Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 to G1 and MyTouch 3G

(taken from engadget)
Droid, Milestone, Eris, Moment, Spica, even the Hero, all have had their Eclair, one way or another. G1 and myTouch 3G? Not so much. But don't worry, Android early adopters, because Cyanogen's got your back. Most all the bells, whistles and hardware-accelerated graphics of Android 2.1 are coming to the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire in CyanogenMod 5.0.7, and you can see a video of a T-Mobile G1 running the new build after the break. Twitter buzz indicates the ROM will be out any minute now; the dev himself tweeted that it's ready to go and just needs G1-friendly bite size packaging.
There is video also.

Update: Don't stay up all night waiting -- Cyanogen says he's got "two more bugs to kill" and is "hoping for a test1 public beta tomorrow night."

Sweet this is really gonna annoy my bro xD he's been banging on about his nexus and how much it cost and how great 2.1 is

what about 32A?

this looks great!!!!...cannot wait for this to come out. I have tried some other various ports of the 2.1 they all seemed very choopy and needed alot more work... I am a very busy guy that needs stuff to work when I tap the screen to make it work, Cant wait around for things to happen....Cyanogen's build looks very smooth and responds very well....when will we know when it gets released?

For the latest news, including the release (which should be tonight according to cyanogen) you can keep an eye on twitter(DOT)com/cyanogen

I haven't really looked forward to the release of a ROM in a while. If what Cyanogen is saying in his Twitter is all correct (everything working with 2.1), then this one is the one.

I totally agree with you on this one.....I was having a hard time putting the latest super D rom back onto my G1 after flashing one of the other 2.1 ports...so I am now currently running [ROM]TheOfficial DONUT TMO, ADP & AOSP (dream/magic)(EBI0/EBI1) [3/17/2010] -- v2.6.3 (which is also found here btw) with the Buuf theme...it is an alright ROM but this 2.1 port that Mr. Cyanogen released with help with other various "modders"....it looks great...flashin it as I am typing (YAY)
THANX TO ALL MODDERS INVOLVED WITH THIS BUILD

just a quick thought....i just finished flashing this rom to my G1 and I was thinking that it would be cool to add the nexus "X" boot screen that would cross over into the cyanogen symbol....would try to make it myself but I do not have the slightest clue on how to do that!!

Just to let everyone know the rom is up and running great. I got it on my mt3g 32B. Only thing is that the LED notification light is purple. Could anyone please tell me how to change it. thanks.

Does this work with the mytouch 1.2 with 3.5 jack? I am new to this and hoping to get some help. I just want to make sure I got this right.
1. Backup my phone. What do I use to do this?
2. Root my phone.
3. Flash phone with new rom.
If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to flash a phone I would appreciate it. Thanks

(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.

Will this phone be as Supported as other Galaxy S Phones?

As the title states "Will this phone be as Supported as other Galaxy S Phones?" I have 5 days to make up my mind about keeping it or getting back my Vibrant. I have no compaints about this phone. It rocks as is. I just want to know if this phone will have as many Devs working on it as there are the Vibrant or does no one really care for Developing. There is still no ROMs or even a working CWR yet. Is this phone going to just get passed over? What would you do? Stay with this Phone or go back to the Vibrant? Thanks for your input

Team Whiskey has already said they are going to develop for it. They are just waiting for a working CWR then it is off to the races!

Can you tell me where that's posted please? This way I can see what they are saying. My gut is telling me to go back to my Vibrant because there are so many Great Dev's working on that phone and I feel they all won't be working on this one.
Also, I am surprised that only one person replyed to this topic. Thanks in advanced

I doubt it will be as heavily supported as the Vibrant because I doubt that there will be even half as many adopters. However I asked Team Whiskey directly on their Facebook page if they were going to support it and they said they already were developing for it and are just waiting for a working CWR to roll the ROMs out. I believe their frost ROM for the Vibrant is actually a port of the GS4G so they have already had some success with ROM. I also PM'd the developer of the Trigger ROM for the Vibrant and he said he is all set to port his ROM over, he is just waiting to get his hands on GS4G to do some testing. So I am sure there will be ROMs but they probably won't come as fast and furious as they did for the Vibrant. The good news is the 2 phones are so similar that I imagine it will be easy for developers to port existing Vibrant ROMs and modifications over to the GS4G. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info. Im going back to t-mobile in the morning and getting my Vibrant back. The only thing I am giving up realy is the 4g cause I already have a ffc for the Vibrant. I am a die hard Bionix fan and it is killing me not knowing if they will even release it for this phone. I know Frost will, but its not the same. Its been two weeks and no word as to when CWR will hit. No one is even posting mods. I just think this phone is going to be past over. Sad cause this phone is great! but if I know my luck, as soon as I leave t-mobile with my Vibrant and get home, there will be all kind of roms and suport.

Ice Cream Sandwich and other News

Today I have an anouncement.
I will be doing all MIUI development for the X, D2 and D2G. Also, I will be making an update for my barebones CM rom once a month from here on out. Lastly, I will be working on an Ice Cream Sandwich rom from the SDK later this week to have something ready for when source drops. As for my Milestone 2 rom, I am probably going to release what I have and see if someone else can figure out how to get data working with it. I do not have a job where I can constantly be SBF'ing my phone anymore and that rom was the fastest way to break the phone. I still am planning on working on a sense port but that will be far down the road after ICS is out.
Secondly, Since I am working on so many devices right now, expect delays to be there but things still coming out at least. I am taking donations to get my thinkpad working again (since it got killed) that way I can have 2 dev machines. Any phones I can get will help too. Whether it be an X, D2G or D2. Simply put, I don't have enough hardware right now to crank them out very fast and I am asking for donations to expedite releases. I am posting this in the X forum since I will be developing for that device now.
I appreciate anything you guys have given to me before (you guys kept me afloat during my unemployment). I look forward to be doing more releases, but if you guys have anything left to give... It will make this much faster for me. Developing with my phone I use has just become almost out of the question.
Edit: ICS will be my primary rom in development until we get it running. Once DXC does his last release I will be doing just maitenence releases for MIUI.

I am a complete newb, so I might be way off. So with what your developing could I put ICS on a Skyrocket? And if I could would it be a stock version or a custom one?

I'm semi new to Android Development .etc and I have somewhat of a stupid question as I dont understand what MIUI is.
Also. This means there will be a CM rom of Ice Cream Sandwitch for the D2G?

i got xtra d2g but it is locked
i sent it back to d seller to unlock it n she kept saying she dod have d right unlock code and she has no idea y it does not work.
mayb i can get it send to u ACE, helped me to unlock it n u gotta keep it for development purpose.
then once u done wit it, send it back to me
i believe the seller live in lima ohio

Keep up the good work, Ace!
Dont forget about GSM users of the D2G.
Thank you!

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.
