Hey all,

I've forked and submitted a pull request to update galaxys 4g and add galaxys 4g mtd.

Currently the teamacid manifest is empty, until we can confirm and update our stuff to correctly support rom manager.

With that, I also suggest that if you wish to add your rom to rom manager that you peruse Koush's document on adding thirdparty support to rom manager.

Specifically:

Finally, to register your ROM for OTA updates, you need to edit your /system/build.prop in your ROM to include your Developer ID ro.modversion (as mentioned above) so ROM Manager can identify the version of your ROM. This is optional as well, but why not get OTA updates if it's just a couple lines of settings!

ro.rommanager.developerid=cyanogen
ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-5.0.5-Droid
Also, I will be working on figuring out goo manager support (open recovery stuff) and possibly recovery switcher.

Just a heads up.

RM support is easy to do now. that document is old. He does ROM hosting now, so it's basically you do everything on a site, upload it, and the RM team will approve it; done.

Just make sure to have the info in the build.prop on the 1st upload.

Edit: hmm..the link I have for RomShare is dead. I'll get with Koush later and get an updated link.

Edit 2: Found it: http://developer.clockworkmod.com/ That was easy. lol

Great, that is very helpful!

My pull request does add Team Acid, which I guess I could have done that part through that link.

The other part was to correct the init the rm manifest pointed to for bml roms, and to add galaxys4gmtd. (as my updated comment in the pull request mentions)

Well, just an fyi. I've officially given up on rommanager support.
But, who cares, right?

It was super simple to setup goo.im support, and I didn't have to wait on a pull request. The support on irc was friendly and I didn't get insulted by them.... <.< >.> *cough* *cough*

Expect to see some TeamAcid roms on GooManager soon!

Goo support it is, should we uninstall ROM Manager that comes pre installed on all the CM9 ROMs?

Before you guys even brought us these ICS roms, I checked out RomManager, and Goo's sites. My impression was RM seemed professional and all, but Goo definately stood out as more dev-friendly & user friendly. Glad you guys set up on Goo. If you don't mind me asking, does Goo host your ROMS free of charge?

Yes, but with their new expansion, donations help.

I think most of them use PayPal it is safer for both parties involved. If you are worried about credit card safety I think you can use the Walmart prepaid card service to load on to PayPal and no CC is necessary.
