[ROM] Tweaked Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Most Roms I've found here are based on T-Mobile base and work great but I've been longing for a tweaked Telus-based Rom for my T989D. The result was the following Rom:
-Removed Touchwiz Launcher and replaced with Apex Launcher
-Numerous tweaks to build.prop
-Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned
-Busybox
-Numerous init.d scripts
-CPU Sleeper Script (Thanks to eugene373)
-Google Now (Thanks to cajunflavoredbob)
I will be slowly evolving this as I learn more about Rom making and get a chance to talk to some more experienced devs (such as 14-toggle, etc.).
You can download it here:

If you have any questions feel free to ask but keep in mind I'm a complete newbie. Suggestions are welcome!

Personally, I haven't really studied the difference between the two versions. I do find that the Telus base is more stable on my T989D though.

Completely understandable, the truth is I put this up to speed up the learning process through criticism and advice . Yes it is rooted, I will update the description.

herp ^

For now, I am running stock Telus Rom. I rooted my phone, and flashed TWRP 2.2.2 Recovery. There are so many ROMs for this phone I have a problem choosing the right one But I will definitely be waiting for this one!

Ok, now this ROM interests me. Have the Darkside Telus ROM backed up on my phone right now as well. I will be trying this for sure.

social hub
is the social hub included in the rom? And by the way, the best one I have tried:good:

Thank you that's very generous. I'm afraid the hubs aren't included, however, it would be a simple matter of adding the apk to the system/app since I have not messed around with the framework that makes the Samsung apps work.

+1 and this way if something goes wrong it wont because that.also different devs do different processes to produce a rom while some might be interchangable its more likely that things will go more wrong
I would not dirty.....flash fresh and clean is the best and eta 10 mins
still no uploaded file yet?
how big is the file?.
Damn wildchild, where you at on this one??? Quick draw McGraw over here beat you to it.
And you wont lose root if you use mobile odin pro, that app is the balls!

Why thank you sir.
V3 or V4?
As we wait for the upload - can you tell me which version of FROSTY this is based on?
there was a new update for Frosty (being uploaded right now I beleive) and I didn't know if this was Ver 3 or Ver 4?
(regardless - thank you for porting it - it is an incredible ROM)
I loaded Frosty v4 on my ATT phone, it works absolutely flawlessly. Everything about it is perfect.....except for no BT tethering. I think i can get that working though.
I did too, along with Ktoons' latest TW kernel. So far, seems much better than other stock JB roms/leaks available.
is the download Link on the T-Mobile page.
Yes and the link to the tmobile thread is in the OP
Thank your sir

A few reboots with whatever kernel it came with, maybe I need to get Ktoons' latest on there. How's your battery life looking?
Battery life is better than the other JB TW roms. A little too early to tell, but I think it may be less and AOKP. That should be expected though since AOSP based roms are so stripped down. My phone is actually rebooting now from me putting the original kernel back in it to try it out. I couldn't get KTweaker to work, it kept force closing on me.
What do I need to do to flash a TMobile Rom???
I'm not saying this will work for you, but for me I just flashed it like I would any other. I believe I read somewhere that this will only work for tmobile roms. Do not try to flash a verizon or sprint rom.
You will have to put in your apn's yourself, but they are easy enough to find.

Telus Galaxy S 2 X (T989D) To Receive Official JB Update Late Decmeber

Nice to see that we will be officially getting the update to JB. I know we have been able to get it for months via AOSP, but still nice to see what the TW version will have to offer.

what ROM should i get if i want touchwiz?

i just rooted my phone and i'm ready to install a custom rom, what i basically want is a debloated with touchwiz rom, additional features/options would be better
The one you get after searching lol, but seriously just look in the Dec section not og dev, the other one and then just read. I suggest something of DjIntrigue

Seems like in general if you want good battery life go with a near-stock ICS rom, frosty is a good one but there are several to choose from. I'm currently trying serenity 1.2 LITE right now, it's pretty nice so far but I've only been using it a few hours.
After finally getting rooted yesterday (woohoo!), I flashed Stock sX v3.0. Awesome.

I would try anything from Wildchild. He mods stock ROMs both ICS and JB and they work great. I'm running the Xquizit xD v31(JB) and couldn't be happier. You can find it in the gs3 development forum.
Battery life is good and v 31 comes with all the tools you might need. You can also flash the Kitchen v 10 with it to customize your ROM.

Temporary do to someone stealing his work and it is a downer in general, besides we are on the verge of Official JB. So no point in spending so much time working on a rom that will be rebased and redone all over.

Thank you. I read, and understand, everything you posted/wrote. One question: Does this include the stock radio, or is it just the stock ROM and kernel?
EDIT - Got another question. I don't want to assume, so I'd rather ask. Since all that you did was root it I take it that you didn't deodex it, so it's all stock odexed?

Its deodexed. Thats why rom devs and cooks or users can use this to modify it into custom ROM.
Use root explorer tool and take a peek or 7zip. Or double click the zip file in linux ubuntu etc.
Ill update the op......
And yes stock tmo kernel no radio
Kernel is insecure which is same thing just better.

Rushing, I flashed the IQ removed version, and know I want the ripple effect one (wife's phone, so I don't want to reflash cause I already updated all apps etc. etc)
If I want to change it, should I download the ROM with the ripple effect, and make a flashable for only the framework-res.apk, or there is something else I should do.
If you have the flash.zip for that mod (that includes the tethering IQ and ripple)
Thanks!!!
BDW, the ROM is working great. I installed others first but those still need some time to iron the mods they are getting into it, so I would rather stay in the safe side for now, until the others ROMs mature a bit.
Cool its always good to have a stock phone. then upgrade so you actually know/see what's upgraded

Should I be backing up the preload or anything else on this rom using twrp 2.5? Thx in advance.
