So basically you are telling everyone that is having problems that they ****ed up and need to follow your steps. Well let's see

Got phone last month fresh out of box. Went from gb to fresh ics (all stock). Ran that way for a bit stable then rooted but still stock. Still stable. Into having this for a month stable and flashing this kernel and having issues. Not complaining since I can follow steps and go back to my nandroid restore. Posted my issue to help the Dev (waaaaaaa?).

So that means your steps to a perfect flash and working kernel is flawed and may only apply to you. Having cm9 nightly on my other phone I'm used to having my phone work great while others with the exact same model/kernel/rom version experience problems.

So before you criticise others steps, sit down, shut up and let them help Derek fix the issues.

Are SGH-T989D TELUS users still getting blackscreen and such as mentioned in previous posts?

- ReDz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
Unless the kernel has changed it is most likely the same. You can do a nandroid and then try. Seemed to have worked for some.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Oooooh yeah baby on v2 and that's with a live wallpaper
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FastJoe78:
System Tuner is not allowing changes made to init.d to stick...can anyone else confirm...or did I forget to do something(usually the case)

edit: I tried to use the set at boot function instead and I got a black screen and I had to pull battery to get back to recovery

edit2: seems that SuperSU needed to update its binary which I did and now its okay running at boot but still no init.d scripts will run...I'm guessing the darkside script that runs blocks the others or something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billo007:
Seriously???????????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobbarley:
I currently have the Darkside Evolution 3 v7 rom flashed on my phone. If I flash this kernel, do I flash the rom again also? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aosimon:
No there's no need to flash the ROM again. The kernel just replaces what you have on the phone and doesn't touch the ROM.

Of course, do the usual cache wipes and fix permission after you flash the kernel...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobbarley:
thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
No.. There is a 2 minutes delay for the scripts. I do that to ensure all system services and binaries are loaded before changing values in user space. So after you device boots wait a few then check...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FastJoe78:
I will give it a shot to check but I'm sure you are right

edit: nope...apparently r/w to the init.d gets all messed up shortly after boot...I even tried to gain r/w through root explorer and it would at first but all actions fail...then if I close app and return it just ignores my request for r/w access. I just want to make it clear I'm not complaining...I generally don't mess with the settings for OC/UV but I like to know everything is working...and let you know what isn't for your piece of mind...thanks for your hard work, sir.

this is also further confirmed do to the fact that the sysctl is an available option in system tuner when its only active if init.d is broken or not available...hope this helps

Okay...it was root explorer...apparently if you restore this app(even just the app itself) it messes with root permissions and locks down the etc/init.d folders and some others...it actually causes a list of issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Seriously? You usually have decent advice SS but this is just....well...out of respect for you I'll just say...

Whatever works for you man...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FastJoe78:
INIT.D Scripts and Venom#3

they are broken...I have been playing with this all day and finally gave up and went back to v2. I was getting this crazy yellow bar across my screen and other graphics glitches on top of the init.d scripts never triggering. I finally figured out the SuperSU was out of date and not to restore root explorer from TB but that only fixed the issues with r/w in root explorer...I will wait for the next version and see if I get slightly better results...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jberry711:
Quick question I flashed this kernel for the speed and bln support and have since lost vibrate in all apps is this normal or is there a fix for it. I am in too many places where vibrate is necessary I want to use this kernel but I need that wiggle back

Thank u
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Hi TDJ, running the ROM for a couple of days now and she's a keeper, looking great and running even better :D

Damn, wrong thread.....Too many of these to keep up with, but still a great ROM!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
That's a great question...v2 was fine but some people lost vibration in everything in v3...for some reason we haven't heard anything about the resolution to this..I've been asking and no reply....download v2 it's in the same place as v3...you will be very happy with that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
Venom v2 is definitely the one flying for me :victory:

Evolution v7 max cpu at 1.78 min 384 with ondemand governor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
The resolution is that i will release a fixed kernel when I get the time. I have had no time and I'm going on vaction for the 4th for the entire week.. I will try to get something pushed out tomorrow but I cant promise anything..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Dude just go relax enjoy the holiday and your vacation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Amen to that. Enjoy your well earned vacation. We will all be here when you get back! Be safe out there dude!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
That's great....happy early 4th...I'll shoot some firecrackers for you...no rush i was just wondering...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aosimon:
TDJ in all honesty you don't owe us anything, so do what's best for yourself and enjoy your vacation. I'm sure no one will die not having Venom 04 on their phone. Total first world problem: http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3pwlaf/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
I agree with all the above man. You should be doing this for the enjoyment and not the pressure. If it don't work its just a heads up to you to let you know and a restore.

You make great stuff. Don't be pressured to push something tomorrow. Enjoy the holiday and we will see you when you get back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alzorak:

@thederekjay , Does your kernel fix the calling issues on the T989D? I want to flash a new kernel but I hate constantly having to restore :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
OP UPDATED! I took the liberty to test with the TLLE4 rom and it booted w/o issue and NO calling issues... Let me know...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Thanx a lot...wasn't expecting this so soon...confirmed vibration working and no lag on tmo v3#5...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
Booted up!!!! Feels sanpyand smooth... Thanks Bro!!! Will give it a day or so to saddle and will report back again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
****.. that reminded me of soemthing... TELUS base users if you already downloaded, DOWNLOAD AND FLASH AGAIN... sorry forgot something!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Is this recommended for your ROM or can it be used on any ICS TW ROM? Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billnye1999:
I flashed over 3 and everyhting seemed fine except when i made or received a call. I can't hear the caller and they can't hear me. I did a darkside cache wipe and it did't help. I reflashed 3 and all is back to normal. I am on DE v7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I read the OP but couldn't find it, does this kernel support UV? And what's the recommended control app, set CPU or system tuner?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveinSoCal:
* MOAR but I dont have time! On vacation as of NOW till next week!

have a good one TDJ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Hey tdj I'm getting echo on speaker phone only...only the callers here it and they said I'm really loud...bt and handset work fine.. tmo v3#5 I'm using stock rooted rom

Edit...nevermind it went away....thanx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I am runnin same rom and same kernel, have no issues with phone calls. Did you flash the Tmo base kernel #5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
God you say some dumb stuff. Developing requires Developers to find and see flaws or hiccups within a ROM. TDJ gave instructions on how to flash, and unless you have contributed and made any impact on XDA as much as he has, take your instructions and rude ass comments somewhere else. No one cares about your RUDE opinion and 'waaaaaaing' is just people showing what issues they are having... SOMETHING THAT TDJ WANTS PEOPLE TO DO IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HIS ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Has anyone that had issues with the initial release of Venom v3 tried out today's release? I'm one of those whose device didn't like v3 at all (laggy performance and process hangs and FC's). I'm expecting this release to be no different, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried. v2 works amazingly well for me, BTW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ohaiu:
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! I am happy to report that the calling/freezing issue with the initial release that I had posted earlier in this thread and via PM to you have been fixed with version 5!!!

I am so giddy right now. The initial release of the kernel was awesome in terms of performance, but it lacked audio feedback with ingoing and outgoing calls.

The only thing that I did differently this time was forgoing the wiping of cache before flashing, and disabling WIFI prior to booting into recovery -- not sure if this played a role or not, however for those that are still experiencing this bug it is worth a shot.

Kudos to you my man, and double thumbs up. Now to play around and tweak the other settings :good::good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billnye1999:
I will double check and try again just to make sure. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I was one and love this release...now i do notice that the 2nd core doesn't activate as much but no lag for me..and on performance governor they both should activate all the time and don't....but if you really need both to activate then use system tuner pro and boot settings activate both cores and Walla but it will probably use more battery...by the way battery is insane on this release...thanx tdj
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Yeah its no different.. just changed the name.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Lmfao....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
That's not what I meant, smarty pants. :angel: :p

Since it's still v3 I wasn't sure if I should expect any changes that might make my phone be less of an ass.

I'll give it a go. Thanks for all the hard work, TDJ!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
That actually had me lol.... 05 working beautiful now my benchmarks are up there again and what little lag I had on 3 is gone. Great work bro enjoy the vacation.

#6 Boots great but now my rotation is messed! What do you mean by telus user? I'm on the t Mobile evolution 3 ver 7 Rom? Thanks for your awesome work! I do have a telus t989d.while I'm picking your brain is there any way to have the 3g say 4g? It worked on your telus Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Try darkside cache wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Didn't say telus users.. I said telus BASE as in the TLLE4 rom. Your obviously not using that. So flash the tmobile base kernel #5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I own the T989D however i am on darkside 3 ver 7 and i have the kernel for the T989 ..rotation works as designed and so does reboot..havent been using it long enough to give my full opinion bit so far so good

Yea I don't really depend on benchmarks either but with the old 03 my score were cut down to barley 5k using ondemand and cpu max at 1.78 which no matter how you look at it, it was a pretty big drop and was getting some lag so I had switched back to o2 and everything was working, but now with the new 03 v5 everything is working perfect along with my scores going back up to how they were on 02 with no lag on v5. Gotta say this is a great release tdj has left us with while he goes for some r&r
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billnye1999:

My scripts when you flash the kernel removes wht the "kernel cleanser" does. All it does is remove the old modules.

So good news is that I can place calls with this kernel on my stock rooted telus roms.

Bad is that I don't see many choices like smart ass or lionheart governers.

Was this on purpose? Either way nice having a functional non oem kernel.

What else would work well? System tuner maybe. Rom toolbox any good for CPU control?

I'm going crazy with this problem since ics and I'm posting it all over to see if someone can help...my phone will hot reboot at random times usually after 10hrs but sometimes longer...last night i got stuck in Miami cause my phone did this and when it does i have to go into recovery and wipe all caches or it will just keep hot rebooting...it took 10 min for everything to settle to get back to use my gps....when my phone doesn't do that it's perfectly smooth and no lag and everything works...I'm thinking some app might be causing this but how do i figure this out? It's not ds kernel right, cause it's done this no matter what kernel I've used...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charlie Brown:
If it does it with other kernels then obviously it's not tdj's kernel.

If it was me I would....

1. Flash back to stock firmware

2. Use another micro SD card

3. And even try a new battery
