MyTouch 4g vs A rock - myTouch 4G General

Ok so I saw this rock outside my house and it looked pretty sweet. I'm starting to doubt my MT4G purchase, so I decided to make a list of pros and cons for both.
MT4G
Pros:
- Operates as a phone
- Better benchmarks
- HSPA+
- Awesome amount of memory
- Wifi Calling
Cons:
- Breaks when I throw it at things
- Does not seem to beat paper nor scissors
- Doesn't skip easily on ponds.
Rock
Pros:
- Amazing battery life
- Can be used to make primitive tools
- Fits well in my palm
- Great for stoning witches
- Great paperweight (thanks laztpn0i)
Cons:
- Calls drop like a...well...a rock
- Beaten by paper
- People seem to be less jealous of it when I show it off
So what do you guys think? I can still take back my MT4G, but I just can't seem to decide between this and the rock...input appreciated.

lmao whattt?

What's the Quadrant score on the rock?

You also need to add that it makes for a great paperweight. lol

I'd get the rock if phantom skins have cases for it xD

how well does the rock play with angry birds? is it more realistic?

rock never bricks no matter how many times you flash it, lol

I'm almost positive I could get it to skip, 3 or 4 hops at least. Hilarious post!

Has the rock been permrooted yet? And can it be overROCKed?

LMAO at "overROCKed?".

Hilarious!!!

I understand the guys at Cyanogenmod are having trouble with it. They didn't want to say, but I think we all realize that rock is going to be hard to crack. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

It's called being "rock-blocked."

if being beaten by paper is a con then isn't beating scissors a pro??? and also does the rock support hspa+?

[ROM-DEV-for-da-heck-of-it] Froyo SDK system image on Toast kernel

First, this is a "can it be done" thing, so don't expect things to work. The only thing that works is:
3G data - like, you can use the browser app and surf the web
Nothing else works! No audio, so no phone calls or playing audio files, no camera, etc.
This is a play ROM!!! Don't expect fixes for a while, or until official source is released on android.git.kernel.org.
Also, its a little laggy/slow due to using software only OpenGL.
Again, play ROM only!
http://depositfiles.com/files/b1oox6pyt
EDIT: 2010-05-21 05:43 UTC
darch has an updated ROM that runs faster, so play with that one:
http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/darchroms/froyo-22.zip
Doubtful we'll get the mic working in this build, since the built config used forces a audio hardware "stub", and replacing the relevant libs did not do the trick. It was a good try, and the new launcher is neat, and the browser works well, but thats about it until Froyo source is released.
Oh Shats!!! The race has started!!!
lol didnt take long
***Foot in mouth***

If it's even possible, they will. They should have a good 6-12 months before Sprint/HTC give us an update...if they ever do.
Shrug..I'll be picking up an EVO on the 4th, so I guess I'll just wait for it to be ported to that. Still, having 2.2 running on my Hero would surely make it easier to sell.
I had this screwed up dream last night that I was the first person to get an EVO ever... my wife left me for spending 200 bucks on it.
Then I went to some chicks house far away and showed her my new phone...
Cool Story I know.

[Q] Possible FroYo w/Sense?

I know that the Wildfire has a different resolution than our phones, but, seeing as they are discussing porting it from the Legend, and that phone is similar to ours, can it be done?

Possible but ALOT of porting. A whole different framework.

Ahh, I wasnt sure. I just knew it was advertised a while back as "The Hero 2" or whatever and thought it was similar.
ok here is where we are at with a wildfire port. long way if I and beezy420 decide to keep moving forward with this. Special thanks to darchs kernel from cyan mod.
I will update later about all the none funtioning and will probably post the rom for other to just play with.

Well brother keep on going I will try to catch up with you after work and see where your at with it maybe compare notes, I was just playing with it last night to see where we would stand with something like this. Still think the legend will be the one to port though. as the graphic work required for this alone would be a monster job.
Glad to see someone else interested in bring froyo to the hero.

Classic lol!!!!!!
Shouldn't adjusting the pixel density make the items show up correctly on screen?
It would effectively cut the resolution on our Heroes, though.
And of course, the Legend would be the easiest port, but the since it's not out yet, we have the option of making do with the Wildfire or standing pat. (Not that I'd accuse any devs of that, seeing as this port looks hard as hell).

Dungeon Defenders FIRST WAVE - Now with Cross Platform Play

So who's got it? What a great game. I've just upped to level 3 and it's addicting for sure. The only thing is the game menus are upside down lol. Frame rate wise, running very smooth on my Vibrant with Nero 3 Going by the same name in game.
runs chopy as hell on my evo but still playable...hopefully they can optimize it some more and also that gingerbread helps some...
well i'm still downloading the huge amount of files needed lol. will edit the post ;p
edit: it's running awesome! smooth as silk. now i need to get some sleep...
Yeah, technology especially in the gaming realm moves fast. We all know the only reason we upgrade our computer is to catch up with games lol.
It's running decently on my Evo...And I doubt this is a hardware thing. I think they'll push an update soon
I'd like to get this one but not sure how well it will perform on my N1. Hopefully, we'll get more reviews soon...

Really? Smooth as silk? Doesn't run like that on my GT-i9000 with Darkys ROM..
Runs great on my Vibrant(Nero v3, voodoo). I downloaded a cracked copy to try it out(I know I know...but I'm not paying for a poorly made game) but like it so much I just bought it from the market and am re-downloading as we speak.
Is the sideway/upside down in-game menu on all copies, or just the cracked version? If it's going to be this way on the purchased version, I'll just get a refund and wait until it's fixed.

hmm.. you're certainly an exception then cause it should run smoothly. Our phones can do QUake 3 at 60FPS for crying out like non-oc'ed. You should be getting a buttery smooth 35-40 fps in D&D like the rest of us with sgs. Try reinstalling the rom.
Runs Pretty choppy on my phone. Turned the graphics down to get better framerate.
Don't like the fact that the menus are in portrait when the game is in landscape. But enjoying it generally.

yeah bro you got a problem then cause it shouldn't run choppy at all even with everything turned up. u sure it's the sgs? i'm starting to think the i9000 devs can't program worth crap. i'm so glad for Team Whiskey lol. If i were you, i'd just go back to stock froyo.
Seeing as we have no benchmark and lag is subjective, how about we use the starting room fully zoomed out looking at the crystal as a test.
On my sgs it has a little slowdown, I would say 20-24fps
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I really can't imagine that the ROM is the cause for the not so great performance. Besides, I have no clue how to get back to Stock Froyo even if I wanted to lol. Im with Android53 on this though that on my GT-i9000 im getting 20 FPS looking at the Crystal.. maybe slightly less.
Think I played online with you a second ago boodies. I'm jimbravo1(I think). Need to get some practice and leveling under my belt, but online looks to be great fun!
I don't know how many fps my vibrant gets full zoomed out, but it's very smooth, little to no choppiness ever.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
How do you zoom in? Zoomed out fully its a bit choppy.
Nevermind figured it out. Downscaling the video quality makes quite a difference in frame rate.

Thank You Bamf team

ive lurked this site for some time now and its time do say something. THANK YOU to everyone on the BAMF team. I downloaded Bamf 1.6.3 as the first and only rom and it is absolutely perfect. HTC should have built this phone and had you guys develop it to begin with. All these roms and kernals are here for us all for FREE and who knows how much countless hours these people put into it for our pleasure.
We always thank you, the users, for all of the support!
It makes what we do worth doing.

I have to second this. I have flashed a few other ROM's but they only stay a little bit and I flash back to a BAMF ROM. I love the REMIX's but wish I could take some aspects of each and put them together.
Keep up the good work BAMF!
I too have flashed many roms but come back to the @ss barf roms, lol. Stripped v1.1 is the fastest, and best on battery that I have found.
You guys rock. Thanks for all of hard work guys.
Same here, tried them all and always run BAMF as daily. Love kernels especially, and TDB's skills.
Plz make the new toolkit for froyo too :-

I was wondering the same thing, but I decided to get the skyrocket and I love it! It was cheap and it allows me to play with all the new ICS roms that are out there. If I brick it, I wouldn't be out too much money. I am currently running SkyICS as my daily and it is fantastic.
OFF TOPIC: I love my APR Stage IV 01 Jetta, it's hard to compare to the R20. It's more modern, but not that raw power that you had in the GTi.

Ya i know i should have kept it, but it had over 100k on the clock and i was just getting married and moving into my first place at the time.
