UnRevoked Forever?

With the DInc Froyo OTA still on deck, what could this new software possibly mean for us?
Any ideas, folks?
Yes, I know in a few hours it will be unveiled probably, but I want to know what YOU think.

one word....s-off
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Wow finally, eh? Thats a break from the more usual f_off lol.
Since this thread is already made, would anyone mind telling me 1 or 2 benefits of this? I'm a noob and really only know about rooting, flashing ROMs and some standard stuff in adb. How will having s_off help the herd of people like myself, or is it only for the devs and super nerds (no offense).

From what I understand, it allows you to flash new HBOOTs/radios at will, delete components within the /system folder while the phone is up and running, etc. I'm sure there are a host of other things, but that's what I'm aware of so far.

I guess all things Unrevoked Forever/s-off are in the "Unrevoked Tweet" thread in General topic. I'd link to it but am using the app and I don't think there's a way to do it.

...so having s-off will help the real nerds be able to develop more ROMS and themes and such for us?
I can flash a patch or a ROM, but I dont have patience for dev like some of you guys on here. Ill definitely stay close to the forums tonight though to try and learn more.

ill be up all nite on xda and irc refreshing the unrevoked forever page

Story of the Incredible's short life...

j/w, they are holding the fort down because of bricking (which I appreciate, I rather not have software that could cost me my phone and from what I've read it's almost a 50/50 rate bricking rate at that, not a <1% issue), however I'm curious which phone(s) it's affecting (the initial release was suppose to support Evo's and DInc's... so are both phone having bricking issues or only one of them).

Regarding the now-released Unrevoked Forever tool...

Samsung i500 source!

Hey guys, umm I seen this in a post at acentral. Will this help the dev's any?
http://opensource.samsung.com/ type I500 in the search! Just curious? Sorry if this is in another thread somewhere!

This is not new. Nor does it even compile...
I'm glass that you are ambitious to help, but searching the forum before posting doesn't hurt either.

Trust me, I have been around this forum long enough to know to search, but you can't exactly link straight to that source, so, it's not so easy to find. I was hoping that was what the dev's were seeking when they said "We need source" :/

That's cool. I've only had this phone since the launch of this phone and been on XDA keeping up here as well since.
But since you insist, I'll trust you. You know better. Can you compile the source?

Wow, does everyone feel better now?

I've never tried to compile the source for the full system, but as far as I know, the source for the Fascinate does not compile, they left out pieces that are needed. It does compile for the Mesmerize though.

There is only source for a few parts of aosp, nowhere near enough for a full build. Kernel source does compile, but doesnt boot without editing the config.

Sorry, it's hard to be tactful when it's a daily occurance of threads that are repeated.
Btw, I'm not a dev. I haven't developed anything. I didn't mean that to come across as elitist.

Fair enough. I just hate to see people so easily shut down and shut out as if they are worthless just because they aren't on the bleeding edge of the development curve. Perhaps thats why o got a bit worked up. I'm sorry.

Honeycomb on the Incredible

Is this in the works yet??
I wish I knew how to do these things myself and port it, but cant
so I'm just wondering.

You are better off going with CM 7 or CM 7 nightlies than the above link as you will get more support for them here on XDA than that site offers. And in my opinion CM7 is far superior to that mod anyways.

You do realize that their OMHC is a pure beta with hardly anything working, so saying something is far superior to that is a pretty poor choice of words.

It's a sdk port so its crap
Honeycomb is meant for tabs anyway
I doubt we will have a fully functional version here on xda due to our screen being.too small for the OS
He will.port it tho to get more hits on his site

I can't really understand your point. He asked for a HC port and I gave him a link to the only one that I know of. He did not ask for the best ROM running gingerbread, so I fail to see why your still here.

To me, it's more of an extreme dislike of the people posting these threads every day. How hard is it to go to google, type in "honeycomb incredible", and click a link; only to download something you'll use for 5 minutes, tops?

This is exactly the place where people should be asking that question. I can't believe you would say something like that when this entire forum is dedicated to the development of software on phones.

Well, "kids" was referring to the maturity of posts like "I did it to piss you off", etc.
But, if you want to defend them, that's up to you.

The evo must have just been released today

Since the new ota root this forum is like it was a year ago...how do I tether, how do I root, whats a good rom, how do I flash, I think I bricked my phone, I'm stuck at bootloader..etc
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.

What is root?
And why do I need it?

Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

Uh... I think it would be a very nice incentive to get a forum going by finding an exploit to get root so development can start.
