ok so right now I have an HD2 running a Froyo Sense ROM, OC to 1.113ghz with usually 250MB free benching better than a nexus one stock on 2.2.
I am loving this phone, it's basically an Evo on Tmobile, with updates coming out daily.
The thing is that someone is willing to trade me a Vibrant for it. Now market value alone says I should do the trade, but the thing is I don't see many custom ROMs here ( I know it's new but still) and I am all about Froyo + OC + lag fix + other cool stuff, and I just wanted some feedback on how people like their Vibrant?
I love the Super AMOLED and hummingbird, I think I'll do the trade based on those 2 factors alone, but how's the general fluidity, the UI, battery life? Just trying to get a good concept here.
Do you guys see much development coming soon? Sense ROMs, Froyo ROMs, etc...?
Do it!
......
Let's be honest that hd 2 with android sucks for every day use. I say do it!

The UI is user preference, like sense the widgets are nice. I just can't stand the look of Sense. That being said everything pretty much depends on what you like and how you use it.
I love my vibrant. The only problems I've had is with GPS in some situations but other than that there is no significant issue with the phone for me. Reception is better than other phones I've used on TMO.
^ Samsung is coming out with a GPS fix in September. Possibly even a Froyo update in one bundle.
Hd2 sux compared to the vibrant
sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app
in certain areas? Things like roms and overclocking kernels our developers are on top of, no question about it
From time to time, I wonder into the other android device's development sections of xda and think what if we had those developments. Take for example the Nexus S, they have a sound patch that improves the sound quality and ext4 optimizations to increase performance in Gingerbread. In the Desire HD development section they have a performance enhanced kernel for CM7. Just a few examples of such developments I see in other sections, that gets me thinking.
Dont get me wrong I appreciate all the hard work and effort that our current developers go through to provide us "normal" users with kernels and roms for our devices. I wish I had the time and knowledge of the Android system to get into development, to help out.
Just sharing my thoughts and would like to hear others opinion on this, not criticizing or trying to create a issue.
I believe that there is in fact a huge rom development out there. I can see why your frustrated with certain things not being there, but you have to remember how hard it was to crack root on this phone, therefore it is harder to do certain things to it. Where as the galaxy s series is easy as pie to root and hack, along with the evo and older phones. Just mosey on other phone forums and notice the lack of development that they have. There are other great phones, like the evo shift 4G and others that aren't getting love like this phone.

haha try working with something with a weak following, like a Samsung Transform. All I really see is guys complaining there's no XDA sub-board. There's an SDK but it all sucks especially because I'm used to how wonderful my G2's support is.
There's a decent following for the Vibrant, but zero cyanogen for it, and I doubt there ever will be. I do like my Axura rom, but it makes me sad I can't cyanogen it. Which makes me appreciate cyanogen even more though, because I see that it has sooooo much more than other roms.

I was trying to find the XDA forum for the Moto Cliq for my sister, and realized on doesn't even exist, lol. But I do miss the Vibrant forums a little bit. When I had my Vibrant I ran Nero/Bionix and it was the tits. I am new to CM but having Gingerbread gives me wood, so I'm as happy as a pig in poop with my G2.

Yep, I tried to help a friend with a Cliq and found that too. He was sooo excited for his 2.1 OTA that was super late from the initial promise date that he was expecting. And I found just about zero following for that thing.
I ran bionix for a bit, and I think overall I prefer the Axura over it, except the newest one doesn't have HD Camcorder as of now

What up RatDude? Haha, I had a cliq before this phone and got it when it was just released. I rooted that thing since day one flashing all kinds of buggy roms. That's what started it all.They've come a long way. I used modmymobile.com and they have some pretty good development, and some really good roms. The thing doesn't compare to my G2 though!

I love development and the Android community. So much choices to satisfy anyone's flavor. Here in the G2/Desire Z forums, I believe there is plenty of development. QUALITY development.
In the G1 forums, when it was still really popular, you would just see the forums flooded with all different kinds of ROMs, from several devs. I tried out tons of them, but none of them, except a handful were well made (Cyanogen, JAC, Haykuro, to name a few). Pretty much all the half assed ones were all basic copies of all the other ones, or rip offs of the good ones. In addition there were only two types: stock and sense.
With our forums, we have so many possibilities. Stock, modified stock, froyo, gingerbread, sense, miui. Our hardware can actually support all this too and run well, unlike on other devices.
It doesn't end at roms. We have kernels, modifications, hacks. Anything to make your phone unique. And may I say, our processor is an overclocking champion. I can load up the 1.8 Ghz kernel and run it all day every day, stable. Now, I don't do it, but it's nice to have the option.
In addition to all of this, our phone is still relatively current. Next gen snapdragon processor, nearly 2 gigs of accessible rom, 512 megs of ram, decent screen, stock froyo. I don't see why the G2 wouldn't receive a 2.3 OTA.
As time progresses, I can see more and more devs pop up to try and take the reigns of development for this forum. It's a matter of when, not if.

Haha, funny. Yup your right it was but they do a lot to the cliq on there. The blurry eclair rom was sweet.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I don't really feel that way at all. There are the roms that most consider relevant, the sense roms (which has been consolidated into virtuous) and the cyanogenmod team that is so large now that most of the top developers have teamed up. Sure the number of roms are down but the quality is top notch
Sent from my HTC Vision
I agree to a certain point. If it wasn't for the Devs then this phone wouldn't see anything. There is barely any support from the manufacturers (ie. docks, car docks). They released the G2/Dezire Z then the Nexus S comes out and it's a forgotten phone from their standpoint.

Yeah, modmymoto was the best site around for Moto modding. Good to see an original Moto modder here. I also modded Motorolas, I modded two RAZR V3's . I loved the fact that you could seriouly mod EVERY LITTLE thing; from small stuff like removing the anoying buzz noise when the phone is near a speaker through a seem edit to stuff like changing the housing to all gold, I saw this one guy put a see-through housing on his RAZR V3 wand made his keypad gold and all the sound up and down buttons down or some other bits of gold parts in it. I loved modding Moto's, I remember that I had an iPhone theme with an iPhone icon pack and an iPhone font, I always used the Mulifex way of flashing, I liked that way the most. I loved the fact that I could change my service provider to 'Beast-Mobile' and change the names of the items in the menu, like for example I had my phone book says "my name's Homies" like "KoolKidsKlub's Homies" I wish that I could change stuff like that on an Android phone.
I've modded stuff like this for as long as I can remember XDA rules, lol. I once bricked a Moto Rokr E8, but I think that's about the only thing I've genuinely bricked haha. I always tell people it usually takes talent to brick an android. I just scored a Vibrant because it was "bricked" and I resurrected it.
[email protected] the post that if this phone didn't have Dev's, it wouldn't see anything at all. I haven't seen any docks for it, yet there are dock settings. Yet the phone I do have a dock for has no dock settings
Has anyone else noticed that the ATRIX forums have been extremely dead lately? The development section mostly, nothing new has been coming out and things haven't been being updated in a while. are all the devastating focusing on getting cm7 fully functional or has everyone just disappeared?

No new ROMs for weeks, maybe over a month... webtop2sd project abandoned... aside from the CM7's prebetas and faux's OC, it's like everyone has moved on to brighter shores, like photon or bionic...
It's all over. Dead before it even got started. The developers have abandoned us.
Now we'll never be like one of the more "alive" forums, like the Captivate or the Inspire forums...we'll never have a bunch of the same ROM's that are just themed differently.

The Atrix has 3 major waves.
The first was unlocking the bootloader, and that opened a whole set of new ROMS and excitement.
The second is for the long awaited CM7, and what it will bring to the table.
The final major wave will be Ice Cream Sandwich. Even if ICS never becomes "official", there will be many ROMS based upon it.
Still plenty of life and goodness coming down the road...

The days of rapid development for one device are over. Custom ROMs used to add features you couldn't get anywhere else but the gap is closing. Android is becoming a mature OS. Pick your hardware and enjoy.

And by official CM7, I mean a build specifically for the prime, its hardware, etc. form the CM7 team themselves… not to knock the Atrix Dev teams release thus far, which I believe to be a wonderful effort.

Er, because I don't want to spend 100s of dollars on something of comparable spec, and I'm v happy with Atrix battery, form factor, screen res and voice quality/speaker quality?
Alien, Aura etc. is pretty much debloated, CM7 or further revisions of above will complete the picture.
They're playing coy but CM has hit its peak. We'll get it here, but beyond this generation of phones I wouldn't expect much.
CM can't really "hit their peak" as the very base they use for their releases, is virtually a constant beta test(...android). That being said, I don't see any reason why CM can peak, when new features are and will continue to be pushed into Android daily. Honeycomb was mainly a release to make Android viable to tablets, so in the phone scene, CM skipped a gen as there are no phones(to my knowledge) that run Android 3.0. The CM team can't hit their peak until Google hits their peak.
With that being said, it's true that the forums are quiet lately, but aside from a few very difficult features, we don't really have any gripes, do we? CM is the end of any androids open development in my opinion anyway, after that...the only next best thing is...a higher version CM.
I think everyone is just itching for something to flash.
Xda app via atrix
I simply mean their relevance has already crested. CM breathed new life into old hardware and extra features onto others to build their reputation but it seems Google and OEMs gave begun integrating many of CMs differentiatiors. Eventually it just can't have the impact it used to. That doesn't make it irrelevant, just less of a prime factor in purchasing decisions.
Don't get me wrong, I've been a CM faithful since before the Droid blew up Android.. but the reasons listed above combined with the extra projects they are all getting into seem to form an obvious case for lowered expectations.

There is though. CM is Android without the manufacturers mess of a launcher. Google has definitely integrated lots of CM's contributions to Android, but those can be pretty hard to see if the launcher in question is a big piece of crap..like Motoblur.
Honestly, I find it hard to see why people are upset with things in their current form. Motorola is going to be adding Webtop into all of it's higher end handsets, and webtop is pretty awesome. It's functions like that, that make it worth jumping from a bustling community like the Captivate, to the dead Atrix community, like I did. I don't miss my Captivate at all. I just miss Cyanogenmod.
Its sad.
Development section is super slow. Not much traffic. user base is getting smaller and smaller.

ROM development has definitely slowed. The latest example is with Sense 3.5. I can list 6 models of HTC phones that already have a working ROM, yet I bet the MT4G won't get one for several months, if ever. Compare the MT4G dev section to the DHD dev section. Almost identical phones, yet there is no comparison in the quality and number of ROMs between the two phones. I hate to complain, since ROMs are generally free and done in developer's spare time, but I do wish the MT4G was more like other more popular phones when it comes to ROM development.
I recently picked up a mytouch 4g and while it does seem like development isn't moving at a real fast pace, it looks like there's still plenty of a selection of roms to choose from.
Btw, LOVING my mt4g so far! Much better than my vibrant, g2, sgs4g or hd2. It's just an all around great phone!

The MT4G has a 3.5 Sense ROM, Raffyv posted it on Rootzwiki. But it's true about the development, this phone just doesn't have that fan base as other Htc phones, compare the MT4GS development to the Sensation, it's practically night and day over there. MT4GS is so far behind the Sensation and Evo3D that's it's not even funny. I've recently sold my MT4G, and will most likely get another Android phone when Quads are made, I've been looking at WP7 devices lately. Tbh WP7 is rather quick on the aging hardware it's used on, but it's rather simplistic compared to Android, offering no visible widgets, but instead a tile UI.

It's actually a damn good rom.. does need alil work tho..bt and WiFi don't work at present, but other than that, sense 3.5 just takes the cake
You have to see a life span for device is 6months and MT4G came out on Q4 of 2010 and is almost close to years old to general public and for us who gets it 3-6months before its even older. Now it does not mean its abandoned but the user base for MT4G was never big as its not HD2(Leo). Far as AOSP is there some of us can careless about Sense based even the hybrids, as CM7 all th way.
Far as kernel and other hack goes its usually not device specific as its usually OS revision implementation which are minor tweaks for the version. On top of that we have major app base that is rich if one know how to search and find what the looking for via XDA or other forums and sites. I am not worried remotely about dev for our device as ill stick to it even if all stops until quad core based superphones are in market or forced to go CDMA based carrier due to recent at&tmobile merge fiasco.

I'm one of those people who ends up getting the phone 3-6months after, sometimes development is more secured or the quality is better once the device has been in the open. If you get it right away it's not gonna offer a wide range of hacks and such.

True as it matures you have more option but at the cost of bragging right. I paid $750 USD for HD2-US (Leo1024) not the HD2-EU (Leo512) and got it like 4-5months before it came in USA. I was one of the only few folks in USA who had 4.3" screen and this was 9-10months before the Evo came out on Sprint. Same goes for MT4G got it like 2months before it was out on TMoUS at cost of $590. Keep in mind then it was the fastest single core device as Qualcomm 2GS proc with highest ram offering 768mb. This was before US-AT&T Inspire and after DHD-EU model as I refuse to go with inferior SamSUX device such as Nexsus S or another BS-SGS. The development for hack are usually OS dependent as its not device specific. But most of the tweaks are usually device specific due to the thread subsection its posted thus it reflects more based on that, I am sure you know what I am saying as I am already ready to go home.

Well I don't mind the smaller dev base here ... I have a handful of different devices, and there seems to be less drama here with the glacier! More development means more ppl arguing over who is better or you took this from me, blah blah blah...
Also, just cause its not posted on xda doesn't mean its not legit... Raft was bringing us ports when no one else wad really doing things for this phone! Just happens that he was ban from here for reasons I don't know...
Thanks for the link for Sense 3.5. I agree with every one of you. Also, I head that devs were able to access the primary bootloader like in HD2 completely gaining control of the hardware. Which would be cool. Think Wp7 on SGSII.
Although Microsoft would sue the heck out of it, so its a NOGO.
wait I FORGOT MEEGOOOOOOO on SGSII that would be EPIC!!
I don't really care how many roms there are or how often they get updated, as long as they're good. The quality of the roms seems top-notch for the MyTouch 4G.
I'm a little confused about what the problem is. Coming from an hd2, that forum is great and very alive, true. But what's the point of having four different takes on cm7? Or sense? Or sense 3.0? If that's what you mean, then I'll pass. Now if you're taking about a guy like tytung making kernels, figuring out a way to add aGPS support, etc then yeah he's great, but it took so long to do (not his fault though. That guy is a genius). Frankly, I'm happier with less selection of ROMS to choose from because overall, each mt4g rom rocks nearly every other "this is my take on cm7 I added colors" rom out there. The mt4g is 100% functional. Development has slowed because honestly, what more is there to do short of hardwiring another core into this phone? No disrespect intended for any dev.

As some before me, I honestly prefer MT4G ROMs selection to the others.
Funny that HD2 comes up here. I was trying to find a decent fully functional ROM for HD2 and found nothing. The only fully functional Sense ROMs over there are Froyo - not a single Gingerbread Sense ROM that has hotspot/tethering or camcorder. Yes, I know, kernel source needed. But it isn't the question - look for how long we already have fully functional Sense 2.1 / 3.0, and they still don't! But there are at least 5-6, if not 10, different (half-functional) Sense 3.0 ROMs. Personally, I prefer quality over quantity.

Bingo. Right on the spot there.
Plus it's HTC and supported by Zinx and Kmobs. Means we'll be amongst the first to receive ICS. I'll take that.
And as well as supported by the VU team as well. We'll be in good shape for quite some time. We have the hardware to be relevant for a long time.
Screw Sense period. I run MIUI and there is an updated Rom every Friday. If you call weekly updates slow then you will never be happy.

The crazy part is z3freak got it out just moments after I figured it out. I waited too long.
On the bright side, I do have HoneySense 8 Reboot edition waiting here. I broke WiFi and I wanna fix it before I send it out. Just not sure what use level files control WiFi (its a user level problem, not a kernel one).
Reboot edition is just Sense 2.1 with even more Honey, and sexy battery life (somehow manages to last 7 hours with 100 percent, followed by about 20 - 30 hours from 99 to 0 percent, and that's on the stock kernel.) Honeysense v9 will be the return of Sense 3.0.

I have tried to flash many roms, keep them, and love them. But there is just no ROM that I think does the EVO right like Synergy. Almost a year since its release, too! I remember flashing every one of it's nightly builds.
The EVO's life span is at its end. I feel like because of this well collaborated project, I really have enjoyed and got the most function out of my EVO.
Is anyone else just a die hard fan of this rom?

for your amazing ROM.
P.S. EVO 4G LTE, here I come.
i was on rls1 up until a couple of weeks ago, loved it. i'm running express for my daily now, playing with shooter and kornerz. all are working good and i like them all.
the evo still has a good bit of life left.. the devs keep bringing new features to the table. i'll be using it till sprint gets something i like, my contract goes for another 3 months..

I was a die hard fan at one time and still consider that ROM sort of a high water mark for Sense ROMs for the Evo. (As opposed to quick and dirty ports from other phones, this one showed some real skill and care on the part of the developers.) It piggybacked on the great community of fans that had grown around myn's previous ROMs, so the abundance of themes and mods was a real selling point as well.
But there's no denying it was based on an older stock ROM and older kernel, had CIQ baked in, offered a confusing experimental GodMode option (that turned out to be a developmental dead end and was incompatible with any mods or kernels not explicitly designed for it), and is no longer being updated with key performance enhancements that Sprint, HTC, and the wider XDA community have discovered or developed for almost a year now.
MikG is the logical successor to Synergy. Not that there aren't even newer and more exciting ROMs out there, but MikG really is the closest thing we have to Synergy that is actively maintained.

Gotta go with mikG also. Even while synergy was still being developed I preferred mikg, miks roms are always great.
i was definitely hyped up for the release, but could never become a die hard fan. tried, and it was very good, just couldn't love it. I've been on Tommy Tomatoes since it was released and find it significantly more stable and useful. I believe Tommy is a Myn disciple, so you would be as happy there
I will admit that I never ran the Synergy Roms but I've flashed a lot of Roms since rooting my phone in Sept of 2011 and Tommy is doing incredible stuff.
His Roms are great! Super stable with a ton of tweaks. Supermagic is probably going to blow everyone's mind!
Just my opinion of course. Although all of the Developers keep the Evo 4G interesting. The amount of roms that are ported over to the Evo are unreal. Lots of variety.
I might give supermagic a try.... Been on mikg forever because I always come back

I tried synergy mikgg3.11 and supermagoc classic evolution. I keep going back to swagged out stock n with lionfish
what a great rom it is, it was my first custom rom that i used and ended up using it for a few months and consider going back to it regularly when i get fed up with dealing with ics roms that are not stable enough for me to use on a daily basis and i kinda miss having htc sense now that im almost addicted to cm builds
Synergy was my first custom. But too many bugs for me. I did move on to Energy, but once ICS has been ported, there's no looking back.
CM9 all the way.
