Opened TWRP

Factory Reset + Wipe System + Wipe Cache

Flashed cm 10/25 nightly

Flashed 11a kernel

Flashed gapps 10/11

Rebooted

Waited 10 minutes

Rebooted

CPU Governor set to SmartassV2

Restored apps+data from Titanium and disabled forced gpu

Reboot

Smooth as a greased babies ass so far.

Update:

Used Titanium to uninstall DSP and installed AC!D Audio (you can get it in the apps section) and it works flawlessly, just make sure you uninstall DSP first then flash). Just letting everyone know it works with this nightly (it always has in every nightly I've tried, but in case someone asks).

So far very good battery life but I'll have to let it settle for a couple days before I can be judgemental, but no major drains.

I got one graphical glitch upon boot after changing to SmartassV2 and set to boot, but can not duplicate it/boots since then have been flawless and zero graphical issues.

Took a backup using TWRP because this is pretty much flawless. I think I'll stick with this until November when the first stable 4.2 nightly is released.

On 25 now, stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djgromit:
I have never used a kernel besides the stock and have kept a charge from morning through my work day with every nightly I've tried.

Not once have I had "excessive battery drain."

*edit* I should add that I'm on my phone all the time with heavy Gmail volume, work email syncing every 5 minutes, I typically have my screen bright because it looks better and I fidget with it in meetings, checking these boards all the time too, so I use it a lot.

I've had excessive battery drain with kko like 1% every few mins on WiFi. Keep in mind I'm also undervolted by -25 and unlocked to 1032..... I ran completely stock with cms kernel and lost maybe 1% in 15 mins on WiFi. Idk what's wrong but I can't do it on his kernel anymore

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hyelife:
10-25 Still has the Graphic Glitch. Disabling HW Render causes problems with video playback. 10-12 is probably the most stable release so far. What ever they did after that release caused allot of graphical issues. My Wi-Fi also does not stay connected. WIll wait till 10/26 nightly and if things don't fix i'm going to attempt to port MIUI on 10/12 build.

Again thanks CM team for the hard work!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I asked this in the AOKP thread, but it also pertains to CM10 as well. If this is a known fix for graphical issues, why hasn't it been added to the code by default? I am not a developer, but I would assume if it's an easy fix for the end user it would be fairly easy to implement from a coding standpoint.

Because they're not fixes. They're workarounds. If you set them, they mask the real problem, which is fine for you as an individual, but does the community a disservice if they just hide the issue wholesale, and not fix it.

This is still an incomplete ROM. I think we forget that.

Your gonna need root explorer pro from the play store.. It's a paid app but very worth it...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
I've been avoiding the CM10 builds until I what I've read here prompted me to believe they were stable enough to use as a DD. I just flashed 10/26 and I went all out with it. I made sure to do a clean flash and I restored user apps from a Titanium backup. I am using ROM Toolbox with CPU profiles to save battery, I flashed A BUNCH of tweaks via Pimp My ROM which have gotten rid of any lag I was experiencing at first, I made the build.prop edit for the flicker fix, and the only issue I've noticed so far is that my RAM usage seems to be a bit heavier. Still, it is smoking fast for me. So far so good. I'll report back if that changes.

:UPDATE: RAM usage has stabilized and the available RAM shows about the same as CM9 did for me after I unlocked my device.. The "scrolling smoothness" tweaks from Pimp My ROM have really made a difference in the smoothness of the UI. When I initially flashed it was kinda choppy but now its buttery.

Oops wrong section that was for the miui rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
I've briefly heard of Pimp My ROM but never really looked into it until now after reading your post. Just downloaded the HDPI version and going to give it a spin, looks very interesting to say the least. Which tweaks from it did you apply to CM10 other than the smoother scrolling?

Anyway, shall be taking the plunge on 10/26 since there hasn't really been any negative feedback on it. Just hoping that native BLN support isn't borked on it. For some reason it stopped working for me on the nightlies. I'm almost positive it was working fine on Vincom's build (6.0) without needing a 3rd party app. I ran a search a few times in here and can't seem to find much on it other than it works for some and not for others. If it doesn't work out of the box (without any apps installed) on 10/26, I'm going to see if it works on the SR build. Had better luck with them in the past.

Wow, not only are the backlight notifications working on 10/26, but thanks to some of those tweaks I have the smoothest CM/JB install I've ever had in terms of navigating around the UI and using the keyboard (zero stutter). Was very skeptical at first (how much better can CM get right?) but damn... this isn't placebo, best to just try it out. I'm probably the pickiest person when it comes to any KB lag whatsoever.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my new setup. 10/26 is the new winner for me. :thumbup:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
I flashed anything that dealt with network speed, dalvik and RAM, spl, faster reads and writes, battery life, and scrolling. I stayed away from anything that tweaks the kernel because the kernel is still experimental to some degree and I didn't want to mess anything up. I also did the GPS tweak which basically just add aGPS. I'm getting quick locks.

All of my camera apps are working which surprised me. I thought at least 1 would freeze. I was able to connect to the deck in my car via bluetooth and both music and phone worked. I've yet to find anything wrong with this ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
Ah okay, sounds exactly what I chose as well including the smartass v2 governor (heard lots of good things about it -- we'll see).

I'm incredibly surprised by the tweaks in this thing... I'm sitting in a room where I normally get ~-91-95 dBm, and it hasn't budged from -85 dBm yet... never even seen it that low before... This is almost too good to be true, I'm expecting my battery to take a huge hit from all of this. Now I just need my GF to call me while I'm in the other room... think that'll be the ultimate test considering it's the Bermuda triangle when it comes to reception of any kind. If this helps me hold one bar I'll be a very happy man.

The only thing this glorious tweak package is missing is the ability to save and load different configurations... but I'm guessing that's one thing aroma can't do. Anyway, cheers for the recommendation.

BBQLog Here.

TL;DR: Copy-Paste bug fix, lots of NullPointerException fixes, two SQL bug fixes, and they updated the Vendor_CM to include the ASUS Transformer tablet. No feature changes/additions.

Get here, via CM Updater, or via Goomanager (whenever they upload it).

Flashed 9:22AM (W/KKO.11a Kernel) - Running/Stable.

Video glitching still an issue (build.prop edits can fix/see fixes page).

Looks like 10/28/2012 Nightly will have a video driver update for the Huawei Ascend P1. May possibly fix our glitched video. Might not. Actually, probably not. Heres to hoping anyways. Mostly looks like it's a bump in mfc memsize, and use h/w decoding for TV-Out.

Flashable theme .zips typically replace the main UI .apks so only the UI commits will revert to whatever the themes were built on. However commits to the hardware, kernel, build priorities, and other apps will remain untouched

Although I think CM Theme Chooser themes don't replace the UI apks and work off the existing. Never looked into that though, might be wrong.

you have to be a little adventurous and open up the zip file and simply look at what your are about to flash. If you just see res/drawable folders then they basically are simply replacing png files within your already flashed system. If you see actual apk files you then have to go deeper. Now you will need to check what apk files are being replaced and then check to see if any of those files have recently been updated. It sounds crazy but its relatively a simple 5 minute thing.

If your theme changes lets say calculator or calendar apk then you check the changelog for CM to see has either one been updated lately. and so on and so on
