Galaxy R hate

The Galaxy R, that most people are clamoring over, will never get a forum for certain. It's a cheap device that offers nothing new to the community. If you want to mod your device, then get a decent one that we support.

I think we might have pissed them off pretty bad.
Yes they created a sub-forum for us.
Just so that we will stop whining.
But I feel it will stop right there.
Devs may not come in to support our device.
They will probably get the devs to boycott our device n never produce anything.
Then they will claim, "We opened a forum as requested but never promised to offer support for it......".
I'm not saying it will happen, but u never know.
Just my thoughts and rambles......

XDA mods do not have control over the devs.
The devs will do whatever they want.
Do not worry my friend....
We have already 2 custom roms in production and 1 chinese custom rom it seems.
The sun shines on I9103....

calm down friends,there is no need to fight against the admins.

IMO :
Even s2 users(Or fan-boys ) hate tegra. I don't know why. I am new here. I don't know what happened before. But we have much other things to do.
just leave them.
don't worry about ROMS.
Now Samsung confirmed ICS & more people will buy this phone.
And, I think that Chinese devs already have 2 ROM( i used google translater). here some devs are trying to do. in the future we will have more...

S II fan-boys hate Galaxy R because:
- they can not accept that there is a device that looks exactly like the S II
- they can not accept that there is a device that does the same as the S II
- they can not accept that we can support Tegra 2 Games NATIVELY (we have a tegra 2 processor) and they have to use a software mod to do that
- they can not accept that our device costs less then theirs
- they can not accept that if we overclock our i9103 to 1.3 Ghz, our device is much faster then a stock SII at 1.2 Ghz
But as you say, ignore the Galaxy R haters.
Our success is the best answer.
Peace!

Goodbye A2 Community....

Hey everyone,
Tonight I used my phone upgrade and upgraded to the Atrix HD. It's been nice knowing all of you guys here in the forums, and I'm certainly going to miss you. (the ones I like anyway.... :laugh: )
Big thanks to the developers in this community for putting in so much hard work for this phone. You have been wonderful to all of us. :good:

Cheers mate, best of luck to you!

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

Really? Was that needed?

I'ts a classic "pun". I don't think it needs to be taken out of context.
So let's not start something, that isn't there to begin with

While you're still in return time look at the Sony Xperia Ion. Screen and camera makes Note, OneX etc look like a joke!

I'll pretend that was just a joke.
In all seriousness though, I have nothing against anyone and am more than happy to still help you guys out here with any questions/problems you might have. Feel free to shoot me a PM whenever.

You're leaving us just as I have updated the OP of my guide thread for n00bs! I was going to include you in the directory of Senior Members for the A2 forums, but now you're boating on us...
Anyhow, good luck with the new phone, I hope everything works out for you, and that you really enjoy it!

You're more than welcome to add my name to the list anyway in case anyone has questions/problems. I may not have the phone anymore, but I would still be more than happy to help out in any way that I can.

Okay, I'll put you on the directory. I may have to "tiny url" up some links, as I'm pushing the 30,000 character limit on this one!

Torn between hijacking a thread and cluttering up the main page with a new one - chose the hijack. I'm so sorry, MagicXB!
I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).

To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .

[Q] whats your opinion about samsung galaxy s4?

now i own a micromax rooted a116 hd..i would like to buy a samsung galaxy s4?is it realy worth al those big amount of money?

it depends
It all really depends. If you're a person who really like the newest technology and extra features then its worth it. If you don't think that you would use every feature (there are a ton) then it might not be the best choice.
I personally would buy it but i cant right now.

Should i buy it to start developing for it?

Well i've been considering going back to developing for a few months, however a few things have been stopping me from doing this, but to keep it short: for now i'm going to do it as a hobby so i'm not planning on buying an expensive phone (as i don't own an android phone right now), my contract ends this week and i can get a new Moto G for around 72 euros which i consider is a great price. So here are my doubts:
Is the community good for this phone? I've wandered around its forum a few times and so far i have a good impression, but i'd really want to know the users opinions
Do you think it's worth it and i could take advantage of this phone? I personally think its a great phone for this as its pretty much stock and for what i've seen support is quite good, but i just want to make sure
Thanks a lot, and i know this questions might seem stupid but i'd really use some help

Yes, do it!
The community is big and nice, and the phone is very nice!
A big advantage is the nearly stock android.
Have a nice day!

The phone is in Germany always out of stock. I think many people bought this phone all over the world. So the forum will grow!
Do it! Please

The more developers the better
There are a lot of people with the moto g and if you can get it that cheap I really suggest you buying it.

Yes my friend! Do it!
Its a great phone with great support!

Yes please do! This phone is amazing for the money. It's a snappy beautiful device. More roms would be fantastic!

Should be arriving next week or so, i guess i'll give a try at making a rom after a few weeks, really looking forward to this =) Quite an amazing phonee for the price

Great to see another developer getting onboard.
Really looking forward for your contribution.

Good choice! The Moto G is a nice phone for a low price, and one of the reasons I bought it is to try to develop for it as well Compiling CM11 for it as we speak.

Cool seeing there arev many devs for the phonee

Hehe, don't expect too much from me though. I'm a software engineer, but this is my first time developing for Android. I wanted to look at the code because my Moto G suffers from the dreaded RAM bug, and I have an idea what the problem could be. Hopefully I can contribute to getting it fixed

It's a great device for the price and it would be nice to have more and more developers going for it!

If you'll be doing it for ze donationz, better don't bother. Posting such a thread is hilarious.

I think It is one of the best smartphone today. It isn't expensive and it has good performance.

I dont recall mentioning donations at all, and if you knew my previous work on the Galaxy S you'd know i started without even the option to donate which i added later on after a few users asked me to do it, wouldn't have put a donation button if it wasn't for that, i don't do this for donations. I do this as a hobby because i find it fun, and it's quite satisfactory reading nice comments on work you've done (not that i have done any for the moto G yet anyway). I find it more "hilarious" you're calling a thread hilarious for such reason, if i wanted donations don't you think i'd go for a high budget phone where you could expect greater donations? The only reason i did this and i chose such phone is because i think for such price, a great base (aosp) i can learn a lot.
Not that i care about your comment anyway as it's based on bs, and saying it's hilarious says a lot about your sense of humour which i'm sorry, but i don't share it
Just wanted to clarify a few things, to avoid confusions, and i'm sorry if i offended someone with the answer but i just answered the same way as the way in which the post i'm replying to was.

yes plz we need more dev

What should I buy?

Hi everyone, (I know its not really the good section to ask this but the topic for this seems to be dead ([Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy)
1. I'm looking for a new device since my Moto G 2014 as ended :/
I was very happy with it because I love to tweak my phone and the community around it was pretty decent. I like to have the choice to install rom I want etc...
Its the most important thing for me.
2. I can put more this time on the new device. (~300€)
3. I'm not against to buy a phone who have 1 or 2 years old until he is still decent on performance and again with a good community around it.
4. I was looking for a moto X 2014, nexus 5x, LG G3 (D855) but I can't find it anymore in shop :/
5. I tried to look what can I have for 300€ at this moment and I only see phone with disappointed soc on it.
So I think you have all information you need to maybe help me to find the one
PS: I don't care about quality of screen, battery life, sound, Photo etc... I just want to stay with a 5"/5.2"/(5.5"max) with good performance better than my old Snap 400 and be able to run some games.
Again thanks if you can help me.
