Samsung Epic on Sprint? - EVO 4G General

Saw this phone at the Sprint store the other day and really liked the version of Android it was running. Seemed like the icons and display were more vibrant and it also had the weather inside the notification menu. Is there anyone who has ported this over to the Evo or is it even possible?

I believe you might be the only person that wants touchwiz ported to the evo,

This.
what a great thread to start my morning with

Watcha talking about willis, well the epic my young friend has a different kind of screen its called super ambled , it also has a different version of Android its called touchwiz and its designed by Samsung the phone itself its better hardware wise my girlfriend has it , but as far as I can see the evo has 10 times the support c:

lol he's not talking about touchwiz. he wants the bright screen that epic has. That's called super amoled, and is hardware based. Unless you know where to get these with custom kernels for the evo then... no

Now now... to be fair he is half right.... super amoled and 2.1

Type amoled on your evo and see what the auto correction does, and ofc I know sense is a user interface same as touchwiz, but I'm trying to educate a noob if I explain it the way you expect me to explain it, he would be in the same boat as he was before h started this thread, and yeah its not a different version of Android ofc, but hey if I made your day good for you.

So happy I could start everyone's day off with such humor. Guess I shoulda lurked in the shadows and searched it when I left work but was curious. Thanks for the replies and info. I mainly wanted something similar to the notification bar with toggles and weather but knew there was something different about the display. Anyway, thanks for the info...

that might be coming in cm6

If I understand this correctly, there's a downside to superamoled's color vibrancy - incorrect color reproduction.

My wife has the Epic 4G and I cant use that phone for more than 5mins or so. If I do my Evo looks so crappy and washed out. I agree, that screen is gorgeous (color reproduction faults and all.)
The closest you can get on the EVO is Myn's ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
Install that and turn the brightness up.

This thread made my day! Thank you!
And yeah, no one will port touch wiz. Try an alternative home on the market, there are a few good ones mentioned above

As someone who has owned an iPhone4, only thing better is the camera, and I guess the screen, but I don't really care about that.. Show them ANYTHING ELSE and they will be impressed.
Also, I bet when the Evo was announced, the person making the announcement was able to get a data connection on their phone.

.... why doesn't the iphone have widgets? such a fail. Thats the biggest thing its lacking imho.
Hm... Widgets. 'Nuff said. I'd like to see an iPhone search the App Store from the phone's homescreen. Or for that matter do anything besides open its programs. I would have thought the big clock and weather widget on the main Sense screen would be enough, that was honestly part of why I chose the Evo over the Epic. (that and a dislike of Samsung after my horrible experiences with my last phone)
edit: yes, show him custom ROM loading and backup, plus how easy it is compared to the iPhone.
steve jobs.. dont believe in widgets!
Wireless tether, hulu, and Angry Birds. When I first got my evo the Iphone people would eventually default back to "I got angry birds" since that was the only thing their phone could do that mine couldn't. I suppose you could show them qik even though it sucks, it is definatly going to be the future of phone callls.

Regreting htc evo shift?

Nobody take me wrong but at times I kinda regret not going with the evo just because its forums are fast moving and really active. like I said none take me wrong because I love my shift its so smooth. I thought all android was like this but I'm proud to say my phone runs android smooth. I thought this phone was going to be a hit like the evo. I'm hoping in general things take off. Anyone having the same feelings about the evo shift?

Development is going fine, most of the development goes on behind the scenes and there are a lot of non-public builds out there.
Most of the action is in the IRC right now. I'd say about 1/2 of the builds are on the irc only. Some of the best builds are on the irc, or released early with bug fixes in irc. Things have taken off, but it's mostly behind the scenes.
I don't regret getting a shift at all =P
In no way do i regret getting a shift
No regrets here! My girlfriend has the evo so I've played with it since it came out and this was my upgrade from the hero. I love this phone! Lol
Sent from my PG06100
I'm rooted but still running the stock rom. The phone runs smoother than the Evo (especially when running live wall papers) and battery life is much better when the phone is in use. I'm not blown away by the phone like when I first purchased the Evo, but I still think the Shift is a better phone. I thought I would miss the bigger screen of the Evo, but the sharpness of the Shift's screen almost makes up for it.
All I'm waiting for in a custom rom is one that has toggle switches in the pull down notification bar.
My perception of the Shift is that development does move slower than I had hoped/expected. That's just my perception coming from the Hero. (Not slighting those doing the good work.) However, my "regret" comes from personal tastes.
- I don't need a physical keyboard and the added bulk has started to bug me
- The keyboard slider isn't as tight as I feel it should be, and makes the phone feel a little more cheap that I'd prefer.
- Small design elements bother me (Chrome trim and circles, blue...)
The main "regret" feeling now comes from the Nexus S 4G that's rumored to be announced at CTIA. Likely selling the Shift to pick that up if it's released relatively soon.

Did you remove the plastic from the back? If you did, that's probably why. I left it on and it's pretty tight.
Ahh me too!i wish i would have waited for the nexus from sprint but my heros charger port failed so i had to get something fast.=/ im have faith for the shift development.the hero rom development was amazing!!it made me love the phone.Im just looking forward to what everyone can do with the shift also im hoping in a camcorder mod or something like the nexus one did =] im sure it is possible.im starting to get into cooking some roms and everything but i just havent gotten it all down yet.my shift makes me wanna learn though!alot more than my hero!and the keyboard does feel a bit loose after a while but ive always had that problem with phones with slide out keyboards.i just hope it doesnt mess up like one of my old phone that caused the screen not to be touch able anymore.Dont Regret!give it time!

Widgetsoid. Download it. Your wait is over.
I'm very happy with my phone. It's as if HTC remade my Moment awesome.
^ Shift Faced
The Shift is still a young platform, give it time. The EVO has had almost a year head start on the Shift as far as development goes, so it's no surprise that the community would be booming over there.
I too had this same question when it came time to upgrade. As a Hero CDMA user, I enjoyed a fantastic, active community, even for a phone that was based on ARMv6. If a phone of that caliber STILL has a community as vibrant as it is, the Shift is SURE to foster a wonderful kitchen of ROM creation and hacking. We've already got some excellent folks on board (I'm looking @ you NFX!) and more will come as people upgrade their phones.
I much prefer HTC builds to the likes of Samsung. The slide on my Shift is taught and feels solid - I too left the plastic on the back / edges. When the time came to select a phone, I tried everything at T-Mobile and Sprint and the only phone that would have enticed me away from the Shift would have been the G2. That second gen Snapdragon / Adreno 205 rocks my socks. So fast, so smooth.
I love this phone.
(ps. I also did not want a physical keyboard, but I'm falling in love with it, ESPECIALLY when ssh'ing into a box or using the terminal emulator)

Yeah motoblur up until that sucks. This actually looks decent and seems quick.
I still have a Droid X my kids use for watching videos and playing games and I had to do a bunch of stuff to get gingerbread on it. Once done, Gingerbread is a well polished machine by comparison to previous versions. It adds the LITTLE THINGS that iPhone users tend to enjoy. I liked it and give it a big thumbs up.

I didnt post what you quoted so I cant speak for him but I will elaborate, slightly. I have gingerbread CM7 on the Captivate and there are several things I like about it.
First and formost, and this is petty, the screen does the "crt monitor" screen on/off effect animation thingy. Its superficial, but awesome. There are several other interface changes that are an improvement imo.
Secondly, native wifi internet calling via SIP. It still takes some setting up and know how but you only have to read to learn.
Of course there are "speed" improvement like always.
Theres a Download (manager) app.
Finally, security. You probably read about that already.

[Q] So the Nexus S 4G comes out May 8th

How will this help us epic users on may 8th?
The answer is still: We will have to wait and see how the source code from the Nexus is useful, which depends on which hardware elements it shares with our Epics.
Uh, well is someone going to supply an epic dev with what they need?

I don't see why you need to be insulting people who want to get a Nexus S 4G. It seems like a good phone for someone who wants to have the latest android releases immediately available to them. My wife is probably getting the Nexus S 4G as an upgrade from her HTC Hero. The main reason is that she loves CM7 on her Hero and I can't guarantee her CM7 (or future CM releases) on any other phone for sprint. You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

That bug wasn't Nexus specific, it was common to android. One of the developers at Google made a blog post about it a while ago.
Yes, i see your point for CM7 on the Nexus...
Are you guys forgetting the Evo3D is right around the corner?
Along with its HUGE Dev community and CM7 pretty much already guaranteed for it....
Screw the GS2 b/c after overclocking the Evo3D i doubt ill need anymore speed...
Yes the 3D is a gimmick but the specs of the phone is so tempting.
GS2 will be out like 2-3 months after and i don't see them getting updated till next year by sammy because we all know how that goes....

When I get a new phone....hopefully...soon, I'm not real sure what it will be. The Nexus just feels AWESOME in your hand but I'm used to the slide out keyboard. The GSII sounds awesome as well but we saw how the support was on the Samsung side plus TW makes development SO much more difficult.
The Nexus S 4G isn't really a step forward like the GSII or the EVO 3D will be. It would also be hard to leave the SAMOLED screen for Super LCD/TFT. Decisions...Decisions...
Been using a 3 years old Palm Pre and have been amazed at how it just works. The specs of the HP Pre 3 look to be pretty solid. I love how emails works correctly on the Pre. I hate the unreliability of email polling on Android in general.

I think he meant the Evo 3D. Hes torn between choosing the SAMOLED Nexus S or the SLCD Evo 3D (which in reality is a qHD screen).

Now that the Nexus has been released

Now that the Nexus has been released what is everything that we should be looking forward to seeing on our Epics because of it?
Standby I know a few of us are already working on it seeing what can be done
I was fooling around with one today at Sprint store. It's sloooow compared to the hybrid Frog in the latest Bonsai beta rom. Maybe once it gets fixed it will work better.

Yeah, my wife picked one up today. Its a nice phone but at the moment I still like my (rooted) Epic better. However once development for it gets rolling I'm sure it will be a whole different story. Stock for stock the Nexus is leaps ahead though.

Same here mine wasn't updated right when I unboxed but I didn't take note of the info before the update. Yeah hotspot works wo the plan on the s. The update said there is an important update to fix system performance on your device but didn't note any change at all of the build number like the ones for the Epic did in the past.

Can someone tell me what the key differences are between he nexus s and the epic that wouldb possibly make the nexus better or an "upgrade" ? I was in a sprint stoe Saturday and the mployee told me I'm eligible for an upgrade before june 30th an then again starting october 1st. Is the nexus more advanced enough to ditch the epic or should I wait for somthing like the evo 3d , galaxy s2 , or whatever comes out after those?

Personally I don't feel its worth upgrading to.
It is pure google and will be updated by google
Has a NFC Chip
Has a curved display
Has no keyboard (negative for me not for others)

Now that the Nexus has been released what is everything that we should be looking forward to seeing on our Epics because of it?

i was just going to post this asking the same thing/
i cant wait for the gingerbread to be ported over here. i imagine its all the same code save for the keyboard codes because the nexus doesnt have one.

no, i wouldnt. the fact that its pure google will make the updates roll out way quicker. and the screen is 4.0 inches. the processor is the same, but it comes preloaded with gingerbread.
the way i see it, i like my screen just the way it is. super amoled isnt that much diff from super amoled plus. the curved glass is just a gimmick. and it doesnt need to be that huge. plus i like the keyboard on our phones. ive had an all touch phone before and it drives me nuts.
i guess its just a matter of opinion. im sticking with the epic tho.

Pretty sure they use the same Super AMOLED as us just curved its the new Droid Charge, Galaxy S II, and a few others that have the Super AMOLED Plus

No, I totally understand. I appreciate all the work that you guys do. I was just wondering if anyone knows what Epic users have to look forward to at this point. I know once the devs start tearing it apart it will probably reveal even more possibilities but at this moment I am just looking for any information that I can get my eyes on of what's down the road for us. Will this give us a chance at having a pure AOSP thats not CM7?
