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? ..........

+1 on the Bluetooth .. would be SWEET if someone can ever get it working.
On another side, also with CM7 .. for the Infuse, fix the front-facing camera resolution issue .. this camera ain't 640x480 only !!!
I want it ALL THE WORLD.....
The world is not enough...
Bluetooth would be nice. I'd also like to see some real 4G. I know it is in certain places, and it has nothing to do with the developers...
Hoping when gingerbread is finally released officially for our phones, maybe we will see some small improvements... but like you said... there's not much besides the tiny tweaks... and maybe.... getting them to fly .... haha
EDIT: OH YA!! I almost forgot the most important thing... I would like to see reliable working GPS... I have tried all the tricks I could find and it takes soooo long to get a lock and when I finally do.... suddenly I am a mile off course... Samsung GPS.... tisk... tisk
I'd like my HDMI to work again

I want ICS all up in my Infuse. ;-)
ICS would be awesome but for some reason I think it'll be like cm and never be a perfect running rom always has bugs. But I have my fingers crossed.

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.

I know stock roms have always been considered "laggy" and this official gingerbread seems to be not very responsive on the screen, choppy, crappy framerate with motion.
I have used custom roms mostly up to this point, but several times have ran stock froyo while in between custom roms and it never seemed this laggy, choppy, unresponsive...whatever you want to call it.
Just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Obviously stock gingerbread probably has better features and things than froyo, but it just seems like stock froyo runs so much better.
Whats the odds they are going to maintain this rom and actually release bug fixes and maintenance updates?
Anyways, ill be headed back to Zeus.
No lag at all with the official GB on my Infuse...actually everything is very smooth.
I hated Froyo and didn't consider it useable.
Note I did do a factory reset after upgrading to GB then installed all my apps.
BUT, if it's not working for ya...certainly go the leaked GB or Zeus...can't lose with those ROMS.
I agree on the screen part, but the system is,overall faster, a lot faster.
Yes, I think touch is,less responsive and Swype is not so satisfying(look at those commas). Space size is smaller and the comma is on the left position of old space
I guess that I have,to press harder in order to be recognized, but when I got used to it, I almost never miss a touch.
I still think it's good to upgrade. The camera app that I like is still there. I used launcherpro to block all those att bloatwares so I don't care if there is any addition.

Its very laggy due to the extra 80mb of crap att and Samsung piled into it..... the leak is quicker and lighter

Its been very snappy for me. I use go Launcher with about 8-10 apps constantly updating in the background, and have never experienced any stutter. Zero screen lag for me. Maybe your throwing too much at your phone at once? idk
Its been pretty amazing. Att apps represent maybe like 4 apps? I just hide or ignore them. No big deal. Anyhow, Ive had 75%+ battery life over the last two days WITHOUT charging!!! ! NICE!
loving this official rom. Although I like all the ICS themed framework from zeus, im not willing to leave this official rom for it. loving it!

Not the greatest but kinda what I expected. Will monitor another day then try juice defender to see if it helps (always has before on stock rom...but not much on port/custom roms).

Whooooaaaa... Didnt know there were so many haters on here! LOL! Ok ok Ill say it was more of like 1.5 days. I unplugged yesterday at around 11 am. Used internet a little. Mostly downloaded a bunch of apps, was transferring .png files to it for like 5 hours off and on using wifi file browser. checked facebook. went through several features.
--Looking at my phone now and its like at maybe 35%, When I posted earlier I was just looking at the battery icon and it looked to be just above 50%. Could have been 50%. Either way, I dont think thats bad at all. I couldnt go a full day before without charging regardless of what rom im on.
btw i use a black background on my device with almost 0 widgets save for a pulse reader widget which i have on manual update.
So am I a liar? I certainly dont think so. Are there a lot of people here who find this official rom pointless? probably. Im not one of those people fortunately. Seems rather unfortunate that after such a long time of waiting, some people dont want to grab the official rom. I havent found one thing to dislike about it. But thats just me. Maybe Im special? If so then, kindly disregard this post.
No offense to anyone btw. And sure Ill be looking to the future development of this rom for custom stuff and tweaks. But till then, and maybe after, Im sticking with the stability and performance.
No development from me off the "official" from me considering Zeus is already running the same system. . If we get source is the only time you'll see any more updates from the devs ....

Well I dont know what I am dong wrong but my screen with typing and clicking is definately without a doubt less responsive. If I try to text quickly and dont stop to correct stuff, its just a bunch of jumbled mess that doesnt make sense.

haha dont act like you dont! lol!
No lag here, have you thought about doing a factory reset before complaining. You'll need to start clean, backing up data on a Froyo rom and then loading it on a gb rom is just making the new rom dirty. Start clean!
You need to let the new firmware settle. **** isn't going to be super fast when you first install it. 10mins isn't enough, try 3 days then come back and *****

This will be the One and Only thread about JB discussion. Anything JB goes here. Any other thread will be locked.
Cheers
Edit: No ETA
Awesome. Couple things I want to bring to the table.
1) @prbassplayer: Asking for an ETA should be fine, people want to know an ETA for something they're excited for. The release of ANYTHING (movies, games, etc) all have people wanting a release date.
2) How new does 4.1 actually seem? Code wise I mean; do devs need to change the hell out of the GNex ROM, or is just many small things that break when tried on our phone.
3) Finally high res contact pictures
4) My friend's running JB, and it's sick. Be excited for this.
5) I was hoping for integration of Gtalk, G+ messenger, SMS, Gvoice and all their other chat programs. The ideal of a unified messaging system for all their services + SMS is just too awesome. I'm actually a little unsure why thye haven't done this.
The release of Movies, games, etc usually mean money for the production side. Devs here do this for free (apart from donations). No ETA's. Its out when the devs feel its worth releasing.
Cheers
So soon cleaning thread. On Topic JB
Cheers
Guys, drop the eta debate please. Lets keep this a thread worth having. Flame and expectation free. It is not why its here. Moving on.....
What is the feature from jb that you are most excited to see? The previously mentioned hi def contact pictures is appealing to me, since I put individual contact shortcuts on my launcher home page. Hoping for the best on this. We have some great devs working on it.

Google Now, Project Butter, and the notifications. I'm also glad they finally put in high res contacts.
Honestly, all I'm missing from Android now is a unified messaging service. They already have the potential, just need to implement it.
Also, I'm excited ಠ_ಠ will now be a native symbol between phones. ಠ_ಠ
Project butter, and notifications! High res contacts is cool but theres already an app that fixes that.. so they just making it built in finally. (as it should have already been)

The problem is Gmail contacts actually, when you wipe for a ROM it looses all the high res pics when syncing. So I'm actually not sure if this inclusion will help at all?
Also HUGE thing that people may have not noticed, watch the demo here. The program autocorrects itself for context. From know to though.
How big a change, in terms of coding and implementation, is JB? *Note, NOT asking for an ETA, Devs take as long as you want/need* I'm genuinely curious as it seems like a minor change compared to GB to ICS, so I'm not sure how that translates to kanging it for our phone.
I really like the stuff I'm seeing with Google Now. I love stuff like that. Butter is definitely a nice touch but honestly I never feel like my phone is lagging enough for it to bother me.
Can't wait for my Nexus 7 to get here so I can start playing with it!

OK guys, here goes. I've been experimenting with alotta ROMs lately, mostly ICS. In time I've realized that we never have the features that we paid for, mainly 1080p recording. If the phone doesn't oporate the way we paid for it to (And I paid full price) then is it not a waste to flash the ROM?
I love the speed and battery efficiency I get from the devs and I'm blown away by the amount that they've accomplished, but I've been recently contemplating falling back to stock simply because I'll have the awesome camera. I'd even settle for a top notch Sensation ROM. I know this sounds like a complainer thread, but I've been really losing morale with this device. It seems there will be no more hard KB devices so I might defect to a One S or wait for a One S equivalent from T-mobile. What do you guys think?
I will never give up my keyboard. You leave if you like. And these custom roms are supposed to give our phone something it would've never had otherwise. A functioning ICS rom. If you can't live without everything working, then you should stick to stock or stock tweaked. (I can't use 1080p even if it was working. Don't have a fast enough card )
Rom building and compiling takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention skill.
Essentially, these fine devs are doing the work HTC and T-Mobile were never going to do. Lazy greedy scum they are

I personally don't think that it's a waste to flash these ROMs. Mainly because IMO (aside from 1080p recording) we're really getting more than what we paid for if you think about it. All the features that are available with ICS alone would have made this device more expensive to begin with off the shelf. Then add features of CM9 that these devs are cooking into the ICS ROMs or the features of Sense/ICS ROMs combined together...I think we it's a great thing what's been accomplished.
If 1080p recordning is the main thing you really want then I'd follow the previous suggestion and flash stock or go with a modded stock ROM. There will be no defecting for me. I love physical keyboards! I use mine daily in one way or another.
Even if it comes to the point that nothing on this device is supported anymore I will have this phone lol. We have enough to be used as DDs. So all in all for me, I don't think these ROMs are a waste to flash/use.

This is why I use Bulletproof. It has everything we paid for, and is much more stable and optimized than the stock rom. I would love to have an ICS rom, but I want everything to work on my phone. This is my choice. I am happy with using a GB rom, because my phone does everything I want it to. If it isn't broke don't fix it.

I'm sorta in the same boat as OP. I've flashed everything and found camera limitations with all of them, so I'm really waiting a 1080p fix with flawless camera otherwise before I go back to ICS. I really love how far everything has come this year in terms of development and it's much appreciated, but I don't plan on going back to an ICS ROM without a fully functioning camera. I have an 19 month year old son and just can't risk it!
My dream is ICS with Sense, but even just for a nice camera fix, I think I'd be okay without Sense.
Running Mik in the meantime. Bulletproof was nice except for the green tint to everything.
Hoping for a camera fix soon. Wallet will be opened then!

I am in north carolina, my dev computer is in pennsylvania. I bought yogi's doubleshot, he doesn't have one anymore.
I don't know what I have, but whatever it is it's hundreds of miles away and wholly unavailable.
If you want to host the UV kernels, they were made by yogi, but I'm sure it'll be okay - only issue is no sources, so...?
If it's kosher to link them up here, then feel free to host them and make a thread for it if you want, I have no issue with it, if it'll help someone that's what's important.
Just make sure to credit yogi, and make sure to be explicit about no support from the authors. I'm not quite in a position to do so yet with my new job, still absorbing a lot of data and training, so my brain and body are worn and exhausted after my shift ends in the morning.
I'll bring this to yogi's attention, or at least ask about it, but I don't see an issue with sharing it, provided the two requests I made above are filled.
Sent from a digital distance.
Oh, not gonna quote the whole OP yet again in the thread on page 1... But...
Op - if you feel something is lacking, you are in the place to give you the best shot at figuring out how to make it do what you want.
As far as getting all the features you paid for, well, you paid htc or tmobile, or a little of both, or you bought it secondhand, but the money was originally collected by one or both of those entities. If you use the software they provide, then you get what you paid for.
Using an alternate software version, like what you find here, actually gives you much more then what you paid for it - for you paid nothing, and got a whole lot in return.
You can jump in and help the active devs solve problems, or wait until they do, but the argument about getting whatever value you invested real money into evaporates the moment you flash any non-stock OS.

If it's kosher to link them up here, then feel free to host them and make a thread for it if you want, I have no issue with it, if it'll help someone that's what's important.
Just make sure to credit yogi, and make sure to be explicit about no support from the authors. I'm not quite in a position to do so yet with my new job, still absorbing a lot of data and training, so my brain and body are worn and exhausted after my shift ends in the morning.
I'll bring this to yogi's attention, or at least ask about it, but I don't see an issue with sharing it, provided the two requests I made above are filled.

I would but I have no computer, I got a hold of your OC kernel. Then dropped the UV my self using some chart I found here. I can't wait to see you back here. CM9 soucre, and 3.0 Kernel Soucre. Bulletproof ICS?

OK guys, here goes. I've been experimenting with alotta ROMs lately, mostly ICS. In time I've realized that we never have the features that we paid for, mainly 1080p recording. If the phone doesn't oporate the way we paid for it to (And I paid full price) then is it not a waste to flash the ROM?
I love the speed and battery efficiency I get from the devs and I'm blown away by the amount that they've accomplished, but I've been recently contemplating falling back to stock simply because I'll have the awesome camera. I'd even settle for a top notch Sensation ROM. I know this sounds like a complainer thread, but I've been really losing morale with this device. It seems there will be no more hard KB devices so I might defect to a One S or wait for a One S equivalent from T-mobile. What do you guys think?

Virtuous Inquisition & Rubix Ice 5.3 both have functioning 1080 video recording. There may even be a couple more. I can't recall. V I even uses the original Doubleshot camera.

Not true... Virt Inq dosn't have working 1080p, or the DS camera. It's using the Sense 3.6 camera. Only Rubix, and any stock based Roms have it(1080p/DS Camera).

I'd dance naked in the street for a Virtuous Primadonna with working 1080 camera...
Or at least an s-series virtuous ROM...

Sorry...it IS 720. But that sure looked like the original DS camera to me. Best I could remember...

Heck, I've got a computer. Why can't we just upload it to a share site with permission, of course. If this is the same same Yogi from the G2 section, I remember him and he was a nice guy. I doubt he'd mind with proper credit. Let me know if I can help. I'm still settling in here and am a newb as far as the Doubleshot goes. I'd love to support this device with whatever can like I try to do with all my devices. Just looking for what needs to be done/or something helpful that's not too much beyond my expertise or time lol! I am a bit concerned and confused on the framework variations between ICS and GB but I can pick it up as I go. I've only run 2 ICS roms between two devices so I have a lot of reading to do. Well, my computer is here if y'all need it. Feel free to pm me if anyone needs it or if I can help.

To be fair, I never used this feature before I flashed CM9, and I continue to not need it. Cameras, to me, are just a bonus. I just want a faster phone with better battery life.
What are you guys pros, cons, and recommendations.

Great phone, few annoyances
Overall I think it's a great phone, with a lot of potential. The battery life blows the Epic out of the water, the reception is WAY better, and the keyboard is amazing once you get past the initial learning curve.
Even the stock ROM is not that bad.. My only real gripe is the lack of any toggle buttons in the notifications menu. That drives me insane, I use those constantly and HATE having to go into the settings every time I want to turn anything on or off.
I am, however, eagerly awaiting a root method and some custom ROM goodness. Which will quite easily take care of the majority of my gripes (besides the non-removable battery).

I hated that damn epic. this phone is superior in every way. contrary to the "bigger is better" hype, I like the size of the phone. It fits nicely in my hand and I don't have to be a contortionist to get my fingers across the screen. the only issue I have to complain about so far, besides the lack of toggles, is that if you have head phones or a bluetooth device connected, the notifications play thru it instead of the back speak. But that could user error on my part.. It isn't that much thicker than the original Photon. I'm holding them both in my hands right now and the weight isn't that much different either, especially for a slider. I'm not in to much of a hurry for any custom roms. but it would be nice to have root. I'm sure shabby or one of the other great devs will have that taken care of soon enough...

I tried it out, and it basically works... It does have a sort of tacked on feeling. I'd much prefer a baked in solution tho.

There are other alternatives, just giving 1 example.
So far, my thoughts on this device are that it is amazing! This could just be because i'm upgrading from a DROID Eris from Verizon, but this device does just about everything right!
The keyboard is by far the best one I've used on a mobile device, its very tactile and the back light is bright and adjustable. The phones performance is top notch, no lag in apps or just scrolling around. I've even gotten my ps1,n64,and gba emulators running great with keys mapped to the keypad
My internet browsing experience is been quite good, even though I'm still using sprint's 3g network, all websites load up quick and are smooth.
The screen looks fantastic, although it isn't full HD, colors are vibrant and watching videos is great on the phone. Overall, i am VERY pleased with the device so far, and i cant wait to see what developers have in store for it!

I just tossed the power control widget that's included on my home screen. While you can't get to it from everywhere, it's only one button away.
The only thing about this phone that I truly do not like is notification light. I don't like green XD

If anyone buys/uses the HD Dock and/or the Vehicle Dock for the Q, I'd be highly interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences after a bit of time using those as well....just tossing that out there for present and future owners alike.
Found this fairly indepth impression post by someone over at Phandroid, worth a read by those considering buying:

Better than the Galaxy S III?
So, the question for me is how does it compare to the Galaxy SIII?
Well the sg3 was out because samsung does not update crap. So I was leaning towards the htc evo lte when I heard about the photon q. Sometimes I have to compose some sizable emails for work and the touch typing can get pretty frustrating in those situations, so I end up using my epics keyboard a lot. Even thought about getting the htc and a blackberry just for emails for work

i did actually, froyo came a little slower but i understand why, back then AOSP was really closed off towards just the nexus one. you want proof in that look at how long it took from eclair to froyo vs froyo to gb, samsung had based the nexus s off its samsung galaxy line so it was able to know how to have the code work on the humming bird a hell of a lot sooner. in fact the gingerbread update was posted the day ICS was announced, thus making the epic only 1 update "behind". granted its two now but its also past its two year mark (or rather tomorrow it will be, i remember picking mine up on august 31st 2010 launch day)
the epic 4g touch launched with gingerbread not that long ago it got ics and will prolly get jellybean someday. sgs3 launched with ICS and the tmo version already has leaks of JB, meaning it will prolly happen soon.
now lets compare that to the photon (im sure a few other moto phones fit this bill) launched with 2.3.4, after 7?8? months got an update to 2.3.5 instead of ICS, ICS is coming later this year which means it will only be one update behind until Key Lime is released this november, what do you think the odds are of the photon getting jellybean officially? so as of this november it will be 2 behind and stay that way, considering photon owners are 1 year into their 2 year agreement for that device doesnt leave a lot of hope.
