I see posts about cyanogen no longer officially supporting the vibrant, and although I DO like CM, I don't support the concept that it should be the end all be all of rom designs. Many of the custom roms I've seen on XDA offer specialized mods that may never make it to the CM roms..
That said, I haven't developed any roms, but I have seen plenty of people claim they are willing to help and have varying levels of experience. I've downloaded the source code for ICS and am wanting to find any devs or people willing to go through the learning process to try to make ICS work for vibrants.
I saw this thread [DEV] ICS port for I9000/I9000B - ALPHA (ICS sources) - work in progress and realize perhaps we can port that over if they get it working, but we would still need to organize people who are willing to work on some sort of project.
Our device is far from defunct, there are still people modding the OG droid that has far inferior specs, so all we need are people who are willing to keep the vibrant alive. It is a good phone, and should have community support until it truly IS defunct.
Thoughts, volunteers, devs have any input? Please no flaming, just because some may not think this is worthwhile or even possible, I know there are many that would appreciate the possibilites that exist.
We have a good port now....Check in the devolvement forums.

This is the one im using now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961 it has a few bugs but all in all its pretty stable.
its amazing
Now recruiting everyone, and i mean everyone from devs, themers, rom porters, testers, everyday users, everyone that loves their old phone and wants to see the development live on.
The only requirement is to work toward the common goal of seeing our old HTC devices live on.
Team Legacy: Greasing the Wheels for HTC Android Legacy Devices.
We may not have the newest, spankiest devices, but by god we just wont quit.
If anyone can think up a logo or a new motto, please do.
Between the eris, the hero, and the heroc, we are all in this together.
Great idea. At this stage there are so few developers working on legacy devices, with some devices having no active development at all.
It makes sense to have a 'pool' of Developers brought together; able to work on multiple devices.
Give people the option to donate a second-hand device to 'Team Legacy.' This could be done by either someone sending a device they no longer want, or starting a fund and having people donate what they can to buy a specific device for the team. That device could even be circulated among them by post if necessary.
Progress might take months instead of weeks, but at least we would have progress!
Motto idea: Development requires skill; not new hardware.
I'm in this! We should keep the old devices pumping!
Reviving old good roms, building on stock, sense, froyo, gb, ics, it doesn't matter, as long as we have something to flash - everyone is happy!
I will soon make a sense 2.0 rom (stock one, with lots of customizations and tweaks that hopefully will make the greatest sense rom stock ever) and I will need testers and/or developers/modders that want to give an idea or a mod to this project!
I'd love to be a part of this, and with my new CM9 rom, i think we have a stable and fast ICS rom for all legacy devices
And ill be sure to port over your paranoid android rom and add the tweaks from my CM9 rom to boost speed significantly!
So who's in team legacy so far?
Also i have an extra htc hero gsm if anyone would be willing to trade for a hero cdma or Eris?

Will do
In my opinion this idea needs to be cross-posted for all HTC Android Legacy Devices to get maximum attention and to attract contributors to the project.
It would be also great to see this stickied in the Development section for all those devices.

This would be great for all armv6 devices
We could use aroma installer in order to get one rom booting on several devices, this would mean we have more devs working on the same rom
I could create the aroma scripts with help from whoshotjr2006 regarding porting help.
jordfaz,
that was exactly what i was thinking of when i posted this lol. aroma is one hell of a tool, and if we could create 1 rom instead of 3, and just use aroma in order to make it work on all 3 devices, then that would be one heck of an ideal situation.
1ceb0x, jordfaz and lost101, welcome to Team Legacy!
benjamingwynn had posted .sense a while back, and while it didnt work on heroc, (not sure about hero) he had a great idea. one grand unifying rom that encompasses many devices, instead of 10 different roms for 10 different devices.
some early possible candidates for inclusion into Team Legacy are the G1, and the wildfire(buzz), and we already have eris, hero and heroc.
Also the way i see it is we already have many honorary members, such as the guys we ported from. Membership is just a matter of being a team player. Everyone that uses our devices in any way is a member already, we all just didnt know it until now lol.
As a policy, i would like to have open arms for any old devices, just so long as they have at least one guy to port/dev roms. that way since its hard for us to get other devices, everyone is represented in the process. Samsung, LG, Moto, they are all welcome.
It should work alright. We need a place to talk. Gtalk?

And has anyone created a logo for team legacy yet? I tried and failed :silly:
Im interested in joining Team Legacy. I have an HTC Hero GSM, im trying to port MIUI v4 on it, and later probably MIUI v3
welcome to team legacy! we are glad to have you. im cooking up something in the works that will hopefully help out the way roms are installed right now, and more details will come hopefully very soon.
any way you can contribute, we are glad to have you!
It would be cool to make a team legacy social group here on XDA, we had one on HTC Tattoo. So all devs can make a thread there on their alpha builds to be tested or ask for help off forums.

Dear all,
As you may know, there is no section in the XDA community board dedicated to the SGH-I757M model. This phone is NOT the same as the Galaxy S2 I19100, and newbies may damage their phone by installing a ROM, kernel..etc that was not designed to run for their phone. Other Galaxy S2 users may also harm their phone by thinking because the SGH-I757M stuff is posted in their forum, they have the green light to proceed.
Another version of the galaxy s2, the AT & T skyrocket have been able to have their own forum.
I understand that the SGH-I757M fanbase isn't as large as many other phone models, but we have active dev and testers willing to give their support. Bell has sold thousands of these models, and it is continuously being featured in their website. I believe we would have even more supporters if people knew where to locate us. As of now, the only way to view things for the SGH-I757M model is using the search function.
I think the moderator wants to know if its worth opening a forum for a phone that is not widely use.
Tell them what you think, show you support by signing the petition (you may also add other reason(s) for support in the comment)
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/i757m-/
Note: I chose not to include a poll because it can be vague, whereas a petition is more explicit and accurate.
I signed it! need more supporters for this phone.

You should start by telling what kind of device you have...
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using xda app-developers app
what kind of devices? i'm working with a couple motorolas and htc's but i'm sure plenty of testers can be found and can expand to many other devices. i'll be honest. I have built several ROMs from source and have TONS of saved mods and tweaks which i can refer to but I'm not good at working with interface. btw I am on the official team for SwiftLinux, so I have plenty of Linux experience, but tbh one again I won't be the BEST asset to the team but with guidance I have been looking for this for a long time and I am willing to do anything to get on a with some expereinced ROM builders to show me what I don't know, and to add my time (which is about 18 hrs a day) to helping put out great ROMs. I know how to build from source, I know how to port, I can use kitchen, I have experience pretty much everywhere, the only place I've really failed is UI mods.

Hi lemonoid
if you wanted to help us impoverished guys over on Tablet Republic with ROM development for the i.MX6 quad core Sanei N10 tablet it would be fantastic.
It's still only ICS but we were hoping for JB and a dual boot version with Ubuntu like the upcoming DaVinci Nibbio which is being released mid March.
Sorry if this is out of line but we need all the experienced help we can get as far as ROM development is concerned.
Thanks
Not out of line at all. I think all ROM development is great!

We could use new devs for the HTC desire, we don't have good working camera in android 4.x or kernel 3.. If you are interested, the desire community will be thankful..

The epic 4g touch section has a bunch of great devs. But we have lost a few. Im sure they wouldnt mind more help.
Since the losses, i think they've been having trouble with a few different things. We have great 4.2.2 roms, but no official samsung releases. For some reason, they cannot get JB modems to work. No CWM touch recoveries, and a few bugs that havent been solved for a while.
Just giving you options.

Dev for the Oppo Find 5
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 2
This thread is set to discuss developers on xda that plan to buy and/or develop for the HTC One. Does any developer plan on kernel, ROM, AOSP, CM10.1, etc... and so on plan on developing for this device? Please comment below!
The goal of this thread is to try and understand which developers will develop for which model of the HTC One (if the MID difference is big enough to split development communities). Believe it or not, a lot of people on XDA heavily consider how well a device's development community will be before purchasing. After all, we are all here to mod our phones. We can hopefully expect great developers to come to this device once it is released in the US in the next weeks. Hopefully we can get a handle on what development will look like!
This OP will be updated, if this thread takes off, showing a list of confirmed developers and what model they plan on getting.
Current confirmed
Torxx - Sense
Mike1986 - Sense
Need AOSP
