The difference so far has been beyond night and day.
This thing is still very cherry.
I am avoiding adding anything to it right now as I have previously posted that Tilt2 may be a dog.
Kind of thinking I was right.
I will be trying patiently, for a little bit, before I add many programs to it.
The performance within a few minutes of using has been astounding.
Also some interesting, unexpected surprises.
Any and all questions will be accepted.
WOW

I'm curious to hear any specifics on how the behavior of the new one is noticibly different than that of the first one you had...I'm particularly looking for connections/exclusions related to hardware and specific issues.
I'm assuming that your replacement came from the same path/source as the original one? What did you tell them to get them to give you a replacement unit? AT&T branded store, or reseller?
Thanks man, mostly just my hyperactive curiousity asking

Original purchased through WalMart Lets Talk on Black Friday. (free). hmm..
Equipment failed several times variously along voice audio path.
Replacement from ATT Ft. Worth TX
This thing is still very cherry. Only a couple hours usage.
Have only added MyPhone and contacts from MyPhone Backup.
Opera 9.5 experience has been unusual to me in that it recognized my email profile without any input from me other than inserting sim card and opening Opera 9.5 and selecting mail from ATT Yahoo default web page.
All browsing within Yahoo mail has been very quick.
Not my prior experience, which was very slow to refresh/update.

I was just trying to figure out which of the issues you originally had could be attributed to hardware pretty much...but between those, the sound problem you just mentioned, and your considerably improved experience with the new one, it's clear you just had a bum unit all around. Thanks for the feedback though

Cherry is a fruit, quite delicious to taste, spoils quickly, if not gathered and consumed soon.
Meaning that no software other than default is installed.
Default test module or whatever you want to call it.
Out of the box unmodified other to install MyPhone so I could make some calls.
In the American English idiom, untouched. Virgin.
Working very well.
Windows Mobile ATT most recent stock ROM as far as I can tell.
If you have a question about operation or state of ROM, please ask.
As the cherry my offer won't last long.
Did you read the beginning of the post?
(I can see why some of you older guys get tired with us cherries, we don't last long)

took me 7-8 hours to root the samsung moment once we got a copy of the leaked android 2.1....this phone is setup completely different and i dont physically have it to test anything.
im doing some research and hope to figure out a solution, but it'll be hard for me to test it for sure.
if anybody else has some insight with previous HTC and android experience, that'd be great to hear some other opinions?!
or maybe an HTC phone with similar file system structure which was rooted?
joey do u plan on getting this phone? i had a moment but was lucky enough to get the evo off someone that went to i/o.....it would be awesome to have your kernels working on this bad boy!!!

ah dont even worry about the onscreen keyboard it takes a second to get used to it. that was the reason why i picked the moment over the hero but i still found myself using swype lol. as of now im just using the htc keyboard and its pretty slick so far just have to train the dictionary.
i work for sprint, my indirect rep came in with his evo the other day and so i installed swype 1.25 on it. FREAKIN. AWESOME. also, MAD props to joeykrim. i have the moment and he has done SO many wonderful things with it. but it looks like im going to htc...
EDIT: joey, i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see you move to the evo and see what that genius brain can cook up. if you ever need a tester, im all over it. been with you on sdx since the days you and speedrabbit were bustin down and fixing 1.5.
IM getting the EVO day of release and maybe another for testing. Let me know when you want to get this thing a try. i just hope it doesn't brick XD
knowing joeykrim, once he gets his grubby hands on an Evo - it'll be rooted there soon after.
glad to see some familiar names over here guys...
Looks like the question has just about been answered :>

Yeah but in case you guys haven't heard the shipped 2.1 rom you guys get may not be final. Sprint could easily push an update to close off root. Just look in the hero section, the final 2.1 RUU is still not able to be rooted by our best devs. Im not trying to worry anybody but it is a possibility.
I wanted to buy Roam Control, but google pulled it from the market
I went to the Roam Control Website, and dl'ed the apk from the link the Dev provided, but it prompted for a license, and when I selected the "buy" option, it reported app not found, and I was unable to buy it
Any ideas on how to get this app bought and working?
Dev's note from website:
NOTE (11/29/2011): I received an email today from Google indicating that Roam Control was removed/suspended from the market. I did not receive any explanation, other than it was "due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy." I'm working on getting the app restored, however I've come to understand that Google is incredibly unresponsive in these situations. If I cannot reinstate the app, I will certainly make it available in some other fashion. To those who have already purchased the app, I certainly do not expect anyone to pay for it a second time. As a temporary measure, the latest version of the app can be downloaded here.

The only app I ever bought and the reason I rooted. I hope it survives the transition I need to make to GB.
I put two new versions of Roam Control in the market...one free version that will work for users that previously purchased, and one new paid version. See here for details:

Very cool, thank you for this. I have to use this when I'm at the in-laws place or I'm hosed. Any chance there is anything new in the city of Chicago? I haven't tried this lately, but I frequent a place near O'Hare and Sprint doesn't get good reception inside the building. I would LOVE to be able to roam on VZW while here, but I know there was a note before that we can't roam in Chicago.

And roam control is gone again??

The developer says it got pulled again and that he's looking into alternative distribution methods. He has the .apks up for people who bought it in the market now.
At this point I would paypal him $5 for the app and license!!

Looking for the legit version. Bookmarking this page in hopes that someone or the dev comes up with a solution soon! Have my 11115 prl but it feels worthless without roam control...
I would share mine as I never use it... but its a paid app and that is frowned upon here... me and my wife both use the same apk though.. I bluetoothed the apk to her phone and it works fine for both of us...

I would like to have something working for now since it is not available for purchase at this point. I am really hurting without it. When im at work my signal is very bad to the point that i miss phone calls and texts come late. I could force roam and be able to have my signal back... If the dev does not want the app distributed at this point (while its not on the market) i guess i will have to respect that. It is his work afterall. I am hoping the dev can straighten this out soon or give us an answer. I am in great need of it.
You can download from the post above my last post and when the dev figures out when and where you can uninstall and buy the paid app. That's what I'm doing.

Thank you for the response. I read somewhere that the apps on there sometimes have undesired things packed into them (ie viruses, malware)... Do you have to download the applanet app to download from there? When i tried to view the site, it kept trying to download an applanet.apk... Seems fishy to me...
I 've seen that the stock browser between 4.0.2/4.0.3 has become a lot better.
All the changelogs(4.0.4) say that stock browser has become "noticeably faster". But I haven't quite get if this is against 4.0.2(which was the last official release) or 4.0.3.
P.S. Can anyone extract the apk and post it or link to it? Because I heard that if you install the new gapps you have to wipe fully. I am not asking for something against the rules...right?
Just download the Gapp and extract the browser from there.
I thought about that but I am too noob to believe it is so easy!
Let's see
I extracted the browser for you.

Google should've really launched the phone with 4.0.4. As everyone knows, first impressions are key. I knew the Gnex would only get better but most reviewers were so harsh.

You are certainly right. But GN is a developer's phone. And carriers tend to have allergies to easy-to-unlock phones so they don't care anyway. And the actual clients(unfortunately) are the carriers, not us. That's why nexus phones never sell, as they should anyway. Take for example Nexus one which was a lot ahead of its time.
At least when ICS comes formally to Razr and SGS2, it is going to be awesome for the users. And then there will be the SGS3 with a very mature ICS.

My GSM was just fine out of the box back in November, sure the battery life wasn't as good as it now but more than enough to get thru a day of heavy use. I really had no complaints as it was. Maybe my memory is just bad though, what was so wrong with it at release?
Can this be installed on CM9 for Galaxy S II I'm asking due to different resolution. Or it doesn't even matter?

Don't want to screw the app. I'm asking some with experience form other ROMs. Not if he has already done it.
We've seen lots of complaining in the last couple of days about what is and isn't working in these ports.
It seems GPS may or may not be working correctly, that it may or may not be due to the Leap Second.
WiFi, Bluetooth, volume... if you have these issues, they can mostly be remedied. If not, gratz.
The fact is, these Roms are ports of development previews on a phone slightly but importantly different than yours running an OS that hasn't been released yet.
I was deeply amazed and impressed that some developers had working ports to CDMA the very night it was announced for GSM.
I'd you are running one of these JB ports and you find that it works well enough as a daily driver, consider yourself fortunate and hit the thanks button on the OP, maybe even donate.
If you are trying it out, but find that it lacks the stability or functionality that you require, click the thanks button on the OP anyway because they spent the time to give you something now for free that which you would otherwise have to wait weeks for, or, considering VZW's track record, maybe never.
This is how I'm looking at it- I'm getting to preview the latest update for free before it officially comes available. Just like those lucky bastards at Google I/O, except how much did they pay per ticket?
Thanks, devs, for doing what you do.

They paid $900 per ticket. But they get $1200 or so free of stuff. So they actually received 300 for going to it if you look at it that way.
Nevertheless I'm very pleased with JB. Everything is working beautiful for me. I using daily driver now without any issues. Just the stock JB at that. I'm not much for all the features of Roms. More into kernel tweaks which I do miss from glados kernel. But Franco is doing fine for now.

Thats why I put going to Google IO one year at least on my bucket list.
i think people are forgetting these roms are from nandroids! lol!
I most definitely appreciate the efforts. I ran the Vicious JB stock port on my VZW Gnex but in the end, I couldn't stick with it because the Verizon framework apps don't work on Jelly Bean yet. This means I couldn't use the My Verizon or NFL Mobile apps, and that's a deal breaker. I understand that you can blame Verizon for requiring the back end framework in order for their branded apps to work, and that's all fine and well, but at the end of the day, I couldn't run them.
Be that as it is, I still appreciate the efforts of those developers to have a working CDMA port the same night. Thanks to all who do what you do. I'm a software developer myself so I know how tedious this crap can be.
Half of the JB "hate" posts are not "my app doesn't work, JB sucks!" but rather "my app doesn't work, I'm posting it in case someone has stumbled upon a fix"
The problem is 80% of the people who own a GN are:
a. Bronies (so they're inherently tools),
b. it's their first Android device (so they're inherently tools).

That sort of depends. There are some changes that have to be made to a ROM for the GSM model to be 'ported' to the CDMA models. So, it's a 'port' for those phones, because only the GSM developer preview was 'released'.
They do realize other top phones are just getting ice cream sandwich, and we Nexii already have Jelly Beans sweet taste in our mouths?? Ridiculous!
