I was ready to stick with my like 95% as-new EVO4G for quite a while longer, mostly because I've been using it truly as a phone since I got the Acer A500 tablet, but then the wife upgraded her work phone (an Abacus...uh...I mean, BlackBerry) to a SG3 and after rooting it for her and dinking around with it...WOW. I was bit by the Samsung bug!

Having come to the EVO4G from a stylus based Palm Treo 755p, the Note II was the phone for me and I absolutely love it. I've rooted the N2 and I'm running Nova launcher on it (since the stupid Apple/other lawsuits have limited the TouchWiz features so much), but otherwise I'm running a stock ROM and kernel. I've done some tweaks like running the latest leaked radios as well as running the MultiWindow hack that allows all apps to run from a window, but otherwise stock and it's very nice. Honestly, it's so nice that I'm already finding the upgrade experience a little boring compared to the EVO4G! The development in any of the Note II forums isn't anywhere close to the EVO4G, but what is there I try without fear after my EVO4G flashaholic experience.

I kept my EVO4G thinking that my soon to be teenage soon could have it as his first phone, but then Sprint told me I can add a SG3 to my account for $50 or a Nexus for free, both of which are better, newer phones. So I'll just keep it as a backup phone in case one of the family phones meets an untimely death. It might never get used again, but I couldn't bear just dumping it for $35.

It's been an honor and a blast sharing the EVO4G adventure with all of you. Thank you to all the devs that made the EVO4G the true Super(sonic) Phone that it was/is!

I actually traded my Evo in for the SGS III a while back (a couple days after playing with the new one the wife showed up with).

My Evo was on its last legs (10-12 hours a day in attics in the Texas summers took its toll pretty quick) and I needed a replacement anyway.

After my father played with mine for a few minutes, we ran to the store and picked up his new SGS III.

I convinced him to give his Evo to me instead of trading it in.

His old Evo is still kickin' around my house as a media player.

I really enjoyed that phone but when I upgrade the SGS III to the "latest and greatest" in a couple years, That good ol' Evo will become like your best dog as a young child. Just a good ol' faded memory.

Sad thing about all of this is (being somewhat of a pack rat :) ), I still have my old Sanyo RL4920 hanging out in a drawer!

I imagine it will be a few years before I actually get rid of the Evo completely. ;)

Saying goodbye, but not.

Still keeping my EVO 4G as a backup phone but bought the EVO 4G LTE. Got it home, Unlocked it, went s-off, and installed MeanROM on it right out of the box!
[EVO 4G General] lewisyiv:
Still with OG EVO

I too am back with the evo. I had been given a ns4g but in Jacksonville that phone irregardless which roms/radios were used was worthless. So back to the EVO. Been eligible for upgrade since October, but wating until LTE rollout is complete here to see wether to keep the galaxy nexus or move on to Samsung S3/Note2. It been a blast here at the form even though I've mostly been a lurker, but have flashed over 20 Roms and tried all different combos of kernels.Thanks to all who make the EVO a great phone and hobby!!!!
[EVO 4G General] internetpilot:
You in Jacksonville, Florida? If so, LTE is like this >< close. They already have it in Ponte Vedra! I love my Note 2, but I'm missing the 4G Wimax from the EVO4G. In some areas of Jacksonville 3G is almost unusably slow.
[EVO 4G General] EVObastard:
Considering saying goodbye but I just rooted so maybe not.
[EVO 4G General] lewisyiv:
Jacksonville

Some areas of jacksonville current service period is almost unusable. Finish the upgrade soon please!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] jerrykur:
I just replaced my EVO with a Droid DNA. The differences are amazing, but I still really liked my EVO. I wonder if I can find another use for my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] PlatinumPenguin:
HDMI media viewing device . Netflix, YouTube , Hulu, HBO, or online services via browsers just make sure you have flash installed. Sync it with a Bluetooth remote (wiimote works beautifully) and you have yourself a little media device like a roku.

Its funny how you get attached to things. I am an official Note II owner for about two mnths now. I dropped by to check whats new with the Evo. I wished I would have kept it to tinker with, but 45 towards the Note was great. Peace out!!
[EVO 4G General] CRIME INC.:
Well I but the bullet and went to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm a huge fan of aosp, so I feel like a made the best choice for me. Plus LTE just rolled out where I live so that makes it that much better. I'll always have a special place for my evo, but this phone is amazing.

I'll most likely be the last person on Earth with an EVO contract. I gave my upgrade to my wife so I'm stuck with my EVO until Feb 2014! Of course, three months later we changed her to Verizon as she was having connectivity issues and with little 4G support here in the Phoenix area and a Verizon discount, we got her a Droid Razr Maxx and haven't looked back. My work is going to iPhone 5's on Verizon sometime in March and I was thinking of canceling my contract with Sprint, waiting a couple of months for the cost to even out since I would use my work phone for personal use, and then look at the latest and greatest Droid Razr offering.

Then again, I'm rooted and still running on Myn's Warm ROM from Jan 2011, I think, so I'm on 2.2. Maybe with a newer Android version I'll breathe new life in to my EVO again! I will stay this, I'll be running from Sprint as I can't stand the fact that I've had a 4G phone without the service here in Phoenix, the 5th largest market in the country. And...I'm certainly not going to wait for LTE to come here, they've already bent me over on that one!

Well, I finally gave in and made the switch to the Note 2. I couldn't be much happier, amazing phone but I will surely miss the old Supersonic!! :laugh:

I kept my EVO 4g, I just couldn't bear parting ways with it and recycling it. :(
[EVO 4G General] spyke1999:
Well it took forever but I finally got an evo 4g lte I've been running my evo since it came out now I will only use it for rom testing
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Darn, and just before you finished writing us some 4G drivers for JB from scratch. We will miss your sense of self-assurance!

Just messing with you. Great phone, good choice, enjoy, all that.

Secretly, I've been looking at the Droid DNA. If the name weren't so dumb I'd port my number right now. Tons of development plus they just got S-OFF yesterday..

Granted, the Evo is probably the most versatile and developed device ever, but truth is, I want to get this upgrade done ASAP.

I love my Evo, but it's laggy, a lot. JB ROMs are so cool, but will never see the Evo be able to use all of it'sa hardware, like FFC, for example.

I get graphics glitches, memory freezes, etc way too often. It's a great phone ,but I'm ready for something cutting edge
[EVO 4G General] Nooblube:
I miss this phone so much.. I lost it a while back and they sent me the evo 3d.. Then i did an early upgrade and got the evo 4g LTE.. So many roms and kernels it nuts!! I mite see if i can get one cheap off CL
[EVO 4G General] tobalaz:
Well folks, Friday I order my upgrade.

Still debating between the LG Optimus G, Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.

However, going to keep my Evo 4g around as a backup plan since Sprint changed my contract from getting a new phone as a replacement to a referb, and I'd rather just pack my Evo over a referb if something happens.
[EVO 4G General] dominiman:
great phone, have 2 for 4+ years and still going strong.....a champ
[EVO 4G General] kelsobarrett:
turn out the lights, the party is almost over.. EVO 4G

i bought my evo about a year after they came out.. then bought an iphone, jail broke it and all that jazz, and it got boring and i came back to my evo and got into rooting.. researched blue-bugger with 99% percent access through various root apps and google searches.. but i too am looking to add the SN2 to my legacy soon, my idea of soon is like $179 or less with upgrade.. thanks for all the evo help.. :good:
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lol @ 4+ years phone won't even have been available for 3 years until July this year. You've effectively doubled the time you could have possibly had the phone if you bought it on launch day.

I like to break stuff! :D
[EVO 4G General] dominiman:
yeah your right.....:o duh, meant to say bout 3 years....
[EVO 4G General] tobalaz:
I've had mine since January 30th 2011. It was a true beast back in the day. My first android and probably a great starter phone considering sense is stock.

Grant it I prefer a cleaner rom now, but sense made the android learning curve a little less steep.
[EVO 4G General] DarthBelan:
Came here to post my goodbye thread, and found this post. I don't post often, but have used this site for all my rom needs. After 2 years with the Evo, I'm off to Galaxy S III land. I want to send a thanks to all the modders out there. :good:

Now over to the S III forum to say my hellos. :)
[EVO 4G General] I Like Soup:
Agreed. The EVO will never be able to take advantage of what JB has to offer from a hardware standpoint and I'm realizing this as I'm running around with a JB ROM. I've pretty much been biding my time until I move over to Verizon (really tired of Sprint and their BS with 4G, then LTE not being in the Phoenix area) and was looking at the Motorola offerings, specifically something like the Razr Maxx's. However, after flashing a new ROM, it has reminded me of how exciting it is to try different ROMs, etc., so I might turn an eye to how much developer support is out there for a device, ease of rooting, etc.
[EVO 4G General] MysticRhythms87:
From an EVO to a Galaxy

Stepping from the EVO to the Galaxy S II on Virgin Mobile (Epic 4G Touch)...yes, I know I could have done better with carrier/phone choice, but for my budget and needs, it works fine. I've had Virgin before, and the service was reliable, and since I ended my Sprint contract three months ago, I've been aching for something new...well, newer.

I can't bring myself to toss the EVO yet, as it is still awesome and the devotion from every EVO owner/ROM developer I've seen here is amazing. Maybe I'll keep it as a secondary media device. The Ubersonic ROM would work well for that...as for my new phone, step one is root; I've seen some kickass ROMs for the S II and I needs my Jelly Bean fix. Plus, it brings me one step closer to my sister's S III :p

Until we meet again... :)
[EVO 4G General] BonezMontana:
What did you end up getting? I'll be up for an upgrade in 2 weeks. My wife is upgrading 2 so unless I can get the Note 2 for 99, thats out of the question. Its between the s3 and optimus g for me. There is one con that stands out for me with the optimus g that makes me not want to get it is that it easily cracks. Its been reported that the gorilla glass on the back flexes and temp change can crack it. No idea what to do. I still plan on keepin the evo though to use as a media player and continue to flash new roms until it dies.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Well, it's sudden, but today it's my last day on the EVO and with Sprint.

Last month I moved out to the country and had to get a Novell HotSpot for internet access until I could get something else set up and in 8 days, they day I used 21GB of data, which is not even possible.

Last week I moved back into the city, into a house I've been restoring all winter and it's a typical dead zone for data. Even 3G barely connects and 4G doesn't exist here.

Sprint was the first carrier with 4G,.but the only one without it in Peoria. US Cellular does though, so as of tomorrow, I'll be on the SG III.

I'm just sick of Sprints BS.

I'll pop in to give advice, etc., still, but look for me on the US Cellular SG III forums.
[EVO 4G General] I Like Soup:
I hear ya. I already moved my wife over to Verizon and I'll mostly likely be following when the Motorola X something or other shows up on Big Red. I've complained a little here on the forum about being with Sprint and no 4G in the 5th largest market. I won't be with them much longer because there is no end in sight for LTE coverage here in the Phoenix area. Weak sauce Sprint.

Enjoy 4G! My wife pulls down data as fast as our home cable internet and I constantly get made fun of for my old phone, and I'm the techy in the family!
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
That was my final statement to the Sprint rep here.... "And I'm sure Peoria will NEVER get LTE, either!"
[EVO 4G General] I am Q:
even if it's old, it's still a very capable pocket sized computer. there are so many secondary uses for a device like this if you no longer use it as your primary phone.

plenty of robotics applications:

it can serve as a higher powered brain running some PID and AI algorithms in autonomous robotics,

it has a lot of useful sensors that can be taken advantage of in this situation

pair it up with arduino and you got yourself a very capable platform

home automation:

same uses as with the robotics, but here it can be in a stationary set-up

maybe use a cluster of old smartphones to run servers, DVR, home security and surveillance

nanny cams, video intercom systems, etc...

use it to unite or control components of a home or mobile entertainment center:

stream HD video to it wireless, and it will allow you to easily install a projector with HDMI in a variety of places without having to run cables.

or use it to set up a mobile projector unit that runs off a very large battery or with a very long industrial extension cord

great for entertaining guests in a backyard or some other common area

you can set up your own drive-in movie or something even cheesier

use it like a slingbox receiver or to stream movies and music to other tv's or radios in the house

use it in your car and replace the head unit with a nice touchscreen

maybe use the pattern lock and facial recognition to start and/or unlock your car

since it has its own battery, uses very little power relative to what a car's electrical system can do

it can be used as a DVR to document for evidence in the event of an accident

or entertainment, just to have a video of the crazy @^#!! you encounter on the road

with the ability to save a large area of google maps, or using apps that do not need to be online for an always up to date GPS with features that you'd pay a hell of a lot more for buying a dedicated GPS unit

real time OBD II diagnostics, using bluetooth and a wireless OBD connector

you can get a ton of interesting info about your car through that port, including MPG or other internal issues that can be addressed before they get too expensive

use it as a hidden, motion and sound activated DVR when you leave your car with a valet, public garage or at the repair shop

you get sound and video in a single device that can keep running even if the car battery is disconnected for a while

use it as a personal lojack:

if you have cash to burn, let it stay connected with full high speed data, so it can call home if your car or motorcycle is stolen or towed

use it with data only services and you can still do the same thing

low budget option:

have it set up to look for any connection it can use and as soon as it finds one to send you as much data as it can about its location and status

but most of this is only possible if you can #^@!ING update the thing and still use ALL the internal hardware.

COME. ON. PEOPLE.

let's make this happen

Well,well,my time is soon to arrive,2 months and im moving on to the HTC One,gonna start deving for the greatest phone on the earth,hahaha.Also gonna port over 4 Kornerz,so you guys keep the EVO alive,which in my opinion is the all time greatest phone and it will be missed,sprint offered me $100 for a trade in and $250 off of my upgrade,so i wont have an EVO after my upgrade,take care guys,ill pop in from time to time to check things out.

Edit: Well guys i was wrong,i just checked my account and im due for an update as of July 1,2013,so thats tomorrow!Hells yea!!Woohoo!!Anyway very nice flashing the great evo roms and developing for you guys,farewell to all and a good night.

This is kind of late as I've moved on to the GNex and S3. I still wanted to thank all of the devs and users who contributed to the EVO threads.

A special thanks to those who kept it going the last 8 months when most thought the device was dead. You all made it possible for me to get the full life out of my og which many can't say about any device.
[EVO 4G General] justjoeo:
my evo died today. *sniff*sniff* I'm convinced it is beyond reviving. Only the good die young.... except in technology.

I have used it as a babycam for the the past few months...now... it shall now be my son's toy. Reincarnation, yea buddy.

it was my first smartphone. I was proud to be among these ranks, goodbye evo, but I bought the evo's baby bro... one V. so his spirit lives on... in a way. reincarnation, yea buddy!
[EVO 4G General] :
Thanks for the great support. It happens though.

This is only a goodbye to XDA. Not the OG. This device shall live as long as I have it (outside of evervolv/preludedrew, which is whats kept my work going), which will be quite a while. I seem to have had 'Moral Differences' with some folks here in a private manner, and will no longer be able to support the device that I LOVE, here on this particular website. I hope to see the lovely OG flashers wherever I may go.

Peace......... since we all need it.
