Great news!
The Cyanogenmod and TeamChopsticks teams just released the first stable CM10 for the T989.
You can grab it here for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-T989 Hercules): http://get.cm/get/4LV
To avoid confusion: The source is out for Android 4.2 and it seems the future CM10.1.0 Stable will be based upon it, however this version (CM10.0.0) is based upon the work put into 4.1.2 and therefore this stands as the final for this version, as well as the first CM10 stable release. This release includes all of the commits up from all of the nightly's up until this build, and a few more.
Justananomaly's advice:
Read carefully or you might cause a rip in the space/time continuum.
You need to do a full wipe unless you're on a recent CM10 nightly already. If you are not using latest TWRP I HIGHLY recommend using CWM 5.0.2.7 after that version, Darkside wipe scripts throw most ROMs into a bootloop. You can get it here: http://db.tt/IAwaFQNx If using TWRP don't use Darkside wipe scripts, just clear cache/dalvik/factory reset. It's not recommended to run Darkside scripts on TWRP.

Use this gapps (latest for 4.1.2): http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
I AM NOT PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THOSE USING GAPPS DESIGNED FOR 4.2 ON THIS 4.1.2 ROM.
Please make a nanoid/twrp backup before flashing ANY rom. If you restore via TitaniumBackup only restore apps+data.
No I am not a part of CM Team or TeamChopsticks, I just posted this super early to avoid multiple threads and the mods needing to merge them. I love my mods.

Great Job, ready to try this out.
Downloading now. Thanks.
WOOHOOO
Is this basically just the 13th nightly marked as stable? Or... is there more to this?
::Edit::
Garth, I meant.. were there a lot of changes to this to make it "stable" since the builds we've been using or are the nightlies what became this? Lol. If that makes any sense.

It's the first verified "stable" build for all devices that CM builds for. There are of course issues still as with all builds (even final builds). Nighly builds can be stable as well but commits are applied daily so what fixes an issue might break something else. Stable builds are more of a milestone between nightly updates as a good progress indicator. So after so long they will release CM10.1.0 with all of the commits made on all of the nighly builds between today and the day it's released for instance. That means this build contains commits from all of the nighly builds up until now, and the CM/TCS teams are satisfied enough to call it "stable"
TL;DR: Nighly builds are experimental, stable releases are what you flash on your grandmas phone, and they are progress milestones.
I hope that helps.

I just got it on my phone, I'll let you know how it feels.
Thanks team chopsticks! Looking forward to CM10.1, hopefully AOSP goes live soon and the merges don't take long.
Thanks Cm ! Yall came a longg way this is running smoothly
Can't believe yet lol, get.cm is servers are overloaded I'm guessing
CM10 Stable feels really smooth.
Excuse my ignorance but from my understanding, jellybean's smoothness has part to do with the GPU. From what I've read we don't have such drivers available for the t989. With that in mind, does this ROM utilize ICS GPU drivers or perhaps generic drivers?
Insight on this is appreciated

I believe Team CM use a modified ics source chipset driver for our device. Nothing beats source though and we might have that in the coming months.
Either way, this is smooth.

what exactly is the purpose of the cm nightly roms? sure they're auto-compiled from the cm github, and with each release there are new fixes, corrections, etc. so they're more updated than the stable, but what function do they serve?
is it a developer's testing version or something?

CM nightly builds usually have the latest and greatest versions of kernels, apps, etc. on them. As a result, some of what you see on the nightlies won't make it to the RCs or the Stable builds.
Didn't you answer your own question in the OP?
The nightly builds include the latest additions/fixes/corrections to CM7, over and above what the RC and Stables have.
They're for people who want to have the absolutely most up-to-date build of CM7 on their device. In many cases there are large fixes and upgrades in the nightlies that you can have weeks ahead of them being integrated into a RC or Stable release. If you flash nightlies then you just upgrade your ROM a few features at a time, rather than 30 features all at once moving from one Stable to another.
Nightlies aren't usually recommended for the new user unless you're adventurous. Although they're generally stable (sometimes moreso than the 'Stable' release), there are inherent issues with flashing the newest ROM version every night. If you're willing to take it on you can but there's no guarantee that they work as you'd expect.

No what I meant was what purpose does it serve?
Is it supposed to be a developer's version of the CM7 ROM to see what new additions work and what still needs fixing and such.

I would imagine even though we are not allowed to report bugs the CM devs to use the nightly builds to find and fix bugs.

Yes generally this.
In ratio to how many people use it to be on the cutting edge, id say the ones who actually use it for dev purposes is highly negligible lol.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could say what the difference between the two builds of CM9 are. There's the team chopsticks version found here: http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/install-guide.html. And there is the, I guess more or less, official release here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-rc2
Am I right in thinking that the team chopsticks version is an unofficial attempt to port it over at the same time that the CM team came out with official support.
Has anyone compated the two? I've often heard a lot about CM, but have never tried it. I'm currently running Darkside Evolution 3 v8 with Touch0Color theme and I love it.
Thought?
I too was thinking about giving the latest CM9 RC2 a try. Kind of waiting to see if anyone else gives it try and reports back. I might do it before end of day today though.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hercules&type=RC
I am currently running same Rom as you but a version behind, V7. I am just hoping that I can install it with the same version of Clockwork that I used for Darkside.
Team Chopsticks are the official maintainers for CM on T989. They are the ones who incorporate and create the code for our device. CM requires that all code be checked and approved before being merged. The "unofficial" builds from team chopsticks represent experimental, unapproved changes yet to be fully merged into CM.
Essentially, they are one and the same.
ive been wondering the exact same thing. im currently running darksidev8 as a dd but recently tested aokp which was nice as well. now im interested in seeing what cm9 has to offer.
Try the Cm9 rc2 its a daily driver for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Best advice download and try roms from this site as opposed to searching the web and as others have said yes Team Chopsticks are the maintainers for our phone so what they do to CM9 will be strictly for our phones.
If you are new to CM9 just stick with the thread we have here and get goo.im which will help facilitate your downloads of updates.
Guys, wanted to know what simply means when a Rom is DISCONTINUED, this simply means that it has reached final release? Or that it was not completed and was abandoned? And UNOFFICIAL? What you guys have to say about it? Among these doubts also like to know when a ROM is in its final, fully stable. Thank you!

DISCONTINUED means that the developer has stop working/support on the ROM... Idk unofficial means...
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
UNOFFICIAL means the ROM that doesn't goes up in get.cm (Official CyanogenMod Download Site) or Official AOKP site, usually for unsupported device by the official CM Team/AOKP Team/Any ROM that has gained popularity but isn't maintained by the official team.

Thanks.

ive been using pro bam 4.3 rom and it has been great. except for battery running out a little fast but am giving it a few days for the rom to settle in!
PA 3.99
I have been messing around with a lot of 4.3 roms and pretty much all of them have the same stability. As for me, I prefer PA (Paranoid Android) 3.99 and PAC Rom but more toward PA 3.99 because it just seem slightly less buggy and bit smoother. Again, to each their own at this point since there is no official 4.3 for this device.

I've been using Hellybean , always you the latest, no issues. Love it.
As others have said its really just a preference thing. I have been trying out a few different ROMs, just to see which ones I like the most, especially 4.3 versions. I have been using [ROM] Unofficial | CyanogenMod 10.2 | Diablo Kernel [09-23-13] from ThdDude for the past day or two and havent had any issues to speak of. I really like that it has the Diablo Kernel compiled. I have noticed though that for some reason when I was trying to Flash 4.3 ROMs with CWM the system would boot but then go black and would have to go into recovery. I finally decided to give TWRP a try and havent experienced any problems flashing 4.3 ROMs. I have actually really been enjoying it and have some real respect for the developers.
stable 4.3 roms
The best I have used is the 9/26 aokp by whitehawkz along with uber kernel. Running 2.6.3.0 twrp. Especially like the active notifications with no problems.
There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!
Why are some builds considered official while most are unofficial?
The only "official" builds are found on the Samsung sites. Now, there are mirrors to those build but when in doubt, you get your OEM build from Samdung. All other builds are "hacks" (and I say that as a term of endearment) that are not 100%. These are non-official and using them is at one's own risk. I have tried several of them and found them wanting so I went back to the OEM. Yes, I am rooted but that is all. Rooted with OEM Rom or Firmware. So I guess that means that I do not have OEM Rom on my P5210. Hmmm...:angel:
"Official" builds are those from the Rom's team and are maintained and updated by those teams. "Unofficial" builds are ported by a dev and are not supported by that Roms team.
Unofficial builds are by no means bad. Usually they are ported by a dev because the particular device is not supported by a ROM team.

I am running the pac-man ROM which I see is unofficial, it runs very well. I did notice that Validus is an official ROM and wondering if that might be better, but think I will stick with Pac-man for now unless there is a reason to change.
I think when it says "Official", that means it is out of testing and preproduction. Not an official sanctioned Rom. If you take your device for repair and they see that rom on there, your warranty is void.
I didn't make it up. That is what it says on the developers site. I suppose they may label it as official just to fool newbies like me.
Brian D said:
What? Don't be ludicrous. Official firmware is made only by the manufacture, not some developer who hacked the OEM Rom in any shape, form,or function. All the roms found on XDA or any other Android site is not official unless it was made by Samsung, or whoever the OEM is for that device.
Please do not redefine words just to suit the occasion or to make others feel good.

You seem to blinded by what your opinion of official is. Everyone knows that only device manufacturers release "official" firmware, no one will argue that point. But the nature of this question is exactly as @dparrothead1 answered, referring to official or unofficial builds (such as CM, AOSP roms, and recoveries) which are frequently released by teams or groups as "official" releases supported by that team. Often, other people outside of the team will release a build, but since they aren't part of the team, that build is considered in unofficial.

Validus is official. It is built and maintained by Ground Zero Roms and it is very smooth and fast. It also has all the customizations you could want!!!
Make a nandroid of you pac-man and try it.....you can always reinstall your present ROM.
