Is Google Now working on this rom? All I can get is just regular voice search and there is no settings menu for Google Now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Are you using the alpha ROM from CM or jamisons? I'm currently on alpha and I can say it works. But as for settings. When you click on Google now you can get into settings from there. Try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] big7dave:
Yeah that's exactly my plan too...we can't rely on greedy corporations to take care of us when they don't think there's money in it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arcticrobot:
I already answered you in another thread, but will do it here as well.

Its Teamchopsticks alpha ROM. When I try to launch Google Now I see some image with mountains for a fraction of a second and then it goes to white blank with "Network Error. Check your network connections and try again" message

Update: error is fixed by clearing app data for Google Services Framework.

Are there any chances of further call audio improvements? The other side gets lower volume of me speaking. Tried with many phones. Have anyone noticed it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
My first question is, have you enabled noise suppression in dialer settings. This seems to clear up a lot of issues people have with low volume and/or muddy sounds. If you haven't yet, enable it and see how your calls sound.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rakhan01:
Yes i have that checked. Without that being checked, the voice was broken.

Trying to get Swype working on my SGH-T989 running CM10 with Darkside Kernel.

Tried to install the T-989 stock; that failed. Swype Beta is hanging at the installer. I could use a swype-like app, but am very comfortable with swype.

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

Otherwise, liking 4.1 Gnow is nice. I like S-Voice a lot as well.

However, the best improvenment has to be the side-to-side swiping. It is as smooth as the iphone.

Has anyone heard anything as of late regarding US Tmo doing a JB release for us? Besides speculation of course?

Haven't seen any mentions of it. Just curious if I missed a post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 96shox:
cant find the link, but there was an article with official and estimated dates for official release. Soon i HOPE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jazzytofu:
Yay! I hope it's not just a rumor...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] D12005:
I saw the article on TmoNews, their source was from sammobile. Said by the end of Q4, and that if we dont get the full jellybean we should at least expect a value pak.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jazzytofu:
Cool, and I really hope they will upgrade touchwiz framework to match Jelly Bean's. Not liking what they did with official ICS update :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novalux:
I'm sure they are going to leave the TouchWiz overlay and replacement apps. It's a shame, but they feel it's necessary. Just convincing me to switch to the Galaxy Nexus though - either way Samsung gets my money...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hyelife:
Thanks to the XDA developers I now have JB running on my GS2 as a DD.

Only problems I found were Camcorder, Video Playback, and Gnow which I can do without for now. I believe it will all be fixed soon and we can have a fully functional JB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I am not a fan boy of any mobile os I actually really like apple products including the iphone.. But I own android phones because they are they offer more of what I am looking for in a smartphone.

That being said..

Jelly Bean is what android always should have been.. It's a complete game changer and Apple should be very scared.. They're not gonna be able to survive if they keep resting on their laurels otherwise they will eventually end up like RIM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coolkid893:
sorry to burst anyones bubble but i work at tmobile (tech help) an im sorry to say were are not going to get official version of jellybean to the s2 to tmobile an samsung its a lost phone buy jan or feb 2013 it will not even be sold anymore at your tmobile stores s3 will get JB but not till around 1q 2013 ( this is what info we got but dont be suprised if samsung pulls back an make it later ) an the new note theres a 45% chance of getting jelly bean round that same time frame so if you want jellybean my friends you gonna have to do it the old fashion way an make it our selfs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
If that's true and the hercules won't get official jb then shame on Samsung for not supporting what was not long ago their (flagship phone) Samsung customers deserve better than that.. And I doubt I would buy another phone by them.. Simple as that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gariputo:
I fully expect an official upgrade to Jelly Bean. They can't abandon a phone they released less than a year ago, no chance.

I came from the iPhone (had the 3gs) and I will give Apple props, if your phone's hardware can support a new os then it can be upgraded as soon as the software is released.

I like this Android but if my phone is already being pushed to the side and ignored am not about to spend another penny on a new phone that will be relevant for 12 months or less.

If there is no official Jelly Bean release I won't be buying another Android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pmac_xy:
Tried the latest JB nightlies 13-08-2012

Flashed the latest JB nightlies 13-08-2012 version. Camera and the camcorder still not working yet, and the mp4 playback not ready.

After flash hercules_DARKSIDE.VENOM_06.1_CM10.zip, camera can work properly and camcorder still not. Hopefully it will be solved in days.

I've never heard of a department called 'tech help -' if you meant tech support then I am sorry to say they should have screened their prospects better to at least find an employee with better spelling and punctuation. Furthermore how do you formulate this 45% chance? Please elaborate. I call BS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I agree with you... The previous post sounds kinda fishy.. I have no doubt that Samsung will do whatever they have to do to get JB on this handset.. It's clearly capable of running it.. (just look at the development section)... Even if it's touchwizzed up.. It's not a major update like ICS was.. It's basically fixing the problems that ics had

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crownua6:
Now that the US Samsung vs crApple is over (Not quite. Samsung still has a chance to appeal), what does it mean for our T-mobile S2? Will we be still receiving an official Jelly Bean update from t-mobile???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danar2:
I don't think the lawsuit will have much of an impact on whether or not we'll be seeing an official JB release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr.Knitty:
lol, who told you that? We're like 85% done with the JB update for T989; the S3 JB update was completed for nearly 2 weeks, so now we're just waiting on the approval.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I never doubted that the T989 would get an update..

If the nexus s can get it than I'm sure a lot of other phones can get it too

I really want to get jb but custom rom is having a lot of issues w the cam :banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] reynoben:
Erick Will has a CM10 rom for the T989. The latest release was 08/29/2012. From what I can see, everything important works (netflix, youtube, cameras, GPS etc).

If you use Goo Manager or head out to goo.im under devs, you will erickwill. Drill into that folder and check out the latest hercules build. I cannot post a link to his thread but the title is:

[2012-08-29] [ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL] - [Netflix is working]

And can be found under T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Android Development.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] michael.flee92:
Jelly beans!

Are my favorite :) Been rocking eriks Build so far and its pretty great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] reynoben:
Yeah me too. Lots of people seem to be having SOD issues or random reboots. I must be one of the lucky ones because its been great for me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obsoletepower:
I am having a lot of luck with the AOKP nightlies. The latest one (9/6/12) is excellent. Am not having the issues people are reporting such as SODs and screen flickering/artifacts. The customization is great too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nkia2sg:
I've been flashing my phone with aokp since the Jb build 1, and all the nightlies, i have the 9/6 now. My phone freezes possibly about 1 out of 15-20 times when unlocking it. I drag the unlock to the right and it'll just freeze on that point. I also have the problem where if i try to reboot/power off phone, once i tap on the power off or reboot button it'll say "device shutting off/rebooting" and it'll stay on that loading screen until i hold down the power button for 10secs or pull the battery(which i never do).

Also my battery dies pretty quick, is this normal on jb? I mean i have about 5 apps installed like whatsapp maps foursquare and such, and i mostly text and look up stuff online but, for example today i took my phone off the charger at 1030, and around 330pm it was at 10% (looking at the percentage shown in the circlemod)

I have the latest CWM touch, which has the darkside tools preinstalled so that's what i used to flash.

I use the app called whatsapp, i haven't seen anyone talk about it at all here it's great for group chat/messaging and i use it more than texting now. But with the Jb rom's every picture that i send through whatsapp now is distorted/ every picture has lines through it that are clearly visible especially when zoomed in. It only happens with pictures sent from me to others, the ones i receive are fine.

This should probably be in the development thread for the build but i don't have permission to post in there.

Otherwise i love jb and even though it's that^^ unstable i can't see going back to ics or gb.

I've been looking online for the improvements in JB, and don't seem to me a such big steep.

Hey All

So I installed CM10 on my newly acquired S2X (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852105)

and I followed every instruction and everything seemed to go successfully

Went to start up and all I see is the CyanogenMod symbol, and it''s been stuck on that for the last 30 min.

Before I go and follow the instructions in the Softbrick thread, anybody have any other ideas (or may an explanation of what went wrong)

Thanks in advance

You may have already figured it out, but if not, what recovery & version are you using? That may determine your next step. If your using an older version of recovery, you might need to use a cache wipe script to boot up properly.

I'm on eugene373's plane jane ICS rom. i'm more then sure this was asked in this thread, i just need a newer updated answer because some new roms came out.

As of right now, how reliable/stable is JB on our phones? What do i expect going into JB. What isn't working in JB?

Also whats the most stable JB rom?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goatamous:
Thanks for the info

I ended up following the steps for ODIN, put in the newest CWM Touch, then from there was able to load a different ROM onto my phone. Put ICS instead of JB and it seems to be up and running smoothly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Strelok1987i:
Right now all JB roms suffer from SODs (sleep of death - when your phone goes to sleep and won't wake up without rebooting), and RRs (random reboots). Some people get them more than others. I was getting 5+ a day, so I got tired of it and went back to CM9.

As for the most stable, I've heard good things about paranoid. But it still has the aforementioned issues.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hristopelov:
since JB is officialy to be comming to SGS II might i ask what is the proper way of getting it thru Kies after beeing rooted on the stock ROM?

would unrooting the phone only work? or has to be completely reversed back to stock?

Anyone know what is Kies exactly checking for before letting u update your device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
You will need to have a stock recovery and rom installed.. But if you're already rooted you might as well just flash the update instead of using kies.. Just sayin'
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hristopelov:
Oh i c... but you think theyll have the update for download at the release?

and what is the diference if any? updating thru Kies and flashing it thru CWM?

also what was the proper way of flashing, is been a while since ive done it, wipe Davik Cashe, Partition, and battery stats, then flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
The difference is you don't need to Odin back to stock.. Lol.. It's just simpler.. if you go back to complete stock you and want to root or flash roms you will need to flash cwm all over again.. It just makes more sense to me to skip the whole process and just wait for someone to release it in the development section.. It will be the same update and probably a bit better at the very least

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
No hate really but are you saying that the galaxy nexus is wayyyyy more powerful than our phones? I mean it's pretty much the same phone less the screen. How can you say it won't work on our phones well if ICS does? Makes little to no sense. Your opinion is uninformed is why people are freaking on you. That being said we'll see.

I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JPOKeefe:
Its mostly due to the fact they both use a slide to unlock lock screen so if they just change that quickly for the jelly bean update they should be able to get the ban lifted. Hopefully that happens cuz I wanna buy one soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
As I understand it GB was not made for dual cores it was acually a bunch of hacks that they used to get it to work better than froyo ICS is optimized for the multi core phones so that doesnt make any sence. And I have not had any problems with ICS so far As a matter of fact I did not even root my phone until AOKP becam official. And I updated the minute it was relesed. So I was on complete stock ICS for a week or two and I definitly noticed a upgrade in battery life and performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boricua10:
I read on the internet that 4.1 won't have flash support and adobe is pulling their flash app from the play store. What does this mean for 4.1 users?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
Maybe they will change it for adobe air .like apple
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
Nor should they since we decided not to buy a nexus phone and if anyone didn't know google doesn't support non nexus then now they know. How they couldn't is beyond me but it happens. That being said who cares if google supports it? Jellybean is just an incremental upgrade which most likely means once AOSP is released for it the devs are going to have a field day and we will get jelly bean. Just have to be patient. look how long ICS took to get but this one will be much faster. Now for that pesky AOSP release.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

I hope it means flash is dying a slow horrible death. I loath it. Only reason I use it is because I'm forced. This move out of the mobile sector is what we need to speed up its death. The one thing apple got right IMHO. Flash is like wearing sandpaper underwear. Yea you have underwear on but it's not comfortable.
