[BOUNTY][REACHED]Let's get nitroglycerine33 Eclipse ROM on our s3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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!

eclipse ROMs are more like AOSP roms, at least that's what it was on my DX2. correct me if i'm wrong

He made a great Rom for the Fascinate, Evil Fascination, based off touchwiz. It was the only Rom i ran for about a year. It was that good

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 couldn't agree more. I ran Eclipse on my charge and my RAZR Maxx I woods veer off and try others (,I think I have a problem) but would always come back to eclipse.

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?
ICS leaks were coming weekly for a little while there... I love people like you who feel entitled to things.

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.
Peace.

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

Cyanogen beats ALL manufacturers to 2.3

Just read on Twitter. Cyanogen has 2.3. (sadly not for us).
But to put it in perspective. As their official Twitter announcement stated.
A bunch of GEEKS beat all manufacturers to 2.3 *Gingerbread* by reverse engineering their devices.
GREAT WORK ALL..

Do they mean they beat them to upgrading devices to 2.3? because there are already 2.3 devices out iirc.
yeah my buddy has been running CM7 for a few weeks now i think on his HTC Desire.
because of the camera and mms issues he went back to 6.1 though.
Either way progress up stream always helps us!
Not us specifically since we have already been told we wont be seeing cm for our device unless somebody not on the cm team ports it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Just saying. Even if we never see CM7 there is still the knowledge that they gained that could be used.
More importantly it shows the ingenuity and selfless dedication that the DEVs in the community have..
Yeah that is true... imagine what amazing things we could get if some manufacturer would hire a couple of these devs and take the risk of having a totally open phone that could come rooted and available to theme and install roms on... the amount of work the developers we have could do if they were being paid an actual salary and had tons of coders and R&D and everything is just too much to think about. imagine how much money they could make from all the hacker/developer people that would jump on a device like that.

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.

Coming from a Dx, the tbolt has a TON of developer support behind it, it's the main reason i went ahead and used my upgrade (and locking in unlimited 4g) instead of waiting on the dual cores.

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

[Q] G2x, SGSII or SGS4G?

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.

IF you decide to swap out I would forget about the g2x. Wife had it and it was just bad. I'm sure the us will get the sgs 2 but you may want to have a look at the Hercules that is coming as well.

Fire under our asses you do realize most of us have jobs and real lifes We do this as a hobby spend quite a few hours doing this and days and weeks if not longer and dont even get paid for it.. You want development At least its not a side kick they got one rom.
The other phones u speak of are international versions minus the gx2 which has a larger dev community.

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 am fascinated by the outsoutstanding work the developers have produced on this phone thus far. I've read every post and have not ever had one problem flashing anything. I for one am extremely grateful for, not only the work put in, but also the vast knowledge that has been posted. These have become a shortcuts or fast tracks for me in learning how to develop and helping me to avoid some pitfalls that these guys have so gratuitously posted huge street sighns for us to read. Thanks guys.

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.
This is probably a stupid question but would it be possible to buy a Canadian GSII and then unlock it and use it on T-Mobile in the US

I noticed the signature nut I wasn't sure what model number that was. And are there going to be GSII variations for each carrier?

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.

Best tablets for under 170?...

Im so tired of seeing so much ics everywhere except here i now have an ice cream headache (applause for my witty wordplay) so anywho..im about to order one of these tablets here http://android-sale.com/eken-a90-android-tablet-16gb.html
I dont feel like paying over 200$ so after my research,this is so far my best bet.comes with ics.theres already support for root and clockworkmod but virtually no custom roms yet..so if i get quiet on here soon youll know what i am up to
I posted this to merely get some opinions on this tablet,if anyone has used,owned,or knows someone who has one let me hear some feedback (i trust you guys more than those generic ratings i see on the websites that sell them) also if anyone knows of a better tablet i should get for same price range.i am all ears.
Thanks. - ryan

I've never owned a tablet, but that seems like pretty good specs for being so cheap. great price. I don't know what the Atrix 2 community is gonna do without you though

thanks for your words,i dont plan on leaving here at all. might take a leap of Absence after scv6 is released soon. after that ill be waiting till the ICS comes to our phones and then goto town on it. theres just not much left that i'd like to do for gingerbread, i mean theres some unique xml work that i would love to be doing but takes time,and now that the babysitter has flaked out for good im left watching the two youngens a lot more than before so my time is limited now.

True, with a locked bootloader, we are so limited. Kernels can make quite the performance difference. my hope is that as ics nears we can pull it with an unlocked bootloader from cheesecake. I am thinking of trying to make an app to automate the process even more. I sent phydo a PM asking if he would share the source code, so I can take a look at what he's done.
The other problem is we have so few devs for our phone. I'm not all that great myself and basically it is you, Jim, JRW28, and a few others. other phones have a ton of people working on stuff.

Yeah.as for me i spent 10 hours a day for a month learning how to develop.i was steady making progress untill i lost the babysitter,now im watching my girls kids.now i barely have time to focus and actually make the progress i want to to bring anything innovative to the table .because theres a lot more to know.i still consider myself an amateur dev.

@lkrasner Well, technically don't we have an unlocked bootloader, or at least a bypass from kexec? From my understanding we just don't have a kernel to put on it yet.
@rdavisct Does the tablet have a capacitive touch screen or a resistive? I know a friend who bought a tablet that looked really good for the money (two cameras, 1.5Ghz processer, microSD expansion etc.) but he got really pissed of when he got it and discovered it had a resistive touch screen.

True, but kernels are immensely complex. I wouldn't mind if he takes a couple months if the product is stable and bug free, rather than him forcing it out early with tons of bugs.

@krasner ..youre learning! ;-D
@farshad ..yes its 5 point capacitive,1.5ghz single core,1gm ram,16gb internal storage with sd expansio upto 32gn. Hdmi out and loaded with ics. And. 9.5 inch screen.One HELL of a nice package IMO.
Ive been searching for days.only thing close to these specs is the novo 7 elf 2 and novo 7 aurora ..but those both only come with 8gb internal storage,1.2ghz,and 7 inch screen. So i think i found the winner by far.

I know you said you don't feel like paying over 200, but you can get a used xoom off of ebay for very close to 200.
I have a xoom, the one with a 3g/4g radio, and I have hacked it and flashed it to work with an AT&T radio. I have been running ICS on mine for some time now, and I LOVE this thing! When I bought it in March last year, I liked it so, that is why I got the Atrix2.
The Xoom is just that bad assed, if you can spend just a small amount more you can get a used one. I just checked ebay and saw a bunch in about the 200ish range, that lowest was 211, but I am sure if you pay some attention you can snag one for a great price.
Or may be you can try HP touchpad

Farewell blaze owners, its been a good ride!

I sadly am leaving the blaze community and upgrading to my sisters t989 and giving my blaze to my dad (sis got a s4, and dads phone broke last week, it will be his first smart phone). So, does anyone Know of any good T989 Roms with mhl support? I am a large fan of PA BTW so if there are mhl pa Roms, I'll be in heaven!

Thanks! Sorry about the late reply, been busy watching my nephew xD. Turns out, only 4.1.2 Roms on the t989 have mhl D: it's also a bit harder to keep up with stuff in their(mine too now I guess lol) forum since I have been in the blaze forum since before it existed and have read 95 percent of them. There... Oi vey. I have much to read. Also saddening, no Ubuntu touch port or multibooting. And this phone doesn't over clock as well as my blaze (18xx OC stable, minor UV for the blaze, 16xx OC on the s2, base voltage, and even that is buggy at times).

My gf and I will sadly be leaving the Blaze community and joining the LG G2 forums on Tuesday
We hit the end of our contract and lowered our bill about 40 bucks so I decided to join the jump program and get some new phones. The G2 was hard to get, you can only get it on the web atm through Tmo, the reps are still clueless. Kinda sad as the G2 only has root and not even a custom ROM yet for Tmo. I remember when the Blaze forum first started and getting excited about just a debloated stock rom and even the first kernel! Now hopefully work can start moving on the Tmo version of the G2 as people start getting them. Been a great ride everyone, way more fun than my previous MyTouch 4G group

Well we saved about 40 bucks by switching plans (we were on contract until now) then the phones were $21 a month so our bill went back up to where it was, then we added jump which increased our bill $20 but now we both have insurance. The phones were only $99 down and about $45ish for tax. GREAT deal imo. Its kinda fun to start over again but dev work is slow for the Tmo version as not many people have them yet. I have already started printing a 3D case with someone, it should be done soon. Now we just need some CWM and we are set to go
Count me into this farewell group, once my nexus 5 arrives next week I will no longer be using my good ole blaze anymore. Big thanks to all the devs who made this device so much more than just bearable!
