Where are all the devs?

Will this phone end up with terrible development such as with the original epic?

Probably not, these are new age modders who think just because they have a certain device it should come with all bells and whistles that take a good 6 months to develope. Did I mention they want it now!!!

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.

Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.

Yeah I think we just have to be patience

I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.

Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.

I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.

Where did u hear that from

Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

How the hell

Wow og epic gets cm9 alpha lol.
While we have better hardware all around and no ics leak or cm9 lol.
Samsung should support the flagship better . But i expect strange things from them as far as support. We wont get ics until gnec is released.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

The hardware makes no difference. The Devs on the OG Epic have been working on CM for over a year. Just be patient and we will have a port.
The problem is that people have hounded the devs and they got frustrated.

I didn't read much about it, but im pretty sure its a port and probably wont get an official ICS update. It has nothing to do with Samsung and their top tier phones.

The OG epic devs really worked hard to get to this point ... Im happy for them they really deserve it best community ever !
.... We'll get there soon Patience is the key look how long it took for things to pick up over there for example ...

How the hell...is there another thread about the Epic geting CM9 alpha? You know, it could be because the Epic has been out for a while now, it also could be that the Epic shares strong hardware similarities to the Nexus S which has a fully working ICS. Or...maybe it's because after so many months without CM and MIUI, the Epic owners don't complain about getting updates like the Epic Touch owners. Just my theories...

Some of the more impatient persons here have sent the devs into the shadows while they secretly work on this beast of a phone. I'm not 100% sure but I don't believe team rouge is some how involved... I'm of course just going off of my own gut feeling

HOLY ****
Seriously???
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

really guys stop making threads like this. This is the reason why we don't have ICS I'm patiently waiting for it too. But, you guys really???

Hey guys. Theres is an Awesome ICS rom being worked on (not me). the party involved in its creation is one of my favorite here on xda. I can 100% promise you that it does exist and that this phone is not being forgotten. Just keep on keepin on and pretty soon you will all be complaining about how many ICS roms there are in the Dev section :] .

I'm on an OG Epic running CM9 right now. The Epic devs are getting so far now because we have source. As soon as the devs over here get proper source and time, the sky is the limit. A dev over there has been working hard on switching the file system over to MTD and got it running just a few weeks ago. That is really a time consuming process. Just have patience.

Github source for SPH-L710!

Kernel source from Samsung?
Is the github kernel the same kernel that Samsung listed for the SPH-L710 on thier Open Source Release site?

Yes, it is. Its also up under the SGS3 orginization, just to keep everything together: https://github.com/sgs3/SPH-L710_Kernel

Can't wait for the devs to get their phones and see if we can combine all the US forums.

This is excellent news! The development on other phones I had was a bit slow because the source kernel was never posted by the manufacturer. Here Samsung posts the source before everyone even has the phone. This forum is going to explode.

Looking forward to good things here guys!.....THNX for posting this here noobnl!

Here we go, watch devs do their magic;-)

I wonder how many Evo 4G (OG) people are coming over to the S3.
I am still so in love with my phone, it will be hard to let it go, but I'm brining my sister over to Sprint, so she will take that and at least it will stay in the family.
Really hoping we get some top-quality devs like the EVO forums had. I really had a full assortment of ROM's of top quality to choose from.

It's been fun E4GT folks

Going to be changing over to either the S3 or EVO 4G LTE (still trying to make up my mind on the phones) My E4GT has been fun as has the community with some great devs from shabby, sb, chris41g, T.C.P. kbizzle and others working on the AOSP roms (I use AOSP dislike touchwiz based roms nothing against the devs they all do great work so much respect)

Wait what about the note 2...or black friday prices for the gs3/evo lte???

At the risk of hijacking your thread, can you tell me what it is about TW roms you don't like? I am not discounting your position but instead just don't see it. LOL I have been using Blu Kuban or Goodness or M'ICS forever and in between I play with CM9, CM10, PA, AOKP etc. To be honest I don't see what the differences are that people talk about.

ahhh why upgrade now when the next gen phones are surely around the corner!
I've had an upgrade for 5 months and just keep waiting for something truly more impressive.. (granted sgsiii is better and beautiful but not upgrade worthy IMHO)

The GS3, experience wise, will be far too much like our GS2's. Especially running TouchWiz. I need something NEW! Theres an upgrade on my account, so ill be picking up an iPhone 5 tonight. Depending on when Sprint gets the next Nexus, maybe ill sell it for $550 and buy it. Apples resell values are amazing.

I know I dont care bud.

Yeah I'm leaning on going Note 2 as well. I just put my GS2 on Craigslist with some great extras included I'm sure it will sell fast

I'm trying to leave as well but I can't sell my device because it's the second asurion replacement that I've gotten broken.
I'm hoping the next one I get actually works because I can't have them send me a gnex or anything, they'll only offer the Evo Design.
Yet they say they don't do upgrades or downgrades.

I dislike TouchWiz in general While I gave it a chance the first month of my phone I just really like/want AOSP. I don't see the need for ui skins over what is already a beautiful OS in my eyes. While I'm sure the roms are fine I stay away from TouchWiz based roms period does not matter how good they are it's just not me.

Cause my S2 is currently acting like a retard (hardware issues) I'm getting it replaced but I needed another phone since there are no in store replacement phones where I'm at right now. Also this was my first phone with Sprint so having a backup was always on my mind. As it is if/when the new Nexus device comes to Sprint I'll drop the cash and pick that up I will be rooting my S3 as it is so makes no difference to me.

Goodbye Sprint
I'm going to bump this thread, I just got fed up with Sprints crappy service and paying for slow or no 4G at all. My point for bumping this thread is to give thanks to the very talented devs producing ROM's and keeping the forum active.
Went to AT&T, signal is really good and 4G LTE is really spectacular.

Will there be a decent amount of community support?

Lately I've been noticing a lot of developers saying that they are going to quit developing for samsung due to the lack of support they are are offering to the community. Do you think this will affect the releases of ROMs or user fixes to the point of not being worth it to buy this device? Thanks.

The community will try to cook rom for all samsung devices, but when these are not very popular or will become old will be abandoned
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yes, i`am convinced it will be supported well. The GN2 will be even a bigger success as the GN1 i believe. Getting mine in 5 days

I think there will be some type of good support.. I mean it's still pretty early in the release... And I'd still buy it if it's not supported by a lot of roms.. Doesn't take away of how much of a beast the phone is

If anyone has the OG Note, even that device doesn't have amazing support. At least we have CM tho...of which I'm running PA 2.17 CM10. However, as long as the GN2 receives CM10, all will be fine. I'm torn with how I feel about CM possibly abandoning Sammy...the GN2 is really all about features, that's what makes it better. CM just neuters spen features anyways.
