when will we get cyanogen for the samsung captivate
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
when the st louis blues win the stanley cup, thats when....
now, on a serious note, nobody knows really, progress has been made in the initial stages of it, but thats about as much as we know
2-3 Weeks...S.p.e.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n....
6.1 is going to have Galaxy S support. Once that happens I'm sure Captivate support won't be too far behind.
Any update on this?
Its being officially developed for the vibrant and not the captivate, but it shouldn't be that difficult for us to port it, worst that could probably happen is us having to remap a few buttons and perhaps flash a new kernel

Does anyone have any news on this? Is or will Cyanogen 6.0 available for the Samsung Captivate?
Any news would be awesome!
Thanks!

The build is close. there was a teewt pic that showed it booting on the vibrant but it got stuck in boot loop. so.....we can expect the vibrant very soon and the captivate wont be far behind thanx to atinm and the cyanogen team.
I submitted the script to extract the proprietary files from the captivate last night to wesgarners github, so they have that now

Thought that was for an Epic?
Anyways - whatever you do. DO NOT ASK THEM. They will push the release date out 24hrs.
I'm pretty sure that they are waiting for the "official" OTA from Samsung before they start really hacking at it.
And yes.. since most of the dev team seems to be on T-Mobile the Vibrant will be first.. shortly followed by other Galaxy S phones that are of similar hardware designs (Captivate, Fascinate). Personally I'm good with that... let the Vibrant folks beta test for me - so when its released for the Captivate most of the quirks should be worked out
I think the one that's going to get screwed is the Epic folks on Sprint. There is ONE person hacking at it so far.
Oh.. and Viralblack has posted a current "State of the Galaxy" post. Nothing for Captivate (yet).

Good idea..but we still need to show our numbers and support for getting it ported over..The stronger the response the sooner it happens as soon as the official 2.2 RC is out.
Mac
Also... hate to say this - but money talks and I hear the Dev's love extra beer money.
The more donations they receive from the Captivate side of things, the more likely they will develop a ROM for it.
Ooo... and antinm's github. You can "see" the magic happen: http://github.com/atinm
I am really starting to feel left out of the cool kids club(GSM Tab Owners). Owning the sprint galaxy tab is like buying a mustang V6. I mean sure you have a mustang, but any ordinary ricer with a decent tune could blow you out of the water. Sure you could strap on a short air ram(rooting), or even sport tune(rooted apps), but your still no V8(Roms). Yeah I like cars a little, but I am really sad about my Galaxy tab from sprint. I had very high hopes, and they were all crushed......So Devs if you find it in your hearts........bring us some Sprint tab LOVE.
Well im running hc alpha 2.5 on my Sprint tab i think thats not to bad ,of course all thanks to spacemoose!

Your problem is that GSM technology is world wide, so you have people from all over the world working on roms.
CDMA is only in the US, so you have a much more limited set of potential developers.
Do you have a link to the rom? and does the market work?

It is in the "Android Development" section of the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums. And yes, the market works. While the GSM crowd is still getting Gingerbread ROMs/ports, we CDMA users have HC now. There are some glitches as the developer is still in the early stages, but overall, it runs, it's a great move in the right direction, and it's on CDMA first. (The dev was working on CDMA and GSM simultaneously, but the development on CDMA for whatever reason wasn't as difficult. I don't know if the GSM HC works as of now, but I know the dev. was close....)
And if you hate it that much, put it on ebay, sell it, and get a GSM.
Thanks for the info,
I don't hate the device as much as sprint.....and the way they locked up all the goodness behind profit grubbing.

You're welcome, although I don't understand the part about all the goodness being locked up. You just have to root your tab, just like all other Android devices. Once rooted, the device, and experience, are what you make it
I have someone that wants to trade me their sprint gtab 3g (I use sprint) for my wifi 16g ipad. I have a nook color rooted running cm7 overclocked at 1300 and an evo 4g running cm7. Do you guys think that's a fair trade? I'm not a big apple fan but my wife gave me the ipad for my birthday and use it for Netflix only. I need to pull the trigger quick before this Guy changes his mind. I just want to make sure I'm not making a dopey trade.... thanks guys!

I have a question. I rooted my tab when I first got it, how did you install alpha 2.5, I have sprint and when I try it with rom mananger ,sprint is not in the recovery just att, verizon and tmobile. I tried to flash the verizon recovery, and it was a no go. It reboots into the samaung recovery. If you have a sprint tab how did you do it?
I have nothing but mad love for my Sprint Tab. Bear in mind I'm not doing nearly as much with it as you're wanting to do though. I don't have it activated with Sprint and I'm not flashing ROMs or anything on it.
If you want to make some changes to your Sprint tab, check out the informational thread I created.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14917609#post14917609
I found a new love for my tab, I flashed it to 2.5 HC and it is neat again. It's buggy, but fun to toy with again........Yay Tab.
I've played with the HC 2.5 port, and it's just too slow for me. Stock, rooted with CWM (converted to ext4) seems to be the best thing out there for my uses thus far. Hoping we'll get a official gingerbread soon, or at least a functional CM7 port.. otherwise i love my tab! Sure there's not tons of roms to play with like the GSM tabs, but I'm happy with what i paid for it and my uses..
I have some questions that are confusing me...
1. What is it that makes ROMs more difficult to develop for the CDMA tab?
2. Exactly what, if any, is the latest update to the Verizon tab?
3. Is the Sprint Gingerbread the only Gingerbread ROM for the Verizon tab (apart from the leaked stock ROM full of bloat?
4. I'm very familiar with rooting and using ROMs on Android phones. Is there a root and ROM combo that is best for the Verizon tab?
5. If adw and launcherpro are for phones, is there some tablet equivalent I've yet to find?
6. The only thing even CLOSE to Honeycomb is the theme I saw someone use on Youtube right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPihz5x4enE&feature=related
Thanks for any guidance. Just wanna update this thing as much as I can.
You need to check threads by oldmacnut
He is going to be your best lead for cdma tabs... look into his "better than life" series roms, or check out his CM7 (still in alpha)
MIUI is on the horizon as well
There is a honeycomb beta by oldmacnut as well.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Cool, thanks. I'll check that out.
So, am I right in what I've been reading?
- The CM7 is the first priority to be made (understandably) but isn't yet
- The honeycomb is way down the line (as one guy can only do so much, obviously)
- The Sprint Gingerbread is just Sprint but still full of bloat
- The Verizon Gingerbread is also full of VZ bloat.
Is that right, Verizon users?
That's pretty much it. OMN's Better than Life roms for sprint and VZW strip most if not all of the bloat out, so can save some time.
Also, there is a more functional version of CM7 available from a different site (check my thread about running CM7 on Sprint tab in General section)

The honeycomb Rom is not beta, its alpha, Alpha 2.5 to be exact, it was not created by oldmacnut but was created by spacemoose, oldmacnut took the cdma alpha 2.5 and "remixed" it and is now calling it 2.5.1 with some minor improvements including sound.
Still too many broken things for everyday use.

Check under galaxy tab dev threads... its still in top ten last I checked... there are a lot of people watching that thread and many of them could possibly answer your questions... you might have to wait a couple days to post if you are new to xda keep posting here til you've racked enough posts to post in dev thread... people in that thread should have better answers for you.

My asking questions is only cause I've never had a cdma device. And it would appear that there arent really any completed roms for the verizon tab 7.

Sorry about that man... once Jim (oldmacnut) runs out of walnut I think he'll be back lol last I talked to him he got some fresh walnut and was working on a kickass blanket chest... check his cm7 thread for a pic of his progress, he's a really good woodworker and if you look under galaxy tab accessories you'll see some beautiful wood docks for your tab (I just bought one for my Droid x and its awesome btw) I believe he still has one of each style left... Jim planes his own wood from logs, he doesn't use store bought wood... look at me rambling... anyway once he's back we'll see some awesome work, as he's a perfectionist when it comes to his roms.
Btw love your username aka roughest place in town lol Stevie was the man

Have to decide by 6:30.
I need it for books and games, browsing internet, YouTube videos.
How well does Honeycomb run on this?
Is gingerbread better for it?
Can I run the Sprint version wifi only?
Honeycomb is in alpha build... yes you can use it wifi only, that's how I use mine... many roms on the way including MIUI, which is in beta, there is a beta CM7 which I am running (awesome btw) its a good tab for reading and using one handed, not too heavy, not to light to feel like you'll break it. It should have an ota GB available if it has froyo when you unwrap it. Very happy with my tab
Sprint SGT + CM7 = AWESOMENESS!!!!
I paid $250 for mine about four months ago, so that's a great deal in my opinion.
Also, hoot, I'm going to PM you some questions.
If you get the Sprint tab, be sure to check out the Sprint Owners Thread for helpful information
Ok no more posting for me after taking nyquil... MIUI is in alpha, and oldmacnut's CM7 is alpha too... there is a beta CM7 on rootzwiki though...

For anyone who wants CM7 on their bionic, I highly recommend going the extra mile to register with the site, if you are not already, because if the CM7 team has the bionic, it can finnaly be developed for

CVPCS already has a bionic, and has been working on it since about launch day. He had it booted in about a day.
This phone will get CM7 no matter who you vote for. If I were you guys, I would vote for a non CM7 person (like Nitro or Liquid) so we can get some variety.
Just my 2 cents...

Those guys are already out of the running. There was a tie between Rev and Framework earlier today and there's now a 1v1 vote up to be the tie breaker.
And then along came Debbie Downer:
r2doesinc said:
Ok, I see lots of "cm7 ftw" type comments. I thought my post in the other thread would be enough, but maybe it should be said again.
AOSP/MIUI will not come to this phone anytime in the foreseeable future. Let me break it down like this.
Remember on the Evo back before shinzul and toast got wimax working? We are kinda in the same position again. Here we are, faced with devices that contain a totally new form of data. One that isn't available in the aosp repos. One that we have no reference code for. One that the code is different for on each lte device.
Your first question is probably, "Well they did it on the Thunderbolt, why not the Bionic?" Fair question, and seeing as we got aosp and lte on that device witgout the help of cm, I think I'm in a position to answer it. The thunderbolt runs a qualcomm chip, unlike the charge and the bionic. Qulacomm has this nifty little site called Code Aurora Forums. CAF is where all the lte code came from. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but neither slayher nor xoomdev wrote 99% of the lte code. The difficult part with the bolt was making it all work with our existing rom code.
This code WILL NOT work on non qualcomm devices, I would hope that goes without saying.
So where's that leave us you ask? SOL. Or **** out of luck for those of you who don't know l33t sp3ak.
Remember my comment about wimax and team w1n? Those guys literally wrote the wimax code FROM SCRATCH. And it took FOREVER. The evo just got wimax on aosp months ago, and how long was the device out for?
What's this all actually mean you ask? It means don't expect with one of these guys to bring miui or cm7 or anything non blur based to this device. Not that I think either of these guys arent amazing devs, they both are. No disrespect to either one, but I think even they would agree that they aren't up to the challange of writing lte literally from nothing.
Also, one more thing on the wimax-evo/lte-bionic comparison. Yea, before the evo got wimax, it still had 3g and was a perfectly functional Rom. In this case its going to be a little different.
DISCLAIMER
The follow statements are the only thing in this post I ccannot 100% back up. I'm 99% of their correctness, but could be wrong.
With my experience with lte, its all or nothing. You don't get working 3g and no 4g. You get it all or you get basically an ipodtouch. Nothing but wifi.
Now, someone did mention that the bionic has seperate radios, unlike the bolt. They used this as an argument that 3g can be fixed before 4g is made to work. My argument against that is to look at the current cm7 build for the bionic. No data. No 3g. Data is RARELY an obstacle for aosp on devices. Usually only when something weird is going on, like what Samsung does, or where lte is involved.
Again, I could be wrong. But I doubt it.
Tldr : Quit expecting aosp on this device. And if you ***** out whoever wins for not getting aosp booted, I will personally print out this post, find you and shove it down your throat.

The only reason it hurts so much is because it's likely 100% true :'(
Why would I want anyone wasting their time on CM7 for Bionic? I know that it's fun to get hold of lots of new ROMs and spend all your free time every evening trying new ones, but it's going to take a while and in the meantime, there's this Ice Cream Sandwich thing (anybody else heard of it) that's coming out.
Love the CM offerings; CM7 was fun on my Eris... but would be as enticing as Eclair with modded Sense on my Bionic! Anybody have a good reason to pursue this further aside from new toys???
The more the merrier?
