whats with the ics roms?

[res6jya6]

Four or five different ICS roms... and HydroRom is still in Beta. Things don't seem very proportionate here...

It's just one of those things where a ROM was developed for another phone very similar to ours. The timing was right and the source was there, so why not?

I count 3 ICS ROMs.

HydroROM is a much slower, steadier, and stable release ROM. We have 2 current radios for this device... the ICS ROMs come as ports from sister/cousin phones, which were recently released.

How is this dispropotionate?

Imagine how crazy things would be if CM7 worked on ZVH too!

What exactly are you trying to say here? HydroROM is still in beta because we are working on a half a million things at once, ON TOP OF having real lives outside of AndroidCentral.

More choice the merrier, don't you think?

I'm with you on that. And thanks to different folks playing with it now, it will likely work on either radio (despite LG/Sprint and their ZVH consolation).

And I do appreciate all the work that people put in! It was just an observation that maybe these four roms consolidate to two; one for zvh and one for zvd. Might make things move faster, too!

Getting everyone in a forum coordinated? Isn't that like herding cats?

 

[aaronrw]

It's actually really cool to see others add to the cause here. Just wait until all these WIP's are stable....

 

[ddamienzz]

i cant wait until these roms are done!!!! it almost makes me sad that im gonna get a new phone soon. if only the optimus had a front facing camera :'( ive been through so much with this phone <3

Wow let's not forget this was a very low end phone and was lucky it ever got this much development. As one of the first to hack on this phone it wasn't the easiest. I for one know I'm grateful that this phone still gets support and ever got ICS. Let's all remember we(hacker/developers) take time away from our real lives,families,and friends to sit around and hack stuff all for free. We choose to do all this,if you want to take the time to learn and do it yourself feel free I'm sure all developers would love more helpful input.

Lol, everyone knows that us Andronerds have neither friends nor family. We're a full-time breed of nerd. Meaningful relationships are a hindrance, so we shun them like plague carrying corpses in a zombie apocalypse.

Thousands upon thousands of lines of code, you say? Got that done while drinking my morning coffee. You can expect Android version codename Jelly Roll next week.

You're welcomed.

@lolinternet Wow. You pulled off references to meaningful relationship and the inevitable zombie apocalypse in the same sentence. Impressive...

I've been having visions of picking off zombies one by one as they wander toward my house in search of flesh. Fortunately, they have to rely on their waning sense of smell, since their iPhones lack decent navigation capabilities, and I've been using herbs to mask my pheromones.

On an unrelated note, does GPS and GPSStatus work on ZVD ICS?
