Hey everyone.
Well sadly, and happily the time has come for me to move on to another device. The epic, while having great potential just did not hit the mark. While many of you may disagree, etc, the truth is simple; The Epic4G had much more potential than Samsung/Sprint allowed it to have.
So now I say my farewell to the Epic dev community. I will still be around, and if you need to contact me you can do so via PM, or find me in IRC @ irc.freenode.net #G2x
As some of you know, I recently decided to switch carriers to T-Mobile, and I am getting a G2x. My new device arrives tomorrow, and I am quite excited to begin dev'ing on a new phone, with a lot more power.
Good luck to everyone, and I hope to see you on the other side
We're going to miss you. Thanks for all you've done.
Thanks Dameon you did SO much for this community

Thanks Dameon! Leaving with class and style! I like it. Maybe when the G2s hit Sprint you can throw together some stuff for us, even though I got awhile before I can upgrade.
Thanks for all you've done. Good luck with the new device.
thanks for all your work.

Have fun with the new device.
I've read reviews on it, and it looks to be plagued with battery life issues and random reboots on stock. So I'm sure you'll make that community very happy with fixes.
Talk about a traitor!
I'm jking dude. I'm sure there was a logical reason behind you switching to tmo, even though you will be an AT&T customer with their outrageous prices.
Just saying.
Take care

. Sad too see so many devs leaving lately. But you can't blame them there's some amazing devices coming out. I think I'm gna jump on the sgs2. Thanks fr al yur hard work on cm7.
Bought an Inspire 4G a few days ago and just sold my Epic today for $300. I figure I'm extremely lucky as someone who loves development and has seen it completely die out on the Epic. Farewell and hopefully everyone else can unload their's before it's too late. Goodbye whiny babies and attention-starved developers (the few that are left around here). It was (somewhat) fun while it lasted. Sorry that Samsung is only half as good at phones as it is at televisions.

I somewhat liked that phone too. No support = boring though. We have no decent developers left because the mods here and the ****ty phone owners have run them all off and Samsung's very poor customer support amount to ****. Time to move onto a more user/developer friendly machine. Sorry you're loyalty leaves you in the past.
i'm so sick of 'no name' members posting threads about how they're leaving..
it's almost as bad as trolling.. if you're leaving allow me to hold the door open for you but make sure it don't hit you on the but-tocks
Peace out beotch.
Oh yeah, and its your not you're.
Too late for what? Does your phone spontaneously combust once all XDA development for it comes to a stand still? Well hell, thanks for the warning.
There has been a whole bunch of new stuff over the past couple weeks, so I apparently am not seeing where the development has become dead.
I for one am really pumped about this forum. Thanks to everyone here I rooted my phone and flashed my first rom. Going to flash my first modem tonight. I think the developers are all quality too. I'm running SRF right now and find it to be nearly flawless. I'm new to all this, and maybe I'm wrong, but a few quality devs seems better to me, as a noob, than trying to weigh through a bunch of potentially crappy ROMs just because a phone is popular. I'm very pleased about my first experience with rooting, and will likely listen closely to the suggestions of people from this forum when its time for a new phone.
Enjoy whatever you got going though, I wish you well.

I'm sure this post is bound to spur all kinds of development - you've given so much to the community that I'm sure the devs will all be scrambling to produce something just to try and draw you back in...
Yeah, I'm sure that will happen...
This doesn't even belong in General, sounds like more of a personal problem...

I hate being a troll, but I've seen way too many threads like this as of late so here it goes.
OP, In your good bye to us all you do is *****, moan and complain about the developers and Samsung. What did you add to the forum? What did you develop? What help did you provide to other users? Did you spend hours upon hours developing roms, mods, kernels and themes then providing then free of charge to ungrateful blood sucking users like yourself?
A simple "Thanks but it's time for me to move on" would suffice.
Like daddymikey said, I'll hold the door.

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?

*Sigh* seems like everyday just about that people are leaving the Shift. I honestly like this phone and coming from an HD2, that's saying something....to me anyways. Strapped is leaving and if the other big ones start to leave, then developement will come to a halt...less updates, roms,etc. I certainly don't have the funds to get a dual core phone and honestly, to me they are over hyped. We have laptops, so what's the point of having a big lug of a brick to carry around? Especially if you're a guy. Well, there's my little rant, so cheers to HTC Speedy, Mr.Underrated 2011.

Too bad strapped is leaving but he's not the only developer we have. There are plenty of ROMs out there being actively developed.
As long as we get CM9 or a different AOSP ICS ROM then I'll be happy with my Shift for another year. My last three phones have been landscape sliders, I'm not sure if I could deal with only having an onscreen keyboard.

Agreeded, it was a sad day when strapped had to leave the forum. But that was because of very difficult choice that had to be made. Plus he didn't leave the Shift. He just halted open development, android is in his blood . We still have some very talented Devs on the Shift.

The dual cores are over rated and over priced. And a lot of them are very buggy phones in general. That's why development for the HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3d is taking so long. I doubt the shift will be dead for a very long time.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I love my shift, and I expect when the shift 2 (shift 3d?) drops below $100 ill consider upgrading. The slider is the dealmaker for me; add a powerful touchscreen and no way I'm leaving. 'Sides, I got a bit more than a year on my contract

This. I want my shift to last me as long as until another good slider comes out. Sure theres been sliders released since the shift, but none of them have anything powerful behind that screen. They keyboard is THE dealmaker with me, and I would like to keep my current ability of running full speed 3D games and watching netflix without stutter.
Well, as you can see, this was BEFORE HTC released the kernel source (which was one if not the biggest complaint), so apologies. I got this phone because I liked the fact is was blue (I dislike that I see black bricks everywhere) and the hardware specs looked nice as well. It was either the G2 or this (I disliked it looking like a concrete block.lol) and I can say I'm glad Father allowed me to get this one. As for deving, I'm sure that's not in my lane. The countless nights & hours....can't do it. I haven't looked into the quadcore phones, but I can barely get service out here anyways unless it's by a landline, so I definitely won't spend $4-500 on a phone. I have a computer, so I don't need all this new stuff that's more in the "nice to have, but not needed" range. Also having a 4'3 inch or whatever screen busting my pockets wherever I go. I had enough of that with the HD2. On another note, I am ANXIOUS about having an ICS for this phone.

I got my shift for $150, while the rest of my family went for the $200 evo. Before the shift came out, I was ogling the Epic, but I'm sick of samsung phones. Frankly, I don't need the humungous screen, the compact shift screen is just big enough for my purposes. I hardly use it to watch anything anyways. But IIRC, radio shack was offerring the shift for $50? free? with a 2 yr contract sometime back. Once the Shift 1 is fully EOL, I fully expect similar deals for the shift 3d. You can't keep a phone at the debut price forever. My only real complaint is battery life still sucks compared to the iphone
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i got lucky and caught my shift for free on a new contract at radio shack, only problem at the time was it came with 2.3.3 so i wasnt able to get root for a while. otherwise, i love this phone and development is far from dead on it, wait til one_love starts releasing the themes hes been working on in the background.
I got my shift for free because my hero took a poop. Lol thank you best buy.

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

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.

It seems like it is getting closer and closer to when I have to turn out the lights on this forum.

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 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 .

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
