Starting to regret buying a nexus one

I know I shouldn't post this here just wanted the devs to maybe respond so we know what is holding up the fun.
I am not a jerk but what happen to the nexus one. We are constantly seeing devs going back to the g1 porting tons of new items into the roms while my nexus is still using the same old same old.
what happened to the fm radio for desire? bluetooth to work on desire? sony x10 roms? etc etc?
all i see lately is a bunch of modded kernels that all seem to be tampering with the processor way too much.
I am just starting to feel like my 500.00 phone was a waste to root.
thanks to all that have done great things for nexus, just kinda was expecting a little more.

so you expected the devs to make your phone worth $500? thats not cool.
also in case you haven't noticed the n1 runs 2.1 which is causing problems for ports which ran 1.5 or 1.6.
You are going to have to wait for a dev to get a desire to get the info needed to get the bluetooth or radio working. And that is assuming they are exactly the same which they probably aren't.
And as you stated above this doesn't belong here. It should be in the general section.

Really?
People keep porting stuff to the G1 because there are a ton of people that have that phone... and it still kinda sucks. I used either a G1 or a MT3G for the last 10 months. Now that I switched to the N1 I feel like everything just works the way I always wanted it to on the G1/MT3G. What more do you need?
The Desire ROMs are better than ANY port to the G1. Yeah there is a thing or two that isn't perfect, but WTF, man. It's damn good.
Cyanogen is near perfection. I keep toying with it trying to find **** wrong with it and... nothing. Obviously there's some cool stuff out there but why don't you buy some time looking for the coolest apps you can find. Use your phone... don't tool with it.

I didn't want a Desire I wanted to buy the next highly supported phone by the Rom community.
I am not *****ing I am simply asking what is causing the dry spell.
Is there something the Devs know about a new powerhouse tmobile phone around the corner so they dont want to waste time or updates coming that change everything soon.
I am not bashing so please everyone stop being negitive.

Seriously? The day I bought my HTC Tilt 1, I hard-spled it, and put in a custom rom. Why? Because I got it almost a year after it came out, and the stock os was slow as heck, and custom roms were always better and faster and so on and so forth.
The G1 has been out for over a year and a half. The nexus has been out for 3-4 months. There is a LOT more known about the workings of the g1 than the nexus, there are a LOT more people with a g1 vs a nexus, and so on and so forth. If you wanted a g1, you should've gotten a g1.
I bought a nexus, and I haven't rooted it/unlocked the bootloader or any of that. I haven't felt the need to - Stock, the phone performs light years ahead of any prev. phone I've owned, and I see no reason in rooting it that would add something I don't already have (that I need). It looks good, it works well, it's fast... it has even converted me to using a touchscreen keyboard (in both landscape and portrait) with no regrets whatsoever.
My advice: Give it time, and be patient. Either that, or learn to code and hack roms, and do it yourself. No need to be ungrateful towards those who ARE working towards what you feel they should have done already.

I know what you mean. I'm still waiting for Cyanogen to make my Nexus shoot lasers...

Honestly , I would have to agree with you man. I was led to believe that the potential was going to be endless with this power house we all have bu , the only thing that has REALLY come out of rooting that was good is the wifi tether and USB tether. Everything else is pretty much stock.

Um did I ever say I was ungreatful?
I had a G1 as I stated.

Dude, you can't compare a port to a phone with less than half the specs to having the real thing.
The g1 is like a pitbull, big and meaty but slow as hell. Nexus is like a grayhound, fast as hell but you can still do a bit to improve.
I for one am happy I upgraded. This is just one of those times you should have kept your mouth shut. (or fingers as it is)

Well, the saying goes...if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.

Dont take what he said literally, It did sound like you just bought the phone hoping the Devs would take care of you and make your buy worth it. They are all doing what they can with whatever resource available for them.
You might think the Devs are slacking coz they still havent fixed the bluetooth/FM radio problem, but incase you havent noticed these ROMs are still in the Alpha and Beta stages, and they are called that for a reason. Come on man, you dont expect the Devs to perfect a ROM from a phone that hasnt even come out yet, or just came out?!
The G1 has more development, thats because it started as CUPCAKE, a lot more updates came after that, so a lot of stuff for the Devs to play with... But even with the best possible ROM you can flash in the G1 it will never compare to the Nexus! not even a stock Nexus.
P.S. I'd be glad to trade you my G1 for your N1. Just holler

No offense but this phone was only released barely 4 months ago. I think it may be a little unrealistic to expect certain hacks to be perfected already. You should try excercising little patience and enjoy your phone for what it is, a great piece of technology. I am running Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 test3 and I am loving it! Go check out the Magic forum and talk to some of the people who have a Rogers Magic or Magic+, I was one of them and they still don't even have root! How about the iPhone 3GS with the latest fixed bootrom? That may help you appreciate the simple things that the N1 offers(Unlockable bootloader out of the box sans warranty). I am sure people are hard at work on features you may want but I am sure these devs are prioritizing what they feel is most important and that may not agree with what you think is priority. Enjoy your phone becuase it is a great phone, if not sell it ebay you can probably get a good return on it.

LoL. Patience, My Young Padawan.

Well what were you expecting??? Sounds like you were just dead wrong on what to expect.
Root doesn't give much to the g1 as well, it just enables you to access /system/ and su permissions. One can say that the g1 needed to have a **** load of tweaks to make it run better, while the nexus is just an updated and better optimized phone.
You can't even compare running 2.1 on a g1 with that on a nexus.

You should have just kept it stock then. lol. And then made a thread about how your 500.00 phone was a waste to buy in a first place. Why not sell it on ebay to get some of your money back?

With all due respect to the community, i have to agree.

What up guys!

I so happy right now, i just got my evo and i couldn't be any happier! i have never wanted a phone bad!

Yo! Hope you enjoy that ish! GREATEST. PHONE. EVAR.
sent from my SUPASONIC

Yes its like having sex with a body part that you never had sex with yet. It feels !!!!Stupendous!!!!! having this phone. Make sure you read things 3 times before going though with stuff. Also read all the battery profile and changes so you can have a battery life on that thing.
P.S. Welcome to the board, take some things with a gain of salt!!!!

haha, you guys are funny.. absolutely right, but funny
I'm not the type to be a fanboy of anything, I don't do shiz to be cool or because I care what people think but I have gone totally ghey for my phone.
I am just amazed that a device that does what this evo does and with such style has been made affordable to the general public. This thing is a powerhouse and it's freaking gorgeous!
And for anyone who wants to crack on devices that have better performance aspects.. take a step back and look at the bigger picture. There are many amazing devices and some are better than others at different things but in general, the smart phone industry is revolutionizing the way people live. Compare any current gen phone with tech of 10 or 15 years ago.. it's ridiculous how far things have come.. look back even 5 years, WE HAVE FLASH IN OUR POCKETS!!
If any of us traveled 100 years back in time we could easily convince people that magic is real.
i die gress

Yeah I made the switch from a black berry bold 9650,i was still with in my 30 days so I asked my self why I went from a hero to aBB, and to tell you the truth I don't know why.so my hunt began, and finally after calling 15 radio shacks I found it! So I what next, should I root or just wait it out?

I was trying, with the one click root bit it seems to be down.

I always thought adb was tedious, the one click tool does have a progress bar and says what its doing. Im curious now on why you think we shouldn't trust one click programs.

big challenge for unrevoked

I gues its been a while and still nothing from unrevoked. I guess there is never going to be an update since they refuse to answer any questions about wildfire, and the main thing in theyr IRC chat they never talk about it.. SO GUYS WE ARE FORGOTEN..

i bought my phone with 2.2.1 already installed
i asked for one without upgrade but they said they have none left
i really want root to flash wildpuzzle looks so good

give them a chance, you want them to drop everything and work on a program for the wildfire that they make no money from. i'm sure these people have lives too, and it's been all of about 5 weeks since update. patience people
and yes wildpuzzle is fantastic

agree with you....i also have to wait for the unrevoked update
now got my hands on 2.2 official update....

no,they probably has it, they probably want to do some surprise with nice interface etc stuff, i do not belive that team unrevoked can not find any exploit in wf.
Everything is hackable,look at greenpois0n, redsn0w etc...they jailbreaked iphoine4 and now they are cracking soft 4.2.1, iphone 4 users also has to wait if they did update to 4.2.1...
So my point is ->this will be done, they are superb good and this is just matter of time.

finding an exploit in a bootloader(!!!) is little different then writing simple hello world program or whatever scenario you are thinking about. and if these inpatient folks here keep spamming the board with a new troll thread every day then I really hope there will be NO unrevoked. so please just keep waiting for it and stop annoying people! Noone from unrevoked will keep attention to your crying! so just stop it!
Btw the wildfire is already a great device even without root access so what's your problem???? you can still use your android!!! I used mine for months before even trying to root it!

New BB arrived today, still hasnt been configured but I had a quick play...
Design is the usual, but back to the original width so larger than the recent ones... It is the thinnest one ever though... Feels well built and looks pretty smart... Keyboard does feel like the best BB one yet, but the keys above them are shiny so show fingerprints... Back is weird if you ask me... The battery cover is basically clear plastic/glass over a textured surface, again finger prints, but different I suppose...
Now then, OS7... What can I say? Same'ol'same old...As crap as ever but with a brand new lick of paint... Touchscreen works, but I just thought, what's the point really...
Read a post over at crackberry and some guy got rid of his S2 for one of these things... We might have some intellectually challenged members, but what does that make him?!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce you all to a great new charity... It's called the 'Get Caspa an S2 as his work decided to get him a BB 9900 at the last minute Fund', a great cause as he shouldn't have to suffer in this way... I'm sure you'll agree...
Rest assured, 100% of donations will go to the fund and remember, YOU can make a real difference in Caspa's life...

Swines!

Don't you have a mobile of your own mate or do you just rely on your job to provide you with a phone?You can get the GS2 for free on contract in UK if you cant afford to purchase it outright although i always recommend purchasing outright and avoid long contracts.
Even if i had a job that provided a phone id still ensure i had my own phone and it wouldn't be a bloody iPhone or Blackberry either.
Just an observation

My Goodbyes .

I know I didn't contribute to making this device a success but I just want to tell you devs in this forum thank you. You guys have been so awesome this pass year and you guys have taught me so much about life in an odd way. As I get ready to give up this device I just wanted to let you all know you are all awesome and I'm glad that I stuck around long enough to see new devs rise ( Dastin , Matt). That just goes to show you, this phone never dies. I will always remember you guys names and all just don't ever forget me. and I will always be lurking somewhere in the shadows .

See ya, you will never be forgotten!

long live the heroc!

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'm posting here. I'm outta here and by here I probably mean all of xda because I went to the dark side. Gonna try an iPhone for a while. May be back on Android after 2 years, but maybe by then we'll all have cochlear implants and not need phones at all.
Thanks to all the helpful people here and of course the devs who kept my interest in my old hero for so long.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'm posting here. I'm outta here and by here I probably mean all of xda because I went to the dark side. Gonna try an iPhone for a while. May be back on Android after 2 years, but maybe by then we'll all have cochlear implants and not need phones at all.

Your gonna go from the guy who had a the feed of when a new cm nightly was ready to an iPhone? You gonna jailbreak it? Haha
I'm moving on as well. After 2 full years with a hero I now have a E4GT and it's everything I dreamed a phone could be. But like so many others, the hero started me on all this rooting non sense and it will always be "my first". Thanks to all the devs, jaybob, aosp, nfx, toast, darch, zenulator, and all those guys who moved on along time ago. Maybe I'll se you around.

Yep. I just reclaimed the twitter feed that was the HeroC bot the other day too since they aren't doing nightly builds anyway. I like the iPhone (fast, well built, I love it's flat on both sides too) but it's too restrictive and I'm a little frustrated by that. It'd be nice if they had a similar "share intent" api. I'm probably going to jailbreak it but I'll wait a few weeks until they get the bugs worked out. The jailbreak isn't out yet but should be any day now.
