Here is an update guys. I found this in youtube and this is exactly what I was talking about. Anyone know if this can be made possible for our phone?

Hey guys,
I have been seeing a lot of people talking about the Xperia's launcher, icons and overall system UI and I was wondering if it was possible to bring something like that over to our device.
There is an ICS version on the dev thread but it is very outdated and looks nothing like Xperia save for a few icons and widgets.
Anyone know if it's possible to get something like that for JB? Or if we can at least theme a ROM to look like it?

if you run AOKP or any of these aosp ROMs its easy putting a Experia theme on all you have to do is download it and apply example....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.sonyuxp&hl=en and you download the experia launcher and your good to go

wouldnt get to home screen after the set up. and it seems only half themed, the frameowkr-res.apk is aosp but com.htc.resources.apk is sense style.

Im loving the development work that is going on for our beautiful TMobSGS2, but I'm surprised I havent seen a ICS port yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus images being released.
Is anyone working on this in secret, or are there any other ICS roms that happen to work on our phone?
I would truly just love a rooted stock ICS rom. thats my dream at the moment. I dont know how to improve on ICS except switches in the notification bar, which is easy enough.
I doubt we will have a good working ICS before atleast a month from now. That is if we even get a stable one.
ICS came out two weeks ago on galaxy nexus...if you really want it then buy a galaxy nexus.

Are there going to be any pure ics roms made for galaxy s2. Currently using a vibrant with pure ics running, love pure ics just want a faster phone. Saw recent video running ics on galaxy s2 with no visible changes nothing like nexus. I suppose it its because of touch wiz. Is there a dev working on pure ics like what is on nexus? Trying to figure which phone to get. Thanks for your comments in advance.

theres gotta be a million people working on a rom for it, the sources are out.
just below your thread is posted about how it's coming officially. If someone doesn't make it stable before the end of q1 [pfffft] at least samsung will have it out

There should be some roms soon. Best you may be able to hope for is a CM based rom. Not pure ICS but pretty close

I think its funny how ppl wt samsung phones want sont launchers and vice versa.
When I fist got the sgsII I was like man Touch wiz is awesome,I dont know what everyone is *****ing about,but now Im like Tw huh lol
But the T-989 no regrets here it will be a while "I think" before I'll be looking for a newer device. The note is nice but im 5'9" and 150 lbs it looks like I have a 10" tablet on my hip
Do any of those launchers support ICS style folders? I'm running ADW launcher mostly for that reason. I don't really use the fancy transitions and all of that.

Looks very cool I just don't know if I would want to have everything jammed into the screen like a tablet all of the time
It is the same thing as the tablet mode that we have in the themes and apps section. The OP for the rom is saying that its not just a build.prop edit because with the gnex you can change the DPI and something else in the build.prop, and it will default to tablet mode. In our case, I think the services.jar file is edited, to create the real tablet mode. I tell you what, get the OP's wallpapers, flash cm9 and the tablet mode, apply the wallpapers and tell me what you think......

They have same GPU.
Reading through the original thread. The positive results were negligible at best. many people were experiencing lower scores and lines and other artifacts when playing some games.
So probably not worth the soft brick or worse, to find out if it's compatible with our device.

Actually all it did was replace a few lib files which wouldn't brick the phone. So you, please be quiet. Because YOU don't even know what would happen. Lib's are coded files that are linked to kernel for both system and kernel work. THAT is what he changed, but he cannot hard brick his phone like that.
billydroid said:
Ok this is absurd. Alphadog did not flash for fear of bricking his phone. That's why he was asking for other people with "balls" to flash it. Also saying Ita for cm9, it's not.
Now since this guy didn't trash his phone. He knew everything was going to be fine.
You should not try and talk people into flashing stuff not specifically for our phones. Especially when you yourself won't do it.

Well I got smart and looked over the zip and found out it was just libs, so right there I knew nothing was going to happen. But, if we are going to fight about an ICS Driver update, that shows the level of where the T989 community is going.
