anyone know if cyanogen's blog post about

" TI OMAP4, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660/7X30, and Samsung Exynos will be the focus."

includes us too? i know we have a qualcomm snapdragon, but our model is MSM8260 SoC....im leaning to a no

[PetePete1612]

yes and no, they're currently working on cyanogenmod 7.2. They'll finish cyanogenmod 7 first. How fast it goes that decides the developer but there are a bunch of developers who're currently working on cyanogemod 7 for he T989, that means we'll get cyanogenmod 9 after cyanogenmod 7 is released. (currently there is no cyanogenmod 9 on the T989).

The MSM8660 is the CDMA version of the MSM8260.  Other than the radios, they're identical.  If one's the focus of development, odds are the other is as well.

I´m waiting for the normal "stable" release of Cyanogenmod because thenit´s available over clockworkmod and because I like to get Wifi Calling on my T989.

here are some guys who already flashed cyanogenmod. I think the camera still has some issues and some calling issues.
And to come back to Ice cream sandwich, the problem with android ICS is that it uses a different performance and gpu driver, which is better, because that gives the high end smartphones more power and more battery life, but the disadvantage is that they have to adjust parts of the T989 source to ice cream sandwich. That can take a while

$20 just donated with note placed in Paypal stating that the donation is to be used for development on CM for the SGH-T989 (T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2). Currently running Eagleblood_1.1 but miss all the features that I had on my CM'd G2X. Can't wait to hear about the progress!

The CM7 Self-Kang Alphafied #2 is working perfect so far for me, no problems at all with calls, sound or gallery, camera is working perfect for me as well.   I running this for the past 5 days with no problems at all, the battery life if good so far with 21 hrs with medium to heavy use.  I think Slayher did a very amazing work for an Alpha stage ROM.

Where did you get that build? XDA?

I would think that now he has a conflict of interests. Do you think Cyanogen is going to bake into the CM product a way to enable non-detectable wireless tethering when his employer (Samsung) clearly has built it in as to comply with the requests of the wireless carriers?

That is an interesting point. I remember reading, on twitter or somewhere, that being to continue with cm was a condition of his upon being hired.

So i Installed the Alpha#2, one thing i found was that i cant get into my amazon appstore...part of the problem is when you switch from numbers to letters, the letters wont type...for example, try typing

ur2blame4 or something like that, the numbers sometimes wont go, i've done a clean install, dalvik, cache, wipe, ect...


*UPDATE: it seems like using a different keyboard fixed my issue, im using the BETA for swpye...although i still cant get into the appstore, i dont know why i can login via website ez, just not on deh phone

**UPDATE: Well, since i mod my phone every 2 seconds, the amazon appstore limits devices, and i had like a billion Samsung devices, got rid of them all and im good now

He probably has like 5 other different Samsung phones as well for testing out his dev work @Samsung (I am guessing he is not in marketing) ...  Question is, which one is he using day-to-day!

Maybe this stuff will be useful to some of you. Thank you so much to Slayher for getting us root. Bubby323 for everything he's done as far as insecure kernel and stock dumps...etc. AdamOutler and Entropy512 for their assistance and guidance. Teshxx for all of his contributions. Sammydr10 and LuckyDuck69 for throwing in their time and devices for the cause. Gosh... I think that covers most ppl. But thanks to everyone who helped to get the ball rolling for the T989.

Would it be a bad idea to run Odin with Wine? Is there a linux compatible tool for flashing the t989?

There is heimdall for Linux. Not sure if its compatible with the t989 though. I used with my vibrant .

I used Odin with Oracle VirtualBox in Ubuntu 11.10 running an XP guest...you'll need the extension pack for USB device support (and OSE version doesnt have this - so you'll probably need to download it manually, etc..) but it did work fine for me.

PS -the non-OSE version is still free for non-commercial use,

[weedpatch.2]

Do we have any further information on this? I just got myself the E4GT and loved the SGS2 so much that I bought my wife the T989... I REALLY need CM on both... Damn, too stressed, now I need a smoke...
