[Wish/idea] All major Captivate ROM devs unite!

Just looking for a public opinion on this idea. What if the major devs that we all know and love teamed up? The thought to me makes me wetter than a water buffalo. I wonder what the rom capabilitys would be like? Would it solve this pandemic sweeping the xda community known as "flash addict"? Are there devs willing to team up? whats your ideas?

devs colaborate all the time. the reason for so many roms is that different users have differnt wants and needs that conflict and different devs have different ideal on how it should be done.
flash addiction will not be solved by a better rom.
it is imposible to satisfy everyone. you can combine all the popular apps and launchers into one rom but if a user wants light weight that will not meet that users criteria.
that said there have also been teams that do very good work. team komin did amazing work on andromeda. the rom and kernel were both very good. unforunately they are sticking to the i9010 sources and have fallen behind in os version. i wish they would do an alternate rom based on i9000 sources, so we could get gingerbread at that quality.

Agree with above. A big reason devs make roms is for themselves. They add the features they want as well as accepting input from the community.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II Browser on G2X

A few questions:
1.) Any way to port the Touchwiz 4.0 Rom from the SGSII onto the G2X as a custom rom of sorts in the future?
2.) I'm sure you all have seen the phenomenal browser experience on the SGSII. Is there any way to match that on the G2X? Perhaps on gingerbread?

Hmm this should probably be in general.. just saying.. your probably gonna get flamed for this....

Porting this wouldn't be beneficial seeing how you would be incapable of flashing it because it would require reading and comprehension skills which by your question in the development section would price that you lack...

thanks for the good answer bro. appreciate it.

You should be able to install TouchWiz from an APK. We did on the N1 and it was fine.
The browser... not so sure.

[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!

Yes great idea!

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.

Put me down for $20.00 on the MIUI
I will do $20.00 for cm7 also

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

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.

ios on Infuse

Is it possible to have both ios and android on the infuse?

it's plenty cheezy enough to be called an iOS clone I guess
Plus, you get tons of over glamorous themes that make your phone look like Hello Kitty

It is likely possible, but I didn't find anything from a quick G search

No. Porting closed-source operating systems (especially iOS) to other devices is impossible unless the target device is almost identical.
Android can be ported to non-native devices in some cases, but that's because the majority of Android is open source.

I think I read somewhere about an apple developer doing this on an andriod device as a side project but he had source code and it took him a year.
there are vids of android devices running ios but I'm pretty sure it is heavily modified android with a very custom launcher to look like the apple search screen. it may be real but is not available and was probably done with leaked sources if it is. but it is probably either an extensive android mod or the guts of an iphone placed inside a different shell.

Putting ios on an Android device is like choosing ihop over waffle house. You just don't do it. Although ihop does have some tasty omelettes.

the last time I was in a state with a waffle house the white people wouldn't go there. but I agree cleanlyness aside the food was better and service was faster than huddle house (where the white people ate) there was no ihop though. actually I've never been in an ihop.

I think it's dumb but I saw I post with a video having ios on android phone search the fourm u will find it

There is a direct correlation between the number of letters lit in a Waffle House sign and the quality of the food/service/cleanlyness of the inside.
More than 3 letters out and I'm not stopping.

Make CM7 Look Just Like ICS

Hey guys, if you have CM7, I found a great way to make our phones look almost just like ICS as we wait for CM9.
No mods are required here and is completely free!
1) Install CM7
2) Go to the Play Store and download Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 Theme
3) Download Go Launcher and install any kind of ICS theme you like.
4) Download Go Locker and get the ICS theme
(This will now affect the notification settings)
5) Then go into Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget>Hide indicator if you want or just change color of indicator
6) Finally, download Phase Beam Live Wallpaper from Play Store
:laugh:
(Just to show to friends XD)

But don't you guys already have ICS ROMs?

If you are here to troll and insult the devs for not having ICS, please go back to the Nexus S forums. Our phone has insufficient driver sources thus it's kind of like trial and error for us.

It took me time to understand why people want ICS, functionality wise, but for the looks ??? What's so special about the ICS look? Light blue over black... nm.

I didn't mean it like that, to be honest. I hasn't researched too much into the SGS. I assumed it was released around the time of the Nexus S, which lease me to believe it should have similar hardware. My buddy goes on about how his SGS is better than my NS. My previous comment was directed towards him. Sorry.

Its OK, but we have had a lot of flaming here because of that. We will get ICS soon, bit we had to wait for a lot because of the issue about drivers. in fact, a few moths back, we even doubted that we'd get cm7.
