this is incredibly good news, it looks like he's going to be picking up Cyanogenmod dev work on the GalaxyS line of phones once Froyo rolls out to the Captivate

It doesn't matter which Galaxy S phone they develop for, as long as they get a working CyanogenMod on a Vibrant/Fascinate/Captivate/I9000, it would not take much to port it over to its cousins.

Not to be an ass, but If you don't see it here chances are it's not available yet. I believe XDA to be the central hub of information (even if the news originates somewhere else). If there is news it won't be hidden on the Development page.
Look in the forums of the other Galaxy S variants to see the status of Froyo on this Samsung line of devices. I believe it will be a little while before one is released for a CDMA version.

You were nicer than I was going to be, so I just decided to just bite my tongue, and let someone else respond first.
This is my first smartphone, so instead of this thread just dropping to the bottom, maybe myself and others could learn something.
What exactly needs to be done with Froyo (or any ROM) before it can be adapted to a particular phone, in this case, the fascinate?
I suppose keeping it in relative lay-speak would be nice as well.
Having samsung release a 2.2 ROM for the US Galaxy S phones would be a start.
The euro variants have a different button layout among other things that makes life harder for our development.

We need samsung to release the 2.2 update, and that will give you 2.2
As far as custom roms / CyanogenMod 6 on the fascinate, we will need the 2.6.32 kernel source code to drop (and pray that Samsung will release the right source when they release that code) and then a bit of developing.
you really think there will even be a 2.2? Personally, I think it would be updated straight to Gingerbread
There's a post from kaos on the kaos rom for eris forms stating that he had 2.2 running on his fascinate before it bricked, but that he MIGHT be developing a rom for the fascinate.
I'll see if I can track down the post.

We'll be so lucky if Kaos gets one working with the Fascinate, I had an Eris prior to the Fascinate and I was talking to him about developing for it, looks like he found someone to help him out.
His ROM > all others once they start rolling out.
Coming from an eris I would love to have punk kaos rom on my fascinate.
I'm coming from an eris too, and had kaos on mine, and about creamed myself after reading that, hahaha.....Even if kaos came out with a 2.1, id be all set.
LOL, same here. I got a late start with KaosFroyo, coming in at V30, after I discovered that one-touch root was finally available for the Eris. I had one month of the best Android experience possible on an Eris before I ordered up my new Fascinate. I wish I had the cash to buy a Fascinate for punk kaos, so he could start creating what could only become the best Fascinate ROM ever!
EDIT: Just saw the post where he said he's already working on one. Awesome!!! I'll DEFINITELY be donating to his coffee fund once he starts pumping out a ROM for this bad boy. Hmm, what will he name it though? I vote for Kaoscinate!
Yes, its true. I've been working on a 2.2 rom for the Fascinate. I got it to boot but was in the very early stages of dev when my phone let out a puff of smoke and died.
I got the phone through a sponsor, and have returned the phone to them and they're trying to get me another one. Hopefully they will soon and I can keep on truckin

That is a respectable position, but considering my gf is rocking out my old eris running v.34 I wouldn't consider it a waste if you couldn't get anything cooking for the fascinate.

Well, if you're sure
Just sent over some coffee cash for all the hard work on KaosFroyo, since I never got around to actually donating before. And also, I'm not done with it yet, as I'm loading up V35-1 on my deactivated Eris to let a co-worker with a live Eris play with. She's unhappy with 2.1, so she might want me to give her phone the same treatment, since she's stuck in a 2-year contract.
Anyway, looking forward to you getting a replacement Fascinate. Did it literally start smoking before it died? Dang, I knew these phones were hot, but that's just a bit over the top.
I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.
Thanks

We appreciate efforts to answer our complaints with Samsung, but adding teasers about a "Huge Announcement " after 6 months of corporate neglect....... does not instill a "Warm and Fuzzy"..........I am pretty sure you understand our unhappiness with the Treatment we have Received from Samsung... et al......
It's like a Joke...... even Boost mobile and Metro pay as you go phones get 2.2 updates long before we do...........
But we are open to the MAGNANIMOUS OFFERING that is about to be bestowed on us and wait patiently for its arrival

True, Krylon did say he is legit, but still I have my doubts. I'm all for good news, not broken promises, or neglect.
All XDA Users Rock!!
If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
Gingerbread?
Now THAT would be an announcement.
One can dream.
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.
Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.

I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.

An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.

Flashing the latest MIUI.
I love it.
Of course I do, but its getting old. The forums are dieing everyone's leaving. We hardly have new development lately. The only thing keeping us alive are Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Explodingboy, JCC, and some others I forgot to mention. Everyones gone.
Why did you leave the Mytouch 4g?

I have to agree with you. My phone does everything i need it to. I just got my 1800mah battery a few days ago, so battery life is better. Also just installed v6 supercharger script and the phone is even more buttery smooth. Been checking out the sgs II forums and honestly nothing so far has made me want to change.
I do love my Vibrant.
I was bartending last night and a guy at the bar had a (stock) Sprint SGS2. I played with it for a while, and damn, it was smooth. It did make me feel slightly jealous.
I love mine but I want to change to a newer one.
But alas, I'm stuck here until I get money for a new one.
Im my country, the newest one we have is the SGSII and not only that thing is older than I'm comfortable with (the international version), but also costs 500+ ON CONTRACT.

What's v6 supercharger? And can u point me in the right direction. Thanks

try miui 2.3.7 nb version 1.11.4. This version frees up alot of ram.
If i remember correctly you can use this script with any android OS. It automatically recommends the settings based on your phone. Just read thru the OP to be sure.

my vibrant has been great, but the writing is on the wall. Gonna wait till the first of next year and see exactly what T-Mobile is pushing. No hurry, MIUI NB, Im good for now.Knowing all the B.S., still take the Vibrant in a do over!!
can't say that i love it, but i think it'll last me another year. i dont see any reason to upgrade yet.
Just kidding... I am still MIA, no Vibrant... still trying to cope with getting the Galaxy S 4G as a replacement. Hope all is well in the Vibrant world.
I had two quick things I wanted to point out:
1 - woot.com has the Galaxy Tab 10.1 refurb for $325 shipped. You all know Cyanogen works at Samsung and he has already mentioned CM9 would drop for it soon. A great deal in my opinion.
2 - @ACSyndicate mentioned having an East Coast BBQ (like Austin). I lobbied for Raleigh NC as the ideal location, on May 12th. I hope all of you guys can come... it would be cool to meet you guys. I got the ball rolling on the plans, and now the ACS team is finalizing everything. I can say it will be an amazing time.
Feel free to follow me (@CallipH) or ACS (@ACSyndicate) for more BBQ information. In fact, I'd appreciate it (a favor if you will) if you would send ACS a tweet saying you want more BBQ details!
Alright, back to the dungeon I call the SGS4G section.... hit up woot, great deal today in my opinion.
Why not try getting a vibrant on Swappa, technically speaking the SGS 4g is worth more than the vibrant so you should be able to buy a vibrant and sell the SGS 4g and still come out ahead.

I have a feeling that when Galaxy S2 gets ICS, that will be a real beast. Initial reviews of galaxy nexus are bit disappointing in terms of speed and battery life. Display is a different story though.

Is the Vibrant 4G pretty similar? Does the GPS work and did it come with a 16gb card? Have you tried an of the ROM's?
I've been thinking about turning mine in because the charging port is flaky and the phone randomly shuts off but I'm not sure about the phone. I'd really prefer a sensation but that's more of an upgrade.
