Android L Discussion - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Does anyone think our phone will be able to run Android L? Or is it time to retire this phone and buy a new one?

Who knows. So far every update has been brought to the S2 from the devs.
But....the s2 is quite dated now. If you can get a new phone, I would. You'll be amazed. Lol
The Moto X and N5 are great, and cheap. If buying outright that is.

I am positive that our phone will receive Android L (although it may have to wait until its pushed into AOSP). There are numerous devs providing wide range of different Roms for our device. I find it extremely unlikely that all devs will discontinue support for a device whose hardware can support Android L. When KitKat was released a Cyanogenmod 11 ROM was made available in less than a week.
If you wish to upgrade, dev support should not be one of the reasons you choose to do so.

That is a link to a thread i started that should help endure the time before we get an Android L ROM.

I'm sure that we'll get it at some point in time.

Yeah I agree. But I don't think we will until its available in AOSP. Porting the preview images from the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 4 hasn't been completed yet which doesn't give me much hope for our Hercules receiving a port from the Nexus 5 images. Then again this is a massive update so porting is bound to take longer than it did for KitKat.
I'm dying to get my hands on Android L though .-.

I do know there's a group of people who have it working on the global version of the S3. They're still working to bring it to the US.

What ever happened to that? Did anyone ever get it running?
I stopped keeping up with it. I've been using AOKP on this phone and I'm done with manufacturer's UIs.

When I see at Cm site and forum phones like lg optimus one, htc desire or samsung galaxy mini I feel awful.
How this phones and many other low spect phones do have CM and we don't.
We all know that SGY is better than mini(not such a big deal) or htc desire(froyo, lower screen resolution) or lg optimus one(king of lag and bugs, froyo).
And I wonded how are those drivers so important that a lot lower phones are getting higher and us lower?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and help me figure out this mistery...

We need drivers for boot and the screen.

Our gpu and cpu are configured in such a way that we can't use half of its power...
Our gpu is good one....
Devs are trying hard...
And CM developers are not so expert to make one for our device....
Even all devs of sgs3,2,1, galaxy nexus, nexus s, nexus 7, htc one x, note 1, 2, Galaxy tab, many more...
Will be unable to make a fully working cm widout drivers...
Globally recognised and certified NOOB
But has anybody thought about creating drivers?
It is an option...

Question? Better go to [Help Thread] by Deadly ​
you should have gotten a mini,
it's reality that we don't have CM for this device,
it does not bother me though,
we have a lot of custom roms though not as good as a stable CM could be but it's better than nothing,
there are nearly 2,000+ android devices and only about 30(?)+ has a CM and nearly 300(?)+ has developed custom OEM roms,
so consider us luckier than nothing
It's funny how ace has drivers and we don't
ace just has a bigger screen than y everything else is same

Nope. And it won't see it either.
4.1.2 is about it for our tablet.
G2x-CM7 Nightly 11/25/12 Build, Trinity ELP Kernel
Its not worth the time for me to build it blind, it doesn't run any better and if it's your wife's a100 you don't need the users. Other then being a higher number it offers nothing worth the hours to do it when 4.1.2 runs just fine. Plus the changes Google made again are just stupid.
And no, its not because I can't do it, I've built and run cm10.1 for a few days now, one of the first in the world.
IMO I'd do it blind then get blasted for no boots, boot looping, then hardware working less then 100%, crashes and whatever. So aside from trash talking I'd get nothing out of it.
I've said it before, unless someone hands me an a100 I'm not doing more blind work for it.

It's sad that android dev for the touch pro has halted.

I still think this device can run kitkat, because kitkat and the latest jelly are suposed to work on low end and low RAM devices right?
It's a sad thing

Yesh!!!
A developer that shows interest!
But you should know that you might need some kernel knowledge.
Atm I'm quite busy with prepping for upcoming tests, so I won't be able to test flash currently.
Have you got a touch pro yourself?
I know kitkat might seem sluggish on our phone, but ART seems very promising, even for our devices!
It seems that ART improved performance for about 250%!

Yes, I own a Touch Pro Raphael.
I will test
I have a TP and I would test. If anyone could point me to a thread to learn how to code I would try to pitch in some besides testing too.
I also have a Touch pro, altough i dont know anything about rom cooking, i would love to test a rom!

[Rom] CyanogenMod 10.1

This is CyanogenMod 10.1 with fixed blur, hopefully suitable as a MIUI base.

Please give feedback so I can fork MIUI asap :d

I'm a member of the MIUI porting team, I built this CM modded for use a MIUI base so I intend to port it to this device..
I just need to know if it works so I can complete the 5 minute procedure needed to bring it here

Thank you! I know the software is fine but the only question is if the kernel is right, if this works it will only take 5 minutes to fork MIUI to this device.
I would have opened a MIUI thread but don't want to be deceptive like "test this CM first"
