Jelly Bean ROM - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I am looking for a decent Jelly Bean ROM, and a good set of instructions on how to install the ROM. Other guides I have seen, I do not trust. Also, I play a game called The Simpsons: Tapped Out. Is there any way I can save that with all the data before I install the ROM? If somebody can help me out with this guide I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Latest slimbean 4.2.2 has no issues and is buttery smooth. I'm on it now

Best custom rom? with tweaks and mods?

I just traded my samsung skyrocket for the nitro
so far, i'm loving it. screen is awesome, But my skyrocket had ICS which is really smooth
The nitro is rather chunky in apps and launcher.
So which rom do you guys recommend?
Andasa's Nitrogen ROM. Or hono cm9 throttle v6. Both rock.

The only one I've tried so far is the CM9 RC1 and I love it.
So far I've used every rom available for our phone, including the original non-cwm flashable ICS leak which I had to debrick to get to another rom. I would say the best so far Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 (fast and awesome) and the stock ICS leak (not as fast, still awesome, very stable). I like being able to Oc my phone but find myself missing several features from the leak when I'm on FT....

You got the link for Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 ?
AOKP milestone 6 is awesome. My new favorite. I think it was just posted yesterday, I'm getting great battery and performance with it.

The link for V6 is on page 8 of the Full Throttle thread in the development section. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache before AND after flashing in CWM. Dunno if all of it is completely necessary but it generally makes things much smoother. You'll also need to flash gapps in order to get the play store, YouTube, etc. It can be downloaded via Rom manager or found via Google search, just use the newest one available.

[Q] CM9 vs CM10?

Which is better, CM9 or CM10?
With all the hard work of the FXP team, it's extremely difficult to choose between CyanogenMod 9 and CyanogenMod 10
I was wondering, if through the power of the XDA forums, people would be so kind as to help me out a bit, maybe offer an opinion, or tell me the benefits of each.
Obviously I've read through both threads and found problems and errors, but due to the constant updates, I never know if these errors still exist or not
Hopefully someone can help me decide between CM9 and CM10 or advise me to stick to my Sony stock based rom at the moment
Thanks!

There are total three versions released by FXP.
1. CM7 - Ginger bread
2, CM9 - Ice Cream Sandwich
3. CM10 - Jellybean
Right now CM9 is in beta and CM10 is in alpha. Where CM7 is in stable mode means everything is working and most of the problems got solved.
Regarding CM9, its laggy compare to CM10 - my personal experience. But CM9 it is in beta, where it fits for daily use.
Regarding CM10, this ROM is in alpha, with fixes (posted in CM10 thread) it is also suit for daily use.
What I want to say is stay with GB, flash CM10 once the rom moved to beta version or flash CM7 for fast and smooth ROM. :highfive:

One thing I like about ICS is the action bar though
Are there any app incompatibilities like apps that only work with ICS+ or do they all work with GB?

Not all ICS apps incompatibile with GB. If app is incompatible may be the app will get Force close.

Why would you say that is?
CM9 cuz its more stable than CM10.
I use CM 9.1 because it supports flash... CM10 is a lot more fluid than CM9, but lack of flash support is a huge deal for me.
I chose to try out CM10 and I don't think I'm going back
If you install cm10, there is a simple way to get flash working just as it does on Ics, tested it myself with flash and dolphin browser if you're interested I can link you to the apk

sorry but...Neither One Nor the Other .in My opinion!
What I like most about JB/CM10 is the options in the notification bar, like quick reply, call (for texts), and call back or message (for calls) not to mention the incredible battery life i get when my phone is in standby (i think it averages 0.5%/h, which is much lower than all the other roms I tried, for GB and ICS). But I'm using an xperia pro (since we share a forum) so it might not be the same... but one thing i don't like about CM10 is the camera (have they fixed that in fxp138?) and the random crashes every now and then. But it's not that bad.
If you want tasted ICS and GB look, just try flash Jelly Sandwich by Maxxio 1998. Just stable... Use until CM10 get the beta version...

Jelly Sandwich and Xperia ICS & JB Remix is builded on stock ICS. Currently Im using Xperia ICS & JB Remix and it's great! A lot of free ram, zero lags and no bloatware apps like : Timescape and FB.

Best 4.1 ROM for our device?

In your own opinion what is your favourite 4.1 ROM available right now? I know this is going to be a very mixed bag thread but just for fun to see what my fellow t989ers are using

Rom All star v7 is
fantastic,awesome,perfect,amazing #1 for me...:thumbup::beer:
I'm using Official slim bean 3.1 with lightning zap kernel and I'm getting average 4 hours of screen time. My favorite rom so far!
CM10 Nightlies. I always get the most out of my battery out of it. Yet, the call quality on them kinda suck. People keep saying i'm breaking up while on a call.
Just to add I'm currently running slimstar and its pretty smooth on my end hasn't settled yet though

Depends what you are asking for. If you want performance, usually CM10. If you want battery, I'd also say CM10. For massive amounts of preferences go with PACman ROM.
Has anyone tried both cory's mod and slimstar?

Other than the data issue how was the ROM? Just another CM10 port?

I am praying for MIUI Jellybean based ROM. For now, Cory's Awesome Mod; It's a WIP but as of now ... It's minimal and is a reliable DD for me. :laugh:

All Star V7. Oddly enough I had to flash the rotate fix on it but otherwise great. I tend to get between 4-5hrs of screen time (tested on a plane flight from Dulles to Vienna) per battery.
Slim Bean All Star v5 the best so far...

I am running slim-star! I really like it. new build is 26.1 ... Currently re-flashing though because it wouldn't detect my network o__o so I couldn't call anyone.
ROM from GS2USR
I flashed almost all the ROMs and the best one so far is the "[P?+Aokp+Cm] P.A.Cman True All in 1 ROM[01-03-13]" by GS2USR . Using v 19.0 currently.
Very fast/ snappy, no bloatware, has all the options you can imagine. ANd everything works great. I went to other roms for change, but kept coming back to this for smooth sail experience.
Good luck brother !
Aokp. Its virtually bug free.

Best T989 ROM Setup
Based on the advice of others who posted, I tried Slim Star v1.26, updated OTA today to v1.27. It is the best of all I tried for T989. No call echo, which was the deal breaker on a few JB roms. No WiFi issues, which I had with the latest CM10 nightlies. Here's the whole sequence of what I end up doing, after a lot of trying things
Flashed Slim Star ROM
Flash the Nexus boot anim from here
Flash Walkman.zip forget where I got that one from LOL, it was in the "Extras" or "Add-Ons" section of one of many ROMS I tried
Flashed latest ASD Kernel (probably overkill I know but I have good luck with this flash as far as eliminating Echo)
Bonus that ASD Kernel flash script does a cache wipe and dalvik wipe and reboot for me, so I do it last (3 less things I have to do in CWMR lol)
Wait 10 min (hardest part LOL)
Reboot, wait 1 min
Set up Google Acct but don't restore phone! Once I accidentally didn't uncheck Restore Phone and it won't let you go back! I had to start all over LOL
Slim Star comes with an app called Update Me, full of Awesomeness. I used the Add-ons menu in there to download a Extras.zip and it's own Slim-Gapps, reboot to Recovery and flash both of those
Today Slim Star did an OTA update of itself to 1.27, dirty flashed that, then set default keyboard to Android because I have to have gesture texting! It just never stops getting more Awesome! :good:
Also Holo Launcher that comes with Slim Star did a Play store update of itself to v2.01. Nice launcher that comes with Slim Star, I set as default, has really good solid Settings organization, never "forgets" my settings like some ROMs did, also wrap around Home screens which I missed for awhile. And it doesn't try to be Phablet, which personally for me I didn't like about some ROMs.
I then disable the following Apps that I don't use (don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems to work)
Apollo (I use Walkman)
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Music
Music
Picasa Uploader
Picasa Web Albums
Seeder

Phone is really running better than it ever has, after I followed these steps. Hope this helps others.

I want to change my ROM

Hello colleagues,
At the moment I am using VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.2 Stock/Sense/Data++ and it works almost good but not enough.
With it I have random reboots and the camera cannot record video at all.
Could you advise me another image with good video recording and without random reboots?
Thanks in advance!
Depends what Android version u want. I personally use MIUI XJ for few days now, its nice and fast, camera works as it should. Its Android 2.3 BTW

If you want stability and good video recording use any gingerbread rom. I would recommend one of mildwilds.
If you want a jelly bean rom that doesn't have soft reboot issues try the paranoid android rom in my sig. Unfortunately most jb roms including this one don't have good video recording.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Avoid those: Sense 4.1, Sense 4.0, Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) AOSP/SDK.
Everything else will be fine.

Agreed! Although I updated from MW and to JB 4.2.2 roms and none are as solid as MW, but I can't bring myself to downgrade as I feel I'll be missing out on something!

I've been using CyanoMod007 JB 4.2.2 recently and it is the best JB rom so far for me. Very solid with no reboots so far after a couple days.
