CyanogenMod Rage Comic for Vibrant owners

It’s not polite to complain about free stuff, especially when that free stuff comes from a group of programmers and hackers who have worked hard to deliver the latest and greatest software to all of our phones. Not to mention that the software often includes fixes and features that the OEMs who built those phones may never get around to publishing. And while I am thoroughly appreciative of the work Cyanogen et al have done to make the world of Android a more exciting, stable, and cutting edge environment, I sympathize with the creator of this rage comic. The Vibrant seems to be cursed to update neglect, and that curse encompasses the CyanogenMod list of downloads as well. Hopefully not for long. (No ETAs)

There has been a great deal of controversy regarding claims that Samsung was “holding updates hostage” as part of a scheme to devalue existing phones while hyping those around the corner. Samsung has responded, saying these claims are false, adding that “We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!”

CM6.1 on my G1 has been a challenge. I'm off to Nero to give it a whirl. Now to expose the dirty secret of ROMs. Restoring stuff like call logs and SMS history, bookmarks, finding apps no longer in the Market, watching for your SD card partitions to be touched, getting swap just right, etc etc etc. It's almost as bad as going from Windows to Linux.

No need for Cy we have doc's rom kitchen and hard core's kernel. Running Froyo for weeks now.

Who needs Cyanogen when we have Team Whiskey. They make great ROMS for my vibrant

I agree, try Nero V5 with the KA6 modem. It's silky smooth.

The nice thing that Ive found about Team Whiskeys builds is that everything tends to work, unlike Cyanogens G1 builds after he got his N1.

Agree 100%. My G1 always had issues with the Cyanogen roms. Nero has been the smoothest rom I've ever seen.

I'm guessing this is only getting attention because of all the Vibrant users freaking out about their lack of an official 2.2 (hey guess what, none of the US variants have it and yet the Vibrant people are the only ones freaking out). Also I guess we can ignore the fact that there is an experimental (and mostly stable) build of cyanogen 6.1 available here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8139-gt-i9000-cm61-holy-crap-its-full-of-bugs-version-beta3/ and on top of that, there's vibrant-specific discussion and kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864809
