stick with this, unless tdj works his magic on a kernel for 4.0.4. A lot smoother and crispier than the immitators and none of their bugs.

So i just did some searching and digging about NFC ... it looks pretty straight forward since this feature is already included in this ROM

I installed NFC TagInfo and tried to scan the paypass on my mastercard, but nothing happened

I've read results from other users in this thread that say they're successful in using NFC ... am I doing something wrong?

i mean, isn't it as simple as enabling NFC, launching TagInfo and scanning my credit card?

i've tried other cards, but nothing worked.... is there something else i can try to scan?

Is it a canadian thing w/ our credit cards? i really can't imagine it to be....

any suggestions?

Actually, I was just tryin to use NFC TagInfo to see if it can read info off my credit card .... i wasn't tryin to setup mobile payments or anything like that....

I'm just tryin to see some results that NFC works on my phone ... but since i dont have another NFC-enabled device to test with... i'm not sure if any of my testing methods were even valid to begin with ... i just thought i would tap my mastercard onto my phone and it would scan something.. guess i was wrong

so in theory, if my friends have the same phone... and we're both running this ROM ....

then can the 2 phones just "beam" any back and forth to each other?

this is all very new to me... i guess i haven't read up enuf on this technology yet

Being able to uc/oc is the ****. Also, YouTube HD has no lag what so ever, because I can set a profile for it through set CPU. Plus the overall stability and smoothness. Don't get me wrong, I love v4, but no custom kernel is a no go in my book. I actually might just stick with v8 permanently.

Yo what does that governor do!!?? Cant find any info on it from Google.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Also forgot to mention v8 is a battery saver like none other. The immitators will claim superior speeds with better battery. BS! Once you their rom for even 30 minutes, your battery is drained to death. Where as with the dark side its a lot smarter with the way it distributes power, so you can use your phone a lot longer with minimal battery drain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 1080Mhz and therefore use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 1080MHz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1350MHz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing).

First hit in google search was an xda link containing the above. ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Just an update for the rom dev here about the cpu being stuck at 1200mhz, i haqve done some playing and research, it looks like mpdecision forces cpu0 to max 1200mhx unless core 2 is active and then the system is allowed to use the full potention of the cpu freq table. this may actually be by design and is not infact a bug, to further help the device save power and battery when its only being lightly used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:

So what does this asahma guy have that yall was trying to get a system dump from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
Haven't been running it but for about 4 hours today but the battery does seem to be better. Was laggy until turning on forced gpu rendering. Running like a champ now.

I just changed batteries not too long ago but according to cpuspy you are right on the money. Haven't had a chance to throw anything real intensive at it yet, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
its not mpdecisions fault either, the only reason you have to disable it to test this is because it will aggressively shut cpu1 off because its un needed and once cpu1 goes down the max freq is dropped to 1200mhz and will not allow 1500mhz untill cpu1 comes back on line.

I am fairly sure this is by design and may be hard coded into the kernel its self.

all users can not worry when you need that extra 300mhz the device will allow you to use it. this does not effect performance. because when the device is under full load both cores will be on and the max freq will be 1500mhz.

hi all

wanted to try this rom so i followed instruction to the teeth and installed. i guess it must have been a bad install. can't access recovery via rom manager nor via hard buttons.

am i missing something or is there no recovery and download in power menu? kindly advise. thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thedark1337:
he hasn't added that in to the rom yet. The only way to get to recovery is with holding down both the volume up and down at the same time while pressing the power button to turn it on. You should have either CWR or TWRP installed for a recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] angellsl:
Not being picky, but your statement is not entire true.

You can boot into recovery via a ternimal by "reboot recovery" if I remember correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Ok, I lied. Flashed back to v4 again. For some reason awesome beats only works perfectly on 4.0.4. I missed that too much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krayvon:
actually just to clarify this, he has added reboot option.

its under widgets. you can access it either by pulling down the notification bar or by quick pane in app drawer. thanks for sharing though :laugh:

i am liking this rom so far. its kinda hard to get use to the interface after being on aokp and cm9 for some time :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Good lookin on that info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] angellsl:
To avoid excessively wearing my power button, I use "Tap Tap App" to turn on and off screen, v8 works perfectly, but in the latest version (v0), after I turn off the screen, the screen always turns off and right turns back on, this also happens to the stock ics 4.0.4 as well.

Is this something related to ICS 4.0.4?

Anybody else uses "Tap Tap App", it's a great app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krayvon:
!

just out of curiosity, where u were on ics stock, did you flash any kernels?

also, what recovery are you using? its strongly recommended to use TWRP 2.2.2 with this rom. i recommend you use a full wipe then do a clean flash. share with us your experience. thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Confirmed, awesome beats works PERFECTLY on 4.0.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tankrat:
If you installed twrp you had to install goo manager, in goo manager app, icon labeled goo.im there is reboot to recovery option
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] angellsl:
I got my phone around 10 days ago, upgrade to ics 4.0.3, everything seems ok, "Tap Tap App" is working, but some lags.

I didn't flash any kernel for the tmobile ics 4.0.4, which I updated using kies. Some lags, and "Tap Tap App" is not working

Then I flashed cm9.1 with cwm 5.0.2.7 after a full wipe, unfortunately cm9.1 didn't satisfy me because it has no wifi calling:(. I didn't use "Tap Tap App", but cm9.1 has volume wake and a screen off widget built-in.

Then I flashed darkside.evolution.4 v0, using cwm5.0.2.7 with a super wipe inside the ROM zip file. It has wifi calling, great, but there were some lags after I loaded all my apps when I swipe from screen to screen. I had to install the "GO launcher". "Tap Tap App" is not working either.

Last night, I flashed darkside.evoluation.3 v8, using cwm5.0.2.7 with a super wipe inside this ROM zip file. Everything is perfect now. But there is no BLN.

No doubt, v8 is the best of all ROMs for me. I deeply hope the next release will be better. Really appreciate the hard work TDJ has done.

To your questions

I don't think recovery makes much difference in my case, thanks for your advise, will probably try other recovery in the future.

Full wipe is always for me when I flash different ROMs, just wipe /system /data /cache, etc. I think the super wipe built in the darkside ROM zip file is great.

To my concern.

If the next release can put a widget to turn off the screen, and volume wake to turn on the screen, I'll not have to use "Tap Tap App"

I really don't like pressing my power button every time I turn on/off the screen.

Just my two cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tankrat:
I wish everybody calmed the hell down about bln, scrollable wallpaper, reboot recovery, and other things.

Prerelease means here is the new ROM not finished yet.

I'm sitting here reading everybody's posts about what doesn't work or not included. TDJ has stated that once he gets his new phone that he'll get v1 out soon as he can. if people bothered to read the posts from the date of v0 released you would know this.

I'm happy to wait for TDJ because I know he is busy with life and certain things just get in the way.

Enough on my rant....

TDJ this evo4 I'd the best ROM yet I watched streaming video over wifi for over 8 hours and still had 60% on my seidio ext battery. I used about 30% on 4g over 5 hours using uvlh1 radio doing the same thing.

Thanks please keep doing the awesome work that in my opinion blows the other devs out of the water.
