Database Users

Why is the DEV section for the Epic so shi**y?

is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?

My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.

Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.
The Evo community is thriving though.
Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.

i was just asking a question...thanks for the answers fellas

I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.

I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.

Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

thanks to svetius for giving us a notion ink adam section! http://notionink.wordpress.com/ and this tablet should be on the market very soon!

I am very interested in this tablet. I would like to see how much interest the community here have on this tablet. That would be a make or break factor for me on purchasing this tablet.

I am hopeful that there will be some interest here at xda as well but I am confident the stock adam is gonna be awesome out of the box. Any hacks and mods discovered by the xda community will just be icing on the cake.

I bet you anything the once people get there hands on this tablet they will be trying to port the firmware that comes shipped to other tablets lol

We really need a section in XDA for this tablet. If it was cracked there would be a crazy ton we could do with it.
Thanks OP for reposting this thread.

If enough people want a forum for it, we'll add! I'll keep an eye on this thread

We don't have an adam section yet but if enough of us show interest we'll get one soon so keep posting here for now.

Ah, your comment got me excited there.
On another topic, if anyone here hasn't seen the Notion Addicts forums you should head over there. Basically a community of people all waiting for this product created by the Notion Ink company. The forum was announced mid November and already has over 1100 active users and 3000 posts. Not bad at all.

Thanks for the link to notionaddicts.com I am a member there as well. Also for chat see OP.

i originally pre ordered the 101 then cancelled because i really had no clue when i would get it because the date kept getting changed. i then bought the g tablet and while out of the box it was bad, i had fun hacking on it. in the end i just wasn't satisfied with it either so i returned it. now i am hoping the adam will be the tablet that i am searching for,hopefully it will be the one(for about a year or until something else catches my attention)

I am very excited about this tablet! Wanted one before iPad was announced. They have taken their time getting it out (still not out but soon....) so hopefully it will be worth the wait! They worked very hard on writing good tablet software on top of Android so they can really compete with iPad. I can't wait to see what they came up with!
I support having a group for it for sure!

Indeed, I would like to see this also.

Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

here's a pic of the zenexp rev7. Now imagine this updated but better with more than 10 themes. It'll be awesome. We need to encourage the developer to finish this project.

Sent from my Eris using XDA Premium App

i would like to see this reopened.

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!

Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.
DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.

Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.

The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Because... well, why the hell not?
But let's change the core idea a little. Instead of picking which rom you think is the best, just vote for which ever rom you are using right now. After all, if you don't like the rom you probably won't be using it.
And as for all those haters out there, I actually think this kind of poll is good for the developers. Companies hold polls all the times to compare competing products. It's a good way to see how well you are doing against your friends and rivals. Furthermore, a low popularity doesn't mean your ROM is bad. It might just be that you are relatively new to the scene, or perhaps your users simply don't venture to the dark corner of the universe called "General".
So vote on people! The results should be quite interesting.
P.S. Only roms listed in the [ROM LIST] thread are on this poll. So I apologise if your rom is missing from the poll. Go blame it on splish2010 instead

now this is what is called a competition

The highest score is going to be the one that must numptys use and the one that breaks most phones .Never answers users help posts left to fend for themselves or waste others time answering .
Not the best rom though how can anyone judge best beats me .

well, right now Stock firmware is leading. So all of your assumptions you made are correct - Samsung seldom answers us.

With ROM kitchen leading i guess most votes are coming from Froyo users.
For Gingerbread there's plenty of better options than (beta) kitchen right now...
This topic should be 2 separate votes: 2.2 and 2.3

Perhaps. But once ROM kitchen Gingerbread goes out of beta, most of the froyo users will probably upgrade to Gingerbread. So the results are still relevant.

performance is great better than 4.3 maybe. it's hard to quantify. My a500/a501 hybrid is in bad shape the power button fell out the other day when the kids dropped it again that and the holiday and the other devices on my desk are all slowing down my progress.

Thanks very much, I was hoping against the odds that someone would work on KitKat for this tablet. Keep working and I can't wait to get AOSP for this one! <3

Thanks so much for your continued work on this loveable old tab.
Haven't moved off your last 4.3 build but looking forward to your first 4.4 release!

Once at least WiFi is working I might build this myself and test it out. I can't seem to find a repo from your github page but then again I never really was good with github... I'm excited to tinker with this; even if I can't fix anything.
