I hate to admit it, but everyone has moved on to the HD2. They have pretty much everything working on the HD2 but there is no developers working on the Rhodium and we have no sound yet.
I really thank all the devs and everyone else involved into making Android run on our Rhodiums, but we gotta face the truth someday. It was fun and I cook WinMo ROMs for the Rhodium, but we gotta realize its dated. The only reason I still have my Rhodium is because it has a keyboard. I'm waiting for a humming bird core HTC phone with QWERTY to make the upgrade. I know some people are gonna flame. Its OK I understand you want to hold on to that Rhodium you have. We ALL do.
PS: Its sad seeing craiglisters selling Android for the HD2. I wish I could kill them all. They don't deserve any money since they did not do any of the work involved nor did they contribute ONE thing. This is why I hate scenes like the smartphone scene... People take credit for what isn't theirs.
yup its dead .. now lets move on.

Keep doing what you do Reefer, I am patiently waiting for the next update!
I'm getting sick of threads on this, I'm sure devs do not appreciate them either..
Why you gotta be so negative? They are doing their best they can so why don't you lock yourself in the closet and come out of there once android has been fully ported to our device

I an getting a little woried that we have reached the point of no return. It would be helpfull if the devs did post updates to let use know where we stand. I am not giving up hope just yet. I can't upgrade for quite some time and don't want to pay out the nose for something that could give me just what I am looking for.
Just want so feedback from devs to know what's up?

Its funny, I bet there were people like you guys years ago for the Kaiser and Vogue... they work 100% now BTW. It doesnt mean people still use their Kaiser with Android for their daily phone (some do of course) but thats not what XDA is about. This used to be a strickly development forum, now its full of "gimme-gimme" users who think the OP of the thread is Customer Service.

Keep up the good work. Ignore the leeches. All they do is take. They dont realize that their purpose should be to test and return feedback on the testing. Instead they seem to think that this forum is like you said, full of customer service reps. Its pathetic.
Anyhow, there are tons of people who appreciate all of the developers work and look forward to more updates.
Yea Reefer, let em have it. I wish I could help more to unlock the potential of this phone. It really is a pretty slick device that just wasn't given enough polish or muscle. I researched the purchase of it for months beforehand and don't want to just give it up now.

+1 This is essentially a hobby for these guys....
p.s. gimme-gimme
No one thinks this is CS, i flash a rom, install a kernel and it messes something up. There is no one better to ask than the devs that made the rom, right????? BOOOYEAH
OP, there is work being done on the sound issue, however it is slow going. I try following the development, but it's WAY over my head.
Reefer for president !!!
agreed its completely dead i envy all the hd2 ppl running android
You are absolutely correct very dead. You should just get HD2s and give me your TP2s.
or pre-order ur 4g Epic.. thats what i did..

Wrong. they make a rom and put it on here for everyone. and lets say 50 people download it. and 25 of them have a problem with it. you realy thing that a dev has time to try and fix 25 peoples problems while at the same time make updates to the roms cause your demanding them? thats not how it works. if you install a rom and something goes wrong then you ask the 24 other people if any of them have had the same problem or found a fix. your a tester. if your getting the devs work for free. the least thing you could do is test it and let everyone know how it works.
Dated but not dead.
You may think its dead but for people who still own the TP2, like myself, would like to see this till the end. I still have another year with this phone before I can upgrade and I cant fork out 500+ dollars to buy a new one like the HD2 or Incredible. I'm sure there are others out there in the same situation. So just because you were able to move on with an upgrade doesn't mean its dead.
sound will be working in a matter of time acl is making head way on it over at ppcgeeks.
I didn't see anything regarding not making an intro thread and I know in most forums its welcomed so I thought I would go ahead with it.
I am coming from AT&T with an iPhone 4S 64gb. I was finally fed up with AT&T's crap so I left them and came to Sprint last weekend.
Of course being in this forum it is assumed that I have an Epic 4G Touch which I do and so far I am really liking it over the iPhone. (if you had told me 6 months ago that I would be saying that I would have laughed, very hard!)
I even decided to check out Android Development for myself which is what actually brought me to XDA looking for some info to setup an AVD for our phone.
I have read lots of great things over the past few days and hope I can contribute more once I get more familiarized with the device and Android.
So here I am making this post rocking out to some Sneaker Pimps Pandora channel enjoying the new Droid life.

Welcome and hope you have a good time. There are some great people here and you got your phone at a perfect time. ICS development is on the move to due a recent leak.
Welcome.
What crap from AT&T were you fed up with? I just left Sprint and the E4GT for AT&T and the iPhone 4S lol. Was tired of Sprint's crap-ass data speeds in my area. I have a love/hate relationship with the iPhone, I really miss my E4GT.

I live in the Oklahoma City area and for over 3 weeks I was seeing 3G speeds of around 0.13 Mbps down on my iPhone 4s as well as my fiancee's on my plan. I was also seeing this on my 3G AT&T iPad 2, and others that had iPhones on AT&T. Every time I called they would tell me that it was because I am a high data user on an Grandfathered Unlimited plan and was limited because nothing in our area was going on. When I told them about other's issues they would respond with "Im sorry I cannot comment on others accounts or lines only this one" after enough of that I was fed up and left. Funny thing is last week I got a call from someone at AT&T checking on my service saying there was an issue locally after all. They just seem to have poor customer service in the past few years, I sure hope I am happier with Sprint. I was going to go with Verizon but the fully unlimited plans on Sprint along with 23% employer discount made me choose them.
Thanks to all the others for welcome's!

We'll get ICS when we get it, simple as that!

I think we should storm T-Mobile's headquarters Matrix-style to get the source code, then hand it to the very capable developers here to finish it in a day or two. What say you?
Good idea... but I think the topic "ICS" is too general. How would we be able keep track of what the issue at hand is? Different groups of people could be talking about different things here at the same time.. if we keep it to "ONE" official forum for ICS. And it would just end up for a lot of us to do page searching.
There is only one issue at hand:
The T989 doesn't have ICS/Samsung source code.

Came here to post this (Samsung just tweeted and FB'd it). Y'all are fast!
Well, this is very depressing. I guess I'll be hopping on the SIII bandwagon soon.
As happy as I am with the T989 on Gingerbread, I want the latest and greatest. T-mobile has failed me once again. All of this Galaxy S II ICS news from other carriers, the ICS update for the S II for Tmo UK users, and now we get a message "in the coming months". That's sort of... heartbreaking to say the least.
Would source from skyrocket ics be enough for us to get decent battery life from a port ?
gawd ........ some how I thought them releasing source as fast as they did would change how they do things. I think its time we start jumping their a*ses again
If we dont show support for the galaxy s3 maybe they will pull their heads out of their butts.
I freakin love the phone but I'm tired of all they stupid excuses. You can still release source or some crap.
And I would love to have someone with a lot more followers tweet this !

Exactly what I thought. They arent going to tell use until they push out the update. Apple does a somewhat similar few days notice.
It is annoying on both ends. Tmobile should realize they arent Apple and a software update isnt the press equivalent of realizing a new phone.
I've already gave up on this phone getting an official update , already accepted that ill have to get another phone so i will choose wisely next time, honestly the only thing that keeps me with T-Mobile is wi-fi calling if they ever stop that then I see no reason to stay with them

Probably would be useless, the small number of users that actually know of or care about an update is nothing compared to the amount of people that just buy a phone because it looks nice or has a big screen. Most customers are oblivious. Most it would do is start a small trending topic and then it would fizzle like KONY 2012. Next thing you know your running around in public naked doing the "5 knuck backhand no drop ins". Updates are worthless to carriers usually unless its more of a Dev phone like the nexus. Which the SGS2 is not. Well atleast T-Mobile version. Money is in the contract! Hook line and sinker.
But what do I know? Nothing but what I have seen with my last three devices on T-Mobile. I don't think the SGS3 is going to be any different, ship the phone. Get the money. Rinse and repeat.
Thankfully there is a sweet dev community that can work wonders Modding and porting ROMs but I can even see now certain communities are fading out because of Vultures and demanding users plying updates updates updates. We should all chill and just enjoy what we have and work with it. Last thing you want is more talented Devs and Themers leaving a device you own because patience is not in our vocabulary. ICS will or will not come...device has only been out for several months. Look at the SGH-T959 community, strong and mad ROMs. Stuff takes time. This is a hobby for people, hobby! Something people like. Whoaaaa...way off topic. I'll shut up now. Sorry for the Opinionated rant.
Carry on.

That's no big surprise, most of the people on this s4 forum and the at&t s4 forum are pretty ungrateful and expect everything to just drop in their laps. With how much people piss and moan around here it's amazing there are as many devs as there are.
Yep. I had it deleted. I just received waaay too many complaints without any effort to help troubleshoot anything. I just don't have the time in my days to continue to support something like that when I could use that time for devices that I do actually own when there are users that actually contribute. With working two jobs, my daughter, and my family there is a serious lack of time for that. Sorry to the rest of you, but it needed to happen.

Cuz I am out of this *****, and no I censored myself The E4GT was my first android phone and I can't say there were any regrets. This section will probably be kept alive even longer than its predecessor thanks to the device moving onto Boost and Virgin. Long live the E4GT but WiMax please die a horrible death you deserve it. From the 4.0 leaks to the super brick bug and beyond who thought after 2 years some of us would be hanging onto this relaxing on the latest 4.4?
Probably very few people around here remember me but the day I got the phone was the day I started hosting files for contributors and developers. Some time after sfhub got busy I had taken on mirroring for BriefMobile and thats when I realized I was in over my head. Pushing GB per minute over a metered uplink I had to scale back and I eventually quit.
I have to give props to people like RWilco and Garwynn as well as the people who support them. I felt bad leaving out but between the people I supported leaving and myself as well they stepped in and continue to support this device. All of the people who made CM possible from 9 on up to 11 which I currently run and the people who support those people the thanks might sometimes be silent but know we love you guys.
Tomorrow my service is off and I am stuck on some pos Alcatel until my GSM Nexus arrives. Carrier? Doesn't matter but right now getting 5-6 Mbps down on a 7.2 Mbps 3G modem is better than what I have had from sprint for some time.

See that used to be a sticky lol. Now we have some why are you leaving sprint thread which to be honest is probably more relevant. Because its mostly about that. Even living in a 4G LTE area I would still have to deal with Sprints 3G if I upgraded and its horrible.
Looks like someone needs to update the Wiki to point to RWilco's downloads. I didn't know SFHUB's primary mirror no longer had this files. I still have them but last couple months I have been through so many server wipes I stopped putting them back up.

Stop in and say "HI" sometime. I'm probably headed to the Nexus 5 next year when my upgrade is ready. Good luck and hope to see you soon. thanks for hosting back in the day, that is when I first started flashing roms.
It is in the roll-up sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471678
And even if you censor yourself, the intent is still there and really not appropriate for a development forum.
Best of luck with the new phone and if you would like please continue in the Goodbye thread which will bring it back to the top page.
