I have a random question: How can I remove the tmobile hot spot monitoring thing? I am on a month 2 month plan and apparently they don't allow us to use the hot spot feature. Is there a way I can remove their monitoring thing so I can use it? Thanks in advance

I actually couldn't find it in the JMT thread, but, given the keyword 'inverted', found a link to the appropriate velvet.apk here.

I've been trying to catch up on the Jedi threads (I really hate being the guy who asks a question that's been answered a few times already).

I'm flabbergasted that you can keep up with all this plus produce amazing ROMs. Why aren't you a CEO of a Fortune 500 or running for president or something? If you start a startup and need a C/C++/architect guy, I'm totally in.

Hey guys so I checked out pimp my from, it really wouldn't do anything to improve the ROM in any way IMO. Almost all of the tweaks that are available are either already in the ROM, or have been tested and have been removed in my venture to finding the best combo of tweaks and features. You can all feel free to give it a go but make sure you Android first, and like I said may not do much of anything to improve other than kick in a placebo effect after using the Aroma Installer:D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jblizzard888:
If you want s3 color scheme, flash that first before bloat.

If it's still freezing wipe cache again and fix permissions

If using cwm find darkside cache wipe and flash that

IMO, the easiest way is to go to the Google Play store, install Goo Manager. When you run it, it will offer to install TWRP. Click yes (or OK - I forget) and you're done. (AFAIK this is the recommended way if you go to the TWRP site)

It's supposed to be able to restore CWM nandroid backups, but, to be safe, I'd run a backup right off.

I've just recently switched from CWM, it's a nice improvement.

I can recommend you darth stalker very smooth and stable is in another level. no issues so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
It is very rude to come into another thread and recommend different roms. He asked about the stability of this rom(which is excellant). Please use PM if you wish to discuss different roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gupoloman:
I replicated this problem as well. I was also trying to flash s3 and bloat. It was booting to a black screen with only a clock on a toolbar. I replicated the problem on both cwm and twrp. I successfully flashed Rom by its self, so problems started when trying to add the s3 look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
I can only speak with TWRP recovery as I'm having lots of issues with CWM. If you have CWM, I highly recommended getting TWRP. Simply download goomanager from play store and hit menu button to install openrecovery.

My ROM is very stable and running smoothly.

these are the steps :

1. Reboot into TWRP recovery.

2. as always, backup your current ROM.

3. Select Wipe and select : factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, system

4. Go to install and run "Darkside SUPER WIPE script". if you don't have it, google and download into your root directory.

5. Install the ROM.

6. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permission.

7. install and run "Darkside CACHE WIPE script".

8. reboot system. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE for at least 10 minutes. If you have lots of video, photo, etc, it may take longer to finish the installation.

to be safe, wait till 20-30 minutes.

9. after the waiting period expired, you will see setup menu on the screen. just ignore it. Now reboot your phone.

10. Finish the setup (sign in to google account, etc). then check if everything works ok for ex : you got T-Mobile signal, root access, NFC, all the button working properly, etc.

11. If you have one or more issues, reboot again to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permission and install "Darkside CACHE WIPE" one more time. Hopefully the problem fixed. Otherwise, you might have bad installation. Just re-flash again.

12. If you don't have issues, skip step 11. Reboot to recovery. BACKUP your current ROM first and do this : wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. then select install zip files (S3 package, bloat). follow the recommendation order from pmtr3. I personally did not install the bloat. Always wipe cache and dalvik if you need to install apps from recovery.

Forgot one thing, make sure you have good battery life. I recommended at least 80% battery level.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
Agreed thank you sir
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pcaseiro:
Funny I was about to post the same thing...:laugh:

Anyway all I can say is these are the right steps to follow. The only steps I did differently were wiping 3x just to make sure and I didn't use darkside super wipe and it all worked perfectly.

Just make sure to wait more than 10 minutes. The first time I flashed it I just waited 10 minutes and it wasn't enough. The second time I waited 15 minutes I everything went smoothly.

Thanks for posting this to newbies to rom flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gupoloman:
I am not an inexperienced flasher and followed similar steps to flash this Rom. The only difference is that I flashed s3 look directly after flashing Rom. If the expectation is that the Rom alone should be flashed, booted, and allowed to settle before flashing add on zips it is not clearly stated in the op. Just trying to get to the bottom of the troubles myself and others have had while flashing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
All this is good but the darkside stuff...it was made for cwm and really has no effect on twrp and those steps are not needed...you could just wipe in twrp again instead...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
NEVER flash anything over the ROM before letting it boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gupoloman:
Thanks for clarification. For aosp Roms, gapps is flashed in succession after the Rom. Not sure why this would be different if not explicitly stated. The op states that s3 look is flashed after Rom and before bloat with no mention of re boots. Should s3 look also be allowed to boot and settle before flashing bloat? A more detailed description of how s3 look and bloat fit into the flash sequence in the op might be helpful for preventing these problems.

For real? :banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
This is not aosp and not gapps. If you look at the Directions on the OP, it specifically says to flash ROM and let sit for 10 minutes before touching.... not flash ROm and any other zip you may want then let sit

The apk is in the system app folder but if I click on it and select install, it says application not installed. If I try to restore it through Tb, it freezes. Also notice that when I click it it doesn't ask if I want to replace an app, so for some reason it is not registering as a system app to begin with. I have redownloaded zip.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theoreticaljerk:
Hard for me to think of a good title for this but here is what I have experienced.

On a completely stock non-rooted non-unlocked Verizon GS3 I installed Apex Pro which I used on my GNex before. Everything seemed to work great but over time I noticed a problem.

It seemed that randomly I would find myself back in the TW launcher. Hitting the home button while in the TW launcher would then relaunch Apex.

I figured it was an Apex problem and ended up back using TW as my default launcher but Apex was still installed.

I then noticed the exact same problem only it was Apex that would randomly show up and the home button would return me to TW.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
I noticed with Go Launcher that when it had an automatic update and finished updating, that I was put back in the TW launcher. I didn't try the Home button solution to get back to Go Launcher - I went to my app drawer and ran it.

This doesn't explain your problem in reverse.
