[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
A little update (I quoted my current problem above)...

I can now get the phone into download mode, but it promptly shuts off before I can do anything. I don't believe this is a problem with the battery because the same thing happens when the battery is out and plugged into the computer. Any suggestions? I'm stressing out...

u have a fan club now... lol

+1

I have to disagree cuz I'm not average. I check my phone over 100 times a day or more and I will never get a full day of battery. I love this rom, but as heavy as I use my phone, I get on average 8 full hours. I dont get the white text though, I get black boxes or weird black symbols in text. Usually playing a game, next time I see it, I will SS it and post.

We got our difference in opinion worked out and he said he wasn't attacking TDJ in particular. Also, didn't want to clutter up this thread with something not ROM related.

Here is the link, though, if you want to read all the drama: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622917

Gotta stand up for the best dev for this phone!!! I was over there because I am swapping carriers from T-Mo to AT&T but I still plan on running TDJ's work on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
That never happens.. in any thread. :rolleyes: It's what usually keeps somewhat of the peace and keep the thread alive.

On a side note, and somewhat unrelated but related.. can someone tell me what is the difference between touch and NON touch recovery? I googled, searched and didnt find my answer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
One you touch and the other you use buttons. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
haha... why did i already know that? Just making sure. Some of the lingo is easy, others, not so easy. I'm new to Android... was, (hate to say it.. an iphone user), but I am here to stay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
I am no dev, but with non-touch you have to use the buttons on the phone where as on the touch you don't use them at all. :p

Then it gets real tricky. I would use whatever recovery the dev of the ROM you are wanting to use tells you too. Touch recovery will cause problems with some ROM's while non-touch will cause problems with others. It can be real hit or miss. Options are a great thing most of the time but in the case of recoveries for this phone everything seems to have gotten jacked up with the more options available. Sometimes less is more!!!

I was using TWRP and having no problems with any ROM due to the fact that the cache / dalvik cache wipes and the fix permissions work as intended. People started bricking devices and it got blamed but I tend to agree with Mr. X on the subject, it was something the user was doing or else everyone that used the recovery would have a brick. Why in the hell would anyone completely wipe their phone and then try any sort of a reboot whether it be trying to boot the phone with nothing on it or back into recovery?

I swapped back to CWM non-touch for flashing BETA 06 of this ROM because it is what the flashing instructions say to use. Using it with this ROM though you will need to use the cache wipe script in the OP to wipe cache / dalvik cache and fix permissions.

The AOSP theme by Phoenix6 in the themes and apps section works. Just make sure you use the latest one. I haven't personally been on that thread in a while but it may say that is for either BETA 4 or 5 of this ROM but I flashed it on BETA 6 with no problems.

This is a must read !!!

THIS IS A MUST READ !!!

is this a rom problem, or is T-Mobile out here in NYC having some interference problems ????

today, for some reason every so often I try to make a call and instead of the call being placed I tap into other peoples conversation from around the area !!!!

HOW ****ING COOL IS THAT !!!!!!!!!!?????

I basically work with my phone ( hate the fact that GPS is not working on this great rom, but i could live with that ) and I have to make about 30 to 50 phone calls everyday...everything was working fine since I flashed BETA6 on friday...but today I tried placing a call and a conversation came on...i was thinking it was the person i was trying to reach, but the call dropped after like 15 seconds...I called back and some other conversation came on....15 seconds later that one dropped also....tried it again and some other convo...I thought it was the number i was dialing, until it happened again with another number, this time in a different area...called, 15 seconds of a conversation, call drops, tried again, same thing..........

so all day I been listening to other peoples conversation for about 15 seconds...

now here is the kicker....I dialed my wife and the call goes through with no problem....10 minutes later I dial again and the conversations start kicking in ( some dude was getting cursed the **** out by his wife or mom or something funny as hell :D )....

the only way for me to remedy the problem for a while, was to restart the phone....and then it will do it again......

now the question is....is this a rom problem, or is T-Mobile out here in NYC having some interference problems ????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Well Ive been running this ROM for about a week now and Ive never had that issue. Pretty strange to be connecting to everybody elses conversations lol. So do they hear you as well as you hearing them or is it only a one way tap in lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbymokie:
Not possible for a ROM to allow you too tap into other conversations. Totally t mobile problem, you should call and report it so they can correct
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lantigua:

How long have you been running this rom? Also do you have everything syncing? What about your led lights atvthe bottom? Those can drain and I have mine set for 1.5 seconds. Are you gaming a lot or using Internet radio? For me I let mine go 3 fullbattery cycles of fully charged and drain. When I charge it fully, I power it off and let it keep charging to 100% then power back on and charge for another 10 mins. That's just me. Also I have mine underclock through setcpu 384-1080 using their profiles and enabling them. I was told it shouldn't work with setcpu but my cpuspy app shows those settings are working. Hope this helps.

I listen to music from my phone through bluetooth in my car and when I go out of the car music continues to play through ext. speaker on the phone. On stock rom that would never happen, music would set on pause.

The thing is that I think I saw somewhere in settings "continue playing music... " but I can't find it anywhere.

that's what I'm trying to do, but every time I make an edit it doesn't get saved.

even when I try renaming my current build prop to build prop - backup, and renaming the backup to build prop, it ignores the changes.

I've tried with root explorer and an app from the market called file manager, no luck w either.

I've been following this thread for a long time and I want to thank TDJ. Great work!

On beta 6 I've applied the phoenix theme and changed the LCD density to 190. It really makes for more real estate on screen. I was wondering if the modded samsung email and dialer can be scaled to smaller LCD density. Searching around I couldn't find much on it. I'm using the aosp modded email apk and the dialer thing isn't a big deal. The tw launcher looks weird but I use cm9's launcher.

Quick Questions

I'm still running Juggernaut-v4.1 w/ the Bullet kernel, but getting ency for some ICS goodness. Sorry if these have already been asked:

1) is this good enough to be a daily driver?

-I know there is the reversed compass, vibration is low, etc but is there anything else that could be a show stopper for a very heavy business user?

2) Why is this ROM getting more Darkside love than the other Darkside ROM based off of the T989 leak?

3) Has anyone tried the AOKP (Open Kang Project with the T989), and if so how does it compare to the Darkside ROM's?

4) Is the Darkside ROM the undisputed best available (least buggy, most stable) option for T989 folks wanting ICS?

Many thanks all... Be easy on the n00b. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
1. Yes, very stable for beta ROM. But GPS is not a strong point. Might take up to 60 sec to lock on fully. Compass is reversed but in navigation, it is correct

2. Evo 2 (TMobile leak) - he's waiting for official release to tie up issues he can't clear up like he can with at&t port.

4. I have not tried any other roms for ICS but I love this ROM. It's very stable. Only minor issues but nothing major.

If ur curious, try it out and see. Best opinion is yours.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
I've got this issue too. That and the data not coming back when i come of wifi always.

As far as GPS, this thing is good enough for me to use driving. I got a window mount, and it's not an issue, but in the middle of the car the reception isn't great. Navigation is fine.

I'm not saying that to belittle your issues, as GPS issues can come from a multitude of sources, but I would consider hardware or installation issues as mine works.

Auto Brightness Display response time.

First: Awesome ROM. Thank you! As a daily driver this thing is great.

Second: Not sure if this is an ICS thing, or just this rom, but going from GB, the response time is significantly longer. I.e., when you walk outside, GB would go full bright in 1 -2 seconds. ICS takes 15 or so. Anyone else have that problem?

Any ideas on how to fix?
