What's the best ROMs right now? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

As far as stability and performance. Just picked one up today coming from a My Touch Slide 4G and I plan on rooting soon as I get home lol.
Just wanted to get some ideas on what I should try out.

Lazy man's way? Go into the development thread then click the stats link to sort by replies. Then start at the top

Juggernaut but just wait until they update the gb roms since some maintenance update came out recently.

Have anything in mind? I currently don't have a PC so it may be a little while until I can work on something but let me know kinda what your looking for color wise and when I'm able to get another PC I'll see what I can come up with for you.

Oh thanks so much. Just mainly would like something with a mixture of pink and purple. Like status bar with pink icons but notifications may be purple. Nothing specific, anything really
I am going to be trying to put something together this week. ive had a few people ask me to do a pink theme and a purple one. I might just use your idea and kill 2 birds with one stone and mix them together. I will see what i can put together.

I wonder why they waited all the way until ICS was released to open source HC.
I had Cm7 running for a couple days, can you say butter! It was so nice to have a ROM like that. And the themes was a bonus. It only needs a little more work in my opinion.

CM7 brings back bad memories for this community. People keep asking about it like twice a week too.
Bubby and that who what when where why. Guy apparently ripped people off and that was about the end of CM7 on the E4GT. CM9 took focus and CM10 is dividing it a little now.

I believe the source is still there. Not sure how hard it would be but with GB source being available for this phone if someone wanted they could compile it. I'm sure it would get some love. There is always people out there that like to run older builds for fun. Hell I saw cupcake being built for one phone. Can't remember which but I thought it would be pretty cool to try it.

PGM2 for SGS3 (POLL)

Hey everyone
so i have been in contact with the dev of PGM2.. he makes a kernel mod that allows you to swipe to turn off/on screen etc instead of using buttons
heres the link to his thread for the nexus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721895
i essentially was talking to him to see if he would be willing to make us an app for our sgs3 devices... as i personally hate using buttons for fear of them breaking or wearing out on me... so i wanted to do this poll to see who would be interested in this kind of thing...
the dev needs to gauge interest to see if people would even want it to make it work his time...
please people, make sure to vote and voice your opinions as i would LOVE to have this ported over from the nexus
thanks!!
Come on people. Vote it up! Vote yes! Lol

I believe ktoonsez's kernel has this feature in the ktweaker settings if you want it that bad. A bit if a battery drain though
ya i know, but honestly its not as developed as the pgm2 one is... and to be honest, the KT one barely works... had KT installed and it never worked for me.. ive now moved to leankernel

Yea. I didn't figure it out too. Then I finally found out that you swipe across the screen to make it work. And I don't see YOU developing something to fix this, give thanks for what you have.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I dont have to develope anything. There is someone that is willing to port an already existing app to our devices. Don't have to be rude. I'm saying that the one in the kernel currently isn't developed to its full potential... a little competition didn't hurt anyone...
Sent from my A510 using Tapatalk 2
Personally, I like swiping the screen to take a screenshot, rather than locking the phone. Though perhaps this swipe could be from the bottom to top.. that would be quite interesting.

I would so compile if I had my laptop
They made it far easier than actually cooking a ROM.
Using CM as a base and only adding a couple text lines is the most genius idea ever.
Not only that but apart from reaching out to the 95% of regular users they have reached out to root users as well

Well, a quick update. I have a build. But I did something wrong, somewhere.
The zip's flash with no problem (TWRP), but it just keeps booting into recovery. Maybe I'll try CWM for ****s and giggles. But if it doesn't work, I'm just going to drop the project and someone else can pick it up. Gotta get back to my college work.
By the by there's a forum section in devices for android ports of touch ubuntu
