I wasn't going to chime into this conversation, but I'd love to see a CM9 for my Vibrant. I love this phone, and I love this community. I love all the devs that take the time to bring us what T-Mobile and Samsung failed to do. And no, I'm not sucking up and in any way saying devs are gods or know it all. We're all human, and we're all equal. And that being true, we should treat each other with the same amount of respect. You see, I'm not taking sides, I can sympathize with both sides, I understand that users are angry/upset that they're device is being dropped, but I also understand the devs side, they don't need to do anything, they don't need to take people's crap, but a lot of them do. Take Eugene for example, in my opinion, he's a great dev, but he works differently than others. He is a more community based dev. He releases test builds and whatnot, unlike.. let's say Team Whiskey, they bring out a pretty stable ROM the first time. But that's not to say Team Whiskey is better than Eugene, or anything. So just like Eugene didn't like being flamed, and taking people's crap.. neither do any other devs. I'm sorry, I know I went off-topic, I guess what I'm trying to say is whether we like it or not, we owe our devices to these devs, because I'm pretty sure if they weren't here, most people would have gotten rid of their Vibrants a long time ago. Just like users want devs to be more active and understanding and whatnot, us users should understand these people do this because they like to, not because they have to. So.. if any dev would like to help bring CM9 to the Vibrant, thank you. And if not, thank you still, for bringing us whatever you have. Now.. I have to pee.. kbai.

Devs, could you at least fix 911 and gps? Seems like cm7 for us never really worked fully. I'm not complaining it just feels like an unfinished product. Thanks for everything so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] degeneration:
My GPS works fine. Has since a daily from weeks ago.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
ok lets get this thread back to its topic, great discussion tho, someone can start a thread in the general section.
[Vibrant Android Development] beowolf:
Its dead to me, i have a sensation coming and i am finally out of the vibrant ghetto.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
lol sooner than u think the sensation will be a ghetto too.....are u new to technology? smh

sorry i had to reply to that :p
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Oh okay well have really buggy ICS builds...so by this time next year a good ICS i9000 port will be released
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Really, mine still broke.

My GPS locks with 9 birds in two seconds. Yes, I'm being literal and not exaggerating.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
They don't owe you anything, you spoiled brat. Quit harassing the developers and thank them for their work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Se7eN43:
yes, i am one of those silent people who appreciates and respects all the hard working devs on xda. i do think there should be a revolution here, for us mature and understanding people to voice over these disrespectful memebers, so that these forums do not appear to be trashed by them.

seriously people! these devs do all of this on their spare time for free!! using any mods on your device CAN come with some issues. some big and some small. but dont go posting on the forums whinning and complaining to them as if they are a business. know what you are getting into and the risks you take before you mod your device so that if you soft or hard brick or lose data, you are not pointing fingers to anyone other than yourself.

thanks to all of teamhacksung for doing such a phenomenal job without even having the vibrant in the first place. if it wasnt for the other galaxy s varients, we would not have what we have today.

also, thanks to Genesis3 for considering working ics onto the vibrant and picking up on the 911 bug.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I just don't understand why so many people complain about things others are doing for them for FREE. But to counter the haters maybe we can start a fundraiser for CyanogenMod from Vibrant users. Right now CM7 is what makes my phone awesome and i want to support that. Is there a way to donate to CyanogenMod and leave a note saying it is from the Vibrant community?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
I would go HTC but they used bad washed out lcds an snapdragons gpus suck an phones are fat and heavy so ill stick with Sammy but that's some great performance GPS wise
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Can you guys just atop its just turning to flame feast its settled where not supported ok that's the end of it were are all luck that we have anything there are phones with no devs or no forum or 1 dev or 1 rom we have tons to chose from go poke your head around xda an go see how lucky we are our phones are old but damn we have so much Support!
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Yeah, I was thinking a fundraiser from the Vibrant community for a Vibrant device for atinm or any CM7 developer willing to work this us still. That'd be awesome, if someone would be willing to. <3
[Vibrant Android Development] paypalbid:
Yes, paypal the money to dev team. In the payment template there is a box to write message to recipient.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yeah but we need it a little more organized, maybe start a new thread....set a goal for the price, and people can post how much they are willing to drop.

reminds me of the hd2 days where we had bounties just for bugs lol

Very, very sad news to me, and atinm some of us dont want MIUI we want plain vanilla AOSP CM9!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Not bad, eh?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
No. We are honestly sick of it. But we'll most probably port it over once we have Captivate or Galaxy S working - only if we can get the bits we need. None of us is going to spend any time focusing on the Vibrant though. Hissy fits only make it unlikely Vibrant will get any time.

Do you guys really think we spend our free time trying to make you guys happy? And the stupid "boss" comparison - none of us get paid to do this and definitely not to take crap from users (and you couldn't pay me enough . . . ). We do it because we enjoy it, and mostly for our own benefit. The Vibrant is the one phone none of us enjoy, both because the phone is weirder than the others, and because of many of the users and their weird sense of entitlement.
[Vibrant Android Development] beowolf:
Oh course, in a few years i will be leaving the sensation ghetto too, to move on to the Quad core 5.5 inch phones of the future.......

[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Thanks for the letting the Vibrant community know CM's plans for the Vibrant.

I'd like to apologize for other users in the Vibrant community. As a Vibrant owner I know it has been an awesome device and a really really frustrating device to own.

People seem to be focusing their frustration on the wrong group of people. My frustration is completely focused on T-Mobile. They've completely abandoned their user base from what was once one of their "premier" phones.

Some other users in the community would contend that Samsung is at fault here, but other original SGS phones are seeing gingerbread either pushed to their device or at least leaked "test" builds.

I can't wait until my contract with T-ImMobile is over so I can jump ship and start using a service that has more than Edge connectivity where I live and work. They may have the lowest price but where I live you get what you pay for, data connectivity that is comparable to the days of dial up internet.

Again thanks for your time Atinm
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
They just recently turned up 4g data here after years of being in the EDGE ghetto, and CM7 on the Vibrant is returning ~4-5mbps at times and nearly always 2mbps or better both directions.

That does not suck for a device that cannot use multichannel (the SGS II has shown numbers that are truly astounding - I've been 10+Mbps on one of those around here of late.)
[Vibrant Android Development] PigProtist:
I'm on nightly 181, and when I change a Lockscreen setting, I have to lock my phone twice before the change takes place. I also noticed a bit of lag when checking checkboxes, and that when turning data on and off using the power control widget on the homescreen, the widget doesn't update itself. Is anyone else having these problems? Also, was the location of the music song name lockscreen widget intentional? It just looks a bit cramped where it is now.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Sad you felt like you had to respond to all the negativity, but in fairness if other phones got the support of ours, then you would see the same kinds comments, it's not our community, or people that own Vibrants. We may have had some buyers remorse but my phone rocks with cm7, and it never would have, so thanx anyway.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Thank you for your candor. The vibrant was ONLY an option for me because of your efforts for cm7. I sold mine because of the GPS issues.

Thank you for your hard work without appreciation.
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
I plea to you to reconsider, or at least put us on the nightly builds of CM9 even without any Vibrant specific fixes, just ares common and we will be very very happy.

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Frankly, I'm shocked (and grateful) at the level of CyanogenMod support the Vibrant has gotten in the first place considering that no dev's own one or have T-Mobile. If people want to gripe, they're gonna gripe. I don't blame anyone for jumping ship. Shoot, I won't have this thing forever either. Those that want to see continued to CyanogenMod support for the Vibrant probably need to find some developers that actually have Vibrants (and T-Mobile) ;).

As far as ICS goes, why on earth would ANYONE want it on the Vibrant? There will be a multitude of issues, mainly a lack of drivers. It wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for anyone.

The reality is that smart phones change constantly. It doesn't matter that this thing was a flagship device 18 months ago. That was 18 months ago. T-Mobile is to blame for a lack of Gingerbread, not Samsung and not the people willing to develop for this device.

A lot of people didn't know what they were getting into when they bought this device, that's your own fault for not reading up and knowing what you were getting. It's also your own fault for choosing to keep it even after finding all the quirks. It's not up to XDA to make your device spit out grilled cheese. It's not XDA's fault that so many of you signed 2 year contracts and feel "trapped". Every damn smart phone is out dated after 2 years, that's nothing new. Decent Froyo, much less Gingerbread, wouldn't be available for the Vibrant without hardworking developers. The entitlement of the vocal minority floors me.

Frankly, I'm glad to see development support for a device I own to end simply because of the sense of entitlement that is floating around in this thread. It's sickening and juvenile.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
Finally somebody wrote it!

Chasing a bleeding-edge version is a BAD idea!

Why not concentrating on GB bug hunting only?

Let's consider the old Samsung i5700 I owned before the Vibrant. Some guys ported CyanogenMod 6. It worked but it was full of bugs. Suddenly after CM7 was released, they dropped CM6 support and started working on CM7 porting from scratch.

What's the result? CM6 remained full of bugs, and CM7 has never been stable. Meanwhile, most devs sold their phone.

I mean, what's the point of wanting ICS on our Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] metalman3797:
To say they have ICS? lol

I tried it just now and yeah its really buggy. No wifi, 2g/3g, calls work but need speaker, music doesnt work unless you have headphones.

We all know vibrants have.... well dont have gps basically.

The ICS port from I9000 was surprisingly fast and snappy for an alpha. I dont even care about GPS anymore. I just use the directions part of maps. But people will put what they want on their phones. Some people dont need certain features. NOTE**** if you flash ICS on your vibrant make sure you nandroid b4 you flash it or you will have a lot of headaches.
[Vibrant Android Development] wbexpress:
Wowie, the last few pages of this thread are really goofy. I for one am extremely thankful for what these guys have done. Once CM7 Nightlies started to become somewhat stable, I started using them, knowing I could get an external GPS unit, which I did. Then, suddenly soon thereafter I discovered both a kernel and a fix that now give spot-on GPS, it just takes about 30 seconds to lock. Perhaps these links will appease the masses and everyone can chill... :D

I weep at how instead of complaining someone actually starts building CM9 from source.....
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Now here is the question: If someone wants to move on from Vibrant, what would be a good choice considering the factors that developers community won't abandon the device so quickly.

Galaxy S2? which one of them? there are plenty.
[Vibrant Android Development] ezraf:
Hold out for the Galaxy Nexus. Plenty of future support there. Debatable, but I think you'll be able to purchase it within a couple of months. Sooner if you want to switch to Verizon, or immediately if you want to spend a fortune and import from Europe (3g/HSPA+ will work fine).

You can pick up a used mytouch 4g for cheap on craigslist. Great phone, tons of support. Pretty much any HTC phone will have support.
[Vibrant Android Development] ddanc1984:
Best post I've seen in awhile. I like the Vibrant and applaud the devs who spend a lot of their time working on this stuff. I wish I could afford a new phone but it is what it is. Even with the quirks I've had, the phone is a lot better with these custom ROMS that it ever was with stock so those that keep continuing to complain about the devs can feel free to return to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Galaxy Nexus. Look, it's not that developers "abandon" a device because they get tired of it. When a carrier abandons a device and doesn't update it, then there's nothing developers can do. If there's no source (Official Gingerbread in this case) then anything that gets developed is going to have things missing. In this case, it's stuff like GPS and 911 issues, video codecs, etc. Developers can't just make things appear out of thin air. People don't seem to understand that fact.

Your best bet for support is ALWAYS going to be owning a Nexus device because Google is going to support those devices directly for as long as those devices can run the newest version of Android in a manner that doesn't make the consumer's experience suffer. No carrier is going to support a device for 2+ years. It's not beneficial to their bottom line, especially when there are hundreds of different devices floating out there.

People need to understand that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to always have the latest and greatest AND require a subsidized device + 2 year contract, then you're competing against yourself. Developers certainly do amazing stuff and stretch the life out of devices, but it's unrealistic to expect 99% of devices to "keep up" when things are changing so quickly. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T are in the profit business, not the device supporting business. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
wow, so apparently the VIbrant community has gotten worse. lulz

I never thought that could happen.

IDK why people are *****ing about not getting ICS.

The only device with fully working ICS is the Nexus lulz.

I guess I shouldn't have gotten a vibrant again to do stuff on.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
I wish the Devs would stop putting all of use in the same community, not everyone as "gotten worse". There is a large majority of us that are very thankful for all the time you've put into our phones. I'm not even looking at ICS because Gingerbread is still a work in progress, and we've come so far. Not to beat a dead horse, but it seems that when a senior Devs attack us it's hard not to take it personal, as I'm sure it is for you when "the community" *****es. I love my phone bugs and all; if nothing more is done with the Vibrant I for one am fine with that; when I'm ready to I'll buy another phone that will be obsolete in ~2yrs...it is just a phone after all. Thanks again to all the Devs and if you still want a challenge then please keep improving my phone. :D:):D
[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
reading all the whiners on here is enough on its own to make me pull the HD2 out of the drawer and use it instead...

if you a troll....well, troll cant be stopped lol :rolleyes:

on topic question: no more nightlights are being released for cm7 period right? (not referring to vibrant only)

cheeers
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
Will the Vibrant at least see CM7.2?
​
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
They will continue CM7 work, they just dont want to continue onto CM9 because they dont have the phone and they prefer not to because of it being a outdated phone already. Plus not to mention GB was not released from Samsung so they really have no GB source.
[Vibrant Android Development] MizSxxyBych:
Sucks :(
[Vibrant Android Development] :
right,wrong, right. its not because of the phone being outdated,its because they got tired of the vibrant, and it didnt help that SOME members of the community where rude.

i respect their decision, i hate ungrateful people too :p

cm9 ports to the vibrant will be a sure fire tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah i just didnt want to categorize everyone as being ungrateful so i left that part out. :) And them being tired of the vibrant is what i was trying to say just didn't know the right words to lay it out nicely (typing and doing other things at the same time).
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I was worried since we haven't had a nightly in 3 days.
[Vibrant Android Development] ezraf:
Samsung just pushed 2.3.5 to the original Galaxy S (international/UK) version today. Nice to see them do that. Brings back memories of when the Nexus S came out and rumors were flying around about how similar the Galaxy S/Vibrant was and how we'd possibly skip Froyo and go straight to Ginergerbread. That was nearly a year ago too! The Vibrant has been a fun ride, and I wish it'd last a little bit longer. Thanks Devs, it's been real. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
In case you didn't know....many phones...for example G1 went all the way to CM6... and was only upgraded officially to 1.6 donut...so no.

We could go all the way to CM1000 if we could...
[Vibrant Android Development] skynet11:
What's the point of accepting hardware when you don't want to develop for it? If you're Dev X and you have, say, an AT&T SGS2 and a Epic 4G Touch and your team is working hard on them and someone tries to donate a Vibrant asking for you to dev for it? Prior to this, you might have said you don't have the hardware because you don't want to be blunt and say "your device is obsolete and I'm busy with this year's phones." Then you might refuse the hardware when someone presses the issue, still not wanting to alienate an entire community by being nasty and saying "I don't want to develop for your old phone." You are under NO obligation to develop for the refused hardware and you did the honorable thing by not accepting a phone you have no intention of working on. You are especially not obligated to deal with entitled trolls who complain in the forums about why you didn't take on yet another phone you'll never use.

[EDIT]: wow, forgot to check the page number and date - that was a REALLY delayed reaction - sorry guys

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
True. My glacier	had gingerbread long before HTC released source.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
I agree, when Samsung and T-Mobile don't update the device that also means they want to push us to move to newer devices and spend more money.

It seems that most people are recommending Galaxy Nexus, but it seems that Galaxy 2, even though older than Galaxy Nexus has more features for example micro sd card, and 8MP camera. Isn't that weird that Galaxy Nexus, a newer phone has less features?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
I say close this thread down!
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
No, it's just proof that people will buy a device for superficial reasons. More megapixels doesn't mean better pictures or a better camera. Glass quality is what counts. As far as microSD goes, Google figured out a long time ago that fewer moving parts is better. I stopped using my microSD in the Vibrant due to it causing lag, over a year ago. I have zero use for expandable storage.

It's a feature people either care about, or don't. Personally, it could have a 36164526 megapixel camera and 3 microSD slots and I still wouldn't buy it because it's got TouchWiz, doesn't have ICS, and is dependent on Tmobile for updates. Those are deal breakers, not some 8 megapixel camera. What good does that do? Are people taking pics with their phones and ordering Walmart prints!? ;)

Personally, I shoot all my pics at 2.5 MP's, I don't want huge pics that take up space and make uploading take longer.
