Froyo?? Not so fast!

GalaxySSupport twitter page said the following when I asked them for android 2.2 info for fascninate.
"The Fascinate will get 2.2 by the end of the year. We will keep you informed on Twitter as we get more details! ^Mary"[email protected]
If were gonna wait that long they might as well just bump us to ginger..

"End of the year" who in the hell would want to buy this device, for a x-mas present for instance , with the uncertainty? Not a reel smart marketing move on Samsung's part.

lol I like how ppl think complaining is going to help, 2.1 isn't the best agreed but it's so much better running on the fascinate than my eris was. we are going to get it just suck it up and enjoy the phone.

I will not keep this phone much.longer without froyo. I hate to say it but the lack of support is.t a good sign. Most people in here likely bought this phone for the same reason i did and that's hardware, but that can only keep me on ship for so long.

I couldn't agree more. I am on my second phone and this one isn't much better. I should have kept my droid.....

lol, does anybody remember the wait for froyo on the droid. It was forever »+ empty promises. This isn't so bad yet.

Agreed, it's this way with MOST devices no matter the platform. Can ya'll imagine how uncluttered these forums would be if people quit complaining bout the same thing over and over again?? Just saying...

The thing you guys seem to be forgetting, there's only seven weeks left in the year, so it's not really a long time.

Very true spot mark. Just a little dissapointed and after reading all the i9000 threads the only upside I see to froyo is that Jt, angel, and adrynalyne can get ahold of this ***** and make it worthwhile

My Verizon store story.

I thought I would share this with you all. It's kinda lulzfull that people know who we are.
I am currently with T-Mobile, but am more than likely going to switch to Verizon when they become AT&T-Mobile late on this year as I hate everything that is ATT and refuse to give them my money. So anyways here's the story. Note that I am ME and the Verizon guy is VZW, and that it's kinda emelished for the lolz, but this conversation did genuinely happen.
Me-Oh hai, I'ma lookin at switching from T-Mobile to you guys and would like to ask about a Thunderbolt and see what kind of packages you all offer.
VZW-KK coolio. The T-bolt is awesome, but kinda expensive...might I reccomend the !FASCINATE!?
Me-TROLOLOL it doesn't haz froyoz!
VZW-BUT IT'S COMING! I SWEAR.
Me-....-.-....bro, I am a moderator at XDA developers...I know stuff.
Then the entire conversation changed.
VZW-...wow really? I visit XDA all the time! I used to have a Fascinate but I got tired of waiting for OTA Froyo so I went with the Thunderbolt as soon as it came out. I still have my Fascinate though and I use the newest Superclean ROM. What board do you moderate?
Me-....the HTC Rose...and the Fascinate.
VZW-Really?
Me-Yeah...names ashasaur.
VZW-DUDE. I KNOW YOU. MY NAME IS-(deleted cause he doesn't want me to put it here). I like what you did with the trolling.
Me-Yeah that stuff is kinda outta control but I am working on it.
VZW-Yeah that times_infinity dude really trolled everyone bad, I thought you where gonna ban him.
Me-Naaaahh. We are all cool.
VZW-So yeah, the Fascinate SHOULD be getting Froyo within 2 months...but again, we have hearing that for the last year almost.
Me-That's why I want to go with the Thunderbolt, because of good updates and solid HTC hardware.
VZW-Well I have to say that I admire all the devs at XDA, and that I love the custom ROMs for the Fascinate. I have used basically every version of SC that has come out and love it to death.
Me-Yeah I hear that SC is a pretty boss ROM.
*20 minutes of going on about plans and stuff*
Me-I do believe I am going to switch here in about a month.
VZW-Awesome, we look forward to having you.
Me-Word.
Anyways, this HONEST TO GOD took place. I was geeking out the entire time over the fact that someone out there knows who we are. Anyways, that's my story. Thoughts?

That's cool as heck! I've been a xda fan since my moto q

Too cool. I can imagine everyone else in the near vicinity just stopping and shocked at what they could be hearing. Not all Verizon reps are as 'unenlightened' as we might have believed to be the case many times

Great story! This XDA community (and related AC, etc.) is certainly a subculture to itself...

It's funny about that Froyo stuff given that it was really just two days away. I'd wait for Droid Charge if anything. The T-bolt sucks battery on 4G and apparently it's a hardware issue with the chips inside it not playing nice with each other.

A lot of people just wanna know what went down. What's happened happened so what difference would it make.
cd's or tapes?

I think he's a cool dude, agreed with the other poster that he's the "least understood". He'll be back He's said he was going to leave before and stuck around. He'll be here.

isn't this his 3rd or 4th time?

I for one, will miss him. He helped me tremendously with my theming. I hope he makes his return when everything settles down

Well all this is going to definitely change things....
k0nane... Out? Gone for good? We don't know.. Only time will tell...
Mystery... Same as above...
Dreamsforgotten, last I talked to k0nane personally on the night of the ACS/INC start he told me Dreams was knee deep in smali code (theming) for the Nexus 4g..
So we definitely have a lot of important pieces missing to the big Epic 4g puzzle... I sure hope one day they all come back so we can finish this picture.
We still have some great themers and developers, plus many new in the last month or so up and comers that have made a great impact on the scene so we are going to all have to pull together and do the best with who/what we have. Everything will be fine.
Now more than ever everyone needs to work together, hand in hand and share to make future GB and the last of EC05 development the best it can be for the Epic 4g.

Thread cleaned. No flaming please. Thank you.

Cyanogenmod 7

Where can I find updates? The cm7 thread was locked, and the closest I could find was a how-to for building it from souce. But it says that compiling now will brick the phone.

There aren't any updates. When there are there will be a new thread.

You probably won't see anything major until official Gingerbread drops sometime this or next month.
Having like-source makes the whole porting process easier.

Ya, that's what they said about Froyo and CM6. Fact is, is that we aren't gonna see CM7 most likely. We have good dev's, but I think they have moved to another phone.

Okay, if you say so. Not like I don't want CM7 also, but the thread got locked, there aren't any updates anymore made public and you are pipe dreaming if you think the source code is going to be that big miracle to push CM7 to our phones. It will come eventually, but I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon. Most of us will have moved on by the time it releases and makes this phone what it should have been since last year.

That made me smile, Dec.
And yes -- I think the Epic has a long life ahead of it. It's a great device and one of the last phones to really have everything and be free of a bootloader (aside from HTC's stuff). The dev's are doing a great job rebuilding an entire layer of software to get this phone supported -- basically like being a very clever caveman trying to build a car. Totally can't wait until we get a release! Thanks for all your hard work, devs!

As soon as work settles down (soon), I'll hop on the dev bandwagon.
No matter what, CM7 will be out.
I plan on having this phone for 2 years. No way I'm spending $400 on a new phone.

If you read any of the posts in the thread you'd realize that about 90% of them were useless 'spam' that didn't need to be there. Hence, why it was closed.
Trying to find the wrong line of code that's messing it all up like like finding a needle in a hay stack that's a mile across...especially without the source code to compare it to.

Fo sho. I haven't ben on the touch pro 2 for 9 months, and when I strolll by their forum, I don't even recognize the names of new roms and the devs and posters. This phone may have two or three waves of owners. The early adopters, then the late adopters, then the second hand era in another year or so on ours.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That's great news decadence thank you. Also this phone is awesome especially with a fully functional cm7. I still haven't really seen a phone that compares with this epic yet. I might even have this for 2 years from now. Dual cores will prolly be more buggy at first and they won't really be optimized for android or apps for atleast another year or so. So I'm good with this phone.

Farewell Jamie G

I just wanted to make this thread to say good bye to one of the most amazing devs to come to the evo forums, keeping our 3 yr old evo alive and living still gingerbread like its running a brand new phone, he was banned today and wont be able to continue developing, hopefully hes strength in this forum will carry on, good bye jamie g

in fact he could only have meant that post since that's the only post jamie has made on xda since the flurry of posting activity that irritated the xda people in the first place.
hardly what i would call posting "regularly", especially since he explicitly says it's his last post ever on xda unless some site administrators explain their response.
i don't really have a dog in that fight. i just liked the way reloaded runs on my phone and appreciate jamie's dedication in making that happen. if more ROMs come, i'll flash them. if i have to find them on twitter, i'll find them. for now i wish him well, even if i expect he isn't going away for long.

It looks more like the decision was Jamie's to leave XDA, not the mods. It has happened several times before where the Dev's asked the Mods to close their threads because of the drama that goes on in them. If he were banned, his account would be frozen and his threads would all be closed.
