http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-source-code-released
Just to begin I have absolutely no programming knowledge for android but I have tried almost every rom for the Hero and I really can't find one I like. I'm pissed at sprint for bailing on this phone but what else can we do right. I'm a big fan of what Zen is doing with the 2.2.1 Sense Rom from the Gratia but it was designed for a GSM phone, you are still the man Zen.
Saying that Sprint just released this new phone, LG Optimus S, about 3 days ago and it has almost the exact same specs as the Hero except for the camera. This is the first android 2.2 meant for a CDMA phone, with the hero specs, which means we could possibly get SprintVVM working in 2.2 (without the annoying texts). Whether this will help in some other rom development or someone would like to take a shot at porting this, I thought I would open this up for discussion. Please nobody attack me on this idea, I just figured I would put it out there. I don't know hard it is to port from brand to brand so if this is impossible just shut this thread down. I also checked everywhere and there is no sense based CDMA phone, with hero specs, that will be getting the 2.2 update....up yours HTC/Sprint/Verizon.
EDIT: Alright somebody got a hold of the code....see post 4 below. If any moderator want to make and attempt at it be my guest. I have no idea what im doing as far as compiling but i can do some testing. If somebody wants to port and create a rom please set up a new thread and delete this one. This was just to bring it to peoples attention.

different processor (arm11), camera, screen resolution, it would be much easier to port over 2.2 from the optimus s
We really only need a dump of the rom but chances are it will be as functional as the mytouch 3g port. meaning no gps and camera.
I like that launcher btw
May try my hand at it a little bit Friday after doing some webos stuff
epst?
Quick Question, don't want to sound like a noob, but if this were to be able to be ported, could EPST be accessed through it?

As I now I know absolutely nobody with the actual phone so I would have no idea on how to get a dump. I might talk to the moderators and see if they will open up a section to see if we can get some users here on XDA. Otherwise, thanks for any future development. I was hoping it could help somewhat in the development of sense 2.2.1.

This wouldn't be 2.2 sense.
It probably died because we now have Cyanogen and Aosp both getting us 2.2.1, though I think we had those at this original time too, so maybe I'm missing the point of this.
my dad got this phone the other day and its getting quadrant scores over 1000, and it runs nfs shift with no lag, so it would be pretty awesome to get this, and a little research showed me that the optimus s might be getting gb as an ota
What is the reason? I'm really curious about that.
We have one. Check here for a list of all roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525
The only ones I found were Froyo with Gingerbread themes...
There are some what of Gingerbread ROM's ported from the I9000, with CM7, Far from a daily ROM. As well it is sort of difficult to actually flash, crazy kernel crap.
There is a team working on bringing 2.3 to the galaxy s. I haven't heard anything in about a month but they still had some issues to work out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
CM7 for SGS
There were people working on porting gingerbread to the captivate but many of them are now involved in the project to bring CM7 to the i9000 and the captivate. The i9000 however seems to be the priority and it is not yet complete search for cmsgs on google to find out more
The problem is that we don't have the source to all of the proprietary Samsung bits, like hardware drivers, leaving some of the hardware either completely non-functional or malfunctioning. With the 2.2 roms, it's a lot easier because we have leaked 2.2 roms that were designed for our hardware, or the source code for other devices in the galaxy s line.
Though the Nexus S is similar to the Galaxy S line, there are a few hardware differences that make porting difficult. I've been following the CM7 twitter feed for the i9000 - it seems like they've figured most of the stuff out. The major hurdle was that the camera wasn't working, which it now is, and the remaining problems are all somewhat minor things - polling problem in the radio interface layer, wifi glitches.. Hopefully we'll see a proper build a lot sooner now that the camera has been sorted.

just falshed away from CM7 it is not all working
The main parts are working but many things still do not work for our cappys or the I9000 or the vibernt.
It is very useable if u dont use bluetooth, moible AP, Car docking, andmany other highly used featers.
It is fine for web surfing and Phone calls, and texting, and a few other minor things.
So for those of us that need the biger parts of the ROM to work it just isnt going to cut it.
I see there a few i9000 no CM7 2.3.2 roms also i have seen a vibernt 2.3.2 rom.
It comes down to no one has worked or completed work on 2.3.x to our cappys. besides the CM7 thats far from 100% ready for the masses.
I mean i can handle giveing up a few things but with a few custom 2.2 roms and a nice kernel i get benchmarks and many other scores just as high if not higher then CM7 2.3.3, and give up nothing.
So y flash and deal with a few reboots and force close prb i found with a few apps.
Btw yes i had the most current cm7 20110304.
i wish it worked a little better and i am sure it will it just takes time.
I figer this y work on that ROM when we have an i9000 2.3.2 rom unsure but i think it would be easier to port. then an non sammy rom.
But much many be learned there at CM7 helping in converting the sammy 2.3.2 to our cappys.
But i can say i am a bit unhappy that vibernt got the i9000 working on there ohones frist
Those are just my opions not tring to offend anyone.
I've been using CM7 with no problems
I've been using CM7 as a daily driver for a week now, with no issues. I love it actually! You can find clear instructions on how to install it here:

The WiFi issue was fixed today, so we migth get an updated release today.
The one issue that made come back to a Samsung ROM is the camera. The picture quality is mediocre at best, and it takes too long to start. Its really unfortunate because otherwise the rom works way better than any other rom. Seriously, I just noticed today his ****ing ****ty the browser is in stock ROMS.

Having to rewrite that majority of the code for the OS for the infuse might be a little bit of a time constraint.
/sarcasm
But really, there is no proper port out for the infuse and I think the devs are just waiting for a gingerbread ROM to leak out, whether it is from the Canadian Infuse or elsewhere

Simple. The Android userland license doesn't require manufacturers to release source code for the userland portion of the Android stack - the only thing that manufacturers must release source code for is the kernel.
So all device-specific userland code must be reimplemented to get AOSP running on a device.
In many cases, even if someone had device-specific Froyo userland source, a lot of changes were made from Froyo to Gingerbread that require device-specific stuff to be reimplemented. (Look at the state of xdandroid for example - Gingerbread is missing a LOT of stuff that works in Froyo.)
So what is stopping developers from a Gingerbread ROM for the Infuse?
1) Time
2) Time
3) Time
4) Probably lack of documentation on some of the device-specific stuff, fortunately the Infuse is very architecturally similar to the Galaxy S series.
5) Time
6) Lack of the right device in the right developer's hands - the Cyanogenmod guys are so experienced at device porting that between that despite 4), they could likely target the Infuse quickly if one of them had a device. None do yet, there are some threads where people are trying to line up hardware donations.
Please not that to my knowledge, there are ZERO AOSP-source-derived builds for the Infuse for any Android version. All ROM builds currently in existence are "tweaked" variants of the stock Android userland stuff.
Ah hah, I see now. I was assuming this Rom I am using on my inspire was not an official gingerbread Rom, now I know that it must be.
Given samsungs track record for updates. I'm nervous to switch to this phone because it may never receive gingerbread

I'm not saying it's impossible to port AOSP GB or the Cyanogenmod source tree to the Infuse, I'm just saying it hasn't happened yet. The Infuse has been out for a few months less than the Inspire, and it took some time for CM7 to become stable on the Inspire too.
In the case of the Inspire it apparently has. The Cyanogenmod team seems a bit HTC-focused, however that's because Samsung seems to be a slightly later player in the Android game. Samsung is clearly interested in catching up - they already donated a GSII to one of the Android devs.
My guess is that the Infuse is similar enough to the GS i9000 that once the right dev gets their hands on one it won't be long. After all, we're using the CWM from the i9000.
The thing to keep in mind, the most important thing actually, is that all of these things take time AND the efforts of a team of people to accomplish. Every well-known/famous/appreciated dev I've ever spoken too about this very topic all says the same thing - they can't do these things alone OR they can do it alone but it'll take forever to get done.
Hence my donation thread
this is my 6th android phone, and I can say it's the only one I'm not in a huge hurry to put a custom ROM on
I loaded ADW EX on it, and the phone's fast enough to run it buttery smooth with no lag. I also absolutely hate Cyanogenmod's camera software, and really enjoy the native camera software on Samsung devices.
I was considering the Evo 3D instead of keeping the Infuse (still in 30 days) but I'm not sure I could move back to an HTC screen. I hated the screen on my mytouch 4g (went there from the Vibrant). Samsung also flat out makes far better camera hardware and software on their phones.
I don't see any reason to get a different phone right now
A fun question. How many of us Sidekick 4G owners bought them to replace our rusty, err, trusty G1s? I get the feeling a lot of us made such a migration.
I held onto my G1 until last month, since I could find no other Android phone on the UMTS 1700 band with a keyboard so good. I just couldn't bear the thought of using a touch screen all day. When I saw the Sidekick's I knew I had to have one. And while I do miss that old workhorse, I've also enjoyed my time with the Sidekick. It's nice to finally have a current phone for once in my life!
I ended up selling that G1, cracked screen housing and all, to a friend for $50. Not only is it his first Android device, but also his first smart phone. With the addition of a new battery and a fresh ROM it should have another year or even two of life in it.
I had the G1 until I finally had an upgrade. Still have my trusty G1 just in case something magically goes wrong.
Didnt come straight from the g1 but had it when it first came out. I thought it was one of the cheapest built smartphones ive had but instead ended up being one of the toughest and survived many drops. i miss the g1's design. Im one of the few that thought it looked nice.

I'm seriously thinking about buying this phone... I miss my G1's kb, I've been putzing along with the og Droid for a couple years (I was living in the states). Now that I'm back in Canada, I need a replacement. I'm not thrilled with the lack of decent camera, but that sweet sweet keyboard looks oh so nice. I do a lot of remote server admin and so the keyboard is a big deal for me.
Are the ROMs any good? I don't need the fancy crap it looks like they've piled on top, just a standard type Android UI would be nice for me.
Failing this I'd probably get the Milestone/Droid 3, but it's been getting kinda meh reviews.
The ROMs aren't bad, we're still improving each release, but they're much better than stock. Not sure exactly what you like in a ROM, but as far as Froyo Touchwiz goes, these are pretty solid. If you do happen to get this phone and find that the ROM selection isn't what you are looking for, PM me and we'll see what we can do to get a ROM made that fits your desires.

Thanks, that's very generous of you! Really all I want is to use the phone as a palmtop computer... browser, email, SSH, etc. I don't care much about eye candy or special effects, speed and efficiency are my main concerns. Not so much concerned with it as a social media platform either as an IT consultant's accessory Oh, and Google Navigation!
To give you an idea, here's my apps:
ConnectBot
AndroidVNC
ES File Explorer
Files Anywhere
K-9 Mail
PdaNet
QR Droid
Wifi Analyzer
SipDroid
Skype
Remote Web Desktop
Square
SwiftKeyX
etc
Didn't come directly from a g1 but I bought the g1 the first day it came out, had it until cyanogen stopped supporting it, and then tried out several different phones and none of them satisfied me. I could never get used to an all touchscreen device and most keyboards were very lacking. The sidekick has the best keyboard I have ever used, I like it better than the g1's. I still keep my g1 and use it for a bluetooth keyboard on my ipad/ps3 since blueputdroid doesn't support samsung's bluetooth drivers for some reason.
Sounds just like me! I work in IT as well and use most of those apps as well, and as far as i've found, there's no issues with them, and the keyboard is an IT person's best friend.
I'm getting the Sidekick in a couple days. Coming from the Mytouch 1.2 I have a couple roms I developed in the G1 section. I was wondering if and why there is no Gingerbread for Sidekick? Just curious. Also does anyone know if CM will support it? Thanks. I'm new to the Sidekick.

There's no gingerbread for it because there's no gingerbread source. CM probably won't officially support it, as CM doesn't officially support anything Samsung other than the Galaxy S. When we get the GB source, someone (probably me) will at least try porting an unofficial CM7, but until we get the source, there's no efficient way to port it.

Odin flashes firmware like fastboot does for HTC phones (kind of).
Odin is used to restore to stock from any state other than a hard brick. It just restores system images to the partitions.
Voodoo is the set of tweaks commonly used to implement the Lagfix, aka EXT4 partitions. Voodoo ClockworkMod recovery is Red, and is implemented in the Bali kernel.
I would be open to working with you on it, as I am for most people on most projects, let me know if you ever wanna work on anything together.

I may be off the mark but as far as I'm concerned, NVidia's the one who screwed us all by not releasing their source. In the absence of that development can only go so far. This will be my last NVidia device of any kind if I can help it -- for phones/tablets, I'm going with TI or Qualcomm and for laptops, I'm going with ... well, whatever I can get away with

Yeah Nvidia can suck it. ATI and for Computers and TI/Samsung/Qualcomm for mobile.
Nvidia has never been that open with their products. And likely never will.
I'm not worried about it. Its a pretty bad ass phone, once you get it working right. Trigger and Roman aren't necessarily gone...he's just working on other phones too. Plus, I'm sure new devs are getting some G2Xs every day. Somebody will step in to fill all the voids. Whitehawkx is around, Fits is busy, faux, and obviously the CM team...our world isn't so bleak. Hell, man...get the dev tools and make us something.

Whose MUIU are you using? The one here or the one over on the other site?
I'm using Jface's 8.19 rom since it was released a few weeks ago and aside from the lack of WiFi Calling and WiFi Tether, it is running like a dream. Battery is good and the phone is snappy. I was getting FC's with Rom Manager Premium but RM updated and now its good.
But really, CM and MIUI are pretty much the icing on the cake. Both are updated regularly by their respective teams.
It is also funny that this thread is right above "Nightlies are like crack". There are plenty of stuff to flash and try but right now, most roms are "as good as they can get "hardware-wise" aside from little tweaks and bug fixes all of them are working fairly well.
I need WiFi calling so that version isn't a viable option for me. There are still some little bugs with the version on the other site (having problem installing and applying themes). Once the bugs are worked out it would be a viable alternative to CM7. I still use Weapons as my daily ROM, and CM7 when I want Netflix. If CM7 or MIUI found a way to get HBO Go working and allowed HDMI output control I would probably start using them on a daily basis.

Agreed on stability. Still a few things I would like to see...Netflix and Hulu on stock ROMs, better camera, and perfect video chat to name a few.

With minimal support from LG and Nvidia devs can only do so much. Most rooms have already become about as good as it's possible to be within their constraints.

Ya I just got this phone. This is the 13th android I ever had and definitely near the bottom for development. Not much variety and seems to be going downhill

You can't get much variety because this phone is based off Stock android. Can't really blame the devs if LG couldn't produce a respectable upgrade.
All the ROMs are based of CM7, AOSP, or Stock 2.3.3
If you seen one you seen them all. Can't have SENSE on this device. That would create more flavor of ROMs.
But the biggest deterrent is LG and NVIDIA. No support, you can only get so far. Lesson learned. Don't buy a device that has no love/support from manufacturer.
lately i've been upgrading less and less. i think once the phone gets to a stable environment (which is almost has) there really is less and less reason for development since it is stable.
There was someone that was looking into porting motoblur and optimus 2x but he seems to have gone AWOL
