Chimera ROM?!? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I don't know a whole lot about this ROM or team passion, but I thought maybe starting a thread about it we could all learn a little / keep track of updates and progress. From what I've heard, they haven't built anything using our newly acquired source, but those who have ran what they have so far seem to love it.. What you guys think?

Thanks for the share gotta check this out

Its bad azz! but suffers from the same low call volume has iisues with wifi and I noticed my phone was getting hot also.
Other then that its a beautiful rom.

This install method is awesome but not all of the features worked for me... also a lot of ppl have reported that it doesn't boot ... I think the solution to this is u have to come from a 4.0.4 rom ...

I've tired flashing chimera atleast 10 times and I've never. Gotten it to work. Not even after countless help from other members, so I just gave up. Lol I heard it's a beast of a rom. Look up "ics passion" group on Facebook. That's their official group and they also have a website. I believe it's team-passion dot com but I don't really quite remember lol

If you are coming from a tw ics rom it most likely will fail. I flashed it from stock ics and it failed 4 times i then flashed a cm9 and the directly flashed this and it booted fine. I heard the dev say this as well
Also when u are installing in the beginning in aroma installer u can choose custom install and u can pick radios.
I was only getting signal with Kid radio

Trying it out now but rotation is backwards. Just disabled auto rotate now I'll check out the rest. Flashed over latest aokp not cm9 so that probably caused it.
While I appreciate the extra work making it with aroma, I really wish they didn't force their radio choices on you. I was doing just fine with my radio.

Using root explorer you can push your choice of kernel or radio in its respective places just looked in it to fix auto rotate you'd need to take libakm.so from cm 9 and push it to system/libs.

Can we flash ics skyrocket roms?

Seems to me the development in the skyrocket forum is ahead of ours. Can we flash skyrocket ics rooms without modification from the skyrocket forum or do we have to wait until the t989 devs hack it to work. Also what must be modified to get the skyrocket ics roms to boot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
All of your questions can be answered in the development thread.
Edit: why are you asking here? According to your sig you've already got a sky rocket...Why not head to the appropriate forum?

The reason that mods like this are not popular is the same reason that we do not have CWM Touch and TWRP2. Our touch drivers in recovery are "off" and possibly need to be recalibrated. They hardly even work at all along tthe edges.

Use the super wipe and then let rom sit for 10 minutes after boot up. And for apps I recommend apex launcher for more of an aosp feel also grab the HD YouTube here on xda just search u will find it
If you want stability and speed, battery that goes, camera, wifi,
goldfinger NexusMod3 and RaverX3X BlackEdition are rock solid... you can flash a modem that you like, just make sure to delete the system folder within the .zip.

Been using ICS perfection for a few weeks now. Haven't noticed any bugs at all besides face unlock not working right, but honestly I've used it on my tablet, it doesn't recognize me half the time and just kinda annoys me in the end. So yeah, ICS perfection makes a wonderful daily driver, just use a Bluetooth headset otherwise the person on the other end will hear themselves echo like crazy
I've tested all, and nexusmod is by far the best one. Android stock keyboard works flawlessly. Apps don't crash, wiimote connects with no issues, battery is pretty good. Feels and looks like aosp. Aosp lock screen...etc. nexusmod will be my rom till a working aosp rom comes out for our phone.

I agree with this 100%..I am on the newest version of nexusmod and it is by far the best ics port out there.for my Telus version S2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Yes nexusmod is really good and stable. Its the best ics rom I've used so far and I've tested all ics roms. Vibration works perfectly the only downside with most ucld2 leak is the fix permission and reboot shutdown issue, which isn't bad you can just download quick boot from market. Ics perfection was okay but it lacks vibration and notification light up. Sky ics is nit bad either. But I prefer nexusmod

We do appreciate the hard work developers contribute to our Hercules community. Other users preference is not a weakness.
I'm up for it. This seems to be the one rom that my phone works the best with and battery life is fantastic. I've tried several ICS roms and while I really like certain things about them, for whatever reason, they don't always play nice on my phone.
