[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
HTC isn't going to sue any one person for accusations of warranty fraud.

They can't afford the negative publicity. They would charge full price for the repair and you can either take it or leave it. Correct me if I'm wrong but any business (small or large) has a right to refuse service. Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty. HTC has made several efforts to warn their consumers of the risks of doing so. If we are willing to ignore those warnings then we are and should be on our own.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Wow. Just wow. I can't believe the righteous attitude adopted by some of the posters in this thread. The guy returned a phone that will get reconditioned and resold. He didn't rape a baby. I'm glad all of you have been 100% honest in all of your dealings throughout your lives. I'm sure none of you have ever made a mistake and managed to avoid the consequences of your actions by some kind of minor deceit. Let's tone down the rhetoric a bit shall we.

I'm considering buying an Amaze and would hope for the same type of support I have received in the Hero forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I don't have such "holier than thou" attitude. I'm not perfect. I've deceived others. I just don't make a habit of it. I pride myself in my integrity. However I too have bricked my Samsung Vibrant from an OC kernel. I didn't blame the developer, I didn't blame anyone else. I called T-Mobile and since I bought it on Craigslist they said that I would have to go through Samsung directly. Samsung tried to troubleshoot with me and determined it inoperable. Good news is that it was still under warranty. I sent it into them and a week later I got it back fully working. They didn't ask any questions and didn't charge me a dime. I don't favor Samsung products but their customer service was A+ in my book because of that experience. That's what matters to them. However... this is HTC. Totally different company unfortunately. Experiences may vary.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
I am willing to admit that the thread went off the rails a little.

I don't actually think anyone is going to be arrested or sued over this. I'm not even saying that I haven't done things that I'm not proud of, in my life . The point here was correcting people that say that the practice hurts no one.

There are consequences, even if they are not legal. Mainly, it gives carriers and manufacturers reason to limit access to phones further. Another example being that my insurance company, stopped covering smartphones under my homeowners policy, because of so many people submitting "questionable" claims.

I have no problem with how Binary handled his situation. He was straight forward and honest, letting the manufacturer decide how they wanted to handle it. They chose to take care of him, and good on them for it. Everybody walks away happy.

That's all I'm saying...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jboch9510:
Wow... I created quite a sh*t storm on this issue. I'm glad that I was not the only person that took issue with what this person did.

I support developers. However, this support stops short of supporting the individual that begins hacking their device after reading only a few posts. I also acknowledge that this type of fraud makes developers' lives harder when HTC further locks down their devices.

The fraud was wrong, plain and simple. I honestly do hope that the charges get added to the posters bill, maybe then he'll learn something.

Hi,

I am an Android user. Now using samsung galaxy ace. I have upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3.3 XXKPE.

I want to upgrade it to 2.3.4 and just realize that there is so much code for the same 2.3.4 version (as 2.3.3 also), eg: ZSKPD, DXKPB, DDKQ5, and many more.

Can anyone help me what meant by that code?

thank you for your kind help.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i500:
I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:

Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah

Fast: Better performance then the original ROM

Good battery life: This is a MUST

Clean: No crapware preinstalled

And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...

Thanks guys :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reodan92:
Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i500:
Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.

So i need something stable.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i500:
You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM :D

I'll have to give it a try then.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmg3363:
acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0

This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.

Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlzzt:
SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.

You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reodan92:
Any other opinions or suggestions?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Might as well wait a week or two now that official GB source has just dropped. See what pans out. It should be awesome.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2574792:
Big fan of Launcher Pro. Buttery smooth with some nice customization options. However, half the time, I have to FC the launcher on reboot... marginally annoying =(

Zeam is also very smooth. But... not so many features. Haven't figured out how to customize dock icons.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
Go Launcher is the smoothest, most versatile, and FREE, launcher I've used.

I've tried nearly every one available and keep going back to Go. It's just so slick... And so FREE!

Gingerbread stock launcher is the most horrible launcher - even worse than HTC sense.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Zardos66:

ADW EX. The fact that you can tweak just about everything is what sold me. Runs super smoothly for me.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wild1z:
ADW 1.36 the one provided by CM7. Only after I learned how to lock the desktop. ;)

Otherwise my second go to was Zeam the Go. But they always conflicted with the stock launcer in some way after awhile. Fixable and definitely livable but ADW for me.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dhiral.v:
Stock FTW!

I've tried all the available launchers out there and I keep finding myself going back to stock. Stock is best when it comes to smoothness and stability, and doesn't make me want to throw my phone in the ocean after a day.

LauncherPro.

Although it lacks frequent updates, it's still the smoothest launcher I've used. I use Desktop Visualizer and SiMi clock as my only widgets so the "lack of features" isn't an issue for me.

Zeam is my favorite. I like the secondary dock option the best (scrolling dock). It's also smooth and light, without a bunch of features I'll never use.

For the person asking how to change the icons, I use better cut, usually with the custom launcher icon pack.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] pitmaster:

This 1000 times. I prefer stock over anything else. In fact, I don't think CM is doing itself any favors by including ADW over stock in its distribution. At least include both so people don't have to hunt for the stock launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] voyager_s:
Well ive tried quite a few...here's how i see it.

My favorite has been launcher pro. Its the most stable one first off. Its also got a good amount of customization options. Not as much as some others but good enough. Stability is key for me.

ADW Launcher EX is another good option. Quite a lot more customization options than launcher pro. Quite stable too. However i find it lags a bit every now and then. I've used it for quite lengthy period of time on more than one occasion but i always ended up going back to launcher pro. Its a bit smoother i find. Otherwise ADW EX is an excellent option too.

Go launcher...loads of of customizations. More than the the other two above i think. However i always find it lags and slowsdown a lot more in comparison with ADW and Launcher pro. Its still good but i would rank it behind those two above.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Zanza00:

GO Launcher EX: the best theme experience. has the widest array of good looking themes, IMO.

ADW EX: has a bug when switching from landscape to portrait in which some widgets stay sized for landscape. can't launch shortcuts with swipe actions. currently, no advantages to this over GO

LauncherPro: not interested in the bundled widgets, long forgotten by developer (edit: nevermind, http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8347&start=90#p36225)

Zeam: simple, nice. like a stock experience with a few nice features added

I've tried just about everything and always come back to Launcher Pro Plus. ADW and Go Launcher are very nice (in terms of options), but I like to have 7 screens loaded with Widgets and icons, and they get all bogged down and choppy once everything is set up. Launcher Pro has always run fast and smooth no matter what I throw at it.

Go launcher ex. Absolute
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] irishrally:
I use Zeam but decided to re-try GO Launchers EX after all the rave reviews on here. GO has lots of features but here are the things I miss from Zeam:

- Speed/smoothness: GO was significantly slower and less smooth than Zeam. I had to bail on teuv (880 mhz) and go to T11 for this trial period.

- Scrolling dock customizations: I was happy to see the scrolling dock on GO similar to Zeam. I miss the ability to change the spacing between the icons in the dock which in turn lets you choose the icon size and number of icons available on each dock screen. I have 7 icons per dock screen with Zeam, don't think you can do that with GO. You can also have as few icons in the dock with Zeam, like one or two and align them to the left right or center of the dock.

- Action bindings: GO has swipe up and down just like Zeam but does not have double tap. I use swipe up for app drawer, down for notifications and double tap for dialer.

GO is solid, but I prefer Zeam.

EDIT: The only downside of Zeam is that they removed the scrollable widget api after version 2.8.8. You can still use 2.8.8 if you have to have scrolling widgets.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Linus_BE:
Scrolling in the app drawer isn't smooth with Zeam I think.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Revin:
The only thing that I don't like about Zeam is the home button in app drawer. There should be option to hide it so there can be one more row (I have one home button under the screen, I don't need another one little bit higher)

I used Zeam Launcher for a while and I think it's one of the best in terms of speed, stability, and responsiveness.

I also like the Metro UI on Windows Phone 7 so I've been using Launcher7 for a few days now.

Nemus Launcher is also pretty good, but can get pretty choppy at times.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] frenccw:
Launcher 7 has been perfect for me but have recently switched the LPP because i was just getting bored of the metro UI.

Lancher Pro Plus' swipe gestures for dock items are really indispensable for me once i starting using them to launch alternate apps. For ex. swiping up on Gmail launches Hotmail, or swiping up Browser to launch Opera Mobile. It becomes really intuitive if you choose the right shortcuts :cool:
