Should be the EXACT same as the EL29 leak we got a while ago.

Do you use el29 as a daily modem qbking? whats your daily rom/modem/kernal?

Thank you so much...Just curious...apart from it making us running the official latest software from SrintSung, is there anything else that it will help with, say regarding development...I also see a thread about samsung releasing 29 code..You don't have to answer ..just trying to understand...

Good because the last modem was trash for me.

Amazing ...I just spent the last 3 hours,testing all of the,modems and EL26 still performed the best. I guess I will give 29 one more shot. My last 26 test...

How does ek02 compare to el26? A lot of people are saying ek02 is the best right now. Perhaps el26 has worse effect on battery life?

I figured it was going public once the source was posted.

[Video] CyanogenMod 9 - SGII demoed

Pretty nice, cant wait for epic 4g touch variant.
Wow, that looks slick.
Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

Here's my take on this. You want to know where to find out when ICS drops for this device within minutes of it happening or Samsung/T mobile/Telus announcing it? XDA will know within minutes. You aren't going to find a better source than this forum. The guy working in a call center didn't know sh#t compared to this community. I'm willing to bet there are a good amount of software developers from any companies with the info that are active XDA users. When they have the ability to release the info our a new leak is found, we'll know in short time.

True that! FF18 got old real fast I had to roll back to EL29. Breaks my heart that Jelly Bean has been released and we are still struggling to get a solid ICS update I did read reports thought in in android 5 google is considering an update model similar to windows and to bypass carriers and allow the pushing of updates directly to device. This should solve our fragmentation issue but who knows...

All software always has bugs, by the time we even get FF18, Samsung would have had over a month to whip up a patch.
The only thing that really bothers me is the scrolling. It's horrible.
Okay negative nancy, now you're just inviting crummy luck to come our way. lol

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now
Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.
