[Q] What is going to change on 5/14 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

That is the day we're scheduled for an OTA update to ICS right?
I wonder how is that going to change ROM development here? Will we suddenly have new tools that we don't have today?
What will improve on the existing ICS ROMS and AOKP and AOSP ROMS?
In other words should I wait a few days to update my GB ROM to and ICS ROM?
thanks.

If they dont release source code it wont change a whole lot. They may be able to pull a few things and make the builds cleaner. The big thing is when source code is released, then its time for some big changes.

Is it a given that source code will be released at some time?

Yeah in a couple months hopefully lol.but yeah not much will change at all

Except for all the current ICS builds becoming 100% stable, there probably won't be too much "more" happening.

That is CM7, not the ICS version. Also doesn't answer what other devs will bring.
there are unofficial ports that are being worked on
but official from source might be CM9
unless some one here beats them to it
Let met me just look into my magic crystal ball, it should tell me which developer will be the first to release ice cream sandwich
You should totally expect us to be able to answer this question for you. We know when it will be released, but we would rather not tell you
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I dunno, you may be right. I know the CM team is actively working on it, that's more than I can say for any of the devs here. I mean, I could start to expect it from Team Kang but they've been a little silent on the issue.
I don't believe we have anyone that can just use the source to make it work on the T989 though. I believe everyone will need to use a base from somewhere else. I think we'll see it pretty soon after another device does.
I don't know anything though, this is just what my foolish brain tells me.
Someone is definitely working on an unofficial port
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It will come with patience, obviously.
you can expect many developers to want to start making a ROM based on it, since it its the newest version of Android

Sooooooo frustrating that no one has ics yet for our phone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Like others have already said, nobody knows for sure. Though it's very likely that cm9 will be the first ics rom available on our devices. There aren't a lot of devs that build from source, and if they do, they usually use cm as their base. Not saying there aren't talented people here...that's just what I've seen.
I took a crack at compiling from source, but with 3 kids and a fulltime job, my time is limited. There's a lot that needs to be done...

[Q] why there are NO AOSP or CyanogenMod for the ET4G?

just curious because im jumping to Sprint with the ET4G next week and i've always been using AOSP roms and CM specially.so what gives,how come no CM7 for ET4G?
so i've been out of XDA for a while so please fill me in.thanks
Because you haven't developed any yet. Get cracking!

ICS sourced dropped like a week ago, the device has been out for a couple months
The biggest problem is that there is no aosp kernel right now that works. So once we have that there is a better chance at getting aosp roms.

Well there's supposedly a build of CM7 Kang that works quite well on the SGSIIE4GT with some mod work. It was also sent to one of our main devs, Viper boy, and I'm pretty sure he and his team are ripping that thing apart line by line to make it work the best it can. They like to release finished products and they literally just got it yesterday... so.. idk hopefully soon!!!

Just curious, will it help once the Nexus-S 4G gets the official ICS Android 4.0 update from Google + Sprint, can any of that code be used to help make a ICS ROM for our E4T ?
Don't both phones share the same CDMA radios, and some similar Samsung hardware ?

Hold up: Who exactly did you "clarify" that with? I'm only curious because I was the one who sent that kanged Rom to Viperboy, and it was MOST DEFINITELY NOT an ICS Rom when I sent him the link to my Dropbox. When, exactly, did it morph from a tired CM7 build into an ICS ROM?
Am I now known as an "underground smuggler" of ICS ROMs??

Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

I'm pretty sure that this is because Samsung hasn't released 4.0.4 kernel source for the T989. Otherwise, I am sure Faux would have been all over it.
The reason there are no custom 4.0.4 is source has not been released. Until it is, everything will be stock based.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I posted a question about the kernel being built from source and the camera failing, I have yet to receive a response in both Rootz and XDA. Also when contacting Samsung they said they could not help. I know it is something that I am missing and the source is not the newest version, but I do not know what to look for. I have been looking at the Galaxy Tab and Skyrocket custom kernel sources.
Wow still nothing...i think we have the only phone that doesn't have a current custom kernel...maybe this is the end? Although there are over 10 roms...very strange

Yeah, tons of themed roms and unofficial nightly builds, no 4.04 kernels for stock, keeps me on darkside evolution. Seems our only hope is faux and he's super busy
I loved Evolution as well, but TDJ left before finishing up v4 forcing me to opt for Darthstalker. Having GV and bluetooth issue, but stick with it for now till something good turns up.
I have great experience with jedi rom. Try that.

What do people want?

I have the lgog and im done playing with it. Question is what do you guys want? Ill list a few of my ideas and you guys comment and add ideas.
1. Cm10.1- obvious(it is being worked on so no need to comment)
2. Cm9 im in air on this one. Its ics which we have but we should get jb very very soon.
3. Latest stock pimped out with aroma. If many dont know about aroma roms, its basically a customizable rom that lets you build your own version with tons and tons of options. I will of course be adding many many many addons to the current list.
4. Skinny revisted.
5. Insert idea from you guys.

The thing I want most is CM 10.1. Now, my question is what about LTE? I know it was a massive effort to get wimax working with cm7/9 on the evo/evo 3d. If LTE won't be working then my next choice is a slimmed down stock rom with performance/battery mods, lightly themed. And a nice kernel to go with it

I obviously have no clue about any of this, but shouldn't you be able to take the gpu drivers from the nexus 4 since it's the same hardware? I would think that the camera and lte would be the biggest issues.

Omg joker!! I won an s3 yesterday and decided to trade it for an optimus g instead. So happy and I did! Only because you are here! You did great with the photon I'm sure you will do fantastic with this. I just hope its not as closed as the photon was.
