[Q] 2.2 (Non-USCC) or 2.3 ROM for Mesmerize?

---

Is there a 2.2 (that doesn't come from USCC) or 2.3 ROM available for the Mesmerize?

Well, being that 2.2 isn't out yet for the Mesmerize from USCC, yes. Now if you are talking about something other than the intended firmware, then the simple answer is no. If you want to flash AOSP there is a few variations floating about. All of which will make some part of your phone non functional. There is a mostly non working port of MIUI that is available also. There are several options right now. None of which are really that great for someone who wants a fully functional phone at this point and most of which are for the Fascinate so I really don't recommend them even though a lot of people are able to flash them and come back. It really depends on what you are wanting. We are currently working on a couple of things, but again, they will be based on the firmware that is coming out from USCC so if you are trying to get away from that type of firmware, then you will have to wait until those projects are done and we get source code for 2.2 to get other things working.

I was hoping there was news of a experimental build of CyanogenMod for the Mesmerize or something like that, but if not, that's fine. Hurry up USCC, release 2.2!

There is a spot on their site for Galaxy S, but no team assigned, so no cyanogen - at least in the near future.

These things are on my list guys (= But as the semester progresses I have less and less free time. If you want to wait I will get around to it eventually. Alternatively, you can read up on Android development and start to chip in (= It would be awesome to get some others working on this stuff since it's a lot for 2 people to handle right now. Soo that's the current situation..

Work 40+ hours a week, plus 10 college credits this semester... If I had some free time I'd love to get involved in development. Maybe in the summer if there's still a need in the scene.

Soon as I learn more about java, I'll be pitching in for sure

Well Android is written in C and a little C++, might want to read up on that.
