Why would the EVO shift get sense 2.1 and the original only get 1.0

I just don't understand why the lesser model EVO got a better sense version guess that's how they are making us want the 3d even more

The only thing "lesser" about the Shift is the screen size. Aside from the name and Sense, they're two completely different phones and the Shift is the more powerful one.

The real question is, what does Sense 2.1 add that the Evo can't handle?

Not that there aren't other posts about this but...
Let's not forget the almighty Dollar!
If they give it to the EVO one less reason to buy a new 3D!

Guess I need to check out the shift I was offered the choice of a shift or ns4g to replace my EVO due to being returned 4 times for warranty they both just seemed built cheap light n plastic feeling ill look at it a little more doesn't seem to be much development for shift either

HTC EVO 4G: Sense 1
HTC EVO Shift: Sense 2.1
HTC Evo 3D: Sense 3
That sounds like MARKETING?

Shift > Evo 4g

What was the original question? This doesn't make too much sense.

Um, yah, anyways. I'm just glad we have devs who take the time to port the updated versions if sense to those who want to stay on the cutting edge...

Now now I didn't excuse any one in this thread of anything

This is actually my 1st time posting sumthin on the forums but i've been rooted for the last 3 months jus 2 lazy 2 comment lol, but all my questions i have usually get answered bouncing aroung from rom to rom and using search and i kinda mostly do that to get around the "passionate" debates that pop up time to time lol anywho everybody have a good nite

Thread cleaned and infractions issued where needed.
I'm surprised by some of the members here posting and quoting such utter rubbish. Some of you have over 1000 posts and really should know better, and try to set an example. Does anyone here really find it productive to troll, and reply to trolls?
Sort it out, and grow up please.

My wife has the shift, she won't let me root it for her but hers has sense 1.0. I've checked everywhere and have not found an update for the shift anywhere, did they get a ported rom that brought sense 2.1 with it or am I missing something somewhere.

My wife has the shift and I don't see what's so amzing about it compared to the EVO. Granted I'm rooted and she's not, but I played with it when she first got it and now only touch it when she screws something up. All I have to say is Mikg, its absolutely amazing.

I think it was leaked awhile back so it should be out soon.

What's up with our GB release??

So, its been 5 days since our official release of gingerbread but only two roms are using it. Hell I'm even running a Rom built off the shift port. Is it junk or something?? I figured by now, we would have a ton of devs using it. Not trying to raise Hell, just curious. Figured a Rom built off of it would be much more stable and faster than a port from another phone.

Because the official official is coming out on the 9th. The 3rd was the pre release. So the devs are waiting. As already stated, patience.

I'd guess that its because it is only sense 1.0. MikG and Synergy are both solid and stable, and they have sense 2.1. I think that for most people, going back to sense 1.0 isn't acceptable. Especially when the shift ports are as stable as they are. I'm sure someone will work on the OTA rom though.

Thanks. I wasn't aware it was sense 1.0. That's really disappointing. As for the comments about the release date being the 9th, what makes a difference? Is it gonna change in some drastic way? I doubt it.

You answer yourself the Question, it its becuase the Update is JUNK, only usefull thing is the Kernel and the files Devs can take out, to make Ports better, other than that is the same s#it....

Nope.
We're loving the recent push of Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates, and the latest group to get a sweet taste of the Gingerbread will be HTC Evo 4G owners.
Sprint announced this morning that it will begin rolling out an over-the-air update on June 6 to deliver the latest software release. As usual, the update will come in batches and users will receive a notification on their smartphones to let them know when the update is ready for download.
However, if you simply can't wait, there will be a manual download option starting June 3, where you can access the update by going to the Menu option on the Evo 4G and then selecting Settings > System updates > HTC software update. You can find more details and instructions on Sprint's Community site.

It's so weird my EVO stays luke warm during charging periods. I always find it odd how some can be totally not hot, and then others will get extremely hot. I would have to say my Pre would always get the hottest on the Touchstone.

Oh, one last thing. Cant Cyanogen use our release to make CM7 more stable?? I think sense roms and AOSP roms both have benefits that I like but its beyond me why Cyanogen cant get GPS to work without having to tickle your sphincter with your big toe everytime you switch roms.

[Q] What does "OG Evo" mean?

It's driving me nuts. I usually can figure out these acronyms, but I'm stumped.

Original Gangster Evo. Froyo Days

You just got your first thanks, because I was wondering that too, and now I been seeing another one KK... something, something Evo.. . wtf is that????

rather amusing that people don't know what OG means lol not trying to bash just amusing. thought it was something almost everyone knew.

Well I Google'd OG, and found the Urban Dictionary definition, but knowing that some acronyms could have multiple meanings, I wasn't sure.
Thanks BigSmoke for clarifying!

Hahahahahaha now this is funny your screen name is old school (aka OG) HipKat and you did not know what OG meant... I would of lost money on the fact that you would of known that one....lol
OG = Original Gangster
OG = Original
OG = First Evo now that there is a 3D one
OG = The One that started it all....
Lol

TBH i had no clue if that was right not, But i know OG's as Original Gangsters and theres Froyo and GB Evo's. I just got high and put two and two together, ya know. It works.

Well you put OG before a phones name when it's succesor is released hence the evo 3d was released so now the Evo 4g is the OG Evo 4g same with the droid incredible Now that the droid incredible 2 is out its the og incredible.....same with droid 1..droid 2 is now out so its the og droid.....basically it means original lol

Buggy Cupcake 1.5 ROM

Enyo said:
I finally found a cupcake 1.5 SDK And actually, it boots. I'm shocked.
Its slow as fu**. The launcher is so old (if anyone knew of the gray launcher that you have to slide up (it was ditched in 2.1))
Even though, its old, I'm still going to release it. Its a look in the past and play around. I used jts GPS fix kernel and yea, GPS does not work (well its on 1.5 so nothing works anyway, remember the G1)
Ill release it soon. Its fun, slow, market is so old (black and white old) and won't update to the newest market.
I know its not necessary, but I wanted to port all versions of android to the fascinate. Who needs new? Why not flash back in time 2 years ago, cupcake was the biggest hit and phones like the moment (that had a arm v6 processor) were treated like dual core phones we have today. The G1 Also was high end back then with its
"Fastest processor (456MHz) in a mobile phone"
-Engadget
Or the moment had the
"Fastest phone ever" -Sprints Slogan.

I keep seeing all these teenage girls with Droids now and they're like, "what's the bfd? iphone and android have like, the same apps?" I just wish all these new adopters could see this version of Android and the app selection. They'd really appreciate how far the platform has come. I'm still blown away by gingerbread and i had crazy high expectations for ICS and it still blew me away. I will probably flash this just for nostalgia's sake. Thanks enyo!

Idk.. ..maybe try out ICS? Most are still in alpha but I think jaredthegreat has his in beta. Worth giving it a shot. I'm running it and have no problems whatsoever besides the reported bugs.

Try some apps that only work on Rooted phones. AdFree Android comes to mind, LBE Privacy Guard as well.
Most definitely check out UOT Kitchen as well ( http://uot.dakra.lt ) I think I have flashed more files I made on UOT then ROMS.
