I was having the same problem after I flashed the beats audio zip. I restored and tried again and the same thing happened. So if you've flashed that zip file, that's the problem. If you made a nandroid, just restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
So Beats doesn't work with T989 alrighty. Is there any other option for something like beats? I actually have the beats headset. I would love to get beats working but if not, I can settle for other music effects.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zachariah_Apo:
It doesn't seem like its working I've tried a few different beats.zip none if them have worked. People say volume+ works but I haven't gotten any success on that either.

Just tested 0717 nightly with TDJ Venom using the phone utility number. No echo. Very slight "underwater" effect, not really a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
Where are the changlogs for the nightlys?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I just read elsewhere about wiping system, and wanted to ask if maybe I should change my nightly flash routine. I don't wipe system, all I do is flash new nightly then use the cache wipe script and reboot. That's it.

I did do a full wipe a few days ago because it had been a few weeks since I had. It was when they introduced the new kernel and thought it would be a good time to start fresh again. But that said, I've never had any issues flashing nightlies without wiping system, just flash right over; but maybe I should change it up. I thought if I wiped system before hand, I'd lose my system apps & data?

Where I'm flashing nightlies nightly, I don't want to do what's not necessary, but I want to get the best results too. So when flashing CM9 nightlies daily, best common practice? What should I add to my routine, if anything?

1) Flash CM9

2) Flash TDJ'S Cache wipe script.

3) Reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
You can do this, I do it every few flashes:

Wipe /system

Flash CM9

Flash Gapps

Flash kernel (optional)

Wipe /cache

Wipe dalvic

Or flash darkside cache wipe instead of the last 2 steps

Reboot

No... try formatting /system then reflash CM and Gapps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mista513:
For ppl with beats issues I've been using awesome beats ( a modified dsp with beats) since 7-5-12 official. I used it with streamline and also on Venom with no issues. Also no call issues or lockups like a few are saying, I'd say clean wipe and kernel cleaner, or restore a working nandroid and flash over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mista513:
I do this also every 3 updates, since this is what the original OP steps were before they change it to what the current says. I've never really had any trouble on most of the updates following these steps and it can't hurt anything. I'd say it's actually the best way if not doing a fresh install just to make sure everything goes smoothly. I haven't had issues just dirty flashing over either since the OP change, but I also use TWRP. I think some users reporting issues may be using CWM which I use to have a lot of random issues with if I didn't use TDJ'S cache wipe after flashing every rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saxysaxplayer:
Am I the only one having an issue with the stock messaging app? It's extremely laggy when I go into a thread, and it FC's atleast 1/3 of the time. Besides that, everything been fine with me for the last few nightlies.

EDIT: Upon further investigation, it only happens in my twitter thread. Maybe it's because I have over 6k messages in that thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I dont have does issues with 7/17 all i have is that they hear a echo and heard my voice bad but then i found my body glove cover and put it on my phone then remember some threads saying that the cover makes people hear an echo so since i took it off i havent got any problems

Edit: nvrmnd I see it's just not built yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I think I am going to be flashing this today when it's released. Been really happy with the most recent AOKP release, gonna see what CM has to offer.

Also considering downloading and using TWRP. Does it completely override and replace CWM when you install it? What are the advantages over CWM non touch recovery? Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Yes it replaces CWM but as far as advantages or disadvantages it has been documented all over. Let's not start that because then its a 3-4 page banter back and forth about which is better...LOL

Just remember you can not restore your CWM backups with TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
My bad, I don't want to start a debate, not the proper thread to do that anyway. After asking the question I ventured over to the TWRP thread to get some more info. I was more concerned with my CWM backups more than anything and wanting to know if it replaces it altogether. Looks like you have answered the main question I had. Thanks.

On another note, can't wait for RC2 today. CM9 with a touch of the Darkside, just sounds so right :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Running rc2 feels nice, can't really tell the difference from the nightly lol

I wonder if custom kernels will break anything since this is a rc rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Lol it's just another build with almost no difference from 7/17... and tomorrow we will get a new nightly... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
Yeah, happened to me. its because you have too many messages. just wipe them and it should be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Yeah, the messages are stored in a database, the larger the database the slower the messaging app...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
Would you suggest wiping before installing Cyanogenmod 9 RC 2 or can i just flash it over the last nightly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Flash over or you can wipe /system, /cache, dalvic (leaving /data intact) then flash cm and gapps again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:

everytime i flash this thing it gets stuck on the boot screen!!! is anyone else having this problem?? i first flashed it over beta 1, then i wiped everything multiple times, flashed again, then i odin'd back to stock, flashed again and again and again (full wipe each time)...ideas anyone?

only thing i can think of is bad download, but it wouldn't flash at all then, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Are you using cwm non-touch? Either flash the darkside cache-wipe script before booting or use twrp recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
U dont have to wipe multiple times i dont get why pple do that its not needes just use super wipes if on cwm or use twrp like he said^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
i am using non-touch. i wiped once for everything the first go-round, maybe second. then started wiping everything multiple times after i was encountering issues.

anywho, i odin'd back to stock (gingerbread), flashed super-wipe then flashed cm9 again. same deal. ideas anyone?

edit: got it to work. not sure what i did. giggidy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
is there a changelog? I would like to know the different with that and the RC2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vmartinez39:
Crap really?

Does this mean I have to use the SGH-T989_DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4

I hope it doesn't wipe the data. Worst comes to worst, I could just make a NANDROID first, super wipe it with the script, flash the ROM, then restore the data from the backup.

Sounds like alot of steps needed. Just don't want to have that Endless boot animation I encountered. Made me doubt if the phone was buggy or broken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
im inclined to think it was something i did, somewhere. when i flashed beta 1 it went without a hitch. but probably just best to back up then super-wipe.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
if you are on a non touch recovery you need to flash darkside wipe chach scryt and if you are on a touch recovery just format/cache
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NinjaDeathMonk:
So I rooted my phone a few months ago and installed Clockwork recovery. It's still on stock Gingerbread and I never updated to stock ICS, waiting for at least an RC of CM9.

1. Do I need to update the radio? Which should I use?

2. Is DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE really necessary, or just if I have problems?

3. Will DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE delete the contents of the built-in memory? And just to be clear, it doesn't touch the SD card if I leave it in, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
1. Yes you need an ICS modified radio. It doesn't matter just which ever one gives you the best speed.

2. Yes it is necessary.

3. Not sure about the built in memory but it does not touch you're external sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
What hiz99 said. As for #3 superwipe will only wipe /cache, /data, /system not your internal sd.

Also if you switch over to twrp recovery you will not need the darkside wipe scripts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rrrrrichard:
Is 0719 nightly based on rc2 or an earlier fork?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Nightlies continue so it includes everything RC does and whatever patches come after. So in essence RC is outdated. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I have TWRP, but I still use the Darkside scripts, because TWRP lets you queue up zips, and so I can wipe, install, and cache wipe/fix permissions all at once. It's sweet.

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mista513:
There is no reason to run the Darkside cache or super wipe if you use TWRP. The whole reason TDJ made those were due to issue with CWM not wiping davlik/cache correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Cool man you dont need to update to ICS from tmobile but if you like stock tmobile ics here is the link, also you can just get the latest ics radio

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705617

there is already a RC2 from CM9 you can download it here

http://get.cm/?device=hercules

and here some information on the DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE SCRIPT AND CACHED CACHED WIPE

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

and no it wont delete your sd card or internal sd

its just an easy way to make sure all the requires/ necessary wipe you need for flashing a rom is there.

remember if you are gonna flash cm9 rom and you are in a none touch recovery. flash the DARKSIDE CHACHE WIPE after you flash the rom and gapps or the phone will not boot, but if you are on a touch recovery just go to mount - storage and format data

anyways is best to have the latest ics radio for ics roms for better call quality.

Question regarding the RC2 release. I notice when I restore my apps from Titanium about 12 of them install to my SD. Card instead of my phone. Any idea why? Also, I moved them over to the phone. Was this a smart move? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I know there is an option in TB that allows you to restore your apps to there previous location. But that would mean they were there originally. Could they have been there?

With as much flashing as I've been doing lately, I keep all my apps on my phone. Otherwise, it's just caused weird issues for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Thanks, I moved them to phone as well. Not sure why some went to SD and others went to phone automatically. Oh well. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xeorem:
They might have been installed to the SD in the first place without you noticing it. Apps should be fine on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NinjaDeathMonk:
Thanks for the help, everyone. Phone is running smooth with RC2. But running any DARKSIDE after flashing didn't allow me to boot. Then I tried with both DARKSIDE scripts first, then flashing, and it booted just fine.

Another question: I'm restoring all the apps with Titanium Backup Pro. Will restoring the SMS data be OK if I came from stock Gingerbread? I realize this is the first time I want to do this. On previous phones and ROMS I just ignored SMS and started clean.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
Does anybody else's volume temporarily go silent then goes back to normal? It does it a lot when any audio is playing but it does it when audio isn't playing as well. Running 7/20 clean install with tdj newest kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I had noticed that im running 7/20 build now, and I dont know but since some of the nightlies my friends started to say that they hear an echo. it was fixed but I dont remember witch night i had when this was not an issue.

It is going to take a long time for Cyanogen 9 to include 4.1 updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
4.1 is CM10 my friend
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
If you haven't, you need to go under dialer settings and enable noise suppression. That will fix any echo or under water sounds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
I thought that CM10 would be Android 5.

If they increase the number for every .x that android increases cyanogen may increase in numbers quite fast. Also they didnt do that for gingerbread did they?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
CM7 is gingerbread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Yeah its not set as default, so you'll have to check it right after you set up. I flash 7/23 and was like wtf lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
I know, I thought that CM7 covered all of 2.x and the reason for no CM8 was that 3.x source code wasnt released
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Never had noticed it. But just checked and its enable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I'm running 7/22 and calls sound great. If you have noise suppression enabled, that should have corrected any audio issues with calls.

If your still having problems with an echo, what I would do is flash the latest nightly over what I have, then flash TDJ'S Cache wipe script and reboot and see if that fixed the echo. It will take all of 10 min and you won't lose any of your apps/settings and could fix your issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Yes right now im using 7/20 because my internet is so slow right now. Will sure try the newest nightly and see.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Not sure about Ivona but if you are a CM9 fan of any kind I say give it another shot. Restore your nandroid or just flash the new one should be no more than 10 minutes. Last I checked everything was working for me. Some users have issues but then some users have issues with all roms.

With TDJ kernels your battery life whoas should be out the window as well

It definitely has the GB problem of pics appearing as videos in the messaging app. This was fixed by the official ICS, so i wonder why the step back occurred.

Other than that this rom is awesome. Definitely my new DD. I changed the max speed to 1.2ghz and battery life seems pretty good. I'll probably try undervolting soon too.

People on the other end of my calls are having problems hearing me. They say they're here me "choppy". On bluetooth and headset they hear me fine.

I did this hardware fix a while back to solve the echo problems I was having on stock GB. I basically inserted a piece of business card over the back of the ear speaker. I wonder if having this hardware fix conflicts with CM9's software fix for the echo problems.

I was also reading about underwater audio problems people were having on early versions of this rom, but I doubt this is it.
