Cyanogenmod on Mesmerize?

Hey guys, I'm new to this whole android development, and of course I got a phone that has barely anything made for it... I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to get the clockworkmod recovery to work, like if someone can post a file that already has all that done...? And I'm wondering about cyanogenmod as well; it doesn't yet work for the Mesmerize, or any galaxy s yet, right? There were no sable versions on the CN website...
Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

As far as I know there isn't an easier way, I'll be more than happy to walk you through it if you would like. Shoot me a message with msn, aim, yahoo, or g-talk and I'll jump online.

As soon as the sales die down or someone around here lets go of one, I'm planning on getting another Mesmerize to use as a tester. This will also give me one to send to Koush to get us on the list of devices officially supported by CWM. As far as Cyanogen, that will/should come when 2.2 comes out for us, which is slated for Q1 2011. It shouldn't take much to get things working after that, hopefully.

Awesome, I can't wait! Thanks for the help guys. Ill figure out how to use gtalk now : )

And, just so I'm ready for it, when the Cyanogen comes out after froyo, I'll have to wait for the OTA update and then can do the cyanogen?
Also, will the OTA update come if I'm running the super clean ROM w/ voodoo, or a fascinated Mesmerize?
And which one of those paths would you suggest: fascinated or super cleaned?
Haha I have so many questions :s

No matter what direction you go, it's preference at this point, you will want to flash back to stock before you try to update to froyo no matter if it's OTA or a computer based upload. I can't say that it would definitely cause problems, but there is a good chance that the update wouldn't recognize that your phone was eligible for it.

Well it works on the Samsung Fascinate, which is the exact same phone as the Mesmerize;
So why wouldn't it work? the only difference is the carrier.

First off, that's not even correct.
Secondly, don't bring back ancient threads unless you're providing something of use to it. Especially don't bring back ancient threads just to turn around and start a new thread about it.

Closing dead thread which has already been answered elsewhere.

Getting my G2x on tues

So not sure how many of you may know me, but I come from the epic 4g development forums.
Can't wait to develop on a new and more powerful phone.
Looking forward to working with new devs and helping bringing some nice things to this phone

no no no DONT buy this phone!! j/k, you will love it, once you overlook its SW faults, which you as a developer should be fine with, since im guessing you see it as a challenge instead of a reason to ***** lol.

Welcome to the dark side! Hope you enjoy your stay.
LOL =D

Haha. I look forward to the challenge. Ill be focusing on Cm7 quite a bit, and start helping to get some of these bugs patched up.

amen! the more the merrier. it's been a little slow for the past week or so. i think the buggy gb release is the reason. but the more roms the merrier. welcome aboard.

Can't wait to have a stable build of CM7 on this phone. I loved it on my Nexus One and I've been missing it. But I think the hardware in this phone creates a lot of potential and should be more than useful my foreseeable mobile phone future lol.

Yeah the hardware seems to be amazing and definately looking forward to getting a fully stable cm7.
What are the main bugs in current builds?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

The battery driver pretty much needs a rewrite. A2DP is non-functional.

random reboots are one of them. on certain roms,ie. eaglesblood, i don't think i had more than 1 or 2 reboots in using it for a week or two. the same rom themed gave me a few reboots a week. i've seen others having same issue on other roms.

The a2dp is likely related to the driver, and should be able to be figured out relatively easily.
The random reboots seems a bit awkward though. Would be nice if we could get some logcats.

Congrats! Got mine on 4/20 and am very satisfied with my purchase.

Thanks everyone I'm looking forward to the phone quite a bit.

Currently with CM7, the biggest issue is getting APN's to stick after reboots or coming off wifi. It has gotten much better but it is a weird bug. In Mobile Networks, when you search for networks, it won't connect to any of them. The only option that works is Automatic.
The fix is to select a specific network, let it error out, then do automatic. Once it reconnects to the network... the data connections will pop up.
A2DP I guess is one, but I don't use it. And supposedly the battery drivers is wonky but it was wonky in Stock Froyo.
Overall CM7 has been my daily driver for a while now. I don't have any issues with reboots or anything. You just can't go by the battery% because some nights it'll say 39% then it will be dead in the water next time I look at it. I don't have random reboots. I even tested it by not feeding my flashcrack addiction and made sure to put it on a charge "when I thought it needed it" and I've been up for 5 days.
The hardware of the phone is pretty solid. No major issues other then weak software/drivers. The official Gingerbread is closing in which hopefully brings a new kernel and baseland update. Tmobile has stopped selling the current G2x because I think it is flushing out it's current stock of 2.2 in anticipation for the 2.3.3 varieties.
I think if the phone spent a little more time in the oven and just released with Gingerbread, these forums would be a much happier place. Personally I'm glad it released when it did so we could start crackin' at it and have something to play with.

Hmm I see a few different issues there. But I have a feeling I can get the APN bit patched up when I get the phone. I already have a few ideas on where to go with that. It sounds like a bit of a RIL problem to me, so I should be able to get that knocked out relatively easily.
Battery % will likely be a problem until the GB update is released, as it's likely a kernel/driver related issue.
And I agree. I don't care if a phone has a few problems upon release. Noone can be perfect, and internal testing is NOT a perfect indication of regular real world use. People need to understand that no matter how much testing gets done, it is still going to have an issue here and there.

Welcome. A couple of my buddies have an Epic, so I'm somewhat familiar w/ your quality work. And I dig cm7, so it will be great to have someone with your talent level workin' on that...

I don't know about anyone else, but I am excited! Welcome!

Battery driver issues
I think the battery driver issue itself is being considered as random reboot issue. Coz people tend to assume looking at the % that they have sufficient battery but in the background, it ain't. That might be one reason. But from what i observed in mine, it dies completely rather than reboot(but people tend to use this word more often than when actually it is a restart of the phone by itself). But u know what, to get to know how much percent is actually left in ur phone..... just plug it in the charger and remove it, the percentage refreshes.... . I Wish it refreshes with just the cable being plugged in rather than putting it in the socket .
Btwn.. Good to see a dev interested to address issues! Thanks!

Oh happy day. Im, sure you will help bring out the full potential of this glorious device combined with other devs like morific, krylon, faux and team douche. The welcome! When will you be getting the device?

tried flashing samsung galaxy s 4g 2.3.4 leaked rom...

so i got bored and tried flashing a samsung galaxy s 4g leaked 2.3.4 rom... i did it thru odin everything went fine after it got done flashing, sound booted up but screen did not turn on for me... i tried taking the battery out and turning it back on... nothing but the sound coming on, then i tried going into download mode it wouldnt let me. so i guess i bricked it. but anyways went to tmobile got a new sidekick. so my question is if im able to flash thru odin successfully and the boot sound comes on, is it possible to flash a samsung galaxy s 4g rom if a dev put some work into it?

It shoulb be possible but first the would have to still get a. Ginger kernel that works with our hardware
Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App

Odin flashing is nothing but a special way of writing data to the flash memory on the phone. It in no way means the software being flash works on the platform it was copied to.

just because the sound driver works, doesn't mean that anything that actually matters would work.

You could use JIG to force it into download

2.6.35 kernel source for Galaxy S Series phones was released by Samsung. So someone good enough to do it should be able to now. Its just finding a developer good enough to do it.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

Although it's technically possible, our phone has entirely different modules and drivers from every other Galaxy S phone. So although yes, there is technically a source for the Galaxy S, there's no source for our specific phone.

Shouldnt matter. The Dream and Sapphire didnt. They were never meant to have GB. Same with some other phones. It needs build for our phones using those sources.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

The dream and sapphire have a team of the best devs that exist on Android, including Cyan himself. Half of those devs work for HTC or Samsung. Building the general Galaxy s source for our phone wouldn't even boot correctly, as it wouldn't have any drivers to make any of the hardware work.

They do have the best developers. Cyanogen is not one of them anymore. And hasn't been in quite a while. None of them work for any companys like that except for Cyanogen. I didn't say to just build the source. I said to use the source to tweak and build for the sidekick. It can be done. I wish I could do it.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

There's a reason that there's no CM7 on the Dream/Sapphire, and that's because CM quit developing for it. there's plenty of them that work for companies. the hardware changes for the sidekick require much more than just minimal tweaks, that would require essentially rewriting drivers to be a part of a new kernel.

There is CM 7.1 for the Dream/Sapphire because me and a few others have built it. Cyanogen only quit developing for it officially. And i didnt say minimal tweaks. I said tweak. I understand its a lot of work thats why i said we need some developers here good enough and willing to do it.

Then go find some. If you're not going to appreciate the devs who are here, who try their best to work on this phone, then do it yourself. If you can't do it, then find other devs, or be grateful for the time we put into our work on this phone, rather than constantly telling us that we are inadequate.

Never once did i say you guys were inadequate. I appreciate your guys work. I was just saying we need a developer that knows how to bring us CM. No reason to get mean. I never said the roms here were bad. We need these roms. A variety is good. Not everyone wants CM. But some do. How did you take anything i said as being directed to you? And if you want to be truthful. You guys are constantly taking shots at revolutions work. So calm down just a bit. We all appreciate the work you do. And if i could bring CM to the Sidekick, trust me, i would. And also trust that i have been trying to find other devs to bring CM to the Sidekick.

I work with Revolution on things that he needs help with, I haven't been taking shots at him. Some do, but I don't. My apologies if it was misplaced, I guess I had lumped you in with all the kids who were so used to having CM that they expected it to be done within a month of the phone release, and got super upset when it wasn't done, my bad.
If nothing else, this has made me want to try porting the kernel again, I'm gonna give it another shot, to see if I can come up with another way to do it. We'll see what happens, once again, my bad, I'm sorry.

[Q] CYANOGENMOD for Droid Charge coming soon....?

Just wondering if anyone heard about how soon the release of the cyanogenmod for droid charge is coming for the droid. I just read online that it is currently being worked on and is in the alpha stages. Anyone have a clue?

I've given up hope on it. I really like Humblecomb enough that it doesn't matter.

Fixed sorry I knew that was wrong lol!

it is being worked on, however the progress is considerably slow... it has gotten to the point of functionality just without radio which is by far the hardest part as the RIL pretty much has to be built/ported from scratch or hacked up a lot to work, 3G/CDMA shouldn't be a problem as much as the LTE
with that said, jt1134 (our cm7 guru!! lol) hasn't been active much lately, most likely because he's looking for a new job or is busy or could be taking time off... just be assured its being worked on though the going is slow

JT just posted over at Rootz that since he is out of work, he can't afford to get a SIM for his development Charge, so there will be no progress until such a time that he can get work and money to continue development.

I seen over at Rootz they were tossing around the idea of taking donations to get JT a month or so of service.

I am running A6 as we speak which I got from these forums.
Camera doesn't work (for video or pictures)
SU doesn't work (haven't toyed with workaround yet)
3g (I am trying work arounds now, doesn't work by default)
Still a really impressive interface to play around with, and I think I can live with the cons for a little while until a more stable rom gets hosted. I will say I am in love with this os though.
The interface alone is so modern and fresh feeling I can't entirely explain it.

The 3g works without any manipulations, almost everything works as a matter of fact. Calendar sync did need some .apk switched in to get calendar working in beta2 but at least for me in beta3 I didn't have to redo anything. All my apps from tibu work and download correctly. It just seems to be very smooth.
PS. I also upgraded to the ATT SGS2 and love it but I also have my cappy as backup and love messing with all the roms for it still. Basically testing it all out. Plus I am pleasantly surprised that the cappy got ICS before the SGS2.
