[Q] Putting the GS3 Touchwiz on the new ICS-Updated T989? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Can I (and how) put the latest and greatest Touchwiz that's on the GS3 on my Gs2-T989?

Look in the themes and apps section.

Unfortunately, I am on the UVLE1 base - the latest KIES update. I assume this will not work?

That's why I haven't tried it yet. Can anyone shed some light on this?

That would be cool if it is possible, does the the themed versions have all the functionality of the actual touchwiz version? or is it mostly eye candy but not really the same thing?

It will work just fine
I have it right now

cool, I will try it out. I'm kind of sick of the touchwiz UI after using the Transformer TF300. I would really like just vanilla ICS on the device (but I dont think that is possible)

Here i have it working fine.

Google Now for FF18 ICS

I was wondering if there is a way we can pull the apk for google now into our phone after official arrives or will we have to wait for jelly bean? I know they had to do a revamp due to Apple but if there is a chance it would be nice to bring the original apk from jb. I appreciate any thoughts on this.

There's a version floating around here somewhere. It requires some work to install and there are bugs, but it's out there.

Not currently possible without Jellybean for now.

Do the voice part works?

I have used it. It works but voice search will force close.

There is definitely a version for FF18... I have used it. However there is no voice functionality for it, "searching or reponses". I'm sure once they have a good Jelly bean rom if people want now without upgrading it will be available to others.
Here's a link to the thread where you can try out Google Now

You need to be rooted. It's a little buggy, and the voice search doesn't work, but it's fun to try out.

what ROM should i get if i want touchwiz?

i just rooted my phone and i'm ready to install a custom rom, what i basically want is a debloated with touchwiz rom, additional features/options would be better
The one you get after searching lol, but seriously just look in the Dec section not og dev, the other one and then just read. I suggest something of DjIntrigue

Try out FrostyJB, seems to be pretty popular around here
Wicked_V6 is good comes with 2 themes red & blue. Extremely stable, good battery life and when you install it gives options to install some goodies.

FrostyICS. This is the reason why.

Seems like in general if you want good battery life go with a near-stock ICS rom, frosty is a good one but there are several to choose from. I'm currently trying serenity 1.2 LITE right now, it's pretty nice so far but I've only been using it a few hours.
After finally getting rooted yesterday (woohoo!), I flashed Stock sX v3.0. Awesome.

I would try anything from Wildchild. He mods stock ROMs both ICS and JB and they work great. I'm running the Xquizit xD v31(JB) and couldn't be happier. You can find it in the gs3 development forum.
Battery life is good and v 31 comes with all the tools you might need. You can also flash the Kitchen v 10 with it to customize your ROM.

Temporary do to someone stealing his work and it is a downer in general, besides we are on the verge of Official JB. So no point in spending so much time working on a rom that will be rebased and redone all over.

What's your favorite custom rom for the GSIII?

I haven't had a chance to try most of them but so far I like paranoid android 2.52. I was able to get the GS3 stock icons & sounds on it and touchwiz also but I'm using the trebuchet launcher since touchwiz doesn't auto-rotate. I haven't had any problems with it & it runs pretty smooth. What's your favorite rom?
Im using frosty ics its 100% functioning no issues or whatsoever .. its been like 2 weeks im running it ..

I was actually thinking of giving that one a try soon. Do you know if the media hub works on it? I was able to get it working on my paranoid android rom and I was even able to download my free copy of the avengers but I can't watch it since it's locked for some reason so the media hub is pretty useless so far

i use FrostyJB. i usually jump around from ROM to ROM but i find this ROM easy to change toggles, brightness, good battery life and everything just works well and I don't have to worry much about not being able to use my phone for something.
I think I'll try frosty pretty soon. It seems to be a pretty good stable rom. Have any of you tried the serenity rom? It's a port based of the galaxy note II. I haven't flashed it yet but it seems pretty interesting

Have been rolling PA 2.54 for ages, love it. Everything working fine, havent noticed anything thats broken or missing. Big thanks to gokussjx
I gave 2.99 a go but its still quite new so will wait a while before updating permanently and just 'check in' once in a while, so to speak, to see if its been made as stable as 2.54... Am very much lookin forward to being able to use 2.99 as my daily.
Am curious as to the difference between the roms for the GT-I9300 and SGH-T999... Does the T999 have anything the I9300 doesnt?

You should be able to. I don't believe much changed, unlike 4.0.3 vs 4.0.4.

The baked caught my eye when I was looking for a rom to put on my brothers fassy other than the stock asop like gummy and the others that is for the fassy
Do you have signal? Perhaps, it is searching for some files which aren't there, like EpicRIL.
No service on phone right now.[wife won't let me try it on hers she like cm9.1] running wifi had to put sprint on hold right now but with normal cm10 still works fine. Only when I flash the port I made I get the phone thing... this is my first attempt so I think I'm missing something I used cm10 stable and baked build 6 from ns4g and tried the fassy one also.

Her phone I flashed over to Cricket mine I have not activated yet. But i still play with it i tried both modems fc09 and the ns4g modem if it would get rid of the message(process com.android.phone has stopped) it boots but i think im missing something i can send you the file if you want i dont have a host site. So i would have to email. I followed the port guides from here on xda(great help from this site Great DEV).I have done one from the miui fassy to the epic with no fail just to see if i could do it. But i think the 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 might be the problem or I'm missing something

That is a framework/android.policy.jar issue. If you send me it, I can fix it. Its just changing some 1s and 0s about orientation.

(Request) GS4 app ports! (Camera, launcher, etc.)

So I know the phone is now live and we have a system dump from the international version through Sam mobile.
I was wondering what it would take to get the s4 camera and launcher fully working on s3? Is anyone working on it? How far along are you? Need any testing?
If not, how do I port it? I have the files from the camera, no real experience in porting but I'm a fast learner...
Hope we can jump start this thing and get some of the best S4 features on our beloved S3!

It's working on 4'1'2 goodness reborn. You can extract it from the rom. I use it daily. Actually it has a lot of stuff from the gs4 except the look away from the screen to pause video & looking up& down to scroll pages. Everything else is working great. Flash the ROM then the stockish theme & it's just like a stock gs4 on a gs3
