Yes my fellow supersonic users, it has been a fun couples of months to have this phone. Though it has its flaws it has been good to me. However, I am switching to simplemobile because their plans cannot be beat. I will be on the sensation forums from now on. Good luck with CM9, ICS, and Sense 4.0.
Goodbye,

I have NEVER understood these threads! NO disrespect to you dude BUT if you're not a developer or a themer or just someone that has contribute something to the community.....DO you REALLY think, honestly that ANYONE cares?
I hate to sound like I'm bashing you or trolling BUT I'm getting tired of these threads......AND you could say that I don't have to read them BUT they make it hard to find things and even help out when there's 100 "I'm leaving" threads for people that NOBODY gives a rat's ass about.....When Kushdeck left XDA, did he make a thread??...hahahahah...NO, he just left! PEOPLE STOP IT with the "I'm leaving" and just LEAVE!!
Alright, enough about my rant....GOOD LUCK in sensation land, I was thinking of making the jump BUT decided to stick it out for something better!
Hahahaha.
Mazda, I was thinking same thing. I saw a 'bye' thread and clicked on it, only to find that in my 2yrs of Evo ownership and flashing,....I'd never even seen the authors name once,...ever.
Sorry OP. No bash or anything, but I seriously don't understand users who are not developers or something making a tread like this. Hell, even developers don't do it.

Well, I never said I was a dev or anything. I actually stated that I only had the phone for a couple of months. You have not seen me post much obviously because I have a low post count and I'm a lurker. However, I always give feedback to the devs for the ROMs I use and I answer questions in the Q&A threads whenever possible.
I knew that no one would miss me, and I really don't care. I just wanted to say thanks to the community for making having this phone an awesome experience.
I was hoping I get a reply from a user or users also switching to a sensation or perhaps I warning not to switch because maybe sensations are actually "POS".
So, once again. I give a genuine farewell to OG Evo owners. I sincerely hope that CM9, Sense 4.0, and stable ICS are in your near future.

Wow, why so much hate for an innocent post?
Flowsick, good luck with your new phone! I'm also an OG Evo owner, your post made me lookup the Sensation just because I haven't kept up with new phone releases (really happy with my Evo) and I was surprised that the Sensation has a much better dev section and more roms than the Amaze 4G. It even seems to have a Sense 4 rom!

Right! But its all love over here. That's the main reason I'm switching, because of the qualities that make the sensation a great dev phone and for 10 more bucks than I'm paying now I can have 4G.

I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.

Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.
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 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.

Is it just me or is Epic development almost dead?
Two-three months ago there was CM6,MIUI,CM7 and more original roms in the works,what happened?
Yeah i know that for CM7 they are waiting for official GB to drop but what about CM6 that was 90 percent finished and MIUI that was almost finished?
I know that we still got roms but most of them with exception of ACS and few others are mostly remixes and tweaks of stock rom.
Our Epic is way behind Vibrant,Fascinate and Captivate.
It's just you. Don't knock what the amazing developers have done for us. We have plenty of roms and we will have plenty once gingerbread drops.
I agree. Feel free to learn how to dev, though. You won't sound like a detractor from the forum.

good point
i got more thanks tomorrow.
This is my first experience with custom ROMs and I for one am very content with the amount of development for the Epic. I have looked at other forums and yes there may be a larger following, or more talk about development, but a lot of it seems to be garbage. I have flashed and used a few different ROMs now and they are all solid with few if any bugs. SRF is what I am running now and I have not found a single functionality issue. I also love that the Epic devs continue to improve their product instead of releasing some piece of crap ROM and never touching it again. Also the relatively smaller quantity of development makes things like qbking's videos possible and help all of us learn to better utilize the phones potential.
I say cheers to the devs for what they do and the time they put in! I could never accomplish even a portion of what they do. Thanks guys!

This is my first experience with custom ROMs and I for one am very content with the amount of development for the Epic. I have looked at other forums and yes there may be a larger following, or more talk about development, but a lot of it seems to be garbage.

This.
Quality over quantity anyday our devs cook up some amazing stuff for us.
Sent from my SPH-D700
I love this phone. That is all.
Sent from Godot's place.
we have several quality ROMs and Themes to choose from
It should come as no surprise really. There are 3 main reasons why it may seem development is slow:
Small community. Meaning that our sample set in which developers are drawn is smaller. Thankfully, this phone was top notch in hardware when it came out, so it increased our chances of having very talented developers since it naturally drew people who seriously appreciated hardware. Hence, why we have a small number of developers but they're all very very good at what they do. It could have ended up with a small number AND not a lot of quality.
Touchwiz. What I mean by this is that we're still waiting on a fully functional AOSP based rom, with CM7 being the closest to completion. Without it, all there is to develop on is touchwiz, and we've pretty much exhausted what we can do with it (so far). Once there's one ROM on AOSP, that allows for more ROMs to be developed on AOSP. Plus, the completion of CM7 could very well attract developers who prefer to develop on AOSP to try a couple projects, and have simply been waiting for CM to be completed. This all ties in with reason number 3.
Froyo. Like touchwiz, we've pretty much done all we can do with it. With the release of gingerbread, it'll open up a whole new opportunity to develop. Remember, we went through the same thing towards the end of eclair's life. Not a whole lot of development, and everyone really just waiting for froyo. The difference was, however, that everyone was itching SO BAD for froyo that a lot of projects were done on DK28; we were truly behind the times then, and so even the developers were willing to play with a leak. Not so much now; we're not AS behind the curve considering there are still few phones (besides newly released ones) on gingerbread. This, too, is much like the anticipation of an AOSP precedent as mentioned previously: it's quite possible that there are potential developers who are simply waiting for gingerbread to be released before coming to this phone.

can anyone explain to me how the mytouch slide 4g has cm7 and overclocked gingerbread kernels with out gb source?

I don't know, but the easiest explanations are:
More developers? Better chance to figure out the kernel drivers on their own.
It's made by HTC? It's pretty much a known that samsungs kernel drivers are always wacky, and in general, what one phone has doesn't neccessarily help with another. With HTC, their kernel drivers are a little more consistent across phones and it's easier to make things work by borrowing and tweaking.
Linux loaded modules? Don't know if it's relevant, but it's possible to use these to overclock a phone in a round-about way.
There's something that really needs to be laid to rest here regarding the arguement that everybody gives saying "we didn't get cm6 when froyo source was released, so how are we gonna get cm7 just because of gingerbread source?" Two reasons:
One: we only had one dev working on it, noobnl. Now we have a TEAM. And each on is just as if not more talented than him.
Two: we didn't have another device to kang any AOSP driver source from. With cm7, our team borrowed what they could from the nexus s 4g. And rest assured, they DID get a little use out of it.

It's the same phone as every other HTC phone, once they get something working on one all the others get it pretty quickly.

then by the same logic, since the i9000 has gb, we should too? the only difference in the mytouch4g and most other htc phones is a keyboard and 4g. sound familiar?
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

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

Long story short, it's been an unbelievably enjoyable ride with the Epic 4G, but it's coming to an end for me, since today I sold my Epic 4G...
From the days of learning to obey forum rules and respect developers under the help of @kennyglass123 , to testing out various ROMs with @xboxfanj and many others, to taking simple mods into my own hands, to seeing the Epic breathe a new life with @bbelos and @Unjustified Dev in latest versions of Android, yes, I've gone quite a long way through the Android world and it's the help I received and tried to offer that truly made me grow!
Before departure, I'd like to thank again those who have helped me / I have helped, it's you guys that endured my occasional arrogance and language gap as a Chinese!
Also, thank Samsung for HAVING PRODUCED such a nice phone that accompanied me for almost 2 years! <-- which means they don't do good phones anymore
I'll still occasionally check up on here and offer a hand, but until then... Au revoir!

Nah, I have to use Nexus 4 daily so CM+Franco gets to stay. AK and Bricked are a bit too customizable.
