Solid dev there. Did great things for the sgs4g. Definitely worth donating to help him get over here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Im sorry but we found one already and he was banned...no further discussion on the topic...unless ur donating to Raver...then good luck on ur search :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Ill donate double digits if he gets a donation above 5 from a mod that way I know he is less likely to be pushed out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
first im sorry this isnt the thread to be putting that in...

second off...

You have a few ways to get proprietary drivers to work with your device

1 from the manufacture (they are in the stock firmwares)

2 From another device of the same board type that has the Firmware you want (eg ics).

3 Samsung releases there driver code for there proprietary drivers (not going to happen)

4 reverse engineer them though machine code disassemble.

your best bet if u want ics before they release ics then use the samsung vendor proprietary drivers for this device...

The rest of the drivers will be compiled from source with values set for this device... (theirs a reason you have source code)..

good thing noone asked what you thought.....beat it chump
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Say what you will about this community but its donated at least 4 phones and a laptop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
i wasn't saying anything bad . Just wonering where the hostility is comeing from anyways back on topic
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Yea...this is why we have a lack of development here..sadly

Ill be having a mod watch over this thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
pretty much..... I dont jump from boat to boat for no reason.... In other words i dev tell pretty much there isnt anyone with the device anymore and i still dev for the sgs4g granted theres few of us left anymore but still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
I still own the sgs4g. The wife uses it. Stock froyo at that. Had it since before cwm was ready for it so I know the quality of your work. Unfortunately there are some serious trolls and assholes in this community. Come with a thick skin is all I can say. When I get home ill donate something. Guess that makes me retarded huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Good job. I would totally donate if I had any money on my PayPal. Sorry :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RetroSA:
You know what, I'm really getting tired of people ****ting up these threads with their troll comments. We all know the lack of development for this phone is largely due to the attitudes of some of the people on the board.

The bottom line is - These developers are putting a lot of time and effort into giving you plenty of options on your phone and you aren't paying a nickel. If you don't want to donate, no one is judging you. But the least you can do is keep your mouth shut and allow the people who would like to see further development and a better atmosphere in this forum and on this phone try to do so.

I've administrated forum before. People that troll like they do here were banned and the forums as a whole were a better place to be. There was a much more positive atmosphere, it was FAR more constructive, and everyone contributed in any way they could. If you couldn't, you kept your nose out of it. This place needs to be regulated a little more diligently. No one wants their opinions stifled, but when you're being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole; you need to be removed from the board.

M&S, and others, thank you for all the hard work you've put into this phone so far. Please realize most people like myself that generally keep their mouth shut truly do appreciate the efforts put forth. Please don't allow the trolls to discourage you or your efforts.

I'll be donating what I can soon. Your previous roms look great, RaverX3X.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sighx:
This subforum was always full of attitude..

Its never going to change.. even after they get ICS. You're likely to have any respect here if lucky.. lol

The sub forum is full of hatred.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatboy547:
Ive donated to eugene n tdj. I just wanna chime in. That wen raver was blind deving. His rom was solid for not even having the device. But we need devs to contually dev. Tdj has n much props to him. But no disrespect to whitehawkws n team kang n also eugene. But theyll dev one rom then sorta work on other devices. I wud love to see raver here but we need some assurance that he'll ck his threads once in a while and respond to users n update. Im not complaining just have seen us donate to 4 diff devs and to not have continuing help when asked in their threads. Thats my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Racing19969:
I would never expect a developer to purchase every device out there !

Quote "I have no problem with people trying to get a dev a certain device as long as people understand that there are no expectations with doing so."

They always say they have no expectations and then when something they want does not happen things change !!

I understand there are multiple forums and multiple developers... I am just giving a general idea...

If they set up a fund for each forum then the donations would go to that forums developers.

And I am talking about Registered Developers, not just anybody that wants to call themselves a developer.

As far as XDA goes, I do not know how many people run the site behind the scenes.

I would imagine a few, and then you have moderators.

Again this is a general idea and it would need to be developed and worked into the site. It is not something that is going to happen overnight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
the relationship between mods and devs is already politicized so im not sure if xda giving devices would be bias free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
I would say what happens to the device when the childish BS in this section gets to you? We get maybe a ROM, and you sell the device and get a few hundred dollars. Several devices have been donated and we haven't seen a whole lot for the money. That money could have been donated to a developer that had been spending time working roms and had his own device. Will requests and questions be treated the same as some of the other developers treat them? I am not judging you personally, I don't know you. But you seem like a good cat. :)

I, for one have not rated the thread, just my thoughts on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
i stuck with the sgs4g for ages when they donated one to me :P even though the bs worse comes to worse cats troll enough ill just have a mod thow the good ole team iron fist at em :P

one thing i dont tollerate is trolls in dev threads
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
It seems to be thick with trolls here. Good luck, am looking forward to seeing your work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Raver, I'm looking forward to seeing your work. Here's my idea. Find a way to get as many people as possible to completely ignore any troll comments, no responses to them whatsoever. I've noticed that **** seems to not get out of hand when the moronic comments aren't acknowledged. How to accomplish this? Idk. But I think it's the only way to go.

Went from a Vibrant to an SGS2, so I never really got to try your projects firsthand, but it seems like a no-brainer to get you on board here. Let's see what you've got to offer!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
I think you are confusing the term "troll" with someone having a different opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
Having an opinion is fine. But when your opinion is filled with derogatory, disrespectful insults that serve no purpose other than causing disruption, than yes you are trolling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Not everyone can afford phones, they are pretty expensive. Its never a bad idea to ask people to donate, only because its an optional decision. There is no minimum or maximum amount to donate. Its called help...and thats what this community is all about. People complain we have no devs, well help them get here.

:-)

M&S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dieuthao01:
On my way to send $20. I don't know RaverX3X but Master & Slave has made a big contribution to the community. I can take Master & Slave's word for it. I don't have that much expectation. But I'm crossing my finger every night that one day, when I wake up, I get to see a fully functional MIUI Rom :). I don't know why we still don't have it, when the AT&T Galaxy S2 is already rocking with MIUI for a while. I know it has something to do with the source code. I hope someone can explain it it in plain English for me. To make the long story short, welcome aboard!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elceedub:
It is very simple. Someone hasn't come along to work on it for you. :cool:

The AOSP development community is in a state of stagnation since ICS released. Nobody wants to finish work on a stable AOSP GB because they want to work on ICS (to be fair, that may not be true with the recent CM nightlies picking back up). But AOSP ICS is blocked on this device because Samsung hasn't released ICS driver source code for this device (because there isn't any yet), and there are painfully few real embedded software developers out there who have the time to develop a driver from scratch, even if they did have specs for the hardware (btw, if someone knows where the specs are, please post up).

I've pulled the Samsung and AOSP GB source and have been studying the diffs in my limited spare time (i.e. that few minutes a day where us married with children workin' folk have time to read a book or clip our fingernails) as a start to getting familiar with the code, but it's not realistic to think that someone else should spend so much time for free just cuz the non-development faction here wants something really badly.

:cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elceedub:
The winner. Geez, I hope that's not true, but I want everyone who's whining about ICS on the t989 and expecting miracles to read the above post. THAT is why you won't see ICS fully working on the t989 unless/until Samsung releases ICS for the t989. If that's the case, there will not be source code for the proprietary drivers, but the .ko's for those devices can be "kang'ed" from the official release into an otherwise AOSP or ****-slapped kang ROM. Highly unlikely someone is going to reverse engineer the proprietary devices to write a from-scratch driver without hw specs for free, or even for a paltry phone bounty (I wouldn't). In the absence of an official release from Samsung, the only other hope is that some other device that uses the same SoC will get ICS and those .ko's can be kang'ed (i.e. the kernel version from that manufacturer happens to use a compatible driver ABI).

I'd love to hear how else it can happen. In the meantime, I'm happy Samsung did a good job on this device's GB ROM. I haven't even rooted yet, as there just isn't any reason to other than to remove CIQ. A first for me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Yeah Qualcomm pretty good software wise but hardware wise is close to none existent data sheets. Nvidia Tegra locks on their data sheets pretty type especially the gpu part of it. This is probably the reason Google went with the T.I omap since pretty much they are open about everything. hummingbird/OMAP/Exynos, if a skilled developer wishes to port a new OS, they have information available.

So if anyone to blame blame Nvida and Qualcomm for being closed source.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NightCalyster:
Honestly i think forums to hold up to stricter guidelines giving out infractions to people that have disrespectful opinions to other devs that contribute to the community. Reason too many people give xda a bad rep. -_-

By the way, personally i think we need ICS rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
Why not just sell your gs2 add those 200 and get yourself a nexus and bam you have ics
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NightCalyster:
It defeats the purpose of having a samsung galaxy s2 if were gonna sell it and get a nexus. The SGS2 has alot of potential.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Is it possible to make an ICS rom without the drivers. Not trying to flame just wondering if its possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] subzerold:
I have a vibrant, it has ics
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
the issue u have with your ics isnt a driver issue its a ril raidio issue

think of it like this

if your kernel was the motor and the modem was the gas tank

the ril radio which seeems to be the issue going by looking at xboarders build would be the line that connects the 2.

without a rebuilt ril it doesnt matter what sees what if they cannot interact
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Sorry for the tech questions but 4g is a radio issue as well that is carrier dependent right? Requires a ATT and Tmobile build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
most drivers which are proprietary are eather used from gb and or kanged from another device with ics provided its the same hardware...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
your radio is fine i assume his build can place and receve phone calls ( i cant test his build personally)

its a ril issue rils are intermediary between your devices hardware and the phones software to connect to the network..

trying to put this in metaphor's that most will understand

without proper ril you loose things like the ability to read your sim card

in ability to place and receive phone calls text messages so on so forth

use data access or lack there of

This. Whats the point of donating if some devs just build roms and hardly update their rom. People are donating you a 500 dollar phone just to build a rom, if thats the case you better stay committed since all these people are practically buying you the phone.

Its the internet, nothing is guaranteed. Give when you can and whats reasonable. Do not sell your personal property, or donate your computer just because you want a dev to dev for your phone.

If you donated and got screwed in the past, move on. If you flashed a device then it bricked your phone. move on. You choose to donate or flash... please lets make ssgii tmobile section peaceful for every one :)
