[think tank] SmartWifi (UMA/GAN) - Vibrant Android Development

Since T-Mobile has UMA/GAN supported phones, and with the Kineto Wireless guys having a UMA/GAN setup that is compatible with Android (and that they demoed on a Vibrant), is there a possibility that it could be ripped from another device and ported to the Vibrant?
I am not exactly very well versed in what would be required, but I would presume that since it is all a software handoff anyway, I don't see why this wouldn't be theoretically possible. Of course a driver is probably necessary for this, but if they were demoing it on a Vibrant, then maybe this is something that is already built into the radio firmware to support?

I would assume that if its an apparently, we'll be able to pull it and make it work, but it depends on the intricacies of the setup...

I saw an article on tmonews that there will be an OTA for "select new phones" that allows UMA. I have to assume that the Vibrant will be one of those phones.
Now my question is...I'm running a custom ROM, should I switch back to stock to get UMA?
Hopefully one of the devs will be able to capture the .apk after download and integrate it into the new custom ROMs

I'm definitely very interested in this as well! Subscribing to this thread in hopes the apk will be available/extracted soon!

They company that developed this software didn't do it for modder cred, they did it for money. The only way this gets released is if T-mobile pays them for it. Until then don't hold your breath for the apk to get released into the wild.

I'm not expecting it to get released into the wild, I'm expecting it to be sent OTA to all of us with Vibrants. At that point, I imagine that one of the devs might be able to grab it and incorporate it into the custom ROMS.
IANAL, but I doubt it would be illegal, since the only people who would be using it would be the t-mobile customers who were covered under T-Mobile's license...

As mentioned above. Streaming will not work on any current-gen phone (might on the Atrix, due to its updated hardware).
Netflix is "concerned about piracy" (LOLrite?), and will only allow streaming on phones equipped with the newer-generation ARM processors that have hardware DRM implemented. The current hummingbird and snapdragon processors do not.
That sucks. Looking forward to the official release either way.
Damn. I was really hoping to be able to use my phone to pirate netflix content.

Forget ripping, I wouldn't mind getting full use of my paid netflix subscription. Had to buy a wifi blueray player cause Sony is a bunch of douches and got tired of constantly hacking just to keep that app working (the only thing I don't pirate is games lol, but I wanted my homebrew). Maybe one day, on this or another phone....

This whole thing has the smell of an "exclusivity" type of thing to get the LG Revolution off to a good start in terms of sales. Correct me if I am wrong, but the LG is the only 4G phone that has Netflix right now. I assume they did this so it can get a decent jump on sales to compete with the Charge and Thunderbolt... and then when the aura of it wears off, they will make it available for other 4G phones.
If I guessed, I'd say this is why its on lower end phones and older models... but not the Thunderbolt or Charge.
Just notice that the netflix app is in the market place on the thunderbolt and it shows up under supported device...I tried to run it on my stock thunderbolt and I got a drm error...I just hope this means gingerbread is almost here

The Nexus will be out before the month's end, and the source code will drop in the following 2-4 weeks. If someone built it from SDK, they'd have to start it all over again after the source drops.
ya but that means source wont drop till xmas and then by the time someone has a working build moto will be releasing there official build so it doesnt really do anything for us

It might be a fun exercise, and fun to play around with, but sdk ports are buggy and wont have the framework that really makes up ICS. It would basically GB + some ICS features/apps, since all we have access to is some apps and what they ask for

I hope no one is wasting time working on a port from a Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator "ROM" that is incomplete and lacking. SDK's are for app developers to test, not for ROMs to be be made.
Once the source hits....you'll have a better chance of getting ICS, AND a much better and complete ROM.

Just to be clear, I'm not working on an ICS port from the SDK. Sorry :/
While I applaud jellydroid13's enthusiasm, there is still alot of work to be done getting the D3 to be more AOSP friendly. This includes working on getting the audio drivers working correctly, BT updated, overlays which don't have PBUNDERUN events every 30 seconds, camera routines to iron out, etc.
Fixing these issues in Gingerbread where our kernel matches up with the source, gives us a better chance at then migrating working source to a true ICS port later.
There is also a fairly sizable kernel hurdle to jump as well.
Just my 2-cents.
