Just wondering if anyone still has this phone? I let my wife by it without doing research...didn't have time....and so regret getting it. Canadian version only...no real activity rom wise...and even if they put official jb out....still wont be much dev activity. So still will be not many rom options.
That being said....simply to get her a phone with more options available(roms ) , since cm9 seems to be the only stable option on the i757m....I'm thinking of getting her a used s2....a t989 or i9100. I have a t989 and rom activity is great and ongoing! Does anyone know here in Canada....will either of these phones work on bell if they are unlocked? Or even the nexus....not the new n4...the older model. I've never unlocked a phone....so I'm kinda clueless about it.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you read the general section, why not searching for a "should I get an SII" or "what s ii variant is better"?
Topic: I757m...anyone here?(echo ) <---- very specific topic you got there.

Oh, by the way, get her a I9100, well supported (ROMs & Q&A as it's massive worldive), International (so yes, will work with Bell) and because it's awesome
The topic heading was a stab at that phone! Almost like I feel I'm the only one in the world with it....and I'm not a dev ....so I'm boned! LOL
I know all s2's are great...but I was more wondering about the i9100 working on bell.
But actually ....I looked more into it....might go with last generation at&t nexus. They apparently will work with bell....and I do love my nexus 7!
Thank you tho!

We need to get the ball rolling again by the looks of whats going on with cricket they are discontinuing the phone.. This means no update will be available to the zio cricket users. Cricket dooped us to thinking a rom update would be available to clear out all the inventory of the zio. This way they can make more room for new phones they dont have to pay to upgrade.
i know we as a community had successfully had a sprint 2.1 rom on the 1.6 cricket phone. i know there are compatibilities that are not the same but the phone is doomed to 1.6 and by the looks of how cricket is playing this they keep saying dates so they can keep the customers from returning the phones. so now we are stuck with a phone without any updates and now wasted our cash on a phone that could have been so much better.
The sad thing is the cricket users were the ones burnt here not cricket. lets get the project rolling again thanks.
I agree. I'm not into the technical aspects *yet* but I am willing to experiment.

I was not wanting to hear about cricket discontinuing the Sanyo zio, but not suprised. Gonna need tips on creating phone space for more apps, currently running froyo update n loving it.
So, the development has kind of spuddered on the Amaze, and since I could not get S-on to work, I got stuck with the terrible radio on the ICS, and no way to get back to the stock radio.
I think I am ready to leave HTC for a while, too, just want a different look, something besides SENSE. I'm know I am in the Amaze forum, but what phone would you consider getting. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II if I can. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store, but the slower data kind of bothers me a bit. It is HSPA+ 21, and coming from the Amaze with HSPA+ 42, I'm not sure if I want the decrease. What to do, what to do?

Can you explain "So, the development has kind of spuddered on the Amaze"? Why do you think you need s-off to flash a different radio? If you aren't happy with ICS then find the leaked RUU for gingerbread, rename it and install it the same way you did with ICS..
The hardware of the phones you named is inferior to the amaze, and there are plenty of phones that are better than those-- I am thinking you just aren't doing very good research.
I couldn't get S-off for a while too. Turned out my problem was the wire was too small. You could try a bigger one if you couldn't get it to work.
I am.
Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

This thread makes my insides hurt from sadness.
Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

I don't see why anyone would go apple. No customization ,no external memory ,basically bland apple and worst of all you only get what daddy apple says you can have.

Wish you luck. Everyone is different. It's Important everyone is comfortable with what they have.
Thread Closed, please go and use one of the other threads in OT to discuss all iphone 5 (Kitten Killer Phone) topics.
Hey guys, my friend has an evo 3d and he is having trouble with crashes etc on stock. He asked if I could root his phone for him. Could you throw out some suggestions for the smoothest most reliable cdma rom for this phone. Keep in mind, after I flash the phone he will probably never update the from so make it a good one! Thanks.

Nearly all the ROMs in development section are stable unless they are labled alpha. If he wants to remain stock, a master reset is probably needed.
I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 and it is amazing. Great ROM and best of all its Jellybean. The only thing I've found wrong with this ROM is the 3d doesn't work. But 3d on phones is lame anyhow. Kinda a gimmick more than anything.
Android Revolution or MeanROM. I wouldn't recommend any others as ultra stable and fully working, as I'll assume if he's anything like my brother, it's going to have to be perfect... Otherwise he'll never let you near one of his devices again.
If he's on Virgin Mobile, go with Harmonia.
I do not recommend flashing any kernel other than stock either, unless you are positively 200% sure it will never break down. Stock kernel as I have seen is the most bug free (although definitely NOT the smoothest, not by a long shot).
Make sure you tell him what you're doing if you decide to flash a custom kernel, and do NOT under any circumstances over clock. If he accidently touches something and ends up at 1.8gHz and performance governor, (while he may come to you to try and fix it) he may also end up obliterating the hardware on his phone.
I only know from past experiences.
So to end on a final note.
Enhanced stock is really the only way to go to ensure ultimate stability. And unless he is going to flash ROMs himself, that's my opinion.

To be honest, this is my first time experience with fake phone. But the first time I look, i thought it was real.
So, my friend bought Samsung Galaxy S III in china. She bought with a very cheap price, about $200. I thougt she can get that very low price because pass tax or black market. I already suspicious when im setting that phone, and i found many chinese app with chinese write, and cannot be uninstall. So i just disable it. I thought it using chinese firmware. Its menu on setting also different from other S3. There is no S-Voice on this phone. When im trying to connect with Samsung Kies, it not Detected.
And when im open the backlid, it surprised me. Here's the picture :

LOL
And theese are some screenshot I took

Chinese app
Phone Info
China really good at cloning something. IMPOSIBRU !!
And my friend give me authorities to do whatever with this phone, because she cant use skype and some apps. She still dont know yet that this phone is fake.
And my question is :
It is possible to change its ROM to a custom ROM ? Maybe use Rom that using same kernel?
If theres no possibilites, I will put my hands up and give this back to her, and laugh.
I guess the phone will have different hardware, kernel etc., hence it will be dangerous to try a I9300 rom on it. Give it a try if you don't care that it becomes a brick, otherwise don't do it

you'd most probably brick it. it's like trying to flash a honda pilot dashboard firmware onto a bmw 5 series dashboard firmware. different hardware and software. (even if it's both android, it's hardware wont allow it to work.
