Another thank you, but shifted

Like what i did in the title there? 2pro, anyways
Been following everyone going from HeroC to Evo shift. did loads of research as im picky about my phone. just took the plunge 2 hours ago and has not looked back!! i almost dont want to root it cause its already fast as F*$%
so point being: thank you to all the XDA devs and mods, and everyone else that points in there 2 cents and effort.
look forward to messing with this bad boy

If i can add to this thread. After reading specs i was going to get an epic. But after reading almost everything here im getting a shift. I havent seen one bad comment on it yet!! Thank you everyone on here!!

I'm sure I bad mouthed it initially, but I'm anal about my phones. Let's just say it has started to grow on me. The future looks bright

It's really a great phone, especially coming from a Heroc. Heck, I barely use the keyboard cuz' I have gotten used to "swyping"
...and the phone is smooth, fast, and all that jazz.

Is swype preinstalled on the shift?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

It isn't, but but the Swype beta was open last time I checked so go apply!
My only gripe is the screen size seems so small.

So true. I started on xda a few months after the buying a g1 (in November 2008), and left almost a year ago due to the rude attitudes. Coming back to the shift forum has been a nice surprise.

I used to own an Epic and man there is a hell of a lot of drama over there. Even on their IRC...the truth is that there are just not enough handsets out there yet. Dicks will eventually buy it and then start trolling here.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

This will happen the moment a "one-click" root method is available.

It will be up to us to keep them in line, and keep our little piece of the world free of riff raff.
The Hero forum really wasn't that bad to be honest with you either.

A lot of people just wanna know what went down. What's happened happened so what difference would it make.
cd's or tapes?

I think he's a cool dude, agreed with the other poster that he's the "least understood". He'll be back He's said he was going to leave before and stuck around. He'll be here.

isn't this his 3rd or 4th time?

I for one, will miss him. He helped me tremendously with my theming. I hope he makes his return when everything settles down

Well all this is going to definitely change things....
k0nane... Out? Gone for good? We don't know.. Only time will tell...
Mystery... Same as above...
Dreamsforgotten, last I talked to k0nane personally on the night of the ACS/INC start he told me Dreams was knee deep in smali code (theming) for the Nexus 4g..
So we definitely have a lot of important pieces missing to the big Epic 4g puzzle... I sure hope one day they all come back so we can finish this picture.
We still have some great themers and developers, plus many new in the last month or so up and comers that have made a great impact on the scene so we are going to all have to pull together and do the best with who/what we have. Everything will be fine.
Now more than ever everyone needs to work together, hand in hand and share to make future GB and the last of EC05 development the best it can be for the Epic 4g.

Thread cleaned. No flaming please. Thank you.

Is there such a thing as a GPS lock?

The reason I ask is because the old lady suspects me of cheating on her, which I totally am, (high five!) And wants me to use some GPS tracking app so she can check on where I'm at. I've turned it off a couple times only to get a call two seconds later from her...
I've searched the market for such an app with no success. So I was wondering if anyone here knew of one, or a way to lock or fix my GPS location to places even if I'm not there...

Or maybe you can quit being a cowardly liar and just break up with her.

Turn GPS off, also turn of location via wireless networks?
Or maybe get a divorce?
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

All I can say is install an AOSP ROM, like Cyanogen or MIUI, AND delete the gps drivers. No drivers, no gps.
Maybe get the wife drunk and suggest a threesome?

There never, ever is a good or valid reason for that kind of low life behavior. It's just cowardice or total lack of character. Any one who thinks this behavior is excusable or justifiable is admitting to a similar mindset.
And yeah, sometimes people do need judging to help them see the boundaries between right and wrong.

So far, the only feature I've read about I really dislike is real-money auctions. While arguments can be made for their benefits or necessity, it just seems to place players like myself (ones who would never consider paying real money for in-game items) at a severe disadvantage.

Time to break my addiction

Well, I haven't actually had the Epic for 6 months now, though I still have 2 of them on my account. With my GS3 getting delivered tomorrow, I think its time to break my Epic4G thread addiction and say goodbye.
I want to say thanks to everyone here for a good couple of years. I made many good friends from this forum, learned a ton, and tried to pass on much of it to the group of themers that came after me.
I know that I will see many of you in the GS3 forums in the next few months, so until then, unless my daughter or ex f up their epics and I need help.

I know I am thankful for what you have given. You will and have been missed.

How about...all former OG Epic users who go to SG3 can simply post roms, themes, mods, and LeBron King photos over here in the Epic forums. There can be some kind of "code" used so we can differentiate between Epic threads and non-Epic (non Epic can have a suffix like "NE"- so we can have Peoples Rom NE, RandomRom NE, etc). Kenny, as FNM, can watch over to make sure no non-Epicureans get in (like the burly guy that stands at the velvet rope and let's the hotties into the nightclub). It will be like a "secret society" of old Epic users, complete with crest that can be used as splashscreen animation...
Shane, your contributions to the Epic were, truly, Epic. Thank you for your creativity and time! See you on the other side...
