It won't come to the SGH-T989 unless there is a maintainer that steps forward to help manage it. I'm considering picking this phone up or the 4G Amaze. I haven't decided. If I pick this one up, I'll work on deving and porting CM9 for it and work on being a maintainer. But alas, this comes down to my contract on my Vibrant lol

It is coming to this phone. Cyanogen has this phone personally, and has stated it will be supported.

and yet we don't even have an alpha? while other lesser phones have it already

I';m guessing we might get a ICS by summer because a lot of people have skyrockets.

Cyanogenmod said its "in the oven" for skyrocket and 989 but well behind the other devices they are working on. Mainly due to their build computers getting upgraded. They said a couple weeks and they will be back full speed. Full speed on our devices? Maybe not yet but its coming eventually.

You guys are sure in a hurry for s broken os no ics works perfectly except for the galaxy nexus and nexus s. Which still have major bugs why google put updates on hold. All other devices still have major or bugs. All you guys do here is cry that older devices have it before our device. The longer time you have to develop and work with something. The farther the development team has already have gone.
CM team doesn't not want to be responsible for you not being able to call 911 incase of emergency. Guess what the alpha cm7. People can't hear each other. Unless you have gps on. Which doesn't work all the time. That's a really big major issue. Don't you think?
I mean you can learn how to develop and make your own cm7. But oh wait good luck with that because Qualcomm have their hardware data sheets closed off to the general public. That means even cm team doesn't have access to them. They are waiting for samsung because these are proprietary driver which means even samsung has to wait on Qualcomm.
If you go get a new device you will. Have to wait till source code is released regardless. For the new processors. What's that you will be waiting again for cm yep. While older devices will be running CM9? Yes that's right! Unless source is released.

It was from creeping Google+ if you want to work your way over to the skyrocket side of the forum there's a thread by me talking about it.

Ya know, what bugs me is that the HP Touchpad has CM9. And it wasn't even an Android device to begin with. I mean, come on.
Happily sticking with Darkside 2.5.1 until the official Samsung ICS release.

I don't think that is correct information. The Galaxy S has issues because it was brought over with very little testing, fixes have been pushed to it.
The GNexus is no longer considered a Google device because of the issues with Verizon. It will no longer get updates from Google, only the carrier. Any bugs that have yet to be fixed already will get a update some day. Thats why all the GNexus people are frustrated with Verizon.
GNexus has already been sent to the FCC for approval for Sprint and that one will be the official Google phone.

I believe you are partially correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as it is right now there are two versions of the Nexus: CDMA(Verizon) and GSM. So yes, the Verizon version is no longer supported, but the GSM one still is. That would mean the Sprint version and the GSM version are Google phones.

Google drops full cdma support so sprint and verizion are no longer supported. They will still be updated but anyone with a cdma nexus. No longer has google support the device tree was removed. You can look this up. Galaxy S is closely related to the nexus s. Hardware wise with data sheets released on humming bird processor.

What sbrissen released is very very pre-alpha. What is linked above is a wholly different developer and ROM.

The more devs working on a CM9 port the better IMO.
Way to go Bubby! I see he's actually reaching out to the dev who released the alpha version of CM9 today. Collaboration between the two might allow us to see a better release. Can't wait!

bubby also tried reaching out to me as well, wanted to beta test it for me. amazing on how hes stayed quiet these past few weeks hiding and avoiding everyone. yet now that someone put out a cm9 build here he is again.
idk why its taking him so long to release it.. didnt he claim to have a fully working cm9 ages ago on ustream and was gunna release it on the 15th?
This is going to come out sounding derogatory and flame-ish, so remember that I have acknowledged that after reading my following comment, and that it is only meant to be a criticism.
If I were a developer that had any aspirations of building a version of CM 9 that would eventually become officially supported by CM, I would be weary of enlisting Bubbys help. Not because of any prior history (as some of you are probably putting in my mouth right now), but simply because of his work.
Does bubby have a working build of CM7? Sort of. Is it on the right path to CM compliance? I don't think so, no. What he has right now is something that looks and smells like CM, but is mostly held together by hacks, code that doesn't belong to this phone, and various other kangs.
Bubby appears to be the kind of developer focused only on what the user sees, which I suppose is an attribute applicable in certain use cases; in the interest of being accepted into the CM community, however, I do not believe Bubby follows the guidelines or practices required to attain such a goal. Judging by what he has released so far, he is building something that looks and acts like Cyanogenmod, but isn't actually Cyanogenmod.
To put it in simpler terms:
Bubby -is to- Real Developer
as
Script Kiddie -is to- Real Hacker
The end results from each can appear to be the same, but when given a closer look they're very different.

This is the comment I was afraid of.
I am not one of those "you people" you speak of, and I shouldn't be, because I was in no way personally hurt or burned by Bubby. I have nothing against the kid.
Please re-read my comment, do some research on what it takes to properly build CM, then take a closer look at Bubby's work.
EDIT: not to mention my post was completely on-topic, considering this thread was started with a screenshot of Bubbys tweet mentioning he was reaching out to a dev.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
bubby is a glory hound. he hasn't been heard of ina few weeks, sbrissen releases a cm9 build, and all of a sudden he wants to help. Just likehe wanted to "help" with cm7, when he took everyone's work and pawned it off as his own. Why do people think he is such a good developer? /rant
Y'all need to quit stirring up all this old drama:
Bubby's builds have worked just fine for me, and if it comes down to me waiting around for the guys at CM to deem what time it is when they finally decide to release an official build, or flashing something that works as described right now, well, I'm gonna flash what's available now.
Bubby just offered to provide all those fixes for this Alpha, and was turned down, I guess because of some stupid pride issue: Some people need to get over themselves, and put this together as a team, or guess what's next:
The build that DOES work will be released at Root wiki instead of XDA (again), just like CM7 was....
Is that what you all want?
(I don't really mind, because I have no problem with Bubby or Rootzwiki, I just thought it'd be nice to see XDA have it here instead of there, but maybe it's just me.)

By default android recognizes long-presses. Even if they aren't assigned.
So the KeyTracker app might pop up a value to edit if you long-press back...or so I'd hope.
I guess that would be great if I liked Cyanogen's work ...

They have to keep fixing stuff because..... they're nightlies. Do you not understand the definition of what a nightly is? For stable releases you want RC1/2/3/stable builds which is not yet available for CM10.
These people are developing for the ROM for FREE. There is no price tag. Unless you want to give them full-time salaries to make the ROM stable for over 20+ devices at the same time.... don't complain.
It's a nightly and is generated from CM source on a daily basis (which at this rate... official CM10 nightlies aren't even out... it is "kanged" from the jelly bean tree)
maybe he meant cyanogen as a team or something? Doesn't really matter as he's not required to like CM. I haven't used CM in over two years, are you going to crucify me? He's asking if a feature is available outside of CM, try to stay on topic.

He said "Cyanogen's work".... in standard english, that is pointing towards Cyanogen personally. Otherwise it would of been worded differently.
I never said he's required to "like" CM but no matter what ROM you're using, those ROMs will be using some code from CyanogenMod in some way or some how.
No one is in a position to bash or dislike CyanogenMod because they truly care about the Android community. They maintain over 20+ devices and provide updates to previous generation phones whereas manufacturers of their phone won't even bother to update.
Many phones don't even have ICS.... you know what? CM provides ICS. Many phones don't even have JB yet... you know what? CM provides JB.
Hating or disliking it CyanogenMod is like disliking a non-profit organization helping the world. In the end, they have good goals and make the community go into a certain direction that most users appreciate.
You don't have to like it, but don't blatantly say that you don't like their work. If he wants that feature, then pick a ROM and suggest it to the OP to include it. It's that simple. Jelly Bean is still new. Many features aren't in in the ROMs. It will come as time progresses.
But please don't say that you don't like someones work and then talk about it being buggy because they release NEW nightlies when in fact official CM10 nightlies aren't even starting. This is all being kanged from CM10 source by third-party group/individuals.
Unless you're a developer, you are not in a position to criticize a developer's work.

How is CM9 not fully functional? I've used it for a long time before JB and it is functional with speed--this also takes into account of CM9 for OTHER PHONES. Galaxy Nexus is not the only phone that CM9/10 supports. They're still maintaining CM7 as well. Let's see you maintain a ROM for 20+ devices based off code on Android 2.3.X, Android 4.0.X, 4.1.X.

Woo-Howdy.
Normally I'd complain. But the three face-palms might have been worth it.
CyanogenMod is THE rom to beat as far as stability goes.
It always has been.
Don't think they're pushing out "feaures" fast enough on CM9/10? That's because they're busy under the hood.
Tuning and tweaking every minute little inconsistency.
As far as "broken" features: I never saw any. And again, those are nightlies.
The build-bot builds them automatically. Half-merged patches ARE a possibility as the other pieces may be being worked on or awaiting approval.
Is CM my preferred Rom?
No. But I respect what the team has done for Android.
Who knows. Without the big-boss stepping up: We might not be where we are today.

Cyanogenmod is FREE and made by a team of developers out of passion. If you don't like it, don't whine about it -- go compile your own rom instead of embarrassing yourself to the community by acting like an ungrateful entitled noob.
So everyone has to like CM cause it's developed with passion and cause you guys like it?

Brain storming on how to attract more developers to develop for our phone.

Let me start by saying that I believe we have some of the best developers working on our device. These guys work tireless nights to my sure we have the best ROM for our phones. My question do you guys feel we have enough developers developing for our phone? If not what can we do as a community to attract more developers especially the developers that work on the AOSP Roms. Even though touch wiz is great it does have it limitations. I heard that google wallet is working on some of the cyanogenmod builds. The Galaxy S3 a pethera of developers. Just saying. :angel:
To get more Devs you need a more popular phone. The Note II size isn't for everyone. The SIII has been promoted like crazy and is still pushed hard by Samsung and carriers.
I don't see hardly any advertisement for the GNII. This plus the price tag being around the $300 range doesn't put it at the top of most people lists. Hopefully more will be coming on board soon.

I suspect what we need is to teach rise of us who have the phone how to develop for it. I know I have tried but without help I am not getting very far. I suspect we have a larger number of users here who are capable and interested in doing this than other phones.

Most of my friends want the phone but are currently in between upgrades. Some of my friends wasted there upgrade on the epic touch 4g and now have to wait 2 years to upgrade. I was think creating a funded to help a proven developer to get a Galaxy Note 2 preferable a developer who ported the cyanogenmod to the Galaxy S3. That phone is very similar to our phone so it be a matter of time before the developer figures it out and ports it to our phones. What do you guys think? The problem with our phone it is so new. So we are still in the infancy stages of development.

It's a fantastic phone and people I know love it. But they also tend to buy the GSIII over the Note. The GSIII has been around longer and holiday sales will make even more fly off the shelves.
I'm just saying that not as many people have the Sprint device, that's why the development isn't jumping like crazy. Typically the most popular phones are Flagship phones. Sprints advertising of this phone has been non existent. I've never even seen it shown on their home pages before, that's all I'm saying.

You don't watch much TV then. I see the Lebron James Note 2 ad ALL the time. I see it more than all the S3 ads combined these days.
Granted, it's not a Sprint ad, but is is a Note 2 ad. Plus it was a pretty good idea to use him, since his hands make the Note 2 look small

I suspect what we need is to teach rise of us who have the phone how to develop for it. I know I have tried but without help I am not getting very far. I suspect we have a larger number of users here who are capable and interested in doing this than other phones.

I like this idea. I would love to develop for it but I would need help getting started. I just have one little problem and that is there isn't much I wish to change. I don't have any desire for extra battery nor do I wish to make the phone faster. Sure I modded a few things but this is by far the best device I have had out of the box.
No disrespect to the great developers we have on this site but this is one of the few phones that I actually don't need any development for. It's perfect right out the box, if you're a touchwiz person.
Won't the S-Pen only work on Tw architecture? Why would you put an AOSP ROM on it?

American Music Awards Goes Paperless, Uses Galaxy Note II to Announce Winners
I was thinking the same thing. Don't get me wrong, JellyBomb is an awesome rom but coming from nothing but HTC phones, I'm used to very active development with lots of variety. My girl buys nothing but Galaxy phones and I've always rooted and flashed roms to her phones and I've always seen the Galaxy forums jumpin. The only thing I can think of that this phone has working against it, is its size....it's obviously not for everyone. It's unfortunate because the size grows on you and spec-wise, this phone has unbelievable potential. It's still a baby though...Lets see what happens
I was trying to advise to many people to but the galaxy note 2 international version. Always the international version of a phone has more development but nooooo....everyone called me crazy lol and now they will official release 4.1.2 for xmas I am happy with my choice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app......If I helped you please press the thanks button
On past "similar" devices flashing other roms was as simple as flashing a kernel/modem/build prop package for ones device
Has anyone looked into this?

^^ We could still get the ports if there were more devs around for this phone willing to put the time & effort in. The phones are pretty much the same across the board. All the international themes work on our phones. It's still too early *twiddles thumbs*

For those wanting to learn, here is a great place to start with a ton of links: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=322
And honestly as someone (slowly) working on my own rom, this community so far has been, let's call it uninspiring. People bad mouth roms all over the place because it's themed.
If you like stock, then why did you flash it? Is Not a secret that is themed.
And the users over here from what I have seen have been very demanding and don't appreciate much. People aren't using the search function and ask stuff that had been answered. Nobody knows everything, but it helps a lot if you read the threads and do a Google search before asking questions.
End rant. This phone will get more devs, just give it time. Or if you want someone specific, donate to help them get the phone.

Most Twiz ROMs are already up to MA7, and are either testing or waiting for another firmware update before putting more effort in.
Believe me. LJC to MA7 may seem minor... But Samsung completely changed where and how thing on the ui end worked in a substantial pita way... and the thought of having to re invent the wheel yet again is not a pleasant one.

It's mostly cuz of the 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 android core changes, and preparing TW for it's update. It'll make the OTA from the current TW to the new TW more reliable with less issues.

I like to break stuff!
i know the asop roms are updated nightly.. i meant theme wise concept wise etc seems like sprint phones dont have as many options as some of the other carriers or could just be the note 2 .. s3 had tons and most of the evo's i had

makes sense and i can imagine how hard it is dont think i could ever make my own
I think you might see alot of different ROMs for other devices, due to the number of devices the manufacturer makes. Like when I had an Evo and Evo3D. Devs were porting any new update, or new features from other multiple HTC devices.
The thing is, we have a device that is King of the Hill for now. Made by a manufacturer,that doesn't make a ton of different devices for every carrier. HTC and other manufacturers are starting to follow suit. Making one or two big devices across all carriers. Instead of numerous different models on all different carriers.

I don't know about others but I've been on whomp rom and it's so stable, fast, and energy efficient and just about every feature/mod I need. Variety is great but if there's a rom that does everything I need and is super stable I see no need to change..
the only thing I'm waiting for is a fix for samsung for the lock screen and then key lime pie..

Meh, this phone has plenty enough of options for roms. I personally dont like too many roms that are pre themed, would rather theme it myself to my own liking... thus the beauty of android

My thoughts were it could be that sprints LTE network isn't going as smooth as predicted. And with if tmobile meets their LTE target and has 200 cities covered by the end of year. I know I was looking into making a switch. When I had the epic 4G. A popular dev on that side left. Because his service sucked so much. I don't know if its a factor for every dev. I'm sure each has made that decision for what works best in there area. But I can't imagine a slow network attracting the most devs.
Yeah but seeing some of the other numbers from the other three that 400kbps on lte. Looks like sprint will be in trouble.

Basically the same here. Using Whomp along with Morphology (thanks to Mack for the port) there isn't much else a rom could do for me until KLP comes out. At this point (and I'm NOT trying to take away from anyone's current work) most *new* roms are just re-skins of the same work that we already have access to.
Ummm I may be a little partial an didn't wanna say anything cuz I'm doing some of the work. . But since nobody mentioned us.. the labrats rom is getting fairly themed. Half dozen color options or so.. more added daily or weekly. .
The guys leave it stock tweaked so its not themed from the start.
Just my half a cent

I think that it all depends on what your looking for. If you want the best of both worlds as far as customization, functionality and performance I would suggest MacksROM. As of lately its been the rom of choice for me.

Verizon HTC One First With Android 4.3 Update

http://www.sidhtech.com/news/verizon-htc-one-android-43-update-att-sprint-tmobile/10017607/
One of the best devices on the market which runs Android is the HTC One. One of the biggest competitors is the Samsung Galaxy S4 and this recently got an update OTA to take away the lags.
So how good is the HTC One? People want to know if the handset will get Key Lime Pie, which is said to be coming out this year. Android 4.3 has come out and there has been a great deal of interest in it. The HTC One is to be the only Android device from HTC to be getting the update.
We have heard a tip from the source at HTC before and he has been correct.
The source told us that the Jelly Bean 4.3 update is now with the carriers in the US, just weeks before the HTC One got Android 4.3. So it looks like the US carriers could have had the update for quite some time.
So it must mean that the HTC One T-Mobile version could be getting the update to Jelly bean 4.3 around August or September. However we would not be surprised if the update arrived at AT&T and Sprint in the summer too.
If Verizon have Jelly Bean 4.3 then they could be the first to launch it alongside the handset, as at the moment they do not offer it.

This reinforces the notion that carriers strategically release or withold updates to try to get more sales at the expense of the consumer. It would be nice if Sprint drops 4.3 within a month, but its likely unlikely.

How did that junk article reinforce that notion?.... It just said the update is supposedly with carriers...that's it.
The only time something is held ever is when a new device is about to launch, and even still that is an extreme rarity. What people don't typically realize is when carriers get the update it takes typically 3weeks to test and approve said update. 4-6weeks if its an OS upgrade too and not just a patch. They have to test and send back to HTC then test again...process takes time.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
It's just that Sprint is still sitting on the 4.2 update and now 4.3 and Key Lime Pie is around the corner shortly thereafter. Looking at the big picture, it is plausible that the release cycle is delayed to boost sales. There should be a new flagship phone sometime next year in the first half, possibly launching with Key Lime Pie. Then these 4.2 and 4.3 delays add up only to satisfy users wanting updates to get close to launch date.

Is it me, or is it always the US carriers "testing" these updates for months and months? We are a nation of lies and greed so it doesn't surprise me honestly

The dev edition has been confirmed to be skipping 4.2.2 because it is a "minor update."
I think what Google did is it gave out the 4.3 source to OEMs like Samsung and HTC before it announced it. So, HTC (and therefore, the carriers) has had 4.3 ready for a while. We may be seeing the 4.3 update soon.

The proof is in the... Tweet.
And I am actually excited that we're skipping 4.2.2 because a few people were reporting certain issues, and if HTC thinks that 4.2.2 was a minor update, then I can't wait to see what 4.3 will bring.
The way I read that article is that Verizon may be the first to offer the one with 4.3 out of the box, not the first to offer 4.3.

While I hope any update news is true, its all hearsay at this point.
There are so many grammatical errors in there I wouldn't trust it. Also stop saying carriers have the updates. No one has ever come out and said the carriers have 4.2.2 and yet everyone assumes they held onto it in the comments. With the way the Verizon HTC One is realsing with 4.2.2 it is almost painfully obvious HTC and Verizon had some sort of deal.

I don't think you understand what the word "business" means in the real world. Companies could care less whether the consumers receive the update in a timely fashion. If it were both cost-effective and a good move business-wise, updates would be cranked out as fast as possible. But it's not. So they don't.
Jason Mackenzie is answering A LOT of questions on twitter today... Allegedly he wants 4.3 on the dev edition by the end of September if not earlier.
This is great if true. I don't mind waiting for 4.3 because there are a lot of apps that are incompatible with it right now, like HBO GO. I have 4.3 on my Nexus7 and sometimes I wish it was on 4.2.2 so that all my apps are working like they are on my One.
