[Q] No cyanogen 7 ? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As you mayhave noticed the firstcm7 nightlies were released today. But not for DS.
Have we officially been discontinued now?

Well unless someone steps up to do the G1 work i do believe so. As you can see there is a CM7 for Hero, which runs on about the same specs, more Ram, but we have seen the AOSP Gingerbread builds running quite well on G1, so i guess CM could work too.

You need to think before you post. The OP's question was NOT in ANY WAY out of line.

I hope someone like ezterry can help the team.
or maybe someone can port the build to the g1 (from hero?), like for windows mobile devices(cm6 on htc touch pro,hd2,...).

You actually think that a bunch of random crap added into the end of that thread has any valid meaning?
How about you go ask CM himself... oh wait, somebody already has, and he said very specifically that it HAS NOT BEEN RULED OUT, it is just LOW PRIORITY.
Now personally, CM for Dream was never much good. Just way too much bloat for the hardware. Ezterry's work on the dream is much more interesting.

from cyanogenmod forum:
Sorry folks, end of the line on CM6 nightlies for DS; and I have yet to get confirmation of CM7 Nightlies for DS.
Will open new thread if it materializes.
Till then, thread closed

I asked Cyanogen on Twitter and he replied "Its not off the table but its not high priority either" there is hope yet
To be honest it seems liek alot of devs get our donations, buy themselves a better device then forget about the people who donated..This isnt true with cyanogen though he has supported D/S since first cyanogenmod.But is with others it seems

No worries...
Someone will step up and lead the way out of the darkness for us.

AMEN, AMEN

I believe very few are as intimate with the intricacies of the D/S subsystem as Cyanogen. Those that are intimate with it may not feel the need to keep this hardware going. I admit that I'm eternally grateful to all the ROM developers here for all their hard work. Stock G1 is boring as **** and feels so restricted. Ever since I got root on this phone a year+ ago and started flashing ROMs, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders as if I shed the chains of slavery or some **** lol.
Rock on devs!!
Rock on XDA for providing a hub for all this great stuff.

Well it kinda has been almost 3yrs since the G1 came out, its been officially discontinued and people are moving on...But it seems the G1's community just hasn't died yet, I came here to see if 2.3 was available and I was surprised to see the source for it was up. I was a bit hesitant to use 2.3 since 2.2 was really laggy for me, but I'm sure others are happy with 2.2/2.3. But it's good to see that devs are still supporting this device, I wish the slide's community was this active...I actually feel jealous

True enough, although it has only been out for 2.5 years, and it was sold as recently as maybe 1.5 years ago. That means that people will have them under contract for a while longer yet. Plus, we're talking about expensive devices - people aren't necessarily going to want to upgrade them just for the heck of it (FYI - if anybody is upgrade eligible T-Mo has been giving away free-after-rebate G2s recently on their website).

Have you tried the new radio with the extra RAM? It makes a VERY big difference - my G1 is actually pretty decent running 2.2 with it.

I just replaced my MT3G with a HTC Desire (Bravo). I had so much fun, flashing and customising so thanks to everyone at XDA. I was a recieiver of all your hard work and I am thankful for your efforts.
Yeah, its a sad day for me, but all is not lost as I see that the DESIRE has a CM7 branch and some studious person(s) have worked out a way to get CWM running with full system access on the DESIRE. It will start again, but I will buy a new shell/keys for my MT3G, get it back to "new" looking and keep it, for it was the best phone I ever owned - Peter

Thanks for the memories

Let me 1st say a huge thank you to dzo and all the devs I have been following the vouge andoid from .9 - 2.2 from sd loading to nand flashing, from having to boot data in windows defore booting in to android, from the bule keyboard to rouge tools, and it has been a hell of a ride. The vouge was my 1st smart phone and I hated wm6 but android open up new doors, and hacking became a way of life. Im sad to say I was always in the background chicking for the next update, and never more then an end user. But everyone here always made me feel welcomed. I will miss my vouge thank you all for never letting it die and taking it places I never dreamed. I will miss all of you the most
however all things must come to an end, and im moving on with my new toy. I just picked a samsung galaxy s and will be joining that group. Thank you all again for last 2 years
Nate
Can we get a hip-hip hooray?
It's alright, boy. Some day most of us will move to another device. By the way, how did you get your Samsung Galaxy S? I want one used and cheap

I must say, going from my tilt with 2.2 to the sgs with 2.1 was a little bit of a disappointment but it's a great phone. Although I wish the community was as great as this one was.

hey Mssmison are you doing any development for SGS
i have the Verizon Fascinate and i know you are not in the US but i was hoping we might have a developer with you kind of back ground
if you bo build a Rom, will it work for Verizon (crosses fingers), let me know if you need any testers
got to dump this touchwiz crap they even build "bing" in to it
i never though i would see the day where "bing" would be the default search on an android
its so odd to go from 2.2 on my vogue to 2.1 on my SGS
that is why i will miss this group
everyone here worked so hard and got out updates so fast i think this is the best group on xda

i just wish it was all one group because having it broken up by US carrier seams point less it would be easier for everyone to work together if it was one group

i got my SGS from Best Buy in the US
and it was Free!!! which is the biggest reason i got this phone
Best Buy is running a deal where every Friday for the month of Oct. they are offering a different phone from each US carrier for free with a new 2 year contract
my contract with Verizon ended months ago and just like you i was waiting for a great deal because i was not going to pay $200 for a new phone when i had my vouge that worked great
I've also been following the development here. I am so very thankful for everyones hard work towards making the vogue as up to date as it can be. I last ran Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] before my phone broke. Somehow the charger I used at work fried the thing and I had to move on. I now have an xperia x10a. I have some mixed feelings about the thing but I guess it is upgrade enough. Anyway. Thanks again. I will still keep reading most of the stuff here on the vogue. That thing was pretty good to me.
when i see posts like this it saddens me because i know there is one less user to continue the legacy of the 6900. however it gladdens me that individuals will keep up with technology.
brings to mind a saying i got from my dad... all technology gets out dated - at that point we can chose to keep it alive for something else, or toss it.
he made that comment to me when my 486box turned Unix bit the big one via lightning strike.
good luck on your new journey sir- congrats on your new technology- may it suit you well.

Root for Verizon's "Incredible 2"(not the IS)?

I know there's a lot of discussion on this topic about the Incredible S but was wondering on the status of root for the Incredible 2(US-Verizon)?
It's my understanding these devices are pretty much the same, with minor changes to the software (ie: branding and bundling). As far as I've seen, my I2 has many of the same characteristics and behaviors (in terms of shell access, temp root, etc) as the IS as far as what I've seen in this forum (I need to dig around more, though). I suspect whatever exploit happens to work on the IS will work on the I2.
Of course, I could be very wrong.
I've been under the same impression. When inc s gets root, so will we.

I cant wait. I want CM7GB like I had n my Eris.
I'm liking sense 2.1. We were all trying to get it to work well on the inc 1 with varying levels of success. I'd like to be able to use titanium to restore over 100 apps and also like to get rid of this stupid amount of verizon bloat. Have you guys ever seen so much bloat!? I thought the inc 1 was bad...

I came from an Eris as well. Was running CM7 on it, and I miss it dearly. Tried switching my I2 to LauncherPro so I could at least have the familiar environment (I have a registration code I paid for because I like it) and when I rebooted to clear running apps and be on just LP, apps started not working right (many would FC on start). Switched back to Sense and rebooted and all was working again. This annoys me greatly.

did u try to swap out ur LPP?
It's not looking too good for us, TeamAndIRC's JCASE spent about 20-30 minutes with my DInc2 and he tweeted his conclusion - "Yes incredible2 is as screwed as incredibleS, possibly worse. Psneuter works, gingerbread didn't (probably can with some work)"
he is out of town atm, gonna try again once he gets back, i really really really want 2.3.4/gtalk on our ffc

I got it straight from the Android market. If I run it after letting Sense start, everything works fine. However, if I don't let Sense start, or start manually, things just break. More than likely there's some service not starting that is launched by Sense that is required for certain things to work properly that ties into the framework. This is the kind of behavior that prompted Google to stop source code early access for partners (they should not be modifying the framework). My goal is to reduce resource usage, not add another layer of resource usage due to a personal preference.
Really, I just want to return to CM. Wasn't perfect on the Eris, but allowed me to do whatever I wanted.

My reply...
I would have to say I'm horribly upset that there isn't a thread or any support for this phone. Yes, there are people who purchased this phone...some because of warranty issues, some because of upgrades (though I would rather wait a while...since there are so many choices coming.), and others because this is their intro to the android world. Why not dedicate the same time and effort you've dedicated to all of the other phones...yes, it may be a challenge, it may even be a waste of time...but for those people out there who want...no need root and global...this phone is a success. Incredible 1 + newer 1ghz processor + 4 inches + global and a little extra = Epic Success (esp. if root was available). So as a consumer, a business man, a member of this great android community...I beg of you DEVs please assist us. We're here and we're waiting. America.
Just saying
There is forum made for this phone as its almost the same as the IS, with some minor differences. There is also no forum for the desire cdma version... Anyhow the devs who don't own this phone ( or DS or any of the new ones) have a hard time testing there creations. We have some devs who don't own it and its extremely hard to accomplish something this way. Furthermore all the devs of the newer phones try to work together for the s-off. Rom development is a completely different story.
The time for the cdma version belongs in this forum also, so I don't really see any problems...

What makes you think no one is working on this phone? As has been pointed out, there are people working on getting forums started here, and there are people getting their hands on these phones and starting to tinker with them (like me). Keep in mind this was JUST released LAST WEEK.
It's not useful to post these kinds of things as they don't really contribute to the discussion for making progress. It takes time and should we get lucky and the IS exploit works on the I2, bonus! Give it time.

Oh I'm sorry...I thought it was okay to post an opinion on a blog...I didn't think anyone would consider it a threat...especially since all of the current comments center around it, and I just elaborated. If you would like to attack people for posting their opinion about a certain situation...maybe you should do on your own site. Last time I checked...this was AMERICA...**** yeah, going to save the m**herf***in world...America...F*** yeah...lick my *Meow* and suck on my b*lls. Lmao...and that's my reply for you. Please and thank you. I don't hate...I just state.
Oh and one more thing...thanks for contributing to the discussion...seeing that your reply to my original post was very useful. Now back to the subject I just browsed Droidforums and notice a Incredible 2 section...I believe in XDA, and have been a ghost member for a while. I know they are working on it, and it was never my intent to come off as a douche. I was just stating an *OPINION*, I'm keeping an eye on the development of the IS and the general post section of the Incredible. I'm alert, and advise all to continue to stay alert...maybe in a week or two, we'll see some results.
Wow. No disrespect... But Americans ARE stupid.... Ok maybe its just you. We all know the i2 is so similar to the IS that discussion for both can take place here. The same thing happened with the milestone/droid thread. Full stop. Can this thread be locked up?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Uhh, the Milestone and Droid were vastly different in the entire bootloader business. This made the threads ENTIRELY different..... For now it's like Droid 2 and Milestone 2. Both are stuck at square 1 with a locked bootloader.
If it's offensive to explain complaints about lack of progress is annoying and ask for patience, then I have no idea how to not be offensive (yeah, I'm a "dumb American") so I'll refrain from posting here anymore.

[Q] should this subforum be closed???

hello everyone, I recently purchased a dell streak 7 and actually love it but have been disappointed in the lack of rom development for the device. it makes me feel like i purchased the device that nobody cares about. everyday i check the development section just to see the same post. there is never anything new so i was wondering why this sub-forum still open???? I dont think we really need a whole sub-forum just to see when dj steve releases an update for the same rom. One developer should not warrant a whole sub-forum. This makes me wish i would have hung on to my g-tab.

U can just as easily leave xda .... it takes time to pick up extra developers. Learn yourself and put out your own rom !!!
I've started on it myself..... I know a few others who have too.... learning takes time ! ALSO FYI, We already have 2 different froyo builds, 1 honeycomb build, and Ubuntu partially functioning. I've talked with 2 people who have already started trying their hand at gingerbread. Nothing official there yet though.
Most of us have jobs and families..... time isn't so abundant. If u have the time then do something about it and stop complaining
Donating to developers is also an incentive ........

alright so im an evo owner. im rooted, rom'd, the works. so i know what im doing but my friend is also rooted but has been out of the loop for a few months. so i need some recommendations as to what the best aosp (preferably) rom/kernel combo is for him. im basically gonna have to overhaul his phone
so links to the best rom, kernel, and a link to the newest radio update (im sure he is more than a few versions behind) would be nice
oh and what is the most rock solid stable recovery for this device. like if you own an evo you use amon-ra its not even a question. is there a preferred recovery for this device also? (it also has to be able to flash radios)
any and all help is appreciated
Edit: apparently my post here was not specific enough for some people. So to clear things up my friend does in fact have this phone (hero cdma) but he has very slim knowledge when it comes to rooting so I am trying to help him.

You aren't even posting in the right forum.... this is for the HTC HERO CDMA NOT THE EVO. You never specify that "your friend" even has a Hero. So this is why I say that.
Plus EXPECT us to just provide all this information when you sir are more than capable of reading, testing, and flashing all of what we have to offer here. You did it for your Evo didn't you? Then you can do it for "your friend's" Hero also. None of us care if you don't want to read everything. It's a forum. That's what you do here. READ.
Now your no Noob to XDA so you should have known this. Shame on you. Learn the forum rules better. And the etiquette. Respect goes a long way here and not just to our forum.
Ok I'm sorry I don't have time to play with my friends phone for a whole damn day. I see him like once every 2 weeks so I firgured I would ask in the Q/A for his device to find out what's good. You know, where you go to ASK QUESTIONS. I'm more than aware of the forum rules and I'm certain I didn't do anything wrong. So either offer suggestions or piss off.
Edit: also I figured it was implied in the op that my friend has this device because why else would I venture into the legacy device forum to find this phone and go through all that to post here? So you gonna help or not? I didn't realize that mentioning a name of a good rom or kernel was so hard. Hell you don't need to supply links I'm more than capable of reading and searching for it once a name is given.

Sorry bout the swearing. I for lack of a better word got "screwed" (keep your head out of the gutter) by my boss today and am not exactly in the best mood.
I know how you feel about the 100 times thing. Happens in the evo forum a lot to but the difference is that they have the devices their asking about so they can very well test on their own. I don't have this device and have no means of testing other than my not so intelligent friend who would probable mess this up some how.
And thank you. Now is there a recovery you recommend? I think he said he was using darkstar or something close to that but idk how good that is

I completely understand man. We all have our days. Having a bad one myself too.
Any of our CWM recoveries work very well. 2.5.0.7 (??) is the most used by our users here. As a developer I run my own special recoveries (Green Lantern) to my liking so another USER might wanna chime in here.
Also check out the .29 radio if he's on Sprint. He's probably missed out on it.

On the evo his rom is the go to aosp rom so I just want to know if that is the case here or if its at least stable. I don't need break neck speed necessarily but more just stable as a rock. I need it to last him the last 5 or 6 months of his contract without needing to be fiddled with all to much haha

Your welcome.
Deck's is good also. If your friend isn't picky between Sense and AOSP I'd just flash that and get him going again.
Personally I'd try TeamHeroC's latest 2.3.7 build from Jaybob. He just updated it the other day and from early reports everything runs nicely. Also it's a small build and GREAT for firerats partition mod if your inclined to do so. There's a ton of options here for our Heros, Picking the right setup is personal choice and a ton of flashing Great device for flashoholics like myself
Chiming in...
Just about any of the ROMs you find here with current release dates are 10x better then stock. I myself, like MattCrystal, am a flashaholic and bounce between them when I need a change. TeamHeroC by Jaybob was the first I used and I always end up going back to it.
CWM or CWM based recoveries have been solid for me--no issues.
But I must side with Matt about the reading......good luck!

State of Development :)

For those of you that have been around these parts for a while, you may remember the State of Development updates that good ol' Gsleon3 used to update us with. These came for us at a time when development for the Vivid seemed to be at a standstill, and for those of you that were here, you remember why. For those of you who don't, let me catch you up a little (and I apologize for the bad feelings that this may drum up, but I don't want anything to get out of control again). So grab a beer and a snack, this may be a long one
It was about April, and development for the Holiday was still in its infancy. There were a few good ROMs being released, and generally, it was a good place to be. Then accusations of stealing other's work, accusations of corrupt moderators, and all around child-like behavior started, and it became the downfall of the Holiday forum at XDA. ROM threads started closing. Then came the bickering. Then the Devs left. Then the users began to play the blame game, and the "let me try to whine my way to what I want" game. All the best devs left and opened up shop in their own little corners of the internet (and I can't blame them one bit), and development for the device was no longer centralized. There were/are still AWESOME ROMs available for this device, just not on XDA. This always made me a little sad. As painful of a place as XDA (or any internet forum for that matter) can be at times, there's sooooo much good information crammed into one site that it has always been my one-stop shop, but that wasn't true any longer. I settled in, I found a home, but I kept a close eye on what else was happening across the interweb's Holiday community. I liked to keep my eye on one project specifically, synergy's CM10 project, because who wouldn't want JellyBean, right?
Now, a little more information for those of you who weren't around.. The original CM10 thread was opened at another site in July, where the project started. Syn put a lot of time and effort into it, but in the end, found it to be not worth his time to continue on a project he didn't see possible to ever be finished (mainly due to the ATT in-call mic issue and video issues), and again, who can blame him? He abandoned the project at the beginning of August. This is where mg picked the project up, and continued it with a few fixes himself, before somehow we caught the attention of h8rift. h8 has been awesome - cleaning up our trees, getting things in their proper home, and powering through anything that gets in his way It's so great to have him around.
Myself, up until October, had only ever had experience with things like making boot animations, icons, editing .xmls in .apks, and some slight .smali edits. Thanks to mg's excellent guide and a crapton of Googling, I learned out how to compile/build cm from source. Then I thought, "I wonder if I could do the same for other JB flavors?" So guess what? I tried, and it worked. Every single question I had along the way (with the exception of a few Ubuntu and git specific questions), were answered by a thread here at XDA. Cool, right?
I am very excited to see new ROMage out for this device...as I'm sure anyone who was here through the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012" would agree, I was pretty sure what we had was all we were ever going to see. Which again, would have been OK, cause there are some great ROMs out there, but I've never been the kind of dude to settle in on the same ROM for too long - that's why I came to XDA in the first place. Now as I'm sure everyone can see, through collaboration, this project is making HUGE progress! I cannot thank mg and h8 enough for keeping it going. This brings me to my last point...
I encourage everyone to participate, and offer suggestions, and share information - that is, after all, what a developer's forum should be about. The wealth of knowledge that's available at XDA is out of this world, but sometimes hiding deep within the threads, filled by off-topic chatter and users who have way to huge a sense of entitlement. Please always keep in mind that the things you're getting here are free. Hours upon hours upon hours of work go into these projects, just to be shared for very little asked in return. Wait, we ask for something in return? Yes - READ, SEARCH, and SEARCH AGAIN before posting. Like I said, there's already a wealth of knowledge here that's incomparable to other Android forums on the web, but yes, sometimes it can be trying to find that information. But it's not impossible. Also - keep an eye on the issues list. There are bugs. There will probably always be bugs. And as long as there are, they will continue to be squished to the best of our ability (though h8's ability is far beyond mine, so let's especially be nice to him )
In closing - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not let this place become what it was before. So far I feel like the atmosphere around here has been a lot better, but I know how easy it can be for it to slip back to where it was. So be respectful, don't ask for ETAs, and be thankful for what we have - cause what we now have is a TON more options that we had before.
I remember the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012"... it was ugly, didn't even want to visit the site half the time. But things are looking up and I'm glad I didn't return my vivid thirty days after the release date like so many did.

seems like I got my vivid after all this happend. Got it off craigslist since I was switching from cricket
Well said homeslice. Although I haven't been as active in my participation I got the Vivid on day 1 and am really happy to see development where it is today. There were many points I thought the device was basically dead and time and time again it was revived with new life. Hopefully the few left can make sure not to repeat drama mistakes of the past.
And great job on going from a reader to a developer, very well done.
Why is my xda premium app only let me reply/post on certain sections of forums and not development??:banghead:

i think is not fair to close a wip thread to bring a sense 4 rom to the vivid all i wanted to do is help this device users to be on the latest software as i said in the post that was closed i wasn't going to share it to everybody i want it to share it to developers to bring this rom to all users but it got closed for "kanging" which i think is not true since venom team never released a vivid rom even thou the did for rezound which is pretty similar device but cdma and korean's make their work on the rom also to make the radio work which no body here in xda could do after many tries all i want is to help the community and specific this device owners which expect more from this device and we know is capable of running this system and much more please let the development continue we are stuck right know on sense only because someone doesn't want to share their work on other devices which is ok if you are the developer of something and you don't want to share but why stop someone who is trying to help on a device you haven't released a rom I bet that many of the vivid users would like to flash a sense 4.1 rom on their devices

Sorry but we don't approve of the use of our work by non-team members and do not condone the porting of any of our roms to other devices for various reasons. One of those reasons is these roms will never meet the same level of quality and support our users have become accustomed to as such, these roms will never be allowed on xda and will also be refused Venom Hub access.

Btw, we're not trying to be the bad guys here... We're simply trying to protect our property. Perhaps the best way for you to achieve your objective is to reach out to the kangers to find out how they managed to port it over to your device...

That's exactly what I want but there is a language barrier, instead of releasing could you try to make it legit here with your team? Please I know there are really good developers and they can find how to make it legit is all I ask I do not want to make an issue out of trying to help others with this device, this device is capable of running this Rom flawless just like the one x or rezound which in fact is is the same device but cdma could you help us or assign this port to one of your team members?
Or if none of you has the vivid let a vivid developer take care of it please we have really good developers here to!!

This all sounds familiar...the point of this thread...
Let's just drop it. The villec2 should get its jellybean sense+ update soon, and maybe we can port it. Or maybe we can get the Koreans to share their secret. In the meantime, it appears to be elsewhere, so get it there if you must

So, the options are:
1. We remove all of our tweaks from the framework files of a kanged port of one of our roms so that you can use it as a base
2. You find a Korean translator to ask the one who got data working how he did it.
Let's not start more xda drama the vivid forum has already been thru this. Either find someone who speaks Korean to ask to translate or have them remove all of their tweaks like they ask. The vivid has come to far now to start drama over a sense 4 ROM

I'm not been sarcastic please help the vivid users to get a sense 4 Rom up and running if you can remove your framework from it that would be awesome to use it as a base I know you and your team are great developers I'm using your viper Rom on my wifes phone and I am really impressed with what you guys have done, I never wanted to start a war here or elsewhere all I want to do is give the sense 4 option to vivid owners like me!! I'm really sorry I have caused any issues.

You don't understand the work effort in removing our tweaks from the framework so you'll need to follow up with the Koreans.
And I honestly hope we don't see any more links to this kang roms, either here or on rootzwiki.
