Is this still needed and / or valid if the radio flash was never done via odin? If so, I'm trying to use Heimdall on linux and it detects the phone however when I try to load the file I get a message stating firmware.xml is missing from the package. Is this a Heimdall issue (and I should use windows and Odin) or something else?

I'm running n15 and I'd say its 95% better than anything else I have flashed lately. I had a freeze up but that's it and have ran this since noon yesterday. Stock kernel. I'm happy. We will see how this continues. Thanks Mikey!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sigloiv:
For anyone wondering, the n15 build definitely has something not in the nightly builds yet, as mikeyman hasn't had a Gerrit or Github commit since before 5/23. Gonna try it now, hopefully it fixes the random slowdown issue I and others have had.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
True. The best you can do is press and hold the home button. That's really Android's built in task manager, but it works well. I know most people say it's not a task manager, but it really is. I've tested it several times. It closes any apps in the list, and clears RAM. If you want to check how it works open an app like Gmail or Facebook. If you open Gmail for instance, it normally opens right to the inbox without refreshing. All your emails are right there. Now if you simply press the home or back button to exit Gmail, and then open it again, it instantly opens like it did before, but press the home or back button to exit, and then long press the home button, and you will have Gmail in the app list. Clear it from the list, and then open the app again. You will notice it now has to take a bit to load because it's no longer sitting in memory. Same with Facebook. Open it after a "normal" exit, and it pops right open to your feed, but if you clear it from the app list, it opens to the blue screen with "facebook" in the middle for a bit while it loads. One other sure way to know it works is monitor your memory total. With several apps open my memory is showing 380/788. If I clear all the apps via long press home, and pressing the top "clear all" button, and check again, it now shows 150/788.

Sorry for the long rant/explanation, but so many argue the long press home button is not an app/task manager when in fact it is.

when updating past 4/23 i can't get service. tried reinstalling from complete format and still same thing. tried wiping delvik and cache. installing different radios. still the same result. says dc+ (don't know where h+ went lol) then nothing then tries again. then repeats. any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
The "H+" is no longer there. You will see "DC" (Duel Channel) now. It has replaced the "H+". Maybe try to flash the newest radio again, and then wipe cache(s)/fix permissions.

Not sure if this has been mentioned (not sure how to search a thread with XDA app) but is "USB mass storage device" not an option anymore? I'm only seeing MTP and PTP as connection options :(

I'm running mikey's n15 build if that matters.

EDIT: Just saw in the general forum that it was removed due to instability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevo777:

But now I'm curious......any idea why the change from "H+" to "DC"?

EDIT: Upon further Googling, looks to be some cell tower/T-Mo network upgrades, I guess.

n15 is looking great!

I'm running the Odin UVMC6 radio with the mikeyman77's "n15" release.

Up for 75 hours with ZERO RRs and ZERO SODs.

Runs great with the stock CM kernel. Also runs great with Cl3Kener's

STABLE and UBER Linaro kernels. I'm running it with Cl3Kener's

Linaro build of AwesomeBeats and it is, simply put, just awesome.

This is one of the most stable 4.2.2 builds for this device; certainly

the best since the 4/24 Framework change. Mikeyman77; you have

brought great honor to this development community. This virtual Bud

Odin / Heimdall

I wan't to update from the CM 10.1 4/20 that I'm running but understand that I need to flash a new radio through Odin. Not having messed with Odin in over a year and having deleted my windows VM because I thought I wouldn't need it any more I figured I'd have to start from scratch.

I went to Team Chopsticks page linked in the OP, Followed the link to the installation instructions ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_hercules ) and there is no mention of Odin just Heimdall, Heimdall, Heimdall.

What is the thinking on this. Is Heimdall coming along and now OK to use? Can I use it to flash the new radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
No just download odin and put file in pda section hit start and wait until done.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
Just for some clarity, flashing a ROM doesn't change any firmware but from what I understand restoring a backup does. I think to be clear anyone testing Mikey's experiment should include the output of

cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_rpm/fw_version

/fw_version

Flashing a ROM won't update your Fimrware. You have to ODIN Mikeyman's package poste a few posts back or go back to stock, update through Kies and reroot. If I'm correct ;)

It is highly sensitive on how the package is uploaded. I see many conflict posts about n15, or other nighties. It seems dirty flash may work the first time, not after several times. Even factory reset would need multiple times if one time did not bring back required results.

I have seen GPS issue, blue tooth issue and memory leak issue ( RR, sod) on all the nighties. Solution is super clean wipe. darkside super wipe may play the trick for you. Just be careful if you are using twrp.

On TWRP, I usually wipe dalvik, cache, full wipe and then wipe system. I install the rom and gapps and then reboot. Once it boots up, I wait 10 minutes and then reboot again. Then, I set up my phone and it is ready to use!

On n15, it's been running pretty good for me. Only problem is the 480p video thing where you switch back to camera and it FC's. Other than that, it's great!

4.5 Days: No RR or SOD

OK. Up for 4.5 days now w/ no RR or SODs. On "n15" build with

Odin Radio firmware. Very good stability w/ the new framework.

Some "glitches" here and there, but nothing show-stopping, IMHO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mituzora:
I've been running n15 for a few days now and I have seen some considerable problems with it.

It seems first and foremost that it hates the Facebook app. Every time I go to it, my phone slows down slower than a slug until its completely unresponsive.

Second of all its done a really odd thing to me that all of the system apps and the browser will force-close and then I get an RR which will not boot up. I have to pull the battery or hold the button down to reboot it.

Now It may be my fault as I've been dirty flashing, which I planned on clean flashing today, also unfortunately I can't provide logcats, but I will try next time it happens.

It seems to me this is the same thing that happened with the start of cm10 releases, but its hit and miss so...also its a lot better than those too.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait until its completely stable :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] telecom2k3:
I'm on TWRP 5 for recovery. I use the standard wipe (cache,dalvik,data,.android.secure) and run that twice. I then go

into Advanced and wipe System twice. I loaded the ROM. I loaded Gapps. I loaded the kernel (now on Cl3Kener's UBER).

I loaded my zip of TiBu. I loaded Cl3Kener's AwesomeBeats complete package. After the rebootm restored all apps

via a combination of Google Sync and TiBu (who really knows what re-loaded that application!).

I did restore Facebook from TiBu, but haven't been using it. When I fired it up a half-hour ago, lo and behold, the phone

quickly degraded to non-responsiveness and required a reboot. Then, when I went to uninstall Facebook, the phone

locked up again and required a reboot. After the reboot, I reinstalled Facebook from Play Store and has been working

fine.

I have had no problems with any of the system apps, browser, or anything like that.

Maybe the clean-flash will help you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crayz9000:
I have actually started recommending against using the Facebook app to everyone who asks me. While I don't use Facebook myself, my wife does and I recall her having no end of issues with the app's unresponsiveness on older devices. I've also heard many, many complaints about the intrusive way it hooks itself into your phone's contact database.

For anyone wanting to use Facebook, I would suggest using it through Chrome or Firefox mobile. About the only thing you lose is the built-in notifications; everything else works fine, if not better than before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwilensky:
Finding 5/26 a little laggy at times, but generally a good experience thus far. The only item that I can say for sure is that the phone does not pick up my voice when using Video Chat in Google Hangouts. Video works well, and I can hear the other caller, but the person on the other side can't hear me. Keep up the great work devs!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
Everyone has their own rituals, I only wipe once and only clean flash when necessary (i.e. changing source or version) and never experience issues that aren't known to be caused by the ROM itself.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
This is hokum. Facebook works fine on 420 but after 423 pretty much anything is going to break it. I flashed 529 and so far so good but after a few hours I'll know more.

I can't stress enough how important it is to have a good Nandroid backup.

BTW I dirty flash. And yes I'm on Mikey's modem thru Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crayz9000:
I'm not saying the Facebook app doesn't work at all. I'm also not trying to downplay any issues that might be caused by the latest nightly builds.

I'm just saying that the Facebook app is, and has pretty much always been, garbage (compared to a quality app such as Google+). It offers barely any functionality that you couldn't get through their mobile interface (notifications and contacts are about it), it doesn't offer any significant advantages in its interface vs. the mobile website, it's a memory hog, and it's a storage hog. It also has a habit of requiring a data clear every few days to keep it running smoothly.

On 5-26, was running more or less fine since install. Was browsing reddit when all of a sudden... F/C ALL THE THINGS

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sigloiv:
Yup, still getting this same problem on both n15 and the latest nightlies (with the newest firmware as well). A bunch of people don't have the problem at all, and have suggested that it has something to do with dirty flashing, but I did a full wipe last night (/system, /data, /cache in TWRP) and got a complete freeze (nothing responds for at least 1-2 minutes upon which everything magically starts working again or the phone does a soft RR) literally while I was restoring apps to Titanium (no system data, just user apps).

Actually, just for the sake of being thorough, would everyone who is having these slowdown issues post the apps they have installed? My freeze happened somewhere lower in the alphabet than Sonic Jump. Maybe Twilight (F.lux-like red tint screen filter) or UberSync for Facebook is causing these problems? I didn't open either during the restore, but maybe they popped services into the background that did it.

Honestly, I just need to catch it freezing during a logcat...definitely seems to happen most frequently when I'm browsing the internet with stock Browser though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
