Oh yeah, this ROM rocks. I have my phone back. I feel like I've been liberated, literally. It's a shame so many have left the S2 community or have given up, if this had come around sooner it would have 3X the downloads it has right now. If they shipped the remaining T989 stock with this ROM pre-installed every single customer would be satisfied. I think those of us who are using this are just so surprised and happy we can't praise this work enough.

Quick update on GPS... It works FLAWLESSLY! - I can officially say, there are ZERO bugs in this ROM
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], thank you! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] taxidriver9:
Solid work on the ROM. However, looks like I came across one bug - using speaker phone with hangouts, the person on the other side of the convo starts hearing glitching sounds. Everything is fine when using the earpiece.

I haven't had the chance to replicate this issue on a regular phone call yet.

Otherwise it runs great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
This is because the sound from your the speaker is loud enough that it reaches your microphone, thus creating a loop and causing the unwanted noise. This is a physical design flaw; I cannot fix this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] e20140:
Side by side comparsion with PA 4.5 Beta 5: Yeah, I have 2 of these babies.

No overclock - Apps and games performances are the same. Boot time to complete state is faster by around 5sec (less junk works here). Total boot time is 1:24" for this ROM. PA does load up home screen faster but in real life, that's useless. Both are rock solid so far. Both has the same camera flash bug from CM which shut down phone when battery low to around 30%.

Overclock to 1825 - GPU still at 300, Some apps load tiny bit slower than PA! Nothing to worry about but strange, maybe the governor? Games (Beach Buggy load 0.5 sec faster ):good: hoping to gain more:D

Not much you can do with battery life when screen on. When on stand by. It looks promising. Need more time to test. Wish there is an app that can adjust max CPU base on foreground app.

Overall, a faster boot time and overclock feature and possibly better battery life win me over. Good job. :victory:

P.S. PA is good if you like their added features.

Very stable rom. Been using for over 24 hours and have not experienced any FC or other issues. GPS works well. Been using Waze app for an entire day

Has anyone tried if ART is working fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
ART running perfectly for me since day one on this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Found an issue... I would not call it a bug tho, so maybe someone can help me out here...

Launch Apollo, and play some music... Now, press and hold HOME, and clear all recents... Apollo stops playing. Is there a way around this? This is the ONLY issue I have come across.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
Swiping an application from the recents menu closes the application; this is the intended functionality. Since Apollo was in the recents list, clearing all the recents closed Apollo as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
No offense but Apollo really sucks as a music player. Everyone has their own preference but trust me, go with the good stuff like Neutron or Poweramp. They also do not quit when swiping in recents. The performance difference is night and day in these music players.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Hi Sultan! Just wanted to say your ROM is hands down _THE_ best and stable CM11 ROM I have ever used.

Best parts that I like:

1. Undervolting works with Kernel Tweaker now, woohoo!

2. init.d support, woohoo!

3. Massive overclocking support, woohoo!

4. Stability and snappiness, woohoo!

I have experienced two, slightly annoying bugs:

1. Contacts app lets me _import_ contacts from a vcf file(s), but it won't let me _export_ contacts to a vcf file. (I don't backup my contacts to Google. It's locally synced only. Google knows too much already....)

2. YouTube app videos sometimes appear garbled. To fix it, you have to go into fullscreen mode (landscape), press and hold the home button until the recents list appears, then continue playing the video and it goes away.

Anyone experience the two bugs above? Other than that, this ROM rocks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:

To add to the previous post, as long as you don't wipe the data partition you'll be fine. However, you probably want to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache partitions, although it isn't strictly necessary.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sshurato:
AWESOME

really good rom! the most flawless and stable i tested so far!

the few things i miss a bit and we can find in others roms :

1 - native support to WAV music files, with touchwiz any player (including google one) was able to play WAV

2 - power menu title shortcut on the notification bar (quick acess menu) or through some configurable button, my power/rocker button is dead..so i really miss this one

3 - notification light, when you have a notification like missing call or message the buttons would pulse (like leds) , actually just one rom i tested had this (dont remember which one)

4 - active display

5 - notification count on app drawer, just like touchwiz

i am not complaning...just saying that it would be great to see this features be add in a future, some battery saving mode would be nice too!

overall nice work !

i really apreciate it..my rocker button is dead..witch almost made me trade my phone, but i am un unployed student...and i cant afford a better one, also phones in my country are really expensive!

thank you so much developer!

Occasionally there is a bug that doesn't line up (as there are small differences), but this ROM seems to run fine on the T989D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
I have found that there is a reproducible RR when streaming video (not like Netflix, like opening a video from the Browser).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Malth:
Just installed this the other day, and I must say I'm impressed with the performance. I was wondering though, if it would be possible to incorporate Active Display into this ROM?

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450697

I was using a pacman ROM for awhile, and even though the performance degraded an I was having several issues, I kept using it solely because of the active display feature. I installed something similar from the play store as an app, but it's not as reliable or as good.

Either way, thanks for the awesome ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ameenshake:
T989D here, call audio is broken even without snapchst and hangout dialer installed. Its strange because ive found the same issue with slimkat and carbon roms. Most call have no incoming or outgoing audio, restarting temporarily fixes it though. Is there a permanent solution to this that i might have missed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sshurato:
T989 Hercules here...i experienced the no incoming or outgoing audio on calls, restarted the phone and everything went back to normal...i hope this will not occur often

dont know if there is a solution
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sshurato:
dont know if you found your solution yet

my rocker/power button is dead too

shutdown your phone, remove the battery, put it back on...hold volume up and down at the same time

plug the usb cable on the cellphone and on a turned on pc while holding the buttons pressed

it should go to download mode at least

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mkasberg:
Love this ROM! It's great to have a stable version of CM 11 since I'm using my T989 as my daily phone, and this ROM is actually stable enough to use like that. Thanks for posting it.

I was experiencing the no call volume problem and I was able to reproduce it by opening and closing Snapchat before placing or receiving a call. As mentioned earlier in this thread, using an older version of Snapchat fixed the problem for me, and so far I have not experienced it since doing that workaround. It is probable that some other apps would cause the same thing to happen, so if you're experiencing the bug I would try to have someone call you right after powering on your phone and then after using some of your most frequently used apps to try to isolate the culprit.

I am also able to consistently reproduce a problem where device "randomly" crashing and restarting. I can reproduce this problem using the t-mobile visual voicemail application to play a message. The device will crash when I try to play a different message. I have not found a fix/workaround for this yet, but it's not a huge nuisance because I know what causes it.

I have occasionally noticed that during a call that is longer than about 5 minutes, the audio goes in and out and it seems like the call might be dropped. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently yet.

It seems like all of these problems might be related to each other because they are all centered around audio issues. I have adb installed and I could produce a log of this behavior - if anyone wants to see it just let me know where to look for the particular log you want to see.

Thanks again for a great ROM!

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but TRIM is supported with this ROM and Kernel correct?

Thank you for the time put into this.

Spent many hours trying to fix those random reboots with no success, so I'm not sure what to do. I'm probably only going to release 1 more build of CM11 and then fully focus on CM12. The reboots might've been caused by userspace, so there's a chance that they're gone in CM12 :p

If it helps, i had a RR a couple of days back, darn phone battery died before I pulled the last_kmsg. But one thing I did notice was that mobile data stopped working, (no "H" on my status bar.) right before the RR. If I get another one I'll try to save it immediately. One RR in 2 weeks. Seen worse. Had an HTC G2 with the initial rom release... Twice daily reboots because noone right to test a T-Mobile device under marginal reception conditions..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xjcrazed:
I thought I would post an update now that I have some more usage under my belt. I started with the 10/30 ROM and Kernel 1.4.3. That's what I was running until yesterday when I loaded the 12/1 ROM with Kernel 1.4.7.

I can confirm the KitKat audio bug, even though I have neither Snapchat nor the Hangouts Dialer installed on my phone.

I can also confirm the Netflix video playback bug.

And the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail bug.

The Netflix and Visual Voicemail bugs are present in both the 10/30 ROM with Kernel 1.4.3 and the 12/1 ROM with Kernel 1.4.7

However, I have not had any RRs, and notwithstanding these minor issues, installing this was well worth it. It is as stable as stock JB, but with much better performance. I can't wait until CM12! :D

Thanks again for your efforts! :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Agent_667:
Hey there loving the rom and sad to see she's reached her end.

Been great for me except for the no sound on calls occasionally without snapchat installed. Just curious if anyone has the issue where things like Gmail and voxer don't update automatically. I have to open the apps and then they notify me of messages or emails.

Not using any firewalls or apps that kill background processes.

I have auto sync turned on and it appears to happen mostly on 3g though haven't had access to wifi much to test it. A rather annoying problem when my buddy in the Navy is homesick and trying to reach out for a bit of home but I don't get the message until 2 days later when I check voxer.

Issue isn't just the one app since anything that notifies upon receiving a message such as Gmail, snapchat, voxer, none of them work. Text and missed call notifications appear fine so is definitely an issue with the apps not syncing. If I have them open in the background they work fine for an hour or so if I don't use it and then cease to notify again.

Any help is greatly appreciated and merry Christmas to all!

New ROM & kernel uploaded with some notable fixes :)

[MENTION=5501683]eric93se[/MENTION] This update doesn't have BLN because I added BLN to my kernel and found some problems with it (the switch to turn it off and on wasn't working, and there was some other troubling stuff too). I'll fix BLN and add it to a later kernel version.

Thank you developer for fixing that bug :D Now I hope you can fix the bug with the external SD card not being shown on apollo music player or Google Play Music apps. At least using the Music Folder App shows everything on the external SD Card. Awesome Job dude :D

Cannot add google account

Just moved from Hellkat to this ROM. Did a full wipe, flashed the ROM + new gapps, rebooted, waited 10 minutes, started playing. Everything seems to work fine except that I can't add my google account (so I have no contacts/gmail/calendar/play store/etc). WiFi and cell networks are fine, and I can log in to gmail in the browser without an issue. I do not have 2-factor authentication enabled.

Anyone else have this issue? I re-wiped and re-flashed to try again but the same thing.

Edit:

I noticed that Google Play Services was missing. I found this post, but couldn't determine which version was right for the hercules. Instead, I installed gapps from the Cyanogenmod website, and that seemed to do the trick. Currently updating all of the gapps through the Google Play app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
@ domstyle, the gapps package is on the first post along with the rom and kernel.

Anyone else having problems with video playback, specifically no audio. I always used MX player in the past and its always been great, now it was force closing itself and when it would run there would be no audio. With and without accelerators and its a no go. Trying VLC player and its a better app but still no audio. The built in video player didn't work either.

I'm really new at this, so please take it easy on me - I've tried to read as a much as I can before posting.

Successfully flashed the latest ROM (12/28/14). Flashed GApps. Let the ROM settle for 10 min, then rebooted.

Very sporadic cell signal. Every time I try to make a call it either says "out of network area" or, if the phone has signal, it black screens for a while then reboots. Even when I do have cell signal, it very rarely has data service.

I sincerely apologize if this is a complete newb mistake, but considering this is my wife's phone - I kinda need the help :). Thank you all in advance!

ETA: Looks like, at least for now, I found the solution to my issue. I flashed the latest radios in the sticky post of this section and it seems to at least make phone calls and pick up data service way more consistently.

Just flash over it. I don't even think it's possible to remove a kernel anyways. (There's probably some gurus out there that will prove me wrong and tell us that yes they can be removed, but for a regular user like me in practice once a kernel is installed it's done and I wouldn't try removing it).

I just flashed v1.5.2 over v1.5.0 and no problems so far.

I recently have had his really weird bug in

Kitkat ROMs.

When I press the record button for camcorder it does nothing but taking pictures does.

And my mic is broken?

Everything works at first and then after a few hours

Camcorder and microphone stop working.

I tried reflashing ROM and kernel but does nothing.

This is present in this ROM and others

Any ideas to fix?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] palemongoose:
Hi, I registered just to ask about one minor gripe problem I've been having with this ROM about compatibility with a game I play called Puzzles and Dragons (PAD). Upon installing the game and launching the app the game proceeds to download the necessary files to play the game, but then it goes into an infinite download loop where once it reaches 100% it starts over again repeatedly. I was just wondering if you could look into this because I really like this ROM specifically. Also, I tried your other ROM with Lollipop and the game does work on that version.

On another site a user named BACON-1562 suggested a workaround which I tried, but my phone wouldn't boot up again. I'm not sure if I can post links since I'm new to posting on these forums and I just wanted to ask about this specific problem.
