I still don't buy it. Not only have in flashed my own handsets countless times but being in wireless sales ( sold tmo att and sprint ) I've countless other phones and have NEVER run into any issues at all. This is the first handset I've flashed that require such ridiculous flashing methods. And if what you say is true shouldn't I have some sort of issue atm? Cuz I have zero issues and this thing is running Iike a dream. Guess I'll go Googling for some info.

Wifi calling feature is not included. I NEED IT!!!! Great build by the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
So after Googling around the verdict is exactly as I thought. Its just a one click procedure to save time.

http://thesuperusersguide.weebly.com/how-to-flash-a-rom.html

The method shown in this article is exactly how I've been flashing for years. Super wipe is just a shortcut around this. Cache wipe is just to clean up the mess TW makes. It isn't necessary at all with aosp roms. At least provide proof of your claims if you're going to say something isn't true. Not just "he said she said" from ONE developer who technically has never built a rom from the ground up. TDJ is great but I'd take cyanogenmod over his work in the blink of an eye.

..and do you see the cyanogenmod team (not to mention they have made THE most popular rom in the world) stressing a super or cache wipe? No. Wipe correctly to begin with and you'll be golden.

Just sayen. Anyhoo back to topic.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
So by doing these steps, does it get rid of the call quality problems that some users are having? How is your call quality.? That's the only thing holding me back from flashing. Thanks yo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Nah it doesn't. Using these steps or super wipe just guarantees the rom will run as intended. As far as the echo issue inwouod try different radios. I solved my echo. I posted it a few pages back. Strange way to fix it but it worked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sigloiv:
Dude, this is really not that complicated. Non-touch CWM on the T989 has broken cache wipe and fix permissions functions, so TDJ made a script that wiped /cache and fixed permissions properly.

This has nothing to do with touch CWM, TWRP, other phones, or AOSP vs TW. Also, the problem isn't 100% reproducible as it completely depends on what's already in your cache, what base you're switching from/to, etc. So you might not have had any problems, but it was just because you were lucky.

And honestly, unless you're an actual developer, you shouldn't be so indignant just because you've flashed a bunch of ROMs. It doesn't mean you know anything, and it makes you look ignorant when you're wrong.

To reiterate for anyone who's still confused: if you're on touch CWM or TWRM, just do a full wipe and flash. That's it. If you're on non-touch CWM, do a full wipe (either with Darkside's superwipe or just through the menus) and flash. ONLY IF you experience problems after booting (especially related to reboot/shutdown), flash Darkside's cachewipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
I tried that and restoring a nandroid no dice...

EDIT:

I figured it out. It was USER ERROR. Hahaha I suppose I didn't flash my rom correctly like a dumby. Sorry to waste space and time on this forum.

Wait wait, every time I flash an update i need to reinstall the kernel if I dont want whatever CM9 comes with? fffffffffuuuu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
Yes, if you prefer Eugene's kernel or a different kernel other than what cm comes with you have to flash the update, then flash your preferred kernel, after that flash darkside cache wipe and you should be good to go.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
What camera issues? I don't have any.

You can reach then on irc freenode #teamchopsticks though they've been kind of busy lately

No need to wipe after each nightly, just flash over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
No problem just like Vlad83 said you don't have to wipe out everything in order to update. I update every time a new nightly comes out and I don't lose any of my apps, data, etc. The only time you really need to do a full wipe is if you run into any problems or if there is a major framework change. Always remember to do a backup before flashing anything just in case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] razorj:
Camera runs fine for me no crashes, and I'm on the 7/7 nightly and have had no problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
I haven't had any camera issues on any of the nightlies could it be that something went wrong when you flashed the rom?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Just to confirm, you've checked and your camera works okay on stock builds?

You're on a T-Mobile T989 Galaxy S II right?

There's no chance since the last time you were on stock the hardware on your camera broke?

I've got camera working fine here as well. The one time it gave me problems was after I did an upgrade in place without wiping data, but clearing the camera app's data in settings fixed that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] baronsamedi:

No no I know I dont need to wipe to install a nightly, but I thought I have to wipe caches to flash a new kernel, and I am using Eugene's kernel so that woudl mean I have to wipe caches with each install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
Not necessarily you just have to be sure to reinstall Eugene's kernel after you flash the rom. The wiping cache is more of a safe measure I suppose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I have tried a few nightlys and have not had any camera issues. Like I said earlier maybe just try one of the ICS cameras from the market and see what happens. I would also check to see if anyone else has this issue with their camera as well before reporting it. Do you know of anyone else having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pluske:

7/10 nightly. Its only happened once. No big deal. Actually I have a bigger bug I'm concerned about. One that I've had with cm9 since I can remember. Charge phone to 100%. I CLEARLY can see 100%. Unplug. 100% drops to 87% percent immediately. DAFUQ??? This doesn't happen frequently at all but it does happen. I don't get it at all. I have to plug it back it. It doesn't specifically drop to 87%. But it drops somewhere in the 80s immediately after unplugging. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
No it doesn't, and I wish it did. I can charge through the dock but the sound comes out the device speaker. I've tried everything but it's never worked for me on CM9. However today when I was listening to some podcasts, after I received a notification, it resumed playing at the current volume. I received 3 notifications on my way to work and it resumed all 3 times. Glad that's fixed!

The battery issue reported above is new to me. I don't remember seeing that particular bug being reported before. I'll keep an eye out and look for it. Currently on 7/11 and even though battery life isn't great, it always seems to report properly.

I've asked this question once before, but no one responded. I figured I'd try again... Is there anyway to turn up the speaker volume? I've never used DSP Manager before, so I didn't want to start messing with it and mess everything up. Does it turn up the speaker volume? My volume is very low. I have to plug in headphones to hear my music and/or videos clearly. I didn't have this problem with any other rom. Can someone help me please? Thanks ahead of time.:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I don't want you to think your being ignored ;) and maybe someone else will respond with a better answer. The only setting I've ever seen for media is under sound settings, and I'm sure you've cranked that up and still aren't happy with the volume.

I remember reading in one of the threads that there is an app in the store that several have used to increase the volume on their device, and it appeared to work very well for them. I can't remember the name of the app, but I'm sure searching in the app store you could find it.

When AOKP/CM9 first started rolling out there was an issue with the volume being to low and people started using this app. I haven't really noticed this issue, but rarely use the device speaker.

Good luck, and let us know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:

I downloaded Beats Audio Installer from the market and I can see an all around improvement. I thought it would be an application that I'd be able to configure to my liking, but I'm assuming after the in app installation it just improves the overall volumes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yppans:
With the Beats Audio Installer app, you have to flash the zip file "BeatsAudio.zip" in recovery mode, otherwise it won't do anything. After that there is no icon or configuration for it by default. All you do is go to menu>sounds>music fx and select beats audio.

As for Awesome Beats, a Google search for "t989 awesome beats xda" should find you the original thread. I'd post the link but I'm on my phone. Good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yppans:
It downloads it to the root of your sd card, it's a file called "BeatsAudio.zip". Someone else replied but it seems like they're not familiar with the app you're using, so the answer wasn't what you're looking for. Flashing that zip file will do the trick.

Should there be a big difference? Also, I don't have the option to change music settings in sound. I'm running the latest nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
By deep idle, do you mean deep sleep? If so then yes, but not while it's charging.

The only way I know of messing with color presets, and it may not be what your looking for is; under advanced > screen scenario you can change some presets there. I've never used them yet, but maybe worth a shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mista513:

Went from full to just about drained in about 19 hours with extremely light use - only 1 hour of screentime. Battery drained 30% while I slept 7 hours. Wifi and GPS were both off, had signal. Pretty disappointed, wondering if I did something wrong.

Currently running 7/16 build (flashed over previous build), flashed kernel and MS_Guru's GPS fix afterward. Did not do any wipes, rebooted waited 5 minutes and rebooted again. If someone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them, else Im heading back to Eugene321's Kernel. Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] punchemcface:
Eugene's kernel is not updated. That's why it will give you problems, there are no up to date versions of it.

He is focusing on app development and the thread for the kernel has been pretty dead.

If you can't wait for him to fix it, try the darkside venom kernel. You can find it in the development section.
