try again

Not sure where I read this for the USA based Tmbobile variant at all. This is just another confusion amongst the various phones scattered throughout the world. Pretty sure the Tmobile UK version is completely different but this author has a terrible way of explaining what he's talking about. Don't hold your breath yet. Believe it when you see it. Back to the topic at hand. Rom is fantastic. Can't wait for kernel source to come out to get the real magic. Great job again Raver!!!:D

Edit: as to not clutter I'll keep my comments here. Nowhere does this state it's for the US version at all. I see nothing about it being for hercules. Tmobile is also Tmobile in other parts of the world. I've seen tons of these articles about the Tmobile Galaxy S2 which means nothing until they say the "US VARIANT OF THE TMOBILE S2" There are some crappy reporters out there and this one might just be reporting old news. Like I said until it's in my hot little hands there will be no proof and I won't believe it. If I'm wrong then who loses? No one!!!

A my bad link was having issues this one works: http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/62999-t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-finishes-ice-cream-sandwich-update

and the headline specifically states:

T-Mobile Galaxy S II finishes Ice Cream Sandwich update

Especially when you see this "Users should be receiving automatic notifications of the upgrade, but there is the option to manually check for updates through the phone's Settings menu."

in the article meaning it should be being pushed out VERY soon [if you have not seen it already] and it is awesome to be OTA, also be VERY careful if you upgrade to stock ICS you will lose Super User and will need to boot recovery and flash super user to get it back, also may have issues if you are not running a stock ROM already as I am sure Raver has tweaks and other things [like init.d that would break on upgrade until those elements are baked back in and released as a custom ROM]

Which means the source for ICS on the SGH-T989 [hercules / Tmobile Galaxy S2]

is complete. What does this mean for you, well if you own a T989 it is a tmobile S2 and they have finished the code work SO INSTEAD of a SKYROCKET leak being ported over and patched we should now see a leak SPECIFIC to the hardware [meaning autorotate, GPS, Gyroscope, and Magnotometer [which are all installed upside down or otherwise not the same orientation as our T989 on the T989D [skyrocket] as well as the Bluetooth and audio echo issues and finally WiFi calling have a lot of the bugs worked out nicely and make it MUCH easier for Yaldak and Raver to then put their magic on it!

Please if you would like to continue an op ed discussion PM me if we continue this it will be off Topic for this thread most likely.

This is literally the first 2 sentences of that article:

"After a long delay, Samsung's Galaxy S II line is getting the newest version of Android. After bringing the update to its UK subscribers, T-Mobile will be among the last in the Galaxy S II family to enable Android version 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich."

Tmobile UK has the Exynos version. This does nothing to help us out in the least. Tmobile was the last of the Euro carriers to update the SGSII.

One thing I've enjoyed about flashing many ROM's is I learn something with each one.

Like now I know how to edit an APN. Seems very snappy so far Raver, nice job. Will post any logcats if something crazy happens.

Can we flash this rom with rom manager or it has to be with CWM??

rom manager hmmm.

I stopped using rom manager to flash as it doesn't wipe system. You may be able to do this from one release to the next but I'd definitely use darkside superwipe (search forums for the cwm flashable zip) and wipe cache,data,and davlik. I found any other way causes issues. As far as I know Rom manager can't do all that right now. It's a shortcut like you said so really it's about a gui vs. manual. The gui has less options as per the norm of most computer related stuff. That being said I love rom manager and use it for flashing my cwm as I'm super lazy and hate doing that manually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mysticfrog:
Well let me ask you all a question... Is it necessary to flash via odin the new cwm?? The touch based one?? Is it necessary... Will all future roms be using this method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Devilman539:
That app sir is garbage. Nothing works on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I know of 2 versions of touch (could be more) out there. I went the easy way and installed ROM Manager, then paid the two bucks and installed Touch CWR via ROM Manager. Way easy, plus giving a couple bucks to a Dev.

One thing I thought strange about it though, it had me install standard CWR even though I all ready had it installed, before it would let me flash the touch version. But it flashed after that and all seems great. Now it's just getting use to the new touch version :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ultratek:
I believe it does do all the above if you tick the 2nd and 3rd check boxes then pay attention to the cmd line in touch cwr. I have noticed it will wipe cache dalvik data - and system when it goes to install new rom. The maker of touch cwr is the same as rom manager right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
hey you may be right if you pay for it I don't have the paid version. However I'm thinking about buying the touch recovery since I have used it a lot. Maybe it's a paid version thingy. Even so I have had problems and use darkside superwipe as it does the trick every time. I've had dingleberries left over not being thorough. Nothing like wasting a bunch of time flashing and restoring apps to have some strange force close happen on you. I'll take the extra 2 minutes to save me an hours frustration. :)

yup :-(

it breaks the dialer and contacts like they are missing completly which are odd,

i put in system/app and fixed permissions, rebooted into recovery deleted cache's and fixed permissions again and nothing

o well no biggie just trying to spice things up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Same thing ROM manager reboots and uses cwm. Though if you read install directions you should use recovery menu to flash darkside super wipe, kernel cleanser, and then flash ROM. Then reboot allow full boot, reboot recovery clear cache and dalvick cache and reboot to install

working on experimental 9 which i should have the stock aosp browser contacts framework should hopefully be 100 percent de wizzed looking at the rest of the files i can remove from touch wiz and there dependencies. making aosp from touch wiz is convoluted reverse hacking but its fun :P but in hopes when done it should work correctly :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
No it doesn't cache and dalvick cache won't hurt dialer or contacts. Be sure you connected to google as you need to edit apn before you have data and can sync contacts (or use wifi) see accounts and sync tap google account be sure sync contacts is checked and tap sync now

Oh and fix permissions in recovery broken in recovery use my fix perm v2 by minotauri and use install zip from SD in recovery and flash out anytime you need to run it if it days complete in less than a min via recovery then it didn't run

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
no straight pushing the contacts and contact provider apk will break the dialer and contacts as they are interdependent on one another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
LoL yeah that could do it.

You could maybe boot recovery then push while there (be sure to mount /system first) then clear caches (both) then restart recovery then fix perms then reboot you will need dialer from same ROM and it has to be modified for use on our phones if trying to use another like yaldak's that uses close to same base as well most likely but may still not take though

That way it for sure is not in use by OS while you try to change it. Be sure to flash my fix perms as usual

haven't tried this but that would be my method

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
nope still wont work. You would need to rework contacts phone u would need the aosp contacts prover apk the framework jar and the framework from the pure aosp rom to pull it off.

Also joe from the skyrocket dev threads will be jumping on board to help me iron out some more issues.

camera works panorama does not recording does not but i hope with joes help we can iron it out if not ill have some workaround for it :P.

other then that all other functionality do seem to work as intended :P

You will have to add your apn in to get it to see the tmobile network Reason for this is that way skyrocket users can flash and just add there apn so its pretty universal :P

yawn im exausted lol being a 1 person team can be tiresome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I will see about doing a quick install zip with apn-conf.xml that way just flash and go.or maybe you could look at the darkside install deal (basically adding -blah to zip file name specifies install parameters so could do razerics.ICS-tmo.zip to have it install certain apn-conf) think its darkside work. If not that ROM uses it. I believe it is called aroma installer

That would be totally sweet to see then you have soo many develop options it ain't funny. Then you could even do an aosp and custom build in same package then add user decide which packs to use.

Man, I am good prolly to do your menus and basic high level install mods for you. If I could help you with that I am all over that one.

I know you are busy, but if you could even point me in the right direction I could give coding help a shot I learn anything computer related quickly and know some basics like half decent scripting (in pretty much any common language) and CSS-html-php websites.

Have anyone been having issues with the lock screen and the home button not working? I love the rom but had to switch back to another ROM when the home button wouldn't work, haptic feedback only. Cleared caches, reinstalled ROM, dropped back to RC 7, tried everything I can think of. Strange thing is this is the only ROM I have had this isues with. Any suggestions?
