Develop Bugs

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.

...i know. hence the issue, if it were out for tmob im sure most of would have already eaten it up.

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.

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

Where did that ics port thread go?
I know we had one in here but I can't seem to find it? Did it not go well?

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

at least he tried. we lack super devs that some other devices have but I hate seeing someone get flamed for trying to do something when people flamming just sit on xda and leach peoples work with no appreciation and troll around just making some of these threads a horrid place.

Could this thread be deleted. How does complaining about others add to the forum.

Do not flash the new ICS Leak!

Do NOT flash new ICS Leak, you will brick. We have had one hard-brick/hardware issue (don't know which one). I repeat do not flash. I myself encountered 8 soft bricks.

Anyone with a confirmed working flash out there?

I don't see why not. We have basically the same hardware. But you should probably wait for confirmation from someone else preferably over in the sr section.

yup do not flash a few bricks already, even wiped formatted all partitions and removed sd and sim. this will not flash to our phone without fuqing up

as a rogers person myself id also love to know if the cwm zip would work as almost all other att roms function on the i727r

will this be ready by tonight. so i can stay up and wait lol. sorry for asking

everyone should wait until a dev work on a stable and workable release with instructions before jumping the gun. I don't want to see a bunch of "tried to flash ics, now bricked" threads lol

Wait not all sr roms work with your phone? Why not? Every rom should. But if there is a difference between your phones, i suggest holding out. I am not sure if your phone shares the same compatibility like how ours and telus are the same. But anyways, you guys should definitely wait before jumping the gun.

Ooh really lol i swear i read someone odining a stock tmobile rom on their Telus, and was like wtf is all this bloat lol. Oh wells btw. It sounds like once they get a cwm flashable zip It should be universal. So it would be a couple hours. Pretty sure these devs don't run on t3 lines at home lol

This is the first phone in 6 years that I've run out of things to flash...a good thing anyone else got that trouble?

Erm.. Flash AOKP and you won't ever be bothered to switch ROMs.

Some of the devs have nightlies, so no, i haven't had that issue! Always something new with a/multiple new feature/features. Plus with theme manager and the amount of roms supporting it, i can go straight on performance and then easily pick my theme.

When you guys flash new ROMs like crazy are you just counting on TI to restore it all quickly? Seems like everyone warns about TI restoring system settings yet people flash roms like crazy.

? I just use my nandroids. The only time I use titanium is for specific apps to carry over.restoring system settings can be problematic

Learn how to start building your own roms. Why use a rom someone else made?

I thought a phone in the Nexus series was meant for flashing ROMs and stuff?

I'd like to flash Provision, but I don't believe there is support for the i515, yet. I've been wanting to try Liquid Smooth, but AOKP just suites me perfectly...I'm scared to make the switch.

Flash cm nighters, almost every night.

no, it was meant to provide clean android experience without skins and bloatware, and ease of rooting and unlocking bootloader for those who care about it
there's nothing wrong with flashing, but flashing several ROMs daily is kind of stupid, people end up not using their phone as a smartphone, instead it becomes just another toy

Nope, as a "developer phone", it's meant for developers to have a stable and clean platform on which to base and write their apps for

Liquid is basically the same as AOKP feature wise with a few more and the ability to choose between the notification power widget and the AOKP toggles

[Q] Question about flashing international ROMs

Forgive me if this is a silly topic but I’m very anxious to find an answer. I’m interested in flashing an international ROM to my At&t SGS3 specifically Foxhound (I love Foxhound). Of course I know that the international versions of the SGS3 are different than the American version. But Im curious if there is currently a way to flash them safely anyway. For example with the SGS2 I know that using hell raiser allowed safe flashing of international ROMs. Thanks in advanced guys.

Do not flash it unless you want a brick. Currently there is no way of hell raising anything.

Thanks for the tip.

Sup everyone

I'm new to the gs3 just moved on from the HTC sensation. I have a question. Can we use the same roms from the international gs3 on this one? Sorry if this has been asked just couldn't find it

Only flash ROMs made for the specific carrier. If you flash an international ROM onto a T-Mobile galaxy s3, your phone will be hard bricked and the only way to unbrick it is to get it JTAG'd, which can cost around 60$.

U can't flash any of the international version roms, but the stateside variants are flashable..
sent from GS3 disguised as a GNote2

most ATT roms should be directly compatible with little effort for our tmo GS3. However, do not flash an ATT modems, that will brick your phone for sure.
I also recommend you use TWRP, seems to be less issues with it. good luck and welcome

I suggest you stick to flashing only what you find in this forum. At least until you have had time to get used to your new device. You will run into quite a few conflicting reports on what does or doesn't work well with this phone. Give it time and you will figure out for yourself which are right and which are wrong.
We have plenty of roms and a number of ports from the other carriers so it really shouldn't be necessary to go flashing anything from somewhere else.
Use the other forums for reference, ideas, and learning more about your phone. If you find a mod or app you want to try, just ask if your not confident about it.
Good luck and welcome!
Oh, just fyi, the reports about the i9300 and i9305, are correct! Do NOT flash any roms or mods built for those! Guaranteed Brick!!
