New to flashing roms - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello i have a T989 SGS2 and i want to install a great rom on it i was hoping to install the S4 rom on to it but i cant seem to find it, which is ok if its not out there yet or cant be done (As i read something saying the s4 rom cant be put on the s2) i was wondering what rom is recommended for the s2 im really looking to use the latest s-voice if i can i didnt know if it comes on a rom already or if i can install it using an apk file any tips and or help i am greatful for and want to say thank in advance.

Definitely don't flash an S4 rom! If u need Wi-Fi callng, u need one of the stock based 4.1.2 roms; jellybeast, infamous, jedi mind trick jb for example. If u don't, then many good choices.

Check out the roms in the development thread. As far as s voice you can find the apk and install if you want. And no you can't install a s4 rom on the s2 or any other rom for that matter that is not compatible. The only other roms that work on this phone are the s2 skyrocket roms and with those you need the rotation fix for the sensors to function properly.

Best to go thru dev section & look at different features, screenshots, etc. Try different ones out & see what u like. U can always switch around.

So the 4.2.2 PACMAN v2201 wont support wifi calling? how do i know what is a stock rom and what is not?
sorry for all the questions but i gotta learn somehow right?

Pacman, or any AOSP rom does not have Wi-Fi calling. Stock will say it is based on stock jellybean in description.

Well, I am a total newb at this as well, as I just flashed my first ROM this week. I needed wifi calling as well, and I decided on the jellybeast rom. It looked cool, but also the dev was giving alot of support in the forum, so I knew he would help me if needed. Anyway, everything went smooth by just following his directions, and I could not be happier now with my phone. That rom is super smooth and fast and very stable. Good luck.

[Q] Flash AT&T AOKP JB ROM

I already did a search on this question and wasnt really sure if it was only for the MIUI rom or if it was okay to flash any rom and it would still work. I want to flash the AOKP JB rom for the AT&T galaxy 3 to my Tmobile galaxy 3, is it possible to flash this rom and have everything working to? Thanks in advance
I can't answer your question, but I have one of my own. What's wrong with the TMo AOKP builds?
Nothing. I'm actually using their latest one right now but I wanted to see what the difference is. Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, I just know how to do it. And I like to try out and use different things
I am running task and ktoonez aokp from att on my t mobile s3 right now. It's been running good so far. No problems. Everything working fine. Using the ktoonez kernel too that is in the post.

Is freegs3 touch wiz or AOSP?
-Sent from my GS3 running CM10.-
Its 4.0.4 touchwiz, OP search around and read before making your friends phone old and out dated with problems. And no the 2.3 rootkit is obsolete now a days, IMO. Just use Odin and read on the roms what's available and which has what features and let him/her decide.

If your friend likes the stock look I would recommend xquizit ROM by wild or frosty ROM by dj or infamous ROM by jamison and wicked by evil. Aosp look and feel I would recommend aokp or cm10. Its all on jellybean too.

Someone said they have the AT&T Jellybeer rom running perfectly on our T889, I need to flash our modem though, correct? Does anyone have a zip link to one, I can't seem to find a recovery flashable one? I'm kind of excited now, since our forum seems so quiet.

No need to flash a modem. Clean install first, then just flash the rom and flash gapps. I'm currently running Jelly Beer. :good:
I have Jelly Thunder running fine on mine, I just stayed in recovery and flashed Persius kernel for our device after flashing the ROM, everything working here.

Wait, the modem is the same? So not used to having a phone with the same specs, Lol. I do have to flash a different kernel though?

Modem is not the same, but I am assuming the roms that doesn't include a modem will not replace the one you have now

Yea, I just asked someone in the Jellybeer thread if I had to worry about that, or flash a modem, or kernel. To be on the safe side.... if so, Mmm..... back on AOSP, is going to feel so good. Lol

I too am running jellybeer and it is great it will do for now till whitehawkx and cmenard relese a nice shiny new AOKP rom for us (fingers crossed) it has some AOKP features in it. All I have to say is read read read and when you are done and think you got it read again. All the info is in the the first few posts of a rom thread. just make sure that there is no modem mostr devs do not include a modem but I have notices a few that are starting to put one in so just watch if they do they usually say so because like I said it is not standard pratice.
I do have a question I have not flashed any touchwiz att roms only the unofficial cm10 and jellybeer. So on the TW roms do you have to flash o tmo kernel? The reason I ask is because on the s2 the main difference was the rotation. It was always messed up so the way to fix it was to use a tmo kernel or vice versa . Until someone made a .zip that fixed that and the device name in the build.prop so is that the same situation here.. It doesnt sound like it.
And one m ore question while I am here I posted a question in the q&A thread if anyone knows the proper lcd density. I dont like the way jellybeer is it has small fonts on the phone but everything in the market is way too big and it is driving me nutts.

That i dont know, all the note II has the same hardware, correct me if im wrong. so i dont know if flashing a tmo note II kernel with a Att TW rom will work. but CleanRom is using Persus, and i think Tmo N2 has Persus kernel, so maybe it will work
Here it is guys, i took the risks with my heart pounding every second when it was installing and booting
Using CleanRom by scrosler, here is the link
I flashed the rom, in aroma, i choosed ATT as the carrier and persus kernel, then the rest is pretty self explanatory
then i flashed Tmo modem and Tmo Persus Kernel
it booted and it is running, i powered it off and took out the battery to test if it will power back on again, and indeed it did
Clean rom works perfectly without a flaw.. no need to install any kernel,modem or anything .

To install CyanogenMod on Note II

Hi!!
I just wanted to ask if I have to be first root on my note II in order to install CyanogenMod, that's right?
can I install CyanogenMod rom on my note II without being root?
Cheers.
J.
Yes you need root and a custom recovery
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Check out www.galaxynote2root.com for all the info you need on rooting, flashing and recovery programs I have heard this rom can be a little unstable but have not yet tried it. I use WanamLite rom and love it, very close to stock with more benefits and very stable
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Read the CM10.1 nightly thread, it has instructions.
Hi,
Just wanted to ask if cyanogenmod is stable enough for my Note II. I am looking for a stable rom... the closest one to the stock because I would not like to get a stone as phone...
Is WanamLite working properly?
Regards and thanks!
I tested both roms for same time, both very stable. However my opnion is that if you want a rom very similar to stock what is the fun? Nothing new to play around.
I'm using now Moon v8, a lot of features, good battery and no issue so far.

Well, sure - I'll have fun installing a rom and all that stuff but I had an iphone and I got tired saving everything before jailbreaking and then install everything.. when a new version was released the cycle again... so I'd like to have a phone with cyanogenmod o whatever mod rom but I don't want to change rom every time... at least I don't want to save my pictures and do a list of apps to download after installing a new rom because last one was unstable.... you know what I mean? I hate Samsung stock.. but works fine.. I think...
Thanks.

No data/WiFi calling? SGH-T989

I just recently downloaded the latest kitkat carbon nightly rom for my T-Mobile GSII t989. Nice features--but I noticed WiFi/data calling doesn't work. How can I get it to function? Is there anything additional that I can flash to get this feature back?

WIFI calling only works on Touchwiz ROMs. I think the newest Touchwiz roms are Jellybean 4.1.2
There is also nothing you can flash to make it work. cwyman hit it right on the head. Flash back to a Touchwiz based rom and you have your WiFi calling back.
That sucks. Thanks, will do

This is the one I've used on one occasion. It's basically what you would find out of the box, only rooted and de-odexed... There's also other stock based custom roms out there, but I can't say much for those as I never was interested in stock based custom roms.
