ALPHA Mesmerize AOSP ROM Discussion w/Pics

Last night was an interesting night for me. With the help of jt1134, of course, I was able to get a semi-working build of AOSP to load and boot up on the Mesmerize. For those of you who have not seen this, it is pretty neat stuff. This means NO TOUCHWIZ on the phone at all. Pure google goodness! What this also means right now, is a lot of work for the people involved. These guys have been really going at it lately and it is slowly paying off.
I'd like to pay credit to these guys for their work so far and all their work in the future, as I'm hope they won't be stopping any time soon.

Captainkrtek
and anyone else out there that has worked on this project that I don't know about.
Last night I got to do a very small part in helping out and I was glad to be able to be a part of this.
This required a modified kernel to be able to load and boot. Although I have built several kernels using jt's github source, this is the first time I have had to modify content and it gave me insight into some of what is going on in the kernel. It's definitely more than I had ever thought before.
Here are some screen shots that I took while running the ROM.

Info w/modified kernel & build number
I will not be releasing this build, as I do not feel comfortable with it's stability just yet. I also want to get jt's approval before letting it out into the wild since I am following his lead on all of this. This was done more for discussion purposes to see what you guys think and to let you know that work is being done to give you more options than just ROMs made from stock.

Well this is sufficiently awesome
Looks like a good start. Thanks.

When you say Pure Google Goodness are we talking Froyo ? or better.. Gingerbread?
And if you need a tester I would be more than happy to help out.

I know you are all super excited about the updates, but if you look at the build number in the picture, it says 2.1-update1 ECLAIR.
jt has been working on this for 3 months. I just got the Mes to load up last night. Let's see how things go and maybe we'll start an Alpha ROM thread in the development section.

Yeah, there's a pretty good list of wallpapers in it. These guys are really putting some work in to making a top notch product. If we can get a few more kinks out of the Mesmerize version, I'll release an Alpha.

Looks like it's on the side burner for now. The good news is, the reason that it's been put on the side burner is that it seems possible that a 2.3 AOSP build may fix some of the problems that are happening in the 2.2 build. I don't have many of the details, but they've got the first steps working. As soon as there is a build that I can start to work with, I will post pics.

I would like this sooo bad. It would be awesome

Sounds like good news to me.

Looking really nice, cant wait to see what comes of this!! just want something other than 2.1 errrrrr

New Inspire owner here

I'm not to the sight but I'm not to the Inspire and so far I like it. I haven't messed with it to much but so far so good. I was with Tmobile and had the G2x and I have to say so far I loved that phone. I left Tmobile because there coverage sucks where I live at so I switched to AT&T to the Atrix and that phone was ok. Well my dumb azz dropped in water, so I used my G2x since I had it unlocked until I found someone to trade my G2x for the Inspire.

The only "help" I will offer is go the the inspire development section and see the hack kit thread. That is what you use to root. From there, as long as your read everything, you should be fine.

Exactly man! Believe me when I say it I was a huge noob when it came to this phone (i.e. see my noob debacle in flashing radios in the thread I created when I first became a member) since then and by applying a reading level above the 4th grade, I've been able to educate myself and eliminating the need for pointless threads that have been created and locked and created and locked and created and locked over and over and over again, you kinda see how that gets annoying from time to time

And while researching, it's entertaining see an occasional noob get torn a new one.
What does "root" mean, anyway?

Here in the inspire forums we like to do things ourselves. We also eat babies, beat our wives and not pick our children up from school. Now excuse me I'm going to go and cyberbully someone in another thread since they asked the same question.
Welcome to the inspire forums.

White Galaxy S 4G

So, I had a spare galaxy s 4g laying around ( I have sprint ), and decided that I wanted to paint something. Only had white and black.
Painting this phone white made it look like a brand new phone. So if you're bored and have even the slightest spray painting knowledge, I would say go for it. I wish I could use this phone, looks very sexy.
White back, white bezel, black buttons ( volume, power ) and black headphone and charger covers.

I would sell it in a heart beat, although I messed up the imei when I started to mess around with my unbrickable abillities..
The phone has the unbrickable mod applied, and I am currently using it as an mp3 player to accompany my sgsII haha. If anyone wanted to buy it for spare parts or for a dev phone, I'm all up for it.

Yeah, I noticed devs release more ROMs when they don't have the phone (who said Raver..) probably more free time on their hands.
LOL..
I'm willing to help Ericmm buy this phone so that we'll have a fully functional MIUI I can Hebrewize. Erik, Let me know if I can open a donation thread for this cause.
Regarding the paint, looks pretty awesome, do you think it will last long before you get white hands?

I don't think a donation thread will be necessary, I would love to help you guys get more devs. I have no use for this phone, and like I said I broke the imei ( I have some of it backed up, I can give you the files if you end up buying it. I havent messed with them much ). If you ended up getting the imei to work again, the phone is already unlocked.
I'd be willing to let this phone go for cheap. Perfect dev phone. Unbrickable, no broken screen. I have no idea what you guys would say this phone would be worth, just let me know something fair I guess. I'm all about helping out other devs.
And about the white hands, its actually pretty solid, I was planning on applying some kind of clear coat to give it that slippery plasticy feeling haha the spray paint job on the bezel isnt the best, I was planning on re-doing it, making it a little more consistent. Although it is much better than the cheap metallic looking bezel.

I'll step back and let Erikmm have first dibs on this phone as he is a long time developer and could fiddle with this more than I can. Ive been around a long time but dont post too often. But if Erikmm or another developer doesnt grab it, let me know swamp. I just need the phone and battery and the imei being messed up doesnt matter to me. But again, I fully understand devs are what make xda what it is and gladly step aside. Thanks!

Galaxy nexus? I played with one a few days ago at best buy, I say go for it if you can afford it, awesome phone. Google is selling the gsm version for 399 off contract right now, I dont know if its a special deal or what, but its pretty good. I plan on selling some of my phones/technology to afford a gnex for sprint.
Anyone see that processor in the pic in the OP? It's a pentium 4, I'll let it go for 5 dollars haha jk jk

I have to agree with him. I have nothing against the team but, its been 3 months since we got the last update. And and that feeling of being excited is just fading. I sure hope we get a new update. Not ASAP, but surely soon. n_n

ok so everything is solved and your MONEY SCAM is also sorted out so now lets talk about UNIMPORTANT AND USELESS THINGS called UPDATE.......or wait should we enjoys other IMPORTANT discussions about SCAMS and burnt out mother board or maybe update which was to come last weekend??????
And yeah another thing what about the money donated by us which was spent by maclaw on his computer games,his parents,his gf,his bf,his dog or whoever......how are we going to get it back?????DONATIONS ALL THE WAY NO UPDATE AND YOU GUYS STILL HAVE GUTS TO SHOW DONATE BUTTON ON YOUR WEBSITE......we just wanted ics on our phone but in the end all of this got limited to a money scam and no development........i feel sorry for none other than myself for having a dream of good rom on my device which was broken by you all money thirsty people.......i will never ever believe in anything like this in my life again...thank you for all this..........

I can certainly understand why many of you are upset, but lets calm down, take a deep breath, and wait and see if new releases happen. We don't need page after page of rants that in the end accomplish nothing.

The Official Galaxy R Off-Topic Thread

Hi Guys,
I figured we need to have a place where we can talk about regular, everyday stuff amongst ourselves, without having to venture all the way across to Off-Topic. So, this is my little present to you; feel free to discuss anything and everything (within the XDA rules, of course) :good:
Things which will get this thread locked:
- Discussion of warez (illegal software such as paid .apks, cracked .apks, illegal serials etc.)
- Discussion of sales (if you'd like to sell your phone, please list in the XDA Marketplace)
- Profanity, racism or any other inflammatory/trolling behaviour.
Keep it clean and civil, and enjoy yourselves!
Justin

Thanks Justin for this thread.
Just a qwik story of my luck with os upgrades and my journey to Galaxy R. Its last year i decided to buy a smartphone and my first was Wave 2 (Bada OS). I liked it very much and the only limitation is lack of apps. It was in bada 1.2. I waited so so long for bada 2.0 but it didnt came. Its time when we got leaked version of some other country. I flashed and its awesome. Just 3 days later, some one stolen my mobile (infact snatched). Then after another 2 months i got this SGR. During those time with Wave 2, i used to think only for bada i have to wait so long for an upgrade to 2.0 where as in Android, upgrades will happen more frequently. And here now im counting my days for ICS. Whereever i go, my bad i have to wait for the upgrade :laugh:

I liked it very much and the only limitation is lack of apps. It was in bada 1.2. I waited so so long for bada 2.0 but it didnt came. Its time when we got leaked version of some other country. I flashed and its awesome. Just 3 days later, some one stolen my mobile (infact snatched). Then after another 2 months i got this SGR. During those time with Wave 2, i used to think only for bada i have to wait so long for an upgrade to 2.0 where as in Android, upgrades will happen more frequently. And here now im counting my days for ICS. Whereever i go, my bad i have to wait for the upgrade :laugh:

Thanks for the opening post and a good story my friend, although I am sorry for your loss! I had a Wave (1) at release, and enjoyed Bada a lot at the time. Unfortunately I now rely far too much on Google services every day, and so have to stick with Android. Not that I mind of course, it has been a lot of fun watching Android start off as a promising yet lacking alternative to Windows Mobile, and go on to become the juggernaut it is today.
I make a habit out of 'collecting' all the devices I moderate on XDA. I am very much looking forward to sourcing myself a Galaxy R. I have always been fond of the design :good:

Yes. Ofcourse the dependency on Google services makes Android more vulnerable. Its great that u wanna add Galaxy R to your collection list, But with the Production being stopped for SGR, you may find it bit tough though to get one.

I decided to buy a Samsung Galaxy R I could take s2, so far I have no problems, but my country has no official samsung service and unfortunately if I had a problem with the phone I think it will be a problem because production was stoped, and no one here does not know that there is Samsung Galaxy R :/ But I'm glad to have this phone and to share experiences with people on xda, few of us, but we are very united and organized

Nice to have thread for Off-Topic's thank yo Justin , we are happy to have you on board welcome to Galaxy R family...
Still Galaxy R is available in Market, you can get it from here they will ship it from Hongkong ...

my journey to the android world and the smartphone world started on 19 jan... when i bought my 1st smartphone which is Glaxy R... i am glad to have this phone and to great extent satisfied with its performance..... only black mark with this phone i think is very poor promotions by the samsung team, due which it is not famous consequently having poor development compared to other....... but this does not bother me a much because i m very delighted to be a member of small but great group of XDA Galaxy R.......through which i am able to know a lot about everything related to a smartphone....
GLAD TO BE HERE AND HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH GEAT DEV's FOR GALAXY R

this is my story
my dad gave me 1Lakh INR, and i got a new Apache RTR 180 and in the remaining money i got my SGR, in January
although i am not a heavy mobile user, i like my phone very much no matter what people say about this, n TBF, i really dont care about ICS
my bro has Galaxy Note, sis has Galaxy S2, i have SGR n Nokia N8
i am thinking to sell my SGR n get Note 2, once ICS will be released for SGR, so that phone value goes high
Cheers !

I am very much looking forward to the Note 2 also

Its good to have an off-topic thread..
Well previously i was using Nokia e-71. i had previously never used touch phone..
while buying SGR, i had pretty 5-6 options..
I-phone 4s, SGS2, SGR, Moto Atrix, Nexus..
Ruled out 4s coz sim unlock wasnt out..
Ruled out S2 coz of price, Moto Atrix coz of brand..
I preferred SGR nly coz of Nvidea..and this Nvidea is really f***ing us...
but the experience is good, really njoing the phone..
i just bought an accessory OTG cable and is working nice..

Yeah, I think the announcement is due late August, I'm looking forward to seeing the design. Samsung getting better at keeping their designs hidden until release.
Tell me, do you guys have the notorious 'eMMC' issue that plagues the Note/S2 where it can hard brick if you wipe data/factory reset from CWM?

No until know we don't have these kind of issues , But we are afraid it may happen with ICS update which is scheduled by end of this month .

Of course, my apologies I would hope the command was removed by the time official ICS hits for the R. It can be removed from re-packed ODIN firmwares, so I'm sure one of our talented Devs will be able to cook up a 'safe' one :good:
