Lack of dev support???

Hey guys, I came here from having an evo and it seems like nobody is really supporting development on this phone. I am kind of surprised as many of these handsets that are out there. What's your take on it? Think the nexus s with mediocre hardware is where everyone is holding out?

I think it's too early to say that. The best is yet to come. We will be getting some ROM's soon. There was a MIUI rom that came out this morning

Seriously? Did you even look at the "development" section for this phone? It's not even been on the market for 45 days and we have root, true unlock (no need to call TMO for code), over clock/ under volt kernel and atleast 3 ROMs including eVil porting MIUI to us today. Hell after the Behold2 and the MT3G-S (which I still have and love) I have been astonished with what we have already.
Edit: forgot to mention the guys who have been busting their asses putting out mods and themes for us

Whoa calm down bro. All I'm saying is it seems slow catching on. The evo was rooted prior to release and had a TON of roms in the first couple weeks. Nobody is bad mouthing the genius developers who are working on them now, it just seems like the number of devs is much smaller...

I also came from the evo so i understand where your coming from, reason why evo got so many developers was because it was first 4G phone period. Since then ALOT of really good phones have been released and developers have migrated every which way.

I came from the evo to the mt4g. To be fair, the evo was like the perfect storm. The last quality sprint android phone was the hero, and all the hero devs were dying for a new device. If the vibrant had never come out, the mt4g would have been flooded with support out of the gate.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

It's official!

Alright so I've been a skeptial bastard about some of the posts about the Evo getting Gingerbread and the new HTC Sense UI. I took the liberty of emailing HTC as well. I know other people have also, but I found those responses from HTC to be vague and didn't hold well with me. I emailed HTC on their website with a straightforward question. Will the Evo get gingerbread. This is their response.
Dear Joe Knockenhauer,
It is our pleasure to provide you with the best possible assistance for all questions and concerns you might have regarding our HTC products.
We are excited to announce that the Evo 4G will receive the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) update in Q2 2011. Stay tuned for details as we get closer to the update availability. Updates to the HTC Sense experience and htcsense.com are independent of upgrades to the core OS in our phones; therefore, we cannot advise if/when Sense will be included.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional assistance if required, Joe.

me, sense 2.0 was the exciting part for me. sux that all we're getting is new code and (maybe) new look if htc doesnt slap too much sense over blackandgreen ginger.

Agreed, sense 2 is what gets me going especally after playing with warm z, would like to see sense 2 without any bugs (mainly activesync bug)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Sweet, i wonder what it'll be like. What's going to be different?

I cannot WAIT, I want the official GB OTA.

Attention to all devs

There is a port that has been put alot of time into and needs the handy work of some talented devs that can get this going and finished in the right direction. The Droid X port. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134997 )
Camera is literally a second away from getting to work and other then that that WiFi is the only thing not working to my knowledge. me and a bunch of other members have been trying to keep the thread alive and checking in everyday to see how the progress was and at first it wasn't doing anything and no one was even bothering cause of it being motoblur and doubted it could ever work/
But then team Xron came in and literally brought this port from nothing to pretty damn usable. They fixed the screen tearing, the hw acceleration and the sound. All that is working right now and only thing that needs a touch up from a dev is the Wifi. Fix that and this can be one badass mother effin Port. Can't wait for this to get finished up and everyone can enjoy it because its really that good.
All i know is that Chubbz is still working on it but Swamp Goblin has given up and thinks this is as far as the rom will go, but i don't believe that. no pun intended but he got the evo 3d now and is off to bigger and better things lol
So im asking if anyone out their, dont even have to be a Myn or Virus but someone that can put some little more progress in this and it will be finished and ready to boot up for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks for hearing me out and hopefully word gets out to the right ears and they would want to lend a hand. i know it can be done.
May the force be with you all

Quick question.....I'm a long time Android user and rooter and I remember back ineligible the G1 and MyTouch 3G days there was a motoblur port and pretty much everything was running including cams and wifi.....do you think you guys can look into those roms and see what those devs did to get it working?? I mean it may be worth a shot......

Ill do a little research and post in a sec.....

Is this port further along than the WP7 port?

didn't even know there was a WP7 port, never seen it in the 4g development forum. so i would have to say yes.
Like i said, all this needs is a cam fix and wifi and its ready to go

Light years ahead of the WP7 port....not bashing either I would love to see wp7 work out on the Evo especially since its going to be retired from sprints lineup soon.....but of course porting an android rom with a skin on top of it to a device already running android is easier than porting a whole different OS.....

The wp7 is vaporware its like the webos port....light years away LOL. You'd probably see an iOS port before wp7. I still have my evo id love to check out this droid x port.

Cmon dude sell your EVO bro, come to the darkside, there's ways. I know 3 people personally that called to have their upgrade reset then traded in evo to target for 150 and paid 50 bucks for 3D. If they did it in my city I would have gone that route. 50 bucks only! I love my og EVO too much to get rid of her though...

Well they might not be laughing too long with Google's purchase of Moto. Never know where I'll spend MY money next. They ain't the only game in town. I just posted that on FB

Unbelievable. What is wrong with HTC? I can't believe they'd want to alienate users of one of their recent phones like this.

I saw this on their site
"HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. We continue to work with our partners on this, check back often for ongoing updates about unlockable devices."
Which means if Sprint says NO, I guess HTC's hands are tied.

Can someone post a link? I wish to speak my mind

My thinking exactly,I keep coming to remmember when agrbren announced he'd found an exploit ? Then talked to HTC about said exploit,Wondering with a hint of conspiracy if that hole exists in our kernel and they are working to close it? But then they wouldn't have released the 3d and Sensation kernel so fast> just rambling Tirerd need to go to bed, long night tonite.

They are busy there, but they focus on Samsung Phones.... I checked there daily when I used a Transform...
FYI, I don't recommend Samsung phones... They have nice specs, but need replacement Roms to really shine, and even then they still have issues.... My biggest gripe was no CM7 port....

Considering its a petition to htc and not sprint. Its to let htc know that its customers are asking for a new slider, whether it be a gsm or cdma doesnt matter. People are wanting a new android slider smart phone.
