Cant wait to get rid of this phone - G2 and Desire Z General

Well i love the hardware this phone came with, and I didn't think I was going to at first. But to be honest, the lack of custom sense roms is driving me away from this phone, virtuous has too many bugs, and even vanilla android roms are in short supply. The G1 had more things to try, and for obvious reasons, yet if there is no more support for the G2 in the near future to compare to the G1 I'll be getting rid of this thing asap.

Aww man that's sad to hear. I hear you though.
I am using the VillainROM Sense+Rosie. I also tried Virtuous and CM7 (I know not Sense, but the latest/greatest). I love the ROM I have. If you have not tried it, I recommend it. There is almost no support for it, the thread for it is all but dead. But I have had no problems.

same here
yeah i dont like that theres no actually fully working sense rom/s i got this as an upgrade and i like it but i use my vibrant more just because the vibrant has so much dev support and here on the g2 forums theres hardly any updates, where over at the vib forums theres updates every if not every other day. im thinking of trading the g2 for a mytouch 4g

Check the dev section rmk40 just posted a new orange sense 1.85 rom.

Sense roms
Huh? The sense roms for the G2/Desire Z are pretty good. The best sense roms i have tried are from Virtuous and VillianRoms.

That's too bad.. The G2 ROCKS!

Give a go for VillainROMZ. I would use it my self, if there was no such a beautiful thing as CyanogenMod ;-)

Damn. People. Give some credit to the devs. The G2 came with special protection which made it hard to root. Now that we finally achieved permaroot the roms should start flowing in the next few weeks.

God only knows how much time/effort/money HTC put into locking down this device and ensuring that it wouldn't be rooted and hacked away by the development community.
Despite all of that, we have root, S-OFF AND very good developer support behind one of the best Android devices on the market.
If you want more developer support, maybe go for a Motorola Droid, or maybe a Motorola Cliq. Those devices have GREAT developer support behind them... =P

Stop cryin people. Go try meXdroid ExtraHotSauce. Time to manup
G2 with ExtraHotSauce v0.2!!

People actually like Sense?

Yhats whut i'm sayin. Sense seems so kindergartenish
G2 with ExtraHotSauce v0.2!!

This has to be the most ungrateful, childish, whining thread that has been made in XDA history. Your the exact reason why DEV's STOP DEVELOPING. Shame.

Why purchase a vanilla based device if you want sense? That makes no sense. *drumroll*

The phone is only 12 days old guys. Have some patience.
I'm sure someone in the CM team will get their hands on a MT4G soon. If not, then I'm sure another capable dev will figure out how to port CM6 over to our phone.
Honestly, I'd be down to donate $5 to the CM team along with the OP. We'd just have to hope 88 other MT4G owners will do the same.
http://twitpic.com/35seph
CM6 for the MT4G is already built and bugs are being worked out. (Wifi, Camera, & BT)
Once those things are fixed we should be seeing a RC.
CM is working on a rom...the wiki page has a link for the glacier, there is just nothing on it yet...give him time...
You would be a fool to go back to the wobbly hinge G2 just because they have a ROM. This is a much superior device and they will come. Just be patient.
Some of you guys are being stupidly impatient. You can't expect a bunch of ROM's for a phone that achieved a permanent root just a few days ago.
Development is going fairly quickly anyway. Kmobs of CM already has a working build for the MT4G. That's pretty damn good and since in many ways the G2 is similar to the MT4G, things should go even faster.
Look at the G2 development forum, they've already got the G2 ROM ported to the MT4G. Another example would be VISIONary. It worked for the MT4G before it was even meant to.
Either way, MT4G users have no room to complain. The phone I came from, the Vibrant. It still doesn't have CM or a stock Android 2.2. Even the ROM's it has now took at least a month to perfect.

I hope I feel the same about my MyTouch when it gets here Wed (if UPS doesn't reschedule, like they always do). Right now, the Android that all other phones are compared to is the Evo (I have one). But in my town, which has 3 sprint towers... 2 of them have been down for 4 months and I finally gave up and switched to TMO. I hate giving up my Evo (rooted, custom ROm, custom Kernel)... there is so much support for it from software to accessories (I have the 3500 mah battery from Seidio). I'm going to miss all the goodies for the Evo while waiting for all the support to catch up to the MT4G (which it might and might not... we never know how much an individual phone will be supported). I am so surprised how the G2 got supported. Sliding keyboard phones don't usually get that much support because they are so flimsy. Let's hope this MT4G has as much appeal to the developers as it did to us! If I don't like it, I'll have the option of going to ATT sometime in Dec when they finish switching over from Alltel.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it's Cyanogen's new phone, therefore it gets massive CM lovin'. kmobs has the Glacier though, it won't be left out in the cold.
Oh shi-accidental pun.
Wow, these phones didn't come out the same day ppl.

This is key, We need to show the developers some love here $$$$, Devs will work on devices that produce the highest returns=$$$$, There are so many EVO owners that producing a quality rom will have excellent returns=$$$$, The upside is with the hardware of our devices CM has the potential of creating thier greatest Rom to date.

Two-three months ago there was CM6,MIUI,CM7 and more original roms in the works,what happened?
Yeah i know that for CM7 they are waiting for official GB to drop but what about CM6 that was 90 percent finished and MIUI that was almost finished?
I know that we still got roms but most of them with exception of ACS and few others are mostly remixes and tweaks of stock rom.
Our Epic is way behind Vibrant,Fascinate and Captivate.
It's just you. Don't knock what the amazing developers have done for us. We have plenty of roms and we will have plenty once gingerbread drops.
I agree. Feel free to learn how to dev, though. You won't sound like a detractor from the forum.

i got more thanks tomorrow.
This is my first experience with custom ROMs and I for one am very content with the amount of development for the Epic. I have looked at other forums and yes there may be a larger following, or more talk about development, but a lot of it seems to be garbage. I have flashed and used a few different ROMs now and they are all solid with few if any bugs. SRF is what I am running now and I have not found a single functionality issue. I also love that the Epic devs continue to improve their product instead of releasing some piece of crap ROM and never touching it again. Also the relatively smaller quantity of development makes things like qbking's videos possible and help all of us learn to better utilize the phones potential.
I say cheers to the devs for what they do and the time they put in! I could never accomplish even a portion of what they do. Thanks guys!

Quality over quantity anyday our devs cook up some amazing stuff for us.
Sent from my SPH-D700
I love this phone. That is all.
Sent from Godot's place.
we have several quality ROMs and Themes to choose from
It should come as no surprise really. There are 3 main reasons why it may seem development is slow:
Small community. Meaning that our sample set in which developers are drawn is smaller. Thankfully, this phone was top notch in hardware when it came out, so it increased our chances of having very talented developers since it naturally drew people who seriously appreciated hardware. Hence, why we have a small number of developers but they're all very very good at what they do. It could have ended up with a small number AND not a lot of quality.
Touchwiz. What I mean by this is that we're still waiting on a fully functional AOSP based rom, with CM7 being the closest to completion. Without it, all there is to develop on is touchwiz, and we've pretty much exhausted what we can do with it (so far). Once there's one ROM on AOSP, that allows for more ROMs to be developed on AOSP. Plus, the completion of CM7 could very well attract developers who prefer to develop on AOSP to try a couple projects, and have simply been waiting for CM to be completed. This all ties in with reason number 3.
Froyo. Like touchwiz, we've pretty much done all we can do with it. With the release of gingerbread, it'll open up a whole new opportunity to develop. Remember, we went through the same thing towards the end of eclair's life. Not a whole lot of development, and everyone really just waiting for froyo. The difference was, however, that everyone was itching SO BAD for froyo that a lot of projects were done on DK28; we were truly behind the times then, and so even the developers were willing to play with a leak. Not so much now; we're not AS behind the curve considering there are still few phones (besides newly released ones) on gingerbread. This, too, is much like the anticipation of an AOSP precedent as mentioned previously: it's quite possible that there are potential developers who are simply waiting for gingerbread to be released before coming to this phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't know, but the easiest explanations are:
More developers? Better chance to figure out the kernel drivers on their own.
It's made by HTC? It's pretty much a known that samsungs kernel drivers are always wacky, and in general, what one phone has doesn't neccessarily help with another. With HTC, their kernel drivers are a little more consistent across phones and it's easier to make things work by borrowing and tweaking.
Linux loaded modules? Don't know if it's relevant, but it's possible to use these to overclock a phone in a round-about way.
There's something that really needs to be laid to rest here regarding the arguement that everybody gives saying "we didn't get cm6 when froyo source was released, so how are we gonna get cm7 just because of gingerbread source?" Two reasons:
One: we only had one dev working on it, noobnl. Now we have a TEAM. And each on is just as if not more talented than him.
Two: we didn't have another device to kang any AOSP driver source from. With cm7, our team borrowed what they could from the nexus s 4g. And rest assured, they DID get a little use out of it.

then by the same logic, since the i9000 has gb, we should too? the only difference in the mytouch4g and most other htc phones is a keyboard and 4g. sound familiar?

This is probably one of the better communitys of developers and users on XDA. although we do have little fallouts from time to time (were human right? )

Im sure you'll be seeing me around the Theme & Apps Section.

Oh yea forgot to ask...
Why didnt you just get a better, newer phone instead of the shift? lol jk.
This is a beast of a phone
Welcome aboard man, you will see that the Shift should keep you more than happy when it comes to a phone, great camera pretty amazing performance and some of the best AOSP and Sense ROMS I have ran, I had an EVO and got rid of it when I broke it and ended up with a Hero then the Shift and I'm perfectly happy now that we have source for overclock and everything, I don't think I'll be "upgrading" anytime soon.

I'd say a few weeks for unstable ports, then a month or two for CM9 nightlies and eventually a stable build.

Yes, because the Vision has its own set of drivers that need to be cooked into the ROM for all the hardware to work.

Why would they put 2.3 on the hero and g1. Simple answer. Because they can. Quit being a douche. If you can't be constructive then throw your keyboard/phone/tablet in the trash.

Edit: Also remember that CM7 was on these phones pretty quick. The devs in our community know these phones. Plus the experience of doing it once might just make it a little easier to do it again. I remember from the Eris forums the devs saying it was easier to get 2.3 since they already battled through 2.2.
I'm also willing to bet you will see ICS for the g1 and hero also. Once again, just to say they did it!

Yeah....no.
That is why the dev community is so cherished on Android, they keep old phones up to date. If they only worked on new phones, which will see these updates officially anyway, what's the freaking point? The G2 is a phone the devs (including Cyanogen himself) really like. So spend a little bit getting informed next time.

Can you tell me what phone out there with a keyboard is as nice as the Desire Z? I seriously don't know of any. The Captivate Glide looks like it's a contender but it has a grid keyboard, doesn't look like it'll have a notification LED, camera button, or the trackpad.

Trading my evo for a Sensation

Yes my fellow supersonic users, it has been a fun couples of months to have this phone. Though it has its flaws it has been good to me. However, I am switching to simplemobile because their plans cannot be beat. I will be on the sensation forums from now on. Good luck with CM9, ICS, and Sense 4.0.
Goodbye,

I have NEVER understood these threads! NO disrespect to you dude BUT if you're not a developer or a themer or just someone that has contribute something to the community.....DO you REALLY think, honestly that ANYONE cares?
I hate to sound like I'm bashing you or trolling BUT I'm getting tired of these threads......AND you could say that I don't have to read them BUT they make it hard to find things and even help out when there's 100 "I'm leaving" threads for people that NOBODY gives a rat's ass about.....When Kushdeck left XDA, did he make a thread??...hahahahah...NO, he just left! PEOPLE STOP IT with the "I'm leaving" and just LEAVE!!
Alright, enough about my rant....GOOD LUCK in sensation land, I was thinking of making the jump BUT decided to stick it out for something better!
Hahahaha.
Mazda, I was thinking same thing. I saw a 'bye' thread and clicked on it, only to find that in my 2yrs of Evo ownership and flashing,....I'd never even seen the authors name once,...ever.
Sorry OP. No bash or anything, but I seriously don't understand users who are not developers or something making a tread like this. Hell, even developers don't do it.

Well, I never said I was a dev or anything. I actually stated that I only had the phone for a couple of months. You have not seen me post much obviously because I have a low post count and I'm a lurker. However, I always give feedback to the devs for the ROMs I use and I answer questions in the Q&A threads whenever possible.
I knew that no one would miss me, and I really don't care. I just wanted to say thanks to the community for making having this phone an awesome experience.
I was hoping I get a reply from a user or users also switching to a sensation or perhaps I warning not to switch because maybe sensations are actually "POS".
So, once again. I give a genuine farewell to OG Evo owners. I sincerely hope that CM9, Sense 4.0, and stable ICS are in your near future.

We have stable ics ever since aokp was updated to 4.0.4 everything works including HwA have fun with the sensation which is notorious for getting dust between the LCD and digitizer

Haha, not just yet. I won't be getting it until maybe tomorrow. You can't rush these things ya know. Besides, I'm a flashaholic. I've flashed 3 ROM's in the last 6 hours (I'm really picky). So, I'm not leaving quite yet. It's more like putting in 2 weeks notice, except it was more like 2 days.

That's awesome. aokp is one of my fave ROMS but I haven't used it since build 28. I'll be flashing that Immediately. Also, thanks for the info. I would never have known that it I wouldn't have posted this thread.
Wow, why so much hate for an innocent post?
Flowsick, good luck with your new phone! I'm also an OG Evo owner, your post made me lookup the Sensation just because I haven't kept up with new phone releases (really happy with my Evo) and I was surprised that the Sensation has a much better dev section and more roms than the Amaze 4G. It even seems to have a Sense 4 rom!

Right! But its all love over here. That's the main reason I'm switching, because of the qualities that make the sensation a great dev phone and for 10 more bucks than I'm paying now I can have 4G.
