So Long and Thanks for all the Fish

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.
With a keyboard.

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.

See ya gunnyman.... I hope those who get an evo will see you in the portal. Me however, I'll be in this ghostland of a Hero forum.

I'll be here with you for a while, Meng. Dropping $500 on a phone, even one as nice as the evo, just aint happenin for ol' tejas.

I'll be here at least until October.... upgrade date.

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.

Got the G2 a few mins ago!

Just got the G2 from the Up's man....Excited! Whats the correct way to start this thing up ? charge full first?

I played with my G2 while it was charging from the PC's USB, no ill effects. Just takes longer.
Congrats, you got a great phone!
I know I was like a kid in a candy store with mine.

When I got my desire z, I killed the battery until it shut off, then gave it a full charge. Anyway, Hope you have fun with the G2

i was actually thinking of holding off on root for a while to wait for 2.3....Headed to best buy mobile after work to check out the nexus s and 2.3 mostly....Havent even turned mine on yet! Shes charging....Shhhh

I just got mine today as well. Got it for free with a contract renewal. Very happy that I didn't blow $200 on the nexus S as I live in an area with really good hsdpa+ coverage (south jersey).
Already experienced the corrupt sd card issue (twice). I think it was because I was turning off usb connectivity on the phone, then unmounting it. Only way to get it working was to throw it into my G1 and reformat.
Build quality seems to be top notch... not sure about all the fuss on the hinge. Works well enough for me. Gonna root this weekend, can't wait to tether this puppy. Anyway, enjoy.

Congrats!. I enjoy mine everyday .

I got mine yesterday....now I already done the sim-unlock and permanent root : and put desire z build xD

Congrats,a great and nice phone!
Have fun

well its great! I went and saw the nexus s last night and played with 2.3......listen to this.....so it was a best buy mobile store in my local mall nobody there so I asked for the demo, its smoooooth.....many touchs of froyo carried over as I see it in the g2 I downloaded quadrant and it wouldn't work! It wouldn't render the graphics on the room/stairs part....interesting I thought....maybe 2.3? Anyways if I root and stay stock rom will I get stock ota updates? I got the first update about 10 mins after turning it on

Kill the battery, root it, overclock it, psfreedom it, kill the battery again, back it up, root it again lmao. This phone will keep u occupied for some time. I like it more than I expected. I'm coming from a hd2, was about to get the dell streak but decided to go the g2 way.

I think it's funny how people complain about the screen closing when they are using the phone while laying on their back. The simple solution is to just close the keyboard. There's ten different ways to input text into this phone and there was such a big fuss about not being able to use the keyboard while facing the ceiling.

Yep, I'm laying some -root- tonight!!!!!

ignore from here down. My xda bros just saved my marriage!
Once again, I come here with fingers crossed hoping for root news. And once again, I leave here with no news. And yet again, I will hear my wife say "I hate you" for upgrading her phone. fml.

I just recieved a new shift about 3 hours ago because i dropped mine and im stuck without root also, and as a dev its horrible.

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.

/\ hey somebody in the same boat as me... My keyboard and physical button lights haven't worked in months. Small price to pay to keep root.

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?

Dunno. I may be wrong in the above too. I've been lucky enough to keep my root and haven't actually been paying much attention to the problem of rooting the 2.3 OTA.

New and proud owner of Note

Hi, everyone
Been looking around this forum for weeks and finally got the Note. We have a great forum here and everyone are very helpful. Came from Atrix forum and it was rough over there .
I got it rooted and had clockworkmod loaded. I got the unlocked international version, even though ATT version is just around the corner. I got constant download speed of 1.5-2.00 mb on ATT HSPA+. Im so glad it has a physical home button. It really help.
When I first held the phone, I thought I got scam and got a fake phone . I was thinking it cannot be this big and light. It took me about 5 minutes to get use to the size. I will never go back to any screen less then 5" again. Love this phone!!!
Anyway, just like to give a little feedback and how great this forum is.
