Not to say he's above the other modders, but I've been a Cyanogen fan since the old days of my G1, so I'm very excited to hear this.

AWESOME!!!! Cannot wait!!!

He's the king. Also, CM6 will be built on Froyo!

I think it's more that he's the most well known ROM generator for android since the early days and, to my knowledge, on the front of the curve of new things as well (due to his own skills and also, I believe, due to his fame...people who figure new things out will likely report it to him to get it integrated into his ROMs right away too).

This is good news.
I'm still running a stock ROM. I'm waiting for something big to come out before I flash a new one.

Yea we don't even have kernel source yet

I wonder why HTC is being such a ***** with the kernel source. They were fairly quick to release them for their other devices.

Sense in CM6?
Okay, this is a BURNING question in my brain, someone please answer it.
When CM6 is released for the Evo, will sense be included?
because i've started to really despise sense since i've gotten the Evo, and i really hope CM6 looks and performs exactly the same on the Evo as it does the Nexus.

FYI cyanogen got an Evo yesterday for 300 bucks from someone.

Epic.
Can't wait.

I doubt sense will be included. CM does AOSP builds.

Just for clarifications sake and since I've been around since the G1, Cyanogen was not the first, that title belongs to JesusFreke. Haykuro was the first to bring SenseUI to the G1. Cyan fame-dom came after they took their, either quiet or loud exit. All 3 brought their A game and advanced the rooting community to where it is today.
So anyway...this is definitely good news. I've gotten my EVO in the last couple of days and have been reluctant to root. I'm not the trusting type when it comes to my phone so seeing Cyanogen working on this device makes me much happier. I know with CM roms there will be less forcecloses and MOAR WIN.

I'm excited about this one. The EVO is basically my first Android phone (I had a backflip for a while, but there isn't even a root it) so I haven't used cyanogen in the past, but his reputation is good, and I think his roms are the kind I am looking for. If I understand they are very close to stock AOSP, with some performance tweaks, but with a very high focus on stability, and sometimes more stable than the OEM releases.
I love some of the ROMs we have currently, but it seems like many of the devs value features and speed tweaks over stability.

cyanogen is great, I used his Roms on the Droid and loved them. Can't wait for the Evo release.

2.2 With SenseUI Aug 3!!

"Google" The EVO Update As I'm Not Allowed to post links.. BOO.
The EVO gets 2.2 presumably with the SenseUI on August 3rd.. When this is released is there any chance that we will see this flavor of custom rom for our Hero devices?! Hopefully Darch and the other XDA experts wont let us go without.. We can ONLY HOPE!! Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge.. Surprised there isn't a leak already.. Or is there!?

There is, i am running full 2.2 100% working on my Evo, and HTC also posted the update.zip on their website, but Devs from the Evo have had sense working for awhile now, but it still hasn't been ported over because of the huge differences in frameworks

I really wish I knew what people liked about SenseUI. It just seems so bulky and slow to me.

darchstar told me many times tonight there will be no 2.2 sense port for the hero. (from the evo) the arch is different

Nfinitefx45 will be working on porting 2.2 sense here soon

Thanks for the info!
I flipped through the EVO dev forum (reluctantly) and saw that they are already up and running on the latest froyo build which is awesome! I'm glad to see that all hope is not lost and that there will be some development for 2.2 with sense. To answer Zardos66 I personally like the facebook contact linking and the look of the UI. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with functionality and usefulness. The SenseUI is a bit clunky but I haven't found a happy medium with any of the roms that don't have the SenseUI. Just something I'd like to see and If it can be done I trust that the XDA Pros will knock it out of the park.. I'm very excited to see what can be made of this!! XDA FTW!

I thinks it mainly the widgets. other then that idk.
Im running senses, i've tried an aosp rom, it just didn't feel right, i guess i got used to sense.
But will install cm6 when darch gets into the RCs.

Even with OC, Sense still lags. It's is easy to mimic with less ram taken up.
Launcher pro
2x4 people widget - free
Messaging Widgets - free
Weather and toggle widgets - $1.99
feels good man.

Supposedly we can't port the EVO 2.2 release over to the Hero because the EVO build is designed for a much faster processor. Our Hero couldn't handle such a port without A LOT of tweaking....in other words, almost impossible.
Whenever the HTC Legend gets their 2.2 release, that is probably the build that the devs here will try to port over for us. A couple people have already committed to doing this.

Darch released RC0 a few builds ago, i am currently running Not my dog too build and all is pretty well. Camera app is still pretty much useless but Camera Magic is a quick fix. The gallery is pretty messed up with auto rotate and such, but aside from pictures it is a MAJOR improvement over eclair. My Hero runs like a champ!

does it change anything that the desire got a sense 2.2 today also?

I'm not familiar with the desire to know if it would work... hopefully it's closer to ours.

no still built on the snap dragon processor and is HDPI (high res) this is why we are waitng on the legend , it is the cousin to the hero in terms of processor and the fact that it is our exact resolution MDPI (medium). the legend is supposed to be on froyo within the next two months.

If it is gonna be anything like eclair release, I'm not holding my breath till around christmas, which is when the next major version of Android is supposed to be released. I bet by that time Sprint drops all support for their 6 month old Evo like they did with out Heroes, too!

Sigh I want froyo with sense.

the bottom line is the hero should of got the 2.2 update. sprint isn't doing a good job of supporting their phones at all. i owned the evo for a week and while i liked the speed & size the pitfall was the battery life. none of the tweaks worked and you had to disable every feature of the phone.

The nexus one looks so good. Still. So much support for it. Being googles baby it will probably get gingerbread. Just saying almost a year old and still one of the best phones. ("Did I get ripped off?" I sometimes wonder)

i just heard droid users are getting froyo today. this is a bunch of bull**** and im pissed at htc. i should of kept my evo. talk about dropping the ball with the hero!

There will be no port from the Ego since there's wayy to much things to change its almost impossible, but our hope of 2.2 is from the legend!

Hopes of Froyo

Now that our hopes of getting FroYo is going down, is CyanogenMod 6.1 Final the best bet?
I just unrooted my phone because of Wi-Fi and Google Market issues.

No wifi issue here with superfroyo. And the market issue can you fix. Just delete the market cache.

Yeah, because from what I know CM6 doesn't officialy support Legend? Correct me if I'm wrong. There are issues with the LED Notifications, etc.

Just grow up.
Legend is getting Froyo. Still acting like an impatient child. It's ready when it's ready. I don't want non-Sense UI. I don't want to downgrade my HTC thank you. I will wait for Froyo, and a bit longer to for it to be rooted, that is al..

lol i wont froyo too

If CM6.1 releases before FroYo for HTC Legend, I'm going the CM6.1 way.
If you see the other thread, I was the one telling someone that FroYo WILL come but the question is 'WHEN'?
We don't want to have to wait till its 2011.
Not starting an argument, that's all.

Also, removing sense isn't really a 'downgrade' as you put it. Better Batterly Life. Have you even tried Launcher PRO/ ADW.Launcher?

Better battery life? That's a myth. CM6x is has WORSE battery life, due to the inferior kernels and overclocking.

It's the same kernel... Also, overclocking is optional...

the problem is that will HTC be interested in upgrading an almost 6 months old handset. i dont think so and we must not keep our hopes up.

cos it was only a 2 months old phone when they announced froyo!!
but i think they've been working on it, since black legend is getting it and also similar phone like aria (gratia) got it too.

Lol. The latest CyanogenMod is in no way a downgrade my friend. I'd never use sense now. Don't get me wrong it was OK but you're deluded if you think it's the best way to be running your legend!

Bear in mind that sense is more than a UI, it adds a fair bit of functionality into Android: better exchange support, media formats, g-sensor calibration and the infamous FM radio...

We as clients have reached a real low standard if we give hope of support for a gadget that is just six months old...

Why would HTC say that 2.2 is coming when it isn't ?
For a laugh ? In order to show the world how unreliable they are ?
No !
Froyo is coming but since the Legend has never been one of their flagship phones and relatively few people own it how many people do you think they'll dedicate to the project ? They do have other business to attend to as well you know.
All you have to do is have a little paitence and get your obviously fragile emotions under control. Doom and gloom will get you nowhere.

Are the G1 devs leaving?

The older the hardware is, the less likely it is that people will stick around working on it. Also be aware that most of your list is made up of non-devs.
Most people who worked on Dream have gone to VISION. At some point, you should consider the fact that although Dream was a revolutionary piece of hardware, it is now OLD.

Well, the Vogue has been out for a looong time and it still is in support (miraculously).

The G1 still gets more rom development than the G2 (although it's started to even out). Maybe some devs are leaving, but there are plenty left.

G1 has the best support ever from devs and it should as it's the OG android device of them all. I will probaly check out the lg optimus2x or htc pyramid next as I believe those are the game changers that will have the same/hopefully better support even then g1.

I will stick to my G1 for some time, I was thinking in getting a SGS which are cheaper now, but I'm not very sure about the community support. The G1 is great and will be great for some time.

People don't care about the shift
It sucks but it's truth it's just not as popular as everything else the EVO is a revolutionary phone I'm a way so it's very popular but the shift came out right about the time new dual core phones came out so in a devs eyes its not there first pick to develop on but they'll use any resource they got which one was our GB update.
Hope it answered your question

^^^ lol it did but its just sad knowing that cause the shift is a really good and fast phone but i can see them wanting the fancy and newest or more popular phones

Yea it's very capable with the second gen snapdragon. More capable than the EVO to do anything so it's upsetting that people still develop for a phone with an older processor (I hate to call 1st gen snapdragon old but in the world an pace of technology it is) and that's about to stop selling starting October than a phone that barley came out not even a year ago
Well that my rant lol.
But yea I'm sure synergy will eventually make it's way to the shift and if people have heard rumors about the shift well then it's gotta be true because rumors and EVO shift don't go together for reasons stated in above posts
