LIGHTSPEED
​

LightSpeed for the T989 Hercules model by Samsung A.K.A The "Galaxy S2" for T-Mobile. Jelly Bean Base from Samsung, the last update that Samsung gave to the T989.

***DISCLAIMER***

Your device warranty is already void if you have rooted it. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

before

flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me or anyone else for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Collectively, and at the same time.

Intro:

This project uses the T-989 4.1.2 T-Mobile Jelly Bean final update as a base. The project's purpose is to offer extra functions and better looks over stock while maintaining maximum stability, speed and battery life.

Also Aesthetics have been considered and vastly improved over stock.

Summary: going for it all here, aesthetics, speed, extra functions, updated apps and an improved look and 'feel'.

***See /settings/about device for change-log and credits for guides and kernel info

**this ROm is void of the Water drop noises that came in stock ROMs. most if not all sounds have been changed to a nexus 4 sound. bye bye water drop not in dialer either should be all gone so let me know if you find one just record what you were doing at the time and Ill see if I can remove it.

*NEW invisible power/reboot button on top left corner of status bar, custom battery icons

some features... Menu hold to kill app, google launcher, 20Toggles mod reboot mod vol-wake mod themed orange and black, invisible power/reboot button on top left corner, custom battery icons centered clock screenshot on status bar mod custom colored >settings ON OFF mod,,, it has nice look, my favorite so far. Enjoy

I need someone to confirm that WiFi calling and Messaging over WiFi work. I would think they do but would be good to know.

kernel sources found here SMOOTH_KERNEL https://github.com/hallovveen31

power button on statusbar is now invisible and out of the way, yet there and able to be used... with a tap on upper left corner of screen your device will go sleep or hold your virtual power button and a four way reboot menu will appear.

LIGHTSPEED_v3

LIGHTSPEED_v4

changelog

Version 4 added new busybox file.

Did some work in settings under data usage, made blue graph lines orange.

Changed colors of /settings/storage ie device memory

Added adfree and a new hosts file, so no adds, forever =]

updated a few apps in the data/app folder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Flash with TWRP 2.5 2.6 or whatever recovery works best that you know =]

should probably wipe everything for best results and then Install or ''flash'' your drive with the Zip found on Sourceforge.

reboot.

set your kernel speed and governors

the kernel is stock but overclockable and with Interactive gov a possible choice samsung didnt enable this gov for whatever reason yet all the code for it is stock. Enjoy

Is anyone else getting a broken busybox message when you start Trickster Mod to mess with kernal settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
I used SetCPU to alter kernel govs. Its on performance out of the box. So I didn't notice . but if you find a fix let me know or I'll try to find the problem later honestly I've never used the trickster mod for kernel....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MAFU21:
I got your hackwized version on my wifes device and it runs awesome. I will adk is there a way you will dev on some KK rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grantusmantus:
I just downloaded busybox free from the play store, updated to busybox 1.22 and rebooted the phone, trickstermod runs fine after that. Easy fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaniolo:
Downloading... I had the hacking wiz rom for the last si c months and it has been awesome with no problems at all. Phone is now my back up as I got the new galaxy Avant however since no root yet I am glad to play with the S2 and this new Rom. I will report on wifi calling and wifi texting.

My best score ever with this phone. So far its a great ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tb5...:
kitkat and the gs2 camera don't work well together for me,

was looking out for a new 4.1.2 rom, much appreciated, is this an upgrade from you shadow_extrem3 rom?

is a full wipe required coming from SHADOW_EXTREM3_SMOOTHKERNEL?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
my pleasure =] .,. no you don't have to wipe data if coming from shadow. But don't restore system data with titanium backup. And if anything is wonky then do perform data wipe. But DO wipe /system and /preload and both /caches. As far as is this An upgrade from shadow,?, Well it's a different look that I like ... Black, orange and white.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:

Still rocking the htc?

I got an S5 and sure would like some tw custom ROMs like this bad boys you put out.

Nice to see another of your ROMs out here anyways.

Thanks for sharing.

happy New Year
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iago94010:
I have a few questions hope you can answer.

1. Does this ROM includes a custom kernel that replaces the existing one?

2. Can I use CWM to create a nandroid of existing kernel and ROM before flashing? I read elsewhere that CWM does not backup or restore the kernel.

3. What can I use to backup the kernel if CWM does not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Q1. Answer = yes

Q2. answer = use twrp it will if cwm does not

Q3. answer = see answer #2 =]

*tip* using Odin to restore your phone will restore kernel and everything else. Def want to know how to use Odin proficiently.

thanks

Good people of XDA forums I need your help, I have a Chinese S5 Galaxy and by accident the brick attempt to use the factory reset but still spend of the Android logo chip MTK 6589's model is SM-G900H 1GB Ram someone I can pass the rom to fix it. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GibMcFragger:
That's sounds like a fake clone...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatterMix:
A clone is correct, you do not have a rom for this phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
There are no roms for your phone in the s5 forum. You will need to search elsewhere on the Web.

[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
I read lot's of good info under this post, but I would like to ask what would be the best move to buy for $100?

I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, so it will be so easy to check my wrist instead of pulling that monster out of my packet every time. Also I am looking something "classy" looking watch face , please help me out. Will be a good choice the Smart Q Z?
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
SmartQ Z isn't really what I'd call a classy design. Are you looking for something with calling features? Or just a watch that can give you notifications? If you're looking for calling features, I'd probably go with a LX36 Galaxy Gear 2 clone (dhgate.com). It's a dumbwatch, meaning it runs a j2me system, not full Android, but, it has notifications and calling. If you're looking for notifications and mini-apps, I'd pick up a Sony Smartwatch 2 off of ebay. They're going for right around $100 these days and has a classier design. Other than that, there's not much on the market for $100.
[Other SmartWatches] enigma2446:
Check out the elegance u8 thread
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
What I am looking for ,something has a design look , clear screen, has a built in camera (works itself not as remote) & I can use for saving pdf or notes for test in the class.. Large enough screen to see it, not necessary a standalone device, answer phone call would be a plus ,but I am not expecting a lot about that considering to the noise reduction , etc.. Would be nice with an app for running , or hearth reading :)

Other than that , I don't really care...
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
So...basically you want a watch that has everything. Kingelon K2, which is a Galaxy Gear 1 clone, is the only one that's going to fit your price range. Doesn't have the heart rate monitor, but, it has the camera and can save pdf/notes. It runs full Android. It can be found at dhgate.com as well.
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
Yes , that Star Kingelon K2 really looks nice, but I couldn't find on Ebay, I know Vifocal.com was selling under $90, but they are out of stock. Also I was reading about it , and they saying the battery holds for only 6h??

What about ZGPAX S5 or S6?
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
K2 can be found on dhgate.com from numerous sellers. ZGPAX S5 and S6 aren't what I would call a classy design and are both standalone phones with no sync software from the company itself. They also both run an outdated Android 4.04 operating system out of the box.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
The more functionality a watch has = less battery life. And vice versa so you have to make a choice which you prefer.

The WeLoop gives 2-3weeks but with basic functions and the opposite side you have the Gear S.
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
So why is the Star Kingelon K2 is better than the original Samsung gear watch is cheaper now ? K2 around $100 SG is around $90-100.

Is the K2 knows more things?
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
Samsung Gear 1 is supposed to only work with Samsung phones. There are some mods to get it working on non-Samsung phones, but, notifications are screwy without additional notification software like Tablet Talk. Not to mention, the Gear 1 received an update which converted the watch over to Tizen rather than Android. Tizen has a long way to go in terms of functionality and apps compared to Android.

It seems it would be a lot less hassle to just get a watch that would be supported on your non-Samsung device out of box and one that runs Android by default. That's the K2.
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
Thank you for all of you , I just need to find one now for a better price? 1 more question, is the K2 has an option to read pdf ?
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
I don't think you're going to find a better price. You're asking a lot for such a small price. The K2 runs full Android so yes, it can read PDFs. You may have to download an app to read them if support isn't there out of box. But, yeah, it'll do a PDF.
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
Thank You again. The cheapest I found is $110.87 free shipping.
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
1 more thing :) Any of you heard about Cross Country watch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpkVNnNl8Ds

http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_69404.html
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
It's a Umeox OEM watch. Sold under numerous names like Omate Truesmart. It's a stand alone phone. Not worth it according to many Omate users.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Yup, its the Omate clone, its got every functionality you want, it had many names, Z8, Z15 is the latest name for $129

Here's the thread.

Battery life is an issues with ALL watches, this one is slightly better then the others.
[Other SmartWatches] ajbiz11:
Wait... You're looking for basically a $100 cheating watch?

Sent from my m7spr
[Other SmartWatches] atti_clearw:
Not just for cheating, but it is a plus :) I would call it "the reminder"..
[Other SmartWatches] BassBlaster:
If I were you I would buy the Galaxy Gear... Keep it on android and install the SWApp Link app on your Phone and Smartwatch, instead of using Samsung's notification system and problem solved. Galaxy Gear looks great, superb OLED screen, and fast GPU and Processor, its basically an underclocked Galaxy S2 :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
So the phone is currently rooted and running a GPE rom, would it be ok if i sent it in like that for repair?? or should i return it to stock?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Well i hope you had the logic thought yourself that completely stock is the best. It's about your screen so it shouldn't matter.....but on the other hand, why take the risk ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
yup, thats what i was thinking its just getting repaired nothing else, im just gonna return it back just in case.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Are you trying to use the free replacement? In that case definitely go back to stock and locked bootloader and remove tampered banner
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
hey thanks for the reply man, i read back on the shattered screen thread, a guy mailing it in rooted running a custom rom, please read and tell me what your think, im really considering just doing that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
up to you mate - but why take the risk for a quick return to stock?

you'll see other people in that same thread have had huge problems trying to get repair under warranty.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
I want to return it back to stock, but im not 100% on the steps i should take, and I currently dont have a Windows machine to work on, i could borrow one later today.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
First remove the tempered flag then return bootloader to LOCKED not relocked and finally run the ruu to get full stock unrooted
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Same old same old....now i ask you which ruu !? Do you know if its there. Do you have a 2.22.401 international ruu (if he is on that official main) ? No because its not there. All available ruu's are for sprint/Verizon/tmobile....so stop referring to ruu's in the international forum !

For the OP

Check my nandroid backup thread
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Oh that's my fault I didn't know there wasn't one for international version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
So i should remove the tempered flag then return bootloader to locked, after all that flash one of your nandroid backups? i have an ATT device btw.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Check your software number and cid. That's first to know ! Then compare and check if there is a matching nandroid or ruu (for AT&T) gather your information first. And NEVER relock/lock your bootloader before you know what you are doing. In regarding of restoring a nandroid backup relocking/locking the bootloader is the very LAST step you take in the process.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
Thanks, i know how to get the CID but where do i find the software number?

It has to be one of this two.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
You can check in the settings menu - about - software the version you are running now. If the 502 is the same you can take any of those 2 with the matching stock recovery and even perform ota again. You can also check in the AT&T threads if there is a ruu available. But without s-off you can't downgrade the hboot. With a nandroid backup you can, because the hboot will be untouched and you "just" run a lower software.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
I dont see that, im guessing its because im running GPE, so just picking the correct one will flash back to 100% stock even recovery?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Check your main and cid via fastboot commands. Described in the OP of my backup thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackAlien92:
Recently sent my phone in for an exchange. Set to complete stock, locked bootloader, and unrooted. Happy to say I got my phone back in a week.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tej XFire:
Hey there ! Did you get a brand new one or a refurbished one or the same one you sent ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackAlien92:
From what I can tell it looks brand new. Completely flawless. [emoji4]
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skiiermike:
So here is what I think I know. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3.

I have successfully rooted and installed cyanogenmod.

I have twrp for a custom recovery.

I have made a nandroid backup. With that if I ever screw anything up I can restore to the exact settings/content of the backup correct?

I have titanium backup pro and have backed up my apps and settings. When a new firmware gets released I boot into custom recovery, wipe my device and install the new firmware and gapps. Can I then restore my titanium backup and get all my apps and settings back? Including the individual app settings and saves? Do I still need to install gapps?

Thanks in advance.

I recently bricked my phone and flashed my firmware to fix it. I'm now in the lg welcome setup page where it asks your language . I can't press next or any button.

I flashed with LG flash tool 2014 with type "CDMA" since there is no GSM and CDMA was recommended. . Any suggestions?

hi guys

i have note 3 (9005) and i make update to kitkat so now it cant read USB flash disk.

my question is how can i make note 3 (9005) read USB flash disk? can any one help me in this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
Kitkat can still read flash drives. What did you do ash? You catch'em all with your pokeballs? Lol

What format is your flash drive? NTFS or FAT32?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash210:
I didn't do anything ..! :)

My flash drive is ntfs and when i conect it to my phone it appears it connected then there is massage "usb removed safely"
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
NTFS is not supported. Please reformat it to FAT32.

NTFS can be supported through a mod though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Android itself has never supported NTFS drives. Only Asus Tranformer devices support NTFS via third party drivers (Because of the USB port.)

Fat32 and exFAT are supported though.

FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum of 4GB. Useless for Semi-HD and Full-HD films.

exFAT supports files up to 16EB (ExaByte) (max file size in exFAT is redundant, since there aren't any drives commercially available over 5TB. Even the collective size of the entire internet is only 5EB.)

My advice, use exFAT.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
I think ROM Toolbox comes with driver called Paragon NTFS, that should work with OTG USB NTFS storage, but you need to be rooted. I think this is the only alternate option to reformatting all your external storage to exfat, which may not be practical. Or do it Apple way, transfer data between 2 devices sitting next to each other, half across the globe and back using itunes, I mean cloud, like dropbox.

Thanks guys sooooo much

Hola to all:

I need help. I have installed in my Qtek S200 the program SKINVODAFONE :mad:.

It has changed the format of screen of the telephone (menu to mark when we realize a call) and it has put it that of Vodafone.

I would like to change again the format of this screen to which it had in a principle, the standard format :D.

Thank you very much for your help and HAPPY YEAR!!!.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Try going to Start->Settings->System->Remove programs and uninstalling the program.

If that doesn't work you may need a hard reset, but then you will loose all you data.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JU@N JUL¡@N:
Thanks levenum :), but it already had tried it.

To do a hard-reset is the only thing that happens to me also, but what he would need to avoid the hard-reset is the program that installs the original screen or standard of the Qtek frees.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JU@N JUL¡@N:
Certainly :D, I am not the only one interested in changing this screen to Qtek's original screen, in the Spanish forum also he has been interested.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
One more thought:

There should be a Qtek extended ROM on the FTP. One of the cabs there should have the dialer installation.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JU@N JUL¡@N:
On the FTP... excuse but that it is the FTP?

That you want to say, that should install the standard EXT-ROM? But then would it lose all the information and installed tricks, not?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cizake:
FTP - File transfer protocol. Mainly describes the server on which XDA holds different version of ROM for HTC/QTEK devices.

And yes, you should install the standard EXT ROM. You need to do a full back up and then restore your data not to loose existing data. Your device will be wiped!!

I would strongly suggest to think twice before installing a new ROM if you are a novice.

Just my .02cts
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Hold on just a minute.

No need for drastic measures yet.

This is the link to the FTP: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com

You can access it with IE or any other FTP capable browser or client.

User name: xda

Password: xda

You do not need to reinstall all of the ext ROM or format your device. All you need is to look for the cab file that installs the Qtek dialer (I assume Qtek ROMs do not use standard Win Mobile dialer, the ugly blue thing).

Copy this cab to your device and run it like a regular program installation.
