Root [ROM][WIP] CyanogenMod 6/7 for the Samsung Galaxy Indulge

Btw. Translation of my post above, and PlayfulGod's response, for those just joining us with their brand new indulges and wide eyed dreams of a better world...

"Brotha's gotta be realistic yo, when it comes to what we can expect out of this phone. We got a broken (but patchworked) kernel, with no custom one yet, a grand total of 2 very good Rom's (that took their respective creators Months to dev), and a device that spits on all traditional attempts to understand it."

"If they can do it, more power to them. But the phone came out way back in Feb, we've had minimal support from xda and the cyanogen guys, and our own dev's are still wrestling with the nuances of this phone. So unless Samsung suddenly releases all aspects of their source for this device in a miraculous attempt to win back our goodwill, it's probably going to be the best course of action to temper your expectations about what we can and can't do with this phone for now."

Heyo everyone,

I was working long and hard trying to compile a cm7 for indulge. That didn't work out so well, due to my lack of linux knowledge. During the time I was trying to build it, I asked Playfulgod for more than enough help. People kept asking me when the new version of Exodus would come out, but now that's riding on this current project ;p.

Mostly all of the work of porting Cyanogenmod is going to be done by Playfulgod, due to his experience with porting CM to prepaid devices, and his linux knowledge. I did my best to try and learn linux, and I learned a ton...but Playfulgod knows much much more lol.

He offered to help try and port this thing over, so the reigns are in his hand. Keep in mind though, he doesn't own an Indulge. So that's what I'm basically here for. I'm assisting him with what I know about Samsung phones, and in case I don't know something I always refer to other known samsung devs: Konane, Shabby, Dr, and Decadence. Also I'm providing him with all the samsung goodies he needs to get all this working. I at least now understand how github works, and what a list of src looks like and should contain.

Before we release it, to prevent massive bricking I'll probably be the main one testing it. When we feel its safe to release, and that it won't mess up your guys phone, we'll definitely do so.

He also mentioned that we are going to have to start with CM6, instead of CM7. He listed the reasons above, but keeping mind if we are successfully able to get a working/stable CM6, we can then try to port CM7. We already had about 4-5 successful compiles (aka CM7.zips for CWM) of CM7 for the indulge, but when I tried to flash with CWM it failed. So, without having any working CM on the indulge, its hard to start working with. That's the reason were going this route.

were you using signed zips? if not did you turn off signature verification
I. used playfuls om c7 rom and had to turn off verification to finish install
