Develop Bugs

[Q] FOR DEVS ONLY: Which way are you headed?!

So, as we approach the fork on the road, one leading towards the EVO 3D and the other towards the Samsung Galaxy SII, many users are left waiting to see which one of these beasts will pick up more development heat. Like myself, many folks are completely split and are solely depending on this little bit of information.
Therefore, I ask, out of developers that have made the EVO the great device that it is, where are you headed?
I KNOW THIS THREAD MIGHT BE UNCONVENTIONAL FOR THIS SECTION OF THE FORUMS, BUT PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING IT HERE AS IT WILL BE EASIER IN GETTING THE ATTENTION OF DEVELOPERS OVER REGULAR USERS. THANKS!

Yeah just read an article today about the 3d apparently having a crypto signed bootloader. Not much developing going on with that... Without an eng leak anyhow...turned me off of it for a bit. Not that I'm a dev, I consider myself a themer really.

I hope they are heading to a place where people don't post questions in the Development section like the rules in the sticky state.

Check out htc facebook page today, it may give you a clue...

lol you guys are so scared of an MD5 encrypted bootloader...
oh wait... yea me too
it WILL be cracked, im sure there'll be some sort of algorithm to counteract it. if not, after 1 year, HTC is forced to release everything

Anxious to see responses from Netarchy, Vaelek, cyanogen, Toast, Flipz, Shinzul... etc.

So is everyone that voted thus far really a "developer?" On another note, CM would likely be developed on both if a) the HTC bootloader is cracked, b) the GS2 isn't the same POS the GS1 is.

I am interested in the results of this poll as well.

Obviously not, but you know, there are always those %&$* out there. (BTW, the votes are public, so you can see where those that matter are leaning towards.)
I just figured some of the true developers will see this and guide us in a particular direction. Don't blame me for trying.

I will be getting a EVO 3D without a doubt. Bootloaders can be cracked. Might have to buy XTC to see if we can root that way. It's like the gold card method. Either way, the EVO 3D will be a mind blower and WILL be rooted.

I am going to get one also. I know the devs will have it cracked in days if not hours.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I am getting the 3D regardless of when it'll be rooted. I am currently running stock on my OG EVO anyway. I am sure it wont hurt to go without root for a little while and have a far superior phone than the samjunk.

I'm not a dev yet, but I think if I gave myself some time I could do it. I already mod ROM's to my liking and I am a programmer. But college life usually gets to me lol I was thinking sometime this Summer to cook my own ROM up; if time permitted. If that happens then I will dev for the Evo 4G.
Unless I get some extra grant money lol then I'm not sure! A cell phone to dev is a college expense if you're a Computer Science major right

It's sad that the mods are on such a witch hunt that you even have to put that there. IMHO this is *exactly* the type of post that should be in the /dev section... along with 10-20 other daily posts that are direct questions to/for developers.

stop spamming the inc2 community, please.

Android godfather? The Droid Incredible 2 is my first smartphone and I have barely asked questions. It's not rocket science to figure out how a phone works and using search function to find answers which have been most likely answers several times. And I also wonder why every fascinated user announces that too.

Instead of giving guidance to the users who may not understand you guys band together to sort of outcast the other user as if you know more than them or look down on them...

Is that supposed to be a statement? We are douches because we are tired of the general section being cluttered with the same question over and over?
Positive direction was given. Search the forum before posting a question. If you ask a question that has obviously been answered then expect to get harsh answers.

I see what you're saying but the minute you apply leniency to new users is when someone else will take advantage of it and since its a new phone, there will be a lot more newbies with the same question...i really don't know why I'm still typing. Its not a big deal to search even for new people. Would be nice to have a sticky with that...would be nice if I shat gold too but we don't always get things we want. Oh well..

Your logic is flawed.
New users should NOT announce their arrival because it just clutters up the forum and causes it to become a giant clusterf**k. Rather, they should learn to read existing posts and stickies so they can learn the ins and outs of their phone without having to ask the same question that was asked a hundred times before.
I've been on XDA for the past year and I don't have more than 15 posts because I don't post every inane question or comment. Rather, if I have an issue or question, I search, but usually I won't have to because I've done most the reading already so I know what to expect.
Also, like someone else mentioned earlier, we don't care that you got this phone unless you are a developer. Stop being so narcissistic.

[Q] Becoming a moderator?

I hope that is the case, if labled with the right tag, we will only need to focus on that when looking at topics. I for one want to focus on all Sprint related topics/questions first, and if I have time help the rest of the SGS3 owners. But Id like to be closer friends with the people that are on the same carrier as me... No offence

Don't forget ...
Don't forget (Americans often do) that there's also Rogers, Bell, and Telus, not to mention a few more in Canada.
Rogers, Bell and Telus use the AT&T I747. I'm not sure about Virgin, Mobilicity, etc.
Peter
Addendum: I really should say that Rogers, Bell and Telus use the I747, which AT&T also uses. I really don't like saying it's an AT&T I747, because it's not.
Personally, I will try and use [I747] on all my posts.

There's advantages to both ways. But I'm not sure that the average user base will be able to take advantage of this setup and NOT cause a cluster#$%@. Not to mention the tendency to repeat previously asked questions... with four times as many carriers.

Exactly, this could get bad fast, and I see even more MOD attention would be needed, idk, maybe we are wrong and this will all work out for the best.

XDA is about hacking devices, not discussing carriers. Don't forget that.
Go to a carrier-related forum if you want that.
I, for one, see this as a good change. Speaking as an engineer/developer.
Already we have 2 Off-Topic threads discussing this change. Don't complain about off-topic threads when you post in them.

This is good for me, since I'm kinda sad that I'm leaving my OG Epic bretheren from sprint to head to Bid Red..

Not really a good change, a step in the right direction, yes. But I for one only want to see Sprint related general/off topic posts when I come into the SGS3 general forum. That's why I ask for the tags. I mean that is a system in its self that needs to be used here ( I would love to see that happen). I'm just saying that makes it so much easier when scanning, and when you don't want to have to subscribe to all the Sprint related topics just to keep up with what your trying to focus on is ridiculous if you ask me.

Okay, so other than:

3. *****ing about bundled apps.
4. *****ing about insurance/TEP.
What else possibly belongs in the General section that's Sprint-specific?
XDA has an off-topic section. Go there if you want to talk about whatever. It's about time these forums get back to device/development. This place has been taken over by whiny 14 year olds for too long.

Tho we wouldn't have to if we had separate forums. I know in the past there were several that would cross platforms from international version to US versions and that was great, but I think it's a bit confusing to do it like this and if you're going to label every thread with a carrier anyway, why not just have it's own forum??

It is what it is I guess.
Hey the other day I seen this phone at a Sprint store, some girl offered me a favor for a look at my SGS3 PB 32gb Sprint version, I said I didn't have it yet, but soon I will be able to flash it for that favor you offered

If a thread is locked trust me it's all for a good reason. The moderators have experience and can tell when a thread will turn bad, thus they will lock it or simply clean it if possible.

They lock goodbye threads cuz they are nothing but clutter. No one wants to scroll thru a dozen or more goodbye threads just to get to the actual general section. This one will probably be stickied like the other official goodbye threads in the other device forums. I've moved on to the sgs3 but still pop over here to see what's going on, my wife will be getting my sgs2 at the end of the month but she's not a phone nerd lol. She's got a photon for now which will replace my og evo when the new digitizer gets here for the photon. Then next month ill be off to the note 2 waiting for the price to come down a bit and my upgrade isn't ready til Dec 1.

Actually its not, about 15 or so were locked before yours they've been locking them since forever, along with best rom threads. If you scroll down the general list/click thru the pages you'll find a bunch of locked goodbye/best rom threads. They lock them on all device forums, and have now started creating and stickying official goodbye threads so ppl can post their peace without clogging up the whole forum, if everyone created a goodbye thread there would be so many of them no one would be able to find anything between them all.
