Updated: It Was A Prank - First Android on iPhone 2G, Now CyanogenMod On iPhone 3GS?!

Posted by in Development, News
Last Updated: April 2nd, 2011

Details are being kept internally between team members right now but what we do know is that the CyanogenMod has been ported onto an iPhone 3GS.

Everyone is pretty tight lipped for now but this seems so far to be legitimate, as one of the team members has confirmed the port is working via twitter.

It was only a few days ago when reports surfaced of the Android OS having been ported onto the iPhone 2G which was crazy enough to hear but now the advent of CyanogenMod on the 3GS is almost downright insane.

Progress

So far there isn’t any word on how far things have progressed when talking about the functionality of the ROM on the iPhone 3GS, however Nate Tellari (aka @rikupw) has stated that they have the camera and radio working:

People, I cannot disclose any more information outside of the #team !

Cyanogen Banned From DroidForums.net Part Deux - Update

Posted by in Development, News

If you were following the news at all yesterday regarding anything to do with ROMs and the Android dev community, then you might have heard or read about what has been going on between Cyanogen and DroidForums.net (and The BlackAndroid who developed the Ultimate Droid ROM).

In short, Cyanogen, a well respected, if not the most respected, Android ROM developer, called out another developer by the name of The BlackAndroid for ripping part of his code without giving credit. Instead of a peaceful resolution and an apology, harsh words were thrown around and Cyanogen ended up getting banned from DroidForums.net where this ordeal had originally started.

Cyanogen Banned From DroidForums.net For Calling Out BlackAndroid – Drama Ensues

Posted by in Development, News

Today seems to be the day of drama in the wonderful Android world that we live in. It’s no secret that people rip apps off the Android market and post them elsewhere for free. It’s also no surprise that with Open Source material, people base their apps/Roms off others' work and with that, you always give credit where credit is due.

However, a certain someone, named The BlackAndroid, over at DroidForums, would rather take people’s work, mod it and call it his own. Even better is that they he actually insulted the creator of the source he used, and this creator happened to be Cyanogen, a well respected and known ROM creator.
