Post rooting issues. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

After installing juggernaut 5.0 on my phone with the ics ultimate theme I have had a couple of problems.
I have noticed on my home screen (i have cnn, accuweather, and and retro clock and date widgets in it) I have seen portions of the screen flash blue (like half the screen sometimes)
Did I kill my phone?
Also swiftkey x keyboard keeps on disabling itself.
Please help me, thanks

Also the blue flash problems takes over the whole screen at times and it looks like it has lines going down in them.

Did you install the correct ICS theme? The one for 5.0 and not 4.1?

give it another reboot then perhaps the rom will settle down....thats what i would do...

You also want to make sure you always restart after flashing a ROM, then go back into recovery and flash a theme. Don't flash them back to back.

Well I just rebooted my phone let's see if it happens again... Yes it's the 5.0 version of the theme and i rebooted after I flashed the rom before I installed the theme.

My phone doesn't rid me of gravity.
I love this rom, is that a bug?

This rom is smooth.

Smooth and the battery life exceptional I have found that doing certain things I would do on other aosp and aokp based roms give me black screens then I have to re boot
like changing dpi and messing with tweeks in rom tool box.
Other than that this rom is refreshing
Thnak you

JC is probably the go to man with this question, but I know the KERNAL must have init.d support for it to "take".

I guess then it'd have to do more with using the tweaked kernel in the OP.

I'm assuming from reading the original post, it says it has Kobridge's init.d scripts baked in, so the KERNAL included in the ROM must already have that ability for those to work...
Anyone feel free to correct me.

Confirmed odexme apk does not work...starts to load after granting SU permission, does not auto-reboot....once you reboot yourself, phone doesnt even get to boot animation.

I'm sure this probably isn't your first time using odex me, but just in case, I remember it seems to take forever to complete. Like hit ok on reboot and odex.. Go make a sandwich (preferable a deluxe), come back to the phone and (depending on how many apps you have installed) eat the sandwich and you might get done eating before it's done... Forever,

Yeah I've used it several other times and it does take forever, but usually during reboots (thought I bricked on my first use). This time it just hung on the app screen saying it was going to reboot and I hadn't loaded any apps yet.
Made a sandwich during my nand reload though lol

Lol.. Good one.
I have had that happen to me one time as well. It turned out that the KERNAL I was trying to use it with didn't have init.d support. I'm not saying that is the case here, but generally (unless you're odex me app goes bad sitting on your SD card waiting for its next use) I don't believe the app is ROM specific. Build maybe(FE07/FE10 etc...)? I don't know.

I'm sure its build specific at this point, the ROM is still quick as hell without it though.
And so u know, that was the best damn BLT I've made.

flashed this earlier today from the stock unlocked plus kernel (coming from agat63's tfe10 rom), and upon rebooting i got an error stating lbe privacy guard couldn't start because it didn't have root access. then i tried loading up rom toolbox, and it too was borked.
so i went ahead and wiped data/cache and re-flashed the rom, but still i had no root. i wiped data again and flashed back to tfe10 and i was back in business.
bad download or rom not compatible with flashing from fe10 unlocked recovery?

I still had root no issues, bad download maybe. If you can check md5 before flashing the next update. If the same issue happens please report.

Not sure if i am the only one but...

ever since i rooted and flashed nard rom, my rogers splash screen goes from the normal red to a dark blue....no matter what i do it wont ever stay red....ive tried flashing the stock rogers kernel....any suggestions?
Mine did it too when I flashed ICS roms. I kind of like it. Mine stars red then goes blue after a few sec. It stays blue on reboots but goes back to red for a few sec if I do a power down.
I can tell you when I flashed back to Inc3ption it went back to only red.

I like that it's different...I found some place on youtube that was changing the red rogers to say 'Rooted' in Red instead of 'Rogers' but couldn't be done on our phone. That would be coo if it could be done on our glide? Anyone know how or if theae types of changes will be able to be done on the cm9 build? PeACe

I was on Rogers GB initially. Then went to one click which removed rogers and put at&t at the boot. Then i'd NardROM for quite a while and now i'm running LiteROM, but both of these have a samsung logo followed by galaxy s boot screen. I'm amazed you guys still have the rogers logo . Also i've flashed the alpha bults by dman which changes the boot animation to the cool CM9. Haven't seem the rogers logo since flashing the one click ICS.
Never flashed the 1 click.I actually flashed the cwm ICS stock. Flaky USB makes me afraid to flash the 1 click. ICS is working fine with this method I wonder what is different doing it this way. Oh and I got to keep my cwm 5.0 this way.

What is the difference between the cwm5 and 6 bc I haven't been able to find much of one. Is there a benefit to using one or the other?
CWM 5 volume keys up and down to navigate and power button to select. CWM 6 touch controlled. I have 5 and I am quite happy with it. Some people love 6. Guess it's a matter of preference. Since 5 is working for me I saw no need to try 6.

[Q] Rom Toolbox Themes and Icons

I noticed I could potentially change my icons and themes from RT, but attempting that on my DX caused bad results. Has anyone tried it with this S3 rom, or any others? GS3 SGH-T999 with Root66 4.1.1 T-Mobile rom with flashed boot animation enabler and CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 (I think)
Thanks!

*Bump*
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
For most part RT Pro works. Some Status Bar icons can be changed will others dont do anything. Ive noticed that some work like a battery icon change works visually but the percentage of the battery level was always off. I know boot animation can be used but on a CM10 based rom it does not store the boot ani in the right folder but I do believe it does store it correctly on a stock rom.
Never fails to try just do a Nandroid backup. I do it all the time.
Okay, I'll give it a go after my next backup. I got the boot animations to work after flashing an enabler I found on another post. It still does the T-Mobile chime, but that's fine.
Thanks for the feedback!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Tried RT Pro icons and it didn't do anything, other than bugger my accounts up. I just restored the backup from TouchWin to get it back. I'm curious if It's just where Samsung stored the icons, since some came up not found on system, or if Samsung has them blocked, and it requires an enabler, like the custom boot animations do. I'll have to finger walk a bit more and see if there's an enabler, or another app that can change icons. I looked into UOTKitchen, I think it was called, and It's got some neat icons I'd like to use, but I'm worried about using it to mod Root66, and totally screwing up the rom, or worse, fouling my phone up.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

random Red flashing boarder on i747 after update over the air to 4.1

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?

I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.

Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.

Nvmnd it didnt completely fix the problem.
It doesnt do it nearly as much, but its still there. I will redo from kies.

AT&t GS3 running on CM 10.1.0 RC2 theme issues

Hopefully someone can help the new guy out. I have been trying to get themes and lock screens to work for days now on my GS3 running CM10.1.0 and nothing seems to work right. Using the theme manager in the settings I keep getting an error that says my screen resolution is not right.
I have also tried using CWM recovery to load the lock screens and it says the zip was successful, but doesn't work.
Any thoughts?

It should still set reguardless of the screen resolution.

I know it should, but there are only pieces that set. And sometimes when I set it once part sets then I redo it again and more set.
As it comes to the lock screens they don't set at all.

Take a look at this thread. Be sure to read everything.
The golden rule is to set the default, reboot, then set the new theme...

I appreciate that I will try it and get back to you. Unfortunately I am currently using my back up phone (rooted HTc Vivid) while I wait for my replacement GS3 to come in the mail since mine died. I will let you know what happens.
Also sorry I'm still newer to the Xda forums, but I will make sure to check and also post in the q&a next time
