I just wanted to be clear on this: is it very likely that darch or others will be able to release a solid aosp froyo build for us non-evo adopters?
I know that theoretically there should be froyo builds released that shouldn't be too tough to port over. This would really inject new life into our heros and appease us until our contracts are up and able to upgrade to the next greatest device.
Kangslayer 2.7 rocks but I would love to have a similar 2.2 aosp rom. I am really crossing my fingers that darch will once again pull through.
cheers,
ryan
As of right now, GPS and Camera are the only two BIG things that aren't working. Also, someone was reporting issues when trying to use the native A2SD.
We should have a Darch rom and a cyanogen kernel soon.... Well, we already have a darch rom. and its wicked.

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on why my JIT my be locking up my phone. Once I enable it, it runs fine but every now and then my phone will freeze and do a reboot cycle. Yes I have HTC lockscreen disabled as well as sense. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

From what I understand JIT is very unstable at this point. Since FroYo has JIT built in hopefully we will be able to cook up a 2.2 rom when it comes out. Regardless I'll be on the Evo by then but I might still try to work up some Hero magic

Oh man, if I could get froyo on the hero that would be great. I'm giving the EVO some cushion time to work out any defects. I love HTC, but manufacturing quality has proven to be a slight issue in the past.
I tried pulling my log to see if I could find where the phones locking up, but no luck I'm thinking I've got something that doesn't want to play with JIT tho, cause I don't remember having these issues when I first flashed, but who knows.

The link you provided is for the SDK. We need the actual source to compile it. I don't think that's going to be released until June.

True but that's my point. Whichever devs decide not to spring for the Evo should definitely be able to get it working. Let's just hope it works with our current .29 kernel. I have a feeling it's going to need something more since the kernel that comes with 2.2 is going to be .32. But you never know. We got 2.1 working with .27 after all.

Google's official FroYo statement they put out today said it was going to use 2.6.32. Hopefully it is possible to use .29 though
With the buildbots not up yet, I've been working on a little project in secret for a while. I call it Cyanobread. My plan here is to make a CM7 that has all of CM 6.1's bells and whistles before the CM7 team does. Some patches I will probably submit, and some will be only for this ROM as they go against the ideas of what Cyanogen wants. I haven't decided yet if I will keep this updated once the buildbots come back. If it divulges from the CM7 project significantly than probably.... otherwise I will just keep this as a mod for a few patches you can add to CM7.
My philosophy behind doing this ROM is the fact that I love CM6 and have used the nightlies as my daily driver and was very dissapointed 7 wasn't up on the buildbots.
Even though this is mostly a CM7Src ROM, please report any bugs here and I will do my best to either report them to the CM Team or fix them myself if I can. Same thing goes for any features you'd like to see added.
My approach to deving is a very collaborative one. Invisiblek, jladronka and DS36 will be helping me with this project. If any other devs would like to help, please shoot me a PM. The more the merrier, I really want to see a nice group project out of this.

Looking forward to it.....I know I should not ask, but.....ETA?
lol I dont go by the No ETA rule so long as you dont mind if you're wrong.
well this has been an in work project for a few weeks... finally had a full compile this morning but was missing some apps.... so i decidedd to make clean and do it again... first time my laptop blue screened, then it hibernated because I forgot to plug it in.... I'm thinking within a few hours.
I'm looking forward to this.
Back in my Blackberry days we used to call these Hybrids. Some of the most functional, stable BB OSs were patched together from different OSs or even bits and pieces from different phones.
Of course, some hybrids were the biggest train wrecks also...
I have high hopes for this. Good luck!
Heh, FrankenROM.
sorry for not getting this out tonight... I had a few minor setbacks. Teaser installer video coming in a few minutes. Right now, it is completely stock CM, and you can think of the teaser as a .5 of sorts. v1 will be out tomorrow I promise. Very minor tweaks that I am going to do to start out with.
Excuse my ignorance, whats the point? Isn't CM7 the best of 6 and 7 all rolled into one sprinkled over some Gingerbread?

This ^^ I'm running gridlock's CM 7 latest build and so far, it's got all the mods that CM6.# has, on GB.
What exactly are you planning on adding that it doesn't already have?

Cause I went from Cm6.1 to to 7 up to the latest 32, and there's nothing at all that has made me say "Oh damn, I miss that from CM6". CM7 has TONS more tweaks, and a pretty bad ass music player.
Glad to see I'm not the only one wondering what the point of this is...
when i started this project that wasn't the case. a lot o the goodies in CM6 were missing... I plan to add my own little touch to it and hopefully diverge from the CM project slightly. Video's not going to happen, having some issue with the touchscreen....will look at it in the morning.
hmmm... no issue with the touch screen... but somehow this compiled lacking a keyboard... blah... i was hopeful... oh well... will deal wiith it in the morning
Who in anyone’s opinion makes the best Honeycomb port for the Nook Color?
I know CM7 is out there and I use it for my phone, I think it’s awesome on my phone and will probably be great on the Nook as well.
Are their any other good ports for 2.3 or especially 3.0?
Right now, we have:
an official CM7 rom.
and HC rom from madcat & deeper blue.
I am endlessly happy that we have such awesome devs working on so few roms. I got sick of the G1 threads blowing up with roms that tended to break more things than they fixed.
Just look for the most recently updated threads in the dev section.
HC is based of sdk, btw.

Do you prefer one to the other? I was looking to install Honeycomb any advice one which one is most preferable?
IMO since BC is not officially released, you will always be dealing with a not fully ready version. The dev's are doing great work with it but it is not a daily driver unlike cm7

Yeah. Seems the more recent nightlies are having trouble with wifi. Should be fixed.
Also, so everyone is on the same page, the bootloader will be flashed as well, so that should help a lot of people out.
Also audio and video hiccups will be fixed.
It's all here. Bookmark and read along!

I liked DB's HC version, and the version before the recent release of madcat's where the SD card stopped working personally, I couldn't get used to the softkeys from the other versions.
I'd like to echo the responses above that suggest sticking with CM7 as a daily driver for now. HC is coming along nicely, and I do install the latest on an SD card every now and then to check out the progress, but it's really not "done" enough to use every day. CM7 is. The occasional nightly hiccup aside, it's definitely feature-complete enough for daily use.

Theoretically, yes......However it is still a "nightly" build and hasn't been labeled as stable....Some things could be fixed and other stuff could have broken in the process (don't know that's the case, just saying it's a possibilty.)

Good news everyone, I was about to get my hands dirty and try to port CM but happens that a fellow portuguese who is in CM team received a Black from LG and is already porting it!
He's very knowledgeable and it should be fast. Hopefully the port can be merged without breaking other devices (if this happens it'll be official and we'll have nightlies). Otherwise, well, I hope he releases it anyway or at least sends me the device folder so I can.
Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGoVy4tQki0
We can also see here that he has a .35 kernel which probably the only way to have gotten it is with gingerbread. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, LG probably also gave him 2.3 sources, so the update should also be near.
Since I prefer AOSP to CM, when it's out I'll also use his device folder and port to a clean AOSP-ish ROM.

About time... glad it's happening. Knzo is ecstatic for sure. Nova 2.3 atlast. haha. Will wait for the nightly builds.
I wonder if LG asked for help regarding Gingerbread. So they could finally have official. LOL

No, this is a one-man-job and he's much more skilled than I am. Remember I'm not even a computer engineer; my field is the brain, not computers, I do this as a hobby.
Probably if CM comes out, Nova will cease to exist. I'll only work on a good kernel and perhaps a clean AOSP-ish ROM based on CM device source and CAF.
I already sent him PM asking if he was kind enough to share it, we'll see what he replies.

Hey guys, noticed no one had posted the latest OFFICIAL stock OTA kernel yet and if they have, sorry I missed it
This is not the leak. This is the OFFICAL, lol
Also this is for Gingerbread Sense Roms. Not AOSP.

It's been like 40 days since it starting rolling out GB and Thunderbolt had the froyo kernel within like 2 weeks of kernel release I think some users were badgering HTC to release it as well. The main release I'm in a hurry is I want to get something out before I upgrade to the Nexus Prime which I will do upon release and won't spend as much time on the Inc.

They still haven't officially rolled out the update. They did a couple of test batches but it has never been released to all Incredibles. My buddy at work is stock and never got the notification. I think their tests always revealed another issue, like we've seen with the stock based roms.

Interesting, I guess they're letting the Inc fade out. Kind of amazing that it's even being considered, given how "old" this phone is.
I wish HTC would release another classic like this instead of turning to gimmicks like 3D and Beats. I mean, the Rezound? Really? Sense is enough of a selling point, IMHO. If they just backed it up with killer specs.
I digress. Thanks for the kernel, Stang. Much appreciated!
Thanks. I was wondering where this was like three weeks ago. Figured I was just blind :O Very useful for trouble shooting.
