I wish I could get this to boot up , keeps boot looping . That partitioning is no joke , it wiped out my external sd card , lol , no biggie . I had to chose the Odin escape route for now . I'm just looking for a stable rom for my spare phone (t989) my S4 is at SAMSUCK again , having the notorious sim disconnect syndrome ( I know it's a crap MB ) . I just want this to be a bit faster , and if navigation is stable that's a plus ( i had problems like that on previous roms) I'm willing to give it another try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UNiqEz:
I been saying that i can't live without the partition and i will explain why...

I have a nintendo wii and i was bored... But i had no space to put games in it, was getting a sata to usb cable for an old hdd i pulled out of a laptop... But instead i used my 8gb sd card from this phone since i no longer need it inserted lol

And the ability to install 89 freaking apps(not recommended) is a life saver if you are into app testing lol.

Also for the people running out of battery fast.

Install the latest build and the latest kernel afterwards... I'll tell you why.

1 overclock the gpu

2 leave cpu as is or bump it up slightly.

3 undervolt the living **** out of the display.

4 try it.

I been getting reasonable battery after i did this it was clunky and getting hot for some reason.

Hope this helps some of you guys out

Enjoy.

wtf so i decided to repartion my s2 t989 so i followed the instructions of the guide

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
Did you perform a full wipe before installing? Looks like you are going to have to Odin back to stock if you can't get into recovery.

Well you did a bunch of unnecessary stuff to your phone from what i think i gathered from that quote up there... The only thing i understood was "Semi brick"

Ok so first thing you did wrong is installing sultans twrp first

He says "This is very important, install the official twrp for your device first, backup your data(make sure data is selected)"

So to fix this you odin to stock rom like the previous user said, then try installing lollipop remember to read the instructions 3 or 4 times before jumping on big leaps, and ask questions if you didn't understand something from the guides i would be happy to help if i know about the issue.

Went to turn on WiFi and this happened:

04-08 23:18:07.012 E/WifiStateMachine(541): Failed to load driver

I cleared Davlik cache and restarted but no luck. I'm noticing that the option for "Network notification" is greyed out. I also see that switching the Frequency Band around has no effect and just defaults to "Automatic".

I'm currently running the March 18 release and was working perfectly up until recently. I'm not sure if it's due to the update or something else. Apps had an issue with crashing on startup but that recently stopped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
Hmmm.... I didn't encounter that kind of problem at all, and I'm also using the 3/18 Rom. I'm not so pro at codes, but it seems something is wrong with the WiFi Driver that is on your device. Try to reflash the Rom, see if that will fix it.

Hi All,

I have the rom from February 13, 2015. Once in a while all all the led button (setting home, return and search) turn on and off periodically.

Does anybody know what this means?

Thanks

Mean you have a new notification, this is one of this Rom's features
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
If it happens when you receive a notification then that is normal. It's the Notification Light that's built into CM. It blinks when you get a notification. To get to the settings for it go to settings-> sound and notification then scroll down until you see it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pahlevan:
I have three more questions:

Why does the new rom drain the battery faster than the stock rom? Is there a way the prevent it?

Does the ROM supports t-mobiles wifi calling?

I didn't get an notification but still the less were flashing. is something else wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
1. try flashing the kernel update and in aroma installer overclock GPU, underclock display a lot, and slightly bump up CPU (or leave the same if you don't need the extra performance)

2. I do not know

3. Was it charging? Mine flashes while charging
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pahlevan:
where do I get the kernel update and how do I flash it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
It is in the OP and you flash in recovery just like the ROM. Make sure you are on the latest version of the ROM first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pahlevan:
I have to repartition everything for the latest rom. right? it is too much effort now :((
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
Its a virtual repartition. It really isn't hard and doesn't take too long. Just read through the instructions carefully and then try it if you feel comfortable doing it. Its basically making a backup, flashing a new recovery, wiping, and flashing the ROM and kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pahlevan:
I agree the repartitioning doesn't take to much time but I have not found a good app that backup all the data (call data, ams, mms...). I used backup to gmail but is is really to slow. Do you have a recommendation for backing up the data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
There is a data backup and transfer thing in the OP. I never tried it, so I do not know if it works. I remember backing up someone elses phone like that earlier. Maybe titanium backup would work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] link9rly:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Well based on Sultanxda's recent posts on XDA, looks like he hasn't updated his CM12 ROMs for any device since March 18, it's not just the Hercules being left out. However it does look like he has been working on CM12.1 for the G Pad. Hopefully that means he will bring the 12.1 goodness to us in the future.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:

I think it's somewhere the At&t S2 post, I forgot where it is but I think a forgot the detail a little. He said he lost "interest", but this could mean something else

There is no fix for it for now, you have to wait for the developer to fix it. You have to remember that this Rom is still WIP (work in progress) you are expected to run into bugs.

And what bugs have you run into? Is sometimes when you call someone, you and the other person can't hear each other?(FIX: just simply reboot and it should work) And you can't use whatsapp?

Hi guys, I have the newest build of this ROM. everything seems to be working amazingly well, except of one thing - the superuser.

Does anyone have an idea of what to do to get it to work? Becouse now every single app that requires SU permission gives me an error. Moreover, I can't see any SU apps installed, should I install one? When I installed SuperSU by Chainfire from Google Play it said that I needed to install some binary packages through recovery, when I clicked ok - nothing happened.

So, can somebody possibly help me with that, please?

No phone network on 5.1

Thanks for the great ROMs !!!!

Here is feedback on 4/18 (CM 12.1 / 5.1)

Phone and Network.

Unlocked T989 running version 3/18 CM 12 very happily.

Running in Australia on Optus.

Trying 4/18 CM 12.1 + PA GAPPS 5.1 Micro

Installed 4/18 CM 12.1 PA GAPPS 5.1 Micro version over 3/18 CM 12

Needed to reboot twice to completely optimize all apps.

Initially No phone-network connection, left device alone for an hour, then received a call,

Install Kernel only for OC and UV

Rebooted, No phone-network, left device overnight, still no phone-network.

Factory reset,

Repeat install 4/18 Cm 12.1 + PA GAPPS 5.1 Micro

No phone-network.

Revert to 12.0. Still happy, but hoping that something will come up to explain why installs not going well.

Thanks again!!!!!

I installed the new ROM last night, and can confirm the network bug (and that toggling Wi-Fi fixes it). Also, I had my lock screen secured with a PIN and today it wouldn't let me enter the digits, so I removed it. Other than those, it's been working fine, with no sign of the infamous "calling bug" (knock on wood). :D :beer:

Edit: The mobile network failed overnight, and no tinkering has brought it back. For some reason it's having problems recognizing the SIM card. :confused:
