So I've had enough of the G4. It just doesn't support development and it makes me very sad. I've bought an HTC 10 which is arguably the most developer friendly phone right now. (besides Nexus of course) I'm sorry to be going as I really thought the G4 had potential. It's obvious now-it does not. If anyone would like to take over my development projects, (MellowMallow roms) please let me know. I'm still happy to help out, but will not be actively developing anything for the G4 any longer.
Miss you guys,
tabp0le
You're a great dev, Tabp0le. Currently rocking your ZVB ROM which is keeping this forsaken phone bearable to me. You definitely deserve greener pastures than this and am looking forward to trying whatever you develop for the HTC 10 which may be my escape as well.
Eff the G4, see you on the other side!
I agree! This phone is gone as soon as the new Nexus or Pixel phones hit the market! I am so done with LG that I will never own another of their products!
Ive been kickin my s6 pretty ritcheous phone but horrible bttery
Don't blame you, the G4 is awful. Can't wait until I can switch! Good luck to you.

Your decision is completely understandable. I am disappointed for those of us still stuck with our G4s, but know you will make a great contribution in the HTC forums. Good luck and God speed. Thanks for all your efforts.

I seriously want to be the first person on this thread to thank you guys for working on this. I cant wait to see what comes from this!
Subscribed! Will be checking in!
I'm waiting for the Android port too. Thanks to all those people working on it! Hopefully it will be done as soon as possible because I can't wait till I can run Linux on my Rhodium.

What's up pimpin I was going to bring it back in already but might as well give it another week lol This with Android is going to be ill!
I love ANDROID
Cool stuff.....
I love Android
Props for starting the thread....
BUT....
I CANT STAND AMERICAN STREET SLANG!!!!
ITS DUMBING DOWN THE WORLD AS IT EATS IN EVERY TV SHOW AND RADIO BROADCAST!
Kids in London all walking around "word up pimpin'?"
Word UP PIMPING!!! PIM<PING!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean - pimps are a BAD part of society. They are only there because of the stupid laws that mean there is no such thing as a SAFE LEGAL sex worker.
But Android WILL ROCK!!!
id like to help but i havent programed in 6 years... and i kind of fail at using linux on my laptop. (so i use windows) i havent yet used android but i assume its alot better a os then winmobile... wm6.5 ect makes me wish i has symbion on my phone at times... just because of how laggy it is.
This thread is great, but could someone post a quick status update? Ideally, the first post should indicate a few main points so people don't have to read all of the chatter to find the basic info.
A few things that would be nice to have on post #1:
Overview of project
Status
Blocking issues
Help needed from community
(dare I say) ETA?
Is this just a wishful thread or is something really happening ?
+ for the project.
i agree with paulbram!!
For a fully working Android port to TP2 I would definitely donate some cash!
And probably more than me would do the same.
I just got my TP2 last week. Must say that i am liking. Anyways wanna give out a shout out to all my peeps, chuck up the deuce and to all them chicken heads out there, keep flapping your gums!
p.s. ^ that was just a joke. But hopefully we do get some developing going on with this badboy.
Please keep in mind those of us on CDMA networks!
Thanks!

Here here. I'm brand new to this stuff for phones, but I have a ton of linux/windows experience and an HTC tp2 so if you need me to break (ok hopefully not) my (CDMA) phone testing something, I'm down.
Who is actually doing work on this? I mean, we can have a thread about this and talk all day, but if nobody works on it. Wish I had the knowledge to program this..
Not just a wishlist
this thread was started because the other 30 pages posted were on a poll thread...cr2 i think is to a point where he/she is now lab testing. i think the got dumps from both GSM & CDMA.anyway, i can't wait to get this port...
Let me 1st say a huge thank you to dzo and all the devs I have been following the vouge andoid from .9 - 2.2 from sd loading to nand flashing, from having to boot data in windows defore booting in to android, from the bule keyboard to rouge tools, and it has been a hell of a ride. The vouge was my 1st smart phone and I hated wm6 but android open up new doors, and hacking became a way of life. Im sad to say I was always in the background chicking for the next update, and never more then an end user. But everyone here always made me feel welcomed. I will miss my vouge thank you all for never letting it die and taking it places I never dreamed. I will miss all of you the most
however all things must come to an end, and im moving on with my new toy. I just picked a samsung galaxy s and will be joining that group. Thank you all again for last 2 years
Nate
Can we get a hip-hip hooray?
It's alright, boy. Some day most of us will move to another device. By the way, how did you get your Samsung Galaxy S? I want one used and cheap
Welcome to the sgs club
Hope you enjoy the new phone! Congrats!

Jamezelle, congrats on the modship!
I must say, going from my tilt with 2.2 to the sgs with 2.1 was a little bit of a disappointment but it's a great phone. Although I wish the community was as great as this one was.

hey Mssmison are you doing any development for SGS
i have the Verizon Fascinate and i know you are not in the US but i was hoping we might have a developer with you kind of back ground
if you bo build a Rom, will it work for Verizon (crosses fingers), let me know if you need any testers
got to dump this touchwiz crap they even build "bing" in to it
i never though i would see the day where "bing" would be the default search on an android
its so odd to go from 2.2 on my vogue to 2.1 on my SGS
that is why i will miss this group
everyone here worked so hard and got out updates so fast i think this is the best group on xda

i agree so that means we need to make it great
i just wish it was all one group because having it broken up by US carrier seams point less it would be easier for everyone to work together if it was one group
if you star developing roms and you need a tester for Verizon Fascinate let me know would love to get the SGS group working as well as this one did

i got my SGS from Best Buy in the US
and it was Free!!! which is the biggest reason i got this phone
Best Buy is running a deal where every Friday for the month of Oct. they are offering a different phone from each US carrier for free with a new 2 year contract
my contract with Verizon ended months ago and just like you i was waiting for a great deal because i was not going to pay $200 for a new phone when i had my vouge that worked great
I've also been following the development here. I am so very thankful for everyones hard work towards making the vogue as up to date as it can be. I last ran Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] before my phone broke. Somehow the charger I used at work fried the thing and I had to move on. I now have an xperia x10a. I have some mixed feelings about the thing but I guess it is upgrade enough. Anyway. Thanks again. I will still keep reading most of the stuff here on the vogue. That thing was pretty good to me.
when i see posts like this it saddens me because i know there is one less user to continue the legacy of the 6900. however it gladdens me that individuals will keep up with technology.
brings to mind a saying i got from my dad... all technology gets out dated - at that point we can chose to keep it alive for something else, or toss it.
he made that comment to me when my 486box turned Unix bit the big one via lightning strike.
good luck on your new journey sir- congrats on your new technology- may it suit you well.
Hey guys,
I've been out of the loop a little while and I wanted to ask the community for their opinions on how well the HTC one will be supported by the XDA/ROM community. Specifically the dev edition. Have any key players publicly supported this yet?
Most of my experience has been on a nexus device of some kind and I've been spoiled. However with the direction nexus is taking now I think it's time to step away.
My experience with the HTC ruby was dismal, and if ROMing etc is going to be anything like that it's dibs out for me. That being said I'm a long time fan of HTC hardware. The nexus one is a tank that can just keep on taking.
I appreciate any info you can give on the subject.
Can't really say how as most people here still don't have their devices yet.
I heard codeworx is getting one and he's a key player I think.

I was reading up a bit more on the forums. Seems like this is getting a lot of traction on the preorder threads! I guess we'll see what happens with the community.
I saw your kernel post last night too. Hell yeah. I'd love to see more kernel work.
Now to figure out how to get this to Canada.
A LOT of great devs are purchasing this phone. Development is not something to worry about.
Nice nice! Music to my ears.. (o;
PS - I love toaster strudels:good:

The kernel source was posted today from HTC. Have they ever posted driver source?
How on earth do the coders work around no driver sources?
Hey devs and gals... I feel like i'm new with HTC again since I've been a Samsung user for the last few years. Yet I decided to get an M8 and Sprint gave me a good deal with HKE...
So me having experience with rom and theming development for GSM Samsung phones yet I feel like a totally noob here with HTC and specially with it being CDMA network...
I did a lot of roms porting back in the day for Samsung phones too.. Again I would like to ask devs if they won't mind add me to their team or individual dev to help me out on refreshing my mind about how things work for HTC and CDMA network so I/we can start rom development.
101 views and no answer? Are y'all not interested?
Sorry I'm not a dev but thanks for offering your help

I do this for fun.. However when I used to be a Samsung user devs seems more friendly, we were like a big forum family lol.
We would help each other out.. It was not like who did it first or to each its own.
Maybe that is why this forum is like dead pretty much. There is no lots of devs an they dont seem to care or help anyone else.
If this was like on Samsung forum we would have a SENSE/LP rom up and running a long time ago.
I'm personally trying to get it to work for me. But being new to CDMA I have no idea how it works. But will get there eventually.
What exactly are you trying to figure out? You seemed a bit general in the post [emoji14]

All the devs that I'm in regular communication with are open to helping, but not giving hand outs, I was accepted by TensaiLabs based on what I was trying to do and the very specific questions that I asked. That being said I haven't dove into porting too much so I'm not much help but from what I know and what little help I was with the sense 6 port for the LTE you have to edit build.prop, change libs, and add in sprint files and boot.img
Do we have any active developers currently looking into this device or looking to attempt rooting this one or is that currently a dead scene, thanks to everyone here.
I might possibly pick the v40 soon if not today.

Little screenshots for everyone
This will come soon enough. Except for Nexus/Pixel phones and the like, it takes some amount of time for development to really take hold. The hold-up for the V40 is that LG has not made the bootloader able to be unlocked. If I had to guess, it will probably take a couple of months. IIRC, that is approximately how long it took for the G7 to be made unlockable. After that, expect another month or two before developers start getting much stuff out there.
For me, at least, the phone is good enough out of the box that it will probably take about that long before I start getting bored with it. Luckily, it's far less heavily themed than Samsung's Touchwiz, and there is a relatively small amount of bloatware that came on it!
