Hey Thanks Bro! New link is up×××Shadow.fb.debloated×××
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Much better. ;)

First obvious thing is something is holding your phone awake. An hour so far in less than 4 hours is not very good. Although an hour almost of screen time and only lost 25 percent isn't all bad.

Can you do that screen again when battery is much lower? Also one of app screen and then click the drop down at top of app screen and take one of the time held awake screen. I think we'll see the culprit there.

Do you reboot after you unplug charger everytime? A good habit. Can stop some battery issues just doing that. ;)

And gsam resets when you reboot. So try not to during your charge cycle...except when you unplug.

Good luck!

Hi Rushing, just double checking. Is the latest debloated ROM also deodexed?

I actually just flashed the FreezerBurnt ROM (the one before this debloated version). Thanks for including Swype! It's not a limited trial period one is it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CooLoL1999:
Hey guys, does the custom kernel come with the ROM or do I have to download a separate zip? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
No swype is there to stay... yes its deodexed. Glad you're running my best!

A n y probs at all let me know this debloated version was only flashed by me not tested much j7st basic basic tests. . I noticed no difference other than less junkware. No little tmo apps eating off my super old, original, but very good battery. Enjoy

[MENTION=1424186]coolol 1999[/MENTION] kernel is included with ROM...

some unlucky t989 owners cant get my kernel to boot for them... if this is your case and the phone is stuck on splash screen then flash tiberious kernel.. maybe just dl it and keep it on your sdcard so you can find it in recovery and flash Tiberious kernel by Kl3kener if you're stuck on booting up.

If it boots up without flashing Tiberious then report back I'd be glad to know either way.

Trying to make calculations need data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YoshiNurijumi:
Okay to [MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4436616]Rushing[/MENTION]

I did What Rush told me to do. I reverted back to stock. However, even using TWRP or CWM, when I flashed the nonbloat version, I still got stuck on the damn splash screen! Idk why...but it happens all the time. So I flashed Cl3ners kernel and it booted right up. So weird why I have been getting that stuck splash.

I will be running Gsam tomorrow when I wake up. Ill take a screen and upload it here when I get the chance. Im leaving it on charge till i wake up, then I will reboot my phone and do what I normally do and send it here so you guys can tell me what the hell is wrong with my damn phone. LOL!!! But its weird, right? That UB4.0 lasts longer than FB!!! But hopefully we can iron this sh!t out and make this ROM work on EVERYONES phone!! I have always like Rushings ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
Yeah I noticed that there were quite a few tmo apps with FreezerBurnt. But I cleared them out on Titanium. Thanks for including Swype and the stock clock app back. I'm trying to run the odexer tool as suggested by a few other users. I flashed from Shadow 55 which was a dream to run. Still hooked on that odexed rom haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Playnhooky:
Is there a way we can remove the brightness slider in the notification drawer ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
You can if you flash the Infamous/Jedi Theme. Just make sure you are using one of the deodexed ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Greetings Masters of Flash.

I Bother you all with bringing you all a vast improvement to the Shadow ROM thanks to @Kl3kener

He has Helped me with upgrading to toolchain 4.7.4. In fact a very specific version that he modded for our device for max kernel optimizations and zero kernel errors on my end while building. Hopefully this one will boot for everyone. Of course Kl3keners kernel Tiberious is a fine choice as well. But I would like to hear feed back on it booting for the past non-booters.. hopefully the nonbooter is a thing of the past. Please test and report back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
I did the full wipe and flashed the debloated from the 17th. Funny, this is the first time I've been able to flash your ROM without having to flash Tiberirus. I'm sitting fat and happy on your Ice Cold kernel with the 17th ROM. Running ROW / Lionheart and also Ondemand, and it's clean and clear.

I'll back this up, and upgrade in the morning. Thanks for your efforts. I appreciate your openess to the user community, and responsiveness to continue to improve on this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
I got the latest to boot, and start to load up apps. But when I start to configure and use my phone, it reboots constantly. If I leave it alone, it's fine. I've wiped cache and still the same behavior. I'll play a bit more, then if I can't stabilize, I'll go back to 1/17 debloated to play with your kernel a bit more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Strange. Oh well I tried guys im done on my end.. final analysis is = it either works for your phone or not.. And solution just flash Tiberius & enjoy the best of both tw worlds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Yep. I'll keep playing with it. I kept the ROM but flashed Tiberius with good results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] visualist6x6:
Thanks for all your hard work. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
[MENTION=4436616]Rushing[/MENTION] With your FreezerBurnt (not the debloated version) ROM, I used Titanium to delete some apps like Google Books, Newsstand, and some of the Tmo stuff. But I noticed that the some of the apps (Books, Newsstand) are still in /preload/symlink/system/app. Is this normal? Any harm in deleting those apps directly from the preload folder?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
I deleted the crap out of there too on stock stock tw 4.1.2 and not a problem.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
Thanks. Might also help me free up some needed space to odex some more system apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
If I were to perform my own debloating... How should I "properly" proceed? Is it enough to just remove the apps I don't want using TB, or is there a script somewhere that needs to be updated as well? I can do all of this myself, I just want to make sure I don;t harm performance of this ROM in doing so.

Thanks in advance to all who answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
I'm a titbu man, myself. Others tend to prefer the reduced confinement of Root Explorer.

I would recommend that you avoid deleting the Messaging App, and instead freeze it if you prefer Hangouts like myself. I've had Hangouts crash hard, and Messaging was a nice backup. Also, freeze the Samsung apps you don't think you want first, reboot, clear all your cache, and let it run for a while before you delete. I've kept the Allshare stuff, and therefore some of the account stuff. Iike the DLNA features offered in Allshare.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Along that lines...I have a SGHT989. It's never been officially unlocked from TMO, but obviously, I've gained root access and hacked it up a fair bit.

Would an AT&T SIM work in this phone? Or do I need to actually get an unlock code from TMO in order to bring over to AT&T?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
There's a free unlock method that involves reverting back to ics and a specific modem. Apparently it works. There's a thread about it here somewhere. ;)

New Update available

SHADOW_FROSTBITE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaniolo:
OK good timing to try an update. Something weird happened yesterday. I am running the first version of freezer burnt for almost two weeks with no problems at all until yesterday that started to run low on battery and swapped for another battery . I am using a replacement 2200mAh anker as main and when I put the original Samsung battery and boot I got stuck on splash screen. I tried like 5 battery pulls and nothing. So finally I charged the replacement battery booted to recovery , reboot system and it booted normally. Anyway.. I am game to try the new update :) I will report how it goes.

Poor Performance

I'm getting scores that are about half of what Rushing is getting in his original post. I'm running Iced Cold (signed) with Tiberius 2.5 kernel since I was getting stuck on the Shadow boot screen without it. I flashed from TWRP. It's almost as if only one of the cpus is running...

Let me know anymore details you want about my setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
that is the reboot bug that samsung gifted us...

the fix is just rebooting into recovery and then reboot out of recovery, just like you did.

1200-1300 is an average good score btw.

but scores are really just scores.

is your device running smoothly?

or lots of lag?

I would wipe everything and then flash ROM and kernel again if experiencing lag.

swype is laggy on my device so don't judge it too much based on swype... I removed it in the past for this reason but once your phone gets in the 'groove' swype is not too bad...

How much /system space do you have left / unused?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
Under Titanium Backup, it says that I only have about 4MB (out of 613MB) of space for the System ROM. I deleted a couple of apks from the preload folder, but it didn't make a difference with that figure. Does anybody know where the folder for System ROM stuff is -- is it just /system?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
okay well there is a link between the preload/app folder and the system/app folder so deleting an app in preload will not delete it in system... kinda stuck when its in preload lol... that is why I have moved most apps out of preload folder unless they are going to stay forever. this link is known as symlinks also known as symbolic links....

did you odex the rom?

I am not really recommending anyone do that... but have fun =]

but do use the titanium backup app to do this...

odexing apps actually uses more system space cause now there are two files instead of one android package [.apk]

you can enter recovery and wipe preload and system, cache and dalvik and not wipe data... then flash the rom.zip again

restoring your rom to its original state/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I never ran out of space on my system partition....ever.

Are you sure you wiped system before install? Or....you simply have too much stuff. ;)

Its not the rom. No way. There's left over junk on your system partition ....or you've just installed too much.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
When upgrading from the last version, should we just run the cache wipe, then flash? Or a full wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
you have to at least wipe system and preload and cache, dalvik
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audiphil3:
Yes, I odexed the room using the Odexer Tool. I was trying to free up a bit more space in an effort to odex more system apps. The framework has been odexed completely though. Thanks for the tip about the wipe preload/system/cache/dalvik and reflashing the rom. I'll keep that in mind. I think the other option is to start fresh with another version of your ROM.

Yeah, I used one of the super wipe scripts and then did a complete wipe before flashing the ROM.

According to Titanium, I have 4MB (617MB available) free for system ROM, and 874MB free (2.11GB available) on my "internal". I checked out the /system folder and it's 1.33GB. So I'm guessing all that stuff got split between the system ROm and internal?

I have 1.19GB available on my internal storage of 1.97GB. How do I get the breakdown between /system /data?

Coming from FreezerBurnt to FrostBite-2, sadly I'm still having issues getting past the splash screen. Have to flash Tiberius to get past it without issues. Literally just flashed FB-2, loved FreezerBurnt, so it can only get better!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
So did anybody notice I excluded the t mobile id from the pull down bar? Resized the dimensions of the quick toggle backgrounds and removed the descriptions, like wifi gps etc.. resized the dimensions of the slider bar..

Recreated the phone icon, camera icon and also gallery icon. And of course the contacts icon.. also removed the am pm status from status bar and pull down status bar.. this is the best shadow has appeared.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
I noticed a few of those items. Very nice. I love the stock nature of the ROM, but with improvements to the UI and layout. Nicely done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
For the life of me I couldnt find the notifications bar... that blue one when you pull down the toggles...

says notifications and on going and has a clear button...

the last ugly left in the ROM imo is gone... hours and days and ongoing searches over the last 9months and I finally removed the ugly thing...

swiping away notifications is working still too!.. I couldnt find it so I shrank it to nothing and gone haha. more than three ways to theme a cat..

so no more dead kitty nightmares for me I can R.I.P. now...

so does anybody know that we were given a flashlight or assistivelight_widget?? Samsung turned this off for us... they also removed some files that it needs to work, to shine...

anybody know if the international version assistive_light_widget is working?

not sure of a fix obviously but its right here in front of me if I could add the right fiels I would just to have the option...

Anybody know of a fix or a ROM thta has this enabled in any class of sgs2? than ks

hey thanks for the build! just flashed and got stuck at the splash screen, but all u need to do is 3 button reboot it, power + up + down volume, and then it'll go straight through like normal. no need flash anything else, running great with 4.4 kit kat launcher! :D squeezed all the ugly out AND put some of my fav options in. Dont forget to get framework installer guys, got halo/screenshot and finally, titanium backup to odex the rom, now this thing is flying, clocking at around 1.8ghz, responsiveness is iphone like now, like u click on something it pops up right away, u gotta wait for things to load but no more pop up lag time. woot! go on vacation buddy, this is the most anyone could ask for in a rom :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Thanks! Finally somebody with the bootup problem trouble shot it with success =]

hear that everyone with bootloops at first boot?!? give this a try "all u need to do is 3 button reboot it, power + up + down volume, and then it'll go straight through like normal." the next part is simply rebooting into android... well I hope that works for everyone...

And a vacation lol! well I do indeed have a worthy update around the corner and after that I wont post a new rom for a couple a days, prolly. Ha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] visualist6x6:
I tried the same and the boot loops are intermittent. It booted through once and when reset, boot looped again. Booting through is about a 1 in 5 chance. . . Strange!

Does anybody get FC's when going into language in settings? i tried to change the keyboard but it keeps on force closing.....

My sister said that she likes the ROM but in contacts the skulls kinda scares her.... In addition, I downloaded Google Keyboard and the text doesnt show up because of something (IDRK white font maybe? The text blends with the white background of the app.)

Otherwise, GREAT ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Thanks for the feedback. I however am not having fcs when I try other lang. did see the set for the google keybrd was white on white or something not sure maybe they will make their initial setup_back ground a little darker on a future update that could be on them Not Sure but I might revert to a more stock set of colors for text

thanks for the input. I suggest a cache wipe in recovery. and a couple reboots. maybe a reflash if you flashed it dirty it just might need to be all wiped and then reflash ROM.

Exchange Security Bypass

When I was running KK ROMs, I could use an Xposed module called Exchange Security Bypass. However, this was only functional on 4.4 ROMs and later. There are some bypass modules that can be used on 4.2 or 4.3 as well. But I haven't found any Xposed modules or other hacks that provided this bypass.

Anyone know of one? I would love to load it up alongside this ROM, since this is the most stable my phone has been in a long time. But this is the feature I miss the most with the more experimental ROMs.

BTW, I did use the Xposed module called Music2SD to synch my Play Music downloads to my SD card. Very cool, indeed.
