Do you think it's ready for an alpha release?

Everyone is going crazy about this rom, so naturally everyone's reaction would be yes.

Personally, I'd say that the camera is going to take lots of work, so releasing it before the camera is done is okay. Mass storage is okay since we can pull out the sd card if we want to use it. Nfc isn't used too much since there's not too many uses for it right now.

So yeah sure, I'd give it a go.
 
Anyone from sprint want to try the rom to see if it works correctly for the sprint version?
 
Huh. There was 666 posts until my post making it 667. :P Moving on..

Anyways, does anyone have any idea on how we can get the camera working? I'd love to put this ROM on my gf's phone but she's in love with using her camera. xD I tried looking around for Camera fixes to Cm9 but everything comes up to the HO Touchpad or a Samsung phone. Dx
 
My interpretation of AOSP is any rom built from source that sticks to the vanilla android experience and is open source... Which CyanogenMod does pretty good job at... Any ROM that attempts to break free of that I place in a category of its own... Touchwiz, Sense, and all that other nonsense the OEMs throw at us (unintentional pun... Lol) is pure evil...
 
Okay thanks for clearing that up. Going to attempt to get CM10 booting. I'm new at this. In Ubuntu, I can't copy files from one directory to another....I have to go into terminal and sudo mv it. Anyway I can enable permissions to just copy and paste files?

Found my solution, I can only modify files in the /Home system I guess. Now were good!

you should be able to right click a folder and open it as root... however this should only be occurring if you're moving root level files... are you saying this occurs when touching any files period?

Just found out my problem. I made the folder in the root of Ubuntu. I guess I can only move around files in the /home directory. I didn't have an "open as root" option. But I could manually move in terminal with the sudo command.

All set now though!

Sudo gives you root permissions... root permissions are necessary to mess with the other directories... the file browser program doesn't use root priveleges when performing tasks... I use Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon and in whatever file browser it uses there is an option to open a folder as root... that's what I was referring to
