Over the whine-boys in the forum!!!

This may be a BS thread, and may get close, deleted or cause me to get banned, but something has to be said.
THIS PHONE HAS BEEN OUT FOR 3 FRIGGIN WEEKS!!!!!!! GET OVER NOT HAVE A TON OF DEVELOPMENT OUT THE BOX!!!!!
Lets get real people. Phones like the G1, myTouch 3G and Nexus One did NOT have a ton of development from the get go. They took months before multiple ROM's, custom Launcher's, custom App's, themes and so on were available. If you were a late bloomer to any of the phones (3+ months after release) then you would not know this and you would not know that ROM development does NOT happen overnight. So STOP whining. Guys like G8gorilla, persiansown and teamsilence (to name a few) are NOT here for YOUR benefit. They develop ROM's, MOD's, and changes because it is what THEY want to do to THEIR phone. They decide to share it with you because that is the type of people they are. Sometimes, some of us, donate to them to thank them for their time, BUT THAT IS IS, ITS A DONATION FOR A THANKS, NOT PAYMENT.
If you do not like the Development we have in just 3 weeks of release on this phone, then BUY A FRIGGIN NEXUS!!!!! And quit whining. If you bought this phone based solely on the development capabilities, then friggin learn how to develop, stop putting it on other members and again, QUIT WHINING!!!!
SHEESH!!!

There, there dear, I love you. lol

Heck yeah!!!
I've answered several threads about this and really it took a long time for all the threads about the G1 and mytouch 3g to blow up.
Yeah +1... People need to give it a rest!

Thanks for saying what I was thinking!

I bought this phone for the hardware and how much my MyTouch3G lasted. I will be patient and wait for the development, everyone should as well. If your not gonna be patient go buy a subpar G2 or N1.

Hell yes, chill the f*ck out people.

The OP really puts everything he has into his posts.

Call it like it is...
Well said brother.

Just add my five cents)
This phone is not need to be in development. It always has all things. We got S-OFF and perma-root. We can delete crap stock apps, can modify system.
If will Android 2.3 released, we will get it, cause T-Mobile cares about customers last time (not all time, but release Android 2.2 for MT3G family - it's a great action)
What do you want whine-boys? SenseUI? MotoBlur? Samsung Home?
If yes, why did you buy MyTouch 4G?

Just little "hear hear" from the perspective of a developer. Devs are not here as your servants. if you want something developed, do it yourself. People will help you out, if you ask for help, and give the info needed to answer it.
If you're here to hassle developers, and flame, don't do it here. Developers do this for fun, and are more than entitled to abandon the device and move to one where they're more appreciated.
So don't shoot yourselves in the feet here folks. look after your devs, and they'll look after you.

[maybe a new rom?] WebOS 3.0 port?

I know i have did a little joke about the CDMA Hero and webOS but it was in fact harmless, and since i will be getting a hold of the 3.0 WebOS rom, I am going to work on "Porting" via emulation on the EVO 4G. (So no one can ban me, and everyone can use it, even without ROOT.)
If anyone wants to help, or has ideas, drop me a PM or even just reply on here.
I will be doing this LEGITIMATELY and LEGALLY of course, and also, i will be updating this thread almost everyday.. ALMOST everyday. NOT everyday.
Thank you in advance for any help.

me to!!!!! i wanna test it!!!! I think the combo of evo size and webOS is a great idea. that was my second thought when i saw something some iphone dual boot android, not fully functional but it booted. and i figure it would be webOS 2.0 or later since it has the on screen keyboard.
if there is anything i can help with, I am at your service.

Damn.... Guess I wont be checking this thread anymore, LOL
And honestly speaking... If I want Web OS I'd buy a Palm phone...

Why would you even want webOS on your Evo? It seems to be just Sense, but more palm-y. If you're interested in this, just flash MikFroyo or something.

i think i flashed mikfroyo as one of my first roms, alooong time ago don't really recall, i miss webOS, and would like to see it on the evo, 9 hshalf of it is due to screen size and possible better performance on better hardware. but i am still happily waiting for the new hp phone.

I had the palm pre before I got the Hero and then the Evo... I only got the Palm because I switched from T-Mo and the G1 to Sprint and there were no Android choices on Sprint yet... The Palm Pre was a decent phone.. better than that iPhone I had way back when on AT&T.... but.. It doesnt hold a candle to where Android is at today.... WebOS has been stagnant compared to Android development and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

Ahhh I remember you I was following that thread man when I had my heroc shame on you for that. You made alot of people upset so your respect as a dev is nonexistent until you provide dude. You even went all out to photoshop pics smh. In blankstare news.....is it 4/1/11?

HA! Your right, I remember somebody found the same pic on google! I forgot about that, lmao. I agree with the second part of your post. I remember mrinehart or something close to that was the main Dev for that project. He went away for some break at school for 2 weeks. In the mean time this cat (OP) started saying he got it to boot and started posting files. The first brick was blamed on the flasher not following directions or something. Then it was he posted the wrong ROM files. Then he loads up more files, claiming these were the ones. By that the mods got wind and locked the thread down. Same should be done here before some n00b gets a brick from this clown!

Yea that was me that found the picture and duplicated it, don't forget 2 weeks later when he posted it again after that boot from sd card thing came out and nobody took him seriously

Good find! I do recall the dual boot script and him trying to re-release his bricks/files, lol. Kinda sad because he sent mrinehart into hiding. I ran into him on Android central not to long ago though. We were both working on building a AOSP for the Optimus S, didnt get to far. SD mounted, sound worked, then Beezy got the radio working, right after that Zefie released a CM7 rom

Virtusous Fusion thread closed?

Does anyone know what happened with this ROM/Thread? I'm only curious. A lot of mystery behind *pending investigation*
Mods: Feel free to delete this thread
All: Feel free to criticize

Welcome to the new management aka dumber than the last one. Some of these special folks now locks the thread and cleans it so flame war ect won't continue when locked.

Makes a bit of sense. It's funny because I was starting to just get into it... I'm not sure I can wait, I might have to see what royalginger or faux's AOSP is all about. I'm addicted to flashing ROMs I think.

Now I never used evil D's rom/kernel or anything. But on serious note as another user in another thread said his rom may have radio.img in it maybe the reason it was pulled. As we all know the danger with corrupted radio.img and as the user says he didn't supply folks with md5 checksum which would give higher risk of bricking the device if corrupted. So maybe thats why it was pulled who knows only evil D and dingleberry mods knows.

Well technically yes legally HTC can make claim and have it removed. But in the past they have not done so as they actually have very open standard with Android development world. As more news hits of unlocked bootloader and opensense sdk which proves more on that matter.
Far as stolen source code goes let say from another user no one else has put any projects as evil d's contribution is known in our community. Now the new mods may not know this as they don't even own MT4G nor has they been in our sections until Option went MIA. If these new mods do lock/delete it then all of the evil D users should boycott XDA and go download from his direct site if they have it. It seems XDA is becoming very cocky atm with its 4million userbase which can drop any min if main developers pulled back from here.

lol you really don't know who I am then. I can't clearly say I support any type of moderation's let it be mod, super mod, admin as I have dealt with all of them in here. I just think they should assign new mod who at least have a clue with the device we have. Also the new mods nuked alot of my posts which actually had no flame, ect and was actually informative. If they contributed to our device in any ways I would be supportive but since they haven't I can say I share their value. Whos/Option both where our own MT4G member but the other 2 new mod's now don't even own MT4G. So they actually offer nothing to the members here.

But far as rom goes I stick to AOSP as I am not big fan of Sense based. ATM using CM7NB86 (AOSP2.3.4).

I like the customization, nice look. I was CM7 for a little bit, I loved it, was going to switch back but I got hung up on the HTC apps. I still can't find a ROM that does VM notification for 'mycarrier', it never works and bugs the crap out of me, so I use googlevoice.
I agree that mods should be experienced with the hardware/software that their respective sections of moderation use. runs smoother that way and I think overall creates synergy(I love that word). But the objectiveness of a mod that doesn't have any affiliation with the section can be useful in when stopping disputes/flame/etc. IDK the real reason why the thread was locked but it seemed like that move was jumping the gun a bit.

I also see that another developer that was pretty new and had posted 3 roms within the last week is suddenly gone now also. He had a really good stock rom for MT4G that was GingerSense but now all of his threads and posts are gone. Nowhere to be found. Can only see his roms via rom manager.

If you read a few pages back into the thread, it should be pretty obvious why the download link was removed and the thread temporarily closed. None of the issues discussed in this thread are the real reason. It should be an easy fix, so hopefully the matter is resolved soon.

Couldn't be something as simple as the missing MD5 sum could it...?

Or you could have told the OP why in single line instead of him reading few pages. Some folks like myself never used his rom's much less visited his threads but we would be still interested to know why.

it may be the fact that the thread turned into a pissing contest and everyone was arguing about stupid crap like evil updating the rom everyday. which i dont see them pulling the rom for that reason. glad i have every version downloaded already

ROM Flashing Newb Question

I recently converted to the Android side, rooted, customized, etc etc etc. Now I'd like to root for further theming, bloat removal, and whatever other optimizations come along with that.
But, after reading various ROM threads for Skyrocket, it seems there are a ton of issues that pop up that, as a total newb, I wouldn't be immediately able to resolve on my own. Not just the threat of bricking my phone, but losing MMS capability, or WIFI not working right, and so on.
My questions: Is it worth the hassle? Are these issues minor and quickly resolved? Can I truly brick my Skyrocket ("brick" to me means render it permanently inoperable)? Which ROM is the most popular for Skyrocket?
Thanks for your patient responses.

Yes you can truly brick your skyrocket. If u accidentally have re-partition checked in odin is a good way to do that. Yes rooting is worth it. You cant just jump in and do it. You need to research, and understand what your doing before hand. Learn what rooting is. Learn the basics. What odin is. What a tar is. What cwm is. Just read read read. Then when you do decide to taje the leap follow all instructions posted exactly.
Everyone has a best rom of choice. Depends on the person. I choose red sonja rom. To me its the best. Butbonce you root, and learn how to flash a rom. You will have to try them, and decide which is.best for you
---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
We all started as noobs. And through lots of reading and research weball learn. The ins and outs

Exactly what silver said. I crapped my pants with my first root and flash... Ended up soft-bricking and with all the research I did I fixed it. Youtube is a really big help too! Make sure you have a backup and backup plan. Good luck and welcome to the smart side of smart phones!
Knowledge is the way to go
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Thanks. I guess the threat of bricking my phone is somewhat deterring. Guess I'll keep reading around on it.

It is but if you take the proper precautions and have all the available files you'll be alright. And for God sakes make sure you have debugging checked.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Just read the guides is my advice. I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and xda has provided with the best help by far. This is my first true smart phone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^agree with everyone. i used to mess with my g-tablet while i had my iphone (jailbroken of course) and now i just got the skyrocket knowing that xda would provide tools to modify the phone from its orignial capabilities. having a little knowledge of cwm and flashing roms i felt that it would be fairly simple to apply the same tools to my skyrocket. after reading and reading through every thread i was skepticle about rooting and flashing a custom rom to my phone because of all the problems people were having. the MOST important thing is READ and UNDERSTAND the instructions before you do anything. even after my experience with the tablet, it still took me 3 weeks to fully understand what i needed to do and what i needed to do it. i rooted a few days ago and yesterday i flashed skyscreamsandwich, and today i applied the camara hack. i love this phone 10X more than i did stock and looking forward to more. the ones having so many issues are not following proper instructions and not doing reasearch thus soft bricking or even bricking their phones (and trust me i know from experience, i bricked an atrix) still takes guts do dive in, no guts no glory!!! just my 2c good luck...

Thanks again. Of course, if I do brick it, I probably wouldn't count on AT&T replacing the thing..

If you brick, don't panic. Worst case scenario a jig would be needed to unbrick. Soft brick can be undone without much grief. Just read before you do anything.

yup, we were all noobs at one point.
Most important thing to remember on the forums, READ before you ask questions. This is not because we don't like to answer questions, but when it's a question that has been asked hundreds of times before and answered......it gets aggravating.
Sometimes you will not find the answers you are looking for in the SkyRocket forums....sometimes you will need to venture into other parts of xda. Google is also your friend as well as other sites like RootzWiki.
Also remember to be polite and patient when asking questions. When I first started I always asked the question followed by a plea for forgiveness if I was asking something that had been answered. It also helps to post links or sites where you did go search for answers. It's a good thing to show you are being pro active in looking for your answer and not just expecting everyone to solve your issue.
We have to remember. These are OUR phones, not anyone elses on the forums, WE have to take responsibility for our own devices. Whatever you do with YOUR phone is entirely on YOU, not the Devs or xda or anyone else that may have answered a question for you.
Following these basic ideas makes for a better community. I believe in community, I had a great bunch of friends over in the Captivate forums......which most of them remain friends on Google +
I look forward to making more friends here on the SkyRocket forums.....and together we can make this a kick ass community.

I think it already is a kickass community. And hopefully remains that way.

[Q] HTC Inspire Root

Hi all,
first of all I just wanna admit that I am an inept in rooting androids. My friends told me to root my HTC Inspire to CM or some such like that.
I'm not sure if this is a new thread for you guys, but it is for me. I've come to this decision based on the fact that my htc inspire is becoming like crap, hopless, and without a doubt, sh!t can. AT&T won't give a damn anymore about the software updates, so I've decided to take care of business myself.
I've been doing some research regarding rooting the android and I've come across this. I'm still not sure how the whole process works.
Anyone care to help a helpless/hopless brother out?
Thanks

Well the AAHK is the tool you need to root. But before you try it, I would suggest spending some time reading this forum and learning exactly what rooting and custom ROMs are all about. Understand the process, what can go wrong, and how to fix it if it does. Everything you need to know has already been discussed here and it's expected that you search for the answers you need.
Once you're ready to root, read the OP of the thread that you linked to. Then read it again. Download the tool and read the "effin manual" that is included. Do exactly what it says in the manual. The steps are simple but very specific. If you don't prep the computer properly you're going to run into problems.

The Hack Kit is awesome and works beautifully, but you have to understand what you are doing. If you fail to read and understand de process and what is required to achive the root access then you will probably get jammed.
The question is why your cell sucking?? if you are experiencing freezes or lagsm then be carefull that you don´t actually have a hardware issue. If your cells sucks just because you got tired of it then go ahead and you will have a lot of new feautres to add and to install to it.
Read carefully and follow instructions. If you are stuck then hit the IRC channel...

The Ace Hack Kit is definitely the easiest way to root. I can tell you when I first got an Android phone I read up as suggested here and was able to root successfully and progress from there over the past year and a half. Cheers.

To the. Op there is like a million threads on the how to root inspire phone. I can post back like 10 threads asking the same thing. Like the members say read and research and read more and more ... read the hack kit like 20xs so you understand it. Everything you ask like rooting roms how to flash roms making back ups. Radios and rils are all or been posted so research would hate to see a new member get *****ed at for not reading or watching that video when you sign up.

I am in the same boat ,new to this hobbie and I do see how at first it can seem very overwhelming .There is a wealth of info out there and people willing to help. I have been using the search function on YouTube. Just search for exactly what it is your wanting to know and you should come up with a step by step . I find actually seeing the process done is helping me understand alot faster.....

I rooted my phone 3 days ago and took out most of the bloat ware. From my experience thus far, the knowledge here is right on. I spent 5 days reading and using the search button like a mad man. I found all my answers, so far.
Download the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, inside there is a manual, it's called Effen Manual, read it. I read it three times and the instructions were spot on. It took literally just under 6 minutes. Just read the manual and use the search button it works. I haven't had to ask any questions yet.

just keep reading and it eventually makes sense!

It's truly a very enjoyable experience to learn what your phone is capable of once you've released it from the cuffs of ATT. I bought my Inspire on the day it came out for ATT in Feb 2011. After rooting and getting all of the benefits, I still haven't found a reason to buy a new phone..

Noobs take note, this is how it's done.

Here's another tip, before you start another thread when you can't get it to work in Windows. Follow the instructions for the Ubuntu method.

OmI'm another one that used the ace hack kit for the first time a week ago. I researched for probably a good month before I even downloaded it and read the effin manual. By the time I got to that point, I already knew what I was getting into for he the most part. I ran into a couple hiccups along the way, but the effin manual literally had all the answers I needed. I just either didn't read carefully enough or somehow overlooked some details. After rooting, I waited and researched for about another week before I decided to flash the ics from in the development section. Did that successfully without a hitch also. And remember, this is my very first time rooting a phone.
What I'm just trying to say is that all the info is definitely out there/here. Just be patient, read and don't rush it.

its all in the hack kit. read the effen manual and then read it again then it will go smooth as butter. dont try to rush and dont be afraid. you will be pleased with the results.

i wish i could help but im new to the rooting process as well. Im not sure how to root, what exactly are the ROMs and what flashing means.
