niiiiiccceee bro! DL now! btw idk if youve seen my question on your other thread, i wanna know what really is CeesHeim Base ROM? what are the differences here
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
CeesHeim's ROM is an Omnia 7 Tango engineering build with language packs pulled from the WP emulator that is included in the SDK. The DFT ROM is a retail ROM with official MS language packs edited by DFT.

actual thread with 5,0 by 5 votes :) thank you guys! :cool:

all THANKS to contable for his excellent, amazing idea and his hard work to transform the whole UI in a beautiful dream of glass- a perfect BASE for each coming mi7ROMor each WP7 ROM

tnx for use it
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] aFaridun:
I've just installed this rom (thank' a lot).

One question, the camera quality in tango update became worse than in mango, isn't it?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] aFaridun:
1-2 reboots in ie, 1 reboot in Now (samsung), one in root tools.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] contable:
Thanks for the credits. Have fun with my fullskin...
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
This is the first I've heard of any complaints about both the camera and reboots. Did you do a full reset before and after flashing the ROM? If you still have reboots try a different SD card or none at all. If none of that works for you try my Mango build (1.25) HERE.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] aFaridun:
2 restores, no card installed. Ok will try mango. Can i downgrade from tango to mango.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
you can flash from tango to mango no problem, just make sure you are doing full resets like the instructions say and you should have no problems.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] aFaridun:
ok, thanks.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] aFaridun:
+Youtube videos error: Sorry we can't play this file on your phone
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
What ROM? Did you go back to Mango and have this problem? I ask because I just tested build 1.25 with the YouTube app and it worked just fine for me.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] machbe1984:
I'm using your old Clean DFT Tango Rom and waiting the cabs update (ex: contable Full Skin...). It's better than flash new ROM:)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] vt2912:
wating cái gì nữa hả anh, cứ thế mà phang vào bằng cabsender thôi, ROM của bạn ấy bao gồm cert của cả contable rồi mà :D

Goodluck my friend!
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] machbe1984:
I wanto use newest Contable Full Skin so I'm waiting newest contable_Full_Skin.cab to update using wp7 cab sender (don't need to flash new rom). I updated the old contable_Full_Skin.cab however it's not full:)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
I know you don't mean anything by it, but please use English so everyone can understand what you are saying ;)

We have top men working on it, top men. :cool:
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] machbe1984:
Wow, greats! Thanks:)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] lucasryan:
@ voluptuary, is there any reason that the lock widgets wouldnt work on this Rom?

Also have you ever thought about making a new lock screen unlock style or do you have any suggestions to if its possible to change that, now that we have custom Roms for focus. Havent had alot of time to look thru and see where it would be located yet in the files.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
Lock Widgets works as long as you only use bing wallpapers or images that are pre sized to 480x800. For some reason LW doesn't resize custom images on most custom ROM's... As far as changing the unlock style (I think you mean like swiping up to unlock) I have no idea how to go about changing that. It would involve more than I know how to do.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] tyler200298:
change default theme

Hello,

thanks for this rom, it's very smooth and responsive,;)

just a little question (maybe stupid):p

can i change this glass theme to simple default? there is a xap?

thanks in advant for the answer

regards from italy:cool:
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
This same ROM minus the theme is available in my other thread HERE. There is also a Mango build (build 1.25)that some feel is a little less buggy in that same thread as well.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] jasongw:
I will never understand people's need to put those ghastly, hideous, memory-hogging glass effects on WP7's beautiful, austere UI. :P. For those still stuck in 2007, I'm glad you'll be happy, but...no thank you, LOL
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
The other ROM I just metioned IS stock, this one has the skin on it. That said, there is nothing wrong with choice. Some people like to be different, I'm not going to judge them for that.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mekkelrichards:
I am on StraightTalk using this phone. I entered the APN settings correctly. All data works, EXCEPT for when I try to use any BING services or use the Marketplace to download something. I tried downloading the newest network profile app from Samsung but the only options for networks it gives me are ATT and AT&T.

Any methods around this? Perhaps a registry edit?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
Are you in the US? This probably has to do the the local of your Live ID. Bing and the Marketplace are not avalable to all regions.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mekkelrichards:
Yeah, I live in the US. I know it has to do with the APN settings. I use to have an HD2 with the same problem and I ended up using HTC Connection Manager and selecting my carrier and it fixed the problem instantly. I just need the same thing for this phone, or maybe a registry edit.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
You could try side loading the HTC Connection Manager, this ROM has the HTC app drivers included in it.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mekkelrichards:
I tried sending the htc connection setup app via cab sender and it tells me that "The preinstallation update package (or super package) isn't signed.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
You just need to install the XAP and it should work I'm pretty sure. You don't use cab sender for that you use a xap deployment tool.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] jasongw:
I'm aware, and grateful for the choice. I'll just point out that people who want the archaic style graphics aren't trying to be different, they're trying to be *the same* as the junk that came before WP7 :) I'm not judging, just saying that I don't know why you'd choose gaudy, superfluous visual gobbledygook over Metro's crisp, beautiful, elegant UI :)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] thegod2012:
how would one make there own skin like yours that still has the live tiles function
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] tyler200298:
Thanks very very much,

Now the rom is perfect for me...

I'm not against glass and or new themes,but i just like old style lol

You're great my friend! Thanks again and regards from italy

Found this article:

http://www.cellphonesignal.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-aka-samsung-t989-getting-ics-reallly-soon/

Doesn't have a specific release date but it was just posted on this Site. Well see what T Mobile has for us soon. :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
It seems to imply hardware changes REV0.02 I wonder what they are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] melinton:
Heck yes. See this is ACTUAL ICS news not like all the other ones.

:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
O

I saw it posted on one of the tmo. News comments. I read it before posting to make sure it wasn't garbage. Still don't really know what they are doing ornithologists if sources for this article are legit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
I wonder if warranty exchanges will randomly start coming with ics on board

Sent from my Real Gs move in silence like lasagna
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
I take real good care of mine so as long as we get the leak I don't care lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tennandcoz1:
Great news.

FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
correct me if im wrong..but it doesn't matter if there is a leak or an official OTA release...once someone gets there hands on a tmo SG2 with official ICS they can post the files for all of us...then the devs can make customized the roms out of that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] relldroid:
The specs seem exactly the same, so they just going to release it with the installed ics? Hour that's the case, even if so, the update will probably come when the new batch does?

SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Doesnt matter since hopefully someone would quickly do a system dump for everyone/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
So is this an excerpt from an FCC approval?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tennandcoz1:
Don't think you need approval for software updates.could be wrong

FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Heff66:
Real news for once... I will just wait and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
People will end up bricking their phones doing the ota so yeah if you have a problem with your phone and the update running on it then yes you possibly will wind up going to the tech support department for an exchange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
Nah, you're correct, it's just that the article mentions a relaunch and rev. 2 of the hardware, so I wasn't sure if this kinda thing has to go through the FCC or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
Maybe rev 2 fixes the screen issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
I found the original location of this information. Doesn't really tell us anything useful though:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Except for this part
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
ICS was already established with the thread title. I was mainly referring to when we would actually see the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hunterhp:
What I don't understand is how come carriers like T-Mobile and ATT take so long to roll out updates when they have dedicated developers, and folks here in XDA can write custom kernels in weeks. They should just release their kernel source code to XDA developers and let them handle it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
The custom kernels aren't from scratch hence the difference and why there isn't a ICS kernel other than the leaked one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Really hoping we get some more info on this soon!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tennandcoz1:
Called T-Mobile this morning.now true or not the rep looked it up.he told me and I quote,We are happy to tell you a software up date is scheduled for t989 Hercules sometime in April.once again take it for what it is worth. THE REP DID NOT TELL ME IF IT WAS THE UPDATE TO I.C.S.

FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Because carriers cannot release a software update to the volume of subscribers if its full of bugs, untested issues. All releases (as best as possible) have ironed out their kinks and are ensured to be fully working. Could you imagine the level of outcry, phone support, handset returns if average consumers dealt with the little nitpick bugs XDA members are accustomed to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
I've learned not to shop with TMobile, their service seems like it's residing the interest rates on their customers with bad phones and support
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveinSoCal:
Only thing i got recently (On Easter) was a my account update stating it now supports Android 4.0

So looks like we have to keep on waiting, felt like i was at a strip club. I saw Android 4.0 and then realized it was not what I thought it would be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
My question is, why would they ship out new units with ics first instead of updating their current units as a test.? If something went wrong with their updated version they'd have to recall those units.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
New revenue stream. Simple as that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
They wouldnt have to recall just push an OTA I assuming they would at least test OTA update on release and that it can boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
He's not asking for a rom but the kernel source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
GPL states that source does not have to be released before the publicly available compiled binary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
We don't want their crappy, carrier-IQ bloated 500MB ROMs anyway :P

IIRC much of the components needed to get an ICS kernel running are available. Its only a matter of time until someone puts it togeher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say therewill be no carrier IQ.

Currently Carrier IQ and some carriers them selves are being sued because of CIQ. Carrier IQ its self is involved in over 70 lawsuits right now. Carrier IQ is doen for, i suspect we will not see any of its junk in any ICS roms. I already checked the Skyrocket rom and didnt even see traces, even if AT&T doesnt use CIQ like they claim the framework would show traces since samsung uses the same tree for multiple builds they just disable some things and enable other things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
I hope so.

But carriers love bloat. This is what they do. If it's not carrier IQ it's going to be a derivative or variation. And if it's not at all by some miracle, it's going to be some poorly written piece of bloatware! They already have methods to program our devices OTA via OMA protocols. Unsure WHAT exactly they can program, but I don't trust that nonsense and as such I don't want it in my /system directory! We don't need anything on our (GSM) phones to be programmed OTA. Never have.

As for the leaked Skyrocket ROM....AT&T puked on whatever Samsung gave them. It looks awful at the first flash :\ They can at least make it look clean for such a high-end device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
If its a clean rom you want, wait for the telus rom. they dont ad in any **** except a browser home page, telus background and a boot splash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
We're XDA ;)

We make our ROMs

Although Telus is definately on the innocent side. Verizon is another level!

This is good news indeed...well, I guess it's not exactly good news yet. This is SOME news indeed! More than we have gotten in a while. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveinSoCal:
My only thing is that 4.0 has been out for Verizon some time, it has been ported to numerous phones. there is obviously the developmental knowledge out there (take XDA for example) to incorporate the newest OS with the newer phones, why would the carriers continue to release phones with outdated firmware?

Kind of frustrating

Sweet.. "We're XDA... We Make our ROM's" should be a sig bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
The reason phones come out with outdated firmware is because it's a lengthy process from the thought up scetch of a phone, to the phone on the shelves. Therefore the phones being released with gingerbread were originally started before ICS was released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DeeXii:
It says REV0.2 Im guessing that because it says "0" that there is no change in hardware this is just ICS included which needs to be marketed different. Just saying'
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Caerusx:
The carriers want to make sure that the phones they sell have zero problems at all. They have long testing problems to make sure that no problems exist with the software. If the carriers just start releasing android updates and there are issues, they can have thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of complaints that the carriers have to deal with directly. A lot of android phones have been sold, so just imagine how many potential problems that is for support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr1ncred1ble:
I wouldn't post this unless I believed it. Just so happens there are some T-Mobile guys that work in my office building. Every so often I see 'em in the elevator. Today ,after jokingly inquiring about ics for sgs2, one of em told me they are coordinating the ics release with the release of a new HTC device. He then proceeded to tell me this new device will be released on or about the 24th of this month. His exact words were "sooner rather than later" ...so there u go my contribution to the discussion. I can't say this is 100% true but I believe him over anything else I've read.

My brother works for a tmobile store, he said today at there was a notice out for mandatory training and meeting on the 25th before stores are open regarding android 4.0, sense 4.0 on a few devices including the HTC One S, HTC Amaze and the SGSII.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AJ26T:
My buddy works for tmo tech support he got that notice too but its only for the HTC one s phone but I guess we shall see
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
The SGSII part is for training them how to deal with the pissed off SGSII customers when they announce 4.0 for the One S and not the S2..

Kidding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
It sounds like they are trying to coordinate ics releases so that it comes at the same time for multiple devices. This would of been impressive 3-4 months ago. Now it comes off as just holding off updates for publicity they aren't going to get.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Melon_Bread:
That and I think our phone came out before the Galaxy Nexus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
WTF 15 more freakin days lol jk good news ,seems pretty consistent with what my local reps have been telling me. Funny thing is I got ICS on my phone now lol with and when the ota's roll out ill probable still be running a Ravers 4.0 rom :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:

lol too funny
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
pretty sad that Tmo employees are getting trained on the HTC One S before getting information on android 4.0 for the SGS2. Android started with T-Mobile with the G1, you'd think they'd get it right and be far ahead of the rest regarding OS Updates. Honestly android is gonna end up failing if it relies on carriers to distribute and produce updates. Honestly android needs to be more like linux, and get os updates directly from google, all addons/carrier bloat should be distributed thought the android market.

Samsung, HTC, LG, other carriers, need to provide their binaries/vendors & source directly to google so that they may build release updates for all phones on the cloud. Android should have a stable, beta, and dev channel as well. The current situation stinks and needs to be changed, too much disorganization and too many carriers editing the android framework, if they want to do that they should just build their own OS, because honesty, tw'zd android isnt android.

One base rom from google should be able to boot on any device, all the device manufacturers should do is provide drivers. The carriers, google, and wireless providers are creating more work for themselves and more disorganization and fragmentation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
While here at XDA we think like that. You gotta remember that probably 70-80% of Android users could care less about updates, and probably have no clue what ICS is. I'm not saying I agree with how they're doing it, I'm just saying that Tmobile isn't going to go under for delaying a firmware update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
it shouldnt be their choice whether they like updates or not, people who use google chrome for instance have their browser auto update for security purposes. Why should android be any different? 90+% of android users are vulnerable to webkit exploits and other holes in the operating system. Just wait for future mobile worms, you'll see nationwide 4g outages from DDoS and massive amounts of userdata stolen. People wont blame the carriers, they will blame android and google. If google pushed bug fixes there would be less tech support calls and less handsets returned, the android platform would also be more valuable.

Lets all hope android evolves, and that the days of carriers ending support for handsets are over, and that hardware manufacturers provide google with drivers and we get updates from google and not the providers. They are a mobile network, operating systems are not their expertise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Sure, but since that's not the case, T-Mobile is training its employees on how to make the company more money (selling a new phone) rather than making no money (OS update).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
They would make more money if their phones got updates, it would make them more valuable and would sell more, with less bugs, and more features. T-Mobile's business plan pushing out newer phones before updates will ultimately fail. Already most developers have left T-Mobile, honestly the big carriers like verizon and AT&T are learning from their mistakes and now providing updates for more handsets. How many at&t phones are now getting ICS? 9?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
Lol touche
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
News possibly related to this, on the TMo website when i choose add a line, the SII is now free (with mail-in rebate card) through 4/19. Both original and white flavors.

It was previously still 229.00 when selecting the same option up until this week.

This could be an indication of clearing remaining stock before the release of revision0.2 with ICS.
