4.1 Jelly bean - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi I was wondering how I could get jelly bean on my phone. I'm with Telus in Canada and they are not expected to get jelly bean for a long time or not at all. I keep seeing people on YouTube with it on their phones so I'm guessing they have a leaked version of it.
Is there a tutorial that someone could direct me too on how to do this? I don't want to wait for my stupid carrier just to tell me they aren't going to get it.

There is no TW JB at the moment. Any of the AOSP JB ROMS should work on the T989D. Be sure to nandroid first, just in case it doest work. Be wary though, AOSP JB ROMs have a random reboot bug. Many have reported going days without them. Up to you if you are willing to live with that.

Hmm I don't know if I want it randomly rebooting. I've dealt with that before and it's annoying. I can wait until something more stable is out.

try muni rom

JB is not yet stable, generally, on the T989.
Certain users are getting stability, but the JB ROM development threads are filling up with reports of random reboots (RR), and sleep of death (SOD). Numerous other camera, music, bluetooth and SD card issues are also common.
AOKP milestone 6 is the best combination of speed, smoothness, stability and battery life..... At least in my experience. And I've flashed a ton of ROMs.

CM10 M2 is quite stable as well. Using it from last 4 days and no RR or SOD's for me.

Ya I guess it's a little early for it. I want to avoid problems. I'll just have to be patient until something stable comes out. I've always wanted a cyanogen rom so I could over clock. Maybe I'll find something else in the mean time.

Give the latest CM10 or AOKP build a shot for a few days. I'm running Dougshell's 10/13 AOKP build and I haven't had a single issue with stability.
Sent from my SGH-T989

Those random reboots have been fixed on the AOKP & CM ROM's, they've been fixed for a while now, i know this because I've been flashing basically all of them. The only issue for some is while recording video you may get a graphical glitch(lines popping up on your screen), but the latest AOKP jellybean have been fine for me.

Are you saying there is not a thing you can do to get RR or SOD just like ICS? What's the longest you ran one build? I don't have time to flash everyday. I need stability that last weeks, possibly months.

Ok ill check around for those. Does anyone know how I can find a backup stock rom for my phone? I want to have one before I start. Of coarse ill do a nand backup of what I have now as well.

AOKP and Cm9 rom random bootloops

So can we now say that both are having the same issue? Reading both threads and it appeared at one time it may be the kernel. Eugene has been doing an amazing job and it seemed like people were putting the blame there, but this can't be since these bootloops have occurred both before and after his kernel. For me I never had one until I flashed his kernel. But I'm thinking that some had them earlier than others and I bet some of us are feeling a little dumb saying, "mine is butter" or "I don't know what you did wrong but mine doesn't do that! " Looks like right now Eugene has possibly found the problem and will soon fix it, because as much as I love this rom, I'm ready to flash another. And doesn't AOKP and Cm9 work together? So it only makes sense to how this can be happening. I do want to say still great work to you guys who put this together! Whitehawkx you are awesome and good luck with your school and new roms for GS3. And finally thanks to Eugene for picking up and trying to fix things. Anyways, I'm no dev and I'm still learning about all of this so this may mean nothing and I just come off as stupid Lol!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I believe CM9 doesn't have random reboots. They have an issue with occasional reboots when trying to mount via USB. A known CM9 bug. Since Im no dev, and Eugene is a well known and respected dev, I'm taking his word that he is well on his way to finding the problem, and fixing it.!!

I just tried getting the new nightlies for jb on threads in dev section about a minute ago and they were all down, all of them. Aokp and cm10 look really nice and strentghful I think so and am switch a lot between ROMs now a days and loving it. My fav touchwiz is Jedi and I don't really know why, it must be a mysterious Jedi skill, and cm ROM will conclude this post with guru. Try them all guys. These ROMs are real blessings and you won't know until you lift it up. By the way thanx.

Kies to 4.0.4 if you want a stable stock ROM. You can always root after that. 4.0.3 stock wasn't that greatest btw. most of the 4.0.4 custom ROMs are stable. Only the jb 4.1+ roms have a couple bugs here and there.
Btw ^ AOSP is a custom ROM too. I'm sure you know that, but it was a bit confusing and you're not making the most sense right now lol

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?

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?

Best JB 4.2 ROM?

What is currently considered the best 4.2 ROM in terms of features and stability? I'm looking for something in which I will not lose any functionality going from 4.1 (which I'm currently on) to 4.2. I tried checking out all the ASOP ROM threads, but it's a little difficult to get a feeling for what's working and what's not right now..
Thanks for the help. The main reason I'm looking to upgrade up to ASOP/4.2 is for Google Music All Access
In my opinion, Vanilla Root box is the best. It has features from CM10.1, AOKP and Paranoid Android.

Do you experience any issues with it? I was actually about to get that last night but decided against it because I couldn't find some more details about it. Thanks for the response btw.
Spleef's AOKP is fantastic. No real issues at all that I've found and it runs lighting fast.

AOKP or Rootbox are the best at the moment, imo. Ran these the most and had minimal issues.
Rootbox or EOS
Really though, they are all quite stable and I encountered very few issues with any.
If Camera is important to you, however, my experience is that you should stick with something like Lifeless or a Stock ROM.

I agree with the camera part. I'm running beanstalk and it seems just as good as any other aosp ROM I've tried. However they all have the same camera problems. Even with the camera script it just isn't as fast and seems like the focus isn't quite right. Lifeless with epics camera mod is solid for taking great photos. I always keep a lifeless backup just for that reason.
Any more thoughts on this? I just recently unlocked and rooted my LGOG and am looking for a good, stable 4.2.2 rom? I'm coming from a rooted ns4g on rasbeanjelly which was super smooth, fast and had great battery life

Funny... I was just thinking the same thing. That you as a senior member should know what xda is about and that posting useless comments like the ones you've posted are the ones that get threads closed and not asking about others' opinions and experiences with ROMs they have used. So please allow someone to answer my question so we can possibly get some ROM discussion going and learn from each others' experiences.

I would say Lifeless Rom. Just got my phone last Thursday, rooted it and put that Rom on there and havent tried any since. Rom is quick, no lag, you can have it as close to stock as you wanna and it even includes Aroma installer which has a ton of apps and tweaks you choose yourself.
Oh and EVERYTHING works! Cam, video, wifif, gps, LTE
its only 4.1.2 but its still good!

Well I've had Vanilla Rootbox on for about a day and have had a couple of issues with it. Like I was rebooting my phone and after it shut off it didn't want to power up again
It took like 5 minutes for my phone to power on again... I was so scared... Then I had some issues trying to place a call. The call would not go through. Had to reboot and again it took a while before I could power it on...
I'll give this a couple more days... if issues continue I'll have to try another ROM.

What you like about jelly Beer?
I had to ditch Rootbox cuz it was too inconsistent. I'd try to make calls and they'd just hang up, people would get multiple of the same text messages, and I could not hang up at times. I'd push the end button and it would hang up until the person on the other line would.
I'm currently on Beanstalk. So far haven't encountered any issues other than the occasional screen flicker and that the gps won't lock. I love the Darkstalk option too!
