[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] T-Fanatic:
It has the ICS touchwiz unlock screen. Not as good as AOSP imo.

As far as ROM's, My GF's GS2 is using perfection and hasn't had any problems at all.

I went with SKY ICS for mine. It was more work to muscle through, but for me it was worth it due to the customization options. Works really well.

I had Nexusmod for a day, and it was good too, but had a glitch where it would tell me "Swipe to unlock" on the bottom of the lockscreen evn though it was AOSP.

I reccomend Apex launcher with them though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ffinger:
Well after a few hours of searching these forums I have learned allot. I am new to android I switched from a blackberry. Now as any eager new phone owner would do I jumped in and rooted my telus galaxy s2x the first day i had it without doing anywhere near enough research. I then had to leave home for work for a long time and decided that I should return my phone to bone stock and start fresh with all the things i had learned. I have scoured these forums and the internet looking for the stock telus rom and kernal. I found links to both but so far have been unable to download them. Dead links? i have odin and have read the guides but without the software i am stuck. So i decided to register and post. now i just hope that someone will take pitty on me and my undeniably mis guided android antics. my current phone info is:

Model number: SGH-T989D

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: T989DTLKJ3

Kernel version: 2.6.35.11

Build number GINGERBREAD.TLKJ3

Now as far as i know I only rooted the phone trying to remove the telus junk and useing LBE privacy gaurd for permissions. No ROM or Kernel tweaking. I am currently running Avast security to but am haveing doubts as to its usefullness. Hope that someone can point me in the right direction and thanks for your time!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
The thing with the security, is that its rather hard to have a virus on Linux due to the nature of the system.

Without Root access, there is no access to system files.

I do not run Avast, and have yet to run into issues. Just know what you are installing and what you are granting root access.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kolpa06:
First of all, you don't need to go back to stock rom and re-root again if you are willing to use a custom rom. Because, rooting related files resides under specific to your /system and /data directory which are already replaced when you install a custom rom and do a factory reset.

Moroever, if you go back to stock by restoring an original nandroid backup you will most probably like to loose CWM recovery. You probably wouldn't want to double flash CWM if you are going to root your phone again.

What I can recommend you is,

1) After you backup your stuff, do a wipe data/factory reset from CWM. That will allow you start fresh

2) Then, based on what you want to do:

a) If you want to install a custom rom:

Look for the dev forum and choose whatever you want. I am currently using Raverx3x BLACKEDITION ICS and it is awesome.

b) If you want to stick with original rom with root access:

Let me know if I couldn't answer your question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ffinger:
Thanks

So i did find the stock rom and wiped all data and did a clockwork wipe as well rerooted the phone. So now i am bone stock. Again thank you for all the help. I am going to go with a custom ROM and from the reading i have done they all seem fairly good. Now I am just curious about custom ROM's and how well they work with lets say google play apps as well as some of the others you can get such as LBE. I dunno why but my phone when plugged into the comp wont start the auto play for usb storage and wont show up in the computer tab? weird. unless i run kies or start odin. then the auto play pops and i can see the usb. then windows tells me there is corrupt data on my external usb and if i scan it it closes all the usb stuff and seems to reset itself? i dunno i think that is a comp issue not so much phone. I guess my biggest issue is compatibilty with apps and custom ROM's and the like. Also if I flash a custom rom will that take care of the insane amount of telus and google crap. I dont really need most of what the phone came with but i am leary of deleting apps and system tools that are on the phone. I dunno totally new to android and in quite over my head. more reading i do more questions i have haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Idk if that was a phone app thing...

But for future, can you break up those huge paragraphs? Its hard to absorb all that information.

Anyways, I've never had an issue with computer connectivity... Might want to reboot the computer? That's a start at least

I will again suggest ravers rc8 ics rom. I havent seen any issues other than missing wifi calling. No bloatware at all. Rare FCs...

Btw I amnot sure 989-d is also supported by that rom, but worth trying definitely

I am a telus user with the same device... As other user suggested ravers rc8 ics rom... I am using this rom and love this rom.. Works awesome... other than wifi calling and wifi hotspot..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rapalax:
What modem are you using ? the original T989D's is KJ8 I think... ?

I was using it also but only up to RC6 until I switched to Darkside.. it has a t989 kernel but unfortunately required an ICS modem. After I flashed the Tmobile modem, I realized that I no longer have 4g. Its a price I am willing to pay for now.

EDIT: Turns out the modem is fine - only a bug in the ROM that does not display the 4G icon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mauserruger:
Sorry way late on the reply :( was away with work... I am currently using the 4g blaze modem as I was having data drop with the KJ8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 632.8nm:
I currently have the basic stock ROM unlocked on Koodo so I'd prefer to have a stable wireless signal especially with the tethering hot spot... I think my phone has the KJ3 but you guys have KJ8 modem?

Model number: SGH-T989D

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: T989DTLKJ3

Kernel version: 2.6.35.11

Build number GINGERBREAD.TLKJ3

(pure stock?)

How is the GPS in the Ravers ICS ROM? I basically need a functional GPS and mobile access point (tethering) to work amongst something stable while not being crippled.

I have flashed my old Captivate to the Cognition 4.1 ROM but am definitely a noob to my new SGS2 T989D which is quite a pleasant upgrade
[General Topics] techristian:
I bought one of these at the Pacific Mall in Toronto thinking that it would be a good BT keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Ace. The guy at the Mall said "Yes it should be ok with your phone.First off it said that I must ACTIVATE IT FOR FREE. I PAIRED IT WITH MY SAMSUNG but when I went to activate it "Activation failed. Please retry before using software."

Also the cheap USB port (power recharge) connector came off.

Anyone have experience with this? I unpacked the APK and found "trout keypad" as the name of one of the files.

I can show pictures. It is almost the same size as my Samsung Galaxy Ace phone and will fit in the case with it.

I got one yesterday ($79.99) and had to go BTS to get the phone to recognize it and format it (CM9 just told me it was a damaged card). It "sees" it as ~59gb.

Yeah old rom but it works!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] quasimotto:
no 64GB Fix for CM10?

So is the ONLY way to get full use out of a 64GB card is to return to stock?

been looking in the CM10 threads, have not founds a solution.

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Radiotsar:
I only had to go back to stock the one time. Since then, I've switched ROMs numerous times and am currently running Scott's CM10. Once you get that initial recognition & formatting out of the way, you're golden.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Does anyone have any idea why the specs for Infuse always say "up to 32GB" for the external SD?

Just curious. We now know thanks to people posting here that it's not true. But it sure seems to be a widely quoted phrase anywhere you find specs about our device. Weird.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
Because at the time the Infuse was released, MicroSDHC was standard, and 32GB cards were extremely expensive, and "who in their right mind wants a total of 80 GB of storage on their PHONE? The MicroSDXC standard had not yet been invented yet, so by default it was not supported, (Froyo). At that time when our phones were still being made "Up to 32 GB" = "Everything known that fits in the phone is supported".

I want to see somebody try a 128GB memory card, just to see if it works in the Infuse, (anybody rich out there that wants to run an experiment?)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] itzmydamnlyf:
Is it necessary to go back to stock for the 64gb microsd to be recognized?

I am running Aeon 1.4SL.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
You shouldn't have to if the MicroSD card is formatted with a FAT32 partition table.

ok so im running some more tests and decided to take a different path for dual boot (for testing anyway, still gonna give it a go with bmp)... so to make a long story short, how do I edit the .bct file that comes with the nvflash zip??? I can edit the .cfg just fine but when I add my secondary partitions at the end of the line up and before UDB, the g2x doesnt seem to boot, like it just stays at the first lg logo and goes no further. I need access to the file to make it kick over. I think. Anyone have any ideas? Ive not been able to find out how to edit the file.. although I've not looked 110% as I usually do.. This time i'm asking the good folks here at xda to see whats up.

Im not even sure if I've named them right.. but hte way I see it they are all 3 characters in length.. so ive made the secondaries called APS, CAS, & UDS.. that also maybe my issue. but none the less ive attached a screen cap to show they were made and where they fall in the lineup.

Anyone got an idea that will help me?

Not really, Going to wait for the real deal, all these "like ASOP" and "like MIUI" "roms" are nothing more then themes that break something that's tied to sense, or only look like what they are suppsoed to on the home screen, everything else just looks the same. Swapping some .apks around doesn't make this a rom and isn't really development, it's theming. No offense.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ken52787:
Here is an app I made to quickly and easily change marketplace settings. Similar apps exist already, but this one has a few features I've not seen in the other ones. This project was more of a way for me to learn about homebrew dev, but it resulted in a useful program so nothing wrong with that :)

Source

This app is open source. It is hosted on Google Code. If anyone would like to help contribute, PM me and we'll discuss getting you added.

What you can do

Change OEM marketplace - You can choose from any of the 8 OEM stores, or view a combined market with all 8 at the same time.

Change MO marketplace - I'm working on getting as many as possible included. The app will ask kindly to submit if yours is a new one.

Change the maximum file size cap over 3g - Download larger apps and podcasts over 3G without needing a wifi connection

Lock the settings - Prevents your settings from reverting back in a day or two when the marketplace updates itself

Who can run this?

You need a root unlock. So either a full unlock or WP7 Root Tools with this app marked as Trusted.

Changelog

Beta 2.0.3 - 6/7/12 - Going off of the error reports I received from yesterday's release, I added better error handling to hopefully alleviate those problems.

Beta 2.0.2 - 6/6/12 - Added a better error handler. Users are now prompted with the option to submit bug reports, so I may better track down issues.

Beta 2.0.1 - 6/4/12 - Fixed a bug that would cause the app to crash if no MO store was configured on the device. The app also informs you if it's not set to Trusted in WP7 Root Tools.

Beta 2 - 5/31/12 - After spending too much time working on a rewrite, the next beta is ready. I've changed a ton of things under the hood, but the big new feature is viewing all OEM markets at the same time. I've also released the source as of this version, though I am not speaking for it's quality. Some parts are more polished than others.

Beta 1.4 - 5/2/12 - Added a few new mobile operators. Added country flags to MO selection screen. Fixed more crashed.

Beta 1.3 - 5/1/12 - Added a slew of new mobile operators, along with an option to remove it (for contract-free phones, direct from OEM, etc)

Beta 1.2 - 4/29/12 - Fixed crashing bug. Added Telekom MO (thanks contable). Added OEM logos.

Beta 1.1 - 4/28/12 - Removed device spoofing (it can break DRM, thanks for the heads up GoodDayToDie). Added Sprint MO.

Beta 1 - 4/28/12 - Initial release

Thanks to

Heathcliff74 for the wonderful WP7 Root Tools SDK

GoodDayToDie for his homebrew efforts, which I use for file IO

balcsida for providing new icons
