Do cyanogen ever complete a rom?

Every rom I see by that team is always a alpha version I have yet to see a fully completed rom by that team.

or CM6, CM5 etc...

A better question would be is a rom ever complete? There will always be bugs that are found that do need to be fixed just like Android in general it's never really "done" there are always updates to it that fix things.

What gingerbread rom do they have for our phone. Looking to try them out.

Well you do realize that our phone is CDMA, Proprietary code is not available for some of the hardware which greatly increases the time it takes to develop our phones ports.
If you like the idea of a Complete CyanogenMod you should grab an international GSM phone preferably a stock AOSP device. You will have a "complete" rom alot faster than you ever will with a sprint device.
The OG epic only became officially supported not long ago.

There is no "official" GB rom from CM for this phone. Rootzwiki has an "unofficial" CM7.1/2 that's no longer supported however. We are getting "official" CM9 and the Alpha 1 is in the Dev section.

Lol wut? Is this your first android device?

I was told that the Alpha 1 wasn't official.?

There are at least 3 or 4 Cyanogenmod attempts for our phone, isn't that a set team that always develops or can anyone attempt a Cyanogenmod? Don't understand how there can be multiple Cyanogenmod ROMs for our phone?

I think you mean to say there are multiple AOSP-based (original ICS w/o Touchwiz) ROMs for our phone.
Sbrissen and Darchstar are currently working on CM9 for our phone.
T.C.P. has released AOKP, Gummy, and Codename Android for our phone.

Anyone is free to take the CM code and build their own ROM. That's the beauty of open source. All they ask is that such derivative builds are labeled as kangs or otherwise make note that they are using CM9's codebase.
Anyone can become a member of CM if they do good work such as committing bug fixes to the project and take a role in supporting CM on a particular device
Darchstar's build should be considered the "official" CM9 build for our phone. He's part of the CM team. However, until he or others are able to build a working kernel from source for the E4GT and not use Samsung's we won't have a truly CM9 build.

No rom is complete without official ice release.. they don't even have source for our phones yet for ics. Therefore it cannot be completed.. plus kudos to the person who said it will never be complete based off of bugs plus there are always ways to improve a rom regardless; of how "complete" it is.. would you want a dev to make a rom then never update it? They can't make it official until everything is working..

Nothing is ever finished in android
Notice the carriers always pushing fixes. ICS will probably be updated within a month after official drops.
Just the nature of the beast.

Android has become more and more complex to develop for (both in terms of skill and computing power), and the true developers (not including people who just modify existing roms) have become more spread out across devices.

Development

Is it me or has development for the galaxy s3 slowed down dramatically? Have most of the device switched to another device?

Some devs have moved onto the Note II, while others are still developing. I actually think development is still quite strong for our device. There's over 10 AOSP roms that's been updated since March 1st and there's probably over 10 TW roms updated since March. I helped a friend of mine mod his EVO LTE and I felt like his device was way more limited in ROM selection than ours was.

Not only that, the developers have pretty much everything running smoothly. What exactly needs to be updated? TW ROMs are updated, AOSP ROMs are pretty much all 4.2.2...
Once the S4 drops TW development will pick up, and when 5.0 gets released AOSP will pick up.
Right now, I'm running the latest version of Android with a slew of extra features and no bugs at all. Not much to develop.

LiquidSmooth stable release.

Well I see no reason to continue development like the past if most ROMs are pretty stable already sure when a new update comes every devs will push out updates with whatever is new in stock but other than that ROMs are pretty stable and its best to be left like that. That's just my opinion though.

development is still running strong (Have you seen the changes constantly being made to The People's Rom and Mother of all roms for instance?) I run either of those, and they are always adding new features to please the people who run them. So i don't see development slowed at all. As more things trickle down the pipeline via release or port, from another device, they will get added. Development is strong with this one. :silly:

It not really about quantity but quality. We have both. In feel we and our devices are very fortunate for the people who develop for our phones. There are some amazing ROMs to choose from, and even better developers and their teams doing it. Just to name my favorites depending if you like TW or AOSP

I completely agree, If it's working perfectly, not much really to update.. Little things here and there that folks want added... but overall.. not much you can change really.

Most roms are stable now. Most devs are waiting for the official 4.2 as well. Plus some have moved to the Note2 or getting there hands on the S4.

[Q] Illusion ROM Port to maguro - Possible? Help wanted?

Hey everyone,
So I've been using PA roms for a while now, and the best thing about them (in my opinion) is the Hybrid Settings.
Only problem is, PA sometimes tenses to lag a bit. So Slim Bean would be a good alternative, but sadly this rom doesn't have Hybrid Settings.
Well, here is the rom perfect for the people like me: Based on Slim Bean, with the best of AOSPA and some AOKP features (and many more!), this rom is amazingly fast and has a lot of customization.
I would love to get this rom on my Galaxy Nexus maguro, but I myself have absolutely no idea how to port a rom, so I asked one of the people who develope the rom, $droyd$, if they were planning to port it to our beloved maguro, and he said:
As of now its not planned for the galaxy nexus but it is open source. That being said if you can build it for the galaxy nexus or know someone who can have them contact us and we can see.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this is where I need your help! If there is someone, who knows how to port this rom to our Galaxy Nexus, please help me (and other people). Currently the rom is still in development, so not all the final features are there. It has had it's first official release (sadly without the Hybrid Settings, but they plan to add it back soon) and version 2.0 is on its way, so we have no hurry. But it would be awesome if there would be someone willing to help port this rom to our Galaxy Nexus!
If you want to know more about the rom, here are some links and a video:

YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf-9S1WRxQg
I hope I convinced some of you enough so we can make this happen! Anyway, thanks for listening

Questions should be in Q&A section! Mod should move this into right section soon!
Why you want it to be ported if you may be able to build it from sources?
I'm not sure if that ROM is open sourced to be able build it for maguro,if it is open sourced then just set up building environment on Linux and download sources and then Maguro properiatry files and start building it for Maguro!
No sense to port it because then most of the things wouldn't work!

Thread moved to Q&A section - for future questions please use this section. Android Development is for Development

yep!

Sorry for posting in the wrong place, it was not my intention.
Also, sorry for not knowing the difference between 'porting a rom' and 'compiling it from source', I don't really know much about that.
That being said, I don't know how to compile a rom from source.
So if there is someone willing to compile this rom for our Galaxy Nexus, please let me know!
If not, is there someone who can link me to a good tutorial, so I can try it myself?
Thanks again

Want Illusion Rom
Love the illusion rom !!
The feature list is endless
Can someone please build this ROM !!!!!

Good News
Hey guys,
So the developer of the Nexus 4 Illusion rom just posted this on his Google +:
So I'm debating notice I said debating on supporting galaxy nexus for illusion.. I need to know if there's anyone I can count on to test builds and do it right. providing I can build it..

This is good news! It means he is going to try to support the Galaxy Nexus, given that there are enough people to test the builds, and if he manages to get it working in the fist place. So if you're interested please let me/him know!

I'd test out a toro build!

Android KitKat Release date

Hello,
I saw on developers forum Android KitKat , I installed it and it was not like on picture of google.
So i am wandering When will be official Android 4.4 ?

Our phone won't get the official update. Google has dropped support for the GNEX

Lol, wait couple months you might get a stable unofficial version of kitkat, gnex is old an outdated now so best upgrading to nexus 5 if you want any chance of software updates from now on.

[email protected]!!!!!! its so sucks
thank you ;'D

Man, it doesn't take much effort to make GNex look exactly like the screenshot from Nexus 5. Flash any of those 4.4 unofficial ROMs out there and a proper gapps, and all that's left is your patience to set it up properly. Aside from the lockscreen transparency, everything looks identical to a Nexus 5, I can say.

Paranoid Android

Paranoid Android is probably top 3 of my all time favorite ROMs, my backup nexus 5 just suffered an accident (*silently cries* ) but that lead me to this thought...is there anybody out there who can and is willing to maintain an unofficial build of paranoid android for the note 3?

I've ran PAC, great ROM, but Im actually kinda interested in the new PA feature hover, as well

i'm sure it will be on PAC rom real soon if its in PA beta now

So what if we just flash the one for n9005? With an Aosp compatible kernel.
