Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747
Hey impaler I just want to thank you for putting your time into the themes that you did for everyone and the htc ime keywords. Have fun with your samsung epic 4g.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

I am really excited about this.
If this becomes a good Sense Froyo build, I am very excited to see it be ported here.
If, by that time, no one is into porting, I will investigate what it takes.
I'm way too excited about Froyo with SenseUI.
I thought I'd point this out here, for all to see. I believe desire is 320x480*** (perfect) and that serves to make (some) things much easier.

UGH, I didn't know it was.
May-haps the resolution problem isn't that much of a 'problem' anyway.
It seems like every .apk will contain images for 800x480 as well as the .xml files delivering visuals that way...
I can't imagine it being easy, but maybe I'm wrong. Again.
Its already been ported to the EVO.
Wife has an eris so this would be great she loves sense and froyo would be nice.
P.S. I have the Incredible and I'm thinking its time for punk.kaos to upgrade to the incredible he is the hardest working dev i've seen.

A solid Froyo with SenseUI would be the end all of ROMs for me.
I would stop modding my phone completely, if I had this, and it worked well.

OK that's a huge lie.
But it would make me very happy.
My buddy just got an EVO and has the Mario live wallpaper constantly running. That screen is H U G E. And that phone is silly fast. Outrageous.

I always wondered how all those rumors start.
i was reading on another forum that sprint is going to be discontinuing the hero and the moment? is this true? if soo im really ticked considering these phones are less than 10 months old.
i just talked to my friend who works at radio shack and he confirms these phones will be discontinued and not carried for much longer. are there any sprint workers here that can confirm?
I'm trying to make a witty and profound response, but I can't concentrate. Oh mister pit, mister pit, oh mister pitiful.......
yeah it sucks, i bought the damn phone for 500 bucks last october and its already outdated. hows that for some silly ****.
yea i remember staying up late waiting for updates at like 3 in the morning now its pretty empty. thank god to faithful commited devs that keep the hero intresting...... (sigh) i need an evo

id think most users would be pissed right now. i think if they are doing this, it's just to get users to get a droid phone with 4g so we can pay that 'coolness' fee. no reason for you to take offense, this isn't geared towards our small amount of devs here, im talking about sprint/htc. even the damn 1st gen droid got 2.2 and it's about to be discontinued.

I honestly... don't give two ****s. It's the progression of technology. To move with the times, you need to improve with the times. I think it's not bad to discontinue the Hero, but it certainly isn't good either. Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo......

well ladies and gentlemen, i just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advice on my journey to find out how to get the most form my vibrant. i couldnt resist the samsung epic with the slide out keyboard and the 4g speeds and the front facing cam. the thing that i love most is that it has the ability to run stock android 2.1 without rooting. I seriously dont have any basis for comparison but the epic feels smoother running touchwiz than the vibrant does. It must be the fact that the vibrant runs touchwiz 3.0 while the epic runs touchwiz 2.5. I feel like going from the vibrant to a phone like the evo is like cheating on your girlfriend with her best friend. Going from the vibrant to the epic 4g is like cheating on her with her cousin...at least im keeping it in the family....lol. if anyone wants to talk cases or accessories, you can find me in the epic 4g forums

Well, at least for the EVO, there is work being done on that by toast and etc, obviously no ETA whatsoever, and anyone who expects there to be one is crazy, as just reading about the steps that are needed to do anything with it hurt my brain very, very badly. A bit of a bummer for sure, but I do not live in a 4G market anyway (I almost never use 3G anyway, wi-fi most places I go, only use 3G if I'm on the bus), so that's not a problem for me.
