What do we need to get a gingerbread rom

Im fairly new to this section of the forums most of my hangout is on the Gtablet side. But what is needed to get this phone up to gingerbread? What are we lacking?

ohhh please...
sent from sgs4g

Not getting the sarcasm here? I asked a simple question which is not anywhere in this development forum I searched. The Gtab came with 2.2 and has successfully been updated to 2.3 and they are now working on a honeycomb port missing on a few things atm. Whats holding the s4g back?

I believe people are going to get upset with you posting this here.
We are missing the neccesary files from Samsung.

Not understanding that we have the source from samsung but we are still missing what is required. Why would people seriously get mad?

That and questions belong in the general section. It helps keep the dev section clean.

From a development point... What is still needed to get this ball rolling? I think the question is appropriate for the development section as its not "who is working on gb" or "is CM coming".

Definetly should be in the general section, but the main thing were missing is a final version of CWM and the devs, the ones we have are great but there time is consumed doing other things. I assume its going to be a while before we get any good roms

Just to add I don't think anyone is working on froyo roms much less gb. Point of this story is if you want custom roms ditch this phone
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

There is no GB development, because there are almost no developers for this phone.
The two active developers don't even have a SGS 4g (well, krylon has a loaner)....

I thought the biggest reason would be that we have no gingerbread updated from Samsung that are compatible with our phone. In order to get gingerbread right now, we would have to port over one from another Samsung device and then make it compatible with ours. Which isn't easy at all from my understanding.
That being said, we do have a small community.

Understandable, but we dont need a source from samsung for gingerbread. Gtab devs made a GB rom without anything being compatible and are moving to honeycomb with out official support from nvidia or viewsong for either of these roms.
I guess Ill get back to working with the cyanogen I have now to start tweaking but CWM is working on my phone at least.

This is not to flame you, but any questions like this shouldn't be asked in development. It clutters the development forum. It needs to be posted in the "General" section.
This question has been asked there several times as well.
#1 Getting GB to work on any samsung phone currently is a monster of a task. Just read up on the nightlies that CyanogenMod is putting out now for the Captivate. Android 2.3.4 via CM 7 running on Captivate.
#2 The SGS4G is more similar to the Epic 4G than the Vibrant. That being said read what was said from ciwrl (CM Dev Team): "epic is slated for last…its full of nasty hacks"
Hope that answers your questions. Please post in General next time.

Are there even any ROMs out there for this phone? Is there even a CyanogenMod?

None at the moment. CWM is priority number one with the current Devs, although a few other mods coming out.

It hardly seems priority. Krylon put it on hold for Bionix and whatever project he's on now

For one, you have no idea what is going on.
For two, comments like that don't make any dev work faster. Devs have NO obligation to help the masses. Why piss off some one that is helping? Because your impatient? Relax bud. When its done its done. ;-)

[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!

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.

I will do $20.00 for cm7 also

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

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

Definitely count me in on a bounty

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.

Hey guys, this is my first android device, but I do have some experience with software development. Is there anyone who could post some guides, tutorials, links, or downloads on developing for this phone? I believe that we could have a lot more material if we have more competent developers, so please help out. I will update the OP to include provided links or downloads.

Welcome to Android and goodluck with your InFuSe!
I myself was always a Windows Mobile guy up until almost 3 years ago when i got my 1st Android device, an HTC Supersonic aka EVO 4G. Since then its been down hill, very similar to a bad bad Crack addiction, with ROM Flashing as my temporary fixxx.
I like my InFuSe(s), hopefully one day i'll love my InFuSe(s). My only complaint is that it is too new and there is too little going on with the device. Thank god my HTC Desire HD aka Inspire 4G keeps me on my feet and flash-happy, but instantly i miss that HUGE Super AMOLED Plus display and must go back to a bone-stock device.
I bought a 2nd InFuSe to have as a side by side testing device and / or to donate to the right MIUI dev to get us on the MIUI boat and later found out that we need to get CyanogenMod going before we have a chance at MIUI...
Again, good luck with your InFuSe and with Android. I have a lil sayin: "Don't worry, your not gonna break it unless you throw it, frustration is a bicht!"

You should totally think more about donating your extra infuse to a cyanogen mod dev so we can get that ball rolling. That would definitely get some more stuff going on with this phone.

which one do you recommand?

I can't speak for all of them as I haven't tried them all. But I can submit that there have been some ongoing crash issues with Gingerclone. I'm running Clean Fusion currently. Only things I've had an issue with is one background (that is just as likely an issue with the background), and no forming groups within your contact list, but otherwise is running great.
Touch is the next one I would try going by what little I've heard. Sorry I can't be of much help.
Really, you're best bet might be just to try them for yourself and see which one you like best, as they all look and run a little differently, though obviously much better than the stock ROM. Just make sure you get a full rooted backup before you use something, so you know you're not going to lose anything.
~ The guide Yogi and I put together has links to the main ROMs.. possibly not Lighting though.

I used. Lighting , ginger n touchmiui, I like touchmiui the best then lighting , btw ginger n touchmiui are the same rom just different colors blue vs green n theme differently

Don't listen to him. Everyone (almost) here are jerks. In my experience with the roms on here, I recommend you stay on stock with root. If you insist on a custom rom then I recommend probably GingerClone. Stock is the best thing for this phone for now. Anything else has to many issues after some time using them. No offense to the developers. They do what they can.

While you're absolutely correct in posting this thread in the correct forum, literally everything you have asked for has been covered in numerous threads before. I'll apologize for everyone for why we get a little up front with threads like these since we see at least 2 every week. I'm glad this isn't new to you, but before you get angry please look at the rules you agreed to when you signed up for XDA. This is a dev. site first and foremost and some leg work is expected on your part. Searching is something you agreed to do before posting a new thread and if you did so you would have found every answer you needed.

Bacon, you can become the official XDA librarian. Users can request features and you will sift through the books (roms) and send them what they want!
