nope we should get 4.2.2 because samsung has stated that is the last update any galaxy s 2 will get but we have yet to get 4.1.2 as it looks now we might be stuck on 4.0.4 forever

i personally dont want to ask for an eta because i dont even ask the devs here for those (nor will i ever ) but if they would at least say " hey we are working on it and here are the problems we are having" saying that would be such a nice gesture and maybe some devs would help out so they could hurry up and push the update

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

But do u think a developer can port it in??

There are a few JB roms with ported S3 themes and apps, check the dev section and find one you like.

I'm asking bout the same software as what's coming out with the s4......(the ability to control the phone with your eye's

I don't think T-Mobile is in any rush to update our software. They would prefer to sell us S3 or S4.

Yeah but can't it be ported in from at&t?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

some things can be ported (like themes), but some of the apps are hardware specific and probably wouldn't work on our phone.

If you're asking if this almost 2 year old device will be updated to support features of a yet unreleased flagship device, then the answer is no
Can't upgrade hardware buddy

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.

Yes we do? We have official and many, many roms for it. Also google said they were gonna make it a priority to get more devices Jelly Bean much faster.
Sdk ports are never good. Always run really slow even if all the drivers are in place.

Useless unless you want to dump a few thousand dollars to pay a few devs full time to get it where it needs to be.. in a month or two.

Nah. There are still some (relatively minor) bugs.
And Google doesn't have the final say in who has Jelly Bean. I'm sure we'll be able to get JB here, but Google doesn't push OTA updates for our device. Same for most others.

Guys before you get all hellbent on getting JB, it's likely the T989 won't see official JB.

gonna be dropping all samsung branded devices soon, should have did so after my vibrant, would be a damn shame to see the T989 not get jellybean when the hardware would support it just fine
Forget the system dump. Just wait for the Source Code, which shouldn't take long to be out. GNexus is getting the update soon (2nd week of July is i'm hearing).
Can it be ported? The ICS is much closer to Jellybean than Ginger was to ICS. Maybe the ICS drivers might work and even the kernels.

Paranoid Android ROM?

I want this too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
super excited for this as well but patient. While some had the s3 since initial launch over a month ago. Many have only had the phone for 2 to 3 weeks. It will happen give it time.
But Verizon got it already

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

Wondering about new Jellybean Roms?

Hey guys, I've used a couple of roms and am a fan of Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP, but I realize they still have no touchwiz. I was wondering with the official JB release being out for the international s3 and it seems to feature touchwiz as well were there no roms that featured the same(Jellybean and touchwiz)? Let me know guys thanks.

"Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP" are all AOSP ROMs, therefore they don't contain Touchwiz. If you want Touchwiz JB ROM, then you'll have to wait for that from Samsung. BTW, official JB ROM for our phones are not out yet.
Correct, AOSP and AOKP are ROMs based off the Android Open Source Project. HTC and Samsung basically load their own launcher or UI over it. There are usually a few ROMs that come with TW but the devas might be waiting for the official source

Unless i'm mistaken(maybe it was for international?). It was on one of these threads in General after the Samsung conference, also a few other sites mentioning it. Again maybe it is just for the international version.

Sept for the lack of touchwiz things like smart alert, smart stay, direct call, tilt to zoom, pan to move/browse, shake to update, palm pause, etc. That is the reason that I like touchwiz. It's slightly more functional than vanil. You can put a launcher on touchwiz and look like AOS/KP with the functionality, you lose that functionality though if you go to AOSP and try to look like touchwiz
Too bad the ROMS are full of bugs and do not work right most of the time. I'll wait for a stable update from Samsung.

But yea.... it took until AFTER 4.2 came out to get 4.1 entirely rolled out..... and it's still only 4.1.1 IIRC. Probably won't see 4.2 for quite some time.
The note 2 will probably get it before us, or when ever the gs4 comes out someone will port it over Maybe some "leaked" roms like we did for 4.1.

Just read that today. Wanted to know what you guys think. More geared to those not running 4.2.2 ROMs since we all know you can just flash those and not worry about updates.

Nothing exciting. Biggest thing being improved Bluetooth. According to that list, they are leaving out everything from the International 4.1.2 update. And the 4.2 roms we have are AOSP, this update is stock TW.

Yeah it didn't look at that exciting to me. I'm sure Tmobile will lag on this let alone 4.2. I'm running stock now since I got my replacement. But, I think at least for me I'll skip the sgsiv and see what the end of the year holds. I've been through too many phones this last year to warrant me getting the sgsiv. Htc amaze>Sgs2>gbex>sgs3.
