How will we ever know for sure???

With every fifth post being some sort of claim about the release of froyo for captivate, How will we ever know when it happens for real?
So if you were to stumble across the real release, How would you title your thread????
Lol. This ought to be good...

If it becomes official
1. At &t will announce it.
2. Every android site would announce it.
3. This forum will go nuts with everyone putting [official] in the title.
4. Custom ROM users would be laughing at the quality of it.
But till then keep the dream alive.... I like your optimism.

Speaking of that, what happened to your signature, no more patrick's day betting?

Well, I for one, could care less if/when they release it ... I think the devs around here can use some portions of it to further improve the ROMs we're seeing. I'm sure that there are quite a few people who have cappys, and don't even know what XDA Developers is, that should be very excited should it ever be released.
I'm on Andromeda 2.1 with the Speedmod K13 kernel and everything is great.
But to answer the question as to how we'll know when it's out? ... Your Mom will have it on her phone.

I predict AT&T will announce their official plans for froyo and eventually gingerbread for the captivate on April 1st.

I would troll it like this
"Attention folks wanting Froyo from ATT"

I stopped caring about an official froyo release the day I learned to flash roms on my cappy.

"Hey Samsung why u no froyo teh captivate till now yo? Why no gingerbread heh?

The day we get Froyo.... is the day they make an LG Env with froyo for all the preteen girls who want to text their BFF Jill without needing a lagfix. We're such a low percentage of the customer base.
4/5 captivate owners I know don't even know what froyo is.
Getting it out there isn't quite a main concern of AT&T right now, what with their unveiling of newer, shinier Pantech phones with lower specs than the ones before it. T_T

Yeah, most of the people that really want Froyo just flash their phones. Why would AT&T/Samsung bother paying someone to make a working build when their customers will do it for free? The only reason AT&T will release Froyo and Gingerbread updates would be to prevent their customers from using tethering and AP for free. Speaking of which, I need to donate to Team Komin

Let's stay on topic here....
This is a serious thread... lol

The day that froyo releases somebody will start a thread with the name:
It's Finally here! Froyo has arrived [Official]
And then all the trolls will spam the thread with their WE WANT GINGERBREAD trolling. So I guess it's the day the world explodes..

Something like "Holy crap, Froyo is out for cappys. No really, it is, seriously, not a joke, look for yourself. Ah forget it"

Now That We Have I9000 GingerBread Source...

Shall we make a thread for all of us to drool over the thoughts of custom roms coming soon? i think yes . I think that the roms id like to see a version of in gingerbread would have to be Firefly,di11igaf,Cognition and paragon. That would be AWESOME! Could you imagine that awesome FireFly theme on GingerBread....DOWANT. What about you guys? Lets have soemthing to talk about until those roms start pourin out from all the freakin awesome devs here.

Seriously? Do you not even look in the forum? There is already a post about this.

Just curious, why are XDA people so uptight? If you don't like the thread, don't respond. It will get shuffled down to the bottom eventually. It's not that annoying if someone miss posts, or decides to create a new thread when one already exists... Unless you have no life I guess...

Well that would also go against the AOSP thing hah. But i agree that would be awesome to have a good camera going in CM7. I also am hopefull for the things that this I9000 source can bring to CM7 and MIUI even if it cant help the camera (or maybe it can lol)

Why the attitude, the guy is just simply trying to avoid cluttering the forum. A simple "Ohh I didn't know, thanks for pointing out" should have been enough. Why are people so deffensive?. I missed the old WM days.
Thread closed and will closed other threads with the same topic, posted today, tomorrow or a year ago... simple as that.

[Q] Voodoo?

I just saw that the infuse just got voodoo lagfix. This phone has been out quite a while and is incredibly close to the vibrant. Is this phone lacking support that badly? I guess I'll contact supercurio directly to see what can be done.

While this phone doesn't have a large developer base it is coming along nicely, drhonk just got a loaner phone and has developed a sweet kernel for us (before he even had loaner) krylon360 we wouldn't have CWM (with drhonks help) and birgertime just yesterday got trigger rom ported over from the vibrant and a host of others that are learning,there is no doubt in my mind that lagfix will get here this phone is a beast. Instead of whinning you should be thankful for what we have and will get in the future. (Those of you that have helped and I didnt name sorry not trying to leave you out just to numerous to name so Thank You All)

Don't take it personally.
This community is edgy about all the "sgs4g doesn't have this, can't do that, has nothing available" type posts. When our community was struggling we used to get trolls and tons of posts like that. Not saying YOUR legit post was one of those. Just telling you where that vibe is coming from.
Happy Modding, and please let us know if you hear about the lag fix mod.

Has Dev Stalled???

Being a long time XDA member I know I am prob going to flamed for opening this thread.
I seems to me that ROM development has stalled on the Infuse. This is very dishearting.
My question, is this due to the devs waiting on the CA Infuse w/GB to be released?
I love my Infuse but I miss the amount of dev work that was happening on the captivate. I'd like to see native CMW via ROM Manager.
Erik

Other threads have already addressed this. They aren't going to sink their time into it until GB comes out.

@nopcodex and @MikeyMike....
I know that even though I'm piecing together what I can with my kernel, If either of you want to bounce ideas off me or want me to help sift through and compare code, all you guys need to do is holler or drop me a line. I want to do AS much as I possibly can....
@etijburg, Yes. With the promise of Gingerbread this summer as an official through a Canadian Infuse it's silly to put too much work into a rom or kernel unless like myself, you need more practice. That's 95% of why I keep pushing even though I know alot of what I am doing will have to be revamped or completely ditched post GB.
Plus I like tinkering...

If you already know you'll probably get flamed, why do you post this in the first place?

Now that the Vibrant has an ICS ROM

Now that the Vibrant has an ICS ROM currently under development, and since I have read Vibrant ROM's can be ported to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, does anyone know how feasible this would be? From my understanding the storage is a bit different (partitioning?) but the hardware in these devices appears very similar.
I've read the post about porting Vibrant ROM's but I've also read a few people haven't had much luck. Since I am on leave this coming week I've decided I'll tinker a bit with the concept, I'm also curious if anyone else has.
No doubt, I wish I had the capability to use the source to begin work on a ROM compiled directly towards the SGS4G, but alas I do not
Any ideas or inputs would be greatly appreciated. I am disappointed in the lack of development for this phone, but I do understand why.

Probably won't happen. We don't even have an aosp kernel compiled that I am aware of. Someone was trying to get the KJ6 kernel edited like drhonks and even that didn't turn out.
The couple devs we have left around here are just doing little tweaks and theaming the stock rom lately.... no real new developing afaik.
Kinda sucks... but this phone is pretty much dead in the water.

Yea we are struggling to get a dated cm7 so what makes you think we can get something newer than that.

@camalus But you do have the kernel released for GB by Samsung as of recent, which from what I've seen others are doing to get ICS working on their devices.

People, cm kernel is made, just being tweaked, according to krylon. Lets wait patiently, maybe we'll get cm7, then someone will have enough courage to build ICS
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I'd agree, CM7 would be great to have on this device. And hopefully their development of CM7 could make moving from CM7 to CM9 much more easier. I just know this device should run ICS just as well as the Vibrant, and I've seen people port Vibrant ROM's to the SGS4G so I was curious if one thought their was a faster possibility.

If you are so needy for new ROMs and development then you should do it yourself or be patiently waiting for WIPs the "few" but great developers have announced and not flooding the forum with wine and cheese... Just my two cents... Im just saying...

I know, the devs are great and i feel bad for them for having to put up with alot of crap from other members , but sometimes the devs are assholes too.

Actually, my inquiry was related to the idea of porting the ROM from the Vibrant to this device myself, and asking if anyone with knowledge of doing so if it was even a worthy attempt.
I'm also going to say I have noticed the Samsung side of XDA seems to have only a few developers with knowledge and insight and TONs of people waiting for a chance to flame others. Here is a hint: your post is entirely unconstructive. It isn't your job to protect the developers and when you hop into a thread to shoot your two cents of flame it only details. You are also potentially pushing away the progress others might make by being a douche.
Thanks.

Yes. I get all your comments about how no good is to flame. I dont really care. Just to begin with. I only posted that because people only do is ask and complain about the "few" devs that only do theme-ing and/or their little so called development. Thats flameful and disrespectful itself because if you want some ICS, you can enjoy Ravers Octane. It may not be ICS but you get my idea. This is an old phone, everybody knows that and we just got GB source a few weeks ago. Its not going to be rainning ROMs instantly. Also, GB is older than the phone itself. The Vibrant has been around for maybe 2 years and many people jumped in the first round of Galaxys, probably skipped this Vibrant Plus so then we dont get many users or devs, therefore why so little development. ICS just got out and is available on like three phones whereas the GB have been around and phones now even come with it while we had to start from froyo...
Bah this is pointless debating. Im just sick of these threads talking sh!+ about development here. Everyone should be grateful of what we have. Again, you want something made then do it yourself. Like it or not, its simple like that.
I wont be visiting this so much contributive thread with my so much non contributive posts. And dont mind critizing my typos, English is not my first language.

All of you should call down.
Op, i remember seeing a thread on how to port any vibrant ROM to the sgs4g. It was pretty detailed and very good. Try looking into that to see if you could get a working ics from the vibrant

Same thing, since our phone is so different, wouldn't we need an ICS bootloader and or kernel source for ICS for it to work. CM7 may be here in a month, but ICS won't be here until a year after CM9 comes out, if at all. So, just wait for your 2 year tmo contract to end and switch to sprint and get the galaxy nexus 2(possibly 2012).
