Dev Explosion

[bilgerryan]

I find it funny that after the Shift has been named EOL and put on the list for not getting ICS that there seems to have been an explosion of development. It seems there is something new in the development section every day for the past two weeks. It's awesome. And I would just like to personally thank everyone who had contributed to development on the Shift... This is my first Android phone and I am amazed by the work you guys do. Thank you all four making my phone run better, faster, and more fun... Long Live The Shift!

Yeah but you and I both knoww that the processor in the shift is really 1.2 ghz. Htc and sprint had to underclock it so it wouldn't piss all over the og evo... And what's the point of a dual core? There aren't a lot of apps that utilize the second core, and if I'm not mistaken, isn't the 3d's second core pretty much used up by the gimmicky 3d? The shift went almost a year and a half before eol, the 3d is already there a mere 6 months after release. I'm hoping htc releases one last slider, with the sensation/doubleshot processor or a qualcomm s3 processor, a f.f.c., and world phone capabilities. Those are just my hopes, and since my headphone jack took a $hit on me today, it couldn't come soon enough!

1.2 gHz . With that kernel you did I was able to hit 1.996 gHz ondemand . Ran the crap out of it, but honestly what's the use of running it that high. Plus it got a little warm . SO I figured no need to push my luck. Once again drob thanks the kernel is Bad A$$ . Shift till the parts run out .

Honestly man the s3 isn't much to boast about, I'm not even impressed with it at 1.5. Yeah It's dual core, but I have yet to notice that I'm even running a dual core device. My speedy will keep up and run apps just as fast as my doubleshot. Yeah I benchmark 2k better but in real world usage I still think the shift has been the most dominant device I've ever used.

It's going to be tough "replacing" the Shift once my upgrade arrives (Nov) plus the Shift Community is the best ever!!!

 

[Bfitz26]

dual core phones are actually pretty quick but agreed the shift does compete very closely with them but the issue imo is the dual core saves a lot of battery power and the ram is the biggest thing for me most of those dual cores have a gig of ram whitch was a big deal for me..

 

[bilgerryan]

I'm just hoping my Shift can hold out long enough for HTC to release something I'm excited about... And can afford, on Sprint... Damn it might be awhile

 

[Bfitz26]

with a keyboard probably a while however the evo lte looks pretty nice..probably where i am swtiching but i am looking to see if we could ever get quad core in the next couple of months i always upgrade at the wrong time..

 

[bilgerryan]

I'm not too worried about a slider, I don't think anyone is gonna make them anymore, which sucks but it is reality... We might get a quad core if Crapple quits holding up phones in customs

 

[bilgerryan]

I have still got about a year before I can upgrade, maybe some new technology will come out so phones don't have to be 5".. I love the size of my Shift personally, I can do everything with one hand (except the hardware keyboard) and I can carry it in my pocket and still be able to bend over without fear of snapping it in half

 

[slantyshanty]

I could give a damn about dual or quad cores... Whatever makes my phone battery last the longest with HEAVY use... I travel a lot!

I sure wish they would make another slider. The only reason I got the shift was because my touch pro 1 fell apart, I stole parts from my wife's TP (after she got an og evo) and after another year of use my TP fell apart again. I rode that ***** until the wheels fell off! I miss that phone...

Anyway, love my shift though. LOVE a keyboard. Love metal parts in my phone because I'm hard on them with all of the travel. (Not like the epic)

 

[thronnos]

Yep... This shift has treated me right. Good times and bad. I still remember when I first joined this community... Haha... But my upgrade is in a few months (novish) and I love the HW keyboard. I definitely use it. but the amount of times I use it... It's not a lot. I was thinking the EVO LTE if sprints LTE network proves to be good... If not I'm considering jumping ship to Verizon.

Hell the shifts 800mhz was a beast and really it was the GPU inside of it that was nice. But the 3vos s3 is a nice upgrade and runs sense 3.0 (3.6 now) way faster than even the fantastic devs here were able to do. Btw I got around to trying your kernel on the old shift drob! Wonderful job! Ran great!

But now the new evos out and smokes everything :-( lol

Well here is how "well" the S3 runs AOSP clocked at 1.7=see everyone dual core isn't that fancy, I still miss my S2

Damn that sucks. This is with our ICS leak for Virgin Mobile and completely stock kernel and everything

I wonder what htc is doing to the doubleshot

Also here is battery clocked at 192 min/702max ram is more but I have 768mb but honestly still there is no advantage
