I switched to the Incredible a few weeks ago, and I already miss all the eris devs and users. The eris was released as an underpowered, crippled device, and the amazing devs here at xda changed that. I would have been really unhappy with my phone if I hadn't been able to flash this and that every other day.
The Incredible is nice, and I finally have MIUI, but I can't help but miss conap, decad3nce (I think I put the 3 in the right place), kaos, and tazz. Thanks to all of you for keeping me sane for the year or so I had my eris.
I, for one, miss seeing your avatar's haircut!
That'll teach you to get a better phone!!!! Muhahahhahaha!
I miss your avatar, too. Your personality, on the other hand... Just messing with you, sorry!
I just saw Jcase post up a thread about rooting the Thunderbolt recently so I'm assuming theres some action about to start going on over there. As for me I'm sticking to my D1, heres hoping Verizon releases a Nexus phone one day.
It was a beast , and I think it deserves all of us preview owners to say bye the right way!! lol
just wanted to say bye evo 4g, i had you for a year and honestly we had good moments shyt even got me laid a couple of times, because chicks look at me flashing kernels and shyt and they loved it, it was a nice run, I will miss you hope you have a good time with your new owner , that was really stupid to buy you for $300 but like I say I will miss you!!!
I picked up my E4g last night and immediately noticed how much slower it was. I do kinda miss it, altough i wont go back to using it. Daddy's got a new baby now.
I do miss mine too. It was and still is a great phone. Nice to see you over here phatman!!

I sold mine on Ebay I boxed him up last night right after the Good Block party we threw him. Today we had a departing ceremony, it was a very depressing scene
(Tears falling).. o.k. EVO 4g.. your the first android device I've ever had.. you popped my android cherry. I was a winmo user before . Thanks EVO. For the year that you've been in ny life I am grateful .. through the ups (cm7, freshrom) and downs (no 4g with miui) you've been the best phone I've had .. as I wrap u up in a UPS box please don't hate me. Just remember all the times I've tickled you with new roms and boosted you with super kernals.. (still crying )

i still use my 4g... my 3d doesnt fit into my armband for working out quite like my evo does, and i can still use the gps for my runkeeper.... so can you say "ipod touch 4g" LMAO
Dear Evo 4G,
I'm sorry that I had thoughts of saying goodbye, but in the end I kept you. It could have been worse: look at these people in this thread! In the end, I did the right thing. I traded in your ugly stepsister instead. She was an old dusty iPhone who hadn't been turned on in a year. Sure, I didn't get quite as much for her, but hopefully someone with lower standards will be able to turn her on now.
Let's not ponder whether or not we would have parted ways had you not had an ugly stepsister to give away. Let's only focus on the fact that you are still here, passed down to my daughter who is now enjoying a fully rooted, Deck'd out 2.3.4 ROM Evo. If we were forced to part ways, I would honestly miss you!

i kept mine too...
Dear Eva (my gf's nickname for my Evo),
You were my first Android phone, and helped get me out of a lot of crazy situations. I loved you like no other phone, and I'm sorry that I had to let you go. It was just time. Thanks for all the good times testing out new roms, and sorry for all the times that I yelled at you for not booting. I hope you have fun with your new owner.

I bit the bullet and did the Sprint trade in program today . I was putting it off for a long time, but alas our ways must part.
Dear Evo 4g,
You have given me many hours of delight since the day you were launched. I will never forget the time when you convinced a die hard Iphone fanboy to see the light and come over to android. I will never forget the way you changed the world and set a benchmark for all other phones to be compared to. I called it the evo standard, does it have 4.3" screen, front camera, 1ghz processor... I will never forget you, but alas I have adopted a new evo into our family. I didnt think it would be fair to put you into the closet next to my hero and other old phones. SO I posted a adoption notice for you on CL and asked for a rehoming fee ($300). I hope that you will give your new home as much joy as you did mine. The lady who adopted you was very gracious to have you, just as I was.
The evo 4G was one of those phones that will always be referenced and continued to be used for years to come. many new phones being launched today still cant contend with the evo 4g.
Let my 4g go. Miss the extra .25" or so on the width, but the 3d is so cool. And it's super fast!
Unfortunately I'm moving away from the Photon, so will be discontinuing the guides. I'll poke my head in once and awhile and update any pertinent info. Time to pass on the torch...someone should begin another and request it stickied.
I enjoyed the MoPho...but one month after release it's way too quiet in here for me. I crave flashing goodness...and hear only crickets. I will be picking up the SGSII when it hits, and look forward to seeing some of you over there!
Thanks to Yay, Edgan, Kenneth, DCour, Baller, Mikey and others that have taken a stab at this great phone!
Good luck on your next phone. For me I am pretty pleased with how well this phone works stock. The two things I wanted in particular (root and webtop) were achieved amazingly quickly. While I look forward to a sexy fast custom rom with all the bells and whistles (and rock solid stability). I can wait for that, I am more then satisfied that the Photon has lived up to the hype. It's the first time a smart phone has done that for me.

Damn man sucks to see you go. You will be missed. You still in your 30 days? How you going to get the SGSII, just pay full price? Anyways, hope all is well with that phone and I know they will have some great guides over there ;-) Good luck!

Yeah today was last day of 30 days...so I cancelled the line, started a new one with a Nexus S on it, and will swap for the SGSII when it comes along (rumor is 9/9/2011).
Thanks for the kind words DJ!!

You know that you are allowed to switch it out 3 times which resets your 30 days every time right? guess its too late now but yes you are allowed to do that. That's what I did. they just swap you out a new photon and reset your 30 days. lol I loved it. Does help to have a good guy at sprint to deal with also
But like I said bud, good luck and you are very welcome.
I may do the same thing. I have my girl and her mom on my account I may just give my girl the Photon and use her mom's upgrade on the SGSII. Will see how it goes first though. Really like the Photon, it has a **** ton of potential! Really too bad Motorola can't get their head out of their ass and realize that's what keeps a majority of us around.
Take care o/

This is rather disappointing. It's only quiet in here because the phone is still so young, bootloader was only recently unlocked. As soon as all the hardcore HTC fans start to realize this phone blows both Evo's out of the water, this place will be booming. Even if not, we have some very talented developers making feature rich stable roms. I was a flashaholic as well, but especially on phones such as the Evo well over half of the roms are just plain rubbish and aren't worth flashing. I'd hate to see that happen to the Photon and then deal with all of the people complaining that the phone doesn't work when they just loaded up half-functional software ripped from quality roms by a 12 year old.
Either way, hopefully you'll come back to this phone when we learn what major flaw the latest/greatest Samsung has. I gave up on them after all of their Android devices had major recurring defects, ones that I still see today in my tech centers. Moment/Intercept/Transform had way too little internal memory and the processor wore out quickly. Epic/Captivate/Vibrant all had borked GPS and suffered from random locking up/reboots. Nexus S 4G has terrible signal quality and terrible battery life. Replenish has been their worst yet, charging port shorts out causing it to say it's charging when it isn't and has gotten so hot that I've actually seen them brought in with melted LCD panels and it burnt the customer upon picking it up. I don't know how Samsung has avoided a lawsuit on that one. As for myself, I will not be picking up another Samsung device regardless of how amazing the specs look on paper. They can't seem to get their products fully functional.

I agree completely. I was just looking at the SGS2 reviews and whatnot for the last hour or so. I honestly think the photon already has beat it. I remember my first Samsung phone from ATT, I forget what it was even called actually. I'm sure I could look it up but it was like almost a smartphone. I mean it was, but there was no market or anything and it was just what it was.
I will be staying here unless there is just no action moving forward. But I don't see that happening because like you said this is a great phone and we have only begun to unlock the powers it has, I cannot wait to see numbers when we have a proper kernel source and a proper kernel made for us. Stock my phone has hit over 2500 in Quadrant and I know other people have gotten higher. In Linpack it is hitting higher than some of the highest numbers ever recorded for linpack. So I really can't wait to see what this thing has when it is fully unleashed! It still is just the beginning.

Amazing maybe, better than the Photon I would have to disagree there.

Thanks for your contribution to the Photon. Enjoy whatever device you end up with.
Hey everyone, just picked up my razr yesterday, got the white one. I previously had an htc evo 3d, loved the phone, but sprints promise to bring 4g to my area was the deal breaker. Already rooted the beast and look forward to a lot of reading lol. I want to thank all the developers here in advance, you guys take a good phone and make it great, now on to some reading lol
I welcome you to the XDA community! You're gonna have loads of fun with the RAZR. Enjoy mate!

Welcome, here is some about moto & moto tools u will need:

I too am thinking of jumping ship from Sprint to Verizon. My Evo 3D became possessed and the screen and numbers would make selections on their own. I got the Galaxy Epic 4G Touch, and I've learned Samsung makes terrrible phones.
Charging port on the first one broke after 2 weeks. ICS development has all but stalled on the 98798 leaks we have (FC22) and NONE of them work properly. They're all terrible leaks, none worth of being used daily.
I'm wondering how is THE CDMA development on this device? I looked in the forums and there NO screenshots of ANY CDMA roms. I see a lot of GSM stuff but well, I guess I better not go there.
While I've never been a big poster on XDA, I have posted on various developers sites. After almost two years sticking right by my trusty 3vo, I am sadly moving on.
My phone was stolen over the weekend. I tracked it down with lookout, but was only able to get a general location from signal flare when the phone died. I had the option of paying $100 for a replacement, or $50 to upgrade +phone. $250 and one Optimus G later, here I am.
Point of this thread is to say thank you to all the amazing devs we have for the 3vo. I have donated a little here and there where I could, but still wanted to just say thank you for giving us your time to make our community what it is. Hope the Optimus community turns out to be as amazing as this one was.
Thanks for everything guys! XD
Enjoy your Optimus. Too bad your leaving the Evo family.
But there's a thread for Goodbyes already!

Latest LG Optimus looks pretty decent.
I was going to go with the Evo 4G LTE or the Optimus, but when I learned about Ting (on Sprint) I decided against getting locked into another 2 year contract. Instead I picked up a used (but great condition) Evo 3D for $80 shipped and now enjoying an average 50% break on my monthly cellular bill! :good:

ENJOY your optimus. Try cerberus anti-theft
Sorry to hear that bro. The evo is an amazing phone and will still be a testament of legendary as years go by and all of us have moved on. I still got my evo 3d and continue to update it and tinker around with it. Because root is awesome and flashing is an addiction lol.
I hope your experience with your optimus is as good as this community. This is the best community I have ever belonged in. Cheers:good:
