Are there other Motorola handsets that have similar hardware to the triumph? I ask for porting reasons. It was nice modding the vibrant because we had the i9k for resources and information. I'm wondering if there's a similar moto device.

Im bored so ill respond, the triumph is not a actual moto device it's a rebranding of the Huawii X6.....
Interesting. I saw the thread about the doom kernel. Is it safe to say that x6 gingerbread will be portable?

I was porting it, just missing some lib files, I been busy lately now with school.

I have the G2x right now and I keep considering the Sensation. The only thing that is stopping me is that the bootloader may be hard to crack. The devs have yet to do it for several devices and this may be the next. Will this stop you or are you still buying?

Was definitely a deal breaker for me with atrix, but sense I can live with until its hacked. Blur and touchwiz I cannot, so no, I'm still getting it

From what HTC leaks said, it will have a level of security like thunderbolt or incredible S.
If it's like thunderbolt it will be very easy to unlock, if it's like IS given the actual R&D of the devs...it ''may'' be unlocked once released if the IS method is working.
So it doesn't look like an impossible mission for our good devs
All the N1,Desire and DHD devs will work on it, very few are going towar the SGS2
Yes. It IS a deal-breaker for me. It was the only reason I didn't get the Incredible S two months ago.
So far it looks like the only way to unlock the Incredible S is with an XTC Clip and the last time I looked it was only working for some models.
Bin4ry may have made some headway on this but the last post I see from him with any new information on the matter was on the 26th of April when he said, "I said that i made progress YES, but i have not achieved anything."
TBH I've been having a terrible Android experience so far. Being on the Motorola Milestone, I still don' tknow what it's like to be on a fully free device... not to mention the 256mb RAM really CRIPPLES the entire experience of this phone.
So while the specs on these new phones are nice, I think I'd be getting a screwed up vision of Android once again if these phones never get unlocked. Somehow I had hoped Moto's bootloader would get cracked. Boy was I wrong.
The question is : why getting the risk ? there is plenty of unlocked bootloaders devices out there from LG and SE and even some better spec'd like the SGS2. LG and SE aren't very supported by devs but HTC and Samsung are the best supported one, so if a free bootloader is important for you and you don't even want to worry about dev support take an unlocked one
But for me it is not a dealbreaker as I'm getting both (SGS2 and Sensation), but for someone that will only pick one of the two you might have to think twice..

Still the kernel can't be changed. Keep in mind that a stable 2.2 rom wasn't possible until motorola released beta's of that rom. This due to the fact that the 2.2 rom didn't really want to work with the 2.1 kernel. Motorola isn't really great at writing kernels either.
I already know the next android version will probably won't work.

So it will be rootable and we can block ads, use apps requiring root, etc, just not load different ROMs?
Not overly concerned about custom Roms, but definitely want to be able to run some apps that require root.
If I am understanding this correctly my G2x is going back tonight.
I'm completely content to run a stock ROM if it's stable. I've never had occasion to root or put an alternative ROM on my Nexus One and all of my experiences with the HD2, G1, and Viewsonic G-Tablet ROMs have been mixed, Cyanogen or otherwise.
Definitely not a deal breaker.

Hmm I did understand that the latest update of the wildfire made it impossible to flash custom firmware. Hope it doesn't go that way.
I don't see a forum for it and I might be picking this up today. From what I can see, it can be rooted and that's about it.
Is there any chance for development on this? Also are custom roms as prevalent on tablets as phones?

Im looking at getting an older android phone just for rooting and flashing roms. OK .... to play around with it lol... Any opinions on what I should get?
I'd recommended a Droid Incredible. I loved that phone when I had it and there are a bunch of roms out there for it.

what about the HTC Eris?
No question, get an HD2. They're incredibly cheap because they came with Windows Mobile as stock, incredibly easy to flash and has the largest spanning forums of any device. You can get every flavour of Android on it from Sense to Touchwiz to AOKP to ICS MIUI. AND, if you're bored you can play around with Windows Phone 7

Just to help you decide, you should probably look at the HD2 Forums
its hard to find them. i just looked and the HD2 is pretty hard to find
I would go with something overbuilt at the time to keep up with the changing flavors of Android.
HTC incredible, definitely, it's a fun learning phone and many still work on it.
Ok I haven't exactly found an answer for this so I'm asking. First Why do people say we won't get a fully functional ICS/JB Rom port if HTC doesn't give us ICS?
The reason I would like to know this is merely because I have a Samsung captivate, it has ICS(fully functional), and Samsung never released ICS for it. I know that its different hardware and manufacturer, but wouldn't the same concept apply to all devices?
If not please explain why the same concept doesn't apply here.
Thanks.

There are some really great ics roms out here and desirehd forum. They just have very minor issues which don't bother me at all. The issue here I noticed is that no matter what the devs give is the users will never be satified and will always complain about something whether this or that or not getting this or that. As far as I'm concerned I have a fully functional ics rom thanks to LC and Exists( hope its spell correctly)lol and a few other devs here.

It doesn't apply here because its hardware is 90% the same as the nexus s and that got ICS source a long time ago. We don't have a similar nexus device like that so it is more difficult .

So I have another question...considering the HTC incredible s got ICS will that help them port ICS to the Inspire 4G/ Desire HD considering Its very identical?

Hey all,
I was just wondering which phones are most popular here at XDA in terms of developer contribution and such. I'm looking to buy a phone, but a little low on money, and that running a nice custom ROM will compensate for the potentially ageing hardware.
I know that the HD2 is definitely one of the most popular phones here, but what other phone have huge dev support?
Thanks,

The original Atrix 4G is rather smallish, but not sure about the bootloader options. I do know that the Atrix 2 DOES have a locked bootloader, is slightly larger than the OG, and has some good development regardless of its locked down BL. I personally would NOT recommend ANY Motorola devices, they lock them down and updates are not coming quickly. The A2 devs are working on cracking the BL with a possible brute force script to hit the CDT table in order to flash a custom CDT to bypass key signature checks. But, it is uncertain what RSA encryption is being used- either 512 or 1024 bit cyphered. I got the SGS3 for the performance and dev support...

Gt-i9000 has 84 pages of full android development. I own a Gt- i9001 which is stronger than i9000 and it has only 18 pages!!! I9001 is one of the most popular android devices. Dont forget that it used to be the best phone from 2010 until the first dualcore devices.
However both of these devices if the brick its not very dificult to unbring such as other devices as galaxy note....
