Sense sucks. Ffc is nearly useless.

threads like these make me wish i was a moderator.... seriously, like comon you are talking about Z having a sense? you DO know that once root is accomplished, it would be super easy to load custom roms on the G2 right... and i;m pretty sure devs would work one up with sense.
and as far as ffc is concerend... the desire Z doesnt have one.... correct me if I'm wrong

yup, he sure did a fail rant lol.
You do know that once the G2 gets nand unlocked we will be able to install Sense onto it right...And like the people above me said, the Desire Z does not have a front facing camera, sigh.

I'd much rather have vanilla android anyway. It should make getting gingerbread a smidge faster. I want that so bad, I don't care if it's a big nothing. It's the wait that's killing me.

I am sorry to break this to you but ginergerbread is mostly concentrated on UI changes like colors.... its going to be green instead of yellow for status bars and all. Also, they are concentrating on integrated video calling (hence FFC stuff) and better usability for tablets...

I know, but I'm kinda hoping to be surprised. And the sooner it comes out, perhaps the sooner we get permanant root.

FFC? Who cares? How many of your friends REALLY have a phone with an FFC? Okay, maybe all of one or two if one happens to have an Evo and another happens to have an iPhone 4. And you're really inclined to call either of these people versus texting them? Right. And since you're so inclined, now you really have to use up your strength to hold your phone a foot away from your body in order for the camera to get your whole face in the camera for the entire conversation?
If you answered yes to all these questions, you are in a very small, small minority.

And you are sending this retarded post from your Nexus One which has neither Sense nor a front facing camera. Personally, I don't need a ffc, I have an iPod Touch 4g if I ever really need to see the person on the other end. Don't need Sense either, already have Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets and Weather/Toggle Widget from the market. I can customize my G2 a different way for every day of the year. Sense sucks.

myTouch 4G Motoblur Rom!!!

Has anyone Tried porting the droid x rom to the mytouch 4G or is it just me with the crazy idea that the red eye would look cool as h*ll i have the live wallpaper now i wish i had the real deal droid X was first choice before mytouch wish it worked on gsm 4g
I doubt we would see It. IT just takes a insaine amount of work to port different hardware makers roms to different hardware. thats why you never saw a sense rom fully running on motorola hardware. But you do see HTC Sense roms running on other HTC hardware that did not come with Sense (like G1 running Hero rom for example). You would have to reverse enginer the kernel, framework, and drivers to add the neccicary API calls.

True, but I remember when Motorola first came out with the Cliq, they ported it over to the G1.

do you just have the various DX Eye LWPs or do ya have the Bootanimations to go with the LWPs?
I find it kinda fun to mess with folks at my local TMO store by booting up my Glacier and it having the Droid Pro Bootani, then having one of the modded DX LWPs and shuting down into the D2 Bootani. however I am partial to the Pre-release/Holiday edition Nexus 1 boot ani for my daily driver.
I just have the live wallpaper now
Someone needs to call dexter I would so donate 50$ for this project and another 50$ if it full works

here's the link to a .zip I just put up on megaupload with the bootanimations for the D2, DX and Droid Pro. after downloading unzip, select which ever one you want to use and install like any other Boot ani.

no problem man, I get bored sitting in my truck waiting to get unloaded so I troll around the other boards looking for bootanimations, LWPs and such that work on other phones and try'em out on mine if they work I keep'em and use'em to play around pushing and pulling in and out of various ROMs.

[Q] To root or not to root

I'm not new to rooting, but since I'm on my 3rd mt4g in under a month (first one had a broken power button, second had dust under the screen, third one good soo far) I have been wondering weither I should root and flash a new rom or not, or just leave it stock if I have to warranty it again. And yes I know I can return to stock, it just seems like a hassle to keep doing it at the rate I have been going through bad ones. Thoughts?

I'm using royalginger 1.4.1 and it is great. Smooth and great battery life plus wifi calling works. Atleast I'm pretty sure it does lol. But if your someone who wants a larger group of themes and help I may go with cm7 both are gingerbread just cm7 is older and more broadly tested and themed. It all depends on what you want, gingerbread or sense. Also we (teamroyal) have a honeycomb Rom but its a pre alpha, no phone app and pretty sluggish but its great if you want to just play around for awhile.
Hope that helps

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

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.

you could try the mytouch 4g slide, though it is a bit pricey. but check it out anyway.

The Virtuous Unity ROM do have signature option as stated by saranhai.
So no need to change the phone, just change the ROM.
Just go for VU 2.37

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.

Updated OTA to latest version but...

So I recently unrooted my phone to have Sprint connect it to their services. I updated to the newest software version 2.3.5 but, nothing changed as far as the sense goes. It's still the same old sense since like 2.2. And what I mean it doesn't have the theme changer or shortcuts in the drop down menu. Am I missing something?
I remember unrooting my old EVO to see what the OTA updates were like a while back and seeing the new features. But I remember having to install that update via Sync. Problems is I looked on HTC's website and all over googleville and couldn't find it anywhere. Can somebody please help me with this? And possibly refresh my memory on how to do it via Sync. Thanks in advance.

HTC never updated us to sense 2. Kinda sucks really...HTC even updated phones with less ram and slower processors (for example htc wildfire) but left us with the OG EVO on the old original Sense.
Kinda bullsh*t if you ask me but whatever at this point I get to upgrade in Novemeber, though I would still like to see sense 2 before then.
It wasn't the full sense 2 but it has some of the features like the new lock screen, the drop down menu shortcuts to WiFi networks and such. And the themes changer

Those features have never existed on the stock ROM for the EVO 4G. You must've been running a custom ROM.
Those features came on my evo. I rooted and went to aosp, but they are on my stock ROM

You had quick settings in the Notification pulldown and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen stock on your EVO? I don't think so . . .
I am running stock software and I can assure you it does not have quick settings and the unlock screen is the same as my old Hero had so there is no difference. You can download the app called quick setting which will give you the settings in the pull down menu but this is not from HTC.
Oh well maybe I was mistaken but those features are on the stock EVO shift. I don't think I can root since I hot Tue 2.3.5 update

Oh so what would I use to root it? Unrevoked 3 or Forever or another method. Because for some reason my computer can't perform ADB correctly so a manual root is out of the question. Is there a little bit of info for rooting from 2.3.5 somewhere I could reference?

You have to use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader on the 2.3.5 version, which allows you to get root. The only other exploit is TacoRoot, which allows you to downgrade to a version rootable with unrEVOked or Revolutionary (you can likewise downgrade after unlocking with HTCDev).
