Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

Mate, that was quick lol. The itch took over quicker than i expected. Sg2 is prob my realistic expectation too and for about the same £pm but on 3. Keep in touch mucca and all the best with the new toy. Its gonna be like losing an arm
I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there
cya
Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!
Bye scratch and thanks to all your work.
We'll all definitely miss you here
*SNIFF*
Here goes another valuable member from the wildfire forum.
BTW maybe you'll see me soon in the SGS2 forum.
If not then I'll go for a galaxy note (I like big screens )

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Gl with your new phone, i ditched one s because they are not shipping it with krait here and are using piece of crap s3 instead.
Really crappy move from htc.
Now i dont know which one to get, plastic fantastic samsung is not for me, all others either, so that only leaves me with htc. They ruined a perfect phone.

Dear Mr Root.
Please hear our prayers to root our Gingerbread devices!! Everyone knows that stock rom's are just plain old boring, and no fun at all. We need something to play with and break We wake up each morning, just hoping for that 'miracle' on XDA.

No, it is for general information about the evo, not to start a thread about praying for root. What does this post provide? Nothing.

My phone kicked the bucket so I had to call in insurance and I was forced to use gingerbread with the new bootloader and I came from cm7 running a tiamat sbc kernal, and its not stock sense that pisses me off (however I do prefer asop) but its the stock kernal the battery life is a joke I have the 3500 extended battery and I still need a bigger battery

I dont feel sorry for the people who lost root by foolishly installing the OTA update. But I do pitty those who got a new EVO, refurb replacement, or switched carriers! That would blow. I'm surprised Unrevoked hasnt updated yet or something. No Root from the community after this long!?
Look you guys none of you know how to even start with rooting the htc Evo so don't go all like I can't believe there's no root yet.

i got my phone brand new lil over a month ago, everyone said itd come with gingerbread on it.. after i bought it of course i find out its unrootable.. but surprise surprise it had 2.2 on it outta the box.. phew!
I am done waiting, I returned my phone for my MoPho (Mototola Photon 4G), and have rooted it WebTopless, (without a dock). Also, I hate the fact that the phone has such little internal storage, and I do miss Sense, but I have a Sense Launcher. I have a Front Facing Camera, and a kickstand.
I have an Otterbox Defender Case/Holster and now I have to mod it and add dust filters for the two microphones...

I want to say many many thanks to the members and devs here in the x8 forums, thanks for making my tiny X8 more powerful and awesome to use...
but im sad to say im leaving you all behind now as ive upgraded my phone to the Galaxy S2.. and ive just flashed the official ICS and all i can say is that its sooooo worth it.
For people in the UK i strongly recommend going for the £30 a month contract on 3uk, u get the phone free and i get all u can eat data and enough txts n minutes to last me...
Ive still got my X8 so ill be popping in and out to have a play but now my new home is over at Galaxy S2 HQ.
Extra Big thanks to Paul-xxx doixhan, racht, nAa, alfs and the other people who have put in hard work for us seeking a better life for our phones.... MUCH LOVE . PEACE

i curently waiting for contract which ends in about june so 2 years with this community . now about the new toys out there i think dual core will be more then enough, quad cores will i think run a bit too fast regarding battery life. maybe like most of our ex members the single core oldies will last them through
For me its the memory and screen that were holding me up with the GT540. Tempered glass versus "touch me/scratch me" plastic and enough memory to download everything from Play Store
This phone runs stable at 1300mhz and the official CM7 is rock solid. Seriously though, there are so many roms around that its hard to know where to start... I'd recommend this phone to anyone.
yeah but soon sgs will be like gt540 old and less active but it will take a lot longer and even so it has many many many many roms to choose from. But for me i think next upgrade will be a nexus easy to unlock and well taken care of by google
All best!

I am still waiting for a custom ICS rom that has good battery life (like 2.3.5). I use it a lot on the bus and sometimes at school. i come home at the end of the day only having 15-10% left using sammy's stock roms @ 1Ghz
Replaced my GT540, amazing phone thanks to custom ROM dev. community.
Won`t sell it, I am still trying new ROMs as dev release them.
Farewell, nice choice for new phone
I have a little dilemma. I have had this my touch 4g for a while now and love it. I am currently rooted running ics on my phone. The fact that I am a flashaholic and it seems lately new things are coming out for this phone every week or so, makes it even better.
My girlfriend just got added to my plan so we ordered a HTC amaze 4g because it was free. And after looking at the amaze section it doesn't seem likes there's much going on.from what I read they are stuck on drivers. Yet the amaze it set to get the official ics update.
All that being said my girlfriend had a flip phone so anything is an upgrade for her. Which phone should I take and which one should I give to her.

I keep hearing that they have s-off on the Amaze, but it hasn't been released yet...but that's just what I read on here. I don't know it to be a fact. But I would probably take the Amaze if it were free, because I have found out recently that I don't prefer ICS. Not that I'm knocking mt4g, its still my favorite, but I feel like the Amaze will explode in development soon...

I thought the same thing but then I saw that there isn't even çm7 for the amaze which kind of made me worry about development. Thanks for your reply though
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA
Ive heard that the Amaze is a great phone, but time is ticking and the development window is getting smaller by the day. Without development going on currently, people will probably move to a new device sooner.
Just my two cents.
If you want a device for development, go for some thing else like sensation or upcoming one s. If you want a great device that works, go for the amaze.
I got the amaze for my girl and Im switching to it too.
Honestly, if you want great developer support and lots of ROM options, you should go with a Nexus. Be it a nexus S or the galaxy nexus. They tend to have the liveliest dev groups. however, if you are into sense ui, it might not be the best choice.
Forget everything. Go for the amaze. They have s-off.
Amaze is a beautiful powerhouse

The only thing I am worried about from taking the amaze is the battery life

+1 Word, never even considered the one series devices one bit. Long live AMAZE!
I've ported JoyOS on the inspire, same thing basically(unfortunately their site was down last I checked so no more updates on their end), it has a CM7.2 base. Its seems to be completely stable. Please keep in mind I've tried a few other times, this has only been because i wanted to make my own ROM for my personal use. I am by no means to the caliber of development or debugging as some of the awesome groups Ive seen over the past year. And I am trying to learn as quickly as possible about the in's and out's (coding, build prop edits, troubleshooting the whole nine as it were to keeping a rom up and stable).
So with that said, I would like to put out the port on the development forums, but am kinda weary as I am new to doing this, I may not be able to solve or answer all questions. Should I release it with what i have, keep learning, and simply state that in my intro? I saw one release of this port a long time ago, SeaPathJoyOS was the name I believe, liked it so much, that after it was stopped on dev, I made my own.
any feed back would be awesome, thanks in advance.
You can release it and see what people think of it. There may be some who can help with any issues. That's what we are all here for just remember to warn flash at your own risk.
