This will of course be more than just ics/cm7, with this we can make teams for any project and this page will be the central station for the photon dev team. pm me if you wish to be part of the team and let me know what team you wish to be part of. remember you dont have to be part of the team to help.

post 2 if needed

I don't claim to be a dev but I use Unix all the time at work. any way I can help let me know.

You can help me out with WebOS when it becomes open-sourced

So would you like me to create a webos team on photondevteam

I'm not all that good at picking projects. what is the biggest need to help you guys out as I get up to speed? I'm in st Louis for Christmas but should have some solid time starting Wednesday.

Honestly i really REALLY want to get into developing but i have no idea where to start while a lot of free time, if you or any developer would like to be my mentor i would appreciate it more than anything! I just got this phone awhile ago and honestly am extremely smart, just graduated 1 nd 1/2 years early out of highschool so i dont think it would be too hard at all for me to catch on! I would LOvE to help! Ill eventually try donating as much as possible (could be anywhere from 10-800$) just depends on other things

Im very interested in helping with cm9, count me in, also,
what makes webOS special enough to port? It sounds interesting.

At what level do you wish to help?

Well, I dont really do anything but sit on my computer all day, so probably pretty high LOL.

If anyone needs me to do anything I can try. I can't program or do any kernel stuff, but I may be able to help with the roms you guys work on.

I would like to help too, but I have no idea about developemnt for android. I have some knowledge about tech things since I modded bioses for motherboard in past. I would help if I can, but for first time I'll need some kind of superviser for giving me magic kick for mind

How about adding MIUI to your project list. It appears as though it's being worked on as well.

I will add it to op but not github as that requires source builds.

Ignore big fingers mistake attemping to edit op

I will be able to help with testing and such, I will be out of the States at the start of January and will be able to help with GSM testing then or CDMA for the next few days.

Miui is me, ebbinger_413, and sky24987, and maybe more

I am a software dev. I use to dabble in linux kernel stuff. I also use to work with precentral on webos for original pre -. I am in a 4G area. I have been working on some old g tablet stuff. I always wanted to get into android dev but it just keeps getting away from me. Only problem is I only have one photon and its my only phone. Good news is I have no problem doing any testing as long as its possible to revert back. I would be up for any project. I want to see this phone used to it's full potential.

I know everyone here is waiting for the latest and greatest with froyo release but are there any 2.1 roms in the works?

But there is work being done, it's just not always visible on this forum. I'd say head over to the irc channel if you're looking for the bleeding edge of development information.
By all means folks don't label me as unapreciative, that's not what I was getting at by any means. I appreciate all the hard work that is being done, I know I myself am by no means helping. Just looking for any info regarding. I like to see what devs can bring to the table and the talent that I wish I had. I'd be more than happy to throw money in the directions of developers, jt and dirrk will soon see some. I can't dev but I do support which is why I asked...

Oh geeze. Do we really need more drama again ala Team Touchdroid?
At this point it really doesn't matter to me who gets things working but it would be nice if people could cooperate and not get into mud slinging and that sort of thing.
Internet fame is a silly thing. At the end of the day no one knows who someone's handle really is in real life and they don't care, they just want a decently functioning ROM for their device.

I have full intentions to share. Unfortunately, AOKP is not my baby. AOKP is @romanbb's project. I've discussed a release with him and he has told me not to as of yet and I understand why. The source is there, feel free to get it and compile it.

I have absolutely no idea what aokp is, but it's nice that you guys actually provided us with source so that we can do it ourselves if we want to. God willing I don't ever want to boot in to a Linux system so I might have a look around for a windows way of doing it.

Do you know where the source is located? I checked TeamKang's github, but it hasn't been updated in a day and seems to lack a tenderloin package. I'd love to have a look at what you guys have done, but my quick 5 minute search led me to your twitter (I vote yes on nightlies, btw) and TeamKang. Thanks for everything, man!

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I for one am glad to see that progress is being made. If it take's the Devs time to co-ordinate a release, that's all good. Consider that the TouchPad has ICS, and in a state that is serviceable for many apps. When the HW accel is available, it will just make it sweeter.
Not bad for a $149/$99 tablet, IMHO.

CM9DX2 anticipation

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.

CM9 Port.

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...

When you say he are you talking about dragonzkiller? Cause if so where in his twitter does he say that he has to start over I never seen that? I read that he is very busy with school and family life. Go watch his YouTube video looked like the camera drivers were the biggest problem.
I also missed any kind of tweet saying he (dkz) had to start over

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

I think they accomplished what we would all hope for profitability. Doesn't make the tech they put into the now called products they build any less just means they have to play by a different set of rules and the challenge to produce the same quality of work will be impacted. Sure as users we will lose and gain some features. I just hope they don't forget how they got to where they're at and start charging us or worse stop free rom development.
That's what I'm thinking. CM isn't going to be free anymore.

I'm pretty sure its illegal to sell something that's free/open sourced. CM cannot use android and make a Rom and then sell it. Android is open source.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
True yes but then they are Inc. which means as soon as they are contracted to make a retail phone rom then why would they keep making a free rom. It maybe open source but open source does not mean free. May mean that you can use the codes libs and so on for your own development but if it were free red fedora and Ubuntu wouldn't be making money.
KillerofJoy's i535 Rocking MOAR, and CM 11. Can't be helped, flash junky.
I don't believe it would be a bad idea.
