I've tried googling this. Does anyone know if there's work being done on getting Cyanogen Mod onto the Precedent? I see the Prevail (Boost) has a workable version running.

I've run Cyanogen on a tablet of mine (an old Archos) and it's pretty slick. Would be nice to rock it on the phone.

Any links to other forums? I'm going to guess the Prevail forum guys aren't going to spend much time in here any more.
 
Go to Android Area 51 it's not quite CM but still better than nothing :)

Or you know you could just learn how to program and port CM yourself... Just a thought you know... but if you don't want to do any of the REAL work, then stop by, stay for a while and if you like what you see then maybe donate something to the nice guys that put all of their hard work into YOUR phone. :) I hope that I didn't offend you with this. It wasn't meant to, but after reading it I sound like a bit of a dick. sry.

I think the guys over at Android Area are doing some good work, but Cyanogen really is the gold standard and would love to see it on my phone. The boot animation is worth the upgrade alone.

I'm not a programmer, and have no intention of becoming one, so no, I'm not offended. I see you're a big fan of their work and can't fault you for flag waving for them. ;)

here is my source code for CyanogenMOD for the Prevail

https://github.com/hroark13/android_device_samsung_prevail


you only have to make a few minor changes to get this to work with the Precedent, they are the same exact phone, I think the boot loaders are different

I would do this myself for you guys, but I dont have a Precedent, and I dont like putting things out that I cant test myself first

I am a semi-professional, semi-competent, programmer. I would love to work on this, but don't really know where to get started. Where could I get some pointers on porting?

Get source for an earlier port for both the Prevail and the Precedent. See what the differences are. That's how I would attack it. (I'm also "semi-competent", but so far the people who pay my salary haven't found out.)
