This ROM is literally underrated, best ROM I've come across. I'm still on it's 7/20 build. I've flashed all the ROMs up to this date but none of come across the stability of this ROM, thank you Guru! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ecyoral:
Is tonight the night we get the newest version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ehall2k7:
Final version

Just out of curiosity... is the final going to be based on the newly released cm9.1????

Keep up the amazing work. It's definitely appreciated!:good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seshaz:
Are you serious?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wingmann:
MS... Thank you so much for your ROM work. I have been using your ROM for quite some time, and I love it. I occasionally get a muffled phone connection, but that is not your doing -- I think your ROM is just about perfect as it is. So yes, I'm obviously excited for what you have perfected on "perfect" anyway! I'll watch for the changelog! I'm curious.... are you stopping ROM developement or just moving on to JB? I want to follow your work if you do.

If you are stopping developement, please know your work is admired and THANK YOU!!! I will download your last (?) and send a donation your way. If you are just moving to JB, I'll STILL send a donation!

Thanks again!

Wingmann
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
**** yes, I love you <3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ermmanuel:
Same here, love your work cant wait for the update:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ecyoral:
yes I am serious

What are you referring to? My question or my copying the entire quote? in either case I am Serious what of it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
I'm so anxious to see this updated rom. I'm refraining from asking for an ETA time tonight. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MS_Guru:
Any themers wanna contribute some time?

8-29-12: Late night.... Any fellow Photoshop Gurus wanna contribute a little time? I've still got a few things left on my list to button up, but its time consuming, and I'm kinda a one man band here. I've got base images, and the edits are pretty basic. I don't wanna have to redo anyone's work, so be realistic.... If your not proficient with Photoshop and or running anything less than CS5, your probably not on par...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ehall2k7:
I am very proficient with photoshop, and would be honored to be able to help theme this amazing rom. My only problem is I am on a bit of a time constraint for today. The earliest I would be able to get to it is probably 8pm EST. And like everyone else here, we are anxiously awaiting the 'Final' masterpiece.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bls2633:
I just wanted to point out that this is very good advise.(Below) I was having all sorts of boot problems as well as other issues that I could not figure out until I read this and followed this advise and Im not even running this rom, (not until you get the link back anyway, been waiting on it) Also wanted to say thanks to OP for taking the time to post all the advise you took the time to post.

the following is copied from the OP

Notes regarding DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE / DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE: Speaking from my own experience, these are two fantastic tools. They do their jobs well, and should definitely be used by those who would consider themselves "frequent flashers". BUT... be forewarned... If you use these tools as your "sole and primary means of system cleanup" you will experience boot errors!! What's that mean? Should I stop using DARKSIDES's tools? The short answer... No. But you should get into the habit of wiping your Cache and Dalvik following ANY and ALL system maintenance. Relying on the tools for this crucial step greatly increases your chances of experiencing bootloops and general no-boot conditions. I'm not sure if it relates to the manner in which partitions are wiped, or maybe the disk alignment procedure. But in my experience, not clearing my cache following the use of these tools leads to greater occurrences of boot failure.

I'm on milestones jb right now and going switch when guru's next is out. Can't believe that guru is building again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jookdakang23:
so is this the final rom or not? im proficient with photoshop but wont be able to start until saturday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
Going out on a limb here, but the title may not be a question with an answer - more rhetorical. Waiting for the community or time to show whether it is or how close to final.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prodigy2007:
Hope to see you on JB roms in the future. Appreciate your contributions here. I still take some of the apks from this rom and use them in other ones. I may make some new themes at some point, it's been a couple years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
Guru, I was wondering if you can incorporate Google now as a bonus to your ROM. I've seen is in action and its pretty cool for calendar appointments and stuff, I'm just interested in making the good of what we have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] style154:
Can anyone get me a link or a download for the "apple eater" wallpaper? :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
This is just sad Guru. I'm sorry you're a one man show. I love your roms and can't wait for update.

I wish I could help, but I am no photoshop wiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
Yay! A true ETA. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] edshawn911:
were is download link?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
There is none. Guru is working on an update. Supposed to be up in the next 90 minutes.

There is a link for the 8/06 version on goo.im under guru's dev name
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] edshawn911:
waiting for it so i can get off this clones and drones rom...

rom is cool but with all these touch wiz roms after about a week and a half

they start glitching..lol plus i don't think they have the v6 script set up like guru does.

like having the wifi calling but i will give that up for the stability of this rom...

9:30 already... feel like i am waiting for my first born...:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Ah, the slippy slope of promising a release date.

I've been using 7-20 since 7-20, and I love it. I'm looking forward to upgrading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wingmann:
I second that sentiment -- I think it'd be awesome if that was incorporated. But, I'll take anything - Guru's ROM is great!! I hope hope hope he will consider working with Jelly Bean too. However, I know "chef" work takes so much time and I know that's why we loose such great developers -- it takes too much of their time... /sigh. THANK YOU again Guru for all your work!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djh00cvpi:
Hey MS_Guru... I really love your rom! I had to check out the latest cm9 on the thread. I'll keep an eye open for your update... I'll be back.

Thank you for this awesome rom. It is near flawless!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
Still using 7/24. It makes me sad that it is the most stable rom I have tried and yet it is a NIGHTLY. Someday we will get an update and it will be BOSS!

Edit: Better yet I keep returning to my 7/24 Guru after trying the others. CM 9.0, CM1 and almost all the others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] olyvaha:
so can someone tell me if i can just install this over cm9.1 like an update or do i have to do a full wipe and all that jazz....? i know its a silly question but my reason for wanting to just treat this like an update is that for some reason when i do a full wipe and enter in my google account details it wont download my apps and i have to go in and manually download them. it takes forever, super time consuming, if there was a "download all previous apps" option i would be greatly enlightened
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demonr6:
First off thank you for all the work that you have put into these ROM's. I have thoroughly enjoyed your work and by far the best performance and stability I have had is from your work and I pretty much have thrown them all on here at some point up until about three weeks ago when I decided it was time to settle on a dd and the 07/24 was the one thanks to the insane battery life and the all around goodness of that version. It is the only ROM I keep as a backup in the event everything goes to hell and I need a clean install. Although it is sad to see you move on, I do hope you decide to work on some JB and carry us over into the latest version. I eagerly await your latest release so I can install it and take it for a spin!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mynlal:
Anyone has a zip that I can download of the previous ROM.

Thanks

GURU MIA???

Has anyone heard from Guru??? Last post said he would be posting something on 9/2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WunSick:
Anybody find that snoozing on the alarm clock removes that day from the selected days the alarm goes off? So weird. Also my Google maps voice is stuck on one direction. lol no matter where or what I am doing, if I am using google maps, it keeps saying "Go south on I-25 South"... lols
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demonr6:
I am starting to worry about Guru.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ecyoral:
where is guru?

maybe he is a new parent and sending time with his new baby?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tachyon1986:

GURU MIA

anyone know how to contact GURU and see if he is ok? it's been a longtime and no word from him.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wingmann:
Maybe he never received any offers for help with PhotoShop. I am still looking forward to the final ? ROM, but maybe he's just dropped the idea. I hope I'm wrong. I'll keep looking and hoping, but if no -- I still wish Guru well, and thank him for his work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TubeSteak:
He's probably fine; I saw him complaining about something on the CM forums a few weeks after his last update here.

You have a link to the 07/24? It seems to have the best reputation. I have the 07/20 on my hard drive and I am downloading 08/06. I would really like to get a hold of 07/24 though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mookiexl:
To be honest this is the best 100% reliable Rom I've flashed. One of few roms with smoothness and mhl working ,no glitches, the only cm Rom I've tried that made me forget about WiFi calling because my t989 kicked ass . This devs hard work is truly appreciated and to be honest we need him back. Guru has the potential to do something really special for development of this device and we need him just as much as we need TDJ. This is one of few development threads thats full of copy cats and haters. I pray that he's okay. All the star wars roms besides Joy roms I've tried have some problems I can't look past. We have hard and soft bricks running rampant. I almost regret I purchased this powerful device seeing that my previous device the sensation had much better development and better stablity than this one. Guru I need you we need you to keep kicking Apple in the ass.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Are you all right Guru?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MS_Guru:
It probably was faster. It'll be a little while longer before we see GB like stability and refinement in a CM9 build. I'm not sure if its still the case, but I remember awhile back reading that the 4G thing is an issue with all CM9 builds. That may be old info at this point though, so don't hold me to it. You could try flashing a different radio.

I'm curious how others are doing battery wise? I just realized my phones been off the charger for 12 hrs now, and I'm still at 89%. I've been in the habit of disabling my Capacitive Keys and backlight notifications, curious how big of a roll that actually plays.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MS_Guru:

Anyone having issues with titanium backup , it will not restore any thing it just gets stuck installing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I actually asked the 4G question in another thread when I tried out AOKP. It was explained to me that the 4G icon isn't exactly the true "speed" that your phone is reaching. It's actually HSPA+ not 4G so that's why the icon will have an H instead of a 4G.

Tmobile and Telus will put the 4G symbol in there to make it look more attractive, but in reality you are really getting HSPA+ speeds.

And I believe you are right, only ROMs built off of AOSP show the H. Peace.

Will you be updating this ROM each day when a new nightly is released? Just curious, this ROM looks so amazing and tempting, I am going to be keeping a close eye on this thread and watch the development. Thanks for another great ROM option for our phone. Fantastic work.

Is this ROM functioning well for the majority of the people on here? I tried a cm9 ROM a week ago on this phone and it was like using a flip phone. I just love cyanogenmod and I'd love to use it again if its working properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
Usually when that happens the app it's stuck on is the culprit. Uninstall that app then do your restore. Once the restore is done just re-download that app from the play store. Hope this helps.

(You may have to force close TB to stop it from trying to restore.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
Yes, it is, I'm using it as my daily now..no issues whatsoever, great battery life, nice performance..only thing I'm OCD about is the no 4G icon, the sort of long boot and that's about it..btw I don't get how emoji is supposed to work in the messaging app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxflyingarmbarxx:
Got the Rom running and it works amazingly well. The only issue im having is with the V6 you baked in. It starts to run, but stops right after the "Test Drive Complete!" message. Any ideas? Ive been looking around but everything ive found was based on installation on top of the rom instead of within it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EegoGenre:
Update Superuser... did a fresh install twice. Still no root access.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
Maybe you have a bad download? I don't know, my SuperUser works just fine..Download Darkside SuperWipe and CacheWipe

Superwipe it first then do cachewipe then flash the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EegoGenre:
I'll try redownloading. And I always dark side wipe and cache...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonjon68:
Exactly right, HSPA+, 4G speeds. I hear what you are saying but 10Mb speeds are 4G speeds. The end.

For the pple with root issues Did you try re rooting your phone that might work just flash a superuser.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrisgu15:
How long does it usually take to boot up?.. ive been stuck on the boot animation for right around five minutes. I did a battery pull and tired it again with a fresh install? what else can I do? I also tired Darksides superwipe..

ps. not a noob..

(update) I finally got it to work.

What did you do to get it to boot? Having the same problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Troy1:
Had the same issue. Had to boot into recovery, multiple attempts, and then cleared dalvik again and then reboot. Now I'm afraid to reboot. Took forever. But I really like this Rom. Good job dev:D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] janitorjohnson:
I love all the ringtones man. Those are great. Is there any way to get the lockscreen to not vibrate. I don't like haptic feedback at all.

There was also a bug I wanted to report that I can't seem to remember right now. I might have to flash it again to see.

Definitely gotta be the best CM9 build so far though. Call volume seems fine. Ran the other CM9 builds and would have kept them, but people kept complaining they couldn't hear me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
Wifi calling doesn't work on CM9 ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
Hence that's why he is asking. To answer your question wifi calling is a TMobile thing and it's built into TMobile roms. Err won't be seeing then on aosp based roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsfaze:
Running great so far, v6 enabled with no issues. fwiw I flashed this over the unofficial hercules Cm9 build, no wiping at all and it booted with no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxflyingarmbarxx:
What kernel are you guys running on this rom? Im trying to flash Eugenes V4 kernel but i keep getting boot loops at the samsung screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hahahaclneo:
i had the same problem when i tried his kernel, went back to darkside v7 because i couldnt get it to boot

Im thinking about doing the same thing i just dont want to. I love the way this rom runs and feels. This is the first rom that actually pulled me away from Darkside roms lol

Just read all 6 pages and couldn't fine my answer. Anyone having data issues? It was working fine the first few hours after flashing this rom. Now can't get my data to work. My apn setting looks OK. I even reflashed the newest T-Mobile radio:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxflyingarmbarxx:
Had this issue when i first flashed. I let it sit in airplane mode for around 10mins, turned airplane mode off and data was up again.

Clear the data and cache in the market. Then delete your Google account under accounts and sync settings. Restore your Google account and you should be good to go.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icebrkr:
Yeah, I'm having a boot problem too. Just black screen the whole time. I haven't tried to logcat anything though. I used Darkside's SuperWipe as well.. I've been doing this stuff since the G1 and these days it can't get much easier to flash a new ROM. So I'm not sure what I'm missing or doing wrong here. :(

Hi all, I've jumped over from MiUi to this rom to try something new and I can't seem to get any data connections...? I see bars but no "3G" or "H"... I tried the airplane mode for 10 minutes trick and did a full wipe plus darkside superwipe but still not luck... I did do a "restore all system data" from TB, could this be causing the problem? Maybe an APN issue? Thx for your help :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jg01:
I can say that this rom work and works very well. to your issue, did you do a complete wipe ( darkside)? if you did, delete the following directories andriod.secure, andriod, data and LOSTfrom your storage, do then darkside again, a factory reset from recovery, flash rom, wipe cache (darkside cache wipe - on this site), reboot let sit. If you don't wipe dalvik cache it can cause an asortment of issue coming from rom to the next. good luck

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

This is by far the best rom I have tried from this site. I have tried at least 20 roms and it just works very well....smooth, does what it should..I don't find my self feeling like a beta tester fixing bugs...thank you !! must be because you test it first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Knightsofwar210:
The only thing I do not like about CM9/This ROM are the lack of toggles. What's the easiest way to disable data? Just get a widget from the market? Anyone have any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Marmle:
I ended up getting it to boot. i did darkside then wiped dalvik then installed rom and wiped dalvik again and re flashed the rom again... then it booted.. Great ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] houboy:
You could go into settings and then Cyanogenmod settings and look the settings up for toggles in there, i dont remember the specific path to the settings though since I'm not on CM9...There are specific toggles for things like data, sync, and more though..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n0tr1x:
