Regreting htc evo shift?

Nobody take me wrong but at times I kinda regret not going with the evo just because its forums are fast moving and really active. like I said none take me wrong because I love my shift its so smooth. I thought all android was like this but I'm proud to say my phone runs android smooth. I thought this phone was going to be a hit like the evo. I'm hoping in general things take off. Anyone having the same feelings about the evo shift?

Development is going fine, most of the development goes on behind the scenes and there are a lot of non-public builds out there.
Most of the action is in the IRC right now. I'd say about 1/2 of the builds are on the irc only. Some of the best builds are on the irc, or released early with bug fixes in irc. Things have taken off, but it's mostly behind the scenes.
I don't regret getting a shift at all =P

In no way do i regret getting a shift

No regrets here! My girlfriend has the evo so I've played with it since it came out and this was my upgrade from the hero. I love this phone! Lol

I'm rooted but still running the stock rom. The phone runs smoother than the Evo (especially when running live wall papers) and battery life is much better when the phone is in use. I'm not blown away by the phone like when I first purchased the Evo, but I still think the Shift is a better phone. I thought I would miss the bigger screen of the Evo, but the sharpness of the Shift's screen almost makes up for it.
All I'm waiting for in a custom rom is one that has toggle switches in the pull down notification bar.

My perception of the Shift is that development does move slower than I had hoped/expected. That's just my perception coming from the Hero. (Not slighting those doing the good work.) However, my "regret" comes from personal tastes.
- I don't need a physical keyboard and the added bulk has started to bug me
- The keyboard slider isn't as tight as I feel it should be, and makes the phone feel a little more cheap that I'd prefer.
- Small design elements bother me (Chrome trim and circles, blue...)
The main "regret" feeling now comes from the Nexus S 4G that's rumored to be announced at CTIA. Likely selling the Shift to pick that up if it's released relatively soon.

Did you remove the plastic from the back? If you did, that's probably why. I left it on and it's pretty tight.

Ahh me too!i wish i would have waited for the nexus from sprint but my heros charger port failed so i had to get something fast.=/ im have faith for the shift development.the hero rom development was amazing!!it made me love the phone.Im just looking forward to what everyone can do with the shift also im hoping in a camcorder mod or something like the nexus one did =] im sure it is possible.im starting to get into cooking some roms and everything but i just havent gotten it all down yet.my shift makes me wanna learn though!alot more than my hero!and the keyboard does feel a bit loose after a while but ive always had that problem with phones with slide out keyboards.i just hope it doesnt mess up like one of my old phone that caused the screen not to be touch able anymore.Dont Regret!give it time!

It could be that I came from a touch pro 2 and we were spoiled with roms and options for android annd unbuntu. But I am glad I switched to the evo shift as it is smooth I've never had a phone this smooth.

Widgetsoid. Download it. Your wait is over.
I'm very happy with my phone. It's as if HTC remade my Moment awesome.

The Shift is still a young platform, give it time. The EVO has had almost a year head start on the Shift as far as development goes, so it's no surprise that the community would be booming over there.
I too had this same question when it came time to upgrade. As a Hero CDMA user, I enjoyed a fantastic, active community, even for a phone that was based on ARMv6. If a phone of that caliber STILL has a community as vibrant as it is, the Shift is SURE to foster a wonderful kitchen of ROM creation and hacking. We've already got some excellent folks on board (I'm looking @ you NFX!) and more will come as people upgrade their phones.
I much prefer HTC builds to the likes of Samsung. The slide on my Shift is taught and feels solid - I too left the plastic on the back / edges. When the time came to select a phone, I tried everything at T-Mobile and Sprint and the only phone that would have enticed me away from the Shift would have been the G2. That second gen Snapdragon / Adreno 205 rocks my socks. So fast, so smooth.
I love this phone.
(ps. I also did not want a physical keyboard, but I'm falling in love with it, ESPECIALLY when ssh'ing into a box or using the terminal emulator)

Im running mikfroyo on the evo. I just got my girlfriend a shift. Has anyone tried the mikshift beta yet. Ill be rooting her shift in the next few days

I'm sorry for your loss..

I have a 2 year old terror for a son, that is constantly playing with my phone. The blue htc case has been the best purchase i have made in a long time. It definitely beefs up the phone enough to withsatnd majority of his punishment. He did manage to break something because my keyboard lights rarely work... But thats nothing compared to if he would crack my screen... Come on root so i can get a new phone with working keyboard lights.

We all feel your pain . Guess it's going to be a minute before your able to do anything for the community . Dammm you HTC .

you could always try a different Launcher so that it will look different...

If you're lookin for a sense 3.0 like lockescreen try Agile Lock from the market, been using it on my evo for a week or so and loving it. In order to get all the functionality out of it you'll have to download 4 or 5 apps from within the agile lock app. They're all in Japenese or Chinese, can't read either so not sure which language it actually is, but just download and install them then you can delete them. Once the app is unlocked it functions almost just like the 3.0 lockscreen.

I didn't care if anyone responded. Sorry for eating valuable forum space in the shift forum. When root comes back around, this thread will be pointless. Feel free to delete it. But the other person was right. This is the gloom thread. No root for the old hags phone makes me sad. If jock itch makes you sad, tell us about them red balls.
As far as children, I think my 15 y.o. looked at some pR0n on my shift the other day. I spent hours deciding how to sterilize it, in the event that he diddled himself, without blitzing the circuits. My first impulse was to soak it in bleach for a day or two. How's that for some FML?????

umm...
this will probably sound really stupid, so just remember that I come from the easy-to-root epic forum.
I assume it's not possible to RUU back to 2.2, root, unlock, then flash gingerbread?
I guess my question really is, why doesn't this method work?

Because the RUU checks the hboot and says you've got the wrong one and fails.

I know your saying is correct, but if it is simply just that, how come with revolutionary on other phones you can run a RUU and it'll reset the phone but keep s-off? Or is it because revolutionary just does something crazy?

Legacy fits to be fair, even if the activity isn't that low with the awesome work going on for ICS

Legacy or not I'm still developing for the Hero

agreed I have seen some amazing stuff come from the Hero devs lately. Keeps me satisfied until i decide to upgrade.

Legacy or not we're still kickin!!

yep the devs here are great... i love my little Hero.

They actually did this before and switched us back because of the uproar. I doubt we will see the enthusiasm of the days of yore. Too many people have left us with the outpouring of 4g choices and enough built in memory to not have to use a tweak such as Firerat's.
It doesn't matter where we are located, it' still good of a device for devs not to take up the challenge to get something impossible running on it. Remember "they" said we didn't have the hardware to run froyo. I guess the reality is that they didn't have the balls.

Cm9 alpha release for shift???

I've seen posts about cm9 alphas in other threads. Has there not been one released for the shift? I guess these are compiles by folks but I haven't noticed one mentioned for the shift. I was just curious if any of you guys know of one or have ran one. Maybe I have overlooked it.

Rest assured, there will be a million threads about it on here when it's posted. He's working on it still.

Hasta La Vista

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better. My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

I may be seeing you soon. Lol want to jump ship from this sprint bandwagon so bad.
Thanks Xbox for all the amazing ROMs, support, and dedication making this phone last far beyond any other phones of it's time. Love seeing people's brand new phones with inferior software than that of my 2 year old epic! Keep on keeping on man. Optimus G folks don't know what they are about to get

Kenny was refering to the discussion of other phones.. Not the Goodbye in general to Xboxfanj.

Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

Go with an Optimus if you can. My dad has the S3 and it is nice, but worse than the OG. I'll miss all you. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Good luck to all of you.

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
