I am no dev, but I am very good with Lynx, so I plan to become a dev for the incredible. I want to bring good to this Incredible Device.
Basically if Paul is successful completing the root of the Desire, the Incredible should be a shoe in. The Desire is half rooted so to speak.
I just put in my Pre-order and will be pulling a Kitchen/ROMs together once we get root....
I worked on the Eris Root and that was pretty damn tough...but we got that done as well as rooting the HTC Tatoo in the process
So I will have ROMs/Mods in the future.....as well as another couple Dev friends of mine that are heading over as well!

as this phone had google branding on the back, will this phone have an unlocked bootloader like the N1 and moto droid?

I wasn't aware that the MotoDroid could be unlocked in the same manner as the N1.
To the best of my knowledge, Verizon has no plans of letting any phone they release be rootable out of the box. They have the most stringent controls of any network carrier and given the size of their network in the US, they don't have to compromise.
HTC Incredible
I'll be receiving mine wednesday, hopefully will get into this thing very deep, willing to help, count me in.
Just placed my pre-order yesterday. Can't wait to root it
I might end up doing some dev work on this thing... we'll see

The moto droid does not have an unlocked bootloader like the n1. and this will more than likely follow the same suit as the desire and legend, so whatever paul did to root the desire and legend will more than likely work on the incredible. hold tight guys, im hoping to start developing on the incredible as soon as i can afford one

I haven't before, but depending how long it takes the other guys, I might dig in. All depends how functional it is with the stock rom
Most of our devs are gone. They've run off to the Evo portal and ebayed their Heroes. In turn, people bought their Heroes on Ebay and we will have a flood of noobs coming. We probably won't have a rom update from a major dev ever again, and... it makes me feel empty inside.
Darch is still here, Regaw is still here. Not sure who else is.
Toast and flipz have said hero dev will continue, just slow. I think jschi didn't jump ship either. And he is a genius

Heh. Look at the bright side: now other people can take over the reigns; and trust me, some people here are more than capable at doing so.
Don't feel empty, but I am a little upset with HTC. They've pretty much made us dependent on the developers here. I would be fine with stock roms, but it's pretty clear that HTC is pretty much done supporting the Hero. 2.1 is it and the update comes with its own issues that weren't in 1.5.
I got an Android phone with the assumption that it would be supported with the latest updates at a faster pace and for much longer than what I'm seeing by HTC. It makes it pointless to ever do another contract if I'm going to be stuck with a phone that won't get regular updates from the manufacturer. I'm not sure if I would get another HTC phone. I hope Sprint gets the Nexus One.

^ this and i am thinking that devs from other areas will step into heros now that they can pick them up much cheaper than before the evo was released. look at some of the older phones, they are still going strong in the dev department.
i am not worried even if i end up with 'just' darchdriod as my daily rom for the rest of my contract (another 6 months or so).

I'm not that sad... lol. I am, however, sweltering, tired, and need to turn my AC on. Darchdroid is the best OC rom out there, and RegawMOD is the best NON-OC rom out there, so I think we are pretty good in the dev side of things.

The Hero is sort of the unwanted stepchild of XDA now. But, all the first-time Ebay adopters are coming to our "rescue".
I cant do what flipz, damage and darch do. Just naming top 3 roms.
But i can put things together and fix broken things. Ill be stuck with my hero for quite some time. So im always willing to collaborate with others to get something working.
Also im sure we could ask a few questions here and there to the main devs for advice and help. No matter what phone they currently use.
I think we have almost everything we can think of, OC, roms, JIT, themes etc.. I think that covers all the big breakthroughs for are hardware restricted phones. But we can always improve on them, many here are capable. So yeah it sucks these big names left but im honestly not worried about the future of the CDMA hero.
Save up and buy an evo.
This is just how the phone loop rolls, once theres something better , you don't go back.
I will be keeping my hero, but yeah look at it this way , XDA devs are not the only ones dumping the phone , so is sprint.

It does have "full root" but the storage has nand locked/protected. It's like that little switch on and SD card or floppy to protect it only its software not hardware theyll break it in a week or two. You can pull apks in recovery... and WiFi tether needs a netfilter kernel so give em a week and it will work.

The difference chances are would be minor...there is no reason why not to support it...
Reason my guess it will be minor is it would be too much hassle for samsung to create separate firmware just for 1 phone one 1 carrier when they are distributing the phone to so many companies...so chances are it will be 99% the same..

Just because Samsung's ROM is close doesn't mean the AOSP ROM will cleanly transition from one device to another without individual tweaks.

I don't think not having Cyanogen is a dealbreaker.
Cyanogen was what made me love my Nexus, but it doesn't make a phone unlove-able.
As long as there is a good recovery image, optimized kernals, and theme support in the community, I'd be happy.
Then again, if he just made CM6 for the Epic, it would make things alot better.

That is true. I am so anxious to get this phone, I am going to keep my nexus though as my stand alone developer phone and dev android only, it is a headache to dev on my nokia n900 sometimes.
I don't want to have to rely on Samsung for software. I've heard Touchwiz is buggy and slow and Samsung has a bad reputation for pushing out updates. The hardware on the other hand looks absolutely phenomenal and with CM6 loaded on it, it would leave other phones in the dust.

As for Touchwiz being laggy isn't really true, whats lagging is the crappy RFS partition which is limiting our I/O...thus causing the lag...we have a fix for it but it still needs a bit improvement...

Either way, who cares? Who would honestly want to run that bloated piece of junk on a real phone? All other things aside, this should probably be in general.
I agree it should be. I apologize. Mods please move.
I'm willing to bet that it's an Iphone put into an HTC case...perhaps hooked up to the OEM HTC screen. Still a very clever hack if that's the case. But still not as impressive as porting the entire OS with everything working.
I'd certainly flash it and keep a nandroid of it to show off to my geek friends, but, I'd never use it.
Once again, it's incredibly doubtful that it is exactly what it seems to be, though I know it's far from impossible....just improbable.

Yes. But the Inspire is on AT&T, and it's the very first AT&T Android device to allow sideloading.
The point is that hopefully AT&T is signalling a change for all Android devices, including the Atrix 4G.

I doubt AT&T is going to change anything. Other sources are saying that the Inspire also has sideloading blocked.

You can't use full custom roms on Moto phones. Apparently they didn't get the memo on what Android is and they're trying to be Apple. The Inspire should be able to use custom kernels. The Atrix will be rooted and will probably get custom roms just not roms with custom kernels. As long as the phone works like it should and isn't an abortion like the Captivate I won't need custom roms.

I had a Fuze too, briefly, til it met a tragic end and then the great insurance thru AT&T found a loophole and refused to replace it. If AT&T didn't offer the best service in the backwoods where I live, would have dropped them a long time ago. Sprint, not an option.. T-Maybe not even present at the table.. VZW took over AllHell and have not touched the infrastructure since then. And I bought out my contract just to leave AllHell early they were soooo bad.

Right. Because it's on AT&T...which doesn't allow sideloading. According to CNET, though, it will allow users to remove AT&T bloatware, so one less thing to do after rooting.
