Ok, I have been an official owner of this masterpiece since January 6, 2010.. Lol, Stayed up partying that Sunday night.. Never went to sleep.. Sobered right up when I saw the Press release.. Bought it 5 Minutes after the site finally came up after refreshing every 15 seconds.. Whew..
Now, here I stand.. Ready to embark back home to VZW and I have about 5 months left of my account being put on hold.. So no rush.. But.. i see the HTC Desire is coming.. I know I already run A10 from Modaco but I kinda Like the Hardware not for nothing.. So, can Nexus Roms be back-ported to this device since we initially ported it over to us.. In so, is it coming to VZW along with att/t-mobile, Any word.. I know the Legend is going to Sprint, Which i am getting for my Father in law, I last got him a Tour..
I am also seeing that the Nexus comes out for Verizon March 23rd, a pretty solid Google Employee spilled the beans.. So another option could be to Continue to Sell this Nexus and transfer to that.. Then load Modacos Sense Ui CDMA Rom (When Available)... So I guess I ask if Devs, PPL, Gurus, can help here.. I gather and prob 90% assure myself i'm not the Only one in for this... So I guess Keep the thread alive.. Maybe it'll stay here with ideas, workarounds, additions, dev requests with links and etc.. Hopefully until and while these FUTURE devices arrive..
Thanks Guys.
Hope You Guys Liked My Vids... Gonna Make More when More Desire Updates arrive..
I think my head exploded trying to understand what your question was lol

Just wondering, since it says you are in New Jersey, is english your first language?
So what are you saying like.. you want a Desire?

And I'm sure a welcome addition to all the current devs!!
From Twitter:
cyanogen
Upgraded my G1 which was on contract to a Slide! Thanks @tmobile_usa
Yep I just seen that posted on his twitter as well!
Wow, that's awesome. I can't wait to see a Cyanogen ROM for the Slide. That would be awesome!
The best news I heared this week the king of STABLE ANDROID has returned
-------------------------------------
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
It is great - but we have some very talented devs on the Slide now. Eugene and Wes and several others have poured many hours into this. I think the team is pretty well rounded!
The addition of cyanogen is like the icing on the cake!
i saw this on Cyanogens twitter earlier as well, makes me very happy, i never upgraded the G1 to CM5.0 but i would love to see this phoen running some CM greatness
LOL and for some reason i was searching for apps for a rooted phone last night and decided to install Cyanogens updater app. Then I come here today to hear he has a MT3GS! Awesome!!!!!!

Looks like it's soon to be CM 6.0 with the Froyo source being released on AOSP today... I predict great things for this phone. Not just good, but great!
Guys, it will be a while until we see cm6 on the mts... I hate to be a real downer but I was excited and all...until... I remembered that just the source code was released. It is the first step to froyo but it will be a few weeks. Sorry...
cyanogen
CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide
Oh Joy!
Yeah I know it would be a while, but it's still something to look foward to. You'd be hard pressed to say that anyone on XDA with an Android phone isnt anticipating FroYo in some way or another...
Hell, CM6 will probably be out for release on the Slide before HTC pushes an OTA for it.
since drop of AOSP we've had so many twitter notifications of updates concerning 2.2 that i'm extremely surprised and amazed. I like to think that sooner rather than later we'll have a froyo release thanks to all the great devs.. I tried to pull the system tree out of the aosp and failed miserably thanks to ubuntu 10.04.. gonna try again, because I think I'd seriously like to learn how much it takes to dev one of these great android roms

I'm pretty sure from all the responses on here that he will be missed in the G1 section. (had the G1 but did not root it or flash custom roms on it) Thats a shame as the G1 is still a great phone and I know a lot of users are sticking with it. But at the same time its a positive thing as the G1 was soo limited on what it could proccess.
Just new to rooting myself. I purchased my Evo back in November, but it took me until now to root my phone. I actually researched these and other forums since July before purchasing my phone in November and finally rooting last week. I'm glad to report that all went well. I'm now running myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5) with Konikub's Aloysius 5 theme that looks awesome. I also have the Unrevoked splash screen and wrx4memp’s Warm 3 Boot Animation on startup. Thanks to the developers of these forums for all they do.
Glad you are enjoying root. Took me a few months to get bored and jumped into the world of rooting. Now I cant get enough, there is so much that you can do.
Happy flashing! (you know what I mean) >.<
Before I get to my point I want to thank all the devs for there hard work that they do in their spare time. They do it for free and hope that some of us donate to make it a little more worth their while.
Maybe it's just me or does it seem like the development thread is slowing down. I've noticed lately that most of the stuff coming in now is ports from other phones and updates for past builds. Theres not alot of new stuff rolling out. EDT seems to stay busy, but what happend to TW? I would have put money on having a stable 2.3 rom out by now to use as a daily driver. We also lost Eugene and leaked samsung builds seem to not be coming out as often.
Is our phone entering the twilight years? Are the dev's losing interest and working on other phones. I've played around with some of the new phones like the atrix and thunderbolt and i'm sure they could be a lil more interesting to build for.
I hope i'm wrong and 5 min. after I post this a new 2.3 rom comes out. It was fun when you flashed a new trigger rom and 1 day later the new bionix came out. This is a really nice phone and you have to really try hard to brick it. It's almost like Samsung designed it to be modded. Hopefully the devs can get inspired again or some new blood comes in to give us something new.
I think we need to be patient. One day there will be a leak for gb and things will fire up again.

just relax man every phone goes through spells of development. I see you only joined in april so just wait, Whitehawkx had a mostly working gb port working minus the gps and we have CM7 and MIUI support now as well.
Be patient this phone is amazing and im certain development will continue for it for some time.
In the mean time flash a miui beta or try out the EDT roms you wont be disappointed.
Lets not forget Simply Galaxy v3 a 2.3.3 rom. Yes still developing but stable.
Once we get a proper kernel you'll see more Gingerbread roms as for right now you have a ton of quality 2.2.1 and 2.2 roms to chose from.
Of course the OP is welcome to start developing on their own and contribute.

Yes, but point being is that we're pretty much at the mercy of Samsung & T-Mobile to release a 2.3.
We will not have a kernel source to play with until it releases for I9K, and even then we'll have issues for a while. And we won't have one with rockin' battery life until we get a leak or source.
But yeah, there really isn't much developing coming from anyone except the guys working on kernels & people like Whitehawk, sonique, and of course Untermench who actaully modify the code. Because there's not much else to do.
Things are winding down. There are only a handful of people around who have the knowledge and inclination to roll their own ROMs.
As newer devices with more capabilities are introduced (the dual core LG G2X will be in T-mobile stores April 20th), then the older ones lose favor.
That is how it is with Android. Your 8 month old phone becomes old. After 15 months its an antique!

I actually have tried to develop a theme to post here but there is so much involved with all the editing and i simply don't have the time. I really wish I did. Trust me I have a great respect for what the dev's do once I started playing around with just a theme. I can only imagine what a rom would take. Plus I can honestly say i'm not skilled enough to put out a quality rom any time soon, if ever. I'm really not complaining about effort or quantity from the devs, i've just noticed lately there seems to be a dull in the dev section. I was just wondering why.
Eugene is back. He said on twitter that he bought a Vibrant. You can see evidence, his newest Ginger Clone version has already had 4 updates.
Sure a lot of the development is for 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms, but I'd say we're easily WAY more active than we used to be. We've now got plenty of choices of roms, kernels, and themes. We've also got new people joining the Vibe development scene. There's an experimental Gingerbread Sense that's just started testing. We are now officially supported by the MIUI team. I see new things happening every day. Development doesn't always happen overnight, but I believe we've still got lots of good things look forward to.
Slowing down? I still remember when there was only one rom in the dev section. Now there's a new one each week, and at least one update every day.

I still dont understand what people are trippin on. We have some blazing fast 2.2.1 ROMs and a few gingerbread ROMs that are stable. What functionality are people looking for int he Vibrant that we dont have?

Haha yeah I remember that too. But ROMs every week != good. Most of them are ports and aren't stable.
I really wish we could have AOSP roms so we could have TRUE development going on. None of this hack and patch stuff.

They want CM lol (as do I)
Why do we keep having these threads. I rooted my phone late last year. I have been more then satisfied. I'm just glad to have a faster better phone than what I had originally. Just have some damn patience.

Keep in mind the psychology at work here. Most of the people who get all angsty about this are rom comsumers, and not active dev's, themers, or kangers.
It appears that what we are experiencing now is a lot of cross development, taking existing roms from the international i9000 and porting them to our universe thanks to the availability of kernel source for 2.2. So the nature of activity has changed, but the scope has actually expanded.
This phone (thanks to dev work here @ XDA) stopped sucking ass A VERY LONG TIME AGO. Gains to be had at this point are largely cosmetic, so there is the appearance that improvements are not coming at the rate they used to. The fact of the matter is that quantitative improvements are largely unnecessary at this point.
As a "consumer" myself (I gave up on linux development a long time ago, owing to my own inherent laziness) I find the current state of affairs quite amazing. Your mileage may vary. YMMV.
What's funny is that people much prefer a broken ROM that gets fixed rather than a fully working ROM out of the box ^_^

Well said. It's just like what happened when I had the N1, people started to complain because the roms were so stable there weren't many updates being released.

i dont know either...
2.3 probably WILL be faster than 2.2 (duh) but besides the speed, we have everything else.
All thats going to be different is when you go into settings about it will say 2.3 gingerbread
instead of 2.2 or 2.2.1
the rest is good.
im on miui, and i switch between cm7 and miui once in a while
im never going back to 2.2.1

Very true. People want updates, but they don't know why.
If its not being updated as fast as it used to, chances are it doesn't even really NEED updating.

Well said. Someone just asked on one of my 2.2.1 threads why it was so quiet and my only thought was because everything works. Here it is everything has been fixed there should be nothing left to discuss here flash and enjoy.

That's the point for me. I stopped updating at KA6. Sure KA7 came out not long after, but why? I had been updating daily/weekly until then, always fighting some bug or flaw. With KA6, I flashed the ODIN version, removed bloatware myself, added the round battery icon, power off menu, and that was *it*. More recently I've updated the Kernel to Overstock 2.x and voodoo FS, but I'm not even sure why I need voodoo. Can't tell a difference in the real speed of the phone.
I didn't take the phone apart to add FFC like so many did (and who also never use it in most cases), so I don't need improved support for that... and themes, well... I guess there is that, not much going on in KA6 themes -- but that doesn't affect the use of the phone at all.
KA6 for me has been fast, stable, and by far the best on battery life of any I've touched yet. There are few if any programs out there that require 2.3 or higher, and until that is the case, why change?
The atmosphere is totally different than it was last fall, when the rest of the world was going 2.2 and Vibrant was stuck on 2.1. At that time, there were an increasing number of programs that simply would not work on Eclair - plus Froyo had been promised as an update. Now we have everything Samsung promised, and really if you're running a lightly modded ROM, it *is* bug-free.
So... until I am forced to consider 2.3, I'm sticking with KA6.. It is nice after years of constantly flashing upgrades on the HTC Vogue (wm6), then the G1, then flashing the MT3G constantly, then constantly flashing the Vibrant, to actually pick up my phone and have it work the same way it did yesterday.
Just got a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Extremely fast phone! Not too keen on Sammy's Touch Wiz UI but I'm sure there is/will be a ROM without it in the S2 thread (?). I'll look.
Just thought I'd let you know that a loyal user of these great dev's work is moving on :') Thanks for making my time with my X10 bearable.
Enjoy your gingerbread, and the completed custom kernel when it comes
FYI: Just got a score of 3360 on Quadrant on the Galaxy S2 *multiple faints*
Damn it! Those guys still haven't released it here

It's just came on the market here, a few days ago.
OK . It was supposed to release on April 18th. Got pushed back to May and now probably a month more.
I personally am very patient( or lazy ) but this is testing my patience.
