Samsung Multi-Window? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Just wondering if there are any "tweaks" that can get Samung's Multi-Window into the T989? Or even the windowed video while going other stuff? I don't think they're needs...but it would be cool if they were ported over!

Download super video in the play store for video. As far as multi windows, I doubt it. Our phone is just too small and would be awkward.

This is what a skyrocket is

LOL nice one. Yes I saw it on that model but I haven't heard of anything for the T989. Or are all S2 ROMs backwards compatible?

I just read on redmondpie the gods at xda ported for the s2 just not sure which ones.

All skyrocket ROMs are compatible with the T989. The skyrocket is the ONLY S2 that is compatible. DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER S2 ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL HARD BRICK!! The only issue you will have is borked rotation and no signal. There is a flashable fix in the dev section, for ICS or JB. You will have to add the T-Mobile APN settings to get a signal.

I contradicted none of what I said. That one is for a different version of the GS2, not for ours which are backwards compatible (T989/Skyrocket).

LOL...T-Mo SGS2 = T989 the Skyrocket is the I727...so yes you are contradicting yourself there bud. Like it was stated previously if it works with the Skyrocket it will work with our phones.
edit: Just clicked the link and I'm not sure that works with our phones because thats in the I9100 forum which is the International version of the SGS2 which is NOT compatible with ours.(Correct if I'm wrong please)

You are correct. Hopefully a dev can make it work for our phone!!

It was a spelling error or typing error he meant to write not compatible instead of now compatible.

From my understanding, when our phone gets the update for jelly bean, it's suppose to include the multi Window feature. Don't take that to the bank as anything can change.

Why would you guys want multi window on this phone?? The resolution is way too low. Just upgrade for christs sake. Even with the pop up video player, you can barely do much of anything else, it covers more than half the screen.

Cm9 Tablet mode/Hybrid UI

I saw this on phandroid first introduced to the galnex.
I know we just got the unofficial cm9 and don't even have fully functional Aosp build or AOKP builds yet. But is any of our devs interested in this? It looks very interesting and I think with the size of the screen that our phones come in, it could be very nice on our Hercules.
Heres the mod for the epic 4g touch

yeah i'm more than interested. working on figuring out how to do this with smali and xml edits. tough without source. we'll see where i can go with this. if any other devs want to lend a hand hit me up.
cool man! glad to see a solid dev interested in this. im excited!
@ Starskyrob, I hope you do look into this and try to get it 100% working with our phones. I went to the link and flashed the tablet ui mod. With success I might add! It looks real nice, I didnt flash no kernel. Just used rom toolbox to set dpi to 128, then rebooted in recovery, flashed the file, clear dalvik, fixed permissions, reboot and done! We do have some very minor issues, but this could be due to our cm9 not being all the way done yet. Anyways, good luck on that and have fun...
I wonder if ravers rc9 would work with this?

The one in the link in the OP, from the epic touch forum. The cm9 zip. For some reason it worked. I had to clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions as well. And then clear the data on non responsive apps.
Yea it works for me too but when I back it up and then try to restore coming from another rom, the lock screen glitches then it goes into the boot animation and stays there. Any help?

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Simple because our phones are not supposed to have ICS yet. The first ICS leak came FOR TMOBILE about 2 weeks ago until that time we were using AT&T so we now have a compatible version of ICS. The developers are great they made a OS from another phone work on ours, now that they have the correct structure for T-Mobile give them some time they have lives too ya know, Darkside has a good stable rom and constantly improving it. ICS is about 93% fully functional now on our phones, and remember roms cut much of the bloat out that we dont need, etc.otherwise buy a Nexus

I've ported it to the AT&T S3 but haven't made a thread for it yet because I have one bug left in it, call audio doesn't work. I could port it to the Sprint S3 and upload it in this thread if anyone wants to test it. Call audio should be the only bug, well if there's any bugs in CM10 those will be present too.

The more ROMs the better
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
well im personally using aokp right now. it takes care of a lot of the cm10 bugs and it has a few customizations that i really enjoy already baked in (i.e. center clock and circlemod battery). the main reason i want the paranoid android is the in depth ui changing. and with jellybean now having 3 different uis baked in id love to go through and tinker with all of that. i really want the 7inch notification bar ui and the tablet camera ui ( i love the option wheel look). but just like it was mentioned earlier, more roms is never a bad thing but the only way i see me giving up aokp is for some PA love lol
Yup it is pretty badass

[Q] is it easier to get a jb rom now that the s3 has it?

Since the s3 officially has jelly bean, is it possible to port jb from the s3 to the s2x easily?
Just curious. im looking forward to some stable roms in our future.
I can't say for sure if it's possible or not but I would put money on JB roms for our phone being completely stable, before someone ports something from the S3

As i will, but i dont see it being ported, ever. The hardware has changed to much for it to work. Primarily our phone uses the S3 snapdragon, vs the Galaxy S3 uses the S4 snapdragon. That and the screen type changing makes it highly improbable. It will have to be changed so much, you might as well just call a theme of the S3. From the looks of it, we are getting close to having a stable JB ROM.

It's different enough that porting something would be difficult if not impossible.. Generally to port something you need the hard ware to be quite close.. It would be easier to build something from scratch that to port from something that doesn't have the exact same hardware specifications

I have both devices. And the s3 has different display resolution, different processor, different gpu, different front and back cameras. So it's practically impossible to port anything.
But being away from the s2 forums for quite some time, I am blown away by all the development for this bad boy.

Phone is old now. Not obsolete, but very outdated at this point. A lot of people including myself upgrade every 2 years or so or when performance essentially doubles. Basically when an upgrade can not only be seen, but felt. People are moving on to bigger and better devices. To add, development for this phone is on its way to the grave. The phone has AOSP 4.2.2 and the last official update it's ever going to get, TW 4.1.2. Something that can't be said for most other phones from its time. Which is a surprise to me because as the crappiest version of the GS2 line, I didn't expect the t989 to get more dev support than its exynos powered siblings.
Angwho, I digress. What more do you want?

I agree with most of what above poster said. This phone has fewer and fewer users every week. So development with reflect this.

Yeah nothing mentioned about any variant besides the international S2. Not saying we won't get 4.2, but imo the realistic chances of it are virtually nonexistent.

I agree. It's difficult to imagine Samsung or the carriers investing any further for devices with a relatively limited user population. I just wanted to share what @hatememarkz might have been referring to...which could very well be legitimate (but perhaps also irrelevant?)
