For this week’s T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 ROM of the week, check out latest BeanStalk ROM with Android 4.4 KitKat.
This is the first custom ROM ever available for the T-Mobile S2 with Android’s latest KitKat OS, and you will be able to experience first-hand what the fuss is all about.
If you are new to KitKat, see our Top 10 KitKat Features.
As KitKat is built for older Android devices, it should run really well on the T-Mobile S2. The BeanStalk ROM is still beta though. Although everything is working out of the box, you will see some random FCs and lags once in awhile.
Of course, you can always simply backup your current ROM, try out KitKat, and restore your ROM back.
But for now, this is as good as it gets, you can fully experience what’s coming with Android 4.4 KitKat on the T-Mo Galaxy S2 today, not tomorrow or next year so give it a test drive when you have free time and do let me know how you think of KitKat tastes.
Download:

BEFORE INSTALLING, UPGRADE your CWM Recovery to latest version by downloading the zip and installing with your CWM recovery:
Download and install CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3 for KitKat custom ROMs
To install, reboot into recovery, make backup ROM, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, install Gapps, and reboot. (If for some reason you end up in a bootloop, reboot into recovery, go to Advanced Wipe for TWRP or Mounts & Storage for CWM, format/wipe /system, then re-install ROM.)
Note: This ROM does not have root enabled by default but you can easily enable it for adb & apps in Developer options. If you do not know how to do this, see this video.
