the future of the vibrant

Aperently samsung dose not want to update this phone anymore so what will happen to the vibrant
i believe our phones are in the hands of the developers to make roms like ics passon that will be the closest thing to the ics rom that we will get

Well considering my contract ends in october, im not worried about this phone anymore. Switching to verizon

my contract ended a long time ago we jest havent swiched providers

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones. Ive only used custom roms, but if I had kept this 500 dollar phone stock and never received any updates/fixes for it, I'd be pretty pissed. I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....
Thank god for XDA

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

Overlooked the Captivate because I thought this phone would progress more development wise

I got my 2 phones during the valentines special for free. I love this phone thx to XDA, CM and now ICS Passion. Updates from TMO or Samsung? That ship has sailed... a long time ago.
I don't worry about that anymore, CM7 is running just fine, lets get some bugs out of Passion and we are good to go.

I agree, if it wasn't for team toxic I would have sold this phone a long time ago.

Since im on an old em+ plan that doesnt cover subsidized phones, i paid full price for my vibrant. Barely had that phone for a year and i fully blame tmobile for the piss poor support. Never again. Im much happier now with my galaxy nexus.

Cm9 alpha release for shift???

I've seen posts about cm9 alphas in other threads. Has there not been one released for the shift? I guess these are compiles by folks but I haven't noticed one mentioned for the shift. I was just curious if any of you guys know of one or have ran one. Maybe I have overlooked it.

Evervolv uses a lot of the CM members source code. That's about as close to cm9 as your going to get for now.

toastcfh has been working on cm9 for the shift and the 3d but since hes a perfectionist (which is a great thing of course) he hasnt shared with anyone to try yet that im aware of. itll be worth the wait im sure

Rest assured, there will be a million threads about it on here when it's posted. He's working on it still.

By the time it's done and said most shifters will have moved onto newer phones lol.

Gotcha. I agree that its good to have someone with high expectations working on it. The more, the better. I was just curious. It just seemed as if there was more chatter about alphas in the past few days.

Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

I just got my shift maybe 2 months ago. I love it. However, I wonder how (with CREDO Mobil) I could shift out of it if I wanted to go to the Nexus.
Though, like Vicodan, I am waiting til the ICS Slider comes out. I love having a physical keyboard..., i've tried a number of ROMs and I always go back to the CM7 w/Scary... yep. The others just eat way too much battery life for me.
Please oh please, ICS..., come home soon. It is my birthday week so, if there was ever a better time..now would be it.
Thanks to allt he Developers working out the code! You are all geniuses for sure.

We have root for the sgs3 look in the development section.

Yep don't have my phone yet, but the great Chainfire has got root, on dev thread.
I will now be looking at running backtrack on s3, got it working on the Arc, drivers for the s3 might be forthcoming due to the popularity of the s3.

Any MiUi News

Any one seen any news on Miui roms for S4 Galaxy 3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I don't remember my source unfortunately, but I was last under the impression that private beta went our last Friday to the testers. However, that could easily be false. Regardless, SOMEONE will bring it to our phone. The One X (AT&T) has it, so it isn't a processor issue. We have CM so it isn't really a software issue either. Just need the developer to deliver and maintain it

Did anyone see a post where anybody could take a CM9 Rom and convert it to MIUI?

Guys at MIUIAndroid are working on MIUI for the US version of GS3.

Hate to go off topic but what is the "flash counter"? I rooted my GS3 a few days ago and although I haven't encountered any problems but I'd hate to find out I did it wrong down the road later

The flash counter is a counter that goes up every time a custom software is flashed to the phone through ODIN (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It can be used by carrier techs to see whether you have rooted your phone and voided your warranty.

Glad to hear MIUI is being worked on! I Cannot wait!!!

V500 has more like the UI of G3 and VK810 has the UI like the G Flex JB.

I hate to break it you, but I don't think there will ever be any good ROM for this tablet unfortunately. I've been waiting for a year and there has been no progress in that time. For what ever reason there is no interest which I figure there would of been since Verizon was giving tons of these away for free. The current CM11 Rom is ok but has a LONG way to go. We have root so that's a lot right there, but don't hold your breath for any roms.
