Do we have to wait for samsung to actually release the froyo update for this device, or can it be attained earlier?
Someone might be able to port over froyo but you won't get a good Rom until froyo officially comes

I wouldn't count on that. We had completely stable Froyo roms for the Incredible a good 2 months before the official update came out.
I have high hopes that Cyanogen will get CM6 running on the Fascinate. I'm hoping that development won't be too different from the other Galaxy S variants. Time will tell.

Why would you say that? Once the devs have the source code, they should be able to cook up some ROMs that are just as good, or better, then what Samsung releases.

Especially considering that Samsung has made all the goodies open-source. I would suspect it will be a lot easier for someone to cook up a good ROM for this phone than it was for the original Droid.
Verizon made a statement that we would get the Google search widget back with froyo. I guess its the froyo widget obviously. But at least that's a good sign that vzw acknowledges that we will get froyo

But when we get Froyo, will we also get the option to use Google as the default? It's killing me to hit the search button and get binged.

There are debinged browsers you can flash or set Google as your home page. There's some Roms that are bingless also.

I was wondering if there are any developers who are willing to try to get the miui ROM on the N1 and Evo over onto the vibrant. I would love to have this on my phone, and I'm sure there are other people who would like this to be possible too.
First, wrong section, second this would be nice....

Yes, I have seen your theme and I have to say. Good work, however like you said it is a theme but having the entire ROM would be even better but I'm not trying to smash your work or anything just some insightful thinking that's all
Heck yeah man! i would love a MIUI rom for the vibrant!! i wish one is ported to it soon =/
Only problem is that MIUI is a froyo based ROM, and froyo isn't fully functioning on the vibrant yet. It will be much easier to port it over once Samsung releases the official froyo update and we can grab the drivers. Once that happens, though, I would LOVE to see MIUI on the vibrant! I got a chance to play with it on my buddy's droid and it's awesome
What about htc sense?i know ya miss it sometimes lol I had a g1 I miss all the different roms it had smh

yes but correct me if i am wrong eugenes froyo rom through odin is working the only thing that is still wrong with it is that the home and back buttons are switched but like i said i think i am wrong but even if i am wrong cant a dev re-map the buttons when creating/ building MIUI? also was the EVO on 2.2 when they were able to get MIUI? i just havent had time to go check all of the threads.

Yes, anything that had a port of miui has froyo.. The galaxy s line of phones can't get anything but the stock roms to work.. eugene has just removed most of the touchwiz.. After we get a full built from source aosp rom running you can expect some custom ui ports but for the moment all we have is touchwiz or most touchwiz removed..

oh ok then. now if only tmobile would release Froyo. curses.
Now just because we get froyo and the source code doesn't mean it will happen.. The only real rom developer we have is eugene.. so if he doesn't like miui then its probably not going to happen...

Im going to try to build from aosp,but this thing seems really tempermental,i thought i bricked it a few times just trying to flash bionix fusion. I was stuck at just a black screen,nothing worked,and my laptop kept saying the usv device has malfunctioned. I ended up plugging it intoace my desktop and booted into download mode blind,after 4 tries it went to download mode,and it flashed back to stock successfully with odin,then i flashed the rom the right way.
basically,if you have a dell d600 laptop,save yourself the frustration of getting Odin to work and use a different computer. I tried on mine and my brother's,both did the same thing.

Strange, I have soft bricked only two times and both times odin worked for me but I have been using bionix since it came out and after trying multiple ROMs I stick with bionix but I just want to play around with miui
Well froyo is supposed to come in November.
So I'm hoping that sometime in December we will get froyo ROMs emerging (CM6 will probably be one of the first).
I just hope some dedicated people at least try to get MIUI on the Vibrant/Galaxy S/EPIC/Captivate/Fascinate. Because if they get one of the Galaxy S phones running, then it will greatly help, the rest of the series.
Just a quick question. Will we have to wait for samsung to release the kernal source for gingerbread before we can get some ROMs off of gingerbread? If samsung doesn't upgrade the fascinate to gingerbread will we be out of luck? Reason im askin is because we dont have any 2.2 roms until samsung releases the source so im assuming the same is for Gingerbread. I love my fascinate but if i cant get gingerbread i gonna have to return which sucks!
thanks!

I know they keep talking about that Gingerbread love from TW. Cant wait till it drops..
Gb will drop when you least expect it to drop. maybe when the official drop or maybe not only time and lots of patience with tw roms cause they are next to perfect. so if you dont have patience then you are screwed for being a tw follower.

Quoted from Sombionix himself:
(speaking about bionix 1.3.1)
"This will probably be the last major update to this build as we are moving on to other builds. However, we will still provide support and necessary updates if there are bugs reported. Cheers!
Coming Soon:
We're in the process of making a lot of themes for Bionix-v and Frost. Coming soon! Annnndddd.....android 2.3 in the works."
hope that helps

Even if TW had left the Vibrant we still have lots of other developers. EDT continuously puts out solid work and CM7 is making slow and steady progress. We have alot.of development going on, always something new.
Here's my thoughts. I think 2.2 ROMS are nearing as good as we will see them perform. Check out the change logs for the latest releases. Theme changes, minor changes, etc. I'm not seeing huge leaps and bounds with Kernals. The improvements are still coming, but not nearly at the frequency they have before.
I'm not a developer, so I don't know if this is due to technical limitations or due to the fact that many of the groups are now focusing heavier on Gingerbread.
Team Whiskey is in my opinion the most legit development team for Vibrant. They've said repeatedly they will not release half-assed ROMS. I think they're focusing their work on Gingerbread now. When they come, they will change the game of Vibrant Gingerbread ROMs.

Really, the dev's all work their asses off. Before EDT was here we had just a few dedicated dev's They all did great work. Most people don't keep the same phone very long anymore (even the dev's) so it would be no suprise that when they get a new device they start focusing more of their attention tward that device (**** I know I would)
Thankfully we have a strong team of dev's still working on this and cranking out new stuff all the time (EDT) And we will still be seeing great things from TW. Not to mention all the new up and comers.
If you really want a straight answer about whats going on with TW go to their forum and ask them, that will get you the best response.
Any developers please PM me if you would like a copy...It's EE23 for I500. Said it was a MR release, anyone know what that is?
Its a froyo update for the mesmerize. Its been floating around some in irc but i dont think anything has been done with it.
Ya EE23 is either for the mesmerize or showcase, and afaik the showcase hasn't seen an OTA froyo yet...so this could have something to do with them.
Check the build.prop for what version of android it is

Dorian is working on 2.3.5 rom noticed he commented on that in his rom thread
I also noticed the source code was released so hopefully the devs can get it "De-Blured". I would love to run Stock GB. I almost traded my Atrix for a Nexus S until I saw that, now I'm waiting (im)patiently.
