Whats the chance of getting CM7 on the SGS2?
Is the SGS a fully supported CM7 phone?
I'm a HTC man myself (DHD atm), but the SGS2 is looking mildly tempting due to the AMOLED screen, loud speaker and great .mkv playback capabilities as I watch quite a bit of video.
I am leaning more towards the Sensation due to the 16:9 qHD screen and the fact I've never been let down by a HTC device yet.
But I've really got used to CM7. Whilst I'm sure the Sensation will get CM7 on it... at some point, I reckon the SGS2 will get it first.
It's a big hmmmmmmmm from me atm
Very doubtfull you will see any custom roms on HTC now mate because there locking bootloaders
The device hasn't even been rooted yet but I'd say it's only a matter of time. If it's a deciding factor for you then hang fire but I'm actually quite liking touchwiz 4 and that's something I never thought I'd say.

Samsung is very good about releasing source, just check http://opensource.samsung.com they will post the source within a few weeks I'm sure.
sorry to ask this noob question, but why do you need cm7 on this phone? is it laggy? lacking features ?

Because this forum is for developers and development of ROMs, otherwise why would you be on this forum
some people want root regardless as they like to tinker.
also enables useful features like
titanium backup / Clock recovery so you can easily backup/clone your phone state
overclock (speed) / undervolt (battery)
CIFs for mounting windows shares or presenting itself as a windows share (very useful esp over wifi, look ma no cables)
get rid of touchwiz and other preinstalled stuff (I haven't used touchwiz 4 but I like stock android and I'm a speed freak)
I never rooted/custom ROMed my nexus one (as I love stock android) but it was the first thing I did to my galaxy tab and will be the first on my list with any non stock android phone

There's a chance it might get cm7 but it'll require a lot of work, the current sgs has cm7 but its still in alpha stage since samsung doesn't release the source for its proprietary drivers, everything has to be made from scratch(ie. time consuming). I don't think anyone whose working on cm7 for the sgs wants to do this again.

all upcoming HTC devices will have locked bootloader, plus i strongly doubt we're going to see CM7 on SGS2 since Samsung doesnt release (or at least not so far) the source code of the drivers.
wait, does this mean no custom ROMs for SGS2 or rather they will just be less drastic modifications?
for example I don't think the galaxy tab custom ROMs use written from scratch drivers.
sorry new to custom roms.
There will be plenty of custom ROMS. Just not AOSP rom anytime soon.
Basically with AOSP you will loose a lot which includes all the multimedia capabilities ( ability to play many containers and codecs natively with hardware acceleration ), hardware GPU acceleration in browser, probably MHL link and HD recording.
There are very few people who will be ready to give up all this to get AOSP rom for this phone.
well it's rooted already isn't it?

Man,never been a big fan of CM Roms,have moved to MIUI Froyo Rom{now with Formels MIUI Android 2.3 Rom},,tried CM many times but battery drain & other force close issues were in plenty.MIUI works best with my Nexus 1,,extremely fast,smooth,less battery drain ROM.
As far as Sensation goes,i hope it will be rooted,also it will be by June end when both SGS 2 & Senation will be launched in my region,so will have clear idea as to which one is getting more devs support{as xda support is what is most important for me rather than the phone itself}.
Have such a great time with N1.

Not only Cyanogen,there are various different devs with their custom roms,but CM is used in most of the droids.
Samsung Galaxy S has a pathetic lag issue/faulty gps issue.
Even after so many lagfixes & workaround{in various roms},it still is very fragile.
Therefore you will definitely see people asking about SGS 2 lag issue or any GPS issue{hopefully GPS is great here in SGS 2 by default compare to quite pathetic in SGS}

I'm not a fan of Sense/TW et al, but I love ADW Ex. I know I can still use ADW Ex on the SGS2 but it would make me feel better inside knowing that I have a totally AOSP ROM ands not ADW running ontop of the TW stuff

As I said, I'm a HTC fan, but one thing I am not is a Sense fan! I can only presume that will extend to TW, although I have never tried it. I also like to run my phone at 190dpi instead of the standard 240dpi that most phones run at. And with Sense at least, when you change to anything other than 240dpi, it does not like it one bit!

It's not rooted... it's bootloader unlocked. Not the same. Bootloader unlocked can lead you to root, root can't lead you to bootloader unlocking.
Question is which Gingerbread based rom do you think is running a smoother UI and offering the most stable user experience given the video driver issues?
CM7 updates much more frequently, so they have shown more progress on hardware video acceleration, but that doesn't mean Gojimi isn't also working on it, it just wasn't part of the RC1 that is out there. With respect to a smoother UI, Gojimi has released VTLauncher separately so I personally am running the latest CM7 with VTLauncher, for the best of both worlds. I really appreciate having the dock on the bottom, not the right, other than that I turn off the sidebars anyway...
With the CM team making so much rapid progress I'm not even really sure what would motivate Gojimi to work on an almost identical ROM, although he does have more GTab specific experience whereas CM is generic, and then Mad-Murdoch drives the tablet specific features. I actually appreciate Gojimi's other projects more.

Excellent Feedback. Agree Gojimi is awesome and VTLauncher is pretty sweet.
I prefer donut myself
This is a toughy. I'm a long time CM fan from way back with my MyTouch. But I've been using Vegan since I got my Gtab. I just switched to CM7 and so far I'm loving it. I appreciate the frequent updates simply because it satisfies my hunger for flashing (that sounds bad). I'm also liking that CM7 has migrated the nightlies to the 2.3.4 strain of Android. Video playback - ech. That topic has been done to death and now all we can do is wait and see. Right now, my money is with CM7 until I see what future Vegan releases bring.
Tablet VS Phone
I prefer VegaN due to its more tablet friendly approach. CM7 felt like a phone, and the even murdoch's tablet tweaks felt like an afterthought. For me not having video hardware acceleration is not a big enough trade off to switch back to CM7 nightlies. VTL in Vegan GE itself is a huge +1.
Didn't vote, but running VeganGinger, and watching CM7
VGinger is based on CM7, so I think of it as a teaser for the next rev of Vegan.
No matter what, VTL Launcher got an instant donation out of me. Awesome.

I think that the tablet tweaks on CM7 look nicer than Vegan, and VTL works nicely too. I'm not sure about your hardware acceleration comment. Neither release has full support yet.
I liked VT Launcher so much I bought it for my droid. Its pimpin
Im also telling Gojimi everyday it's time for an update. He is buried in projects right now.
+1 for the VTLauncher
I started with vegan ROMs and if it wasnt for my other phones running CM and addiction to the nightly build bot I'd still be running vegan ROMs.
I also echo whats been said about VTLauncher. It rocks for tablets. That plus tablet tweaks and the honeybread theme for CM7, Im a happy camper.

Seriously.....Gojimi has not forgotten the community. I chat with him several times a day and he is busy working on his launcher and trying to tweak his next release. I think hes waiting for the hardware accelleration issue to finally be completely fixed and I saw a post earlier that DSP may be fixed. (I think Oozura said it actually ) He has tweaked enough stuff from cm source that he just cant produce as fast as cm can. Lots of changes from source he has to manually fix.
He is also busy working on bugs in his launcher in Honeycomb. Minor but major headaches. He's not a big poster because his head is buried in code all the time.

What are you talking about?
Samsung has released no source code other than I9100 kernel sources, which are basically useless on Hummingbird-based devices.
Nexus S source code is more applicable and has been out for ages - but getting that to support the G70 is a lot of work, more work than it's worth to be honest. I haven't been particularly impressed with ICS so far. It's not awful - but it's not the major improvement over Gingerbread that GB was over Froyo.

Well, technical know-hows aside, I would like to comment on the ICS Vs GB thing. I loved using GB but since moving over to ICS on my Cappy and HP Touchpads, there is no comparison on the polish the ICS brings to these devices. Granted ICS did not bring anything earth shattering to the Android OS game, but the latest Google has to offer seems just right for my devices. GB just felt still being worked on but... ICS has more thoughtful features... simple things as the way gallery presents the photos, just seem right. Of course, some, if not most, would be differences in personal taste, but for me, I am happy with ICS and can't wait for all my devices to be upgraded to them.
Now, having said that... I certainly appreciate all the hard work by all the devs. I have no doubt, for a moment, that it's an aweful amount of work... For that... I Thank you.
@Entropy - That is kind of my gut feeling without having spent much time with ICS.
Is it fair to say the ICS is much more about glitter than new functional features or power?

Yeah I think ICS was meant to be more user friendly. Less technically overbearing to the standard end user.

Hi!
Please all register at forum of www.cyanogenmod.com and ask for development for our Huawei MediPad.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/50187-cm-for-huawei-mediapad/
As long, we make no noise, all developers at cyanogenmod will think, that there is no nedd for such a development.
Kind regards,
Thomas
we dont have kernel source code for ICS, only for HC....do you think that CM9 based on honeycomb will be better than official ICS?

If you've ever used the official HDMI output then you would know the answer to that... Hell yeah.

Do you mean that the HC HDMI output is better than the crappy ICS HDMI output thus better using the HC as the base? If that's true then you should try the OsiMood version (ICS based on the Russian firmware)... the HDMI output is much better... no more dithering and higher res output... and Skype works without problem. I recommend OsiMood because it's already rooted.
As for this whole CM9... I don't think you can make a CM9 (which is basically ICS) with HC kernel as the base.
Yes you can. Check the nook color ics...
They built a ics around a gingerbread kernel... So why shouldn't it work with a honeycomb kernel?
It will require some backports but other than that it should be doable.
I don't want to damp-down you enthusiasm, but seriously, what do you want to achieve with this?
Even if a motivated and skilled dev is found (please note that rac! already seems to work on a port as announced in the dev forum), he still needs the device. Also, the Mediapad community is very small compared to others and there is less fame to be gained with a port.
The only benefit I can get out of this is to bring some more attention to the device. I don't believe that because of the cm-thread a dev will pick up a MP/SB and start dev'ing for it.
Anyway, good luck!
possible MIUI rom ported to MediaPad?
I see MIUI rom on Nexus 7 it's so cool... :crying:
miui nexus 7 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841208
I've never been a fan of miui roms, they look so much like iphone ui, and all those colored icons and layouts make the device look like a tablet for kids.
if it's even possible to port a rom to the mediapad i prefer something from samsung 7" tablets, the look of touchwiz is really special.
I don't think anyone is working on a MIUI rom. I personally wouldn't want to turn my tablet into a giant phone, since to my knowledge they haven't implemented a tablet UI yet. It seems like there aren't many developers working on ROMs for our device as it is, I say let them work on trying to get HDMI on Jelly Bean instead.
HTC sense from flyer would be great if someone port it

There's a very large library of themes to change the colored icons and menus. Even still, I don't think the default looks at all like the iPhone.
I have MIUI on my phone and absolutely love it. Menus, toggles, drop down/pop-ups are so much cleaner. Would be awesome to have on my tablet too.

Remember when cyanogenmod team brought life back to all our old phones? i was one of the lucky ones to get my HTC WILDFIRE supported by CM. at the same time MIUI pulled the middle finger and said F**K YOU!! we only develop for the the powerul devices.
what's the point of an after-market ROM when it dosn't support devices with few features.
after all, we are still stuck with two CM and AOKP ROMs that are not qualified enough to be used daily! how can we now start on MIUI?
it's useless
i'm sorry but that's the truth :crying: and i'm sad as F**K seeing all other devices on xda having tens of working ROMs.
we need more developers. i'm not one, but i help testing and do all my best to get something working.
huawei published all ics sources long time ago. It doesn't seems that's not helping, we already have an unlocked bootloader by default... pointless complaint imho, we only need interested developers

From my understanding, the T-Mo springboard is a redone Huawei Mediapad. The Springboard here has a very very small userbase, however the mediapad in China (from what I understand) has a much larger base. Given that MIUI is developed in China... I would think that the tablet might get some attention.
