Bryan Owens is leaving the Ally scene, confirmed on his Twitter. It was a great run. Thanks for everything.

Will we see Velocity 1.1 before it's all over? That'd be nice, but waddaya gonna do? Seems like our Allys have been pretty much fully pushed and maxed out about as far as they go, ...and then some! -Rock on!!!!!!

With Verizon taking away our early upgrade discount in the New Every 2 program, that leaves folks like me waiting another year before shopping for a new phone. I would hope that inclines some of the developers who may be in a similar situation to keep tweaking the Ally for at least several more months.

awww man, guess its inevitable though. Glad I got my Ally all maxed out using this great forum for the, ROMs, ect. from AWSOME devs.

....also glad I got me a cheap Droid to play with along with this lil TBolt. Good luck guys.

BTW....I STILL love what my Ally had become with 2.2 Velocity 4.

 

[azuma73]

2.2 Vel 4????

 

[Zoandroid]

I am guessing he meant 2.1 Velocity 0.4

If you know why, could you tell us the motive?

Also, you are a great dev and it sucks to see you moving away from the Ally. I have been following you since you ported FroYo to the Ally before LG could. Thank you for everything, you will be missed by the community.

Ditto here! Thanks for everything you have done for all of us, and also for helping me when I needed rescuing.

I guess it was inevitable. Truthfully I think we should be glad it lasted as long as it did. The Ally was a crappy phone that got a lot of peoples attention cause it was CHEAP or FREE. Given the speed with which new turns into obsolete, I would have guessed it would have happened after V0.4 but we got one more out of it and it is awesome, still. Well this is the end of the Ally then, I'm so happy with the progress it's made during my time with it. Thanks to Trident, Savoxis, Getitnowmarketing and everyone else who helped to make this baseline phone a truly enjoyable device/experience. So anyone know a good phone to switch to? I mean, this thing is at nearly the end of it's life, another few months maybe and then what? I would like to root/ROM my next phone too, it was so much fun learning my way through the Ally, I'd like to continue with a new one. Suggestions???

Since I have another year to go before upgrading, I'm not ready to nail the coffin shut just yet.

No need to think the Ally will be abandoned just because the prominent pioneers of its polishing decide to retire. Someone else may pick up the flag.

It would be awsome to see a "final" velocity release! But im not sure if there is much more that can be done.......thx for making the ally a phone worth using! I think ill be giving dinc a shoot for my next phone,

 

[azuma73]

OK, call me stupid or whatever but, what's a dinc?

Anyone able to tell me how to access SD card partition 2? I installed Z-device test and it tells me that I have 86780 kbytes free memory there to be used up. Just curious, hate to see this free space got to waste!

 

[Zoandroid]

How is that partition formatted?

 

[azuma73]

I'm not sure? Good question? How would I know? I formatted a long time ago.

 

[Zoandroid]

Presuming the inaccessible one may be a Linux partition, you can see all of the partitions from a Linux PC.

Okay! How do I do that?

 

[Zoandroid]

I'm guessing you aren't into Linux. What hardware did you use to format the SD card?

 

[azuma73]

I believe I formatted on my girl's pc running win7. Fat32 or whatever?

 

[Zoandroid]

Ah. Well, Win7 can access EXT partitons. So if you are now limited to WinXP, you could download the freeware GParted (download the ISO file). Then use it to create a bootable GParted disc. GParted can access and work with/create/delete all kinds of partitions. I had used it to format the EXT partition back before Velocity 1 and Froyo. It is easy to use and pretty much intuitive.

Sooo I went and installed 1.0 onto my ally and it says everythings fine and dandy but when I boot my phone it goes to the "velocity" screen for about half a second and then turns off. Please help. Thanks yo.

Plug your charger into the wall, plug that into your phone. Let it sit for a while and see what that does for you. Sounds like your trying to boot up to a dead battery.
