I think it's getting kind of ridiculous that I flash roms 50 times a week. My wife is mad at me, and my co-workers say I just haven't been the same. I feel it's time that I startOCFAT for those of us in deep rom flashing troubles and figure out how to get our lives straightened out.
Any suggestions?
I'm just glad to learn that I am not the only person suffering from flash addiction.
My name is Splashin and I am a flashing addict.
Hello i am betadan....
At first i started flashing just to have the newest OS. But even we got official 2.2 i still found my self flashing at least once per week...
And now with Gingerbread around the corner.... We are all doomed
Flash cm7. I used to be like you, now I haven't changed roms for nearly a month and a half.

and im waiting just a bit longer before i main-line some CM7. or do anyother ginger-powder....
What's the T stand for?
There's a reason I don't want to leave my Captivate. The ease of flashing and all the different options.
CM7 and GB coming too!
It is actually not funny. I flash way too much. I don't even use my phone for much other than flashing and reading about what to flash.
Cm7 looks like it is going to hols me for a bit

Hey man, sometimes you gotta leave well enough alone.. I went flash nuts on my DX, and obviously on my TP2 (WinLame), but with my TB I have really tried to tone it back a bit. These devices are getting more and more expensive and as cool as it is to constantly customize, take advantage of new features, etc... it's still just a phone. At some point it becomes an obsession and not jumping on GB like the masses, I have every right to be glad. It was worth a share anyway, I can't possibly be alone.

Same here. With my Droid 1 I flashed once every few days. Wasted so much time trying the latest and greatest. Now with my thunderbolt I'm trying to enjoy the phone and my life instead of spending 90% of my time flashing. I can't believe the latest GB radios are bricking phones. Just amazing... That said, I did have das bamf 2.0 for a week before going back to 1.6.3. Lol. Too addicting.

The dog barks but the caravan moves on.
I got the GB bootloop. didn't think anything of it, just quickly restored BAMF, and no problems after that.
Then I read jcase's warning and reverted to VirusROM PDQ. I miss netflix, but I believe I'll wait for a more stable option. I can't afford another phone...

You offended ppl with your pompous attitude & laughing at others that had the misfortune of bricking their phones cuz they had bigger balls than you & were willing to try the bleeding edge. You may "have a right to be glad" but you don't have to be an douchebag about it. If/when you do move up to GB, don't be surprised when others ignore your requests for help getting your **** straight with an attitude like that. And to quote you: If YOU feel stupid, you should.

Useless thread is useless.
Alright, I currently own an SGS4G and i love it but i feel as the development is very limited. While i appreciate all of the work that the devs have put in, I have noticed that other phone have a lot mor development and it doesn't seem as though our development community has that [email protected]$$ attitude that the community of other phones does. So, would it be wise to look at getting a G2x or an SGSII (if the US gets it)? I know @birgertime and @Krylon360 both have and develop for the G2x and I love Trigger and Bionix. So is it matbe time to look elsewhere?
First off I'm not gonna be one of those lil trolls saying "oh the devs put their heart out on their developement" type of deal. So imma say go for the SGSII cause its bigger, media powered, and will soon be more known than the iphone. G2x is just gonna be a phone that's know to us phone fanatics. SGSII is gonna be revolutionary...

But is it going to be released in the US? And thank you for not trolling, like i said, i love the devs for all of the work they put in, especially seeing as Krylon and birgertiome didn't have SGS4Gs of their own to model off of
I'm not impressed with my G2x, but it does have decent hardware. In my opinion, the battery is too small, it gets warm too easily, and what has really begun to bother me is it seems like data seems to stop working randomly; it'll look normal and show that it is sending info, but won't receive data for a minute for no reason. It did this on stock, and now on cm7 rc1. Not a deal breaker, but definitely my reasoning for using my sgs4g as my daily driver over it.
The processing power is great, development is good, and it's a good "feeling" phone to hold, but it definitely doesn't seem as easy to dev for as your typical vanilla android phone.

Been a comp geek for a # of years and have recently began learning how to dev for android phones. I own the sgs4g and I absoluteabsolutely love it. I am fascinated by the outsoutstanding work the developers have produced on this phone thus far. I've read every post and have not ever had one problem flashing anything. I for one am extremely grateful for, not only the work put in, but also the vast knowledge that has been posted. These have become a shortcuts or fast tracks for me in learning how to develop and helping me to avoid some pitfalls that these guys have so gratuitously posted huge street sighns for us to read. Thanks guys.

I'd personally wait for the Galaxy S II. The performance is said to be greatly improved, and the reviews for it are beyond belief (meanwhile it isn't even in the US yet.)
The G2X does seem to have quite a few bugs, and the battery life is said to be even worse then the GS4G.
What I'd do is either switch to Verizon and get the Droid Charge, or wait for the Galaxy S II.
Again, I can wholeheartedly say the developers for this phone have done some hard work, and need some well-deserved praise.
Raver, he never meant his post to be rude or to insult developers like yourself in any way.

Geez dude, kinda on the sensitive side there. He said he respected you guys and meant no harm in his comment.
As for the OP's questions, the SGS2 is the obvious winner but who knows when it will come to the US. Sucks that even Canada is getting it first. If I were you, consider the Sensation. I like Samsung's hardware 10x better than HTC's but since you love development then I would chose that phone. CM7 is going to be awesome on there. And since it's HTC you will most likely get a plethora of AOSP ROM's, Sense ROM's and MIUI ROM's for you to constantly play with.
But anyways, I love the SGS4G, wish I owned one. But you're right, development will most likely be scarce for this phone for a while so that's something to think about.
Good luck!
Hercules all the way. I love my SGS4G.
My friend and my uncle and aunt all have the G2X and nothing but issues with it. Overheats and shuts down and have to pull the battery sometimes while charging. Random reboots. I had my friend flash Bionix on it and he was having a couple issues with it. It seemed to drain his battery much quicker than stock and had a couple other issues with it. He didn't want to try any other ROM for it cuz I told him Bionix should be the best one. I might flash my uncles G2X to see what the issues are again. My friend forgot what they were besides the battery drain and he used Green Battery & later Juice Defender and it didn't help. He still gets random reboots once in a while. Or won't power on from sleep/lock and have to pull the battery.
Thanks to all the devs support in our community and other communities as well. I'm a flashing fiend lol.
I couldn't recommend the sensation anymore than the g2x. It has just as many issues; some people are actually selling their sensation to go back to the g2x. Both are fast, both have issues, more development currently for the g2x. The sensation is a better looking phone though
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The Sensation is badass. Even with a locked bootloader and no development it's insanely fast once you replace the Sense UI.... etc. Higher resolution, better feel in your hand...blah blah blah. As far as picking a phone goes... just avoid anything that uses nVidia. If you do that you should be okay. I found it ammusing to hear of screen bleed and jittery displays... after their company's desktop video cards went through the same type of issues. haha. nVidia = FAIL
but again... i'm just a guy in the forums.
This is probably a stupid question but would it be possible to buy a Canadian GSII and then unlock it and use it on T-Mobile in the US

Yeah so far the speculation shows that each carrier will be getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 variant. The T-Mobile one hasn't come up and some ppl think it might be the Hercules but no one really knows (most people think the Hercules is similar to the Infuse because of screen size and processor)
I hope what I said was correct.
I've been running CM7 for over 2 months now and I have stopped coveting any new roms, or any tweaks at all. I came to Android from iPhone when the Dell Streak came out and I was obsessed with what new things I could do with it. I couldn't wait for DJSteve or someone to tweak it some more. I came to Infuse with that same motivation and flashed and flashed and flashed whatever folks came out with just to try it. Then I got CM7 and only waited a short time for some small kinks to be ironed out and I can't think of anything I want my phone to do (although having less shutter lag on the camera would be great). So, with IOS you have the same OS for a year or so and get some improvements, but with XDA and the awesome DEVS you really get all kinds of options.....So here I am, extremely happy with my phone, rarely checking XDA for anything new and I'm wondering..........what "more" do you want? ..........

Part of the fun of Android is that you have the choice. You can take something and be perfectly happy with it like cm7 and run with it, or you can push on to the limits and invent new things as you go. That's the beauty though is that it's up to you, not the company releasing it, not the community, not your mom. It's YOUR choice how far you take it.

I'll be happy when I can get a ROM that will connect to a PS3 controller and be able to output HDMI video. After that, I'll probably stop checking XDA altogether except once every few weeks for an ICS ROM.

Thanks for giving the SK4G new hope. Cant wait to see some progress although I know that's going to take some time
Yea, My hope is to get 3 different kernels running on this phone in two weeks. It may take a little bit longer.
1) cm6 based on the stock froyo kernel src drop.
2) teamacid's current 2.6.35 gb/ics
3) teamacid's port of aries 3.0.8 ics (eventually jb)
After the kernel is up and booting a basic set of features on the rom, I'll be sending it back to TLS and pushing out some test images.
There will be new recoveries and... I'm sure... a fist full of problems to work through. But it's a start.
Thanks again to nxd!

Well, I'm going to leave the testing to bhundven, he's playing with serious stuff here akin to fire. If you play with it and mess up, you will get burned unless you have unbrickable mod down.

Not to say he's going to put out something unstable, but keep in mind he's pretty much developing from the ground up and problems can arise.

Worst case scenario, I act like a total newb and flash the kernel to a bootloader partition. FAIL!
But, I'm sure I'll be a bit more professional then that.
With the kernel, the worst case scenario is having issues going from BML -> MTD or MTD back to BML. (Read this for explanation of BML and MTD)
But that shouldn't affect the SBL (Secondary BootLoader), so I should still be able to use a usb jig to get to download mode and go back to BML at any time.
The last worst case scenario is being totally silly stupid and fat finger a voltage setting and hard bricking the phone by over volting or over heating.
At that point, I'd just buy you a new phone.
Lol no offense I'm not sure I'd need one. The only reason I still have the Sidekick is for a backup in case my Galaxy S 2 decides to commit suicide.

yeah im excited but my sk4g might remain in my arsenal if we get some non tw going
TLS i have the same case as u
bhundven if things go south with TLS's sk4g, i can send mine.
OMG potrait mode video, we are doomed,
Happy that this has happened and hope to test soon the new development.
This thread has served it's purpose. Bhundven has the SK4G now.
/thread and farewell thread!
It's nice for you to send him the Sidekick 4G.
But, PM me, MA is Obvious MA.

G2x-CM7 Nightly 11/25/12 Build, Trinity ELP Kernel
I saw that too.
I encourage everyone of us here to go and make more noise in order to get at least ICS for the G2x too.
Ladies and Gentlemen, like "Star Wars Episode IV", this might be our New (and Last) Hope.
Thanks,
LG Optimus 2X got ICS in Europe

Not everyone immediately understands the implications of this. No need to ridicule. Can someone explain practically if this means anything new for P999? I thought that once this happens it would be easy to get it working for us.
This is really good news for us. So far no one has been able to create a working build using the SU660's kernel source. The P990 Kernel source will likely play a lot more friendly with our device (P990 & P999 are a lot more similar than Su660 & P999); hopefully we can get something working. I'm very optimistic that we will get fully working CM10. Here comes the excitement!

I feel you on that...lately, all I ever seem to do here is get in a thread, smh and hit the back button...sigh
This is awesome news! I just upgraded from an Optimus V to a G2X two days ago and then this happened. Hackfest is working pretty well for me already so it can only get better from now on.

But it's the real deal this time! The 2x actually had the official release without the su660/korean version.
But then again I feel you, when entering the g2x threads im constantly already feeling that nothing has changed.
Only time will tell.

Story of our lives, isn't it? :highfive:
As far as from what I can remember there couldn't be a port of lg ui 2.0 from p990 because it was requested quite a few times back when there were developers on the g2x and it either was extremely hard or couldn't be done, and the ICS update released today is lg ui 3.0 so I think its gonna be a lot harder than it sounds guys but I hope its possible because my dad still has a g2x and I would want for him to enjoy what android has to offer these days

Nobody is going to port the lg ui, only use the drivers from the p990 source to make a working cm10

I hope so. RC is ignoring the P999/G2X at this point and won't tell anything about if he will do anything for it. He has taken the P990 off his list and hasn't indicated he will resume CM10 for it.

He's really talented and good at what he does, but the communication is non existent. I wish he'd take a couple minutes to say if he has any plans for us.

It's just simply not constructive for arcee taking time out of each day to address tardates on each new thread criticizing, suggesting, making false speculations about his work on the 2x project. It's like he's driving around to the candy store and we're a bunch of little kids in the back of the car screaming ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?
It makes a sane man want to drown a baby. A good parent would simply turn around and go back to the gingerbread house and make us goto bed early. Since he's likely to receive praises that would make Jesus's wine crafting look like the art of nubcake, he surely wouldn't hinder the progress but he has GOT to be sick of the moaning, groaning, and complaining that exists in EVERY SINGLE THREAD here.
Face palm is right. I have to wear a muzzle while staying updated on this forum, I've broken my nose twice and it whistles when I breathe. Thanks guys.

I think you're overreacting to a little thing. Yes, everyone should patiently wait but you're making this a bigger deal then it needs to be. Sounds like you're saying this just for karma and for a little appraisal like, "OH MAN WHAT A GOOD ROLE MODEL KIDDECKS IS EVERYONE SHOULD BE LIKE HIM" All they really said was that he doesn't communicate as well as some other people do. There are people that constantly post their updates and some that don't. It's just something someone said. Plus, if you read those 2 posts closely nobody made it a big deal. Someone said "I wish" and the other person said "no big deal" Nobody made it a big deal... You overreacted...
Anyways, I'm going to be following this thread closely to see if there's any USEFUL information. So stop posting useless stuff like this. It just takes up space and nobody wants to see it.
There's a dev who posted what he has so far of the CM10 kernel and so far it's great. Not sure if he did anything with the P990 update though. Still, everyone's being patient and it's great. Nobody is rushing anything. I think P999 users are used to waiting. It's been, what, 410 something days since ICS was released? A few more months really wouldn't even matter at this point.
RC did communicate about the timeline. It was very clear and completely appropriate. I wouldn't have lasted half as long as he did before I blocked out all the whining and screaming "supporters" and left the park to go back to my own sandbox and play with my real friends.
He was getting hundreds of useless messages and comments on anything he touched so he said f this. Now it's all third hand.
RC has kept awesome communication throughout all his work and if you have any beef with this then your an deltitne tihs.
