Just wanted to let you guys know, I have been itching for a new phone lately not that there's anything wrong with this one per say. I have decided to get the HTC one M8 when Rogers has them in stock here which is Friday. It has been an amazing experience posting here along side many of you. Thanks to all those who taught me everything I know. There is a GREAT community here. I came from the first Xperia and the the evo3d but I would definitely say my true passion for android blossomed thanks to this community. Without you guys, this phone would certainly not have held my interest for so long and I can only hope that the M8 community is half as amazing.

Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's been an absolute pleasure posting along side you, mate. My passion for Android has also blossomed due to this device and this awesome forum. I learned a lot of what I know from reading your posts along the way, so I thank you so much for giving me the knowledge that I now use to help other people.

It's a bit sad that development for this device has diminished quite a bit recently. We've lost some great people to new devices and I can honestly say this forum won't quite be the same without you here. There's only a few of the original crew left now. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the hell outta your new device! See ya, buddy.

Yup sadly my hox died a few weeks ago and I purchased the M7. I will say it has been a great experience here in this community and I met a lot of people that I now consider friends. I'll still pop in on you guys. ;)

I did it guys. I just had to get the M8 developer edition. I will be donating one of my Evitas to help keep the development moving forward. The other one I will keep for testing. Even though I am moving to a different thread, I will still do my part to help in any way I can.

Okay. I did it too. I just became eligible for my device upgrade, and picked up the M8 (AT&T version) yesterday.

The community here has been great. I can only hope the community over in the M8 forum are even half as good.

I'll still try to pop in from time to time, and update the Index thread (might need to help from you guys to tell me the new ROMs, or what has changed). Unless somebody wants to carry that torch of keeping the Index going.

Hope to see some of you guys over on the AT&T M8 forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Wow, am I the only old guard left on this device now? Congrats on your new phone, you're gonna enjoy it! If you feel like you don't want to (or can't) continue the index thread I'd be more than happy to take it over for you. We'll miss you around here, mate.

Hey buddy, of course you were the first one that came to mind when I thought about who might want to take up the Index thread. But I wasn't sure if you were too busy, didn't you take up development of one of the ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't have the proper resources (namely a non-mobile internet connection) to take over a ROM, so I had to decline. I have time to do it if you need me to.

How's that OPO treating you? I think this may be the only Off topic lounge left in the phone forums. I'm up to my ears in phones these days. I can tell you straight out, I'm not a Samsung fan. I have an S2 and I use it when I need a phone abroad with a local SIM card. You can unlock the SIM on that one right on the phone. That's the only one I like. The others can be modified but they are a pain.

My Evita is still ticking and I use it faithfully as an alarm clock (since it has the nice sideways cradle. lol

My M8 is still my favorite by far. There is literally nothing I can't do with it. I'm betting the OPO is the same way? I may pick one up one of these days and probably a Nexus 5 as well just to play around with. Who knows?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Hey bud,

Loving the OPO, best phone I've ever used. It's an absolute beast, handles everything I throw at it. And at the same time it has fantastic battery life, the combination of the efficient 801 processor and the huge battery is great. I can't stand Samsung, I've never owned one and I never will, wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. My son has my Evita since his Razr M bit the dust, I miss it sometimes, but mostly I don't. Pick up some Bacon goodness if you get the chance, it's a great device and the dev community is outstanding.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
I hear you. I look over in the Bacon forum from time to time and it's pretty impressive. Much better than the M8 forums. We are fractured between the carriers and congregate in the international forum. You can usually find Redpoint hanging out in the AT&T Forum.

Samsung wouldn't be so bad if they didn't lock the phones down. You can pick up an S4 or Note 3 for next to nothing, which says alot. I don't like them either. I haven't bricked any yet but I thought I was close (after reading the instructions several times no doubt!)

On the Dev side. One of these days I'll post a Rom or two when I get off my lazy butt and learn the ins and outs of Git and Gerrit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I've only just started learning about git. I've successfully managed to build Vanir-Exodus from source, but I haven't dared try make any changes or anything yet. It was a great feeling when my first build from source compiled successfully though, and it's pretty easy.

I jump in the discussion to ask a question : my Evita broke :( I'm considering buying either an OPO or a Lg G3. I can find both at about the same price so I'm just wondering why I should go one way or another...the G3 community looks great as well as the bacon community so its a tough choice and I hope you can help me in the right direction.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
That's a tough one. Two very good phones by mass opinion. I personally would opt for the OPO. The phone is designed with customization in mind just like the Nexus line however it has much better hardware under the hood. The G3 on the other hand is a nice phone as well but they still haven't unlocked it yet. You can customize it through a process they call bumping. It can be rooted easily three different ways.

Really it boils down to what you want in a phone. Whatever capabilities you want and need to satisfy you. Good luck with your choice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'd take the OPO, it's designed to be tinkered with. Sold!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nicolahaye:
I ordered the 64gb yesterday :) the for the advice :)

As long as I am here I'd like to thank everyone in the Evita forum who's ever helped me or who's worked for this wonderful device :) I learned everything in this forum thanks a lot everyone :) I'll stick around of course and help if I can, my Evita will be available for testing new Roms/kernel if you'd like, I can see if it boots but won't be able to use it since the screen is unresponsive 3/4 of the time [emoji14]

I'll be joining the bacon forum soon :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Hey, long time no see. Hope you are doing well! I figured it was about time to razz the Evita forums again with useless banter. After all, it's where I learned to really enjoy tinkering with Android devices. I hope you don't mind.

I saw in your signature you have a Nexus 6P. Are you done with the test drive? And what do you think about it?

I'm still hanging in there and loving my M8 but I see and hear a lot about the Nexus phones. I'm really tempted and probably would have bought one if it weren't for the rumor of the HTC M10.

Also, did you see the phone made by caterpillar with a FLIR camera built in??!

http://gizmodo.com/caterpillars-new-s60-is-the-first-smartphone-with-flir-1759685817
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Hey man :)

The 6P is a great phone, it has a few problems but that's normal for any phone.

Pros:

Fantastic camera

Great speakers

Pure Android

Developer support

Crisp display with great colour

Fingerprint sensor is really good

Cons:

Quality control problems

Uneven tinting to the display

Chrome performance isn't great (basically can't open/scroll pages with a lot of info)

Overheating (and the problems that come with it)

I really loved my Evita but I can't see myself buying another HTC any time soon. I don't like the direction they want with their design language, then there's all the crap you have to go through to unlock and root, having to use an RUU instead of just flashing images with fastboot, and the lack of updates. Plus I much prefer stock Android, I was always using AOSP/CM based ROMs on my Evita.

I did see that Cat phone, pretty impressive. It even has decent specs, unlike most of the other specialty devices out there. They usually have one decent/unique feature but let it down with subpar chipsets and other hardware components.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Ahhh. I forgot about the overheating issues with the 810 chip.Not good. I totally agree with you on the HTC software. I never was a fan of blinkfeed either. I'm running GPE on the M8. I've always liked the simplicity.

Maybe I should stick with the M8 for now and see what comes out later this year. I can still get the most current GPE going but that won't last forever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
GPE is the next best thing, it's a shame that program came to an end. HTC never wanted to release a GPE device, not until Samsung did and then they were all over it. I'd be waiting, the SD820 generation of phones are gonna be beasts. I would have liked to wait but the OPO has terrible cell reception, which made making/receiving calls at my home impossible. I've never had great reception here but every other phone has at least been able to maintain a call without constant audio drops.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Yep, GPE is outstanding. It's easy to mess around with because all the drivers and phone specific stuff is right there. All you have to do is bake in some mods and done. I'm hoping the SD820 phones are as good as they are hyping them to be. Sorry to hear about your Bacon. I live in an area with shoddy cell reception too and that would have been a show stopper for me too. Once I flashed the developer radio for mine everything has been great. I still get a kick out of changing the channel on the TV (M8 IR feature) in waiting rooms. Kinda childish but it never seems to get old. I suppose I should grow up!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
All reports suggest that the 820 is the beast that it's hyped up to be. I'll probably never know, I intend on keeping this one for two years so I'll probably end up with the next generation. I'll most likely never buy Huawei again though, I probably never would have if they didn't make this Nexus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Hey, happy holidays and I hope you are doing fine. I see from your signature you have the Pixel 2 as well? I can't bring myself to mess with it yet. It's pretty neat the way it is. My M8 has replaced my Evita as my alarm clock! Lol. The Evita is still running great after all this time. Not sure what to do with it now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Happy holidays to you too. Yeah I went from my Evita to the OnePlus One, then to the Nexus 6P, and now the Pixel 2 is my current phone. I really didn't want to stop using the Nexus but the battery had reached the end of its life so I kinda had to rush out and buy something new. I like the Pixel 2, it's a little small for my taste but I wasn't going to fork out the money they want for the XL. All I've done to it is unlock the bootloader and root so my macros work and so I can run Adaway and Android Pay. If the Pure Nexus ROM will come out for this phone I might run that just because I've gotten so used to the extra features but stock is actually pretty good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
I used the heck out of my M8 and I still like it a lot. I still plan on making modifications and changes to it when they come out. But when I found out HTC made the Pixel 2 and it was a google pure phone, I was sold. I specifically went after the Pixel 2 because the size was very close to the M8. I actually like a smaller phone. Lol. The camera is supposed to be the best in a phone and so far I think that is right but it gets really hard to tell when the competition is so tight and I'm no expert by any means. Oddly enough, my Evita is still ticking and works great. I still have the last version of Paranoid Android installed. It's all dressed up with nowhere to go. Lol!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The camera is pretty amazing, I've taken some great photos so far. I have no idea where my Evita is lol, probably in a drawer somewhere. I love big screens but I've gotten used to this pretty quickly, I picked up the Nexus yesterday and it felt ridiculously big!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That's a great case. I've had a similar one for 5 years now, and no complaints.

I may be replacing my mobo as well, and probably get an Asus if I do. Maximum PC picked Asus mobos in all 3 categories of their "Best of the Best" list. To me, that's saying something . . .

Dilema:

My kidlet broke off the tip of her headphones while they were plugged in to her tab 2.0 7 inch. How do I get the end out?

really thin needle nose pliers or am I taking the thing apart to get into the headphone jack?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
I would think the safest way to prevent damage to the phone jack would be to take it apart.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
There is a little stub that sticks out from the tip of a 3.5 mm plug. You *should* be able to grab it with a pair of ultra fine needle noses. I would definitely try that before taking it apart. Some jacks are sealed and won't give you access to the inside, others just have flexible contacts that rest on the tip, ring, and shield of the connector that you could lift up to get it out. It's a gamble. Go the pliers route first, just be careful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
yeah I see a tip I just don't have pliers small enough to get to it.

I'll go to rat shack in the morning.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I've read about this trick for getting a broken plug tip out of the jack: super glue a Q-tip tube to the jack and pull it out. Never tried it myself, so can't vouch for it. But I've read about this in a few various places, so it seems legit.

Does anybody else get mildly annoyed when non- rooted people post general Android questions on xda? This isn't a general Android forum like Android Central... XDA is specifically for ROM/ mod development and things related to rooting so I just don't understand why people who don't want to root post here. A lot of times they ask questions that could easily be answered by a simple Google search or a little more android know- how, and their threads add to the clutter. I probably shouldn't get annoyed by it but since I spend so much time on xda, it's like someone tracking mud into my house lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I've been noticing the change in XDA since I came back with the HOX. I'll use the OTA thread as an example, I couldn't believe so many people were wanting to install it. We'd had it for weeks. I rolled my eyes a month ago when Pirate Ghost ranted about the change in XDA but I totally agree. This place is for hacking not general info.
