Why is the DEV section for the Epic so shi**y?

is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?

My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.

Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.
The Evo community is thriving though.
Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.

i was just asking a question...thanks for the answers fellas

I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.

I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.

Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

Who else is done flashing Roms/Kernels until Cyanogen comes to the vibrant?

I'm done flashing anything. I stopped on Axura and that's that. It's Cyanogenmod or bust.
I'm not even doing the beta crap either. I'm waiting for the first..maybe second, non beta official release.
anyone else?

Did you call the newspaper and let them know? This could land you on page 9 of the local nitwit section

I like Axura. Just flashed 2.2 today and everything is fine except i havent been able to send a MMS yet. Im sure ill get it fixed soon. 2.1 was running great for me. Guess is should of just kept that one.

I'll hold my breath for cyanogen the same I do for samsung. I've used cm on various devices, and while good, what exactly is it going to bring to the vibrant that team whiskey (or any other current dev besides axura) doesn't? They have bugs and issues, maybe not a ton, but they're there.
I'm happy with my tw vibrant.

Hey Vegas have you tried using handcent from the market for sending mms? It fixed my issues.

Guys, some pretty childish posts in here. It's a valid discussion for the general section. If it's not worth your time then just don't post in here.
Op,
I'm running r13 and don't think I going to flash anything else till a stable 2.3 rom or cm comes out.

I Agree!
Cleanup thread!
Deleted Off topic.
Please keep the topic of the thread!

I started with the G1 and have flashed too many ROM's to remember. I have found quite a few that I liked more than Cyanogen. Even though he has done a great job, just his name on a ROM doesn't make it the best there is.

not me!!, I'm going to keep flashing everytime there is a new rom I think is worth trying out, after all how will I know if I like something better if I don't try it?

What has the world come to? How can anyone call themselves loyal XDA followers and not be flashing a rom??? Its your duty.

Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

here's a pic of the zenexp rev7. Now imagine this updated but better with more than 10 themes. It'll be awesome. We need to encourage the developer to finish this project.

Sent from my Eris using XDA Premium App

i would like to see this reopened.

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!

Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.
DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.

Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.

The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Best rom in your opinion?

So after surfing the roms for 2 days to see which one suits me better
I came across the rom mexxdroid preghostchilli which is pretty cool its fast has a cool theme and some nice animations it also has this bootanimation thats awesome and it has sound
So i decided to keep it as my default rom until a new version comes out or the honeycomb port. Ecomes stable and fast
Know its your turn to share your thought on which rom you think is the best!

Can people pleeeeaaaaseeee stop making these threads??
You will find someone with each ROM that's happy with it. Everyone has a different feel for what works for them. You don't want to use the ROM that they like, you should use the ROM that you like.
This thread has been created dozens of times with a myriad of answers already.

The above poster is absolutely correct. Each user will have individual tastes and desires out of a rom. I suppose all of this delves back into the ultimate issue of overall user experience. Perhaps why the CM line is so successful is that they unify that experience across a multitude of devices and generally make sure things work.

I'm very happy with Virtuous Sense v2.0.0

Best one I've had so far pyromod. Super fast and my battery does last longer than 24 hours now with pershoot's kernel. Does have some issues with installing apps from the sdcard.

I agree with the above quote however to answer your question. The answer is bulletproof miui. Backup your existing rom and use rom manager to download and install.

In my opinion, PyroMod. A2EXT runs smooth on my phone.

Image in the post above is awesome.
Calling one ROM "better" than another is an insult to the devs that work hard to give us these ROMs. Each ROM has its own merits. A better thing to ask would be "What is your favorite ROM?". Even so, there are many threads on this topic.

THANK YOU.
I always thought the Mexdroid/PyroMod p*ssing contest was extremely immature. I like the eye candy behind Mexdroid, but PyroMod has the speed.

I happen to like Virtuous G-Lite the best because it has the best battery life and it is definitely the lightest and fastest-performing ROM that I've tried. That being said it doesn't have a lot of the addition "features" and styles of other more custom ROMs but through the use of GO Launcher and just replacing a lot of the stock Android apps with others it is pretty much infinitely customizable. For instance, pretty much the only stock android app I still use is the phone dialer. I've replaced the messaging app, gallery, camera, launcher, and even browser (XScope is pretty awesome btw, thanks Amazon App of the Day).
That's just my two cents but it really is a personal preference.

The lastest Virtuous Unity beta. Seriously, the next stable version will be amazing...
Sense 3.0 run so smooth on this rom!

Onskreen from Cornerstone is open to all.

It is now open source. There is a ROM for the WiFi Xoom. And the source code has been released for the dev comunity. Team EOS where are you? 3G Xoom ROM? Any way, just wanted to put this out there.

Runs fairly well in my opinion.
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2

Tried installing on it my UK WiFi Xoom, but it didn't really work.
First I tried to connect to WiFi - it saved my WiFi network, but wouldn't connect to it. After a reboot it connected.
Second when attempting to log into my Google account I tapped in the email field but the keyboard would not appear. I had to hit the back button for the keyboard to appear.
Third it kept saying that I had input a wrong password even though I'm sure it was the correct password, so a no-go getting Gapps to work.
Based on the hassle with these seemingly three simple things (have flashed several roms and never experienced this) I hardly doubt that this rom will be a favourite of mine anytime soon...

can anyone video-review it?
is it just the same as their ICS SDK vid?

This whole thing seems like a security no-no.
(I don't install any rom that's not completely open source and from an established and trustworthy team.)
Also, while this is a neat idea, ultimately it's a framework mod and unless it goes into AOSP, which I can't see happening, it looks destined to the gee whiz niche.

So I only just found out about onskreen a few hours ago...

Sorry to hear it's been pulled but it's understandable...I had some stability issues. But it will be a great addition to EOS ICS Rom once it's been worked over.
That's one of the reasons why these nightlies are so exciting--you never know what fun surprises are in store!
Thanks a million, guys.

How much tweaking can be done to this? I mean since its open source then we could tweak it as much as we want, no?
