Why is there no development for the thrive?? - Thrive General

Seems to me the thrive is one of the 2 clear winners among android tablets. So what gives? Does the thrive have STD's or is there something I'm missing? Full size ports, replaceable battery. I mean the thrive is all that android represents. I want to buy one but I can't pull the trigger until I find out why there are zero dev's on this devive.
Thanks

Check out TabletRoms.com and ThriveForums.org.

There's a new Thrive model shipping later this year. According to Engadget a dual core at 1.5 mhz - not quad core but I wouldn't be surprised if they bump it up to quad.
Perhaps that's why?

How do you still have a xda account. And why do I want to go to some substandard forum. I'm just buying a Asus prime.

Don't be crackpot, we are here to learn, not read your whining. This section for the thrive, and not happy with it or want something else
go to that forum. I love my thrive, price, $299, full size ports, and great developers, can't ask for more.
Sent from my Thrive, rooted and looking for more.

There are developers working with the Thrive. They just aren't on this forum because it doesn't pay any attention to the device. We have custom roms and overclocking and we've developed workarounds for some of the known issues/shortcomings. Why you would call it substandard is beyond me...just sounds like someone speaking from ignorance.

You know it is people like you on this forum that has made me move on to a different forum for all my development. I am a long time member of XDA, but just got tired of how a lot of people flamed individuals for asking questions. We are supposed to be here to help out. Although I even get tired of answering the same questions over and over, I will still help an individual and at a minimum, point them to the answer. Then I will let them know that reading and searching goes a long way. That is the way it should work. Being told that that has been aswered 100 times already does no one any good. So, like you have been told, if you do not like the Thrive, then more power to you. Go get the Asus Prime and go bother them.

Unless you have actually looked and read the forum and checked out what has been done I would say that you are nothing but a simple minded troll that needs to be ignored!!!! Maybe you should get a ipad it seem it would fit you perfect!!!

I swear, I don't understand it. All this rooting, then all the post's about what doesn't work right, after rooting. Maybe the reason there's not too much development for the Thrive, is because it doesn't need any? I like my Thrive bone stock, with the latest upload. It works fine, no problems, no complaints. I also have a Dell Streak also bone stock. Now flame away boys...............

You are correct. I do like being rooted, but I stick with a fully stock ROM that is rooted. That is also the ROMs I offer.

devs have been awfully quite

I think sommthing big is coming. It's been a week since anything big even roms! Im confident in this community and yesterday there was an unlocked boitloader topic that was removes because it gave to.much info. How often does that happen. I didn't get t read through all of it because once I was done with page one it said it no longer existed. Im super excited let's rejoice

This is weird.. -_-
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
One of the reasons it has been quite is because there is an update soon. Kind of pointless to make a rom (or new version of an existing one), and have to redo it again to make it work with the new update.
Also that topic was deleted because the op was posting an IM convo that the developer didn't want being made public. It didn't really prove anything conclusive.
It also doesn't help that devs have to make a bunch of worthless posts like this one so we can reply our post in the dev area.
I have info for 2 different threads in there, but since I'm too new, I can't respond. Eventually, I'll get the minimum junk post quota done, and can tell them what the nvflash method described will and will not do. Till then, I'll just keep playing around silently...
Your right but even after the Op deleted the convo the whole.thread was removed. Im just saying a hint of optimistic outlooking

There is nothing wrong with optimism, I agree; however, until there is an actual way we have to be careful because they don't want moto finding out and then quickly fixing it.
The real risk is moto blocking methods we use to gain root, or to back flash to an older SBF...

drock212 is correct, the devs are hating the dev subforum at the moment because of all the useless posts and information. If you jump on IRC and STAY QUIET UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY you learn a lot about whats going on, as well as learn some new things about how your phone works. That's what I've been doing for the past few weeks and it's helped a lot.

[Donation]Atrix 4G MIUI Port

A lot of people have been interested in getting MIUI on the Atrix and FRAMEWORK over at miui.us has stated that he has gotten some progress on this port but is stuck at the point of having no Atrix to test his port on. He is known for porting MIUI to multiple devices. FRAMEWORK said that if he got his hands on the device, it could take a few days to get a working port on our Atrix.
Anyone interested in donating to this dev getting his hands on a Atrix, post on the thread. From there, I guess he will have to set up a way to take the donations or we can put something together. Either ways, this is an awesome opportunity for Atrix users who want a polished and sleek looking ROM.
You have to start it with the necessary half of the phone cost, by XDA rules.

We pretty much have a stable cm7 if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App
Our CM7 is stable but is missing camera functionality and few other things. But IMO its stable.. no reboots here
I personally do not think donation threads should be allowed in xda at all without proof of progress. I know he has ported to several devices already, but that is what the donations links on their website is for. I have also seen several threads like this raise hundreds of dollars to get a dev a device and they release one thing and support it for only a week or two and never hear from them again. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult anyone.
I tend to agree, donation threads just aren't right. We are moving towards paying devs more and more. at this rate, it will be I won't help unless i get paid this amount. Kinda what this thread is, isn't it. He can't\won't get it done unless somebody buys him a phone. We have done that already at least once here. Maybe that dev would offer up the phone already purchased to this dev so he can do his part, then he can pass it on to the next.....

I completely agree. These donation threads are getting a bit aggressive and we've already been burned once.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Now that I've read the last few comments, I realize I totally agree as well. When I first saw this thread, I voted Maybe So, because honestly I was like "Yeah, let's get this going so we can get MIUI ASAP!!" but now I'm realizing...it probably won't make it go any faster, and we will really probably have it VERY soon after a full CM7 is released (whenever that is...), and if people want to THEN they can start donating to the guy. But to donate before hand? I didn't realize until just now how foolish that could be!
As Atrix users, we've seen plenty of devs take the loot and then split, so it'd be risky to do that again.
Besides, I've seen on the MIUI site a thread that lists some devices they're working on, and the only things on the Atrix to do list that aren't there are Working CM7 and Working MIUI. I'll go look for a link and bring it back here if anyone wants it
i thought i saw a thread that someone was already working on a miui build

The previous Atrix that was given to a dev was Koush, right?
Does framework NEED an atrix to finish porting? I mean I'd be willing to be a Guinea pig to help him on the parts where he needs to actually test it out...

Haha thanks, that saved me some time.
So yeah, I mean it should be said that this ALSO doesn't guarantee MIUI...but at least we know that we should wait for CM7 until anything should really be done.
And milesjohnson makes a good point...instead of buying someone a device for them to use as they see fit, he could perhaps just do the same coding and have others that already have their own device testing it or something.

EVO Development split into 3 parts, sections for ROMs and kernels and guides/tweaks.
Then have it broken down by developer or by how recently it has been updated.

I think maybe a sticky listing AOSP vs. Sense would be cool.
Or maybe a new subforum called "Outdated development" that everything older than like 6 months could be moved to. Not complaining, just offering some thoughts.
That's one thing SDX does, is ad child categories per version, like listed above, ie. 2.1, 2.3, etc....

a ROMS subforum and a Kernel subforum would be nice. we dont need ports and betas subforums cuz that'll just be confusing, and we dont need a WIP subforum since everything is a WIP.
I've already tried talking to the mods of the Evo 4G forum and they didn't think it was a good idea. This was about a year ago though.
just read about what your looking for in the forums, it might be a pain in the ass but atleast you'll learn something. plus thats what the search button is for.

[protest][we need atrix 2 forums]

Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them, but the Atrix 2 doesn't? why? it's the successor of a great phone. Even if it's not the best phone ever, it still deserves a forum.
The question you should be asking is "why is this thread here? Why am I double posting into different sections of a forum including the dev forum? Why am I not using this thread?"
Because I've already used that thread, and we still don't have forums.
The "Occupy Atrix" approach isn't going to help you! Give XDA a chance. The phone just came out, has a relatively small following at the moment, and there are many phones which could use their own forum. Comments like "Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them" will get you nowhere!

I know the Atrix 2 was just recently released but they have forums for devices that aren't even being sold yet. They have a forum for the Sony tablet that has a total of 3 bs threads in the dev section. To me it's xda being biased towards a phone that's only being sold in the states. That's only my opinion of course, but it's been long enough. I honestly hope that requests keep coming.

XDA makes threads based on PERCEIVED popularity. The Toshiba Thrive did not have a forum for a while after release. (Along with others)
Get off your discrimination crap and learn to:
A) use another site
B) use the atrix forum with a [atrix 2] tag
C) vote and wait.
I'm not trying to be rude but these threads are annoying and serve no purpose but to make Atrix 1 users wish you would just leave our boards. If you want to discuss your phone here that's cool. If you just want to annoy people please do so elsewhere.

Lets just stop feeding this thread and just simply report it - along with any other ones that pop up. This is the ATRIX 1 Forum. Not the ATRIX 2 Forum, so all those with the A2 - have a little respect and stop cluttering OUR Forum.
Oh lord. Guys, just stop whining, all of you. The A2 is only gonna get a forum if it gets enough votes, simple as that. So figure out a way to generate the necessary votes and make it happen. As for the "this is the Atrix forum, not Atrix 2", c'mon guys, its still an Atrix. I understand ur tired of the whining, I get it, but u know you guys would be bitter if you were in our shoes. But either way, whining is never a good look.
