Best thing about the nexus S is the screen time out animation & the 3D app drawer other than that macnutR14 is killing nexus s
vibrant rooted
macnutR14
super io kernel+OCLF
QS 2018
2.2 froyo
Okay?
And we already have drawer on launchers like adw launchrpro zemo or something
And direct Google support. Dungeon Defenders runs a little smoother on it than my Vibrant with the same specs. They are really similar though.

Once we get a ROM that has our galaxy s in mind ours can kick its ass.
We have the best processor a phone can have currently. But no rom to use its full potential.
The nexus one with its snapdragon, I think, its performing better than us because ginger bread is designed for snapdragon.

There's already several great roms in the dev section designed for Vibrants. Eugene's R14 final is the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom I ever had my Vibrant on and it's still running it. I never tried Nero but from the overwhelming amount of posts I assume it's also a great choice.
Also as someone pointed out we are talking about the S not the One, and Nexus One doesn't have gingerbread yet, only the S. Currently there are no snapdragon phones running an official gingerbread rom.

There are stable roms. I know that.
I run ginger clone, but NONE of them are using the processors full potential.
Notice how the nexus s runs better than us? Samsung DESIGNED that phone for ext4 and other stuff.
Yeah I'm sorry I was thinking about a, nexus one when I wrote that so I also said snapdragon.
I'm just saying when google made the phone they also MADE gingerbread for it.
We have a bunch of custom roms that come from a leaked rom.
their stable fast look good, but they aren't making our phones use the while processor, I'm not taking about overclocking.

The new voodoo kernels basically bring us up to speed with the nexus s, as far as ext4 is concerned. Have you even played with a Nexus S? I did out of the box and compared to a fresh Nero install with supercurios kernel, they are equally as fast from the few tests I ran.

Just a question since a friend of mine has an evo and bragging saying they'll have gb before us vibrant owners. Doesn't 2.3 require certain specs? Is the snapdragon capable of running it? This may be off topic but im just curious. I know the vibrant can run gb being that its so similar to the nexus s.

As google has promised GB to the Nexus One I would say yes. Gingerbread can very easily be run on Snapdragon processors. Google has not come out with any specific requirements. Froyo is running on G1 with the help of the CM team.

Expensive, high maintenance, and fewer features than the 1 next door.
Oh wait... You were talkin' about phones, huh? My bad.
I gave my vibrant to my gf and picked up a nexus s. From my experience the NS is significantly faster out of the box than my vibrant was running Nero 3 with voodoo. I've had the NS for 2 days now and the only gripe I have is the weak wifi issue. Would I recommend the NS to someone that already has a Vibrant? Short answer.....No. Wait for dual core.

No, we're getting Froyo ... beta has already leaked if you haven't noticed. Official version from Samsung / Sprint should be out sometime in the near future. Don't get your hopes up with Gingerbread because we won't see that on the Epics for quite a while.
Yep. Like I said in the froyo leak forum, any person phone-geeky enough to be hanging out in XDA will probably have a different phone by the time Gingerbread hits the Epic.
However someone did make a good point in that the Nexus S will have gingerbread and since that's a Galaxy S phone it will hopefully be easy to port over to the Epic.

That was me who said that, and I haven't yet seen anyone argue that it wouldn't be possible....
While the coming update is undoubtedly Froyo, I think it's only a matter of time before we'll have 2.3. Considering the new Nexus is the "Nexus S" from Samsung and looks to basically be another Galaxy S variant, I think ports will happen.
The Nexus S is not a CDMA phone so the port will take a bit or time, unless the 2.2 kernel works out of the box with 2.3.
It's possible but don't expect instant gratification.
Also shouldn't this be in general?

Honeycomb is going to be 3.0
Epic experience + Phoenix kernel + Emotionless beast = Great functionality, Exceptional battery life, and Sweet eye candy.
2.3 would have to be released to the devs at the handset manufacturers so they could customize it for their phones (load it with their crap bloatware, custom interface, etc.....). As we have seen, that takes time (2.2 has been out for a while now). If we were to see 2.3, it would probably be 6 months from now, about the time 2.4 or 3.0 (they should call it Poundcake.....good name, and good Van Halen song) is coming out.
I don't think our handsets will ever see 2.3 at this rate. It will be another year into the future before we see it, and by then our phones won't even be powerful enough to make phone calls.
Oh we will definitely see 2.3 on the epic even if it has to be unofficially brought to us ;-)

This is exactly why I am so excited about the Nexus S. In the same way that the Nexus One gave the Incredible, the Evo 4G and the other HTC devices amazing hacking potential, the Nexus S will make our Galaxy S phones way way better.
More developers will be working on this platform, and we will have all the google stuff working on hardware that is 99% the same. Really, the only thing different will be the CDMA/4G radios, but that is just minor stuff since that is the only difference between the Nexus One and the Evo. Also, the Epic Experience ROM is full of stuff taken off of other Galaxy S devices and it all works great.
Also, I'm going to say that this phone is not dual core. It might have a 1.2ghz hummingbird, but thats the only thing that might be different. It might also have some filesystem stuff that is different but we can hack around all of that. Hopefully it is using the same GPS chip though, because Google will then really light a fire under Samsung to make sure they fix it once and for all.

Hopeful as I am, I have yet to see any devs say that it will be easy to port NS roms to our Vibrants. They're using different file formats so that may pose a problem. I do hope I'm wrong.

getting a full working port is definitely not goin to be easy as stated by supercurio. some of the most important components for a full working port is closed sourced and the GPS chip n method is different.
If the hardwere is close enough that its a easy port but things like gps and bluetooth arent working i can live with that.

I don't know....but this tweet from Eugene made me wonder even before he posted pics. And, even before that he stated right after releasing the Super I/O kernel that he was gonna chill and wait for the Nexus S Rom dump....It looks to me as if he is working on it in some capacity
Now as for all of us in the xda-dev community, we all need to be patient, respectful and let him and his team work.....Don't harass the guy to put out a half-ass alpha rom. Because everyone will be complaining about what doesn't work...and I personally don't feel like combing through 100's of pages of the same complaints as it will only piss people off and stifle the development process.

Because by the time dual cores become actually useful to people who don't play with benchmark tests, you are going to need a new phone anyway.

This. If I could survive another year with my Evo I could do so easily with the Nexus S. Seems pretty tempting. Might not be the most epic of upgrades ... and no LED notifications / removable storage is pretty silly in all honesty, but its a step up in other manners.

I don't see why you need to be insulting people who want to get a Nexus S 4G. It seems like a good phone for someone who wants to have the latest android releases immediately available to them. My wife is probably getting the Nexus S 4G as an upgrade from her HTC Hero. The main reason is that she loves CM7 on her Hero and I can't guarantee her CM7 (or future CM releases) on any other phone for sprint. You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

Don't think the Nexus is without its problems, from what I've read the screen seems to be very susceptible to cracks thanks to the curved shape and there is a bug with the messaging app that sends to thewrong recipient.

That bug wasn't Nexus specific, it was common to android. One of the developers at Google made a blog post about it a while ago.
Yes, i see your point for CM7 on the Nexus...
Are you guys forgetting the Evo3D is right around the corner?
Along with its HUGE Dev community and CM7 pretty much already guaranteed for it....
Screw the GS2 b/c after overclocking the Evo3D i doubt ill need anymore speed...
Yes the 3D is a gimmick but the specs of the phone is so tempting.
GS2 will be out like 2-3 months after and i don't see them getting updated till next year by sammy because we all know how that goes....

I think he was referring to anyone who would be paying full price to go from our epics to its fraternal twin... now from a hero to a nexus, BRILLIANT! I would never be able to hang onto a phone that long though..

When I get a new phone....hopefully...soon, I'm not real sure what it will be. The Nexus just feels AWESOME in your hand but I'm used to the slide out keyboard. The GSII sounds awesome as well but we saw how the support was on the Samsung side plus TW makes development SO much more difficult.
The Nexus S 4G isn't really a step forward like the GSII or the EVO 3D will be. It would also be hard to leave the SAMOLED screen for Super LCD/TFT. Decisions...Decisions...
Been using a 3 years old Palm Pre and have been amazed at how it just works. The specs of the HP Pre 3 look to be pretty solid. I love how emails works correctly on the Pre. I hate the unreliability of email polling on Android in general.
O o plus the Nexus S 4G doesn't have an XDA section.....

I really love WebOS but when the hell are they going to come out with a newly designed phone model for God's sake? I understand some people still like it but I don't see why they can't have a little variety.

great cool teh evo 3d will have cm7. and when 2.4 comes out the nexus will be rocking that for a good while. and assuming that htc locked the bootloader like they did the thunderbolt then when it comes time for the evo3d to get it.. well it wont, not without an official 2.4 kernel and yes i mean that will include cm8

I think he meant the Evo 3D. Hes torn between choosing the SAMOLED Nexus S or the SLCD Evo 3D (which in reality is a qHD screen).
Hey,
I have a samsung epic right now, and I'm interested in buying this evo someone offered to me. I would only be interested, however, if this phone was able to be rooted. How can I check if it is possible or not?

If its running android 2.3.3 and when you load into the bootloader it says "s-on" next to the radio version then its not rootable yet.
Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Also, if it wasnt able to be rooted, I read on the news that HTC was going to release a universal unlocker for the newer phones, will they also release one for the EVO?

The general consensus is that they will not be unlocking older phones so as to encourage consumers to buy the newer ones.
EDIT: There is always of course the possibility that an independent developer will find an exploit and give us the ability to gain root access to our phones. Some devs are known to be working on this now. There's no guarantee of course, but there is hope for those of us who were feeling hopeless.
OK, so the phone has android 2.2, so I automatically assume it can be rooted. Now, can someone recommend me a good rom? I know about cm7 and miui, but what do the devs here have to offer?

I really liked Deck's ROM; lightweight, few issues; great battery life when combined with Tiamat 3.3.7. It's basically CM7 with a lot of the extra clutter (language packs, etc) removed. It looks and acts almost exactly like Android on the Nexus S.
That was my daily driver. I also really liked playing with Synergy; it's feature-packed and has a lot of bells and whistles, and is a fun toy. I didn't like it for daily use, though. I am really into the KISS philosophy when it comes to my smartphone.
And what about kernels? Is there a good choice of kernels to sift through, or for the most part do the roms already come with the best kernel for the job..?

Do alot of reading in the development thread. There is plenty to learn about.

Alright, I'm doing some thinking on whether to do this or not.. .Should I trade my epic 4g for an evo or not?

Well that's a question that is dependent on a few things:
Do you prefer physical or virtual keyboards?
Is the loss of a nicer screen worth a bigger screen?
The Epic could be a great phone if it had the developer support that the Evo had/has.
They don't even have an AOSP ROM.
YES, trade, then load synergy rls1, then freedom kernel, for root use unrevoked,

Yeah, I could get by without a keyboard, but i'm just iffy

My personal opinion is that developer support is what makes the phone.
The Epic has a better core for performance and for battery.
If I recall correctly the GPU is better too.
The screen is nicer.
The keyboard sucks [because I hate physical keyboards]
But the developer support, comparative to the Evo, is nil.
Now, there have been signs of an increase in support but with the SGS2 coming it's hard to say how much will come to the Epic itself.
I actually just came from an epic to the evo since mine was stolen (which really sucked I loved that phone) but with the evo I've never looked back. I really liked the physical keyboard since I'm not a fan of soft keyboards but swype and mods alongside a much larger screen make up for it. Speaking of the screen, its no super amoled but its definitely one of the nicest I've used and and the phone overall is just beautiful. Battery is about the same for both in my experience. But like others have said the evo has MUCH better developer support. I remember I was using frozen syndicate Rom 1.2 before my epic was stolen ( back in end of may/ beginning of June) and they still didn't update I believe. Plus Samsung still hasn't released gingerbread for it and its being discontinued October I think. So all in all you should trade for the evo, definitely much better software support especially for a phone reaching its EOL, not to mention hardware (i.e. cases) Plus sense is just great

Ive had both phones, I had the epic then i traded it for my evo<3 which i love so much. I dont regret trading it at all. Personally, i like the evo more it is greater over all
