What's the next step??

Hello everyone, i'm relatively new to this forum, but I've been using HTC phones for how damn long haha.
Anyways, I got a MyTouch 3G basically new off some kid for really cheap. Love the phone like crazy.
I turned it on with home and end, to find that it IS rooted. My current build is CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF.
I have just a few questions. I searched and searched and found what I think are answers, but I just want to confirm. This forum has alot to take in at once. haha.
Am I on the latest Cyanogen build? Should I be using a different rom? Anything I should start with at this point?

cyanogen has moved to nexus development i would use super CSDIv4 remix or super d
as for latest build no ur not on the latest build besides super csdi is really speedy and force closes dont happen often same with super d

cyan is still deving for the magic and g1 just releases are fewer and far between.
so either his latest, super d or csdi...csdii is the fastest but i find less stable. cyan and super d are about the same, and personally i find cyans most stable of the bunch. all can be found in the g1 section.
again all personal preference....

sorry for the mistake

CM6?

While idling in #cyanogenmod, someone linked me to this: home.thisisnotajoke.com/CM6.zip
They said it was CM6 for nexus one.
Can someone verify this and possibly port it?
Thanks.

I can verify it. Cyanogenmod 6 is a cyanogen version of froyo, and was released as an alpha version for the N1.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/home/cyanogenmod-6-progress

me and conap have had it for a few days already
i caught it the day it came out
we are working on a vendor tree though

A Cyanogen based Froyo Rom? *Drool* The version Kaos is working on is already quick, so is this one going to be telepathic or something? Seems new exciting things have been popping up more recently than they have in the past couple of few weeks. I can't wait!

sweet.....

can't wait for a full release FroYoCM +1,000,000 to first dev/team complete for eris =)

this rom will the sweet

Mine already has CM6 bits in it.

hah, good question. I'll cover the basics you can do the rest of the research, essentially CM6 is a customer Rom, (stands for Cyanogenmod version 6) for android devices. You can learn more by visiting cyanogenmod.com
<opinion>
Also, cyanogenmod would happen to be my favorite custom rom, a lot of extra features are included, its pretty well optimized and you can expect updates often. I've personally used Cyanogen on the Mytouch and Nexus one, and I can't wait to see a version on the Vibrant, once an official stable version comes out, you can probably expect Android 2.2 and a lot of optimizations that would may the vibrant what it should have been on launch day.
</opinion>
Also I hate to throw this in, being a fairly new poster and all (and not being a mod) but I believe that this thread would belong in the vibrant general forum as opposed to the dev forum. Just a heads up so you don't get flamed in the future

Helpful post, alludes to something I remember mentioning
@andershizzle: if you do decide on running any roms such as CM6, the best tip that can be offered is to make sure you understand what you are doing and read any instructions carefully before you proceed, and make sure you understand the instructions too. Remember to ask for help before doing something that might turn your phone into a $500 paperweight (or in the vibrants case its more of an expensive decoration since I wouldn't trust it to hold down paper. It'd probably blow away too.)

Not being a 'nit-picker', but CM6 uses 2.2 (froyo). CM5 is 2.1 (eclair) and CM4 was 1.6 (donut). Hmm....now I'm getting hungry.
But yes, I'm definitely looking forward to see CM6 on the Vibrant. Only downside is it will look like the stock CM6 (meaning our Vibrant png's will be replaced ).
Guess I might start working on the replacement Vibrant theme.

Moved to General forum. The development forum is only for development threads. (Threads with actual development happening.)
Questions should always be in the General forums (or Q&A if your device has a Q&A forum.)

When I'd made the decision to move from my N1 to Vibrant, I was all excited to find out there was going to be a CM for Vibrant. Now, I don't care so much. Vibrant has so many things I was already replacing that it's cut down on my apps somewhat.
I got into rooting for App2SD, and with my Vibrant it just isn't necessary now to run a custom rom. I will miss the undervolting and overclocking, though I sort of hope someone will work on kernels which will work with the stock build. I did a simple root just to use my root apps. Otherwise, Vibrant is pretty good for me.
BTW, this isn't any sort of anti CM post ... I love the work he and his cronies do, and some times I hope that they'll get snapped up by one of the big guys out there. They should be making bank for their talents.

Well I feel like an idiot for posting in the Dev section. Accident. Lmao.
Anyways I've flashed ROMs on a Touch Pro 2 (WinMo *cough*terrible) before so I'm decently familiar with that.
Is CM6 like, Stock 2.2? I'm looking for a stock-as-possible ROM, is that what I should be getting?
Hehe, guess I'll just try it when it comes. But thanks for all info.

Will we be able to install CM6 with ROM Manager?

If you look at his changelog on his site he shows you the common Froyo bits and then shows the bits for different phone types. I would call it a Custom/Stock Hybrid

From browsing the vibrant forum on cyanogenmod.com it looks like mostly speculation at this point.

It's not speculation. There is active development for the Vibrant going on. It's just not far along enough yet for an experimental release.
You can follow wesgarner and scepterr on Twitter for the latest updates since they're heading the Vibrant branch. Wes is primarily focused on the MT3G Slide a the moment though since he promised to work on that one first and it's farther along, but he has also been actively working on the Vibrant too.

I just want CM6 on Vibrant to see Wes work his hiney off
No, not really. But I know he will.
The CM team adds a year to our gadgets. All I really want is to get rid of the stinky calendar app right now, and I can do that without CM6 (4,5 or 7, whatever). In eight months, though, when 1.5 or 2gH processors are selling, some ingenious JIT tweak revolutionizes speed, and/or the size of Google Earth becomes more commonplace, I'm going to want CM. I'm going to want it to be in its ruts, hashed & rehashed. Im not necessarily expecting it, but I sure am gonna want it, and be grateful if it's there for me and my old phone.
The CM team is also willing to try new stuff, and can get a load of people to test it. So Apps2SD started where? Got popular how? It's stock now?
CM is open source, and has got a lot of people using and understanding what open source is. The social aspect of software is all too often misunderstood, or just plain dismissed. XDA-developers has revolutionized software as we know it. We'd all be spoon fed M$ users without this site, and possilby without CM specifically. These guys will be in software history textbooks.
So, I'm working donations into my budget. I'ts much cheaper than buying a new phone every few months, or putting up with stock software on old hardware. I will pay these guys as long as they're willing to work their magic.
(By the way, every once is a while I crack out my old Tmo MDA, just for kicks for a few hours. It works beautifully thanks to a custom ROM. Thinking about giving it to my Mom just so she can have a Tmo "smartphone." I love XDA. I love open source, even when it's not exactly.)

Any Developer Interested in A Official Cyanogenmod Rom?

I noticed lately that the supported devices officially for cyanogenmod is getting bigger and bigger, so maybe one of you guys can talk to cyanogen bout joinin his team.. i remember from his website he had this to say recently:
"A lot of people ask me about adding support for their phone, but we can only support phones that we actually own. The CM team is always looking for new hackers to join up with us to add support for their favorite device. Get in touch with me if you’d like to help."
I know that there is roms pretty much quality and as up to date as an official cyanogenmod, but these roms are only limited by the website its on. unfortunately not everyone knows about xda (shocking thought, since im on here daily).
i hope the big devs for the eris reads this, for im sure its a good idea.....

Honestly the Roms that get handed out here are better than Cyanogen in that the people that make them implement their own tweaks inside the core of the rom that make them better. I personally WOULD use an official Cyanogen rom because who knows maybe its more stable and all, but still.

Since he already plays the role with his kernel and vendor tree, I vote for Canop
Canop for Cyanogenmod!

I vote Conap too! lol
I'm not really sure of much added benefit from "official" cm releases other than the ability to flash a nightly build every day. Most of the devs build their rom directly from cm source or port the nightles. With the way it is now you have a choice of many custom cm roms whereas some devices with "official" cm support only have the cm release.
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo

I've wondered about this too, but like others have said... We are probably better off the way it is now or at least not any worse off. The Hero builds are relatively easy to port and building from source has been worked out pretty well, so it doesn't really matter if we have an 'official' one.

+1 for Conap.
I would like to see an official build.

I vote for Conap, gnarlyc, SikYou & me... let's take over the world guys!!! lmao
btw... Conap's rom... Sik's rom... My rom... are basically Pure CM already

Ok. I'll fix the camera.

... go looking for trouble, and you'll definitely find it

the whole point of having it officially done is to not only have a way wider audience, but also to have all the setup for anyone to compile.. it really opens up the development of a device...

Wider audience? There are only 8 of us that still own the eris and 4 of us are upgrading in January lol

[Q] Android 2.3 Gingerbread for HTC Buzz/Wildfire ???

Just wondering, but since Gingerbread is out now: I would love to know if:
a) it can be configured to run on the Wildfire?
b) how/who/when can do it, to make it happen?
c) if there are plans to build cyanogen mod on Gingerbread
Thanks and looking forward to it

You'll have to wait a few weeks as it hasn't been put on AOSP yet meaning the source isn't available. You might see a port of the emulator image on the nexus one as that has been done before with froyo. Once we have source it should(afaik) be a case of modifying the vendors that adeadrat and Jacob are using now to accommodate for the new build.prop etc.

well: I guess that wasn't the warmest possible welcome into the developing world. Hope for you guys that it's not all too rough out there ... I really have fun trying out the different custom ROMs that there are. I would even report bugs, as that's about the only thing I could contribute ...
still am excited to see how the work in Gingerbread for Wildfire is going, since I suspect it will be the last major release that can be run on the wildfire.
PS: This thread may not be completely lost if some folks who are into developing post any announcements on Gingerbread for Wildfire here ...
... have a happy Gingerbread Season!

This topic perfectly answers your questions : [Q]Gingerbread for Wildfire?
I'm not saying anything against you, and you're a new comer, the least would have been to read some topics.

Damn you already ported the gingerbread?! Nice work, How is it? Does it run smoother then 2.1/2.2 or is gingerbread more for tablets then this budget phone.

Jesus, guys. Give him some time.
Good stuff Jacob, hope you get it up and running.

Amazing. Looking forward to it Jacob! =D

good work guys... please refine this rom and make the wildfire a great purchase for all people as it is a great little phone..
Also i don't know if this could be done but can something be done in regards to the resolution of the wildfire... please lol or is there a replacement screen for the wildfire? ......cause i really would like to get another screen and if anyone knows where that would be great.

I only know for the resolution of the wildfire, that there is a pixel density changer (I have no idea if this is any good, but you could look into it if you really want to change it)
