So I've been reading around about the status of the Cyanogen mod port for the GSII. I'm switching to sprint this week and will love to have CM7.
Last I read was that Kush had the phone and is making the recovery work for the phone and then he was going to hand it off to other devs.
Now come the idea. Wouldn't it be easier if the devs had 2 phones so different teams or devs and work on it simultaneously so for example teamhacksung can port CM7 over while kush or someone else is doing there thing.
That's why I propose a pot to get the devs another phone so they know we aren't a community of deadbeats.
I'd be happy to donate $20 - possibly more if funds allow (I'm in college)
Anyone else?
good idea, i got $25 on it
They wouldn't take the money...

nope, but if someone bought a phone with the money, they'd take the phone in a heartbeat.

Why not. Well you probably can't speak for them but it's like a donation and they take those?

someone did this for a nook color when it first came out and that worked. not sure of specifics but it did indeed bring CM7 to it.

Yeah, devs really avoided CM7 and Miui until just recently. Got a Nexus to go with my ET4G and had CM7 and Miui on it within an hour...very different experience

I am new to Samsung, I came from an HTC phone. Over on the EVO3d there was tons of roms and themes second bootloader was unlocked. Was just wondering how it is on this side. I miss flashing things lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It seems like that, but in reality the phone was out for a month almost before it was unlocked. The devs had plenty of time to play with the contents of the phone.
This phone has been out like a week.
Woaah buddy, gotta be careful with what you say here.
Anyways, I came from the HTC evo 4g community which has been around a lot longer than this one. But still, it took a month or two to get things going.
I mean the 3D just got root like a month ago. I think progress here is going swimmingly. Just give a few more weeks.
We probably wont have the sheer quantity u are used to, but i assure you we will have plenty of high quality roms and themes.
I wasn't being negative. Was just wondering what developers are on this phone and what kind Samsung has. What I mean by not much of community is not many roms yet. If anyone thought I meant disrespect I'm sorry.

Well cyanogen now works for Samsung so what does that tell you about who Samsung has? ;-) I think Samsung is trying to turn its rep around.
I also came from the evo 3d and am very happy with the switch. Sure the evo 3d has a lot of roms but a lot of them are the same ****.. and there aren't too many "real" devs on the evo 3d.. a majority of them are just cooks who ran the stock rom through a kitchen just adding tweaks. Hell empire who clams to be a dev didn't write a single line of code. Just mashed up other peoples work

It SHOULD be stressed that only the founder Steve Kondik was hired, NOT Cyanogen as a whole. The team continues on, business as usual. Just to clarify
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's only been a week. I would rather have the devs take their time and release something solid and better than a themed stock ROM but that takes time... especially if it's thoroughly tested. It seems like a new trend to release ROMs with a few hours of testing so little things pop up like an apk missing or a function force closes. I will try ptfdmedic's ROM when it releases because I know his work from using it on my Epic. I am sure the devs are in the lab building masterpieces as we speak.

I do have to say this phone is amazing. I am so happy I made the switch from the E3D. Can't wait to see what this community can do.
Also isn't the cyanogen rom for the European galaxy S2?

I want to see this ported already got the ok from the developer.
themikmik.com/showthread.php?7841-Theme-09-20-11-Blue-Glass-(V2.5.4)-for-Mik-2.5x
It'll take a bit but I'm certain we'll see increased activity soon.
First, based on comments, a good many probably just got their phones if they ordered from 3rd party vendors. Especially Let's Talk.
Secondly, the transition may take some getting used to. Going from OG Evo to 3D was primarily the same software. In fact, many probably worked with it with their OG Evo before they got the 3D. So now they have to "get to know" Touch Wiz, Odin, etc.

We'd be happy to have you join us on our REWARDS thread. We're currently up to $667 in pledges (which yours would be added to).
Even more exciting is the latest report from ACS Developers which you'll find on page 14 of our thread. They are making lightspeed progress!

Unfortunately that report is only in relation to the NS4G port, far as I know there is no progress made on the ET4G

UBER NOOB QUESTION, yes i know.
As the title suggests, I have no idea what phone I have lol.
Got it through sprint as Galaxy SII. Well I google that and it does NOT look like my phone. My phone looks more like the "Epic 4G Touch". Then I thought that just MAYBE they are the same phone.
BUT
What makes things more confusing is that there are different forums here for each phone, and I am not sure if I should be looking at the Galaxy SII forums OR Epic 4g Touch!?
If you got it from Sprint and its a GS2 ... you're in the right forums

I don't buy any of it. Any leak we got thus far was because they wanted us to unofficially test. No one risked their job. When they want us to test the next build we will get it. Just like sextapes ID was created at time of leak another one will be created. No reason to apologize in hopes of getting a leak. Be thankful for the leaks we had and the time our devs put in to make them installable daily drivers
