I would hardly say things are dead at xda, there is plenty of GB development, kernel development, liquid acer ports, meizu ports, and even the good ole Sense ROMs are seeing a little action. I think the thing with the Sense ROMs is that for the most part, they all work very well and flawlessly, and without an update pushed from HTC and/or Sprint, there is little reason to update the ROM builds unless something major comes along like jschi's pull-down widget port...

As far as PPCGEEKS goes, this place was slammin with CDMA WM development, while xda has always been the king of development on GSM, and really, overall. There has always been more app development at xda, as well as ports, patches, kernels, and mods in general. With the fall of WM and rise of Android, xda was just way ahead of the game, being that they were 1.5 years ahead (Android started on GSM), by the time the EVO was released- the phone many people switched to from the TP2.

I think its dead in general. I have nothing to post on the Rom front. What annoys me is that we don't have 2.3 and they are talking about 2.4 already coming out

my EVO is way cooler than yours

+1 on ppl already talking about Coldstone (2.5) and what not... can we please take baby steps folks?

Coldstone? Gingerbread-2.3, "ice cream"- 2.4.....next one would logically be called jellybean, jelly donut, juju bean, jolly rancher etc. Any hoot, rumor says that it will go from 2.4 straight to 3.

2.3 is taking so long to come out given the code has been out forever now. How can 2.4 be announced before anyone gets 2.3?

Not to beat a dead horse, but I feel the same way as the op. I havent had my evo for a. Long time yet, but I felt that there was more going on in the evo forums before I got mine. But I do agree, coming from the touc pro, this phone isn't in need of the overhaul that the pro did. I'm lovin mine so far!!!!!!!

Go with the Wimax Alpha2 (really a beta). It's the only AOSP rom with 4G working. Only real issue is no 4G icon. This is assuming you are in a 4G area.

[ROM][WIP][ALPHA 2] - Wimax for CyanogenMod 6.1.2! Makes your everything go bigger! - xda-developers
