Has anyone else noticed the Devs are slowly leaving us for more updated devices? I for one would just like to express my gratitude to each and every one of them! I think I've tried them all at some point! I'll be joining you with either the one x or galaxy s3 as soon as my contract is up! I salute you!

No doubt it's quieter now in the development section but still there has been some ICS roms released in the development forum. I know ARHD is expected to get a new DHD version as soon as HTC releases the ICS update.

Even when you think development is slowing up, there will always be someone who keeps pushing with it.
You read this article --> http://www.xda-developers.com/android/blue-angel-finally-receives-android-port/
Yeah, i moved on to the One X as all the devs have done so.
But it's sad that development is pretty stagnant for our DHD's now, flashed nearly every ROM thats in this forumm
Guess it's time to sell it

Thats good to hear. And lol about the phone.
sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Most all the devs are on different phones as right now there is more going on, more to do. Desire HD is mostly just waiting on HTC to release ICS drivers and kernel source.
I think it's a shame too, but it's the natural progression of things.
I like to keep the Desire HD ROM list on my site up-to-date, so I check a few times a day, but it has been quiet recently.
For anyone who has changed to the One X from the Desire HD, is the experience somehow much better (apart from the novelty of having a new device)?
My contract has 6 more months. I hope to get and support another decent phone, come that time. I'll still support and update lists for the DHD, for the foreseeable future.
Hats off to the devs, of course, for doing the real work.
It does seem that development has been a bit less vigorous than it used to be, but there's still some really exciting work being done. Currently using IceColdSandwich, which is a contender for the best ROM I've ever used - developed in the past several months. The Primo-S based ROMs are pretty good as well. Think we'll see new versions of the old favorites (LeeDroid, ARHD, etc.) once HTC releases ICS. In my view it's worth hanging onto the DHD for another year.

Coming from the Desire HD, it is a nice improvement. Not mind blowing, but still a great upgrade.
In terms of the battery, my usage has not changed and I get the same, if not slightly longer, time between charges. As per screen shots below.
|
I still despise HTC Sense, but it has great features that you would not find on AOSP or CM9 for a while, namely the camera.
If you've been reading the One X forums you'd see a lot of negative posts & threads. Don't let them put you off, negative "press" will always out number positive by a factor of about 15 (once told that by a marketing & PR guy).
Yeah. If I could get one now, I would. My finances are such that, I should really wait for my contract to expire, though.
Funnily enough, I already copied and pasted a One X onto my site, just to see what it looked like! I'll be keeping a close eye on new devices, for the next 6 months.
Trying to squeeze as much juice and performance out of that quad core, by flashing different ROM's, sounds like fun. So too does using NFC for the first time.
Yall know the development isn't dead?
dont get all emo, you guys should be worrying if the forum hits legacy forum LOL

In that case, as soon as they come to Japan, I must track one down in a store and cop a quick feel.
I think that the devs will no longer mantain their roms... The reason is REAL life.
On free time they will develop the rom for their actual device, like they made with DHD some time ago.
Complaining is useless, trust me.
I think i will sell this device...

Actually, as mentioned by shaky above, there are many devs working on "their" roms whether they are ICS roms (on which the work is slower) or GB roms, on which the work is slow as well due to them being mostly bug free.
I was in no way complaining! I was honoring the past, present and future devs of xda! I was fortunate to be here during honeysense, ARHD, lordclokan, and many many many more to many to list while typing via my phone! I praise you all!

anyone care to enlighten me how the hell some people are getting 34megaflops on the EVO... am i doing something wrong... ?
They are getting it because they are testing out Android 2.2 but it's not fully functional. It'll be here eventually.
nope... people are reporting 34mflops on the unmodified sprint evo on 2.1... ill have to find the post where and who said that...

Honestly, there can be no way. My Hero was doing 2.1 - 2.4 on Fresh 2.1.1, "factory freaks" idea aside there cannot be phones that perform 10 times better than others of the same kind (using the same software). That would also be claiming a 6 times increase over the EVO when both are on stock ROMs.
I guess it just brings be ye olde saying, "don't believe everything you read on the internet kids".

Just curious, I dont understand how youre not completely happy with your evo, numbers aside. I couldnt wait for my evo, been waiting since it was a supersonic, went thru great effort to purchase it the day it came out AND be able to root it as soon as i got it home. Well, @ this point in time imo this device needs nothing other than a few apps,screen protector, and a case. and im a COMPLETE MOD FREAK.Its like the whole time i had my hero i spent it trying to make it into a phone like this........well now i have it I will root once i can reach my custom recovery from the device itself and can delete/write to running system,....I purchased a htc rubberized case(only one they had) and a scratch-proof/privacy screen protector, and man i couldnt be happier with my new EVO, kind of ironic if you actually knew how much modding i did to my hero....my point is that idc if some app said my evo got all zeros and an ipwnd got 100w/e unit of measurement, i could care less. All that matters to me is that it can do what i need to without breaking a sweat.Maybe i dont understand. What do you use your evo for? Maybe some things that i do not perhaps.....Just remember, those who search for flaws, will unfortunately,eventually find them Good luck with your EVO though, hopefully you can find the desired numbers and will than be as satisfied with yours as i am mine
could you list the apps you ran these in?..looks interesting , i would love to test mine
Magnus, please don't quote such large blocks, and use standard fonts...drives me crazy.
Anyways, better performance on Evo means better utilization of hardware, which each notch up means one step closer to helping those poor battery issues.
Not to mention, who doesn't want a speedier device!?

Aaaaaand time for everyone to stop and breathe.
Sense will be part of it (sense has provided a LOT of additional functionality behind the scenes that most people don't ever think about...and thusly is kinda on the fat side). The other part of it is potentially the same thing that's killing some of our batteries (The Calendar Wake Lock issue)...if it's running constantly, it's probably eating up some cycles too.

EDIT: Jit cant be enabled with sense ui, as of right now. I heard cyanogen said of a way, but i havent seen it working yet.
When they run linpack and get higher numbers. They arent running sense ui or htc at all.. I as of right now, i have the highest scores for gsm hero and cdma hero that have been posted to the website (we share scores on the linpack website). I had jit enabled running an AOSP rom with an OC kernel, also known has darchdroid.
The incredible might still be running sense ui. But for the hero no.
Good bye hero. Thanks for...
1.) Random calls
2.) Lagging keyboard
3.) Force closing
4.) Overheating on wifi tether
5.) Never downloading anything from market until i turned wifi on/off.
6.) Always lagging so I end up not redialing someone, but dialing the last person I called/ who called me.
7.) ****ing bootlooping whenever i try jit or any jit rom
8.) Not supporting better porn sites
9.) Not printing money or making me an island and flying me there.
Thank you Htc Evo for...
1.) Everything
The evo prints money and puts you on islands? Damn I can't wait to upgrade!

Lol 10char
so i was finally able to afford the wifi only Xoom, and i knew i wanted it over the ipad. Reason being, I have a HTC Evo and before that i had an HTC Hero.I've rooted them and flashed them with diferent roms,kernels, themes, and all that good stuff that we can do on our "open source" OS that IOS cannot. butttttttttttttt........
after playing with the Xoom for the past 2 days i kind of do not feel satisfied. Main reason for this is the apps.... i love using apps... Android seems to have less than 100 tablet optimized apps and that really sucks for me. its been a month and a half since the release of the xoom.
things making me want to keep it:
-sd card
-very customizible (if thats a word)
-i tethered to evo and it was blazing fast on 3g
-not wanting to be like everyone else that gets an ipad
-eventually i guess.. more free apps
-camera has led flash
-youtube app
etc...
and just because its freekin Android... (gotta love it)
things making me want to get an ipad2:
-currently has more apps
-even though it has lower resolution screen looks better
-faster response when flickin
advice??
ps.
how much longer till we get about 1000 apps?
Serious advice: sell/return it and get the iPad.
Reason for advice: Nevermind that you can use loads of current mobile apps on the Xoom, if what you're looking for is a buttload of tablet apps then an Android tablet is not for you... yet.
the apps will eventually find their way on the xoom and other android tablets. Remember when you first got your Hero how many apps there were? OK there were more than 100 but the number of apps has grown exponentially over the past 2 years as more and more people acquired android smartphones. The same will go for the tablet - and as more and more ppl acquire android tablets the bigger the market for developers and the more apps we will find. Developers will need the honeycomb sdk to optimise their apps for the platform and whenever it gets out to them we will see the number of apps grow exponentially too. It may take another 6 months or so for our favourite android apps to become tablet-optimised.... And what matters to me is not the number of apps but their quality: I don't need 100 fart apps on my tablet and if you look at your smartphone you'd realise you only use a small number of apps (up to 30 maybe?). It is those apps that have to find their way on the tablet platform, I don't care much about the other ones I'll never use. Whenever they do, you'll be far more satisfied with your device. In the end it's all down to us and our commitment to the platform. if there's no market for developers there won't be any quality apps for us to play with.
Or just do what I did and buy a xoom and an iPad 2...
haha
I know I was annoyed that a lot of the non-tablet optimized apps appeared shrunk on the Xoom screen (with the fixed dimensions of a phone); but after downloading Spare Parts and disabling compatibility mode having the apps fill out the entire screen makes these apps look less awkward.
Get the ipad. Android isn't about the apps. Its good because apps aren't needed to make the device functional. Its good because it has a full browser and file system and its good to tinker with. If you simply want apps apps apps then it isn't the platform for you
Wow... i dont want and ipad...but thanks for the encouragement. Lol
Thanks Sejanus for informing me about spare parts... instead of telling me to go buy an Ipad u actually made me love my Xoom even more..
Advantages of having a Xoom are more and better than having an ipad. Like i pointed out in the first post.

Hmmm, you also pointed out in the first post that you were not satisfied with the Xoom because of a lack of apps and that one of the reasons you would like to get an iPad was because it had more apps. I'm not seeing your logic in your second post.
I don't have an agenda with a specific OS, people should get what they like.
Anyway, it's good that you're not going down the route of evil
Here's what android 3.0 aka honeycomb will look like soon

But seriously, I think if you need mega apps right now and you can't wait a few more months for Honeycomb apps to appear return the Xoom and get a ipad 2(or even an ipad if you want to go cheaper route), but if you want more then just apps Xoom is what you should keep. Also remember google apps(ex. maps, navigation, etc) will always be perfected on Android before iOS stuff.
I pawned one of my nuts ... hell, God gave me two!
Can I point out that I'm a developer on the android platform and I'm currently working on a Honeycomb app at home, and once we cover the beaurocracy, our company will be releasing honeycomb / tablet optimised apps too.
Also, these apps can and have at times taken 2+ months to build from the ground up.
Honeycomb is a huge difference from previous versions in terms of the application design and workflow.
You need patience for these things. If you want something quick that's optimised specially I'm sure I can throw a couple of apps together, iamrich or a nice multicolour screen torch, or something in 5 minutes...

Did everyone go buy a Microsoft Winblows Surface or what?
I've had the 10.1 since day 1 in the US.I watched the "Development" and the "Original Development" forums start out slow then swell to huge numbers where there was a new ROM every day it seemed.I remember when JB came out and we all started out with Darkman's German release ( I stayed up most of the night hitting refresh as more and more people commented on the progress of their individual downloads to see who would be the first few to flash it) ...now it seems very quiet indeed . I dont think there has been a better tablet made yet than this one (as far as pure hardware stats go plus the s-pen) sure a few have higher stats in one area or the other but from my research I would say that 8013/8000/8010 are still King.Possibly with the exception of 8020.
Anyway Ive rambled long enough but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.Again the question was.1)Has ayone else noticed a drop off in traffic in "Note 10.1 Original Android Development" & "Note 10.1 Android Development"?
2)Why do you think its happening?
Thank for reading.
You aint special
There just havent been any news on the note for a while.
I got the nexus 4 and im spending most of my time on their forums nowadays

I think you're right. Fewer posts, less frenzy. I guess our beloved Note 10.1 is old news now. With consumers 10 second attention span, those of us with Notes are "so yesterday". That's okay. I still love mine and plan to keep it for long time.

I have also noticed a lack of participation lately. Checked Ebay only 58 used vs 203 new active auctions for Note 10.1's. So........ not a lot of jumpers.
I had expected to see more posts last night as a new build was pushed out to me yesterday.
But all seems quiet.

Don't forget, as the weather improves in the Northern Hemispere more people are getting outside for RL activities. Forums see more activity when the weather outside is uninviting.

samsung have pretty much nailed it for me, with the stock rom, so for the 1st time no need flash anything else.
I have also noticed a decline in activity, but I plan on starting kernel development over the summer mainly for baked#8.
Don't expect any miracles as I am only just starting developing

Only device i have that is Fine stock
I would agree with some of the others above and some from other post in this forum. The note is one of the best most well thought out android devices. The only device i have ever owned that i have not played with the rom on. Thou Im considering the extra mutli rom app to add a few non muli view apps to mulit view.. But with that said more and more apps are becoming available for multi view.. Samsung has done well with the note no doubt..
Conclusion is.. There is less people in this forum because there are more people Happy with the Note and what it offers Stock. Rom dev has slowed because the note is great as is. Also i will add i think its a tougher device to mess with its Rom due to s-pen and the touch wiz
...
Erica Renee Loves her Note 10.1..... I will play with the roms and themes on my toy The nexus 7 .. I have 6 different roms multi booting on it ...

I thought I'd hate TW, but other than rooting it (and upgrading the kernel out of habit 'cause that's what I do for a living anyway) I run a Stock ROM.
more updates will come and new ROM will be made .. 4.1.2 has been out for a while and 4.2 should be coming soon.. also not many things wrong with note on stock and cm based ROM is not taking advantage of the note full features.. Maybe Google will add some of Samsung features in android 5.0..
Just read last night that the note 10.1 has only about 3% of android tablet market share. I was surprised it was so low. Maybe that's why there isn't a lot of activity.

The price point is too high for the note 19.1or 8 to get much market share. Samsung is rolling in the dough because of carrier subsidies of their high end phones. If those end, they're going to have to make adjustments to their pricing or they stand to see their market share fall.

Let's hope Samsung can unbreak JB 4.2. Nexus device owners are reporting in the Google Code forums that BT remains broken in the latest iteration of 4.2. Audio BT seems completely broken (including in auto BT systems) while other BT devices may connect but then shut down, requiring a device reboot. Merging Android into Chrome doesn't bode well, which seems to be the direction Google is going as evidenced by the shift of Android to the manager of Chrome.

Looks like the results are based on devices that install their app. Not really an accurate gauge imo
I used to frequent the Asus Transformer forums a lot because I was going crazy with installing different roms and doing whatever I can to the device. With the Note, I actually use it for pretty well-defined purposes and so I haven't really had any inclination to change it in any way since it's already so damned useful. I mean, once I got the multiwindow to work for all apps, I didn't need any additional customizing so I only occasionally glance at these forums. :/ The troubles of being so good.

That's pretty much true. The N7100 forum is pretty quiet too. Want to see a ghost town, go check out the TF700 forum. The Note 10.1's nine months old which, in the tech world, means not so fresh anymore. I still wouldn't trade mine for anything. So, no news is good news. Samsung's been pushing features of their newer devices down via updates so 4.2 with some of the SGS4's stuff should give us something to talk about.
Just curious how many people still actually have a xperia play and what model.
Mine is the hdmi tp model whats yours. Also what do you typically play on it. Custom rom? OC'D?

I actually bought my Xperia Play last year. I have the Verizon R800x variant and it's been a great device for gaming (that's all I use it for). I'm currently just running stock rooted 2.3.4 GB with CWM recovery because I've found that this setup gives me the best performance for gaming. I've tried a few different ROMS and tried Turbo, Lupus and Doom kernels, but keep coming back to stock GB because it seems to perform best for me.
Mine is VERIZON R800X, rooted, unlocked Bootloader
Had it since launch day and still using it as phone and gaming combo. Was just recently, yesterday, running Slmbean JB OC'ed at 1305 for a couple months. Started having some issues with battery drain and some other issues, so I fugured GB was the way to go. Currently running Gin2Blur 2.3.3 custom rom, rooted, OC at 1305. Plan to flash Adreno Booster.
Still have r800i. Not as main phone, but as time killer when needed (Lumia 630 is my main dial/sms/web browser phone)
Flashed to infinity and beyond with roms and kernels
Still alive, two flex cable and 3 batteries replaced
Beside, i still didn't win in Collin McRae 2 championatship in expert mode, Still have to check compatibility of FF7 in final fight, and FF8 is still on disk1. I'll check that when i finish Spyro3 all working nicely in PSXperia (fpse tends to lag on stock speed)
Fixed my screen a few weeks ago(R800i). Haven't used it in years

Do you have working touchpads, without the frame dip?
Still at it. Aftermathematics.
Just as obsessed with my PLAY as I was on that sweet night of June 2012.
Opened this legend 4 times for changes:
one for orange housing,
One for flex cable
One for earpiece replacement and digetiser( may fault, damaged cable when changing housing )
And one to make it white again. Obsessive, I know. But I've never been this close to any of my devices before. Still (not so) active on fourms, running gin2kitkat, and as game often as I can. Still a hell of a surprise to people when I slide out that sexy, sexy gamepad. ( just last week some dude asked me wtf is this amazballs thing. Thought it was a PSP go unroll he saw me calling someone)
Even in 2014, this Phoenix copes really well with newer apps, but not that well with newer triple A titles.
But emulators? OMFG. Works sooo guud. Goddamit I'm tearing up.
11/10 would buy again.

I still have this phone. For almost year I was using S4 Zoom and since December I returned to Xperia Play and I'm using it as my normal phone and console. I really love it and I don't see any possibility for changing a phone (I need phone with gamepad ). My play is from april 2011 (second Xperia Play in Poland - won in competition ). I so loved this phone. I'm working on best ICS ROM from Krisdee - but I'm looking for good JB ROM (KitKat and Lollipop still have so many bugs).

Had mine for 3 years since last month when touch screen stop working and I don't really know the problem :silly: , so it will be resting for a few months
After wanting one for years, I finally got one during Christmas last year, (Had a Lumia 610 before it, yay upgrade) so I can't see myself upgrading any time soon. Recently, I got another one to fiddle around with the experimental Lollipop roms. Flippin' the pad out on the train and watching people become confused is glorious. And the "I haven't seen a Sony Ericsson phone in years!" comments always crack me up.
Best phone I've ever had and probably will.
@TheVicious no friggin way. Thats amazing.
I never won in my life anything except this .
