what type of roms are you looking forward to? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

since we dont have a q&a section yet ill ask this here. CM7 or stock or whatever .i personally would just like to see an improved version of the stock Rom with all the optimizations. Cm7 really did nothing for me i guess a little too vanilla ...any thoughts?

I want to see all the bloat removed. I have no idea why t-mobile bloatware apps lead to download more bloatware apps. I will like to see Miui and Cm8. Hopefully Ice cream sandwich is all its cooked up to be.

I came from the SGS 4g community, and i am a big fan of Whitehawkx - Valhalla Rom, and before that i like all of Team Acids work especially dsexton702's Adrenaline Shot (although not a rom, very helpful in making virtually making an Samsung rom smoother the melted butter XD)
So something along those lines.
on a side not i read that Whitehawkx was to pick up an SGSII today and was planning to see what he can do with it so im pretty excited. plus Team Aicd says they have things in store for our phone as well.

Well im looking forward to cm7 or 8 and other roms especially getting rid of all the bloat! But i heard Whitehawkx was passing on it for prime?

Well i guess we will have to wait and see what he does.
i have never got to play around with CM but looking forward to it, and cant wait to get rid of all the bloat!

CM7 and CM8 (ice cream 4.0) is definitely a must have

Looking forward to a sense port....
I kid, I kid.
I'd just like the bloat gone and root. Some miui would be great too though.

Id like a Rom just like the stock one but without any bloatware and lag when swiping between home screen. I would also love to have that "bouncing" effect when you reach the top or the bottom of a page instead of the light blue color.

Looking for a good ROM.

Hey I'm looking for a good ROM for my mom. She's jealous of my stock ICS on my E4GT. Her phones rooted already, and I wanna find get a decent ROM to hold her over until the evos ics ROM is stable.
I want something refreshing for her, she's considering getting rid of evo, but I'm trying to convince her to wait until later this year to upgrade...
So what you got for me?

POSSIBLE ICS Rom...want everyones take!

Ok I have been a major lurker on xda for a while. I just created an xda profile a few days ago and made my first contribution with a hacked hulu plus app. Now I want to make a bigger contribution. In the form of a ROM. Ive got my build environment up and running smooth.
Now I dont want any donations. You wont find any donations links any where. I hack and build for fun. This community has many taliented developers. I just hope to merge what I know into real world stuff.
Now my question to the community is what do you want to see in a Rom? Features? Tweaks?

Same. It's very smooth and I like it a lot. Lmk when you get an ICS TW ROM with good battery life like EL29.
Just a fully functional ICS Stock rom that plays nice with the battery is all I can really ask for
You developers spend enormous amount of time and effort to provide to this community and it'll be absurd for people to "expect" ANYTHING. Thank you in advance for any future work you provide for the community.
Settings like AOKP with status bar changes and lockscreen changes and a theme engine would be sweet also.

As long as it's a TW Rom that would be awesome. I like TW and there's a **** ton of people that add launchers to their roms, might as well get CM or AOKP.
Again TW and fast would be nice to see. I have had bad luck with ICS, my phone always hangs for some reason on all leaks.
Thanks in advance.
an aosp ics rom with every single customization option imported from aokp, codename, gummy, slim, and cm9. if you can get that with flawless mms, camera/camcorder, great battery life, with no service or data loss, and properly working sdcard, then you'll have yourself the best aosp rom available hands down.
This may be asking a lot, but i would love to see some of the tweaks for this ROM added. It may be kernel tweaks so i dont know if it is possible. My Mother's phone is running it and after 2 days she still has 50% battery.

Honestly, would just like to see what you come up with. It can be TW based, aokp, cm9.... either way, there is going to be someone not pleased with your work. I think you should just pick and choose what you like, put it together, and the community will love you for it. I myself do prefer a nice lock screen mod (like maddoggin and the new aosp mod). The launcher I could give two s#*T's about, as long as it runs smooth. The best of luck to you. Hope to see some good things in the future.

Im a huge fan of the cm9 launcher but i like the TW UI and Camera. Im thinking of a Touchwizless rom. it has the look and feel of aosp but with the great aspects of TW.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
A touch wiz ROM with mods like AOKP (status bar notification and lockscreen mods ) and behaves like AOKP, the reason behind it being a touchwiz ROM is because the little touchwiz touches are nice( video player, working led, HW accelerated UI and browser and etc) ,putting other UI's might just cause problems (battery and lag). Yet I can only dream!! Just an idea. If this is even possible.

My opinion is to offer options.
Help swamp goblin port sense 4.0.
Help maintain and update MIUI if needed.
Port over motoblur (just so peeps can try it)
Help tcp if needed with aokp or cma or gummy.
Etc. Etc. The more options we have, the happier everyone will be.
While not a rom, how about porting the cm9 reloaded mod to our phone. The systemUI of the mod needs to be merged with ours to get the 4g toggle and other stuff working. I would do it, but time isn't something I have at the moment.

ICS Roms

I am about to take the dive onto a ICS rom for my GSII but there are quite a few and I want to here your guyses opinions of which is best and why and which has the fewest issues etc, battery life and you know just the works in general. I am interested in ICS Perfection II, Darkside Evolution, Black Edition, T989-NexusMod, NexusMod ICS Zero Beta 7, ICS Megamix 4.0.3, and SKY ICS UCLD2. Any opinion is nice thank you
I skipped Sky due to the more involved install. But I've found them all to be very similar. They are all fast, 90% stable and none of them have particularly great battery life.
NexusMod requires touch cwm so if you don't want that, you can X that one out too.
But none of them are bad.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
I used the perfection one for a while, it was a bit buggy and laggy but overall it was okay, then i switch to the blackened edition it was all good in rc-6 no call echo, but 7 echo came back for me, and rc-8(Experimental) im using right now its pretty decent, but im not a big fan of the theme, i seen the darkside evolution one and im very inclined to use it even tho it's only a beta AND initial release if you read thru the comments everybody seems to be having a good time with it and no issues so far
Thank you both for you input and I agree I like the Dark Side look alot aswell

I just flashed it after trying Black RC8 Experimental. Both are fast as heck. Battery life is kinda blah like I was saying so I'd keep a charger or spare battery around.
But in terms of stability and speed its solid.

Why did you not like the Black Edition one?

Main difference is Black has AOSP Lock screen but not 14 toggles. And Darkside has the toggles but no AOSP lock screen.

What lockscreen does it have if not the ICS one?
I dunno but it doesn't have the built in music controls and it doesn't have the camera or home screen wipe choices. It just unlocks

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.

Hello Peeps!

Im not new here because i have always looked around the forums when i had older phones. Now that I have a galaxy s 3 for tmobile, i felt the need to get on here and realize the true potential of this beast phone.Very interested in android developement and making this phone shine. Im ready for everyones input on whatever i have to say and will be all ears.
This phone shines out of the box. There is no need to worry about losing your imei anymore. So you can root and flash normally now. My opinion. Cm is losing its flavor. All the features of touch wiz are amazing and not really worth losing.

Glad to have you here. I'm running the euroskank nightlies. Got jelly bro indeed?
Cyanogen mod is not losing its swag. A lot of them including Cyanogen work for Samsung.

That's why touchwiz doesn't suck as much.
Still sucks though. Jk

Before doing anything you should backup your IMEI though.

I use to never flash anything besides cyanogen mod. Ever since the g1 days. I had the Htc one S and gave sense a chance for the first time and altho I never felt quite comfortable I found it pretty nice and less bloated than previous builds. I then upgraded to this beast (sgs3) and I absolutely love touchwiz. I don't see me flashing cm until most bugs are sorted out and if they add a better camera, and the touchwiz motion shortcuts which I find myself using more than I thought.
I don't see what people don't like about touchwiz. It's clean and simple which is what made me fall in love with cm. I'm sure cm probably is less bloated under the hood but I'm not ready to part with touchwiz. I'll wait for cm10 stable.

This will be locked soon. And the most common answer will be "try them all", but you can try FreeGS3 JB in Android Development.
Also search for mods in Themes and Apps for a thread with "morph" in the title for full customization.

I have 2 ROMs for you that I have fallen in love with. The first is the latest Paranoid Android with its awesome custom options and battery life. And the other one is the one I'm using now, aokp with ktoonz. This ROM is also very customizable and has given me be best battery life so far.

Welcome to jelly bomb domination!...once you complete a full battery cycle and compare to other roms you will not mind the theming. Read/search the thread for how to mod it. You can get rid of the pull down graphic, slider and even the subdued background image that appears everywhere in v.8.0. At first I wasn't liking some of these either but now I barely notice them.

The answer to your search depends on whether you want to keep Touch Wiz or not. The upside to Touch Wiz is that you can still use S-Beam etc.

I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

i have left jelly bomb and am now trying Frankenstein's kill joy v2.1 and wow am i loving it.. talk about performance and batt life.. quadrants in the 6k range. able to oc to 1890 Mhz using voltage control! super clean ui. can use silkui morphology mods to customize how i want.
idk.. the jelly bomb drove me nuts.. to much theme.
its was fun for the first 3 hours.. but yeah. it didn't grow on me.
i wish there was rom ratings poll.. for each device. and a stability rating along with the rating. if anyone knows someone or is capable of making this happen.. id be all over it! i know there is alot of junk troll crap out on these forms. I was looking at a rom to flash.. and baised off of OP it sounded ligit! then reading through the thread i soon found out that no one had been able to get the thing to even boot.. why cant posts like this be FLAGGED. idk. maybe the moderators were doing a crappy job or something. seems like they come in when least needed half the time ha. anyways. thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction!!!!
gladd this post didnt get deleted.
as for suggestions i think i will try PARANOIDANDROID. i had it running on my epic 4g touch and it was snazzy.. i dont remember why i left it.. i have "the collective" on e4gt now and was loving it.
anyways happy flashing and wish me luck!!

what do you think??
I'm in the same position. I upgraded from my 3 year old EVO 4G and am looking for where to start. This is a whole new learning lesson for me after being so use to roms and upgrading on the EVO. Are there some stable stock roms that have the sprint applications removed already? Which recovery is preferred as well. The EVO pretty much had only one recovery that worked well and Clockwork wasn't it. Not it appears there are 5 or six. TWRP is looking pretty good.
*Maybe this should be it's own thread. Hopefully with better spelling.
the peoples rom has ktweaker and i was able to land this
