Devs and roms...were are they?

This is a great phone IHO..its the best android phone in the market right now....but why is that it seems like no one either has,or devs are not to intrested in showing support for this phone...excluding KMOBS...come on devs weres the love id be willing to donate for cyan to get this phone...anyone else..because right now this forum is pretty sad compared to the G2.

The phone is only 12 days old guys. Have some patience.
I'm sure someone in the CM team will get their hands on a MT4G soon. If not, then I'm sure another capable dev will figure out how to port CM6 over to our phone.
Honestly, I'd be down to donate $5 to the CM team along with the OP. We'd just have to hope 88 other MT4G owners will do the same.

http://twitpic.com/35seph

CM6 for the MT4G is already built and bugs are being worked out. (Wifi, Camera, & BT)
Once those things are fixed we should be seeing a RC.

CM is working on a rom...the wiki page has a link for the glacier, there is just nothing on it yet...give him time...

You would be a fool to go back to the wobbly hinge G2 just because they have a ROM. This is a much superior device and they will come. Just be patient.

Some of you guys are being stupidly impatient. You can't expect a bunch of ROM's for a phone that achieved a permanent root just a few days ago.
Development is going fairly quickly anyway. Kmobs of CM already has a working build for the MT4G. That's pretty damn good and since in many ways the G2 is similar to the MT4G, things should go even faster.
Look at the G2 development forum, they've already got the G2 ROM ported to the MT4G. Another example would be VISIONary. It worked for the MT4G before it was even meant to.
Either way, MT4G users have no room to complain. The phone I came from, the Vibrant. It still doesn't have CM or a stock Android 2.2. Even the ROM's it has now took at least a month to perfect.

I hope I feel the same about my MyTouch when it gets here Wed (if UPS doesn't reschedule, like they always do). Right now, the Android that all other phones are compared to is the Evo (I have one). But in my town, which has 3 sprint towers... 2 of them have been down for 4 months and I finally gave up and switched to TMO. I hate giving up my Evo (rooted, custom ROm, custom Kernel)... there is so much support for it from software to accessories (I have the 3500 mah battery from Seidio). I'm going to miss all the goodies for the Evo while waiting for all the support to catch up to the MT4G (which it might and might not... we never know how much an individual phone will be supported). I am so surprised how the G2 got supported. Sliding keyboard phones don't usually get that much support because they are so flimsy. Let's hope this MT4G has as much appeal to the developers as it did to us! If I don't like it, I'll have the option of going to ATT sometime in Dec when they finish switching over from Alltel.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it's Cyanogen's new phone, therefore it gets massive CM lovin'. kmobs has the Glacier though, it won't be left out in the cold.
Oh shi-accidental pun.

Wow, these phones didn't come out the same day ppl.

+1 on people being impatient. These guys are working their butts off essentially for free since most people are too cheap to donate. Root ur device, play around, install launcher pro an quit ur *****in'. ROMs will come in due time.

This is key, We need to show the developers some love here $$$$, Devs will work on devices that produce the highest returns=$$$$, There are so many EVO owners that producing a quality rom will have excellent returns=$$$$, The upside is with the hardware of our devices CM has the potential of creating thier greatest Rom to date. Lets be patient and get a bug free release, Instead of a premature release full with bugs.

I agree.
I will donate $20 for the first ROM that takes full advantage of the MT4G capabilities.

Of course. Kmobs been testing it. He says bluetooth and a few other things have to be worked out

Pulled the trigger, and made a change

Just wanted to say hello from socal, pulled the trigger on a g2 last night to replace my trusty mt3g 1.2
Hoping I made the right choice over the mt4g and for the forseeable future ...free express shipping so ill be around these parts more often...

You defibetly made the right choice. You'll be glad about the high development support and/or stock android later on.

Welcome home. ....... from all of us ehre here (oops, my dyslexic tourettes)

Put it this way, the only thing that the mt4g has that the g2 doesnt is a FFC and a crappy version of sense.... I believe the other hardware is the same? (processor etc.) also the g2 has a keyboard, which is always a plus

Much better choice over the mt4g.. unless you wanna take pics of yourself easier.. then I guess you'll miss out on ffc. Not a day goes by I don't miss my mytouch..

My dad had a MyT4G. He returned it cuz he hated the expressio look about is now waiting first the Nexus s to be released.

I'm bout to be one I want the MYT4G but I cant use to the look of it

Don't want to thread jack, but I also placed an order for a free g2 yesterday to replace my g1. It should be coming this week. If not, next week for sure.
I had the g2 when it first came out, but afraid that it wasn't going to get fully rooted (droidx), returned it. And now I'm picking it back up.
To me, it's the fastest android phone out right now, and the keyboard is always a plus.
I will miss the form and the keyboard on the g1 though.

Cant wait to get rid of this phone

Well i love the hardware this phone came with, and I didn't think I was going to at first. But to be honest, the lack of custom sense roms is driving me away from this phone, virtuous has too many bugs, and even vanilla android roms are in short supply. The G1 had more things to try, and for obvious reasons, yet if there is no more support for the G2 in the near future to compare to the G1 I'll be getting rid of this thing asap.

Aww man that's sad to hear. I hear you though.
I am using the VillainROM Sense+Rosie. I also tried Virtuous and CM7 (I know not Sense, but the latest/greatest). I love the ROM I have. If you have not tried it, I recommend it. There is almost no support for it, the thread for it is all but dead. But I have had no problems.

same here
yeah i dont like that theres no actually fully working sense rom/s i got this as an upgrade and i like it but i use my vibrant more just because the vibrant has so much dev support and here on the g2 forums theres hardly any updates, where over at the vib forums theres updates every if not every other day. im thinking of trading the g2 for a mytouch 4g

Check the dev section rmk40 just posted a new orange sense 1.85 rom.

Sense roms
Huh? The sense roms for the G2/Desire Z are pretty good. The best sense roms i have tried are from Virtuous and VillianRoms.

That's too bad.. The G2 ROCKS!

Give a go for VillainROMZ. I would use it my self, if there was no such a beautiful thing as CyanogenMod ;-)

Damn. People. Give some credit to the devs. The G2 came with special protection which made it hard to root. Now that we finally achieved permaroot the roms should start flowing in the next few weeks.

The phone has been fully unlocked and actively developed for only about 3 months now. Chill.

God only knows how much time/effort/money HTC put into locking down this device and ensuring that it wouldn't be rooted and hacked away by the development community.
Despite all of that, we have root, S-OFF AND very good developer support behind one of the best Android devices on the market.
If you want more developer support, maybe go for a Motorola Droid, or maybe a Motorola Cliq. Those devices have GREAT developer support behind them... =P

Stop cryin people. Go try meXdroid ExtraHotSauce. Time to manup

People actually like Sense?

Yhats whut i'm sayin. Sense seems so kindergartenish

This has to be the most ungrateful, childish, whining thread that has been made in XDA history. Your the exact reason why DEV's STOP DEVELOPING. Shame.

Why purchase a vanilla based device if you want sense? That makes no sense. *drumroll*

Im afraid my hero is done :/ or at least the battery. It was getting really hot there for awhile, then just.. Stopped charging :/ wouldn't turn of after awhile then just stopped doing anything all together. Its sad to see such an amazing phone just die after so long, i had it since donut days, all the way to gingerbread. Such an amazing phone, but for now, im using a optimus s until i can get the nexus s. I will with out a doubt stay in touch with the freaking amazing community, ive never known such a great group of folks. But for now, adieu all, ill check back in every so often to see how much more the hero is growing! Thank you all for the amazing journey

its not really there yet guys, be patient:
The push process:
-push to master, update the master manifest.
-push to the development branch, create the matching manifest.
-push to the release branch, tag it, create the machine manifest.
I'm still in the first phase, which is the longest one.

How long do you reckon it will take for a stable port to the HTC Desire Z?

I'd say a few weeks for unstable ports, then a month or two for CM9 nightlies and eventually a stable build.

Forgive the stupid question here but does each phone type need its own custom ROM? Ie will we need a Rom customized for the desire z?

Yes, because the Vision has its own set of drivers that need to be cooked into the ROM for all the hardware to work.

Probably never, why would people waste their time porting it for the G2 when they have newer phones to work with?

Why would they put 2.3 on the hero and g1. Simple answer. Because they can. Quit being a douche. If you can't be constructive then throw your keyboard/phone/tablet in the trash.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
Edit: Also remember that CM7 was on these phones pretty quick. The devs in our community know these phones. Plus the experience of doing it once might just make it a little easier to do it again. I remember from the Eris forums the devs saying it was easier to get 2.3 since they already battled through 2.2.
I'm also willing to bet you will see ICS for the g1 and hero also. Once again, just to say they did it!

Yeah....no.
That is why the dev community is so cherished on Android, they keep old phones up to date. If they only worked on new phones, which will see these updates officially anyway, what's the freaking point? The G2 is a phone the devs (including Cyanogen himself) really like. So spend a little bit getting informed next time.

Why would people troll a forum when they have better things to do?
That's the whole point of these development forums: to provide old, unsupported devices with the latest updates since the manufacturer won't.

Looks like someone has a lot to learn about the Android development community.

Can you tell me what phone out there with a keyboard is as nice as the Desire Z? I seriously don't know of any. The Captivate Glide looks like it's a contender but it has a grid keyboard, doesn't look like it'll have a notification LED, camera button, or the trackpad.

TrueYears, please leave immediately and never return. You are not contributing anything worthwhile. I'm serious; leave. This is a community where folks help one another learn and GIVE OF THEMSELVES to be a part of this, for ****ing FREE. You literally have no place here.
