So how many people we really still have using and working on the vibrant? I'm feeling kinda lonely with my love for this phone =P seems like the vibrant is getting left in the dust allot quick then my G1, which is sad =/
Also side note, anyone else feel like with a SGS there really isn't anything good enough to upgrade to yet? Only phone I'd even consider is the original SGS2 or the sprint SGS2. And those are iffy due to crappy audio. Vibrant is the best phone I own period. Beats my nexus S in everything =P even beats out my HP touchpad easily IMO. Thoughts?

I just got the Vibrant about 2 months ago, as my wife's Motorola crapped out on her and our carrier swapped it out for the Vib. She wanted to swap with me, so I did and I have to say that once I upgraded it to a custom ROM, I actually like it a lot. It works well for me and what I want.
I think that most of the Jump-ship is because of boredom and not performance. I feel that and understand it. I have been there myself, but I like this phone and it is really easy to handle, breakdown (mean ADB by this) and there have been some really great customizations out on it.
Plus between the 16gb internal and my 32gb external,that is some serious storage for a phone. My old computer from a few years ago only had 30gb hard drive in it.
I am here and plan on staying for awhile.
I'm still here, kinda. My G2x is my main driver, but i still got my Vibrant and still build kernels when i have time. You're not alone

But this phones death is due from no updates.from tmobile. it just makes it way harder to develop for....
Go to the galaxy s2 forums ;-) .
You will find most of the great devs from many of the different forums there.
It seems as though Samsung shipped out yet another phone with outdated filmware lol....imagine that,
They are promising to send ics thru kies lmao ....I believe we have been thru this BS before
There are 3 vibrants in my home. My wife upgraded to the sensation and after a week gave it to my son and took her vibrant out of the drawer. I personally love this phone. Thanks to all the devs who still work on it. I have stockpiled my fave roms and kernels....just in case the remaining devs leave

I just got my Vibrant 2 mth ago from my fren who sold to me. Im not chasing the technology so i tink this phone is great for me. I like it a lot n planning to stay with it for a while longer cos i dont have the 2yrs contract matter. Btw cos im frm Singapore and we dont have Vibrant here so that makes my phone unique than the original SGS..lol. But i really dissapointed on Samsung on the firmware case and yeah this phone if rooted fly high. So i have to say i love my vibrant. Also thanks to all the devs here, appreciated what u guys have done for us n for staying with us making us great customs roms/kernels.

Any plans for IcS? I'm gonna start working on it today

ICS for Vibrant? Looking foward to this.lol
this is a great phone and when rooted does everything i've ever wanted a phone to do. although the experience with ICS will more than likely be better I'm still content with what we have so far. there are no hardcore 3d games that have pushed the hardware to the limit so I don't see any real hardware upgrade necessary. I stopped buying games on my vibrant any way cause I wasn't finishing the ones I had bought before and realized I was wasting my money. So i'm simply using it for media apps, social apps etc. These don't really need a dual core processor with 1gig of ram. The only thing I could want is an identical ICS theme and I'd be set at least for another year on this phone even if we don't ever get ICS.
Yeah, I could maybe see myself moving over to the Nexus S simply because it's got a bigger dev community and the T-Mobile version can be found for pretty cheap, but otherwise I just can't justify moving on from the Vibrant. If I don't go for the Nexus S I'll probably ride out with this until more ICS phones come out.
Hey ECOTOX, I've been quietly learning some stuff about Android and whatnot, I wouldn't consider myself a dev, not even close to one, but I'm learning and I catch on quickly, if you need any help, or have any tips, I'm here. I love this phone, and I won't be moving on to any other phone anytime soon.

I feel the same. I just don't see a lot of end user support with the Samsung products such as the Vibrant, and many other iterations. Updates seems to either take forever or it'll may never see the light of day. As for developer community? I can't really complain about their support for this device, since they are bringing out the goodies out of their own time with no expectations of donations, etc. And I'm grateful that they are cooking up roms, etc. In the future? I will be purchasing a Google branded phone: prompt updates, and great end user support. I just can't live with a dead end product, just feels like I got cheated out.
Well I just went to T-Mobile store and played with the sgs2 and I must say I'm completely impressed.
With a quadrant score of 2748 stock I'm blown away.
With my shattered screen and assurion's choice of replacement I'm sticking with my broken vibrant with miui ...I'm hoping sgs2 gets miui soon ...but I'm getting antsy and just might go out next week and buy the sgs2 outright
I must say this has been my favorite device to play around with that I have in my little arsenal of devices. I got this baby for free from a co-worker when she dropped it in a bowl of water. She was going to donate it and I immediately told her that I would take it. I sure am glad I did. To think about 2 years ago it came out with the specs it has was a breakthrough for Android devices and it still is a really strong almost unbreakable beast. I still use it on a daily basis to watch youtube videos via HDMI. Also the EVO 4g community is great with good peoples. I swear sometimes I think a noob is going be hanged when they ask a question but instead someone respectfully answers them. Great devs, great people, which will make me hold on to this device until this place becomes a ghost town which I don't think will happen anytime soon.
Please share any awesome experiences you guys have had with this device
This is the first and only smart phone I have owned. It has taken me to high levels of enjoyment and understanding. I have dived deep into Android and haven't been held back by my device.
I will say I am not happy with htc's recent trickery with their bootloaders but if they did a nexus device I would be right on it.

I still use my "decommissioned" EVO 4g daily to surf and watch netflix. It has become my "PDA." It is, however, tethered to my rooted 3devo which is running ICS and Sense 4.0 Marriage made in heaven.

this was my first android phone. i was a fan of android before i got it, and definitely knew that my next phone would be an android, so when it came out its specs made me drool. i've had a ton of smartphones since they started coming out. i had dell axims before smartphones, and this phone really is awesome. i mean, i think that pretty much any high end android phone is pretty awesome considering where we were only a few years ago before android was fully mainstream, back when your option was an iphone that couldn't copy and paste text, or a windows mobile phone that would crash when pasting. the one thing that really stands out with the evo for me is the build quality. its not *that* bad. indestructible? oh no... this phone breaks in weird places without even being dropped, like the usb port, power button, etc. but since my last htc product with the touch pro, i didn't trust htc with building anything decent. that phone broke in so many ways it was unimaginable. i was always thinking, what's going to fall off next? so, i've owned the evo for almost 2 years now, and well, i still own it. that says something.
I fell in love with it the second I had it in my hands. Android has been an absolute blast and I love that its continuously being updated and stuff. I have now moved on to the new HTC EVO 4G LTE and use my OG EVO as a tethering device for my computer

I'm not sure if I want to get my hands on the EVO LTE yet. I have been looking at the Galaxy note seems like a pretty neat device to play around with but I do want another slider. I am very partial to my slider devices
Be-careful about the tethering.... don't hit 100gigs a month.

I'm considering the Note as well. Just wondering if I will get bored with it. Been hard to get bored with my evo 4g since I can always flash a new and different rom. But the Note is tempting
This is the only phone I've owned that has kept my attention for the life of the contract.

It is really amazing, that 2 years later this phone still holds it's own. I still think it's a great looking phone, and with the abundance of ROMs available I have a hard time upgrading.
I agree with the post above, it's hard to consider upgrading when there is such a great dev community here. Thanks all!
I think that by having hdmi out for netflix makes the phone badass
My favorite phone too.

It will be sad to decommission this one... but excited about the SG3. Never gonna let it go though!!
Loved my Atrix, even though I had to replace it twice, it was great. It made me convert from the iphone to android and I wont go back. Saying thanks to all the Devs for all the support.
Upgraded to the Blue Galaxy S3, and I love this phone. It is the first iphone killer android ever released. Cant wait to start swapping roms!
Good luck and keep us informed!
Glad that you enjoyed the atrix, I myself am waiting for an update before I look into getting another phone. Truth is, I am just starting to tap the potential of this phone with the lap dock and dock unit hooked up to a monitor with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have only ever used an Alien version from Kenneth Penn (sp?) But I think I am to the point, once ICS comes out and people have a chance to play with it, I may up clock mine and put some other rom on it. I don’t think I will go beyond 1.3 GHz, but I have never even seriously looked into it. I have had the option of an upgrade, but this phone is so fantastic with the FS, peripherals and speed, I have yet to see a phone come close to all that I use this for.
Perhaps a tablet and integrated phone combo will be my next option? IDK the transformer infinity looks to be a decent tablet, and I could use that for work and easily justify it.
Keep us up to date on like and dislikes in comparison to the atrix please!

I really love the large screen, at first it was overwhelmingly large but after a few hours I love it. Also love the 720p res and the crisp vibrant colors. Also its very smooth and fluid with the 2gb of system ram and 1.5ghz dual core.
ICS is really nice on this. I think I will keep the stock rom for a few weeks before flashing a new one.
A week ago I also switched to a Galaxy S III and I'm loving it too. I'm passing the Atrix down to my daughter -- it still has a lot of useful life left in it. The Atrix was also the phone that convinced me to switch from my IPhone. The Atrix really has been a phenomenal phone for me. I'm gonna miss it. Thus far I've determined that the bluetooth radio in the Atrix is better than the S3. But in all other regards I think the S3 is an advancement from Moto's awesome phone from last year. My daughter is gonna love the car and lap docks that I'm also passing down to her. Will be nice when the Atrix gets ICS too.

I can't blame you the development community has really slowed down. Seems like lots of devs have moved on. The two best nonbeta roms (neutrino and Nottach) have not been updated in some time.The cm9 roms are nice but stuck in limbo until official ICS.
I myself went to a OneX but returned due to poor call quality. It was rough coming back to a small grainy screen but for the size the Atrix is a great phone. It carries very well.
I was very close to picking up an s3 but we had some home repair bills around the house (dead AC, blown water tank) and I'm not 100% sure if I want to renew my ATT contract or go with something like Straightalk.
Also went to a White GS3 and its wonderful. Was using CM9 and didn't realize how choppy the Atrix was til I had something better. It was a fun ride but I can't keep waiting for nvidia/motorola to get their **** together.

I really hear you guys.
I might switch to the galaxy nexus, because my phone might have a motherboard problem(really hoping that it doesn't). However I feel terrible about it because this phone has SOOOO much potential, but it's marred by laggy choppy firmware, closed drivers. The atrix is a really great phone , and I wanna see the day when it'll run as smooth, stable, and fast as the the galaxy nexus on jelly bean. I know the atrix can, and then I'll know this phone is truly complete.
And hats off to the atrix dev community, for being one of the most effective on xda, especially with our limited drivers and resources
Well add me to the list. I too went with a GS3. Love it, but I still love this Atrix. I purchased a micro sim adaptor just so I could continue to use this baby. It actually feels faster and my GS3 is over clocked to 1890mhz. Still rocking the stock rom rooted with nothing frozen for now. Battery is no where near what I get with my Atrix, but like I said ...early stages of modding the Galaxy. I still read the forums when time allows and appreciate the dev community. You have all been great and a stepping stone to the path of making this phone more then the first dualcore power house that it is. Thanks!

Inspire 4g was my first smartphone ever.
I never knew about what rooting was until i typed, "Inspire 4g jailbreak(haha silly me)" on youtube.
it gave me some results to rooting.
So i did and followed the instruction.
the link sent me to XDA.
never knew what XDA was until I looked further into the website.
For the past 2 years here on DHD/I4G , I had a great time flashing every rom.
I think i at least tried every single rom.
Im sad that some amazing rom/dev stopped supporting the dhd/i4g like....Rcmix team, Leedroid, coredroid, the family because they moved to a new phone as well.
Now that I got my Nexus 4 in my hands, I'm proud to move unto a new phone.
Flashing new roms and new stuff from different amazing devs.
Hope I have some fun time over at Nexus 4 forum!
Im still going to be keeping my Inspire 4g to play around.
If any devs need a "tester" to test something, hit me up for it.
well so long.
hope to see some of you over at Nexus 4 forum !

Have a great time @ Nexus 4.
I only registered today, after reading along and flashing my DHD for the past one and a half years..
Also thought about moving on to other phones now, but none of them really suits my need. One X looked awesome, but Hardware/Software didn't excite me. S3 works like a charm, but I couldn't stand that cheap plastic cover. Note II pretty much the same, and can't be used with one hand. One X+ is quite awesome, but already feels outdated with the DLX in clear sight - plus no LTE here. And Nokia and Motorola can't excite me either.
Maybe the updated DLX (LTE, non-cable loading, 2500+ mAh) will be what I'm looking for.. but until then, I guess I'm staying with my beloved DHD.
It simply is a flawless device.

I'm using Sabsa Prime v9.0 at the moment, and it has fantastic battery life, even with Wifi turned on and doing stuff every now and then, it holds for an entire day, with mobile internet probably more, haven't tested that yet though.
Unfortunately the ROM is taken offline at the moment, they are saying the dev copied some code from somewhere, nobody knows if it's true.. you will have to wait a few days, until it hopefully is online again. :fingers-crossed:

im pretty sure the nexus 4 will satisfy you.
at least for me...it did.
Nexus 4 is not under the contract.
(my contract ended so i can get another newer phone whenever I want + Nexus 4)
Nexus 4 has great spec for its low price.
Nexus 4 can fit into 1 hand
Nexus 4 comes with the latest updates and provides fast updates
It is pretty normal that people sooner or later will change their devices, especially in the world of Android where the new/improved hardware coming out every 6 months or so, render even the today flagship devices to obsolete within less than 1 year (look at the fate of One X).
Right now I still rocking my DHD with ARHD 6.3.3, it is still runs very fine since I bought it brand new earlier this year except for battery which is already shown the sign of decreased performances. So, congratulations for those who had already have One X or the shiny new Nexus 4 in their hands! See you in that devices forum next year when I have some money to throw at that flagship.
Nice. Congrats

Yep, I got a Nexus 10, so I'm doing a little trade with XDAer cdromo90 for a little Nexus 7. He wants to give the XOOM to his nephew for a larger screen, and I will probably give the N7 to my nephew for his birthday in a couple of months (his mom got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I think he's been bitten by the Android bug, so I want to make sure he gets off to a good start! )
As one of the very first people to own the very first Android tablet, I have to say it's been a great ride. I was one of the lucky ones who got a VZW 3G XOOM on day one at a discounted price ($200 off) due to a glitch in Motorola's system (You guys remember THAT? Ha! Still one of the best deals I've ever gotten hands down!). It was my first experience as an early adopter of any device, and I have to say it's been a great experience! To see Android tablets come from Honeycomb and grow up to Jellybean really made me appreciate being on the cutting edge. Not only has the XOOM gotten better with every Android update, but even to this day I feel like it's still good enough for a daily driver even with all of the new tablets coming out, not to mention I still think it's the best built, best looking tablet to this day (I love the N10, and a few other tablets have been ok looking, but the XOOM is just a marvelously well built piece of technology.) With custom Jelly Bean ROMS and the ability to overclock it, I felt like it still had a good amount of life left in it, and I'm happy to pass it along to someone who will still use and enjoy it instead of it sitting in my closet as a backup.
So, off I ride into the sunset. So long, XOOMers!
My old wifi Xoom
Team EOS is keeping my Xoom interesting with their Jellybean 4.2 nightlies. There still isn't much I can't do with this old tablet. And like you said it's still the best built and best looking tablet around .

I agree, but I jumped to the N10 when I began to doubt the Xoom would get 4G with JB 4.2. I'm glad I was wrong on that, but now I wpn't give up the incredible resolution on the N10.
The Xoom is definitely showing its age but its been pretty awesome to see its performance increase from 3.x to 4.0 to 4.1.
Enjoy the Nexus 10, I'm mildly jealous but I'm waiting for next year's nexus 10" and really hoping its built by Motorola.
Funny enough I can't see myself parting with my Xoom. It may overtaken by newer devices but it is a fine solid bit of kit and can just be retasked to other duties. I saw one being built into a car as a multimedia centre. There will always be a use for it until it dies

My XOOM is my baby and I'll never let her go. That is, unless, maybe Motorola decides to build a worthy successor. I refuse to say the Xyboard is even a thing.
I just sold my 4g Xoom for $225. I will surely miss it. I am sad tonight.
yep. i just leave my Xoom goodbye yesterday. I bought nexus 7 3g and I'm really happy. the top reasons to consider nexus 7 are: less hand fatigue, 100 % so portable, fast software update,good customer support( service centre just in front of my house), its an Asian product and cheap. reasons to dump Xoom: lack of software update, Motorola doesn't keep their promises, bulky,hand fatigue, not really portable, most of all, hard to play games especially when pressing button. so goodbye xoomers.

I thought about selling my Xoom when the nexus 10 came out. I decided to keep it and avoid the hassle of selling the Xoom. Also decided to buy a nexus 7. Really happy that I decided to keep the Xoom. I really like the fact that I have the LTE Verizon version. Also like the fact that it has a camera (and a pretty decent one at that) and HDMI out. It is starting to show is age a bit, but it's no doubt a well built quality device. I'm sure we'll never see key like pie, but Team EOS and CyanogenMod have kept the Xoom relevant with their hard work on 4.2. I'll be keeping mine for at least another year.

I'm tempted to purchase a new tablet but my xoom is just so well built and still works extremely well for my casual usage although its showing its age. I'm more tempted to buy a galaxy s4/note3 when they release then a new tablet though.

Just ordered a Nexus 10... But hanging onto my XOOM just in case... Should be interesting. I think I'll miss my built in MicroSD Card Reader the most...

I love new gadgets and some of the new tablet screens look great but I haven't found anything I can't do on my old xoom. Getting itchy for a new toy/tool but will keep my xoom. I did give up on paying Verizon for data especially when they can't be bothered to update the software and support their customers. I will never buy another Verizon branded tablet. Many thanks to our developers for keeping my xoom up to speed.

Same. For someone who has never owned a tablet, it's great. Reading is a pleasure.

for me xoom is one of the best old tablet. i have use it for more then 1 year. but, one thing for sure, when i play games or reading when i hold it, makes my hand fatigue, therefore i cant hold it for too long. so i decided to buy nexus 7, and that is a wise decision

My XOOM entered Hall of Fame, I will never let it gone.
As I did do the same with my Casio Agenda, HP 24C, HP 48G (it was stolen, unfortunately) and my Palm Life Drive.

I am on EOS4 build184on my WiFi Xoom and its running perfectly. I'm overclocked to 1600Mhz and its running smooth and fast. JB 4.2.1 is not meant to run on this old processor but Team EOS has managed to make my Xoom run like the best of tablets. I do have to mention the fact that I am using a 3rd party keyboard and Nova launcher to get past some of the shortcomings of this old hardware but I'm satisfied with it.
