Been watching the development of the epic well where is it? But the phone sure looks purty. Cmon get her done already. I am tired of my wife asking when can I make my epic look as cool as your evo.

Lol gahuck it is cooler than your evo. Its been out 2 days duh
Haters gonna hate...
I had an Evo, I couldn't get past the compromises HTC made on hardware and build quality, as well as laggy interface issues.
Now with the Epic, I don't have to make those compromises, everything's like butter and it feels solid, no screen separation issues here.
I have both, the Epic grows on me more and more everyday. And by the end of this week, it'll be my daily driver. Gonna activate it and use my Evo as an MP3 player.

To be honest... when I pick up my EVO now, it feels like an old piece of junk. And you can make it look however you want. Just load in another launcher.
Except for themes... but themes are lame
I personally cant wait to see how developement goes for the Epic. My EVO is flying at the moment thanks to the great developers on XDA. Hopefully beofre too long my Epic will be the same, if not better! We shall see
Week one, what's the hold up
Shouldn't we have lots of development already done on this thing? I mean, it came out Tuesday folks. You expect me to sit on my butt idly waiting till next week or something? If I've gotta wait till October, I'm canning this thing and going back to my Palm III.

Haters lol, I own both of them read the post. I let my wife use the epic. All I asked is where is the development. And yes WOMEN like themes. And flowers. And romance but I guess that is gay 2. All I was stating is that the development for the evo was like bammm and still is. Whereas the epic is like blahhhh. Even the threads barely move. I'll go check over at sdx. Bunch of babies, this is not a thread about my dad is better than your dad.

Lol good one chillaxin. First time I have been called a redneck hillbilly. Yoyoyo sup mfrers? Is that better for you? I am actual fluent in ebonics lol. I have lived in Newark, NJ , Hartford, CT and Rochester, NY. And no my wifey is your cousin!!! lol
If any of you still have your Evo's, take a look at this video on each of your handsets side by side.

The difference is night and day. Our screens really do pwn the Evo's.
Development is kinda' now because the Evo was barely released a few months ago then the Epic came out.
If the Evo had been released a few short months after the Nexus One was released, development for the Evo would be on par with development for the Epic at this time. Hypothetically speaking.
all you guys need to chill out
naww but really the epic has been out for 4 days now and we've made great strides so far. The hero took about 4 weeks to get root and another 2 weeks to get its first rom. We have good devs that re willing to sacrifice their phones to try to bring these things here. So its no problem for me to wait patiently!
haters
Hey Pongoface,
I really wasn't trying to hate. Just thought I'd be my retarded usual self. I caught the jist of what you were saying and I'm definitely looking forward to being cooler than my Evo friends! Now the hill billy talk...I've got no idea where that came from.

wow, u sound like a little high school kid. Go back to playing your Halo and stop trashing the forums. The phone's been released for 4 days and you're getting impatient about the development? Why don't you grab a book on programming and learn something while you wait ;-)

Maybe I should. So much for playing devils advocate to start a spark. Yes Chill my comeback was childish. But your racist remark of calling me a hillbilly was uncalled for. If you don't think that the way you used the word is racist then you are sadly mistaken. You don't know me or my upbringing. Get off my thread if you have nothing good to say about development of the epic. Good luck to you chillaxin to the maXin.

But considering how I have been treated by Samsung so far...is not looking good for the epic to stay in my pocket. In fact I'm looking at getting an Evo...sorry Epic. But your amazing screen and awesome keyboard and amazing hardware are worthless when you have a ****ty service backing it. Cough. Samsung. If you don't know what I'm talkin about go to my other thread here. I am still up for debate on keeping this phone though...decisions decisions...

Have you read the post on the EVO threads? You may be writing " I want to love this phone...another thread. " again
I love my Epic and patience is needed as this phone was just recently released. Samsung has too much at stake with the Galaxy S series to not support it. If you have no patience, then adios.

You bring up a point I thought about today. It's one thing to not support a phone on 1 carrier (Moment) but they would be insane to not support a phone that is on every major carrier.
I'm optimistic.
I returned my Epic today within my 30 day window, but not for the same reason as you want to tho!
Post 10/1 i'll be ordering another Epic under the new SERO Premium (500/$50) plan to help cushion any potential "buyer's remorse" i might have in the future.
i dont start threads, but what the hell.
I was wondering which of the devolopers will be leaveing for the 3D (or else where). I sure some will stay, but all good things come to an end. Thought I would throw this out to be kicked around, so to say.
Im not a Dev but im getting the 3D but also I'm keeping My EVO.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Willing to bet that most will get an Evo 3D.
Some will leave, new devs will come as well.

really good to hear that thought, these Dev's are awsome! they have made my EVO experience rich and full.
Hope to see them all on the other side..
Judging by this thread, looks like we are going to have very good support for development on the 3d side

I'm sure some will continue with the evo also tho.

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Yeah, there will be some jumping ship but if you peak XDA's front page the Evo is the most popular phone on XDA. I tossed the idea around to go with the 3d but I want to see reviews once its released. I would be willing to bet that with the first 3d phone there are going to be bugs like crazy. I know they test a lot but there are bound to be some issues.
cant wait to see what happens with the 3D. im sure everyone wont bail at first but it will happen
unless i can get a 3d for cheap ill pass on it for now and wait for the galaxy s 2 to come. i think the evo has a good 6 months of dev life left in it.

There is a GOD! Best news I heard all day, LOL
Yeah from what I've seen review wise about the galaxy s2 and say...the HTC sensation, the Samsung looks a lot smoother more snappy over all unless you can't live without HTCs UI (i like it personally) then I would go for the GS2 from what I've seen. And I don't think they're going to screw it up and put a keyboard on it this time. (that may change with other versions on down the line though)

EVO is the most popular currently because the 3D is not even out yet. With that being said I'm sure devs will work on multiple phones. Myn works on a few different phones for example.

Where did you get info that the Galaxy is coming out in July? The verizon post was retracted.
Some of the dev.s for the Evo don't even have an Evo. It's not required to own the phone if you're a skilled enough developer. And we definitely have those on board with the evo.

Last week my evo's LCD broke. I was not under warrenty so I had to get a new phone. I went with the Samsung Galaxy SII. I just wanted to thank everyone on the evo forums for helping me out over the last year and a half. But i would like to specifically thank the awesome devs that the evo has, without you guys my days with the evo would have been far too boring. I will definitely keep checking in from time to time to see what's new. Once again, thanks!
And BTW, i actually use my dead evo as a paper weight now.

About to leave to go get my Epic 4g Touch using my dads upgrade. ( I'll have mine in a month to get a new LTE phone ) Just wanted to thank everyone that helped me learn about android by answering my stupid questions and for being a wonderful community of people. Gonna miss my Evo alot, but I'll still have it around for random business such as PC remote and whatnot. oh no.... I told myself I wouldn't cry... *sniff sniff* I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSS
I 2nd this post. Hard to imagine leaving my Evo, even tho it's 21mo old. I doubt any other device I get will stay relevant this long. And the community has been great.

Yea agreed imma feel sad in November when I use my upgrade its still crazy that the evo is still better than some phones I'll miss it tho
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Its OK, yaw jes keep passin them fine phones down to us cheapos! I plan on enjoyin my EVO till the newer phones are down to a Benjamin. hehe
I switched to the NS4G after my Evo **** the bed, and I still miss it.
The Nexus has been far more reliable and has a slick form factor, but I have large hands and miss the brutish size of the Evo. Not to mention the dev support - with the nexus, you get your choice of AOSP, modded AOSP, or the single Sense 2.1 rom.
can u please elaborate on that pc remote thing?
thanks
that is the biggest reason I rooted my phone. I was getting tired of it and still have about 8 months to my upgrade since Sprint did awway with the yearly upgrade on the primary line. The ability to flash different ROMS has given it a totally different look n feel, improved my battery life and brought about new love for my phone. i have decided im not upgrading now until I can get a 4G LTE device and have 4G service in my area.
Having similar feelings. Will be getting something new very soon. Everything I know about android I learned from my Evo and this community. Pretty awesome.

It sets different OOM values. Essentially telling androind when to kill processes if they're bogging down the rest of your system. That is my understanding from reading, if anyone cares to correct, I'd be more than happy.

That's about right. I'm on tapa right now, and I don't have the v6 thread in front of me. Google "v6 supercharger" and the thread pops right up. I highly recommend it. It's not a difficult process either. Great dev with easy install instructions in the op of the thread.

I just wanted to chime in to give credit to the DEVs for keeping the EVO bad ass for so long. I got mine the day it came out (almost 2 years ago, which is an ETERNITY for a technology product) and I would still much rather have the EVO than my wife's I-Phone 4S. Every time I get bored with it I find a new ROM and it's like getting a brand new phone for the donation I make.
Awesome...
