Problem fixed, link is up. There might be some permission errors if you don't flash darkside cache wipe. So please FLASH DARKSIDE CACHE WIPE after flashing the ROM, before the first boot.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Did you do the cache wipe after you flashed the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EegoGenre:
Yes i did.. Just hangs at Google screen..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Are you using the touch recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EegoGenre:
Yes i am..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
That could be the problem. I don't think it would cause an issue, but I haven't tested this with the touch recovery, so I can't say for sure. I would try again going though each step, then if it still dosen't work, look into switching recoveries.

Also if you could post a logcat it would help me figure out what is going wrong.

Im a noob. But from callers im getting complaints that i sound like a robot. anybody else having this problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Personally, I haven't had either of these issues. I am looking in to it. If anyone else who has tired this ROM could post whether or not they had this issue it would help a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
Never have had the echo issue....but...just replaced my original SGS2 with replacement from insurance for cracked display. Dropped my phone getting out of my car last week and did a number on my screen. Currently have Bullet Rom R6 installed, on my just received replacement. Being a flashaholic always looking to try new stuff. Going to nandroid and install your ROM. Will get back soon re-echo issue if any.

EDIT:

NO echo at all. Called three different cell phones and one land line and all state sound was crystal clear. This was the fastest installing ICS ROM I have yet tested. The only change to the install I do is to flash the LC8 radio first, followed by Super wipe, Flash ROM, Re-Flash radio again, Then..flash the darkside cache-wipe and boot up. Data speeds are good. Three bars (H) in my house currently and first speedtest run was 14446Kbps down. I find if I am on a different Radio, prior to a new ROM I have better results doing the double flash. Anyways, this works for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Thank you, at this point I am convinced the echo is not an issue with the ROM, but instead an isssue with the install. If anyone has a problem with call audio try following the steps above.

Because this is based on cm9 alpha 4 the issues should theoretically be the same, or at least very similar. The only issues I have noticed are no pinch to zoom or tap to focus. What specific errors are you referring to?

My GPS not working, anyone else with this problem. Followed installation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
My GPS is working fine. I was just able to get 40m accuracy indoors. Try re-flashing the radio and wiping cache. If that does not fix it, post a logcat of an app (preferably "GPS Test" from the play store) trying to get a GPS lock.

Also it usually takes longer to get a lock the first time in a new ROM. Give it up to five minutes with a clear view of the sky to get a lock before you try anything else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] naimsiddiq:
OK it works but man it's really weak. 7 out of 22 sats and 30m accuracy indoors (fades in and out) other than that great rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
You can't expect to get a reliable or accurate signal indoors with GPS. Even if you are near a window there are countless factors that can impact performance. Do you have any issues outdoors with a clear view of the sky (no trees, buildings, etc in the way)?

Does instagram work as far as uploading goes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
I'm indoors. See screen shot using GPS Status app. Make sure under settings menu for location services, GPS antenna set for Internal. It was unchecked on my setup initially. Not sure you need to reboot or not. This shows 5m accuracy with 10 out of thirteen. Using GPS Test app, I actually get down to 5ft accuracy with 11 out of 14 Satellites, but the info doesn't display correctly when taking a screen shot. The GPS info resets so I am using GPS Status to show you.

I standard do the following after any new install. Use the Latitude app that installs with Google maps to verify it locks in on my home location where I am usually instally a ROM from. Initially it says log on fail, then it goes to a fairly quick screen redraw and locks in correctly on my home location. This way I KNOW my GPS is working. Been doing this Latitude method since my early Nexus One Android days here on XDA. Used to have to set the Google permissions this method for GPS to initially work. Now this is part of the install, I believe, but out of habit, I still use this Latitude app method for initial GPS checking on any ROM install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
Yes. Just tested and uploaded fine here. No errors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] naimsiddiq:
Thanks for the response I actually use Latitude also, with wifi on it assists in my location but the gps icon doesn't blink then after awhile it goes solid then it goes blank again. No consistant lock. Not a big deal for now, not a deal breaker, imo best ics rom yet and I test just about all roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackmamba0730:
My data keeps fluctuating between "H", "R", and "E". Then I get a message stating that data is unavailable and to activate roaming. Anyone else have this issue? Other than that, everything is awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
No, the radio is a separate file that you must flash.

I just experienced this for the first time today. A reboot fixed it and I haven't had a problem since. How often does this happen to you? I'm trying to get a logcat of it switching so I can get to the root cause, it should be fixed in the next release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackmamba0730:
It happens in certain parts of my house. Weak signal, perhaps? I usually just toggle airplane mode to get it working again. Maybe its the radio. I know some work better than others but this is the only option we have right now for this rom. Its definitely not a deal breaker for me though. Way too many awesome features to pass up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackmamba0730:
Also, my notification volume is really low even when I have it turned all the way up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:

Can any other radio's be flashed on this ROM? I'm using the Telus version here in Canada and I had issues with certain radio's and data/roaming on other ICS ROM's. The Blaze radio and the older Telus and T-Mobile radios seem to work fine.

Also, how is everyone finding the battery life on this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
I flash them all too. This for now is my #1. Especially appreciate the mms app NOT compressing the heck out of my pix. Sent a 1MB jpeg and it compressed to 551kb. No delay on sending/receiving either, from my house just now. Usually need wifi calling enabled to be a happier camper, but this setup was just as fast as a wifi enabled calling ROM.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I would unzip any of the radio files you or anyone here is using and strip out the ril's and then I would think you won't have issues with trying other radios. Just delete the lib files in the system folder if there happens to be that folder with files on the radio file anyone is using or would want to test. I think the latest Darkside ROM has modified (ril's removed) Radio files listed in the OP, but anyone here can simply make sure they delete the stated lib files on their own, before flashing. If not, the mismatched ROM and Radio's can cause data and GPS issues. Just an FYI to others here not into flashing everything :)

Haven't used the ROM long enough to qualify the battery question, personally. Usually I get a better feel after running for two or three days, to eliminate anomalies that can skew the battery efficiency.

PS..apologies for referencing another ROM. Just wanted to offer a link to those who don't feel comfortable with modifiying a radio file, if need be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Other radios may or may not work. The worst that could happen would be that the ROM wouldn't boot or there might be data or call related errors. If you sucessfully use another radio please let me know so I can update the OP. I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but battery life has been slightly better that with the leaked ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intricatedesign:
Radios and Battery and Calls

Just thought I would share my findings:

Im in New Mexico and using blaze 4g from TDJs thread with this ROM seems to work great.

Also, on TDJs latest beta 06 i was getting about 36 hours or so off of a charge and with this guy (SO FAR) Im looking at about 10... I will definitely keep using it though I like the ROM a lot.

I have been told that my voice during calls goes from very very silent (far away sounding) and inaudible to normal back and forth throughout the call as if a drunken chimp was playing with the mic gain.

Ok, there you go.

Cheers!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nihonno:
Cyanogen mod roms, for as long as I can remember, replace the 4G with "H". As in HSPA. The data stream used for T-Mobile. That's fine with me actually because you'll notice that it turns to H when data is being utilized and back to 3G when its not.

Stock android, usability, smoothness, feature packed and I don't experience lag and pointless other issues that arise from ROM developers trying too hard. I respect all developers, but simple is better in this aspect in my opinion. It has everything I need and more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nihonno:
I concur. This One5 has really stumbled onto something. This is pretty much the first AOSP ROM we have that works right off the flash without any real configuration necessary.

The issues are very minor for most of us.

So, with that said, I'll put down 1 or 2 things I feel can be worked on. (MINOR AT BEST)

1. The Bluetooth over Headset plug in prioritization; If you have a bluethooth headset paired and you plug your phone into an aux port in your car to play music. The phone will prioritize the music to come through your headset despite the fact that it's plugged into your car. Is that a setting or a known issue with CM9 or this ROM?

2. Yeah... couldn't think of anything else right now that hasn't already been mentioned in the OP.

Hey One5. Again, this is a great ROM and an excellent start. Are you planning on further development with this build or perhaps moving onto something else. Or maybe even waiting for a dedicated T989 Kernel for source.

Thanks again for the help thus far, regardless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] one5:
Right now my main focus is fixing some of these bugs. I am also trying to improve this build. As I said in the OP, I plan to start building from source as soon as Samsung releases the T989 source.

Thanks One5. To be honest, no rush. Work on it at your leisure. You've pretty much left it hands on for others to help with fixes they may find as well. I just wanted to know if you still had interest in the build. Minor issue but still the best AOSP build we have on the T989. I was wondering if your Kernel could be used for the MIUI build since its CM9 based? I've seen that the MIUI build has a lot of issues right now.
