I flashed wiping everything but /data since I was at work and didn't have time to do a backup, and Shadow 1-28-14 did not boot successfully. I tried wiping cache after install and that didn't work either. I have it booting now with Tiberius 2.5.

I noticed the clock on the lockscreen changed. I liked having the time and next alarm there, I will most likely be going back.Also, the AM/PM gets pushed off the screen when there are four digits. I don't mind, thought you'd like to know.

I do like the cleaned up notification drawer. Any chance you can make the text smaller in the notificaiton draw?

Thanks for all the hardwork. Also, in the future, can you not put asterisks in the build name? It messes up Online Nandroid backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
I have never been able to recreate the bootloop I even went to cm 11 for a while and shadow booted right up no problem.. I really think some of you may have burnt your chips a little around the edges haha..

enable "With swipe lock" in settings under lock screen.. you have your time and date back.

Not all chips are created equally. Enjoy.. I have an update.. actual working init.d support..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
also I am done for a while trying to make this boot for everyone... so from now on I dont care if it boots for you .. I hope it does but if it doesnt I tried everything I know to do.. upgraded toolchains, kernel and machine

I will likely rebuildthe kernel once more from scratch, well from original source, that is.

Thanks for the feedback though I seriously thought this would boot for all but obviously not.

signing off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Prince_Of_Jokers:
This is The best rom ive Tried and the theming is awesome. very fast and stable.but i do miss the alarm clock next to the clock on the lockscreen. and the "clear all" button on the notifications .so ill just stick with frost bite for that. other than that thanks for the hard work of giving us the best rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Rushing.....this might be irrelevant .....and I know you're taking a break from the no boot issue.....but...

I wonder if there's something to the model of the phone? Mine was a t989d...telus model....and the whole time people kept having boot issues, mine never had an issue. Not sure how many versions I flashed without issue, but it was a few anyway. LOL

Wonder if anyone on a t989d can report their experience booting with Rushings kernel, past and present? Like I said....I never once had the issue....it always booted fine. Also....I've always used twrp 2.5.0.0 with any 4.1.2 roms and used BOTH infamous wipes before flashing. I don't think the telus radio was the key to my success, cause I think a couple shadow roms flashed the tmobile radio...yet I still booted fine.

Just my observations. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
I do think the model just may have something to do with it.

But the question to me still remains... Why then does Kl3keners kernel boot for all?

Well he is a kernel wizard... and he says hes not a kernel pro.. But that's bs he is an elite pro kernel builder. He understands it all where as I hope for the best, hahaha.

So I'm going to make two builds one with my modded kernel and one with stock kernel.. please flash Tiberious kernel if you have any probs.

Sent from an iphone...what a P.o.s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
okay here is my first ROM with init.d support that actually works.. others I built had init.d but didnt work so I dont think I even included that as an extra function when I learned that it didnt really work.

so here it is this one better boot cause its stock kernel from tmo... if this one doesn't boot for anybody please do let me know.. I am eating my words of earlier times, lol... for instance if this one didnt boot then I will look at the modules the .ko files in system/etc/modules ( this is just to remind me) and change them out for stock as well...

Here it is with init.d support and totally stock kernel.. with no asterisks =] and no other changes except the file in init.d that will out put a file to data/Test.log that reads Init.d is working !! and then the time of boot is displayed as well. lots of reading and rebuilding/testing/flashing to get that done.

SHADOW#1113
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
SHADOW_1114 this ROM.zip has the am/pm fix on the lock screen as well as the time/date and alarm text... smaller text in notification drawer .. thanks for the good eye you have =] also this one has my kernel in it for those that boot it. and init.d support here too

also my kernel runs it.

edit also went back to green checks and dots or radio buttons as samy, or is it google, refers to them.

these will be white again in 1115
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
SHADOW_1115.zip fairly sure this one is stock kernel with all the fixes plus white check-marks and buttons==> like those found on reboot screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
this one is..

this one is.. for me but you guys can use it..

all the fixes...

its powerful kernel delivers 2.2GHz of JUICE to Shadow RIZOM.

no bln support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daluke:
I also had some major boot loop problems. But this is an old phone and has been banged up threwout the years so I don't expect it to always handle oc roms. But what I did is after finally getting it to boot successfully. installed set cpu and dropped it to 1782 max. Gotta say after doing that super smooth rom. Loving it. Had an issue on wifi though, it makes and takes calls but will not allow ingoing or outgoing texts? Anways love whatcha doing man thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Oh Rushing, am I glad to be on an unlimited data plan on Tmous. Lol, ive been downloading roms, thank God I didnt flashed anything yet, so much to choose from, thanks dude for all the work you put out for us.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...

Ill really flash this first with the green, but thanks again for all the options.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daluke:
Update: after 12 or so hours the rom settled and running at the stock oc like butter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Funny. I couldn't get your kernel to boot for a while. But somewhere along the way, it booted. Sometimes I had to flash the cache wipe zip, but it has been stable since just before Frostbite 1.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

This one have the init.d
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Yeah its got the init.d support.

Time to update the op I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsromano:
When did you flash the cache wipe zip? (You're talking about the Infamous scripts?) Can you please provide your methodology? As great as Tiberius is, I'd love to get this rom working with the kernel it comes with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
AFter I flashed the ROM. Then, I let it reboot and I let it sit for a solid 20 minutes. Went and did something else for a while. Then, I logged in and then rebooted to flash the infamous script. That's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] visualist6x6:
I've run Shadow_1115 and it boots perfectly. I even tried going to the non-stock kernel and it boot looped again. I went back to 1115 and no boot loop! Thanks for all your hard work Rushing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
so then it did boot.. you let it sit for a while and then logged in.. to google? I guess and then wiped cache in recovery with cache wipe?

Is that anywhere close to right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YoshiNurijumi:
Rushing...you are by far one of the best ROM builders on here. Giving full support and everything. If your ROM doesnt boot, all good cause theres a fix for it and the ROM still kills it. I appreciate everything you have done. If someone here doesnt, theres the door, dont let it hit you in the ass!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Thanks man.. I have learned so much since my first visits to xda I owe it all to the Devs around here =]

but yeah man I tried and tried and the thing is there is always a fix., no matter what. thats why I keep trying I know there is a fix for everything broken... its not an egg! HaHAHaHA!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Exactly. It came up dandy. The only reboots I get is if I'm doing some downloads (such as downloading Google Music files), and concurrently navigating to a website or some other activity. I've had it reboot under those conditions pretty regularly, but if I take it easy during downloads, it's solid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsromano:
Are you saying you let it sit on the green Shadow boot screen with the bar at like 20% for awhile, then came back and it had booted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Damn I love you work. I really wish you would dabble a bit with 4.3 or 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stlouisblues:
Just wanted to say thanks.

Rushing, just a quick note to let you know that I appreciate all of your hard work. Your latest ROM is my new daily driver and I suspect that it will be until your KK is released. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
I am making cm builds... just pure cm11 on the side .

but anyone can dl those from CM so no whooptydo yet

Got CM?

I was going to take a good version of it one day and pimp it deluxe.

make it more like mmm shadow =]

but I really have a lot to learn as far as adding features from CM.. probably wont be long till I get the hang of cherry picks... probably after I read Kl3k3ners Guide Develop Now!

but thddude is making the best work in that realm already. very devoted and also provides all the latest features as far as I can read.

right now... building pure vanilla CM11 for fun should be done in 15 minutes or so... Java whilst I wait.. not really waiting lol.. bout to head off to werk... more nuclear waste to dispose of today...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
No, I was able to get past that. If you are not getting past the boot screen, I would recommend you run the infamous scripts and then go back to the ROM. Perhaps the full wipe, or perhaps the cache wipe. If it still doesn't get past, I would go with Tiberius.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
for those that can boot my ICED kernel then I have a 2.5GHz OC'd KERNEL =] its very stable even passed an antutu test at full max and scored just under 1400 the first try.. what I mean is i didnt even let it settle yet I just dont have the time for that but I can tell this one is smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaniolo:
I just loaded the shadow 1115. Which kernel is this stock? Iif so I dont mind trying your ice or this newer one. When I loaded freezerburnt I had no problem with the ice kernel. Have a link for that? Thanks.

Uhmmm... I think I found it, is it the link on the first page all the way at the bottom of the OP? Is this this newest kernel you are talking about ? the 2.5GHz OC'd KERNEL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
Has anybody flashed Tiberius 2.6 (specifically the 2Ghz version) with any of Rushing's ROMs? For some reason when I flashed it, it shows up as Tiberius 2.5 under Settings > About Device. Wondering if anybody else experienced this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demoncamber:
Could I please get a quick clarification as to which link is the latest one? I'm assuming its the one under the latest and greatest heading, however the couple DL links under it made me ponder.

I'm loving this ROM though. Super smooth and great paired with Tiberius 2ghz 2.6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
actually yes I was testing Tiberius by @Kl3Kener and noticed that the read ahead speed is working great.. typing very smooth and the only error I have ever seen is the -2.5 +2.6 version number in settings...

Kl3kener we need you buddy how else will I get smarter? jk but communicating with you or just looking at your work warps me years ahead.

And by the way I noticed your init.d functions are perfect, been testing. thanks for leaving us with the best

kernel for the stock tw t989 that there likely ever will be.

Nothing you ever said was ever bs. Always right on!! A genius no doubt.

never saw a smarter bash-script than the one you made as an example... I am following it and am not getting it perfect yet but, maybe, someday I will. Thanks for everything and all the advice and Develop Now!

And thanks for being cool and helping when I needed it...

Still trying to get Shadow to boot without Tiberius. This is what I have tried so far using TWRP 2.6. Wipe scripts are the one from Infamous. Wipe denotes Wipe with TWRP with every option selected except SD cards. 4 attempts, 4 failures.

Method #1:

Wipe

Super Wipe Script

Cache Wipe Script

Install

Method #2:

Wipe

Super Wipe Script

Install

Method #3:

Install

TWRP cache wipe

Method #4:

Cache Wipe Script

Any tips on other steps I could take?

Any files I can send to help with finding the root cause of our troubles?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Try twrp 2.5.0.0 and wipe first with infamous cache wipe and infamous superwipe. Not darkside wipes.

See how that helps or not.

I think Shadow_1116 is the latest ROM.

I don't know if that was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but I came across it on Rushing's Sourceforge list of downloads. I'm guessing it's the same as Shadow_1115 except for the addition of the new 2.2ghz kernel. Can anybody confirm?

^ Seriously almost brought a tear to my eye, nice words there :D Wish he wasn't gone either.

On another note, Ok yeah, I was confused because I saw the two other DL links, and wasn't sure if they were newer versions or just branched off modifications from the latest version, because they didn't follow the same date/naming form as the other links. So 116 is the current version as of now then? Cool.

As for the TWRP issues, I'm literally running the latest for HERC off of their site, which is 2.6.3.0 (shows as 2.6.3.1 while in recovery though) and I've had zero, 0, (), {} issues with it. Thats with TW and 4.4.2 kit kat roms as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaniolo:
I flashed shadow 1115 with twrp 2.6 . First do the wipes from twrp, then I did both infamous wipes, then flashed the rom. No problems. I did exactly the same when I flashed freezerburnt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsromano:
I was able to flass 1115, but that had a stock kernel.

What if someone who can get the Shadow kernel to boot made a Nandroid of the recovery/preload partitions (I don't think there would be any personal data here), then they uploaded it, and then people who were struggling to boot, restored it, then flashed the ROM to fill the system and data partitions with the required apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demoncamber:
Meh I've been just doing dirty flashes, no wipes (just cache and dalvik), unless I go to a new rom, then I do full wipes. I flash rom, flash kernel then restore whatever init.d scripts I backed up with aromafm and boot up no issues :)

I have to use aromafm because I have a modified secmms to allow me to disable screen on when sms/mms for dynamic notifications to work properly. That and when you go to flash tiberius, it wipes out all your init.d scripts, so I back them up and put back in what I need.

I'm about to flash 116 though, I'll let you know how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] visualist6x6:
Just curious

Whenever I install a zip file in TWRP 2.6.0 it says:

E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/and

E:Unmount: Unable to find partition for path '/a

Updating partition details...

Running boot script...

Finished running boot script.

Installing ........

Anyway, are the E:Mount and E:Unmount normally shown? What is stored on E:?

I've been plagued with boot loops on almost all of the odexed Shadow ROMs except the stock kernel ones and the only way to get them to boot is with Tiberius. I've tried flashing stock and formatting

everything

, re-rooting and installing Shadow. I've done things in different order to see if it would boot. Used Infamous wipes. Formatted in TWRP. The closest I ever got was when I installed 1116. On the first boot it made it into the update and starting applications and then started boot looping again and never got beyond the boot animation. Right now, I'm sticking with Shadow / Tiberius until Rushing comes up with something new. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaniolo:
Well, I have to report that after two days running with version 1116 and having no issues at all until I dropped the phone from my bed and the battery came apart. When I rebooted it got stuck on the Shadow splash screen, so I rebooted into recovery, reboot and this time it got hang up on the colored circles,I tried to reboot from recovery again and nada...

so I did the wipes (no infamous this time), and flashed 1114 it booted correctly and set up, then to save time I did a restore data only that i saved before from Shadow Rom and when i rebooted it got stuck on the shadow flash screen... so.. I did all the wipes plus the infamous wipes, flashed 1116 again and it booted okay. Hummm.... :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Right now, I'm sticking with Shadow / Tiberius until Rushing comes up with something new. :)

Our partitions end with a number [CODE]
[CODE]mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/data");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26", "/cache");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27", "/preload");

[/CODE][/CODE] drives without numbers refer to a device such as a pen drive is /E: or a C: drive for a windoes musheen.

its nothing to worry about.

so I am curious if you can flash Tiberius and then after its booted and settled a bit then try and flash a kernel of mine~ Tiberius is compatible with my ROM, so for the people wishing they had a complete compatible ROM then don't wish, Tiberius is 100 percent compatible with Shadow.

these later ROMs are all Deodexed ...

F;ashing Tiberius is just more flashing =] have fun and by the way his kernel is 3.0.101 mine is 3.0.31

a whole 70 versions higher. mine is stock with oc and govners plus bln and 4.7.4 gcc compile, hotplug

never upgraded it... doesn't mean I'm not running an upgraded 3.0.101 kernel with all the tweaks =] @ 2538MHz just pulled a 14686 off antutu lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
I am finding I can only flash my 2538Mhz kernel only after
I am booted already by another kernel... its just too much juice,
just guessing... I think I need to increase the voltage... I however
can boot 1116 under the worst circumstances, which of course
writes a 2.2 ghz kernel to [CODE] /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

[/CODE]here is the code that writes the kernel to your device.. see now you are one step closer to flashing your own kernel.

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

[MENTION=4718648]rsromano[/MENTION],

I have the T-989 from T-mobile USA. I have never had any problems flashing rushings Rom's both with his kernel or with the stock.

This is what i do and is working on my device, maybe it could work for you...

I have TWRP 2.6 i go recovery and do Wipes: factory reset wipes data,cache and dalvik .android_secure. after that is done I flash infamous cache wipe and after that infamous super wipe. then i flash the shadow rom, once it boots i let it seat for over ten minutes then reboot again. So far no problems.

Yesterday I dropped my phone and battery came out. when I put it back it got stuck on shadow splash screen. I did i recovery reboot and still hang. i did the first set of wipes and flashed the rom again and it hang. so i did my usual sequence with the infamous wipes after the regular wipes and voila 1116 is back to normal. I hope this helps. good luck. :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
wipe it all.. also

the radio is somewhat important to have right for uvmc6.. the recovery version is important and also wiping preload and system data and caches even the android secure is okay to wipe never googled android secure btw but i wipe it without a second thought... so I am guessing the radio and recovery was a good idea to include as I did in past builds hardly any problems that way.

about those Icons if you guys want all stock I might have it, lol what I mean is I might have the stock look in one of my pers. roms that i don't use, I have tons of roms that I made so i might flash a couple to see if i can get those stock icons included with. because your systemui is not stock right now any real stock systemui.apk will not work with this one.

but you're going to have green battery and toggles I will calll it frog in a blender on ICE lol.

I want you guys to be content, so I might make another version today with my 2.2ghz kernel included =] I call it Meltdown but its still an ICED_COLD kernel oc'd.

googled android secure:

Android secure = That's where application files are stored when "Move to SD card" is selected in Application Management. from here http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-international-all-things-root/524315-android_secure.html

edited: so after looking through numerous ROMs my external harddrive and flash8ng the systemui from a few I thought maybe the og sammy "look" I did not find one/it.. they are all blue with google icons.. so its not going to happen. so what is possible is I take about three hours and do really boring work and make two for three people somewhat happy that they got what they wanted, no dice... I will not re-build the stock look. its ugly thats why I changed it.
