i wish but seriously how come there are no AOSP roms for the ET4G?

ICS sourced dropped like a week ago, the device has been out for a couple months

The biggest problem is that there is no aosp kernel right now that works. So once we have that there is a better chance at getting aosp roms.

Well there's supposedly a build of CM7 Kang that works quite well on the SGSIIE4GT with some mod work. It was also sent to one of our main devs, Viper boy, and I'm pretty sure he and his team are ripping that thing apart line by line to make it work the best it can. They like to release finished products and they literally just got it yesterday... so.. idk hopefully soon!!!

I was just clarified that the ROM everyone is looking at is actually a kanged ICS port >.< sorry

Just curious, will it help once the Nexus-S 4G gets the official ICS Android 4.0 update from Google + Sprint, can any of that code be used to help make a ICS ROM for our E4T ?
Don't both phones share the same CDMA radios, and some similar Samsung hardware ?

Hold up: Who exactly did you "clarify" that with? I'm only curious because I was the one who sent that kanged Rom to Viperboy, and it was MOST DEFINITELY NOT an ICS Rom when I sent him the link to my Dropbox. When, exactly, did it morph from a tired CM7 build into an ICS ROM?
Am I now known as an "underground smuggler" of ICS ROMs??

Seriously, am I the only one who's more excited for a drivable MIUI over ICS for our device? Truly a great dev, not even a break from tweaking CM7 to perfection (I think he's still working on a kernel fix for the final release ) and he's already started on MIUI. Expect a donation soon my good sir

Yes! I dont really care about ics. But a fully functional miui would be supurb.

you should wait and work it off ICS once it arrives.. Seems kinda late in the game to base it off Gingerbread now.. although I am sure it would be nice...
I have been playing with Ravers build he had started but I think it will be better to wait for source.. just my 2 cents worth..

You rock! I can't wait

You do great work eugene. Looking forward to this if you're able to pull it off.

This is what I've wanted since I've gotten this phone. Keep it up!

I agree with you completely... but, would be nice to have at least a GB MIUI as well, though I'm waiting for our leak before I switch to ICS....
So this will keep me busy for now.

Do have any interest in cm9?

With the new ics, cm9 will officially be supported on or phones.

Were did you find this information? the CM website states it only supports the international version, not the T-Mobile USA version.

Maybe because we read what team chopsticks says. They have become part of the official cyanogenmod team, and means when enough bugs get worked out, it will be the official cm9.

Not ready to go to the Chopsticks Alpha, but not completely satisfied with TDJ's rom (no offense meant). I loved CM7 on my Optimus V and would be extremely happy to get full support for our T989!

You guys should check the CM9 thread in the dev section and find one of the unofficial builds from the last few days. They have the audio issues fixed and are solid daily drivers.

Definitely might do that. Was hoping to get the streamlined kernel going in darkside but had no luck, so cm9 will probably be my next rom. Thanks for the heads up.

And I'm on Hellfire JB which is feeling stable and great to me. I remove some "bloat" (in my eyes it is) and I'm happy with it... what you need to do is test them all out for about a 2-3 days to test battery and then switch to a new one to see what it feels like and to test battery again. Over and over until you find what you like. Me personally I like AOKP but trying out new things while everything is moving so fast for these roms. Once you flash official CM10 a new AOKP is out and so on so its hard to base these roms and say which is best. Try them out and you will find what works best for you. Also this thread is frowned upon. Lol.

Is It Me

Or Has The Development For This Phone Seriously Slowed Down?

The S4 came out. Many are working on both devices or more, 5 or so Roms just got updated I wouldn't see that as slowing down very much. This is also the time a lot of people get the used device to Dev on so many may come to our community as well. If you get "bored" you can try to build yourself or use att Roms also, so long as they don't have their updater-script device specific.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I think the above is true. It's just not shiny enough anymore. I still love it though!
Another aspect, from a development point of view is: why? Why develop for the S3? It's already over-saturated with (mostly) TW and AOSP ROMs. And one ROM is pretty much the same as the next. What I'm trying to say is, nobody is going to reinvent the wheel, because there is nothing wrong with the one we're using. If I'm being honest, we already have a ridiculously large selection of ROMs to choose from. There's not really anything to update.

Well over in sprint forum we have cnexus working on the sense five rom...i dont think its slowing to much
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

There is always a slow down between major Android releases as well. We will see a huge uptick once 4.2-based TW ROMs launch and even more when key lime pie launches.

This!!! And further more like aerowinder stated, there isn't much more that can be done. Almost all AOSP Roms have the same issues and will continue to for the most part, they all use the same overall base for the most part, if one has more "features" it is more prone to breaks, same goes for TouchWiz Roms. The more stuff messed with and customized the larger the chance for breaks. I think the forum is bloated as is but thats not a problem as it gives options.

I completely agree with this, I find roms that are closest to stock, AOSP or Touchwiz, to be the ones that are the most pleasant to use.
Not trying to bash all the hard core rom cooks out there who packs in features into their roms, it is just my preference. You guys are doing an excellent job.
I know how much work it takes to develop a piece of software, especially when working by yourself or a tiny team. And for free.

I'm watching Ubuntu development and its not progressed any further on the kernel level than the last kernel I posted - it's in Development if you want to try out the OS but nothing works. I have to wait for Ubuntu to update the kernel source... They're still using 4.1.2 source code which is what they launched with. They need to work on the kernel before it's going to be any use.
First release isn't until October so I don't think they are going to do much kernel development right now and instead they're going to focus on app development

It is not possible to port international ROMs to the Us S3. Entirely different hardware. We will have to wait for an official 4.2.2 release or rely on AOKP, AOSP, CM, etc.

I wouldn't worry too much, though. Our devices are going to get the 4.2.2 update... Things will pick up again.
I heard a leak may be exposed within the week. Rumor, of course... But from Samobile.com, they are typically a good source of information for stuff like that.

Yeah I about lost my mind trying to keep up with some of those comments haha.
It looks like its the I9300 for sure though, we haven't even had one test build for US variants and it makes sense, especially with all the features of the S4 that Samsung is porting over. Like it or not, they are always going to update Exynos devices before Qualcomm, especially when it comes to the S3 because of the relatively large disparity between the performance of the two versions.
