I was looking at the t-mobile site today at the galaxy tab for t-mobile. I understand that there are certain things that we are missing because we do not have access to full Froyo vibrant build. I would assume that a Dev has looked into this but maybe not..
Would there be anything that we could take or learn from that operating system on the tab that would help with the vibrant ROM builds to get it closer to stock. drivers ect...
Any ideas on this?

With that out of the way before I get flamed I just wanted to answer a couple questions that a few have had regarding when we can see 2.2.1 on the Vibrant.
Heathen was kind enough to port 2.2.1 for us back in December but unfortunately some files are missing (most likely having to do with T-Mobile network.) We ran into a problem with getting a soft semi-boot when the signal level reached -80 dBm. That left us with a phone that worked flawless if we didn't need to go outside. Several of us have been searching for the last month or so trying to find the problem to no avail. Tonight I tried something else. I successfully ported a different 2.2.1 rom to my phone and again it is flawless, but again that is if I don't want to leave my house. Same semi-soft-boot at -80 dBm.
Now if anyone wants to jump in and give some insight as to which files need to be changed or added please do. Rest assured though several people are still trying to bring 2.2.1 to you as well as 2.3. When a stable version of either is ready we will gladly post it.

Are there plans to create a Telus forum?
I have both a Samsung Galaxy S T959D and a Galaxy S 4G T959P. When I go looking for answers in "like" phones I normally get told that this is not the place to ask or did you search the forums? I would be nice to have one place for Telus related issues. All I want to do is root my phone but I have talked to other Telus users that have used the forums and wrong software and failed miserably.
Thanks and Best Regards.
For rooting your phone, I'd suggest you go to the respective forum for your devices.

Hi System,
That is just it, there is no forum for anything Telus specifically for me Samsung T959P or D. From what I have read, the hardware is different for this phone and has the potential to become a paper weight if we use advise from phones that look like ours but the different internals.
Maybe someone has already asked the question for your specific device? Try the search function with your device version. If nothing appears, maybe specify it in your question.
If you can't get help on a Galaxy S forum, I don't know where else
The thing is if XDA created specific forums for each carrier branded phone it would get quite cluttered.
Okay System, I understand, but I had to give it a try. I probably just have to wait a while. The update came out on Saturday from 2.2 to 2.3.4 so eventually someone will figure it out.
Thanks for your time. You can close the thread.
Alright, so I got a Samsung Galaxy S II LTE I9210, and I want to root it.
This is not the right section of the forum, I know, but its the closest to my device, so meh.
Don't tell me to go search around the forums and google because they are all outdated and I looked through all of them before posting.
All the other posts state that the method out there will break the soft key functions, and that is pretty bad.
Is there any finalized way to do it without the chance of breaking the functionality of the softkeys?
As well as OTA updates, I want to know if there is any ICS builds for this phone released. Where I live, even if you don't have a modified phone/rooted phone, you will not get any OTA updates, any way to find out if you can get the ICS update?
Thanks,
Nicholas

Forgive me if there is already a thread relating to this but I couldn't find one in the development section, or on YouTube.
I'm kinda confused about rooting my tab because every guide or video seems to be relating to the WiFi version of the tablet. I got mine through Rogers.
I don't have mine on a contract, but I could get a data plan with it. I believe it's 4G.
From what I can see it is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-7500R, and below that it says WiFi 16 GB.
Would the guides under development work for my tab? Or am I going to need to use a different method?

Hello Everyone!
I am an old man when it comes to this website but a young steer when it comes to posting on it, I have been lerking these forums for a while with the Droid 1,2,3,4 and now Samsung GS4 all from Verizon.
I was curious of opinions on the Ubuntu Touch Operating System... Would you like to see it come to the Verizon S4? I personally would love to. Do you think it will make it or do you think dev for the S5 will take over? Just looking to get ideas on what to do with this phone when its old and grey in a few years. I have been trying to make my D4 into a MP3 player forever but cannot find a 'simple' ROM to run it on.
Best regards,
Colton22
I know it was being worked on for different S4 variants, but there's no way to make it worked on locked bootloaders so far. I don't know if that's possible. But there's a native booting Ubuntu set up for the AT&T S4 and I think there was a version of ubuntu touch released but it wasn't near complete last I saw.
EDIT: Also, make sure to ask questions in the dedicated Q/A section

Bootloader Locked == No.
I was really curious and am still hoping to even a similar themed light weight rom. Sorry about posting in the wrong section and it has been noted
