When the Tbolt first launched, there was so much anticipation and excitement, as the threads were alive daily with so many different types of ROMS.
Now they all seem to be moving away from Xda.. is it the community or is it the phone.. I can definitely say the golden era for the TBOLT are over, its probably good compare to other phones, but it seems like its on a downhill descend.
how can we make it better??
blah blah blah another worthless thread

There was a somewhat similar spirited thread started yesterday. It's locked now, and this one may well share a similar fate shortly. That' said, I'm not aware of any devs that have left XDA in a while. There's plenty of devices that have far less development than the Tbolt. The ROM count in the dev section is hardly a useful measure of development and progress. Allow me to point out a couple things you haven't considered.
The last OTA will likely be the last Froyo OTA. Normally, an OTA would spur on a new wave of ROM updates, but this isn't the case because of 2 factors. The OTA was only marginally better than the MR2 leak that some already built ROMs on, and Froyo is pretty much old news since the leak back in July of GB proved to be approaching OTA release quality. That's been the base of Gingeritis for a while now, and is becoming the base for uberBAMF and several others. BAMF is an issue all it's own, where their Sense, deSensed, and ReMixed ROMs made for a veritable plethora. It appears they'be given up on Froyo development and focused in GB, and in a manner that will avoid 3 or more flavors of the same base. Because of all of this, yes, you're definitely seeing a certain reduction of active ROM threads, not just here, but across any development site.
It makes little sense to assume devs are leaving to go to other platforms because, at the moment, the Tbolt is still the cream of the crop, especially on Verizon. And before someone points out the EVO 3D, I'd like to point out Sprint's lack of LTE which makes all that power rather pointless.... It's just another over-juiced phone on a substandard network; a situation that's been the case on every carrier until LTE arrived.

To explain the negative feedback you've gotten thus far, porting to the Thunderbolt is far more complicated than to the Droid 1. The part of the OS that interacts with the radio is (as of yet) unique to the Thunderbolt and essentially has to be reverse-engineered. Slayher and toastcfh are working on a port of CM7 but it is an extremely difficult project for this reason. It's a whole different ballgame on this phone. Nothing to do with the amount of love for it. If there were no love for it, Slayher would not be working so hard to develop a port of CM7.
Who are you referring to? Verizon or the modding community? Verizon continues to hype their 4G network and the Thunderbolt with it. I'm sure HTC has Android 2.3.4 so we'll see what they do with it. The modding community has been pretty good about building off the most recent AOSP builds, but with the Thunderbolt having the 4G radio it has taken a little longer. Give it time. The OG Droid has been around much longer and more people own it than the Thunderbolt. As people upgrade you'll see more and more development for this phone. Personally I'm very happy with how quickly the Thunderbolt was rooted and how quickly devs started tweaking things.

To many mad nerds on here, i was only asking if were gonna see some software upgrades, **** i was running 2.3 on my OG. But yah i can understand how its hard.
Official updates? Probably not till later this summer and who knows if it will be 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. We'll likely see if in CM 7 long before an official OTA

Considering the fact that this phone has barely been out for a month and a half i think the dev is going pretty good. I think that's why people are giving you crap for this post.
There's a few threads on getting 2.3 working on the thunderbolt so its a wip at this point. Htc is supposed to release 2.3 "soon" anyways.

Hey, don't knock the OG Droid. That was a great little phone. It was my first Android phone.
The only reason I made my comment is because all the OP needed to do was click on TB development to see all the ROMs and support for this device. For only being out a month, there's a crazy amount of support.
OG Droid still rocks, I have one in front of me.
But dude obviously doesn't remember the wait for 2.1 on the OG.
put a nice silicone cover on it (sexual references meant) then show it love!
Only then can it be shown proper love .... lol
Sorry had this coming <<<<<
Anyway The Devs Are Doing The Thunderbolt Much Justice and are working and slaving for this device so there showing the love
I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!
its called patience.
to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.
You also have to remember that out dev section is split between the o2x and g2x. These two forums should be combined.

+1 would be a disaster.
I agree development is slower than I'd expected..
I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.
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 for one am extremely grateful for, not only the work put in, but also the vast knowledge that has been posted.

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.

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.
Hey all just wanted to see if I was the only one noticing this, but there hasn't been a new ROM in a very long time...I keep on seeing the same ones pop up. Is it because of the SOPA scare? I know it wouldn't have an effect on devs BC of open source though... Hmmmmm kind of inspires me to build roms!

Jessooca I was meaning to make a thread just to shed some light on this dark subject. As it is the truth most real dev's have left and abandoned us. Which is part of the XDA's natural selection thus comes rise to power of SuperPhone era as our ever weak SmartPhone is no match for those superior monsters. You have to see our phone came out in 2010Q4 and lifespan of it officially is 6-12months. This phone was never HD2-US (Leo1024) where community kept it life well beyond it should have and became the XDA's most defiant device.

We the Collectors have foreseen and predicated its coming as it will fulfill prophecy for all ancient legacy devices.

Other phones that been out longer then, I'll use the sensation an example, have better specs then us an is more widely known to mass's. That's why they have so much support. This phone is trying to be something it's not,a high class device to appeal to this mass. Ya our specs look like the DHD. Honestly if I saw this or the DHD next to each other when I bought this phone, well I wouldn't be typing this right now.
All I'm trying to say is, this phone is the messed up little kid that's trying to make up for all the bad things it's done.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Edit:I think that's my longest post to date, lol.
DhD-EU came out before MT4G. As we know EU folks always get superior hardware before us in USA. So when Glacier came out it was the most powerful HTC GSM device in US market. After which CDMA Vz-TB came out as it was devised version of DhD-EU for US market.
Like you Mr High I also picked MT4G. I was aware of MT4G in end of July 2010 as didn't waste time trying to buy Desire Z/G2 as DhD while perfect replacement for HD2-US was not viable candidate for me in the USA due to network capabilities incompatible with TMobile's HSPA+. So I got MT4G few months before it was dropped to TMoUS or I had another choice to pick SamSUX Nexus S (which is another thread of its own don't even get me started).
For those of us who is welling to stay with MT4G they should know that it is actually powerful enough hell we got 2gs 1ghz proc with 768mb ram. If we don't see official CM9 we might see some KANG's. But not to worry we can still use official CM7.2SR as AOSP2.3.7GB itself is not that bad. So if anyone is welling to take the stand with GB with me then I will release the 42.3MB GB2.3.X enhancement package. Which is a super power boost for all AOSP based rom using AOSP2.3.5GB-AOSP2.3.7GB.

Quite honestly it happens to all the mytouch line. Take a look at the mytouch 3g and slide forum....you can hear the dust falling. It looked like it was gonna die here back at the beginning of the summer then eViL d dropped fusion and it seemed to pop back to life. It happens. I'm actually liking flashing older stuff. I'm sure it will get boring but I forgot how complete and fast some of the older roms can be. I'm running doubleshot now and its running smoother and more fluent than 3.5 roms on here and I didn't have to flash 4 different things to get it working properly. You tend to forget that these devs on here made stuff that actually works for our phone and not some multi device rom that never gets supported. I'm not speaking of Virtuous....lol!

I think the reason phones like the Galaxy S, or the Sensation, or even the DHD get so much support cause they're international devices, so devs all over the world can dev for those phones, unlike us here, who only have the US devs. Lol no one else even knows the existence of the HTC Glacier

I agree that things definitely have slowed down around here. Newer and better devices are coming out all the time though. But we do have some pretty sweet roms to pick from already though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
sure development has slowed down a bit, but we also have had some GREAT devs coming through here and working their magic. I mean just look at all the ROMS that are available to us...Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS, Sense, AOSP, MIUI...and with plenty of ROMS to fill each category(well except for ICS currently) I mean if you stop for a second, and really browse through the development section youll see awesome work. IMO, Id prefer a high quality rom that works in every way rather than always flashing the newest and greatest thing while dealing with all the bugs and what not. just my 2 cents on the whole thing...
Hello Nick and you know who this is we the illuminated ones have chosen you as one of few selected folks here who will be granted the GB2.3.X Enhancement Package (v1.0) so PM me for details. For other folks we need no beta testers as it has been developed for over 5+ months ago for private use but now going public due to ICS being imminent.

Jessooca I was meaning to make a thread just to shed some light on this dark subject. As it is the truth most real dev's have left and abandoned us. Which is part of the XDA's natural selection thus comes rise to power of SuperPhone era as our ever weak SmartPhone is no match for those superior monsters. You have to see our phone came out in 2010Q4 and lifespan of it officially is 6-12months. This phone was never HD2-US (Leo1024) where community kept it life well beyond it should have and became the XDA's most defiant device.
When all the stars burns out in the universe and the darkness descend upon us. From far away in the galaxy out of no where a burst of light so strong that it could be seen from everywhere reaches us. As due to high radiation it will omit blue energy and it will be frozen like cryogenic. We the Collectors have foreseen and predicated its coming as it will fulfill prophecy for all ancient legacy devices. It is now known as CyanogenMod which will leave its strong footprint with CM7.2SR when all roms are stopped from being compiled.

It seems like most of the work on roms is going into ICS and it's big changes. That combined with so many new awesome devices. Hell, I'm considering switching to a newer phone and I usually make mine last until they're obsolete.

There are no new ROMs in the wild besides crappy betas. No stable Sense + ICS, no similar devices with proper ICS. What development are you looking for? How many different versions of Sense 3, Sense 3.5, MIUI and half-baked ICS do you really need?
What is left - TouchWiz? Cross-device porting is a huge task, that requires tons of skills, and I wouldn't expect it to happen.
The bounty has been reached! Thanks XDA! I'll update the OP when Nitro had a phone.
UPDATE: phone had been purchased and week be doing it Monday, confirmed by hesh.monster
FINAL UPDATE: NITRO JUST GOT HIS S3.... HERE WE GO!
If you haven't heard of Eclipse ROM you've probably been living under a rock. If you have heard of them, then you know of the unmatched stability and speed. Not to mention sheer beauty!
nitroglycerine33 is already working on a ROM for the s3, but doesn't own the device. This limits the testing and work he can do, so we need to get him one! I figure 450 is about the average price for one. So let's set that as a goal, nitro says he's already got 20 towards that goal. His donation link is at the bottom of this post. Please post your donation so I can keep track of the total. All donations are going straight to him and if we get more then what we spend on the device it will stay with him as a donation for his hard work.
Also I just sent 40 so now we're at 60 total only 390 to go! Let's get some Eclipse!

I dunno man, a bunch of people bought him a Bionic and he never did **** with it. Kept saying he was gonna make an ICS Eclipse ROM but always had a story about how he was waiting for OTA. He could/should have built it on the leaks but he didn't. He was more focused on other devices. Just food for thought.

Yes his ROMs are usually similar to AOSP. Even his stock based use a lot of AOSP apps (dialer, gallery, camera, etc). They are oh so sexy, and incredibly stable and his support if the ROM it's unrealistic. If there's a problem he fixes it!

I don't know what happened on the bionic, but I do know that his ROM was great for both the RAZR and charge. He also doesn't release a ROM that isn't stable. He also already has a build for the s3 just needs some bug fixing. Which is hard to do without the phone.

Wow dude.. so two full builds from the last two gingerbread updates is nothing? Supporting builds for months and building blind for months is nothing? Just because I thought ICS was coming soon I never put out an official build. How do you think i built version 3.0?

I have never ran or heard of your roms (not trying to bash) but I donate to devs that get the device themselves and then show us their skills... I have a hard time donating to someone that should be able to get the phone somehow...? I am living on a set income but found a way to get this device because I love new tech but the comment above makes me think that you think your entitled to a G3 cause your a good dev that needs one (which I don't doubt).. Just sayin... Your work is hugely appreciated but you can find ways of getting the device yourself and then if your that good at what you do then your S3 will be paid for VERY quickly! Once again... Not trying to flame in ANY way shape or form... I would donate in a heartbeat if your roms are as good as people say but you just gotta get that S3 like a bunch of other devs have done on their own.

Unfortunately, most people don't bother to donate to a dev so on top of the time they invest in making the ROM they are also buying these devices. Nitro is a great dev and this bounty was set up because I and others want his work to come to the s3 NOT because nitro just wants a new phone. He already has many other devices he works on and bought himself. So I appreciate your view and agree IF it actually worked that way were people took care of there Devs but it doesn't.

Like I said I would NEVER bash a dev cause they MAKE this community what it is!! I donate to at least 2 devs a month and $10 at the very least... It's to bad others don't do the same... Granted it is a hobby for most devs that they LOVE doing but they also get treated like crap and people think that the dev owes them a fix right now!!! LOL That's not the case... I hope nitro does get a G3!! :good:

The guys got two kids, a wife, and a full-time job. Additionally, he's never abandoned a device, even when he's running something else. Heard of the X2? He saved it. He doesn't make it a habit to build off leaks, as many devs do. Want to know why? Because stability is his number one concern. This guy builds for YOU while he is working, or in between diaper changes.
What have you done for android? Besides make yourself look like an ass in here?
How many one man teams do you know that does that? Huh? Anyone? Exactly. People like you don't deserve to have fancy, fun devices. Go get an iPhone and take your ****ty, ungrateful attitude somewhere else. Or build something yourself.
See you guys in a week or so. I'll take a ban to defend a stand up dev/person.

I had the bionic and ran his rom. damn right he made it great. why build off of a leak anyway. the leaks were coming so fast it was crazy. imagine having to start over every time. its called time management. building off of leaks seems like a good idea till you do it (I tried and failed miserably. but got a new phone out of it) I would suspect that you were not one of the ones that donated for the bionic because you did not say a bunch of "us ".so why is it any skin off of your back? thanks for the x and bionic Rome can't wait to run the gs3 version.
Right on wolf you said it
