I am new to Samsung, I came from an HTC phone. Over on the EVO3d there was tons of roms and themes second bootloader was unlocked. Was just wondering how it is on this side. I miss flashing things lol.

It seems like that, but in reality the phone was out for a month almost before it was unlocked. The devs had plenty of time to play with the contents of the phone.
This phone has been out like a week.
Woaah buddy, gotta be careful with what you say here.
Anyways, I came from the HTC evo 4g community which has been around a lot longer than this one. But still, it took a month or two to get things going.
I mean the 3D just got root like a month ago. I think progress here is going swimmingly. Just give a few more weeks.
We probably wont have the sheer quantity u are used to, but i assure you we will have plenty of high quality roms and themes.
I wasn't being negative. Was just wondering what developers are on this phone and what kind Samsung has. What I mean by not much of community is not many roms yet. If anyone thought I meant disrespect I'm sorry.

Well cyanogen now works for Samsung so what does that tell you about who Samsung has? ;-) I think Samsung is trying to turn its rep around.
I also came from the evo 3d and am very happy with the switch. Sure the evo 3d has a lot of roms but a lot of them are the same ****.. and there aren't too many "real" devs on the evo 3d.. a majority of them are just cooks who ran the stock rom through a kitchen just adding tweaks. Hell empire who clams to be a dev didn't write a single line of code. Just mashed up other peoples work

It SHOULD be stressed that only the founder Steve Kondik was hired, NOT Cyanogen as a whole. The team continues on, business as usual. Just to clarify
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's only been a week. I would rather have the devs take their time and release something solid and better than a themed stock ROM but that takes time... especially if it's thoroughly tested. It seems like a new trend to release ROMs with a few hours of testing so little things pop up like an apk missing or a function force closes. I will try ptfdmedic's ROM when it releases because I know his work from using it on my Epic. I am sure the devs are in the lab building masterpieces as we speak.

It'll take a bit but I'm certain we'll see increased activity soon.
First, based on comments, a good many probably just got their phones if they ordered from 3rd party vendors. Especially Let's Talk.
Secondly, the transition may take some getting used to. Going from OG Evo to 3D was primarily the same software. In fact, many probably worked with it with their OG Evo before they got the 3D. So now they have to "get to know" Touch Wiz, Odin, etc.

Basically FOLLOW DIRECTIONS PERFECTLY, and everything will be fine.
I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right forum and I'm sure if I'm not then I will get flamed/moved to the correct spot and hopefully not lifetime banned.
That being said, I know Tmonews recently announced that our phone will be getting wifi calling on or around November 13th. Thats a long way away. I do not get service in my house OR at work. So effectively until I get some form of wifi calling my phone is useless for anything more than web surfing.
My question is, now that we have root (THANK YOU EVERYONE BTW FOR THAT!!) is there some way to develop a wifi calling app with T-Mobile giving it to us? I really hope the answer is yes as a month and a half without phone service will be slow torture.
Thanks for the anticipated help!!
I understand your pain I'm in a similar situation.. that being said you shouldntve posted in Dev section..
I don't think anyone has found a working wifi calling apk with our device yet but other voip apps are available but may not use your tmobile #

I had a feeling I was posting in the wrong spot. I've been a lurker on these forums for a while but I was always nervous to post because I'm not really a fan of flames. I realized just about as I hit post that there is a Q & A section and thats where I should have posted.
So, I apologize profusely to the Dev community. I meant no offense. If a mod could move this post, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for all the hard work guys and sorry again for posting in the wrong spot.
If you're ever worried about
your post being in the wrong section, err on the side of safety and post in general.
as for wifi calling you are a but sol sally.usually this requires pinch of more than an app and since it is coming natively the Dev community really has no reason to waste time. Best luck mate.

From what I remember, the wifi calling app requires some stuff based in the kernel. I haven't personally tried it, but I'm assuming those lines of code aren't there yet.
At least that's what I can remember from my nexus one days...
wifi Nov 13th?
According to Tmonews.com, the update to get Wifi calling will be available Nov 13th.

At least few of us didn't know about it till now. Some good came out of this post.
Another tip. When you are in your log you can hold and slide to the right to call someone and to the left to text them. This saves a couple clicks and is pretty cool. I believe you can also call from the texting app by sliding to tthe right too.

This and the slide to call or text from log or messaging are the 2 biggest things I wish were in CM7 and CM9. I use both features all day, every day. Gotta give Sammy some credit there.

I liked this feature so much when I had an Epic 4G that I wrote code for Cyanogenmod 7 to implement it there.
To all those that complained about Op posting his find, please try to remember when you were a nooB. It's not like this feature is posted on a Wiki or anything for everyone to browse.

Old Epic had it too.
Thanx for this tip though,because its little different than it was on old epic.I tried it on my new epic touch and it didnt work,i thought why would samsung take away such useful feature?But they didnt-they just made it different.
On old epic you could just slide your finger across top bar.But on epic touch you have to hold your finger on top bar for about a second before sliding.Its a little harder than it was before but prevents acidental setting.

Jw if anybody knows of a newer apps that has scrollable wallpapers but as in a different picture for each screen. Since EL29 took that out for example multipicture live wallpaper no longer works. I know some roms have fixed it but I just had to get my previous phone replaced which was rooted but Im not gonna root this one just yet I might as well wait for the ICS update whenever that is lol.

Hey I'm about to start a Sense 4.1 port and I was looking for some help. I know the sense 4 all people tried but i refuse to believe that it's impossible to port to the GS3. I've sent some PM's out to some respected developers but nobody has responded. I understand the basics but need more knowledge. So if you feel like contributing then by all means please do so. If you aren't a Sense fan but still understand how, your help is welcomed too. Just no negative people saying stuff like "why would you want Sense on this phone.You should have bought the Evo." Just trying to give back to the community. Thanks on advance

Demand
I know there is a demand for it and our phones are more than capable of handling it. Ive seen it ported to lesser devices so Im amped to get this started. I just need someone with a little more knowledge about porting to chime in. I think my main issue that i dont understand is getting the kernel set up to work on our devices. Spread the word lets see if we can get this development going
There was a tread started before and closed because people was not helping and acting childish, the people that was working on it said the hell with it. They had a decent port it had problems but hell it worked. Good luck but people always flood these threads with stupid questions like why don't you just get a htc phone or use a different launcher .

Maybe you should get in touch with the guys that have already started that port project. Not sure what kind of trouble they ran into but their work might provide a nice heads start for you. Just be sure and give them some credit. I personally would love to see a Sense port not because I necessarily like sense but this is XDA and this is what we do! Good luck with this!
+1 on the Sense port, sense has a better integration with android than TW does. Though TW is good in its own way...
get in touch with the team developing the initial port, their major problem was that they didnt have a sprint GS3 to test directly.
That's a great idea you guys. I'll shoot them a PM so we can get this ball rolling.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help. I know java / android programming, but have never messed with ROMs and such.
However I'd love this and if there is anything sort of simple that you would rather have someone else do, send it my way.
Also would probably donate for a working ROM! I love sense!
I know nothing about developing, but will test and give feedback.
