If you listen real close, you can hear the crickets in here.

In case people havent noticed, real development around here has slowed to a crawl. With the GalaxyS 4G now selling and TMO ending the sale of the vibrant, we have slipped onto the backburner. This is what is great about cyanogenmod also. As long as we get on the supported devices list, we will always get updates that we can build.

I am also pretty sure the sheer annoyance of the vibrant forums has made quite a few want to leave the platform, for that reason alone. I almost sold mine for that reason, go read the G1 forums, they already have honeycomb, and it is because they are working together, not complaining about release of something new. They just dont realize that they are new themes, not features.

Ehh I have to disagree, I think were doing way better than what we were, Yeah the other devs that left were great, but we still have some good devs around, I think will be fine for the time being, Atleast until the sgs2 comes out.

We've got are the same great roms we always had as before, which have been improved, a bunch of new 2.2.1 roms, made possible by Eugene before he left, and 2 Gingerbread betas.

I think the plateau development has hit is due to the lack of Gingerbread source. The only keck was for i9000, iirc. Froyo roms are perfect as they are. More great leaps will come in due time.

One Gingerbread leak. JUST ONE GINGERBREAD LEAK.

You will see development increase by 300%+

Exactly! 1 tiny little leak will change the game! Dude imagine if it was a tiny leak of honey comb, that would be the biggest game changer on earth lol

Only one can dream.

What do you want your phone to do that development hasn't already provided?

WTH are you talking about? I keep seeing posts about development stopping but I set half a dozen roms from 2.2, 2.2.1 available and 2.3 ports with MIUI, CM7, and Whitehawx. 5 new kernels in the last few weeks. Do people have short memory or something? In the so call hay days I remember 2 roms from TW, one from Master, and one from Eugene and you have to sit there and wait till Krylon finds a new leak before anything happens.

I agree. I am not sure what kind of OCD phone flashing desire some people are experiencing. How many ROM flavors can you possibly need. We already have a handful of great developers hacking their way through the current limited software available from various Samsung leaks. Realistically I am happy we have any custom ROMs at all, since the Vibrant specifically is a very small subset of the larger Galaxy S family. Expecting to see the number of options such as those for the Nexus One a while back is simply not realistic.

I feel like the Vibrant roms for Froyo are almost as good as it's going to get. We've lost some great devs to drama but i think overall we're doing great. Things are going to get hot again when gingerbread drops.
