There was an issue with it not finding my SIM card, which a couple of restarts fixed.

The question I have is in regards to setting a wallpaper form the gallary. It has the same dimensions as is if I was setting the lock screen wallpaper. When I tried it out it looked like crap. Anyway I search this thread and found nothing about this issue. Is this a known issue? Kind of bums me out because the stock wallpapers suck.

Thanks again for giving us this sweet ICS goodness!!

I actually just found that out myself, i'll look into it this weekend.

Wallpaper locked in Lockscreen dimension

Im having the same exact issue with choosing a wallpaper. It will not let me set/crop the a wallpaper in landscape mode just in portrait mode. Anyway around this? Ive even tried different ways: through gallery, through homescreen (longpress then chosing wallpaper), through browser (downloading a pic and setting as wallpaper) . It looks like its set to keep the wallpaper with the same dimensions as the lock screen.

Anyone else experience a boot loop on first boot that then reverts back to recovery? Very strange, never had this problem before. I did everything right, not sure why I can't boot this on my T989D.

I'll expand on above:

1. Boot into recovery.
2. Clear cache partition, clear dalvik cache.
3. Factory wipe.
4. Flash Darkside's wipe.
5. Flash ChicagoIllinois ROM, wait 15 minutes.
6. Reboot the phone.
7. Samsung splash is shown, Telus 4G splash is shown, phone is just about to start booting, it will vibrate then reboot.
8. Second boot attempt shows Samsung splash screen and then goes directly into recovery mode.

Anyone else experienced this or how to remedy it? Keep in mind I am running a T989D, however, hardware I believe is identical to T989.

Thanks again,
Autom8r
When I flash Chicago's roms, I do the following

1. Boot into recovery
2. Factory wipe data/cache
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe Delvik
5. Use TJD Super Wipe
6. M&S Kernal Cleaner
7. Flash rom
8. Wipe cache again
9. Wipe Delvik again
10. Fix permission
11. Reboot and is good to go on the first run

Like Law said just flash your own over it. Here is the default SGSII: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19450318&postcount=27

EDIT - Oh, and sorry Law if I'm not to post links to other stuff, but I know it took me forever to find them myself, so I'm just trying to help.

Thank you sir

I'm introducing an upgrade system that the brave among you are welcome to test out. CWM Flashable Updates to fix various issues that arise. This way you do not have to update your entire rom, just flash the bullet. So the latest rom is "ChicagoIL2", if you have that rom, do not flash the Bullet Updates. As a test I have included the vibration fix at the bottom of the OP, let me know if it works. But BACK YOUR STUFF UP FIRST! Much love and thanks to all you great fellow technophiles.

I'm all for it, but as of last night I'm on the ChicagoIL2 rom. I actually waited until 3:30am, but it came online around 3:40 lol. Got back from watching the midnight release of the Avengers. Kick ass movie BTW

List of minor bugs...

Forcecloses:
1 - Forceclose in the dialer when pressing voicemail button.
2 - Forceclose in Contacts App when pressing Yellow Pages icon at top of contact list.
3 - When using Instagram ... App freezes and causes phone to reboot when choosing or scrolling through filters.

Random bugs:

1 - Loss of SIM card / Network connectivity
2 - Wallpapers only in portrait mode.
3 - Built in Apex Launcher does not have settings. I had to download the App from market and replace it in system/App folder for full functionality .

Other than these minor bugs... the rom is delish... Thanks Dev.

This is a good ROM. Had some serious battery drain at first but figure it out to be an app issue (Maps). I am however, having some issues with BT and DATA working at the same time. When data is turned on, I can't get my BT device to connect. can only use one at a time The other odd thing is , I did search for Tmobile locations , it found a few , but when I called , ATT directory assistance suggested some other numbers....ATT Yellowpages still in here ?

I do need to get that annoying yellow pages thing out. Bluetooth is not something I've heard so far but I'll look into it.

I'm having this issue as well. Didn't know why I could get my Bluetooth to connect until I read this post and turned off data. Now Bluetooth works. Turn on data and it stops again.

Any idea why voicerecorder.apk doesn't show up in apps, even though its in system\app already? I tried replacing it with an apk from a GB ROM and it showed up, but force closed.

The Bluetooth / data issue seems to be hit and miss, do you all have ChicagoIL2?

Clock app is going back in the next version, I may actually put a few in and see what you all

Wifi tethering

By chance will Wifi tethering be worked out in the next release?
I rely on Wifi tethering and I would hate to have to revert back to a GB rom just because of that issue.

Thanks again for all your hard work. It's much appreciated!!


EDIT: I found an app that works for tethering. For all of you having issues with Wifi tethering, checkout FoxFi it works and doesn't even need root.

It should be worked out because I want to rebase the next release on the official software or a full leak of it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Soon after I posted I actually found an app that works and it will tide me over until the issues are worked out. I've updated my original post with the link for others to use.

Thanks again ... you rock!

    +1. I installed this rom last night and it seems solid. However, it doesn't have the 16 toggles which I really like. I'd also like to know how to add it back on. I did search the thread but maybe I didn't search it well enough with the right terms.

    I wonder if Phoenix's theme for Darkside Evo 2B2 with 1% battery mod would work on this rom. Would it also give me the 16 toggles too?

    Thanks.

    There is a specific 16 toggles flash pack and last I saw our phone defaults to 1% as that battery polling variable is not found on phone (well at least when I ran checks). It seems to be mostly Moto phones that poll at odd times.

    Toggle zip can be found on my mirror here: http://goo.gl/uuVLI
    should work on just bout any ICS ROM (have yet to have any issues and have flashed it with most every if not every ICS ROM for t989).

    Flash via Recovery (custom not stock)

    Just released conversion kernels to make things much easier on the devs, and fix call echo and vibration on some of the UCLE2 roms that are out.
