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!

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.

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)

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 ****

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.

Just curious to see who we will have left in our community after the SIII comes out. Over the past few months of being on XDA, I've always read that people will move on to the SIII. I know that Mijjah for one said that he's moving on. Obviously I know that not everyone is upgrading - the title was just to get people to post . Hopefully enough people will post so that we can create a list of developers who will still be active in our community.
List (tentative) of developers who may be staying:
1. sfhub
2. Rujelus22
3. VeNuM
4. Kbizzle (for now)
not sure about the devs but I'm pre ordering 2 of them. But I'm also keeping my GS2 as well. I've already got the GNexus on Sprint as well just adding in 2 more lines keeping one of them for myself my lady is getting the second one.

If I recall correctly (and I truly, truly hope that I am wrong) Calkulin has mentioned he might be switching not only phones, but carriers as well, and that would be a tremendous loss for our community. So here's hoping he stays!
But on the bright side, the CM9 team is bringing more developers here, most recently noobnl, so I doubt that all of them will leave.
Not that I am a dev or anything but I am staying. But thats because I am to broke to switch to the galaxy siii haha. I am sticking to my $25 a month Virgin mobile plan even though I would love to switch to the galaxy siii with straight talk.
That being said I that lots of devs stary for a while longer to help keep this phone alive! Especially since we are so close to the ICS ota & source.
Haha, add me to the list of those sticking with the ET4G. Just another guy ready to put his phone on the line for the devs~
I have no plans to buy one at this time. So I will be sticking around.
Upgrading, no need to consider me a dev though, I just post work I think the creator of Frankenstein is leaving, but said he will update his rom for you all/ anyone that runs it. And TeamERA also, he said he will still make some things, more when OTA is out.
But wow, the amount of real devs on that phone is going to be nuts, joeykrim will also have one, among chain fire, Myn, so many others, k0nane said he might jump on also. the list goes on and gets bigger/better everyday!

We will likely see a few new faces once source is out and others leave. This phone is expensive with no contract and some ppl are poor and have to wait for super cheap used phones.
I recently bought a nexus 7 for school, and i'm an avid follower of my devices developement since i had my galaxy s vibrant. It is SOOO nice getting the update withing a week of google releasing it, i have 4.2 and it is PHENOMINAL!!! We the s3 user base are what.. 4 months past 4.1.1 release, then there is 4.1.2, then 4.2... um two versions behind and no firm commitemnt of release. I used cm10 nightlies for months and the bugs were exausting, but i respect the work they do, excellent but there are nevertheless many bugs, hence the long nigtly list of changes. PURE up to DATE android is sublime.
And quad core w/ 2gb RAM... that was just a dream for s3 users.
I will be selling my s3... buying the 16 gb... forever more be up to date and loving the android expereince... and probably come out with a small profit
no haters please there are plenty of those threads, I would like this to be a support thread for those making the jump from s3 to nexus 4. welcome to the fold!
While I'm glad you are happy, I do have to question this kind of mentality.
I love having my S3, but I would of gotten any other new phone. The S3 just had a significant improvement over my Vibrant.
However, going from S3 to Nexus, while some perks.. I don't see the reason for all the hype. You're still talking about a phone just slightly above on par with the S3. All for what? You'll be getting the same updates, just one gets them faster. It runs about the same speed, or at least from what you can tell without an app.
So.. What's the necessity? What's the reason for such rampant rushing to the newest and best if it is just a slight increase?
Seems to be a mindset that should be avoided, not praised.

I'm sorry but its attitude like this that causes buyers remorse. You should spend a few days in the gnex forums before you quickly realize its no different. Once the gnex got jb people were itching for the next thing which was 4.1.2. Then when they got that they are irxhing again for 4.2. Catch my drift. I say get a device you are happy with and satisfied with the version of android. If you worry about updates you're always going to be worrying and not be satisfied. My 2 cents.

I agree with u.. He's just looking for attention and something to ***** about.. What nice about the s3 is their will always be many different options of ROMs..

You forgot to mention its made by lg which has a piss poor track record for quality, google is already including bumpers with the nexus because the glass back has been very easy to crack. I haven't read 1 review yet saying the n4 is much better than anything else. As for JB updates, between frosty, doc's Sprint port, and Xquzit there are plenty of great choices already.
For me personally JB doesn't have anything in it that I don't have with ics. Ok, I don't have the very latest version of google now but other than that what am I missing?

Since the point of my last thread was not answered, I thought I'd try again. (And yes, I do realize why.)
So without the passive disappointment, what's the road map in terms of ROMs?
I understand AOSP, and probably AOKP, are coming soon.
Anyone heard anything about MIUI?
Or a Phablet ROM?

I am not going to flame you.
Listen, this is not an extremely popular device. It is a great device. Just not a very popular one in terms of sales in the US. With that you can go one of three ways. Wish for things that are never to come, switch devices, or learn something.
XDA has great and I mean GREAT resources. You just have to get out of the device forum to find them. Chances are you won't have to spend any money either(if you own a computer). Go check out the developer forums. They are full of tutorials. None of this stuff is rocket science. Most of it is just reading..... and copy and pasting because someone already did it first. If you break it your out 300 bucks tops on Craigslist. We will help you.

Yo I agree. I came from plenty of phones with lots of Roms and just general stuff to flash the only phone I've had that was this bland in dev department was my other LG's the revolution and the spectrum. **** even the vivid had crap development but was a he'll of a lot better than this and that phone was a he'll of a lot more hidden buy the one x than this should be from the s3. **** all I keep reading is how there are so many great devs with this phone but there isint even any good stock moded Roms or more than 1 kernel. I switched from the vivid an amazing phone just because lack of roms. And I might have to again. Its sad that a phone this super can still suck. One thing I have been seriously considering is the lgog to nexus4 hack. And just getting my fix that way I've been hoping to see someone do some fixing to the hack to give us full sd card space and capacitive button fix. And I would have done it already.

**** I just checked the att side and they have way more work for the same dang phone. Even the Canadian edition has more work than us with the sprint. Its sucks for me considering I wanted the att edition. But was able to get the sprint edition for like 200 bucks cheaper than I could find the att. I just use my phone on WiFi so I don't care what service. But now how can I trade this for the att one? I can't that's how lol

Look I come from the GNex which has a bunch of ROMs. I don't complain to much though because I know that they are waiting to get the JB source. I could always switch back to GNex but I don't because I know the devs don't want to work to hard on something when another better thing is coming out soon. And besides they are working on CM9 which is still something. This phone did not have really good sales to be having much support. At least we have it.
Oh and there is someone who did release a JB ROM. It's just really buggy.
In the past 2 months we have sold more optimus G's than any other phone in our store. The BOGO is really helping this great phone out.
BTW today I sold 6 optimus G's, 1 galaxy s3 and no other phone. This has been pretty consistent sense the first of the year.
If its been like this for most other stores then its just a matter of time before some kid or experienced developer gives this phone the spotlight it deserves.

The AT&T OG and Sprint OG are not the same phone. Different radios, partition map to start. The Nexus 4 is also not the same device for the same reasons mentioned. A different partition map alone is enough to brick a device. The same thing applies to the GNex and other phones.
The LGOG software is broken. The source code is a mess. Joker has had to pull a number of fixes from from outside Sprint LGOG channels to fix things. Without a clean, stable and functional base, devs have had to spend more time fixing things than building ROMs. I personally have been building custom ROM's since the Palm T|C and the LGOG is by far the worst device I've ever deved on.
Not enough ROMs you say. Almost every stock based ROM is derivative and can hardly be counted as a true ROM. They are little more than themes and tweaks packaged as ROMs. Keeping that in mind the are only three true ROMs, Stock, AOSP and Hybrid. Everything beyond that is pretty wrapping.
If you consider build.prop tweaks, optimizations, ui changes and apk swaps a ROM then look at my Motorola deblur/debloat. It does all of those things on a dozen or more phones and is nothing more than a script. Calkulin did something similar over in Samsung land.
If you would like, I could very easily push out three or four different "ROMs" a day for whole week and turn this into the copycat nightmare the Evo 4G turned into. The other option is let us get a good stable stock base and AOSP base and let themers worry about what font or battery icon to use. BTW where are the themers, we could really use some.
I came from the photon and gnex ). Joker, marz, and shabby are 3 of the best devs I've encountered. With 2 out of 3 working on this device you know eventually we'll get something worth the wait.
I have a question for one of you though. Jellybean won't be out for a few months considering sprints rep for delayed updates could we expect to see aosp for ics and just not worry about jellybean for the moment? That would at least boost the amount of choices we have for now. enough to crave the flashaholics till work is finished with the jellybean based roms
Or was this the complications you were talking about? Even with ics

Just look at it this way. Dragons are coming. every dev is going to jump start as soon as jelly hits. Right now it's all on LG and Sprint.

I'm content with what we have now. I have helped a few friends find ROMs for their phones, and like Loki pointed out, it can be a nightmare. There is no way to differentiate ROMs on some phones. This is the first phone I have had that Joker, Th3Bill and Loki have dev'd for, but xboxfanj is excellent. AdriVelasquez also strikes me as being a real solid dev for us, although I don't have prior experience with him either.
I guess the point of my post is to point out that things ARE in fact happening. The ROMs we have are great and stable. I have not found a single ROM that I couldn't work with for a week or more. That certainly cannot be said for most ROMs. With the Epic 4G, there were a lot of ROMs, but some that I flashed made my phone completely useless from the onset.
AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, CM and PA I think will all make it to this phone. Realistically, aside from these, I agree with Loki's assessment. There are ROMs only in the sense that somebody changed one thing in the stock experience. Those five are the ones that I am most concerned with because they offer such a unique experience to the user.
Loki is moving, th3bill is extra busy. Im working 2 jobs plus kids and without my build box ATM. Xbox is making great progress in a way that will help us in the long run. We have another kernel dev that's helping out now. So calm down and let us work

I'm plenty calm just a little disappointed. But Im still here I guess I could be a better motivator than just bashing the overall development.

Explain to me why you are disappointed? If you are so disappointed then where is your custom ROM?

If I knew how and had the capability I would be working on it. But I am a hardware guy give me a broken phone piece by piece and I'll make it a brand new phone. Its what I'm good at. Software is just super foreign to me. Not everyone Is good at everything.

I'm sick of baby's who can't take some simple complaining. Its not like we're saying **** you all your a waste of a person. Were complaining that something we own and paid good money for is not like we would like it to be or what we were hoping it would be. Some of us have gotten used to the idea of many roms and lots of things happening. Its not fair to yell at us for wondering why it's not the same with this device. There is no need to be a **** and attack people. Were not attacking any developers at best we are attacking the general development on this phone. **** for all you know we could be wishing that more devs had this phone and things like that. Don't just decide we're dicks because we want something. Treat everyone with respect. That goes for devs and users.

Wow u think ur the only one complaining? Obviously ur too lazy to read whats been going on. And I'm sorry but the price you paid for the phone doesn't come with awesome devs and all u can flash roms. The post u just started is like shoving **** back down our throats.
