Time to move on... - Captivate General

I just wanted to take a minute and thank the devs for the great ROMs that made the captivate great. It was time for me to upgrade so I chose the HTC Inspire. I will be hanging on to the Captivate to make sure I like the Inspire. If I like it I will be selling the Captivate.
But anyway, Thank you to all the devs in the Captivate forums that have answered all my noobie questions and for the great roms.
I am going to send all the devs one last donation to show my appreciation.

What is up with CM7 deving?

Please, we need to start CM7. It is not hard at all for this phone, even the vibrant and captivate, which came on eclair have it. And the Galaxy s 2 even has it now. Also the year old Galaxy S 19000 has it. We need to do so.
Hasn't this been discussed several times in the past two weeks? I am pretty sure it has been! It is in the works.
If it is so easy to do then why havent i seen your cm7 rom posted here yet?
and next time dont post **** like this there are like 10 of these damn threads on here.
the devs here are hard at work giving people great roms....so all these *****ing and moaning threads need to stop....if it was so f***n easy people then everyone on here would be posting roms

Airfluip, I hope you're trolling.
Ohhh boy are you gonna get flamed for this.
It's not as easy as you think. Vibrant and the SGS4G are very different in many aspects.
Plus you have to consider the dev ratio from here and the Vibrant Forums. There's only like 3 devs on the SGS4G and only one working on CM7. So it wouldn't be fair to compare it to the Vibrant.
Air its really hard cause its just krylon deving it. 1 person! Other phones have like more than a couple. So one person had to make a whole new kernel new mods modems and tweaks. Just really hard. Plus you need to make sure its encoded for cwm flashablw

I know you make some good posts here, but you seriously sound like someone that thinks they're entitled to these things.
There's some things to consider about getting CM7. One thing is that krylon360 is building this from scratch. All the developers on this forum have mentioned that the SGS4G is very much different from the Vibrant. Another is the popularity of this device. The I9000 and Vibrant have CM7, because they're older and more people have them. Not much people wanted to make the jump to the SGS4G. Although the SGSII is newer, it had so much more popularity than the SGS4G because of its power.
So, all in all, not as easy as you think.
OK, I didn't mean to offend anyone.
A. Somebody rudely accused me and stated that why I didn't make it myself if it is so easy. Answer, because i don't have time as I am a Freshman in High School
B. I didn't even know that krylon was working on one, and I would happily help him when I have free time.
You have to understand that everyone is feeling anxious to use CM7. It has been a while since GB was launched and our phone has been here since Feb.

Yes everyone wants it but not everyone keeps asking where it is and when will it be done. Keep in mind that the sgs4g has about 3 dedicated devs. Dsexton who has his own line of roms Raver who has his own line of roms and I think does not even own the phone and krylon who works in a lot if different projects is building cm7 from scratch and just got the phone. It will come just have patience.

nope i pay my mom from time to time to test and give u all pics but i dont own the device.. i actually own 0 devices atm lol some days i do get to use the phone if they need to get in cotact with me so .....
come on, guy.. You already knew it was being worked on. You posted almost the exact same question less than 2 weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206406&highlight=CM7
There is no need to make an entirely new thread asking the same question, especially when there are threads about the actual development of CM7 that you could easily be following. You should probably subscribe the the 2-3 CM7 threads on this forum, to keep yourself up to date.

Your sig says CM7 is one of your projects and now you're saying "we need to start." So what does your signature about CM7 actually mean?
It means gtfo and leave me alone i wanna do a high quality rom but you little bastards keep anoying me. (DOT)
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Means, that I got CM7 frameworks and apps to boot up, but it was useless. LOL, so I gave up and I forgot to take it off of my signature.
What happened to the rules, that no one will verbally abuse people.
You guys need to think before you post. Just because you are a dev, doesn't mean you can yell at others. I am also DEVing for the phone, and you guys don't respect anyone here.

You should have used the search feature. To search for a thread you created for CM7. Not a person was being verbally abusive, they were simply stating that there are several threads created on the subject, and one of which was created by you. Put simply, dev or not, if a thread is created on a subject that already exists multiple times, I will point it out. That doesn't mean I don't respect the work you devs do for us.

This is pretty abusive considering that it is very easy to tell who it was directed to.
Point taken, and I do apologize! It is wrong to assume that none of us respect anyone, when there are clearly a majority of us DO respect and appreciate the time and effort you guys put into the phone.
IMO, this thread should just be closed to prevent further flaming.
*Walks into thread and starts knocking stuff over and breaking everything in sight while rambling something about using the search feature and other threads like this exist*

Whats happening to the roms for infuse?

There are no more devs interested on the infuse or y arent we getting anymore roms?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App
Because of things like this....
This is not a development thread please post non-development threads in general
Thank you
I believe the reason we aren't getting more is because you aren't making them.
So, stop complaining and get to work.

Whoa don't gotta be so harsh to the guy. If I remember that's the same reason gtgs post got locked. So he made a mistake ,big deal.
Infuse running infused v2.0.2.
To the OP - It was a legitimate question. To me, it's about development, so should be asked here, but the moderators say questions should be asked in the Q and A section.
When asked a 3 months ago, it was said the lack of ROMs was waiting for Rogers to get GB. That came and went without updates. Now the same is being said for AT&T GB, and we all know the timeline ATT runs on... the government minus 50%.
Either way, there aren't many ROMs for the infuse, so it's kinda just a wait n see thing. I'm sure the couple that have been around will stay around, but ATT's next killer phone is coming out this month or next, so Infuse is going to end up in the graveyard of cell phones past from a development perspective, IMO.
I don't think galaxy will bury the infuse. I think more people down the line will get the infuse cuzz prices will.be cheaper.

I disagree. It's like saying when the iPad 2 came out it made the iPad 1 more popular. Sure, there are some incremental sales because it's discounted, but 95% of the iPads sold within 6 months of launch have been iPad 2.
Just the nature of the beast, that's why when ATT releases proprietary releases it kills the users development ROM options :-(
The reason is because some of the more influential developers have begun looking down on "hey look I can deodex too" ROMs. I personally believe that's the problem. There should be more "hey look I can deodex too" ROMs. Without those, there is no development.
Hey, "hey look I can deodex too" propigators... read this. Pay attention here.
There needs to be more encouragement for those who want to make their own ROMs. It's a pride thing. If someone believes they did a good job, then they will continue to work and do a better job.
I whole heartedly believe that additional ROMs are required. When I get some time I will be making one. I'd like to wait until we get an official or leaked 2.3 source because I'm not a cutting edge type of guy. I'd rather work with a solid base and improve upon it.

3 Months ago this phone was but a twinkle it Rogers eye. Stop acting like a fool. As soon as the dev's (gtg) got his hands on the Rogers dump, Infused 2.0 popped up. Others are still working on their GB roms, or they are waiting for AT&T to release it. The CWM build is updated almost daily.
Seriously you have 1300 posts and if this one is any indication, none of them are worth anything.
Guys, calm down on the flaming. That being said, I don't understand the question (which btw, should be in the Q&A section). This phone is still relatively young, and we have bionix, infused, refuse, and now we even have ports for cm7 and miui. The development is about to kick off even more, and I can feel it already. Also, I don't think people who are new to development are afraid to post ROMs. I would love to post ROMs, but I need guidance on how to make them. For me, it's lack of the proper tools and guidance, not shame stopping me from development.

youre always welcome to make your own roms.
Im with btp i would love to make roms i love doing this stuff i make themes on a daily/weekly bases but i dont.lnow where to start
sent from my Infused goodness
most important thing is we need stable roms.
used to have htc inspire and there were plenty of rom and more or less stable.
i feel infuse is not popular right now and Samsung/ATT are also to be blamed for delaying Gingerbread.
but i am counting on the devs who are working on infuse one way or the another.
This is exactly what I DON'T want to see in the development forums. This is a discussion for General, but it started out as a question, so Q&A.
BUT! It's in development. The discussion IS constructive (as long as you people keep playing nice ), so create a thread like this for discussing this in General and you can continue.
Closed.

Thank You Captivate users and DEVs

I received my Captivate as an insurance replacement for my Xperia X10. When I began looking at custom roms and themes I was worried that I would see much of the same petty bickering and flaming that I regularly saw in the X10 thread.
Not so. As a whole, the community in the Cappy threads is MUCH more welcoming and helpful. In one thread yesterday I think there was one user with an issue and five or six others trying to help.
The DEVS actually seem to help each other and share knowledge and files. Over at X10 you would think that some of them had exclusive rights to this open source software.
Thank you again.
Carl
Yeah most people here are pretty great. Have a nice stay here in the Captivate forums.

Development dead.......don't think so

Guys this thread is started by me just with two proposes
Thanks to all the devs for their hard work and patience (a lot) by my part because devs are normal people that they quit time of their free time just to develop for our phone
And say to the people that say thanks to dev and if you can donate because people feel happy and good when other people say thanks for their good works now devs don't like thanks msg they like better thanks button
I really can't say how much that I am happy that development is back after weeks and maybe months but anyway I didn't make this thread just to make questions for roms or other stuff is just for unleash the thanks for the devs hard work (BTW devs works is in development section because a newbie ask where are the devs works)
Yep there's a button for that. But thanks for pointing it out.
And here we go again...

Goodbye Infuse Forum!

Long story short, I jumped the Infuse ship and hitched a late ride on the GS2. I wanted to thank everyone here on the Infuse forum, especially Qkster, Scotthartbti, Dman (who is no longer on the Infuse), Mg2195, and Entropy. I arrived here about a year ago knowing only i-Devices and have learned so much since thanks to the helpful community here. The Infuse community on XDA is pretty amazing, actually. When I look over at other forums here, very few have the same level of dedication to development. I hope I end up on the same device as some of our developers again!
Enjoy your new Device and Happy Flashing. Thank You.
