shanyel · 01-04-2010, 09:34 AM

this is my last post as gave away my galaxy... moving on

anyway the minute I gave it saw this twit.... some existing news for you.
credits go to mustymod & drakaz:

RT @drakaz: First 2.0 ROM for Samsung Galaxy : Samsung I7500 mustymod ROM (Android 2.0) - Android @ MoDaCo

MichaelW · 01-04-2010, 09:50 AM

It was posted earlier, but in the sticky thread at the top of the forum so you may have missed it.

Some more info from an Italian user testing the ROM here... Google Translate

Bomberman · 01-04-2010, 10:12 AM

Finally some potentially good news. Unsurprisingly not from Samsung.

apolloFER · 01-04-2010, 10:31 AM

Absolutely wonderful news!!!

DD Best news since I bought my Galaxy. Will wait for wifi and other things to work. I'm curious to see how they made the baseband communication.

Xenon · 01-04-2010, 10:40 AM

Great News!

Hebote konacno!

FLT · 01-04-2010, 10:46 AM

Some pictures from another forum

MichaelW · 01-04-2010, 10:50 AM

Drakaz didn't do it, only mustymod. This guy even didn't use drakaz' recovery, made his own.

mkrmec · 01-04-2010, 11:16 AM

Looks like it's working even faster than IK4

bear in mind only an Alpha release

Now... Mustymod, Drakaz and other uber ppl that know how to get this thing together program your arse off pls

apolloFER · 01-04-2010, 11:31 AM

Wow... It looks so sleek and smooth! Absolutely can't wait!!! This + 4.4 recovery will be awesome!
NAPOKON!

mkrmec · 01-04-2010, 11:42 AM

Does the phone need to be rooted for this to work?

Rastaman-FB · 01-04-2010, 12:04 PM

multitouch support? or is this to do with the drivers for samsungs screen being borked?

sado1 · 01-04-2010, 12:08 PM

edit: nvm what was written here, misunderstood.
No multitouch yet it seems, or no apps inside to use that. No root needed but it flashes ur phone with completely custom firmware, based on Android sources instead of Samsung's firmware.

apolloFER · 01-04-2010, 12:10 PM

Yes yes, I know... But why wouldn't I put Drakaz recovery to enable root?

After I flash it with this guys' Eclair.

mkrmec · 01-04-2010, 12:22 PM

Just did it... it seem laggyer than the video... hehe and the samsung lock button doesn't work

instead of it it's the shutdown button. And there is no gallery program .. grr

Edit 1: samsung unlock button works.. but it takes ages

Edit 2: Music player seems the same
phone works
functions are rather useless at this point... allot of stuff not working

Edit 3: best thing at this moment is the new unlocking screen
going back to IK4 now .. miss it allready NOT!!

frostering · 01-04-2010, 12:57 PM

I tried it and works perfect. But no wifi yet... T_T

Matenrou · 01-04-2010, 01:41 PM

Tried it and it shows promise, however too many vital features are missing. Will use it when they are added though. Need a phone to use atm so I had to reflash galaxo and couldnt try it as long as i hoped to.

tsphere · 01-04-2010, 03:41 PM

This is wonderful news! as the rild was considered the difficult part, and that is apparently been overcome, this makes me very optimistic.

mvnjpy · 01-04-2010, 03:59 PM

great! now we don't need to lose sleep or cry over this issue anymore =p

Clandes · 01-04-2010, 04:26 PM

Good news, good job!

Slazem se, hebote

briany · 01-04-2010, 06:53 PM

best news for the galaxy ever!
i'll wait till wifi works, but its still very exciting

apolloFER · 01-04-2010, 08:31 PM

The last picture is really promising. You can see it says 35MB of free memory. I wonder if that's with no killed apps (aka after a standard boot with gmail, calendar and widgets running). I never get even close to 35MB. I mean, I do after i kill the unnecesarry apps but then it drops down. It usually runs between 20 and 25MB free memory.

wallysh · 01-04-2010, 10:18 PM

Wish Samsung take a note of this. Shame on you Samsung.

Samsung is taking note of nothing. LA LA LA LA LA! ...

Sauriann · 01-05-2010, 04:37 AM

good news!!!

spottyelephant · 01-05-2010, 04:42 AM

Pretty much the only reason I want 2.0 is for multitouch support - is this likely to come with that, or are they literally just trying to make it function exactly like 1.5 (albeit with the new apps it allows such as new market and goggles)??

Andronix · 01-05-2010, 05:50 AM

without samsung modifying melfaz drivers for multitouch, we won't be getting any multitouch on 2.x. but who knows :?

what i'm expecting mostly from 2.0 is pptp support, new market, google apps (new maps, goggles,...), bluetooth data (send any file via bt), different timers for turning off screen and lock phone, contacts improvements (private mobile,...), html5 support in the browser

Andronix · 01-05-2010, 05:51 AM

oh and i forgot that flash 10 would be supported only on 2.x+.

spottyelephant · 01-05-2010, 06:16 AM

Ah, well those are some legit reasons then i suppose!

mkrmec · 01-05-2010, 07:18 AM

anything new from the cooking master since this rom came out? anyone talked to him or whatever?

By that do you mean it includes 2.0, or Flash will only come in 2.1?

he updated the thread at modaco, not with new info unfortunately.

adobe mentioned 2.0, we'll see. there is a video of nexus running flash...

zaniku1 · 01-06-2010, 09:46 AM

It is a good new

UKLooney · 01-06-2010, 04:50 PM

Product Manager Ronald Peters of Netherlands Samsung has recently confirmed 2.x will be made available for the Galaxy after all...

Google Translate

Rastaman-FB · 01-06-2010, 05:29 PM

why dont they do 2.1 instead and be fully up to date? i dont understand

UKLooney · 01-06-2010, 05:57 PM

I don't think any device upgrade will be to anything other than 2.1 (or later).
Google says that the only differences between 2.0.1 & 2.1 are that the live wallpaper api are enabled and working, no other major changes...

At the moment if he'd said they were updating to 1.6 I'd be a great deal happier than I am now! If this pans out I'll be pretty happy

Also, surely this is Sammy Dutch not Italian? It's a ropey translate tho...

UKLooney · 01-06-2010, 06:01 PM

I just noticed the date of the article

sorry guys...

Bomberman · 01-06-2010, 06:08 PM

lol

Getting to know this feeling

Naruvam · 01-06-2010, 06:17 PM

This seems like good news

RellikZephyr · 01-06-2010, 06:27 PM

at this point i have more faith in Mustymod completeing a 2.0 port than samsung

so i will be keeping an eye on this thread

Great work Mustymod and too bad i didnt see a donate button anywhere

i hope he finishes soon

RellikZephyr

Andronix · 01-07-2010, 01:52 AM

i believe drakaz will soon have something interesting for us as well regarding 2.0.

spottyelephant · 01-07-2010, 03:27 AM

I see the word "soon" everywhere, and I wonder - is my "soon" as soon as you're "soon"!?

Andronix · 01-07-2010, 03:38 AM

yeah, pretty soon or exactly when it's done

spottyelephant · 01-07-2010, 03:58 AM

Soon to me means 3 - 4 weeks

If your phone has a viable chipset, then you will see an upgrade to 2.1.

Perhaps the Galaxy's specs just aren't quite there...
Still, 2.0 would be nice.
