Calling any DEVs...

First thing...dont rape me for posting this here.
As a Vibrant owner for a while now and a loyal follower of all you superior devs here (following Eugene back since we both owned a Behold II), I now have a Dell Streak 7. I got it cause I am about to deploy and I can use it over wifi to video chat with the wife back home. Well.....
There are zero devs over in the Streak 7 forums. It is a badass device with a dual core processor, but it is running 2.2 and it doesnt support itand is clocked at 800. I have mine rooted and clocked at 1000 with the new update of SetCPU. There is no recovery that I can find and CWM does not support it yet. There are zero roms, and I am savvy, but a novice at dev'ing to say the least, not to mention that in the Army about to deploy for a year, I have no time. They are however collecting a bounty together to buy a free Dell Streak 7 for a dev that is willing to work with it. If you could help us Streak owners out, just shoot me a PM on here. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for all you hard and greatly unappreciated work with the Vibrant!

I'm assuming that he's assuming that he could get more dev's attentions here.

i aint mad at him becuz barely anyone looks in general

I don't know how hiring developers will work out, seeing that if the developers don't like/own the device, it will really become a JOB to them(beside their real jobs) as compared to a hobby. And things COULD get messy when money and expectations are involved. (You know, how much are you gonna pay a developer to justify his/her time spent on working it and how great the ROM has to be for you guys to feel that your money is well-spent?)
Anyway, it's better to go for the more popular devices if you want to run custom ROMs. So you need to do a little research before buying it.
If video calling is your only concern, just buy a front-facing camera for your Vibrant online and install it yourself. It only costs about 30-40 bucks and it's really easy. Look up the video guides online.
Good luck with it.

Some clarification on this...
I posted here because this is where devs hang out.
Im not trying to hire devs...i know how hard they work and most of the time, the most they get is a thanks, but mostly just people telling them how much their kernel or rom sucks, when they know they couldnt make it themselves. It would be much different if it was the manufacturer that released crap, then you could complain because you paid for it. But these guys do it for free with hopes of donations, and I appreciate that.
Now as far as the FFC...i could have done that, however, my wife would have lost her mind with me doing that thinking I would f*ck something up...its hard enough with me flashing roms without her flipping out thinking im gonna brick my phone. Plus she wanted me to have a new toy before I deployed...
Hope that answered some of the questions that you guys had...let me know if you have more.

OP: Thank you for your service. If I had a device, I would be willing to help you out. It's very difficult to dev without hardware though. I don't expect people to buy me stuff though... Good luck getting things going. There just hasn't been a lot of community interest in the streak.

Thanks for the support guys. It really means alot. As for the people posting that have negative comments to post, I aint hating. I already seen that coming. Maybe its just me, but if you aint got nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all. I mean, they really took time out of their busy day to read my entire post, just to be a d#ck?
I already stated that this is not a post about a new mod, rom, or anything remotely dev-ish. You only had to read as far as the subject to get the general gist.
@ttabbal...thanks man, and I figured as much, but I also figured that if I didnt at least ask, then the answer would definately be a no, so I said what the hell and gave this post a shot. Jellette already gave some good feedback in the Streak 7 forum, but he is on the wall about getting one, the same reason I almost didnt get one...the wife has mucho say-so...lol. I also got a couple other devs PM me with input as well.
Anyways, thanks again you all. And I hope to keep the post up and running, in spite of the nagative nancys out there
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Nevermind...i was asking devs to help out, not argue. I got better things to do, like train all my Soldiers for this deployment so that they come home safe to their families. Its not just gonna be me deploying. Mothers and Fathers have entrusted me with their children's lives to make sure they come back safe. That is way more reason for me not to pick an internet argument.
Thanks all you supporters....just wish there was a way to get a dev on this at least to get a stable recovery on it. If I had recovery and a stock rom to flash back to, I would start deving myself.
Have a great night all.

Well guys, wish me luck. Im gonna port my new clockwork recovery image for my dell streak 7, as soon as I dump my image from my device since its not supported yet and no one is deving this yet. Im following the instructions koushik dutta left on his website and I am a somewhat advanced linux user, so I think I can get it. And pointers on this, please let me know.
Also, all you devs out there that would assist me, I would appreciate it. If I get this right without bricking my streak, I will be asking gor help on kernel and rom deving. I know none of you have it, but if you have tips and good places for me to read up on, I would appreciate it. People in this post are getting awful mad, so if you want, you can just PM me or post a topic in the dev section of the streak 7 forum, there arent flamers there...yet, and no one is a tattletale.

Sorry dude.. I see what you are saying now.. my bad...

I'm sad to announce...

I'm not leaving these forums. I know, I know, your tears will dry and time will heal the wound, but I think I'm here at least for another year or so.
Very few of you know me and so it makes this announcement even more difficult knowing that nobody has any clue as to why I'm making this.
As unknown as I am, I feel I have contributed immensely to these boards by testing their bandwidth and storage space. It's good to help out the community, ya know. I recommend it.
To the devs, I know you will miss my clicking on your links to download your free software which you stored, at times, on your own servers. I know the money I never paid you will go far in helping support further network and storage endeavors.
That being said, hello.
Me.

Damn, I was really looking forward to you kicking rocks

now this is a thread i can get behind.

Goodbye

I have really appreciated all the hard work all the developers have done for the epic since I have purchased it in january. I really appreciated Ptfdmedics Roms, in response to that I will share Autism Awareness with the my Incredible 2 community by adding his banner to my Sig. I really did learn a lot from you guys, since I got my epic, I have worked on my fiance's old G1, her current hero, and my best friends EVO. Each one was a challenge in its own respects, and I couldnt have done it without you guys.
I just posted my Epic on Ebay, and will be getting the Incredible 2 here shortly. I am sad to be leaving sprint, but excited to be seeing the quality difference in coverage verizon supposedly has. I am not excited about my bandwidth limitations, since we missed the date for the unlimited amount.

No going flame or call you no named, but thank the devs personally whose work you enjoyed. They will appreciate it, but personally I'm not super interested in the backstory of someone leaving anyway. I'd prefer to read threads about someone who thought they were going to have to leave for whatever reason and were able to stay in our community, imo.

I could write like five or six of these. I have come extremely close to trading this phone off for a shift or an evo. The first couple of times it didn't happen was because the deals fell through. Later on I figured out that i would lose voodoo and that gave me pause. Then EF02 came around and fixed most of my problems.
What later insured that i would stay were Anonymous rom i3 which gave my phone a new lease on life and worked great in almost every way. Lastly, independent tests showed the epic's radio is only slightly worse than most phones and doesn't have major issues like the evo3d and nexus s. I just have bad sprint service in my area.

Thanks all for the best wishes. I would have left input more often and upped my numbers in posts, but I always became side tracked or couldn't remember my log in info. The info I have received from many of your posts has been invaluable.
I sure hope that the Incredible 2 penny sale lasts till tomorrow or Wednesday so I can still place my order, am waiting for my epic to sell or get at least a bid before I purchase my new phone and service.
Also, can someone pm the code to add the Autism Awareness banner to my signature? If not no problem, ill figure it out.

^^This all day. I have absolutely no problem if someone chooses to leave for other pastures, don't really have any problem with someone who posts about it if/when they do so in the respectful and humble manner the OP did though I myself if it were me would just be gone and leave it at that.
The only issue I ever have with those who say 'goodbye' is those who leave and take the opportunity on their way out to gripe, moan and complain about everything the phone isn't/wasn't for them or everything else negative under the sun and even worse in some cases basically try and tell the rest of us that we're a bunch of ignorant sots for not packing our bags and moving on too. The OP did nothing remotely like that and deserves respect & kudos for the above board manner in which he's moving on rather than flaming (which is against the rules anyway, but its unjustified regardless in this case).

If a person leaves EPIC 4G for the Samsung Within or the EPIC 4G 2, does it count as leaving? How about to Galaxy S on another network?

Goodbye Epic

After nearly a year with the Epic that I had high hopes for, I jumped... After the lack of updates/bug fixes and the little quirks that I learned to live with and even defend, as stupid as that is, I snatched an evo 3d from the net. I've had it about 12 hours and so far I dig it. Very smooth, no noticeable bugs yet and battery life seems to be good too.
I'm debating on keeping the epic and seeing how it performs when CM7 is or gingerbread is up but I really don't see me going back. Although, that display is excellent.

You should keep your Epic just in case you need a good camera. HTC cameras always sucked.

Since this is here, I feel the same way. I have so many problems with my Epic that I'm considering getting the N4GS, but I gotta dig into the forums to find out the most common problem it has
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yeah, wanted to love the epic, it was like a bad girlfriend tho.... I dug around the forum a bit and did some reading, considered a nexus or an epic touch but just couldn't bring myself to go with Samsung again. Got a good enough deal on this evo 3d that I'll barely have any out of pocket expense if I sell the epic. I will miss the screen and the keyboard but those weren't a good enough reason to continue dealing with the bugs.
Day two with this phone, can't put it down. Have had a few FCs with rss apps but life is good. Straight outta the box, everything works as it should, very responsive, fast and smooth. Don't see a need to bother with flashing anything.

Kool beans OP, I got sick of my friend talking about his Captivate being the $h!t on CM7 and my Epic still having issues all the time. I looked at the Epic Touch but just found it hard to deal with the footprint and the fact that work gave me a Droid x2 (biggest POS ever!) to carry, my pockets are only so big.
I'm rocking the iPhone 4 (regular) and I'm satisfied, hope this will work out till the new LTE phones debut.
Thanx to all the DEVs and users that found how to fix the $h!t Samsung/Sprint where incapable of fixing, with out you this phone would have just been an Epic Fail.

The design intent was good, just fell short for me as finished product. I guess after spending 4 years with IPhones I wanted a phone that worked as intended and only root/mod if I wanted to, not because I had to.
somebody dropped the ball....

Craigslist - Verizon Galaxy nexus 400$

Alright this might sound sketchy to some of you, but I think alot of people can vouch for me. A guy on my local craigslist is selling a clean esn galaxy nexus for 400$. Said it was mint, said theres nothing wrong with it, just wants an iPhone. If I had 400 I would buy it in a heartbeat, sadly I blow all my money on tablets and other phones lol. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wanted to send me a money order or cash via the mail, unless this guy takes paypal, I would love to buy it for someone and then ship it out to them. 400$ is a bargain for this phone, I think, anyway.
