This thread will either be closed or changed to a generic AOSP 2.2 rom.
In the mean time Darchstar and crew has a Cyanogenmod 6.0 Froyo 2.2 Heroc ROM out.
The new thread for it can be found here.
In case your wondering 5.451 MFLOPS Linpack and 440 quadrant with jit enabled overclocked to the max and a couple secret tweaks. Others have reported higher on quadrant.
Working:
Calls
Data/3G
Wifi
Audio
Bluetooth
JIT
Camera
GPS
Google ****z
Bugs:
No preview in Camera app.
No native usb tether.

If you want the TouchWiz launcher it's in the nexus forums. It can now be installed like a normal apk on any 2.1 or 2.2 rom without modifying the frameworks. There still needs to be some resizing done to it but it runs very well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD BUILD: DO NOT USE
Here is a quick and dirty froyo port from the Nexus One.
I put this up for people to test and provide fixes. Don't expect a fully working rom until the full source is dropped or 2.2 comes out on a similar phone.
Main ROM:
Download:
Here is the first update:. It should fix opengl issues as well as add livewallpaperpicker, terminal, spareparts and devtools.
Download:
What works:
Data
Calls (can't speak to the other person)
New Launcher2
2.2 Google Apps (haven't tested them all)
Keypad/Trackball leds
Not working:
Audio/Mic
GPS
Wifi
Bluetooth
Maps force closes
Flash Player 10.1 from the market will crash the browser.
I'll provide fixes as they come.
Pro Tips:
None yet. Just thought it was funny. (btw the android tip app is called protips)
Credits go to:
toastcfh: for his kernel.
quietblongs/darchstar: for the sdk parts that got this running.
paul o'brian (modaco): for the rooted N1 FRF50 update.
Google: for making the damn thing

*facepalm* Okay, first off, you most certainly cannot learn C from a single forum post, you certainly can't become fluent in it without a couple of months put into it, and kernel deving is probably one of the hardest types of programming.
By all means, learn, but don't think it's something you can just look at and immediately know what you're doing.

So what exactly do you have to modify in the kernel to get the proper orientation or the headset jack fix?
And is your vibration extremely weak too?

To get proper headset logic, just replace you /path/to/cm/kernel/samsung/2.6.35/drivers/misc/sec_jack.c with the attached one (renamed to sec_jack.c, obviously). Alternatively, add the lines
Code:
#if defined(CONFIG_SAMSUNG_CAPTIVATE)
pdata->det_active_high = 1;
#endif
to the file between dev_set_drvdata(&pdev->dev, hi); and return 0; (near the bottom).
Orientation has not been fixed yet, someone just needs to port over xcals reorient. Whether that's me or someone else doesn't really matter.
And yeah, weaker than stock, for sure. Not unusable, by any means though.

Adding that line makes the headset work, but it kills wifi.
Edit: Actually, some changes that I made to the kernel yesterday also killed wifi. I don't know what's up there.

But the weird thing is that if I make any changes, even a single line, wifi breaks. If I go back and delete that line, wifi works again. So I guess for now it's either headset fix + voodoo sound w/o wifi, or no headset fix or voodoo sound, but with working wifi.
If there isn't a working captivate based rom/kernel for cm7 after about 2-3 weeks I will have some time to get working on this.
ytt3r is gonna be building a kernel in the next couple of days. he is asking for testers i believe.
I just reoriented and fixed headset jack. I'm going to compile tomorrow and see what's up. Since coolya's repo is broken, I still don't have source and I haven't compiled the rom, just the kernel. #cm7oncappy on freenode.

UPDATE 4.10.11 - Moving my learning curve towards a more user-biased concept - see x99percent or scaryghoul for GREAT kernels!
OP Here - http://romrepo.info/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20
WARNING! Will not have wifi working and will not work properly on cm nightlies 31+, newest MIUI, Evervolvs new release may still not have the new video drivers. See original link for details.
Git: https://github.com/smoothtaste/speedy-gb
Proof of concept, with my sd reader fried I need a bigger test base to see if its going in the right direction and actually being used by end-users. If anyone is up to helping me with merges and such while I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere it'd be pretty sweet
Original goal: bring an OC/UV kernel to the table for 2.3 aosp roms with proper smartass governor implementation *as per x99percents interpretation. Then as kernel matures implement into aosp build (A few of my fellow users have agreed to or already are working on this.)
Git cloned toastcfh, not used to having to list things publicly so my git is sloppy. ENTIRE kernel base is toastcfh. I just cloned him a few moments too early, cause the video drivers are already outdated.
Inserted freq/voltage tables found in x99's sense kernels. Also implemented x99s interpretation of the governors, great work.
Very special thanks to scaryghoul for repeatedly telling me how far too far really is, for giving me a couple great scripts (which I then misused, hence broken wifi.) And for just being a cool mofo who knows some shiz.
UPDATE 4.10.11 - Moving my learning curve towards a more user-biased concept - see x99percent or scaryghoul for GREAT kernels!
You have been warned, I am teaching myself at my own pace and there might not be ANY reason YOU should use this. Unless you wanna help me get better, of course.
REMEMBER! Not cm7 31+ or newest miui. Will have a VERY hard time scrolling.
Download - http://www.mediafire.com/?q2ga68mqvwsawsb

Changelog!
V.0.0.fail
Merged with toastcfh 3.27 - integrated x99percents freq tables and governor patches. Made into flashable zip thanks to scaryghouls script - and in turn destroyed wifi functionality. My mistake :X
If anyone does this on the correct roms I'm looking for battery life and performance infos. If we get a lil attention, we'll go ahead and bring the public release up to date.

Not really, AOSP can't have camera for a while(Only reason TB didn't to AOSP). Plus Tbalden is the only active Dev making Kernels. All of our Devs are amazing. But I feek TB is a different Rank. Its more Lifesaglicth vs. Undeadk9. Once we get some Kernels in the Mix then there can be better grounds for Rivals

Just a note, you can use any camera over the sensation htc fw / libraries / kernel. It doesn't take much effort, let it be AOSP or HTC Camera. Its just an App that uses Android camera service. But making the libs and fw working is the hard nut. U need your own compiled libcamera.so. it took ages for someone to do it for desire hd and alike. Noone yet compiled it for our devices that publicly.
Undead and me are using the sensation leaks libs. Not compiled ones. Btw I had to binary hack those libs to make them work, and did some kernel config to make it come alive, and those libs and kernel are in pyroice and undeads liquidice .
So for aosp this is mostly useless, to get source compiled we should check how the dhd and other msm7 devices do it or check if cm released something for msm8

Just my spare change.
I just read a little bit ago that the motorola cliq 2 just got Gingerbread after a year and four months of no updates at all. Do you think this means we have a chance for GB or just a tease that one old phone gets special support and not the others? And if we got true ginger would it help with the ROM/Mod nation or would it just be putting sparkles on the corpse of our phone?
Probably not. That news inst super recent, and motorola supports their phones a little bit better then samsung. If we get gingerbread it will be through the community more than likely.

Okay, off of the argument is there any chance of a custom made Ginger or is it hypothetical or? I've seen a few people tweaking kernels and such in their threads but Is there a real answer or is it just maybe?

Gingerbread on Sidekick is currently only hypothetical. My take is that it might still be possible, but very difficult.
Sduvick managed to boot an AOSP 2.2 kernel up to a certain point, but IIRC, it was still far from usable. No graphics. His work is available in github.
Winxixi got CM7 booting and into the GUI, but with incomplete driver support. I think he got frustrated and left. His work is also available in github.
I don't know if winxixi would consider continuing development, or if he has moved on to a different device. If he would continue development, and the rest of us helped with troubleshooting, research, etc., perhaps we can get a fullly operational Gingerbread.
It's really just a big project, very difficult for an individual to tackle to completion. Dividing the labor might improve the outlook.

Yes, it's being ported using the machete toolchain.
What's the Machete Toolchain? And is CM going to help us get a little farther up the Droid food chain? I mean I don't expect Jelly Bean on my phone but Ginger, or a ginger mock up would be cool, I would like some kind of exploit for the ICS exclusive apps and such to make it a bit smooth (I know It's a basically unattainable dream don't worry
It's a bit of a joke. Machete like this: http://images.google.com/search?q=machete+blade&btnG=Search&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1
I.e. he's hacking off pieces Touchwiz as though with a knife.
I think CM6 will if not help, atleast give hope towards CM7 coming to this device.

I think CM6 will if not help, atleast give hope towards CM7 coming to this device.

Honestly I'd be thrilled if we gained a vanilla, built-from-source CM6 ROM, especially if the sources/patches were made fully available.

It's a bit of a joke. Machete like this: http://images.google.com/search?q=machete+blade&btnG=Search&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1
I.e. he's hacking off pieces Touchwiz as though with a knife.

Its a little more involved then that. Lots of AOSP/CM6 patches to replace the Touchwiz components. Piece by piece im riding the stock rom of Touchwiz. I had to compile and mingle code to get AOSP messaging working correctly.

This device is super unique when it comes to the LED lighting. NO other device has this kind of LED setup. So I have no device that is all AOSP to compile it from.
