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.

Don't start that flaming crap, just left the 3d and most of the threads are filled with flame this and flame that. Just sick of people talking **** because they don't approve of the location the op might have chose either on purpose or accident. Just saying that this forum is a nice change where you actually get help or learn something by reading the thread instead of following 9 million different arguments over bull.

I've Made this thread in par with the [Dev-only] ICS development only thread so that all questions,comments and or even THANKYOUS can be posted here. Please do try and keep this thread alive without any idiocy (spam). DO NOT post in the Dev thread u less u have actual development. It doesn't matter how argue-mental the post become as long as it still always is related to ICS. As long as everyone just stops making new threads about ICS.
You may spam ur ICS needs here. Enjoy.
I will update this op with any Information regarding our phone and ICS whenever it comes available.
Steady Hawkin said:
Alright guys, I should not even be saying anything but Im going to anyway. I know many of you are tired of waiting for ICS and feel like we are the odd man out while everyone else gets a taste of the glory. This is in fact not the case! I'm not going to name names, or comment on anything else, but I will say that development is VERY much alive for this phone. Its also allot closer than any of you think. Trust me, there is a very tallented group of people who are close to making this dream a reality.
Me making a comment in this thread does infact violate what this thread was intented to do and for that I'm sorry. My intention is just to inform you that we too shall taste sweet victory soon. My only request is that we move non-development related questions and comments to the Q&A or general subforum so we can keep this thread clean for future use. I look forward to basking in the sweet taste of a delicious sandwich with all of you very soon

As for you. Read my comment above Mr.negative. If ur running Cm7 or MIUI then u literally just hypocritically commented on yourself. (in a far fetched way) =P
Also there are plenty of good ROMs in the dev thread.

I don't necessarily understand it. I've used ics and it's pretty good, but the roms we currently have in the dev section are really awesome. Yeah, ics has some great tweaks that I look forward to coming to this device, but I'm pretty content and happy with the current roms and development we have. Thanks to all the devs!
I'm sure ICS will be here. No need to show negativity. Just have patience
Im sure they dont want to give us something half done. Wait till they have a stable build then they will drop it.
My guess now that chris41g will drop ics hes been aful quiet

I'm pretty sure they will release a ICS update for it. The community will more than likely release one first though.
Samsung will have one, but it will have TouchWiz. But a lot of us want either pure ICS or a CM9 build, ya know?

Best Devs and Themers bar none can be found right here.
As someone who has trouble holding onto a device for very long (as referenced by me many times already) I've since found a serious love for (addiction to?) custom ROMs and themes. And here at XDA there are so many to choose from that every time I flash a new one I feel like I have a whole new phone in my hand. Usually by now I'm beating back a major craving to buy a new device but for once, since my smartphone buying days started, I'm content with my phone and okay to wait and see what's next. (just hate hearing about it for months in advance lol)
I hope you know the tireless work you guys (gender non-specific) put into these ROMs/Themes does not go unappreciated. If I'd paid more attention to XDA in my OG EVO days I might've avoided the mistake that was EVO 3D and enjoyed my OG EVO until my upgrade (the E4GT) became available.
Major kudos to all of you and thank you, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Well said, my wife seen some of these roms and the themes that go with them then looked at her stock e4gt and finally told me to root and install blazer 4.1 ROM with ics sherbet theme. Now she has a new respect for xda and all the hard work these devs and themers put in for us all.

I feel ya. My girl just installed go launcher after three months and couldn't believe all the different things she could do. I know its bad of me to not mention it to her sooner but just like noobs in the forums, I knew I would be doing double time to help her. This way she moves into it at her own pace per se. I know I'm in for it when ICS is released. Even though it will have the same touchwiz feel, I can see that the reversed "ok" or "cancel" is gonna be enough to open a can. If you know what I mean. Lol.

Whitehawkx does not own a T989.
With JB, AOKP is starting fresh, building the code from the ground up. With no member on Team Kang owning a T989, our JB prospects looked dim. You can read what our future would have been like here.
A lot of people talked about doing something. A lot of people talked about donating to a pool for WHX to get another T989. One person did it. You can read about his decision here.
You can read about the result here.
Not only does this radically affect AOKP, this also affects CM and other AOSP variations. All the teams collaborate together on this.
In the end, this isn't about bringing a new version of software to our phones so it can do 1001 things instead of 1000. It's about giving and giving back. Jangst123 and WHX have given to us. Let's give back. Round of applause for these two and every other dev and good person on these forums. It's not all bad
Depends on who it is. Someone that isn't a dev?
Hell No.
Whitehawk?
Honestly, no since I wouldn't have a phone to use if I did.
I'd toss a few bucks into the pool to get him one.
I think we had something going with the donation pool and for jangst123, to step up he deserves some compensation. Then again, I know he did NOT do it for the money. He did it for epicness!
The AOKP decision wasn't a surprise with milestone 6+. I honestly don't know why they would even carry devices they don't have to troubleshooting. It's just common sense to me.
Great to hear. White is a great Dev and will do something awesome, I'm sure of it.
