Good bye thread

I'm going to stick with the fascinate for a few more months at least. I'm not looking to pay Verizon money to beta test a phone as I just did that on the early days of the fascinate. For now I'm going to enjoy a solid stable phone with plenty of roms.

Those of us who cannot upgrade right away have that advantage. In a couple of months there's gonna be plenty of quality, stable work waiting for us

There are plenty of ROMs for the G-Nex between XDA and Rootzwiki, but here's the problem in 2 parts:

1. The device is new, so the ROMs are new, and most are basically the same underneath, just stock with a couple of minor tweaks.

2. When you get an AOSP phone, everyone thinks he's a "dev" because he can pack a few apps and scripts into a zip file (one guy in irc called them "Winzip ROMs). It's like there's a legion of Enyo's over there.

There are also more kernels in Rootzwiki than a Pop Secret factory - same problem as the one with ROMs. If you don't know the "dev", you really are taking your phone's life in your hands flashing them.

Has anyone seen John Connor?

Hey whats your guys opinion on the moto razr? I know locked bootloaders suck, but a member has one brand new with good esn for 380.00. Seem like a deal? All though I dont think I can stray away from samsung at this point....

Yeah it's a deal, $380 outright is hard to beat (try to find out all you can about this guy before you trust him, though, 'cause the deal is almost too good to be true) - btw, the RAZR also has a Super AMOLED display...

That's a great deal but beware of the seller. I was really impressed with the razr. Smoother than any other VZW phone (except the gnex), great ergonomics and hardware. I imagine that when it gets ICS it'll be on par with the gnex.
Imo, it's another phone that doesn't really need rooting.

Jesus, tough decision! On the one hand the seller has been a member for 3 years, but 380 for a brand new razr is way too cheap. That's $300 off retail

I changed the launcher to go ex and the phone flew through everything. Blur is not that intrusive (it was actually very close to aosp)And eventually somebody will come up with the boot strap

Post #12 and #17 he says he bought it off of Craigslist and really can't say that he is 100% certain that it has a clean ESN.

yeah even if the phone is great, i personally will never buy another moto product until they stop with the bs of encrypting their bootloaders

i know htc has security on the phones, but they offer unlock solutions for all but vzw devices...and i blame verizon for that, not htc

I'm sure the bootloaders will be unlocked once the Google buyout is complete...

maybe/maybe not

google has said they will let motorola run as an independent company/unit essentially

google didnt buy them to get into the handset business...they bought them for patents and profitability....if moto wireless or w/e its called makes money doing what it is doing, i dont see google stepping in that much

especially since they dont want to upset their other handset partners...they ll want it to seem like they dont run the company, just own it as as an absentee partner

Yep...its hard to drop 380 on a device if your not sure its got a good esn. Probably why nobody jumped on it yet.

 

[xwhofarted]

LOL i went to the mall last night and i looked at the nexus and the sales man comes up to me and this is the first thing he said to me: "Pretty futuristic, isn't it?" I almost laughed in his face. That is his big line? I was going to ask it it does holograms but i wasnt that quick on my feet. LOL

I didn't have the hart to show him i already had the ICS on my Fassy

It doesn't mean the seller is dishonest. It's just that he' s not even sure himself if the esn is clear

oh i know...just sayin thats most likely why nobody bought it yet.

I odined chainfires modded stock kernel that includes root and unlocks the boot loader. Worked great he seems pretty respected around the forums so I knew it would prob work out okay. Now just waiting (rather anxiously) for voodoo sound port. Only thing I truly miss.
