Just Thought id share. The skyrocket roms work on our phone too. Just flashed the Alien ROM just to see. Everything worked fine, granted there was some att crap in wifi settings that is useless to us, but at least we know we can use their stuff too. I also flashed jugs kernel with the rom as Im sure the kernel is different, but maybe not. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Oh, they just got an ota to 2.3.6 yesterday, ill post the system dump here in a few. Hopefully the devs will move to that base.

*I thought I'd throw a zip similar to what they have together. I think this zip will do the trick. Give it a shot and let me know if auto rotate is still borked. I dont think it will be but I have CM7 setup and working audio so I dont want to ruin that :P Let me know and Ill fix issues if there is any.

Conversion

*NOTE: This is for Samsung ROMS only. Do not try it on CM7 or anything aosp.

By the way, the Alien ROM for the skyrocket kicks ass on our phone. I flashed it with whatever kernel it comes with and I've noticed a reduction in the stutter.

It does have a an issue with our accelerometer it seems though.

Its the same as what we have. Its in between stock and Juggernaut I'd say. Has reboot options and stuff. Mostly stock. Seems pretty responsive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dan.follett:
I tried but its just perfectly reversed.

The Alien Rom is excellent as far as I'm concerned, if we could figure the orientation issue out, it would be just about perfect.

I've been using the sky ics rom + synergy kernel on our t989 for half a day now and have had absolutely 0 problems. while it's obviously not as good as true vanilla ICS, it does a pretty damn good job of taking what it can from ICS and removing a lot of the touchwiz crap I don't care about. it's certainly my favorite ROM for our phone (especially given some of the problems I've had with cm7)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
When using skyrocket tons or porting them over is there a way a to set up a build.prop script to get rid of the att stuff ? So the phone recognized it as tmobile for market purposes and aesthetics.

If I want to flash a Skyrocket rom whats the steps? I am a little confused with how to do it and the order of doing it because theres a conversion file that needs to be flashed. Not sure when to flash it, etc.

Someone needs to make a official thread on this and a list of verified roms that work with our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vegasden:
As he said in the OP, try anything except CM. I did the ICS Rom. I wiped, flashed the Rom and let it boot.

I then went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed a T-Mo kernel (Darkside) and the conversion zip from the OP. Reboot and enjoy. The only thing missing was WiFi calling, as far as I could tell.

No idea what an Official thread is. If you mean to sticky it, that's up to the mods.

.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Thank you buddy! :)

I know some roms require some time that is recommended not to touch it after it loads for the first time. Does this apply with those, or would they be mentioned on those roms thread? Does it matter which kernel we can use? Other then the wifi calling has there been any known issues with anything else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vegasden:
I did wait the 10 or so minutes after all the flashing. Always kind of good to do it no matter what to let things settle in.

As long as it's a kernel found in this forum for our phone, I don't think it matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Ok, sounds good. Just wondering, why does none of the CM roms not work?

I am not sure if anyone has asked this yet, but I am curious. Since I am using AT&T, most of the T-Mobile optimized roms are not very useful to me, so..

Can I take a stock Skyrocket ROM, and replace the files inside the ROM zip with the ones provided in this thread and flash through CWM. Or does the order of flashing a Skyrocket ROM first and then the conversion ZIP make/break it (scripts?)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbinvb:
So the conversion zip is basically only a hercules kernel. If you want a Tmo rom on your ATT phone, pick one of them and then flash an ATT kernel then alter the apn settings to get service.

Flash the rom of your choosing first, then flash an att kernel. reason for that is most all roms here include a tmo kernel with the rom and if you were to flash an att kernel first it would just get overwritten
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] niftydl:
Its the other way around. I have the SGH-T989 phone unlocked on AT&T service. So I do not need wifi-calling, etc. The Skyrocket radio/ROMs seem to be the best performance wise for me, but the orientation bug/etc are not fixed unless I flash the conversion on top of the AT&T ROMs.

I really would just like to clear up is whether replacing the files inside the original AT&T ROM with the files from the conversion ZIP will cause any problem with permissions/scripts.

Thanks for your contribution to my quest. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
conversion is just kernel and gps config.

You may use cwm flashable CUSTOM skyrocket rom. but not try to install odin flashable full stock skyrocket rom, because it contain bootloader.

Technically speaking - yes, you may use with your t989 any CWM-flashable custom skyrocket rom with t989 kernel. But not try to install via Odin skyrocket full stock roms because it's containg bootloader and you'll brick your phone.
