Do the md5 check on your desktop. You might have a bad download. If it doesn't match redownload then reflash.

Also, this thread is a good reference for bad flashes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513359

The guide is pretty much the same for our phone. Except you use our stock rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350357. Also I believe to get into download mode our hotkey is a bit different. I forgot what it was.. Actually if you can get into recovery mode, can't you just wipe and reflash a working rom? I'm actually not sure why you can't run the nadroid backup. Anyway, if you determine that a reflash doesn't work and you want to return to stock, post in another thread for help.

HA lol, I took my phone in and blamed it on a game and they believed me and gave me a brand new one so I downloaded and installed a Md5 checksum program on my W7 and it checked this final download of DARKSIDE.TLLE4 and it finally matches the proper Md5 and I'm ready to go if the Samsung Tool Kit would work properly now geeezz lol cuz it rooted me fine 5 days ago but now gets hung up on 'Connect Device' which I do when it tells me to also thanks to you know who that stuck with me the whole way so far:)

Looking for advice..TELUS users out there?

Okay,

I have run both this rom and the Darkside EVO 3 Venom rom. I assume there are many Telus users here (Vancouver area for me)..so looking for some advice.

Goods/ Bads:

This ROM is stable, good battery life, and excellent data speeds...tested in multiple places. Unfortunately it has two probs for me - speakerphone is distorted and or causes feedback? (sometimes with bluetooth) and it hangs on every reboot so I have to pull battery. I tried installing the Venom kernel with this but the rotation thing buggers it and the data craps out.

Darkside EVO 3 rom has amazing battery life...just unreal..and the speakerphone issue is non-existant...but...the data speeds suck bad. I tried installing the Telus Mod radio with it but it didn't fix the data issue.

Anyone have experience that helps with either of these so I can have the best of both worlds? I would like to do a reflash tonight since I have time and see if I can't get a great setup. Also, can I do the overclock thing with this Telus mod rom?

P.S. - Thanks so much TDJ....all your work is awesome!! Way better than stock.

Thanks for your thoughts,

CHBAD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
To fix the hanging on reboot use TDJs Super Cache Wipe. It can be flashed in CWM Recovery. Link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477955

Also, try installing the latest Venom Kernel for Telus (version #6). It resolves that problem with regards to rotation. Found at the link below:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dar...D_DARKSIDE.VENOM_03_TELUS_TDJ_#6.zip/download

Also, this ROM comes with DSP Manager pre installed. If you are having problems with audio distortion, try adjusting settings in DSP Manager. I personally leave my settings level and don't have any issues with regards to audio distortion. But you may want to play around with the settings there first. Peace.

Well, I got the Venom kernel running no prob...and the speaker phone echo/ hang on reboot issue is gone! Downside it that my apps never reinstalled through the google backup/ restore so I have had to take the time to do everything again ( I use Titanium but I didn't do a NAND).

Any idea why google sometimes restores after a flash and sometimes doesn't?

Thanks for the help! So far so good.

I think Google Backup and Restore only restores you email messages through gmail, contacts and calendar appointments. It will also recognize which apps you previously had installed in Google Play, but you would have to re-download them all from scratch and lose all your data from within the apps.

I just run titanium first, then do a nandroid, then wipe and install and new rom. First thing I do is sign in with my gmail account to get my email, contacts and calendar setup, then I go to google play and only download titanium backup and restore all my backed up apps.

Hope that helps. Peace.

Dude to be honest the guy that held your hand through all this deserves 1 hell of a crate of beers..

If you really need any other help just try to read back on how he helped you in the first place.......

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CHBAD:
Well I have had a number of times where it just starts downloading all the programs from the play market automatically after a completely fresh flash! I have signed in with my google account and checked the box to restore...then it just goes gangbusters and downloads and installs pretty much every program on its own.

I wish I knew if there was a prompt somewhere to force it to do this.

I used the Titanium backup/ restore but I must have restored something that was bunk because after a reboot I had an android.acore error popping up every 15 seconds! Trying again...

How do I know if the Venom Kernel installs properly? When flashing there is a green android on the screen and it says do not reboot the target something....but it never seemed to finish installing?....I waited 10 minutes then pulled the battery.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your question. You are correct, when you install a new ROM and sign in with your google account all your apps from Google Play will start automatically downloading. These will be fresh installs so if you had previous data saved in your app they will be lost. That's why you want to back up the apps in Titanium backup so you get the app along with all the data saved in the app when you install a new ROM.

Anytime I download a .zip file to flash to my phone I verify that the MD5 sum provided with the download matches the MD5 sum of the .zip file. If they match then I transfer the .zip to my external SD card, boot into recovery and then you can flash it from there. Should say install is complete.

If you want to check which kernel you are currently running, click on settings, about phone and it should show you the kernel version. If you are running the same kernel as me it should say the following in the kernel version section:

3.0.8_SGH-t989/D_DARKSIDE.VENOM_03_TELUS thederekjay@DARKSIDE #6

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheCrow1372:

Indeed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I gotta admit, I have tried many different ROMs and I am a huge fan of vanilla AOSP android. But in all honesty, I still cannot find a ROM that performs better for me than this one. Every application works, no FC of any apps, no random reboots, everything runs very quick and smooth with very little loading time. To top it all off you also get fantastic battery life.

I don't know what you did TDJ, I think you are a ROM / Kernel wizard. :laugh:

Best Battery Life I Have Ever Received

I just wanted to report my findings from today with this ROM/Kernel combo.

My phone has been off the charger for 7 hrs 30 mins so far and I still have 90% battery. It's been idle/deep sleep for 95% of the time, but I have never received battery life like this. TDJ, your Venom Telus #6 Kernel running Badass governor with this ROM is a deadly battery saving combination. Wow!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
I am back on this rom from aokp. Aokp is a nice rom, but this rom has been perfect for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Completely agree. I love AOKP, but this ROM has no issues at all. Everything works and works very well. I always flash back to AOKP for a change, but I always come back to this a couple days later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aosimon:
Are you on wifi during the 7.5 hrs? My best battery life is about 30 hours, with about half of the time on wifi and half on 4G. It doesn't help that I use BLN, which is a major wakelock hog (average 100 wakeups per hour).

Can't wait till TDJ updates this ROM if he gets around to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I know, as soon as a new release is out or if he updates the Telus Kernel, I am flashing back to this ROM for sure. Best ROM I have used when talking about performance and stability. I have not used a more stable ROM yet.

That particular day the 7.5 hours was on 4G while I was at work. I flip it to wifi as soon as I get home though. That was honestly the best battery life I ever received. Typical day (while at work on 4G) I would get 1.5% - 2% battery drop an hour. Leave the house at 6:30 at 100% battery, home by 3:30 and still have 80% to 85% battery remaining. Then when I flip it to wifi I also change my governor from badass (which saves a lot of battery) back to ondemand 1512max 192min. I use my phone a lot during the evening for gaming and surfing the web so battery in the evening varies. Battery during the day, while at work was very consistent though.

I have changed over to the AOKP release from yesterday with TDJs Venom AOKP Kernel and have been having very good results. I love AOKP, but battery is never that great. Whatever TDJ did with his Kernel has made the battery much, much improved. I am now getting similar battery results so far on AOKP as I was on this ROM. This ROM still had better battery, but this is the best battery I have had on AOKP.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Plus tbh this rom was the most flawless that I have used yet. Still received best battery life and performance with this ROM and that includes AOSP based ROMs. Nothing needs changing / updating IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] everythingsablur:
It's an excellent ROM. Really nothing to update for it. My biggest problem with it is basically the fact that it's TouchWiz, and that just doesn't quite sit right with me anymore. Could you update it it so it has no more TouchWiz? :silly: ;)

Thanks for the TELUS love TDJ, and keep doing a great job on the CM9/AOKP kernels! :good:

couple of noob question (yeah sorry)

i already have cwm 5.0.2.6, is there any advantage to cwm 5.0.2.7 ? your flashable zip you made, do i flash this straight in recovery ?

telus modified radio: do i need to install it ? how do i do that ?

is this rom CIQ free ? i dont see it mentionned anywhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Hey just because you are a noob dont let that stop you from educating yourself. Xda is the place to get that noob tag removed. Advantages of the new cwm to the older one can be found with a google search. If your radio is running fine why mess with a good thing and question are you rooted I mean if you are rooted you had to follow some sort of directions and if so nothing different about flashing roms or radios. Follow directions and all will work out well for you.

CIQ well I dont know that one myself so I guess I will go search for the answer... Hope I was helpful :D

Sure by now you probably got all your answers...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
The Telus based ROMs don't have CIQ.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cabanon:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ahaseeb:
01. Download ROM (Link is Below)

02. BACKUP ALL APPS with preferred method (ie: Rom Toolbox, Titanium, My Backup, etc..)

03. Place ROM on ROOT of your SD card. (ie: /sdcard)

04. Boot into Recovery Mode

05. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!

06. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE (OPTIONAL - ROM will do this by default)

07. Flash an ICS ready radio (Links below)

08. Flash ROM.

09. After flashing is complete, Reboot...

10. Let device sit for 10min without touching, then reboot.

11. Done!

What does the Step 7 means ? usually i go in recovery and click on Install via sd card. Whats this extra step ?
