Having a vision of the future... - Samsung Galaxy Mini

I am very happy with my SGM and with all the options available here and the great community around this device.
But as always, I'm looking ahead to the next Galaxy phone I will buy in a near future. Galaxy W caught my attention: is a very good device, 1,4 GHz, 512 MB, excellent display...!
But I got worried when I looked at that phone's topic here on XDA... They have nothing!!!!
They don't even have a CM7 port....
So I started to wonder: where squadzone, mebitek, parasmi, maclaw, and others great developers we have here will go from here?!?! We have golden devs here, guys! And I'm very worried about my future with custom ROMs on future devices....

That will depend on what device they will buy in the near future.. since they are still enjoying developing roms for our device, just enjoy every tiny bit of it..

just ensure that the device you will buy in future must be international version then there will be no shortage of devs

As far as I know, Galaxy W is a global version. I understand that it is a very "young" phone and I hope, at the time I bought one, it is more mature

Anyone knows where tj_style is developing?? For which device (if he is still developing)??

just pm him and ask

try his ROM at time of this post go for v8.0 and upgrade to v8.1 no-wipe from there. Its more speedy than the stock samsung rom without any lag fixes.
Ofcourse there's no best rom, just find one that fits your needs
I'm thinking the bathroom.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hard to say which is the best. all roms are great.
if you are asking which are popular, i vote to doc's rom and darky's rom
bedroom and xxjpy stock with voodoo

To be honest, you shouldn't have ditched the evo 4G in favor of this, my friend. Because such crappy software and no CM or AOSP experience make us frustrated.

I dont agree with u m8
this phone that u have is one of the finest in the world,,,, by buying it u joined a 10 million other people
there is nothing in ur previous phone exceeds this one. having said that, the gps sensor in this device is crap comparing with others. many intellectual devs tried to solve its issues,with no complete success (hardware issues),,,,other than this u can enjoy customising it completely
have a look on the devs section and c how many roms and devs has been developing are working on it.
I agree that the default os is laggy,,,, but this phone is blessed with plenty of devs.
if and only if the gps is better it could outsell the Ithing
with time, ull c that u made a nice choice

Yeah I know how many devs are working with it and I didn't mean "default" OS in any way. Seriously, popular roms these day (Doc's and Darky's) can't even beat CM-enabled phone like N1 or Desire in term of performance/smoothness.
But you're right, only time will tell.

Good News!

We have developer lift off!! ROFL
Paul @ Modaco has pretty much confirmed that he will get one.... hit up this link, http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/ .

Never heard of modaco before. Are his ROMs good?
I was initially wondering if I should get this device as it seems like there is lack of developers' support.
With support from paul, I am sure we can get a satisfactory custom rom.
Looks like I can order mine now.

Yeah Paul at Modaco is talented.... I have used his custom ROMs before on my Hero, must say i was very impressed! Hope the VillainROM team also get involved with this phone!
He has also done some excellent work on the Nexus 1. He was the first to bring out a Sense Rom for it.

Yeah ive been using VillainRom for my Hero for over a year now still keeps up with my girlfriends "stock" SGS! Pulser is the man, hes been saying how he doesnt like LG based on previous phones etc.... but i just hope he see's sense and starts developing for this monstor!
Yes!
Personally the LG 2X is the only interesting phone which is coming out now.
Galaxy S II -- too big
Desire S -- lol
Only the Motorola Atrix might be interesting as well, but the 2X seems to have better materials used.
With Paul on the phone, i'm sure the phone will get a great dev phone and a lot of custom roms.. (ok, i only hope..)
Just waiting for the first Gingerbread 2.3 ROM running on the 2X and i'll get one.
Good bye Desire (even it is one of the best phones i've ever had)
@Atomicman
i tested the sgs2 at the cebit few days ago and i was shocked how laggy this thing was.
maybe samsung will fix it until the official release but after that experience i'm 100% going with the optimus2x

Also thought long about that, and chose the O2X.
As you say:
SGS2 - too big
Desire S - with dual-core would be cool, but isn't
Atrix - locked bootloader is a shame
Just hope that community support will bring O2X long life!
i just got mine LG Optimus 2x and WAUW!!!
LG has done a really good job, I'm so impressed with the speed of this device - no buggyness and no laggyness
The stock is very nice although it's 2.2.1..
But I want custom ROMs NOW!!!

Paul, with the Acer Liquid, buyed it and selled it like a month later for a nexus one (if I remember well). So we must "pray" that he will not buy a Galaxy S2 or something as soon as it comes available

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.

This is awesome news, Knzo thanks for getting development started on this phone, will you work with the caynogen team to get some of your tweaks included?
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
Yeeeeeeees. I'm looking forward to this

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.
wowwwwwwww

Icecream Sandwich

Anyone else looking forward to it?
Is it going to be released on the SGS 1? I get the feeling there won't be an official release of it for it but will anyone be making a custom rom?

i have no doubt that the galaxy s devs will make a port for our i9000's, i mean if theres a friggin honeycomb port, it just makes sense that they would bring us some delicious ice cream sandwich.

I read somewhere ICS will be available to any gingerbread running device!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXihfs7DKPE
Watch this video. The presenter is saying clearly that this next version will be made available for every phone from new to old. So, expect it on SGS. However, the question is that whether it will run smoothly or not ?
Here are some demo features that will come out in ICS.

this sdk dump is here
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-sdk-system-dump-available-devs-and-themers-get-it
all the devices that had a gingerbread update would receive the update for 4.0 as well .. don't panic and let's just hope for the best!
I belive there isn't much ram on sgs to run ICS
And anyway, we have CyanogenMod. It will surely be updated to ICS.
One way or another we will get it.
How relatively well it will run on our device is another matter.
Hmm, can't wait for the Icecream Sandwich.

Totally agreed. There is hardly even enough ram for gingerbread to run as smoothly as froyo.
Android developers claimed today that ics is lighter and snappier. So i guess that means it will require less ram then gb. Its newer version so it is obvious they tried to make it lighter.

@OP how is the galaxy S3? And what happened to your Incredible S?
The s3 is amazing! I love the battery life over the inc s and somehow touchwiz feels alot lighter then even sense 4.
The usb port in my inc s died, as well as the sd card slot so there was not much i could do with it anymore:/ if i could id still be flashing roms onto it just for fun!
I've gotta say though even though there are less devs in this section, the sense of community and teamwork here is far better then in the samsung forums
Nice to hear that, but it is probably due to a fact that youre still new on the Samsung section... Enjoy your new beast, I've tried it few days ago and I was delighted!

What are your reasons for the change? Until now I didn't find anything what I needed and my Inc S it couldn't. Repair would be too expensive?
yeah it wouldn't have been worth it to repair, if it still worked my plan was to keep it for another year.
The s3 is very noticeably faster though and the screen size is really nice, overall everything just feels alot better thought out on the s3 then the incs
I'm still in love with my IncS
An upgrade should be nice...
I will of course upgrade even though IncS is such a wonderful phone.
great choice with S3!!
S3 sounds good enjoy it
