Will there be a custom rom scene?

I'm thinking of coming over from an iPhone 3gs and although I love this phone, I think a robust custom ROM scene is a must for me. I tried the Captivate, but the broken GPS and bad AT&T service was enough for me to return it and wait and see how the Epic 4g works out.
I know the Evo has a lot more attention, but I'm not really willing to give it a go with all of its nasty hardware flaws.
Thoughts? Maybe I should just wait for a different phone (but I love this one >_>)?

The Evo has a been scene because Developers got a free one in the last Google I/O. The Epic 4G will take sometime until a fully development community is in place. By that time there will be better phones, since we are near Christmas.

This is a really good point. Hmm, I have some thinking to do I suppose.

That was a pretty ridiculous reply on which to base your opinion. Of course there will be custom ROMs. There's one about to be released any day now, and this phone's only been out for about 5 minutes. This is a killer device... the chefs will come out of the woodwork shortly. They always do.
P.S. See here.

+2, heh... Hardware flaws aye, well my evo is pretty much flawless...
No offense, but you kinda sound like your talking out of your @ss & need to do your homework... The epic community will grow rampant in due time...Not trying to sound like every other flaming jerk, but err, ahh...
Sent from my phone.

I know this is near impossible, but I'm hoping for a ROM with HTC Sense element support. I want me some flipping clock action.

The Moment still has a rom scene and that thing is a disaster that Samsung flat out refused to fix (ie: They couldn't and just abandoned the unit).
I have a feeling the GPS issue is actually solvable on the Epic and I'm praying so is the nasty power usage killing peoples batteries when they want to do crazy stuff like use the phone for something other than making a phone call.
The only concerning thing is the stupid upload cap that makes absolutely no sense. I mean, Samsung HAD to learn a lesson from MomentGate right? They HAVE to actually support this... Rite?

Sad day.. Had to move to verizon..lol

Well im not happy..but wife moved us to verizon ( work ) hate to leave sprint.. and my hero.. but no choice in the matter atm.. Wife rules...lol
Will stick around though.. The hero section is what made me stick around.. you guys rule.. Plus still have 2 hero's laying around to tinker with.. Or sale etc.lol
Anyway.. guess its on to the darkside ( verizon ) wish me luck.lol At least its not att and iphone's right!!

we will be moving to them as well this winter. what kind of phones did you get? i think you can put your hero on verizon as well so you know.

Verizon has some awesome phones.. IMO the Incredible is still one of the best balanced in terms of performance and form factor

Agreed, I'd love an incredible

Wife got 2 incredible's for a penny each.. They will arrive wed.. etc..
Really I can't wait.. cause like everyone has said its the perfect balance of size and performance...Lol few co-workers have EVO's And they are always asking me how to do this and that.. Got to admit the EVO is nice.. but still a tad too big for my taste.. 3.6 to 4 inch would be my max on screen size..
And fixxxer I dont care for moto. never have.. and never will. lol same with samsung.

Wow, nice, I'd love to have an Incredible, and I agree, I only like HTC Android phones

HTC is by far the best because of their overall build quality and support. Samsung and Motorola are both mixed in terms of which devices they support, and the pace at which they release updates. Some devices like the Behold II and almost all lower end Motorola phones get the shaft and hardly get any updates. Half of them are still at 1.5 or 1.6... but only the high end ones like Droid, Droid X, and Droid 2 (basically all Verizon ones) get satisfactory updates. I think Samsung is similar. HTC is much more consistent.
I don't think you'll miss the Hero at all, except for maybe the hardware buttons instead of capacitive buttons. But I tried out my friend's Incredible, and man was it smooth.. and it was the stock ROM

That is highly debatable with today's selection like the G2 and even the MyTouch Slide. Both keyboards are superior to the Droid's IMO.

Lol everyone has favorites. but myself really don't have too much time to invest in finding the perfect phone. Im sure the moto is nice. same for the epic's etc.. Hell even the iphone is nice to a degree.. The hero is just a phone.. but with it came this nice section on xda which to me made having and using it a joy.lol I always visit diff sections looking for themes and such.. But the hero section seems to have matured unlike other sections..
I almost feel like depressed. lol been with sprint since 97.. feels like a divorce..
I think the INC will be a nice phone.. once I strap my seidio 3500 mAh batt on it..

enjoy your new phone. hopefully when i move to verizon there will be a new webos device or a high end android phone.

I think the INC is pretty highend.. screen size aside... lol I mean its not a monster like the evo etc.. but spec wise should be alot better than the hero ive been running all year..
I mean outside of the few games.. wth would I need a dual core chip and a giant screens etc. for right now anyway? To open my email faster and see more of it,lol
Just joking of course.. but really the INC should keep me happy for awhile.. til i get bored...etc..

Atrix, here I come

Just ordered an Atrix yesterday.
It should arrive next tuesday.
I'm using a Samsung Captivate right now. Having an unlocked bootloader is great, but it seems if the phone is s*it, then It will remain s*it no matter what rom you flash to it. I can't understand why a phone with a 1ghz cpu needs a patch to avoid lags. GPS never worked well, and with latest roms it never worked. Last time I had good gps was with JI6, but for some reason, it doesn't work anymore, no matter what rom I flash to it.
Then we have the Inspire 4g. I had that phone in mind before ordering the Atrix, but seeing how s*itty the battery was I decided in favor of the Atrix. Why in the world they put a 1230 mAh battery in a device with a huge 4.3" screen?. What were they thinking?. Also, why only 4gb of internal storage?. These two points were the ones that made me decide against the Inspire. It may have lots of roms avalaible, but it doesn't have good autonomy. So I may have total control of my phone, but It won't stay alive a whole day.
Then we'll have the Galaxy S 2 in a few months. I will never buy a Samsung phone again. Samsung proved to be s*it with my Captivate and almost with all the SGS series.
So I ended buying an Atrix. I really hope it doesn't disapoint me like the Captivate did. I don't care if I can't flash a different rom every week. If everythings work fine out of the box, then I don't see the point to flash it everyday.
What do you guys think?. I've seen lots of threads hating this phone. Threads like "I returned my Atrix for an Inspire". Is the Atrix a good phone?.
I hope I have taken the right decision.

welcome i still have a captivate as backup but there is nothing to compere between these two phones....maybe amoled screen is lil better than atrix one but i got used to it already.

I think you are right. Don't forget the Inspire is a full ounce heavier. I tried handling the Inspire and it was very uncomfortable. Not only that it looked like and felt like a clunker. I really did not like that silver thing at the top or the weight. Definitely not sleek and fashionable. One reason I left the iPhone was the big, square mini computer shape which is kind of like the Inspire. I had a Captivate and was flashing the roms to correct all the difficulties it had. Atrix works out of the box and works very well. It is fast and handles both phone calls and e mail well. It is light years ahead of where the Captivate is at even if you do use all the custom roms. No battery problems with the Atrix. No overheating. No lag. The only way I was able to even come close with the Captivate was when I used Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or Gingerbread. I have a Galaxy S II on order but I may cancel. Atrix is that good.

I would join you and almost did. But i hate locked down phones. Its kinda like leasing a car. But the atrix is still sick. And im sure its great... I do still want one lol.
And please watch the swearing.... We have alot of young users.

Atrix is very fast phone,but camera picture quality is suck

5 days into my switch from the iphone 4 and im still extremely satisfied. Welcome and good luck!!!

I liked the atrix a lot but admit I sold it and am going to give the inspire a try. The battery on the atrix was great.
If you keep the atrix check my signature for a cheap hd entertainment kit. My buyer took just the phone.
Good luck with the atrix.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. This is very encouraging . I'm not nervous anymore about having bought the phone.

I had mine since the first batch of pre-orders went out...at first I did not like the colors on the Atrix got use to the Captivate OLED..but then I started to really test the phone..movies, calls, web, texting,GPS with Copilot, voice commands..running apps in the background and foreground..I tried by best to find something wrong with the Atrix as it was out of the box..it never glitched..ever.... I was shocked..Captivate would have croaked...and rebooted itself.
Then I said man..the battery on this is runs out really quick..well there is a dual core processor in the thing running at 1Ghz..so I rooted it then applied SetCPU..under clocked...then tried to crash it again...I failed..yes I got some lag after trying to run 5-6 apps in the background and playing a movie with the CPU set to 600hz...but I can tell you it never crashed or rebooted on me...so I say..I can deal with the extra high res screen with natural skin colors and locked boot loader..now I enjoy an average of 80-90hrs on one charge..with normal phone use..and about 45-55 hrs under heavy use...and yes I turn off data mode when not used..now if someone can figure out to switch between 4G/3G down to Edge mode..I think I can increase battery life even more and still have very good performance..with the ability to go full throttle as needed.
One day one of our master developers on this forum or other..will find a way to unlock it..then it will be really game on..
That's my story on the Atrix vs Captivate..

I love the Atrix, u made a great decision

I moved from the Captivate to the Atrix too.
At first I was worried, reading about MotoBlur...screen...etc...
Of course the best way to evaluate a product is to daily-use, at least for me. There's only so much I can read without trying it out the way I would use it.
Got my Atrix on Monday lunch, and I'm getting used to the screen, the power/fingerprint location, MotoBlur stuff...
Wouldn't say it's a perfect phone, but it's enough for my needs

How about the dock kit?
How was the resolution of the atrix?. How was the entertaining kit? -useful or boring?. I have a Nexus one with Gingerbread, runs pretty fast, very good at calls and battery, internet is fast, it have tether. Soo i'm looking for the Atrix for the video out features, HDMI and it's "speed".

I would think speed would be pretty much the same. Just replace Motoblur with a ASOP Gingerbread launcher and use SetCPU, then the Atrix will match the Nexus S for speed.

My friend was gona swap his sgs for my x10.
But he pulled out after some research online.
I used his SGS for a short while and all i can say is go for it.
Way smoother, benchmark scores are way higher and Multitouch.

The SGS screen has very vibrant colors, more saturated,
generally looks more sharp and feels less dull.
I bet you will like it!

Good luck with this

Hello My Friend!
I was a happy user of an X10 for over 7 months until i got bored of the poor support from Sony... I know J, Z, Wolf etc... are doing a great job by bringin the X10 up to date but my career gave me the chance of swaping my used X10 for a Brand New SGS and i can tell you is the best deal i've ever made...
Pros------
- 5 Points multitouch
- High Quality Sound, both earpice and speaker.
- Good Custom ROM & Kernel's development (OC up to 1.5 GHZ rock stable)
- The colors of the Screen are awesome
- TV OUT
- Samsung Support to bring Major Updates (Currently Stock ROM Released Android 2.3.4 by Samsung and they release updates every 15 days aprox...)
Cons------
- Camera Quality is not as good as in the X10
- GPS Lock is awful, it not always locks good and with accuracy.
- Battery Life depending on what Custom Rom you use, but it's a litle better than the X10
- The plastic build of the back can get scratched easely.
So i will say go for it, it is a good chance for you to try something new and the phone is really good.

On much android forum, I read that the SGS is more pixely on the screen then the x10. Colours are maybe better but x10 is sharper. If you don't want that, don't get the phone and just get some more money for the SGS2 you like.

@andddy - In the states we have the Samsung Infuse which is basically a big Galaxy S. Why get a older galaxy S when you can get the Galaxy S 1.5!? it has a 1.2ghz processor with an 8megapixel camera and 4.5 inch screen.

See if your country has it, it's probably the same price as an older model SGS.

yeh i think its sgs 2 here in the uk, basically im on a contract dont end for another 6 months so would just like something better to tide me over till then. and hopefully the phone your talking about will be cheaper as iv tried it and its the best phone i have ever seeeeeen

Selling my One X and buying a Galaxy S3.

I normally am one of them people who have a go at others for posting threads like this one but now since i am the one who is opening this thread now i know their reason why they do this.
I did get myself an early upgrade. HOX on a two year contract and very good deal i must say. But everyone knows about the problems the phone is having. If it is not software related it is the poor quality control that they do with the handsets. Anyways replaced my one 3 times and now it is getting repaired as we are speaking. I am more than likely going to get a replacement. But the first thing i am going to do is sell it. Why? Cause the S3 is ten times much better in my eyes and the way that Sammy handles there products is a million times better than HTC.
Although i will say Sense is ten times better than TouchWiz i feel that TW feels more liter and more smoother compare to Sense. Second let us not kid ourselves. The S3 will have the biggest development support ever seen on a handset. My opinion that is. And most importantly it will have the support of my favorite rom. CM9. So ladies and gents to end this i will like to say Goodbye One X and hello to the best freaking phone in the world the Galaxy S3..Daddy is coming home
Apologies for my over enthusiasm but i really tried to love that phone the One X but being the flashoholic that i am and wanting to try every single rom that i can see and all the different mods and kernels and not have to worry about fastboot or a freaking damn S-OFF to wait for the Sammy is the business and the one for me. Apologies to all and i really can not wait to join you all and start helping out others here and make this the best damn forum on xda

Aw ur leaving lol traitor
Jk...I'm probably gonna leave the one x soon too. Just not to Sgs3, will go back to Sammy soon enough, maybe their next nexus if its best. Jelly bean is so close it doesnt seem reasonable to get another ics device.

man i had enough of that phone...brilliant but way to damn complicated with regards to flashing stuff and updating stock roms....what on earth is the whole RUU's and boot.imgs and other malarchy..i know what they are but still it is not the straight forward stick it on recovery and flash it thing..same with the modems...i prefer it the sammy way. i did give a go but as i said above nothing but trouble...by the time the next Nexus comes out will be October November the latest. So the S3 is the one for me my friend. Man i can not wait to get my hands on it
EDIT: people over there really starting getting on my nerves and to many egos and divas going on around there..Devs thinking that they are better than others and thinking that they are better than others by not sharing work kinda really annoys me...We are using android after all and i thought this community was all about sharing and not competition..Hence why i love being back to Sammy cause the devs here are out of this world..And my favourite rom is coming along and i can not wait to flash it

Yea I hate this ruu crap. After having the gn I think nexus devices might just be the best all around in terms of experience. Now that there's gonna be 5 manufacturers even better for more choice and perfect match.
As for the dev stuff, yea I kinda know what you mean but you can't control it. I know the tmobile Sgs2 was one of the worst communities according to people and the absolute worst. The one x is alright, s-off would be ideal.

i just feel people over the One X side like to make things difficult for themselves and to many noobs over there for my liking...And well i just do not like the way people are going about their business specially few devs who think they are better than others and act like Divas.
Nexus is good and the ultimate phone and i feel the new one will be better than the previous versions..but i am really itching for the s3...but let me get my other back first and more than likely looking at a brand new One X so as soon as i get it it is going on ebay for sale

Man I did the same. I remember you in the hox forums. I returned mine. Good choice. I hate sammys plastic but their devices and the way they deal with issues is amazing. I had the gnote and it was flawless while the hox damn it had so many flaws for being a flagship device

nice to see you here buddy..good choice..here is hoping for a foxhound rom by the great Raffaele88 to..and yeah you are right..to many flaws for my liking..just hope i can get a good price for the One X

Also selling my One X for the SGSIII. I think the One X is fantastic. The screen is outstanding, the body and hardware, also outstanding. Its crazy fast, and butter smooth.
BUT, I've got a few problems and naggles with it that just bug the **** out of me. I knew when I got it I was only kidding myself. (I was waiting for the SGS launch)

Other than the damn power button on top, most of my issues are software related. I'm sure they will get it worked out. Heck the bootloader was unlocked today, so there goes that concern.
There's just a ton of little things that draw me to the SGSIII anyway. And I've had the SGSI, II, and Gnex.
(ok, I'm a Samsung fanboy, but hey they are on top right now?)

nothing wrong in liking a brand that you are familiar with. i will see how the s3 goes in the next few weeks and once i sell the one x i am going to buy the phone regardless..and the only thing that is drawing me towards the s3 is the how easy to root and flash things on this phone instead of the one x. that alone is a beneficial factor with the unlocked bootloader and no s-off business
