No official cm9 for nexus one

[Theshawty]

Did you actually read the comments posted here, or did you just go straight to posting? The article is wrong, and there is a (give or take) 50% chance CM9 will be produced for passion.

To be honest, I think it's even lower, despite what the chart tells us. I don't know, but it seems the adreno 200 is too weak to properly handle the demands of a fully GPU-accelerated phone. It might work with a few optimizations, but I doubt it'll ever be a good as if we had an adreno 220 or like it.

Oh, didn't realize that, sorry. Well, if they do it, they better hurry. Or I'll check out the HTC One S soon.

BTW, is there any way to tell the likelihood of the One S to get CM? Or how popular it might get with developers in general?

I installed texasice the other day I was overall pretty happy with it... Battery was insane so proof that it can be done on the original snap dragon

But there is no camera preview, is it?

They should just merge the TexasIce rom into CM9 for the n1.

If you want a certain ICS devices please leave now; get the One S. If you want to find out more about the One S, don't post on the Nexus One's section...

And another thing, comments like "hurry up with the dev." get you and the dev no where, so stop posting them.

Now the fix for camera preview being in place we can look forward for CM9. There is one rom based out of CM9 in development thread posted by dkzero_cool.

Thats a very good placeholder for CM9.

In my "Personal" opinion CyanogenMod and his team can only modify ROMs and not build any ROM from scratch. All they do is to wait for someone(mostly google) to release ROMs and then customize it and feature pack it to a very large extent.

Thats why CM could release CM9 so quickly for Nexus S.

Having said that, there are many developers that are working towards Nexus One ICS development and for N1, ICS is just an inch away.

i have to agree with you mate. The nexus one has some awesome developers when it comes to custom roms i am sure that cm9 will come the the n1 soon

We might be luckier if some certain people don't offend our ICS developers though..

And that's why that guy8zv should be banned.

Generally speaking, when a dev has a rom ported from cm source, and is able to demonstrate the ability to maintain clean code and style, they (and their rom), will be included in cm, and the dev will will become the branch maintainer.

Please define what you mean "from scratch". CM9 is on many devices which do not have ICS and never will have ICS, Nook Color being one example. They took the ICS code (NOT ROM, code), modified it where necessary for the device specifics, took the known kernel config that was tweaked and configured and patched over the Froyo and GB development times, put it all together.

And you also realize that CM9 is, by design, AOSP + additional tweaks. Therefore taking a known stable ICS codebase, like the Nexus S, and making a CM9 branch for it, isn't extraordinarily difficult, especially with the knowledge learned from previous experience on patching in CM specific function into ROMs.

What CM will not do, however, is release a ROM which is half baked. If the phone won't connect to the carrier, wifi drops in and out, and the kernel is unstable, at best it would be a private alpha build. It wouldn't even hit nightly until it was stable enough for non-developers to use.

So let's just say you don't like CM, that's fine, badmouthing them, however, is not.

I think I may be the only one to not care so much if we actually get ICS or not by official developers. Let's face it: The Nexus One is not a great phone anymore. It was a great phone back when it was released, no doubt, but it's still known to have a few dodgy components. A faulty power button that dies relatively quickly with moderate use and a digitizer that's very unreliable.

We have a few great developers bringing us ICS and that's awesome. Then again, the Nexus One has old hardware that isn't capable of running Google's latest operative system nicely.

Who cares if Apple has longer support for their devices? Technology is "evolving" faster and faster, and in two years from now, the phones today will be outdated in terms of hardware.

Texas Ice compiled ICS source code, build compatible kernel and drivers from almost nothing and put in a lot of hard work to make it a complete ROM. It is still a work in progress but that is what I call 'build from scratch'. In a few days, we will see CM9 taking Texas Ice code, modify it to have additional features and thats what I call 'modified ROM'. You said it yourselves that CM will work only upon a stable ICS build as it isn't extraordinarily difficult, and that's what I was saying.
I also said this is my "Personal" opinion and I don't understand why you consider it badmouthing. I do like CM and their work. I just want to let everyone know that CM9 will come only when a stable ICS build is out because that is just the WOW of CM team.

Yeah, ignore the entire first paragraph of my response. Let me summarize. NO, CM doesn't just sit around and wait for someone to make a ROM. But if there's a stable one to use, why wouldn't they use it?

And are you claiming CM9 will use Texas Ice's stuff? You make it sound like they're going to rip off his code. If they did use it (in all or in part) they'd make sure he's on board, and he'd be credited.

Doesnt matter to me if its official or not because we have some hard working developers on the nexus one that can make tasks that seem impossible to possible.
