hey my HeroC's
just letting you know im off to a new device (Speedy)
But i wanna thannk ANYONE who helped me personally in this
forum.
A special thanks to Duce (for being a general BadAss), Laie, (for helping me with, Data2ext, and general things) and of course all the Devs, who made flashing ROMS exciting. If i forgot anyone, sorry.
But hope all you guys develop this mother to its extreme.
Ill be checkin in and out.
Happy Rooting!!
Have fun with the new Speedy. My gf got that phone while I still had my Hero and it made me REALLY jealous, lol. You won't be disappointed, and now in the Evo Shift Development forums they already have a fully rooted version of the Gingerbread OTA that was released today!

Speedy is just the HTC code name for the Evo Shift 4G lol.
It's like how HTC Supersonic was the code name for the Evo 4G.
Oh. Ha man I did not know that. Lol. I was gonna do a search for speedy lol. Thanks man.

Enjoy the Speedy, just got it for the wife recently. Only rooted it but haven't put any roms on there.

To be honest, I'm getting so sick of these monsters of phones. Like EVO, the 3d, the photon, inspire, and other HTC phones. The shift is compact enough but has a solid punch.

I said the same thing last year. The phones are big. But after messing with a coworkers day after day, I really like the size. Plus dual core and sense 3.0. I couldn't pass this one up. Did I mention Windows 8 will have support for ARM chipsets. I'll be triple booting Android, ubuntu, and Windows. At least hopefully.

@uncorupted, the specs for sure sound amazing, but NFX has a really nice port of Sense 3, not official but still enough not to be swayed by the 3D

if it took about 7 months for the hero to become a "outdated" phone i take it the evo will be considered old by x-mas?
I dun think so. Eco is more high end and hero was very low end compared to other phones when it came out. N1 is still popular and even g1 is pretty popular

maybe not from sprint, but better devices are just around the corner, i mean look at the desire HD, the Evo just came out, and the second gen snapdragon core with a 3x better GPU is already here...not to mention the Galaxy phones, with their hummingbird cores and super amoleds...
Id say the EVO goes EOL by q2/q3 2011 but there will still be plenty of development going on here for at least few years. I been seeing more EVOs around town lately Im wondering if there's a Walmart selling them cheap.
My upgrade is in March also I hope something phenomenal is out by then.
Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner. Look at the N1 hardware vs. Evo hardware. I mean the processor + ram, not the 'camera'. It will only be a few months until dual core processors and parallel processed apps come through and make the Evo seem slow. For now, its a beast of a king though.
so i decided to try out a samsung epic 4 days ago...BIG mistake.
good things about the epic:
very crisp screen and colors.
the hummingbird cpu blows the evo away.
cons...
no official froyo
buggy roms minus bonsai.
crappy slider for hardware keyboard.
cannot update profile or prl at all, a known issue!
clockwork sucks compared to amon recovery.
no apps2sd!
no custom kernels and not alot of development.
so to sum it up im back on an evo and ill NEVER buy a samsung again, EVER!
Welcome back...
Cool story, bro.
I had an epic and dumped it for an evo. I couldn't be happier!

The update profile/prl issue happened to my brother too.
When his screen randomly failed and he received a replacement it was resolved so it must be a phone issue.
Also, why would anyone develop for Samsung phones when Samsung doesn't even do it?

without a doubt, shame what they have done to the galaxy line. to not even have froyo yet is a bunch of bull crap. i will say the epic has much better battery life compared to the evo.

I was just going to post this topic we need a list of developers who will work on the new evo3d. Evo has been blessed with one of the best communities on xda and that is how I will truly decide which phone I get from now on, where the devs go, I go.

Don't you guys think this is a little premature? It hasn't even been announced yet, all we have are rumored specs. Wait till after CTIA when we actually know what it is and then people will know if they want it.

This question shouldn't even be asked. Every device, "hey guys do you think the devs are going to upgrade from the hero to the evo?" Now it is, "hey guys, do you think the devs are going to get the latest phone?"
Let me go back even more. "This touch pro rocks. Are they devs going to get the touch pro 2?" Of course they do.

sure.. most android phones will have someone that will mess around with it...
but some phones get more and better devs.. more adopters and active community...with more determinations and creativity.
shining examples: G1, hero/eris, incredible, EVO...
just look at the root forum and the list of all the android phones...HTC phones... not all have been as active as the one that I just mentioned.
tell you want... dont worry about it.. and just move on to the next thread/post.
i'd put down $20 bucks each for Toast and Shinzul. like any HTC ROMs, there will be dozens of people making stock based ROMs but only a few can do what those two can. plus what would the evo 3d be without a mostly functioning (or even supported) CM?

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.

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.

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.

Went to the Photon this week. I'm really enjoying it.
I guess the main thing for me was that I thought our ICS roms were falling just a tad short. As much as I like GB and I think roms like Supreme sense are f'in top notch, ICS addresses my functionality complaints i have about GB. As much as I appreciate Deck (pb21 was pretty awesome), Mega and the like for their work, trying to daily drive and be a power-user with the current ICS roms was rough at times, and I cant blame them for moving on to better phones to do development on instead of addressing every minor detail about shift roms. I saw the writing on the wall, I guess.
The MoPho is quite good, though pricey at 200 bucks. I will buy physical keyboard phones for as long as they keep making them. No sooner did i find out about the Photon, (which was just last week. shows you how little I come by the shift forums lately), I concluded it might be time to jump ship. Its too good a keyboarded phone to pass up since I had the upgrade offer. Otherwise, i would have waited it out.
