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.

I was wondering..

I have heard that using GLaDOS Control its possible to unlock and lock the bootloader on a Galaxy Nexus. So.. Here's my situation lol I don't have a computer at the moment. I'm going to be ordering a G-Nex shortly and I need root and unlocked bootloader.. I remember some devices (like my old G2 and GS1) you could temp root from the device via an app or terminal emulator commands and downloaded packages and then perm root through more commands in terminal emulator.
Is it possible for such a thing to be possible with the G-Nex? Gain temp root through terminal emulator commands and downloaded files and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader, then download ROM manager and flash CWM, then download the SU and busy box binaries and flash them through CWM, and then enjoy my Nexus?
Or am I just shooting blindly in the dark? I really want CM9 and MIUI and maybe to try AOKP as I've heard so much about it.. But without a computer that seems impossible! :-(

Not sure what GlaDOS Control does, but it certainly cannot unlock or relock the bootloader. Only a connection to a computer can do that.
But yes, you can do everything you want, but I don't understand why?
1) You can root without unlocking the bootloader, see here.
2) But there is no need, as a GNEx comes with an unlockable/relockable bootloader.

Lol my friend, I am looking to do all this without a computer. And according to the developer of the GLaDOS kernel and the app GLaDOS Control, the app has the ability to unlock and re-lock at will.. I've been doing a lot of reading (he posts his Nexus stuff only on the other main android rooting site) and his users have stated the unlocking and re-locking works as intended.. But the app requires root to function.
I don't have a computer at the moment.. But I would very much love to have a way to root without a computer. Do you understand?
*edit* and I did look at the link you provided but it states that you need a computer. I don't want you to think I blindly just responded without first regarding your opinion. And I thank you for even responding.

Well that is sad to hear.. But where there's a will, there's a way right? Hopefully with brainstorming I'll figure something out.
By the way, if you're really sure that it's impossible to unlock and relock the bootloader without a computer, you might wanna go yell at this guy who says he's made it possible..

Much obliged sir! This is exactly what I was talking about.. Now if there were some way to use terminal emulator to gain temp root via an exploit and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader you could theoretically have done it all without a computer. And that would be not only amazing but useful to many people in my situation where access to a computer is incredibly limited and sometimes impossible.

My GNexus wont receive update?

Hi!
I got a galaxy nexus from my boyfriend like 2 months ago and I really didnt used it, i was happy with my iphone, this week I started using it and I liked it more and made it my main phone.
I was reading some forum and it said that the actual version for the GN is JB4.1.1 or at least what most ppl have.. I tryed to check for system updates and it says my phone is up to date. I've tryed a trick that i readed in this forum that if i close some app and use some number to force update it will update, didnt work
About phone shows this:
Model Number: Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: I9250XXLA2
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-gda6252b [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 13 11:35:09 PDT 2012
Build Number: IMM76K.I9250XWLD2
Aparently as i read my phone is from europe, =/ why I have an europe phone if im not there is a mistery
Anyways, I tryed to use search but wow this forum have so much info and is really confused to a person who is really new and not very familiar with android, if someone can tell me at least how to start, will be helpfull
thanks

Well, I think it tells you which version you got in bootloader, but since you got it from Europe, I'm pretty sure it's not yakju or takju
The chances of damaging your phone is really low. It's barely there if you follow his instructions properly. I did this 2 times with no problem (One for myself and one for my friend)
One thing you need to know is that if you don't have the bootloader unlocked, you need to unlock it, which wipes the WHOLE data on your phone and voids your warranty (You can get your warranty back simply by re-locking it.)

Assuming you don't have 4.1 I'm guessing your Vzw. The only way to get it is root, it's really simple and I recommend Jabukabu's method which uses ADB to root.

Need to Reflash Galaxy Nexus

Help Please! I need to reflash my galaxy nexus to jelly bean. It freezes (doesn't reboot) whenever i try to download the system update. I am a total newbe and not technically proficient. If someone could provide step-by-step instructions on how for reflashing the phone with jelly bean that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I am in Canada. My provider is Telus. The problem occurred when my phone received the "install system update" notification (to install the new jellybean software operating system). I went through the prompts and clicked "install and reboot". When the phone powered down and tried to reboot, the phone froze at the "Google" on black screen stage. I then had to take battery out and power up phone. Software did not update - it is still at the 4.0 software and did not get to 4.1 (jellybean). I have spoken to technical support at both Telus and Samsung and they say this is a software problem in the phone and I need to bring it in for manufacturer to repair - but then I would get a loaner phone and be w/o a proper phone for weeks. I want to avoid that if possible if I can somehow fix this on my own - with your help of course.

Because generally speaking, four out of five people are retarded.
Back OT, Telus is a gsm service provider, this guy "could" do stock or just root it, flash clockwork recovery and then flash aokp. Efrants suggestion about stock roms is excellent too. It really comes down to which route this user prefers to take.

well at least you guys jumped right in and helped. and it didnt get answered until my question was answered, you know the one that was "very clear" in either of the two original posts. I guess boredom makes people rude.

I'm a noob, and I've always used the Nexus root toolkit. It really helped me several time, it's easy to use and very well done

Good thing Telus is actually a GSM provider or that might have been bad advice.. SIM presence does not imply GSM - new CDMA devices are rolling with LTE which requires a SIM for network authentication. Toro and toroplus are both in this boat.

I have a toroplus and it doesn't use a Sim card. Also I didn't give anyone advice, I was just asking a question.

I stand corrected on toroplus. But your assumption of a SIM card defining a GSM phone was incorrect, and set the stage for problems if Telus was not a GSM provider.

We are in the galaxy nexus forum. A galaxy nexus gsm uses a Sim card. He didn't ask about another phone.

What Winesnob was saying is that BOTH the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus have SIM cards, so asking if it has a SIM card does not differentiate between the two. (Actually, if I'm not mistaken, I think the Sprint Galaxy Nexus also has a SIM card, but it is enclosed, i.e., no slot.)

you are correct. non-removable sim card for LTE on Sprint.

Wifi calling

Being that this is the first T-mobile phone with "offical" JB. Is there anyone out there who could pull the wifi calling system out of this phone and make a zip or apk file so we can try it on other T-mobile phones running JB roms? Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Second the request - thanks fyremedik! Especially curious if the Wifi Caling app would work on an Int'l GN2

I do not believe this would work...I know that when I was running JB leaks for my Verizon GS3 the Wifi calling showed up as an option but force closed and would not work...pretty sure it is carrier dependent...

It's TOTALLY carrier dependent, as far as I know. However I am a TMo subscriber... on my international HTC Sensation, I installed wifi calling apk that had been yanked from the TMo ROM, with no problems - I hope it'll work when porting from the TMO GN2 to the Int'l one...

You are correct, it is Carrier dependant and its a feature that Tmobile offers. It used to be able to be pulled from roms and installed (not as an apk cause there were more files it needed to work and the apk installation was not possible), however I see this being a problem in its current state. The reason for that is cause now Tmobile has it built in as a feature in the settings of the rom not as an individual app as before.
Developers would pull the app out with necessary files and offer it for porting to other devices and it was there. I have spent hours on this because I would try different Roms on my vibrant and if they didnt have wifi calling i had to find a way to install it (It was always a flashable zip to get wifi calling). Later I started playing around with insalling ics roms on vibrant and tmobile didnt have any phones with ics yet so there was no wifi calling compatible and devs were having a hard time and it just never happened. I then got the galaxy nexus with jb and went for 8 months without wifi calling (I think at some point the ICS version came out).
When Tmo offered the note 2 and with wifi calling i got excited that someone would be able to extract it and i might be able to get it working on nexus...but then i saw how they have integrated it into rom. It wont even show up in titanium backup as an app. Just the wifi calling settings. Im sure some dev will eventually be able to do it..but i see this taking time as it usually is not a priority for devs. I wish I knew enough to work on it

Thanks for the info. I would have no clue where to start. Here's hoping some mad genius gets bored and gives the rest of us a gift.

I'm new to tmobile but does using wifi calling use up your minutes also?

It is supposed to. I am on unlimited calling and text so I don't really know. I want it more for when I am at work and have no signal, I can plug into the wifi and still get calls and messages. I am in love with the JB roms and don't want to go back to ICS just for wifi calling. ( But I do when at work.:crying

It doesn't use up your minutes but you have to ask t mobile to add it to your plan so it doesn't use minutes

Hoping it can be ripped out, so when CM10(11?) hits the NoteII, it can be flashed back on.

It seems very unlikely that will happen as it's not an app anymore but built into ROM.

Yeah, worried about that too.
We'll see how things go.

I flashed the n7105 ROM and I was resorting my titanium backup and saw this

Did you try to restore that in titanium? And if you did, is it working?

I saw the same thing. its not an app to restore, just the settings.. so you cant use that on a different ROM that doesn't have WiFi calling
