Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.

Don't get too excited. Just because he built it and booted it doesn't mean anything works yet.
If that's what you call porting, I'm in the middle of doing it too.
I tried building the source, it currently fails. And I don't know enough about repo and git yet to work with a certain commit, it took me long enough to figure out how to switch my working branch, lol.

My buddy had this great story in the same vein. He wasn't into phones per say, but he did have an addiction with COD for the PS3. I don't remember the exact details, but basically he had just finished fighting with his girl and he walked into the other room. He said he turned on the PS3 to play and you know that little "beep" the console makes when you first boot up. Yeah, well his girl heard that and that sound was enough to refuel the fire of the fight. Makes me laugh because I know when I'm in a fight with my wife, I would much rather be dicking around on my phone or reading XDA forums. haha

What's up guys...Just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'm excited to finally have an Evo. Unfortunately it's the 2.3.3 that I bought from a buddy on the cheap in mint condition so I didn't have to use an upgrade.
Had rooted and flashed the hell out of moment nonstop so I'm anxious to see the exploit soon for 4.24. I've been on the XDA community for a while now just reading as SDX would love to port over themes that you guys had over here.
Anyways, thanks for the knowledge I've already seen from the users in this community just by reading through so many threads you guys have put up.
Welcome. Former Moment owner here as well, also stuck with 2.3.3.

Sucks doesn't it? Man, I will say this, the devs for the Moment were awesome and they made the Moment 10x what it should it have been. That being said though, even a stock GB Evo kicks the **** out of it that's for sure.
But I loved my Moment strictly because of the guys at SDX and can't wait for the devs here to kick the door open on 4.24 so we can start playing again.
I agree. I enjoyed the Moment a lot but traded it toward this one when I was vacationing in Florida last month and could not get a gps lock to save my life. The last ROM I ran was Keylime. I see they ported a new 2.2 update for the Transform.
I had the worst luck with the moment. I went through three cuz theyre aweful phones with tons of glitches. Then they said they discontinued the moment so i got the intercept. Just as bad. Now im here with my wonderful evo

Fellow Moment owner/Dev here, too! Matter of fact, my old Moment just got sold by the guy I sold it to the other day, so it's still kicking. Most under appreciated phone ever.
It sucks you guys just coming onboard with the Evo are handcuffed with out root yet, but patience will prevail! And once you get it unlocked, be ready for a whole new world, compared to the Moment. Fortunately, a stock Evo is a hell of a lot better looking than a stock Moment!

Seriously? I think it's one of the worst I've owned. I'd rather have my TouchPro2. In fact, for a while I had both and often left the moment at home.
This thread brings a tear to my eyes. You mean, OP, that you actually took the time to read some of the information in our forums?
Hopefully we get more users like you in time. Welcome!

The Moment was hit or miss, but by under appreciated, think of any other phone that's been off the market for a year, and people are still actively dev'ing on it. I never had probs with mine. It was always good.

I have to agree. I love my Moment, it was just getting a little long in tooth. My son is currently using with DC13s ROM. The Evo is an upgrade though.
And OP, welcome to the Evo world. Be careful though. The otaku here are worse than the Apple fanboys.
Hell, I was one of the fortunate ones that had a Moment that didn't give me any issues. The only real issue I ran into was moving to 2.2 EB and losing my GPS capabilities. GPS always worked perfect when on 2.1 but that jump to 2.2 always killed my GPS period.
HipKat, I remember seeing you all over the SDX boards and there are thousands of your posts that helped me with my Moment, so many thanks for that.
GitHub, I remember seeing you on SDX as well and yes, I like to lurk and read before I post anything on boards. That being said, I knew the unfortunate circumstance of jumping to a 4.24 EVO even before I bought it, but as stated earlier, even a stock EVO is better than the maxed out Moment. But you DEVs over there at SDX made that phone astounding compared to what it was stock.
I'm just sitting like everyone else waiting for the geniuses to crack this 2.3.3 EVO....in due time.
TBH, I flashed back to my Stock/Rooted nandroid the other day, and it's not so bad, really. Of course, I was only there for a few mins to clear my GPS before flashing MIUI! lol
Glad I helped people out over there. Like here, I jumped in the pool headfirst!
Ditttto. Former moment here man name was Sgtstew76 over yonder at sdx. Man welcome over bro, GREAT PEEPS HERE IF you search before posting lmmfao.....
Hey are u rooted on that thing? Oh no...... well sit back and hold yer breath like the REST OF US......
I am still over at SDX but use the handle DarkPhoenix. It was already taken here it seems, so I used my secondary handle.
I thought I'd keep up the ideal that the general section is a bin for off-topic wonders.
So I want to love on this phone more.
I saw a quote in the GNexus forums from Anon9mouz in his siggy that made me long for the old days.
"I envy the dumb ones."
It made me really sad. I remember back when I first got into rooting. I found a couple review videos for Bubby323's AOSP Magic ROM, Andromeda by noobnl, and KyleCole's BOSS ROM(Reviews by Dash, before ACS). I also remember reading about Cognition ROM over on the Captivate forums. "You see, it boosts benchmark scores from 1100 all the way up to the mid-2500's". That was what got me interested really. I now know that that ROM was using Quadrant hacks, but it was the idea that I could unlock the power of my device. Watching an old Randy Shear video. I was so afraid I was going to break my phone. But when I finally did it felt so great.
I remember I jumped on board during the beginning of the DK28 era. Frankenstein, Quantum, Supernova, Viper, Nebula, Bonsai, and the ever great idea of CM6. I remember flashing all of them and running Quadrant(back when that really meant something to me). After all, CM6's benchmarks are what pushed me to root in the first place. I remember reading that benchmarks didn't mean as much as I thought, and when I saw noobnl load Quadrant into RAM and get an outstanding score, I decided to go with what felt best to me for the first time. I thought Bonsai was the smoothest and I appreciated how small Frankenstein was(though I hated the theme, but it was so cool how he was able to change it). I decided on Viper ROM because when you used the music player, you could pause/play/stop from the notifications tray. I didn't get the concept that they just added an updated application. I thought they were magical. Emotionless Beast was the first theme I ever flashed. And the first thread I started was about MIUI music. I couldn't find it anywhere, so I figure I'd post it. That was where I got my first thanks, and my first senior member scolding. Damn MysteryEmotionz. Talking down on the newbies. Especially that I knew he was just as bad as me at on point. Oh and I remember Zanderman! I remember watching him not root. And I remember the quest to getting him to the point where he was comfortable with it!
Then Mike_77, asdfghjkl, fusingblackrose, raymond, and I started where ahmgsk left off and ported MIUI 1.3.5. I originally was just decompiling for asdfghjkl, but I eventually started smali huning for myself and I got SMS working It was such a thrill. All of the builds we made we posted publicly for everyone to play with. Kind of like what happened with MIUI v4 and CM10 now. Free for all.
I remember how amazing it was when Rodderik released Genocide BEFORE official with 1.2GHZ overclock. That was a feat. And a few days later EB13 hit the market. That's when things began to change. I began theming. And became one of the best without using DreamForgottens accursed guide. Tim and I were up for hours going through XML files and smali just to see what we could tweak. I began work on Nebula Theme beta...and it was a disaster. Nebula Theme v1 came out as the first theme to feature Maddoggin's lock mod. And I was super proud.
I joined ACS around then. I remember it being such a big deal, how Tim built up to it and then didn't tell me until an unexpected letter from ACS head came in. I was accepted with ease. And given a nice article. I got an ACS email address and given all of the internal log ins. I even had to sign a non-disclosure at one point. That was back when ACS' name meant something to people. They were the only group that mattered then, and I got all sorts of praise just for being in. Nice then groups like ERA and IAP came into foreground. Too bad ACS was a waste of time. I remember SRF 1.2. And how everyone but me loved it. I was running BakedSnack you see. That was fast. Haha. Know what was something I kind of regret in a childish way? Not being able to flaunt around SRF 1.3. Oh yeah. It existed. And it blew away all others. New Twilight kernel, clean theme, fast fast fast, Chris41g's last gift to this forum. And it didn't even get released. At least I'll always have it. I remember VisionKernel. 1.2 was bricking phones and such. I always kept it for the insane overclocking(at the time). And I got to use 1.3 for a while too. Thomasskull you big dork.
I learned plenty of during the GB leaks. I was able to properly pack FB15(remember FB15? Yeah me neither). I made it a ODIN tar, and I released MY FIRST ROM! Stock+ I called it. It was just clean. And I was happy. I figured when official came around I would upgrade it. And when it did I released Mortify. But at this point I was painfully knowledgeable. Sure CM9 was fun, but it wasn't as cool as CM7 or DK28. That was the golden age of development on this device.
My most recent appreciation for this forum is Kennyglass123. I missed the whole Impaler era of moderating. And frankly, we never had a good moderator in the time that I've been here. When Kenny got promoted I was elated. Finally! A moderator that will watch our forum! Finally! A moderator with less of a life than me! He'll be SO punctual when responding to my PM's! And he has been, and he will. He's amazing. And he should probably start using the server space I set up for him...
Ignorance is bliss. And it's why my Galaxy Nexus won't ever compare to how I feel about the Epic. I literally love it. And I love the community it came with. I know we are spread far and thin, but I want you all to know that you're like a family to me. And I still recognize names, even on other phones. Thank you all, so much. You've made me who I am today.
UBER will always be Biggoron to me
And I remember this one guy. I think his name was flastnoles11. He's wasted SOOOOOOOO many of his thanks on me. I guess I am as hilarious as I whisper to myself at night...HE'S DOING IT AS WE SPEAK
And I dedicate this post to iSaint.
Oh yeah, I started that ****.
Started on one of my themes. He was really into calling first, so one day I took it and simply put "First. Sorry iSaint"
He replied with "Damn you!!!" or equivalent.
And then EVERYONE for a long while did it as well! And I mean everyone. Even lurkers then were doing it.
Good times.
Quite a journey you've had! Man hard to believe this is my first smartphone ever and already know the things I do! And uber will always be biggoron to me too! I know I loved this last mortify v2 and your cm9 theme was amazing (forget the name, the red one, haha) I jumped on this phone after the ec05 update and promptly rooted and flashed srf 1.2... good times... gonna hate it when I upgrade, but sometimes a little hate is a good thing :thumbup:
I was thinking about the first time I posted a thread, in the Q&A forum, trying to find the stock rooted EC05 tar. Ugothakd and this "Kennyglass" guy posted replies, like;"dude, did you check Dyehya's 'How to Unbrick your Epic' thread? Its right there!" I felt like such a moron, but Kenny was very encouraging. Come to find out he lives 20 minutes from me, originally from NY; kind of my "kindred spirit". Whenever I asked a question, he was the first to answer. I'm sure he regrets the day he gave me his Gtalk contact info...

How odd that just this morning I was thinking about how far things have come and the journey the Epic has had. You mention alot of what I was thinking but I was also remembering the journal/don't journal debates, RFS vs EXT4, battery calibration by discharging your battery then pulling the battery with the charge cord plugged in, CIQ just to name a few more. When was the golden age of development? For me it begins with the Epic since that is the first phone I even new could be improved by you guys.
Thanks for taking the journey and helping us lurkers out.

Ah yes. I remember all of that! I was all about calibration.
i was a journaling off kind of guy. But until MTD it was EXT4 4 life!
And when k0 found and removed ciq. And then it went kind of unnoticed for a long time. And then trav made such a big deal it set a ball in motion.
Thanks! Maybe i should just make a list of topics that arose with the Epic.

But I digress... Darkie is onto something here. I love to remember the old days. I learned to root at my youngest son's 11th birthday party. The laser tag place had free wi-fi, and I brought my laptop and watched all of Randyshears and DJR3Z' videos on rooting...

Your post got me thinking about how much I'm learning. Even if it is so late in the lifecycle of our phone. It'll be a bittersweet day, when I find my I9300 for a good price and move on from this phone. I'm sure I'll keep my Epic, although it'll be in eternal airplane mode. It'll make a nice crash machine, mini tablet, media center remote, etc.

Nice trip down memory lane! I finally jumped on the rooting and flashing with DK28 because I needed Flash to work on out Epics for my GFs website to show up. Then the Best Buy tech was walking around with his Epic flaunting his Froyo so sat my ass down and read and read. Flashed SuperNova first, then Midnight the next day, then determined to get the SuperNova bootani on Midnight, then Bonsai where I became part of that team, then the rest is history. Once the bug gets in you it is tough to get it out.
Nice Epic history my friend!
May the Epic live forever as the first of it's kind to boldly go where no phone has gone before with a slide out keyboard!

I remember when froyo went official OTA, and the freaking mayhem that ensued in that thread trying to teach the noob how to pull it.
And Zanderman! Darkie, the zanderman saga was amazing. And I remember he was waiting for....the lock screen mod? Yeah, I think it was that...I remember referencing it in that thread ("somebody tell zanderman") and the OP didn't know what I was talking about...so sad lol.
I've been here pretty much since the beginning, and although my OG epic is my secondary phone, I still have this forum favorited and pop in every day.
What amazes me darkie, is that you seriously lurked for that long. I heard of you and always thought you were on a different device. That's some serious stealth, considering my time spent on xda rivals the mods. To think that you were here before dk28 (those who don't know dk28 should spend some time in the zombie threads) amazes me.
Oh yeah and...when's tmiller gonna get tv-out working?

I got my Epic like 2 weeks before Froyo went OTA I kept checking every day to see if I got it. After a few days I got ticked off and started searching and came across XDA and haven't left LOL.
I LOL'd on the tv-out.
Well gentleman some really bad news :crying: . My Beloved EVO Shift is Gone :crying: . It has moved on to a better place. I've been Uber sick these last few days, Flu. Truly feel like death warmed over. In the midst of feeling like Poo it was knocked off the nightstand, onto a hardwood floor. I was groggy, with a fever. Strike one screen cracked. Then in the middle of the night my dog has a mental break. Knocks the Shift off the nightstand into a Puke Bucket Strike two. Then I fish it out, Yuk. Holding it gingerly. It slips hits the floor again. Strike three, and out. This time the Screen came off . So long story short, no more Shift. Called Sprint, they gave me an SGS3 for Free. So that's what I'm rocking now. Still not rooted, haven't even signed in to Google on it yet. But I will be still be frequenting the Shift forms. Also I will maintain the Roms I always have. Will also keep up on trying to get new stuff for the Shift. Best forum I've ever had the luck to be a part of on XDA . I am moving on, but not leaving. Thank you gentleman for being awesome .

Very sad to hear this, I hope you enjoy your new phone and hopefully recover too. Sucks about the shift though, at least it went out quickly and not in pieces.
But what are your first impressions of SGS3? My upgrade is at the beginning of February and I was thinking about getting that one.

Thank you man . I wish it would. But it's completely FUBAR . As far as I can tell. Still have the Tester, but it has a Bad ESN. Plus the Power button does not work.

Can't really say at this point. Haven't used it enough. It's not even Rooted. Just turned it this morning.

Not as easy as that . I am sick, and I was not in the mood for dealing with anyone. Especially after the situation with my Shift. My wife was speaking with them. They started giving her a hard time, about TEP. So I got on the line, and told her to just cancel my service. All the lines are up for an Upgrade ( 10 Lines ) . She changed her tune really quick. They next day Aired the SGS3 to me.

No problem, but good luck with the new phone, it really sucks that your Shift had to go so unexpectedly
Like strapped365 said, I never thought I'd see the day lol.

Oh man that sucks! I'm speachless...
Oh noooooooooooooooo!
Possibly the worst way for the Shift to go out lol
Wow, that sucks. I've been leaning towards the SGSIII myself. Your work will surely be missed around here though. Don't be a stranger, and I hope you get to feeling better.
Check the Optimus G.

good to hear you're better and liking the new phone. Knowing you will be over at the S3 forums may be the biggest perk for getting that phone I've heard so far

Damn sorry to hear about that mess. I've been playing with yours and strapped365's ROMs and mods for the past two years.
Thanks for your investment in the speedy.

Strapped365 and I thank you. Strapped is one Hell of a Dev, that's for sure . But I'm not gone for good. You really can't be once you've been on the Shift Forum. The people here are to Kool, helpful, and just generally nice. You can't stay away from people like that. Plus I've learned a lot from people here. So I have to pay it back .
