Where are all Captivate dev team?

Ok i been looking through vibrant forum and they seem to have organized a dev team already. Where is the captivate dev team? I wish I had some knowledge of all this info about rooting and building custom roms.
I am afraid after purchasing the Captivate I will be patiently waiting for a custom rom.
Please prove me wrong. Let's get it going guys.

lets see...
att customer base > tmobile customer base
Captivate > Vibrant
Price of captivate at att > Pricing at tmobile
Lastly its all a big happy galaxy familly so once one of the carriers gets some suga the rest will most likely follow as well.

I know I know. I have a feeling once vibrant has a custom rom I am sure we can use thier rom and mood to use on the captivate. Maybe? I don't know if it is ghat easy but....... I wish there was someone who can tell me this.
Dev team???? Where u at?

It will most likely occur like you say. Dev team is probably still playing with all their other amazing smartphones untill this gets shipped out to them

Isn't the Galaxy S the next big smartphone? I guess i just need to follow the Vibrant group or the Galaxy S forum.

I honestly do not understand why there are so many sub forums for the galaxy s. IE: dream, rogers, g1, adp1 = 1 forum. The galaxy s, facinate, vibrant, epic, and captivate should be in one forum since for the most part they share identical hardware.

I agree. It seems that the dev and software forums could easily be merged. The whole "I modded the Galaxy S root file" in the Vibrant forum and subsequent "I modded the Vibrant root file" in the Captivate forum stuff is the perfect example why there should be a merged dev forum. Not so logical with the accessories forum, but I think it could be done. I wouldn't want the general forums to be merged though. I don't think Vibrant fans want or need to see all our store reports, price controversies and sideloading hacks.

Lol towards the end of your post.

Either way, it will if the vibrant root team makes a good rom it will be easy enough to port to the captivate. I am sure in the community spirit of android the US galaxy S roms will be a collaborative effort.

Yes agreed, ATT tells customers JACK SHEET
hah I was lucky enough to use the captivate at my local ATT yesterday (Saturday) morning for about 20 mins, which finalized my decision to ditch my HTC Desire and pick up one of these about 10 mins ago online (they're up now of course starting today) only $499 out of contract, sure as hell beats the $620 I paid for the desire a mere 1.5 months ago.
If you're lucky like me and have been out of contract with ATT (been ATT member since 2003 and out of contract since 05 here) you still get access to unlimited data of course, so that's a great bonus if you buy out of contract with no commitment.
Side by side, my poor HTC desire was absolutely NO match for the Captivate in all areas from the camera to application reaction times to definite lag on the HTC device when multiple widgets are being run. The camera on the Captivate is hands down much more clear and smooth with videos. I got to take them outside where my desire was completely unviewable at full brightness, although not 100% viewable, I could actually use the samsung in full sun.
I'd imagine they'll all start pouring in the next few days as it just dropped Today, very glad to have picked this up, Sorry HTC, maybe this winter. (You can flip these things on ebay and make more than what you originally paid so yeah) Phone Recycle is pretty easy

Wow, that much Desire is alot worse than the Captivate!! I was debating which one should I order (telstra Desire of course) but after I read your comment I made up my mind!

YEs check it out
just for a quick show, here you go, an N1 compared and benchmarked somewhat to show a comparison of CPU/GPU power on both.. N1 can't even run it hah. I was skeptical until I went and used one, had to get it. Get mine tomorrow

just shows the difference between the two as well... as well the Captivate is cheaper hands down

Well the size of att customer base certainly is larger than tmobile. But I think if you're on att and you have a smartphone for the most part you have a blackberry or iphone. This is the first real android phone to come to att. I'm thinking its going to take a while for att to build up a large loyal android fan base.
Captivate and Vibrant, one is not better than the other, they are equal, only difference is in the shape of the case.
Pricing is no different either, 199 on contract, 499 off contract.

ditto man seriosly there seems to be a TON of noobs because AT&T has never had a real android phone where as tmobile has the phone with the largest communitys(nexus,G1,mytouch) =less noobs i myself have been with android since day one. infact systoxity seems like a noob already by not researching any of the facts that clearly show that TMO is better for android than AT&T

Says who? Hah obviously SPRINT would be by FAR the best choice if that is how you want to word it. They have only digi 4G network and the best Droid phones by far. Samsung EPIC 4G? EVO ring a bell? HAH! It's there to see... AT&T doesn't tell their reps or customers jack sheet untilt he phone is out. Sprint has their devices out and available to use before purchase. AT&T is just butt buddies with APPLE. The days of Apple dictatorships on AT&T are done (or they wouldn't have picked up the Captivate which is on par with the iphone 4) I'd say AT&T stepped up for once, now everyone is happy with a super device.

The Android Devs are ALMOST ALL GOING TO BE USING THE VIBRANT!
WHY?
Because T-mobile has less expensive service (and crappier - but, that isn't the point here) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
T-mobile came out with the G1 and had the ONLY Android phone around for about a YEAR!!
So, the people really interested in Android.... Went to T-mobile. And, they are still there. WHY?
Take a look at our software - we have no true FM radio - just the pay as you go ATT CRAPPY one! The Vibrant has a REAL FM TUNER. I put it on my phone but, I think the Captivate is missing some drivers - so, doesn't work yet. AND, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAPWARE ON THE ATT Captivate!
So, happy to root it and remove it!
Yes, we'll be hanging on the Vibrant developers shirt tails for awhile.

sprint is good to its just with tmo there cheaper,better CS,and tmo is the fastest network with hspa+,and their home to the most important devs(ie:cyanogen)

The vibrant is faster than a desire? Hmm.. how come people here in the forums are complaining of it lagging? And the lack of a flash is a deal breaker for me, wanted to.get one as a second phone, but decided not to coz of the reported lag and lack of flash

I have a N1 and just bought my wife a Captivate.
Some observations:
1. The captivate isn't laggy if you switch launchers. I also think this is a general Galaxy-S issue that can be resolved by editing a file. (Search Modaco).
2. The screen is just gorgeous.
3. It does come with Flash Lite. Same as desire pre Froyo.

Ill be getting a captivate in a couple of weeks and will work on roms for it. The aria is my first android device and we've got some good development going with it. Im going to get a system dump of the captivate later tonight and look through it. Ill see if i can get some roms ported for you guys soon.

Good Bye S(n)exus One.

Please forgive me if im in the wrong category. It said 'general' so I figured.
So today I found out my dad will be switching us from Tmobile to Sprint. I was sad to hear that my Nexus One will no longer be my best friend, instead my dad chose to pick up the Epic 4g. We will be switching this Friday. I was a little upset because of the large rumored release of the Nexus S. And the fact that the Epic, according to the sprint Rep, was on 2.1 unlike my current 2.2.1 nexus.he said it will be updated around the holidays. I asked him if the updates will continue without being held back by the carrier, he said yes and that sprint hasn't held anything back yet. I was unsure if this was true or not, my dad gave me hardly anytime to do more research on sprint and their phones so I went off of things I already knew.
The Rep was nice, spoke to him over the phone, while my dad and brother were at the sprint store with him.
I don't think he could comprehend how a 16yo could know so much I asked him if we had 4g in south Carolina and he answered no. I asked an estimate of how long it will be until we get 4g he said 6 months. So that's $60 I will be paying for nothing. (Mandatory 10$ for 4g speeds). I also mentioned my custom roms and root, which he knew about but seemed confused when I ventured further into the topic ( I get excited when talking about Technology and tend to go overboard.) Anyways his main sale tactic was:
"you will get unlimited talk, text, web. isn't that cool?"
I'm upset that my phone will be "with Google" instead of "BY GOOGLE"
anyways I just felt like someone should know because I'm honestly sad to leave my nexus. And I treat it like my best friend. Sorry if you wasted time reading this.
If you have any advice about sprint, or the epic 4g. (I will begin looking at the epic forum soon) or anything else you want to add, please do.
I warned my dad if there is a set and confirmed release date for the rumored Nexus S and its on GSM. I will pounce on it like a cat.
Goodbye Nexus One. I had a good time with you. Your 1ghz snap dragon is great, you never lag, but I must move onto a faster hummingbird processor and 4g speeds. I will never sell you. And I will most likely buy a 'pay as you go plan' so I can still update your ROMS, and use you.
Love Branden
(God Im pathetic...)
Again sorry if you wasted time reading this.

The good news is Samsung will probably follow the same sales approach with the Nexus S (and/or Galaxy S2) as they did for the Galaxy S, as in slang it all over the world on every carrier possible. There may be light at the end of the tunnel.

ya the word is it may be available for multiple carriers so u may be safe. But you could of gotten the Evo since it is supported by several devs, even Cyanogen

Haven't seen or heard that at all. The only FCC filing, currently, is for TMO frequencies.

i know how u feel about ur nexus cuz i am a same and it's bad decision to move from tmo to sprint , sprint toooo expensive, but Google will not be slow, they will make nexus s for sprint, this what i am thinking and hoping to be true

I didn't want to move from Atmosphere, my Dads decision, but he doesn't listen. And the evo was my other choice
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I'm currently on Sprint with a EVO 4G. With CM it comes pretty close to the Nexus One experience wise but sans the trackball and with a more satisfying size IMO.
That said, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a WiMax capable Nexus S on Sprint a month or three after. They already did it with the SGS/Epic 4G so you never know.

You should have 30 days to switch to other phones if you don't like the epic, my friend just got an evo and it's sick! If this happened to me,i would go for that instead, htc is way better than samsung with updates and rooting, plus touchwiz is kind of cheesy. Hope this helps, and enjoy any new phone you get.

I agree touchwiz is. And the guy seemed quite adament that it will be updated constantly, I know were getting the Epic for 99$ with 2yr contract
Anyone know the price of the Evo? If not I'll check online .

Updated constantly....can't help but laugh.

You should carry around your Nexus One and just use your Epic to tether your Nexus for data

Evo=CM6
Sgs =No CM6 EPIC FAIL
I know its hard leaving the n1 but you gotta make the right choice.

Evo FTW.....

The Epic is... epic. It's an amazing phone in terms of hardware, root it and wait for CyanogenMod to come out for it.

What is with your carriers. I think it is terrible that they do not work around a standard like 900/2100 GSM.

Well, in this case it doesn't matter what bands the phone uses, it's a different standard. GSM vs CDMA.

Dad can go to sprint you stay here.. problem solved.

Who else is Returning their Atrix before 30 days are up?

The Atrix is kind of my second Android device. I had a Captivate for a few weeks and wasn't a fan. After following the Atrix (back when it was known as the Olympus), and having own it since the 21st, I think it's time to return it.
I like the phone. I like Android. And while AT&T may not be the fastest in my area, they're pretty good. But having my upload speeds "capped" really irritates me. There's no reason why it shouldn't have HSUPA enabled. And I don't trust AT&T to update it. So, as a consumer, I'm going to vote with my wallet and return my Atrix before I get locked into a contract.
I've been looking really hard to find an N1 for AT&T. The search hasn't gone well. Most people I've contacted on craigslist have a hard time telling me if it's Tmo or AT&T 3G. I figured most people with N1 were geeks and would know that question right off the top of their head. I've found a couple of ebay, and even though I know that phone is awesome, I have a hard time paying $300+ for a year+ old phone.
Anyone that knows someone selling an N1 for AT&T 3G, I'd be willing to pay up to $250 based on condition. I just really, really, really don't want to go back to using my iPhone 3G.

I am still waiting to hear from the repair guys regarding my iPhone 3GS. That's the initial reason I made the jump. But the clock is ticking and my 30 days are almost up. So if I hear from the tomorrow and my phone is reparable, I may take the Atrix back and wait to see what the iPhone 5 is gonna boast and if its nothing but a 4GS type of an upgrade... I'll most likely repurchase the Atrix. I just don't want to be kicking myself IF (the operative word is IF) the iPhone summer update release is comparable or surpasses any other phone on the market.
With all of the mods the developers are creating, I'm hopeful that the speed thing won't be an issue for long. But you are right about AT&T being shady.

Going to return mine if HSUPA / Skype issue is not resolved as both are pretty much a deal breaker for me.

At least you have a 3GS. Do you know how horrible it is go from a fast, 1ghz phone, to a phone that's 400mhz with 128mb ram? Plus it's JB, so it's even slower.
I'm curious about iphone 5 as well, but it's going to take more than hardware to bring me back. I had an iPhone 4, and the antenna sucked. Also, I'm super bored with the OS. If the OS gets a major overhaul and the phone is better, I'll probably get it.
There is also the rumor about the HTC Revolver coming around Q3. Dual core, Android 3.0 (my guess is 2.4).
I'm actually really thinking about switching to VZW for the Tbolt. Except I hate VZW and have had a much more positive experience on AT&T. Except, at the current moment, they're only the 3rd fastest in Phoenix. Tmo and VZW LTE are faster.

i was thinking of returning mine because of the 2gb cap but i doubt i will
and since im able to get a steady connection from att and one that is fast and not bad like sprint and tmo it.
i believe that att and moto will push out the updates soon
its not like it samsung or sprint

I'll likely return mine. And too bad I sold my AT&T N1 today.

Isn't the HSUPA+ of the Atrix is not compatible with the AT&T tower yet unless they turn the HSPA+ on?
I'm confused. Motorola is working on Skype compatibility now.

i'd sell you my ATT N1 for 275

Not a chance.
I'm building linux (ubuntu) boxes as often as I can and to have a phone of the same ilk is quite nice. One that is this fast is quite the bonus.
Phone carrying corps won't do anything unless we vote no with our dollars. I know I'm not doing it. Switching to another company still shows you are hooked.
iphones are boring. Edit: Great designs, beautiful methodologies. Still, boring bar the eye candy.

I have 10 more days to decide. I'm really on the fence still. On one hand the hardware is amazing and blazing fast. Friends and family wow at the tegra hd games, hdmi webdock with out using the official moto dock, and the snappiness of the OS is great (granted its rooted, frozen and better optimized than stock form.) Also, the hope that the bootloader will be open in the future and custom roms made for it are a big wait and keep it flag for me. But on the other hand moto has left a bad taste in my mouth with the locked bootloader, and so has at&t with the HSUPA fiasco. But then I have to also hope that a more powerful or as powerful "community friendly phone" will be out soon as well, because anything else up till now doesn't boast this kind of hardware and speed in MY experience..... Decisions.

I already returned mine. Motorola made such an awesome phone and then teamed up with AT&T to completely cripple it! I fully trust AT&T will do everything they can to SCREW Atrix buyers. GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

There isn't a chance in hell apple does anything but incremental upgrades.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Everyone will still buy it. The iPhone 4 was an extremely large jump, this will be a nice step forward.

That's how I feel. I got a few days left and I'm really considering just leaving AT&T all together because there is nothing in their lineup that I can think of that could replace the Atrix. It's sad, the best (Android) phone that AT&T has and I don't want it.

i'm keeping mine granted the locked bootloader up to now sux, but i really do like the phone alot, i find myself on it more than my IP4, when the IP5 comes out that may change tho lol

How do you have 80 days? I am a new customer and I thought it was just 30 days.
Atrix4G Rooted!

yes i am goin to return the phone soon i am leaving this group..

I'm planning on keeping mine until Motorola rolls out the Gingerbread update; I figure by that time, if the bootloader hasn't been cracked, and Gingerbread doesn't address all the issues I've got with the phone...I'll unlock it and sell it on eBay and go for something else. I'm trying to be patient, but it does seem like there's been an mass exodus of Atrix owners on XDA. There's really nothing I'd want more than the Atrix on AT&T though.

I just got to this party. Why is everyone leaving? Inspire isnt that much better, if at all. Im giving this atrix a run and it feels snappier than my inspire I just returned and this is basically stock.

i was thinking of returning my atrix but i plan on doing the same as KaLiBLeeK.
nothing really seems to interest me right but i have until the 9th of april

Costco has a 90 day return/exchange policy.

considering i've loved the phone with just stock UI and Go Launcher EX, i don't plan on returning it. i have to stay on AT&T, and nothing is really better. the inspire doesn't have an FFC, it's too big for me, and I like using the webtop interface on my TV when I need to.
what i'm really disappointed in is AT&T's rollout; absolutely ****ty network and trying to re-market it as "4G" when it's clearly not even close to max 3G speeds, and their utter lack of marketing for the phone.

Where I live, AT&T's the only one with any real presence. Sprint and Verizon (Shockingly) are non existent. T-Mobile has very, VERY little reception.
Having it work at home is extremely important, so for all their faults, where I live, AT&T has been stellar.
Plus, I talk to some folks at a nearby store. Luckily, many of them seem to know what they're talking about. They know the difference between LTE and HSPA+ and all that.

I should clarify. by "****ty network" I meant it's performance vs. expectations. I've had AT&T since forever and on my BB it was never a problem because I didn't do any heavy actions, since the BB OS and browser is way limited. Signal coverage in LA is great for me. however, data speeds usually crawl (1-2 Mbps) and that annoys me as my roommate will easily get 4-5 on his T-mo HSPA+ network.
AT&T shouldn't have jumped the gun by marketing out 4G when it clearly wasn't ready and/or activated in most areas. Nowhere i've gone in southern california (from LA to SD to inland) have I seen anything more than 3 Mbps, which is pitiful unfortunately.

You would think that with this being motos most powerful phone they would want to push out 2.3 as quickly as possible. We have had this phone about a month and I have not heard anything from motorola. I hope they don't abandon the atrix because it wont be anythi.g more than a gimmick with the webtop functionality

I have had the Evo 4g since launch, and it has been an amazing phone. I have loved it even more since I rooted it and every new rom I try. But my girlfriend seems to be in love with the note, and I have to admit, that big a$$ screen is kind of nice. I'm just not sure that I would put it to its fullest use for very long, liek using the stylus and stuff. And by the looks fo the forums for the Note, there are only a couple roms for it. Not saying I need to have as many roms available as I have had with my 4g, but it would be a plus.
I guess I am wondering if I should consider the note, or if the galaxy s3 might fit the bill better. Or should I stick with sprint and grab and Evo LTE?
I'm not asking you to make up my mind for me, I need to play with the phones and do that myself. Just wondering if anybody has any opinions or advice?

I've been considering jumping ship to ATT as well lately, never had a problem w/ Sprint's speeds but they've been deteriorating rapidly where I live. If you do decide to move, why not the HTC One X?

I agree

This is a good point. Why not stick with that HTC goodness? lol
Seriously, though, I do admit that the Note is impressive, both in size and performance. While not too much more impressive than the rest of the Galaxy SII series (especially the Skyrocket), the screen size is instantly what gets people's attention. I've tested the Note, and I do like its appearance and style...but damn, that One X is sexy
I don't know, it's up to you on this one. The Note isn't too much more expensive than the One X, and Samsung's UI is easy to get used to. You get a nice phone either way.

HTC EVO 4G LTE pretty much is the one x + the SD card,kick stand and removeable battery haha..the note..ehhh,I'd just get the s3 for sprint...can't mess with unlimited data plans..perfect for root + free wifi tether/hot spot....wireless network speeds don't really effect me,as along as I can make a phone call b do basic browsing...there's usually a wifi connection for downloads n updates nowadays

If u don't care about unlimited data
Note is fantastic, my opinion don't go with X one small storage haha
HTC EVO 4g LTE far better than x one

I wanted something different. Nothign against HTC, I loved my evo. And truth be told I may prefer sense to touchwiz. But we, my girlfriend and I picked up a couple notes. The screen size is amazing, no complaints there. Battery life the past couple days has been in the 10-12 hour range, which seems a little low to me since it was with less then moderate use. But then again I am comparing to my rooted evo running decks reloaded and mason SBC which would last forever, lol.
I was hoping to be more wowed by the note like I was when I got my evo. But I think the jump from a blackberry curve to the evo was a bit more of a wow move then what moving fromt he evo to the note is. The note is a great phone, and my girlfriend loves it. I need to really get my hands dirty with it and see what it can do, but I am keeping my options open.

That's expected; jumping from one OS to the other is way different than just switching phone manufacturers. Android to Android isn't that amazing; Android to iOS (or, preferably the other way around ) is.
Either way, seems you're warming up to your phone nicely. Always good to hear that. If you stick with it, great. If not, I would recommend the One X should this phone disappoint down the road. You have some time to test drive it, so get what you can out of it before making that final decision.

I would make the decision based on; what 3G speeds you get now, if where you live will get Sprint's LTE soon, and if you already have Wimax coverage.
So I guess I'm saying it kind of depends.

I am in columbus OH, I have 4G on both att and sprint and i imagine ATT and sprint will both have LTE here by the end of the year.
I haven't read up much on the HTC One X or the Samsung Galaxy SIII, but one thing iI loved about the evo was how easy it was to root/flash and not brickbrick the thing. Looking at the note forums, I see a lot of posts about bricked phones. Granted I haven't read all the details, but it seems rooting/flashing is less safe on the note, which kind of sucks. Are the One X or SIII any easier to root/flash?
Just realized I was viewing the international note forums. The art note forums seem a little more user friendly

Well, if I knew for sure about LTE coming to my area within a year on Sprint, I would stay with Sprint. Personally I would get a Wimax device OFF contact (Epic Touch is Sprint's best Wimax device), and wait til the end of the year to see if LTE will actually come. Then make my decision. If you are completely done with Sprint though, just jump ship now. No reason to wait.
