i wish but seriously how come there are no AOSP roms for the ET4G?

ICS sourced dropped like a week ago, the device has been out for a couple months

The biggest problem is that there is no aosp kernel right now that works. So once we have that there is a better chance at getting aosp roms.

Well there's supposedly a build of CM7 Kang that works quite well on the SGSIIE4GT with some mod work. It was also sent to one of our main devs, Viper boy, and I'm pretty sure he and his team are ripping that thing apart line by line to make it work the best it can. They like to release finished products and they literally just got it yesterday... so.. idk hopefully soon!!!

I was just clarified that the ROM everyone is looking at is actually a kanged ICS port >.< sorry

Just curious, will it help once the Nexus-S 4G gets the official ICS Android 4.0 update from Google + Sprint, can any of that code be used to help make a ICS ROM for our E4T ?
Don't both phones share the same CDMA radios, and some similar Samsung hardware ?
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6

Hold up: Who exactly did you "clarify" that with? I'm only curious because I was the one who sent that kanged Rom to Viperboy, and it was MOST DEFINITELY NOT an ICS Rom when I sent him the link to my Dropbox. When, exactly, did it morph from a tired CM7 build into an ICS ROM?
Am I now known as an "underground smuggler" of ICS ROMs??

That is CM7, not the ICS version. Also doesn't answer what other devs will bring.
there are unofficial ports that are being worked on
but official from source might be CM9
unless some one here beats them to it
Let met me just look into my magic crystal ball, it should tell me which developer will be the first to release ice cream sandwich
You should totally expect us to be able to answer this question for you. We know when it will be released, but we would rather not tell you
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I dunno, you may be right. I know the CM team is actively working on it, that's more than I can say for any of the devs here. I mean, I could start to expect it from Team Kang but they've been a little silent on the issue.
I don't believe we have anyone that can just use the source to make it work on the T989 though. I believe everyone will need to use a base from somewhere else. I think we'll see it pretty soon after another device does.
I don't know anything though, this is just what my foolish brain tells me.
Someone is definitely working on an unofficial port
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It will come with patience, obviously.
you can expect many developers to want to start making a ROM based on it, since it its the newest version of Android

Sooooooo frustrating that no one has ics yet for our phone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Like others have already said, nobody knows for sure. Though it's very likely that cm9 will be the first ics rom available on our devices. There aren't a lot of devs that build from source, and if they do, they usually use cm as their base. Not saying there aren't talented people here...that's just what I've seen.
I took a crack at compiling from source, but with 3 kids and a fulltime job, my time is limited. There's a lot that needs to be done...

You forget that ics came out 3 - 4 weeks ago. Building a rom takes patience, time, and testers. Not magic.

Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

Maybe because we read what team chopsticks says. They have become part of the official cyanogenmod team, and means when enough bugs get worked out, it will be the official cm9.

You guys should check the CM9 thread in the dev section and find one of the unofficial builds from the last few days. They have the audio issues fixed and are solid daily drivers.

Definitely might do that. Was hoping to get the streamlined kernel going in darkside but had no luck, so cm9 will probably be my next rom. Thanks for the heads up.

I've ported it to the AT&T S3 but haven't made a thread for it yet because I have one bug left in it, call audio doesn't work. I could port it to the Sprint S3 and upload it in this thread if anyone wants to test it. Call audio should be the only bug, well if there's any bugs in CM10 those will be present too.

The more ROMs the better
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
well im personally using aokp right now. it takes care of a lot of the cm10 bugs and it has a few customizations that i really enjoy already baked in (i.e. center clock and circlemod battery). the main reason i want the paranoid android is the in depth ui changing. and with jellybean now having 3 different uis baked in id love to go through and tinker with all of that. i really want the 7inch notification bar ui and the tablet camera ui ( i love the option wheel look). but just like it was mentioned earlier, more roms is never a bad thing but the only way i see me giving up aokp is for some PA love lol
Yup it is pretty badass

I'm pretty sure that this is because Samsung hasn't released 4.0.4 kernel source for the T989. Otherwise, I am sure Faux would have been all over it.
The reason there are no custom 4.0.4 is source has not been released. Until it is, everything will be stock based.

I posted a question about the kernel being built from source and the camera failing, I have yet to receive a response in both Rootz and XDA. Also when contacting Samsung they said they could not help. I know it is something that I am missing and the source is not the newest version, but I do not know what to look for. I have been looking at the Galaxy Tab and Skyrocket custom kernel sources.
Wow still nothing...i think we have the only phone that doesn't have a current custom kernel...maybe this is the end? Although there are over 10 roms...very strange
