I was at Lifehacker the other day and there was a post about someones homescreen. Turns out the person was on a Galaxy S and running CM9. That just seems wrong to me.
Cyanogenmod seems to list the Galaxy SII without distinguishing between the models. I realize that the Hercules is different from other flavors of SGII.
Is Hercules the only odd model or are other SGII users left out in the cold?
What enables someone who has an Galaxy I to run CM9 and not us?
Thanks for walking me through it.

It all has to do with having proprietary drivers which for that source is needed. CM9 is based on ICS and since we don't yet have an official release of ICS for the T989 we don't have CM9

Thanks for the search tip; I've searched for CM9 in our threads but I still don't get it. What are we and cyanogen waiting for and who is responsible for producing it?
As I'm sure you know we have a skyrocket (T989) version of ICS out there but that isn't what we need. We need... an official release? These proprietary drivers have to come from T-Mobile? Thanks for being more specific.

XDA devs and Cyanogen are waiting for ICS to drop. Samsung and carriers are responsible for the hold up. Samsung could release source so devs could build a proper kernel and rom but carriers are obsessed with bloating OTA's,which is why we have to wait. Skyrocket's ICS is not from source rather a leak. From my understanding, its a leak precompiled rom that can be manipulated in ways but are limited in others (the details for that I am unsure).

In most cases this is right but doesn't necessarily need to happen. Look at the g2x..... They will most likely never get ics from lg and cm arcee compiled a just about stable ics rom that is beautiful and works great. And thats with tegra being closed source to so drivers had to be a pain also. So we could see nightlys soon who knows we have no clue they could come out this week for all we know
I am sitting with a Skyrocket CM7 rom that isn't quite finished and isn't ever going to be finished just because I can't stand anything but...
CM9 will come...its only a matter of time, many talented people are working on ICS.

Yeah, I doubt that CM7 will ever be released in more than alpha. The CM team decided to go straight to CM9 with this device which means they will not do CM7 and it doesnt seem like anyone outside of CM team would bother since nobody has up til now and I am pretty sure the chances of a proper CM7 build will only go down when CM9 is released. All you can do is hold tight.
Ya this was pretty cruel. Thought it was gonna say it was up and running ugh.

Sorry if this has been covered. But I can't seem to find a straight answer.
I know the ATT skyrocket has a leak, and the 9100 has an official ICS. Has Samsung come out and said publicly that we'd eventually see an official ICS build? I know Cyanogenmod 9 will eventually be supported, but I was just wondering what kind of timeline we're looking at.
I recently ordered a T989 (in the mail) and I'm coming from a mytouch 4G running ICS pretty stable.
Again, sorry if this was answered before... I'm just new to the T989 forums.
Thanks!

I'm sure with the 989 having a different processor, it has a different set of challenges for the developers. But there are some awesome developers here, who have made incredible progress, especially considering they don't even have an official 989 rom to work with. I have tried most of the roms currently out, and I would recommend the Vanillarocket... seems to be the most stable for me.

...maybe i am just a silly newb, but for as open source as android is suppose to be, this fragmentation doesnt make any sense.
AOSP should be all it takes, but the manufactures hold things like kernels over our heads, wont release the updates until they crapify the release with there version of a "OMGROZORS" launcher.

Agreed, but more than that it's the carriers who make things so difficult to get updates pushed out. They'd rather make you upgrade to a newer device to get the newest OS and features, so holding the updates hostage makes sense to them

Can we flash the CM9 nightly builds on the SGH-T989 that are posted in the SGH-I777 forums? When you go to the cyanogenmod website, the rom is classified under "galaxy s2," and I didn't see specifics. Anyone done this?
Just picked up this device and I was hoping to get CM9 running.

In order to get CM9 working on our phones, the drivers for our processor would be needed anyway. And due to the large list of GSII devices, I doubt that CM9 will be out for our phone any time soon.

i know when my friend had the HD2 there were nuances that allowed for the flashing of ROMS that had been developed for the EVO but were compatible with t-mobile's version (HD2). I was not sure if those exceptions existed with this device so thank you for your answer.

i see. i did find on the cyanogen blogs the info about there being a potential CM9 in the works but no solid information just yet as they were open to searching for devs to assist them in the process.
Sorry if this is a retarded question, but since Samsung dropped the 4.0 source for our phone, and JB 4.1 source code was released, does this mean that people can start compiling fully functional Jelly Bean roms for the epic 4g touch?
If so, is anyone working on one?
You've got it wrong. The samsung source that was released is ICS kernel source. That doesn't really mean much for jelly bean.
There is work being done to try to port it nonetheless.

I thought that you can run roms on older kernels...for example, CM9 is currently running on a GB kernel. Since 4.0 and 4.1 don't have as big of a coding jump, couldn't you run 4.1 on a 4.0 kernel?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
the first couple of ICS ALPHA builds i think was running a hacked together GB kernel, then when the first leaks of ICS drop for our phones thats when the devs started using the pre build kernels that came in the leak ROMs. ICS and JB still uses a 3.0 kernel so from the source that was release devs can make JB ROMs for our phone from it, thats what CM devs have been doing to get preview builds of JB/CM10 on some phones. anyone can correct me if am wrong because am still learning about these stuff lol....but i think thats it.
well team hacksung just released a preview of JB for the international gs2. So that means that they are making progress on it and it must'nt be all that much of a change from cm9 to cm10. as JB has been out for what, almost a month now. and some people are getting cm10 previews, alphas and betas. so it must not be that big of a change in kernels. Of course i could be completely wrong in all of this, just IMO. well probably have cm10 sooner than we all think. our devs are awesome.

+1 Well there is a difference of radios but I also dont understand how minor differences can make it so difficult to port from. You would think with the exception of radios & different key mapping that the architecture of both phones are exact, but then again I'm not a dev so there's probably some factor in there I'm missing.

The screen size is a minor difference. But, cdma and GSM radio is the big issue when it comes to porting anything from the international to us. At least that's the impression I get from the many threads I read.

Ive been wrong before. i was wrong 3 times before lunch. im just speculating. whenever we get it is good for me. its ready when its ready.
Lets not forget half of our AOSP Developers do not even have this phone or acquired/reacquired the phone after the fact and do not have service on the device. Darchstar is no longer with Sprint and bought another E4GT with donations. Chris41G does not have the phone at all apparently.
I just got a sgs2.. and well the aosp game is kinda ridiculous on this device... props to the devs who's provided the options they were able to on this device but where are the rest of the roms at?
expect to see some more aosp comin from me here in the next month or so
EDIT
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS I MEANT NO DISRESPECT AT ALL.. I EVEN CREDITED THE DEVS WGO BROUGHT SOME GREAT ROMS TO THIS DEVICE.. I just want people to know I'm here to bring more to the table.. I'm guessing there is a major hurdle to overcome to bring aosp to this device since I'm not seeing a lot of it.. but I'm up for the task.. and I'll simply let my work speak for itself..
If you have an issue bring it to my attention but please dont harass me for stating that I wanna contribute to this device.. I don't want a bad rep at all and I hope you all will enjoy the work I produce
Only complaint on AOSP roms is that data speeds don't seem to be up to par compared to stock Touchwiz. Hopefully once Samsung releases the latest ICS source things get better since FI03 fixed the slow 4g speeds that haunted previous ICS builds.

Everyones different though, just for me I tried them all (ran AOSP roms for the last 3-4 months), 3g seems a lot better on Twizz especially at work where it's a very low signal area. And 4g is no contest between the two.
So since my post mysteriously vanished... I'll sum it up for those that missed it.

I dont release half of my roms because I focus more on one but show me a sprint device with more recent aosp than us besides the flagships that are basically included in aosp to begin with. think sprint will let you exchange your device for one with a community you can respect for a few months til you're ready. Maybe including some aosp options will provide somewhat a better understanding of ur purpose for this thread.
