So the other galaxy s phones have touchwiz 3.0 and the epic has 2.5? Why would they take away all the internal storage and dumb down the software?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
A quick search and you'll discover that the Epic has TW 2.5 because of the phyiscal keyboard, which uses landscape mode more often than the other phones in the Galaxy S Series. TW 3.0 was not fully optimized enough for landscape mode at the time of release.
The choice was to further delay the release of the phone or use a modified version of TW 2.5, and most of us are happy to have the phone with 2.5 than have no phone at all.
If you must have 3.0, I suggest a different phone on a different carrier or wait to purcahse our Epic after the update (date TBA)...
I know very little about touchwiz except from playing with the epic so can someone tell me what touchwiz 3 provides over 2.5?
Im roaming in a 1xrtt area so searching for things is a nono. And im only asking a question, no need to get defensive bruh. But anyways, so the other galaxy s' cant use landscape mode as efficiently? Or just the home screen?

I think touchwiz 3.0 is just alot more eyecandy like the puzzle lock screen and the updated media player. Idk im not well versed in touchwiz. I wish they gave an option to go vanilla. I hated when they took that option off from the hero when they updated it to eclair

It's part eyecandy and part functionality. 3.0 supports changing the icons at the bottom bar and adding and removing pages from the home screen, for starters. 3.0 is a nice jump ahead of what 2.5 offers.
I have 3.0 on mine...

Later this month sounds about right. The G2 was released. If T-Mobile gave us froyo before the g2 was released then people who have the Slide won't get the g2. Its all about marketing. The only thing is, why would a rep tell you that before that information is even released to Engadget, etc. (no offense)

I would think they want as much people who have the slide to simply just run impatient and switch over to the g2. Marketing! I don't think the reps get news before us. They're not the major players (no offense to any reps who are reading). I think they get the news the same time as us or at least a day or 2 before us, but then again I could be wrong.

You can root and then simply unroot to get your warranty back, but I don't suggest you root. Its not easy to root the slide, also alot of people who root the slide switch back to stock because they realize that not everything works with a flashed rom.

I'm running the stock rom just that it's rooted so that I can install & run the wireless tether apk. The stock rom that comes with the phone suits my needs. I've tried custom roms on my G1, but they are never quite 100% that everything is working. After the fun wears off, I reverted back to stock so that everything will work.

I've been using CR_MOD for a month and I like it. Everything work + a2sd + wireless tether. I can even flash live wallpaper and use it with ADW. I can even remove the built-in swype and install another version of swype which support more languages. I'm really satisfied with this rom.

You need to flash an AOSP rom like CM6.
Yeah but I heard cm6 doesn't support 4g which I use. Thanks though. Any others?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Then use launcher pro.. Until a really good rom uses 4g.. if you can't find any, than look around I'm sure you'll find one
What exactly is launcher pro and how do i use it? Sorry I'm sort of new to this I came from an iphone 4. less than 2 days with the evo so far.

Search it on the market, or use ADW Launcher, as far as using it goes, you'll figure it out quite easily by yourself.
Edit: when you press the home button it'll ask if you wanna use Sense or whichever other launcher you have, press the check box, then choose the launcher you want.

Really? Just browse through this thread to see how awesome you can make your phone look with Launcher Pro.

You don't need cm6 u can use snt sence based rom and if u search calk. Has a flashable.zip that u can use to remove sence but not have any of the setbacks of cm6 ie. No 4g....and then use launcherpro and u can customize it to basically look any way u want..the best in my opinion. Then just go to settings/ applications/manage applications and "clear defaults" on the home screen. And use launcherpro....pm me for any questions if u have them.

You're going to pay that much anyways. You might as well save yourself the god-awful battery life for some moderately faster data speeds.
I've been using LauncherPro Plus on my unrooted (but probably not for much longer) Evo. Take some time to go through all the settings and look around the dev's web site. It's worth the investment of time.

Spoken like someone who doesn't realize 4G in Atlanta is still in testing/beta phase and won't be fully available until Dec/Jan. I'm in Baltimore and we are another 4G test city. I can download at speeds that rival Comcast cable modems in this area with minor battery life differences. In fact, my 4G tethering is my only source of home internet connection right now and I'm happy with it.
So, to answer the OP... Go to Sprint and look at their lists of testing cities. If you aren't in one of them you can't use 4G anyway so you can switch to CM6.1
if you are in a 4G city, then I suggest either the Virus-Rom (10/27 edition) with LauncherPro or a ROM that is designed to minimize sense:

hmm i tryed lockbot but i dont know how t set the lock screen. also most of the reviews suck.
I believe you have to open the app first, set your options and then it will work. The problem with any of the lockscreen replacements from the market is that they don't disable the stock one so from time to time you will have some issues. The only other way to change the lockscreen is to use the flashable aosp one in the dev section
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
hmm seems i have a perdicament here... not really. waste post. yay!
If you root it and flash a rom, you can just flash the aosp lockscreen, which is theone from the nexus 1

Do you mean Fennec Fox?
I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol
It'd help to know the specific things your wife does not like about the MyTouch 4G.

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.
I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?
Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

If anything don't get the g2 I had it. It's slow as hell outside the stock Rom. Has a good build quality to it though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware
Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.
After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.
