Where are all the devs?

Will this phone end up with terrible development such as with the original epic?

Probably not, these are new age modders who think just because they have a certain device it should come with all bells and whistles that take a good 6 months to develope. Did I mention they want it now!!!

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

I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.

Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!

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.

Where did u hear that from

Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

How long until a stable ICS ROM ?

I currently have the Nexus-S 4G, running Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 and LOVE this ROM. but want a bigger screen phone, so looking at the Epic Touch 4G. I tried the ICS ROM for my Nexus-S that just released this weekend, and I liked it alot, so it got me wondering, before I get the Epic 4G, will wait for a god ICS ROM.
How long until a stable version is out roughly ? I don't mean 100% rock solid perfect like the official Galaxy-Nexus, but something good enough to be used as a daily. December or so ?

It's anybodys guess.. We are all wondering the same thing but obviously no one knows.. Even the developers that are working on a port don't know. There is no use asking.. people are working on this as a hobby and Samsung doesn't even have a firm date on an ETA. Your best bet is to keep tabs on ICS progress in our development section..

One thing.if phone has good hardware,it will run ics.even htc hero,wich is a low-end device runs it already.so for your phone,its just a matter of time.and one more thing,dont ever ask devs for ETA's.they are not full time developers,this is mor like a hobby for them

forget asking when an ICS rom will be available, I'm more concerned with finding out when the MR from Sprint is coming.

The source that Google releases is always for the current dev phone, in this case the galaxy nexus. Our phone has completely different hardware. Porting ics to the epic touch from scratch is a full time job that carries a salary of 50,000-100,000, I wouldn't hold your breath for someone to do it for free. So in other words, whenever Sprint/Samsung releases/leaks something for the epic touch

Some good easy roms.

So I have on order from tmobile 2 of these phones for my parents, they wanted to upgrade and learn how to use them. But coming from well... I nokia bar phone, and a old samsung slide phone, this change might be a little big. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good stable roms that are easy to use, have somewhat decent battery life. Or even if should I just stick with the stock one? Thank you guys. -CptSamir

I just released a ROM earlier today.
_Thursday

Personally I would let them knock around the stock rom for a little while until they get used to android and then try a custom ROM later.

Since they're for your parents, I would leave them as is, stock. Chances are, they're never going to understand or utilize the phone's full potential. Unless you plan on always being available to immediately troubleshoot any and all errors/issues that might/will pop up with a custom ROM, stock is the way to go. Even stock blows away other phones available.

If this is there 1st foray into Android, leave it stock. The worst thing you can do is have a custom ROM on it, then have it do some weird stuff, and they are up a creek when they go to the store to have them fix it.
If they want to mod the phone and mess with it, let them make the choice and let them learn to do it.

You could at least root and debloat the phones.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I wouldn't do anything to them, this phone is good stock. The last thing you need is them accidentally going to recovery and messing with something they shouldn't.
That's the best thing to do IMO.

Ya, trust me. I know my parents. My dad cannot turn on a computer, my mom pulls me every 2 min to help here "troubleshoot" a problem she is having, like finding the next button, or save, or...well. anything. Thank you for all the replies. I will stick with the stock rom for now and see how they like it. Hopefully (wish me luck) they will go from using the phone to just make calls, and use the phone to help their lives.

Current-*Samsung Galaxy S2 (stock)*|*Htc Sensation (rooted w/ XE Dr. Dre Beats Technology)*|*Samsung Galaxy Vibrant (rooted w/ cm7)*|*Mytouch 4g (stock)*|*Mytouch Slide (stock)*|*Htc G1 (stock)

Pretty much it depends on your parents understanding of Technology my mother I got her into android I gave her my old Vibrant custom rom and all and from time to time i would update it to something newer and she would get how to use it pretty quick sure she has had some issues but if your knowledgeable enough you can help em in those snags as for ROMs i would suggest Bombaridier personally my favorite

I would just stick with the stock one personally. And this is coming from someone who in the past ALWAYS flashed a custom rom on other phones.

I'd flash a custom kernel, like darkside, because it make the phone much smoother
Sent From The Best Phone of 2011

I vote for stock as well. I am still on stock (rooted and bloat-frozen) and it works well for me. If we had MIUI, then I would recommend that because your parents could easily cusome the look of their phones to their hearts' content without alot of knowledge and without great risk.

Yeah stick with stock, they wont notice the difference anyhow. Its not like they're gonna go overclocking/undervolting the cpu, theming or all that good stuff. My guess its they just want it for what it is, a phone

[Q] Galaxy s II or not?

Hello All,
I’m seriously thinking of selling this phone and going to an HTC Sensation. My main reason is ROM support. We really have a few ROMs and all are really the same Stock with modifications and different themes and colors.
However with the HTC sensation, there is Ice cream, MIUI, ice-cream sense, etc. basically many more options.
I was so pumped to get this phone at the time I sold my HTC sensation but I find myself checking the Development threads ever hour, daily for a miracle. I don’t think Santa is coming.
I know I’m going to hear it but give it to me everyone, Should I sale or wait? I’m on the ropes.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes I have the Sensation, well the XE, and I would have this phone over the GSII anyday. The specs of these phones are similar, but the sensation has more in resolution. Also I use ICS as the only rom. I might try Sense 3.6. Also the Sensation may get a port of HTC sense 4.0. So get the Sensation

Hm. Let me see this. But we have other good devs. Either way we will still get a AOSP ICS ROM with maybe CM features, or others that can conpensate for it. And Sense is pretty!!! I would stick with HTC. And from a non developers POV (lulz) The HTC has nice Build Quality.

I love how the hone looks,white Galaxy, Im glad to have it. But I would rather have an ugly looking phone with great software.

I asked the same question when I first got this phone, but I realized the limited roms we do have does our phone justice, although I do wish we have the i9100 dev support, anyway this phone over any HTC phone, besides the one series

Stay with it. It'll have great ROM support soon. The reason we have little ROMs is because people are getting bored of Gingerbread, and are waiting for ICS to be released. Then there will be tons of ROMs! Great for flashaholics like me

CM7 for the speed(?) and customizaton
CM9 for Android 4.0 speed and customization

I really like cm9 my brother has sgm he having 4.0.4 and i also want it for sgy it is so good in speed and i really like if someone is port it to sgy

I have a galaxy y and my mom has galaxy mini, so it doesnt really bother me if we get cm7 or cm9.. cuz i m goin to swap my mom's phone

Well CM7 would be much easier to port. And it's faster than CM9.
