Interest in Inspire AOSP?

I was wondering if any of you guys were interested in full AOSP build or if CM7 was good enough for all you. If so, would you guys like optimized or pure vanilla, or both? I have some time soon, so if there's enough interest I'll compile a build for all y'all.
So who wants it?

AOSP=Android Open Source.
I had to look that up

That would be awesome! Either way would be good

Just how far from aosp does cm7 deviate?

Hellz yes please!
I'll give either one a go.

I, for one, would be interested in a AOSP rom for our Inspires. There are somethings in CM7 that I could careless for, although I found ways around them. ex: Removing ADW launcher and replacing with stock GB launcher.

Alright guys, I'll start work tomorrow and keep everyone posted through this thread, so check back

Sounds great!
Out of curiosity, would this proposed ROM have your OC kernel and battery fix included?
Appreciate the work!

I'm going to make a pure stock vanilla and an optimized ROM, but the optimized would have it.

As in AOSP just as Google intends Android to be... made for the Inspire 4g hardware? Heck yeah!

That would be great. CM7 is awesome but AOSP would be cool. I take it this was said blank canvas?

Exactly I love getting into new things, and AOSP was next on my list. Unfortunately, high school and a tattooing apprenticeship take up a lot of my time, so the kernel went unsupported for a bit. It's going on the backburner, but it'll be re-cooked after I finish porting AOSP. I'm shooting for a fully working MIUI kernel too now that we have gingerbread 1.3.18, but AOSP takes precedence. plus cattleprod should probably be able to beat me to it. so I should be able to get started tomorrow night, or Monday morning at latest.

We talking Gingerbread? If so count me in

Let me know if you want help with this, this is something I've been looking into doing as well.

I've been waiting for a stock build of Gingerbread to be written for a while now! I hope this is made specifically for the Inspire 4G too... I'm tired of everything thinking I have a Desire HD. That noice-canceling mic means so much to me
Utilizing the source coding released by HTC, I assume?

Just an update: i started working on sunday. I made some progress but wubi dicked up my bootloader on my comp so i have to get back into it. I made a lot of headway though, so i'll let you guys know what's up later tonight

Thank you so much. This will be awesome. I enjoy CM7 but pure google is what I really want. I constantly check XDA app to see if this thread has any updates.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

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.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

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
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

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. ;-)

Any news on ROMs??

Has anyone heard anything about Liberty coming to our phones or whatever happened with Darkcharge? I know team gummy joined up with the liberty guys to bring liberty to our phones but haven't heard anything else about it. I can only assume that Darkcharge is no longer continuing development for us since it seemed to get bashed (for a lack of better words) upon release.

imnuts is working hard on Infinity, but he's somewhat of a perfectionist *and* he's having to redo his work on EP4, so it's slow to release. If you hang out in IRC, he apparently posts links to the latest beta build occasionally, though he forbids those builds from being distributed any father.

personally im not upgrading soon (cant justify 300 bucks around the holidays)...but probably whatever big sammy/htc phone drops in late q1 or so
i *think* sbrissen, imnuts, and omj will get gnexus's though

That's the biggest peeve I have with phones today. A new phone drops, gets worlds of praise for 3 weeks (figuratively of course...or not?) And then something new gets released. It almost seems like the term "flagship" doesn't apply to smartphones.

Nothing new I'm afraid, at least not until developers get their hands on RIL sources. Until then, AOSP roms will lack data/connectivity (to my knowlegde).

Need an official build to be released by Verizon so they release source.

makes sense to a point... how is it that the epic for example didn't have a official source until a couple weeks ago had all kinds of roms g.b froyo themes etc.. but we don't is it cause they have a lot more knoledgable devs over there or is there something i am missing....

I was wondering about some more versions of the 2.3.6, any word? Love humble 5.0 though
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

With the speed and timing that leaks are being released, the devs don't want to spend the time to update every week. It is a lot of work porting a rom up to a new leak, just to have it happen again the week after. The # of devs is the charge community is small, and this is just due to luck. Maybe once the source gets released, and now that the charge is FREE with contract, we may see a influx of new people and possible devs. Until then, just cool your jets, and use whats available.

Yeeeeah, I don't know that we'll see many more devs jumping on the Charge Train. But we've got a pretty good thing going on here... we've got Gummy, Infinity, and Humble, plus a slew of Froyo ROMs to choose from. Like you said, with the timing of the leaks, anyone who is devving for the Charge is waiting on something to go Gold and come OTA. Once source is released, we'll have everything we need. At that point, there's a good chance we score CM7 (hopefully CM9 as well).
I'm still using Gummy FE and loving it. The only thing I wish I had right now and don't is a FlatBlack themed Swype for the 3.26 Beta. Anyone know how to theme that bastard yet? I know that there are some .9's that exist but I'm curious to know if anyone can charge the trace color, etc.

This makes me wanna jump ship other than the very helpful and knowlegable members here crossing my fingers for a galaxy s 2 or maybe ill just buy a unlocked one not sure yet

I think there are hybrids that get close to CM7 but I doubt you will see ics, most of the developers will have upgraded phones by then so why would they bother working on it.....I think ppl are trying but it's a long shot to get to cm9

There's some very good work being done towards getting CM7 working. A CM7 port using Samsung's proprietary BML partition layout is pretty close, but a CM7 port using the open source MTD layout, which is much easier to manage, is not near.
I think everyone would prefer, for the ease of simplicity of future porting efforts, to get MTD functioning on the SGS4G before tackling CM9/ICS.

I'm working on an ics hybrid now... I've got it to boot but still very unstable. It reboots about every 10 seconds or so... just have patience...

Oooo.... I want to hang out at your Github.

Every time I see one of these threads, I wonder why anyone wants ics or cm# so badly. VB rocks enough for me... Can't see ics being that much better. Just my opinion.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Hi P06o
It's not that our ROMs don't rock, it's just that they're not perfect. They have their issues and they are full of Sami ****, not included in AOSP ROMs such as ICS, CM7/CM9. These ROMs are faster and lighter, not to mention having bigger customization and locality support.

I'm a one man wolf-pack. Other phones have many developers. A few people are helping out, but forward progress still takes time.
The phone is newer then the vibrant. Not even sk4g has ics. It takes time to make software work correctly.
I would be more curious of what your old login was...
Were you actually banned from the forum, or were you aware that having multiple logins on XDA is forbidden?
