The stock kernel is probably better off staying put. Everything is perfect... battery life seems better. Even on powersave governor its smooth. Tdj's would lag with that on..Also I wouldn't run any scripts since jb right now is too fragile. Trust me everything is awesome just the way it comes.. no radio no kernel no v6 just leave well enough alone. Also use twrp from now on.. I've made comparisons and it took alot to get me away from cwm because I'm scared of change lol but it seems a lot of yalls problems with sod's and rr's are all in the recovery you use. Team win all the way..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Digital1325:
I love TWRP, but I don't think the SODs are related to that because I use TWRP and I've gotten them as well. I want to give this another spin but he said something else is coming out of the oven so I'm going to stay put lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
I will agree there. I flash back and forth between my dd and this build. No extra kernel, radio, anything. Everything i flash is through twrp (and much like you i was leery at first, but i won't go back to cwm without some major changes) and everything is perfect. There are a couple quirks that keep this from dd for me, but other then that is pretty stable

Battery life

Just want to say Im going on 15 hours on my battery and Im still at 61%... This rom is so fast and smooth.. I love it cant wait for the updates.

Link isn't working right for me just takes me to the minus website and no download
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intelligencexan:
This roms been working really well

Good battery life and speed.

Only thing i have noticed was that sometimes when i turn on USB storage mode it doesn't get detected (even thou the phone says that it has gone into the usb storage mode) and then i have to try multiple times to get it connected. I don't have this issue when i connect any other device or the same device with the aokp roms.

It was a completely clean flash with no garbage carried over from previous ones. I wiped and super wiped and super cache wiped before flashing this beast over.

Other Than the above mentioned concern, this rom is amazing!

Had the 9/9 installed with InstigatorX's v6.3.6 kernal, and rotation fix and haven't had a RR or SOD all day yesterday.

Installed the 9/11 update, again with InstigatorX's v6.3.6 kernal and rotation fix and it's been almost two hours and not a single RR or SOD, this combination seems to work pretty well for me anyways.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Futant:
Interesting issue I am having on this Rom. Data encryption does not function. I was on 9/5 and this worked. I am on 9/8 now and now the device just sits at the encryption screen forever until a reboot. Does anyone know if this is fixed on the 9/11 build? (Unlikely I know, but worth a shot) I need this feature because it is required by my device admin for email.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] busab:
I flashed the 9/11 build straight over the 9/8 build. Wiped dalvik and cache afterwards. I have had ZERO problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Device just turned off by it self. Have full battery too. Got a text and it just turned off. Not good! Plus had a SOD after installing a few apps from the market and then got a text and it froze to a black screen. Had to pull battery. The button combo didn't respond! Running build 09/11 Dang! Wish these bugs would die!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
go to the tmobile site or do a search for the proper apn and then set it up... Are you having issues after setting it up or you have not done this step as of yet. Also make sure Wifi is off when you try and send and receive pics for the first time. Usually the settings are pre-installed in this rom

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

It works for me no problem. After installing rom you should wait for a few minutes before signing in to make sure you have a good data connection. Then sign in and I usually turn on my wifi, if it goes on with out me having to enter my info then I know restoring has started.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Think about it this way, you may miss out on merges but they don't matter if your phone keeps cutting off on you. Now with a custom rom even though its missing some merges you still get to use your rom and OC/UV...

I guess I'm confused. When I flash the ROM all my apps and conversations from sms and email are all still there. I am not doing a factory resset every time.

What I am seeing in the thread is some coorelation between app store updates, the kernel and SoD. What would the kernel have to do with app store updates though unless its the radio? I'm using UVLH1. So, I had 2 SoD almost back to back about hour and a half after flash. No problems since then. What is RR? :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
RR is a random reboot its like you rebooting the phone yourself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jthumanist:
I have not detected any random reboots. SoD I know though. Last couple times it was while writing a text message both times

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

I recommend going with third party SMS, I use Chomp because I think its faster and doesnt eat battery as bad as some of the others. I didnt have to set up anything and I just received a pic.

Also, notices taht my T-Mobile Visual Voice mail isnt working. Anyone else??

Hi, first of all thank you for the hard work! Looking forward to the rom when I install it tomorrow but can I ask a quick question to anyone that may know?

How exactly do you guys backup and recover your programs and settings? I've used titanium backup pro in the past but it was causing me problems that I haven't used it for over a year. The last time I've installed a rom, I would either wait for google to reinstall and download everything and the other time was to just do it manually. The reason why I kinda don't like to install a new rom is because of the fact that I'll have to probably do everything manually again. I don't know just a question I've been having. I really want to have the freedom to seamlessly switch roms whenever I want to without taking a long time to reinstall everything again. I hope this is even possible.

Thank you again!

It's generally super difficult to break, as you can always boot to recovery or reflash it with ODIN if something breaks. But as always, not impossible. I have not heard of any unbricking methods for hard bricks myself, maybe through JTAG tools, but it shouldn't be an issue.

To fix your screen issue check "Disable HW overlays" under Development Options in Settings.

You try going back to an earlier radio? All my sod and rr went away when I went back to LE1 from LH1. Furthermore, my speeds went back up. Not sure if there is a correlation, but worked for me. I only went back to LE1 for speed test purposes and everything stabilized.
