Root cyanogen mod

Good lucky getting radios (wifi, cell, bluetooth) to work. I remember getitnow's port of cm7 was lacking these things.
 
Excuse me for the noobish question, but why is the camera so impossible? I know that its third party. I guess what I'm asking is, why isnt it as easy as copying the apk from a working rom over to a ported rom for say cm7? I dont need a long winded explaination either if you don't want to. Just a short hand of why development for our camera is hard. I think maybe because its source code isnt listed because its proprietary maybe? not sure.
 
So, I must be missing something. What exactly is this mod and why does is span across multiple phones?

Cyanogenmod a custom rom mostly for htc phones but has been ported to many others not officially supported. Its pretty cool. Seen it on a few friends phones but dont know anymore than that
 
With CM, you can pretty much do coding on the phone with a very simple UI. Most of the customization revolves around the notification bar and the notification menu. You can change the color of the bar, text (so many options for text that you never would've ever thought about), notification menu, background, etc. It's really cool. I've put in inquiries all over about it on the Phandroid forums, CM forums, and XDA forums, but nobody seems interested in the Ally.

Simply because the apk is propietary and checks for some LG things but cant find them due to the rom being built from google source code. The code needs modified to make the camera capable of being ran, but since the app is propietary (highly dependent and source code being unavailable) We've tried getting this working. Still hasn't been working. If you want more info/better explanation, ask getitnowmarketing
 
I reallly would love to see cyanogen on the ally it runs so great on my eris but the eris is a peice of crap compared to the ally. I can only get a linpack of like 5 on that thing lol i get 10.3 on my ally
 
What is so cool about cyanogen mod tha is not in velocity.
it seems like the velocity team is asking what we want to see next. if its not just 'theming' it sees to me that al lot of it could be ported or moved to velocity. can anybody give a rundown of what it has that velocity doesn't.

My wife's got an Eris and it's running the Cyanogen mod. Personally I was jealous until Velocity 1 came around. IMO the scripts available with Velocity now are both better and easier to use than the customization available with Cyanogen. The speed improvement with Velocity over stock is far superior to the improvement she saw with any of the ROMs available on the Eris as well.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Seriously none of the eris roms even feature an adblocker.

Indeed. While I have a modded version of CM 7 on my Nook Color the performance increase isn't nearly as dramatic as stock Ally versus Velocity Ally.
