Vibrant or nexus one?? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I'm looking to get your advice. I currently own a vibrant on T-Mobile and I'm thinking of getting a nexus one. I'm thinking about it primarily because I think I like the form factor is better than the vibrant. In terms of software there's no comparison, ill be using miui on either.
What do u guys think?? Worth the trade or should I stick with the vibrant??
I'm a long time Lurker and have not really posted too much so if I posted in the wtong section or posted on a topic again I apologize and would appreciate it if it's moved to the right section.
If anyone has both phones please share your experience.

I have both and I use my Vibrant as my daily phone almost exclusively. MIUI is pretty slow from my experience on my N1, so I just stuck with CM7.
N1 is pretty fast, but it's also a 1.5 years old (ancient in phone years). It's a great dev phone and it's nice developing apps on it, but the Vibrant is a better phone for the user. The screen is gorgeous, and at 4" I find it much easier to type on my Vibrant than the N1.

Is everybody getting bored with there vibrants??

I read on my twitter dat alot of vibrant owner are giving up there phones for newer one but I wont I love mys.....what about ya??

alot of Eugene's followers are moving onto a different phone because he left. Personally I like the Vibrant because its lightweight and can run CM7
No! I just got mine.
Better late than never...
im gonna stick with the vibrant until the Galaxy s2 is out...
I am currently running Gingerclone R2 + Dead Horse Kernel and couldn't be more content.
I think that once CM7 becomes stable, if it does, then I may switch.
Nonetheless, I am not bored with device.
My fiance is getting SGS2 and I have to stick with my Vibrant. She's going to be happy! But no, I am not bored with this guy at all. It's my high quality music source since Voodoo Sound has been made available to Vibrants, it still runs everything fast. It's got hardwares that will last quite some time. I just hope that there will be more and more great apps available on the Market like on the App Store.
Im stickin with the vibrant for i use it for watching moves and web surfin and pictures....you could say its all about the screen for me.
Bionix-V 1.3 w/a Splash of Color
No way! i love my vibrant! sticking with it till maybe the SGS2 comes out. but even than im going to wait a little before i get one of those.
The Vibrant has way too much to offer. There is not another phone that blows it out the water, so why change?

NO ,let me tell You sumething , i sold my Vibrant yesterday , i miss it incredibly today period (.)
As much as i love samsung screens, i'm not sure why all of you are so quick to get a sgs2. Have you not learned your lesson? Has samsung not **** on and screwed ya enough already? Maybe i'm biased since i also had a behold 2
There is not a phone out there that makes me go "ooooo" so, until then, the Vibrant is it. I am waiting for the S2
Think about it, The phone has a good camera good video, excellent music player, Fantastic custom Roms (lots of them) lots of themes and mods....... Until there is something that is WAY better why change? just for change's sake? that's foolish
with all the work the dev community is putting in, I think our vibrants have a lot of life left in them yet.

i love it, it's fast and light, and really slick looking. will probably jump to the sgs2 when it's out, but until then i don't see any reason to switch over to anything. especially with a ffc mod, there's really nothing any other phone has than mine except maybe 4g speeds, which probably wouldn't work well in my area anyway
I like my Vibrant. If you get bored, try flashing new roms. I find it very refreshing to have a new rom. I'm currently running Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey 2.5. It's good so far! Also, I'm waiting for the CM7.

I never owned a behold 2 , so I can't say much on that. Tbh as love as we have xda dev support, the whole samsung thing is just whatever. But that's just me. I love the hardware they put in my.vibrant, the movie and.sound.codecs. its just a great phone.

Photon and MIUI

As a forum member of MIUI for the HTC Evo, I just received a e-mail that states a member of the MIUI development team has received a Photon to try and port the MIUI Rom to it. In my personal opinion, this is effin awesome. Anyone that has used MIUI, it is a very impressive Rom, and to know that one day it will be on the Motorola Photon...big things will be happening!!!
Cool, if he can get a bootable kernel, then we can have CM7 as well!

If miui cames with 4G that will be great other wise CM is fantastic rom

I do hope things work out. One of the things that I really likes about both the MIUI and CM7 was the theme launcher. being able to change the theme of your phone in a matter or seconds and not have to flash is awesome. Even though I am going through some serious flashing withdraw, I must say, the Photon is a really quick, efficient, and over all great phone fresh out the box. Can it really get any better??? (I'msure it will)

^.^ amen, I've flashed three great roms, three great themes and all kinda tweaks on my photon in less than two months time.
Thanks photon devs.....
And now we have this

well said...when I was on the Evo forum there were five variations of the same style Rom with small differences...not dissing the devs at all...they all did great work....it really narrowed down to 3 types...CM7,MIUI, or a sense style Rom...MIUI was my favorite...I believe the Photon is to dope of a phone to be ignored... I'm positive Roms will be created and the haters will just be haters...

Hey guys, there's a sad news and a good news. For the first; bad news is that my SGA got stolen in an Car Fair (named Auto-Expo), so I was there standing between huge crowd and someone pickpocketed my phone while I was not paying attention to it.
After 3 days, the money I collected for Galaxy S Plus, thinking that I'd sell Ace and get some money from it so in totality I'd get S Plus. So I invested the money I collected on Motorola Defy, which has very active forums on xda, plus has very active development and most of all official MIUI and Cynogenmod and I am VERY happy with this phone.
So this is end of my legacy, bye guys have fun and I think one day Ace would get stable and fully working ICS, and it could be overclocked to 1200 Mhz easily.

I can use your help, since I am very confused with rooting, flashing and finding particullar SBF for it to run MIUI. Can you PM me the whole procedure? By the way I have red lens Defy with 2.2.2 Asiatic firmware.
Red lense is better from what I understand. You need superoneclick to root.
Once rooted download the app from this thread(2nd init installer)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
And run it. It crashed first time for me but worked fine second time. After that download the miui or what ever you want to flash And put on memory card. After that. . . .
shut down.
Power up.
Press down on volume rocker when blue led flashes
Recovery menu will load. On this touch screen in bottom right corner to show menu.
Choose recovery.
Custom recovery.
Cwm will load.
Sure you know the drill after that.

Hey all i just got this phone from tmobile and im coming from the galaxy s 4g and instead of just kinda reading all of everything thats going on in this forum i kinda just wanted to ask you all what you think of this phone.. my last phone was the galaxy s 4g and i had alot of fun with it.. its just i really wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want the galaxy 2 so my questions would be
1 is rooting the phone worth it
2 how is the phone in comparisons with other phones out now
3 **** it comes down to the development of roms.. how are they??
thanks all im just curious...

Rooting the phone is always worth it
In my opinion its the best phone on the market and the toms are ok now great like 4th bar sense I like a lot xborader and other are working on a very slow moving aosp ics but its the only aosp we have and but its all sense roms also bulletproof and energy are nice

Once you root make sure to install faux's kernel, its a significant battery booster!!

Hi mysticfrog and welcome bro!
Yes, The screen of the Amaze 4g is larger but not emolated (amolated?) and I've had no problems at all with Gingerbread nor with HTC Sense 3.0
The bloatware is there on this phone.
If you root your phone, it voids the warrantee btw.
The Amaze 4G IS slated for the ICS 4.0 upgrade & HTC Sence 3.5/3.6 probably in march. If not then your guess is as good as mine.
Insofar as ROM's are concerned, I don't know. As around.
Finally, You might want to reconsider this phone, as Google wants phone developers to come out with phones that don't have physical buttons!
ICS and Jellybean, I presume, are on phone which have physical buttons but the new Google phone only has on-screen buttons like the Iphone.
If I were you and I could wait till later on this year, I'd wait man.

WEll i can play with this one for 20 days.. from the specs it seemed like the phone to get.. i appreciate the input bro.. im just kinda bored with the sgs4g.. but having said that the devs over there are pretty awsome.. i just wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want a galaxy s 2..
I put NRG's ROM on to it. It is really nice, smooth and has many useful features!
If you wanna buy accessories, I'd recommend buying an Anker battery, a TPU case (i bought one for $3 on eBay), car charger and you should be good to go!
Alright guys I've got the amaze.. Im at work at the moment.. I just got one last question..
is the development of this phone going to slowly increase? Cause i do believe t mobile is the only one that has a phone of this juncture..
I've read ALOT on these posts were ALOT of people are not happy with the development.. Im not trying to get flamed for this question im just wanting to be with this product for the long haul and im just wanting to make certain that i made the right decision.. I've read the reviews all weekend so i do like the phone from that perspective.. Im just wondering about the development aspect of it all.. I just don't want to get it and then see devs leave for another product.. Basically how is the future development looking for this phone.. Thanks all.. Rooting this phone looks pretty easy btw.. I do like that...

If you're a crack flasher, then this device is not for you. I don't think development will pick up much at all... However, I say its the best device also. I don't need heavy development. NRGZ28 made a beautiful and EXTREMELY stable ROM called Energy. It's got all I could need.
Most people are salty about the device because they can't get s off so developers are backing out. We have 4-5 ROM developers, but the nrg ROM is the only one that's as stable as stock imho (but I haven't tried OneGoodROM or Bulletproof since the 2.3.2 update. A lot has changed since that release though.
If you're looking to flash a new ROM each week, then you will not like the device and you may have an addiction. If you're looking for a phone that has a few very stable ROMs to choose from, this is the device for you

[Q] Buy One X or wait for new Nexus?

Hey everyone, I currently have an AT&T iPhone 4S that I got a couple months ago, around April. Previously I had the HTC Inspire 4G, and while I loved Android, the phone had a tiny battery and got no signal so I switched back to iOS. I was very involved in rooting and custom ROM's and everything, so that's not an issue. My mom has an upgrade available, and she wants to have my iPhone 4S (she has the 4, and doesnt want the 5). She's allowed me to use her upgrade to get a new phone, as I'm going to give her mine. I want to jump back onto Android because I love Jelly Bean and the new MIUI and CM10 ROMs. I'm kindof in a bind now, because since i just spent 300$ on my iPhone a couple months ago, my parents don't want me spending another 200$ for the Galaxy S3. The One X is only 99$ right now, but I like AOSP a lot better, Sense is alright, but not as nice as vanilla Android. I understand that I could just flash CM10, but I'm not sure if I should wait for the new Nexus which is apparently coming out in December. I also want a phone with a removable battery, so that's an issue with the One X, as it only has a 1800 mah battery. Should I wait until the new Nexus comes out, and will the S3 drop down in price? Or should I just pick up the one X? Thank you very much.
First of all, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
And second, if you really like rooting and modding and whatnot, the AT &T One X (One XL)is unrootable from its latest updates. And since you would be buying it new, it should be on one of its last few updates. So avoid that for now.
However the Gnexus is getting stale, so youre best bet is to wait

If u like mod and roms, should buy hix tegra 3, if u use your phone for facebook buy next nexus
