[Q] Possibly an idiot noob question, but here goes.... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have a samsung galaxy s2 sph-d710bst from boostmobile. it came with a really nice interface under ice cream sandwisc , which had a huge digital clock and matching weather widget.
Like a damn fool, I updated to jellybean thinking i could keep all my widgets and stuff, but theyre all gone.
The jellybean interface is really unfamiliar and it seems to run smoothly but i liked the ICS interface more.
what i want to know is, how can i get the old digital clock and weather widget back?
I have downloaded the clock from xda but jellybean wont let me install it for some reason.
can someone please answer this possibly ridiculously stupid question?

This may be the wrong forum but I was actually instructed to post this question here by someone else who said my previous post was in the ''wrong forum''.
Pointing out the right forum would be helpful.
I havent seen any forum that is specifically for boostmobile's galaxy s2, so forgive me for being unable to locate it on my own.
EDIT
OK, well I will post the question in the epic 4g forum. All these names for the gs2 are confusing as hell. Thanks though.

That's because your first post was in the SGS2 forum. You want the Samsung Epic 4G TOUCH forum. I'd link it but my phone doesn't want to for some reason.

if you like the widget ..etc from ICS rom, you can get similar or even the same on your home screen.
Try themes, they come in all flavors and if u see something u like use it.
Jellybean has a theme chooser that u can use as many as u like.
hit thanks if that was helpful.

[Q] Can the ics update for UK be used in the US?

Hey Guys,
I just recieved my galaxy s2 4g yesterday. I have already rooted it and installed the recovery (yay). My question is, can I install the rom from the official ICS release from the UK on my US phone? Or will I have to wait till samsung rolls out a US update?
Also if I can use the UK rom, which one should I use?
Thanks!

You can't flash any thing from a non epic touch 4g unless you want a brick ...the international is gsm please read the dev section really good it doesn't sound like you know what your doing ....

In general, anything in the news/wherever about ICS labeled "Galaxy S II" has little to do with this phone. Only things Specifically labeled for the SGSII Epic Touch 4G are relevant.
We have different hardware, most importantly radios, so the software is pretty much deadly to our phones.
And yes, if you read around a bit in general section, you'll see a thread started about twice a day with that same question.

[ROM] TouchWiz/Sense/Motoblur WORK IN PROGRESS!!

Hey guys!
It's me again! I've offered, to help, with the ViciousWiz/Sense/Blur projects. And I'm here to say, it's all gonna work out fine! This thread will be used, to post changelogs, dl links, and for support!
So first; a few things, that DO work!:
ADB
logcat
WiFi should be working, now
It's not booting (yet) (It is in the bootanimation, that's why this is in the Working" part )
What's not working:
Phone, SMS/MMS
boot
dmesg (Even though logcat is working...? )
Everything else...
I have a request, aswell. I need someone, to make an app, with sweet tweaks!
I have a tester, who is willing tp create an app, for that. But two is better than one, right?!
So, I guess the first dl link will be posted in the next few hours
Addition: the changelogs will be posted in the original thread AND here. I have created this thread, in case I forget, to post it, on the other thread If you are unhappy with this, tuff ^^
Quick announcement: I'll be creating TWO ROMs. One, will be the original TWiz ROM, where I offered help. Secnond will be ALSO a TWiz ROm, but with a few customizations
SO, one stock version, and another version, which will be modded
PLEASE READ: My laptop broke a couple of days ago. I had the ROM, prted it over to my SIII, to see if it works. IT DOES! But, uhmm... I can't work, for the next couple of weeks. I need to get a mnew computer, before anything else, so... Sorry guys! I'll post the link, as soon as I've recovered it, from my HDD. I just hope it'll work on your devices, just as it did on my GSIII!
<Reserved>
This is great!, looking forward to a stable sense ROM.

I know this it XDA, and I know that people so things because they can... BUT WHY MOTOBLUR?? Even Motorola are ashamed of it... That's why they say the new phones come with the new "Don't call me Motoblur skin" lol

well I thought I would pull this out of the dark!! lol.....Man I wish we could get a JB touchwiz port!
I think all the TouchWiz projects are dead. It seems that that there aren't enough people with our phones that care enough to port TW.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but think you're talking about the Add on.. which is just "a theme + widgets" and not a full ROM.
I'm also hoping for a GS3 ROM.. the lock screen... hmm.. ^^

[Q] Touchwiz (from GS3) on One X?

Hi xda,
This my 1st post, ive been lurking on xda for while now - very helpful site with great devs! Does anyone think we will see the port of the leaked galaxy s3 rom for our one x;s? Trying out the new gs3 launcher suprised me with how smooth this is. Any reason why it wouldn't work on the one x;s?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I hope this is correct one.
Thanks!
I think it might come sometime soon , still im a fan of HTC Sense

[Q] Hi! I'm new and don't understand a thing.

I recently am an owner of a SGS3. And it's quite a change if you have had a blackberry before.. ( Yes I know those things are things from hell ) Yet, I've seen things on the web about rooting and flashing rom's and mods etc. I read the Ref Guide which is stickied. But still.. I have no clue about it all. The only thing I want to do is have a ICS Status bar on my phone, you know the status bar with the blue icons. I've already downloaded one from the play store but that one is crap. Now, I am on Android 4.1.2. and yeah I really want some more and simple info. And definitely want the status bar.
Thanks in advance!

If I'm thinking correctly you would want something like CM10. 1 or AOKP or a tw rom that you can theme to look like ICS

Exactly! The thing is i dont know what to do preferably i want to installn cm 10.1. I just need some info on it about the risks and how to install. Then I should be able to install it.

Everything you need, save CM itself, can be found in my signature.
What Blackberries did you have? I had the 8380 with VZW then the 9700 with TMo.

Sent from my morphed WICKED fast GSIII
Cm is a bad idea for someone who doesn't even know what it is or what anything in the reference guide is for that matter. The OP probably barely knows how to work android it seems. I prefer them to learn their phone before trying to root and flashing things I can see many part coming from them about their phone being dead and won't turn on.
Read some more and watch YouTube videos on this phone and learn what rooting/flashing custom roms are. For your phones sake. PM me with any questions and I will simply link you something to read.
T-Mobile SGS III
@OP, I do understand. I went from a blackberry to an HD2 and now to the sg3. I've hacked the heck out of all 3 devices. XDA is a most excellent place to learn all things android. Follow the advice given and read, read and read some more. If I, a 54 year old grandma can learn the ins and outs of all these phones, I know it's possible for anyone else to do it too.

[Request] Xperia Z Lockscreen

Just to warn you guys, I am a n00b. lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168411
Alright, so I checked that thread out and unfortunately it's for the International S3. :/ So, this is half a question and half a request. x) My question is that if I flash this .zip, will my device get bricked? Because I've also seen this request for the S4 and someone linked them the link I put above. BUT in that link, the person says, "Do not try this on other devices" I think... so I'm kinda in between here! haha But if that link is solely for the International S3, does anyone know if there's a port to (grammar check?) the T-Mobile Galaxy S3... or even better, can someone make one? D I think that's asking too much, nevermind. lol Well if anyone can help me out with this, I'd be really appreciative!
If it helps, I'm running Dandroid 3.4 on my phone and I removed TouchWiz and Nova, and I have the XperiaLauncher.apk as my default launcher ...That's probably irrelevant but whatever. xD
Is it okay if I "bump"? If so, bump. If not, you may tell me to delete this or you can just delete it.
If it doesn't specifically say that it works for your device I wouldn't flash it.

XperiaWiz has the lockscreen. . Several roms in the t999 dev section have that lockscreen. . Just search for it or browse. ..
