CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies coming! - XPERIA X8 General

- Hero , Legend and many more got the new CM7
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hero
- Look it has been released last night. Maybe today or tomorrow we will get an update soon for the X8

i know XD
but thanks for your share

Well, about time they got the nightly build bot going again ... after they ran around asking for donations because they obviously need a server infrastructure every CG Animation Studio is jealous about.
Still, doesn't change the fact that the Shakira CM7/FXP ROM is utter crap.

I totally agree with you man. But it is nice to see that CyanogenMod gives a c*ap about our phone , well at least they did give a c*ap in the old days but now i think they aren't even gonna make the damn update. But Dx is gonna make an update on the GingerDx cuz the update was released on the Hero and Legend he can port it and stuff maybe it is good or maybe it is the same like any other CyanogenMod that they built.

A New Dev to join the slide ranks!

And I'm sure a welcome addition to all the current devs!!
From Twitter:
cyanogen
Upgraded my G1 which was on contract to a Slide! Thanks @tmobile_usa
Yep I just seen that posted on his twitter as well!
Wow, that's awesome. I can't wait to see a Cyanogen ROM for the Slide. That would be awesome!
The best news I heared this week the king of STABLE ANDROID has returned
-------------------------------------
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
It is great - but we have some very talented devs on the Slide now. Eugene and Wes and several others have poured many hours into this. I think the team is pretty well rounded!
The addition of cyanogen is like the icing on the cake!
i saw this on Cyanogens twitter earlier as well, makes me very happy, i never upgraded the G1 to CM5.0 but i would love to see this phoen running some CM greatness
LOL and for some reason i was searching for apps for a rooted phone last night and decided to install Cyanogens updater app. Then I come here today to hear he has a MT3GS! Awesome!!!!!!

Looks like it's soon to be CM 6.0 with the Froyo source being released on AOSP today... I predict great things for this phone. Not just good, but great!
Guys, it will be a while until we see cm6 on the mts... I hate to be a real downer but I was excited and all...until... I remembered that just the source code was released. It is the first step to froyo but it will be a few weeks. Sorry...
cyanogen
CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide
Oh Joy!
Yeah I know it would be a while, but it's still something to look foward to. You'd be hard pressed to say that anyone on XDA with an Android phone isnt anticipating FroYo in some way or another...
Hell, CM6 will probably be out for release on the Slide before HTC pushes an OTA for it.
since drop of AOSP we've had so many twitter notifications of updates concerning 2.2 that i'm extremely surprised and amazed. I like to think that sooner rather than later we'll have a froyo release thanks to all the great devs.. I tried to pull the system tree out of the aosp and failed miserably thanks to ubuntu 10.04.. gonna try again, because I think I'd seriously like to learn how much it takes to dev one of these great android roms

I'm pretty sure from all the responses on here that he will be missed in the G1 section. (had the G1 but did not root it or flash custom roms on it) Thats a shame as the G1 is still a great phone and I know a lot of users are sticking with it. But at the same time its a positive thing as the G1 was soo limited on what it could proccess.

Ice Cream Sandwich and other News

Today I have an anouncement.
I will be doing all MIUI development for the X, D2 and D2G. Also, I will be making an update for my barebones CM rom once a month from here on out. Lastly, I will be working on an Ice Cream Sandwich rom from the SDK later this week to have something ready for when source drops. As for my Milestone 2 rom, I am probably going to release what I have and see if someone else can figure out how to get data working with it. I do not have a job where I can constantly be SBF'ing my phone anymore and that rom was the fastest way to break the phone. I still am planning on working on a sense port but that will be far down the road after ICS is out.
Secondly, Since I am working on so many devices right now, expect delays to be there but things still coming out at least. I am taking donations to get my thinkpad working again (since it got killed) that way I can have 2 dev machines. Any phones I can get will help too. Whether it be an X, D2G or D2. Simply put, I don't have enough hardware right now to crank them out very fast and I am asking for donations to expedite releases. I am posting this in the X forum since I will be developing for that device now.
I appreciate anything you guys have given to me before (you guys kept me afloat during my unemployment). I look forward to be doing more releases, but if you guys have anything left to give... It will make this much faster for me. Developing with my phone I use has just become almost out of the question.
Edit: ICS will be my primary rom in development until we get it running. Once DXC does his last release I will be doing just maitenence releases for MIUI.
Looking forward to Ice Cream Sandwich and your MIUI releases on the Droid X =D

let me know if you need a beta tester for DX.
I don't mind sbf'ing a few times a week (day?) to help the cause.
wait to see your nice work!
waiting for good news..thanks

I am REALLY looking forward to what can be done with this! Making any progress?

Android 4.0 ICS for Hero??

Do you think think we will ever see 4.0 or would it be time to move on.
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
Yeah, certainly someone will make a rom or port it But it will probably take a long time before it runs good enough for everyday use and it will probably be a step back in performance from GB :/ But hopefully it will run okay eventually
I agree with Habarug. For now we can't tell for sure if it will or if it will not run on the Hero. Same debate was when Gingerbread sources came out... the Gingerbread was heavy on the hero, it was extremely slow for the first releases, but slowly it became faster and faster and by the latest CM releases it became extremely fast almost like Gingerbread was made for the Hero. At first ICS will be slow as **** but who knows maybe after the ICS sources come out and the devs will "cast their spells", ICS will work on our poor Hero.
Developers often do miracles!! I will pray for the 4.0 on my Hero, since I won't change phone until the new Quad-cores will come out..
Well looks like Feeyo over at the Cronos forums is going to try and get ICS on to the Hero but just like Gingerbread it will be slow for the first few build's.
if not the cpu, I would keep that phone for forever, perfect size, nice screen, resolution, colors.. Glad that it is not dead yet and new roms are coming out if not daily, then weekly. Guess there will be somebody playing on this device, hopefully will succeed

It has been done! The Developers made An exelent job!
There is a ROM but itțs under full development, so you have to wait some time before you can use a stable ICS rom.
I wish all the devs good luck with the new project
Stefan
Would be awsome..
..seeing ICS on my Hero, and I am willing to try and alpha or beta test existing ics Roms for Hero, heard that there is already an Alpha4 outside which is already able to make phone calls.
Looking forward to ICS.
I think the Hero is getting to slow for ICS, it's a real challenge to bring a good ICS rom to the Hero.
I'm just flashing a new rom to my Hero.
i think every dev working on it, and will be a usable 4 ,earlier than u think
I would be suprised if they make it stable and fast enough for everyday use. But fingers crossed.
is under development, there are already 4 beta!
Although Hero is already running ICS, it doesn't mean it should.
We saw a big improvement in performance and features from 1.5 to 2.1. However, the 2.2 improvements were minor and the 2.3 are already trade-offs... some things are better and some are worse.
ICS was designed for 2+ cores and GPUs, which Hero has none.
Definitly right, but sometimes it is just great to have things which are not meant to be.
Unfortunatley the Hero is getting old, but I 'll give him the chance to savor an IceCreamSandwich at least once ;-)
i dont see why our little hero's couldnt defy logic once more
well, the alpha 4 hasn't been updated for two weeks already. It is not going that smooth as you wish for
The Alpha 5 is out already, and I find this version quite fast. I advice everyone to try it if it's not your main phone. It made me quite happy seeing it work so fast.
Ice Cream Sandwich for Hero]
I've tried Alpha 5 and must say it's really optimistic
I made a "test" of ICS on the Hero on my blog : bheller.com/2011/12/15/jai-teste-ice-cream-sandwich-sur-un-htc-hero/ (in french, sorry mates!)
Quite funny to see the Hero still on the edge

Here comes ICS to EVO?

Very excited for this!
You beat me by a few seconds. Lol I just read this on Phandroid.

I hope to be eating an ICS for Thanksgiving!
Can't wait for the roms to start popping up...
cyanogen will get it first. Unless some people and I mean (the awesome team of developers on here) team up and shoot it out like there isn't a tomorrow.
Excited about my EVO again!!!
Can't wait! Having this on the EVO will make me resist upgrading for a while longer!
Waitin' for the EVO version

Don't hold your breath...
I read elsewhere that even with 250gb+ of HD space and 16gb RAM were looking at 5+ hours to compile.
Not to mention all the tweaking that has to happen for the vanilla to work on specific devices.
Aaaahhhh can't wait. Too excited.

I could see the first CM9 build around the end of December or Mid January. Patience is the key.

Pretty sure that's what "Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Source Code Available Now!" in the title of the article means
First post for you yay!
Everyone sounds confident that we'll be getting ICS on the Evo. Has there been any confirmation (by the Cyanogen team or otherwise) that this device was going to make the cut? It's getting a bit long in the tooth, phone-wise. I'd love to eek out a few more months of use out of it though. Best phone I've had so far.

Cyanogenmod already said they'd work to develop an ICS build [CM 9] but refused to do so until official source was released, which it has been.
Right, but was the Evo 4G specifically mentioned as being supported? CM9 might not (probably won't) be available on all devices that CM7 supports.
It probably won't be supported on something like the Hero or older legacy devices which barely made the cut for CM7. I have a good feeling that the EVO will still get ICS because it hasn't had the life bled out of it yet like the G1 or other highly supported phones.
ive been waiting for this since honeycomb i am so excited and evo should make the cut its not to old of a device probably wont be an official release but still it works

I think it will be for xiaomi android phone only. There was not specified device yet.
i wonder from where they get half of their work.
But never mind that, i never liked their rom's so probably i won't be using this one also...
Just looks like this thread (i.e. facebook) regurgitated into a speculative blog post. In other words, pointless spam.
I don't think that the miui devs are able to make it work without the underlying stuff from the cm9 guys.
But i have to admit that im using the latest miui, because its just nice to look out without investing much time in tweaking the look'n'feel. I guess miui will loose a lot of fans when ics is out, becajse its so polished

In the same boat, NEVER had any ambition to try miui. Last week I gave the latest galnet build a try and wow! Most people wont bother to try (like me) but if you have 20 minutes, do yourself a favor and nandroid and try out galnet or regular miui.
Maybe there WILL be MIUI for some devices next week - there already are some really good Custom-ICS-ROMs for some devices right now...
Unfortunately, development for our device will take a little longer - mic during calls, camera, etc. aren't working yet, so there's no working code MIUI Team can steal!
