Hey TDJ is the twrp or whatever its called an option? Can we still use CWR??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
you can use whatever u want.. i highly suggest using twrp

That's a weird recovery, kindle fire has it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
Yea man make the switch, been running TWRP for like a week and can't see myself going back. Just try, Thank me later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rapalax:
No way.. First off, APEX launcher won't backup any of my widgets, So I have to restore them by hand... And running TB in batch mode wouldn't be a big deal, but I have to selectively choose apps/data I want to restore in case I restore some system app/data and screw it all up.

For the past few betas I have restoring /data in CWM and the only issue I have come across in all those betas is two superuser apps installed (which actually worked surprisingly well for a while) and no NFC (which will make me start-fresh again next flash).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mayhem204:
Sorry for the nub question after I flash this , how do I enter that recovery like normally with CWR ? Clicking on recovery thru power options ? What will happen to the CWR ? Will it still be present and accessible thru rom manager if needed?

Thanks again ! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
SWAG.... again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
yes enter recovery the same way. cwm is gone and rom manager is null and void
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
I hear ya, I'm so tired of that word. Esp from people who don't have.

Yes you don't need the Rom Manager App anymore, but you WILL lose you back-ups that you've made with CWR.

Thanks for the info flashing now .. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seanyuan62:
Just flashed the latest LDE radio. In the install script it read installing RIL, RIL installed. Should I be concerned or did you just not take that ui print out of the updater script (in recovery so I cant check right now).

So whats the big deal aboutnew gs III launcher? I'm running beta 5 atm...is there a huge difference? Screenies anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
I don't have screenies, (I'm in recovery) but I can tell you that it is pretty nice, installed it yesterday from the Themes and Apps Section, I'm running Beta 5 also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
ROM Toolbox, backup user apps only, restore them within minutes, and restore apex/nova settings and layout. Done. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Ok so with this new recovery, I flash it and after that when I do a nandroid I use that right? Because I won't be able to use any nandroids from non-TOUCH correct?.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rancidm:
wow , this is bs, i still cant log into playstore unless im on wifi.

i loaded new radio and loeded new beta 6 just as its written with dark side wipe and everything. this is bs if i can only use palaystore on wifi.

meybe i need to load a new gapps ?and buggy in playstore also. cant download anything. although it logs in and searches on wifi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
Yep, just like CWR, it will make it's own folder, and direct you to it during restores and back-ups just like CWR.

why are there 4 different radios? i only need to install one of them right? and all i do to install that new recovery is to flash it in cwm correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
I haven't used bluetooth that much on Beta 5, but on other ROMS I do get that split second cut off during music playback, don't think it's a dealbreaker, just a limitation of what the devs have to work with as of right now...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anhmuonm:
First, thanks TDJ for your excellent ROM. Second, just to confirm that I have no problem with bluetooth connection at all for BETA05. I have Bluetooth FM transmitter. I play music and the phone calls via that bluetooth FM transmitter with NONE problem! BETA05 is so smooth already! Really hestitating to upgrade to BETA06 since the difference is pretty much the new Launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I had the same issue as him, it would come and go. I could use the Web, but things such as the play store and Facebook wouldn't load. I would just toggle airplane mode and it would work again for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rancidm:
yes paid my bill. ive done everythuing. i can do.

last time it did this somebody said clear data under playstore in aplication it fixed the it. now nothing is working. to fix this bug.

i will try airplane thing....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
One last question before I flash. Can I use the uvdle radio that I was using on beta 5 or does it have to be one of the 4? Thanks fellas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
I tried out TWRP, it is pretty sweet. But, I am concerned that it is not backing up apps that you send to your sd card. When I did a backup via TWRP and looked into the .win files it produces, I could not find any of the apps that I had moved to the /sdcard/external_sd/.android.secure via settings>application>move to sdcard.

If TWRP is backing them up (and I did the backup with sdcard mounted), where is it storing those apps? Has anyone done a TWRP restore with app stored to the sdcard and did TWRP restore those apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Balamutnik:
Great work TDJ as usual, everything works great although seems like gallery - Media Scanner is running - back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
just so you all know , i hard bricked my phone using the recovery in the OP. i wasn't being too careful, as some very well known members of these forums endorsed its use, but it didn't take much. i wiped cache, dalvik, sdcard, emmc, system, sdcard.. then i mounted usb, moved my install zip to the sdcard, and tried to install the zip, but it said no files found. so i used the file manager to browse to the sdcard and indeed, there was nothing there.. so i went to the mounts to make sure it had mounted the external sd card, and it had a check there so i unchecked it and then rechecked it. i also unchecked all the other ones that were checked (i think system and cache) .. still i could not install a zip or see any files in sdcard from file manager. so i decided to reboot and JIIIIZZZM in my ear. nothin. QH USB DLOAD device when i plug into my pc.

i have jtagged qualcomm chips before on embedded systems, so i'm going to try to revive this sucker, but i already got my insurance replacement.

just an FYI for you all. also, i had just installed the updated UVLDE or whatever ROM through kies, so i was in TWRP in order to flash ucle2 beta5 over it. so order was flashed stock rom through odin , updated through kies, flashed CWM with ODIN, booted to CWM, installed TWRP,rebooted to TWRP, and that's where the story started. some people were telling me its because i had an ICS kernel on there but i didn't. i was coming from the new Tmobile GB update.

anyways hope that helps someone out there.

PS my replacement has WAY vivid colors.. and NO splotchiness in pitch black room.. i haven't seen colors this bright since i was on mescaline!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Seeing as how the uvlde radio is one of the four, your good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Ok so I thought this was supposed to be easy to do??? Anybody have any feedback to this before I try because I already flashed this new recovery and I'm not nearly as smart as this guy to fix anything. When I'm about to flash this new radio and Rom, and which one of the buttons do I click in this recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mayhem204:
Installed the new recovery and all I have to say is wow talk about user friendly ... so easy to use!! Great suggestion TDJ . Also the new TW launcher is so smooth ... never enjoyed the TW but I think I'll give this version so more of my time :thumbup: installation for B6 was quick and flawless, as usual!

Thanks for the great work TDJ. :D:thumbup::D:thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
i know people are going to say it was my fault and user error and ****e. .. but i have never bricked a phone before and i've been using CWM, 4EXT, and TWRP on other phones for a while now.. if i were you, just to be on the safe side, i would go back to CWM. haven't heard of ANYONE bricking their phone using that yet.

just my half schilling and ball of lint though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] damngood98:
eugene said he bricked his first gs2 on touch cwm....seems like for all it's faults, the regular cwm is still better than a bricked phone. i was just getting ready to flash everything, including twrp when i saw your post. when did you do this btw....i know there were a few issues initially when this came out but i thought this was stable now? would love to see 4ext....loved that on the g2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Thanks. I'm having trouble following the link in the op as my phone will only let me read that one page. If I use it, is there any steps you can give? Like once I'm in recovery mode, and what do I click next before flashing radio and then after that and right before the rom? Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

I saw somebody mentioning mounting and etc. Unfamiar with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
i did this the night before last night. using the exact link that is linked to from the OP of this thread.

mr x changed something in the init ramdisk, but i don't know what. he seemed to have thought it worked from the beginning if you go back to when it first came out.. so i'm not sure he tried to address any issue that would cause a brick. either way, i downloaded it because i thought he had fixed it and literally the first time i used it , i bricked.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

i think as long as you just stick to the basics of installing zips and don't mess with wiping anything or mounts, TWRP is probably safe. i know in the skyrocket forum people were saying they were bricking after hitting "reboot to recovery" ... and that just happens to be the very last thing i touched on that phone. but i think something was messed up before that because i could not seem to mount the external sd card.

good luck hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Just flashed with TWRP, luving it! Installed very quickly, and with the stack feature, makes it almost to easy :cool: Feels a little odd to use less steps, installing 5 previous betas in one way, then changing it up, but i could get use to this :D

PS Booted just fine, waiting for my mandatory ten :)

The pics you posted look great. Just clarification, is it this one that you guys are talking about?

http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=26485271
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
No, you can use clockworkmod recovery but i think it's recommended that you use the non touch version, 5.0.2.6 or 5.0.2.7 both of which can be installed for free through the app rom manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
If I flashed the new recovery that is recommended. Go would I get back the old non touch recovery? Is it as easy as reinstalling it from the market?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MilkSteakJellyBz:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kiladubz:
New recovery is obviously different but I was able to make sense of it pretty quickly, don't mess with anything, just went to install and flashed super wipe, radio (UVDLE works well in miami), then Beta6 and good to go. So far so good, not a fan of TW though, don't like the fact that I can't make folders, or maybe I just don't know how to, either way this Rom (or any TDJ Rom) is sick with ApeX, Great job dude!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Thanks dude. I'm on Beta4 because I have had no issues. I'm not a fan of TW and I see a lot of this version having to do with TW. Any reason why you would think I should flash this one?? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kiladubz:
Its a personal choice man, I get bored way to easily and always look forward to flashing a new rom. I was also having Bluetooth issues on beta4 + 5, haven't tested it yet on beta6 though.....will update when I do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I have a wife... Nuff said. Lol! She may divorce me one day if I keep flashing his roms lol!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
You can use a different launcher if you wanna move on to the next beta, but if everything is running well for you at the moment then you may wanna give it a couple of days before doing so that will give you time to find out if there are any issues in the new update that you might wanna avoid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I was just thinking the same thing. I'll wait a few days and try to keep up with this thread.

TDJ,

Love the Roms dude but would it be hard to release these updates as patch files rather than having to start from scratch again. I used to be on an ATT rom created by seanzscreams and they were amazing because all the updates were patches.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jangst123:
Saw the lag at 1st while some things were still sinking.

Now that it has settled in a bit the lag is gone.

Just here to report an error!

With the new Beta 6 if you try and place any of the widgets native to Touch Wiz it causes touch wiz to force close whenever you scroll over to the screen where you placed the widget....

Are you able to implement the AOSP widgets with this? I like the touch wiz launcher but the AOSP widgets better.

Or is there a way to provide a flashable package with those widgets?

I rely on my calander widget!!!

On another, brighter note:

I am really enjoying the new touchwiz launcher and it is very clean. The deleting of an item on the home screen took me awhile to get used to but I like it. Other than the aforementioned I'd like to see this overclockable. (yes i know we need source!!!)

Can't wait to see this in a week or two.

Any ideas?

I used ICS calendar from the market. Comes with a resizable widget. U can also get ICS messaging. One tip if you do install the calendar or the messenger go into the old touchwiz apps and disable notifications or you will get 2 each which is annoying for texts and calendar reminders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joneslaw22:
This is a great ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
Not to not answer your question but why don't you use a restore app like rom toolbox or titanium? IMHO it's much much better to save your stuff locally as it restores wayyyyy faster. And they aren't that much for the pro versions. To say I've gotten my money's worth Titanium backup would be like saying the sun is not hot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
Thanks for the suggestions. I have the paid versions for those & a few more. I mostly use appextractor because titanium dicks it somehow, leading to a lot of FCs.

I wanted the auto restore this time.
