It might be a very lame question but i'm new to android and cyanogen ROMs. So please help.
(correct my if im wrong) himem gives you full access to the 512mb ram the phone has. Stock standard only gives the phone about 250mb or so. The more the phone has to use the faster

Correct - highmem was a backport of the code in the 2.6.32 kernel that allowed the use of both EBI memory banks.
Starting with 2.6.32 this is a non issue as all memory can be properly addressed. Google has not released an OTA using this kernel yet, but they have checked the "stable" code into the git repo.

Its a kernel that allows you to use the full amount of ram installed on your phone as the member before me stated. Next time try the search button.

What type of delay is there typically between the code being posted to git and then making its way into an OTA?

Thats exactly what came to my mind too....
So why would you NOT use Himem? Seems like a no-brainer. Is it enabled in Froyo or would you still have to enable it manually?
What reason is there to put 512mb in there and only allow access to 256 or have I missed a point here?
Yes it's part of Froyo, as it uses the .32 kernel.

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?
It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all
There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...
Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Recently there's has been a release of Cyanogen Mod version 7 for GT-I9000
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15275-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod-7-we-love-bugs-version-20110205/
When the 6.1 beta came out for this device I remember Eugene fixed up a sweet kernel for us that fixed various issues, such as button mapping and kernel panics, which allowed us to have CM on T959 devices
Just letting everyone know it's out, and that if any nice devs would like to build a kernel to fix some issues we can have this on our devices!!!
I AM NOT ASKING FOR AN ETA OF ANY KIND. I'M SIMPLY ASKING IF THERE IS A DEV OUT THERE THAT WOULD LOOK INTO THE RECENTLY RELEASED CM7 AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED, LIKE KEY MAPPING.
Maybe someone should try the latest GT-I9000 CM7 beta with the last kernel that eugene released for CM on T959? I would try, but I don't want to reconfigure my perfect setup right now
P.S. if anyone uses CM on Vibrant, remember to use sombionix's SD mount fix so that your internal SD mounts properly!

Same I think I'll wait for a new nightly to pop up or Eugene to work his magic and create another fix, it shouldn't be that hard... just reconfigure the old fix to work with the new code?
I forgot to mention that Team Whiskey is working on an AOSP build for the Vibrant! I read it first in the OP for Bionix-v thread when it was first created:
also, as soon as we get our hands on the source code, we'll begin a full aosp build compiled from source.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And right now the OP has been updated with this:
Coming Soon:
Multiple high quality themes will soon be available for Bionix-v. Team whiskey has also been working hard to bring you a stable 2.2.1 and 2.3 rom. Expect a stable 2.2.1 to drop soon...very soon. Other very exciting goodies coming in the near future. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you!

The problem with that idea is that Eugene's new kernel is a FroYo kernel, not Gingerbread (which is what CM7 is). I'm sure Eugene or TW could get a good Gingerbread build working though.

flash the one from the i9000 and
just extract the modem.bin from the Vibrant modem you choose

place it in your sdcard.
then after you have CM7 installed.

I think if you read a little closer, I was commenting that the 2.2 source that was leaked to Eugene is about as useful to CM7/GingerBread ROM development as the 2.1 source was to 2.2 ROMs.

Hopefully we can get some development going for those of us that want *shutters* Audience Chip drivers, along with the many features that are present in the i9000 roms.

yea I been onICS for 24 hours now ,, its great , but nothing special I see very few differences in anything , except I am missing all of the features I m use to on GB .
imo dotn believe the hype , the only 2 things I like about my current ICS set up is sixstring kernel allows me to OC higher then on sammy rom (not higher then cm7 tho) and the launcher is pretty cool but still not as nice as on the gnex .
Eventho its 2.3.5 I welcome source of KK4
eventho Im 2.3.6 (i9000 base )
I'm looking forward to the more refined kernels the source code release should bring around. Those features we've been missing will now be possible.

I'm pretty sure that problem only happens when you put AT&T software on an i896. I can't say for sure though because both my cappy's are canadian. Anyways I don't think ts a problem with the phone per se.. I think its a network thing. There is no time stamp issue for people on the AT&T network that I know of.
KK4 Source has been available since around Christmas. Some of the I897 kernel devs have been trying to compile a kernel from source but have been running into issues with the kernel not booting which is why you haven't seen any yet.
