Interesting to hear this one. I use this mash-up on my Nexus 7 so I was reading up on this thread. I am currently on a different JB ROM [listed as: [ROM][JB:CM10:HYBRID][UNOFFICIAL]ParanoidAndroid 2.22 for T989/Hercules[15 Oct 2012] ].

I know when I first flashed I forgot to wipe my data and coming from an ICS ROM I had an issue where when I tried to enter Paranoid settings they would FC.

When I went back and made sure to wipe data system and caches and then re-flashed all of a sudden it began working.

I wonder if it maybe something similar here as I have full access to storage settings under this ROM. I will try flashing this ROM and report back.

Keep in mind currently in JB I have read everywhere that MTP works in Windows 7 [MAKE SURE your computer is set to pull drivers from Windows Update as that is where the MTP driver is grabbed from in 99% of cases (click the driver install icon in system tray as it is happening and it will list the devices it is installing and what it is currently doing and has link to change if windows update is checked for drivers)] AND NOT in Mac OSX or Linux [I dont compute with fruit so will never confirm apple and have not used my Linux box yet so cant speak personally)].

I can say MTP is working in Win 7 Pro 64-Bit, AND REMEMBER WITH MTP ENABLED BOTH THE PHONE AND COMPUTER HAVE ACCESS TO ALL STORAGE AT ALL TIMES WHEN CONNECTED VIA USB [is why they are moving to MTP AND DONT FORGET ITS DIFFERENT in Windows look under my computer for a SGH-T989 listing click that and inside it lists both internal and external storage and thats where you access it it is no longer listed directly in my computer as a drive letter]. THIS INCLUDES ADB FUNCTIONING AS WELL.

Before you say something I am currently using my device on Win 7 64-Bit Pro and have ADB enabled and using it while checking storage via computer and phone and all have access with no problems. The old rules do not apply when MTP is fully working and drivers are installed, and is why they are moving to using it in Android so you don't have to constantly turn storage on and off to access it on phone or computer or to have ADB run it all runs transparently with no mode switching.

Hope this helps, downloading this ROM now as I have this on my Nexus 7 and would love to have it running on my phone as well!

Video Camera Issue

I have not seen it mentioned before, my apologies if it has already (i did use the search button as well as reading through the entire thread)

I seem to be having quality issues with the video camera. I get the squiggly lines like you get when you are pressing the tracking button on an old vcr. (Damn i feel old).

Forward to about 37 seconds and you will see it go crazy.

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Wipe flash rom

Flash gapps

Fix permissions.

I can't access storage in settings or it will FC.

FIRST I will say really awesome work bringing this ROM to our T989!

I can't wait until the paranoid side of the ROM gets an update, because I live in tablet mode both on my N7 and on the phone. The newer Paranoid 2.2+ has the option in display to hide the navigation bar, but the current version you have here does not include that option. When I switch to tablet mode the navigation bar is essentially too large that it covers almost all the status bar [I see last half of the time etc to the right.

If you do get the updated paranoid that includes the ability to get rid of the annoying nav bar [I mean I am surpirsed Google did not include that in Jellybean source anyways for the devices with hardware keys that still are capable of running Jellybean. I understand they want to do away with them, but come on Google].

I did try the Manag Storage in settings and no matter what I have tried it definitely FCs. I am not good enough [yet] with Android Source to go in and try to help address this, but I did try a ton of the usual fixes and even some searching to figure this one out. IMHO this is not a huge deal as you have plenty of apps available on market to not only manage/view storage usage, but also, yo toggle apps to and from SDCard, and toggle the way the USB connection is handled for you that you can use [thus negating all need to use this screen, though I will say it is a handy easy to use place that would be nice to have a fix for which I am sure is probably in the works].

I can't wait until the Paranoid side of this ROM gets updated to Paranoid 2.2+ then I will be all over it like an extremely bad habit [DEATH TO THE NAV BAR ON DEVICES WITH HARDWARE KEYS]!

Here is a link to the version I am using of Paranoid that is 2.2+ and does tablet mode with hidden navigation bar incase it helps to maybe port this code in as the paranoid base [though I bet there maybe more adjustments with the CNA code to get them working together, but hey maybe not, maybe if we could get this as the paranoid code in this ROM we could get lucky as the Manage Storage screen works perfectly in this ROM along with the sweet ability to completely get rid of the nav bar (which is the default setting! (Found in display under settings from home screen if I remember right)]: [ROM][JB:CM10:HYBRID][UNOFFICIAL]ParanoidAndroid 2.22 for T989/Hercules[15 Oct 2012]

Thanks for the feedback. I mentioned the size of the navbar to the guys as well. So I'm assuming it will be added next go around. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't realize it was due to an "older" version of PA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
I tried probably three times. All three times were super clean installs, using both Darkside superwipe script and twrp 2.2.2.0 as well as twrp 2.3.1.1 and all available wipe options including factory reset and system wipes etc. No way to access storage settings without FC. An aside note also vague android.process.media" errors, on bootup when first getting to desktop. And also tried various gapps as well as no gapps installs :(

And yes, I also had wiped caches as well as fix permissions manually or via darkside cache wipe script too. Currently also on Paranoid 2.22 with no issues.

Great Rom few strange issues

I'm loving this rom. What a great blend.

I am also experiencing the transparent issue. Mine manifests itself on beautiful widgets weather when you click on the widget and it goes into the full weather info. Hopefully that is fixed soon.

I'm have a graphical glitch with swiftkey 3. Anytime you hit a key the whole keyboard shifts up one pixel then back down. I haven't messed with any paranoid settings. I am just on a clean installs settings.

I seem to be the only one with water mic issues.

I'm using TWRP to flash. I did a clean install (not with superwipe), after the issues I did do a super cache wipe and still the same problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gamesoul Master:
I hadn't noticed this issue until you said something, but it's definitely happening. Almost makes me wonder if that's the cause of my keystrokes very occasionally closing the keyboard, even when I'm certain I didn't press outside of it (which only rarely happens, and only when I'm pressing a keyboard on the very bottom row, like Space or Period).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:

Bluetooth Tether

For those looking for it (and anyone who uses their phone as a hotspot (especially a wireless one)),

I can vouch for the Bluetooth tethering working. I am currently using it to write this post.

To get Bluetooth tethering running...

First go in to Bluetooth on phone and tablet and turn them on (settings> Bluetooth) tap the top entry for the device you are on and you will see a countdown stay and it will say visible to other devices.

During this countdown look at tablet and tap search for devices

Once you see the phone appear tap the entry and tap pair

On phone: tap the confirmation to fully pair them

Then go to settings> more> tap hotspot

Tap checkbox to enable Bluetooth tethering

(If you just turn off then on Bluetooth and don't disable tether it should always enable tether when you turn on Bluetooth (of course come back here and enable it if for some reason you can't surf internet)

Now that Bluetooth Tether is enabled...

With Bluetooth on on both devices: go to settings and tap left side of Bluetooth again to see listing of devices and single tap phone (can do this from either device really) to connect Bluetooth connection

You should now see it connect and Bluetooth icon in notification tray go blue (and get a notification of hotspot enabled on phone)

Note: it should enable internet connection sharing by default to check this at anytime visit Bluetooth device list and hit the settings icon to the right of the tablet entry on your phone and tap to put check in box (or remove if present) to enable or disable internet sharing.

This is device wide and functions with any app just as if you had Wi-Fi running and connected as well :)

Have fun surfing....

Yes, it runs full speed I stream Netflix this way.

Also, Bluetooth uses less power then a Wi-Fi connection (which also means your phone won't get as warm (it will poorly get a touch warm just not as bad as Wi-Fi)).

Also unless you specifically go in to Bluetooth and tap to make phone visible no one around you will even see the hot spot running which makes it way more secure and a ton less likely anyone could try and hack their way in!

This is what I have been waiting a long time for full Bluetooth tethering support! Thank you Jellybean, FINALLY!!

Been thinking about maybe trying a different kernel (just to see how it'd go), but disabling HW overlays fixed the keyboard problem for me. I hadn't tried it because I had already disabled it for getting one of my emulators to work properly, but I guess it re-enabled itself at some point (maybe when I switched ROM's for a few hours the other day).

Thanks for reminding me about the kernel though. Gonna see about finding one with some better governors in it. I miss the badass governor, but there's a few I'd take over ondemand or interactive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
The problem is that a large R of the kernels are outdated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Oh, by the way for those using those keyboards that are essentially Swype clones, you really should register for the beta and download Swype (even if using the version included with some S2 ROMs the newer beta is much better). Plus if you go in to its settings and enable it they now have handwriting recognition built in. Can't live without my Swype tapping letters just takes too long.

Included link to the site below, just register for free and check your email for link (or now once account verified they have manual download link included on page after you log-in).

Swype Beta Site

Oh and works with ALL versions of Android (Gingerbread+ haven't tried beta on lesser Android versions (and every device I have tried)) and no limit to number of downloads/or devices you install it to! Just download and save installer and run that login and it walks through download and installation (and doesn't matter now if you have older version it will still install anyway and you can still use older version that came with ROM or switch to beta at anytime (why you would I dunno, but you can :) )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gamesoul Master:
I haven't used Swype in at least a year or two... Never did like trying to slide my words out. Worked fine, but I prefer my rapid tapping... lol. Didn't know they removed the device limit though, that's nice at least.

I've been rocking the SwiftKey keyboard ever since I got this phone last year, mostly because I missed the Sense keyboard which always worked so well. The upgrade to SwiftKey X was slightly disappointing, but improvements since release have kept it as my favorite keyboard.

Even though it's an old kernel??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
You can still tap words out via Swype, and I will say it took me roughly a week to fully adjust and realize it's full potential (mostly because I skipped the tutorials (both on site and found via long pressing Swype button and right in preferences). Once I found out about things like when Swyping a word if you are on a letter and Swype up above keyboard and back down to next letter it Capitalizes it, or adding a LOOP to that same motion CAPITALIZES whole word, or when you need a double letter Swype a loop over letter and finally punctuation is added by Swyping over said mark and it's added all helped me to really fly when using it. Not to mention they use a Dragon Naturally speaking engine for voice recognition (one of if not the best in the industry (started by tapping flame looking icon it's not a Mic icon)) which was only added after beta started for some time no device includes Swype has Dragon voice engine have to use beta to have that.

Don't mean to take up to much of thread on non ROM related chat, but many many users seem to not realize there are little tricks to using Swype to its full potential and once I demo or explain them they seem to find it a TON more useful :)

SOME old/ported kernels can work in JB as long as they load the right drivers, modules and all. It can be a crap shoot though finding out if the one you like works, so if you don't have time to nandroid. [Don't forget nandroid backup in recovery and no matter what happens (short of a brick issue like corrupting the boot image (essentially as long as you can get back to recovery really)) you can return your device back to the way it was at that last nandroid backup so if experimenting nandroid and really no worries just run restore in recovery] then look online for comments as to whether it works (and I always say STILL run nandroid if you don't want take the time rebuilding your apps/settings as you can never be 100% sure you won't have something go wrong no one expected).

Besides, running nandroid doesn't take that long really ;)

Also, note as I have posted elsewhere for instigator kernel (and any others ported from skyrocket to Hercules (our phone):

Dunno for sure if this still is an issues as well but all sensors (including orientation) were installed upside down physically between the T989 (T-Mobile S2) and T989D (Skyrocket), so just like you need rotation fix you may find things like accelerometer, compass, magnetometer, etc. Sensors report, but values may be opposite (thus wrongly reported even though they are collecting data still) of what the ROM expects making them useless.

This was mostly a problem when ICS ROMs were ported between the 2, but will probably be at issue in this circumstance as well.

I'll definitely be installing that update when I get home.

Got my first SoD since first installing the initial release. Which isn't bad at all, especially considering the only other time it happened was within the first half hour of first installing this amazing ROM.

Also, has anybody else noticed data issues? Haven't had a chance to test whether it's the ROM or T-Mobile, but my data has been really shaky. Sometimes my speeds plummet to maybe 10 KB/s (while on H+) and sometimes it'll work a little better... Or not at all. Took me over 5 minutes to get to this thread from the app. Radios make no difference (tried a few), but sometimes a reboot and/or clearing caches helps a bit.

I haven't noticed any issues with haptic feedback on my end, but I have noticed that the option to "Hold back to kill" doesn't work. Which isn't a big deal to me at all, just something I noticed.

See, I never understood that either. As far as I've known, gapps is a collection of Google apps. But even if you install an older one, doesn't the market just update them to the latest version anyway?

Yes, you can use any version of gapps. Older ones will just update as you use the older version of the app in question (for newer versions of market all other gapps apps list in with all the other app updates in the market). You can use newer versions to avoid the updates (of course be sure it is for the overall Android version you just flashed don't mix ICS packs with JB for instance). Also, if Google adds new apps to the collection then you would have to download via market as opposed to having the newer app in a newer version of gapps installed when you flash gapps.

There are rare issues (like video in talk not working in one as opposed to another, but again generally searching for apps on market you can update or download any missing (generally, as rarely there may be like a build issue when they did that version or your device may not like a certain file or whatever in a version, again pretty rare)).

Generally, I just flash whatever I have in device until I remember to check http://www.goo.im/gapps for any updates. They also have changelogs linked at goo for review of any known issues or what was updated.

So I'm having a data speed issue. Even flashed a different radio didn't help. The issue is I can't get past 6 megs down and that includes on WiFi with this ROM. I even backed flashed 1.1 with a clean install and still get the same. I move back to a ICS ROM and bam 23 megs down 26 on WiFi which I think is the limit of the radio since my network is 50 megs down and I'm using 450ghz WiFi dual antennas. You know where receive is in the 2.4 side dual and the send goes out the 5.4 side. So I know for sure that my WiFi isn't an issue, I tested the tower with the GFs S2 and its getting 22/6.

So if anyone knows of a setting that I need to change please let me know cause I would rather stay on t by is ROM but need the speed when tether.
