Is GB just around the corner?

We've been getting so many GB roms this month! It's amazing, don't you think we're close to a fully functional ROM thats GB with good battery life, GPS (im kind of thinking i shouldn't have put GPS)
but i think its right around the corner! what about you guys?
I mean if you look at our Dev section on Page 1, there probably about 5+ GB roms...
We'll have it soon!

Won't try any of those without GPS

It's in the works. Cmenard has fixed rainbows (proof). (He's a frackin' beast). White has all his magic done on it. I'm the only failure! I can't get the damn GPS to work.
So yeah, that's all we're missing. Vibrant uses a different GPS binary to communicate with the hardware versus other phones like I9K and Cappy (we're the ONLY phone that does this, BS right?). I've been working with cmenard to even build a custom kernel to call that binary just like the 2.2 ROMs and still nothing. I think I'm either missing something extremely simple, or it's not possible. Eugene is smarter than me so hopefully he figured something out.

THATS GREAT NEWS!!!!!
By any chance, would you guys release the ROM, with all the magic done to it, even if GPS wasn't fixed? For people like me, i'm a teenager, why the hell would i need GPS? lol.

HEY! Trigger is my Fav. rom not even kidding.
I was just on the RC1 thing for GB yesterday for a day, missed the trigger notif. bar and the other speed and stability bcz i always got FC's and Freezes.
I tried Jellette's PRivate stock, but still missed Trigger.
I came back to Trigger.
Trigger's the only rom on my External SD, incase anything happens to my phone, i still have TRIGGER!
release it now lol.
P.S. everytime i read your posts, then look at your Avatar, it always makes me think ur pissed off lol

Good save.

WOOHOO! A GB ROM IS ON THE WAY!
Now all we need is for you to release it.... *sits down patiently and stares at you*

Has anyone tried building a 2.6.32 based GB kernel? Just a thought =P

Thought so, well, I read that thread before and in there Eugene didn't EVER say that he had a working GPS. What he said was that fixing it wasn't that hard and mentioned the files.
But I guess people love to stare on a bright side that doesn't even exist.

Seeking devs for work on ICS port

Now that cm7 seems close, which means a working AOSP kernel seems closer, any devs wanna work with me to try to port ICS?

All the "real" dev's aren't gonna go anything until ics source comes out. Noone wants ics...because as soon as ics is ported, people are gonna whine about not having cm9.

At the rate our cm7 is going we might actually be part of the cm9 release. Of course this is wishful thinking

We should work more on getting CM7 support official.
ICS is supposed to be similar to Gingerbread API, so if it's official then support should be adopted with the move to CM9.

No I do too. It's just to early right now. Why port an unreleased sdk version of android? And then have all that man power down the drain when cm9 comes out.

^ this. You've got to look beyond. I totally agree here, we're so close with Deca's work on CM7 Kang to have it official, that the resources available to us should be embraced. Once Gingerbread is available, getting CM7 official should be everyone's goal, that is, if you want a fully working ICS rom for our epic in the future, and not a half-assed ICS SDK Port. Yeah, the Nexus SDK Port is a super-nice preview of ICS, but really, they already have official GB, so the port from ICS was much more realistic for them. Not to mention their port didn't have to worry about the Touchwiz Framework or whatever. Anyway, not to be a downer, if you guys round people up, then go for it, best of luck. Just know that if you prioritize what's much more important right now, it will lead to what you want in the end anyway.

Almost there for MIUI. Same goes for CM7. I'll probably finish MIUI by Thanksgiving. Me and bxfxf are working on ICS though too.

Well that's really good to hear. CM7 development should be almost done by now...I'm kind of shocked that we haven't had video recording and video playback fully working after 3 weeks of having source.
Maybe I'm just impatient, or maybe it's because we don't have that many devs working on cm7 to begin with. Either way I just hope the Epic will keep getting worked on...

Anyone that wants to help on the port, the fascinate dev pmed me his port so if you pm me, I can send it to you. Also to people that think this is a waste, we can probl use this rom with ics kernel when we get that

I have had my Epic for a Year now...always enjoyed using the Roms, Kernals and fixes the devs here come out with. If I can be any help bringing ICS to the Epic I will gladdly help.

I'm a programmer, but I've never done anything for android.
I'd like to help someone with something, if ppl think another hand on deck would offset having to show me how to do...pretty much everything first.

That is not true mate. Check out progress report thread in android development forum, you will see major phones have pretty good ICS developed.

Yes ofc without microphone or speakers working at all. Because there is the phone kernel missing for the ics. So they are trying to implant a GB version on ics, correct me if I am wrong have 0 knowledge about the thema, that's why no thanks I will wait, if you can't wait why didn't you bought the nexus??

microphone works perfectly fine here. had nothing but crystal clear call quality from the start according to everyone ive spoken to.
maybe theres gunk in your mic hole or its being obstructed?

Eh, they're talking about the ICS build. Currently it's private, so uh... wat?

Why not both?

I'd love to play with a half working ICS rom for now.
I really don't care about things like bluetooth etc.
Having a working screen / camera / data is nice though

So he asked, to get a wrought thought what people want because the needs are always different the wants can be made the needs can be satisfied ;-) GL HF netchip with what you decide as I said with a kernel working perfectly a waste of time to make Ics, ok it would be imba to get the start with it but it would be to much dunno about your free time and what you like to do easy s..t or hard core, I can't make it, I will try moaaaaaaaaar, I made itttttttttttt yessssssssssssss.

Lovely kernels. Fyi 2.19 CM9 kernel is the same one that was posted before his thread closed... for me, it prevented Deep Sleep, so make sure that your phone is sleeping before you use it, or you might have a dead phone mid-day Hopefully the next version fixes it.
