Should I wait for TMobile? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

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.

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.

ICS Source Code has been released!

This is awesome. We should be seeing a lot of ROM's popping up soon guys.
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-source-code-now-being-pushed-git-servers
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!
I'd be happy with an AOSP kernel.

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.

we will not get an ics rom any time soon and we are better off hoping cm9 will be available to our phone
if anything we will get a rom that has no 4g barely any data..camera wont work...just typical stuff
Well out of 60 devices I sure would hope ours would be supported...

[Q] Don't kill me for this question please!

I don't own this phone, but I'm considering it. I have not read through the forums at all. With that said, here's my question: Is anyone working on cyanogenmod 7 for this phone? If so, links? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it
I don't think CM7 will be available for this phone anytime. hopefully there well be a version of CM9 in a few months based off of ICS. I could be wrong though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
It'll prob be a couple months, the ICS source code being available sooner than expected helps, and I believe one of the devs on the CM team just got an epic touch to work on, but these things take time. I'd say its gonna be a few months.

lol there's one in every crowd. The phone is an incredible piece of hardware, no doubt. If I had my choice though I would have gone with the International or ATT version. Not to downplay any of our dedicated and super talented devs but there are simply far more devs working on the other versions. More dev support means more toys and tweaks to play with.
I KILL YOU!!!!! sent from my fav puppet Achmed :-D lol sry i had too
but I did see a rather large post of a dev from CM getting the phone, I wouldn't expect anything till the new year, maybe by Christmas if lucky.

Ics! Cm7! Cm9! Omfg!

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

What people misinterpreted about the articlea were that the article mainly mentions international version.

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..

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

Ok my wife is Done with her GN

Her phone will not stay connected on a call for more than 5 minutes at a time. It constantly goes into Airplane mode, and she randomly has data drops.
I've put her on AOKP 4, Liquid smooth & Android Rev HD 3.0, with Stock & Franco #2 milestone. NOTHING WORKS.
It sucks because I have no problems with mine, other than a bit of lag here and there (which may have been fixed with the Trinity Kernel).
So shes done. Already up and purchased an HTC one S. I really want her to stay in the GN but I think its just left a bad taste in her mouth.
I'm just really trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with her phone.
I haven't tried the newest 4.0.4 that was released a few days ago, but I honestly doubt its gonna do anything. Suggestions???
Stock anybody? All the way stock with ugla4 or uglc1 radio? Trying to force roms perpetually in progress is a bad idea and your desire to force customization on her left her with a bad phone.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
It's probably defective, especially if you've tried the plethora of software options that people are likely to suggest. Careful buying things out of frustration, though, especially things that are brand new to the market. The One S is not immune to QC defects and such. For instace:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...phones-one-day-does-htc-have-qc-problems.html
Get her GNex replaced. Or let her just go with the One S, I'm sure it's a solid phone. There are tradeoffs that she may or may not care about when one decides to use a non-Nexus phone. Just make sure she knows.
Why would you buy your wife a Galaxy Nexus and unlock it? I'm going to assume she's not Android savy or knows what you're doing, but seriously a bad idea just asking for trouble.
Just saying.
Also, that's a hard issue.
Let her keep the One S and keep it Stock. Its a good UX and won't break on her. Personally, I wouldn't recommend a Nexus phone to someone such as your wife.

He may have unlocked it just to try some different solutions to fix or alleviate the problems they were having.
But yeah, I think the more appropriate thing to have done is just take it back and get a new one. You paid for a working phone, don't ever hesitate to keep taking it back until you get one that works as it should!
I have heard that several people with that problem have had their GN replaced and fixed the problem. When I got mine, the verizon rep specifically told
me that if I had that problem to bring it back to get replaced. I think they had a bad batch of phones....

Haha funny kid. Of sammy's market share i said. Yes iknow all xda goes crazy about cyanogenmod and i also think they used to be great but in my opinion this is just a tactic of theirs to get more donations. That is their new motto.

Or maybe you could try and do some reading before you post? No amount of donations will improve this situation. Exynos and the Mali GPU have documentation that rivals that of an IKEA instruction booklet.
You have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh hi there you back from the cave lol? Whatever idc. At the current level that touchwiz is i find cyanogenmod a holdback cuz it misses many features. Couple of years ago when manufacturers' os sucked then yes cyanogenmod was #1 but things have changed now. Probably cave people are 2 years behind and cannot realize it.

Your problem is your farfetched, outlandish assumption that laz is overly full of himself.
However you saying that he think he is so funny" says a bit about your own insecurity/ but more so immaturity.
Especially in his last post there was nothing funny about it, there were facts and opinions..

Hey guys, nothing against ANY of you, but this is that point where everyone should just stop posting lest it get out of hand and we get more locked threads and banned/suspended members.
No one ever leaves these things happy, so just leave it now, please.

It may not affect us now but I'm sure in the future all of samsung's devices will contain their exynos chips.
I'm curious if it would affect the next nexus, seeing that is supposed to be a developer phone I don't think it would but I'm guessing Samsung is making the next one

Yes the above post is overflowing with factual statements. You probably think Codeworkx is soliciting donations and this is all a ploy right? There is no helping these devices save Samsung stepping up. No amount of money wikl magically document Exynos and the Mali GPU.
And my bad, I forgot that calling someone a caveman isn't an immature attempt to be funny.. but then again it's hard for me to argue with all of the facts about soliciting donations!
I'll take Doc's advice and let you two have your little conspiracy theory.

Dude you should learn to accept different opinions otherwise life gets boring. There is no need u to become cyankgenmod's lawyer because they do not need one. The facts regard my first post and you like it or not that is the truth. Sammy sold 20 million units of this device. Go to the international forum of the s3 and lets say you find 2000 users on that forum. Now do the math, how many percent of the overall share are these users? And that is what i am telling you even if theh stop supporting the galaxy still sammy does not get hurt at all. I said cyanogenmod was great two years ago when the android os was not so developed but now they lack ots of features. And i can give you many examples of what features they lack. Camera?svoice?smart stay? Etc etc. What are your arguments other than attacking me and not the points i make? I do not use most of those features sammy included this time but still that can make somebody think well maybe this cyanogenmod is getting lil bit behind. That is not an attack to cyanogenmod cuz i currently am using codename rom and it is great but for most part of those 20million gs3 owners cyanogenmod is not seen as u see it=god.

Man. I really hope cyanogen or his team don't come and read this thread.. They've put in a hell of a lot of work for this device, they deserve nothing but thanks, we can't forget all of the great work that has stemmed from their work either... Smh

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them
