Awesome! :D Only thing holding me back is that he says not to paste this in the SGH-T989 forums, so even though every ROM is compatible, I wonder if there's something that wouldn't work on our phones with the ROM (other than auto rotation, that is).

It works fine i just dont want people taking my work

Is there a conversion process necessary for using Skyrocket roms on the T989?

Or are they happily interchangeable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Not really needed because data n GPS and all that doesn't work. Now if all that did then yes u would need one. He's just showing us a preview. I played with it for awhile it is very nice. After I was done just restored my jugs backup. So to answer your question yes u can flash it u will be fine....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
So it seems it's the same issues most people have issues with thus far. Glad to see someone perusing it. Look forward to your forward progress, you have my confidence.

GREAT work, very impressive.

Already we're seeing some very early, but promising ICS builds for the skyrocket and now one for the t989. There's a lot of work to be done, but as more and more work is done, more and more people will be able to contribute and get things working faster and faster. It's like a snowball...it starts small but once it gets rolling there is no stopping it! :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarkB709:
Yeah. The i9000 IS the samsung galaxy s2. Our phones (T989) is the galaxy s2 hercules, or s2x depending on whether you're with t-mobile or telus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Samsung will send the update to the carriers by April then they usually take 3-6 months to start rolling it out.

In that case, my phone is up for sale lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Lol for what? An amaze that has less development than we do? Other than that your gonna be making a huge downgrade if you are staying with TMobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Im with Telus and they have the Gnex

All ive wanted is to be able to run CM, and now it feels like we wont have a fully working CM till what? the summer? There are already CM9 builds for the Nexus, there are CM9 builds even for some of the Galaxy S 1's...

We cant even get a fully working 7, and im not sure why they dont just build that since it doesnt look like well be getting 4.0 for a long time.

This is exactly where the negative Image of Android comes from. Extreme fragmentation. Theres talk of Android 5.0 already and only one phone has 4.0. Id probably be happier with an iPhone at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thecolorifix:
Wow, really? The negative Android image comes from the fact that there's ONE non-stock ROM that that this quite new phone doesn't run yet?

I know it sucks only having 20 different gingerbread ROMs to choose from on the best Android phone ever made, at least for the next couple weeks till a stable ICS ROM materializes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
People like you make me rage.

A) CM is coming. Samsung JUST RELEASED OUR SOURCES not too long ago.

B) ICS Came out 2 months ago. Cool your jets. It takes time to make a fully working build.

C) Extreme fragmentation? I think not. See B. It takes time, sir.

D) iPhone? really?

E) If you want some development so badly, Learn to dev. It's not like these people get paid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thecolorifix:
LOL, glad to see someone was as bothered by that as me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The nexus s is officially supported and the other devices been out way longer than our device. I don't think I ever saw a phone just released and have the latest os unless it was a nexus device. Go get a nexus but Google screwed up that as well. Your waiting for samsung then your waiting for developers. For ics.

Ics yes its cool but it's not going to change your anything really better for the user performance that's about it for the user. Other than unless you want to use ics apps which isn't alot of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] merlino211:
Wow what a TROLOLOLOL.... CM9 is on it's way and the latest will MAYBE be April for it... Which is a stones throw away. You people who whine are hilarious. Seriously. Steve (Cyanogen) himself has a t989... If you think STEVE is not going to build for one of his own devices, you are just lulzy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Source was not for our phone. The 4.0 source was available well before its official release so samsung had time. I call it extreme when only one phone has support for it. The iPhone doesnt have screen issues, an out of date OS. Every android phone has some kinda issue. I also wasnt blaming OUR dev's, im blaming the likes of Samsung and manufacturers. Lets not forget that samsung is also known not to fix things after release. When the 2.3.3 update was released for my GS1, not only was 2.3.5+ already out, they released it with tethering broken and it still hasnt been fixed.

The appeal of the iPhone is it will always just work, and youll always have the latest software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I really like the combination of D) and E). You question why he would get an iphone then point out that if he really wants an update to go learn how to dev.

Thats a great sell for android phones

....and that is why I laugh at everybody on the Mapple camp....yup that and the "Windows always crash"....well, if the "nice" ppl at Mapple ever had to deal with small issues of making an OS that works half the way Windows can on so many machines with so many configurations and so on, that day maybe they will earn my respect, they're just a bunch of fascist lazy pigs, the only reason things work on the miPhone is because they don't have to make new drivers for "every" version of of the phone and that goes for all the parts as well, that's why they lock every phone and hate when ppl JB the damned thing, and nop JB doesn't gives u freedom cause JB is not like rooting, u don't have to root an android phone to add a new launcher that will change the look and how ur phone works, but u need to JB just for that on a miPhone, if u feel so strong about "How good it works" then sire pls save urself some time and just get a miPhone and stay there forever.

No one taught you about run on sentences. The difference here is im not an Android fanboy, or hvae any brand loyalty. Im pointing out where Android is failing royally and theres no denying its a fail and people are raging over it.

As for you, your post wasnt read beyond 2 lines since its so poorly written.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
What takes long is making takings the source and making drivers new drivers for the hardware. Ics is essential not a upgrade its more like a new Android os. You could complain about updates but unlike Rom developers. Manufacturers have to build each Rom to a specific carrier needs. Once that is done. Then carriers need to test and make sure their bloatware works with their device.

Google ensures that their gsm version is pentaband able to work on other carriers. Since cdma is no longer supported. You can expect to see the next nexus on tmobile or at&t. Google handles it usually well. But since ics and galaxy nexus and verizion mess. The updates have been chaotic for both the nexus s and galaxy nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Ive been reading that

My carrier has the CDMA version which worries me a bit..can never really have a true AOSP from what im reading. Well see, ill probably hold out a bit longer. There will be better 4.0 phones in the future as well..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
This only one device has ics crap is on my last nerve. THAT I KNOW OF, the galaxy nexus, nexus s, transformer prime, xoom, and some junky Huawei phone all have it officially. That's FIVE right there. Just stop this one device nonsense. And twice as many devices have ics leaks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Where are you reading that Telus had the CDMA GNex? My father has it and he's got a SIM card and everything. Telus hasn't been on CDMA for a while, been GSM for a good couple of years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
My vibrant has a fully working version of ics. And apple hasn't released the new version of their iOS yet either because its still a beta. There is always a newer version of any OS because they are always progressing. The only phone that is updated immediately from anyone is a current nexus. Even iPhones are months behind, with older hardware, and no open sourced anything. Instead of needing the next best thing, read up on what makes ICS different, grab some popcorn and chill. My vibrant has half the response of this phone and it's overclocked and running ICS. I'm more than happy with 2.3.6 running this smooth while stock.

And of course there is an android 5.0 ... I would be surprised it there was an ios 6.0 started already as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
This is just dishonest or misleading by comparing beta versions to release versions. Neither Google nor Apple release betas to the general public.

Apple are up to date for at least 3 years after their releases. Its one of the strengths of that phone. It has weaknesses too but updates are its strength. If google got their stuff together and made it so that android devices where as updated as iPhones , it would cream iPhones but the reality is Google hasnt got their stuff together.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vision77:
As long as there is innovation and competition NO tech company should have any feelings of having their stuff together...(see BlackBerry & Nokia) Oh and if Apple had its stuff together it wouldnt spend so much money trying to kill android and then make its own interpretation (copy) of one of androids key features(the dropdown notification bar)...google has not mastered the art of good/simple user experience....while apple has not mastered the art of the truly customizable/unrestricted user experience....As far as hardware goes (when it comes to tech) its damn near obsolete when it reaches the endusers hands because the continuous improvements/innovation in technology....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Well I posted the truth about how all iPhones are up to date but it usually just becomes an apple bashing occasion instead of questioning why google doesnt get at last half of their devices updated. I know most post will just continue to bash Apple. Whatever I am neither an android nor apple fanboy. I just calls it as I see it and less than 1 percent market share for ICS is pathetic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vision77:
I use apple and android devices....I am a fan of innovation....and if you really want to pin the blame on the slow rollout of androidOS updates on anyone then blame the device makers and carriers as they take the most time getting the updates out to us.....and for them and their shareholders they feel like its in their best intrerest to stagnate these updates because it would cannibalize new hardware sales.....See the hell that got raised when samsung danced around updating the vibrant while releasing damn near the same hardware(vibrant 4g)....the problem is that most smartphone users are ignorant, thus allowing updates and innovation (especially here in the US) to be trickled out to them if at all....the remedy is education and to fight back with our wallets IMHO...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Those fanboys raging on me got nothing but laughs from me. Theyre in their own reality distortion field.

But yes, the software rollout for ICS has been pathetic. If 5.0 even rolls out in 2012 it will create even more fragmentation the likes weve never seen.

Ive decided Ill hold onto this until iPhone 5/other androids roll out/even some Windows Phones that are multicored. If we dont have a nice stable CM or ICS by then ill just sell the phone. Its an easy sale thats for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Unless google restricts hardware you will never see all up to date devices. Blame the carriers not google. If manufacturers could keep all devices the exact same we will have updates. But any little switch to drivers for one carrier to another extends the process. Carriers pay a silly amount to have the iphone on their network. Android phones they do not. If carriers didnt have the control over android headsets and the oem had control then there would be updates.

This is why the sensation, samsung galaxy s2 gets updates , and the droid line? Not to sure on motorola devices.

Mircrosoft has full controll on their devices. Closed source just like ios.

They also give an initialtive to carriers to sell their products.

What you really need to get mad at is the carriers with all this bs changing devices on how they come and internals. Not your manufacturers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Yes, currently we should be mad at the carriers. But overall the blame is on google. Period. In the Genesis of Android they should have set it up to not work the way it does with releases. They are the only ones to blame in the end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
From a consumer standpoint, yes be mad at Google. But we do need to remember that they are a business, and business is all they care about. They make more money doing it the way they do, and in the end money is all that matters when running a business. I'm not saying I like it this way as a consumer, but if any of us were Google we would be doing the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
You may want to research that statement. iOS betas are available to developers which isn't hard to download on your own. Also each release of android was released with a letter or dessert name. Do you know what b was? Android beta. Released on the g1 as android 1.0. Not dishonest or misleading when I'm using fair comparisons. The iOS beta is only available on 2 devices. The newest version of android is available on 2 devices. Seems fair to me. Google treats the nexus as a beta device and sends a defined product to the manufacturer.

And just to clarify something else. My modded vibrant is 10times better than a JB iPhone 4. And my stock GS2 is light years faster than a 4s

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbutt:
you won't be at any disadvantage. you can root now, flash what you want. if & when an ics update comes out, a lot of times, there's a stock, rooted one that someone will upload (stock update that you can flash that doesn't lose root), or, even better, is there will be roms based off of the update, so you get the best of both worlds:custom ics rom.

I'll actually answer your question: it works for us, sort of. There are the glitches listed in the Skyrocket forum, plus no auto-rotate. I don't know why so many people come to a forum just to answer questions without answering them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
The reason being is because many are just ignorant lazy people who want info to be spoon-fed to them. The information is already out there, its a matter of searching.

Sure, samsung's won't, but I am sure at least one of our developers will try to make it more AOSP like or even just port over CM9 since they will have drivers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kwiggington:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
you are still not comparing apples to apples. The apples to apples comparison is ICS to iOS 5 market share. You cant compare the number of models its on because there are only 7 apple devices ever released; thats why you have to compare market shares for the OS in its respective class of devices.

If 5 more android ics devices with ics compared to 3 devices with iOS and expect that to be anything other than misleading since apple has only ever released 7 devices.

Im also not sure what the last sentence has to do with update availability

Because am official ICS build, TW or not, means that devs can easily build an AOSP build. Look at all the Dewizzed GB builds over in the Development forum.

As a quick aside, anyone on T-Mobile who wants 4G and AOSP ICS, just get a Sensation. ICS already leaked, and there's plenty of Senseless ROMs that run great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
Yuck. Why would you give up an awesome device and go with something as flawed as the sensation just to get ICS. It's way smarter to just be patient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
Seriously. This phone runs better than any HTC phone I've played with anyhow.

Be patient and don't be so greedy guys. This phone is already one of THE top 5 phone that can do pretty much anything that's not outside of Android.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
that would be awesome . The GB wifi and sdcard files seem to work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheBoldImperator:
None of those Dewizzed ROMs are actually truly AOSP, though. They're just TouchWiz ROMs with some bits and pieces removed. A lot of the TouchWiz framework is still there, effectively.

To get a truly AOSP ROM, you have to compile directly from the source code, like Xboarder did. The real reason we're excited for an official ICS is because we'll be able to use the drivers and various other bits of code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbutt:
I understand what getting an official update means in terms of potential future development. I chose my words incorrectly. I moreso meant that while it may be 'exciting', I don't see the need to have 30 threads asking about ics on this device.

This in no way is meant to take away from xboarder. I am extremely grateful & thoroughly impressed with his talent & dedication. It's something I could never do. Props to him.
