This phone has been on the market for some time now and there are almost no custom Roms for this phone. There are certainly no Froyo roms. Is there a problem with development? Did samsung release all the drivers needed?
there are in fact many custom ROMs already.
but the guys making the custom ROMs are waiting for Froyo to be released, before they go crazy on it (same here)
Samsung is releasing Froyo sometimes in September, just in time for back to school
for the time being i'm mostly evaluating all the softwares i wat to include into my own custom ROM once froyo has been released, and also building a list of build in apps that i don't use and want to remove
you can install any of the many available custom ROMs already from the DEV section just search for [ROM]
Samsung have released the source code, but reportedly the drivers are encrypted. This means all custom roms for the near future will need to be based off the official (and leaked) Samsung releases with just optimisations (eg: MoDaCo R3) or theming (eg: SamSet 1.6), but no ports or AOSP until the drivers can be recovered.
However, work has started on Cyanogen 6.0 for Galaxy S. They are stil very much in the initial stages however.
Official Froyo is due sometime in August (Korean release), so it's easiest to just wait for that and then go from there. However, we may get some leaks early if the stream of beta firmwares (still 2.1) is anything to go by.
Actually i'm quite sure Paul said that next MoDaCo release won't be based on an official samsung firmware, so I think it's just a matter of time and many ROMs will appear.

Hi there!
For the mytouch 4G phone from t-mobile, it doesn't come with vanilla android (the stock android O.S).
So, once rooted, is it possible to flash it with the Stock Android 2.2 O.S? That does not have T-mobile's junk? If so, where or how can I find it?
I came upon several links, but wasn't certain. Also, what does it mean by RUU rom?
thanks!
I have no idea what RUU to be honest, never used one but I think it's the factory image that's used to bring phone back to stock, not sure if there's one for MT4G
There's no official vanilla 2.2 rom for this phone. The closest thing you can have is CyanogenMod. 2.2.1 is in RC2 stage and is very stable. 2.3 (gingerbread) is in unofficial alpha stage. It's very stable (as far as people say) but has it's bugs and there no official support from CM for it, only community. All other roms out there are sense based. All roms are in Development section.
Obviously, you need to be rooted to flash any of those.
Good luck.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility. It is essentially the rom that ships with the phone. You are correct in saying there is no true vanilla Android ROM. OP's best bet is to go with CM as you suggested as it is Vanilla Android with some features added and closest to pure android you're going to get.
Good afternoon
I already have on my zte blade Cyanogenmod 7.1 android 2.3.7 rom and I am thinking of changing it to 2.3 gingerbread. Should I do it ? Is there any diference ?
CM7 is gingerbread. If you just mean should you change to another gingerbread rom, then look at the different threads for each and see if they have anything you want. If you don't see any advantages to changing, then stick with CM7.
Cm 7.1 is 2.3.7 which is gingerbread.
I think 7.1 is the best ROM for blade .
I agree. Thee CM 7.1 release is excellent. There are things you can do (like over clock your CPU) which Gingerbread won't do on its own. And there is much more.
There is also now an expected CM 7.2 release coming soon. And then CM9 which will be Android 4.0 (or Ice Cream Sandwich as they say). Its much easier to upgrade to newer CM Mods if you keep CM 7.
So I guess what I am saying is there is little advantage gained by using the Google Gingerbread release over Cyanogen.
I've made a list of all JB,ICS and GB ROMS & KERNELS for the I9000 out here .
I know you may find a couple of threads like this.But the main difference is this thread contains all the three versions of android.
I will update the thread on a daily basis(almost daily) and i would like to add a few info about every rom .
It will help you to you choose an JB ,ICS or GB Rom or Kernel.
Since there are a lot a roms coming up daily based on CM9/AOKP and other people are just adding applications/MODS and re-ziping the rom which are of no use so i will add only those rom which have significant changes in it.
I will try to add ROMs from other sources also if they are worthy enough.

Sorry guys was out on a holiday back online ,will update the list right now
Ok, obviously the MTS3G is an older phone - and i think im currently running cm7 (gave phone to my mom) but was wondering if there was any new headway on people running 4.0+ ASOP on the device or what not?
I came across the zeubea thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944550" but is any development still being done on this device ? Is anybody running the unofficial JB on here - or should i hold out for a new official CM release (such as CM10) for the MT3GS (or will this official CM release most likely never happen) ?
Guess Im just looking for a stable ROM that can be used in this device on a daily basis that utilizes a more recent AOSP release.
There will not be any further major updates from official cm, but zeaubas should work fine
