All I can say is WOW I am fairly new to these boards and it seems like folks just want to argue about stuff. Alot of people were asking on this board about a rom for the samsung admire even on cm's board and no one has even offered to help. Krylon was the first to offer to help, that is why I sent him a donation to get the phone...

I am not about to beg someone to do it.

So be it...

Is this thread still alive? The only reason I ask is because I've bought a Samsung Admire over the weekend and have been working on porting CWM to it. I've done a bit of work on it but if someone's already on it, I wouldn't mind doubling the effort.

I just wanted to get my feet wet with Android porting (Java programmer background) and I picked a phone that hasn't had much attention from the CWM/CM7 community... so here I am.

Another dev is also working on the admire :-) made a pretty nice themed rom. http://androidforums.com/admire-all-things-root/486318-acs-rom-theme-admiral-beast-v-01-a.html

So what ever happened with kry getting a phone and then just quitting the dev on it. Was the donations re embursed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Donations were made to get him a phone to build cm7 and he tried. Unfortunately he could not get the kernel to work. I fail to see why there is a need for reimbursement. He tried. It didn't work. Accept. Move on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] momsboy12:
Another dev unforgiven512 I believe took it over but he's been having some problems with his new born And he's had to set the project aside plus he could only work if donations were made ....he still might be working on it, I'm not sure he doesn't really update us on much, last update I believe was in November .... :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Ironic how this thread gets necro'd a night after I unsubscribed.

Unforgiven512 has the Admire.

If I recall correctly, krylon360 received the SGS4G and tried to work on it. He was unable to get the kernel working and was handing the project off to someone else, but I think that was before our GB source was released.

Around the time the source was released, krylon360 mentioned that he was working on something for us.

Of course, with so much time between then and now, I haven't really caught up with the forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
that would be the no ciq rom that you have ...... DONATIONS ARE WHAT TEHY ARE DONATIONS... You are not obgliated to do it .. ALso note devs are not obligated to give you roms eather...

Oh right, sorry that I forgot, thanks for the reminder. :D

Okay, let's leave this thread to die now. ;P

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
I agree about getting a phone for the cm developers. This is obviously the best and fastest way to get cm. The question is who is going to handle another phone fund. Krylon should still get the gs4g for development. The more developers the merrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Dont worry about adding to the phone fund for me. Just start one for Atinm/Codeworkx.

Refund went through today, so Im going to order one online. from the place White got his. $179...not sure on shipping
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Raver was willing to give his up to krylon, maybe he'll pass it on to another developer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Since krylon bricked his phone trying to port CM to this phone for us, I think he should have priority and he has actually done things for the 4g. It's only fair. I thought the conventional wisdom was that CM was waiting on 4g gingerbread kernel source code anyway. Raver shouldn't have to give up his 4g.

You're in Hollister, krylon, as in south of Gilroy, California? Or is that Hollister Texas or something? If so I'm not too far from where you are.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
I read that as he met the guy in front of a Hollster store in a mall.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Here's my say.. not that it matters.

Send the phone to an actual CM Dec to get it booting and started... its probably the fastest way we can get it on there and going.

THEN have it go back to Krylon to be further debugged and worked on once we know we have it at least booting and working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cammykool:
krylon voulnteered to do the admire
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
Here is my 2 cents, krylon, drhonk and white was here in the beginning helping us get our phones going and they didn't even own one, The other people weren't here trying to help.

Krylon said he would help us get cm7 and I feel he will.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Exactly how I feel :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
That's a good point, but both Whitehawkx and krylon are telling us to start a fund to get a device to Atinm or Codeworkx. IMO, if those guys are saying that's what we should do then that's what we should do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
+ 1 get in touch with those devs and start [a] new fund(s)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
My opinion (what little it matters) is that I donated to get krylon a phone. The money I donated I would like to go towards getting krylon a phone. I have no problem donating again for another cause but I do not thing there should be a discussion of whether or not he gets the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
The reason i said i would give my phone to krylon (hell if had another one id send to whitehawk also)... Is this personally i have talked to krylon and whitehawk they are standup people these other developers you speak of (please dont take this bad.) I dont know them... The community was nice enough to donate 90+ percent of teh funds for me to get the device i covered the rest as where i got it from was no way shape in form going to get scammed :P... I know that krylon or whitehawk sorry whitehawk useing u as an example :P are trustworthy and would also return the device bricked or otherwise lol.... im not takeing anyones side i woud love to see this done for you all... Im not saying what the community gave me i value less i value it emensly :P Just if it helps people here progress further and not backwards ill do that for them :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ruh8nit2:
We shouldn't forget that all these devs are putting in alot of time and effort to make all this stuff work for us, so we should all be donating to them regardless. Bottom line, we need them, otherwise we'd be doing it ourselves. So big thanks to Krylon and all the other devs for doin what you guys do best!!

It seems as though krylon just found some type of gb source.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KB0SDQ:
I think we need to remember that we are discussing two phones the sgs and the admire

for the admire I believe we have gotten enough money for, the other is complete so i guess both funds are complete. Is that right?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
Actually, now I think we are discussing 3 phones: the Admire and two SGS4Gs, one which we have already raised the funds for (and sent to krylon) and one to possibly send to the other developers, which we are currently discussing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Holy crap. Posted this last night and it gets 4 pages overnight of arguing!

I'll send a PM to Atinm, codeworkx, and coolya. Maybe our forum can generate a fund for three? Maybe that would be excessive though. *shrugs*

Please comment on who you guys think should get the phone. I'll contact them immediately and edit the thread.

Also, the phone fund for ONE SGSG4G and Admire seems to be met. Now we're in the process of planning a SECOND (maybe third or fourth) SGS4G for multiple developers.

@krylon360: So, you already got a new SGS4G for $179? Maybe that place can be the go-to place for every phone fund then. That seems to be the cheapest around.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
First, Krylon glad you found a reliable source for the phone. You deserve it.

Second, I agree if White and Krylon suggest trying to get this phone in the hands of CM developers then we should at least try to raise some more funds. Bkoon thanks for offering to talk to those guys and see if they are interested. Please keep us posted. I for one would donate what I could for that cause.

Third, argue on. I feel like I'm at ringside.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I contacted codeworkx, but I can't seem to contact atinm and coolya. atinm can't be messaged through XDA, and coolya seems to only post as a gust.

If anyone can provide me some contact info for them (like an email address), please post it here or send it to me!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Atinm uses Google + pretty exclusively.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
You are proving to have plenty of time to reply to this (krylon360 Phone Fund ) thread.

Why don't you invest your time in a new thread for the Devs you are advocating for? I will donate to that cause. Will you?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I'll donate.

and if the source I found today works after some tweaking, I'll shoot it to him for possibly merging into the hacksung kernel.

Right now it loops, so needs tweaking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Yeah perhaps we should start a fund and buy you another phone since you seem to know so much about cm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Googled him up, but I can't message him. At least, I don't know how to. I only used Google+ like, 3 times.

Anyone else that could provide me contact info for atinm or coolya would be great. codeworkx has yet to respond.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] marcos.lennis:
I couldnt agree more. I took a chance and I am sticking to it. Krylon360, thanks for your support. I hope that you can get the phone very soon with the already reached funds for the Admire. I hope that you can make CWM, and hopefully OC Kernel and Custom Rom on this baby SOON!!! LOL

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Flakito97:
so when can we expect some development? a moderator should....PLEASE..... start a Samsung Admire thread. to keep things more organized ...

It's amazing to me how I feel some are attacking me.

Good luck...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Naw dude your good...just making people think is all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I don't think that that is necessarily the case and if it is I offer apologies. Your idea to get them a phone is a good idea and should be followed through. I will donate to it. However, I still think that the original fund to get krylon the phone should be done as it was ment. To get him the phone. Giving krylon an sgs4g has great potential to get more than just cm7. Remember we got cwm and 2 bionix roms through him first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
That's codeworkx's response. I'll try to contact Coolya, Atinm, or Unhelpful. I have no idea how to use Freenode IRC though, so I'll Google it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I agree with that completely. Krylon, in my opinion from reading the boards, has done more for this phone than people that are just recently getting the GS4G can imagine. Without Krylon, our phone would not be where it is today. All of the hard work and dedication that he has put into our phones development he will forever and always receive my support. I will gladly support any additional developer as well ... but Krylon is not able to be replaced
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
I can help you out if need be. This is the easiest way to use Freenode IRC if you don't already have a client set-up:

http://webchat.freenode.net/

Just go there, enter your nick, enter the channel you wish to join, do the captcha and you're off!

P.S. - Also, I'm not suggesting we stop supporting Krylon. I realize that he has done great things for our phones and thank him very much for that. But I stand by my point that if he and Whitehawkx say we should look into getting the CM guys a phone then we should follow their advice. I donated to Krylon and I'd be happy to donate again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
We're definitely not replacing krylon360. He is the developer that got us CWM and some of our first ROMs.

Since krylon360 already purchased his new SGS4G, we might as well make use of this thread and turn it into another phone fund for the CM developers.

I'll be sure to post any updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Good idea.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
After waiting a whole day for coolya and Unhelpful (suggested by codeworkx) to respond, I left my email for them to contact me.

Hopefully, they'll get to me soon. If not, I'll try again tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] marcos.lennis:
Krylon360, any update on the Admire?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Any updates we should know about?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Nope, they haven't responded yet. Don't worry, I'll post updates as soon as I get them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neocorteqz:
I don't have a absolute need for cmX (whatever version of cm), but I'd love to see a GB version of frost or black ice, frost was the very first ROM I ever installed, and I loved it. So I would donate for a nw phone to krylon for that and of course to help get him to his goal of finishing cm7

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm talking with Unhelpful now, but unfortunately, he's AT&T, which would cause difficulties in testing the network. It'll work on 2G for AT&T, but 3G would not.

I'm still trying to get in touch with coolya.

Atinm is also on AT&T, so it's very likely that his response will be the same as Unhelpful's. I'll ask regardless.

I just realized this thread has a pretty low rating. I wonder why. o.o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Yes Raver is willing but he's been building rom's for this phone blind. I don't know about everyone else but I think he needs to keep the phone. Just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
RaverX3X giving his SGS4G to another developer doesn't really make sense. It's not like he's doing nothing with the phone. He's building solid ROMs for us.

I'm sure the community can generate the funds for another phone easily.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
Hm.... I wonder if there's any other devs on a more suitable network...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Well I think its just a matter of getting it to at least boot and then I'm sure krylon is able to finalize it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ruh8nit2:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ruh8nit2:
This is where we've been forwarded to find out the status on the admire phone fund ( I know the goal was reached) and I couldn't find a forum on here for the admire, could be wrong though.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] marcos.lennis:
You r right. Funds were reached for the Admire on this thread/forum. There aren't any threads nor forums for the Admire.

So... Any update yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm not sure how you're supposed to start a forum, but maybe you can email a mod about it.

EDIT: I was asking around in #CMSGS, and someone named "Kaik541" responded, saying that there are no CM developers in the US that use T-Mobile. It seems like we're kinda SoL, but I'll continue trying to get in touch with coolya. That guy is ALWAYS away! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ruh8nit2:
Well Krylon360 has already got enough $$$ to order the phone and I think he's writing the new rom himself. Going to send him a message in a little bit to find out the status of everything. It seems like he's busy as hell though so we just have to be patient. He'll come through.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Like I said I don't think that matters at all...we just need a start for krylon...just a bootable cm with nothing working would probably be good enough for krylon to finish it...

But then again...what do I know?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Yea the people who.propose for a cm dev should of at least try to help.in contact them..because at the,end of the,day we dont know these pplwe just like their product..seems like bkoon is the only busting his ass for us
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
If someone can try to get in touch with coolya on #cmsgs, we might be able to get development to move faster.

I'm in class during the day and late into the night (night classes suck -.-), so it would be great if someone could actually do that during the day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
No problem, I'll see what I can do ;) If you get a chance, pls send me a PM on here or hit me up on IRC so I can get some details from you concerning what you've been talking about so far. I don't want to overextend my reach if you know what I'm saying.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
I did not realize I was supposed to post every time I reached out to a developer. Apologies. Please do not assume the worse. I want CM7.1 more than any of you, I promise. I was dumped into the SGS4G against my will.... this place desperately needs help. You all seem to have incredibly high expectations, yet you are barking up the wrong tree. If you want CM... contact CM developers. I have on more than one occasion been told, they simply need the device - regardless what others may say, straight from CM developers... they simply need the device. Some of them have recently been given other devices and the SGS4G is past it's prime... can't fault them for not wanted to spend time on a "hard case" where there are so little people using the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
That's exactly what we're trying to do. The issue we are running into now is that none of the devs we've contacted are on T-Mobile. We'll keep trying. It's not as simple as sending someone a device.

codeworkx = busy on another project

Atinm = not on T-Mobile

Unhelpful = not on T-Mobile

coolya = ?

In the meantime good luck to Krylon, RaverX3X, Whitehawkx, dsexton702 and the other devs working on their projects. Thanks for all you guys do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Couldn't they just unlock the phone as many of us have?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
From what I understand it's an issue with them not being able to test on our network properly, not an issue with the device itself.

@bkoon1218:

I noticed on the CM commmunity members page that a dev that goes by "guiperpt" is also a maintainer for the Galaxy S and S II, so I sent him a message as well via IRC.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
They don't need to test out the network. Krylon can take it over from there when it boots as it was mentioned before. They either just busy or don't want to bother. I would say to give krylon another chance and save your time and money. He said he can get around it now with the help of the epic 4g forums.

Its just matter of time and you will have cm7.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
looking deeper into getting any cm build for our phone... I've read, and someone already stated, we need the GB kernel source for our phone. so even if we did get one of the cm devs an SGS4G, they themselves still need the GB kernel source for our phone. now I'm all for getting them a phone, but its kinda useless until Samsung gives us the GB kernel source for our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
The kernel source is not really really in need. It will speed up the process by having it but it's not a must.

There is couple phones out there that got cm7 without Gb source. Were trying to fallow their steps and get them to tell us what was their trick.

Krylon did all that already and he knows the trick..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Exactly if you been reading last few post,they DONT HAVE TMOBILE,so they use that as an excuse..because really your getting a free phone all you gotta do is work at it..I was here back in April where there was nothing,you wonder why we all want cm7 already.. I got force on this phone too but what could you do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Agree with this 100 percent,many devs especially talented ones got their own priority and are somewhat into their own world..meaning you wont find many raver,krylon,dex etcc out there..who are willing to help..So we should just have gone with krylon,he has stated that he was getting help from those guys along the way..a lot quicker than getting them a phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KB0SDQ:
Is that the sg4g or the Admire you are talking about? Being both phones are in this thread
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
If everybody feels like the network testing could be completed on our end, I could try talking to Unhelpful again to see if he's willing to work on it.

I'll try talking to guiperpt later tonight when I'm home from class as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
Yea network is nothing important. It always seems to work without the hassle.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
You knoe you guys could follow him on twitter same name..but in that post he was referring to the sg4g..he bought the admire from ebay..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
Why bother talking to people who obviously doesn't want any part of this, give krylon time, he has a life, when he gets done it will be done. I don't understand why people need this so bad that they are asking help from people who doesn't want to help.

Just be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
I think the idea we are all looking at here is the more devs working a project the better. It's not a patient issue at all. Simply trying to allocate more resources to get the end result. Bkoon and ulti thanks for trying to get in contact with those guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
^ This, and the fact that krylon himself told us we should get in contact with these guys. It's not that we're impatient at all, we're just trying to help out where we can.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
That is exactly the plan. We're not questioning krylon360. We piss respect for him for the stuff he's done for this community. It's just that more help might be better.

EDIT: I've asked Unhelpful for more help this time, mainly about possibly getting the SGS4G, developing on AT&T, and passing it over to krylon360 to finish.

The main issue would be building it CM7 and sending builds over to krylon360 for anything that needs to be fixed. In one of krylon360's posts, he said that he was already working with codeworkx and atinm for CM7.

Unhelpful suggested that he could go to #cmsgsteam on freenode IRC.

Unhelpful was far from unhelpful! :P

Have you gotten the phone yet krylon?
