Cyanogen released rc4

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.

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.

CM8 is being rumored...Honeycomb edition

I find that extremely unlikely, there is no Honeycomb source code from which to build.

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.

A500 roms?

what is going on with the custom roms on this forum? seems like there is no real action? the custom roms that are available are very buggy and no updates.... anyone know? did most of the developers leave? I know mdeejay from virtuous and he's awesome, wth happen that caused him to leave?

Nothing happened, that's the problem. When Acer releases their 3.2 update then you should see some action. I am betting no dev wants to work on a "test" build and would rather build off the official Acer update coming in a few days (or it better).

I think the lack of development has more to do with not having source code. At this point all the roms are just slimmed down hacked/ports of the original release. If source is ever released then we will see some serious action,

Yes, I expect Acer will release source with the update as most manufacturers do. No reason to keep the source private.

Acer can release kernel source any time but google isn't releasing HC source. Wait for ice cream sandwich. That release will include source code.

ICS evo Rom?

Anyone working on an sdk port? They have stable builds over at ns4g that work flawlessly for the most part. So?

Stable builds and working for the most part is pretty contradictory.

Lol you know what I mean

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

I know on the evo shift they already have a rom that half works..

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

Nice .... but hope we get a fully functioning CM7 for our EPIC first

And Cyanogen decided to skip it, I think I recall reading that Honeycomb source was never released (and may not be, although I can't recall the reason that was given)

Honeycomb source is released, but wouldn't cm8 be pointless to make when cm9 will be both for tablets/phones

Honeycomb source was never released, Google didn't want further fragmentation of devices.

Their version number is CM and the number of the named version of Android. Ice cream sandwich will be the 9th version of Android.

This. They released it, but advised people "to just use ics"

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.

Ics for nexus s available for dl from tmobile

So will this speed things up a bit as far as other devices go? I know that rom itself won't work..duh
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

well, the release of the update not really, since it'll only allow for some more wacky ports.
however the source for the Nexus S and the Xoom was also released, (along with a version bump to 4.0.3) which might fix some things.
all in all i think the CM team is workingon it and they didnt get anything that is usefull in making ICS work for our phones, only something that made ICS more stable in genral
