I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!
looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.
LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.
Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

but no led track ball though still wonder if it'll steal the crown from the n1. afterall desire z isn't a "google experience" phone.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.
Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.
For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

dam, i was hoping for a miracle, oh well... thx
I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.
I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

Mytouch 4g just has a ffc but nothing to die for same phone without a keyboard and a .1 inch bigger screen
Im keeping my G2 because my last MyTouch 3g 1.5 was a piece of junk.
Also, you get stock Android with the G2.
It appears that the reason you're giving is an opinion. Does this REALLY require a new thread?
There are some people here that would use a front facing camera, myself included.
Also, it's been said that the new mytouch is very well built, and running a next generation snapdragon cpu. Spec-wise, this will be a very nice phone.
well actually i like how thin the new mytouch 4g is and the OS runs pretty well. Plus u get the wifi tethering, uma, and has htc sense ui on top.
at least wen i press the trackpad it will allow me to unlock the screen instead of pressing the power button up top.
also the ffc is not very good video was choppy and laggy...it is using the quik app same as the one on the EVO
the material on the mytouch is not good as the G2

FFC helps future-proof your phone since more devices will ship with FFCs in the future. Vanilla android is more of a reason to keep the G2 since we SHOULD receive updates faster than skinned versions of android. The physical keyboard is nice but it definitely isn't needed by most people or necessary for most applications to function (can''t think of anything outside of emulators).

*buzzer sound* Nope, it's not truly Sense UI. It's Sense with a custom skin on TOP of Sense, the Expresso skin that came on the Slide. So it's really a bastardized Sense. *vomits*

Seeing as I own both I can tell you they only thing I miss is the SLCD. Such a difference. Also the MT4G has 768mb of ram. As for stock ui I already use ADW Launcher so it looks the same. It really all just comes down to what your needs are. As far as build quality this mt is very solid, Same if not better than G2, no moving parts =)

Why do you want them to love their G2? If people want to switch to another phone than so what? I love my g2. Itz an amazing phone. I'm going to switch it with a mytouch 4g. Why? I know what a g2 can do. If I don't like the mytouch, tmobile had this thing called a remorse period. Its not that difficult. Well I'm guessing the people that ordered theirs online are SOL

Cool man. You treat that g2 like its your all. Will I use the ffc? Ehh most likely not, don't care much for video chatting. But I have the option Am I going to get the mytouch 4g since I already know what the g2 has to offer? Ehh hell yea. The only reason why my g2 is rooted is because I tether heavily. If the mytouch already have it as a native app, why not.

Because it's not based on the stock android. Please someone, correct me if i'm wrong, but the tethering option on the MT4G is the one T-Mo will use to charge you $15 a month on for using. With the G2 you are currently tethering for free without the providers discretion.
Native tethering on the MT4G, (and possibly on the G2 from the OTA) will mean T-Mobile will be charging that tethering fee just like the other carriers.
That's why they are implementing the 5GB data cap so even if you are tethering on a rooted phone, you won't cost them tons of money.
I have a HD7 and im getting alittle bored of it, and the screen size is alittle too big. There is someone locally who wants my phone and $75. Im not sure if its worth it or not. i know it is hardware wise, but i heard the atrix lags alot compared to others xD Thanks.
the atrix is the fastest phone you will use ONCE you install another launcher. This would definitely be an upgrade.
The people complaining, are generally irked by the bootloader being locked (which will hopefully be fixed soon) and therefore are harder on the phone.

I returned the Atrix yesterday. I really liked it, very fast and an amazing battery, but I had issues with it. My main issue was voice quality. Every single person I spoke to had trouble hearing me. I also didn't like the camera, pictures didn't look good in my opinion. Also, had issues with gps not responding properly from time to time, but I think that was just an issue with my unit not all Atrix phones. Now I'm waiting a week or 2 to see if I get the Infuse 4G, that phone sounds sick!!

just because no one else caught it, you can't install sense on this phone. Sense is HTC's version of motoBlur. Since this is a motorola phone, no sense. you can make it look like sense by installing launcherPro and skinning it, but that's about it.

Lets go over this once. Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz, they are not just skins. They are woven into the android build by the respective manufacturers. To port to this phone you would need the ability to flash custom roms, which you can't do on the atrix. Yes there are a few like gingerblur, but those really aren't custom, just tweaked and skinned. Until motorola unlocks the bootloader (don't hold your breath that the devs will ever figure it out), there is no hope. This is why you probably won't see MIUI either.
getting past that, has there ever been a sense port for a non-htc phone? No HTC phone has had the same hardware as the atrix, so i'm betting it's hard to impossible.
not trying to be an ass, just making sure you understand. This is an awesome phone, just don't come in expecting all the openness of old HTC phones.
from my Nexus S! hahaha i feel like the n1 is a much more solid phone. even if the processor is worse, it still feels just as snappy on cm7. the only thing that drags is that there is no true multitouch... other than that, loving trackball notifications and the solid form factor!
anyone else "upgrade" to the n1?

I owned an ATT N1, sold it for $580 on eBay and bought a Streak, which I sold for NS to ditch ATT and then just repurchased the T-Mo N1 since they are so cheap now. N1 and NS are both nice devices for different reasons. I have CM7 on both and plan to jump between each as I feel like it. NS screen is much better to look at and touch, but there is just something about the N1 that makes me love it. Form factor and trackball alerts lead the way. I plan on keeping both and continuing to buy whatever is released under the Nexus line in the future.

the wonk has been fixed on nightly 74 and onwards. so its dead and gone! hooray.
Hmm, I was talking to a very friend (not a very nice one) and he was telling me I made a "stupid" decision upgrading from iPhone 2g to Nexus One. He said that with that kind of money, I should have simply bought a galaxy s or a g2.
This begs the question: Is the N1 slow compared to these newer phones? I mean, really, how does it compare? Can I expect to continue receive updates for the N1?
Hello all,
I'm planning to get a new device.
Is nexus 4 good on hardware given that it's made by lg?
Should I buy htc one x+ or galaxy s3 instead?
What are your recommendations?
I can afford upto 30k or 550_600$.
HTC One costs around 43k,if you can afford that much then I would really recommend it.Nexus 4 would be a good choice too.
Oops I meant to say htc one x+

It's a nice one but I think n4 is better,it doesn't have much memory though.

I had the same thing in mind.
But it has a better interface, processor and beats audio.
I don't care for most if these but has lg made a good hardware for the nexus 4???
Btw nexus 4 arriving here in a week
Agreed,sense will always have a better ui than anything in the world
Don't care about the beats audio,have seen ppl using other mods despite having beats audio.
Lg is a good company,we don't see it as a cell phone manufacturer,do we?
And you mean,you've ordered n4?

What you mean by hardware?
Build quality?
Yes
Then Slymobi must have something to say about it.Nexus 4 to me looks good,has a much better build quality than any of the Samsung devices.
I'd go for the N4. Purely because your getting a pure google handset, with new updates guaranteed (unlike HTC. Who sometimes cancel or don't even bother to update devices), you'll also get something that's easy to BL unlock, root and experiment with. And being a nexus device, I'm sure there would be a lot try out!

The build quality is just great! Just the speakers and the camera are not as good as the HTC one's. I had both phones One and Nexus and this glass look looks just so much better than the "plastic" from the HTC One X. And it's also easier to root than the HTC phone. It was a pain in the ass to root the One X and to flash ROMs on it. The Nexus is definitly the better choice also in relation to the money,
I'd get the nexus 4. I already have a nexus 4 and it is brilliant. It feels more premium than the galaxy s3 and the htc one x+. Plus it is easier to root and will have excellent developer support. You also get the newest updates from Google themselves.
I have the one x, great device, doesnt feel "cheap" at all, n4, while having more "premium" feeling also can break more easy so keep that in mind.
Also, hox is easy to root, dont know why is everyone saying its hard lol.

Also the latest Nokia lums is good and it doesn't cost a lot.

Ive seen it. Frankly Id prefer android!
The hardware of the N4 is amazing for the price. Fastest phone I've ever used for sure. For value/speed, nothing comes close.
The glass back is fragile so just make sure you purchase the right protection.
Jellybean 4.2 is so good you could use it without the need for rooting

Never happened to me...strange. I think the 4.2.2 update solved this issiue for the most people. I think that happens to maybe 1 of 1000 N4 devices. And if yours is affected you can send it back and order a new N4.
You can still choose the HOX its also a nice device and it has almost no bugs but its got that crappy Tegra processor which seems to be not very familiar with the android system itself and some Gameloft games.
