Is the froyo sauce really needed?

Someone pointed out froyo was on the hero and they've never had even a LEAKED OFFICIAL build of it to work with...and now they're on their way to 2.3...
Is there something in the epic that makes it harder to port?

Nothing makes it harder to port, its just a bit easier to port things and upgrade kernel versions and such with the 2.2 source instead of pulling the initramfs editing it and pushing it back in and hoping you don't get a kernel panic. (;

Kernel panic!

With out source code devs can't make roms as custom they would want to be or they would be like cyanogenmod and be built from scratch work lots of bugs that need fixing which is a lot of work

Previous hero owner here. I was running cyanogenmod 6.1 on my hero but it took a long time for it to be a daily driver. Hero never had 2.2 but yeah after a lot of hard work they got it working. We have a cyanogenmod build coming for the epic but yeah it is gonna take some time to polish it up. Either way I am very happy with my epic even on 2.1.

I don't need froyo (or any other update) for any reason other than to patch vulnerabilities...which are currently unpatched.
The more powerful these phones become, the greater chance for them to become a target for malware. A botnet of mobile phones might serve as a wakeup call for the carriers.

Anyone know why this wouldn't work on ICS?

Blogging site Xanga just released an app and it's not accessible for anything running 3.0+. As soon as I open the app, I get this.

Is there any way of "tricking" the app into thinking I'm running 2.3 or something? I've spoken to the developer and he said they only had 2.3 devices to test with so until they get something newer, they aren't looking into it. Any thoughts?

Tell them to download 4.0 simulator... crazy replied from the developer

I told them to root their phones and install an ICS rom.

I've found that most developers are pretty good with updating their apps for new versions. Right before the Galaxy Nexus came out I remember my phone/tablet grabbing tons of updates, and usually the update notes would say "Android 4.0 compatibility added".
But there are some developers who have either abandoned their apps completely, or just don't see the need to invest in keeping their apps updated and in tip-top shape. It's a shame, because I feel a lot of them are primarily interested in iOS, and ported their stuff over because of the demand for Android versions, but then don't really think investing their time into the Android version is worth their while.
All a part of the ecosystem I guess. Good thing about Android is that if an app isn't coded to work properly or gets abandoned, there are usually quite a few alternatives.

Can somebody make a flyme for DHD?

Ok first my english is poor
Flyme Os is a OS based on android . It was built by Meizu .inc just like MIUI OS by Xiaomi
Flyme OS is pretty good looking
This is screen shot
Also meizu offers various system services

This is xda-developers, not xda-requesters. And if you truly must have it, your best option is to learn to develop and try to do it yourself. I highly doubt any dev is going to go to all the trouble of developing an entire port for a 2-year-old phone just because one person wants it.

mDNIE Settings on AOSP

I just recently bought the d2att, and my biggest issue coming from the international s3 has been the lack of support for all mDNIE features on AOSP roms (e.g. sharpness, mode). Is this kernel or rom related? And if so, short of porting the features from an i9300 kernel/rom, is there anything I can do about this?

I feel like Quantum Rom has mDNIE. I just got rid of my AT&T S3 so I can't check. Quantum is based on SlimKat and PwnCakes193 is a beast at making ROMs. He recently switched to SlimKat and it runs great and has so many more options than CM, which is why I feel like I noticed those options. Give it a try and let me know.

Thanks, but the problem is that even when you use an app (like the one in Quantum) all of the features of mDNIE aren't there. Unless the d2att doesn't have some of those settings?

This is the mDNIE settings tab on an i9300, the mode setting in particular seems to be missing from the d2att.

Did some more research, the US variants just don't have that.

Strange, I would have thought that that was a ROM thing not a phone or US variant thing.

Apparently so, gotta love Samsung's hardware/software discrepancies. If I was a dev I might've looked into porting the features from the Intl S3 or an earlier ROM, but alas I am not. Back to the i9300 until my Nexus 5 comes in.

Custom ROM or not?

I was wondering what people are doing with their 5X's. The Nexus devices use to be a safe haven for ROM users, but with stock Android getting so good with monthly updates, and Android Pay not being usable on a custom ROM, custom ROM's have been a lot less appealing to me.
Nonetheless, I believe that this device suffers from MAJOR optimization issues, and the combination of CM13 and ElementalX kernel solves a lot of these issues, yet I feel like I'm missing out without the possibility of using Android Pay.
I have also grown tired of factory resetting my phone after doing it countless times over the last few years, and I'm ready to not have to do that for a long while, and the most obvious option for that is sticking with stock.
So what are you guys doing? Sticking with stock? Or are you using some custom ROM as a daily driver?

Did someone say custom ROM?
Flashing is addicting. Fun too. And there isn't anything wrong that. If you have the time and patience it is an excellent hobby.
Sounds like it's getting old to you. Maybe it's time to take a break. Try stock unrooted (or rooted) for a week or so and see if it works out for you. If not flash away. You won't be out anything.
I'm on day 3 of stock unrooted (for the best buy deal). I'm going to see how long I can stay this way.
