[Q] Bored with the Captivate?

Was just wondering if anyone else was bored with their Captivate.
The next "big" thing will be when Samsung/AT&T decide to give us our last update for this phone. Then what?

I stopped depending on AT&T after the whole froyo fiasco. I've been a flash-aholic ever since and can't see myself ever going back.
Once Samsung releases the source code for GB, custom roms will only be even better.
Thx devs!

If you haven't ever flashed a custom rom then I can see how boredom could set in. I have been a flashoholic since the first month I got the phone. Tried out fixed 2.1 roms, then all the original 2.2 roms, then CM7 on one phone and 2.3.4/2.3.4 roms on my second cappy. The ONLY WAY any phone will be better is the SGS2 when it comes out. While at a ATT store I tested my cappy running g CM7 OC/uv'd to 1400Mhz against the newest Motorola and my phone was just a Tad faster out of three speedtest and CPU test I performed. I showed it to the att workers and they were surprised how good mine works compared to the Motorola that has dual core cpu's. So I WONT BE giving up on my Cappy until SGS2 comes out and then it will be my backup fo sho. Secondly if you become a flashoholic it is like having a NEW and improved phone almost every day. Thanks to CM7 and Apex

Don't get me wrong, I've flashed more than my share of roms. Maybe it's time to try my hand at themeing.

Any work on jelly bean 4.0

I was reading about jelly bean and I like the stuff you can do for notification bar and overall performance so I was wondering if any devs have there sights on this

Will we be able to use the source from the Nexus when that update is released...or will we have to wait for AT&T (or whichever carrier) to release their version of it?

So you guys do think that we will at some point get a jellybean rom?

Considering the GSM Galaxy Nexus came out before our device, and the fact its being updated...I wouldn't see any reason our device can't get in on the JellyBean fun.

Yes it may have come out before the vivid but the current and new nexus phones always get the current and new Android OS cause its Googles phones. The NExus came out with ICS out of the box, our vivid did not. It came with gingerbread. So Im sure if we do get a Jelly Bean OTA there will be a JB port before hand. That has always been my experience phones that already received an OS update before a new OS came out. Like with Froyo to GB or GB to ICS.

There isn't any reason why we shouldn't, after all my Captivate shipped with 2.1, and was on 2.3.5 after 2 updates, but it was sold in different times. When I got my Captivate the market for android phones wasn't near as saturated, and the Captivate was AT&Ts Galaxy S varient, only like their 5th android phone, and the other 4 were outdated teeny bopper texting toys. The Captivate was a no brainer for anyone who wanted a serious android phone in 2010 and wanted to stay on at&ts network. The result was a ton of owners, top notch xda support, and 2 major software updates as AT&T knew our contract would end eventually and wanted to keep us as customers.
Now times are different. The Vivid was one of many really, in fact it didn't even get the first LTE phone on at&ts network distinction, instead it had to share that with the skyrocket. And now the one x is out and the Vivid is kind of following in its shadow, not to mention HTC is struggling for business and is falling behind on upgrading other phones ie the rezound that came out the same time. I could see us being one and done. I hope we at least get a patch to deal with bugs at some point but I'm not holding my breath for jb

HTC released this statement.
"We are excited about Android Jelly Bean and are planning to support it across a variety of our devices. We are reviewing the software to determine our upgrade plans and schedule, so please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans."
you can find the story at android central (i cant post links yet )
Maybe we will get an OTA before a port....

Yeah either way it'll take a while, it always does.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

I came from the Samsung Infuse and when samsung said they were going to release an OTA it meant that there was no way the end user was going to get it. Either AT&T blocks it or Samsung never sent it. Thats why I am happy with HTC. The last couple of HTC devices have been pretty good with OTAs

My vivid was the shortest wait ever but as a flyer owner they aren't always so great :'(
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

You really think the Vivid will receive an OTA JB update? I highly doubt it. I'm just wondering if we will get a port.

To some extent yeah I could see it just because there are a lot of snapdragon s3 Htc phones out there so porting to our device isn't hard, and It's not very old. But I also could see us being one and done too as the one line is supposed to be a new beginning for HTC and that's their primary focus no doubt. But if we don't get it than I can't see any other phone HTC s3 based phone getting it either.

OTA- Huge possibility
Port- definitely
Only question is which shall come first?

You know what I bet we will get it. The Vivid was AT&TS flagship HTC phone until the one x and HTC will want us to upgrade to another HTC phone when our contract is up. But at the same time our ics Rom needs a stability and performance update, and if they gave us that instead I'd be happy

You only void your warranty if they can prove you flashed a custom Rom

[Q] HTC M7 on Three UK - Stock Image

Hi,
First post here, new to Androids from Apple... I've never flashed a ROM or anything similar, I have a Nexus 4 and just bought a HTC M7 locked on Three. It looks like Three have customised (or added) stuff to the latest version - I have two questions.
1) How do I remove the Three ROM and replace with stock HTC
2) Is it possible to get vanilla 4.2.2 JB on this device?
Please go easy, trying to learn

If you search in these forums you'll find the answers to all your questions mate

Start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38933080 to find what you need
Do a lot of research, read everything multiple times and then once more to be sure.
Take things nice and slow and you will be fine, things are a lot safer these days than they used to be especially if your backing up (which you will want to be doing)
P.s. make sure you understand the pros and cons also of what you are doing and learn how to get back to stock

Could an offical JB ROM finally be on its way?

AT&T Notes get theirs tomorrow. Hopefully we get ours too/soon, maybe like the S2 did.

That's making a big assumption. T-Mobile may not even be thinking about JB for our phones. After all, they didn't sell very many of them to begin with. They may be focusing on getting updates out to their more popular phones (GSIII and Note II).
I would love to see JB from T-Mo, but i'm not holding my breath. Plus, with CM10 and Carbon ROM already at 4.2.2, it's not like we don't have decent JB options.

I would love to try a touchwiz based jb ROM though. But that means I would have to go back to stock unless ptmr wants to update his Jedi leader ROM if we even get jb... I don't see that happening though

S suite / touch wiz and wifi calling is what I miss on CM.

The closest thing I can suggest would be to flash the at&t version but use the "blaze" modem. If you do go this route make sure that the one that you flash is prerooted that way you can remove the at&t bloatware. Now you will loose the WiFi calling until someone can go through both two versions to find where the "WiFi calling" is located

Actually there are about 20k of this model in the wild. T Mobile made a deal with Samsung in order to get a jump on the Galaxy 4 they literally bought enough of this model to fill a warehouse. T Mobile then turned around and contracted their sales out to places like Costco and Wal-Mart where they are still being sold at a discounted price.

I wouldn't mind flashing the AT&T JB if it will fly - just to see what the feel is like.
I am quite dependent on WIFI calling, but I can always reflash the original and reload my apps I guess.
if anyone has already done this: if there are kinks, could you please post back?

If it does one out I would like to see what is different because from what I understand the Canada version has the pop out browser which the att version doesn't meanwhile both are missing the nav panel and multi Window

Wifi Calling is the only one I miss with CM based AvatarROM. The S Suite are just something there that I used 10% of the time. And I hated touchwiz. It makes my phone sllloooowwww and buggy. I'm loving my ROM now its fast, although not as smooth but still very stable.

I agree with that statement and I have wondered is there a way to compare the touchwiz from the att room and the touchwiz from tmobile to find the difference? I would be more than happy to wade through the code myself is someone could point me into the proper direction.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium HD app

just reading around the web, the JB release I think is inevitable. i717, s3 and s2 are out, the international version N7000 is out in some parts of the world [not all], so, its just t-mo that is slow at this point. could be any day, any hour.
then we'll all figure out what we hate about it and resume complaining....

Good point......
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I'm frankly on the fence here - reading through the AT&T version group's collective notes - I dunno what the gain is with JB.
that its new? there are a number of folks that have had troubles [this is not unusual - check google for any sort of notes on 'upgrade to jelly bean'] - shorter battery life, jerky performance, hangs, lags.
I am VERY happy with the stock/rooted/debloated performance I'm getting.
we just picked up a GS3. I was set to be dazzled by its performance etc and spent hours getting it nuked to the bone, then installing, rooting, debloating. To me, its not worth the extra money compared to what I paid for the note 1. there is neglible performance difference [i'm not gaming, so take that into consideration]. side by side, any fool on earth would pick the Note's display, not just because its bigger but it looks startlingly gorgeous next to the GS3. The GS3 had a bunch of wifi connectivity issues. I don't know if I have them all squashed yet or not - jury is still out.
there's more "interference ware" on the GS3 - things that are scanning in the background to tell you all sorts of dangers are lurking. some I could uninstall safely, some not. the Note, the way I have it config'd, is 'quiet' by comparison.
battery life looks like the Note wins so far. will know better once the GS3 is finalized and real use occurs a lot.
if it were strictly my call, I'd trade the 3 for another note 1.
jellybeans or not.... i prefer beefsteak.

What about beefsteak flavored jellybeans?

Thats true but we will always have problems until they release the official JB, we all suffer from the random reboots followed by the blue screen when running these roms....Im using rooted stock, that way I know everything works instead of finding out when I need to use a feature.

[Q] HTC One Sense UI / Launcher

Hi im not sure if this has been asked before or not, but i just wanted to know if it is possible to run a different launcher or UI on the HTC One? I am trying to make the decision to buy one after too many faulty Nexus 5's. What i would find ideal is to have the HTC One running Android KitKat 4.4.2 with Nova Launcher, is this possible? Also what are some of the best custom kernels one would recommend, i am used to Dev's like Franco & Faux, anything out there as good if not better for the HTC One??
Thanks in advance

Yes you can use any launcher you want. AFAIK the sense widgets won't work with them though

Great, thanks. Have you already got your KitKat update? How long does it usually take to get the Android updates on this device?

Not long at all if your installing ROMS. We don't usually wait as long as non root users so for updates. That's why I don't usually bother with update times when picking an android device because I'll always be a root user and get updates before everybody else.

For all I know everybody is praising HTC for they're quick update times on the One. I'm not 100% sure but I believe we recieved KitKat before any other Android device (Besides the Nexus 5 ofcourse)
