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.

[Q] what happened to MIUI ???

i know RaverX3X has worked a lot on this rom, but since his thread was closed, i did not know if he was still working on it, he updated his other roms but i havent heard a thing from this one, i would like to know if he gave up trying.

search function

that doesnt help

Just be patient, if he's still working on it, he'll probably inform us about it, if not, just keep waiting or accept the fact. I personally think he's still working on it during his free time, but he does have a quite a few roms out at the moment.

He is still working on it. He closed the thread because of the trolls. He is in school and working full time so he doesn't have much of the luxury we call free time.lol... Just be patient. Between krylon360, raverx3x and bhundven, as well as drhonk, we should be seeing something very soon.

And we have new devs brewing up stuff and old devs returning.
But as I said before, there will be a lull here because of holidays. I'm sure a lot of stuff will start to pick back up after the new year.

[Q] [INTEREST] Okay... it's Bounty/Reward Time for ICS

I jumped from the Vibrant to the Infuse, and I've noticed development here is a little on the anemic side. I've seen a few people discuss starting a bounty/reward for an Ice Cream Sandwich port and wanted to see if anyone else was down or interested.
If it's just me then I'll be quiet and mods can delete this thread.
Update: Please try to make reference to +1 or "Yes I'd contribute to an ICS Port" if you want this to happen. Finding developers is easy enough if we have the numbers and support from the community.

I will be content with an official GB at this point. ICS would be a great bonus but only if HDMI and Bluetooth work.

We did like a fundraiser to get devs phones. One didn't work with kernels, one did a **** ton of work but got bored with it, one posted sources on git hub but never showed up on the forum and one posted work that he did without a phone till he actually one and vanished.
If we put up,money the bounty is the way to go because we can put it up expecting only one piece of work and they can,get the money when it is complete.
I would like to see if someone can pm netarchy and razor950 and see if they still have the donated infuses, if they are interested, and if not, would they pass the phone along to someone who is.

I hate to break it to you but, ICS has been whored out to every phone BUT ours...it'd be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway

Just pissed myself laughing at what you wrote. I sent one PM -- if anyone has any contact information start throwing it up or recommendations of people to contact.

I am working on building an ICS AOSP rom. It is slow going though as I've had other life issues going on. I bought a nexus 4g and just got ICS AOSP built and running on it yesterday as a first step just to help me with learning how everything fits together.
I'm just doing this for fun to learn how Android works, so I don't really expect fast progress. I do own two Infuses so I'm covered there. I do have to admit the possibility of a bounty would encourage me to move faster

I'll be spending a lot more time over the next few days working on ICS. I've got a kernel in the works, hopefully I can finish it in the next day or two and test it out.

That's good to hear fellas. Take your time, we Infuse owners know how to wait for something. (i.e. Official Gingerbread) Lol

If you need help ajerman ill be on irc later...been busy lately

To netarchy's credit - he did talk on IRC with us, and saved me a TON of time in terms of Daily Driver development. He has never had a big forum presence - just look at the Ninphetamine thread, he was a major contributor to that kernel but only posted on the thread 11 times over its 2,900+ post life. Hacre (aka Ninpo) always did the release engineering portion of the work.
He got sick after QuakeCon which put him behind, and then real life stuff came up. It was disappointing, but at least we got some pretty good stuff out of his donated device even if it is not obvious to most users.
I'm going to try and shoot him a message (I don't think he checks XDA PMs any more, but I have other ways of getting in touch with him) to see if he is willing to give the device to a Cappy or Nexus kernel dev who wants to upgrade. (I would prefer if the device goes to someone with more time than I have to focus on it.)
razor950's device donation was unfortunate - he has a long history of saying "I'm helping you guys but don't have a device!" and then disappearing immediately after he receives it without a word. You have, IMO, no hope whatsoever of getting anything from him.

To all who develop for this community - Thank you.

I write this because I can't sleep.
No really because I feel anyone who feels the same should say so:
I am so very appreciative to all who dev for this phone. What you've done for this device is much more then bring us custom ROMs but you help anyone of us with problems we have regardless of the ROM we are running. Your awesome for staying and not quitting after 1 or 2 good ROMs ("tbalden") and you do it not for money but for us as a community.
For that I thank each of you, and can't express how greatful I am that we have so many new directions here recently.
Here is to you!!!! :beer:
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

Yes, i second this! Thanks to all who have developed for this device, no matter how much or how little! Even if you have been rude, and condescending (you know who I mean), I am thankful for you all! I am very excited to see what you guys come up with next, and I will be donating as soon as I no longer have to choose between electricity and food!

:bump: DEVS RULE!!!!

im share the same feeling. i visit xda forum daily. just love how other people spend their time trying to help other people and just trying to make the mt4gs better!

I couldn't agree more. I have a disability, and DEPEND on my phone. T-Mobile support? Less than useful with all the problems I've run into. Thanks to the developers here, I am now able to customize my phone in the ways I need to manage my health.
Custom roms are great, but my health has improved because of the work people have put into this community. I don't think that's something people typically consider, and I'm not the only person who has benefitted in this way.
I am genuinely grateful. Thank you.

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:

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...
