I'm looking for 3 beta testers. The job doesn't pay, it has crappy hours and you'll have to flash quite a few fixes and deal with many bugs in between final releases... but you get to test the newest stuff before anyone else
I've created a special group on xda-developers for Beta testers. If you're successful, you'll be kept on indefinitely - unless things change - for future builds/updates.
Please PM me your experience for a request to join the group. It's invite-only, or I'd link it here.
For the sake of being fair, I'd prefer it if you aren't currently working on another Eris android project. You'll need to devote some time to testing all functions of the build.

I would apply for beta testing.........problem is that i have the 2.1 leak.
I'll test. I like ZenEXP7, it was just too laggy on my phone for some reason. I'd love to help out with an update.

If they change the architectural software structure of Ice-cream(2.4 or 3.1?) then no it would not upgrade, But I would bet a dollar the phone will be able to handle at least 2 or 3 more upgrades before software and apps will require a larger ram and duo core cpu
BTW way to the other posting....... froyo, gingerbread etc are the code names they gave each version of android....... 2.2, 2.3 etc

Well either you or he was confused. There's more than a couple Gingerbread themes out there, but thats all they are is themes. There is one EXPERIMENTAL Gingerbread build out, but as such, its not stable and could not be used daily.
Its being worked on, but Samsung has not even released the 2.2 source yet. When that happens, maybe some doors will be opened in that direction.
But as of right now there is NO stable Gingerbread rom, no matter what your friend told you. If there was you would have gotten actual help, instead of some of the less serious responses.

So, once I get to the development forum how do I get it and install it on my phone ? Thanks for the information and help. Appreciate it.
Since nobody has said anything about this milestone yet, dragonzkiller has announced on twitter about 6 hours ago that CM9DX2 alpha might be released either tonight or tomorrow! Big props to him for working so hard on getting ICS onto our phones.
Yeah I'm stoked, thanks @dragonzkiller for all your hard work!

So, I'm curious, what benefits do we get from cm9 as opposed to cm7? Ics is nice, but will there be new features? Or is it just a cleaned up GUI. I know that ics should be able to multi-thread when gingerbread can't, so is that going to happen with our phones? (my guess is not until kexec starts working)

Well as of right now, only dragonzkiller knows how much ICS it will bring us. If its a full CM9 port, Im sure we will have all of the ICS features unless some things dont work. But this is a first Alpha so I'm sure not everything will work. It's just a wait and see right now.

Im sure there will be quite a few things not working at first. He's probably only releasing it because he has the main stuff working like data, wifi, cellular network, hopefully sms. I've been watching some videos on cm9 and saw that some other ports didnt have the camera working.
So when exactly will we be receiving CM9 for our devices? Has Dragonzkiller set a release date?

Fixed.
Anyone can ask around if they're new to the forum and if Dragon's CM9 work is news to them. Just do not bug the developer.
Jay, long story short, Dragon is incredibly busy with his life. He's currently in some kind of Aerospace Engineering program at a university. That translated to little free time. Therefore, we really have no clue when its coming.
Take comfort in the fact it is being worked on and you will get it one day.
Rule #1 from Cm is to never ask for a eta!
I wasn't asking for a beta, I was just curious of when it would be released. But thanks for the replies.

They were answering your question. ETA as in Estimated Time of Arrival. So, when it would be released.
And yes, people (myself included) get a little jumpy when we see posts like this, but it's only because we don't want it to appear like we are impatiently hassling the devs. We have amazing devs on the X2. They are busy with personal lives (I mean, really, aren't we all?) and have stated that once they have an opportunity they will be back to working on finishing new roms for us. I'm glad you're excited and anticipating a new rom, as we all are cause we know we have badass devs...

Are you referring to miui from Ace? Dkz hasn't said anything about starting over on cm9.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA
Yup, last he said anything about CM9 was that he went back to CM7 for stability and that he was waiting on Cyanogen to release CM7 RC1 so he could incorporate it into his CM7 code. He also had a small bug to fix. Hopefully the SU issue?
In any case, I'm on Eclipse 2.1 and running great and stable. I was having performance issues, but I found out it was due to Widget Locker. Too bad. I really liked it, but it definitely was causing my phone to slow down after a while and would require a reboot.
my bad went back and looked at the tweet what he said was he was going to leave cm9 alone for now and go back to cm7 for stability
The title says it all, anybody working on a public release that actually works? I tried with help to port my own, but it turns out I'm not smart enough to get it stable.
