Does anyone have any idea if there will be CM9 support for the HTC Rezound? Do we have any Devs that want to be on the CM Team? I came from the Eris Community and as far as getting CM support, no one wanted to do it for forever. I'm not complaining, or anything, I'm just curious to know if anyone has already made steps to become an Official Device.
I'm working on a CM7 port, but its my very first attempt and I would say that so far its much more difficult than I thought, and I have been inundated at work so I haven't gotten to do a lot on it in the past couple weeks.
honestly, now that I've played around with ICS a bit on my Rezound, I think I'm going to dump the CM7 idea and start working on AOSP ICS / CM9. Stock ICS is just WAY nicer than I expected... and its obvious that Google took a lot of queues from CM7 when they built ICS. You can use Scott's Senseless ICS ROM right now and get a lot of the feel that CM7 has..
Having CM7 on my OG Droid I am really hoping that CM9 will be available for the Rezound.

I just came from Cyanogen Mod on my Evo 4G. CM7 was awesome! but there is not one for the 3D. Which ROM is most similar to CM7?
There isn't any aosp roms yet. Cm7 is being worked on and will hopefully be here soon.

If you would do some reading around the forums here you would see that CM7 support is coming soon. There are a couple of AOSP Roms here in the Dev section, but there is no sound as of right now on AOSP Roms and not just in the back speaker, but the call speaker too. No calls. If you can reverse engineer the drivers for sound and anything else that is broke on AOSP faster than toastcfh and kmobs then go for it and get it out to us now. In all seriousness though it is being worked on and toastcfh has a working config of CM7 with sound, wifi, 3D working. No sure when it will drop, but shouldn't be long now.
If you want something as close to AOSP without having everything broken, check out Supra 1.5 AOSP version. There are a couple more "Senseless" Roms there too. One by scrosler and another by t3project(I think). Just look around the dev section to find the Roms that have as much Sense stripped out as possible.
I still miss my OG EVO, and AOSP roms are a big reason. The OG EVO IMHO was the best phone ever and there wasn't anything it couldn't do, but I had to have the dual cores because I'm a douche. I'm slowly getting used to the 3D after 2 months and really wished that CM7 was out, but everything takes times and I'll wait for the awesomeness that is CM7

You're a douche?
Odd.... I am also a douche but for different reasons.
Rootyourdroid.net. My nephews blog.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I looked and searched many times and has not found any details.
I have ready countless forums and websites saying that it is not possible to port over a honeycomb rom to the TouchPad because Google has not released the source code. I owned a Viewsonic G-Tablet and I had flashed a Honeycomb Rom and it was pretty stable. Even the Nook Color has a Honeycomb port. Why does the G-Tablet and the Nook Color have the ability to run honeycomb, but not the Touchpad.
Just a question and maybe some of the devs can look into this and maybe succefully port honeycomb onto the TouchPad!
We are waiting on you to port it......thanks!

I am not any type of dev. Hence this question I posted.
Just wait a little while for Ice Cream Sandwich, which will be much better than Honeycomb.
It's not that it's impossible to. It's that it's a pain, it tends to be broken, and with ICS around the corner, there is no reason to waste the effort.
I had a nook color it didnt run honeycomb it ran the sdk emulator and it was not good
Dont worry thr devs who are wotking on cm7 are nit tryung to get one over on u by using gingerbread

This. The Honeycomb roms for the Nook and other tablets are hacked together from the SDK, so they're not optimized for the device they're running on. Since there's no source, issues cant be (comparably) easily fixed. And with that in mind, you need a good working Android base which doesnt yet exist for the touchpad since CM is (rightfully) withholding source due to its alpha status.
Even if we did have CM source, the ICS source release is just around the corner. There's no point in doing it since the work wouldnt translate and just be wasted.
Wait for the ICS source to drop if you want ICS.

All Honeycomb ports are hacks because Google has never released the full source for it.
The Touchpad _could_ run Honeycomb, but as the only development for it is CM7, which is gingerbread based currently, that's what you get.
If you can find some people who want to sink the time into hacking Honeycomb onto it, then you could have it, but I doubt anyone is going to want to bother given that ICS source is due in the next couple of months and with any luck we'll get a CM8 port instead of a half-assed Honeycomb.

CM9 you mean;-) CM8 has been kept open for Honeycomb specifically, so the next CM will be CM9 I read somewhere.
I think HD2 is able to boot Honeycomb too, but it never got stable.

Yeah I think he was pointing out the fact that if you want it go make it. I have to say though seriously? Just in the last week did we go from pretty much no Android to pretty dang functional gingerbread... And already asking why don't we/why doesn't someone port honeycomb... Really? Seems a little unappreciative but maybe that's just me...

First, the nook and g-tablet ARE Android devices to being with.
Second, it took some time to get the above devices to "run" Honeycomb.
Third, neither is completely functional with Honeycomb.
Lastly, if you really really want Android your best is probably to get an Android device. I also have a g-tablet and with custom ROM that made it mostly functional, it was never 100% and issue free. I was never completely satisfied until I got an real Android device (Asus Transformer).
Being able to dual boot the Touchpad with a functional Android OS would be nice. But personally I got it to try out WebOS and have something different.
Honestly I either suck at searching through forums or there honestly isn't a whole lot of development for the photon at the moment :/. I've been trying to find a buddy of mine an awesome setup for his photon. Ive been romming my droid 2 for over a year going from Liberty to Apex to CM7 etc. overclocking and undervolting. this photon has so much more potential but where are some roms with active development??? I don't mind if they are blur-based if they feel like AOSP? But overclocking kernals and unlocking the bootloader? Should we aim for that? And is cm7 development picking up? or even miui? What are your setups for this monster of a machine?!?! and advice is appreciated

Okay, so for starters, you've got a good phone to use as a base. There are not AOSP ROM's and MIUI will come after we get CM7 booting, which is still in the works. We have a kernel right that that is OC'd to 1.3 ghz which absoluetely flies, it's great, I personally run the Home Base ROM myself. It's a legit one, but it isn't up to date with the latest OTA from Sprint, so you may be best going with the SBF file that is 198_7. So I'm Rooted/Unlocked Home Base ROM 2.1 with update 4.2 and 1.3 Kernel.
Does anyone know the current status of ICS development for Amaze? Contemplating switching from Sensation, which is just at the doorstep of getting pure AOSP ICS, currently few minor bugs to be worked out. Just wondering how far development has gone, perhaps at other sites?
Xboarder is doing a ton of the work here and as far as I know he is the one working on it. I believe his latest thought was porting it from another device but so far all we have had is a functional touchscreen.

Similar stuff going on @ sensation - Tripnraver is doing awesome work @ Modaco. I had tried his pure AOSP ICS rom and it's almost ready, save camera and bt, and I can't believe how amazingly fast and snappy it was. Not my daily driver yet, but mighty close.
I guess I should be expecting similar time frame from xboarder (i used one of his CM7 based roms on sensation).
I'll raise a toast to our first successful developer, and send them some beer change, too They all deserve much for their hard work.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378294
The last post from him says he is working on something else currently.
I know ICS is on the way but I am not particularly excited about it.
I was using honeycomb on my gtablet for a few months and was constantly frustrated by the laggyness and broken features. I am not ungrateful because I know the developers are working with what they have, which is next to nothing. But that doesn't stop it from being true that the honeycomb roms were not very stable.
I recently switched down to froyo, trying to get skype working so I could maybe give it to a friend for that purpose, and i was blown away by the stability and speed! It is amazing and I have actually used it to accomplish a few things in my daily life which I can't say I was able to do before. It really left an impression on me that just because an OS is old it doesn't mean it can't be better than the latest.
So now my concern is that ICS will be the same. Is there anything developers can really do to make ICS good without the source code/drivers? Or will it be another ROM that is just there to say you have the latest android on your device, no matter how many compromises there are with it.
I've got ICS on my droid incredible and on my galaxy nexus, and it would be cool to have it on all 3. But I have no problem keeping froyo on my tablet if it is simply better at accomplishing a task.
Haterade disclaimer
This post is not meant to bad mouth the developers or the community. In fact I am constantly amazed at what they are able to accomplish with so little. I don't mean to imply what they do is easy. I also don't think I could do any better. I wouldn't be able to do it in 10 years.
The gTablet actually has pretty decent specs. As a developer on ICS I can tell you that I can boot my tablet in 20 seconds and it operates great. Obviously there are still bug fixes but the build is progressing well. HD video and HW accel all work. Flashback or whatever HC build was laggy because the lack of proper drivers/kernel. We now have all of that for ICS. I'm guessing that by the time our build is done/tweaked it will be more stable and faster than froyo. Keep your head up and watch for the release sooner than later.
You have to take into account that the versions of Honeycomb on the gTablet were hacks of other device versions. It wasn't a true build for our devices, which is why some things wouldn't work. With FroYo, everything is working since all the pieces have been available.
What makes things look better with the ICS development (compared to Honeycomb) is that they are developing a kernel specifically for the gTablet. This, in itself, should make it a lot better than the pieced-together Honeycomb ports. Already they have hardware acceleration and HD video working, things that were only present in FroYo ROMs prior to this new kernel. Personally, I think the ICS build is looking stronger than any Gingerbread or Honeycomb version ported to the gTablet.

This is exactly the response I was hoping to hear.
I wasn't exactly sure if we would get HW accel and HD video with ICS. I knew we didn't have it on HC.
I'll stay optimistic though, thanks.

Thanks for that. Now I am excited lol.
If we can get a 1.5ghz ICS build as fast as the Froyo ROMS and as stable then that is fantastic. That was exactly what I was unsure about... since Gingerbread and Honeycomb were not so strong, would the same be true with ICS? I guess the answer is no, ICS should be awesome for our tablet.

Don't worry we have a great team working on it, and as fosser says when it is released everything will run fast with HW acceleration, there will be no reason to ever run froyo again, unless you like running retro stuff for fun

Camera will likely be working right?
Nevermind, I saw the DRH rom and it says no camera atm. I hope that could be added soon.
Hello all! For my first post, I'd like to say THANK YOU tohat all the developers that have worked so hard to bring us all these great ROMs. I have currently rolled back to the stock ROM, and will likely suffer with froyo until this ICS ROM comes out. While I am looking forward to it, I also know that nothing happens in a vacuum. If you devs are willing, I would be eager to volunteer my time and experience (close to two decades of using and building Linux systems and troubleshooting kernel problems, as well as configuring and building kernels) towards this project as a start. If there is any interest, any of you can PM me from here. And again, thanks!
Oops! Got my threads switched. The above was for the ICS ROM thread. Sorry for the confusion.
drizzt5, the beta links are live over on SD if you wanna check the speed and stability of ICS.

I actually had it downloaded and installed last night and have been playing with it for most of today.
It is fast, but unless I flashed it incorrectly or something it doesn't appear to be nearly as stable as froyo.
Yes, it is in beta and has just been released so it would be foolish of me to expect it to instantly be as stable as the froyo roms. But this is just not there yet. Browser crashes often for me.
Like I said before.

I can see the hard work that has gone into this ROM, and I can see the benefits from working from the ground up for just this tablet. I love what you guys are doing. Keep up the good work and it might eventually get to that level.
