Develop Bugs

CyanogenMod 9 is coming...

Like many of you, I'm sure, I jump around XDA and browse different forums for anything interesting. This particular one... put a smile on my face. Happy to start seeing some public releases on this.

i already have CM9 installed on my old I9000
is fun to play around with, but not ready for prime time, because a lot of the Android Market apps that i use on a daily basis are not compatible yet with ICS
so it's going to be a long painful wait before being able to enjoy ICS fully, even if it becomes available for our T989

i agree. prolly best to just get a new ICS device if you want that. but.. it's still good to see the evolution of software.

eehhhhhh... what does that has to do with getting a new hardware?
the current hardware are perfectly fine, just the programmers needs to get their things together and make sure their software are ICS compatible

There's quite a few devices with cm9 alphas already. We wont be waiting to long to see it on our phone.

Even the g2x has a alpha version of cm9 working since Thanksgiving night so I'm sure this phone will have it soon. Also this is my first Samsung smartphone I am hoping Samsung does a little better than LG when it comes to updates and support for their phone. The g2x was a nightmare thank God I had one of the few g2x's that did not have all the bugs.

I thought it was common knowledge that CM9 was being developed. No?

This thread is a fail. What does Nexus S development have anything to do with the GS2 ICS rom? They are entirely different chipsets.

like allgamer said until apps become more compatible gingerbread is probably better for everyday use right now. I don't really see the big deal and rush in getting ICS.

Thanks. Added to my feed for updates.

It would be cool if/when it becomes possible for our phones to multi-boot or at least a savvy developer creates a VMWare-esque app or any other way for any other way for us to use multiple ROMs simultaneously without the need to backup, wipe, flash, repeat for each different ROM we wanna try. For example, this would be useful for us to try out a ROM that's not daily driver-ready without wiping our daily driver. Just a thought...

ICS Question

Alright sorry to post this ridiculously noob question to ask, but whats the current word on an ICS port for the Epic. In no way am I asking for an eta, and I'm not trying to rush any devs, I'm just purely asking because i haven't seen much through searching the inter-webs and the only thread on it here got closed due to some arguments.

The inter-webz & general thread aren't the place to look.
Check out the development section for the E4GT. There has been a port of the latest SGSII international ICS but we do not have a working kernel. Dev's are working on it and there is no ETA.

There are a couple of reports of different devs working on ICS but nothing usable yet. We don't even have cm7 do to a mix of arrogance, naivety, and politics.
However, my gut feeling says we are included as part of the official launch of CM9.

not quite true. We have a very well working cm7 kang. Only thing missing from it is GPS and a few minor bugs. It even has 911 calling patch. Just not on xda because of as you said politics. Its up on another big dev board though.

I've tried the kang and I liked it but it was too unstable to be my daily driver. I should say we don't have official CM7 but hopefully the Android community will band to together and give us CM junkies our sweet, sweet fix.

[Q] CM9 - Explain it to me like I'm an idiot.

I was at Lifehacker the other day and there was a post about someones homescreen. Turns out the person was on a Galaxy S and running CM9. That just seems wrong to me.
Cyanogenmod seems to list the Galaxy SII without distinguishing between the models. I realize that the Hercules is different from other flavors of SGII.
Is Hercules the only odd model or are other SGII users left out in the cold?
What enables someone who has an Galaxy I to run CM9 and not us?
Thanks for walking me through it.

It all has to do with having proprietary drivers which for that source is needed. CM9 is based on ICS and since we don't yet have an official release of ICS for the T989 we don't have CM9

Thanks for the search tip; I've searched for CM9 in our threads but I still don't get it. What are we and cyanogen waiting for and who is responsible for producing it?
As I'm sure you know we have a skyrocket (T989) version of ICS out there but that isn't what we need. We need... an official release? These proprietary drivers have to come from T-Mobile? Thanks for being more specific.

XDA devs and Cyanogen are waiting for ICS to drop. Samsung and carriers are responsible for the hold up. Samsung could release source so devs could build a proper kernel and rom but carriers are obsessed with bloating OTA's,which is why we have to wait. Skyrocket's ICS is not from source rather a leak. From my understanding, its a leak precompiled rom that can be manipulated in ways but are limited in others (the details for that I am unsure).

You dont post things to "let people know" in the development section dude. There's a General section for that. There is no development going on here so how would it even equate to be considered as development? It doesn't. Please follow XDA rules or don't post. Thanks.

Nice to see you here!

I agree with Howard Johnson agreeing with Howard Johnson.

Why is everyone tripping. Now i really love my SGS2 family. No one from our thread actually complained about my earlier release warning lol. I and we never got hassle. People actually was grateful to know that they have time to prepare for a rom. So they could have their backups in order. Thanks for letting us no this. And i support 100% and if anyone thinks im just some random im not. Actually im about to port all of my roms from SGS2 to 3 and when i tell yall i really dont care if u complain about my early warning. I BET YOU STILL FLASH IT!!!!! LOL

Now I have to decide if I should stay on CM10 or go back to the MIUI I love. I'm really digging how smooth Jelly Bean is, and Google Now is awesome. But then, MIUI is where I feel most comfortable UI-wise. This will be a tough decision until MIUI moves to JB.

That's what I was thinking at first, but after using CM10, it manages to be a smoother experience for me. I especially like that the XDA Premium app no longer has problems. I also prefer the new notification bar over the TW bar.
None of this really matters in CM10 vs. MIUI, though. It'll be a tough choice.

Samsung Source + Jelly Bean Source = E4GT 4.1 Roms?

Sorry if this is a retarded question, but since Samsung dropped the 4.0 source for our phone, and JB 4.1 source code was released, does this mean that people can start compiling fully functional Jelly Bean roms for the epic 4g touch?
If so, is anyone working on one?

You've got it wrong. The samsung source that was released is ICS kernel source. That doesn't really mean much for jelly bean.
There is work being done to try to port it nonetheless.

I thought that you can run roms on older kernels...for example, CM9 is currently running on a GB kernel. Since 4.0 and 4.1 don't have as big of a coding jump, couldn't you run 4.1 on a 4.0 kernel?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

the first couple of ICS ALPHA builds i think was running a hacked together GB kernel, then when the first leaks of ICS drop for our phones thats when the devs started using the pre build kernels that came in the leak ROMs. ICS and JB still uses a 3.0 kernel so from the source that was release devs can make JB ROMs for our phone from it, thats what CM devs have been doing to get preview builds of JB/CM10 on some phones. anyone can correct me if am wrong because am still learning about these stuff lol....but i think thats it.

well team hacksung just released a preview of JB for the international gs2. So that means that they are making progress on it and it must'nt be all that much of a change from cm9 to cm10. as JB has been out for what, almost a month now. and some people are getting cm10 previews, alphas and betas. so it must not be that big of a change in kernels. Of course i could be completely wrong in all of this, just IMO. well probably have cm10 sooner than we all think. our devs are awesome.

+1 Well there is a difference of radios but I also dont understand how minor differences can make it so difficult to port from. You would think with the exception of radios & different key mapping that the architecture of both phones are exact, but then again I'm not a dev so there's probably some factor in there I'm missing.

The screen size is a minor difference. But, cdma and GSM radio is the big issue when it comes to porting anything from the international to us. At least that's the impression I get from the many threads I read.

Ive been wrong before. i was wrong 3 times before lunch. im just speculating. whenever we get it is good for me. its ready when its ready.

Lets not forget half of our AOSP Developers do not even have this phone or acquired/reacquired the phone after the fact and do not have service on the device. Darchstar is no longer with Sprint and bought another E4GT with donations. Chris41G does not have the phone at all apparently.
