Any blogs to read?

Does anyone know of any cool blogs to read, about phones? Something like Engadget Mobile, but without all the low-end phones. I only want to read about high-end phones, mostly HTC phones with android (and Android apps). Thanks.

Www.androidandme.com
Www.phandroid.com
Www.androidcommunity.com
I've got several more too but I think AndroidAndMe is my favorite.
I've got FeedR installed on my phone and I just set em all up on news feeds wherever I go.

Well it's official, The Hero is now a Legacy Device

We have finally been relegated....
sad, but still neat to know that there is still awesome active development going on.

Been wondering when this was going to happen. Thought it would have happened long ago imho.

Ouch... I think the Legend is next then...

And to think, the G1 still has its own forum =o

problem is that I can't find our forum on the XDA app any longer. Anyone know how to find it?

Cool.. now its just a few more mouse clicks to get to this forum. Development will never stop!

Very sad...how can a device 1) less than 2 years old, and 2) Sprint's still selling, be considered a legacy device?
Gotta be honest....felling a bit betrayed. I love my Hero, but it looks like everyone's just leaving it behind (I get it, the technology's moving forward fast, but still...).
Oh well, I suppose I'll try out GB then wait for December when I can upgrade...
Much love Hero owners (echos in the hall getting emptier)

Thanks to Aosp we were pretty much in the first elite few on Android 2.3.2 Oh the irony I've got a long ways to go before I upgrade, I'm loving this phone too much.

not only are they still selling it, but they're still selling it at nearly the same cost as when it launched. with my upgrade discount, i could get a shift or a hero for the same price right now.

How do you get to hero forums on xda app now? I have them favorited, but I looked for a friend, and can't figure it out...

I have spent like an hour trying to find this forum in the xda app. I have tried looking for it by name and category with no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still no forum. There is no legacy devices or hero cdma.

Just favorite the forum in a browser, open the XDA app, there ya go.

Wow, my Hero doesn't feel that old...thanks to xda!

Well, this is pure crap...why does the G1 still get a dedicated forum in the non-legacy section?
That's bull****...yeah I know our phone is old, but the oldest Android phone isn't even on here....
WHAT
THE
HELL???
Also, can't find us on the xda app anymore, guess I'll have to un-install...

Yeah, you would think they would put a section that will lead to our new location in the XDA app. I almost spend an hour looking through the app until I found the announcement in the Hero G1 section.
*sigh* A ''Legacy Template'' section on the app would be nice. Now off to the browser so I can favorite our forum.

I would love to know how to "favorite" a forum from a browser and it show up in the app for me. The only "sync" that occurs between my app and a browser is with topic subscriptions, but never with forum subscriptions.

Here is the admin that posted the announcement:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2235607
Send him a PM. Be nice, remind him that not only is Sprint still selling the hero, they sell it for MORE than the evo shift.
Unless our forums just don't get as much traffic as the G1, or other old phones... I don't get it.

Its sad considering the Hero and the Droid Eris still have their own dedicated forum and even four older devices still have their own forum.

The Nexus S I saw at Best Buy was running 2.3.1, my Eris runs 2.3.2.

OMFGB Rom

Im running the OMFGB Rom that I downloaded through
Rom manager, but I don't know what the real name of the
Rom is and can't find a thread on it in the forums.
Can anyone point me to the roms original thread so I can
Keep up with it. I really like the rom..

OMFGB is the name of the ROM.
It was removed from this site because of issues with the developer doing naughty things (I don't know very many details on it).
In other words, I don't think you'll find much support on it- but worth a try I suppose.

you can find more info for it on the developers new site, google R2doesInc if you want to find it.

Everything those devs do is on this site:

I love OMFGB, but I've recently switched to CM7. You jut can't beat the battery life on it.

I'm neural in the whole episode. Just pointing out that when you post like this you actually make the whole dramatic incident more intriguing to those that are unaware (like me)
a simple cliffs would be much more helpful

He released his rom with wares in it... and was banned shortly after.
Devs you think are perfectly fine will do something that displeases the general public here and will disappear shortly after. From then on all you'll hear are cryptic comments about said dev, which as you said, only piques curiosity.
Not too much unlike a mob movie.
I think the whole things kinda silly. I used to like one developer named IncredibleDoes but one day he vanished and all I've read is how "taboo" and unforgivable his actions were. I actually have no idea what happened to him.
This is a place where users become attached to devs. We like their creations, heck some even donate. Still people will disregard this completely in saying "oh no not this again" when someone is genuinely curious.
Also, I think Smokeey was being sarcastic, ridiculing the very thing I am criticizing here.

He also took myns Rom from the evo, from a beta port by incubus I was told and themed it over to call it his own
At first he gave credit but then he slowly deleted it in his posts, oh and this is where the warez was from too
He did then what he's doing now, finding fixes from other peoples roms and puts them in his Rom
Flame me all u want, I don't trust him or jdk, or even incdoes after what he did

I'm not flaming anybody. In fact that sounds like a terrible thing to do and he probably deserves the animosity displayed here. I'm just saying this community cultivates an environment where people will invest emotionally in a developer. So people shouldn't lash out when someone's curious as to why a once respected person has suddenly disappeared. It would help to have a sticky or something regarding developer "departures".

props.
good analogy.
except for BlackDroid, he's the dev that just won't disappear. Not too much unlike the Loch Ness Monster

xda should ****list his site as spam. Stupid little teenagers using numbers as letters thinking its cool.

It means he put others work into his and said it was his and he also put paid market items into his rom.

I just find it so funny that the people that defend him the most all ended up as moderators on his site. I'm honestly tired of the advertising.

Yes its known, but there are fixes for both in the way of mods and apps. Search around a little. Welcome to CM9.
And you guy need to chill a little, lol. Not the end of the world. ;0).

By now you know that it is known. It has been answered many times as well. Facebook is facebook issue and grab another dialer from the market that has speed dials or put speed dial shortcuts on your home page or add the numbers to Favorites. You also posted the same question just about everywhere. Please read through the threads a little and you will find your answers. If not then you can ask in the CM9 or either of the 2 Q&A or tip sharing threads in General and Q&A. Thanks.

thanks for the tips. i am new to flashing these roms, so i will have to look up a dialer. Any suggestions??? as for B16flybye, maybe when you get a personality, and get friends, you too will need a speed dialer!

false.. if the point was that the i phone i perfection that's extremely bs, n if thinking the i phone is a true nerd that's further bs...
the cryphone has many flaws especially software (which is the point of the thread) and a true nerd would never say get one..
