As mentioned, that really only applies to people that want to take advantage of developer mods. Most people will be satisfied with basic roms and such that don't require an unlocked bootloader. I'd much rather have a higher quality phone with a locked bootloader than a phone with bad design features out of the box that offers an unlocked bootloader. There's always a chance the bootloader will be unlocked and it's definitely not unheard of.

Just to further your point... root is probably one of the most common "mods" that someone will do to their phone and an can be done with a locked bootloader. I think that people that want to do do significant modifications to their phones (anything beyond root) are in the minority and are just over-represented by the very nature of this forum.

After the thunderbolt it will be a long time before I ever consider a htc product again. There is something appealing to me that motorola waited to get the bionic right before releasing. I'm sticking with my bionic till my next upgrade.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I wouldn't say they got it right. It still has it's bugs and after how long it was delayed, there shouldn't be as many bugs as it has. I do love the bionic, but i do feel that Motorola fumbled it. When this phone was first announced, it was seen as the top dog and by the time it was released, it no longer was.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
If you want to get technical about it.. These are the Bionic forums, not the razr, not the nexus or rezound. I'm sure they have some section for people to cry over their current phones and drool over future releases?

[Milestone XT720 General] hrm143:
Hi Guys,

I have installed and used CM-7.1.0-11.10.12 (Odexed Rom) on my Milestone xt720 and I like the keyboard layout and functionality...can any one help me get the keyboard to my new ROM?

I do not prefer the Ginger_Original_Glass-signed one but J.Y.Daddy's CM-7 keyboard is much better, I can update it from the recovery. Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
You should beagle to back it up with appbackup app.

System app remover you can back it up on storage card.
[Milestone XT720 General] hrm143:
thank you...let me reflash with J.Y.Daddy's CM-7 rom and post..
[Milestone XT720 General] hrm143:
I reflash and did titanium back up sys apps for apparently korean keyboard but it not working force closing in the new custom rom. Is there anyway, how to do it?

Is Google's Korean IME what your looking for?
[General Questions and Answers] freefall2:
Hi All, had a good search and can't seem to find the type of answer I am after but surely this has happened to someone else.

I rooted for the first time last night and am running the latest verision of Gingervillain.

I placed LauncherPro on it (like I used to have pre rooting) and have set up my widgets. But, when the phone reboots I am back to its original form and no LauncherPro. So I switch back to LanucherPro but my widgets all state "problem loading widget"

Anyone else had this issue on this rom or any others? Thanks in advance.

In his behalf the nook color is running a honeycomb sdk port mixed with system dumps so its not impossible. But not close to a daily driver in everyone elses defense.

I'm aware I've tried that sdk ported honeycomb on the nook color but can you honestly call that working it's laggy and is incompatible with very many apps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shadowdrag96:
Lol I vote for him as a mod ;) REAL MOD can you move it to general
[Motorola Droid Bionic] frostincredible:
It's actually completely possible. The DInc got a full GB SDK port. The Nexus S has a ICS SDK port. The G2 (I believe by siulmagic) has an SDK port. It's just all those phones are unlocked completely. The 2nd-init used on Moto phones would be too hard and not worth the time for an only partly working port. With how close CM is, just wait for CM9 (CM8 would've been Honeycomb for all those about to ask "but i didn't c no cm 8 !?"). It will come. With time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.garrett:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] xaero252:
Motorola just announced an ICS upgrade for the bionic via facebook (not sure if they intended to, theres a thread on rootzwiki about it. Some guy asked if it was going to get ICS, moto said yes, but they wouldn't disclose a time frame to expect it until Google had the final ICS build ready.

In other words, we should continue to see numerous testing builds on the servers, for months to come.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
A lot of us would hope to have a developer based option up and running by the time that might be released. The current estimated dates would be no earlier than the RAZR gets ICS, so we're still months away from any official release.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.garrett:
I think we'll definitely see dev releases first. VZW can't be excited about ICS allowing removal of any apps even without root. That's going to cause some internal delays.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shadowdrag96:
You think you could put up a link for that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Why do people assume the Razr will get ICS before the Bionic does? Just because they said the Razr will get it doesn't mean it will get it before the Bionic. I'd say its safe to say that any device being released with gingerbread will be updated to ICS. My guess would be to look for it in late winter/early spring.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shadowdrag96:
Yah we're gonna need a port in too impatient to wait that long :P lol

TH3ORY I think has a version of Ice Cream Sandwich going on a custom ROM soon. I don't know if it's a skin or the actual thing, but he's been teasing it all day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dotson817:
He did say he was very excited to present 2.1:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
He's just using Muff Stuff's ICS theme as his default now. It's a sick theme. Can't wait.
[Desire HD General] Chad_Petree:
I dont think HTC has decided what to do with sense after seeing ics , most of the funcionality they offer wasnt present on any android version until gingerbread and now ics includes most of those, do you think they're going to do something similar to windows phone and use almost stock android but with their apps and services like weather, htc sense account etc? :confused:
[Desire HD General] SupaAvenger79:
I personally despise sense and hope HTC starts to give us little android virgins, but I am sure for marketing purposes they will keep cramming there software on there products so they have some claim to originality.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
We can but live in hope, and maybe they will make the apps user removable too
[Desire HD General] Tamen:
ICS has a feature that all apps can be disabled (equivalent to 'freezing' in titanium backup - not removed but can't run)

If you root you can have anything you like - try CM7 (and when released, CM9 with ICS).

What kind of functionality did sense add? It was very pretty and the widgets were very good (calendar, for example) - but did it add any extra features?
[Desire HD General] daedric:
I actually like Sense. Of all "major frameworks" like TouchWize and Blur and what not, Sense comes on TOP (my opinion only).

Now, can we live without sense? Perfectly.

Will HTC abandon Sense in ICS? Doubt it.

P.S. i run a rom with Sense daily... so.. biased :D
[Desire HD General] peacekeeper05:
I hope so. I hate sense. I only like the widgets and the social network integration on the contacts app. After getting rid of sense my phone became faster and battery lasts longer.

But now, the stock launcher and features of ICS is better than sense. Even the widgets looks better now.

But i doubt they will remove sense 100%. I just wish that they won't be changing the stock ICS UI that much.
[Desire HD General] daedric:
This is my point! Pick Sense, remove social integration, custom widgets, dialer, sms app, and all the other minor things, and yout get AOSP. And the you miss those things.

I agree, Sense IS HEAVY. But for what it does, it's the best. How many apps would one have to install on AOSP to get the full sense functionality? And how slower would that device be with that amount of apps interchaining themselves?
[Desire HD General] peacekeeper05:
^

in short. ditch sense for the ICS UI :)
[Desire HD General] springy:
HTC will always add there own interpretation on what they think Ice Cream Sandwich will look like, and that is the way it is. But what I do hope is that they build on top of what Google has done instead of stripping everything out.

For example, mail apps, people apps are not stock and they should try to keep it true to what Google intended and maybe use the API that are exposed by Google to add there on stuff on top.

Also they should try to build a launcher that is not so heavy integrated to how the whole OS works, instead decouple it away so if there are updates needed to the OS it can fit nicely on top.

So no I don't think Sense will fade away, but I do hope the way they implement it is as close to stock as possible, just adding features on top of it.
[Desire HD General] ace9988:
i don't see the point in complaining about this since pretty much all of us here on this forum have the ability to root and just install vanilla ROM, or whatever you want

for the average user (NOT US!) HTC don't seem to do a pretty decent job with Sense, since developers here can prepare some very highly optimised versions. What i would prefer is for HTC to look at the ROMs present over here and take note.

I run RCMix HD sense 3.5 daily without any problems at all and while comparing it to my brother's iPhone 4, 9 times outta 10 this ROM is as smooth as or even smoother, and lets be fair as far as UI customisations go, HTC are alot further ahead than everyone else, but if they realise the potential in their own skin as the developers have shown, they could take a really hard fight to Apple as far as usability goes (hopefully with less lawsuits than samsung have).
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
HTC is not gonna remove sense 100%, as they mentioned before they gonna take it to next level sense 4.

So get ready
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Id tend to agree,the divide looks split with sense,personally i like sense. I tried cyn but reverted back,its different coming from say galaxy s to sense,you wont like it as much its your starting point dependant. Anyway yeah htc will continue. Nice
[Desire HD General] futur1sm:
HTC do something different with Sense and it's one of the reasons I (and others I know) bought an Android phone over another platform. The Sense UI seems to be much better than Touchwiz etc. (tried on Galaxy SII and was not a fan) - phones are a very personal choice at the end of the day and with Android we are a bit spoilt for choice between manufacturers. :D

Whatever HTC do now that Ice Cream Sandwich is inbound I look forward to their progress as they seem to be my preferred manufacturer right now, if I don't like what they come up with then I can always opt for the Galaxy Nexus or (judging by XDA currently) end up rooting and put stock a ICS ROM on there anyways.
[Desire HD General] Elvara:
I'm using sense and I must say I like it, when I saw the ics video launch it looked really similar to sense.

I really want to see what HTC is going to do and I hope it won't take too long...
[Desire HD General] skystealth:
Mymy, i love Sense, i have a Sense ROM in my phone everyday! I always thought that stock Android is ugly, but after i've seen ICS, i am ready to switch to ICS without regrets !
[Desire HD General] srikanth.naidu:
i concur with the observations of everybody one on this thread, sense is some times heavy , most times resource hungry but the most important aspect of it is the packaging, i tried every rom available here on XDA and found when i was on CM i always had to download additional stuff say for my calender's, social networking,word processing (apps to open .doc's and other stuff) and crucial of them camera !!! i am sure many will agree MIUI cam is heck of a lot better then what CM has !. But when i'm back on sense roms (RCmix,ARhd or lee) i dont need get these extra stuff.

The way is see it,if we are going to build some thing to have integration of various different aspects of using your phone with third party applications you are bound to have a heck up here or there but then its quite hard to see those kinda of heck ups happening on any these sense roms even on the beta one's ! so i guess coming from a sony branded x10 with there stupid philosophy and launcher , i believe integration and stability are the key factors of sense, the only other rom that i found such level of integration sans few heck ups are the MIUI roms but then there always the battery drain issue :( on them.

So as for ICS i believe HTC should try to carry the kind of integration they have sans the resource hunger nature of sense launcher , take some notes from other oem launchers like touchwiz where the complete os experience is not themed.

Just my observations :D
[Desire HD General] rageeed:
Actually i like sense but stock ICS looks promising to me. Would love to see a stock ICS with some sense widgets tho :D
[Desire HD General] smanthrav:
Exactly. I love how light and smooth CM feels but its just a whole lot more easier and convenient to have everything put on a platter in front of you....like Sense does. Especially with the social integration aspect in the people app and the calender.

Although an AOSP ICS Rom night change all of that for good. We do seem to have improvements in the contacts and calender apps.
[Desire HD General] springy:
Agree with this post totally... but what I am hoping now is that ICS is much better on a UI point of view that HTC would not need to change so much of the OS and just tweak it a bit to add a bit of differential. This hopefully mean that it won't be so heavy. But then saying so, HW acceleration will help so much in transitions on the UI that maybe it won't feel as heavy.

I feel HTC should add on top of the existing UI instead of stripping and re-writing most of the Google Code.
[Desire HD General] crazyjc81:
Sense is definitely one of the best UI customizations available for Android. The focus on social integration is its biggest strength. At the same time its so heavy that it brings my phone to a standstill sometimes, which makes me want to just go back to AOSP now and then.

To get to the point, I doubt HTC will let Sense fade away that easily. It is their identity, and as MrKaon already mentioned, they're going to take it to the next level. Because ICS has a lot of that functionality now built in, I'm hoping HTC will rework Sense to make it much lighter. I'm eager to see what more they do with it ! :)
[Desire HD General] gho5t82:
TBH, the only thing i can't live without would be the HTC Clock widget. I LOVE the flip style. Sadly, no after market widgets can come close to it. I'd be using MIUI right now if someone could figure out how to port the clock over. But then again, This Runny rom is the smoothest ive used so far.
[Desire HD General] Oli28:
I think HTC can still emprouve some things but now also stock android makes a lot of sense.... I hope HTC will do something really great! cause i mean its HTC:D:D

the nexus for sure unless you need expanded memory with micro sd. i definitely am going to get the 32gb one unless something pops up that says the sgx540 IS underpowered. i'm hoping we're under estimating it.
[General Topics] danmaskell:
I'm not certain on this (and who can be with the limited info they are releasing re: carriers and versions), but isn't the 32gb version only LTE with Verizon, and the pentaband version only 16gb? It would be great if we could have choice with either but that's not what I've read so far. The LTE version may be available with more than just Verizon, but I'm in Canada and need the pentaband version and have been told that will only come with 16gb.
[General Topics] Jmatch:
Everyone is hating on the nexus cause the Sgx540 is the same gpu as original galaxy S smartphones. This may be true but its clocked almost twice as high Witch is quite good.
[General Topics] pukemon:
Thats the first ive heard of 16 on penta only.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[General Topics] peacekeeper05:

Thanks Leo for promoting my Rezound videos.

Having used the phone for the past three days, I am most impressed with it. Though I am not done testing it yet, the battery appears to be significantly better than the Thunderbolt was (with stock ROM/Kernel).

Other things I love: The camera is awesome. Takes real sharp photos and has plenty of awesome effects. Raw video is also pretty outstanding (Obviously the YouTube videos have been compressed, etc.) I have a pretty good music ear and the beats audio enhancement really does improve on HTC's audio EQ.
