Samsung/XDA part2

I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.
Thanks

what's a "TELLY FON"???
hope this is what i think it is. would like to buy a sammy phone again but its gonna take something good at this point

Would rather hear about a froyo source release for our phone than a official froyo release to be honest. Our devs do way better work with source than what samsung would release as official froyo. Look at the amazing work that noobl has done without source for froyo and we have an awesome dev that even has released work of an miui port (which I am most excited for coming from an htc incredible with a fully working port).

lol maybe not greener, but at least slightly more mature
Regardless of the announcement I'm just glad to see there's some communication going on.

I don't even like frozen yogurt

Hopefully it'll have Touchwiz 4.0 like the Galaxy S II. If not, I'll just stick with Launcher Pro .

Thanks for the update!!

Samsung John, thank you so much for making a connection with the people at XDA and being less transparent with the end user. However even if you are coming out with an announcement, could we have at least an eta. After a while of hearing nothing but coming soon, something along the lines of coming in a month, 6 weeks, 2 weeks, whatever would be much appreciated with any announcement. I am not even talking about froyo, I am talking about anything in general. But again thank you for coming and creating this channel with XDA.

WOW

Well samsung has given away an sgII to the cyanogen team with the purpose of them getting cm7 to the sgII read the article here http://phandroid.com/2011/06/06/samsung-delivers-galaxy-s-ii-to-cyanogenmod-dev-says-get-to-work/ All device manufacturers should begin this trend

i want a free sensation from htc! xD

That's pretty neat! Gets the CM Team that much closer to their dream of having CM shipped on a phone. I mean opening up a brand new phone in the box, running CM, how cool would this be?

Must be nice lol

I agree..that's huge
Sent from my Synergy Rom using XDA Premium App

I like what Samsung is doing. Hopefully they'll do it with SG3s next summer or whenever they come out. That's when I'll be able to upgrade.

If they start to have CM come stock on their phones, itll be pretty beast and fast. Cm is far better then any bloated stock rom on a phone. Them lucky devs!

Wow, amazing. Congratulations cyanogenmod team !

Agreed that more companies should do this.
I was looking at upgrading to the Samsung Charge before unlimited plans go away but I like CM7 too much.

My hopes for this is that HTC will do the same thing so that the CyanogenMod team can hopefully get TV Out to work on AOSP Roms.

Peter Alfonso will officially support the NS4G!

What is it that makes him so special? What did he do to the Droid?

I heard that he makes good roms for droid users and a great dev as well. Pete makes roms for our devices and its outstanding!

His Bugless Beast rom for the OG Droid is legendary in the Android community..he's almost like another Cyanogen apparently.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

What makes his involvement so great is that he makes really good roms, put it this way. The Droid 3 is out and people are still rocking the OG Droid with Bugless beast. Yeah he's been here since the beginning but this means he'll be making roms for our NS4Gs

Dude you gotta try his Rom its freaking awesome. It's super fast and has the best battery life. Can't wait to see what additions he has in store in the future

you're already running it ? oh it must be the nightly build

Thanks Devs

I would like to thank all of you that help keep my Vibrant new and awesome. I'm glad there are people like you who enjoy this and share your work with us. Since joining here I have become a flashoholic on my and my wife's phones. Keep up the good work!

+1 this phone would be no where without the devs, no ics, no GB which means we would all be stuck in froyo right now haha. Thanks devs

This phone would have died, the devs were even responsible for an increase in sells

Very true statement iwillkillyou, instead of becoming a dead device people are now willing to spend double the amount that was originally spent on it! All thanks to our amazing devs!

+1
My G1, Vibrant, and Nook all have custom roms. Thanks Devs.

[ICS] should they stop working on it

I've been following the ics project since after my birthday (11/27/11) and a lot has changed but when it comes to (FFC) it came to me that its not gonna work till maybe after the summer or never, whenever HTC gives out the code bit what's your opinion about the ics for the EVO 4G?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

This doesnt belong in the Android Development section, belongs in GENERAL.

My bad I thought it was general at first. The system will automaticly do it for me as usual.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

ummm my opinion on it is that if they dont want to they shouldnt. It will give us an awesome rom but more importantly that means our wonderful devs are learning stuff. this means that in the future they can use these experiences to help them in work or in other aspects of there personal lifes. so dev on guys you are doing great

Why in the world should they stop working on ICS? It makes little sense.
Deck and Kang and others are making great ICS ROMs for lots of phones, not just the EVO4G.

htc will release the code.. because it is an open source project. when is the question, not if.
ics will come..

The OS code is open source. The device drivers are not last I knew. So no, HTC does not have to release driver code.

HTC may release the FFC code for our OG's as soon as they sell enough of their newer devices.
They seem to be dragging their feet in releasing the official ICS updates for the Evo 3D and the Evo Design when they said they would, but they're holding it back, why? Cuz they want to sell enough of the One series models before they officially update the older HTC models that are scheduled to be updated with ICS.
Its kinda crappy of HTC to do that, but hey, they're a "for-profit" business.
But in answer to your question, heck no they shouldn't stop developing ICS for our OG Evo's! This sh*t is fun as hell.

what is the point of this thread? why is that a question? sorry no disrespect.

Yeah, I don't get why a thread was started for this. But why should devs abandon ICS on Evo? Because they can't get FFC to work!? I've been on ICS since the minute they got camera working (around Xmas), and could NEVER imagine going back to GB or Froyo (well, ...maybe froyo).
Keep up the awesome work, all who are working on ICS for Evo.

That's my point. This thread makes no sense. Ics development for evo is extremely active. Don't understand the creation of this thread.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using xda premium

Hahaha. Let's see... These devs have given us some of the smoothest ROMs our phones have ever seen, with incredible battery life and cutting edge features...
But if I can't look at myself in my phone with a FFC, what's the point??

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using xda premium

The evo is EOL(end of life) HTC doesn't have to support it any longer meaning they won't release any source for it as they are not working on ICS for the device. Hardware mfgs may release source for the same hardware in other devices, like they did with the adreno or the devs may code their own drivers. But don't expect HTC to do a damn thing for the evo, period.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

All I'm saying we have a lot of people love the ics Rom but some people hate it cause no 4G. But let me tell one thing about the ics it came a lot since then and like some people who are poor or they don't make a lot of money, its hard to keep up with ics roms when the last two months the biggest change was 4.0.4 which is like starting all over again. Don't get me wrong with the debate about their work, its freaking amazing, but the biggest break through will be the ffc. Closest to that is from a horse ride to a plane ride experience
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I don't think that they should stop working on the ICS ROM's. I went from Sense to Ice Cream Sense to ICS and having ICS on my phone is like having a brand new phone. We don't have 4G in our area, and the front facing camera I hardly used. I am using gummyWorms ICS right now and so far had no major problems with it. There are minor glitches sometimes but, that is no big deal. I hope that the ICS developers can get everything working and I know that it will take time to do so. I appreciate all of their hard work in bringing us some ICS goodness to our phones.
