Develop Bugs

[Q] Don't kill me for this question please!

I don't own this phone, but I'm considering it. I have not read through the forums at all. With that said, here's my question: Is anyone working on cyanogenmod 7 for this phone? If so, links? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it

I don't think CM7 will be available for this phone anytime. hopefully there well be a version of CM9 in a few months based off of ICS. I could be wrong though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

It'll prob be a couple months, the ICS source code being available sooner than expected helps, and I believe one of the devs on the CM team just got an epic touch to work on, but these things take time. I'd say its gonna be a few months.

CM-AOSP-MIUI are all being worked on. Right now it seems ICS has all the attention, there is close to a 2k bounty for a stable ICS rom, ICS=AOSP=CM, there you have it

Is there anything else you want researched for you or are you competent enough to do it on your own now?

Thanks for answering my question and not being a douche (^)

lol there's one in every crowd. The phone is an incredible piece of hardware, no doubt. If I had my choice though I would have gone with the International or ATT version. Not to downplay any of our dedicated and super talented devs but there are simply far more devs working on the other versions. More dev support means more toys and tweaks to play with.

I KILL YOU!!!!! sent from my fav puppet Achmed :-D lol sry i had too
but I did see a rather large post of a dev from CM getting the phone, I wouldn't expect anything till the new year, maybe by Christmas if lucky.

T989 Update
Treat him nicely! Nagging will only de-incentivize him to work on it. Just be content we haven't forgotten about the Tmo SGSII.

Since word seems to have spread: Regarding the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (T-989). Yes, I have one and yes, I will be trying to get a stable CM9 build running on it.
Fair warning that this can only be a spare time task for me right now and I have a lot of priority projects right now, so it likely won't be quick. If anyone out there would like to help, that is great - let me know. Otherwise, I will do what I can.
I will update on progress, but please continue to be patient.

before anyone asks slayher got deployed into active duty

a) you have to login to a google account for that link
b) there is code to actually make it into a link ,use the globe with link button
c)see a) is this the same post as the other cm9 thread

For those that can't see it. It reads:

Well at least it isn't a useless post that doesn't confirm anything...saw this on my g+ a little while ago. Good to have confirmation I guess...but almost embarrassing that they had so many people pester them they had to release a special statement about the t989
Shameful...

So basically if you HAVE to have cm9 sell this phone now and save yourself the trouble. Too bad there is no other better phones for Tmobile to get.

I certainly don't approve of that type of behavior but on the other end I can understand why they are upset. We got the ****TIEST end of the galaxy s2 sick by a mile.

Does anyone have a link to [ROM] ::DARKSIDE::DIGITAL::WARFARE:: [v2.5.1]

It seems that the link to [ROM] :ARKSIDE:IGITAL::WARFARE:: [v2.5.1][TOUCH/TOUCHLESS][3.12.2012] is gone, but maybe someone has the actual DL link ?

I'm pretty sure he left because 1: he was burnt out 2: he was sick of the entitleist (yeah pretty sure I made up a word) children running around in this forum not reading before they post and thinking they are owed the world. For all those children please read my sig. TDJ was a great Dec that, like others, got driven out by all the kids whose mom bought them a cool new phone and decided to do things with it they probably never should have without some basic knowledge of Linux or android for that matter and expect everyone else to hold their hand through it when they screw it up or think they did simply because they don't really know what's going on in their phone in the first place.

Actually I think he left because of some inter-dev relations behind the scene. He left a pretty lengthy explanation as to why he's done. I didnt quite start this thread for this discussion though. So if a mod feels up to it, please close and delete this thread.
Thanks.

I'm still using his last rom release. The most smooth and battery efficient rom I have used on the SGSII. I work 12 hour shifts and use my phone heavily. Unplug it at 4a.m. and when I go to plug it back in at 9:00p.m I still normally have at least 20% battery left.

This. All you have to do is research the forum has a "find all posts by" then look for tdj s posts.

The more you become involved with xda, the more you wish you never did. At least for me anyways. There is no consistency here. The things I see I can't stand to bare anymore. Xda handing out RD status to people that don't deserve it or even understand wtf they're doing. Its all just nonsense. Everything I do from here on out will be strictly for myself. I am all set with this glorified children's playground. Android is supposed to be a community not a competition. A lot of these so called "devs" feel like they need to prove something to the world. This s**t ain't dungeons and dragons, its code hacking with expensive devices. And people wonder why manufactures won't warranty rooted devices...

Thanks for coming back to clear it up ,I feel you, and I see your point more and more. Sad to see another kernel level dev leave for sure, as kernel devs are becoming a smaller percentage of devs although the number of "devs" is increasing.

i COMPLETELY agree.. I've been around XDA for years, and I've seen people, moderators, and devs come an go. The rom that thederekjay has skillfully made and optimized for our precious SGS2s is a complete ROM. Really, how can there be any more development on something that can't be made better?
I'll tell you folks. Whenever or wherever Mr. thederekjay shows up.. I'll respectfully consider anything he places his hands on is a work of art.
I hope when ICS drops, i'll be the first one in line for what he has to offer, whether it's on XDA or anywhere else.
I hope the best for you thederekjay.

Publicly not to my knowledge, There maybe someone somewhere trying.After the issue we(E4GT Community) went through regarding the sense project build I doubt it.
There some amazing T.W builds Done by Team Rejectz Venum Nocturnal and others.

I think that's the project OP was referencing. I am not familiar with the whole debacle; however, I have gathered through various comments some kind of scam took place. It's a shame (for development and the community's sake) that the project had to end as it did. I personally don't like sense anyway, but it still would've been cool to have the option.

Ever hear of a thing called search? Anyways the community donated enough to get Swamp Goblin from the NS4G community to attempt a port of Sense, he received the phone, there was very little almost zero communication about progress. He supposedly was finishing up the last semester of school, then he had work, and a girlfriend, with very little time to work on development. Everyone got upset and wanted to know what he was doing with it and if he could send the device to someone else to work on the project. He finally came back with a booting but very broken from. No one has heard from him since then.
In my opinion he got a free upgrade from the NS4G and he is using the ET4G as his daily driver now or his girlfriend got a new phone to use.
Either way the community feels scammed and currently the Sense project is dead in the water.

Money was donated for a phone than once phone was purchased as you can see no Rom..

Pretty much this. I know it sucks, and I wish I could do more, but the fact is nothing can be done. Just learn from your (our) mistakes and keep moving forward. This is just going to leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth and until someone is ready to take on the project, I think we should leave it at that for now.

It may not affect us now but I'm sure in the future all of samsung's devices will contain their exynos chips.

Yes the above post is overflowing with factual statements. You probably think Codeworkx is soliciting donations and this is all a ploy right? There is no helping these devices save Samsung stepping up. No amount of money wikl magically document Exynos and the Mali GPU.
And my bad, I forgot that calling someone a caveman isn't an immature attempt to be funny.. but then again it's hard for me to argue with all of the facts about soliciting donations!

Dude you should learn to accept different opinions otherwise life gets boring. There is no need u to become cyankgenmod's lawyer because they do not need one. The facts regard my first post and you like it or not that is the truth. Sammy sold 20 million units of this device. Go to the international forum of the s3 and lets say you find 2000 users on that forum. Now do the math, how many percent of the overall share are these users? And that is what i am telling you even if theh stop supporting the galaxy still sammy does not get hurt at all. I said cyanogenmod was great two years ago when the android os was not so developed but now they lack ots of features. And i can give you many examples of what features they lack. Camera?svoice?smart stay? Etc etc. What are your arguments other than attacking me and not the points i make? I do not use most of those features sammy included this time but still that can make somebody think well maybe this cyanogenmod is getting lil bit behind. That is not an attack to cyanogenmod cuz i currently am using codename rom and it is great but for most part of those 20million gs3 owners cyanogenmod is not seen as u see it=god.

Man. I really hope cyanogen or his team don't come and read this thread.. They've put in a hell of a lot of work for this device, they deserve nothing but thanks, we can't forget all of the great work that has stemmed from their work either... Smh

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them

I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them

Very nicely put. I definitely agree
