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.

quit exaggerating; this is only the 23rd thread this week asking that question, and, after all, it is wednesday already.....

I can guarantee you wont see it till about 2-3 weeks after the Galaxy Nexus launches for Sprint. It is rumored that will be on April 15th as we know Sprint is releasing a new phone or 3 on that day and has yet to disclose what they will be. The reason for this being the Nexus will be the only stock ICS phone available through Sprint. Need to get a few weeks of sales in before they release the OTA ICS for all other slotted phones. It's marketing 101

Your E4GT called and said there is a nice iPhone waiting for you... Swap phones and go to tipb.com... then you can upgrade to 5.1 not 4.0.4

I guess you did not get the direction of the thread...LOL Nobody wanted to hear the truth and if they did there are at least 50 threads they could check but thx for that great rightup.... j/k keep up the good work

Um.. wouldn't the fact that bugs exist want you to have it tested MORE, not less? Dang, there's the programmer in me again in thinking you should only release a quality product that is as bug free as possible... especially since I don't want to have to spend the rest of my life "firefighting" (support mode squashing bugs)
:facepalm
While I'm at it, I'll give you the programmer's response:
When it's ready. These things take time, you know.
...No, I don't really care about your deadline, I'm not going to support releasing a product with a lot of known bugs!

I have the worst new for you all. Sprint's still on FF18!

Flaky bugginess and all.

True that! FF18 got old real fast I had to roll back to EL29. Breaks my heart that Jelly Bean has been released and we are still struggling to get a solid ICS update I did read reports thought in in android 5 google is considering an update model similar to windows and to bypass carriers and allow the pushing of updates directly to device. This should solve our fragmentation issue but who knows...

All software always has bugs, by the time we even get FF18, Samsung would have had over a month to whip up a patch.
The only thing that really bothers me is the scrolling. It's horrible.

Okay negative nancy, now you're just inviting crummy luck to come our way. lol

Who cares about Touchwiz, it's all about AOSP

Your thread title fail(s)... :good:

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

[Q] roms?

Seems like the Att version already has a clean ROM, and touch recovery.
Wondering why the sprint versions a little behind

Maybe we need to step up if no one else will. I wish I knew what I was doing more... I am doing the newbie guide in my spare time.. who knows, in another ten years we might have a rom.

I've got the Canadian version, and other than bloat apps and some carrier settings are they not the same phones for the most part? I might be talking out of my ass here, but should the devs not have too much trouble porting a custom Rom from one variant to the others.
Also, it really hasn't even been two weeks since the phone hit the market and it is already unlocked. I am making the assumption that all the variants will be getting some custom Rom love pretty soon. I'm sure it takes a bit of time.

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

some things can be ported (like themes), but some of the apps are hardware specific and probably wouldn't work on our phone.

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
