a wiki for installing CM is available to he Vibrant:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Samsung_Galaxy_S_(Vibrant)
NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Vibrant.
It is not available right not and it won't be for a while. They are working on a port, but don't even think about asking when.
So when is the eta on cm6 for the vibrant?

That last comment shows me that wes doesnt want to work on the galaxy, but has to since people donated to him.
Eh, I understand his 'laziness'. The man works full-time.....in retail.
Moved to General forum. The development forum is only for development threads. (Threads with actual development happening.)
Questions should always be in the General forums (or Q&A if your device has a Q&A forum.)
And to the comment of wes not wanting to work on it, speaking as a developer, wes works full time and probably also has a life. He may have a girlfriend or a wife. He also had already promised a Slide CM6 release. Give him time to finish the Slide port and move on to the galaxy port. He can't spend his every waking moment coding stuff. Granted, he did take the donations required to get the phone, so he can't just ignore it, but I don't think he's ignoring it, either. Be patient.
I don't think Wes has a girlfriend

Well i think it doesn't matter if he has a girlfriend or not, that's something personal... he may have a life.
Patience is a virtue guys, relax, enjoy your phone and things will come in not so long.
I meant he has no enthusiasm for this phone, hes only working on it because he has to.
"because he has to."
Is someone holding a gun to his head?
Well, as a Day 1 G1 owner, I would give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. He has done some amazing stuff for the community. Honestly, he can't port to all phones. If he tries too many, it could get bad.
I never mentioned a gun or that he cant do great things. He likes the slide better than the Vibrant. He will without a doubt spend more time with it than the vibrant, because he wants to use it. Im willing to bet a large chunk of the phone cost came from donations based on peoples hope for cm6, which is why he "has to".

I sympathize with him. I work in retail too, and it can be extremely draining with very little job satisfaction.

I doubt that. I've been following CyanogenMod development for a while, and he straight-up volunteered to get a Vibrant (especially when the donations started coming in) and work on a CM port.
Check http://github.com/wesgarner
He has been doing quite a bit of work on it!
Please stop speculating....
I have been following the CyanogenMod team for awhile! Wes isn't porting the CM over to the Vibrant/Captivate because of donations!!! He volunteered to work on it - FIRST! THEN, he got donations!
Wes committed himself to the Slide community to getting a working Slide CM6 port. So, it is only natural that he follow through on that commitment first! That shows honesty and integrity.
Give him time to work on that port and get it finished. THEN he will start serious work on the Vibrant/Captivate! Time may equal months - not weeks!
He also has a life outside of Android modifications. Many people here seem to think that these ports are easy - THEY ARE NOT! there are hundreds of tiny, tedious, meticulous details that have to be taken care of. Most of the time the kernel, the drivers, and the ROM ALL have to be tweaked to get everything working properly and they all have to work together.
If they don't - some snot nosed, unappreciative Noob will get on the forums and complain about how the dev should have had everything fixed before releasing the ROM!
Oh, and when the ROM IS RELEASED - please file the appropriate bug reports on the CM repository AFTER you check that your bug hasn't already been reported.
So, be patient and understanding - AND, CYANOGENMOD/TEAMDOUCHE RULE #1 - DON'T ASK HOW LONG TILL THE RELEASE!! LOL!!!
something inside telling me that we will not see good/stable cm6 on Vibrant this year I am more worried about official Froyo....then by the time 3.0 comes, I hope Galaxy line will have enough devs to cook a ROM in a month

^^^This
Wes did an amazing job with OpenEclair and will do a great job with the Slide and Vibrant as well.
some of you should read this thread back over... Vibrant community is starting to sound like the post haykuro(whatever his name was) G1 community. If you havent donated $ then shut up and wait. Cant wait? Scared CM6 wont come to the vibrant? Im sure you can sell it or trade someone for it. Just stop with the immature BS and gossip. Ggggeeeeezzzzzz!

[Q] Proposal to merge all Galaxy S family into 1 neat and big sub forum

Yes this is exactly what we need. Since the poll is positive, when will we see the forums merge together?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Great idea. I voted in the orignal thread.
They did it with so many other phones, why not the galaxy s series?
I don't get it, and not many do. I came from the touch pro series and it doesn't bother me to have separate subs; rapheal is a great example of how it works out to combine em in one.

^bump^
as i don't have any Mod power to make it a sticky, much less make the original topic cross posted across the 5 SGS forums
This would help a lot!
I'd be okay with merging the Vibrant, Captivate, and that Verizon model, but I feel that the Galaxy S is too different in both hardware and software to merge it. Do we really want to be dealing with people who flashed the wrong ROM that was in the same forum?

Actually we have more similarities with the Galaxy S then the Vibrant and Captivate >.>
If you read the post the Development forums will have separate subforums for device specific stuff...but things like General and etc will be merged so more people will be able to assist you..our device are pretty much 95%-99% identical.
I think its a pretty good idea. We don't want development scattered. United we stand strong!

Please make this happen!
*Flashed back to the Hero forum before they where separate* Horrible Idea wanting to put CDMA and GSM phones in the same area - many a Hero where sent to an early grave by mixing the Dev boards for these 2. Someone posts a GSM radio update and a CDMA guy gets it thinking "Hey, what the Hell, couldn't hurt!" and there goes their $500.00 phone. Then they something about having insurance replace it and a huge debate starts over insurance fraud. And I've been told that insurance on the Epic is a one time use, then they drop it and you are Ef'd on a second one.
So consider this my vote against a huge forum of all GS devices. Also, with the hardware differences on a kernel level I have to think this would be a developer nightmare. As active as all 5 boards are already, there would be no way to keep up as a community to help each other out. Your thread would be buried in 10 minutes and we would have to deal with 5 times as many people asking stupid "Which rom is the best" or "How do I root my phone" questions without searching.

The proposition includes having separate development forums for each device. Only the General and Apps forums would be combined. Check out the link in the OP for more info.
lol wouldn't it be funny if they all merged and than the other Galaxy S phones want to divorce from the Epic because of no Tv-Out.
"They're mutants!!!"
sorry about the cross forum posting guys, but until we get this other issue solved
Proposal to merge all Galaxy S family into 1 neat and big sub forum
this is the only way to keep in touch across the separate forums
Head over to the CyanogenMod forums and vote for the Epic 4G so we know just how many people are anxiously awaiting CM6.1.
Someone started a similar thread in the Captivate forum here, and now the Captivate votes are seriously out of proportion, so I'm rectifying that by posting here and in the other Galaxy S forums so we can have accurate representation for all models. Follow this link to vote.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7835-what-galaxy-s-do-you-have/
Wow. I picked up this phone knowing there wasn't a very large development community. It looks like there's practically no community at all!
I don't think its that bad for around a month and a half
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
wow this isnt looking too good
Not looking good for CM6.1 but the other 4-5 ROMs that are out are not bad and the phone itself has only been out 1 1/2 months. Of course, though, it has a long way to go before it reaches Evo's level of dev. support.
if you actually read the thread, cirwl a mod there said that the order of releases is as follows
1) Vibrant & Epic 4g
2) Kernel Port for Captivate Suppport
3) Kernel Port for I9000 support
4) ???????
much of this thanks to noobnl
I keep standing up, hell Ive even been walking.
Of course there is people waiting for cyanogen mod, there are people waiting who dont even know they are waiting. The phone has been out less than 1 month and 1/2.
Vote cast! Anxiously awaiting
I'm pretty happy so far with the Modding community for the epic considering how long its been out.
Hey folks
Just wanted to drop a big THANK YOU to all the helping folks here in the forums and the awesome developer community.
You're just great.
I started reading these forums half a year ago. No clue of android.
Just an old HTC desire ...
So I startred reading the dummy how-tos, decided to root my Desire, what lead me to the root how-tos.
After rooting, the customer support of HTC sucked. I flashed cyanogen7.
Happy till today. (link2sd ^^ ... )
Then I rooted my Transformer 101, flashed a bunch of roms, got stuck in the recovery loop, many of us know, got out of it, flashed new recovery, flashed different kernels, than the Roms include ...
And all just by reading these forums.
Damn, you guys rock \m/
I posted a very similar thread here myself a few months back..isn't it awesome here? (besides the obvious trolls lol)
I'm learning to develop ROMs and apps now thanks to the community here, learned how to use git, and even met a few people that I work with now outside of the site on android development. Community is the best part of this place, but even lacking the community the information here is massive lol

You're right. But I as a dummy I fell some kind of mercy with all those, that take the time to explain something a 100 times, that was explained at the start of a topic ...
The amount of information here is truly massive.
Big thanks from me too. I start reading this forum 4 months ago and tunned up my transformer. It's alot better than wen i bought it...
It's a fantastic community and it must have our appreciation!
Yes..agree
There's some great folks here in all sorts of threads..
Some grumpy old folks
Some green folks
Some pain in the arse folks..
But as a whole it makes for a better user experience for us all on our devices.
Edit.. and a thanks to the Mods for keeping us all under control..

Hello XDA,
My name is swagstr and I am as some would call a developer and others would call a contributor. Either way, I have created two very successful ROMs, SOS+ (X/S/M) for the HTC EVO 4G and SOS M for the HTC EVO 3D.
I have a vision for a new project and I was hoping to get as many developers and contributors as possible to help with this project.
The project is titled: All Swagged Out Project. It is a play on the way most people misspell AOSP.
The goal is simple. Every time a new developer or contributor begins to dig his/her heels in and tries to learn how to modify Android, this person has to search and search and search. I was hoping that the people that develop and contribute for the EVO devices could take the lead and create a repository of sorts for modifications.
A wise man named tommytomatoe (developer of The Classic ROM for the HTC EVO 4G) once said: "Sharing is caring." I fully believe in this motto and hope that everyone in the EVO community feels the same way. I have opened up several threads over at the SOS Forums where people can post their original (or borrowed) mods and tweaks for the EVO 4G LTE, 3D, V, and 4G. I would not be opposed to having these posted at XDA, but I think I would be nice to the XDA moderators if I took the moderating of these threads on myself. My goal is to moderate these threads and add as much information as possible to provide the best ROMs for EVO users.
I think this could revolutionize knowledge sharing in the Android community and I hope EVO users can lead the way.

Have a great day
Interesting...........so we would have to register on this site in order to contribute to this project of yours??
Since it's a forum, I'd imagine so...
I could c people responding with different mods they find or make and posting them here and u maintaining a off site website where u store the mods in different categories. But it couldn't be in a forum like settings as redirecting from xda to another forum is frown upon.
XDA Moderator
I figure that if I added, say, my Guide, I'd have to upload all the files that are linked in there to my dev-host, for example, then copy/paste the info with the links going to my site, instead of the xda links. I think that's what you.re trying to say, Smurf?

Yeah the point I was trying to make was that since it is a forum that it will require people to sign up in order to contribute and this MIGHT be considered a form of advertising his site!
I know what he's trying to do is helpful BUT is the way that is being handled......that's why I said it was interesting! Obviously, I'm no moderator BUT I've been on XDA long enough to know that this kind of stuff like Papa Smurf said is frown upon.
We'll see what comes of this project...hahahaha

Even though this is a great idea,i would'nt see having to go off site and register to post our knowledge/guides/mods and others from this forum as a redirect from XDA,but i would be interested if you would concider keeping this here on XDA instead.I think i have a few things to contribute that i've learned over time.
I appreciate the ideas and I like the discussion. Suggestions for how to keep this maintained on XDA?

Sharing is caring is something completely different then what swagstr is trying to do
YES he's trying to create something like a one stop shop for people starting up to help them and not cause them to spend hours and hours of searching.
The issue on hand I believe is that having it on a different site causes an issue with XDA rules and policies
Anyways, my suggestion to you swagstr is that you should request people to send you guides, suggestions, tips or whatever via PM and when you have enough of them.....start up a thread in the general section or maybe the development section.
Once you get enough guides or whatever, request that it be turn into a sticky
Hope everything works out as this is something that in my personal opinion could prove to be helpful if done correctly!
Let me know what you end up going with and I'll write up a few guides to contribute to it!
A thing like this is something I would be interested in.....
