Yet another Goodbye Hero thread lol

Well guys ive had my hero since launch and she has been great to me for sure but my evo showed up at my door today. I helped alot of you and tons of you helped me for sure. The heroc forum was my favorite so far(ive been in 4 other lol) what a great bunch of guys(talented ones might i add). I just wanted to say thanks and show appreciation to the devs and other users whom i became friends with and or enemies . Well i guess i will be moving to the EVO forum *tear* peace out dude.

Have fun with your new HTC evo

Yeah Brother enjoy the sweetness,and thx for you contributions

Have fun! Should've gotten the Epic!!!

I will be in this boat as soon as Sprint formally announces how much the Shift costs, and when I can throw my hard earned money at them.

So the question then would be WHY? Lol, or is it just personal preference?
I've been past my date for a few months now (upgrade) and have thought of going EVO, but still love my Hero much, lol, as such, I'm hesitant to make the jump.
I wish they made the Hero with a snapdragon processor and a slightly larger screen and all would be good, hahaha. HTC Knight maybe???
What are your thoughts. Your opinion is valued and appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

The HTC Knight is 99% going to be a Sprint-branded, uglier version of the G2/Desire Z (closer to the Desire Z in that it runs Sense, as opposed to nearly stock):

I'm in love man it was only 99 bucks at radio shack can't beat that with a bat. Plus its a tad thinner than the evo but both phones are worthy upgrades.

Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

I've been debating for a while now whether to go ahead and get an EVO, but something keeps nagging at me that once I do, they'll announce a new, faster, better phone.
I guess with CES coming up, that will be all the announcements we'll have for the quarter. That'll have to be the time to come to a final decision.

Yeah but for 99 you can't beat it and the evo won't be outdated for a while plus so many devs jumped ship to the evo it probably the hottest forum right now.

Epic has the screen, keyboard, and is blazing fast. Much faster than the evo on 2.1 than the evo is on 2.2

Another thank you, but shifted

Like what i did in the title there? 2pro, anyways
Been following everyone going from HeroC to Evo shift. did loads of research as im picky about my phone. just took the plunge 2 hours ago and has not looked back!! i almost dont want to root it cause its already fast as F*$%
so point being: thank you to all the XDA devs and mods, and everyone else that points in there 2 cents and effort.
look forward to messing with this bad boy

If i can add to this thread. After reading specs i was going to get an epic. But after reading almost everything here im getting a shift. I havent seen one bad comment on it yet!! Thank you everyone on here!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

I'm sure I bad mouthed it initially, but I'm anal about my phones. Let's just say it has started to grow on me. The future looks bright

It's really a great phone, especially coming from a Heroc. Heck, I barely use the keyboard cuz' I have gotten used to "swyping"
...and the phone is smooth, fast, and all that jazz.

Is swype preinstalled on the shift?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

It isn't, but but the Swype beta was open last time I checked so go apply!
My only gripe is the screen size seems so small.

So true. I started on xda a few months after the buying a g1 (in November 2008), and left almost a year ago due to the rude attitudes. Coming back to the shift forum has been a nice surprise.

I used to own an Epic and man there is a hell of a lot of drama over there. Even on their IRC...the truth is that there are just not enough handsets out there yet. Dicks will eventually buy it and then start trolling here.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

This will happen the moment a "one-click" root method is available.

It will be up to us to keep them in line, and keep our little piece of the world free of riff raff.

Who's Getting a Freekin TWOm?

Couldn't help but laugh, when I saw this, today.

bwahahaha! classic!

I don't think verizon thought that one through.

LOL wow that is funny. I wonder how long that ad will last before its edited to be a little more clear.

Hahahaha! Is that even a smartphone?

Does it still ship with Eclair like our beloved Fascinate? lol

what is Eclair? hahahahaha

No, it's a feature phone with some smartphone like qualities.

most obvious question is, is she a TWOm?

Don't laugh too much, but I bought my 9 year old the ONEm. It's actually a very nice feature phone, looks to be targeted to the tween/teen crowd. Works very well for her needs, and it's not a bad phone at all.
If the TWOm had been available a few weeks ago, I might have even went for it for her instead, but realistically, the ONEm size was probably more perfect for her anyways.

Dey just be freekin' TWOmuch up in dis piece

Attention to all devs

There is a port that has been put alot of time into and needs the handy work of some talented devs that can get this going and finished in the right direction. The Droid X port. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134997 )
Camera is literally a second away from getting to work and other then that that WiFi is the only thing not working to my knowledge. me and a bunch of other members have been trying to keep the thread alive and checking in everyday to see how the progress was and at first it wasn't doing anything and no one was even bothering cause of it being motoblur and doubted it could ever work/
But then team Xron came in and literally brought this port from nothing to pretty damn usable. They fixed the screen tearing, the hw acceleration and the sound. All that is working right now and only thing that needs a touch up from a dev is the Wifi. Fix that and this can be one badass mother effin Port. Can't wait for this to get finished up and everyone can enjoy it because its really that good.
All i know is that Chubbz is still working on it but Swamp Goblin has given up and thinks this is as far as the rom will go, but i don't believe that. no pun intended but he got the evo 3d now and is off to bigger and better things lol
So im asking if anyone out their, dont even have to be a Myn or Virus but someone that can put some little more progress in this and it will be finished and ready to boot up for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks for hearing me out and hopefully word gets out to the right ears and they would want to lend a hand. i know it can be done.
May the force be with you all

Quick question.....I'm a long time Android user and rooter and I remember back ineligible the G1 and MyTouch 3G days there was a motoblur port and pretty much everything was running including cams and wifi.....do you think you guys can look into those roms and see what those devs did to get it working?? I mean it may be worth a shot......

Ill do a little research and post in a sec.....

Is this port further along than the WP7 port?

didn't even know there was a WP7 port, never seen it in the 4g development forum. so i would have to say yes.
Like i said, all this needs is a cam fix and wifi and its ready to go

Light years ahead of the WP7 port....not bashing either I would love to see wp7 work out on the Evo especially since its going to be retired from sprints lineup soon.....but of course porting an android rom with a skin on top of it to a device already running android is easier than porting a whole different OS.....

The wp7 is vaporware its like the webos port....light years away LOL. You'd probably see an iOS port before wp7. I still have my evo id love to check out this droid x port.

Happy new year!

Wish you all a very happy 2012!!
2011 was a great year for Android and smart phones in general. I hope the trend continues in 2012. Looking back i had great fun with Vibrant. Rooting and custom ROMs aside, what other phone could you open up and add a FFC, do hardware GPS fix or heck get a higher capacity OEM battery of same size The phone is holding up well with time with great screen and good graphics & sound performance. I would sure be unhappy by now if i got something crappy like HTC evo 4G or other "high end" smart phones that came alongside. That being said this phone is definitely due for upgrade in 2012. Waiting for a worthy successor.
Have fun you all!
