It won't come to the SGH-T989 unless there is a maintainer that steps forward to help manage it. I'm considering picking this phone up or the 4G Amaze. I haven't decided. If I pick this one up, I'll work on deving and porting CM9 for it and work on being a maintainer. But alas, this comes down to my contract on my Vibrant lol

It is coming to this phone. Cyanogen has this phone personally, and has stated it will be supported.

and yet we don't even have an alpha? while other lesser phones have it already

I';m guessing we might get a ICS by summer because a lot of people have skyrockets.

Cyanogenmod said its "in the oven" for skyrocket and 989 but well behind the other devices they are working on. Mainly due to their build computers getting upgraded. They said a couple weeks and they will be back full speed. Full speed on our devices? Maybe not yet but its coming eventually.

You guys are sure in a hurry for s broken os no ics works perfectly except for the galaxy nexus and nexus s. Which still have major bugs why google put updates on hold. All other devices still have major or bugs. All you guys do here is cry that older devices have it before our device. The longer time you have to develop and work with something. The farther the development team has already have gone.
CM team doesn't not want to be responsible for you not being able to call 911 incase of emergency. Guess what the alpha cm7. People can't hear each other. Unless you have gps on. Which doesn't work all the time. That's a really big major issue. Don't you think?
I mean you can learn how to develop and make your own cm7. But oh wait good luck with that because Qualcomm have their hardware data sheets closed off to the general public. That means even cm team doesn't have access to them. They are waiting for samsung because these are proprietary driver which means even samsung has to wait on Qualcomm.
If you go get a new device you will. Have to wait till source code is released regardless. For the new processors. What's that you will be waiting again for cm yep. While older devices will be running CM9? Yes that's right! Unless source is released.

It was from creeping Google+ if you want to work your way over to the skyrocket side of the forum there's a thread by me talking about it.

Ya know, what bugs me is that the HP Touchpad has CM9. And it wasn't even an Android device to begin with. I mean, come on.
Happily sticking with Darkside 2.5.1 until the official Samsung ICS release.

I don't think that is correct information. The Galaxy S has issues because it was brought over with very little testing, fixes have been pushed to it.
The GNexus is no longer considered a Google device because of the issues with Verizon. It will no longer get updates from Google, only the carrier. Any bugs that have yet to be fixed already will get a update some day. Thats why all the GNexus people are frustrated with Verizon.
GNexus has already been sent to the FCC for approval for Sprint and that one will be the official Google phone.

I believe you are partially correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as it is right now there are two versions of the Nexus: CDMA(Verizon) and GSM. So yes, the Verizon version is no longer supported, but the GSM one still is. That would mean the Sprint version and the GSM version are Google phones.

Google drops full cdma support so sprint and verizion are no longer supported. They will still be updated but anyone with a cdma nexus. No longer has google support the device tree was removed. You can look this up. Galaxy S is closely related to the nexus s. Hardware wise with data sheets released on humming bird processor.

NO ICS OTA Update

I've been patiently waiting to get ICS updated since it was officially announced two weeks ago..and still hadn't received the OTA update. Then after looking at some forums...there was talk about how Sprint/Samsung suspending it...due to various issues being report...I'm kinda glad i didn't get it...but still was wondering when it would arrive to my phone. So I started looking at various sites for some indication that the OTA was really suspended.
But there was never any official announcement..from either companies. So Today, I let my impatience get the best of my without knowing about Sprint announcement today about fixing the known issues and re-pushing OTA update...I called Sprint tech support...they had me do the normal stuff ("Update Firmware, Update PRL, Update Profile, Update Android") and still nothing even though they said they would force the update to my phone...well....I still don't have the update...the tech suggested taking it to the sprint store to have them do a manual update.
The tech put me on hold to consult with another higher level tech and came back with "The OTA is being pushed in waves and that I would eventually get it". I proceed to ask if she knew roughly the timeframe and she indicated that its based on ESN number but she couldn't tell me when it would be pushed to my phone.
I even asked if she knew about Sprint suspending the OTA due to bugs and she indicated that she had nothing in her alerts/records that indicated such...so today hours later I finally see the posting on various sites indicating that there was a suspension of the OTA, Sprint fixing those issues and now re-pushing the update again.....however I still have no update yet.
Anyone still waiting on the update? When do are phones check-in for updates? I'm curious to know what's going on...considering do a factory wipe but not sure if its worth doing? I keep my phone very clean "Stock"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

They did suspend it due to the Swype force close that many users reported to them which appears to be fixed in the 7/31 re-release of FF18.
Unfortunately all the other issues people are having (high battery drain, WiFi will not connect after sleep, etc) have not been addressed.

Well the firmware update button is not what you think it is anyways. I can never remember which button is which off the top of my head but one of them is NOT for the OTA update.

RainMotorsports said:
The update should not install directly over EG30 OTA? Each update zip is a patch to the last OTA. Did your update message actually say FF18 or did it just tell you you have an update. It should want to do EK02 and then EL29 before letting you do FF18. I could be wrong but we have never been leaked an update zip that was for anything other than the last OTA and then the full tar of course for service.

I get you now I thought you meant the button. As there are 2 buttons that seem related to updating and only one of them is. But i see you were saying it said "Android System Update" my bad.

I still have yet to receive the OTA update...is there way to force your phone to check for any updates.
On some phones such as the Nexsus 4G you can enter *#*#2432546#*#* in the phone dialer and your phone will actually do a checkin to the OTA servers and pull down any update OTA updates.
I've tried this on the Epic 4G Touch and doesn't worked.

Go in settings where the prl and profile update and click android update and it will search for available updates or oneclick back to an older version like ek02 or eg30 and it should check for updates when you reboot

Brain storming on how to attract more developers to develop for our phone.

Let me start by saying that I believe we have some of the best developers working on our device. These guys work tireless nights to my sure we have the best ROM for our phones. My question do you guys feel we have enough developers developing for our phone? If not what can we do as a community to attract more developers especially the developers that work on the AOSP Roms. Even though touch wiz is great it does have it limitations. I heard that google wallet is working on some of the cyanogenmod builds. The Galaxy S3 a pethera of developers. Just saying. :angel:

To get more Devs you need a more popular phone. The Note II size isn't for everyone. The SIII has been promoted like crazy and is still pushed hard by Samsung and carriers.
I don't see hardly any advertisement for the GNII. This plus the price tag being around the $300 range doesn't put it at the top of most people lists. Hopefully more will be coming on board soon.
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using XDA Premium.

I suspect what we need is to teach rise of us who have the phone how to develop for it. I know I have tried but without help I am not getting very far. I suspect we have a larger number of users here who are capable and interested in doing this than other phones.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2

Most of my friends want the phone but are currently in between upgrades. Some of my friends wasted there upgrade on the epic touch 4g and now have to wait 2 years to upgrade. I was think creating a funded to help a proven developer to get a Galaxy Note 2 preferable a developer who ported the cyanogenmod to the Galaxy S3. That phone is very similar to our phone so it be a matter of time before the developer figures it out and ports it to our phones. What do you guys think? The problem with our phone it is so new. So we are still in the infancy stages of development.

It's a fantastic phone and people I know love it. But they also tend to buy the GSIII over the Note. The GSIII has been around longer and holiday sales will make even more fly off the shelves.
I'm just saying that not as many people have the Sprint device, that's why the development isn't jumping like crazy. Typically the most popular phones are Flagship phones. Sprints advertising of this phone has been non existent. I've never even seen it shown on their home pages before, that's all I'm saying.

Granted, it's not a Sprint ad, but is is a Note 2 ad. Plus it was a pretty good idea to use him, since his hands make the Note 2 look small

I like this idea. I would love to develop for it but I would need help getting started. I just have one little problem and that is there isn't much I wish to change. I don't have any desire for extra battery nor do I wish to make the phone faster. Sure I modded a few things but this is by far the best device I have had out of the box.

No disrespect to the great developers we have on this site but this is one of the few phones that I actually don't need any development for. It's perfect right out the box, if you're a touchwiz person.

Won't the S-Pen only work on Tw architecture? Why would you put an AOSP ROM on it?

American Music Awards Goes Paperless, Uses Galaxy Note II to Announce Winners

I was thinking the same thing. Don't get me wrong, JellyBomb is an awesome rom but coming from nothing but HTC phones, I'm used to very active development with lots of variety. My girl buys nothing but Galaxy phones and I've always rooted and flashed roms to her phones and I've always seen the Galaxy forums jumpin. The only thing I can think of that this phone has working against it, is its size....it's obviously not for everyone. It's unfortunate because the size grows on you and spec-wise, this phone has unbelievable potential. It's still a baby though...Lets see what happens

I was trying to advise to many people to but the galaxy note 2 international version. Always the international version of a phone has more development but nooooo....everyone called me crazy lol and now they will official release 4.1.2 for xmas I am happy with my choice

I have an AOSP rom and Spen works fine

For those wanting to learn, here is a great place to start with a ton of links: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=322
And honestly as someone (slowly) working on my own rom, this community so far has been, let's call it uninspiring. People bad mouth roms all over the place because it's themed.
If you like stock, then why did you flash it? Is Not a secret that is themed.
And the users over here from what I have seen have been very demanding and don't appreciate much. People aren't using the search function and ask stuff that had been answered. Nobody knows everything, but it helps a lot if you read the threads and do a Google search before asking questions.
End rant. This phone will get more devs, just give it time. Or if you want someone specific, donate to help them get the phone.

Most Twiz ROMs are already up to MA7, and are either testing or waiting for another firmware update before putting more effort in.
Believe me. LJC to MA7 may seem minor... But Samsung completely changed where and how thing on the ui end worked in a substantial pita way... and the thought of having to re invent the wheel yet again is not a pleasant one.

It's mostly cuz of the 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 android core changes, and preparing TW for it's update. It'll make the OTA from the current TW to the new TW more reliable with less issues.

makes sense and i can imagine how hard it is dont think i could ever make my own

I think you might see alot of different ROMs for other devices, due to the number of devices the manufacturer makes. Like when I had an Evo and Evo3D. Devs were porting any new update, or new features from other multiple HTC devices.
The thing is, we have a device that is King of the Hill for now. Made by a manufacturer,that doesn't make a ton of different devices for every carrier. HTC and other manufacturers are starting to follow suit. Making one or two big devices across all carriers. Instead of numerous different models on all different carriers.

I don't know about others but I've been on whomp rom and it's so stable, fast, and energy efficient and just about every feature/mod I need. Variety is great but if there's a rom that does everything I need and is super stable I see no need to change..
the only thing I'm waiting for is a fix for samsung for the lock screen and then key lime pie..

Meh, this phone has plenty enough of options for roms. I personally dont like too many roms that are pre themed, would rather theme it myself to my own liking... thus the beauty of android

My thoughts were it could be that sprints LTE network isn't going as smooth as predicted. And with if tmobile meets their LTE target and has 200 cities covered by the end of year. I know I was looking into making a switch. When I had the epic 4G. A popular dev on that side left. Because his service sucked so much. I don't know if its a factor for every dev. I'm sure each has made that decision for what works best in there area. But I can't imagine a slow network attracting the most devs.

Yeah but seeing some of the other numbers from the other three that 400kbps on lte. Looks like sprint will be in trouble.

I hear you, especially when there's something that's not available for this device. I'd still like to see Touch wiz tablet hybrid Rom, it seems everyone has this... Also agree 4g is def must. The only reason I kept Sprint was for The Lte experience & ultmd data! I was an sd card slot away from signing with T-Mobile also Damnnnnn you nexus...

Basically the same here. Using Whomp along with Morphology (thanks to Mack for the port) there isn't much else a rom could do for me until KLP comes out. At this point (and I'm NOT trying to take away from anyone's current work) most *new* roms are just re-skins of the same work that we already have access to.

Ummm I may be a little partial an didn't wanna say anything cuz I'm doing some of the work. . But since nobody mentioned us.. the labrats rom is getting fairly themed. Half dozen color options or so.. more added daily or weekly. .
The guys leave it stock tweaked so its not themed from the start.
Just my half a cent

I think that it all depends on what your looking for. If you want the best of both worlds as far as customization, functionality and performance I would suggest MacksROM. As of lately its been the rom of choice for me.

Rumor: Kit-Kat Officially Coming To Optimus G

The Android 4.4 KitKat announcement sure caught a few… million people off guard early last month, which is why there’s little Google can do to shock the world anymore. Or is there? Well, how about if I told you there’s a good shot LG’s Optimus G will be one of the first ever smartphones to be officially bumped to Android 4.4? Would that be shocking enough?
Android-KitKat-4.4
Maybe not shocking, but definitely unexpected. For a handful of reasons. One, the G is nearing its first birthday, being by all intents and purposes an “aging” handheld. Two, the 4.7-incher is still stuck on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so one would assume a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade would be in the cards before a 4.4 makeover.
And three, does anyone even know the Optimus G exists? Not that it has aged very badly, but it’s, you know, almost archaic compared with current high-enders. It sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 MP rear-facing camera in one of two configurations, plus a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU that’s no longer the proudest stallion in Qualcomm’s stable.
Not to mention it’s been followed by not one, but two top-notch LG devices, the Optimus G Pro and G2, the second of which is highly praised by a number of reviewers and simple tech-savvy individuals alike.
But let’s back up for a second. What makes us think the Optimus G will get an Android 4.4 bump in the first place? An alleged private Facebook conversation between an everyday LG user, I presume, and the guy (or gal) in charge of the company’s official French account.
The exchange is pretty straightforward, with LG Electronics France very confidently claiming the Android 4.4 update is planned for “this October”, so there you go, case closed, congrats you lucky Optimus G owners.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but not so fast, because I’m not buying it. For one thing, this is a private FB conversation (emphasis on “private”), meaning it could have very easily been doctored since there’s no real, palpable proof it ever happened.
And even if it happened (jeez, I’m starting to sound like a character on the show “Newsroom”), social media people have been known to mess up dates, names and timeframes. What if they were actually talking about a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade and misinterpreted the question?
Then again (now I’m just grasping at straws), it’s not sooo far-fetched to think LG will get a front-row seat at the 4.4 rollout party. After all, they are making the Nexus 5, they’ve also helped build the N4, so maybe they’ve asked Big G for a bit of preferential treatment for a change. Could that be the case, what do you guys think?

Sweet... Can't wait....
Hoping for slow motion to be cooked in..

Well if I were the optimistic type about these things then I would say awesome, but I don't know. Is lg part of the Android open handset alliance (or whatever they call it) that guarantees updates for 18 months after a phone comes out? Even if they are anyone remember the Motorola fiasco? Motorola says they'll upgrade a bunch of handsets then after those handsets are sold they backed out, making a lot of people very angry. Idk I would take this with a grain of salt

lg doesnt exactly have an amazing track record of updating devices.
they had teh nexus 4 which hardware similar enough to this should have meant easy updates to 4.2/4.3 for them, yet nothing...

yeah no joke aside from partition differences and screen shape/size i thought all the internals were the exact same?

I think what it is is some apps don't work on 4.3 like HBO go cause my buddy has a nexus and he can't use it thinks his phone is rooted but on my ootimus I got it and starz go and encore etc so idk lol

There is almost no possible way they would would jump 2 versions, one maybe but two, I doubt it.

Hey...we can dream, right? But honestly, with the great DEVs we have backing this phone, I have no doubt we'll see a 4.4 custom ROM in the future.

Eh, Google trolled us a bit. I like Kit Kat's and KLP so...it doesn't matter to me lol
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

oh 4.4 aosp will more than likely be done fairly quickly, the big shift was gb to ics and it lefty a lot of devices behind. with cm9+ the code changes have been easier to adapt and make it so that we can enjoy 4.3 without any hiccups

While I am always open to upgrade/updates I am always looking to see what kind of changes are brought. If there is no new features / performance improvements then I couldn't care one way or another.
Now if you releasing an upgrade / update to fix bugs and security issues then by all means I am all for it.
Guess my point being I'm not going to get to excited about it till I see cause to do so.
Just saying...
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

I'm sure with Sprint, We won't get an update till around December.

I just read a report that the "minimum system requirements" have been lowered in order to support older phones, so that's a good sign. Also, from the leaks that I've seen, this is way more than just a minor improvement like 4.2 and 4.3 was.
Also, even if we get 4.4, I'll wait for an AOSP rom. I just can't imagine getting the full kit Kat experience with a skin on top of it.
