Cubed appears to be developing for the Vivid now.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I just looked over there you seem to be right. To bad this has serious potential. It's okay we still have mt!
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
I have never used cyanogen but from what mt has given us in gingervolt this phone is pretty dang good. Plus he is a great help when in need. If anything I would just want to stay with this phone because the community is great.

[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Wow. Well at least he let you guys know that he was abandoning you guys [sarcasm].
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Lol yeah cause he owes us the world...jk
[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
theCubed did a lot to get this thing up and running for us to even be where we're at now so I have no issue with him moving on. mt has done an awesome job rebuilding the **** stock ROM to make it kick ass. all we need is a dev that has the skills and more importantly the time and patience to build an aosp ROM for our device. no big deal, things always seem to work out here for some reason...

[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he owes you guys anything at all. I'm just saying, if you're going to leave a project that a lot of people were counting on, at least let them know so maybe someone else could pick up where you left off. When my second Revo got trashed I had like 3 themes that were incomplete here. I sent people PM's and posted all over the forums about what had happened and asked people if they wanted to take over my work since I couldn't do it anymore.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Hey spc I sent you a pm had a quick question in there!

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Sorry! I hate that there is no popup or something to tell you that you have PMs. You didn't say what theme you're talking about but yes you can take over whichever one you want. I don't expect full credit, just at least give me credit for the base of the theme.
[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
I didn't take it the wrong way and I completely agree. It would be cool if he turned the project over to someone that's still developing for this device, that would be awesome. As far as you're concerned, I've always liked your work. You have always and still continue to give great support here even after all the crap that you've gone through with your Revos. i definitely didn't mean anything personal by my comment. It's unfortunate that not all devs have the dedication to their users that you do.

[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Thanks for the kind words! This community (the Revo community) was by far the best community I've ever been a part of! I still have my Charge up for trade on craigslist lol, hoping to get another Revo.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Thanks man. It was the one you had us beta test. I'll work on it tonight after work to get it updated to run on gv 1.3

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
This isn't directed at you, apparently the new pos tapatalk can't just reply?

I say we all pool our respective brains together and try to get this going. Also it might be good to get what cubed had, at least a start maybe...

I was actually drunk posting last night but still.. I will be satisfied with Cubed just saying not going to happen or still work in progress.. and MT knows I love and appreciate his hard work this was not to insult anybody's work.

Yeah spc I was completely joking with you maybe it came out wrong didn't mean for that sorry
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Agree getting what he had would help a ton he had it booting attest without that your talking about compiling kernel and all that.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
I have the horsepower, just not the knowledge yet, hopefully there are some awesome posts I can read through :/ The new lappy is quad core i7 turboboost with 12 gigs o ram. Now to learn how to do all this and fail probably. But trying is better than nothing, I guess.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Better to try and fail than not try at all!
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Make ICS now that you have something like that lol.

[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
Any new progress on this?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Doubtful. Mt is the only dev we have now and that poor guy has been so busy.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
disregard... mis-information..
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
Okay thanks, i was just wondering.
[LG Revolution] jonscapri:
It would be nice to get some of the devs from other phones to get on this. Maybe we can get some of the Eris devs to jump on the bandwagon since the Eris is approaching EOL in the near future.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
That's not gonna happen. Anyone that can upgrade right now is getting the Nexus or the Razr. The Eris has been an EOL device for quite a while now.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
The Eris EOL'd 7 months after its initial release. It released in November 2009 and was EOL in May 2010. The internal hardware for the eris was already 2yrs old at its release, that being said it was a solid little phone with great devs. Such is the case with HTC phones...

and I agree, anyone upgrading will be going Nexus or Razr, or waiting for the next batch of dual core smart phones.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Loved my Eris!

You never know since Verizon had this phone free for black Friday. Given time we'll see what happens.

I can't believe this thread hasn't been closed. That said, I'm off to Best Buy and stuff.

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Once it was rooted and ROM'd it was a super little phone. Loved xtr rom on it, super smooth and fast.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I preferred GingerTazz or Worksheds ROMs but I heard xtr was pretty flawless.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
My Eris sucked had 3 that went to crap Verizon finally gave me the original DROID. I had it rooted and can't remember what I had there but it just sucked still was to laggy compared to stock DROID.

[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Thecubed has not given up on us (it appears)!!!

So, i suddenly became intersted in finding a way to compile the ROM from source. I've learned a lot in just today (actually yesterday as it's now 1:13am)... So, when, not if, i can get that figured out, it looks like I might have a shot at building a CM7 ROM... :)

Why not CM9? Unless I'm confused, CM9 is based off of ICS. Yes, hopefully i can get there... Baby steps.. LoL

BUT, THE REAL REASON for this post and why i chose the above to quote on is based on something i just literally stumbled on. It also might mean someone else will beat me to the punch..

TheCubed has NOT given up on us!!! At least that's what i gather from this link, showing he just updated/created a repo for development:

https://github.com/thecubed

It was just updated Jan 3,2012.

From what I've learned about creating roms from scratch, or source code, what he just did a few days ago appears to be a key ingredient to achieving CM7 on the Revo...

I'll do my best to get it figured out. In the meantime, it looks possible that TheCubed may just get there first. :) if so, he better show me how,LoL...

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
That's interesting information...:D
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I am thrilled to hear you're seriously looking into CM7, Cybie. That and The Cubed apparently too? Icing on the cake! I am looking forward to reading about your progress.
[LG Revolution] threevolve:
Hooray! Thank you Cybie! And thank you TheCubed! I had all but given up hope of seeing CM7 on this device.
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
This is great news! I had almost lost all hope. My personal opinion is that it would probably be better just to focus on cm9 now cuz i don't really see a point in cm7 with everything we have now. But maybe that's just me being greedy lol. Anyway thank you for putting in the effort to work on this and anything you get done will be greatly appreciated.

If you need any help testing things let me know. My Droid x has cm9 now so I'm using that and my revo is just collecting dust lol.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
The biggest reason I will likely focus on CM7 is because it's got much more in support than CM9. I'm not referring to CM themselves, but the fact that you can search and find all sorts of hits on Google for development and issues regarding CM7 from many angles. CM9, being new and based on ICS will have it's issues beyond my current experience. CM7 will have it's issues, but more likely to find help/fixes and also the fact that I already know the Gingerbread is fully functional on the Revo.

I do intend to get into contact with TheCubed. As to when???? I'm not sure as I do want to at least get my Dev Environment setup and working properly. Once I have a successful 'Build source from scratch' experience, then the rest is icing on the cake. The building of the OS (Compiling from Source), is my barrier. Once I get that figured out... Watch out. :) Changing code isn't that big of a deal to me as I've done that in the past to make things work better. It's not about the code, but about the Environment in which to do so in. Android is very new to me and I have lots to learn. Where I'm motivated, I'm motivated. So, looking forward to getting this figured out one way or another. :)

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
Sounds like a plan! I wish i knew a little bit about all this and could contribute but ya. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. Good luck!
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Cubed has NOT given up on us. He will post when he has something to post. CM7 would be awesome while waiting.. Good Luck!!
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
@cybie, I'm working on CM9 now too and I have a (minimally) working build and some build tools/patches. I've created a new thread for it.

Get in touch if you want and I can help you through getting your build environment set up. PM me and I can give you some IM contact details if you want.

Same for @thecubed and @mt if either wants to get in touch too.

All this talk of CM9 is getting me all frisky ;)

[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Who ever can get a working CM7 up and running for everyone... I will donate $50.00 to that person. This has been my hope since the day I bought my phone.
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
Incentive!! :D
[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
i am willing to add 20 bucks to the pot for a working cm7 or cm9 rom
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Well, I was giving up on the idea of CM7. Being as it is with CM9 in progress with others, I might take a look at CM7 again. No guarantees, but I will look into it.. :)

I've actually managed to get myself tied up in some matters that are taking quite a bit of my time that need to be accomplished soon, so time on this has been little to none, unfortunately. :(

[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Am I missing something here? I thought the lockscreen that comes with Gingervolt is the AOSP lockscreen?
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
I think cm kanged some sense 3.whatever functionality... also more toggles possible...
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Sounds gay lol. I hate Sense.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
with the slide to multi launcher feature thing... I could be way off, but I think I remember seeing something about that.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
CM7 Lock screen. Extra slide tabs.
[LG Revolution] y2d2:
I had to pay money for this one but here's the supposed "ICS lockscreen" that I'm using through WidgetLocker:

I would assume it's available through the ICS AOSP version? I feel it works better than 4 separate slide tabs...
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
Yep that's the ICS one. But I think on my touchpad it only let's you choose 3 shortcuts if I'm not mistaken.
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
So i take it this hasn't had any progress either? This phone sucks
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
All I've seen from you is hate on every post of yours. If you want progress then stop being lazy and do it yourself or don't complain or keep it to yourself since nobody wants to hear you complain.
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
Is it wrong to expect progress? Buy me a computer and I'll be working in it.... No? That's what i thought. Unless you have anything productive to say then stfu... I simply have an opinion on this PoS phone we have.if i wanted your input i would have asked for it. And if you haven't read, the major hold up on this project was waiting on official gingerbread release...I'm sorry for asking in case i over read any progress someone might have posted since then.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
thecubed left this phone a long time ago no progress has been done since. Also, I can't buy or give anything away since I don't have a job. Also, if you think this phone is a PoS then get a new phone or stop complaining. I have to wait until my upgrade to get a new phone which is in another 11 or more months so I'll be here for quite a long time.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Actually yes it IS wrong because you're not "expecting" it. You're DEMANDING it. If it was me, i would tell you to kiss my a$$ and not put out a damn thing. I would build CM9 and only send it out through PM with specific instructions to not let you get it.

Furthermore let me add a piece of advice to you. These devs, LG, and Verizon, owe you nothing. Software upgrades are not part of your contract.
[LG Revolution] RootedUser:
+1 well said.

I've been Supercharged and Gingervolted!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Let's just see how much contradiction is in this post.

So somebody has to buy you a computer for you to work on it? I don't see you buying anybody else one to work on it for you.

So he can't share his opinion but you can yours? That makes a lot of sense.

No there is no problem with asking about progress. The problem is you didn't ask what the progress was you made a smart alec comment about it.

The moral of the story is this.Quit being a spoiled brat and quit crying like my 2 year old. You know his crying gets him? The same thing it's going to get you. Nothing. Now quit suckling your mommys nipple and move on with your life from here. Goodbye.
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
Wow! Nicely said..
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:

[LG Revolution] kcarden:
Awww...y'all stop... Your making me blush...
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
*you're
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
LOL! I was thinking the same thing.
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
You do realize that i was just asking if this was a dead project or not right?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I'm pretty sure no one realized that because that's not how you came across at all.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I don't know, let's just look at what you said.

You do understand just because you put a question mark at the end of a smart alec statement doesn't magically make it a question. A proper way to ask would be like this

"Hey, I see there hasn't been much updated here, and I completely understand that people have lives outside of cell phones, but I just wanted to see if there is an update to this project. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know and I will be happy to do what I can! Thanks for all of the many hours that you have put into this phone that you haven't charged me dime for!"

That will get you a WHOLE lot further!
[LG Revolution] leppricon:
I maybe able to help.

What do I need to develop? Just a link to a tut or a list of the needed software. Getting a new phone at the end of the month and so I'll be able to do more with my phone. Just need some info.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Google search is your friend lol. If you want to do kernel work you need Linux. Make sure you have the sdk and jdk. Then tools such as avabox, apkmultitool, and a good source editor.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
A lot of RAM for CM9. 12gb RAM minimum.
[LG Revolution] JohnnyAn:
What would you need that much RAM for? Not being argumentative, just seems a bit extreme. I was hoping to start doing development stuff this summer (law school doesn't leave much time for learning new skills :-( ), but my laptop only has 8gb, should i just not bother learning cause i don't have a computer that could handle dev stuff?
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
nah.. This phone needs more attention... The more the merrier. And apology to every one... I guess this isn't the forum to talk on in a hurry
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
It's completely up to you if it's worth it or not. I would think it is worth it since there is such a big need for CM9/ICS developers.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Is the RAM just for speed? If I only have 8gb of Ram does that mean it will just take twice as long to compile?? Or it just wont happen period?? (Disclaimer: serious question.. not being a smart ass :D)
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I honestly don't know but I wouldn't think that just because you only have 8gb or RAM that you wouldn't be able to do it. I think your logic is right that it just means it will take longer to compile. I could be completely wrong though. I've never messed with ROMs that need those kinds of specifications.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Don't forget the processing power that your computer needs lol. Big one there to if I'm right
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
Like what? I mean I know a lower powered CPU well just be slow. But I mean what kinda chip do you need. My main desktop has a phenom II x4 955 @ 4 GHz. How would that do with compiling. It also has 8GB of ram.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The down low is going to be that you'll probably be in the clear with that machine. Upping your specs is going to up your productivity on a build.

Make sure your C/C++ is way up to snuff, because things are going to look a whole lotta crazy, and there have been a heck of a lot of hands in the pot, and the code ain't pretty for playing with device drivers.

Also, for step one, you will need some killer GIT (ugh) and (of course) Linux skills.

If you fit the bill, then give it a shot.

Edit: Oh yeah, and always get ready to start over from scratch on your device if it's the test bed. That means: keep backups.

When starting from scratch (like what would be necessary on the Revo), there isn't going to be a kitchen... it's all you baby...
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
Yea my C/C++ skills are very lacking. I want to try my hand at android development, but I haven't ever found a good guide to help me get started. Mostly when it comes to setting up a development environment.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
There is a wiki for it...

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source

Once upon a time, Cubed gave me the links from Koosh, but I have long since lost them. Cubed also has a repository with work he had started on (this thread has the link). I'm not sure how far he got with CM7, but I know he was able to get it to boot, but was not able to get 3D acceleration going (seems to be the problem with most "partially closed source" devices/OSes these days.)
[LG Revolution] drt054:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/steel-droid/196475-guide-how-build-your-own-rom-cm7-source-3.html

I was reading up on this forum and all seems easy until you get to the modding part is where I am sure everybody gets stuck somewhat and also probably where the C/C++ skills come into play which I am lacking also. Also with my home internet connection would need like 12 hours to download the source. Compiling everything seems straight forward though.

n/m.. this link is for existing devices that already have a setup for cyanogenmod but helps if starting from scratch
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
This guy has no idea what he's talking about LOL j/k drt don't flame me! :D
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
From my experience, GIT makes you want to stab yourself in the eye with a spork, and reading and going through the device driver code feels like slowly receiving a lobotomy (pulling a fiber of grey matter through the nose, one piece at a time).

But that's just me; however, I am a corporate Software Engineer.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
lol.. don't think I know how to "flame you" :D

I feel the same way when looking at xml, so I am sure I won't be able to dive in any deeper..
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Well, if nothing else, it gives you a big time appreciation for what the devs have to go through :D

Edit: and it looks like I have to correct myself - Cubed did get 3D acceleration working (should have read the title). It was the 4G that he had his doubts on ever getting working.

From what I've seen with CM9, though, very few development communities have been successful on 3D acceleration without native source.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
You did read the date on the last post right? Over a year ago dude.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Lots of people have definitely moved on since then lol.
[LG Revolution] crazymonkey05:
i feel bad for this phone.....did this rom ever get past alpha?
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Cool cool. I look forward to being of service! Hit me up when you need the help. Thanks again for all the time and hard work you're putting into this! :)
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Sorry to double post again, but I noticed one awesome thing about this phone was not mentioned in the OP: HDMI.

Now I'm certainly not expecting this to happen right off the bat, but do you expect that to ever be functional? The concept of mirroring N64oid in 720p with Wiimote Controller IME running has got me drooling.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I will test for you.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I wonder if they made it messy to make it more confusing for rom developers.
[LG Revolution] LowRentTechGuy:
This phone is my daily use phone so if you need radio and or antenna tests, I offer my device. PM if interested. I know basic adb for logs and such.
