SGS II Motion Features

I wish the vibrant would have cool features like the new SGS II is going to have.

Do you think the devs will be able to bring some of these features to the vibrant/I9000?

Looks like its using the accelerometer. It could happen if we have a touchwiz 4 port.

I hope my aging vibrant gets all the new whiz bang features of every new phone that comes out so I'll never need to replace it too! LOL. Thanks for the laugh. Trust in the power of the XDA community and a lot becomes possible.

Your Welcome

Hey, that's what I'm here for!
That and to continue my flashing addiction.

Yea it sure would be nice to skip the cell phone store and just come here to update my "outdated" phone.
Luckily we all bought a phone that has some incredible, lasting hardware.
Should carry me through at least another year.

thats really cool!
Thats touchwiz 4?
Don't we already have that?

I think that is the gyro, and from what i have seen online, vibrant also has it, and it should be enabled when we get gingerbread.
and when this phone comes to tmo, and i team it up with my samsung series 9/macbook air... I WILL RULE THE WORLD <evil laugh here>

Checkout EDT's website in their early releases in the donator's section.

Yeah, only thing is I hear the audio hardware isn't as good...which sucks

I have a feeling your vibrants are getting touch wiz 4 very soon. Keep an eye out for a new GB rom. Very soon. ;-)

Not exactly trolling .. was genuinely curious. First time I noticed it.
As for the matter at hand? I hope so. Get this ish out. I'd wait for the Prime, myself. Being a direct link and what not. Choice is all I want to see.
So, 'Matty' at hand ...

Ugh, I really want this phone or the Prime but I am getting fed up with Sprint's service in my area.

I am really intrigued by the sg2. However, I'm scared about the lack of software updates. Isn't the Epic still on Froyo or did they finally update?

Gingerbread has had about 8 leaks for the Epic.
But it's still not official.
I'm not worried about updates if AOSP is going to support it.

I hear you, but the developers will most likely be a key factor. Aosp runs great, but is too bland foyer my taste...even with a third party launcher.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I think given the rumors of a 4.5 inch screen and 720p resolution, I'd rather wait for news of the Nexus Prime.
If for some reason it doesn't come out on Sprint right away, the SG2 would also be a worthy upgrade.

Hopefully your right but seeing the support the epic gets in comparison to the other galaxy s phones I would wait and see myself. The one thing I hated about my epic was touchwiz and there aren't any alternative roms that have it taken out. But I do have to say the gsll looks pretty awesome.

Srf 1.2 is a Froyo rom with the option of no touchwiz. The best rom on epic IMO.

Yes totally. The word goes out to NB. He is the man. In termed if my next phone. Well I can say that even though galaxy s is almost 2 years old it still has good support from xda because of the awesome hardware. So next phone will have to have hardware just as good or it won't get much support.

They mean Samsung Touchwiz ICS.
They bloat and put a hell more features and the package is about twice what AOSP ROM is.
Look at CM7 size and compare to Froyo Stock.

Wow! Where did all the new Development come from

Hi everyone,
I only pop in from time to time to check on Vibrant development for someone else. It's only been a few months but last time I left, the CM7 roms weren't fully working. Now there seems to be 100% complete ICS roms.
That's great new for everyone. I'm just curious what was the break though that helped? Samsung released more source code? Inside leak of a in house ICS build?

SgsII and.nexus s icses helped i think.. theres also.a.leak for another gsI i think...
But.mostly.we jjust have kickass devs
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

ICS Passion started us off. Neobuddy used the source from Nexus S (ithink) and built a ALPHA>BETA>STABLE ROM, after which more ROMS started showing up but they were pretty much Passion. Then CM9 showed up. AOKP showed up. Now we actually have a diversity of ROMS to choose rom.
This phone is great, thanks devs.

Its amazing, here we were waiting for a decent GB rom to come around and before you know it, ICS Roms as stable and good as froyo start popping up. Seems very few phones have ICS roms this good.

I expect ALOT of people to move on next year, specially since its around the time most of our contracts will end anyways. I'm not sure which month it'll end, but whatever phone i move onto, i know for sure it won't be as good as this. All these nice guys around, the devs that actually communicate to users, yeah i'll miss that.

Really has been pretty unbelievable how they just continue deving this phone. It has to go down as one of the great phones, with the exception of crappy tmo updates I can continue to wait until gs3 drops and is tested or just grab the HTC phone that just hit.

Petition for S4 features on Galaxy Note.

I'm a fan of stock android. But this time i think Sammy really outdone themselves because software features on latest S4 got me excited. I really like the health and smart pause features on S4. So i encourage devs for porting that features like those Multiview and smart stay before Samaung release it in official update. Thanks u devs. I think xda forum is the best to do it.

Wait long long. It will never ever reach the Note officially if not ever.

Off topic:
Don't forget Samsung sucks in their updates.
I look for every attention in detail and their widget is still not aligned properly.
I'm talking about the 5x1 widget. Not the ugly widget that they stick in your face.
As a designer myself, I find that horribly disgusting and completely unprofessional.

In the best case, and to be realistic we can only ask for wallpapers, ringtones and live wallpapers from Galaxy S4. Notes is already old. If you want features from S4...just buy one.

ok, lets start with the wallpapers then ;p
Robbie might port some possible features ..theyll show up in his rom first

Yeah. See voice talk app v and t are small.
Not professional.
In gingerbread there was Music player.
Check settings, there are few headings with such mistakes too.
NOT big issues but finishing touch and overall quality is poor.

I would like to see feature updates available as a paid premium from the Samsung Apps store.
We have gotten our money's worth. Granted the Note N7000 should get 4.2.2 before the final chop on support, but beyond that, updating touchwiz, s-pen features and other Samsung exclusives could be easily done with a paid app update.
Remember how with Windows mobile 4 phones had a paid upgrade to 5? Maybe nothing so extreme as to be charged for an upgrade within the first two years of its release, but afterwards, to keep the phone fresh and new, I would gladly part with my hard earned cash.

By the time SIV feature apps installed on Original Note (oNote) there isn't enough memory to run them. Good Luck!

you know why? Cause Sammy was just making a dirty port of Note2-JB to our Note 1...they were not interested in doing it properly just for the 'old' Note...
So these features will never come to Note 1 officially - they are just leftovers...
