I'm gonna do it with the people i have hear i want aosp anyone can compile like nexus and be open based
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I'm new and don't know anyone on here and their expertise, but i Don't like the fact that if ppl have nothing good to say or contribute then don't go out there and put ppl down. The more the better and x is one of the ones I've noticed doing most of the work for the amaze imo. I hope this also isn't a put down to j either just something to chew on.

Back to topic, great work X looks like your doing some progress :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
its all good bro :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
the gsm is wierd it cuts in and out

may have fixed home button :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] amehdi43:
Hey xboarder56, I am sending you a PM please check it. Its not about testing or whatever, I'll need your help for this. Thanks.

Mind checking again?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Did that yesterday

Ya thanks everyone that did it let me get my mobo and cpu just got the hardrrive let but so expensive 150 dollars :0
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
who wants another preview :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
i do i do i do :d
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
lol uploading one and gits updated :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
New build for people wanting to try :D

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46431819/Amaze/ice/full_ruby-ota-eng.xboarder56.zip

- new kernel

- gsm works

- sdcard internel

- home button

- sound works
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Hey x when you say new kernel, do I need to flash the kernel through ur easy flasher utility?? Cause at the moment I can't do that
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
yes, as with any and all future kernels until we get s-off :)

although, binary100100 has developed his own little trick to flashing the kernel without s-off, but this kernel isnt packaged for that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
flash kernel in the zip :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
can the different kernel be substituted in binary's script? used it and it works good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
idk never test i would use kernel flasher right now becuase you dont have to boot up for it to work
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Man I don't understand :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Basically i think hes sayin to use kernel flasher bcuz that is the for sure way bcuz he hasnt tested substituting it through binarys zip. So its use kernel flasher or try other way at ur own risk but you may end up making ur fone unbootable until u can get to a pc to flash the correct way if it doesnt work...? Or something along those lines...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Nice, first time trying ICS and it looks awesome. It's about time they give android a facelift it's been the same for years. I never liked running AOSP but by the looks and feel of it I'm actually eager to run it once it's fully functional ;) THANKS X!!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
It's in the zip like xboarder said. It's called boot.img

Just my opinion here, but if you don't know what that is then maybe you should stay away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
reworked the whole source should make it easier to compile
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Pretty sure that isn't just your opinion, if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. Unless you like to brick a $400 phone, in which case you can just send it to me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
Not cool, I see you helped him but that second line was uncalled for man. We're all in the same boat here, the new ones obviously need some extra help to get started but that doesn't mean you should discourage him from trying...

Let's be clear and concise about the directions so people dont have to ask them over and over again, and I think its an XDA policy..... "if you dont have something good to say, than don't say it"
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
lets not start this, he was only giving advice, maybe he should educate himself a bit further before trying this, or you could end up with a brick. directions are all over the place, and google is everyones best friend :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Yeah guys I'm new to the amaze but I'm not new to android, thanks for all your help
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
It wasn't meant to be mean, but just exactly as it sounds: a warning.

This build of ICS is experimental and as xboarder has it listed as the thread title, a development project and a work-in-progress. For all you know, you could do everything correctly and still not be able to boot.

This should be for experienced people only. I'm all for teaching people new things, but maybe they should learn on something less experimental, no?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
Pretty guild build so far , i'm running it with MIUI launcher right now and it's running pretty good . If you use another launcher beside's stock it'll run faster . MMS / Calling work's fine but no internet so i'll be using it as my daily driver for now .

http://androidandme.com/2011/12/new...-cream-sandwich-flavored-htc-sense-leaks-out/

Just saw this in the news, passing it on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
that's for the htc sensation not the amaze , it's just a customized version of htc sense with ics .
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Could you guys stop posting about the sense ics Rom?!?! Besides I read it before anyone else lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] nixxofugi:
Delete that before xboarder sees it
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i may switch the rom to a port to speed it up and get it out faster
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flyin18T:
Bingo. Great idea.
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
If it gets a good version onto our devices sooner, I'm all for it! You don't have to prove to anyone that you can compile from source. Keep up the amazing work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
What would the difference between porting and compiling from source be in case you decide to port it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] squish099:
The port would probably come from the sensation leak with the hardware specific changes to run it on the amaze. From source would be taking aosp source and trying to code the specific changes to get everything working on the amaze.. Since and sensation and amaze share MOST of the same hardware it should be easier and faster to port the sensation leak. Of course I'm no developer and have no actual idea, this is just my understanding.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
you just cant compile it yourselfs thats the only thing
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
This would be awesome news x, you proven all you need to that your a great dev, hope to see you port ics over. The ultimate aosp and sense hybrid rom over on the sensation would be great on the amaze since its sense with alot of the ics stuff ported over like messaging and launcher etc...
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i will make one like that when we get the offical ics im working a aosp build right now hopefully i get something ready soon :D

btw its 4.0.1
[HTC Amaze 4G] dk_gh0st_:
Can't wait 4 the outcome ... Wait, with sense? Nevermind.. I live pure ICS. SENSE SUX. But it'll still be awesome to see

One of our strengths is our lack of direction- Eric Schmidt
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
no he said in the post right before yours he is going to do an aosp build.

[HTC Amaze 4G] evohog:
Cool bro, can't wait to see how quick ics runs on this beast. Much appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
glad to hear I hope you do something like that rom I mentioned I think its the perfect combination to get the ics benefits yet keep the sense framework to keep the important parts of sense that are much better then aosp :) can't wait to see what you got in store for us
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
can't wait for this to have gapps , internet working that way i could finally switch to ics .
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I figured I will cheat-- I lost track at around the time that xboarder said he was locking the thread.. has he released a alpha or beta to test that I haven't seen, or is it about to happen?

I'd have followed this more closely but the phone I was buying on here fell through, and now I am likely going to buy one on tmobile.. but still looking forward to playing with some ICS or something like it when I get it.

To xBoarder, if you look at this ICS development thread, the OP shared his GIT sources and everything else needed for other people to compile his build, and in the process several have been able to make good contributions. I can see that isn't the way it is being done here, but is there any chance you'd be willing to work it like that? Perhaps a few others will be able to make some suggestions if they can compile like you have been, but they work on issues you aren't working on..

Just a thought, I'm not even playing with ICS on my old phone, I am totally dedicated to doing whatever I can with the new one though..
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
they have been publicly avabible for everyone sense day 1 and i also got sources for my sense 3.5 ports more then most people do

i got tierd of all the people rating ym stuff down and saying **** dont work it was a freaking alpha so i release them else where

Don't let the jerks get to you X, if it wasn't for you and your hard work on the amaze we wouldn't have half of the things we do. I've been trying to hold off unlocking hboot, waiting to see if s-off is achieved. Ics will make that impossible. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Why do people always ***** and complain? They are not being forced to run any of X's roms and yet they cry. It's as if someone gives you $5 they turn around and say make it $20. Beggers can't be choosers. So STOP IT!!!

Anyways, Professor X can u be kind enough to PM me where? I tried Rootzwiki but no luck.

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Hey x,

To get something working in ICS (say sound), do you take the source code for the driver from the released HTC source for the 2.6.35 kernel? Or do you pull already compiled modules from somewhere else?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
pull from else where
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Wow, quick reply. Do you mind sharing your source?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
no not right now all my source for the amaze is first post but not for getting precompiled stuff
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Man, you must know someone at HTC or something. You get all those RUUs and other bits before anyone else.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i do got some friends at htc and i also got a guy i pay to get some ruus haha :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Wow, you pay for those? Man that guy sucks for charging for them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
no i offerd becuase i keep asking for new ones haha and he spends time to go search for them too you know so i gave him 10 bucks for each ruu im working on getting a ics leak lets hope i can ahha
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Cool. I don't understand why HTC doesn't just post released software to their site. They've already given the source and have a bootloader unlock tool. The natural extension would be to give people an offical way back to stock.

Edit: I submitted feedback to HTC Dev saying I wanted them to post their stock ROMs. They listened on the bootloader unlock, but that was a much larger set of people requesting that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Power_Getter:
xboarder56...

Any update comming soon ?

Sorry not trying to be mean, but don't ask for eta's. X is doing alot for this device on his own along with being a full time high school student. We don't need him setting deadlines on the stuff he does for fun, adding stress to his already full plate.

I just got the Amaze at CES last week, and my biggest gripe has been lack of an AOSP Rom (I've been a diehard CM user since 4.2!) Saw this and I'm really excited now! Can't wait to see more! I'm using Bulletproof now, and you do some great work Xboarder! Thanks! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:

Yeah I would recommend BeastMod. I am loving it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bling_Diggity:
EDIT: Disregard, a little more in depth searching (and browsing of XDA) got me what I need. If anyone else here is interested in starting off learning how to develop custom roms, I put together a little bit.ly bundle of helpful links: LINK

It's going to take me some time, especially since I have limited knowledge of Java & Linux. But hopefully within a few weeks I'll actually be able to contribute something around here. Much thanks to xboarder and all the devs that already have. This $hi+ is uber-complicated, makes web design/programming look like something a kindergartner can do.

Hey guys,

So I've been watching this thread for a while now, and I have a quick question that maybe xboarder or one of the other devs can answer. This may not be the right place for it, but I really want to help out in getting ICS on the Amaze b/c I know there's not a lot of devs working on this and the few that we have are overstretched. How does one go about gaining the necessary skills for developing custom roms, compiling, etc? I've had my fair share of experience with theme-ing roms, I owned a Nexus One before this and tested out just about every rom there was ever made for it, and I was one of the first few to successfully attempt rooting the G-Slate (which is where the little bit of knowledge I have about Linux comes from), but when it comes to actually compiling and developing new roms or kernels, I'm lost. I'm actually a web developer (so I have more experience with Unix and Windows), and I've been designing/coding websites since I was 13 (I'm now 26). So it's not like I'm a newbie with computers by any means. But somehow I missed the boat when it came to coding/developing anything smartphone-related.

At any rate, I just wanted to know where the best place to start is for those wanting to learn how to do this. Are there any free online courses or resources that can help those just starting out?

If this comes across as off-topic, I apologize, I just really want to help move this along. Tired of hearing about other phones/devices getting ICS while the far-superior Amaze gets left out in the cold. I also have similar motivation where the G-Slate is concerned, as LG/T-mobile have both pretty much left the device for dead (even though the hardware specs are better than the Xoom's!).

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
I also want to help out but dont know where to start. I can setup a build environment, but need some more help from there. Also, im guessing that the audio drivers are needing to be rewritten for ics due to google trying to create low latency audio
[HTC Amaze 4G] AimanF:
Felinos and Scotter: I tried BeastMod and I wasn't all that impressed with it, it just felt like sense with an aftermarket launcher to me. I figured I could use Bulletproof which I heard was better on battery and bring my own Launcher (GoLauncher EX)

Can't wait to see progress on this ICS build though, ready to leave Sense in the dust!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Accophox:
Yeah, I have to agree with aiman. I wasn't particularly impressed with beastmod - just felt like sense with a skin. This phone deserves a true aosp set of applications.

But as it stands, CM9 still sounds like it's a couple months out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] death2verizon:
you should talk to xboarder56 if you want to help. hes got a git hub and stuff for it.
