Root Alpha Froyo from Punk Kaos

just remember guys...while its huge progress for sure....its mostly broken....and if your not confident in your adb/recovery abilities dont flash it until its more complete

right now, look at this as more of a proof of concept thats fun to play with for 10 minutes :)
 
also, if your on the dl09 radio i wouldnt flash it...as it seems several are having issues being locked out of adb
 
I got put in a bootloop and had to odin. Gonna wait until tomorrow and play with it more

I understand this completely I'm just super stoked that development is progressing so fast. I will say that I now feel comfortable in all I do. But I will also say that I do not feel comfortable being a tester for something that complicated. I feel that their are many more qualified for that. :D

I may flash tomorrow and start image ports of themes (the drawable-hdpi folder will be universal throughout com)....but otherwise ill still be on dj05 until at least a beta release
 
Well, well, well, PK has lived up to his rep. I will be changing my sig now I guess. However, much like 2.1 aosp which I never even tried, Im not trying this today or until I know the things I need to work work. Still this is a lovely breakthru and as nitsuj17 called it proof of concept.

Im the last to criticize this revolution but Im surprised PK released an Alpha this broken, as his own tweets suggested he would not. But, the excitement is justified no doubt. At his rate of development I might be watching the Playoff's this weekend with 2.2 on or not.

A causal peek in irc suggests this is very from not just a daily driver but seems a lot of odin is occuring. Still no negativity here, outstanding job by PK and Im sure the days and weeks ahead will get this sorted out golden
 
On the one hand, PK has finished these ROMs before.

On the other hand, we had a less broken CM6 on GSM SGS over two months ago, and it's still not finished. (Partly due to the devs shifting to Gingerbread/CM7, but still.)

So it's neat, but I'm not counting chickens yet.

Agreed. Cautious Optimism I think is the theme here. I mean look what happened with 2.1 aosp everyone just moved on to something else. This seems more likely to follow thru however

I don't know if you remember from his Eris days, but his FroyoEris wasn't really usable until about v12 or v13. I didn't start using it until about v17. He's not afraid to let people alpha test for him, you just have to be aware of what you're getting into. :D

Yeah never was part of the Eris community but its like anything as you say eyes open. Its all about knowing what you get jumping into. Its why I never jumped into AOSP, no BT or MMS was a no for me. Not to mention it seems it was only as good as what I had already. If it takes PK a dozen revisions to get me a Froyo I can use so be. Finally we at least dont have to have blind faith and hope, there is at last something tangible.
Its kinda sad to see the sub-optimally educated peeps jumping head first into his alpha and then struggling to odin back but thats to be expected. I've waiting 4 months on this phone for froyo if it takes a few more days or weeks till its stable so be it
 
pardon my not know - but what is punk kaos all about - i understand from what I read that he's an awesome developer, but whats his android claim to fame? themes, roms, mods?

He developed froyo for eris

and gingerbread

He'll be the first to admit he leaned heavily on the work of jt1134 and birdman for all his SF work thus far. However, its still impressive that after just a few days he took their work and really made a leap forward.

and now his claim to fame is first froyo rom for fascinate

Since I didnt come from the Eris like many other SF'ers I didnt know his rep till a few weeks ago but he certainly lives up to the hype

:D:p you earned it my friend, like nitsuj17 and NOSquid and Frisco and OMJ and countless others in here [pretty much anyone on my friends list] you have a genuine desire to help peeps out. You cannot fool peeps when it comes to being a nice guy or gal. The cream always rises to the top. Plus its amazing how much we all learn in weeks/months. Compared to September my own knowledge base has increased many times over. Its going to be a tad sad once peeps start leaving once 4G phone start dropping, unless we all end up on the same phone. But then again, this entire AF is full of quality peeps so new friends will be cool too.

Hmmm, getting OT here, lets see keeping half an eye on irc and man a lot of names I've never seen before in there with the alpha dropping. I also am seeing the word odin about every third line. Seems a lot of peeps arent getting very far at all in terms of the install. Im certainly glad Im on the outside looking in. I know how to odin just fine no need to practice tonight :p
