Anyway we will see this on the Captivate? Also, do we have a Captivate developer? Or is everyone on the Vibrant and we are just waiting for someone to port it to captivate?

More than likely if he releases his method for using a vanilla android someone will be able to port it to the captivate. Looks good.

It seems only Koush has the Captivate amongst the well known developers, and he doesn't seem to be spending much time on the Captivate as he also seem to be doing Droid stuff. I (am not well-known - maybe someday ) have been trying to use a merged samsung+vanilla code base myself because I like some of the things from Touchwiz, but that isn't going well because of missing stuff from Samsung. Maybe I should just do vanilla builds too.

I second that
On a side note, in adam's Axura 2.4 ROM, the stock music player is replaced by MIUI music player, which is so much better, sleek look, automatic cover art and auto-scrolling lyric (also automatically downloaded)
I agree the miui rom is looking mighty fine. And the fact that it runs lighting fast with all the features I really hope that there will be a build for captivate.
I went to their site the other day - didn't see any work being done to port it... yet.
It looks retarded as hell - in a good way

This can only be a benefit! The dev's that have worked it so far have done an awesome job. I know that they have said they are going to stop working the beta since Miui is starting up on the Galaxy S.
I plan to send over five maybe ten dollars to help the cause! Who's with me?

[Q][Donation Fund] ROM development..lets get some interest, Infuse CM7,MiUi :)

Hey guys and gals, I'd like to get an idea for how much interest we have in buying a few infuse devices for some of the Cyananogen team and/or the Miui team.
I first want to understand how many people would be interested in this and thereafter i will reach out to some people to talk to Koush and company. You don't have to donate now just pledge a donation for a specific ROM.
The thought behind this is that if we can get either of these two teams or both of them a device the may not have considered once they spend time with such a beautiful device they will be more interested in development for ths phone sooner.
If we dont get enough interest in donations we'll just have to wait on a few devs to mosey on over here. Your choice!
here is an example where this worked well

Imho, if u want MIUI - get an iPhone, it's a direct copy pretty much.
Now CM7 is a different topic, would love that!
Yes great idea!

There's a video tour at CyanogenMod's website that you can scope out here.
More info about MIUI can be located here.
As a new Infuse owner I really hope we can get some development going asap! I would def be up to donating if thats what it takes to get development started!!!

I didn't know MIUI = iphone
no matter it' sense, touchwiz, or motoblur, I always replace it with launcherpro.
I just love the MIUI phone dialer and power menu that has all the shortcuts I needed.
Put me down for $20.00 on the MIUI
I will do $20.00 for cm7 also

im going down for $10 on cm7 or cm8 if ice-cream comes out. not that i'd even use it. the way i see it is that miui exists on the galaxy s using a cm kernel.the sgs miui will likely flash on this once we have a aosp kernel. miui could also be ported onto our base rom like it started for the fascinate but it is not as clean that way and means you will be behind the curve on os version. if we are gonna get a totaly custom non samsung rom it makes most sence to build it off the newest nexus sources so i think cm is the clear winner
$60 for CM7

I'm getting this phone tomorrow and would definitely donate a few dollars for Cyanogenmod.
Loved cm7 on the captivate and inspire. Put me down for $ 10 for cm 7.
Couldn't care less about miui though.

this is already done it is the same as the captivate and is cake! just need root. you can delete or freaze tethermanager and the phone lets you use ap mode. i have it all over the tether thread but it's like people read the title and decide to put in their $.02 and not read the replies before them.

Gingerbread?

can the version for captivate possibly be ported?

Not without the source code. Rumors have it that the canadian version of our infuse will have gb installed. There should be an official release for us but who knows how long...

there are sources for i9000 2.3.3 and for the infuse 2.2.1 but the two os's are very different in a few areas, it took months to port 2.3.x from the nexus s with nearely identical hardware to work on the i9000, now we have a diferent gps, different cell radio, different cameras, different screen, mhl and more ram, maybe more. that is alot of drivers to figure out. there is a posibility here but it would be a project that needs attention from an experienced kernel dev or dev team and time. the 2.3.x update will likely be released by the time a rom port is posible, plus a port would likely leave some features missing like mhl, and some features that may be unstable.

I know how u feel, its as if theres no such thing as development for the charge, specially GB. Its as if the charge doesnt exist. Development could be better.
However I do believe the reason why there isnt much dev for GB is because people arent happy with the leaks or just want to wait for the official release. But there is lagfix for GB my guide is in the dev section. How to simply ext4 gb.

Comparable to cyanogen, I love cyanogen but omfgb and omgb are awesome roms, to me omfgb is a little faster than cyan, both are pure aosp. You pretty much have to try both to see which one you like.

Another thing, 4g is new to these phones, especially 4g lte, I wouldnt say rom development has stopped, more like slowed because of this. They have to work with all the samsung and tw things, combined with 4g, you have to give them extra time. When we get aosp, trust me, development will boom

Most of us are just waiting for official GB & source. Just because there haven't been any releases lately doesn't mean that it's not being worked on by someone
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
Just need some more patience, I figure every device needs about 8 months in the wild before they get near pure ASOP Goodness, even without samsung's mess of code to work with. I remember when I first started my flashing addiction, back with the htc hero.
Htc was so evil with their source to, we had devs actually make their own ril's that surprisingly worked before we had a source that would actually compile.

[Q] I wish we had CM7..

I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys
Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.
Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.
Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.
Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.
Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.
So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?
I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people
Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

OK I'm curious, your always bashing the sgs4g, why? Did it rob you or something!? You seem to have a major issue with it and I really don't see why. Because honestly its a damn good phone. Not having the most dev support doesn't change that, mine was an excellent android device completely stock.

Technically, the kernel should work fine. Its the device tree that needs love.
Know what I'm talking about? Check out DRockstar's cm7 bml kernel thread for sources in the epic 4g forum. They have cm7 running on ext4.
I'm no android expert, just kick ass with the kernel... But slowly I'm picking up on stuff.
