got to agree. does seem a bit quiet. i am keeping both (well, the inc goes to the daughter but i will keep tweaking it for her) so i want the devs to keep working on the inc.
It's probably temporary, the Inc community will last for a while.
Sent from my Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Recently (as in a few days ago) coming from an Eris, which was 'end-of-life' in the middle of last year, and then received Gingerbread almost instantaneously after it was released to the public thanks to our fine devs here at XDA, I highly doubt the DInc will die out any time soon. This phone has way too much potential.
I expert it do die down in time, but the CM machine will keep chugging. Honestly, so long as Cyanogen has a DInc ROM, I'll be content. I use launcher pro, and prefer stock android over anything else, so not having new versions of sense isn't a big deal to me. Sometimes I like to jump on the MIUI train, but I always end up back with Cyanogen. They always support their phones so well, I imagine development for cm will continue long past the DInc's shelf-life.
I think even if it does dwindle, it will only be minor. As long as we have CM and a good maintaner we should always have something new and better to throw on our phones. The only thing is I've always wanted to see AOSP roms with tv-out but I see very little future in anyone dev that now that interest in it has died down.
I have been tryin z roms lately with very good success, and their cameras are the bomb. Aosp is nice an smooth, but i like the option to switch atound alot, plus cm camera just isnt that good. Im runnin miui gb now, with zero issues, kinda shox me for a first release just how good this rom is. I would love to see gb sense though just to have it.

The devs have shifted focus to the Thunderbolt to give it a jump start in the root and rom arena. After this happens I'm sure we'll seen new stuff for the DInc again. Shoot! Someone will probably port the TB ROM to DInc.

I can't speak for all developers but I myself will be returning to work on the Inc as soon as the major crap is done with the Thunderbolt such as CWM and CM 7. I'll still be here but not full time just yet.

I just don't see the rom being much better granted the new Sense might be cool to look at.
DINC // CM7 RC2 // SLAYHER#9
I may be completely wrong in saying this but i think the tb is actually going to increase the amount of dev on the dinc. When you look at the evo and dinc there are roms that run on both. From what ive heard of the tb its basically a evo just a lil bit better. So as soon as a good way is made for easy transfer of rom from tb to dinc or to evo we will have more options on the dinc. Plus as soon as the problems are sorted out of how to get tb roms and code to run on the dinc we will be getting more updates to stock releases.

Good to know you have our back.
I had an Iphone 4, didn't like iOS so I decided to go check out the thunderbolt, I was less than impressed. No 4g around me, and I didn't want to pay $100 on top of giving my iphone 4 back. So I picked up an incredible, and couldn't be happier. Its such a solid phone. Perfect size.
I personally cannot wait until people start (hopefully) coming back to the Inc, it's been dead here lately, more than usual anyway.
Don't want to see the Inc die.

Makes sense, I watch the EVO forums still rock, Nexus One forums will always be rocking, and with the Inc being such a close relative, just surprised activity has fallen off a little.

I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...

I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.

I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.
That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
Sent from my MR1 V4 Remix 3G using XDA App
I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.
Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.
Yeah I think we just have to be patience

what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.
I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.

honestly relative to the size of the small root community there are tons of options for the end user
aosp alone has miui, cm7, tsm poolparty, liquid, omgb, omfgb...with all still in active development
sense has dozens of roms, from sense 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5 to choose from
i mean what else do you want? 500 new roms a day?
and really to put out new roms it takes awhile...ive personally been screwing around with 2 or 3 side projects in addition to the roms i have out for this phone and the samsung fascinate

Yes you are right. There are a good amount of options. I am also grateful of how well most of the Roms work for the Inc2.

So now that CM7 is official and nearing from my opinion a completion and MIUI is being worked on and becoming more stable I was just curious on what others had to say about a Sense Rom. I know it's been talked about before and ports have been released on here but they never seemed to kept being worked on. So is their any chance a Sense Rom(even sense 2.0 or 2.1)would be considered as a next project to try and run on this Phone or is it something that simply cannot be achieved?
Just curious don't flame me lol

well now that miui is RC and stable (enough)..hopefully him and other dev's will look into seeing if sense can be worked at. I know CM9 might be next after CM7 is finished but hopefully besides that this will be under consideration..It would be awesome if it worked
Ok I'm gonna start working on this again. Wish me luck.

ugh i know it was XDA'S #1 development phone once but i wanted to stay up to date and got the mytouch 4g...not one of my best decisions i know but eh its whatever lol^-^
So, I have been eyeing this phone as well as Samsung phones in general for quite some time. I have to say, you guys have been more the patient in your wait for an official ICS release. This kind of delay doesn't fly for HTC users... and from what I am seeing, the HTC EVO 3D will likely release ICS before this phone... which is very surprising to me. But the most surprising thing is that there is no animosity over here about that.
You guys impress me.
Well the leaks we have received are definitely stable enough to hold us over. The majority of us are waiting for the kernel source to be released!
2 different companies doing the same kind of work. Nothing says one will beat the other. The job is done when its done.
Ive had ICS on this since the day I got the phone. Basically used an upgrade from another line I had so I could get the hell away from Evo3D. I was always an HTC fanboy but that device is the biggest POS I've ever had the pleasure of owning. And went through 4 of them (Had since launch). Waiting to see what happens by Nov to see what happens next.
There is something called life, and people live it. Why waste time waiting for ics when there are so many other activities to do besides pimping your phone?

So, I have been eyeing this phone as well as Samsung phones in general for quite some time. I have to say, you guys have been more the patient in your wait for an official ICS release. This kind of delay doesn't fly for HTC users... and from what I am seeing, the HTC EVO 3D will likely release ICS before this phone... which is very surprising to me. But the most surprising thing is that there is no animosity over here about that.

I own both phones. Until the recent virgin mobile leak for the Evo 3D, the Evo didn't even have a decently working ICS build. For the longest time the dual camera setup prevented working cameras in any ICS build and even to this day there isn't a single AOSP rom that isn't without major missing features.
The E4GT was much better off than the Evo 3D for the past few months and to be honest it still is since the only 100% functioning ICS build on the Evo right now is sense 3.6 based which just doesn't compare to sense 4.0. Yes official ICS may release first for the Evo, this will indeed greatly improve the phones ****ty original sense 3.0 gingerbread setup but it will still only be sense 3.6. Yuck.
Trust me, I've got no reason to hate on the Evo, I've always been an HTC guy and own an Evo 3D afterall.
O yea the evo design and 3d already have ics

Been an HTC guy myself....had the EvO when it first came out. Upgraded to the Evo3D and kept that for a month and swapped for a Sam'sung Epic 4g Touch....best choice I have made. Love this phone....not a die hard fan of ICS.....but Love this phone.....trying to talk my wife into switching to the Epic 4g Touch from the Evo Shift

+1 AOSP ics for the win. Yes kernel source would be nice but we are getting by just fine for now.

I had the evo 3d and it was probably the worse phone ever. Too many hardware problems with a really bad design and HTC supposed to have good build quality lol. Sense 3 kind of made it slow for a dual core. I have yet to use sense 3.6 but it looks ugly.

I thought the same thing. I swore by htc since my apache lol but the 3d made me switch to samsung.
And samsung users are more mature than htc users. Htc forums were always full of drama

I've been running ICS since February on the e4gt, but to be honest, I really don't find a big difference between it and gingerbread. Really just incremental upgrades. So, I really don't understand the huge clamor for ICS from the user side, when it's more of a boon for Google and the manufacturers who can use a single release on both their phones and their tablets.

Same with me. Been an HTC fanboy... and I don't know why. Their products have been crap for a long time. I am waiting for the SGS3 to drop.

You don't belong here.
I will say this much..
Just because something is newer doesn't mean it is better.
Change for the sake of change as opposed to improvement.. it is..
IMHO..
