Milestone 2 Section

Hello
im wondering if the milestone 2 will get it's own section here on XDA once it's out The droid 2 has gotten it's and i was hoping the milestone will to but please don't put them together again like with droid1 and milestone1 because it will get extremly confusing plus there are already roms out for the Droid 2
Thanks
Also post if you also would likie to see a Milesonte 2 section
Probably. Just wait for it to come out.

+1. Would be especially confusing for noobs like me if the Droid 2 & Milestone 2 sections were mixed up.
On that same note can we get under the Droid 2 section the Droid 2 Global to be added as it is the same as the droid 2(or Milestone 2 however you look at it) but adds tri-band 3G GSM capabilities, a faster clocked cpu by default. All you need is a separate sub-section under the rom development area. Same thing with the Milestone just a sub-section is need under the rom area.
So are we getting this Milestone 2 dedicated Forum, Sub-section, something ?????

Welcome ! If you want a rom with a lot of custom mods , go with AOKP build 30. Its in the development thread . I'm glad you liked your Gnex, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

All the evos! Dang how many did they produce? You must have millions!
Seriously though, I really like the AOKP Builds. Build 30 just released and its based on the newest release 4.0.4. AOKP also has a ton of extra features!

Yeah finally android is trying to be smooth UI with the nexus like the iPhone UI. For roms aokp is pretty much the way to go. At least that's where to start, then move on from there should you chose to do so.
Well actually I had 5 OG Evos and 3 E3D's

I'm in the same boat as you except I got my nexus 5 days ago and I've already starting creating my own ROMs and hacks. I forgot how great android was.

Why are there no Sense roms?

I'm surprised no one has made any sense roms for the Gnex yet. Is it not as simple as porting over a different phone's rom and adding the on-screen keys?

1) its not that easy to port stuff over
2) most people who bought the Nexus do not like sense

theres a lot of framework needed for Sense, and it runs deep. If you've had an HTC phone like the Rezound u see how it's impossible to totally strip Sense down to aosp, and vice versa. Since its not supported by HTC, someone would have to basically do it from scratch, I don't think most devs find it worth the time/effort to try it. I did however see Paullie Vicious start work on one a few months ago, but nothing really came of it
We have nexus cuz most of us do not like sense. Plus its too bloated

Seems like no one is doing much for the nexus. I came from og evo and they ported every phone to it. Nexus seems dead.

Why? Because everything is vanilla android? That is the whole point of the nexus. Nobody bought the nexus because they wanted sense ports... they bought it for the clean android android experience.

I don't know.. I didn't buy the nexus for a aosp experience.
I didn't buy it for sense either.
Now I have a droid incredible I've used sense, but with the amount if memory sense would be great for this phone. I do kinda hate limited by aosp only.. it would be nice to have variety honestly.
There really isn't a reason to have 50+ Roms running around when most include all the same features and optimizations.

You guys answering the OP's question arnt helpful at all.:sly:
OK so there is two ports happening and are in progress and just going into work.
There is a Sense 4.0 port by Nello92 & a team. He has been working on the SOB since the release of the Sense 4.0(March) now u probably wonder, "March??? WTF is taking so long!?!??!"
Well there are 3 things stopping him & the team.
1. SD doesn't work properly.
2. He has a life he needs to live so he does this on his free time
3. He is making this almost from scratch ( using a Nexus S port as base)
Now there is a Sense 3.6 port that has just started(no thread yet) because everyone says they've given up since no one has the answer tot he SD issue.
Nello92 is a stubborn SOB and believes(HELL TO THE YEAHYE!!!) it is possible to fix SD.
So in his eyes, development will continue.
Sense 3.6 is a new concept, so keep your eyes peeled for a thread.

Exactly what i want to say:highfive:
Hahahahaha. Uh no not everyone. People bought the Nexus because the Nexus is a device full of development.
Look at the N1. Continuing development like a BOSS.
People bought the Nexus FOR OPTIONS too. Not for only pure experience.

I know right??? I wanna try out Sense 4. The first Skinned Android ROM that caught my Eyes(& Motoblurr). Touchwiz can die IMO(not offending the Touchwiz lovers, I know u nex users are out there waiting for a proper port).
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Well I mean.. I did buy the nexus because its an upgrade worth getting. Can't technically say but in my eyes the pinnacle of the android devices, similar to the droid incredible. Even though the nexus relay doesn't have a lot of Roms. I guarantee it will go down in history as a great device like the incredible.
So I got this because I knew development was great, a lot of users jumped ship here from the incredible forum. It was free, specs are fantastic, the size fits my hand greatly. I did also buy it because it had jelly bean, well could get jelly bean.. and because I knew aosp is particularly fast. So in a sense yes I did kinda buy it for aosp but not in a literal sense.
I dunno.. I kinda wished there was some new type of OS I guess. You do get tired of the same stuff.
Touchwiz comes to mind..

Have no clue what your talking about.... you think people just hit buttons and stuff piles out? The only team I know of that have build bots is cyanogenmod and they work their asses off on everything. Everybody else doesn't have some machine that does **** for them. I dare you to say that to a true dev. And so what if the OP doesn't post in a month. He has other crap to deal with.

The answer given is probably correct though; not many gnex owners are interested in sense. Or touchwiz. Or some other bloated ui.
If you feel sense is that important to have, you kind of bought the wrong phone. A quick search would have shown there are no sense ROMs.

Dayuuuum!!!! This was a question on why there are no Sense Roms, and then this turned into an argument.

(Face palm) yes there is.
From my understanding its kinda in a broken state like the port for the incredible. And you have to re root unless its been fixed?
As for cyanogen mod.. I feel they've kinda been stunted. I've used their recent Roms and I'm not at all impressed.

We have perfectly stable JB on the Herc now and 4.2 is super close. That's about as "upgraded" as you can get at the moment. So what's your beef?

same reason why I never bothered posting there, prefer being a lurker than going in and posting the obvious.
edit: Funny part is, the person who started the thread doesnt even have the T-989 anymore so probably doesnt even care whether we get the source or not.
This thread just made me spill Dr.Pepper out my nose, oh this was funny as hell. All in all though @OP, Samsung has done their job. It's the carriers which are slow to get the update out to the users -- T-Mobile.
He honestly haven't been to the HTC amaze 4g forums.... they don't even have fully functionally jelly bean or ever will. Ungrateful.

Are you f!#=ing stupid? This phone is probably the only phone with the nicest developers that help you whenever they can. There has been a petition recently about us getting 4.2. We have the best responders, the best roms and the best developers. (Ptmr3, tmogalaxys2, android88 etc.) How dare you criticize this phone and how it is not upgraded.

Incredible 2, HTC Rhyme, Droid 3, or Droid X2?

Hi,
I'm looking for a 3G only phone for Page Plus and it seems like the Incredible 2, HTC Rhyme, Droid 3, and Droid X2 are the best choices.
From what I've read, only the Incredible 2 and HTC Rhyme will be getting ICS. If that is true, I'll probably get one of those. Anyone know when this will happen and whether it is true?
Which phone is better?
It's been a long road so far for us to get any update to ICS, and there haven't been any signs that we'll be getting it soon. The Thunderbolt did get it, which leaves some hope for the Inc2, but it isn't for sure. I don't know about the Rhyme having ICS. As for the other Droids I don't have any experience with them.
All that being said the Inc2 has a really good community so you can be sure that ICS/JB development will continue until the official update, at which point there will be CM10 and MIUI and ROMs you've never heard of. It sounds like... a dream..
