Hi, I just wanted to welcome myself to the community. I originally had the samsung vibrant, but it was lost . Asurion sent me the sgs4g because they didn't have the vibrant available. I miss the 16gb of storage from the vibrant, but sgs4g sure has its benefits. I know it's nothing new for you guys, but I love the 4g speeds, the larger battery, and a WORKING gps that locks in seconds!!! The front facing camera is a cool added feature, but I am not sure if I would ever use it lol. Also based on the leaks we will eventually get gingerbread, hopefully . I did notice that rooting and flashing this phone is somewhat different which doesn't bother me. I just have to get used to it . All in all, I am very happy with this phone!
Oh, btw, most importantly, can't wait to start flashing!!!

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.

Thanks to all the dev's who spend time to help us. We know that is time you could be spending with your families, playing games, or mod'ing for your own phone. Most of you guy's who have made the major break through's don't even own this phone. If THAT doesn't say something for the selfless attitudes you have... Sincerely, Thanks!
Yup, I definitely agree. I read XDA forums every chance I get and I'm hooked onto trying to get the most out of my phone now that I've started flashing. Thank you all SO much!

Its been a while since MIUI was "started"... I totally forgot about it. :-/ This sgs4g is my first android phone so I have never used it, neither CM... but im enjoying what we have so anything that comes next its extra.
Question is, do you guys want a good solid working miui or a hacked together hardly usable pos miui? Things take time, and a lot of the additions I've seen coming out lately are all stepping stones. Hassling our devs isn't going to speed anything up.

Valhalla is pretty close to what you can do with CM. The real different is the t-mobile theme engine built in, and a few more tweaks. The only true benefit of cyanogenmod would be official support, so we would always be upgraded to the next OS. I'm not sure how CM9 will look though- it will be impressive no doubt.
Truth be told I do not know how they decide who gets official support. It is nice because you almost always have the latest OS before anyone. Then again, people tend to get bored with almost everything, if we had CM, we would probably still be switching to different roms. For example, I switched to Blandroid on my Nexus One because I would tired of CM. I switched back again, but you get my point.

I am sorry but I don't know what opinion I stated as a fact.
The point is that we have devs spending their free time building roms, tweaks, fixes, themes and everything else under the sun... and all people say is "what about ics?" How many times has this question been answered by devs themselves. I just looked in 5 threads and saw the answer 3 times. Its frustrating that nobody is ever happy with what they have and instead make posts about how we are a disgrace because we don't have ics. If you took time to read and understand there would never be a need for these topics.
Now perhaps I was a bit harsh but its getting ridiculous. My post was not meant to incite drama. It was meant to tell people to be grateful with what they have. In my opinion (not a fact since you can't tell the difference) that is more of a solution to the problem than just answering every thread the exact same way. This entire thread had absolutely no benefit to the community in anyway shape or form.
It's not in the OP but is a few posts down.

That was just asking for somebody to respond. But instead of just posting dang you guys should be grateful for what you have. Not that people make you sick. That just rubs me wrong and IMO you owe the community a apology for that. That was rude crude and unnecessary.
Y'all might want to have one of your devs look into porting a rom from the Vibrant (ics from 2.2 sources) yall have 2.3x sources and drivers which are handled very similarly in 4.x.x. One of your devs would have to make some alterations to existing Vibrant kernels since the GPS and Ramdisk and file directories are a bit different by comparison. Keymapping should be more or less the same and as i understand it yall have figured out how to get CWM running. Basically all yall would need to do is recompile an ICS kernel for yall's device (no easy task) n then use the framework and other files from a vibrant rom. Least that's what we didnt get 2.2.1 and hacked away at a release yall got
This phone is very different from the rest, is T-Mobile exclusive and we just recently got FBI source so of course were behind

Ehhh it is what it is guys. I'm sure you all knew what you'd be getting into before buying this phone. Can't expect much from it when its basically just a Vibrants cousin. Although I do appluad the little devs that have worked hard on this. But I think the same thing is happening to the Amaze. Great phone just like this, but it was just a Sensation cousin. That's why its always best to get the flasgship, and not its slightly bettter predecessor. That's why the SGS2 or 3 is what you should get, as well as the upcoming One X.

Ehhh it is what it is guys. I'm sure you all knew what you'd be getting into before buying this phone. Can't expect much from it when its basically just a Vibrants cousin.

I didn't really know this would happen but I'm still greatful for what we have. This was my first android phone and the best option at the time. I had no choice since my phone was broken and I really needed one.
