Willing to do beta testing - Captivate General

I just got a new phone (LG Thrill) still have my captivate and I just wanted to throw this out to any devs or others that want to try anything crazy. I am not a dev but I am adept at anything on a Captivate. I really don't care if my phone makes a pretty paperweight now!

SMH!

Nice offer, but this doesn't belong in Development.

Still no Samsung Infuse 4g thread??

2 days before release and there's STILL no thread?? Hell, even the Droid Charge has one. come on XDA!
bump bump bump
I'll bump this as we are still having the same issue with the T-Mobile G-Slate... Good luck. We have put in so many requests and they say they put you on a "Request List". Our device has been out since April 20th and announced well before that, yet we are in the same boat. I hope all works out well for the Infuse 4G getting a forum.
Bump,bump, bump it up we need some forums please

why do they need a request list? Probably faster to just add the forum then add the name to a list. Im sure theyll say they have to appoint a mod to it but I don't really care about that, do you?

This phone is a pretty sweet phone, the GPS works great and so does the email. other than that it reminds me of the captivate.

I agree, if it came down to it...you would think they would appoint a member with a good rep to moderate. It can't hurt anything, and if it does then find another mod. The request list is just another way of saying we don't want to give you a forum IMO. Lately there have been to many problems with them not adding forums which I'm sure will lure a lot of members away from the site. It's all good for them to add forums for non-existing devices though....
Im liking my infuse forums please....

It's got to be the timing. Just too many android devices catching the eye if devs. I would just wait a little. But I'm thinking nobody wants to invest energy in another variant. Sad but probably true (at&t know it sheep haven't a clue ... most people probably don't even know what LTE is)
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
You are right about the amount of devices coming out so quickly but in my opinion they should all be part of the community. Maybe XDA is trying to save bandwidth. I hope to see sections for some of these overlooked devices soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Bumping for an Infuse thread. Just sold my Captivate for this device.
Bump it up again , Set one up guys or I'll be tempted to make a forum website myself... Too impatient to get things rolling.... Dual booting droid and windows etc etc
this amoled screen is effing HUGE
I just read on the XDA twitter today that there is an Infuse forum.....
And if you look, there is... right with all the other Samsung devices.

Nothing, he's leaving XDA but he will be on the BAMF forums from what I've read.

I said this in the Inc forums, I don't know what's making him leave here to go to some dinky forum.
It's the new cool kid hang out, duh
Maybe he, like others, has grown tired of the attitudes here. Xda is not the end all be all of forums, nor is it the entire android community. Perhaps he felt it was more conductive to the development of his roms to move to a forum where they do not allow things to be named after drugs and heinous crimes while banning people over mentioning god.

I find it so ironic when ppl talked smack about one dev "taking his toys (roms) & leaving the playground" and then another dev left xda with a device that was obtained with the help of xda donations. Sure, once you buy something you can do what you want with it, but that is quite literally "taking your toys & leaving the playground". I would have been so pissed if I had contributed to that.

Just cause they left xda does not mean they stopped their work, is it oh so difficult to subscribe to their private forum? Or does it have to do with the fact most of the people here feel they are entitled to have it the way they want it or not at all, our are you just that lazy? Dam 1500 people havd followed them already, just like chingy had every right to do what he did, just because you want it your way doesn't mean you are gonna get it.

As I said, once you buy something it's yours to do what you want with. Yes, you can find the dev elsewhere, and one can only assume he will continue developing for a device that was at least partially funded with donation money. But it's the principle of it all. Donations to devs *after* a software project has been released is one thing. Donations to a dev with the stated purpose of obtaining a device -- and the implied expectation of developing for the donating user base -- is quite a different matter. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it this way, but if I had donated to help buy a phone for someone & they left that forum, I would feel used & abandoned, and proly a little resentful.
Just sayin'

This is a bit ridiculous. Where in the bounty thread did it say all ROMs/mods you develop for the Thunderbolt are to be exclusively released on XDA?
He is still working and if you are running a sense ROM right now then you are probably using at least one of his mods right now.
Just wait a bit and see what he has in store, and chill out about where the files will be released.

Generally when you advertise on a website for donations, you give that website the benefit of the doubt with your release/loyalty.
But no, just ask for donations through a proxy then leave the site.

[Q] I wish we had CM7..

I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys
Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.
Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.
Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.
Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.
Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.
So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?
I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people
Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

I loved my mytouch 4g. Was an awesome phone with TONs of options.
Shattered it... had to use a SGS4G... what a POS compared to the MT4G.
Moved on to a N1 and now enjoying some ICS and CM. Basically use the SGS4G as a nanny can / mini webserver.

OK I'm curious, your always bashing the sgs4g, why? Did it rob you or something!? You seem to have a major issue with it and I really don't see why. Because honestly its a damn good phone. Not having the most dev support doesn't change that, mine was an excellent android device completely stock.

Technically, the kernel should work fine. Its the device tree that needs love.
Know what I'm talking about? Check out DRockstar's cm7 bml kernel thread for sources in the epic 4g forum. They have cm7 running on ext4.
I'm no android expert, just kick ass with the kernel... But slowly I'm picking up on stuff.
Check out the other repositories on my github page and pm me if you know how to help.

If it were easy to do, then it would have been done. Ajerman had something going, but that may be done idk. Btw, look on the other forum titled ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THIS! Its just a little below, please look in forums and titles before making a whole new one. If its months old (and has not been used) its fine, but a day apart is terrible. Please, learn some things about xda. Not trying to be harsh, but see at least what other people do, and use them to your advantage.
It's funny how someone like him has all XDA capabilities unlocked including posting in the developer section and someone like me who searches hours on end for an answer to my question, however, can not.
Maybe if you guys would title the other thread specifically then I would have noticed it. Secondly I did ask nicely, since when is saying please a bad thing. The problem with the development for the infuse is exactly what you are doing to me. You are bashing me rather than actually helping me. Development for ics is not progressing because all you guys do is bash people rather than actually work hard at developing a working ics rom. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but you should all work on a way to start working together to find a way to developing great working roms. You can find examples over at the vibrant and captivate forum. Just look at how far those forums have gotten. Please no bashing, I'm just a little mad that you guys decided to just start bashing when I had done nothing to offend anyone in this forum. Thank you, lastly I worked hard to have all the privileges that are given to me.

You might of said please but the way you asked was very plain like it wouldn't be that big of a deal for someone to port it. Watch your wording from now on if you need something. It's people like you that push the devs away not the people like us the support the devs and appreciate what they have already released for us. If you want it ported do it yourself and if you don't know how read and learn how.

Not up to you to decide if you were banned unfairly. That's for the moderators to handle. You could have acted respectful and took it up with them. Instead you've been a **** and repeatedly forced your way back on. As a result I don't trust your work. If you're willing to act like a spoiled brat and disregard any rules that don't suit you, how do I know you haven't done something like installed a back door in your ROM? Maybe you haven't. But perhaps you can see why acting badly can damage your reputation?
I don't care what one member thinks. I do what benefits me and the community. Don't trust my work, everyone else will remain ahead. A Backdoor on an Android device? Considering the ROMs kernel was developed by nxd you're saying you don't trust him. Regardless, any back doors are easily found by
scanning the .zip and I'm very secure and have not had one alert. Here's a hint, only post in threads where your opinion is valued, because in this thread it is not.

Shut up u dumbass u are the one that sounds disrepecful right now. And you don't trust his **** well I have been running his rom and it is the most stable one I have found. Maybe he did brake some rules and got banned but the way I see it the mods don't really care about the sk4g and how the forum is dieing. So yeah he might have broke some rouls and **** but it was to help us and keep the sk4g alive when everyone eals baled. Some times rouls need to be broken. The needs of the meany outweigh the wants of the few.
