I'm a recovering flashaholic, been there done that, now just want to enjoy it rather then constantly tinkering, it's too obsessive. Root, xposed, TWRP and custom kernel will do just fine

im in rehab at the mo

Hi my name's Jon and I'm a flashaholic. *audience says "hi Jon". Long time HTC user on Sprint. Originally started rooting on the OG evo 4g to remove excessive Sprint bloat. Went to evo 4g LTE and continued with my addiction. Switched to Nexus 5 and remained stock (go figure) because stock Nexus was perfect for my needs. Now have a Stump'd and Bump'd G3 and am dying to get some AOSP goodness flowing through this beast. Thanks to talented devs, that appears to be coming soon. In the meantime, I'll be here jonesing like a crackhead.

Next Up?

Hey Guys,
First off to everyone that has left or is on a leave, thanks for what you did.
Now, I am looking for some POSITIVE news. I did read that Rob decided to stick with an Epic (love that, Rob is awesome). What else is coming down the pipe? Everyone thinks CM7 will never come, I know its getting worked on, I have tried it, and hope that comes through. What is Bonsai or Viper up to? They both do awesome work. Any new devs out there cookin up some goodies?
I guess I am sick of the looking back, and want to know what you all are looking forward to?
This phone rocks! I just got 42 hrs battery life with the ebay 3500 using SFR and the EE03 Modem. I cant upgrade for a while, so I am going to like this phone.
Thanks for reading and, and I am interested to hear what you all are looking forward to.
PS - we know Z-Man the puzzle lock screen. Which I heard is rolling out...
CM7 ...
MidNight
Bonsai....
Thats basically it.
Although i am REALLY looking forward to the Hangover Part II
What about viper or urban fury?

i Was posting on what i am looking forward to i've mostly stayed on MidNight and Bonsai.
But Acs was the best IMO but with it gone i will spend most of my time on Bonsai or MidNight....
Until CM7 Gets a little more stable and will let me go to 1400 Gigawatts
You know, even though ACS (or ICN) is gone, it doesn't mean this community has depleted. We lost two amazing devs (k0nane and mysteryemotionz), but that should not bring us down! In fact, I bet you if a bunch of the other devs like Rob and Mammon and marcusant, etc. all were to make a new team, I'm sure we could make some pretty sick ROMs. And remember, we still have CM7 in the works by nullghost, DevinXtreme, Dameon, awesome kernels by thomasskull and DRockstar...so just remember, this community still has tons of potential left.

I'm honestly not sure the fate of sr111 120 but as soon as me and jez2cool get more function from our google 2.3.4 build which is the os on the nexus, we will bring everyone in on that and we're trying but I'm a but tied up with the nexus s as well so blame me and the kernel for that delay
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
My two cents - I dont get people and the "oh, what do I do now?" thing. k0nane and Mystery did some great work, but dont leave it up to other people to do the stuff you want done. I spent a lot of time working with a developer learning linux, and how to compile and tweak kernels, because I wanted to make my own(and understand what I was doing). I spent a lot of time chatting with a themer because I wanted to make my own theme. If you want something done, stop waiting for someone else, and get out there and start learning.
so what happened to viper team. the last rom was pretty sick and i really like the viper pad it works very well when you are using the samsung dock and everytime you go to do something else the music would stop playing thur the usb

New ROMs....

I'm like a kid in a candy store! I barely get one ROM on my phone and another great one comes out, sometimes from the same developer! It has got to stop! I am flashing ROMs left and right, neglecting work, family ect ect! What a quandary! I think I am an Evoholic! Is there a 12 step program for guys like me?

All these ROMs are the same ****. Seems like some guy, I mean dev comes along, slaps some dumb name and a boot animation in it and SHAZAM! new "ROM".
What I do is flash cm7 nightlies, so I can flash something new whenever I want, but not really have redo much..
I can quit any time, really I can.
Not all of them are created equal. There are about 3-4 people that are actually doing bases, IMHO, but the rest are more like themers. Still, sometimes it is fun to try a "themer's" version as not all themes play well with each ROM. They can still do way better than I can so I take my hat off to them all!

Remember, you can always quit after 'one more time'
And if you didn't try it that one more time you'd always wonder 'what if' and live a life of regret . Do you really want that ?!!

I agree that so many of them are the same aside from some minor theming. And many are way less stable (and slower) than stock! I have settled on stock (with bloat removed by myself) and it honestly has the best stability and battery life so far. I have probably tried 15 different Evo ROMs over time, and each has it's issues, be it battery life, crashing apps, losing connevtivity, etc. I apprecuate the work that the devs put into it (for free!) but it rarely pays off for me. Stripped down stock simply works best for my phones (despite the dubious speed test scores...)
Anyway, rest assured that you will soon have an Evo 3D with a whole new set of ROMs to try ;-)
LOL!! MY roommate bought my old Moment, that was rooted and setup with my ROM, and he didn't know squat about Rooting, etc.
Now, every time I see him on his computer, he's all over SDX-Developers Moment section.....
Another flashaholic is born!
I had to slow down from flashing roms after awhile. Was going to sleep late every night!

GOODBYE Evo shift thread, new phone for me!

Switching too Samsung galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch.
i enjoyed this thread very much. for those staying for a long time, good luck rom progression.
pce out all!
C ya man. Have fun with those samsung bastards lol jk
Wanna share your Evo shift with someone less fortunate? Good luck with the SGS II
Gotta be honest... thinking about the same move myself. Loving my GTab 10.1.
I was hoping that the next Nexus phone would be an HTC phone.
Nexus Prime is looking mighty spiffy and maybe the Evo Design?

The phone it self can sync to your Gtab, flosscarter on youtube showed a video, plus looks like an awesome phone, but the only issue people has is LOS till update around nov - beginning of jan of new year, not to many people had issues, other complaint was the feel of the phone i guess it feels like plastic, which doesnt bother me.
@Indirect I would love to send my evo shift to someone who could use it, but im giving it to my mom :-D since shes letting me use her upgrade.
@notsointeresting I am SOOOO gonna have fun over there. the phones been out for a little over a month and they got a few nice looking roms so far, but not much can be done yet, still early in the game.
With everybody leaving the Shift maybe this forum should be moved on xda to Legacy & Low Activity Devices

We still have new roms coming. we have the Kingdom rom and the Bliss rom will be coming soon to and when ICS is released we will get that too. The shift is not close to being low active. I for one will probably keep using my shift for another 6 months to a year depending if a phone i really like comes out
I've been due for my upgrade for about three months . Not planning to get rid of my Shift for a long time . This phone has proven to me time and again it's ability to perform. Soon as someone gets an OC kernel going, it's game on . IMO the Shift is very underated.
Yea im waiting for next year, the shidt is still going strong

Well for all those in the audience saying the. Shift is on the way out. I just came back from the local Sprint store ( know some peeps there ) . We messed around for about an hour comparing phones. Running Quadrent, Antutu, and Speedtest. The Shifty smoked them, only OC'd to 1.4mHz. So I'll be keeping my Shift for quite a while .

There is slight heating problem you may feel as you are moving from iPhone to android
However, custom ROMs and Google support will make it useful

I think heating problems will be the least of my problems!
I do like iOS because most things work and don't need customization. I like the idea of Android because you can get it to do anything you want, I have wasted far to much of my life messing with phone's FW but have gad a break, now to waste a lot more time methinks.

Check if your device has light bleed, gaps, moving parts, or cracks
And don't get shocked by the display colors. You can easily adjust them with root and a kernel which supports gamma control.

1) Be prepared with your Google account.
2) Log in www.gmail.com --> Click Left corner "Gmail" text and choose "Contacts".
3) In "Contacts" click on "More" --> "Import..." and choose your exported iPhone contacts from www.icloud.com
4) After the import you may want to try..."More" ---> "Find and merge duplicates". This will be the view on your Phone's phonebook. You can manage it from your PC (www.gmail.com) or just from your Android phone.
Turn on your phone and follow the welcome assistance, enter your Google Account with all your contacts already loaded.
Now you are ready to start exploring.......(Update to latest version...if any....try Google "Keep" for Notes...update apps with Play Store...etc).
I'm helping a friend who is coming from iPhone (he had iPhone 1 and iPhone 4) to Android...He will start with a cheap Skyrocket (Galaxy S2 4.5'' AT&T dual core 1Gb ram and a good camera sensor) with 4.2.2 stock (non-samsung) Android called CyanogenMOD.
So i did this with him.
P.S: You may want to disable GPS, NFC, Google maps location settings (Report from this device & Enable location history), Cell broadcasts, in order to save more battery.
If you want to ROOT your Nexus 4 (have administrator rights for your device) please consider that you first will need to "Factory Reset / Wipe" all your Phone (because you need to unlock the bootloader first and that action wipes your Nexus data)..
So...i recommend to do this first. (But it's going to be premature for you....).
And..you can't compare Root with Jaiilbreaking....because "root" concept it's simpler. JB it's another thing....completely different.
I hope it helps...

Excellent work as always randomblame. I may have moved on my a500 but this will keep my mother up to date. Thanks for all your hard work!
Awesome news. Do you think performance is better then 4.3?

performance is great better than 4.3 maybe. it's hard to quantify. My a500/a501 hybrid is in bad shape the power button fell out the other day when the kids dropped it again that and the holiday and the other devices on my desk are all slowing down my progress.

Excited to see the first build. Will be anxiously watching this thread!
Thanks very much, I was hoping against the odds that someone would work on KitKat for this tablet. Keep working and I can't wait to get AOSP for this one! <3
Thanks so much for your continued work on this loveable old tab.
Haven't moved off your last 4.3 build but looking forward to your first 4.4 release!
About time! WTH took you so long

We've been spoiled by his tendency to be practically first every time. :laugh:
Once at least WiFi is working I might build this myself and test it out. I can't seem to find a repo from your github page but then again I never really was good with github... I'm excited to tinker with this; even if I can't fix anything.

OK, Off Topic over. Back to business.
Yay!! Great work getting KitKat running on your a500, I have been trying for weeks to get it up and running with no luck yet. This gives me hope.
This is what I have so far : Acer A500 Port for CM-11.0
If anyone is interested, check it out
And Thank You to CyanogenMod & and all the devs & mods who have worked on this, and made this project possible.
