Ok, so normally I hate placeholders, but I'd like to give you guys an update of where I am at. Once I am finished tweaking, I will release. The base rom is done, now the modding and tweaking needs to happen.
So far:
--------------
Deodexed, Debloated, Debinged, and mostly, detouchwizzed. Debinged...even in the framework. I think* all Bing traces are gone now.
Visual voice mail gone, voice mail button in dialer opens Google Voice.
Verizon Wireless carrier banner replaced with something....better.
MMS app will not longer do multi-part messages, but instead convert to MMS automatically once the 160 character mark is hit.
GPS tweaked.
Wow in one day of having the phone you have a rom halfway competed

Wow, I can't wait for this even though we have had bad experiences with place holders, I know this isn't the case lol..
I don't know how many times I'm going to say thank you, but here is another thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
along the lines of changes to the voicemail button.....it would be awesome if the ticker's voicemail icon could correspond to Google Voice...but I am sure that is a lot more involved than changing the button's link in the Dialer.
a similar desire exists for the sms icon to correspond to Handcent
I used titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app and that killed the ticker's SMS icon functionality....I saved the stock app to reinstall but that introduces a different problem....the ticker icon doesn't go away reliably after having read the text in Handcent.
maybe this thread wasn't intended for our wish list items.....if that is the case, I apologize.
thanks for your help to our little Continuum family!
thanks for the help here adryn! my wife has the continuum, and i got hers to load red recovery, and the other modded rom.
question on this rom you are building..will it have the bstats and fxpms scripts? are the ones for fascinate compatable with contunuum?
thanks...

curious (warning - n00b question) - would it be possible to make the GV VM connection optional for those of us who don't use GV?
Also, what do you mean by GPS tweaked? The only thing i've noticed about mine is when i'm out geocaching with c:geo or using google maps to navigate while walking, sometimes the compass seems to be off by 180 degrees. when driving, google nav seems fine - likely since it can figure out direction based on previous locations in the same way it figures speed, but i don't walk fast enough for it to figure out direction - especially when geocaching since i'm always stopping to look for the cache.
all told - that's pretty impressive that you knocked out so much stuff in the short time you have had the phone! Thanks for your help with this device!
Any chance you have cracked open the ticker, or at least made it more useful to people who don't use the stock apps (that is... EVERYONE)?
One suggestion i saw somewhere (probably here) really interested me - put the notification area in the ticker screen and make it big enough to fill it, so you dont' have to try and hook into their custom ticker app - just use the existing system one, only relocated/resized. that way all system notifications (no matter what app they're from) will be visible in the ticker, all the time, as well as the time of day, and apps won't have to be custom-written to take advantage of the ticker; they'd just WORK.
I just can't wait till it is out I am looking forward to it

shoot - as long as it doesn't affect anything else, i'd take that over the annoying, noisy crap vzw put on there. is the shutdown screen also black/silent?
I don't have the phone right here handy atm but, I've already downloaded the Rom and alt browser. looking forward to flashing it to my boy's phone! I know he'll be happy too. One thing I love about these Android phones is how they give us the ability to have that "new phone" feeling any time we like, thanks to their rich development community. This is one thing the Continuum crowd has missed out on until now.
I've been an Android owner since the first myTouch 3G. I've owned and loved/hacked/modified both the 3G and myTouch 4G... I've played with IPhones and Blackberries.. And I can tell you the T-Mo SGS2 is the definitely the phone for me.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted with SuperOneClick (zergRUSH exploit). I unlock my phone with facial recognition (Visidon AppLock Pro, in combination with WidgetLocker) and it works flawlessly. I'm running Wave Launcher which allows me to choose from multiple apps instantly with a swipe of the finger, LauncherPro Plus which cleans up stock home lag and offers endless customization, Sign (paid) which allows me to call/text anyone instantly by gesture, Minimal Reader Pro serving me multiple RSS feeds in a scrollable widget (so I always have my most important news constantly), LPP Facebook scrollable widget with the feed updating every five minutes, the coolest weather app ever IMO (BeWeather), the list goes on and on.
All this on a huge, vibrant and bright beautiful screen (yes there are good screens, not everyone gets the shaft and there are a LOT of very picky complainers) and the best part?
This phone flies. I mean fast. Not to mention I get between 14 (minimum) and 20 hours depending on how heavy my usage is.
Maybe I have some freak phone/battery and I got lucky. Maybe I know what I'm doing and some don't...
I'd be happy to help anyone who wants their phone to perform like a champ.
I don't use custom kernels. I'm on the stock ROM. I took the time to make this bad boy perform like the supreme phone it is, and honestly I couldn't be happier.
Trust me, get this phone. I'll help you hook it up!

Thanks for the info! I switched from Sprint a few months back and traded my Evo 4G for a Vibrant. I'm running MIUI. At first I loved this phone, but I have yet to get GPS truly working which apparently I use more than I thought. I didn't buy a phone when I switched because I was waiting for the GS2, but it took so long to come out that I'm now interested in the Galaxy Nexus, but who knows when/if that'll come to T-Mo.
Now that I've waited this long, would you still recommend getting the GS2, or waiting for the Galaxy Nexus? My patience is wearing thin though. If I were eligible for the Magenta Saturday discounts I would jump on the GS2, but it's for new Unlimited Value lines only. Any advice or thoughts?

Craigslist?? Other option is if you're eligible for a renewal on your contract..you can consider getting the phone at the subsidized price & pay cash for it..
If that was the case, I'd just sell the Vibrant on craigslist and take the cash to put forth on the GS2
I ended up selling my Sensation to get the GS2 and am very happy I did

you have to be using WidgetLocker
In WidgetLocker, go to: Settings > Advanced > HomeHelper
Check all three boxes:
"HomeHelper Compo.."
"HomeHelper Block Home"
"Block Home in other.."
Then click on "Select System Home" and choose WL HomeHelper.
Mission accomplished.
thanks...it works! still a little buggy though...but i guess thats just the app...the stock lockscreen comes up before the camera unlock...really annoying that you have to slide that first...is there a workaround for that?
edit: i disabled stock lockscreen in WL...seems to have done the trick..for now its working great...i like that it still shows the status bar when you turn it on...that way i can see see the time and battery info without unlocking it
another edit: found that if you long press the home button the recent apps list still comes up...if you have anything listed you can go to that app which then unlocks the phone...so this camera lock app is still useless

That only happens because you disabled stock lockscreen (it turns on "easy wake" ) otherwise long pressing the home button does nothing.
And I haven't found it necessary at all to disable the stock lockscreen, what you're talking about does not happen to me at all.. I've never used "disable stock lockscreen"
yeah...i figured out a way to get rid of the stock lockscreen...still..this app is a little annoying because after you unlock it, you have to use a slider unlock anyway for widgetlocker...if they ever get the unlock feature to work right (one that goes straight to the homescreen, without any bugs) ill gladly use it...but an ICS rom will probably be out by then..ONE CAN DREAM
try this- put some of your most used widgets on your lock screen so that when you unlock the phone you can read your news/check weather/texts our whatever so that it doesn't feel pointless to unlock your phone
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
yeah...i guess...i already have a widgetlocker set up that i like...by the time i come up with a new layout its not even worth the face lock feature..cause hopefully ICS is right around the corner
From what I read ICS is a major system hog. I'm not sure I'll even run it unless it's a custom ROM.

I just ordered mine from Best Buy. T-Mo is gonna ship it to my house and I can't wait! (Luckly it's before December or Cyber Monday)
What's your single most favourite feature of the Galaxy Nexus or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Mine has to be Face Unlock. It works brilliantly and it doesn't seem to be fooled by pictures of me which is great!
I only have one issue with it being that sometimes I get a message stating "Couldn't find your face" but then when I turn the screen off and back on Face Unlock immediately unlocks the phone after identifying me. Has anyone else had this minor issue?
Hardware acceleration. Finally. And the bigger screen without a humongous phone attached to it.

I just wanted to add that I have noticed this EXACT behavior. It does not happen all the time, but often enough to notice. The lighting is good and my face is clear, but I get "Couldn't find your face" message. Without moving the phone or changing the angle I just turn the screen off and then back on... and it instantly unlocks.
I can't be certain, but I think it has something to do with the phone being dormant for a while... when I come back to the phone I see this issue, but if I am using it often then it does not happen as much. I'm wondering if it has to do with a memory issue or something. Perhaps the Face Unlock feature is not actively in memory and it takes some time... and then just times out the first time.
There's a subtle feature that I read about in the user guide for the GNex, and it's one that I really like - When you are connected to a WiFI network, ICS will monitor your signal and reliability. If the network you are on is very unreliable or has a very poor signal, the phone will disconnect from it in order to use your 3G/4G signal instead.
When I leave work, this used to be a problem, as my HTC Incredible would hang on to the poor WiFi signal from the building, and I'd have to turn WiFi off in order to do anything network related. Now, the phone disconnects from the WiFi long before I even have to think about there being a problem.

I love the whole swipe to delete in general. I love the usability of ICS. Everything is so crisp fast and intuitive.
Scrolling. That's it. Being able to scroll, flick, etc. without having to guess what the phone is actually doing after an input is paramount. That was my biggest issue with gingerbread and I'm glad they've tweaked it in ICS.
i also like the animation from vertical to horizontal and vice versa, very matrix like

One of best features of the continuum is the unique Ticker, which I love to mod directly... But what tends to go unnoticed is the grip sensors that come along with it...
But now, I've tapped into this un-thought-of potential to give you the "Control Your Music With the Grip Sensor" Mod..
What this does is allows you to control your music, whether it be the stock music player, or Play Music, with the Grip sensor by double tapping... You double tap on the left grip sensor, and it brings you back to the previous song (or the beginning of the original song, depending on the length you've been listening to said song), and if you do the same with with the right it will bring you to the next song!
Now you don't even have to turn on the ticker to change your music!
But that's not all! This mod also includes an update to the rotation aware feature I have released recently. Now, instead of just the Standby Screen, the Quick Launch screen and the Missed Notification View screen rotate also! A small update will probably be released soon-ish that will rotate the Ticker History Button within the Music Player, New Message, and Ticker Tape View, too!
This package includes the mods mentioned above, and all the others that came before it, including:
1) Rotation Aware
2) blah blah blah... hahah
3) Modified Browser (aka, more tabs, no 'locked' bookmarks, google search, etc)
VIDEO:
If some wants to upload a video of them having their phone off, and double tapping the grip sensor to move within songs, go ahead! haha.. You could also show off the rotation aware aspect of the ticker, too, if you wanted I will feature it here

thank you for doing all the work. got any ideas why the phone would continue to drop 3g covered. i no longer have a 3g data connection again.
The 3g issue wouldn't be because of anything that I did; instead, it'd just be a bug within this leaked build... Or maybe a bad flash/setup... I've noticed myself the 3g being spotty, but I never use it really so it's no big deal...
And I'll upload the (hopefully) fixed package tomorrow, with rotation of even more stuffs, haha

oh in no way do i think it's anything you have done. I'm just trying to figure out what that is because that's what i rely on for internet a lot of time. it seems to be fine on stock but when i flash to deodex i've lost it twice and have to go back to ec09 to get back. i'll just stick with odex and debloat and see if it's something i'm removing. look forward to the new package. love the updates you're working on.
I only noticed 3g dropping a couple times, and it always came back after a restart, but I was having major issues with some apps/processes not running correctly... G-maps/nav was almost unusable, notifications not working, multitasking was a joke, and my logcat was full of errors and always had seemingly random stuff running. About a week ago I was just about to reflash everything but decided to try the "fix permissions" in CWM first. I research it a little, and some said it would fix stuff, others seemed to think it caused the phone to burst into flames I tried it, and my phone is running great... Apps work, maps work, can run nav and listen to music at the same time again, and my logcat is clean with only the battery updater running. This phone has never worked this well.
So, long story short, if you have to reflash again anyway, try fixing permissions... If you haven't already.

Hey TB, just a question and/or FYI... When the phone is in landscape mode and I go into the custom ticker apps, it won't let me scroll left/down to get to the two apps on the other side of the "X" button. Didn't know if this was intentional or not. Not a big deal, the only times it is in landscape is in the car dock or playing a game, but thought I would ask about it. This is still the best work you've done on this phone! I've been showing off the grip music control and people think it's awesome!

Don't worry, I did finish the the settings mod, where you can choose what you want, this and that, but I am gonna release everything when I am done with the semester
Hey TB! Thought we had lost you!
My 3g went out on my phone, so verizon sent another one. Right now I'm running stock ec09,just rooted and debloated. I'm torn between staying on this that just works, or upgrading for all the new features and dealing with a few bugs. I think I'm going to wait until I can get a new phone and then flash everything back... That way if something goes wrong I can just get a new phone. But.... If you release this then I'll have to try it. Lol
Btw, your Holo launcher mod works fine in froyo!

Has anyone else experienced app icons disappearing from folders? The icon remains visible in the app drawer but isn't visible in the home screen folder.
The real strange thing is the folder treats it as though it's still there. (There's a gap where it would be) If I try to add it to the folder again, then both show up.
I'm having the problem with one app (wifi analyzer) but had experienced it before with other apps.
Any ideas or feedback is appreciated.

Are you using the hide icons feature in the app drawer ??
I miss a few on occasion too. ..
Try this. ..
Enable all icons again. ..then wipe cache in the recovery. ..
Then reboot and hide apps again. .
It appears to be a stock bug. ...g
This is one of those bugs that sparked my curiosity to try different ROMs.
Is there any place to read up on known issues with i317? Samsung has really dropped the ball in regards to support on their website. This seems to be the main place to ask questions but I feel like I have quite a few, some are general and others are more android specific.
I think I may be having buyers remorse now. I'm reading and trying to figure out as much as I can but it feels like I've read every book in an encyclopedia set and while I've learned new things the general things still remain unanswered or unfound. I'm not sure if it's device specific, android specific, or an app gone awry.

Every device and OS has bugs,,,it's just part of the game...
The note 2 is a solid and good running device with great support (here on XDA)...and the Rom offering is excellent as well.
If you purchased the device new, and it has any type of severe glitch...you may want to consider a warranty replacement.
Mine has always performed very well on the stock firmware, and although the TW 4.1.2 version is a bit buggy, it still performs beyond my expectations when compared to the note 1...
No regrets here at all.....g
It's been pretty solid. I just get a bit reluctant to try anything beyond stock right now because there are those little things that seem to occur. I occasionally get a blue outlined box around app icons which has left me baffled because it's a rare thing but has happened a few times.
I'm not knocking the phone or its OS. It just seems tedious to find answers to questions. I am not comparing anything with my iphone experience, because it took years for me to become a go to guy with any issues with iOS or even the hardware. I just am finding it a bit more of a challenge to locate a good sgh-i317 based sort of a knowledge base. Do you by any chance know of any good information banks? Or perhaps I should ask where's a good place to start learning more in depth about it?

The best reference for all things android is here. ..XDA
Do a search for XDA university. .
You'll find every topic, ranging from the beginning of Android. ..all the way up to full blown coding from source.
No better resource exists anywhere on the planet. ..g
Perfect! Seems like exactly what I have been digging around for. Thanks a million.

Always welcome. ...g
I thought it was just me getting random blue borders on widgets. It only started within the last 2 months, and the only possible change would be having adding perseus kernel.
Small enough to not care, frequent enough to make me say "wtf"

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

The missing app icons is more of a problem for me. The blue border thing just makes me scratch my head.
Sadly if you anything aside from flipping through home screens it disappears. I've tried getting a screen capture of it and it disappears. It's almost like when you only single click something on a windows desktop. It's a rare occasional thing but drives me nuts wondering what it is or why it happens.
