Cyanogen mod is so confusing...I haven't seen anything on 6 lately, so I guess eeryone moved on to cm7, but what exactly is cm7?
Cyanogen releases an official rc andit should work on all phones running cm? So he's like the central hub for updates? Is that why official cm support is needed?

Lol.. cm7 is based off Gingerbread, cm6 is based off Froyo..
And of course your not going to see anything off cm6. That's almost like saying now that froyo is out for the epic, devs will continue to release 2.1 roms.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Cm6 was based on Froyo 2.2
Cm7 is based on the current android build gingerbread 2.3
so you can see why we gave up on cm6...
the galaxy S lines don't really get support from cyanogen i believe...

Yeah I know the sgs isn't supported and that's why our guys are doing it on their own, but when the epic is able to get cm7 to run on par with official cm7 and it gets officially supported by cyanogen and crew, will that mean whenever he releases an update, everyphone (epic, htc's,blah) that run cm7 will be able to run it day 1 without no problems?
This is purely a curious question

No it just means that once we have official CM acceptance Team Douche and co will work to fix any issues with our phone in future builds
What effectively CM tries to accomplish is to be more then a rom but a whole Android distribution...similar to how there are multiple linux distributions...so their goal is to have 1 single OS function across all devices...similar to how you have on a PC where you choose the OS and just install it..
Only when SGS is fully working and complaint with CM standards will it show up there.

He's just following the current 'naming scheme' of cyanogen. Cm6 was froyo, cm7 is gingerbread; since honeycomb is the next update it'll follow suit and be cm8 if they move to it.

Well Cyanogen Stated On His Twitter That It Should Be Released By Tuesday.
Does Anyone Know If It Was Still Going To Be Released On Galaxy S Phones?
I Remember The Thread From A Couple Days Ago But I Don't Remember If It Was Official?
that does not apply to the Vibrant (to my knowledge). It is going to be a little longer for us.... plus this is a RC.....
My guess would be no.
From what I understand it's been postponed. Apparently Samsung devices are a nightmare to work on, they still do not have the source code for the kernal, and other lofty matters I wont pretend to understand.
They are shooting for 6.1 rc (release canidate), not final. So no, probably not yet. I dont think they even have it booting.

It seems that 2.1 is much faster and much more stable. What are the chances of getting a stable jit for 2.1? In my opinion this would be better than any 2.2 that's out right now. I know when I flash from baked snack 1.6 to any 2.2 beta rom it is a huge downgrade.

I think the chances are very slim, since we are on the cusp of froyo.

I suspect that you didn't get the full 2.2 experience as 2.2 is definetely an upgrade.

several things about this statement, the only 2.2 experience u have had is from unfinished beta works, so its not the "real" 2.2 experience, second, i dont see any custom kernels for our froyo yet, would probably be since there hasn't been a source release? so of course once the official build comes out there will be rooted/oc'd/custom kernels shortly after that perform much better than stock

Jit is designed for 2.2 I believe. And it's pointless to even bother trying to get it to work since we'll have froyo soon. Once official froyo is out and the kernel source is released, we'll have things that leave baked snack 1.6 in the dust. Just be patient, it'll be here soon

I hear ya.. I am just tired of samsung support and im thinking of trading for the evo. The evo will be getting gingerbread anyday now according to a sprint rep.

Since the fascinate has been merged with cyanogenmod mainline, does this mean it will be supported when AOSP ice cream sandwich source code gets released? Or does Jt need to dev the whole phone over again for CM8?
I would go ahead and say Cyanogen should take over totally now. Because like he said it will probably be the last update he does. If they have everything working that should give them a template to work from for 4.0. Just a guess though.
He's still working on cm7 along side the cm team , and they compile and host the files

Someone will have to the necessary porting. Ice Cream Sandwich will more than likely contain a much newer version of the Linux kernel, so at the very least, the Fascinate specific drivers will have to be ported to work with the newer internal API.
People on the CM team might be able to do a lot of the porting themselves, but, they will need people specifically with the Fascinate for actually testing out the code (which they may or may not have).

Jt will still have to maintain it for the fascinate, he just meant that it'll be the last compiled and distributed build of CM7 by him. Since the build bots and downloads.cyanogenmod.com take care of those two.

Sdk ports are useless for the most part. Just wait for Aosp source to drop and I'm sure we'll have a CM9 alpha pretty soon. The Evo is after all very very well supported in the community.
Hurray for that

CM came out and said they aren't working on CM9 (ICS) until AOSP source is released. They don't want to have anything to do with SDK ports.
Once the ICS source is out, we're gonna see a whole bunch of ports and stuff. I think I'll keep my evo on cm7 until the day when cm9 is out. Might even use boot manager to use whatever cm9 betas are released.
We wont get anything stable tell we have the source for ICS and from i heard it wont be tell mid November and i would take atleast 2-3 for devs to get anything good for are Evo since where not on there top priority list im guessing Evo signiture or Bionic well be the first real port

Since this thread was made, i'd like to add my speculation, any of you who have deeper info are more than welcome to rectify it.
I'll start with what we all know.
CM7 (to-date) is not officially supporting our Samsung Epic 4G due to needing Gingerbread Source.
Mainly Decad3nce&JT1134, (with a few commits from Uberpenguin, Daemon & Noobnl) have brought us an unofficial version of CM7 aka a CM7 'Kang Build'
We're very close to the possibility of having CM7 official.
CM9 at the soonest, is planned to be available to officially supported Cynanogenmod phones, January 2012.
I'm not sure if bringing the Epic to 'official' CM7 means Deca and JT1134 will have the CM team to back them up, or just merit them the title of "official" but if its the latter,then the soonest we should see an official early ICS is 2 months after our epics become Official CM7, and not when the other devices get them in January 2012. This of course is just me thinking here. With all of Deca&JT's work prospering, and the future merges they'll be doing, we may just see an ICS CM9 working build like the other offical phones of CM.

If I understand correctly, Honeycomb was "released" in that at least some of the code is included with the ICS source. Google has indicated they won't release a vanilla version of the Honeycomb source because it never coalesced into a finished product.

Honeycomb by their standards wasn't a finished product. Had it been finished the way they wanted Matias and Hiroshi to go about it, ICS would have taken on a very different look than the final product we have now. Because HC would have been what ICS is.

There's also the fact that honeycomb was not MEANT to be a phone platform. Google has said from the beginning it was optimized and intended for tablets.
This is exciting news indeed. I loooovvvee CM. I installed CM7 with the Green Machine theme on a friend's Optimus V and I was oooing and aahhing as I was poking around to see what it had going for it. I tell her all the time that I'm envious of her because I did 2 things on her phone that I so far cannot on mine: Install a fully functioning and stable CM version, and get data2ext/data2sd working on my beloved Epic.
