I got brave and decided to try and build cm7 from source. Everything seemed to work just fine, copied the created update.zip to my sdcard, flashed, wont boot.
If I post it, could someone help figure out why that is?

Look in the out/target/product/glacier directory that you found the update.zip file in and get the recovery.img file. This is CWM recovery 3.0.0.0 and it is required for GB to work. Won't work with froyo though so make sure you take a backrup of your existing recovery.

Did you check r.cyanogenmod.com for open commits? There are a lot of patches to the source up. Some are for all devices, some are for ours, and some don't apply to our device at all but you would benefit from patching your repo.
Mine boots fine. Try patching the repo and building again if you have the patience.

First off, this is VERY early beta, nightly build test stuff...
There are many bugs, gps doesn't work.
Thanks to Cyanogen and team.
Thanks to Aery for the compiled build.
Thanks to glitterballs for the kernel.
I take not credit for this, except putting it together in a single flashable zip for you guys.
If you don't know what CyanogenMod is, you should probably sell your android device and get an iPhone
This is flashable thru clockworkmod / rom manager.
Flash Cognition first, enable voodoo, boot up completely, then flash this.
Have fun guys...

Nice work DG! As eugene says, community = progress.
Ehh...just thought I'd ask, but you didn't just drop the kernel into a zip right? There is a step where /data /dbdata etc are converted from RFS to ext4 right?
I would try this right now if my internal SD wasn't out of space. Looking forward to this!

What worked for me.
One click to stock, boot up and master clear.
Odin to jpm, then installed sentiron's kernel (using sheps jpm rom might work too)
Used the sentiron kernel to load DG's CM6.1 rom file.
For those of us in a 850 megahertz area this didnt work for me. I think I needed to start with jg8 modem...

Have you had 850 working before? You need to enable 850 before Odin to JPM.
How can you enable it before JPM?? Every time I've tried accessing that particular setup on a non i9000 it won't let me in. That's why I stopped messing with them.

Look around man, there have to be at least a half dozen i9000 ROMs where people are successfully using the 850 band. If I recall you had to enable it on JI6 or maybe it was JG8. I only had to do it once and it was...a month or so ago by now.
This seems super snappy! But, why is there no Market app?
Also FYI, after first boot it would not recognize my external SD card until I ejected it and replaced it.
Ihtfp69 tip toes in and closes the door
I realized after releasing a ROM that no one was using Koush's AnyKernel method for flashing kernels. This poses a problem for ROMs with custom ramdisks. Someone mentioned the AnyKernel method did not work on this phone. So I did some investigating. With a few changes to the script, I have it working perfectly.
Credits here, of course, go to Koush. I just modified his script. The kernel zip attached here contains the kernel from the latest leak. Because this uses the AnyKernel method, you can flash this on ANY GB Sense ROM and it will work and not break WiFi.
EDIT: I guess Ziggy did a version as well a few months ago. Here is a link to his: Ziggy's AnyKernel MOD

The reason i didnt do it is because I assumed the existing files should work.

The bcm spits out at the end of compiling the kernel and it is specific to the kernel. Pull the zimage and the modules from the ROM, put them in the correct folders in the zip ... Wipe Cache and Dalvik for kicks and flash. Should be fine.

I'm with this guy, though I must say that I appreciate the effort from randomblame. Following the rules and doing things properly leads to things that WORK properly. Thor's roms and recovery have issues, however useful they may be.
Great!
I have other android devices and was turned off by some people in the a500 community not following the law (by not complying with software licenses). I thought XDA had a policy about that, but maybe it is not applied to everyone.
As a software developer my self (mainly non-android) I was shocked by the actions of those parties breaking the law.
It is great to see people stepping up to fix the problem. Thanks for your work.
EDIT: I see people are removing thor's links from forum posts. Thats good. I remember seeing several over the past 6 months, maybe I saw them before they were removed. It is good to see people taking piracy seriously.

Was wondering if any of the devs here could possibly spend some time to develop for the a200 as it is similar to the a500?
Our boot loader is unlocked
We are rooted
And we have cwm.
Just need some custom rom love such as cm9,aokp and so on.
I am not a dev but have comp programming knowledge if you need any files from the a200 I would be happy to share.
What do you mean we have CWM??
Is there something I missed?
But I do agree, we need our own section along with some custom ROMs!!

Well, creating your own simple roms isn't all that difficult. It's just hard to do when you don't have an a200 to test with. But the theory behind it is all the same.
If you guys want to try it yourself, let me know, and I'll share what I know about it. Seeing's you're already rooted and CWM installed, should be safe
I wouldn't mind having a deodexed rom. I would do it myself but not sure if I have the time with how much I work. Unless it's not that hard to do. I just can't wait until I can theme this device. Already have all the .png's ready...

Not sure about how to pull the boot image.
But the files from a "rooted" system dump would be great. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that earlier.
The issue, is that the root app they published, flashes the boot.image in 2 parts. And they're modified. This results in a modified boot.image in your tab when you run the root. Would be easier to have a complete modified image.
Well, never de-compiled and recompiled an image before, so will figure it out Maybe!
The rest, can probably be run from the install script as far as permissions and such.

Ah, well good. That's what I get for not checkin the threads for a few days.
Hopin to see some customs soon. Would be nice!
Ok, just to update you, I sent out a test version this morning. Mainly to make sure I got the install-script right with permissions and stuff. No other changes other than removing the usual bad stuff.
If, and I say "if" it goes well, then I can proceed on stripping the heck outta it.
If not, I have an alternate plan.
Ok, need 1 or 2 of you people to try this install. All the bad stuff is taken out. At the worst, it will bootloop at start.
If it boots, check Su for write and re-write on the /system. Copy a file, see if it sticks. Then delete it.
Root explorer added to /data/app so check permissions.
Make sure you do your recovery backup first,
Then wipes and such like a normal rom.
