If this was directed towards me: I have other things to do than to just sit around and look through 60 pages of a thread.

Thanks for the info. Will be waiting on the release.

Not really I mean sc is working on voodoo sound related things and u can see updates on cm7 for captivates thru twitter so I'm sure over time.we'll get it
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Did you get that quote directly from Samsung or..?

Posted from i897/Cognition 3.02/speedmod k12o/I9088ZNKP1 using xda app.
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
Yeah the work started here continued with the CM7 SGS guys (Codeworkx, Coolya, etc). They just decided not to release any alpha/beta builds.

From what I've read they're basically eliminating anything Samsung from our phones, right down to the partition table, so it's probably for the best that they're waiting until it's perfectly stable.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Forum.cyanogenmod.com has updates as well. They are building CM7 for the nexus s. Once its stable, the port to the galaxy will be quick and painless.
[Captivate Android Development] ankitb4u:
I want some GB too
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
By the time it is released, I won't have a captivate anymore and will be on to my next phone...oh well, thanks for the hard work anyway. Still Support!
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
I've tried to ignore this thread, I really have. Maybe I am just in a bad mood tonight, but I just can't do it anymore. So here is my rant...

This thread should have never been posted, especially in the tone it was posted in. The line that bugged me right off the bat was "Since hardware is virtually the same, it'd be logical to assume that porting from NS to SGS wouldn't be that time consuming.."

That line puts unnecessary high expectations on developers from day one. The decision to stick the thread towards the top to draw attention to the development did not help matters (I believe this was recognized later on, it was unstuck).

People bumping the thread with comments like "They must have given up" is an insult to anybody who is/was working on the project. I personally see comments like that as a snotty way of trying to motivate developers. They don't deserve this. These are the same guys who brought us lagfixes, these amazing kernels, rom ports, fixes... pretty much everything we enjoy flashing to our captivates today. I'm thankful for these guys, for the work they do and the thick skin they have to put up with situations like this. I know I couldn't do it.

So please, just have some patience. No amount of whining or backwards forms of "motivation" posted in this thread is going to make things progress any quicker.

/end rant.

Completely agree with this comment!
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
These boards are rife with a lot of big babies who demand sh*t fast and free. Good things come to those who wait.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Really? So everyone shares the sentiment that CyanogenMod is the **** then except for me? I'm PISSED this became a CM project - ****ing LIVID - because CM6 was nothing but a piece of **** on the Evo. Worst ROM I've ever used. People are already complaining about the ridiculous theming of the various ports.

CyanogenMod is great for people that are willing to sacrifice functionality to have a "barebones" phone with a pretty theme - then there are the rest of us that just want a STOCK Gingerbread port - Samsung **** or not. Is that so much to ask?

I agree with the other poster earlier in the thread who said by the time this gets released he will have a new phone. I love how the POS Evo, which hasn't sold anywhere near the amount of devices as the Galaxy S series of phones have, has had a working Gingerbread ROM for just a bit now. It makes me so proud to have a Captivate. :rolleyes:

We have superior hardware to just about every other phone on the market and yet they have builds for the myTouch even. Give me a break!
[Captivate Android Development] xnoctis93:
pissed or not, complaining won't make much of a difference. the fact is cyanogenmod has taken it upon themselves to eventually make a gingerbread port to our galaxy s phones. The EVO and Galaxy S are completely different phones with different devs working with them. I think you should just be grateful you have a powerful phone already running fine on froyo, and let gingerbread, be it in cyanogen flavour, or some other way come when it comes. The devs working on the project are working hard at it so your post in my opinion does nothing but seems ungrateful..
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I'm not grateful. After the trash experience I had with CM on my Evo, I'm not very hopeful - who knows, maybe they actually got it right this time. Time will tell. If it wasn't for the fact I threw Sprint in my bankruptcy, I'd just go back to them and kick at&t to the curb.

Maybe I was a bit brash in my post and I apologize for that, its been a long day, but I just don't agree with the CM philosophy and I doubt we are going to see people popping out Gingerbread ROMs once CM releases theirs. I guess that's the biggest bummer for me.
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Why? There is no shortage of ROMs for the other various CM phones, and in fact there's a CM 6.1 build for the SGS and that clearly hasn't impacted development here.

I don't particularly like the excessively minimalistic approach of CM either, but at least with them behind this port we can be certain it's actually going to come. The ROM chefs take things from there.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I always wonder what sort of environment people grew up in when they complain about free things. It amuses me to no end.
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
He's pissed because he bought an Evo I suppose...cause that's really the only thing he should be PO'd about...I sure as hell don't see any of the roms he built ...do you ?

Mac
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
this thread was killing my faith in humanity but the last two posts have brought it back!

Hope to see ANY gingerbread rom come to the captivate soon. Would love to see how well VOIP would work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I think I've actually hit a point were Im almost 95% satisfied after the rogers jl1 roms hit our development section. Cm7 is probably the only thing that will get me to flash unless i start having problems with what Im on. Waiting for it will just make it that much better when i get it. :D
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Actually I'm pissed I bought into the Captivate and extended my contract with at&t for another two years with that shiny new "take you to the cleaners" ETF rather than keeping my Evo which was overall a pretty kickass phone. 16GB of storage and the SAMOLED got me though as did the PowerVR SGX540 chip.
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
I agree, why can't people just give these guys a chance to do it. If it was do easy we'd all be doing it wouldn't we.

I like yourself don't know how others were raised, I was raised to appreciate what i work for and also the hard work that others do.

I say thank you to everyone that puts work into everything here on xda. Without them my captivate would still be on eclair and I probably would have gotten rid of it by now just like i did with my iphone 4.
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
+1 if you have such a problem with your phone, buy a new one, don't come on the forums and complain about why people are giving away free turkey when you want chicken, its ridiculous.
[Captivate Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Get this thread back on topic or Im closing it, this is in the Android Development section, if you're not a developer and/or not posting anything to further the development of this project then refrain from posting here.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Patiently waiting for a solid bug free aosp base for rom building. It is unfortunate they put the porting aside for cm7 development. But it also means they don't want the distraction of making ports to finnish cm7 sooner. (And better)

Oh well all the source code is there so if anyone wants the port that bad they can get to work.
[Captivate Android Development] jojomoulder:
So were are we with this port. im probably going to buy the nexux s when its at&t ready. But if this gets done by then I wont have to
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Why not just close this post if it's not going to be updated anymore.

Makes no sense to have it open if there is nothing going on with it. Just taking up space imo.

[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
I'd say kill the thread - Cyangen is working on a port. If/when it is ever completed you can end up finding it on there. This is no longer relevant to XDA since it's all moved over to the Cyanogen team.

I'm not bashing or belittling their work - but if you want updates you can always go to their website for status updates.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Second that.
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
Will the port be compatabie with at&t captivate
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
Thirded. Every 6hrs or so this thread keeps getting bumped. But the answers are all the same. Just wait for the finished project
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It's an i9000 rom, with a few captivate specific additions. The CM thread here in the captivate section is where we are all working on it.
[Captivate Android Development] bpodz34:
So it will be compatable correct?
[Captivate Android Development] insaneturbo13:
With minimal modifications. Yes. There will ultimately be a thread specifically for the captivated edition lol

Thread Locked till development occurs, OP can PM me
[Captivate Android Development] kamesen:
thanks for the clarification johnnyhoffman.

im sad to see the work wasnt going to be as simple as we had all anticipated. nonetheless my faith is with the xda team. they're awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
DarkDvr asked if I could detail my intentions, so i'll apply, answering your messages in this tread.

If you have additional specific questions, please ask directly.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Filesystems won't be an issue, as with lagfix developers are very used to filesystem conversions and detailed mount options for most of them.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
- NFC hardware is not in the SGS, so yes it's a no-go.

- Nexus S is not 720P capable, today i cannot tell what are the implications for Nexus S ROM on Galaxy S

- Modem / baseband may be challenging because of the difference in Radio Interface Layer but if we are really lucky it will work using the adequate modem.bin

- Hehe yes, buttons placements are quite inconsistent ^^

Based on declarations, the GPS may be the most challenging - or not :D
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Hopefully this was for giant clean up / separating drivers that had strange dependencies earlier ^^

But also a few features were lost in the operations
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
It also required building a custom kernel, which was not so easy by lack of informations and tools to begin with.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Thanks supercurio:

Those of us that are not developers appreciate the insight. Personally I'm in no rush to jump into a Gingerbread port given progress that has been made with applying the look and feel of Gingerbread to fairly responsive and stable Froyo roms like Assonance and others. Having said that, if it turns out that porting NS onto SGS results responsive and stable Roms, then I'll be all over it. Thanks again...
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
I think it's inexact. Koush worked also on the kernel and was the first to build custom kernel and recovery - but he did it in secret -

Also, I think you makes here a little too extensive interpretation of my words.

I never said that i was abandoning the port, that's not my style.

Only that for 1 day, after like 10h fighting on something else I didn't plan to continue the port the same day at 1AM.

Quite a difference, but no biggie.

Well, there are some other developers I know also around #project-voodoo missing in this list.

This is just the beginning.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, in my earleri the graphic kernel driver missed something an initialization, probably a little help by the init binary.

Didn't re-tried yet, but you'll know following my work!
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
I think it's a cool attitude, there is no need to push to hard hoping having every latest bit!

People on XDA tend to forget it's a phone and it needs to work, be reliable in every situation :)
[Captivate Android Development] DarkDvr:
Supercurio, thanks so much for taking time to answer our questions here =)

If you'll have any updates on this in future, I'll gladly update the OP with them =)
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
I think you don't understand my work.

Sad to imagine you picture me like a guy only interested by sucking money − I don't know how − from rich AT&T customers.

I think i never read something so stupid on XDA yet.

By the way, there are a lot less Captivate owners on XDA than Vibrant and of course I9000. Which makes your theory bogus.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Notoriety is just a tool, and can help make things happend on a larger scale.

Notoriety by itself is nothing, it's how you use it that matters.
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
That's right but I see things differently:

I hope that porting the Nexus S kernel and/or ROM won't be yet another "specific" thing.

For Captivate, Vibrant, I9000, I9000M, I9000B, Fascinate, M110S, I9000T, I9010... whatever.

Imagine how many specific phones this is. I worked with all of them for Voodoo.

Trust me, if there is chance that this does not becomes something "specific" for a model, this is a blessing.

So much time, energy and synergy was lost doing things 5 or 6 times in different communities. Let's not make the same mistake again !
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
You're welcome !

Now let's work :)
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Thanks guys you are awesome!

Am excited, but take your time!
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
LMAO at the link!
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I was trying to find out on the kernel source but it was beyond me it seems: it is confirmed the same bcm 4751 chip on the nexus s? AOSP would mean access to the driver source (or, at least, a better understanding of the interface with the kernel)?
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Ok I'm going to be a liiiiil' bit offtopic here but maybe take the chance since supercurio's looking here ;)

Is it a kernel change or ROM change to add a different language to a custom ROM?

I'd like to try and modify one of DG's ROM to include the Portuguese - Brazil from a leaked (or maybe the source?) for the I9000B (the only one so far I know has pt_BR).

You may disregard the question but I had to try :D
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
=> ROM only
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Crap... I was hoping for a kernel solution. I'll probably have to dig deeper than I thought at first.

Not sure if I even want to go down that road. Somehow I feel I'd need to pretty much replace every apk with the version that has pt_BR included =\
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
Would you care to enlighten us ?

I for one am very curious of your opinion about this .... as this is what most ppl think of this :

Well XDA added the donation button you can blame them if you will but please dont blame the devs especially :

They take donations too , they are no different .

I apologize if Im ranting your philosophy here but the little I know about Supercurio , he s the O in Open source ..

just my 2 cents /.

Money talks bull**** walks ,Saddly what stands in the end is all that counts , I thank you in advance for all your dedication .

/end rant ( sorry for hijacking the thread )
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Did anyone see that they released the gingerbread source code?

Sent from my bullet proof phone
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
I think we should not argue about semantics. Here's a cold hard fact; Supercurio has a motive for developing stuff for us. Done. What is it? It doesn't matter, nobody just does something for absolutely no reason at all, and no matter how much of a saint we all are, we're in it for ourselves one way or another.

DONE. Now let's get back to breaded gingers.
[Captivate Android Development] vapor311:
better question...

is it ready yet?

lol
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
since yesterday ;)
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
You work fast sir. Very fast indeed. Awesome, can't wait to test it out! I R EXCITEEEEE
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Wow. You must be joking, if not....wow.
[Captivate Android Development] brocabortzfield:
Do you need anyone to help test?
[Captivate Android Development] DarkDvr:
Guys, let him work, he'll tell us when there's something to tell =)
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
It's important to remember that there are a lot of Captivate users on XDA who could care less about this drama stuff and do support/appreciate any work done by any person for any reason. The devs at XDA could probably make more money by working at McDonald's for $8.50 an hour. Donations only count for so much.

I am extremely excited for a pending 2.3 port on the Captivate... good luck to supercurio and DG!
[Captivate Android Development] yungstar89:
Exactly. No one has the right to say anything to the devs if it's not supportive. They all work to give us something for free. They don't have to, but they do. Motives shouldn't even be discussed because they are of no concern to us. We just want some gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
ill take cherry on top please
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
QFT. This isn't a forum for middle aged women who want something to do while they swiffer the living room and watch Days of our Lives. Supercurio, and all of the developers on XDA do great things for us, who cares why they do it? It's not about the process, it's about the result.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Watch out what you say about middle aged women, we're not all swiffering the living room and watching soaps ;)
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
o man the anticipation is killing me
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
I think this is what gives rise to all the drama. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
I beg to differ, sir! Although I am not middle-aged...I do flash my phone between swiffer seshes and episodes of Dexter! :D
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Anyway I'm proud of my motivations, even if some people got it wrong ;)

Free software FTW!
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I'm not a coder but looks to me developing and releasing a custom ROM or Kernel is just like publishing a research paper. That's how progress in any fields of science is released to the scientific community. Notoriety will come if you did an excellent job or made a fool of yourself. If the work is significant, then you deserve the success and should be rewarded with better opportunities.

Thank for all your efforts Supercurio. I think you can get where you want.
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
hey don't let these guys talk you down, getting a job at google is a hell of an achievement.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I haven't a single clue as to why anyone is harassing/insulting/bothered by curio's motivations. curio provided a lot of quality to our devices and is probably one of the most pleasant people I've talked to. If he wants to work for google, and that's his motivation for working so hard, good on him. If he wants to attempt to eek out a living purely on donations, good on him as well.

who cares why anyone does anything, as long as it isn't malicious. and curio is the LAST person I would expect anything malicious from. I really don't know why anyone would lambast each other on these forums, each person does their own thing for whatever reason they desire. Hell, some people release things because they did it purely for themselves and thought to themselves "maybe someone else could get something useful out of this."

Just be glad we have people like supercurio who work hard and try their damnedest to work with anyone who is willing to try. There are plenty of other people in just the Captivate section of our forums that people just don't get credit to for whatever reason. Unhelpful, xcalibur, atinm, glitterballs, and setrion with their kernels. GTG and Reefer and inku for their modifying of samsung's interface. Designgears, Axura team, and other groups (sorry if I'm leaving you out, I've been a bit out of the loop lately) who release these neatly packaged zip's for us and make all of our lives easier.

basically, there's no reason to criticize anyone here in these forums. don't like their work (or motivations)? don't use their stuff. end of discussion. xda should be a place where you encourage the things you like and just leave the things you don't well enough alone.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
I wasn't harassing or insulting him and neither was anyone else unless I missed something. I said I respect his goal, but was unsure about his motives. Then I went on a rant about the nature of some xda-devs in general (not directed at Supercurio). Anyways, he already cleared things up in this thread and I don't think any of us have anything against him. We were mostly just bummed because we thought Supercurio was abanding i9000 development for the Nexus S and it sucks to see a productive dev move to another community.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
YES!
[Captivate Android Development] jwolfburg:
quit the drama, let the men work and the roms flow!
[Captivate Android Development] supercurio:
Don't worry, for a simple reason:

Nexus S = Galaxy S ;)

− at least within my area of expertise: screen, sound, filesystems, kernel stuff −
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
So I was just at Best Buy playing with the Nexus S. Wanted to buy it but they were sold out, but played with the demo unit. That thing is sick. The sales guy was laughing cause I was comparing my phone with the Gningerbread theme to the S. Anyways, hopefully we get some roms going because I really don't want to spend 500 bucks right now. Thanks Supercurio for all your work so far. FYI, that thing is fast.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
good luck and be safe!( the oven gets HOT!)

just take your time and ignore haters.

HATERS GONNA HATE
[Captivate Android Development] baxim:
Port to captivate or all galaxy s?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Plus you would be spending $500 for a phone that will only get the edge network on AT&T....:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
Don't give in! Don't give in! Our time will come soon! haha :D
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Yeah, that's why I was going to jump ship to T-mobile, so 300 to get out of my contract and 200 for the phone. Kinda over AT&T.

But if I can keep my Cappy and get a rom at least based on Gingerbread, I would be a happier camper.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Looks like Supercurio got it to boot! Mad props.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Maybe I will be saving myself 500 bucks. Go Curio!!!
