Just thought there hasn't been an ICS post in the past couple hours so...
THEY HAVEN'T RELEASED ICS OR CM FOR THE T989 OMG!!!
Seriously...you don't even have to search...there are about 4 or 5 ICS posts on the front page...quit wasting our time and just be patient. The forum will blow up with about 100 posts when there actually is news about ICS....
As Reagan said...trust but verify. For all you idiots who find it neccisary to post every ICS scrap you can..
When you read some **** that says the GS2 has/is getting/drivers/etc for ICS, here is a simple step-by-step to determine weather you should post a thread to XDA:
1. Its probably for the international (i9100). We don't give a **** about the internatonal. Just stop reading and go about your business if you even see the word "international". Don't even look at the words if you see a button on the front of the phone on the picture. We don't have a button.
2. our AT&T counterpart is the SKYROCKET (t727). it looks EXACTLY like ours. not the AT&T SGS2 (t777). See 1 on how to deal with news about the AT&T SGS2.
3. If you still think the article has to do with our phone, look for T989. Push ctrl+f (or command+f) and type in t989. If it's not there, don't waste our time.
4. If you find T989 after pushing ctrl+f...read it in context. Most likely its an ad or just confirms you are an idiot for thinking the article meant ICS is coming to the t989.
5. Still hopeful? Repeat 3-4 and search t727.
6. If you are still unsure...repeat steps 1-5.
7. Still think its about the t989?? Just delete your XDA account.
8. Are you just crazy sure that it has to be about the t989?? Check XDA. Somebody will still post ICS threads every hour...
9. I'm sorry if you still think your news is about the t989 after going through all that you should just give up on life now.
10. Don't post anything. Just don't post. Period. Please. Don't. Post.
By following this simple 10-step process, you can determine weather you should post an ICS thread! And maybe it will cut down on ICS posts...I hope this helps you guys...
PS: Sorry if I seem like a troll and actually mislead somebody by my title...just sick of it as everyone else is.
OMGF!! finally!!!
U get thanks bro
BEST POST EVER!!!
U just gut mad respect from me and saved quite a few people their dignity, thanks.
**EDIT

What people misinterpreted about the articlea were that the article mainly mentions international version. Later articles stated that carrier variants would be dependent on the carrier themselves and their own timeline as we'll as other factors. Those factors being that the us has tons of variants using different processors. People sawsgs2 and assumed it meant for us.international did indeed get ics q1 as they said.

Hrrmm slower HW at time of release compared to T959,
Very easy to brick,
S-On/S-off,
No SAMOLED+ display,
Less Internal Storage,
Screen more fragile?
I think that is a good short summary, or at least all the reasons that kept me from going HTC and getting SGS2 when coming from the Vibrant.
As a Vibrant owner I know full well the pain of waiting for Official releases.
So does this mean we are getting it now? I didn't have time to read 2 pages..

Correct. And do to those timelines us carriers probably wont see ICS till probably Q2
People just see the galaxy name and don't realize its a family of devices.
But at the same time, why would samsung support only international, and leave their TOP SELLING DEVICE out?
So to say we wont get it is a little far fetched to say the least

There is a reason for a sticky you know, failure to read a sticky and posting around it is good cause for flaming or an infraction in my opinion.

This is awesome. We should be seeing a lot of ROM's popping up soon guys.

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!

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.

if anything we will get a rom that has no 4g barely any data..camera wont work...just typical stuff

I think it has something to do with at least 10 other threads about the international galaxy s2 getting ICS.
I don't understand why everyone is so negative in this forum. It's almost uncomfortable spending time here sometimes.
bmakk2055 posted a link to information about the Samsung Galaxy S II. Yes, from a technical perspective it's obviously a different piece of hardware, but Samsung has given all of its variations the same name and branding. I think it's reasonable to assume they probably intend to handle them in a similar fashion.
No, he didn't post a concrete release date for our device - but it's useful and relevant data nonetheless. If nothing else, it offers clues as to Samsung's plans for the Galaxy S II brand.
Will you people calm down? OMGWTFBBQ!!!1! He wasted a thread!!! THIS COULD MOVE AN OLD THREAD TO THE *GASP* SECOND PAGE!!!!! Is there a finite amount of potential threads or something? Is XDA's server about to run out of disc space? This is a discussion board... not some strictly maintained community encyclopedia. We have stickies for that.
Anyway, I apologize for the wall of text. Thanks for the link bmakk2055. I'm glad you posted it.

There's some devices on that list that im sure only like 25 people are using..why is ours left out?? what gives!
Im sure its all because they don't have the drivers for ICS for our device, but why not CM7?

Well at least it isn't a useless post that doesn't confirm anything...saw this on my g+ a little while ago. Good to have confirmation I guess...but almost embarrassing that they had so many people pester them they had to release a special statement about the t989
Shameful...
So basically if you HAVE to have cm9 sell this phone now and save yourself the trouble. Too bad there is no other better phones for Tmobile to get.

I certainly don't approve of that type of behavior but on the other end I can understand why they are upset. We got the ****TIEST end of the galaxy s2 sick by a mile.
No reason to take it out on devs though.

I have to agree. A serious of unfortunate events has made it so that there has been no work done on our device until late March and even at that its in the backburner.

Edit: Sorry for the repost. I was at work headed to a meeting and saw this right before, so I posted it really quickly. My apologies; I'm sure you were all so offended.
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.....

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.
Really?100's of threads about how ics ISN'T available on t989...yet your asking for best one? There's a search bar for a reason.

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.

Not really. I browsed the T989 forum for a whole of 5 minutes and realized there are no ICS builds.
5 whole minutes? slow internet connection?

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.
