Thanks to everyone - Motorola Droid X2

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to all the guys working hard to make this phone better. But sadly for me it is just not enough to keep me with android any longer. I have had enough of the **** android devices that are just completely unfinished before releasing. I hope they get their **** together and make some wonderful devices. I would never have thought that I'd be tapa talkin from an iPhone but Motorola htc and Samsung have pushed me to try one. I am so surprised at how well it works that I often wonder why I ever thought these were a pos. not trying to convert anyone at all just stating my personal surprise on the matter. Again thanks to everyone for making my experience at least tolerable for a while.

Don't say goodbye to Android, say goodbye to digital freedom, welcome to iOS.

+1 I couldn't have said it better. I messed w/ the iPhone4S and it was amazingly smooth, but I remembered having an iTouch and how user restricted it was. Even jailbroken it offered very little. And why the goodbye threads? If you're leaving then go. It's all good. None of us will lose any sleep, unless it's Nitro.

Hey, that's why ios exists: For the people who only need those icons, and to make other Os's innovate.

Seriously. What is meant by "icons"?
do us Android users NOT have icons?

They are refering to widgets, I personally don't have any app icons on my home screens just widgets. Also even with app icons you can arrange them any way you like while iOS they are always arrayed in a grid, the best you can do is change the order.

An iPhone 4S is just an iTouch but can call people (as long as your not touching it) with Siri (a gimick to make more people buy the same thing they already over payed for for a higher price).
An iPhone isn't outside the box, its trapped inside. Android is the knife to rip the box to shreds!

The iPhone 3GS just updated to iOS 5 over two years after it's launch. Name one Android phone that's been supported that long.
If you want to complain about planned obsolescence, look to Android.

I'm tired of getting tired of getting on here every day and reading these posts about the epic touch. It's a matter of opinion. If you think it's going to be better, then by all means get one.

Definitely.
What I don't get is that some of these people seem to be Photon owners who for some reason have buyers remorse.
This phone isn't even half a year old and at present works perfectly fine as it is. It got root within the first few weeks, it got 2 updates to address it's initial issues, and the source was just released. No other phone that has been recently released has gotten this kind of treatment. WTF?!
ROMs are created to enhance a phone's capabilities. And at its current capacity, there's nothing to enhance on the Photon. At least nothing that can't be addressed by purchasing apps from the Market...

I'll be the first to say it. If I (or almost all of us here) had wanted iOS, we would have bought an iPhone in the first place.
I don't even think about Theming my phone iOS.
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
well dont be so rude about it hes just sharing .. i mean iOS with Android Specs would make a better iPhone tbh epsecially our amazes it would be sick to try it, though i would stick with my android
Yea but imagine, ios has exclusive apps, there OS takes up like 100mb of space, and it has amazing battery life,

It did happen with wp7, and microsoft even willingly gave out the activation serials for it. (Back with the hd2. Even i called microsoft, told them i had an hd2 (Not wp7) and was installing wp7. Gave me the activation serial on the spot).
I somehow think apple won't be as nice.

And as stated when you posted in the wrong forum, people don't generally make custom ROMs for phones that they can't test their ROM on.
Be patient dude. Development is gonna explode in the next week or so when people start to get the device. Tons of great devs are coming over.

I am betting he is making a joke based upon all the tardanic threads this forum has to offer and everyone seeming to get butt-hurt about the ship dates and the like. Then you have the constant, should I get this or wait crowd. The Sprint won't give me free stuff crowd. The I wish it had XXX feature group. This forum and many others are full of crybabies. It is a phone. It is only a few hundred dollars off contract. If a few hundred dollars off contract is a lot of money to you, you probably need to switch up your priorities and not buy expensive phones.
EDIT
If he wasn't, he needs to seek psychiatric treatment. Possibly be deemed a ward of the state too.
I'd say wait for the next iPhone.

Last year when i purchased my evo3d sprint was paying $125-$150 for my old evo plus giving $75-$85 per line on early extensions. When a company does something like that it will cause a person to sit back and wait for a good deal to come along. Good forums like this one, that pass these deals on, sometimes allow us to get a great phone for next to free. I'm still shopping for an evolte with the same money i used on my original evo.

I understand wanting to get a good deal. I just don't understand all the *****ing about it when Sprint tries to turn a profit. I only paid $125.00 for the LTE I ordered, I am sure my EVO 3D will sell for close to $200. I expense it, so it doesn't matter regardless. I bought my Treo 650 outright though for $650, at the time it was a great phone. It is just money, I'll make more.

While I'm excited about this device, I'm still on Sprint's network in an area that didn't have WiMAX, let alone 4G.
So . . . I'm not willfully upgrading until Sprint gets LTE in my area. Then I'll ask myself that same question: new iPhone, new whatever Android, or new BlackBerry (heh, you never know -- they might come back with THE BOMB!!) . . . until then, my HTC E3D rooted, unlocked and unstocked will suffice.

If you are serious.
It sounds like you like ROMs, right? Than means you like the whole development aspect of android phones. Then why the hell are you even considering a iphone?
I just can't fathom how somebody can't choose between one or the other.
If you want the status symbol and to be like everybody else, and you like to be spoon fed - go with the iPhone.
If you want something that is more than a phone, almost a hobby, something you can theme and Mod w/ bumps in the road - go Android (and this phone is the beast of Android right now).
If you like to tinker with the phone, go android. If you like things dumb'd down, go iphone.

LDPI Sense 4 Style clock widgets

Here's some sense 4 style clocks, I found them in another thread elsewhere on xda. They were originally made by Yngwie Malmsteen for mdpi/hdpi so I've had to tweak the layout to get them to fit in a 4x2 widget.
I didn't create these all I did was resize them a little. This is the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23780247
There is a few more to come and I have also not tested them all out apart from a quick install to make sure they at least installed. I resized one then copied the .xml file into the others, they should all work fine though.

Hold fire for a while they might announce a new nexus if you can afford it, it'll probably be end of year or maybe longer though but I'm beginning to think maybe I should have just got a nexus instead. Yes I have better hardware but the nexus seems to have a few tricks up its sleeve to match or even better the s2 in some areas + jb straight from the box. I'm guessing the next nexus would have to be able to compete with the s3 and the next phone I get is gonna be a nexus.
p.s I better put some clothes on!!

Yes I have better hardware but the nexus seems to have a few tricks up its sleeve to match or even better the s2 in some areas + jb straight from the box. I'm guessing the next nexus would have to be able to compete with the s3 and the next phone I get is gonna be a nexus.
p.s I better put some clothes on!!

Lol @ the p.s
Yeah been reading about the nexus too and how some old nexus users have ditched their s3 and hox's and gone back. Seems that the nexus handles most things thrown at it see this is my dilema? I can afford to get virtually any phone mate but obviously id like to keep my current plan which is the one plan from 3 but i only pay £20 due to being a loyal customer and only taking the wildfire last upgrade. So i need to find out what they will be prepared to give me on this current plan without putting the price up to there normal price for the same plan. If its not good enough for me then i will take the best phone availble, sell it then buy a sim unlock version of ? (dilema)
Im not bragging as some will think but as like everyone we all want more for less lol and im not overly concerned about having the best phone in town, i just want a snappy device that does what its supposed to with good processing speed.
Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
What I'm going to do is get the Nexus off contract, because if I don't get a new device from the carrier when my term is over, I get a 10% discount every month

Yes that problem was already discussed in the original thread. It's because google shut their weather API down and this app (and many others too) were using it.
Somebody has to decompile the apk and has to replace Forecast with a new weather service (Yahoo or others).

Development is dying

Beans has said that mobile developement is dying due to companys trying much harder to block us out. Why do it android was built on this platform. I personally own an android for the reason to make it what I want ( with help from everybody here) so why are they locking us out? I understand the company does what verizon says but why not leave holes for us? It used to be that way now its like the company wants us out as much as the carrier!
Anybody have opinions on this I just dont understand

I dont mean development on this phone but mobile development in general

Money talks. The more vzw can keep us out the more additional products they can sell us.
Vzw is a big company with good negotiators. Samsung wants to keeps offering their products to vzw consumers... and they realize it's vzws call.
Back room dirty politics. Its everywhere.

Yeah they're making their money now and got lots of popularity so no screw u. That's Sammy. Moto and HTC are going the other way leaving holes but once they come out of slide they'll change too.

My opinion is for you to take your sap and negative opinion else where.
This is a community of support and Improvement.
Yes with every update, new work arounds needs to be made.
And one would be very ignorant to think this is like the First time this happened with a brand new device.
It hasn't even been out a month and you're saying it is safe to say development is Dead?
There will be a work around released eventually.
It may come out by this weekend, it may come out by winter holidays or it maybe it will be worked out by spring.
For all we know, we could just end up in the same boat as the s4.
However, i strongly advise you to
Be patient and show your support to devs working day and night
or go follow another forum.
Thank you.
Hey guy I said not this phone!!!!!!!

I think that a lot of this has to do with security of the Android system. Remember that we get root and bypasses by dev's finding holes in security. That means that those same security holes can be used by rogue hackers to steal data. It's a big deal for all of us and especially for businesses. If Verizon and the phone makers wants to sell Android on the enterprise level, they have to prove that it's secure for enterprise use. For most users, this isn't a big deal. They just use stock. But for us...
I think the real issue here is that carriers are exploiting those of us who want an open device by charging full price and by releasing it much later than their locked devices. THAT'S the BS IMO
Ps griping about the company and carrier not the community I love this community and have been here since my droid eris

Ummmm....top poster. Just unnecessary. OP is not putting down devs. He's restating what the devs are feeling..are you following devs on Twitter? Some of the very best out there are refusing to touch a Samsung phone and many are just tired. Development isn't dead. It just evolves.
I think we should all say f sammy, htc, lg and anyone else other than nexus.
Android is going to take a huge blow once iPhone releases a bigger screen. I mean let's be real, if they start locking us out, what's the point of Android.

@bigtoysrock I love you guys and your roms, goodness was the best!!!! But I hate this cat and mouse game, I left iphone because of the screen size, battery life and XDA. Sammy is taking away the thing I love the most XDA U.S development. Or should say slowing it down

Phone just came out... give it a few.. you guys expect it to be here now now now. If you can't wait try finding the exploit and making work and make a program etc. Patience. Plus you know what you were getting into when you bought a lock phone.

You need remember that it isn't htc or Samsung or any of the others for the most part. But rather verizon and at&t. Any of the other carriers can unlock their bootloaders on practically every android device
