Update 19 November 2011

Hi there, thank you for the given support, it is my honor to see that this project began with outstanding progression rate till now, with 1600 activation and still counting, I am eager to make better user experience on the upcoming release.

There's a few updates that I would like to note down. 

Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Cyanogenmod 9

Just recently, Cyanogenmod team have received their copy of Android latest OS Source code and currently developing on Cyanogenmod 9 as soon as they can (they probably already started) and aiming January 2012 the date that they will release the source code.

Naturally, I will also try to develop, if given the source code are compatible, for our z71 (Foxconn F911) variant. That's pretty much about it, all and all, we'll wait for the date that the source code for Android 4.0 is release later on. 


Migrating to New Workstation

I am glad to say that all my project will be migrating to my desktop workstation from my old trusted laptop (I haven't told you guys that I compiled both MYGingerbread 1.0.3 and MYGingerbread Gaia 1.1.0 on my Core duo laptop :P ). 

My workstation spec are as follow :

  • AMD Athlon II x4 630 Overclocked at 3.2GHz
  • 4GB of RAM (will upgrade soon to 8GB for ICS development)
  • 750GB Sata II HDD (will upgrade soon to make room for all the project)
Indeed it's not a beast, but at least it is still better then my laptop.

As the new workstation is a desktop, I can't code as often as I can as I am currently busy with stuffs until I rarely home early (usually I am home at 2am my local time). Although the new workstation will provide more room for source code, and faster compiling.



New Project and Adding Device Compatibility

As said above, with most of my project are migrating slowly to my desktop PC, I am also proudly integrating several new project in to the family. First of all is MIUI port to Commtiva z71 variant phones, I will also will try to include several devices to the MYGingerbread ROM family although the list isn't confirm yet. 

And let's not forget Ice Cream Sandwich that will arrived any time soon.

I will also will began developing several codes on the kernel, mainly 2.6.35.x kernel family as most of the kernel out there (2.6.35.x variant) are still very buggy, although no promises there except I will try my best. 


MYGingerbread Showcase at Sabah ICT Fiesta 2011

It is an honor to announce that MYGingerbread project will be showcase at Sabah ICT Fiesta 2011 on 25th November to 27th November 2011 with permission and associated with Sabah Open Source Group (SOSG in short). 

I am currently looking for any volunteer to help me showcase the project and Android in general at that time. So if you are in Kota Kinabalu at the time and willing to help, don't hesitant to contact me via Google+, email or even comment below. 



That is all for the updates, wish you all the best and keep up the support :D
