That's actually an amazing idea I like that. I didn't download or install it but if I were on like a stock rom that would be amazing to choose from all those features. Jk3 has most of the features already tho
If I helped in any way hit thanks!!

the real question is....
is it Safe?! for our T989

According to Droid-Life, as long as you are rooted and have a custom recovery it will work on any phone. Haven't tested it out myself yet.

[Q] Skyrocket Roms

I believe I read somewhere that we can install roms from ATT's Skyrocket on the TMO GSII. Is that right? If so, would the latest RC for CyanogenMod work?

Cm9 GitHub

Guys I found this on one of the Cyanogenmod member's GitHub. He is adding lot of comments to his GithHub about Samsung Skyrocket. Check the link below, if anyone could make more sense of this then please explain. ( It looks like Alpha cm9 but I could be wrong )
1. https://github.com/darchstar
2. https://github.com/darchstar/cm_devi...sung_skyrocket
Is this compileable?

Pretty sure he has more than 1 phone. He has the GS2 and the G2 which has CM9 already. But he likes this phone more so he is ecstatic about getting CM9 on it.

Lol, no, the T989 is my primary phone, but I still have my HTC G2 as well, and that has "unofficial" CM9 running on it. Would be great to have it on this phone, as it's really difficult switching back to such a small screen when I want to enjoy some MIUI, AOKP, CM9, AOSP ICS, etc...
But I still love that little phone with a physical keyboard, dammit
EDIT: Just thought about calling the G2 little. I remember when I thought it was the perfect phone size. Now, I can't imagine ever going back to that size screen for primary every day use, lol!

Chimera ROM?!?

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?

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.

[Q] Best JB Rom? opinion based.

Well guys, I know there isn't a lot of stable JB roms out there.
But based on YOUR opinion and experience which ones are the best? It could be AOSP.
Actually most of them I've tried have been pretty stable. I'm on paradroid right now and everything is smooth.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2
Sprints official jb port is by far the best one.

4+ hours of screen time with lean kernel
I personally have been using Deviant Dev FrostyJB_4.1.1-v6. It is really fast but not has fast as Wicked ICS v7 Rom. But I just love the Frosty Jelly bean the only problem I am having now is that whenever I restart my phone it switches the default keyboard back to stock and not swiftkey 3.
i've been jumping around from CM10 nightlies, PA 2.23/2.51/2.52, and Liquid Smooth RC7... trying to find a good battery.
out of the 3, i like CM10 the most, so i'll probably go back to CM10 nightlies, if not CM10 M2.
My fav have been so far Frostys and Paranoid Android, Im currently using the Sprint Jellybean release which seems to be to basic compared to those mentioned.
Latest cm10 nightly for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
does CM10 have a lut of bugs? or its a every day ROM?

Don't really run cm10 mods too many bugs but that's good to know. And for some reason anytime I flashed a cm or aokp aosp rom my phone would get super hot with Normal use, but not with tw roms. Weird.

Probably a test build for someone and it wasn't good so they removed. And just a friendly heads up, I wouldn't do that again unless you are very comfortable with what you're doing, or don't mind spending the cash to fix it afterwards. Patience is your friend
