This has been a great experience for me and my HEROC. Thanks to all the DEVS that supported this phone to the end.
I have recently upgraded my HEROC to a EVO SHIFT. Hopefully, I will see some of you over the Evo Shift Forums and we could all start over.
Looking forward to rooting, roming, and to the development of this new phone. I'll check back once in a while to see what kind of progreess the Heroc is getting.
Take care y'all...
I also came from a hero. This phone, imho, was a great upgrade. The physical keyboard is a super bonus to what the phone can do. It is way faster than the hero and can perform just as well as the Evo. Of course that is debatable. For me, I do like the smaller screen compare to the evo/epic. The camera is decent for a 5mp with flash. Being a second gen snapdragon, can't wait for the new development to start.
Fyi this is not a development topic

I wish we could get the Darch/Deca combo dev over here! I love the roms and kernels those guys always put together.

You gonna make your way over to the shift impaler? Or you sticking with the Hero?
edit: Nevermind I see your using an Epic. Maybe one of these days you can make some themes etc. for the Shift. I like the green/white cirlce battery mod you made me for the Hero.

There was mention earlier on in the thread that Darch may be coming.
I just read on the Hero forum that Deca may be going over to the Optimus S.

Tell me you're still within 30 days for you to return the Epic for an Evo Shift, we sure could use someone like you around this section of the forum,

No chance of me leaving the Epic, but I'm sure when rooted custom roms come out for this I'll do some battery mods for my app

Does the Optimus S even have its own forum on here yet? If so I can't seem to find it. I know there's a couple for it located on Android Central and Android Forums. Here on xda, I do see a little bit of Optimus S stuff in the 'Optimus One P500' forum -- is that it for now? Thanks, Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. Also sorry for the thread hijack, I won't mention this again here on the Evo Shift forum.
Well, this Heroc to Evo Shift move may not be a done deal for me now that Sprint's got something planned for the 7th of Feb. What about you guys...?
I'm loving this phone. I came from heroc and I'm glad to know sense can be good... if your phone is fast enough to run it haha.

No doubt there, Sense seems fine on this phone compared to my Hero. I came from the Hero, and upgraded my wife's Moment to the Shift also. My wife said something funny about that last night, "They called it the Moment because it only works for a moment." EPIC!! lol
I'm enjoying it, came from a Heroc. Sense is really ruining the experience for me though, even with ADW it just isn't as good as stock or CM6/7. I'm,hoping it gets root soon or its back to the hero.

Feb 7th? As far as I know there aren't any new phones in production other than the blackberry and the HTC Windows phone.

That would be pretty awesome.
Will the Evo Shift ever get an update like Gingerbread, Sense 2.whatever (Desire HD/Inspire/Thunderbolt), or Sense 3 (Evo 3D sense)? Has anyone said that this will or would not happen?
Really hoping on it. I don't why HTC shipped this with the older version of sense. Maybe for gingerbread update???

That would make sense (no pun intended ). After all the two new flagship products by Sprint are the Nexus S and EVO 3D so they'll want to push Gingerbread as a feature on those phones before they upgrade the Shift. I doubt they'll update the original EVO though. But in the mean time there's always CM7 and the other 3rd party Gingerbread ROMs. :3

I'm pretty sure the EVO 3D will become the new flagship product when its released this summer and over shadow the popularity of the original EVO. Even if the whole 3D thing doesn't take off its still a superior design and you can bet Sprint will be pushing that fact.

There's no way that the EVO or EVO Shift won't receive @ least the next 2 O/S updates. The backlash that would result if it doesn't would be ridiculous, even by Sprint standards.
Thats what they said about the moment too and that didn't turn out well lol

Even the Moment got updated from 1.6 to 2.1. It really would be absurd for the Evo Shift to not at get at least one OS update.

I'm pretty sure the Shift will get the next update or 2 as it came out recently. The EVO has been around a while though and the EVO 3D looks as if its been purposely designed to be the original EVO's successor. From a business standpoint it doesn't make sense to continue long-term support for a device that has been replaced. Its with that in mind that I say I doubt the EVO will get Gingerbread.

The evo hasn't even been out for a year.... it makes sense to update products in order to keep current customers happy and willing to keep a contract with you.

Yeah, and with googles new 18 month lifetime policy, who knows what the og evo will get.

I really doubt that the Evo Shift will get a major update anytime soon to Gingerbread 2.3.3 or something. But it makes me wonder what Google is going to do with their new Ice Cream Sandwich version that was mentioned at I/O
There is a leak in the dev section for 2.3.3 gingerbread with sense 2.1. Reupping now if you want to try. Not the first post, read the later ones for a flashable zip.

One o fthe things I dont get is why HTC uses some of their own apps, when the Google supplied ones are clearly much better - for example, Gallery versus HTC's Gallery.

Clearly to you. Many people disagree. I prefer Goog's but only because of Picasa integration.

finally a (possible) upadate for the shift 4g
head over to android central to see the new gingerbread leak on the evo shift 4g, if this is true then the shift is going to run so much faster with sense 2.1

The AC thread about the thread that's already posted here on XDA?
^ Shift Faced
Hey guys I'm coming from the HTC inspire to HTC evo. Over at the inspire forums they have a super one click option to take s off and root the device it was very simple with video instructions as well. What's the easiest way you guys have here to root the evo? I was looking at a thread but it has about 50 steps any other way around that? Is there a super one click option?
unfortunately... those of us with the OTA update are stuck with rootless EVO's...
the fortunate users had previously rooted their phones with a drag and drop i believe... (don't take my word on that, i joined the root sensation a little late... hence my rootless phone) but i think it was like 5 steps er so... it didn't look too bad and it was even easier for you if your on a linux platformed pc with unrevoked er sumthing like that...
either way the EVO is an outstanding phone and i stand by it, until something better comes out... (not the nexus s)
If you have a android 2.2 model go to http://unrevoked.com/#evo for the easiest to use tool around.
If you have android 2.3.3 go to http://vaseline.com/ and lube up because you are screwed until someone releases an exploit

IT seems some best buys still have 2.2 stock they are pushing. Who knows how long this will last
so you guys don't have a way to go back to stock not even with h boot? That sucks man. I'll probably stay with the inspire for now. HTC sense comes with stock 2.3 and they got "s" off already according to HTC clay on twitter I hope soon some dev will root the new evo with 2.3

I'm switching to sprint because I don't get great signal at work. They have an sprint antenna on the roof and anyone that has a sprint phone can run 4g all day long and also I like the front facing camera too something that the inspire don't have.

Maybe this will be the root solution for the folks who are on 2.3.3.
Nice post man this better be good. I already have root but still be cool if they released it for the shift. But if it is a root solution it'll probably be evo 3D or EVO not the shift but fingers crossed right?

I'm fully rooted, but maybe this will mean we can get a lower level root, similar to the Evo 4G, where we can take system updates, and then just re-flash a recovery, and gain our root back.
I know Shinzul's twitter mentioned about the OG Evo, and the Shift being tested, so not sure if it will mean the tool will work right away, or if there will be more testing to be done for the Shift.
I hope so, need to nuke me some bloatware...
This is in no way a bookmark so I can come back to the same thread/link after I get home from work Excited to see what is in store.

I think this more directly refers to the teamwin recovery that is being built, but you can't flash a recovery without being s-off (technically), so I'm going to go with the glass half-full philosophy.

if not the evo shift yet what about the evo 4G?? cause it says the evo 3d works. im running 2.3.3 gingerbread on it and i got the phone like that. been looking for a way to root my 4G for weeks now...
Getting my speedy this week, I am excited to see if it comes with 2.3 will this also be out to support it in time.

according to the list, the Korean version of the Evo will get an ICS update. Does that mean we will most likely get a port to the normal Evo? Every Evo on sprint anyways is getting an ICS update, hopefully the community has not forgot about us and will help out

Probably not. Evo 4g+ is different in specs compared to our phone's. It has the same specs basically as the evo 3d. Might as well port straight from the regular evo 3D then wait for a Evo 4g + ota or leak

The HTC page that details the upgrades also says this:
What devices will not get Android 4.0?
We work hard to ensure each of our products has the optimal user experience and therefore some products will remain at their current version of Android. In general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0. These devices include the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer, and others.

I looked at our specs, and we have a 1GB ROM, which implies that our device should get the upgrade at some point.

The evo4g has been put on End Of Life status via sprint so it will not be receiving any OS updates, the only things it will receive if any are security patches on the 2.3.5 platform and maybe a push to 2.3.6 at the highest. It will never see an official ICS update, from HTC or sprint due to sprint classifying it as EOL
We are legion, for we are many.
