Is there a reason why the dev community cannot get behind cyanogenmod and still get donated to? Is there some kind of politics involved that will not allow this relationship? I just think I would like to see the effort into one project that is solid, without all the themes and "personal" touches you see with everything else.

In a word it doesnt seem like much progress is being made, except for some screenshots from the dude and an alpha build from eugene. If Eugene, Som, Codeworkxs thedudesandroid, and the rest of the vibrant devs worked on a gingerbread based cyanogenmod, it would benefit everyone.

Move me, flame me, just dont one line answer me.

Ideologies differ. Work ethics differ. I think a move like this would be destined to fail.

Have you personally experienced both Macnut and Nero? Both ROMS are outstanding. I think the more fragmented the ROMS are, the more ideas, experiments, and innovation will occur. I think to push devs to a single common platform would be both stifling and detrimental to the android modding community as a whole.

Besides, all the devs have the same problem... Drivers. Until we start seeing Gingerbread leaks, all devs would have the same stumbling block anyway, whether they are working as one, or separately.
[Vibrant General] angryPirate12:
i'm fairly certain all CM ROMs have been halted and work has been pushed to CM7.0 Gingerbread based. With the Nexus S (NS) being the same thing with a few minor difference to all the other SGS phones and the NS source being openly available for people, we should see a true Gingerbread CM ROM for all the SGS phones once they figure out the necessary changes to make our variants work. This time it should be easier, thanks to all the Devs who came before and figured out Samsung's ass-backwards way of doing things.

Time and patience will reward with the greatest Android ROM the world has ever seen!
[Vibrant General] bobbbb:
This makes me moist.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
my question for you, is why does it have to be cyanogenmod? Youre asking all devs to collaborate to come up with one big super-ROM, yet it will still only be under the name of one developer, Cyanogen?? This doesnt make much sense.

So basically what youre asking is, since you PERSONALLY would prefer to run cyanogenmod on your phone, you want all other Vibrant devs to concede their own projects to assist your personal favorite developer with his project??

Why doesnt CM help with a new Team Whiskey ROM?? If your answer is because CM is more popular and has more development-power in the Android world, then you have answered your own question in regards to the "politics" that may be behind it.

I feel a lot of people (not necessarily the OP) just seek the "cyanogenmod" title to their ROM, without even really knowing what it is. They just hear the name thrown around all over the place and want to feel like they are in the loop; which is just mindless, in my opinion.

Its great to have several devs, with several different projects. It gives the average user (non-dev) options, and different things to choose from and try.

If you went to a car show, and every car had the same exact engine in it, what would be interesting in that??
[Vibrant General] drmosh:
what a communist suggestion
[Vibrant General] golmar88:
I, personally, love that there are many diff ROM's to choose from. I love having that variety. I prefer <tw> ROM's, just because they theme it pretty much how I would theme a ROM (and they scream), If I was even remotely capable of Dev'ing. Eugene makes an awsome ROM too, But not to my personal taste. On my G1 I always used cm ROM's, but the way they work at this point that's not possible for a Vibrant. So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad they're not all concentrating on one ROM because we would still be waiting... stuck with RFS :eek:!
[Vibrant General] Matarick:
I just want that Cyanogen bluetooth stack on a regular (sans Touchwiz) Galaxy S rom with TV out. The Bluetoouth stack is the only reason why I am using Cyanogen outside of the speedy OS.
[Vibrant General] dsuycott:
I get what you mean but I have to say that I love flashing different devs roms & kernels, I would hate to be slave to one idea...I could have gone iOs for that.....get it iOs 4! I kill myself sometimes...

vibrant

GingerR2JL4
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Agreed. It seems to be the "you want what you can't have" theory. It's going to be funny when there is finally a CM ROM and all these same ppl that wanted it are going to wonder why CM is so plain looking and isn't themed up. It's an endless cycle. CM offers support to multiple devices, which gets their name out there. But I can promise you if you've ran ROMs such as Nero + voodoo, even the best running CM isn't going to "blow it away" in performance, maybe some fun features, but that'll about do it.
[Vibrant General] Obi_Kwiet:
I'm satisfied with TWs stuff. All I'm hoping for is that we can get drivers written to do our own ASOP roms, so we can one day have 2.3 and beyond.
[Vibrant General] Mookie_Jones:
im curious about this as well and being that i have no clue, i feel completely authorized to put in my .02 that i thought the primary reason we dont have cm for the galaxy was due to lack of aosp/drivers...
[Vibrant General] d33dvb:
LOL, you sad bunch of folks think I have never flashed a rom on the vibrant? Sure I have, but they are all roms based off of samsuck files, with a theme pushed on top. This requires some skill and understanding, but it does not make you a "ROM D3V"

I am not in any way trying to push everyone to cyanogenmod, I am trying to get the "real devs" to work on things like GPS drivers and such as a whole, to benefit everyone, you think the tricks we learn as a group you cannot then use as an individual? You cannot say I am communist (lmao) because I want the devs to work together, I suppose that what people say about XDA is true, the users who are flaming me make it unbearable to have a real conversation. I mean just look there are several "FANBOY" posts already, and we are on post 13. No wonder the real devs ficking hate XDA. The sole reason I personally like cyan is because of the testing that it goes through, to make sure embarrassing bugs dont happen often. He has developed a rom for my G1, then both my Mytouch's and just miss running it on my vibrant, thats all. My G1 is sitting here running CM 6.1.0 and my phone still sits here on Ginger Clone, the best there is right now.

FYI when there was lack of drivers on the Dream/Magic someone re-wrote them, mmkay?
[Vibrant General] ryangera:
It has always seemed that the devs share fairly well. While they don't work together on one project, they share what is needed and form teams of likeminded people to push out better and better products. If you want to see what happens when you get everyone together and make them all focus on one big new release look at samsung itself. These small teams can operate with greater freedom to build and release mods and roms as they see fit. Xda is about sharing info and improving our machines. Would we really want to have gingerbread today without all the options and flavors that different dev teams put together. If you say yes, that's fine, but I like the variety and am happy to wait for what's next.
[Vibrant General] mindaika:
CM is not really comparable to the XDA devs' ROMs. CM is a complete ground-up build from AOSP. Nero, Macnut, etc are not; they are mods of existing unofficial Samsung ROMs. (Not to imply that Eugene/Sombionix et al's work is anything less than quality).
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Yeah, that's the thing. The skill set involved in getting AOSP (and the rest of CM) building properly is a different skill set than modifying a Samsung released ROM.

The approaches are almost entirely opposite - whereas most ROMs here take what the vendor provides and replace the junky bits with stuff that works better, the AOSP-based ROMs such as CM start from a bare bones google source repository that never had any of that junk to begin with.

Both approaches have their merits. As should be obvious by now, the former results in much more rapid progress since you can start right away with a working build from Samsung. The latter approach can take substantially longer, since you don't have a working base to start from (especially with a device like the SGS, which has hardware very different from most CM-supported devices).
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Eugene had an AOSP 2.1 rom pretty well built. Needed some kinks worked out, but there didn't seem to be a lot of interest because all everyone wanted was froyo. I'm sure we're probably see at least a couple of AOSP efforts if/when froyo officially drops.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yep, codeworkx and the CMSGS team have stopped worked on 6.1 and (along with Supercurio and others) are working on an AOSP Gingerbread port for SGS.

It makes sense--no point in continuing to try to build a 2.2 without source when the 2.3 source is already out.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Most people here are not flaming you, they are disagreeing with you....theres a very big difference. and if you feel people are flaming you, ignore them. Although if you knew it was coming, then its kind of on you for posting in the first place>>>>>>>>

Im not saying theres anything wrong with you starting this thread, i like the debate, just dont come out and SAY youre probably going to get flamed, cause that just invites it.

----------------------------------------------

Im not trying to be a wiseass....but how does this help us Vibrant users?

---------------------

I still think that you conceived the idea for your OP out of impatience in regards to CM not being released for the Vibrant. I mean, obviously, I could be wrong, but read over it yourself (without editing it) and you may see what im talking about. I mean youre talking about fanboys, but thats the tone your OP gives off. It basically sounds like you are saying that you want CM to be released for the Vibrant, and all devs should concede their own projects and assist CM>>>>

I mean, i see your frustration i guess, seeing as though CM isnt getting the Vibrant job done on their own :eek:......but not everyone wants cyanogenmod, so let everyone do their own thing. how would you not want to have choices as opposed to one single universal CM ROM??? well, maybe a fanboy would, i guess......
[Vibrant General] d33dvb:
You are missing the point entirely, What I mean is that if the Devs at least communicated things that would benefit ALL ROM makers and source builders. Some people are super good at decompiling / rewriting hardware code, and I only meant that it would be nice if people would stop theming roms long enough to work on a solid think tank problem, it just seems like the vibrant community is a cold dark place, whereas the dream/sapphire community seemed warm and fuzzy. There were lots of roms, hell I hardly ran cyanogen, but cyanogen set the bar, and set it high.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shigga:
I bought a focus on craigslist which I am assuming was the store demo because after a minute the demo comes up. Is there a way to get rid of this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I think you have to flash the stock focus rom to get it out of demo mode. Have you tried to hard reset?

Did you get a box and all accessories for that phone? If not it was probably stolen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
you are *****

for the moment you are F***** there is no rom to flash .

you can do 2 things :

1, gif it back to the seller .

2, Take your loss , and buy a new one from a shop .
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I think you are right. I haven't seen any stock focus ROMs floating around. And I doubt a carrier or samsung would be much help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shigga:
I tried to do a factory restore using zune thinking it would work like itunes restore but it just gives me an error. Guess I'll have to be patient and hope a rom shows up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
yes , and Samsung is right to not leak a rom :) , or help :)

you can do as much hard resets as you want but the only thing that will help is a new rom and that isn't leaked .
[Windows Phone 7 General] kawgirlval69:
guys... think.... craigslist+demo mode=.... come on....

99.9% probability of it being stolen... best bet is to take it to att and see if they reward him....
[Windows Phone 7 General] VonCrisp:
You might be in luck. There are Omnia 7 roms and apparently the boys over at the Hacking and Development section have managed to make roms destined for HTCs devices work with Samsung. I cant quite recall the details.

You would be better off asking over there!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rd5150:
recently ive sent a few messages and received replies from numbers ive never seen before. this happen to anyone else?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyjohn:
Its happened to me before. I was on the stock rom that came with my eris and i had installed chomp from the market. The three numbers that responded where from: 2 from mexico and 1 from Utah. I uninstalled chomp and then installed handcent and it happened again. And it would also happen once in a while with my default sms program the phone came with. But once i rooted and installed a custom ROM i have had no such problems any more but i have not tried the 2 above programs again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stealth1985:
I have a BELL DZ which I unlocked, rooted and did s-off. I then flashed it with Paul O'briens sense ROM but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Looking through the development section I notice that pretty much every thread gives very basic instructions on how to flash the ROM but some really make it difficult for a n00b such as myself to understand.

What is de-odexed and what does it do? What is zip-aligned? Many of the ROMs don't say if they are for G2 or DZ. Some of the threads are 200+ pages and it's impossible to find out if there are issues with the ROM quickly and easily.

All I want is to have the following:

-Overlocked to 1.4ghz (or near)

-Wake via trackpad button

-no normal functions broke (wifi, data etc.)

-Sense

-Bloatware removed

-No issues with battery life

Am I better with a stock ROM? Is there a way to get the OC and trackpad button thing without flashing a custom ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey:
alright i am here to help sir. while i do have a tmobile g2, the phone is exactly the same and i believe that the roms work for either phone.

1. if you are going to go with a sense rom, i would HIGHLY suggest going with Virtuous ROM. it is a combined effort with the wonderful devs of rmk and eViL D. the updates and patches are always coming, and the rom is nearly perfect. the thread is awesome and your answer is almost always going to be answered. one of the more favorite things about this is the kernel choices that is offered through rom manager and is always up to date with an update, or patches. there are 5 kerne choices that one allows up to 1.501 GHZ. if there is a problem with the rom there WILL be a fix for it.

2. and of course there is cyanogen. i do in fact love stock android, but i stick with the ROM above because i am really digging sense and all of its goodies. cyanogen has limitless possibilities with custimzations and stuff to make it your own. and always have the options of flashing tons of themes and stuff from people who make them, where there is zero themes going for the virtuous roms.

and to repsond to your waking with trackpad and such, there isnt a way to maintain that with just stock. you would have to flash the cyanogen bacon bits that allows it(i believe) which can be found in ROM manager and is easily flashable. either way you cannot go wrong with whatever you choose, but its all about what you prefer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KidJethro:
Another recommendation for a Virtuous sense rom. I'm running the 8.1 currently...it satisfies all the requirements on your list.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stealth1985:
Thanks guys, going to look into the virtuous ROM. Would it be recommended to wipe my phone to go with the Virtuous ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bronz_Most:
Are you using Rom Manager to do this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Yes everytime you switch from one ROM to another you must do a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) in order to avoid any issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Any of the custom ROMs should work fine on both the G2 and the DZ (unless the thread on the ROM specifically says otherwise), after all they are the same phone. The keyboard mapping is the only real different you'd notice, so this might need tweaking of the ROM doesn't automatically handle it.

As I understand it, apps that have been de-odexed, have effectively been put back in one piece so they can be more easily modified by the developer. Normally the apps are odexed, and have had some extra optimisation done to them which makes them hard to modify.

Zip-aligned is supposed to save RAM, I think ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cwirth7:
I for one am another upvote for Virtuous 8.1 Smooth as silk.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nitro70044:
Rom manager will not work on my g2.I always get the red triangle. And have to pull the battery. How can I just start over.by the way I am rooted well I believe so.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
I'd definitely recommend wiping. You can always back up your current ROM and everything else, so no worries.

Another +1 for Virtuous. Cyanogen was awesome and very fast, but Virtuous is as well. I can't get away from the social phonebooks either and the HTC Sense Facebook and Twitter integration is phenomenal. I thought I'd ditch it without looking back but I was sadly mistaken.

Virtuous wasn't slower as I expected either. It's very fast and very stable. I usually run around 1-1.2GHz with the conservative setting in SetCPU with only a couple profiles, mainly just one for things to cool down when the screen is locked. Works great and my battery is loving it too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lucas155:
I've heard that none of the current ROMs support 4G. Is this true? ...and if so how much speed decrease do you guys notice?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Flash the clockwork recovery TWICE. That did it for me ;)

I'm getting HSPA+ speeds on CM6 so we definitely do :)

[General Questions and Answers] vic_msn:
Hello

I recently purchased a Samsung Focus from the US.

How do I unlock the device so that I can use it in my home network ?

I searched the forums and the only solution seems to buy unlock code from a eBay seller.

Is there any other better/cheaper alternative ?

Also what will this ChevronWP7 tool do ? Its just to unlock so that I can install external apps not via the Microsoft Marketplace ?

I am a .NET developer and would like to explore the WP7 features and build few apps.

So in that case is it recommended that I apply the ChevronWP7 patch ?

TIA.
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Did you pay full price for the Phone? i think at&t should provide it for free, unless its a Exclusive device, then you need to go Ebay
[General Questions and Answers] vic_msn:
actually i got it from a seller in eBay. He said its without contract but not unlocked.

So if I contact AT&T will they give the unlock code ?

the one seller in eBay who provides these unlock codes charges too much now $42.

How good is this FastGSM anyone tried ? searched on youtube too.

Infact that youtube video comes first when you search for "unlock samsung focus"

Any one tried that ?
[General Questions and Answers] M_T_M:
Just contact AT&T and ask for the code,,,they will give it to you free ;)
[General Questions and Answers] vic_msn:
oh great..in that case what details I need to provide them to get the code ?

TIA.
[General Questions and Answers] Darklytinted:
The phone must be ATT branded, otherwise it may not be in their database.

You need the IMEI of the phone, press *#06# and it will display. You also need to have their service for over 90 days (Go Phone is fine.) When asked for a reason tell them your going abroad (I say England or China) and want to use a local sim card. The process can take awhile. You likely need a non ATT sim card to enter the code.
[General Questions and Answers] vic_msn:
yes the phone is AT&T branded. But I haven't used their services.

Is it possible for a current AT&T customer to get the code for this phone ?
[General Questions and Answers] Darklytinted:
If your a new to them then no, you need to wait 90 days. If you have been an active customer over 90 days they will give you one unlock code a year. You do not need to have used that phone with them 90 days to get the code, its just that you need to be a customer for at least 90 days.

Its cheaper not to take a contract and just go with an eBay code if you plan to use another service.
[General Questions and Answers] vic_msn:
my relative in the US has been a using a iPhone for a long time from AT&T with contract. So in that case I should be able to get a unlock code from AT&T ?

TIA.
[General Questions and Answers] Darklytinted:
I would think so. Give him the phones info and have him call, once he has the code and gives it to you, you just need to slip in a non ATT sim and it should ask for the code.
