Could someone verify this for me? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I jus thave a question that's been killing me for days. How is there a port of cm9 for the vibrants already? They didn't even get ics yet nor will they get an ota update... so how did they get cm9 I'm so confused!!!

Personally, if I was someone putting in my free time, to figure this out, and working on it, every time someone whines about not having it or asks "WHEN" , I would push it out another month, just because ...

Vibrant is also very similar hardware to Nexus S and I9000. That helps the great vibrant dev community out quite a bit.

Haha true true true. See i wasnt trying to say our devs suck or anything in that nature im just trying to figure how they got ics... by not even getting an ota update. B

wtf??

T-Mobile sgs2 has miui and cyanogenmod... what the ****? Where our roms??
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
All I can say is patience... It is a little dis heartening I will say though because it took the Vibrant nearly a year to get a stable version of CM7 on it.... But Koush is working on the EpTouch so all I can say is its only a matter of time and patience.
Gsm vs cdma with a wimax radio
Stop complaining and start developing if u in a rush.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
Wimax and cdma are both wildcards. Tmobile and att are gsm, so it is a lot easier to port from the international version.

I didnt think the Tmobile version had CM support due to the Tmobile version having a different CPU than the rest of the bunch???
Tmobiles GS2 doesn't have either. They may have device support from those teams but so do we.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I didnt think they did.
AT&T's GS2 has both though. Wtf?!? Lol jk
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
LOL, if we had a DEV from CM that had this as a personal device we would be rockin CM7 already. Being that we dont and all of our CM support is being done in spare time by one CM DEV at a time, it will take longer than usual. Rather than having that ICS ROM bounty we should pitch buy a CM DEV a device for his/her personal phone, lithid for example

i was just thinking...(other than updates) our devolpment section has been kinda quiet...and with the ics source released...that could lead to many things....plus bubby just got his phone. all these are signs that good things are on the horizon...really guys, i think we are about to see some REALLY good stuff,REALLY soon. i mean i dont have any inside info but im looking at team kang....they have been lying low...i have a hunch they have some treats for us like somethin really big...

you know that's what im thinking... but its like when exactly will we get this port. i think devs arnt gonna actively talk about how far they have progressed in the port. because they dont want to get raped about eta's and stuff.
Hopefully before new year
Keep hope alive
thats all we can do as of yet....

Big stuff.
I think superhuge things are around the bend for sure but...There's some pretty big things going on w/ melvin's beast mod rom, & mr x's synergy as well as team kang w/ juggernaut & jugs. These guys are on it no doubt, making sh*t happen. Just want to send some love in that direction.

their actually the guys that im expecting to see major things from. dont get me wrong in very thankful of their already made works but i think their about to blow us away VERY soon.
Dev section quiet? How many roms do you really need? All we are missing at the moment is aosp like cm7/cm9. I came from evo 4g which has roms out the butt and really you only needed a recent sense version and cm7. Every other rom was just clutter and clones.
We just need a TW rom, cm7 aosp rom, and in the somewhat near future cm9. Everything else would just be a clone of some sort or themed. I'm just fine with Juggernaut until aosp comes out honestly. It does exactly what I need it for
I see where you're coming from, for me though with these devs it's kind of like music or art, we don't really need 46 varieties, necessarily, but it's cool to appreciate all the creative stuff people come up with...plus, I think variety & competitveness, to some degree, speeds the progress of evolution in terms of the software sophistication etc.

[Q] Is CM going to be the first Dev with ICS4 for our phone?

Is cm going to be the first dev with
ics for our phone?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

That is CM7, not the ICS version. Also doesn't answer what other devs will bring.
there are unofficial ports that are being worked on
but official from source might be CM9
unless some one here beats them to it
Let met me just look into my magic crystal ball, it should tell me which developer will be the first to release ice cream sandwich
You should totally expect us to be able to answer this question for you. We know when it will be released, but we would rather not tell you
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I dunno, you may be right. I know the CM team is actively working on it, that's more than I can say for any of the devs here. I mean, I could start to expect it from Team Kang but they've been a little silent on the issue.
I don't believe we have anyone that can just use the source to make it work on the T989 though. I believe everyone will need to use a base from somewhere else. I think we'll see it pretty soon after another device does.
I don't know anything though, this is just what my foolish brain tells me.
Someone is definitely working on an unofficial port
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It will come with patience, obviously.
you can expect many developers to want to start making a ROM based on it, since it its the newest version of Android
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Sooooooo frustrating that no one has ics yet for our phone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Like others have already said, nobody knows for sure. Though it's very likely that cm9 will be the first ics rom available on our devices. There aren't a lot of devs that build from source, and if they do, they usually use cm as their base. Not saying there aren't talented people here...that's just what I've seen.
I took a crack at compiling from source, but with 3 kids and a fulltime job, my time is limited. There's a lot that needs to be done...

ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE

Im loving the development work that is going on for our beautiful TMobSGS2, but I'm surprised I havent seen a ICS port yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus images being released.
Is anyone working on this in secret, or are there any other ICS roms that happen to work on our phone?
I would truly just love a rooted stock ICS rom. thats my dream at the moment. I dont know how to improve on ICS except switches in the notification bar, which is easy enough.
I doubt we will have a good working ICS before atleast a month from now. That is if we even get a stable one.
ICS came out two weeks ago on galaxy nexus...if you really want it then buy a galaxy nexus.

Are there going to be any pure ics roms made for galaxy s2. Currently using a vibrant with pure ics running, love pure ics just want a faster phone. Saw recent video running ics on galaxy s2 with no visible changes nothing like nexus. I suppose it its because of touch wiz. Is there a dev working on pure ics like what is on nexus? Trying to figure which phone to get. Thanks for your comments in advance.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
theres gotta be a million people working on a rom for it, the sources are out.
just below your thread is posted about how it's coming officially. If someone doesn't make it stable before the end of q1 [pfffft] at least samsung will have it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402463&page=2
There should be some roms soon. Best you may be able to hope for is a CM based rom. Not pure ICS but pretty close

Well considering all the idiots in this forum... you tell me if it went well -_-
Cause ignorant @ssholes wont shut up and troll on the stupid thread. So Rev probably requested it to be deleted. Honestly non of us in the community should get a developement anymore cause as a community we all should be one... Not a majority being trolls and wont shut up. And have a small lil percent of grateful people. It doesnt matter what hes been doing in the past.. You find lil things just to fraud a dude and you bash him for trying. Thats when its really dissappointing how immature adultls are still out there. MATURE A LIL AND GET AN IDEA WHAT XDA IS ALL ABOUT

OK... So I don't ever want to flash a LGOG ROM again lol

Did anyone see on our AT&T variant forum that they found a way to flash all Nexus 4 partitions, (bootloader, recovery, kernel, and system) to convert your LGOG to a Nexus 4!!! I am so waiting for them to try this out on our device so I can do it and flash N4 ROMs from then on

Just saw that thread. Lol, there's a team working on it for us too but that is insanity at its finest. Looking forward to that in the future!

Someone in that thread said all we would have to do is change the partitions to Sprint and it should work. Which seems weird, but i guess it could work. But their device is the GSM and ours isn't...? So who knows. But I have a feeling xboxfanj will have something for us soon.

Yea I was very tempted to try something lol but I'll hold off, I don't think everybody understands how big this is tho, this opens up the door to so much more with this phone, ROMs, MODs, newer versions of android, etc... This means we'll have the best nexus phone now

I did it before rohan on the sprint variant and it is mostly working, but I don't plan to release it. Flashing all n4 partitions is not a great idea and could brick your phone. Cm is coming. Just waiting on the Korean jb source.

Unless everything works like update PRL/Profile, LTE, reading all 32gb internal sdcard, etc., I wouldn't recommend going the N4 route.
Better to just wait for AOSP based roms once JB source is released.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I would feel guilty releasing this when I know that the repartition could kill your phone. I know the phone has been out and you guys have had to wait awhile, but you've waited this long, why screw your phone up when legitimate cm is close. With korean 3.4 kernel source, we will be able to have cm done fairly quickly. It's not up yet but will be soon. Also, I have some exciting stuff planned for after cm (sense, miui, and whatever else you guys want).
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Hey, xbox, with the source would it be easy to port the Korean version of 4.1 too? I am not knocking CM. I just don't see what you gain.
I only ask because it might be a few months before we get updated from Sprint.
Thanks
