About to leave to go get my Epic 4g Touch using my dads upgrade. ( I'll have mine in a month to get a new LTE phone ) Just wanted to thank everyone that helped me learn about android by answering my stupid questions and for being a wonderful community of people. Gonna miss my Evo alot, but I'll still have it around for random business such as PC remote and whatnot. oh no.... I told myself I wouldn't cry... *sniff sniff* I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSS
I 2nd this post. Hard to imagine leaving my Evo, even tho it's 21mo old. I doubt any other device I get will stay relevant this long. And the community has been great.

Yea agreed imma feel sad in November when I use my upgrade its still crazy that the evo is still better than some phones I'll miss it tho

Its OK, yaw jes keep passin them fine phones down to us cheapos! I plan on enjoyin my EVO till the newer phones are down to a Benjamin. hehe
I switched to the NS4G after my Evo **** the bed, and I still miss it.
The Nexus has been far more reliable and has a slick form factor, but I have large hands and miss the brutish size of the Evo. Not to mention the dev support - with the nexus, you get your choice of AOSP, modded AOSP, or the single Sense 2.1 rom.
can u please elaborate on that pc remote thing?
thanks
that is the biggest reason I rooted my phone. I was getting tired of it and still have about 8 months to my upgrade since Sprint did awway with the yearly upgrade on the primary line. The ability to flash different ROMS has given it a totally different look n feel, improved my battery life and brought about new love for my phone. i have decided im not upgrading now until I can get a 4G LTE device and have 4G service in my area.
Having similar feelings. Will be getting something new very soon. Everything I know about android I learned from my Evo and this community. Pretty awesome.

no. i havent tried v6 yet. im still pretty new to all this. what exactly does v6 supercharger do?
It sets different OOM values. Essentially telling androind when to kill processes if they're bogging down the rest of your system. That is my understanding from reading, if anyone cares to correct, I'd be more than happy.

That's about right. I'm on tapa right now, and I don't have the v6 thread in front of me. Google "v6 supercharger" and the thread pops right up. I highly recommend it. It's not a difficult process either. Great dev with easy install instructions in the op of the thread.

I just wanted to chime in to give credit to the DEVs for keeping the EVO bad ass for so long. I got mine the day it came out (almost 2 years ago, which is an ETERNITY for a technology product) and I would still much rather have the EVO than my wife's I-Phone 4S. Every time I get bored with it I find a new ROM and it's like getting a brand new phone for the donation I make.

which ones better i kno the shift has better support and stuff but i really wanted the tmobile g2 but they dnt sell them any more so i was wondering between these three which is the best and the shift is more like the g2 except for sense
If you google 'phonearena *phone model* specs' you'll be able to see some of the differences between the phones. I was stuck between the Transform and EVO Shift myself a week ago when I picked up my new phone and silly enough the EVO won because HTC shipped it with a word processor app (I'm big into using my phone for rough draft documents). This was the big seller for me since I came from using winmo which always came with a mini version of MS Word.

The epic and shift blow the transform out of the water. But my wife has the epic, and the software for it sucks. Not as much custom stuff out there for it, and the stock software is so buggy. That screen on the epic is sure nice though...

Lol I almost got the transfrom until I read the reviews and couldn't find it on xda (at that time not sure if its here now). Very happy I chose the shift!

Coming from a Samsung Moment, I would never buy a Samsung phone product ever again. What a piece of garbage. Plus it sounds like the current Samsung phones still have non working GPS. Stay far away from that junk. Check out the SDX forums for some more Samsung info outside of here.

Yeah my wife had a moment damm that was a effin pos! they should stick to makind displays for tv's and phones and such.lol
EVO Shift all the way. Couple off friends have moments, one has a Transform, and a couple of Epics. All of them are constantly regretting their decisions to buy these phones for one reason or another. More support for the Shift, and development. Plus it's hellua great out of the box. But of course my opinion is biast. It's hard not to be, the Shift is way better.
I chose the shift and I'm liking it so far but now I want to kno wats a good rom for gingerbread and a good kernel to use and wats a good screen protector cuz I might keep it after the months over

The bad news is that HTC hasn't released the source for the kernel used in GB so you won't be able to OC any of these rom's. But MikShiftede is pretty quick from what I've read.I haven't the chance install it yet to give you first hand knowledge.

samsung transform does NOT compare to the evo shift!
I just upgraded from the transform to the evo shift and love it!!
I had shift182 rom ext4 on my transform and nothing helped the speed (or should i say lack of) issues.
Evo shift is the way to go, night and day difference!
Hope this helps.

Well guys, this may be it. I'm probably going to buy a G-Nex tonight, if not, sometime this week. I've had a great experience here. My first android phone was the DINC and it will be remembered....as my new MP3 player... Sad yet great day! Thanks to all the Devs! Hope to see some of you over at the G-Nex LTE forums!!!
Also, everyone else feel free to use this as a home for your goodbyes!
Same here! I loved my Inc, got it on launch day shipped.
Also same here - I'm thinking of passing it on to my son, who is too young for a phone but loves to game on it. Anyone know of a ROM that is specifically designed to turn it into a sort of aPod?
How would you be able to get one tonight? It releases tomorrow. I'm getting one too probably tomorrow.

Not good enough
I went into Verizon yesterday to look at the Galaxy Nexus and I just wasn't impressed enough to spend the money. Oh well, maybe the next big phone release will be too irresistible. The whole game playing with the release date changing so much just left a bad taste in my mouth too.
I too, am joining the Galaxy Nexus crowd! It's been a great year and half everyone, hope to see all of you around GN forums!

Goodbye Galaxy Nexus
Well,
After 26 days of owning not one, but 3 Galaxy Nexus phones, I have returned mine as the problems I had with the call quality/signal strength and the phone constantly muting itself during calls, have made me not want it anymore. Yes it was a beautiful device, had great speed, an awesome screen, and a lot of other things, but it didn't live up to what a phone is meant to be, a PHONE!. I know that there are software updates coming out to all of the folks with this phone and I hope that you get your issues resolved by it, but I simply couldn't justify keeping it for what I paid. So now back to an old phone for me until something works out!
Former Inc owner with a Nexus now. Unlocking and rooting the phone was easy. Haven't had a chance to flash anything on it yet but the roms look great. I dunno making the switch was easy for me.

How is the Rezound? I'm not up for an upgrade till April, but I'm between the Rezound and GNex... I'm leaning for for the gnex due to the problems they've had rooting the Rezound

You're completely right, just we don't use many things the same way unfortunately. But it's a positive nonetheless.
Its weird that we haven't been EOL yet. But I think I see why, a lot of my friends have been picking up the Epic for the cheap $99. Although one friend got the Stratosphere, which I'm jealous of, that phone is nice.

EVO was easily replaceable as there are plenty of high end slate styled phones on Sprint. Epic on the other hand fills a niche. Honestly, I've noticed a lot of Epic users out in the wild lately. I used to never see anyone else with my phone and now it's been every place I go I seem to see another person with an Epic. Even at a year and a half old, it holds it own and even bests a lot of the newer mid-range phones out there.
To the novice consumer the Epic is the cheaper keyboarded style galaxy s2. The Og Epic never got much advertisement, but since the Epic Touch has a lot of people head in to check it out, see the Og Epic, are like "oh cool it's the same phone with a keyboard and cheaper" and bam, it becomes more popular then when it was released.

I am sort of in the same boat. In spite of SERO, opening a line in a family VZW account would cost about the same or less and I never go beyond 3GB of data use (that with double data promotion). Went to VZW store, played with the Nexus, but despite being well aware of specs, updates, ICS etc just did not feel that it was that much better than what I already have. Also, realized that I will really miss my KB, and the dev community is still in its infancy for Nexus @XDA.

A lot of my friends had gotten Epics and I was the sore thumb who went out and got an Evo Shift back last April. That phone went kaput on me and I decided to hop on the epic-wagon after using other ones first hand. I won't ever get a non keyboard phone, and the epic is the best of its class...Its the ONLY one of its class now. Sprint has no plans to release any other keyboard phones yet, which is highly disappointing. We might see one when LTE comes around, but...in the mean time, I'm happy that the Epic has such an awesome team of devs here (Things over in the evo shift forum really started to die!).
Long story short: Long live the epic.
I think the possibility of us getting ics is pretty good actually. It used to seem out of reach but now the hyped nexus update has been halted and Sammy is posting new rdf files, not to mention the increasing amount of epic buyers lately. If you ask me, I think the probability of us getting ics is higher than many think. Our phone will easily support it.

This is the "Official" goodbye thread (at least ill try to have it be?) for the EVO Shift 4G. Some people might be moving to a different device soon with the release of the EVO LTE or maybe the GS3 or any new phone, so I thought I should make a thread to reduce the clutter. So feel free to post in here why you're leaving, and to what device and anything else!

Now for my Goodbye (the real underlying purpose of this )
Although I don't even use this phone anymore I still stayed around for awhile theming for it and sharing with this awesome community. Unfortunately I am going to have to drop this. I don't have a comp for the time being and I am also moving to the new EVO LTE soon so they handful of devices will get to be too much.
Although I won't be theming much here anymore, I'm still always going to be around through here checking up on you guys, and I will always be around to help those that want it
I've said it a thousand times that this is by far my favorite community I have seen on XDA and it still stands you guys are amazing! and I am thankful you guys have given me the oppurtunity to share my work.
I would like to say thanks to the following
Strapped365,and Prboy1969: You guys..without you i'd never be where I am now. You gave me my start and pushed me through and i'll never thank you guys enough for the massive help! I'm always around for you guys!

Dread7us: For the help and everything you have done for the community (love NewSENSE)

BOTH have pros and cons but it comes down to a few things
SGS3 - Worse Build Quality (including radios), 2 GB rams (big plus to me), Removable battery
Evo LTE - Better Quality, better skin, slightly bigger battery, better screen.
Now what's more important to you?
Shifted from Outer Space
Other smaller things is the sgs3 doesn't have the idiotic buttons like the LTE. But that's no that serious
And the LTE has the camera button! And a kickstand

Well for me it's a no brainer. I'm an HTC fanboy .
i always have loved samsung screen they always seemed to be supuriour to all the others on the market.. what about real life cpu reliablity sure they are both 1.5 i think but from what i hear the s4 is a beast oactually out preforms the tegra 3 in some cases..plus odin is a big win for me..
I'm looking at a Droid 4 if Sprint doesn't get their **** together.
The only thing that would even make me glance at a GS3 is the 2 gigs of ram. Unfortunately the U.S version doesn't have exynos processor so im not blown away there since it's the same processor as the EVO LTE in the U.S.
I love HTC builds thought so im all for the EVO LTE

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.

X, thank you for all that you have done for the OG Epic community. Noone knows how many countless hours you have spent make these phones show their true potential. The Optimus guys are lucky to have you and your skills.

Thanks for the support, guys. I really appreciate it. I'll miss you guys.
Oops. I just noticed I posted this in Android Development. My bad. I don't think this is development.
Edit: Thanks, Kenny for fixing that.

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
