SGS II Motion Features

I wish the vibrant would have cool features like the new SGS II is going to have.

(New member so I can't post links just yet)
Do you think the devs will be able to bring some of these features to the vibrant/I9000?

Looks like its using the accelerometer. It could happen if we have a touchwiz 4 port.

I hope my aging vibrant gets all the new whiz bang features of every new phone that comes out so I'll never need to replace it too! LOL. Thanks for the laugh. Trust in the power of the XDA community and a lot becomes possible.

Hey, that's what I'm here for!
That and to continue my flashing addiction.

Yea it sure would be nice to skip the cell phone store and just come here to update my "outdated" phone.
Luckily we all bought a phone that has some incredible, lasting hardware.
Should carry me through at least another year.

thats really cool!
Thats touchwiz 4?
Don't we already have that?

I think that is the gyro, and from what i have seen online, vibrant also has it, and it should be enabled when we get gingerbread.
and when this phone comes to tmo, and i team it up with my samsung series 9/macbook air... I WILL RULE THE WORLD <evil laugh here>

Checkout EDT's website in their early releases in the donator's section.

Yeah, only thing is I hear the audio hardware isn't as good...which sucks

Sense 3.0

Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?

Oh... boy... here we go.. i admire you for having the balls to ask about Sense UI in Samsung thread. Hehe. Short answer is NO!!!

You never know.. The original SGS has turned out a terrific developers phone so if the SGS2 has unlocked bootloaders i cant see why not
If htc sense is that important though just wait from the sensation

I'd love to have it, with the recent reports showing the horsepower that it have coupled with Sense 3.0 that would be the perfect phone to have

If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

I see you have a Motorola Atrix 4G. What do you think about it? I'm in doubt between Atrix, S II and Sensation.
Thank you!

Ugh, how can people even like Sense. It is the worst android UI out of all the custom ones out there.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.

Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Couldn't have put it better, dude. trouble is, can we have the best of both worlds?
Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk

I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)

SGS2 coming to Sprint first September 9??

Ugh, I really want this phone or the Prime but I am getting fed up with Sprint's service in my area.

I am really intrigued by the sg2. However, I'm scared about the lack of software updates. Isn't the Epic still on Froyo or did they finally update?

Gingerbread has had about 8 leaks for the Epic.
But it's still not official.
I'm not worried about updates if AOSP is going to support it.

I hear you, but the developers will most likely be a key factor. Aosp runs great, but is too bland foyer my taste...even with a third party launcher.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I think given the rumors of a 4.5 inch screen and 720p resolution, I'd rather wait for news of the Nexus Prime.
If for some reason it doesn't come out on Sprint right away, the SG2 would also be a worthy upgrade.

Hopefully your right but seeing the support the epic gets in comparison to the other galaxy s phones I would wait and see myself. The one thing I hated about my epic was touchwiz and there aren't any alternative roms that have it taken out. But I do have to say the gsll looks pretty awesome.

Srf 1.2 is a Froyo rom with the option of no touchwiz. The best rom on epic IMO.

Yes totally. The word goes out to NB. He is the man. In termed if my next phone. Well I can say that even though galaxy s is almost 2 years old it still has good support from xda because of the awesome hardware. So next phone will have to have hardware just as good or it won't get much support.

They mean Samsung Touchwiz ICS.
They bloat and put a hell more features and the package is about twice what AOSP ROM is.
Look at CM7 size and compare to Froyo Stock.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I don't mean the ROM. I meant some of the features from the new touchwiz. Like the one where the screen won't turn off if you are looking at it.

I have a Note and almost all those have been ported/pulled. Take a trip to the i717 forums and see if the pulled .APKs work.

The galaxy s1 had Ports that were crazy coming from the vibrant I know with experience. I guess its difficult with so few devs or I don't know. The vibrant was truly a sublime experience. Too bad that carrier phones don't get good specs or source codes or updates for that matter or this phone would be as fun as the nexus or the international s2. But hey we get burned by the American market every time. If we could get universal technology it would be a bigger market all together.
