Attention ALL DEVs!!! - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

The Samsung Admire (SCH-720R)(Metro PCS) community is in desperate need of CWM, Custom Kernel and ROM for this great phone. We need any willing developer to pitch in on this. I know nothing about code, but I am willing to test new projects.
We were able to obtain root which allowed us to remove bloatware from the hpone allowing it to run smoother. But we all know that it is not enough to have this phone running to its maximum potential.
If you are interested and willing to help us out, please feel free to contact me through here or by sending me a PM.
Thank you in advance for all your work and dedication.

Have you contacted Koush via email or twitter yet?

This is a great chance to get one. Make it easier on yourself to contact him, don't make him go through more trouble for him to help you... See what I'm getting at?

Ok, I just sent Koush a PM. Hopefully we can get this done. Thank you!

im not sure if Koush is going to help, im pretty sure all he does is add a version of CWM into Rom Manager
krylon didnt get CWM from koush he sent it to him
could be wrong though

insurance from what company? if tmobile, it is the biggest fraud I have seen. They will give a new battery for free, but if the phone is damaged, they will charge you for a contract price phone without the contract, so instead of 600 bucks, 200 bucks. Also, they will send it in to be verified "damaged". If they can repair it, you will get your old phone back.

That's why you report it missing, the deductible is $130 on sgs4g and you can do that twice in a twelve month period, so Tmobile is not always bad

Maybe the Samsung Admire community can raise a fund for some developers. The SGS4G forum did it twice for Whitehawkx and RaverX3X. They've turned out really successful too.
Just throwing out a suggestion. *shrug*

It doesn't seem like there is one. :/ I just tried searching for it.
Maybe the people who have it could keep a look out when it comes up.
The model number is SCH-r720, in case if anyone's interested.

I'm surprised no one has contacted me....
well, I will need a test phone. Much like I did with the SGS4G. The SK4G was an easy build due to its configuration.
Luckyduck is the person who sent me the test phone to begin with. I had CWM booting for the phone the day after I got it. Just needed to be tweaked for the correct config which is what took so long.
Just let me know.

CWM coming soon for 4G BE PATIENT!

Alrighty, Krylon and I have worked out the minor details and im headed to the post office to ship him my 4G first thing tomorrow(wed) morning. Please be patient and let nature take its course. Stop trying to flash the Vibrant CWM on the 4G, it will not work. You run the risk of doin' some srs bsnz to your shiny new handset flashing a cwm or sd fix that is not made for your phone. You will all have your Custom firmware fix soon.
If you feel a compulsion to donate to Krylon or myself, go nuts, i wont stop you!

No worries. Just appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I feel like I'm waiting for a great ROM to be released from Team Whiskey when I used to have my Vibrant. lol. At least I don't have to read through hundreds of pages like before.
Hey guys, crappy news. With whats happening in Japan im on a 45 day underway and i don't have time to send my phone off at the moment. We have to go hang by the coast and make sure nobody tries to take advantage of Japans situation. Wish my carrier group luck and if no-one has taken my place by the time i get back into Norfolk ill send my phone then.
Sorry guys, but the situation in Japan takes a bit of priority at the moment.

I hope luckyduck69 would be willing to still send a phone over to krylon.
Krylon can you please respond to luckyduck's PM?
I've already been in touch with him. He's picking up a 2nd one today and sending me one....well that was the plan anyway. Waiting on a response.
Krylon, I know you haven't taken a look at the phone yet but Im new to the samsung world and curious about the differences from my G1. From another post I gather that the final product for installing/using CWM will involve a zip that is flashed from the standard recovery that replaces the standard recovery with CWM and then reboots? Is that what you think will end up doing to get CWM working? If so what about these phones require such a work around? I've tried doing some googleing but i get a lot of false positives in my results.
Thanks in advance for any answers and all the other work you do.

the kernel isn't a standard kernel. It uses a initramfs. which has recovery built into it. This is what makes it different.

Lets get evild a g2x!

I'm sure many of you are firmilar with evild's work on the n1, mt4g and other highend devices. I happened to flash his 3.0 rom on my wifes mt4g sand got to chatting with him. Hes interested in getting a g2x, so I told him id attempt to orchestrate a collection of funds to buy him a g2x. First things first, what will a no contract g2x cost? What is the cheapest anyone has seen one for sale off contract? Secondly, if anyone has an upgrade they are willing to donate, THAT WOULD BE PHENOMENAL! I'm good for $100 to start things off. If you find one off contract for cheap, please post links! Moderators, please feel free to get involved.
Check out evildroid.net
Crx4xharder $100
Nate420 $20
Jlevy73 $20

Does he plan on making a sense port for the G2X might wanna specify what his work will entail, I'd be very happy to donate to the cause if he could get sense to work on the device... Pretty sure it won't/can't be done. I'll stay tuned in nonetheless.

have you been on the internet long? people are people. and you'll find people like that on any forum. i've seen people talking like that online since before the internet was mainstream. it's not only xda. there is no way to stop it. so just get used to it. but, i got your back on voicing your opinion as well. what xda needs is a dislike button. i've seen them on other sites. and after so many dislikes,your post gets hidden and members have to click "show" to see it.

People like you thinking it's ok to use these Roms for free without donating a dime is a FAIL!
These Devs work hard and long hrs. to make these roms for your phone to function and look better!
So a little donation wouldn't hurt for you to give!
Or better yet if you don't, don't bother commenting on it!
Don't look at it as paying for there phone, but rather an advance for work they are going to do for you!
Everyone has a favorite dev. Mine personally is TW.

Your idea is ingenious. I will take it up with a friend whose a mod here and see what he thinks. Not sure it will get too far but you never know.
That is a very good idea. Giving thumbs down to certain posters would warn other readers at this forum. It would also be useful against scammers who steal the Dev's work and pawn the mods as their own begging for donations. There was one on the Samsung Epic forum last year and on the Asus Transformer forum a few weeks ago.

G2x replacement with Gingerbread

Spoke to a rep about getting my G2x replaced yet again #4 as this thing is getting constant reboots *stuck to stock OS to see if it was true* he explained to me that the latest G2x's are updated with Gingerbread and the displays have been fixed and I did not even mention the display...
Tomorrow it will be here. Lets see if this guy did not pull it out of his ass and was being true.
Will keep this thread updated.
Tomorrow the update will be here? Yea. Sure. Honestly I don't have any issues with my phone but it would be nice to get an update.

I got my replacement last week and NO it didn't come with GB.
We'll get it when we get it!
Everyday a new one of these is started, it's getting old!
Mods should lock all these up, they are all a waste!
Sit there and wait for the update or sell your phone and go to the Sensation.

This is right, we honestly have no idea when this is coming. I check our internal information DAILY and nothing has been updated. It comes when it does, anyone who gives you a solid date is wrong as of this moment.
Well, if you do receive a G2x with the update, you can post the files for us then.

Exactly, why people think they need to post a useless message saying they doubt something, or "don't bother to write that" is amazing. It is utterly lame for people to complain that a thread exists, instead of just skipping it.
htc2364: The OP actually presented information, and stated he will enjoy seeing if it pans out. YOU on the other hand drool out meaningless babble as you think we may be interested in what you are "LMAO" about. Only a mother could think that kind your twitposting is adorable. Clean up your drool and recognize it for the barf it is.

I got to thinking last night and thought "isn't CM6 froyo based?" In a way it may be a step back version wise but a step forward for this device in another way. Just a thought I wanted to present to the folks here.

this is the development section, please ask questions in the general section. And the answer is no, if you would've searched for a few minutes you would've seen this question has been asked multiple times
It is froyo based but it will never happen, sduvick tried and could not even get it booting it's complicated.
hmmm... thats a bummer the $50 dollar bounty continues haha or perhaps I should save my money and get myself another device? oh decisions, decisions

I gave it to my sister because her blackberry broke but i still have access to it.
I like this idea and because of it being froyo wouldn't it be a viable option step back in time to move forward anyone with the ability to do this have the cajones to step up and do this for your fellow forum dweller(s)

Maybe we could find someone with the capabilities to reverse engineer the drivers and offer them a bounty, someone has gotta be able to do it for the right price

We'll see what you could do, I never try but kudos to you for trying. I have seen about 2 or 3 devs try this and they all failed and didn't even get it booting.

Polite Request

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.

What I need vs what I have for JTAG:
10$ / 60$
^ Donate button
Edit: Switched links. Found a cheaper one for 220~
This is the device that I am wanting to buy because it's the cheapest one on ebay, has free shipping, and available for buy it now. So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.
hi, it's nice to see someone giving our device some attention
btw, i have a side question: do you have kernel dev experience too?

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.
This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...
