Not to say he's above the other modders, but I've been a Cyanogen fan since the old days of my G1, so I'm very excited to hear this.
AWESOME!!!! Cannot wait!!!

I think it's more that he's the most well known ROM generator for android since the early days and, to my knowledge, on the front of the curve of new things as well (due to his own skills and also, I believe, due to his fame...people who figure new things out will likely report it to him to get it integrated into his ROMs right away too).
This is good news.
I'm still running a stock ROM. I'm waiting for something big to come out before I flash a new one.

Yea we don't even have kernel source yet
I wonder why HTC is being such a ***** with the kernel source. They were fairly quick to release them for their other devices.

Sense in CM6?
Okay, this is a BURNING question in my brain, someone please answer it.
When CM6 is released for the Evo, will sense be included?
because i've started to really despise sense since i've gotten the Evo, and i really hope CM6 looks and performs exactly the same on the Evo as it does the Nexus.
FYI cyanogen got an Evo yesterday for 300 bucks from someone.
Epic.
Can't wait.

Just for clarifications sake and since I've been around since the G1, Cyanogen was not the first, that title belongs to JesusFreke. Haykuro was the first to bring SenseUI to the G1. Cyan fame-dom came after they took their, either quiet or loud exit. All 3 brought their A game and advanced the rooting community to where it is today.
So anyway...this is definitely good news. I've gotten my EVO in the last couple of days and have been reluctant to root. I'm not the trusting type when it comes to my phone so seeing Cyanogen working on this device makes me much happier. I know with CM roms there will be less forcecloses and MOAR WIN.
I'm excited about this one. The EVO is basically my first Android phone (I had a backflip for a while, but there isn't even a root it) so I haven't used cyanogen in the past, but his reputation is good, and I think his roms are the kind I am looking for. If I understand they are very close to stock AOSP, with some performance tweaks, but with a very high focus on stability, and sometimes more stable than the OEM releases.
I love some of the ROMs we have currently, but it seems like many of the devs value features and speed tweaks over stability.
cyanogen is great, I used his Roms on the Droid and loved them. Can't wait for the Evo release.
I tried contacting Cyanogen via Twitter, but he never responded. I know that the Galaxy S is listed as a supported device for CM6, but I don't know if this includes the Epic.

Well yes, but it is like the black sheep of the family. I'm pretty sure a CM6 build for the Vibrant/Captivate wouldn't work on the Epic due to the hardware differences.

The difference chances are would be minor...there is no reason why not to support it...
Reason my guess it will be minor is it would be too much hassle for samsung to create separate firmware just for 1 phone one 1 carrier when they are distributing the phone to so many companies...so chances are it will be 99% the same..

Just because Samsung's ROM is close doesn't mean the AOSP ROM will cleanly transition from one device to another without individual tweaks.

Well of course....just by the fact that it has a wimax radio means it will require tweaks...but I'm saying the tweaks will most likely be minor.
I just wanted to make sure the CM team was willing to make those tweaks and support the Epic.

I don't think not having Cyanogen is a dealbreaker.
Cyanogen was what made me love my Nexus, but it doesn't make a phone unlove-able.
As long as there is a good recovery image, optimized kernals, and theme support in the community, I'd be happy.
Then again, if he just made CM6 for the Epic, it would make things alot better.

That is true. I am so anxious to get this phone, I am going to keep my nexus though as my stand alone developer phone and dev android only, it is a headache to dev on my nokia n900 sometimes.
I don't want to have to rely on Samsung for software. I've heard Touchwiz is buggy and slow and Samsung has a bad reputation for pushing out updates. The hardware on the other hand looks absolutely phenomenal and with CM6 loaded on it, it would leave other phones in the dust.

We don't even have full Froyo working yet..(specifically the JIT)..things take time...
As for Touchwiz being laggy isn't really true, whats lagging is the crappy RFS partition which is limiting our I/O...thus causing the lag...we have a fix for it but it still needs a bit improvement...
But for this phone chances are Samsung will support it...

I can't really speak too much on it, being that I don't own one, but apparently the community fix raises the I/O performance back within the range of the Droid X. I'm not worried at all about it, personally. If Samsung doesn't fix it, the community will

It's already better than the Nexus One (ugly). This thing is svelte. I'm glad it still has the antenna bump because it's the reason why our reception is good. The Fascinate doesn't have this bump and it has some reception issues with losing service because of the smaller antenna.
- The speakerphone will rock
- SAMOLED
- Flash for those that need one
- LED Notification light for those that need one
- GPS is probably going to work out of the box
- Stock Android
- Good Reception, better than the Nexus One that's for certain
- PERFECT size
- Updates handled by Google
I don't think the Nexus S has super amoled, does it?
That phone is the reason that the Vibrant will probably never see Android 2.3 (or won't for another 6 months or so).
Unless the Nexus S is sporting a 1280x760 screen then its not worth considering if you already have a Vibrant

It's definitely worth it because of the update. I'm getting rid of the Vibrant once I get my hands on the S. Samsung needs to step up and support the damn updates.

You're not going to see much of anything until source code is released, or at the very least Google pushes out the update to the Nexus One. There's not a whole lot you can do with just the SDK.
It is "working" already on the Desire. With a lot of things that don't function yet. But it's nice to have a look at it, although it's still very slow.
that might just be the emulator version
which is horrible
Oh just thought there was a leaked rom out there somewhere

Come on! Dev's have gotten SDK rips for the Evo, Eris, and even the HD2 booted. I figure since the Nexus One WAS the official dev phone, we should get a rip too. I realize that we'll probably have gingerbread in a few days but still, I'M IMPATIENT
I wish I was a bit smarter, I would do the rip myself. I don't know the first thing about reverse engineering or programming though

I've been looking for the original Cyan (Morph or Mod?) for the lockscreen that shows Messaging sliders etc too. I had it on an older pre-Nandroid backup and lost it. Can you point me to the thread in the Dev forum where I can get it please?
I looked and looked but couldn't find it. I'd like the original morph, not the whole Gingerbread theme if possible.
Thanks for your help with this.

Dont be too hopeful. Google said that ICS wont be available for Nexus One and that's a more powerful phone than the Aria. Maybe they lack manhours to do it, but in that case, we would need a big Dev backing up the Aria, and since it aint such a popular phone...

I'm sure there will be a stable ics rom for the aria even if its not cm9. I have a very early one on my aria atm which runs well. Its not my everyday phone so idc that it does not have mobile or wifi lol. I just wanted to play around with ics.
IMO the sense 2.1 + 3.0 rom is more resource intensive than an aosp build of ICS. We'll see a smooth port on the aria, I'm sure of it. Not supporting the N1 was a business decision on Google's part not to support legacy hardware.
