This is awesome. We should be seeing a lot of ROM's popping up soon guys.
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-source-code-now-being-pushed-git-servers
HC source was also released by the way. Maybe we could get some feature in HC on our existing phones.
You didn't see the other three threads pertaining to the release of the ICS source code?
Can't wait for this to start popping up on ROMs. Beautiful!
I'd be happy with an AOSP kernel.

I'm betting we'll see an experimental ROM by the weekend. Hopefully CM9 comes for us before Xmas.

How do you think this is possible? Cyanogen tweeted to check back in two months for CM9. We have no ICS source code for our device. The source code released is designed specifically to compile for use on the Galaxy Nexus, which is nothing like our device in terms of hardware. Please avoid making statements like this, as it only serves to ramp up unrealistic expectations, which is not good for either developers or users.
Apparently you have no idea what you're talking about. Do you honestly think a dev on XDA isn't going to get this up and running for our phones. Look what devs are able to do just with the SDK.
Also, look at the keyword in that sentence. It's not getting people's expectations up. I specifically said hopefully.

Unfortunately, I know significantly more about this issue than you do. None of the SDK ports are complete. Do your research. No developer will EVER claim that an SDK port is a viable daily driver. Also, please point me to where I said that it won't eventually be developed for the E4gT? At no point did I say that. My goal is to temper expectations, which you obviously don't care about. First you said "this weekend." Then you said hopefully CM9 by Christmas. You can say "hopefully" all you want, but Cyanogen himself has given a loose timeframe of 2 months.

I don't see trolling, I see responding. You may not like what he's saying, and I may not like the implications of it, but it appears to be a factual analysis of the situation intended to prevent people from getting overexcited. Look at the amount of entitled *****ing that people have been giving to the CM team over getting ANY version on our phones. People thinking that unrealistic goals are feasible helps raise that. I personally like your optimism, but I'm all for realism being injected into the discussion, too.
Guys, guys, guys. Sometimes its just more fun to raise your hopes; convince yourself there is something to look forward to in the near future. No need to rain on everyone's parade who are (as I am) not knowledgeable enough to know that our hopes may be too high.
Remember when you used to just want things and not have the ability to know whether or not you could get it? Childhood? Its not necessarily a bad thing.
odub303, they're only upset because you're the guy who tells them there is no Santa, then tells them there is no Easter Bunny. Then laughs at them for thinking they existed.
Sweet source is released !!!
.... expect nothing for us anytime soon.

How do you figure? I started this tread to inform people what was released. I didn't get expectations up and I stated I'm willing to bet some dev is already at work on something.
There's always some dude on XDA who thinks he knows it all and wants to spill his 2 cents and bring a thread downhill.
People around here love to start e-drama. He hasn't said anything on here that I already don't know.

just because we have source means nothing......
we will not get an ics rom any time soon and we are better off hoping cm9 will be available to our phone
if anything we will get a rom that has no 4g barely any data..camera wont work...just typical stuff
Well out of 60 devices I sure would hope ours would be supported...

Well I was able to get the source built after 20+ hours on my little dell duo netbook/tablet. Now I know there isn't much I can do with it since its built for the galaxy nexus. I just wanted to see if it will build without error.

I'm thinking the official version of ICS from Tmo is going to be ICS with extra filling (bloatware) that I couldn't give a crap about...and take forever. Am I right?
I really don't want to go back to rooting (first experience was a Behold II), but I'm willing to if I can do it more easily now, and find a ROM that is nearly stock, sans bloatware.
Oh, and give me the stock Android Calendar, that's all.
Shoot. Rereading this, I think root is a must. Can someone give me a quick and easy 1-2-3 and the most STABLE (closest to stock Android) ICS ROM to date? I just want a daily use phone without all the crap software, but also no force closes, etc.
Uh oh.....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Don't think we have any roms that are stock android. Most if not all of them have some sort of touchwiz due to it being a samsung.
What you probably want is to get a Galaxy Nexus and sell your T989.

A quick search or a glance at our development section will show you that ICS is not available for our beloved T989 yet.
So, I'm just now learning that the ICS that was released recently is for the international version, which, apparently, doesn't have anything to do with the Tmobile S2. Is this correct?

That's correct
Rooting now is extremely easy. Follow the directions in the sticky and you can be rooted in less than 5 minutes.
Most if not all of the ROMS in the Dev section are debloated though still providing some of the useful features of touchwiz.
From what I've read, the ICS update for the international SGS2 doesn't have the look and feel of the traditional ICS. The features are there, but the UI looks more akin to what we've got now.

Seriously. I knew this before I even got the phone. We'll get ICS roms probably when T-mobile decides to release official ICS.
God, I am so sorry I jumped the gun and assumed that when ICS came out for the S2 that someone here would have made a ROM for Tmobile already. What the hell could I have been thinking?
For all those offended (and afflicted) by my mistake, I beg and pray for forgiveness. I hope we can find a peaceful settlement, out of court, to compensate you for having been so egregiously assaulted by the words I so carelessly, so casually slung; the bandwidth I wasted.
This I pray, in God's name.
We'll get it. Several have tried to work on it already. Just a matter of time.

The problem with this statement is that you've attempted to prove a "not"...which has never been done. This has been a 2000 year old argument that keeps religion alive-people can't prove that there's NOT a god.
So, prove to me, show me exactly where you did NOT find ICS...and then prove the next place I look will not have it as well. Because after hearing all the arguments, now I think ICS is out there...somewhere. My search will continue! I will become stronger in my faith! I will continue to search, as long as it takes!
Dear god, even some users of XDA cannot forgive me, I beg of you, please forgive me for not searching eternally for Ice Cream Sandwich.
...and to the rest of you here, those who didn't react like I kicked your dog, thank you for your non reaction.
I had not paid attention before today, but I noticed that Calkulin is not a recognized developer! I looked up what is required and he seems to fit the bill.
Maybe he has not filled out an application. I think in his case the moderators should upgrade him to Recognized Developer with or without an application. When I first purchased this phone and was trying to decide on which rom to start with, it became obvious that he was recognized even without the title. I saw more than one person posted that they bought this phone because they saw him developing for it. He is very involved with every leak or upgrade. His interaction with everyone is exemplary. His work provides a good base for other developers working with our phone.
Either way, Thanks Calk for all of your hard work. A lot of us appreciate it.
Edit: Thanks for thanking me, but I haven't developed anything. Go find something of Calk's that you have not thanked him for and thank him. He is the one that deserves it! And remember to thank the other developers and people that help.
I assume that maybe he doesn't want to have that status. He is most definitely a Dev though. I've used his ROM's since the Windows mobile days.... Very smart man =)
That should tell you something about xda... if you can't pick up on the clue.

I think that everyone agrees with you. He is too busy developing to care if he has a title on this site. It hasn't and won't keep him from developing. I have seen a number of recognized developers around the forums and thought that he deserved it. In the OP I said that he maybe hadn't filled out an application, and he probably has not and doesn't care.
I was just posting because I thought he deserved the sign of respect.

I'm quite sure this is the deal.
He'd been developing for the OG EVO for a long time here on XDA as well. He knows he's a great Dev, the community knows he's a great Dev, and that's really all that matters. He obviously doesn't care about titles and I respect him for that.
I always wondered about those. Seems like a lot of well know themers\devs do not have recegnized developer or themer. I would love to know how they choose.
There is only one benifit to having that title. Being able to lock and close your own threads. That's it. Other than that its just words. Everyone knows Calk is extremely talented and that's all that really matters. So I don't blame him for not worring about it. I have seen many with that title and Calk deserves it way more then they did. But ah well. If he ever wants it just has to fill out the form.
Who is Calkulin and what does he do?
PS: he saved my Samsung Moment from flying into a brick wall at 50 MPH.

I don't think anyone mentioned him being the desperate. I think that "Hint: If you're desperate for such a title, you don't deserve it. " was meant in general to others who just want to release kanged ROM's and claim all work or demand the dev status right away.

Agreed. That was my first experience with his work and then I used his work on my brother's Evo. Now I use it on this once again. I can' ask for a more dedicated developer. Glad he picked this phone up to dev on.
This is the first time I have used any of his work. He never did anything on my previous phone. But still, from what I've seen he seem like a really cool cat. Respected and rightfully so and never harsh to answer a question. I think it would be nice for him to have the title so he could have more control over his threads and such. But he doesn't need it to get mine or many others respect.

+1 to the comment he doesn't need a title to have my respect.
Calkulin's ROMs were my first experience with anything other than stock rooted. I like his work and think this community would miss him tremendously if he left.
I have run Calkulin's roms on, I believe, 5 devices going back several years. I also used his kitchen to cook my own Windows Mobile roms back in the day.
The man is a legend.
Starting Off, I just wanted to thank everyone again for getting me the T989, I love this Phone & I love everyone at xda for it as well!!!
Now, I can't help but laugh because when I first got this device I seen a ton of posts *****ing about the Rom selection...
We now have:
ICS CM9 Alpha
ICS TW
GB TW
GB CM7
MIUI/CM7 GB ( Coming today )
The Dev, has really picked up as of lately on this device & I can't be more happier than I am now
This thread is mostly pointless, but still I wanted to say thanks to everyone again!
Thank you!!!

I must say, y'all need to thank your skyrocket brothers, for without them you would have nothing
Lock for being pointless.
JK! I must say development has picked up and I've seen much less flame fests and useless posts than I used to.
You have been a huge contributor and without your help we wouldn't have half those roms! Thank you!

Yeah the development is coming along nicely now. All the people who jumped ship for the nexus will be regretting it, very soon. This phone is the best phone I've had hands down, even the stock rom was quite usable. (Which in my experience, is rare.) I also love the fact that everyone is working together now, it's great, everybody wins.
Its nice to see some all these great roms. The hard part is choosing one.

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.

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.
