Hell no its not dead,i scour all the phone sections looking for new ideas for roms and seeing what everyone else has going on and as old as this phone is,i believe the development for the OG is straight out blowing other development away,these sections are dead compared to the OG EVo,keep up the great work guys,i'm sure theres alot of peeps that very well appreciate all the great roms for the EVo.
Damn straight. I'm glad to be a part of the OG Evo community! Seems like we had at least 3 new Roms pumped out this week alone! Not to mention the countless updates. This community is far from dead.

It may be an old phone, but the devs are still pushing to make the evo better (with roms, kernels, and more). i love my evo :good:
Obviously development is far from dead.

I'm loving all the development we have for our old phones. I just flashed digitalkarma jackpot edition with the new underworld v.8 kernel! EXT4 ON SENSE WHATS UP. good times.
I find it amazing that our Evos (meant for gingerbread sense) are now running jellybean. This is some kind of witchcraft!! We have the best community. If you beg to differ, TO THE DUNGEON WITH YEE!!!

I'd call it dead. I haven't changed roms in the past.. what, 6 months? Most sense roms now are very terribly themed sense.
Ics and jelly bean is unstable.
Or maybe I've had this damn phone for too long.

More like froyo sense. Of I remember correctly, we didn't even get full gb. Or get updated versions of sense. But we have sense 1.0-4.0 and all android versions. All thanks to the awesome develop we have. Doubt any phone has that.

Glads you guys are still developing for the Evo 4g. Love this phone and I don't want to switch to another. Keep up the good work.
I love the support for this device but I agree with Scott. It'd be wonderful if people started making the switch to the Evo LTE, the lack of support there is discouraging. Jellybean for the OG but no Jellybean for the LTE, something isn't right with that.
I agree this is the most versatile phone on the market,it can withstand any flashing abuse we give it.
There are so many Roms out there for our OG EVO. I am currently running Team D.I.R.T V7.77 Deluxe Edition. A great Rom!!

I think most developers are moving to the Galaxy S3. Freeza's there; Myn is gonna bring his Warm ROMs over; clark44 is there; fergie; and that's just a couple of the devs for the Sprint version. Cyanogen himself has both an AT&T and T-Mobile S3. All versions have builds of CM10, which I'm using right now. There are already a ton of TouchWiz ROMs, and at least two devs ready to port MIUI (just for the Sprint version; other variants already have MIUI).
I honestly thought that once you got S-Off on the Evo LTE (lazypanda, not htcdev), development would accelerate a ton. The lazypanda S-Off almost got me to grab an Evo instead of the Galaxy. I hope development picks up a bit for you guys.

Well i love the hardware this phone came with, and I didn't think I was going to at first. But to be honest, the lack of custom sense roms is driving me away from this phone, virtuous has too many bugs, and even vanilla android roms are in short supply. The G1 had more things to try, and for obvious reasons, yet if there is no more support for the G2 in the near future to compare to the G1 I'll be getting rid of this thing asap.
Aww man that's sad to hear. I hear you though.
I am using the VillainROM Sense+Rosie. I also tried Virtuous and CM7 (I know not Sense, but the latest/greatest). I love the ROM I have. If you have not tried it, I recommend it. There is almost no support for it, the thread for it is all but dead. But I have had no problems.
same here
yeah i dont like that theres no actually fully working sense rom/s i got this as an upgrade and i like it but i use my vibrant more just because the vibrant has so much dev support and here on the g2 forums theres hardly any updates, where over at the vib forums theres updates every if not every other day. im thinking of trading the g2 for a mytouch 4g

God only knows how much time/effort/money HTC put into locking down this device and ensuring that it wouldn't be rooted and hacked away by the development community.
Despite all of that, we have root, S-OFF AND very good developer support behind one of the best Android devices on the market.
If you want more developer support, maybe go for a Motorola Droid, or maybe a Motorola Cliq. Those devices have GREAT developer support behind them... =P

We will get more newer gb sense roms when a working kernel is ready. It slowed when tbolt came out, but the inc 2 will not slow us, neither a just that much of an upgrade imo. When our kernel is ready, you will see many varieties of ports for the dinc.

we'll get more ports when we get a gingersense leak. That rom is so outdated haha virus new port based on the htc kingdom sounds like its going to be a huge success for the evo.
A bit of perspective
Although I can feel where you are coming from on the fading of interest I wanted to chime in here to relay my recent experience with the incredible and its devs. My wife and I both had eris phones and were both rooted and running custom roms. The phone unrooted is almost unbearably slow and painful. Rooted is much better but still the phone itself is just so antiquated. I pushed Verizon to up my upgrade date and recently got the Thunderbolt. My wife finally got fed up with the eris and her upgrade date was too far out to push up so I got her a used incredible locally for about $170. Now comes the part that blew me away. The guy I got it from had it stock and never rooted. I did the research and was, as i said blown away with the sheer simplicity of the rooting and clockwork recovery rom experience. Thats all aside from the beauty, speed, screen brightness, perfect size, and overall satisfaction of the phone. I truly almost prefer it over my thunderbolt. The rom factory may be slowing down but this phone is an amazing device overall and the devs that have put time into it are to be commended in the highest. I can only hope that cyanogen and the others make my thunderbolt as amazing of an experience.
cant wait for gingersense. running CM7 2.3.4 but miss sense.

I disagree. Several awesome ROMS are out there and it seems like we get another new ROM every week or so. Admittedly, some are more awesome than others, but development is defintely still on-going. That's the beauty of this device - it was so far ahead of it's time.

Windows is a non issue.. once you flash an android rom (w/ Linux kernel) the windows phone os doesnt matter as its just hardware at that point. Android rom uses the Linux kernel to communicate w/ hw.

I have noticed things are slowing down too. I got a Thunderbold day 1, which I love, no looking back for me, but my wife still has a Dinc, and I am always looking to update, it is currently running Myns Warm Z, not much else right now.
I am not sure it is slowing down so much as people are finding that what they have the love. I personally still flash a few roms every now and then but I always tend to go back to one... because It has the most of what I love. I think that always happens. I use to see this when I was running windows mobile htc 8125, people said that everything was slowing down but I think it is more the fact that you have know tried most of the ROMs. When I first got this phone I went through and flashed as many roms as I could. a few of them I am not going to try again until they get a few more levels up since I was not satisfied but there were a few that I really liked and I have flashed them when they come out with a new one. BUT I do always go back to my main rom.
So after all that I dont know if it is slowing down since I see new roms out every once in a while. I think that I just dont have the interest to flash them as often since I can say, I have already tried that. I will wait 3 more version before flashing that again...
You may have noticed that I didnt use one rom name since I do not want to discourage any ROM developer. They all do an "Incredible" job here no pun intended. Keep up the GREAT work and happy flashing.
SoBBie
I hear what you're saying, but there is still a lot of great work going on. The release of skyraider 4.0 was huge, and there are still a ton of roms being actively supported. Between CM7, MIUI, LiquidMetal, the z roms, and the stock sense roms, you can get just about any look you want.
It seems though, that most new ROM work, including ports, are the same old bases reworked with a twist. CM7 is nice, but doesn't have Sense.. The desireZ ports are nice, but still 2.2.. as with Skyraider.
I'm sure not knocking any devs work.. I use them and donate, just wish we had some new work coming our way... especially GingerSense!
I still see lots of development for the Inc. I am definitely really glad I got rid of my Fascinate for it two months ago.
Just my $.02
LOL, I'll have my ROM up and running soon... coming out of alpha soon...

This is probably one of the better communitys of developers and users on XDA. although we do have little fallouts from time to time (were human right? )

Oh yea forgot to ask...
Why didnt you just get a better, newer phone instead of the shift? lol jk.
This is a beast of a phone
Welcome aboard man, you will see that the Shift should keep you more than happy when it comes to a phone, great camera pretty amazing performance and some of the best AOSP and Sense ROMS I have ran, I had an EVO and got rid of it when I broke it and ended up with a Hero then the Shift and I'm perfectly happy now that we have source for overclock and everything, I don't think I'll be "upgrading" anytime soon.

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run.

I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I may be seeing you soon. Lol want to jump ship from this sprint bandwagon so bad.
Thanks Xbox for all the amazing ROMs, support, and dedication making this phone last far beyond any other phones of it's time. Love seeing people's brand new phones with inferior software than that of my 2 year old epic! Keep on keeping on man. Optimus G folks don't know what they are about to get

Kenny was refering to the discussion of other phones.. Not the Goodbye in general to Xboxfanj.
Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

Go with an Optimus if you can. My dad has the S3 and it is nice, but worse than the OG. I'll miss all you. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Good luck to all of you.

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
