Hi all, coming from a captivate glide with almost no dev support I wonder, does this phone has good development support? I hate stock roms
thanks!
I'm actually wondering the same thing. This seems like a good phone, both better and more recent than the Captivate Glide.
The CM nightlies (see the dev thread) are working quite well for me now (Build #246)

What's the difference??

CM9 is built off of ICS.
So they the same thing?

ics is android 4.0 released by google.
cm9 is cyanogen 4.0 that was rebuild.

No. ICS is Googles Android OS. CM9 is a modded version of it.
ics simply refers to android version 4.0. Cm9 is based off of android 4.0 aosp but has many added features and tweaks.
Just like cm7 is based off of android 2.3 (gingerbread) aosp.

I think his question is really what is the difference between the two. Which right now I don't think there is much. I think it's just about porting and getting everything working. Maybe there is some small optimizations done but nothing heavy. I think cyanogenmod is working on adding features as we speak and will most likely release a big beta with all of them implemented vs small amounts being added over time

Well for the g2x there isn't much difference because both builds are still broken lol. I know on my galaxy nexus there is a big difference in cm9 and ics feature wise.

Probably the coolest one in the works is the ability to root and unroot your phone via settings. The new music app is nice too. There's a lot being added every week. Its not complete or even close to being but it is looking awesome.

So I suppose this might be getting a little off topic but what is the point being able to root/unroot via settings?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I'll prob use the OTA debloated/tweaked ICS build that is going to be developed regardless

I run passion ics on my vibrant. Ics has alot of cool features. Cant wait til g2x gets it. Only reason i dont run my vibrant daily is i only get 5 hours on the dang thing. But ics is definately a better system with all the tweaks it has.

Anybody know how CM9 development is going so far for the G2x?

Hopefully this will help development for our phone in a 4.1 sense.
Same here. I would love to see a JB port for the Blaze.
It'll be easier to get a port once we have ICS. If Samsung releases it anytime this century... I am still confused for why Cyanogen Mod doesn't support our phone but still supports single core phones lol

I'm confused by lack of CM support for the blaze. They still support the cliqxt but lack of support might be because none of their members has the device

That's what I'm thinking. It's more about popularity than actually good hardware. Funny thing is that if CM10 or at least CM9 were available more people would buy this phone. A bunch of people jumped ship and returned this device after looking at the 'slow' development. As of now it's picking up and hope it gets even better. Coming from a G2x, which was a huge waste of potential hardware, I hope this device doesn't meet the same fate. The only reason I didn't buy the Galaxy Nexus was because of its weird hardware (bad camera, random reboots, etc.) Lol

We might not get official cm support but I know ill work on cm9 even more when ics source drops !

Be patient. As soon as Samsung releases ICS kernel open source for Galaxy S Blaze 4G, we will have more custom ROMs such as CM9 and CM10.
After hearing about the Nexus S getting JB I've been wondering if any other older phones will be getting official JB or prospects are looking good for a stable thrid-party port. I can't afford a SGSII or even a Galaxy Nexus right now...
Samsung captivate has job port pretty stable I believe. Just look around there's a lot of good phones out with great devs
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Youre right I should look around, gonna go through the JB port announcements on the main XDA site. The Captivate will certainly be an option to consider along the Nexus S.
EDIT:Seems Motorola Defy has a rather advanced port.
you can get the moto defy also, has a pretty decent CM10 and it can be got for cheap also
HTC Desire HD seems to have a advanced JB port.
The HD2 has a fairly good port, with everything but YouTube working. I don't think HWA is working either but I haven't really checked much, I'm still using CM9 until something better is released.
Captivate is very inexpensive and the Remic port of JB is working great
Edit: Nevermind, wrong forum. Too many open tabs. I know, very noob...

HTC Dinc2 has two promising threads of JB CM10 (N7 & Aeroevan's). Just flashed the latter last night and it's pretty good so far. There are some bugs, but they have a lot of active development on them.

Get the Captivate only if you don't need or care about gps. I had one, and gps never worked properly. But it was a decent phone otherwise.
My captivate had great gps but I did see a lot of crappy GPS cappys

Google takes care of Nexus devices itself and that's what makes these devices great. No wonder Nexus S received JB update.
The vibrant has good ports.

Do you think that JB can be used with "only" 512 MB of RAM ?

Sure...my nexus s runs JB like a dream!
And would be my first choice if i was looking for a cheap phone wich provides the full aosp experience.

lol don't get phones with unofficial ports. Get ones that have a port made using official drivers.
Jelly Bean looks great
The galaxy s family has a good ICS and JB ports.

Samsung vibrant almost instantly gets roms ported from the Nexus S, loved having that phone for that purpose. I still have it but retired it upon upgrading to hercules
i think the development of JB for DHD is quite good in progress...
Hi all !
I'm just thinking to bought a Nexus S and i want some feedback about smoothness, Jelly Bean compatibility & stability, etc...
Thanks all !
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
Err, stability? It's officially endorsed by Google and has received 4.1.2 from it. Can't have more than that.
As for smoothness, it's decent, but the Nexus S is starting to show its age.
4.2 is official for Nexus, or a port or custom rom like Cyanogen ?
I'm actually on an LG Optimus Black. Age is almost same or i'm wrong?
(Sorry for all my questions)

4.2 is a port. Not official.
4.1.2 is official though, both are Jellybean.
Nexus S got released in December 2010, Optimus Black May 2011.
Specs are similar on both, although the Nexus S has a slightly stronger GPU.
I wouldn't sell one to get the other though, it's way too similar for you to notice a difference in terms of performance, and since you're moving from ICS to JB it's not like it's going to be night and day.
Thank you polobunny

What can the s4 powered by an AOSP ROM do that the S3 on an AOSP ROM can not?

Nothing. Its aosp. Same features and ****.
The only difference is performance, screen, and physical looks

Better screen, higher MP camera, hover stuff that might make it into CM. Otherwise it will be the same software the S3 has.
I love newest/latest/greatest...but I think I will be ok with a RC CM10.1 on the S3 vs. back to nightlies on the S4, at least until my next phone comes out (if a nexus comes to vzw again, or if the moto x-phones look good, i'll jump).
an AOSP camera app that doesn't misfocus all the time.
If the S3 can't hold a decent signal in fringe areas with AOSP after a year or two, I don't have high hopes for the S4 to do any better.

Firstly did you eliminate the fact if it's a ROM issue, a modem driver issue, or the hardware issue? For eg you may want to put on a stock samsung ROM and have a go at the reception comparison.
Secondly, there wasn't any officially built AOSP for the S3.
With the S4, there's gonna be officially built AOSP release that will have all the correct integration with the components

It's a known issue. Samsung never officially released the RIL, so the bastardized versions just don't work as well. If you're in a great 4g area, you'll be fine with AOSP, but handshakes are terrible and reception is lacking. Believe me, I've tried pretty much all the roms with multiple phones. When they work, they work well, but when they don't...terrible. It's sad, really, as I would MUCH prefer non-TW...
