(Q) MIUI for our GTabs?

I was just wondering if it was possible to get the MIUI rom ported over to our beloved GTabs since we already have a little CMmod ported to it? Scroll down about half way and you'll find pics of the rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823494

that is pretty awesome looking. I wonder what it would take to get that ported over to our tabs, great find.

I have been working on porting MIUI over with no success so far.
I have also been playing with a Gingerbread rom, but having too many issues to even call it pre-alpha.
So far I have not released any Roms, I am still developing my dev-fu. Hopefully one of the more seasoned devs can beat me to the punch.

Moved to general

I figured someone had to be working on this. I've heard too many great things about this rom for someone not to. Hopefully you're not alone in your quest and others are digging away at it behind the scenes. Also eluminx, this rom has been around for some months now. It can from a Chinese developer/rom and was ported over to the Incredible first (*I think, not 100% sure) and then it snowballed from there onto other phones. I never was able to try it on my Droid X because the bootloader was locked and I think I read a custom kernel was needed to get it running. (Can't get that on the X...booooooo!!!!)

I'm not what you would call "up to date" on the whole android roms. Needless to say aside from my gtab i've only rooted my mt3g and i have only experienced 2 roms total on that phone. But thanks for the info, hopefully i can get a new phone here pretty soon, and decide to try more roms just for the fun of it.

Has Development slowed down!

Is it me or has development slow down a bit! It seems it started out strong and lately we haven't seen much aside from Faux and CM updating their ASOP roms.
I mean we don't really have any themers either! I know if I could I would make some!
Coming from the Vibrant there was a lot of themes and dev going on!
Now I know it's been less than two months, but the way it started out I thought we would have more going on!
I guess maybe everyone is waiting on the GB update when ever we get it!
...

we waiting 2.3
gonna be here on 06/16/11

I hope GB gets here on 6/16 that would be the best B-day present I could get lol

I have a replacement unit coming the 22nd, I hope it comes with 2.3 already in it!
...

There are lots of themes. CM7 uses T-Mobile themes and they are downloadable in the market.
No reason to mod stock unless you install the cm theme support.
LG G2x CM7 2.3.4

couple things.
waiting for the gingerbread source from lg to insure everything needed will work. and dont want to release a rom at this point where i cant tell if reboots , wifi, 4g(whre it shuts down than takes a while to start again), as well as gps.
when these features are working on the phone as should than ill start the rom, but no care to spend days trying to figure out why something doesnt work when its the darn baseband that i cant mess with.
themes. the theming engine has taken over unfortunately. it does theme and is a lot easier for the themers(after they learn it) since 1 theme works on all roms. but its just not like the old days where every app was themed and such. some have taken time to write scripts and such so they can make a better more inclusive theme with it , but most of the themes for it are color changes and icons not full themes with every app themed as we were use to . I know several of the themes that are on my rom for the droid would never be able to be as complete through the theming engine. but it does ok just different. and does enable many more themes available to all roms. and its not like a this or that themes can still be made the old way. but with the old way you need to update the theme with every new build(framework) of the rom so since these roms are in constant change at this point i dont think many are spending time theming it. especially froyo.

Honestly I can't speak for everyone but I have to many projects going on and I don't want to release buggy roms to you guys. I have not stopped working but I would love to see 2.3 drop as it would be (hopefully) more stable in general as they had time to get the bugs out.
Look at it like this the more time we have to spend working on battery drivers the less time we have making good roms. LG did not tell even close to the truth as this was supposed to be a true google experience (MY ASS IT IS) so we already had to spend countless hours removing BS they left it from the O2X.
Anyways look for more stuff soon I am sure as currenlty I am working on my rom again and I know of other hidden stuff getting done. (sorry can't say what all it is yet)
Later.

i was gonna do a quick port of my rom for my own use but when i looked at the source code for g2x froyo-- it appears al they did was remove the instruction sets for the overlay of the o2x all that crud is in the framework and elsewhere and just seemed like to much hassle, so waiting for the gb and hopfully a more stable driverset and baseband.
or keep the life i actaully have now that was non existant for the 9 months i developed for the droid 1
maybe ill just leave it up to you

Personally I say the more the merrier as I really do care about the end users. I hope to see more people jump in even if it is only a rom modded by adding removing a few things as everyone has to start somewhere.
Anyone can use my rom as a base all I ask is some credit or atleast send me a pm.
And I will always try to answer any questions as long as I got the time

too true

more options are good.
my rom was called sourcery so it kinda had to be from source
i am not with the co0developer of that anymore so id have to comeup with another cool name. but still rather do from source than others base , but might use lg gb as a base if they release it.(hopefully without all the o2x crud) or let us make use of it 1 or the other.
but yeah all the initial launch build was is a o2x froyo themed rom.
have you played around with the animated pull down stuff. looks kinda cool and on the g2x it shouldnt hurt performance much. kinda something new.

I would love to see another rom made from source. I have been working on a 2.2 from source but not even close to being release ready as buggier then crap
Anyways I am sure the crack flashers would love another rom to try out

2.2.2

2.2.2 i think is not as stable as 2.2.1 i lost 200 on quandrant with it not sure why but from 2.2.1 same rom same mods.
Over all its ok. i released the 2.2.2 rom 3 days after the source was released. did a serious rebuild from scratch since i was about ready to release the 2.2.1
i remember i had a couple bugs i had to figure out that werent on 2.2.1 but i forget what they were .
you have any questions or need a little help drop me a pm.
ill help where i can.
this is a link to my rom since i think only people on verizon have ever heard of it

@tweezit I for one appreciate all the work you guys put into supporting this phone. I know it takes a lot of time and hard work. If seems some of us are impatient it's only because we are. Seriously, you are making a great device better and I thank you for it.
@Eagle1967 Just checked your Rom out and I would love to see a port...really slick stuff there...great app inclusions and love the blue/black theme.
I'm wading into this myself...been playing around with it but any kind of release is at least a couple month away...if ever. Really makes me appreciate what you guys do.

thanks

when i started i knew nothing. i started in august last year was late september before i actaully got my first build that completed and installed and ran and first release was on christmas so took a long time but i started with no knowlege of any of it. still not always sure what i do to make it work it just does
yeah it took 9 months of my life part of the reason i stopped(part ).. but it was fun and made me feel like i accomplished something. i cant believe how popular the rom still is since i havent really done anything with it since febuary but it was the first custom rom with froyo 2.2.2 and actually was for quite a while until some gave up on gingerbread and went back i think there is still only 1 other 2.2.2 rom for the droid though.
if you have any questions feel free to pm me. ill help you out if i can.

[Q] Android 3.0 Kernal/Source Code????

So i have been reading and seeing alot of people wanting a rom that ports honey comb to be compatible with the g2x... ive been reading all about how google hasnt released this yet and probably wont be releasing up until icecream sandwhich is released. But this is where my question forms, to port honey comb to be compatible with our device the source code needs to be found, the same source code used in development of apps for the 3.0+ os correct? i might of stumbled accross something but i doubt its a new find as im sure this topics been searched very throughly. Could someone please reply to inform me of what information is needed to begin development of a rom that ports honey comb to our phones.

It was tried in the nexus one forum, there is a port but unfortunately not fully working you might want to search for it very interesting stuff and they managed to get pretty far along.

As much as we would all like something new, honeycomb is for tablets. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it doesn't make alot of sense to me to port something meant for tablets and have to change EVERYTHING to now make it fit a phone. Not to mention the apps made for honeycomb are made for a big screen, which again we won't have.

dont get me wrong GB is fine with me till ICS comes out, i just read about people making new roms and there always being a honeycomb port request. and for the stated problem of the apps on honeycomb are meant for larger screens, would it not just make since to adjust the resolution in the framework down to 190 when the rom is being made rather than leave it up to the end user to do it? this is all just thoughts, and i wanted to see if i found the correct source code for whomever decides they want to attempt to build a rom off honeycomb, as stated i do not have the developing know how as of now to do such a build.

CM9 Alpha release for SGSII

Theres an alpha version of CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410400
i don't see many devs for our infuse.. will we ever have ICS ported?

The more people beg and gripe the more devs will feel less obligated to release ANYTHING. There are plenty of great ROM's out there, give some a try! Preoccupy yourself.

Yeah stop crying and live with what youve got. Dont like it? STFU and get a sgs2

well our dev is a bit slower but the same thing happened with cm7. nobody appeared to be working on it. someone gave a dev a phone to port it. the dev didn't hold up his end. then out of nowhere Linux bozo pops up with a near perfect port. I don't think you will know about a port till it is flashable and the devs that can do it seem to keep things to themselves till it is worthy of posting.
things move faster on the sgs2 cuz its an international phone and prolly the most powerful one on the market. they have a ton of devs with a ton of experience. it doesn't mean we are hopeless. just keep faith and be patient. it will likely happen but there are hurdles. if it doesn't happen then get another phone.

has NOTHING to do with the infuse should be closed

i figure that by the time im ready for a new phone the infuse will get ICS.
while u wait try some current ROMs. I have tried a few of them but keep going back to a oldie but goodie (Infused ROM)

You got one thing right...lol...its a oldie

LinuxBozo didn't pop up out of nowhere - he had a repository for a VERY long time and anyone who was doing development was aware of it. It just went nowhere because he didn't have Gingerbread-compatible proprietary blobs.
The big breakthrough for CM7 wasn't LB coming on the scene - he was around for quite some time beforehand doing kernel development behind the scenes. The big breakthrough was the Rogers UXKG3 Gingerbread dump. That gave LB the blobs he needed to work with.

CM9 Development

So i noticed that Tbolt is getting the CM9 support. Any devs out there plan to make a CM9/AOSP or anything else build? Id love to know! Im excited for Liquid SMooth ICS rom.

Where did you read that at? Link?

it was confirmed in this Q & A session with Cyanogenmod 4th questoin down. Info originally provided by http://forums.androidcentral.com/th...6-cm9-will-coming-officially-thunderbolt.html

Well I'll believe it when I see it I haven't seen anything else from CM showing support for Mecha at all there isn't even a forum for it. So far none of the developers aren't going to make a new RIL so until there is a leak or an update we won't see fully working ICS in any fashion. TwistedUmbrella and ProTekk have both made great progress in getting things work but RIL won't work until HTC releases the goods. So who knows maybe once that happens CM9 will get official and release a nightly and make a forum idk.

Workshed has been the CM guru since I've had a smartphone. When the ril is cracked or leaked for ics I'd expect an unofficial cm or official

Well Twisted Playground uses parts from CM9 I think. To be honest I could careless about CM9 between AOKP and Twisted Playground we got the goods.

+1 Twisted has an awesome base for his ROM, and I personally appreciate him waiting for an official ril. I personally want a working stable ics ROM, not another unofficial cm with half assed data that gets no updates like 99% of thunderbolt ROMs.

There was not a forum for a lot of phones they had committed to yet (like the Galaxy Nexus) last time I looked.
I would not take that as a negative sign. A forum will come when the kernel comes I am sure.

the Galaxy Nexus has a forum. But yeah idk ever since the whole CM7 thing I kinda gave up on CM.

Well, either way you look at it Cyanogenmod is such a unique ROM, made such a huge splash that parts of it were implemented in vanilla AOSP in 4.0 by Google. That's huge. And I can't say I know of any other ROM that's done something like that. So having official CM9 support is a massive plus, and I know exactly which ROM I'll be running when it happens

You guys really need to go to Rootzwiki. The development for the TB is happening there, there's already a CM9 port and two AOSP 4.0.4 ports with all but the RIL working.

All those are posted here except liquid ICS I think. But the only one that has actually been updated and released for quite a while is Twisted Playground and that is here and on Rootzwiki. I would say currently Twisted Playground has the most working. Once RIL is released in one form or another ProTekk will update AOKP idk if Liquid will update his or not from what I could see it didn't really differ a whole lot from AOKP. So we just have to wait once there is a working RIL we'll get more updated working roms.

Tbolt channel of Rootwiki and Androidcentral do seem to be a bit more populated then xda. Either way, dont care where it happens, il be checking all 3 as much as posible for CM9 and / or ICS ROMS

Rootzwiki is better for somethings but lately Twisted Playgrounds thread on XDA has been better.

Yeah I bounce back and forth between the two.
I don't know what it is, but I feel like XDA is my home and always will be.... I miss when it was THE centralized location for Android development
