Droid Support in Cyanogen

Hey guys... I started an entry for Droid compatibility in the Cyanogen code tracker.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...Priority Version Owner Summary Stars Modified
Let's get some more stars on that badboy and show that there is a real desire to get more top quality coders on the Eclair bandwagon!

What is this for? To get Cyanogen on Droid?
The only thing I regret about switching to Droid is missing out on Cyanogen's awesome work. There is nothing comparable yet on DROID.

Yup! Exactly the point of what I'm trying to do.

Starred.

Hmm I don't see it happening any time soon, because the only reason the Dream and Magic are both supported in his ROM is due to them both being 32B devices. Same hardware and I believe same motherboard. The 32A Magic that uses a different motherboard is not supported.

I would say it is doable. You'd have to do some pretty serious work in the code and somehow figure out some of the Droid's drivers. The proprietary drivers are the major barrier to creating decent custom roms for most of these devices.

Someone needs to give Cyanogen a DROID.

Yea me too..
thumbs on the bottom en push up..
but to not push it out of my hands..
i have 2 fingers on top..
and one keeps pushing the volume..

I keep my fingers on the middle of the back instead of along the top rim... so my fingers aren't anywhere near the volume button, but still have enough torque to open the screen easily

The Droid in GSM is 650$ Imported/Unlocked, Pretty hard to get alot people on that one.
But i would consider getting one if Cyanogen made rom for it, but i dont think he has enough time to do Dream, magic and milestone.

Sounds like a great idea for those of us here in the US, but the GSM droid is not going to give you 3G connections. The radio frequencies of the GSM droid is not on the correct radio frequencies for T-mobile or AT&T, so you will be stuck with 2G at best.

Telus' Milestone 800/1900 3G

Well, or you could wait for the Canadian Milestone (aka GSM droid). It will be using the GSM 850/1900 3G Frequencies.

Cyan's got a housemate with a Droid... maybe the housemate will loan for development.

he has a nexus one so I don't think he really wants a droid now
He even started working on making the stock Nexus one ROM better and I heard from a little bird from twitter than Drizzy is making a fully optimized nexus one rom for the g1 since he got a nexus one also

Htc HD2 T-mobile - 3G Connectivity Question ?

Hi, so i have a unlocked htc hd2 from t-mobile.
First question is since im a newbie, does that 3G capability is software or hardware based ?
Second if its software based does anyone know if there is a software that'll enable hd2 to work on Rogers 3G bands?
thanks a lot in advance

I'm guessing you mean from T-Mobile US. You should probably check the forum specifically for the US T-Mobile HD2 and ask these questions there.

For your information they have removed the section for TMOUS HD2's and merged back in with the regular section. As to try and answer the OP's question, I personally use Energy ROM's because I like the latest build of 6.5.X and allot of Eye Candy however everyones taste is different. The best bet would be to try allot of ROM's out and see what one fits your taste. (just make sure it is compatible with TMOUS)

Universal ROM for G2 / Desire Z

Since the G2 and the Desire Z are "technically" the same Phone...One major difference will be the bands.
Therefore, will it be possible, when Cyanogen creates a ROM for the G2, to use it on the Desire Z? Or will it not work because of the different bands?

N1 and desire are closer in hardware than the Z and the G2, but they still require specific roms.
So......no.

Looks like Cyanogen won't support the Desire Z then?
Bummer

If they get their hands on one I'm sure they will.

Hell no they arent the Z and G2 are closer, only ROM and radio for these two.

the g2 also has 4 gigs of internal memory (not ram)
vs the desire z's 1.5
it should be a quick cut and paste for a dev

What?
AFAIK, memory capacity and radio aside, they have the same internals.

I am not even sure a separate ROM would have to be written. Would the radios have different drivers?

Right. That's the only difference.

Well, I think so...Because it's the same with the Motorola Droid and Motorola Milestone. Same device, only difference is the radio. And yet the ROMs for the droid will not work on the Milestone without modifying the drivers for the radio, etc...

well thats because CDMA roms won't work on GSM phons and visa versa, but since the Desire Z and G2 are both GSM they will work together....... The only thing i'm hoping for is that HSPA+ doesn't end up like Wimax where no custom roms can run it =(

g2/Z differences
Rom/ram/internalstorage/radio
n1/desire differences
rom/ram/touchkeys
Like I said n1/desire have more in common than the z/g2, it's not a huge difference, but they are closer siblings.

pretty sure HSPA+ isn't going to stop custom roms. even then we haz cyanogen to help us hack it

the G2 and the Z are the same phone, only difference is the ROM space(internal storage) and radio, they have the SAME RAM and other internals so as already stated they should work almost interchangeably but they may not, the only way we will know for sure is to get shipped ROM for both and flash to the other device(after root of course) since we already have the shipped build for the G2 and the ENG build for the G2 then we should be able to get root within a reasonable amount of time.
and since cyanogen is getting the phone we can expect CM development almost immediately

1. Rom shouldn't even matter...for custom ROMs anyway.
2. Ram is the same. Check HTC.com they both have 512mb.
3. Internal Storage == ROM...
So that really only leaves the radio which is different.
P.S.
Yes, the Phones are both GSM, but they still have different bands, which equals a completely different radio.
For Instance, a ROM for the Motorola Milestone from Brazil with the bands: 850 / 1900 / 2100
will not work on a Motorola Milestone from Germany with the bands: 900 / 2100...
Well...It will work...problem is that you won't have 3G

so is gunna end up kinda like how magic phones are 32a and 32b, or is gunna be like how dream roms work on magic phones............. ugh who cares there'll be more development for the g2 anyway... sorry desire z owners! =)
oh and how are you guys all senior members me want me want!!

Well...whatever changes Cyanogen does to his sources, they could easily be ported anyways by just replacing the correct libraries for the radio, etc.
I doubt it will be a problem.

does any one know the /system size of the g2?
and i wouldnt worry to much about HSPA+ the coverage for it isnt that good right now, so if there is any bugs with roms and hspa+ it will be fixed by the time hspa+ is up in your area.
And i dont know about the differences in the 2 phones. but i believe that it is something with the radio because that controls so much of the phone and the rom is more or less the software

i have HSPA+ in my area so i certainly hope that we can still use it with custom ROMs. cannot wait to get this phone

Heh.
3. Internal Storage == ROM
Believe me, if internal storage was really Read Only Memory people would be quite unhappy.

Dual Sim on Vogue/Polaris compatible with Android

Hey,
i want to use a different provider for phone and internet.
There are dual-clips for Kaiser on wimobile, but im note sure if this is system dependent.
Is it even possible to use 3g and phone at different sim-cards at the same time? Or do i have to switch to the 3g data-sim for internet and then the phone isnt working the whole time the connection stands?
Thx

if you manage to get a vogue to work off a SIM let alone 2 your a braver man than me

AH damn..
The Vogue doesnt support sim cards? Its this cdma thing?
Sorry but its not usual here (germany) so i wasnt thinking about this, because of the similarities polaris <-> Vogue.
Was posting here, because Polaris forum seems not very active...
Hmm.. where´s a good place to ask this?

yea vogue is the CDMA (and arguably better) version of the Elf, so yea no sims on cdma atleast not in the USA

A surprise I found. BEE vs BUZZ.......

While I was surfing the internet aimlessly as usual , I thought to check gsmarena.com for the latest mobile news...etc
I found something interesting, In the CDMA Wildfire (AKA, Bee) I pressed the compare button and chose the normal GSM wildfire (buzz). In the android version the buzz was upgradable to android 2.2 froyo BUT THE BEE WAS UPGRADABLE TO 2.3 GINGERBREAD !!
Aren't they supposed to be the same phone but with different radios ?
A message to HTC: WTF ?!!!!!
Another thing, anyone knows what's the HTC sense version of the gingerbread bee ? Any RUUs available ? maybe it will be easier to port it from an almost similar device
If u wanna check by yourself, click here

Man. I am surprised. Did not even know that a cdma wildfire existed till now. Great to see an upgrade of 2.3 sense upgraded os.

these bees surprise me more and more. even though i am in the uk i am actually considering getting one of these just to f**k with it and see what it can really do. maybe even be able to port a recovery and cm7 to this device. cant be that hard surely. and ive seen the prices used on ebay for about £30 or so but they wont post outside the us :/ i am aware that the call/text functions wont work outside the us but the wifi would still work so maybe i could get this mysterious gingerbread update as well. thoughts?
oh, and ive only been able to find one ruu and i tore it to pieces only to find that its stock 2.2.1

I remember when i was looking for a way to get gingerbread on my wildfire (LOL it seems like it was the stone age then ) I read that someone had his wildfire on gingerbread out of the box.
Till yesterday i was saying "either he's a complete noob or an epic troll" .
Now I knew what he means, he had the Bee an he didn't know the difference between the Bee and the Buzz.
I'm in a quest for finding a gingerbread RUU for the bee. Will report if i find anything

SFM is already the base of our sense 2.1.
However the bee is probably not upgradable to gingerbread, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395647

Probably yes (and no-one did really care as there aren't that many bees out there). In the end we only could find out by getting hands on a RUU...

GSM arena has typos in many low-end devices that don`t bring traffic.

the bee`s version is technically older as the buzz recieved more updates.
