you asked when it would be available. it is available.
theres not one out that's usable on an everyday level, and don't expect one for a couple weeks. gingerbread came out less than a week ago, and the code wasn't released till friday.

It alreasdy has. Check out the dev section. r2DoesInc, preludedrew, and myself are working on it. The first two have running build ATM

Very delicate
builds are in motion as you made this thread, it takes some time yo. you can't just come on here and demand things to be done and making threads that probably 20 other ppl have made today....not bashing but reading and searching helps

I agree with everyone who has said this so far.
Evervolv and OMGB are actually pretty good ROMs right now; the *only* thing I'd complain about is that they get really, really hot during NORMAL usage (20 minutes of Internet browsing will jack your internal temperature up past 100 degrees). But, they're very fast and, oddly (given the heat issue), pretty good on battery life. Only real issues are GPS & camera but those will get hammered out probably before New Year's, if not soon after.
And of course, whenever the N1 gets the 2.3 OTA update, everyone will be in the Gingerbread business. So I'd just sit back, relax, and try some of the current GB ROMs, if only to prepare yourself for the awesomeness that will be the polished products of 2010/2011. XD

People always forget that the DEV's have a fulltime job, families, a life away from the internet, etc., etc. Most importantly, most Devs do this for FUN. When people post **** like this it starts to feel like work, or ungratefulness, which does NOT translate to FUN. When there is no more fun in it good luck finding any Dev to get things out you want. *shrug* Food for thought.

No I meant from Google+HTC + sprint not our devs! Try to comprehend next time before you go on the defensive! There has never been any Rom that was fully functional until it was actually released on the phone.... but hey research and correct me.

there are plenty of people on this site that have no common sense, and more that do, but to post something and be a little vague about it doesn't help unless you specify for all to understand, we all should know by now that only a Sense rom is fully technically fully functional, close's AOSP comes is CM, minus 4g and hdmi, but that should be fixed in due time, right.

But @op, since we still don't have the source, it's going to be a bit hard to get a fully functional AOSP build.
Can't we request Samsung release the GPL'd code though?
i hope we can. since we already have a bootable ics, just has misc. issues... cant we just build off the already done work? i mean its gotta be easier than starting from total scratch.
I Think your gonna need to donate more to get a rom like this 20$ isnt much
That's the point of a bounty thread
well i figure if a 19 year old jobless kid can afford 20$ and EVERYONE wants asop... well, do the numbers.
I will donate to a Pure Vanilla ICS!!!!

Starting Off, I just wanted to thank everyone again for getting me the T989, I love this Phone & I love everyone at xda for it as well!!!
Now, I can't help but laugh because when I first got this device I seen a ton of posts *****ing about the Rom selection...
We now have:
ICS CM9 Alpha
ICS TW
GB TW
GB CM7
MIUI/CM7 GB ( Coming today )
The Dev, has really picked up as of lately on this device & I can't be more happier than I am now
This thread is mostly pointless, but still I wanted to say thanks to everyone again!
Thank you!!!
~Eugene
I must say, y'all need to thank your skyrocket brothers, for without them you would have nothing
Lock for being pointless.
JK! I must say development has picked up and I've seen much less flame fests and useless posts than I used to.
You have been a huge contributor and without your help we wouldn't have half those roms! Thank you!
I gotta say Eugene, I'm pregnant. Don't you dare deny our son his parent! I forgive you.

I'm gonna be mad at you if MIUI ruins my finals week.
But really, it's awesome we have so many great devs on this device
without eugene, we would only have touchwiz roms.

Yeah the development is coming along nicely now. All the people who jumped ship for the nexus will be regretting it, very soon. This phone is the best phone I've had hands down, even the stock rom was quite usable. (Which in my experience, is rare.) I also love the fact that everyone is working together now, it's great, everybody wins.
Its nice to see some all these great roms. The hard part is choosing one.

Yes the above post is overflowing with factual statements. You probably think Codeworkx is soliciting donations and this is all a ploy right? There is no helping these devices save Samsung stepping up. No amount of money wikl magically document Exynos and the Mali GPU.
And my bad, I forgot that calling someone a caveman isn't an immature attempt to be funny.. but then again it's hard for me to argue with all of the facts about soliciting donations!

Dude you should learn to accept different opinions otherwise life gets boring. There is no need u to become cyankgenmod's lawyer because they do not need one. The facts regard my first post and you like it or not that is the truth. Sammy sold 20 million units of this device. Go to the international forum of the s3 and lets say you find 2000 users on that forum. Now do the math, how many percent of the overall share are these users? And that is what i am telling you even if theh stop supporting the galaxy still sammy does not get hurt at all. I said cyanogenmod was great two years ago when the android os was not so developed but now they lack ots of features. And i can give you many examples of what features they lack. Camera?svoice?smart stay? Etc etc. What are your arguments other than attacking me and not the points i make? I do not use most of those features sammy included this time but still that can make somebody think well maybe this cyanogenmod is getting lil bit behind. That is not an attack to cyanogenmod cuz i currently am using codename rom and it is great but for most part of those 20million gs3 owners cyanogenmod is not seen as u see it=god.

Man. I really hope cyanogen or his team don't come and read this thread.. They've put in a hell of a lot of work for this device, they deserve nothing but thanks, we can't forget all of the great work that has stemmed from their work either... Smh

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
