[Q] contributors? - Omni Q&A

Is it possible for me to contribute enough to make the HTC EVO 4G LTE an official device?
I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Right now, if you can make the device run AOSP well, it should work fine with Omni

I mean Your team's site shows support for nexus devices but still in development. I would like to maintain the evo for you guys is what I'm trying to say.

If your device runs AOSP (or any derivatives for that matter) then you can compile and run Omni on your phone.

I understand that. I'm asking something irrelevant to that.

Ah ok. Yes, it will be possible to make it "officially" supported. It will take time though to get to the stage where this happens, as a lot needs to be done first with the sources to make it ready

Wow! Thats all I can say
Wonder that means in real world terms for CM development on phones other than Samsung.
Wow. Google has bought Motorola and Samsung hired Cyanogen in the same day.

Well, apparently he says that CM will still be a side project.... so we'll have to see.
Mmm. I bet they'll start incorporating CM7 as the base for a lot of Samsung phones now.

Agreed. Im sure they want to use his CM7 for a base and they may make him sign something like that. Ive seen this happen in the Apple jailbreak world. Developer gets taken by Apple and all his side developments stopped.
Does this mean cyanogen will become official? God I love that they bought moto, but I sure hope steve is just gonna be used to help build android,and they leave cyanogen alone

What I'm confused about...is he the ONLY person that maintains the CM mainline? If there's a team of people, what's to stop them from making sure this ROM base is updated (i.e. reflects changes made with ICS when CM8 is made, etc.)? I mean, it's open source and non-profit...
I can't imagine the most popular Android ROM all-time could just die, but I ALSO don't foresee this one guy maintaining it at a level appropriate for ~570,000 phones that have it installed since he's now gonna be occupied with greater things for himself.
It sure would be a shame if Samsung sort of grabbed exclusivity over CM...Samsung gets CM, Moto gets AOSP, which to choose!?

It should, if someone ports it. There would be absolutely no need for the SDK ports anymore.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't mean whole lot at all does it?
We need SOURCE code to build a proper ROM. Using the COMPILED system from a dual core device based off a completely different hardware and SoC is useless for the most part, right?
And I thought we had a system dump weeks ago, like 5 mins after the official announcement of the Gal Nex came.

Oh ok, I guess what came out was the SDK system dump. I'm sure it said system dump, but it must have been a rip of the emulator's system.
But yeah, I was gonna say...this release is practically useless with regards to ROMs. At best, it might help debug some things with the SDK port, and possibly get an extra prog or two working (ie. Face Unlock).

BOUNTY!!! 4G for Cyanogenmod 7.

Since Cyanogenmod 7.2 is nearing its completion. I recommend we put up a bounty to get 4g working. This will probably be an unofficial build of the official build if that makes sense. Since 4g will not be supported. I am will to start off with $25.00. I would pledge more but I am hurting financially. I believe putting up a bounty is fair because not everybody can enjoy 4g coverage.
Click thanks if you support this or make a pledge.
jamice4u $25.00

I wonder if all the people in the Cyanogenmod 7 bounty thread have paid now that the Epic is supported? WiMax for.Samsung are proprietary drivers with no released source. It seems unlikely since enough people do not have 4G in their area that this will be done.

As Decad3nce said earlier, this isn't the way to go about it. In the past our team of developers had said that WiMax is the furthest thing on their priority list for a reason, being that it is going to be hellish to do, just like MTD was hellish to do but MTD benefited us in a longer term than many understand now.
That being said you can't just buy your developers so they've an entitlement to get something done, if they decide to work on it they do, if not oh well. Perhaps you yourself can look into the issue and attempt it. And see exactly what it is which is making the topic of 4G such a disliked one. I don't mean to be rude but if it was really easy, or simple because another device has it, it would have been done already, it's been looked at forever, doesn't mean it'll happen. The EVO 4G's instance of it and ours are in no way the same story.

I wonder if the reversed engineered Linux driver for the Samsung CMC-730 chip called Madwimax will work for the Epic since it uses the CMC-730 Wimax chip? I know I saw some video of a guy running a "demo" of Madwimax on an Android 3.0 tab using a usb modem connected to the tab. Could it be modified to run on the Epic? He has tar of madwimax for android in his Youtube video for download. OK I found the video of it:

Because they actually worked on it... in no way was that a hit to the devs of epic cm7!!!! Trust me I know how tough it is to get it working. One of my friends worked on the evo cm7 and he said it was one of the most difficult things he has ever worked on... they spent a lot of time trying to get 4g working... its not an easy task and with wimax being a dying bread probably not worth their effort! I would love to see cm7 with 4g but it probably won't happen because it is more effort than it is worth!

Cool thanks. I hope this info gets to the right people. Since the Samsung Wimax driver source has already has been reversed engineered by Madwimax already, that hopefully will save time for the CM dev crew to figure it out. I am no developer so I know absolutely zero if it'll work or not. I just happened to stumble on this video a couple months back when I did a search for wimax and tablet on youtube while I was researching a tablet purchase for Black Friday. Oh the random things you find while just surfing.
Okay no sweat. Cyanogenmod 9 is more important. I love the great work they did on cyanogenmod 7 this ROM is fantastic.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
This seems pretty obvious so I am sure you guys have thought about it ... but doesn't the Nexus S 4G have Wimax working in CM7? Doesn't it and our phones have virtually identical hardware? Is there a reason that you guys couldn't do whatever those guys did?

Team legacy is looking to support your device, its just that you have low rom memory so our roms will hav to be slimmed down significantly, or you may need to use firerats custom partition.

That's the next update that's in the wings for our phones. This has some new code for Bluetooth and maybe other things I am not familiar with. But with this update alone, I highly doubt tmo will "add" wifi-calling to the N4 or even ever. If they intended it, they would have installed it on the Tmo version/sold by of the N4.
Right, but is it that integrated of an app that someone cannot port it into a custom rom, from a t-mobile phone on jellybean that has wifi-calling?

I don't know the semantics but the gist is not just an apk. I think it intertwines with framework and that's a lot of shifting through code to bring one app to light. I mean there's a thread created with a reward of like over $1,400 to "port" it. lol

That reward thread pretty much speaks for itself then.. lol...
Yeah I believe for ICS it still was an app, and easier to work with. But I did notice that in Jellybean it's no longer in app form, and it seems to be tied into the updated sim cards they are running and I guess, more "baked" into the framework itself.
You would think they would come out with a stand-alone app for ppl without actual T-mobile branded phones..
