Anybody has issue with battery temperature heating? This rom tends to get warm quickly for me. Just wondering whether this issue can be recognized, addressed, or solved in future releases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
It's been talked about numerous times. It's believed to be certain radios doing that to some phones.

I totally appreciate tdj's hard work, as I'm sure he does, but I can see his point. Sometimes we just get mod happy and flash out delete something we shouldn't. Would be nice to just flash the ROM over our screw up. But it's the Dev's hard work that got us here, so I happily do it his way. Could always learn how to edit the zip first, this might help

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
If you are concerned about minor incremental updates and having to wipe and start all over again, why don't you just accept the auto wipe flash and use Advance Restore in Nandroid to bring back your Data partition (from the immediate previous beta that you set up from scratch). On a very MINOR update, all things being equal, a data partition restore from nandroid should just drop right in--it would act almost exactly like flashing over the top with no wipe. Yes, you would have to bring back your sms/mms, and call logs, and reset up your home screen; but appextrator (free) will bring back your sms/mms, call logs backup for your phone logs, and apex restore (or whatever launcher your use) to get back your home screen, and all is good--in a very short amount of time.

Again, this technique ONLY works with MINOR incremental updates for the fastest method. On bigger updates, I use Rom Toolbox Pro to extract the apps from a nandroid backup and reconfigure from there.

This thread is already messy as hell as people refuse to read the OP and then post messages in direct contradiction to the instructions clearly listed. The super wipe only cuts down on the idiotic questions slightly. I could only imagine the Hell this thread would turn too if we all simply flashed over top.

First off.i want to ty for making some badass roms. I tried updating 3 days ago with no data, then when i checked back u had the blaze update, so i tried that today but Data still not working for me, everything else works and looks great. im on a AT&T sim.

Reverted back to evolution 2b2 with blaze and everything is good. But i like the way the update looks, i followed your directions to a T, what else can i try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
Whats the differences in the radios of LB7 KID and VK1? I know in the OP that it is best to flash the radio before the rom. So would it hurt any to flash either KID or VK1 after the phone has already been setup with LB7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
So let me get this straight. The auto wipe was added to help with the fact that people are idiots and don't know how to flash a rom properly ( or read op for that matter) so in order to substantially reduce the amount of people flooding the thread with random issues not reproducible in a controlled environment, you force a wipe. Understandable. I GET THAT. but for those of us who know what were doing an option to add a flag to bypass super wipe would be amazing.

Its whatever. Its clear tdj has no intention of adding such a simple request. Just stating my pov and its clear I'm not the only person on my side of the fence. And you know it too tdj. I've been a long time follower of phones officially supported by cyanogenmod. (The tmo gs2 being the first one that doesn't) Nightlies. Full proof that minor changes break nothing. **** even flashing release candidates between eachother caused no issues. But.. I digress. I'll just update once a week or something. Thanks for your hard work. Either ways its the best ics from currently so I'll just bite the bullet. :-/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
Dude if you reallly don't want the zip to wipe your device, just edit the update script in the zip and remove the lines that do so. Not hard . But it was not an arbitrary decision to include the full wipe and if you have any issues after flashing and restoring it's harder to diagnose the problem and determine whether there's a bug in the ROM, your old data, or in the way your old data was restored. So good luck.

Strong sense of entitlement u got here...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheSeanTeam:
If its so easy why not do it yourself? Why not create a wipe free version so you and all those many people on your side of the fence can enjoy all the benefits you believe you can get from such a version. I'm sure you or "those of us who know what were doing" can whip it up no problem, right?

Get off your high horse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Its not entitlement.. don't mean to come off as douche as much as I want to.. but like I said all my previous android devices minus the tmo gs2 fully supported cyanogenmod. When you run night lies you don't fully wipe with every release. You cache and davik wipe, flash the nightly and you're on your way. Its not "entitlement" when millions of users flash the most popular rom in the world in this fashion with no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Yea troll harder. At what point did I mention that I can dev up a file or even remove a file from a rom zip? Never. I merely stated the fact that IF YOU FOLLOW OP TO A TEE YOU WILL HAVE NO ISSUES. lol funny how easily people get insecure. I'll stop replying now before I start a flame war and get banned for another month. I guess it is a good idea to keep a full wipe in the rom.. to avoid idiocy from people like this. WHO CANT READ ;)

so much drama about these wipes..........

when i went from gb to ics, google play was nice enough to start downloading all my apps that were ics compatible, next time i'll use tibackup to make that process go a bit faster. i did use tibackup to bring back my data for some of the games i play so i didn't lose my progress. looking now and handcent can backup my messages if i have an account and someone mentioned appextractor that i might try as well. also looked and go launcher ex can backup settings as well.

i don't expect to have to spend 3 hours toying around with my phone(mainly poking around ics and seeing what's available) when i upgrade from beta04 to the next darkside beta down the line but i know it won't be as simple as flashing a new rom version and doing a simple restore-that's why i didn't get into darkside ics until beta04 when most everything was working and toggles were already baked in. i too don't have time to play with my phone all the time as someone mentioned but i do enjoy making it my own with a custom rom-all the backup/restore is just part of the process and the price you pay for getting to run an updated/improved os on your phone. nobody ever said it would be easy to stay ahead of the pack and those folks still stuck on gb.

thanks again tdj for a great rom.....will probably flash beta 06/07 or whatever is available this coming weekend.....the stable beta04 will be my dd for the week.

quick question: does the battery have to be recalibrated for every flash or is there a shortcut to doing this? just began calibrating mine(need to let it run all the way out now) for the first time in the 2 months i've had this phone.

I just wanted to report that car dock audio bug is still present in this latest beta. Seems to be the case on all ROMs with an ATT leak base. The ROMs based on the T-Mobile leak don't have this bug.

For clarity.. the bug is that when you have the phone docked in the OEM Samsung car dock, and the external audio routing option is selected..the volume is barely audible even with all volumes maxed out. Plugging the audio cable directly into the headphone jack sounds normal however.

Not a huge deal, but a bug all the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Stargazer3777:
Thank you, I mentioned it a while back, during the radio fiasco, but it was pretty low on the totem pole at that point. Good to know that the T-Mo leaked bases are not having this issue, and we just have to wait out the official. VERY small price to pay for the slickness that is this ROM.

People dont read the information I provide in its entirety. Some people only read what they feel is important.

"I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions..."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
That is my point, if people are expected to not read the instructions, and a nowipe option is buried in the instructions, wouldn't the natural expectation be that no one would read it? You do what you have/want to, it is your thread and your rom. I am just pointing out the flaws in the logic used to argue against giving us the choice. I'm pretty sure b5 is going to hold me till an AOSP ROM is ready for prime time, so I don't really care if you listen or not. I just like choices, and feel advanced users should be given the ability to knock a good ten minutes of backing up and restoring with every little bugfix. Otherwise, it would appear you are coddling the newbs at the expense of the old timers. And we old timers get upset when the restrictions put in place to keep the newbs in check end up making our experience less convenient.

I'm having a hell of a time playin with ICS rom's compared with older stuff. I was making rom's just as I wanted but its not so easy now. By the time I get ICS figured out JellyBean will be out lol. By the way the only time I've had a problem on Derick's ICS rom's is when I did change things so it would not wipe.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tester420:
Must say, valid points from both sides. TDJ's approach caters to wider audience. The individual requesting no wipe feature is also right from his perspective as a power user who wants more options and control.

Sometimes it can be difficult to strike a balance between flexibility and reliability. Plus, people's approach and preferences play a large role as well.

So, to the power user, just mod whatever you wish to get your desired result. As with anything, If you really want it, you'd have to invest some time and effort; right? I don't like some stock/rom icons. So, I created my own and mod the systemui.apk after rom update. Yes, after every update! You can do so similarly and No one can stop you. :)

And to TDJ, you should know we appreciate your time and effort in producing these roms as we exercise the choice to flash your modifications on our phones :)

Now, if I can only figure out which radio works the best for the majority of population here.

Have fun!
