New and Excited - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey everyone my name is _Thursday and im new to the SGSII Forums.
My previous device was the Samsung Vibrant, I was still running Bionix 1.3.2 and was in heaven. Never had an XDA Account before, never felt it was important to have one if I could just come to the site and download exactly what I needed. My girlfriend got me this phone on my birthday last week and as embarrassing and pathetic as this may seem, Ive touched this phone more than her so far, LOL . Im no noob, although my account my say I am, I can cook ROMs and make themes. Anyways I have a ROM in the making, hope to release for you guys soon. By the way I have spoken with FiveOhFox and he is a great guy and I hope to work with him after my ROM is finished. I hate touchwiz so please expect a touchwiz free build, more of an AOSP clone. Well im sure you all are tired of reading so I will be ending this, wish me luck out here in this big Android universe.
Cheers from _Thursday

Cool. Glad to have you here.

Hey all I just wanted to introduce myself

Im Alex and i just got this awesome phone a few weeks ago and i just got around to rooting it last week.. Im currently on Malice which is infriggincredable this and blue ray are just pure friggin art.. you guys are def masters of your craft.. I came here from the galaxy s 4g forum for which raver is single handedly doing awesome things there.. I just had to have this beast of a phone.. i chose the white one cause i like the silver around the white.. anyway i just wanted to say hi to all.. this is the second phone ive rooted so im pretty much a newb.. im not a flashoholic however these incredible roms make it difficult not to.. thank you to all you all for all the great work you do....
Welcome, give beastmod v5.0 a shot, it's my favorite rom so far next to darkside mod.

Welcome! Hope you're happy with your new phone. Personally, I love this phone, but know it could be better yet.
And before you ask, there is no ICS, MIUI, CM, AOSP, or AOKP on this phone. Also, use the damn search for your answer! Now gtfo, noob!
Lol, just wanted to say that before you inevitably get flamed at some point for asking a question. Here's a friendly tip: a few users (not all, but a few, and they're very vocal) in this forum need attitide adjustments. Take everything lightly here and don't let those few discourage you from asking questions or helping others.
Welcome again!

Also new here - kind of...
XDA-developers is a staple site for me. I check for new roms/mods/etc. every day multiple times a day. I finally got around to creating an account now that I feel I might be able to help others from experiences I've had. More so I've been scared to join for fear of being accused of noobdom.
Rooted and rommed Mytouch 4G, G2x, Sensation 4G, Amaze 4G, and waiting on my Galaxy S2 to come back from Samsung for an LCD replacement so that I can get my flashing fix! (I've been dying trying to use a blackberry in it's week's absence...)
Anyway, it's great to see that a fellow new member was treated with such kindness. Hopefully I'll receive the same hospitality.
Also, as a CS major I hope to be joining the actual developers soon. Learning my way around java and the android SDK at the moment. Wish me luck!

But I guess we shouldn't expect hardline reporting from the Solar Panel News.

Food For thought! Rom's Rom's Rom's

Starting Off, I just wanted to thank everyone again for getting me the T989, I love this Phone & I love everyone at xda for it as well!!!
Now, I can't help but laugh because when I first got this device I seen a ton of posts *****ing about the Rom selection...
We now have:
ICS CM9 Alpha
ICS TW
GB TW
GB CM7
MIUI/CM7 GB ( Coming today )
The Dev, has really picked up as of lately on this device & I can't be more happier than I am now
This thread is mostly pointless, but still I wanted to say thanks to everyone again!
Thank you!!!
~Eugene
I must say, y'all need to thank your skyrocket brothers, for without them you would have nothing
Lock for being pointless.
JK! I must say development has picked up and I've seen much less flame fests and useless posts than I used to.
You have been a huge contributor and without your help we wouldn't have half those roms! Thank you!
I gotta say Eugene, I'm pregnant. Don't you dare deny our son his parent! I forgive you.

Though I thank them, it is a bit of a stretch to say we would have nothing. If anything, we just wouldn't have ICS yet.
Very true!
Pretty happy with this device's development now
Good stuff,
Eugene, you're welcome to hop on the wagon with the rest of the team for CM9. I know you have some stuff rattling around up in your head about some issues we have on our tracker
I'm gonna be mad at you if MIUI ruins my finals week.
But really, it's awesome we have so many great devs on this device
without eugene, we would only have touchwiz roms.
hats off to him

Yeah the development is coming along nicely now. All the people who jumped ship for the nexus will be regretting it, very soon. This phone is the best phone I've had hands down, even the stock rom was quite usable. (Which in my experience, is rare.) I also love the fact that everyone is working together now, it's great, everybody wins.
Its nice to see some all these great roms. The hard part is choosing one.

I'm running Mind Trick right now, myself. What are the differences that you see from JMT to this ROM? rom looking at the description, it looks like it does not have some of the SGIII programs in it. I just came from a G2x and am blown away by wow fast this device is and how awesome the Dev's for it are (not that the G2x devs are not good).
Cheers!

The Sith is super fast and the battery is ridiculous. It has a red theme which is so cool, and you just have to flash to find out for yourself.

For you guys that are new welcome to the family of flashaholics, It will become a daily activity to flash everything you see. I've lost 6 pounds since I first joined :silly:. Back on topic, the most precious thing is to try out new things. Try them all. That's the reason they are made. But of top of my head The Sith would be a better choice due to its base. (4.0.4) Now thats not to say that it wont have MINOR issues. Its as you all see, brand new. Think about it as car testing. You dont buy the first one you test drive. With that said enjoy you new toys (devices) you wont regret it.Last but not least, the one thing that needs to be reminded, 1)read 2)read 3)read!!!! Its very important. There's fail safe options but mistakes happen. Google is your best friend. <end rant... Once again welcome to the t989 family:good:
Thank you!

If you haven't already, read up on backups and your recovery app of choice. I've learned the hard way in just about everything I can try and remove to make any ROM slimmer then the dev produces just for personal preference and deleting the wrong piece can and will cause you to need to reflash hahaha. Happy flashing

I asked him on twitter why was the thread closed.. this was his reply:
"i dropped all my roms. Not fun anymore"

Thanks for letting us know.
Yes, this is the first ROM I have used for more than a week. Glad at least it's relatively functional.
I wonder what lead to this... how many threads did he have? How many ROMs did he had out at once? Maybe there was too much demands and it felt like a chore..
Anyway, he has his reasons. We all need a break sometimes.. hope that's what this is and he'll come back.
Never

Really would like to see someone take over MIUI development here. The Sprint S3 scene can't be that dead, I see MIUI is alive and well for the Verizon version. Maybe we could entice them to come help over here?
Also, who was the guy who pissed Notorious off? Ban his ass.
