It was sarcasm about it being the best phone ever. Obviously every time you buy anything its obsolete with in a matter of days. With that said, what is the point of complaining about it?
As for development, I am and have been working on a rom for this device. Along with a couple other people. The reason its on the hush is because I would rather wait to announced anything about it until its complete. I am not here to argue with anyone. I am here to make this a better phone for me and everyone here. But when I come here to the general section to help others having REAL issues. All I see is back and forth talk about a new device and how much they hate the sgs 4g. If you are unhappy sell it. If you want to rant about it. Start a blog. It just gets old, and I know I am not the only one that feels this way.
Anyways. That's all I have to say.

All these phones have their good points and bad points it's not some sort of contest. I for one like the sgs4g for a whole variety of reasons. If you don't like it I don't give a sh*t.
I'm here to make this phone better, contribute to others who like the sgs4g, and to learn what I can about development for it. Come on people--these are phones not sports teams. If you like a different one go find the forum for it and gtfo of this one.

Look fella, this post was never directed at anyone in particular. So no need to make it personal.
I am really here to help people and this is a forum for development, not hey this phone blows, this phone is better. If you don't understand that you don't really understand XDA.
This wasn't to raise my post count, most all of my posts are to either help someone that is having an issue, testing for other dev's, or for dev work that i am currently working on.

They didn't promise anything about the sensation. This phone was a month from release when that was announced. U had to know they meant phones after the sensation and Evo 3d
He saying people getting tired of waiting they could just let people know if it's getting unlocked or not so people can abandon this phone for a rootable devices. As of now it don't seem like apps are utilizing the duel core power anyways thinking about pulling out my nexus s and enjoy being untamed.

The fact that even new shipments are S-ON just shows that they will not unlock it in the near future.

I really wish people would stop crying over the fact that this phone will have never have it's bootloader unlocked. It's depressing.
Jesus Christ u guys are f***** babies.
This is like the 8th thread about the same thing. There is one Rom avail. If s off was availble u will be complaining about the one rom that is present and u want more. U have root and u have the overclocking ability now. U know what u were getting into during the purchase. The ones that are complaining should have just held out till s off has been implemented.
U want it so bad develop it.
Humans are working on s off not robots. The phone isn't even a month old so pull down your skirts and stop complaining. They already said the developers are bricking their phones trying to get s off correctly. So do u still want them to rush it? Than that will be something else you guys can ***** and moan about. Than 100's of threads will pop up:

No, we don't have the overclocking ability with the Sensation, only with the Evo 3D, get informed before taking such a superior-I-m-more-adult-than-you tone.
We can only downclock so far, it won't go over the stock 1188Mhz.
As it was said here before, whether HTC unlock the Sensation and the Evo or not, they could at least answer YES or NO. It has been one month with not a single official piece of information from HTC about this.
The work of devs on these devices is amazing, no need for them to rush in, they already did better than HTC did, when for HTC unlocking our devices would just be so easy.....

No offense meant, I also understand your point of view. I just wish HTC could be clear and communicate........

HTC has committed to unlocked their bootloaders. The S4G will be included with those.
This thread is redundant, please read my sticky on bootloader matters.
That being said this thread is now closed. Please stop posting bootloader speculation threads.
Sorry guys, but I am leaving. My development thread got closed and a bunch of people were trolling. I will just stick with the Kindle Fire and other phones. You barely knew me and most of you hate me, so I will just stay someplace else. Thanks for at least trying my rom for those who did. As of now I am officially dropping ReloadedROM™ support for the sensation. I am insulted that many of you came to the conclusion that I kanged a rom. If you want to post here, it will be ignored as I am no longer part of this forum. Thank you.
EDIT: I decided I will actually remake my rom for it, this time I will get the correct permissions (Vorbeth's build.prop and kernel) and cite my sources correctly. I originally posted in a hurry and was just lazy about everything, I apologize. I have no ETA when this will be re-released, but expect that it will happen. If Vorbeth denies permissions of me to use this rom's build.prop or kernel, I will make them myself and then the rom will be worse, so... cross your fingers! Vorbeth: I want to use your build.prop and kernel because they are the most stable, and I don't want to mess with that. That was not me asking for permission, that was just a general statement.
EDIT2 (9:05AM): Just asked Vorbeth for permission to use build.prop and kernel for the good of the community, hope he says yes.
Too bad what a great developer 1st

Hey, just had to check in one more time. I might again support this device in the future. Let's let this pass and see from there

Not entirely sure why you're insulted, your ROM is a CM kang. Many people kang CM and don't get in a stress about it (myself included).

No, that was an unrelated post. I am actually re-supporting this device (I change my mind fast). Discourage me if you will, but I want to make this for the community, and I will get there no matter what it takes.
Yeah this forum is lame that way. Many developers have been scared off because of it. It appears no one can ask for source or credit in a courteous manner. Most of the time the people asking for source or credit are completely unrelated, it's amazing. Miss the mt4g and hd2 forum.
Glad you're sticking around. Thank you.

Shame really. It's sad to see that your thread was closed for a really stupid reason.
Thread closed or not - I'm continuing to use the ROM.... WHY? Because it's freaking awesome - that's why!
No offense, I don't hate or have anything against you. Just trying to point out reason
First of all, I know that everyone is not like me... but I for one check for the "dev's" credibility. I look at your profile and bam "Sensation bricked" and how is it bricked? It isn't, you had trouble solving an issue that I would consider quite simple.
Second of all, I was a bit excited to see a new CM rom (yours) and lost all interest when I noticed it was nothing new / different. Pretty much the same as Vorbeth's work. Worst of all, IIRC 0 credits were given out and the "I originally posted in a hurry and was just lazy about everything" is just asking for it. Now that you've asked Vorbeth for the permissions, I'm sure (and hope he does) he'll agree to that. Afterall, we're an open community and it's not 100% his work either!

He isn't a dev, which is the problem and some members such as myself find that bs. I can create a rom - keep in mind that I know NOTHING except to compile and zip it up - from other peoples work. I would personally be annoyed if someone just took my stuff and put it together, claiming that it's "their work." I hope you see why these "trolls" aren't happy with what you put up. I for one, held back lol cause it never really gets anywhere. You'll notice the plentiful of roms that just zip/compiled here already and the very few "devs". If anything, members like myself want less junk and more awsm stuff!
Don't take everything into heart, I don't mean to offend you. I'm honestly just trying to be reasonable and pointing out some things you and others might not notice here! (Especially since you're new to the sensation forums)

Ok, Some people new to the XDA forums hate being called n00bs. But if your post count is less then 100 posts... You're a n00b.
It's ok. We love you
But riddle me this... Why do you want to root your phone or install a custom rom? Most roms posted to the developer section are unstable and not ready enough for normal phone users to use. Most roms in there are for advanced users. And I really don't think everyone in the sgs4g forum are advanced. (I know who you are if you're advanced, or I might not if you don't post at all...). You could brick your phone, you could make your phone un-returnable. You WILL void your warranty.
A lot of n00bs have problems installing roms or rooting their phones, but why do it in the first place?
Are you doing it to install a root required application?
Are you doing it to update your rom to a newer version?
Not getting the support you expected from t-mo/samsung? Do you really think we are going to continue to support you for the next 5+ years? (cause I know I wont )
Vote and post here. I really want to understand not just what you want, but why!?
For fun muahahah...(I can still be counted as a n00b, rite? )
Heh, jk, me, just because I love all WIP of team acid, kickass/fah-q and unknown hehe...and I am trying to brick my phone to see just how strong it is lol muahahaha...(and only have root and CMW or TWRP that I can brick it hehe)

There are two ways to brick the phone...
create a blank file that is any size smaller then 256k... heimdall it to the sbl partition. BAM! YOU ARE HARD BRICKED
raise your phone way up over your head, and throw your phone on the ground as hard as you can (TOUCH DOWN!!!)
Otherwise, you can still get into download mode, and you are just soft-bricked. This phone is amazing that way
Soo if this is my first post what that mqkes me ?!!

I rooted my phone so i can use an app (yes one app is enough reason for me )

I personally screwed up my very first T-Mobile G1. The first time I flashed a from I was able to get the HTC Hero Rom... Somewhere along the line I became unsatisfied (the same night) and tried to force sd-ext, which was said to be possible using adb... Lack of sleep turned my phone into a paper weight. Anyway, one of my biggest fascinations was being able to get around carrier and manufacturer rules: expanding limited storage, removing apps considered system by force... But once you pop, you just can't stop... Now I'm happy to have a nearly complete OS people from T-Mobile say the phone can't handle. For now having the smoothest and most responsive phone I could have on the latest OS does it for me. I don't want jelly bean. I'm happy to have what I got.
I also built my first computer when I was 13 and I haven't yet stopped being fascinated by technology.
Oh and as for warranty voided, a bricked phone is the same as one dropped in the pool, ran over by your truck and eaten by your dog... Easily replaced if you say it is stolen. I think my deductible is like $140, not terribly bad for the clear cut instructions.

Well whether or not you want to call me a n00b is up to you. But as for the question...
I needed root to run FB's unlocker, so I could unlock the phone from T-Mo and move it to my current provider. Requires root, and custom ROMs are always nice to have, as well as the improved performance, battery life, overall change in aesthetics, and the ability to use ICS on the SGS4G, with all the yummy features that it includes, unlocking the full potential of the device, and overall as a hobby.
So what should I check as my answer for the poll if I'm a noob?
Im a noob
This is my first post on this forum but ive been rooting phones an installing custom roms since i was 10

I am writing this out do to the amount of people who seem to start doing things on their phones without understanding what it is they're really doing.
Now you might say "I know I know exad, I root many phoen, I want 2 show peopel how smrt I am! I custumize everything and maek it lewk cool!" But there's really quite a bit of risk associate with the rooting process and even afterwards! Here, I will explain some of the common terms and risks associated with rooting, it will be like an index of knowledge I've accumulated being here on XDA.
So first off, what is root? Why is it dangerous?
I will tell you very directly, if you do not know exactly what root is, and/or how to manage access, you are not at all ready to root.
Root is a term to mean Administrative Access. Meaning you have full control over the software of your phone and it's system files. When you are given root access, you can alter any system files. This can obviously be damaging. Perhaps you trust yourself not to do anything crazy or destructive, which I think is the case for most people but often, root access is given to third party apps! So what can an app with root access do with your phone technically?.. Well, ANYTHING IT'S DEVELOPER wants. Overclock your CPU, create a backdoor to your phone, pull/steal personal information. The sky's the limit.

No. Thank you sir. I haven't thought about the basics in a long time. Been to busy just flashing away lol.

There, that should help that! If it helps at least 1 person, it'll have been worth it.

I was thinking of doing a write up, but with work and army, I have no time. As you can see I am constantly on the app. However, this is awesome. I wish I had this when I started a few months ago. I just learned on my own. Also the android slang guide helped too.

I wrote up something like this a while ago but decided not to post it because noobs never read these things. I may just throw it up in General.
Great work I will add it to my FAQ
Thanks for all your help, unfortunately I am one of those noobs who had been studying the root process for just about a week and thought I had a firm grasp on the concept. Fortunately for me I haven't done anything yet to brick my phone this is definitely a humbling experience haha -heads back to the forums to learn some more- :good:
Hmm not sure why this doesn't have more recognition... It took me months to figure this crap out. With a little experience, this guide could turn a total noob into a competant android rooter in a week or so. I remember my first posts on XDA *shudders*. So.... consider this a BUMPITY-BUMP
EDIT: That said, I know the first place many people go is general (that's what I did) so maybe this would get more views by the people who actually need it in general.
I would have loved this when I was rooting
Thanks for this. I've already rooted my phone and had to find much of this information on my own. It's nice to see it all in one place.

It's been a while since I've rooted a phone so I came here from another guide to refresh my memory a bit.
This thread is a joke, right? One of the more useless threads I've seen.

no I rage quit a few months back and deleted it all. I can rewrite it but people don't read anymore anyway (judging by Q&A)

I came here through the link in FAQ! Too bad you deleted it
I can understand not updating because few people read this post but why actually delete it?
