Develop Bugs

Same phone or different?

I live in Canada, things are always messed up and confusing--Justin Bieber, Shoveling snow in the summer, igloos and especially cell phones. I am not too fimiliar with the SII family, but I just want to know, if this phone is the same phone as Samsung Galaxy S II X T989D. If there is a difference, is there a difference in terms of rooting, s-off and etc? Please help me out. Thanks a million!

There is no difference. The phone is identical except that that is the telus variant.

Yep the specs are all the same and I believe all of the T989 ROMs you see are available to flash for yours, just locked to a Canadian carrier instead

Just don't flash any radios. Probably meaning no ics for you yet.

Telus is getting ICS June 12, does this mean that the T989 will in a sense be getting it to? (Please say it is so! )

Do i747 roms work on the t999?

I want to try miui from the i747 cuz the one for the t999 is buggy....
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

The att (I747) MIUI is made by the same guy as the tmobile version.. So whatever problems you're having might be present in that build as well.. personally I've had no problems with it.. But also the newest att MIUI won't work for tmobile..
Other than that, I've seen others in here flash att stuff and be fine.. Just don't flash modems from any other version but your own. Some have said not to flash other versions kernels either.
I've personally flashed att roms and it turned out fine. Just.. Be careful with it..
On a side note, someone in the att forums has made an auto porting script, for making any rom (mostly between the us gs3's) compatible with your version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32555463
if you feel confident in that, you could try that as well
Hope that helped at least a little bit..

Yes, they should work just fine.

Can somebody post roms that they are running with their t999 from the i747 thanks.

Ariel is a good one, And it's like one of the first roms you'll see in the att dev section..just go browse there and after reading those threads you'll quickly find out if it's safe for your device

[Q] Questions about Telus 4G Samsung Galaxy S II™ X..

Hi all,
I'm going to buy a Telus 4G Samsung Galaxy S II™ X, However, I have some question:
1. Can I unlock the bootloader and install any ROM?
2. What is the latest official firmware? Is Samsung going to issue a JB?
3. How is the battery life?
4. Any advice
Thank you in advance

1. Yes
2. Telus has released 4.0.3 I believe. JB is supposed to be official for this phone.
3. It's ok, maybe gets through the work day, depending on usage.
4. If you do flash a ROM make sure it's for the t989 and not the international s2.
Enjoy.

Thank you very much.

Only thing I have to add is that the Koodo ROM floating around here doesn't work well with Telus as it has the Koodo AP baked into it by default. I'm loving CM 10.0.0 on this phone.

I'm on Telus and the Koodo ROM is amazing. You just have to manually add the APN (settings are listed in the thread).
CM10 is great too but TW ROMs have better call quality and battery life in my experience.
With Koodo V5 I typically do 2-2.5 hours of screen time, 1 hour of voice calling daily and I'm still over 20% when I plug it in at night.

the official android release is 4.0.4 now thats what I had when I purchased my SGH-T989D from Koodo. Telus and Koodo are practically the same I think?

Hey guys.
I'm also planning on buying the T989D. Could someone confirm that on the T989D we can flash any roms for T989 (t-mobile) ?
Can't wait to join the T989 community.
Thanks a lot.

Yes you can flash any t989 rom. I've only ever used Telus radio tho.

Awesome. Thanks. But what do you mean about Telus radio ? Thks.

Oh maybe you mean you didn't flash other radios that may be provided with the rom ?

You can also flash anything from the skyrocket forum.. I haven't had mixed results with their roms but they still shouldn't brick ur phone.. It's pretty much the same phone but theirs is LTE

I've never personally tried to flash any roms that weren't made for the t989.....not sure why someone would want to...since there are tonnes of roms made for our device.
If you're new to the phone....I'd stick with t989 roms for now.
The telslu radio is the t989dtlle4.

Yeah I'll stick to T989 roms to be on the safe side. It's gonna take time to try them all out anyway

[Q] Make AT&T Galaxy S3 act and look like Galaxy S4

I am saving towards a Galaxy S4, but in the meantime, I was wondering if there is a Rom that can make my S3 look and feel like a S4?
Thank you!

If you're talking about the features like eye tracking and finger hovering over and stuff like that then no. Its nearly impossible to port those things since its completely different hardware and TouchWiz is closed source. There is a couple of ROMs that have multi-window and other goodies but not like the S4. You can search and look around for a modified S4 launcher and theme to make it look like one. But that's as close as you'll get.

The only thing you can do is wait for Samsung to release the 4.2.2 update.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yes, to answer your original question. There is a way to make it look like the S4.
Hyperdrive [XDA Link] - It has a few of the widgets that the S4 has as seen in the screenshots. Other than that, I would say hold off for official updates on the S3.

Only issue is the i747 and i747M seem to be the forgotten models when it comes to updates. I just read that the Verizon model just received the 4.1.2 update, and quite recently Sprint and T-Mobile received it. Also, the i9300 just got the 4.2.2 update. Meanwhile, the most used S3 (i747/i747M) hasn't received anything, nor have there been any news or hints regarding updates.

BS... ATT themselves don't have 4.1.2
they probably do but its unreleased.
Lol if you do please PLEASE provide a system dump and help the devs out. If you do why didn't you say so if every stock TW ROM on xda is only 4.1.1.
If you had it wouldn't you of noticed every single ATT S3 out there was different from yours? .... Sorry and apologize for the language but its straight BS
And here is the direct link to an ATT s3 that only ships with 4.1

My AT&T SGH-i747 only came with 4.1.1. (Somehow, I thought I had 4.1.2; but, apparently I was wrong.)
I was also searching for ways to upgrade the software to make it more S4-like. If I must wait, then I must wait. But I really enjoy tinkering with it.
Until recently, I had AOKP Android 4.2.2 on it, but an update (9-10-2013) caused my phone, messaging, and several other apps to disappear.
So now, I'm back to the original factory, unlocked, unrooted, stock Android 4.1.1.
It wants to do an AT&T update, but I don't know what the update is. So, I haven't approved it yet. I want to go back to AOKP, but I can't find the file I used with ODIN to root it the first time.

If you are going to AOKP, I think you just need to flash a recovery, i.e. CWM or TWRP and flash the rom of your choice.

flash rom to 4.1.2

As long as you're not rooted the built in OTA updater in the Settings should update you to 4.1.2. I recommend CF Auto Root and pwncakes' Quantum rom (4.3) if you like AOSP, if not, Hyperdrive is easily the most complete TW rom.

Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 SPH-L10

I know this dosent have anything to do with the Virgin Mobile but in some ways it may.
It has been posted in android forums about being able to flash CM10.1 to the virgin mobile Galaxy S3 SPH-L10
suppose to have the same hardware as the sprint version can anyone confirm this Plesae I would love all the features to work. there is a stock
odin modem and also a stock flashable kernel too in the android forums in the section all things root virgin mobile Galaxy s3.
It would be awesome Devs would give this phone some love Thank You devs and guys. ps some one there also stated the had sucess with
the sprint cm10 rom:laugh:

This should be in the q&a section I believe. But if the Virgin mobile version of the s3 is exactly the same as ours, you should be able to flash any rom as long as you have your APNs correct
