CM9 Progress report
......
Read caefull dave ...he speculated by stating so will our device? Not our device......read...not rush my friend...
kinda sucks that Motorola Droid users are getting dropped.
But I imagined it was only a matter of time...
The hardware is starting to get limited.
But I wonder if a dual core phone will be the last phone I will ever buy?
It would take quite some time for the OS to exceed the power of a dual core phone.
I think there's a pretty good chance the G2 will be one of the first devices, based on this update.

The G2's SOC is based on the MSM7230 chip:

We'll see what the future holds. Very much looking forward to trying out ICS!
Humm!! I do not see a lot of change for the MSM7230 on cyanogen's git

Surely it's down to how much CPU the apps use, rather than the OS ?

Well, Cyanogenmod himself owns a G2, so he'd be working on it personally.
Amy news here? I see a new room based on the cm9 code, but no word on the actual cm9...

I'm also very much looking forward to CM9 for the Desire Z.
All good things come to those who wait!
"The first devices that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30,"
Sounds Desire Z is surely had the arrow on the knee ...
Hope they got the graphical and camera driver developed better than the current ported/AOSP based ICS.
I posted this the other day in the CM7 thread in the dev forum :
Update on CM9 from Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself :
We've been seeing some alpha builds of CM9 for a few devices. Where are things at right now?
We’re working on adding a lot of new features ... the theme engine needs to be totally rebuilt. Overall things are going to be a lot cleaner. The CM settings will all be integrated into the stock control panel. Everything in it's place, where it should be. The hardeset thing about CM9 is that Google has changed so much internally with ICS. Issues with graphics drivers are an issue. We can’t even write a transition layer to use. We’re just waiting on Google at this point. I’ve ported CM9 to the galaxy tab 10.1, but with no hardware acceleration... well, it just sucks. A lot of things don't work. We're not going to release something at this stage of development.

Looks like it's not going to be very soon.
By the way, I clarified with Steve that it is not Google they are waiting on, but graphics drivers from official vendor ICS updates.

Thanks for the update, I have to admit though that I am becoming more and more impatient.
But, I know it will be worth the wait.
I have also been waiting impatiently for CM9, i've been a die-hard CM user since my G1...but a good alternative until they are done is Virtuous Quattro...right now at RC2, but it runs very well on my G2

I've been following the thread and there seems to still be many glitches in RC2. Does it run smoothly on your phone? Also does the camera work if u use a 3rd party app? I'm think of switching over to virtuous quattro
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium App
Virtuous Quattro is pretty cool, and once the display issues stabilize, it will probably get a permanent place on my phone unless cm9 blows me away.

I think I may try this one Monday. I had a replacement phone sent to me last week because of a display issue (turning shades of green and sometimes not waking up). The replacement they sent me is now going into a boot cycle when I try and turn on the WiFi, and it doesn't find any networks. Plus, I updated the stock Froyo to Gingerbread, and it looks like a pain somewhat to downgrade.
So maybe when I get the new one in Monday it will have stock Froyo and I can root and install the Virtuous Quattro ROM then.
Maybe you guys can answer a question since I am thinking about it now, if I do root it and everything with stock Froyo, do I just make a backup with ClockworkMod to keep the stock image?
my ics experience: virtuous quattro RC2, Andromadus Alpha 8, ICS Slim 1.2
I tried all three ICS ROMs on my G2 this weekend. Kudos to the devs -- they are all worthy projects. I am back to CM7, though while waiting for CM9 or a more stable version of the other three. Here is my feedback:
Virtuous Quattro RC2:
This is an impressive ROM, but definitely not RC -- the launcher display glitch is a showstopper if only for aesthetic reasons. I'm glad that the camera hack exists (progress!), but it's not yet usable, or at least not reliable. It often crashes, doesn't show preview until the second picture, and often corrupts part of the photo. Also, no wifi-calling which is a must have for many T-Mobile G2 users.
Andromadus Alpha 8:
This ROM is more stable than Virtuous Quattro in terms of visual glitches, but it lacks camera and wifi-calling. I missed some of the settings and features built into Quattro.
ICS Slim 1.2
This ROM performs quite nicely and is definitely slim. I missed the stock Email app, but it was easy to add back in by unzipping an ICS Gapps file. Wifi-calling is installed but not working for me. I was able to launch the app, and get the icon in the notification bar, but wasn't able to actually place or receive calls. Incoming calls were ignored, and outgoing calls would spin on dialing for about 20 seconds, and then end with a beep.

Same here I was thinking we'd see CM9 sometime in february but by the looks of things and how slow the development is, I can only hope for march/april
http://miuiandroid.com/2012/01/miui-rom-2-1-6-ics-v4-0-miuiandroid-english-version/
So many devices have this newer version of MIUI and some of them are the Vibrant I9000 and Captivate. Does this mean we are next to receive it since our fellow Galaxy S have received it?It says it's based of ICS 4.0 and seems like the only Rom close to bringing us any type of ICS goodness unless CM9 is coming first. Im just curious I saw the list of phones that have it but the EPIC wasnt listed and I became sad.
Anyone know more of this than I do really hoping it does come to our phones..
Sorry. We won't get it until after cm9 is available and considering that the cm team for epic just started on cm9, we're still a ways away. Sorry, but I just steal their stuff and add it to existing miui.us galaxy s series devices roms. So without it, I have nothing to add from epic. We can however get the gb version of 2.1.6 (the miui.us team is doing both gb and ics builds still). The CM team is incredible, so give them some time and they'll give us a great build. I think on ics, I may have to recommend cm9 over miui.us 4.0 because miui.us looks 99.999999% the same as miui.us gb, but cm9 provides a fresh new ui. Just my opinion though. I'll continue to maintain miui.us on ics as long as there's enough demand.

How come you keep saying its the same, i looked at the screenshots in the original release information and it looks a lot different. I saw the music, gallery and contacts app and those look like a mix between MIUI and ICS which is exactly what I want.

Thats pretty much all they changed though. There's a better browser and slightly different user interface to the messaging app. At least based on the videos I've watched and talking to people who've run it on the Nexus on the MIUI.US IRC.
EDIT: It looks really nice on the Galaxy Nexus though. But on the Nexus S/4G it looks pretty much the same as before.
It's finally here! A few days ago, the CM team released official cyanogenmod 9 builds for over 28 different devices, including the xperia play. These RC1 builds are much more stable, faster, and have better battery life than most fan-made ports, or previous nightly builds.
My play is broken so I can't test, but the CM9 I installed on my s2 a few days ago is far faster, and functional, than any CM9 build tried previous. The s2 build is of course also a just-released RC1 done on the same day.
I've noticed certain things like my GPS which had problems on every other ROM is suddenly working very well.
Be sure to go over the cyanogenmod website and grab a copy! You won't regret it.

No kidding, seeing as how we've had THE EXACT SAME BOTS building nightlies for almost a month.. btw, fxp is the maintainer for cm9 so anything on cm9 has gone through his team..exact.same.rom.
Hey guys, The OP is just saying that he feels it's more stable and some people aren't aware that it's now official even though it has been out a little while....but OP probably should post the link to download for Zeus & Zeusc. I think CDMA is Zeusc. I always thought FXP was somehow different but you are probably right.lol

Hi
Hi guys, will this work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Anyone tested yet?
I searched around Cyanogen downloads, RC1 isn't present there in the list, just the NIGHTLY releases.
I will look forward to test this amazing rom by CM9.
Cheers to all.

My zoom has always had EOS on it so I don't see why I would go stock. The EOS team has always surpassed my expectations for what to include in their roms.

Only one person mentioned being disappointed with EOS JB (which is brand new and in its early stages of enhancements) as opposed to EOS ICS (which is fully mature and magnificent). Let me tell you...the EOS JB Rom will only get better and is 100% fully functional now. I've never heard of that commenter and he/she probably doesn't know some of the tricks to increase smoothness. Also, stock JB will not incorporate linaro enhancements...
I expect big things from EOS with a Jelly Bean flavored ROM, but for right now, reading through the thread, it isn't there yet. The OTA is fully functional, so I'm going to stick with it until the EOS team has a release candidate.
OP asked for everyone's thoughts! These are mine.
Have used Teameos and Cyanogenmod in the past, current and future. Technically I had a Canadian Xoom and it is poorly supported by Moto Canada so I jumped into the custom ROMs. Makes for a much better experience. Fortunately the developers support the WiFi Xoom better then Motorolla Canada. Thank you.

Used both briefly.
Moto's is missing the hotword capability in google now.
EOS has it, but I thought you could hotword from the home screen instead of being inside google now.
EOS no doubt for me as I am from the UK and moto hasn't even released ICS over here yet plus eos sorts bugs out in a day or two Motorola would take weeks
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
will eos use the OTA from yesterday as the new source/basis for their JB work?
Motorola update for now - two big reasons (for me):
- Stachre's updates always properly flash the bootloader and system images while doing full wipes. I love this...I feel it gives me a fresh start and it provides upgrade integrity.
- Stock kernel is nice for now and everything feels smooth although I havent tried the recent nightlies of EOS - so it could be comparable.
However, EOS will no doubt add awesome functionality and more than likely Linaro improvements. When this happens I will go back to EOS.
We all win big when the OTA's hit devices though. They are both crucial (Stock and EOS)
Team eos definitely,

But of course! (But to be honest, there weren't any Earthshaking changes- EOS and Moto are essentially running the same code-base, and surprisingly enough the NVidia Graphics Core stuff (OpenGL, etc.) didn't change at all.)
Having not used the official OTA, I can't say for sure, but I would say if you're familiar with using beta roms and working around small bugs, definitely go with EOS. If you want something stable, official.
Since the radios were fixed, EOS is pretty stable, considering. As long as you're not one of those people that expects a rom that's still in development to be perfect, then bashes the rom in the forums when it's not, I would recommend trying it.
Can't compare the official JB update but EOS 3 nightlies have been faster than the official ICS build by Motorola, so I am happy plus I love the quick toggles that are found on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. EOS only gets better and I look forward to updates improving speed.

Not sure if I am alone on this and I am sure I will probably get a lot of heat. Our 7.7 has been out close to a year now (correct me if I am wrong) and I am a bit sad that there isn't much development on this tab. I keep an eye on the development section and so far all there is is the following: custom rom based on ICS, straight CM9, straight CM10, Nexus 7 based on CM10, Paranoid based on CM10 and one other one and guess what based on CM10. So that's 2 based on ICS and 4 based on JB but 5 of them are CM builds. To some people 6 custom roms seem to be a good thing but in reality there are only 2. I don't count all the different flavors of CM as an individual rom because it's the basic rom and devs just put their own spin on it. Now I am not putting down any of the CM team and I know CM is a very popular rom but why isn't anyone else coming up a JB rom that is NOT based on CM. I have tried 3 different versions of the CM flavor ROMS and there are many issues. Now I have addressed those issues in their respective threads and have been told many times before that this is just how CM has built and either I use it or not, that's all good and no problem, but not happy about it at the same time.
I would just like for someone to come out with a JB rom that is NOT based on any CM build as too keep all functions working PROPERLY. Maybe the lack of development is because there aren't many 7.7 units available in the USA (I am not counting the Verizon model as the majority are all imports) and their current price is a big drawback. Now that the Nexus 7 will be released with 3G and will probably be more affordable than our 7.7 I predict that development will surely die out and people will jump straight to the Nexus 7 with 3G and us current owners will be left on the dark unless and official JB update is released (I doubt it).
This is my rant and my opinion please respect it, once again I am not here to disrespect anyone and applaud your support for this device even if there isn't much.

But when all is said and done.....even stock ROM ICS gives us a damned great tab. We can always hope (delusionally perhaps) Samsung will release a JB update.....but even if not, I quite look forward to years of enjoyment with my 7.7.
