[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
So I was browsing the forums yesterday eating leftover christmas food. I literally spent some time on diff development sections and noticed the EVO has an AMAZING community. I am an epic 4g owner and can't help but admire the amount of development, the bountys to get certain feautures and roms going.

There are also many other popular devices like the i9000, nexus one, g2. MY question is, what is the most popular phone with the most active DEVELOPMENT on XDA? Is it EVO? NEXUS? Who is the king of the hill?

Also, what phone is the successor in terms of development is it nexus s?g2?
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
the evo has a pretty deep community, in my opinion one of the best, i would also say that the motorola phones have good support and both nexus phones will continue to have very strong support. You can't go wrong with an evo in terms of the community and yes i have heard the epic has very scarce pickings
[EVO 4G General] kwg8t7:
Go check out the CDMA hero. It still has an incredible amount of dev support for being a "legacy" device. I chose the Evo over the epic essentially for the community here. I had a couple of bad experiences over in the epic subforum and decided that was enough.
[EVO 4G General] alekosy:
I own an EVO 4g, and I absolutely love it, I never turn off my phone, has long lasting batteries, and fosure runs great with the custom ROMs and kernels we have here from XDA.

If you get an EVO, make sure your absolutely setting time aside for your new EVO as it can be devastating not to correctly root your EVO the right way. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
Yea, I really want to be on a device that people actually care about not just having the best hardware
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
i can't speak for any other phones in regards to that, but i can tell you the evo has that, plus some trolls thrown in for good measure. you know you have arrived when you get trolls ;)
[EVO 4G General] Berat:
king is a strong word, but I think its one of the more preferred android devices just because of the potential power it has with the hardware, also it has a very strong community backing both on xda and devs websites. Not to mention the sprint network was rated #2 with consumer reports even beating out Verizon in some aspects. I know when the time comes to choose a new phone I want to make sure cyanogen has roms for it because I love CM!!!
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
To answer your question, I'd say it's fairly tied up between the EVO and Nexus One... Maybe even the Droid coming in a close third place.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I had an Epic 4G, I was impatient and went out and bought one the day they came out....ANYWAY....I then took my Epic back because it was a lemon....I had the Hero before my Epic and I knew the community was awesome for HTC Devices and I remember using Flipz ROM's on my Hero and remembered he went to the Evo so I returned my Epic, much to the dismay and whining of the Radioshack employees. I then went to a Sprint store a week later and got luck they had an Evo. I havent looked back since!
[EVO 4G General] bnapy:
Having been new to android, at the time of puchase of my Evo, I feel lucky to have chosen a device that has garnered such significant support n the development community. I got my Evo on day one solely on the fact that I knew this would be the best phone ever to touch the sprint network. With all the benifits of the Epic (hummingbird, amoled, & cam), having the likes of toast, cyanogen, caulkin, flip, myn, netchry, shinzul and all the other devs responsible for the awesome romz, kernals and themes make the Evo (and other similarly supported devices) king in the mobile world. I will base all my future mobile device purchases (phones & tablets) on whether they have similar support. I'd suggest everyone else do the same!
[EVO 4G General] jm5503:
Despite the technological advances of other devices....there has yet to be a device that has 4G, HDMI, a 4.3in screen, a large dev community, front facing cam, 720p recording, kickstand and the great build quality that the Evo has....so in my opinion yes the evo is still king...android 2.3 means nothing when u have devs that can port it over in a matter of hours....
[EVO 4G General] skinien:
These are all of the reasons that Im looking forward to getting rid of my galaxy s and grabbing an evo.
[EVO 4G General] patelkedar91:
Really? With the Nexus S coming up, the Galaxy S devices should be getting more dev work.

And I wish I could go to a Galaxy S phone. lol. I don't like the Evo's GPU.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
True can't change that however there is a great community and some pretty sweet software to run on her though
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I got a hold of a Nexus One about a week and a half ago. After messing around with it on XDA, if we're talking about the depth and especially quality of community support, the Nexus One wins.

Phone-wise the EVO would be the best if device IMO if not for the GPU weakness. All the features in the world just doesn't make up for something that's now so crucial for a smart phone. The EVO just came out at a bad time -- right at the end of the first gen Snapdragon. That's my own view, you might disagree so leave it at that.
[EVO 4G General] toprock23:
I've just rooted my phone and had it since launch day. The Evo was running stock for 5 months and was getting bored w/ it. I was extremely intimidated of rooting till I found unrevoked 3. Thanks to the xda community, I've become infatuated w/ this phone and I'm constantly flashing it :)
[EVO 4G General] pzvv:
I Just got my Evo this Christams eve. I used to be pretty deep into the Hero communty and was loving their roms and kernals (much respect to deca and darch). After moving to the Evo its almost overwhelming to see the size of the dev community here, and this is just one site! And yeah I understand that the only real weakness is the GPU buy Ive always known that the first gen snapdragons can still hold their own even today.

To be honest the only things I have trouble with is deciding whether or not to use my rubber case that I got with it. I want to protect it but I love the build quality of this device.

The Evo 4g will run strong as one of the top three Android phones for a least another 6 months. Thats almost certain.
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
I just got my evo four days ago and I am in heaven. I actualy made the jump to android using the samsung moment. I hated the device but loved android. So then I went back to my tp2. I have always loved my htc devices I have had in the past so when I found out target had the evos for 99 dollars last week I put my moment up on craigslist for 100 and sold it that afternoon. Went straight to target. I think after 4 days I am ready to root now.
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
I'm an epic user former hero user. I will say the epic is a beautiful phone with awesome hardware. The specs are definitely above what the evo has to offer but I enjoy trying different roms, talking with the community and just doing thing to improve my phones and the epic doesn't have that. The epic community also isn't as nice and helpful as the HTC community is, not even close. So in saying that I am actually going to be trading my Epic with a friend that has an Evo. I'm sure I will miss somethings about the Epic but I won't miss Samsung jerking us on updates and the just plain nasty demeanor of the Epic community folks.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Only a matter of time before the Nexus S takes over in dev. support. =(
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Hopefully just a migration of the nexus one devs
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
Technology changes every week. Nothing can stay on top for too long. Enjoy the wave now; but don't doubt that there will be support and devs for a long time to come. Case in point; the htc hero forums.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
i read.. that carriers are staying away from the Nexus S... Google will not let carriers add in bloatware.

with the failure of Nexus 1 to get a huge public usage.

with the samsung... repeat of support...

Nexus S will have a hard time getting traction...

that will affect the number of developers....

which affect its community...

EVO...still going strong!
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Nexus S already has T-Mobile as a carrier. Add in that nearly all phones are carrier specific and I think that's a non-issue.

It also roots in one-line. It's intentionally left effectively unlocked.

The biggest question for me is if a ROM community will develop for a phone that gets direct updates from Google. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that custom ROMs to remove bloat is precisely why I rooted my phone. That and not paying extra for a wifi hotspot. If both of these things are just handed to me ... what does the dev. community really give me? Few custom kernels for the die hard?

So I guess I question if a big dev. community will form for the Nexus S .... but then I also question if one is even needed (shrug).
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
Agreed. HTC generally has better support than Samsung, for example.

Swyped from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] rwcj63:
Was that a poor attempt at a joke?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You just got to look at the Nexus One forum to answer that question. Just in case you're lazy, the community is huge - bigger than the EVO's and definitely of higher quality I'd say. And it makes sense, the Nexus devices are the most appealing to devs/geeks. A lot of development on the EVO (which shares the same CPU/GPU) is splash off from the N1 forum.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
The EVO dev scene is pretty big at the moment and doesn't show signs of slowing just yet. One of the major reasons I got it.

I tend to pick my phones based on the dev scene. :)
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
+1

Although I have my foot in both camps...

Swyped from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
You lucky SOB. ;)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdoughone:
On my N1, I used vrecorder and when I had the phone call on speaker phone it recorded fine. The widget worked well. Vrecorder does not show up in the market for me with the NS. Anyone know a good app to use? Everything I tried does not work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdoughone:
Anyone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
vrecorder must be a protected app. It should show once Google fixes the Market to recognize our phones.

Meanwhile, if you're rooted, there are ways to change the build.prop file to make them show for you. I'll leave that for other threads, where it's well explained and easily found with the search.

I don't have a specific app recommendation for you, though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdoughone:
Vrecorder shows up in the market now. It doesn't record calls good though. I think the Nexus One recorder calls better while on speaker phone because there was a second Michael near the speaker. While on speaker phone with the Nexus S and recording, you can't hear the other end when you play the recording.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlankLongBeard:
Google Voice... Press 4 During a Call to Start / End =)

Then you can find them in recordings online or via the app.

Enjoy!

Been wondering about that via Google Voice.

After reading more info about it. Looks like any calls initiated by you can't be recorded.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlankLongBeard:
Yeah... that's the only way to use the feature... Maybe if you do the call back option as well without the app. I do know it works well... used if for skits and such... =)

One-way recording

Before, when I was using Galaxy S, it was possible to record during a call.

But it was only possible one-way recording, that means, only my voice.

Now, with my Nexus S, it is not possible to record at all during a call.

There is no sound.

Anyone know my?

[Captivate General] defriend:
Hi,

I have a Captivate (rooted and unlocked). When I updated to JH7 a few months ago, the unlock was lost. However, I had written down the ulock code from before, and it worked again.

Now, I got a new captivate for my wife, which came with JH7 preloaded. I have tried searching the forum and used the SGS unlock tool with no luck. With so many posts, I am all confused now. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Regards

Nick
[Captivate General] jambrous:
I use this to root....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751182&highlight=unleash+beast

then search for one click decrippler, that is what i used to enable sideloading.....or flash a rom that has it built in.
[Captivate General] defriend:
Thanks.. but I don;t see how this will help me "unlock" the phone i.e, enable me to use the phone on ANY GSM carrier.

[Captivate General] jfclk33:
I am on JH7 and I used the One Click Root for Captivate by TGA_Gunnman and it worked like a charm. I can't find the link for it right now, but I will look later and edit this post if/when I find it. Once the phone was rooted, I was able to use the Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool from the market successfilly.

Found it. This is what I used to root the phone:

Every single one of them are failing @ System.

I have flashed many roms and have yet to see this issue.

I have even tried to install a nandroid and they say system.img not found, skipping restore of System

my quadrant before doing anything was ~950 so im assuming no lagfix was present.

no, i typically never do.

i have a stock eclair rooted nandroid but eh.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccdoggy:
Going back to stock is the only safe way to install a rom imo.

Do a proper stock install and watch all the roms work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:

im just trying to learn why. it all started when i went to install SetiroNs 1.4.6 cwm

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Because it is the phone...not the rom or kernel...unless you had a bad flash to begin with.

This is why it is recommended when switching to different roms...and even sometimes flashing updates to certain roms ...that it is the most prudent thing to do, to head off these types of issues that come up sometimes. It is also recommended to do a master clear as well...and I usually go one step further and wipe and format the drives and do a factory reset. Sometimes doing it more than just once too. It may be a royal PITA...but...the alternative is what you are experiencing it seems...

[Nook Color General] rlkelley:
So, I am somewhat knowledgeable (can follow directions without bricking other devices), and have searched these forums, but I think they noise has gotten to be too much. Here is what I am looking for:

What, if any, functionality is lost by rooting?

I just want to make sure I do not lose any abilities or features that I am not expecting.
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
No functionality is lost.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Actually, many people have reported that the B&N In-Store functionalities are lost (i.e. 1 hour free reading per book per day in store, free book/cafe offers, etc.)
[Nook Color General] mrsims2007:
I can also confirm that the loss of in-store and cafe offers is something I have experienced.
[Nook Color General] rlkelley:
Lost functionality....

So I guess for now I will delay rooting until a way is discovered (if ever) to avoid not being able to get the free hour per day. I work near a B&N location, so it is convenient to spend my lunches there reading stuff I don't have to buy.
[Nook Color General] BayouBlue:
I've got that issue

After rooting, I cannot get Barnes and Noble "Shop" application to do anything. It just sits and spins.

When I look at Settings -> About Your NOOKcolor, it says both Owner and Account is "Unavailable"

Not sure how to get that part working. Would like to look at the ebooks and mags available from BN
[Nook Color General] rsptexas:
Note that "many" people have reported the in-store problem, but "not everyone" ... I for one, still have full in-store access and no problems with the "Shop" B&N features and downloading. Thus, there is something "funny" going on in the rooting process or differences in Nook Color versions of software or hardware that is causing various rooting quirks ... all the more reason, I mentioned in another thread, that auto-nooter or other rooting packages should be kept simple, e.g., a Vanilla version without add on keyboards, laychers, live wallpaper, etc, as it would be a lot easier to track any bugs
[Nook Color General] tabletfever:
Silly question but, how do you know if in-store function is working? How can I choose, in my Nook, to read a book on my free one hour a day?
[Nook Color General] Musicman247:
Quick question:

I have rooted and everything is working fine (except YouTube, but that's not the reason for this post). I wondered if I installed LauncherPro on my NookColor if I would still be able to add books from my library to the home screen like the default home.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] rlkelley:
Could you enter the discussion on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860830

[Nook Color General] hypoxichypoxic:
argh, thanked the wrong post due to a browser glitch!

meant to thank rsptexas post and mention that i too have no issues launching the B&N store after rooting and agree that simpler is better for auto-rooting.

one thing these 'many people' don't mention is what firmware they were running originally, what method they used to 'root' their device, and what extra addons they put after cracking the thing open. way too many variables there to just say rooting breaks B&N store functionality.
[Droid 2 Global General] ElectroManiac:
Hello.

I want to get this phone unlock to use it on my country (Venezuela) on a gsm carrier (Movistar). Their 3g band is 1900 mhz umts.

Will this phone work with no problem down here on Venezuela? Will the 3g work with no problem?

I'm deciding between this phone and a nexus one.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
You should have no problem using it, only problem is when people try to use it with US carriers, people have already used it outside the US without a problem, you just need the unlock codes I believe

Hy guys,

i've a problem with my father's tytn2:

he brought the phone one year ago, and i've discovered that comes with a cooked rom that doesn't work very well (incoming call and wifi problems).

Yesterday (ex leo owner and not totally noob) i decided to try a new rom but i can't understand looking inside the hard drive of the phone if the precedent owner use SSPL or HSPL

of course i don't won't to run the risk to brick the phone, so i decided to follow a guide and first flash a shipped rom then install a cooked rom...

i prepared the files descripted in the noobs guide and try to flash the shipped HTC rom, but after i sync the phone and after i start to flash the phone get out of the sync mode

i can just arrive at the screen with the trasfering file, but the counter stay still to 0% and the phone sync off alone

i do everything with windows vista but i can use XP and seven, if you tell me that there is a stranger incompability...

someone could help me solving this mistake?

i've never had this problem mounting and unmounting the HD2 :D

thanks a lot everyone, and compliments o the chefs for their incredibile job :D

sorry for the bad english, but i'm italian =)

Well you might try to flash off the sd card. Rename your rom to kaisimg.nbh place it in the root of your sd card and then restart the phone while keeping the camera button pressed...and follow the instructions on the screen.

[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
Does anyone have experience charging the battery?

I was using the phone it went dry, as in

I did get the warning that i only have 10% left / 5 % left and then i kept using it until it pop up a message saying

"To prevent damage to the phone, it will now turn off"

and off it goes

but when i plug it back to the USB cable, it got no sign of charging, no light, or indication of any kind.

if i try to turn on the phone, only the Soft buttons lid up, but it doesn't do anything.

Also when i had it plugged directly into the wall, it was not shown as charging, when the phone is ON and running the OS.

but now that the phone is completely OFF, when i plug in the USB charger directly to the wall then it shows the Battery Bar @ 5% for only a brief moment and then goes back off
