port gingerbread to captivate? - Captivate General

Since the Nexus S is basically a stock galaxy s, will it be easier to port gingerbread to our captivate, and stock android without touchwiz and all that other stuff is so much faster and better.

Search for gingerbread port and u will see this topic is already being discussed.

stock android ROM availability

Would it be silly to hang onto the Droid 2 in hopes that someone will release a stock 2.2 ROM for it, or is this a common thing? I'm very new to Android. Have stable stock 2.2 ROMs become available for other phones? Thanks.
A lot of phones have vanilla roms. FlyX is being ported to the droid 2 and will be vanilla

This can't come soon enough. Motorola and Verizon have really bastardized Android on these phones.
Seriously. I was using my friend's Captivate and was shocked at the performance difference. Was considering a switch to the Fascinate, but I think I'll hold off. Love the keyboard, but there is so much blur nonsense running in the background... ridiculous.
I am gonna be making a vanilla/stock rom. I have a rom already for the D2 over on DF but I can't post here yet.
its an ok rom, but id prefer to de-bloat my own phone until a full rom is released

I've been using an Epic 4G the past week and this touchwiz is much more annoying than the motoblur. I'm assuming the Fascinate would have twiz too.

HTC Sense Port for SNS? (Nexus S)

Do you think that Sense will ever be able to be ported to the Nexus S when it releases its Gingerbread update?
I know that the Galaxy S never managed to see Sense on it, but it would be sure nice to have that option I also know this would be a difficult port as it would involve an inter manufacturer jump. I think it was easier to put sense on the n1 due to it being an HTC phone I dont think i will feel the same need for TouchWiz on the Nexus S somehow

No idea. Just out of curiosity, WHY???

I for one would love to see SENSE on the NS ans SGS phones.
Sense is closed-source, meaning it would be illegal to port it. And because we're on the Internet, it will be done anyway.

Because something is closed source doesn't make it illegal to port. The problem is that Sense is a copyright work of HTC and therefore it's up to HTC whether or not third-parties are allowed to redistribute it, at present no.
However that still doesn't mean porting Sense is illegal. If you own a HTC Desire HD, dump the firmware, modify it to run on another device you own then that's perfectly legal. However, I'm not sure about the actual legalities of duplicating the firmware. You may be forced to remove the firmware from your HTC device so that you haven't created two copies. It really depends on what HTC's license says, assuming they even thought to include one.
Can anybody make a sense rom?
To work on nexus S....Pls just for kicks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm sure one will be released at some point. Sense has an aesthetically pleasing UI that a lot of android users find attractive. Seeing as the Nexus S was just released, however, just have to wait and be patient. I think that the openness of this device, coupled with it's "pure google" experience, will attract a lot of devs and a lot of customization options.

I think the N1 got the Sense ROMs only because it was easy to port it from the nearly identical HTC Desire device.
I'm not sure it will be that easy to do on the Samsung HW.
Does the SGS have such ROM? If so, then surly we'll be seeing one for NS soon.
It doesn't make Sense

Don't want a mytouch 4g. I like the nexus screen better...

I have both the mt4g and the nexus s and I prefer the mt4g especially now since they're working on cm6 for it. My nexus s only frustrates me...no video chat app? Ugh and gingerbread is OVERRATED

Tango was updated today to support the Nexus S
And I only looked at this thread thinking it was a joke. You mean someone would seriously want to take a great phone and crap it up with Sense???? I don't understand that at all!
I though people stopped making sense ROMs because HTC didnt quite like that copyright infringment.
thats why the CM rom on the Evo doesnt have it

NinjaMorph.apk

Do somebody have any idea why NinjaMorph dosen't work on my SGS on cm7?
Tnx in advance
I believe technically CM7 is not Samsung Galaxy S, rather Nexus S... or that could just be for MIUI, in any cases if SGS tools does not work on your phone than its probably because of the app is compatible with Cappy but not Nexus S

Currently have Vibrant. How is your dev coming on GS4G?

hey all. I currently have a Vibrant, but I may have the option to move to a galaxy S 4g. We have great development on the Vibrant. I know for a while the development on GS4G was really slow, but how is it now? has it picked up? do you guys have official GB, or at least leaks of official GB? how are you custom froyo roms?
Thanks guys,
just would really like to know this before I make the move
You could also check out our development forum. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of development for the SGS4G, and there are GB leaks. I am not sure if we actually have official GB though.

Kg6 was an official leak

Oh development has really picked up. Flash a rom one day and a brand new one comes out the next. As for gingerbread, we don't have an official yet but the leaks are perfectly fine especially when turned into a rom. Much better than the froyo roms.

Crap! Double post. Sorry
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I gotta agree with everyone else here. One thing to keep in mind is that flashing with the SGS4G is different than flashing with the Vibrant.
Still slow, most roms are leaks. That said, gb touch wiz isn't that horrible, haha.
When cm7 starts rolling I suspect development will pick up rapidly. Crossing my fingers for miui.

Anyone planning custom ICS ROMs

I see a lot of good ported ROMs for Galaxy S i9000 using the AOSP 4.0.3. Even tried them and they are very good and very few bugs.
Anyone planning to start porting some of this stuff for Infuse users?
I am currently using THIS one on my SGS but will soon be getting an unlocked Infuse and wonder if this stuff can be ported for Infuse users.
No

Isnt ajerman working on an ics rom though?
Would have been good to have though. Couple of these AOKP ROMs are really good. Even better IMHO than where CM9 has reached.

So what's the problem bringing ICS to the Infuse? I have a Captivate, which I didn't think was really much different from the Infuse, and I have several ICS choices currently. My wife has the Infuse and she's getting jealous that I can have ICS and she can't!
The Captivate is a much more popular device. Even though it is much older is has a larger development community. Even Samsung bothered to keep that device up to date for a while. I know somebody who got the Captivate on 2.1. Since then she got OTA updates for 2.2 and then for 2.3. Unfortunately for us Infuse owners, we are like the red-headed step brother to the SG2 so we get no love
