Mohkg Rom's & Themes - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

This kid is over at Rootzwiki, and besides all the drama, he is putting stuff out. good stuff. He responds to questions and is pretty damn motivated. i know he wishes he could be here, but he admits being stupid. i was stupid when i was 16 and ended up in a cop car. hes 16 and got banned, so im not holding it against him.

guitar hero

does anyone have a link to the guitar hero cab? greatly appreaciated
Seconded.... except my message is much to short
Me too Please !!
why is everyone so protective of it, ive seen numerous posts on this site with people claiming they have it yet noone wants to give it up. it'd be greatly appreaciated i mean we are all here for the same reason, to help eachother out.
Probably because its copyrighted
just because someone has it, it doesnt mean they are going to freely give it out to anyone. It's not being rude, just selective. For example, if I had this game. I would only give it out to other people that have contributed to this site, not just a bunch of leechers that gain info or software and have nothing reciprocating to offer. And secondly it would be via PM or other communication ways. Not posted publicly on this site (which is against site rules)
Put it this way.... i'm not going to tell you where ( again against site rules) but there IS a site that has this app posted ( cTacked version) but you will need to find out where it is posted for yourself.

Quite true, but isnt distributing edited versions of Windows Mobile O/S.
I am not complaining btw without Kavana and Rickys WM6.1 i would be stuck with BT Bloatware.
its really not that great. i was able to nail every song on the highest settings with little effort. its mainly good to just show off. plus you need a good interneet connection to get the songs

so you leechers keep your grubby paws off
I'm not a leecher. Never asked for a damned bit of your warez (I always hated the whole fake-music genre of games), but it seems like I hit a nerve with that comment. Guess if you have it, you're a leecher.
All I was saying is that having something like guitar hero makes certain people feel special...because they have it and others don't. If they let it out too liberally, just like the child in the schoolyard, they're not special anymore because everybody is the same again. They lose the "look what I got and you don't" shine.
It's a nasty attitude and shows that people really don't grow up. If you don't want to give it out, you really don't have to say anything at all. But it's the schoolboy in you that has to yell "MINE!"
To the original poster, Guitar Hero III mobile is available online. T-Mobile has it in their downloads as well. And I'm not sure who told you we're all here for the same reason: to help each other out. There are quite a lot of people here who feel they're at some elite status and can't be bothered with people who are where they were, say, ten months ago.
problem is, that most people dont contribute to this site ( or at least this forum) they sit here asking all sorts of questions, but never offer any help to others. Im not an eliteist.... i did what most techy type guys most like did when they first got their phones, they dabbled with it, figured crap out for themselves, and when they didnt, they found the almightly google for help. Once they started to put 2 & 2 together with what their phone could and couldnt do, they started offering help to others, and i stress help. Help is not giving out software that they have and saying: " here ya go! " help is actually resolving someone elses problem. and i hardly think that a software request is a problem. For those certain individuals that i've seen on this site actuall make a signifigant contribution to help others that are in need, when they've hit me up for software, i've always hooked them up, but for the ones that "hit & run" and have not had anything to offer to date, i dont give them anything. (and i stress give). its not like im going to be seeing these people on what you call the schoolgrounds anytime soon and i dont really care how many people have the same software i have. i do feel that some deserve it and some dont , based on their merit. simply googling guitar hero III and finding a thread in this forum, finding out that there is a guitar hero III for the mobile phone and then requesting it is not contributing anything in any way. ( BTW i've been with this forum since nov of 2006 and have had a smartphone since WM2003 so i dont know where you are getting your 10 months ago figure)
Nah, dude, that wasn't meant as a slight to you. I can't disagree with anything you wrote. I'm fairly new here myself (though I've had a smartphone since I had WM2003 on my Samsung SCH-i600 with Verizon). I joined it because it's a relatively well-respected forum in the smartphone community and a place that everyone asking questions elsewhere is sent to.
The problem is this forum just lacks moderation and organization. Being new here, I feel sorry for people just showing up and having to dive through this mess. Yes, a lot of questions get repeated. But it's fiendishly easy to say "justfuckinggoogleit.com" to the point that over 80% of a user's posts reflect that..again, without giving any real help. It makes the community look bad as a whole. That's what pisses me off.
I think being called a leech kinda set me off, too, since there's nothing on my phone (except the ROM) that's not either bought-and-paid-for or freeware.
im not calling you specifically a leech. im calling the people with 2 posts, one being "hey, can you also send guitar hero to me too??", leeches. they are the same retards that post 400000 times "HELP! ZOMG!!! I FINALLY GOT THE ROM TO WORK BUT MY KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS MESSED UP". ya know what i think of that? **** YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD. if you are too stupid to read or use the SEARCH function (not google), then you are too stupid to use a phone like this. i realize that most are just lazy and are above searching for the answer or reading a few pages..to them i also have a heart felt **** you.
if someone has 50 or 100 posts and asks a silly question, i will gladly provide the answer if i know it. but the guy with 2 posts in 6 months can go find it himself.
when your first reaction to an issue you have with your phone is to post it in a new thread....you dont deserve help. how about doing some of the legwork yourself instead of posting "i NEED a step by step set of instructions blah blah blah". what you NEED is a kick in the nuts.
and if you really feel that by us saying "go do a search the topic has been discussed 4500000 times" makes the community look bad.....how does the community look when you have a bunch of posts by people with 2 post to date, asking all the same questions as eachother? i think its retarded that some senior users actually have to use their signatures to list step by step instructions for some of the most talked about topics, just so they dont have to type it for the 10000th time. hows that make our community look? makes it look like there are a handful of people that know what they are doing and it makes the rest look like a buncha n00b tards that are leading eachother down the stupid trail.
SO damn true!!! On that note LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO
Dont worry gixxum , in all kind of forums there are newbie that made all kind of Questions, there are other that helps to this newbie and there are other how you that say **** to this newbie, it is normal, there are everything in this world.
Thanks

Apoligies for Referencing 4/20

I am apologize for asking for a green theme, but I have been looking everywhere for one and cant find it. I'm not just some idiot stoner, in fact I am somewhat educated and have a degree from UAB in computer science. I have just recently started learning how to work with the android phones as far as modding them.
I'm not a junkie, I promise, and if I were, do you think I would have a computer and a g1 phone. I am happily married and I support my wife and kids and am on my way to owning my own house. so please don't call me a junkie just over pot. I do not use drugs, smoke cigarettes, or drink. I just smoke.
I'm not trying to advertise to anybody about smoking and could care less what anyone thinks, and I think the problem lies in all the uneducated, ignorant people who think pot is more drug than alcohol.your trying to condemn me for smoking, when there are people going homeless from alcoholism. I'm sorry that my first thread was pot related, but I havn't needed to post anything else on here because all my other questions have been answered on other posts that I have read.
I already tried to use sirmez's green version of prodigal sun but every time I do it gets past the g1 screen but will just freeze at the boot screen.
For all those educated smokers and the ones that helped plead my case thanks for the support.
I am using cyanmod 4.1.10.1 recovery 1.4 on the dream g1 the only theme that I have been able to use is one from here called dream. I'm still asking for some help
UAB? You are aight with me....I'm from Birmingham.
But anyway, when the world figure that weed is less harmful and would be more profitable than cigarettes (esp. over here and they can tax the crap out of it), it's going to be legalized and everyone can all look back at that thread and lol....
I didn't even see why it was that deep but heh...*shrugs*
*and this is coming from someone who doesn't smoke, drink, or takes anything*
You should PM crotalusfreak here on xda or on twitter. He has a killer "legalize it" theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526659&highlight=legalize
and has put it on the market for the various home replacement apps (openhome, ahome, ect) but besides that, he is an extremely good guy and will possibly make you one or port his older one.
That thread should have been closed right away as there is a thread already for theme request. How about do it in the right area to begin with
I tried to use this legalize it theme but it wont work with my phone.

No just tired of XDA becoming a mess because of threads like this! No need for the first one as they can't read and even more no sense for this one taking up more space for the MODS to have to deal with. People are complaining of XDA becoming a mess and these threads are the reason why!!!!
Try to wipe, flash the ROM, reboot, cut off, drop back into recovery, and then flash Green_P_SuN it should not loop after that good luck

Yeah he is a good guy, he helped me by porting over a theme. Openhome is a good program, I used it before root. It did not slow the phone down much, and with a Cyan ROM it shouldn't be too bad at all. Might help with theme issues, and finding a theme you like and have it work. But you sure you want a theme like that? Would your boss mind if he walked up from behind as your checking your phone and saw the screen?
EDIT: saw that the newest openhome is having issues. Panda home is well reviewed and free.

XDA has been around a while, and the dream/android has been around almost a year. Forums by their very nature grow and become more jumbled with info and posts and repeated or useless info as time goes on. And while it is possible to slow this by posting correctly, searching, and other means, it will happen. You could archive old threads and try to gather up useful info into sticky threads, but there is no way to fix the "mess" other than a complete wipe of the forum. I can do searches and pull up threads from 2005 for example. Complaining that the forum is getting crowded and jumbled is like using a vacuum cleaner and complaining the bag is getting full. Forums are there for people to use to ask questions and share info/ideas. Some people do abuse the system with posts that neither provide useful info or ask questions. Some post without searching for answers. It will happen, but you do not have to be an a** about it, if you know the answer or better yet, know where the thread/post is that answers the question, provide a link, it will keep the new thread short and unused as the person can go to the proper thread. I agree that people should search before posting questions and search for longer than 2 minutes, but not everyone has time to search for hours for the answer to a question. My rule is, search for at a minimum of 15 minutes before asking a question, longer is better if you are finding related info and a little more digging will help. No amount of forum rules or bannings will prevent a forum from filling up and eventually becoming a "mess", merely slow the process at best.
^ was only saying this because of instead of locking delete them. They have before they will again so don't lock just delete.
Yeah, if a theme does get out of hand, deleting is good.
Its best not to argue on forums, friendly disagreements are fine. Most of the time, arguing on a forum is like arguing with a wall. Best to keep posts related to the subject matter, in this case Android related. Who cares if he likes the smoke and his first post is for a theme about it, he asked a question related to the subject of the forum.
I don't think someone should be banned or deleted just for posting in the wrong place or asking a question that a simple search would answer. However, if they make a habit of it and do it many times in a short time, a warning followed by a temp ban may be all that is needed. Of course a perma ban may be needed for repeat offenders.
This thread is off the general topic of the forum and he has said his piece and apologies, we can close this thread and move on now. No need for any more bashing or hard feelings and further craziness.
You're an idiot. There is no such thing as an "educated" smoker....you may have a good education and smoke pot, but that just makes you even more stupid. Millions of people also suffer from addiction to weed, and my guess is that you are one of them. Go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting and stop posting useless requests about drugs on this forum, its inappropriate and not "cool".

I see the D.A.R.E. program got through to someone. Way to go, buying the governments religion.
Smoking pot isn't a big deal. Get over it. People get addicted to anything they find comfort in. Look at all the obese people that use food as a crutch, or people that are addicted to running every morning because it makes them feel better.
Yeah the thread is useless, the guy is just new. Take it easy on him.

Ok first of all it would be more stupid. Stupider is not correct grammar. So before you go and start calling people stupid you might want to take a look in the mirror.
By the way before you come back and start throwing bad grammar again and calling me "stupider" for smoking pot or something I have never smoked or done any sort of drugs in my life. But, I do have a lot of friends that are what you might call stupider and they are actually very far from being stupid. In all honesty, probably way smarter than you'll ever be. But, enough fighting over the internet. I have other things to do. It's been fun though.
Ps. you don't have to defend yourself. You may be one of the smartest people to walk this earth. I am just basing that off the one post I have read from you and its grammar and narrow mindedness.

You Sir, are a F*ck!ing idiot! You really should educate yourself before making stupid comments. You are entitled to your own opinion. And, I will respect your opinion. But, its not Fact. As, you so irresponsibly stated. Society has an "image" of what/who a pot smoker is. They call them Burnouts, they say they're lazy, they live in Mom and Dads basement and play video games all day long without a job. I know upwards of 100 people that smoke. Every one of them are successful, educated, and decent human beings. One's you'd be proud to know. Societies image, applies to not one of them. Don't get me wrong. The others definitely do exist. But, weed is not their problem. Those people have other issues they are likely suppressing (Those people probably should not smoke. They aren't responsible enough.). But, you Sir, are a lemming. You choose to follow whats shoved down your throat by society, media, and the government. Learn to "educate" yourself about a particular subject before you make a comment about it. You will only be doing yourself a favor. Knowledge is power, Brother. Help yourself out. I am sorry for my rant. But people, please, have some backing to your statements.

Ya no kidding, its personal liberty if you want to take a shot of tequila, smoke a cigarette or hit a bong load you should have the right to do so. I have lived in 3 different countries and many states, I own a condo in downtown San Diego at the age of 25, and Im even the HOA president of the building. My lifetime resume goes on and on and on from Dive Master in Hawaii to acquiring my pilots license.
I have done all these things while smoking weed everyday of my life since I was 17. Granted Im not the average stoner but I dont think Im any more rare than the non-stoner that doesnt do anything with their life.
I have a hereditary condition that I have been prescribed marijuana for, without it I would live a much less productive life overcome by pain and nausea.

Why epic threads so anuul?

It has come to my attention of the selfless, careless, callous, irritated,nazis,trolling trolls in this neck of the woods. Why everyone bicker, nag, insult and ride off to the sunset in high horses? If anyone asks a question in the general section, he gets chewed up and spat out in a loogie. Then trolled and insulted in how much of a idiot he/she/it is. If someone says a question about what rom to use, he gets banned for not searching with the broken search button in which almost 99.999% of the time comes out a no results. What's with you people? Is mah screaming to get out the basement?
I dont know bro but im getting sick of it the only reason i still stick around here is for the developers and a few cool people which im one of them
U just have to deal with 70% people *****ing and whining which to me is just stupid, i like ptfdmedic said in the other thread its just a phone.. all phones have issues and xda developers here develop and fix as many as possible
quite frankly im amazed, we have amazing roms,themes mods , just awesome.
Honestly, it's not that bad. It USED to be, but I haven't noticed it as much. Nothing can be done; you'll just have to live with it, unfortunately.

Well, I usually avoid the Q&A section lol, so I don't really see the rude comments people are making. And, to make a point a point with the OP, I'm literally 14 (yeah, I know. What's a 14 year old doing on a site like this and hacking?), but my point is, I know better than to be rude toward others for asking dumb questions. Sure some are absurd, but really? Almost everyone who is new to this site might not understand some things, and asking questions is usually how people feel is the best way to get help. I'm not saying that they shouldn't do a LITTLE research before they ask questions, but it happens.

Who knows why, but this isn't the first forum to degenerate this way. Usually it takes a lot of careful moderating to get it back in line. Heavy moderating tends to kill the golden goose.

Anyway, back on topic:
Complaining about the trolls here makes you no better than them (well, depends how much you're complaining). I'm sure we can do something about it, but an approach so blunt like in the OP might be worded incorrectly, even though it's 100% true.
Wow David that song was pretty bad. But not the girl. Acer I have to say for 14 you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders at 14. Keep it up and don't pay any attention to the negative things on this website.

XDA School/Message to staff and Students

Remember how in High School or College you would have to DO YOUR RESEARCH to find your information before turning it in to your teacher or professor?...So far in the past 12 months this XDA School Research Skill and Overall GPA has dropped. In this SGSII class of the school, we are bringing our GPA up, and now we are on a level thats "considered passing". I was a new student in this class about 2 weeks ago and everyone made me feel like I was at home, but the rest of the school im not to sure about. XDA school was the one everyone went to about everything Android. Now since the teachers and students are slowly turning in degrees, we are loosing a lot of our students and teachers to other schools. We cannot let this happen because this is where it all started. We have to start gaining the quality of our school back, our prestige is dropping.
So lets get started...
Instead of teachers having to spend extra time assisting students, students should learn to RESEARCH and Experiment on their own time. Teachers only volunteer at this school. No paychecks, pensions, workman's compensation, just breaks and retiremen. Teachers should help students more and explain things more in a detailed fashion. XDA School is changing so we have to change with it. Dont fight it, go with the flow and make it work for everyone. There has to be a line to draw in the middle, where students can help one another, troubleshoot, and have fun with the teachers. Im a teacher myself and comming up with lesson plans that will hold everyone in the class over until I write a new one is not easy. Sleep is lost, donations are good, but overall not good enough to deal with the stress in our personal lives because we all go through it. Competition is always present but thats no excuse for teachers to critique other teachers. We may not be together in reality but we are a community, so lets act like it.

good luck. Popularity of this site attracts the people in school who just want to get by and have all the answers given to them. I can't see this thread going in the right direction. These threads just make things worse to be honest

it's not just this section, it's all over XDA, all the popular devices are like that, even the new GN section

I just thought it more people were aware of the issues we would be able to fix them together. Ill just have the principle close the class down if students and or teachers start to bring it down.

I miss people being go getters and trying to learn stuff themselves. I think everyone is willing to help a noob but only if they are willing to help themselves. That's what we have a lack of, people trying to help themselves.

The worse part about it is, the quality of the issues people report in threads. Most of the time they are "non issue issues" Meaning its not a bug in the ROM just a problem that they are having.
They will post their problem and hope for someone to get a fix for them and get upset when people flame them. The people who can fix the problem have no right to flame either. Fighting fire with fire has become way to common here. The people dont say things like "I looked online in such and such place but i dont understand what its telling me, or this method is outdated any updates on it", nothing like that, that shows they were putting fourth an effort in the first place. It was such a joy for me to research and learn because it led me to create ROMs and themes. I felt a lot better when I figured out how to fix my own problems and it made me a better Rooted android user.
I think te problem is "free stuff" attracts those type of people. Google has done a great thing with the open source stuff. I wish there was a system in place that encouraged organized companies to produce ROMs, granite that means those roms would be pay only and the current system doesn't work with it. You can choose to stick with the stock touchwiz rom OR you could pay to run aosp made by company X or you could download a free rom made by thursday. How much has this community donated to various devs in "hopes" they dev something good?
Android has blown up recently and people like to customize their phone. Old days of only tech geeks using roms are gone. People need answers fed to them. If they paid money for a rom they should be entitled to those answers given to them.
Agreed..
DARKSIDE...join us we have nice treats T989

Yea brother, i mean ill say yea again to that one. If people actually paid for me to deliver week in and week out id quit my day job seriously to work right here from home.
if you want money just have sammy start a thread for you
I was here from the start with the G1, granted out was a few months after the release, buy nonetheless I did my own research asked questions when I was TRULY stuck and solved my own problems by searching the threads/forums. People come in here (XDA) and "flame" one another for asking a question and folks that come in here creating threads and posts REPEATEDLY about the same topic. It honestly needs to be stopped and monitored more closely because all it does is clutter threads and makes it difficult for those trying to do it on their own.

I haven't been here as long as most but since I joined when I purchased my evo it went from thank you to gimme gimme. Not to mention the flame fests,including entire threads filled with pics about the ensuing flame fest. Infractions should start being issued a lot more frequently and even to the point of issuing them to the members who post nothing questions over and over again and get in a tiff when they don't get an answer for "why is my phone crashing after I didn't wipe from cm7 to sense"anyways just wish it would go back to respect and appreciation.

as ridiculous as it seems, Maybe their should be an entire thread dedicated to a Roms "Issues" - I know creating another thread means another one to view, but jesus think about how many times a market error question could be answered by the title of a thread there and the amount of pages it would save on any given rom. I know this is literally bending to the will of noobs who won't research, but if you can't teach them, at least try to confine them

I see what your saying but that defeats the purpose, if i create a market error thread, then theyll ask for just about everything, the flood gates would open right up. If people would stop being lazy then everything would be ok.

Its an inside joke (a good one too) based on the amount of bounty threads he does and how quick he is to start them.
Reading this thread bummed me out. I'm somewhat new to all of this, and in the last couple of months have learned an INSANE amount about the android OS and how to make it "mine". I would have never been able to do so without the much appreciated help of all the knowledgeable people here on XDA. Yes, I agree, there are a crazy amount of duplicate posts, and pricks, and mindless idiots who for some reason have no issue posting a bash on a hard working dev for no apparent reason (f#& k those morons). Here is my question. What do you think of someone like me, who asks questions when he is stuck, and probably will continue to do so whenever he is hopelessly stuck, but always shows appreciation for valuable help received? There seem to be plenty of people here who enjoy helping noobs like me. I've helped a few, and it felt pretty good.

New to the GS2 forum.

Hi guys, thought i would intoduce myself (even though ive been here about a week).
First off I'm in the US military im a redleg to be exact (field artillery) and have since about 2008, I'm married and have 3 kids. And also Im an asshole by nature, its nothing personal toward anybody ...as some of you may already know(and if im an asshole or offend anyone send me a pm and i will apologize).
On that same note I really not one for really caring much for what people think about me (including the guy right now reading this saying wow what a douche...lol) gets you farther in life and I am here to impress no one. With that being said I'm here to help out as much as i can (used to do some mild theming but its been a while) and soak in the knowledge and great roms the devs put out.
A little bit about my phone history...
I started with my first android which was a behold 2(sold), then i ended up with a mytouch(sold), then my reacent sgs4g (stolen), g2x (sold), and here i am with the GS2. in case you are wondering...i have a very short attention span when it comes to phones, im digging the gs2 though and think im sticking around for a while.
Welcome! 10
I like you already
what kind of asshole apologizes after being an asshole? come on man get some back bone lol
And just thought that all the guys that dont like me should know one thing...I have a giveAfuck bag but for some reason I cant find anything in it
