This is off topic, but I couldn't help but share. Our little Android's have a little secret they're hiding. I've flashed multiple ROMs and this trick still works. It's nothing much, but interesting none the less.
Press your menu key>settings>about phone
Now find 'android version' and click it repetitively and quickly. I'll just let you guys figure out the secret.

Pretty sure it's a Jelly Bean easter egg, not just 4.2. Also, Cyanogen modded the easter egg in CM10 to be little cyanogen guys too.
You can get some pretty nice artwork on Decks Reloaded when you do the Easter Egg
This has been in there since gb.

I've been following the progress of the Cyanogenmod development for the Vibrant lately and it seems to be moving pretty quickly, i.e. there already booting into the main UI, I believe. Anyway, I'm still wondering if anyone out there has even a rough estimate of when it will be available for the Vibrant? Thanks in advance.

Some time in the near, or distant future. One of Cyanogens pet peeves are people asking when it will be there whenever they are able to get it done. All of the dev's have loved ones, jobs etc. We can give estimates all day long ranging from early September to late October/November. Sadly the only ones that do know would be Wes.

thanks for the reply, I know all of the devs have other obligations, i.e. there lives. I'm in no huge hurry for froyo, although it would be very nice, I'll just wait for the official update if it ever comes.

if you arent in a hurry for it then why are you asking for an eta? why dont you go and try to get it working? if you dont contribute anything dont expect stuff from people, no one owes you anything.

I obviously care, and I would like it soon, but I'm not going to hound Wes or any other devs about it, and I don't think posting a question in a thread counts. I'm not a dev and I can't code, so the best I can do is beta/alpha test, and if no one helps me that's perfectly fine.
*1 in the annointing. Cyanogen ftw..

lol nice I think were about 3 weeks away from a release considering we will get the update then, and the rest will follow after that ...

Man I really started one hell of a flame war here, lol .
Honestly Im in NO big hurry for CM6 to come to the Vibrant. I mean I have two other devices running CM6 so I'm enjoying the fact that Vibrant ROMs for now are something of a different nature.

Lol I was being flamed in the fm radio thread just shooting a suggestion. Can we get a rant and rave section and piss each other off. Personally im liking the TW ui. If any ROM comes out still holding the TW ui then ill be happy. Otherwise im just sticking to what I have.

What draws you to the UI? cause ADW has the sides scrolling option that TW does but you can use themes and such.
Ive seen the adw drawer. It is very similar and I like the convience of the scrolling bottom on the home screen. But im not too sure of stability. I heavily modded my g1. And from time to time I would get force closes. Im trying to minimize the mods on this phone. The adw drawer is not bad. But right now its not something I want on the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The TW drawer is nice, on my phone ADW doesn't load right. When I first go to the tray it gets stuck in a loop where it keeps wanting to load the tray it just can't. After about 5 tries it usually loads. The stock icon's look better than the adw galaxy s theme, and even when I say use stock icons it doesn't use the phones stock icons.
aawww, I missed a flame war.
What's a good flame without little old me?
lol jp
I like TW too.
I like some of the samsung apps over the stock ones.
I'm not as interested in CM6 as I am in Froyo Period.
I would like to see a sense rom, but i doubt that will happen.
Thread closed and cleaned up.
It's starting to look like a 2.3 rom will never come to vibrant

I'm using CM7 right now, as are many others on this forum. It's up to you if you think it's a daily driver or not, but it's there, right now.
Patience, there's two people working on it (not together) xboarder, and krylon. Its hard to make a 2.3 from scratch.
Cm7 should be out of beta for i9000 pretty soon. Just be patient.
Remember when people questioned if the G1 would ever get updated? You know... the 3 year old Grandpa of all Android phones.
IT is running a newer version of the OS than my Vibrant. Have faith and patience man.
The same old 2.2 roms passing around, people editing icons & backgrounds, changing boot screens & apps. But at the end of the day there all froyo. eugene's macnutR14 is the most customized rom. bionix is nice but doesn't have video calls on the dialer. you can metamorph, ninjamorph, flash, push, oc your phone but its still 2.2 froyo
I want to see all the 2.3 gingerbread affects on vibrant the scrolling animation, the crt animation the camera app, the downloads app where they at holla
I can modify my own 2.2 rom theres so many to take stuff from. stop playing with each others roms work on 2.3 are you guys devs or are you editors cause it looks like besides a few your all editors

Okay, I'm starting to get annoyed at these kind of threads that come from ppl that obviously have no clue in what it takes to build a ROM from the ground on up. Just because android is open source doesn't mean that samsung's kernels are and we pretty much need compatible ones for our ROMs to work. Meanwhile, there are at least 2 teams working on gingerbread ROMs right now. I dunno about you but I'd rather have a fully stable 2.2/2.2.1 ROM out while we have the source than to take my chances and possibly brick my phone on a bug infested build of gingerbread.

I laughed at this.
You sound like a troll
I'm just upset that there is not honeycomb 3.0 rom that transforms your phone into a tablet is not out yet. i heard from the magical elf that sits on my shoulder that it would come out soon. that's why i say screw elves gnomes never lie to you.
Well I heard 2012 is the end of the world. I'm just wishing 2012 rolls around a lot faster then expected....
Aren't they only phones to have official 2.3 the nexus'? Quit yappin and start coding . Lol jk....
These devs work hard to get the new roms out. And to ask 'em to stopp bullcrapping and start on a new one is malarkey. Malarkey, I tells ya!

Repetitively tapping on Android version in Settings->About tablet brings up what I think is an 'updated' version of an easter egg. I think before it said, "BUZZZZZ" - but who knows.. maybe it might be news to someone.
Well, I though I was being trolled, but it actually does something lol. Mine says Rezzzzz. Know of any other easter eggs? I've never been into 'collecting' them, even with all the video games I used to play. I think I remember seeing Koush say something about tapping something in ROM Manager like 100 times and something would happen, but I didn't really pay attention. But yea, if there are any other easter eggs I would love to know about them!
*EDIT* Mine won't do it again, is it just a one time thing? That would seem to follow suit with the whole easter egg motif I do believe, but could be wrong. Also, if there are others and are device specific, I have a DX, D2, D1, and DInc along with my Xoom. Might hafta search around tomorrow morning. Or just go around tapping the sh*t out things....

Not sure if you guys realize this.
When you go setting---->about tablet and then keep tapping on the android version text, you will get a cute android bee buzzing.
Useless but just thought you guys should know.

nice, maybe that's why it takes my xoom so long to bootup
I hate to be the wet blanket here but that's been posted about 3 times already when 3.0 came out and again when 3.1 came out
similar thing happens on GB (Gingerbread http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=gingerbread+easter+egg) with a zombie fest thing... (i have no idea why - at least the bee makes sense)
