Odds of Cyangen Rom? - Verizon Droid Charge

Guys what are the odds of stock android rom hacked on to the Sammy Charge???
Wondering what others are thinking?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

The odds are better than the odds that you took time to read the Development board where there are 2 ROMs available
and most likely a 3rd one soon by the dev that did the Liberty ROM the Tesla ROM.....
But if all you care about is this CM ROM; go get something else.

I'm sure there will be one eventually, but if you want it within the next month, I'd look elsewhere, as there are no guarantees as to when it will come or how functional it will be.

Lol @ Shotgunsams great response.

@shotgunsam...... Ummmm roms available. There all spruced up TouchWiz tweaks.
I am meaning a true Rom not built ontop of touchwiz.
Either i was looking for hope of one. Since the fascinate never got one.

Uh, did you read the descriptions of the ROMs? DroidXCon gives you LauncherPro, other launchers soon to come, and imnuts has a streamlined ROM with the default AOSP launcher. Both completely remove TW launcher, according to the descriptions.
I too would love to see CM7 for this device. But the fact is, there are a few great ROM's available already, which is incredible considering the phone has only been out for two weeks! I really appreciate the hard work of the devs, and can't wait to see what's available in the coming weeks.

I got the DI when it first came out. First it was when will it get root. Root was a ***** becasue it was so random it worked with some sd cards and some it did not. There were methods of clicking your sd card in and out which actually worked for me. Not a day latter everyone was *****ing about roms. When will we get this or that rom. Look at almost 1 year later and there are crazy amount of roms. It takes time be patient and look forward to what is coming. Crap I am typing this and I don't even get my charge till tuesday. I hate touchwiz I will root,rom,replace launcher with one of my choosing. If I hate something will just get another phone 6 8 months down the road but really not concerned about it at this point. I think in time it will be like every other phone tons of awesome roms from great developers. Liberty was one of if not the best roms for the droidx which I own. Just knowing they same people that worked on that rom is doing stuff for charge has me stoked.

Guys im not knockin the devs. But everything is built off TOUCHWIZ just cause you get rid of the launcher its still touchwiz under the hood.
The fascinate never had a locked bootloader either and noone ever got a stock android rom working. So i was just asking if it would be possible here. Anyways no biggie....

No way of saying will it get cwm7 or not. I will say the Droid x has a locked boot loader but Liberty rom was amazing. They put a ton of details and tweeks so that you could change things they way you want. As much as you could anyways with a locked boot loader. The developers of that rom did a great job with what they had to work with. Now if they are dev for this phone and it is fully unlocked. Wow no dobut will they put out a awesome rom for it. Now I have every intention to installing the best roms out for this phone when I get it tuesday. Developers deserve not only our thanks but donations as well. Thank you guys that put in all the hard work making our phones run crazy cool.

Unlike other skins tw is small and really is easy to remove. I've deleted alot and it still is functioning. Sense roms=200MB touchwiz=100MB and idk about blur

Do you know why the fascinate still doesn't have a fully functional cm7? Samsung code. And lack of true full source... This too is a samsung device...

Well Samsung released the kernel source pretty much immediately didn't they? Also didn't Samsung say they were going to be better about releasing that kind of stuff, and also keeping bootloaders more open? So this could be a real possibility. Although if you know what your removing, I would assume like HTC Sense, you can pretty much take a TW based rom and completely remove TW and have it work fine.

You do know that the Fascinate is knocking on the door to get full CM7 support don't you? Honestly, if you didn't like the Fascinate, you won't like the Charge, and based on your posts here, I don't think you ever like any android phone as they all seem to have one problem or another.

The reason the download is so big is that Samsung didn't clean out the kernel source tree after building, and tar'd up the source files as well as the built binaries (and all the other generated files). After you download, do "make distclean" and you'll save yourself some space and get rid of the useless files.

Apparently a lot of people are having trouble understanding the question. lol
I been wondering the same thing though. I have a good feeling about CM getting on bored eventually, it's what I'm looking foreward to the most with this phone. I miss having my notification bar on the bottom of my phone like I did with my D'Inc... lol
The only reason I say I "think" that it has a good chance getting CM support is because it seems, besides the Fascinate, they have been doing a great job cracking down on Samsung phones lately in the past few months. Besides the more phone supported by them, the better and the more recongnition they get. Until then ADW Ex is working fine for me.
Shout out to CM for all the awesome hard work.

@mozes316 cool. Nice of you to give a thought without going haywire on me like some others. Lol

You looked into the epic cm7 builds? Lots of issues.
Any cdma phone is having serious issues with the porting.

Coming from the original Incredible (CDMA) Rooting and ROMing was a breeze and also received CM support pretty quickly. If anything, I would think that the 4G radio would be the hardest work around. You never know though.

[ROM] Final Froyo Release for Emerald by CCRoms V2.02 Next Up Gingerbread

Welcome to the final release of Froyo, by the CCRoms team, which means you guessed it, we're switching gears to Gingerbread after this release. With this release we managed to get the Evo/Emerald going as intended(sorry for the wait.) The Galaxy S style pulldown power widget has been implemented in this release as well. Gem settings have been completely re-written as well, to provide a more intuitive and easier to understand interface for everyone, and of course bug fixes abound.
downloads available at: http://www.ccroms.net
Note:
Droid X users, at this point there is nothign more we can find to do to improve battery life. When/If the battery starts to drain fast, gets sluggish, or gets hot, reboot the phone this will put the race condition causing all of these problems back to sleep, unfortunately there is no way to put the process back to sleep once it wakes up and if you kill the process kernel panics and the phone reboots anyway.
who ??? !! @[email protected]
Uh.... yeah... Im pretty sure this is for Droid X only.
No this is for evo. The emerald rom is evo, everything else is for droid

Its against the rules to post a rom that link to another site just to download. Would recommend just posting the actual download link and not a link to the site.
Need some screen shots please, have no idea what exactly this is.
from the darkside
From what it looks like, its just stock AOSP.

This is a pretty solid rom. I tried it out back when the first Evo alphas showed up. We just haven't seen this dev much in the evo world.
If it means anything to people, Cyanogen even follows the original dev. He also posted about the dropdown a while back.

guess I'll give it a shot... Odd they say its a 2.2 Froyo rom with no way of getting 4G to work... hmm... And these guys are supposed to be great? We shall see... Downloading now.

To be fair, i never said there's no way of ever getting 4G to work, i just said that there's no way to get it to work on this release of Emerald as I haven't looked into any of the work cyanogen has done with it. As I recall the wimax work they have been doing is still very alpha.
Regardless, I also don't ever recall toting myself as "great" either, so I don't really appreciate the sarcasm. I work hard to try to produce something that I feel is worthwhile and people might enjoy. Nothing more and nothing less.
Just flashed. Running pretty nice. Wish there was a clear vm option though. Im one of the unlucky phantom vm icon recipients. Otherwise very nice.

ok cool... misunderstood
I'm so used to CM it is hard for me to get away, but this is a really nice clean ROM. It was probably the best non-CM AOSP build I have tried, and it doesn't have the little bit of theming that CM has. It lacks some of the special features of CM, but adds some cool ones, like a built in WiiMote app.
Kudos to the gem team.
I remember hearing about this rom awhile back. Doesn't hurt to have options for AOSP roms

i've used the emerald rom and it was very very nice!
I tried the alpha a few weeks ago...not quite ready for daily use, at that time...now, however, the rom looks a lot more polished.
I'm still a big fan of Ultimate Droid for my Evo, but this is another nice option.

Cyanogen beats ALL manufacturers to 2.3

Just read on Twitter. Cyanogen has 2.3. (sadly not for us).
But to put it in perspective. As their official Twitter announcement stated.
A bunch of GEEKS beat all manufacturers to 2.3 *Gingerbread* by reverse engineering their devices.
GREAT WORK ALL..

Do they mean they beat them to upgrading devices to 2.3? because there are already 2.3 devices out iirc.
yeah my buddy has been running CM7 for a few weeks now i think on his HTC Desire.
because of the camera and mms issues he went back to 6.1 though.
Either way progress up stream always helps us!
Not us specifically since we have already been told we wont be seeing cm for our device unless somebody not on the cm team ports it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Just saying. Even if we never see CM7 there is still the knowledge that they gained that could be used.
More importantly it shows the ingenuity and selfless dedication that the DEVs in the community have..
Yeah that is true... imagine what amazing things we could get if some manufacturer would hire a couple of these devs and take the risk of having a totally open phone that could come rooted and available to theme and install roms on... the amount of work the developers we have could do if they were being paid an actual salary and had tons of coders and R&D and everything is just too much to think about. imagine how much money they could make from all the hacker/developer people that would jump on a device like that.

1. the bionic is essentially an lte droid x2 and cvcps who brought cm7 to the droid x, d2, and d2g (the latter 2 through others adapting his work with 2nd init) has a bionic and is doing it...theres nothing surprising in that really..as long as moto didnt change much around
2. jt1134 is it essentially when it comes to sgs cdma aosp in terms of getting it going...he *just* got a charge a few weeks ago and its bad esn/damaged and hes still made a lot of progress...if anyone can do it on a phone that has crazy samsung coding and ril mess its him
if you *really* wanted aosp you should only buy phones that have it already

If you wanted AOSP so badly, you should have waited for it to be available on an LTE phone before you bought one. Buyers remorse is no reason to come onto the forums and ***** about not getting something that's unsupported and done in the developer's free time.

I have used CM7 before, and I love it. I look forward to it coming just as much as a lot of people. But I'm not going to get pissed about it because development is going slower than I would like in the perfect world that exists in my brain. I don't get pissed because I know I'm unable to contribute to the process, so I have to just sit and wait patiently.
If you were contributing code daily and fixing issues, and the rest of the people working on the project weren't doing as much as you or stalling on the project, then maybe you'd have an angle for getting upset. But as it stands, you just need to STFU and wait for JT to make a breakthrough like the rest of us.

Inexperience has absolutely nothing to do with the responses that have been posted here. It is rude and in all honesty a sign of your inexperience for you to complain about the speed of development. You are neither contributing nor populating the forums with decent honest questions or any positive material!
This is the exact reason that most devs have left xda alltogether. So take your whiney ass somewhere else or better yet sell your charge and use the money to get an iphone...

I used CM7, OMFGB, and jt1134's Vanilla GB on the fascinate, but I have nothing to contribute in the way of development of a ROM except for thorough testing. So I calmly wait and accept the fact I am on the dev's timetable. I suggest you do the same. Couple of things for you to consider:
1) Read the stories about CM7 on the Bionic. Everything I read said it booted on the phone, but is nowhere near functional enough for release. From what I have read of jt's progress on CM7 for the Charge, he is ahead of the Bionic progress.
2) Have you noticed some of the most respected devs, Nitsuj17 and Adrynalyne, have started chiming in here and are telling you to stfu? Especialy Nitsuj17, he is one of the nicest guys I have seen across many forums. It's a truly rare occasion when he responds to someone the way he did here, so good job. That to me is a big clue you are talking out of your ass and are the real clueless one.
Next time you open your mouth it would be a good idea to first remove you head from your ass. It prevents you from spouting nothing but a bunch of ****.

Maybe a chance for Sidekicks advancement?

I just read a little bit ago that the motorola cliq 2 just got Gingerbread after a year and four months of no updates at all. Do you think this means we have a chance for GB or just a tease that one old phone gets special support and not the others? And if we got true ginger would it help with the ROM/Mod nation or would it just be putting sparkles on the corpse of our phone?
Probably not. That news inst super recent, and motorola supports their phones a little bit better then samsung. If we get gingerbread it will be through the community more than likely.

Okay, off of the argument is there any chance of a custom made Ginger or is it hypothetical or? I've seen a few people tweaking kernels and such in their threads but Is there a real answer or is it just maybe?

Gingerbread on Sidekick is currently only hypothetical. My take is that it might still be possible, but very difficult.
Sduvick managed to boot an AOSP 2.2 kernel up to a certain point, but IIRC, it was still far from usable. No graphics. His work is available in github.
Winxixi got CM7 booting and into the GUI, but with incomplete driver support. I think he got frustrated and left. His work is also available in github.
I don't know if winxixi would consider continuing development, or if he has moved on to a different device. If he would continue development, and the rest of us helped with troubleshooting, research, etc., perhaps we can get a fullly operational Gingerbread.
It's really just a big project, very difficult for an individual to tackle to completion. Dividing the labor might improve the outlook.

Yes, it's being ported using the machete toolchain.
What's the Machete Toolchain? And is CM going to help us get a little farther up the Droid food chain? I mean I don't expect Jelly Bean on my phone but Ginger, or a ginger mock up would be cool, I would like some kind of exploit for the ICS exclusive apps and such to make it a bit smooth (I know It's a basically unattainable dream don't worry
It's a bit of a joke. Machete like this: http://images.google.com/search?q=machete+blade&btnG=Search&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1
I.e. he's hacking off pieces Touchwiz as though with a knife.
I think CM6 will if not help, atleast give hope towards CM7 coming to this device.

Honestly I'd be thrilled if we gained a vanilla, built-from-source CM6 ROM, especially if the sources/patches were made fully available.

Its a little more involved then that. Lots of AOSP/CM6 patches to replace the Touchwiz components. Piece by piece im riding the stock rom of Touchwiz. I had to compile and mingle code to get AOSP messaging working correctly.

I know, but the machete image fits better with my feelings toward Touchwiz.

This device is super unique when it comes to the LED lighting. NO other device has this kind of LED setup. So I have no device that is all AOSP to compile it from.

[BOUNTY][REACHED]Let's get nitroglycerine33 Eclipse ROM on our s3

The bounty has been reached! Thanks XDA! I'll update the OP when Nitro had a phone.
UPDATE: phone had been purchased and week be doing it Monday, confirmed by hesh.monster
FINAL UPDATE: NITRO JUST GOT HIS S3.... HERE WE GO!
If you haven't heard of Eclipse ROM you've probably been living under a rock. If you have heard of them, then you know of the unmatched stability and speed. Not to mention sheer beauty!
nitroglycerine33 is already working on a ROM for the s3, but doesn't own the device. This limits the testing and work he can do, so we need to get him one! I figure 450 is about the average price for one. So let's set that as a goal, nitro says he's already got 20 towards that goal. His donation link is at the bottom of this post. Please post your donation so I can keep track of the total. All donations are going straight to him and if we get more then what we spend on the device it will stay with him as a donation for his hard work.
Also I just sent 40 so now we're at 60 total only 390 to go! Let's get some Eclipse!

Solid. Stable. Sexy. Support.
That's Eclipse.
Get some

eclipse ROMs are more like AOSP roms, at least that's what it was on my DX2. correct me if i'm wrong
He made a great Rom for the Fascinate, Evil Fascination, based off touchwiz. It was the only Rom i ran for about a year. It was that good

I dunno man, a bunch of people bought him a Bionic and he never did **** with it. Kept saying he was gonna make an ICS Eclipse ROM but always had a story about how he was waiting for OTA. He could/should have built it on the leaks but he didn't. He was more focused on other devices. Just food for thought.

Yes his ROMs are usually similar to AOSP. Even his stock based use a lot of AOSP apps (dialer, gallery, camera, etc). They are oh so sexy, and incredibly stable and his support if the ROM it's unrealistic. If there's a problem he fixes it!

I couldn't agree more. I ran Eclipse on my charge and my RAZR Maxx I woods veer off and try others (,I think I have a problem) but would always come back to eclipse.

I don't know what happened on the bionic, but I do know that his ROM was great for both the RAZR and charge. He also doesn't release a ROM that isn't stable. He also already has a build for the s3 just needs some bug fixing. Which is hard to do without the phone.

Wow dude.. so two full builds from the last two gingerbread updates is nothing? Supporting builds for months and building blind for months is nothing? Just because I thought ICS was coming soon I never put out an official build. How do you think i built version 3.0?
ICS leaks were coming weekly for a little while there... I love people like you who feel entitled to things.

I have never ran or heard of your roms (not trying to bash) but I donate to devs that get the device themselves and then show us their skills... I have a hard time donating to someone that should be able to get the phone somehow...? I am living on a set income but found a way to get this device because I love new tech but the comment above makes me think that you think your entitled to a G3 cause your a good dev that needs one (which I don't doubt).. Just sayin... Your work is hugely appreciated but you can find ways of getting the device yourself and then if your that good at what you do then your S3 will be paid for VERY quickly! Once again... Not trying to flame in ANY way shape or form... I would donate in a heartbeat if your roms are as good as people say but you just gotta get that S3 like a bunch of other devs have done on their own.

Unfortunately, most people don't bother to donate to a dev so on top of the time they invest in making the ROM they are also buying these devices. Nitro is a great dev and this bounty was set up because I and others want his work to come to the s3 NOT because nitro just wants a new phone. He already has many other devices he works on and bought himself. So I appreciate your view and agree IF it actually worked that way were people took care of there Devs but it doesn't.

Like I said I would NEVER bash a dev cause they MAKE this community what it is!! I donate to at least 2 devs a month and $10 at the very least... It's to bad others don't do the same... Granted it is a hobby for most devs that they LOVE doing but they also get treated like crap and people think that the dev owes them a fix right now!!! LOL That's not the case... I hope nitro does get a G3!! :good:

The guys got two kids, a wife, and a full-time job. Additionally, he's never abandoned a device, even when he's running something else. Heard of the X2? He saved it. He doesn't make it a habit to build off leaks, as many devs do. Want to know why? Because stability is his number one concern. This guy builds for YOU while he is working, or in between diaper changes.
What have you done for android? Besides make yourself look like an ass in here?
How many one man teams do you know that does that? Huh? Anyone? Exactly. People like you don't deserve to have fancy, fun devices. Go get an iPhone and take your ****ty, ungrateful attitude somewhere else. Or build something yourself.
See you guys in a week or so. I'll take a ban to defend a stand up dev/person.
Peace.

I had the bionic and ran his rom. damn right he made it great. why build off of a leak anyway. the leaks were coming so fast it was crazy. imagine having to start over every time. its called time management. building off of leaks seems like a good idea till you do it (I tried and failed miserably. but got a new phone out of it) I would suspect that you were not one of the ones that donated for the bionic because you did not say a bunch of "us ".so why is it any skin off of your back? thanks for the x and bionic Rome can't wait to run the gs3 version.
Right on wolf you said it
