If you're interested in simplfying the steps ...

We have had this "limited" HTC unlock method on the HTC EVO 3D since August 2011 and there is an alternative method to loading the kernel through fastboot.

My application, Flash Image GUI (downloaded for free on the forums off my personal hosting), runs from Android mode and allows the user to select the ROM .zip file (which contains the boot.img and kernel modules), and flashes the boot.img along with the kernel modules from inside of the ROM.zip from Android mode.

Next step is a simple reboot to recovery mode to load the same ROM .zip which copies over all the other /system files.

Advantages are: No reboot to fastboot required. No computer connection required. No Windows OS required for the .bat files which automate the kernel flashing process.

Would you be interested in adding the boot.img into the ROM .zip file? If so, I'd be more than happy to update Flash Image GUI to support the HTC Vivid making things a few steps easier and less initially intimidating for the users!

Appreciate your work as a developer and glad to see ROMs being posted for the HTC Vivid. Either way, keep up the great work!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
^ PG, you are 100% correct and I will have no problemc if you remove it. Beats is nothing but a marketing tool and overpriced crappy sound quality. I was actually mad when I heard HTC was going to implement beats into their phones, cause all it would do is up the price for crappy overhyped sound quality.

And for anyone who will be unhappy by PG removing beats from his rom, theres Poweramp. Poweramp has extensive equalizing and tweaking abilities. I would highly advise trying the free trial. Any hi fi audio enthusiast that uses android will recommend poweramp.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Sweet, all the locales would be nice :P.

So then, with Beats removed, are we going to go to an unbranded HTCListen from another Sense 3.5 ROM? Pushing one via Root Explorer wasn't working for me, leading me to believe that it was frozen at some point when you implemented Beats.

Yes, this does work. I've tried, personally. I didn't need to use the PH39IMG.

The only thing I actually don't like about PowerAmp is it's interface. On my GS1, I switched to using CM7 and its DSPManager because I preferred using Ubermusic over it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
absolutely wouldnt mind adding the boot.img to the zip file. what format do you need and how can i test it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Have you tried it lately? They've made a lot of changes and options for the interface.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
unless hes offering it up for testing as a free app...it just points to market to buy his app....spam:mad:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
No, but I recall it sounding nowhere nearly as nice, even though I directly ported my WinAmp settings. Perhaps I should give it another go.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joeykrim:
great catch! i moved my domain from godaddy to namecheap in support of the anti sopa crowd and it broke the forwarding setup. fixed the previous post and direct link for the original application: http://goo.gl/jzEb3 so you don't think it is spam. yes, i am offering up for testing. i'll pm you also with the test link as i don't want to publicly post the link (don't want any bad flashes) until i know for sure its working :)

sorry, i got a bit excited and probably shouldn't have posted in your ROM thread as this could take it a bit off topic .. my apologizes.

I'll reply to your PM moving this conversation to PM with the file link to work on testing. Thanks for your support!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
It may be worth another try. When EQ'd correctly, it's pretty damn good. When I had my Infuse and paired it with Voodoo sound, it was like any legit dedicated portable music player.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Thats exactly what I was thinking. I'd rather boot into recovery anyways, I see the chance for too many things going wrong.

As for the next rom, I'm excited youre removing beats. I actually googled what it did and tried it today and as you said it just cleans up low frequencies (bass). Plus performance tweaks are always welcomed :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
I look forward to when AT&T vvm works with this awesome rom. I think that the dialer and possibly some other files in the AT&T Rom need to be pulled in order for it to work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
But Google Voice does the same thing, and isn't related to AT&T at all! :p

EDIT: Are you kidding me, XDA? You recognise :p but not :P?!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
I prefer 1 mailbox and phone number. I swap my sim between my iPhone and vivid and prefer 1 voicemail box.

sent from my HTC Vivid on AT&T.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CEaton:
Which is what makes google voice so great. Look into it, you don't need to change your number or anything crazy, just set up your att number to forward to your GV number when its about to goto att voicemail, your callers won't even know. Google voice app sets all this up for you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CEaton:
Great Rom btw, real stable, much faster than stock.

My only request really is maybe the amaze camera? Or atleast a camera that I can shut the fake focus noise off with.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
call forwarding comes out of your anytime minutes bucket, they can go fast especially if your on a familytalk plan. Google voice's implementation on the iPhone sucks, i actually prefer AT&T's implementation of VVM compared to Google's
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CEaton:
Hey, anybody noticing any trouble with Gmail push when on Wifi?

Holicakes and this rom, email isn't pushing while on wifi, its almost as if it's polling, if I send myself an email, it will show up in gmail on my desktop immediately, but doesn't show up on my phone for up to 30 minutes or so. If I turn off wifi, everything pushes correctly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dreezy1209:
My mms seems to not be workig. Is there anything I might be missing? Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
have you read the last few pages?

change MMS to 1M. it will be default in the next build.

i would be uploading a build now, but i am stuck at the tire shop with a nail in my tire. another hour and a half wait now....ugh
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
That sucks. I plugged a hole in my tire from a nail once and 2 days later there was another one in the same tire >.< And yea the wait (and crazy labor costs) is why I do most suff myself or with some friends lol.

In regards to wifi and email, its cause when its connected to wifi for some reason it thinks gmail sync is off.

Also, setcpu isn't strict enough with the on demand...my battery has dropped 7% in 10 minutes and gone up 10* hahaha.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceasee:
Love the ROM!

I have been running this for about 24 hours now.

Everything that I use on a regular basis seems to be working too.

ISSUES:

LTE, cant find the Rogers LTE APN settings, the Rogers 3G settings work fine (except for the speeds)

SMS, When ever I get a SMS it has a timestamp of a few hours earlier (eg. txt came in at 12:15pm, timestamp shows 7:15am. GO SMS cures this.

-I have checked the Date & Time settings, they are accurate.

That is all I've notices that isnt working well right now. I don't have Visual Voicemail so I can't comment on that.

Keep up the good work!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cedrikfd:
I also have a Rogers Raider and use the following APN for LTE:

Name: Rogers Internet

APN: ltemobile.apn

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set>

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com

MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 302

MNC: 720

Authentication type: <Not set>

APN type: * (really, just put a star *)

It's the one that comes with Rogers' stock ROM.

For the time stamps, I installed SMS Time Fix instead of GO SMS, it works too!

Cheers!

EDIT: Also, LTE will not show up on the phone, it will show as 4G. If you wanna know if you're on LTE, go into the Dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#*, go into Phone information and look for Network Type. In the first drop down you also have the choice between WCDMA preferred, GSM only, WCDMA only, GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and LTE only.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceasee:
And this is why I love XDA and the community.

Thanks for the APN settings and the Time fix APP, works great!

someone has tried the recovery from this post?

Updated op!

Updated OP for Beta 10

again, new features have not really been added, aside from Bravia engine, i am looking more to get this stable first (dont know why i messed around with beats yesterday, waste of time on my part)

if you do want BEATS, see this post, bananacakes has been kind enough to create a mod that should work on this rom just fine.

major progress is going on with the new ClockworkMod Recovery and the Flash Image GUI. look for those to be full-featured in the near future.

I am going through the posts to see what I can address today with some updates of some sort
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceasee:
I just tested a backup and restore and it works great.

Might want to post this on THAT thread though.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:

Beta 10 plus the beats beta = beast
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
guys,

for anyone hung up on the HTC logo screen and cant get back into recovery the following is a KNOWN solution, even though it is extremely long process. i have personally done this about 10+ times to fix this exact issue:

relock your bootloader and flash the stock ph39img back on, then re-unlock using your unlockcode.bin file as instructed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20821226&postcount=4

after re-UNlocking your device, fastboot flash bananacakes recovery back on

then 2 options:

use CWM to root stock or boot stock and root using supertool, then use flash image gui to flash the boot.img from rum raider, reboot to recovery and flash rom zip

or

fastboot the boot.img on, reboot to recovery and flash rom zip
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
So does the current beta 10 work with the 5.5 cwm rec?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
nope.

working with 'thecubed' and a few others, it appears rom flashing isnt working properly in 5.5 CWM. it may be as simple as needing a new updater-binary. testing some things right now. currently its safer to use bananacakes recovery to flash this version of the rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Lol I seen beta 10 and flashed it not thinking about having the other cwm recovery. hahaha. Took me forever to find something to put my sd card in to get the stock image.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mobb315:
Question...is there a way to flash bananacakes version over the the cmw 5.5... Version? I was gonna flash rum beta 10 but reading all the posts tells me it won't work. So before going thru the relock unlock process wanted to get replace the non working recovery with the working version
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
here is the fix for the new 5.5 recovery. i am uploading a new revised beta 10 as of now....should be up in a little bit.

if you already downloaded, you can just drop the 2 files that are located in this attached zip into the rom zip in the following directory

META-INF\com\google\android

it should flash properly after that. the new CWM doesnt like the old binary at all....and crashed recovery pretty badly after formatting partitions.

BTW, IOMonster, aka thecubed, is responsible for fixing the binary and helping me with the script to get it all proper n stuff....

thanks to him..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dbaser:
Hold tight.. PG and IOMonster are working on it....

EDIT: Read above... :P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
NEW BETA 10 has been posted....this will work (confirmed) with the new recovery

i am testing with the old recovery now to see if it will still work (probably wont)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Are we still going to have legacy support for CWM 5.(not5)? Or is this another case of CWM nixing features and that I'll still be able to flash the updated CWM5.5 version from my older version (like the transition between CWM2 and CWM3).

EDIT: And you just beat my question to when I was asking it. Thanks, Pirate... :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
good news

this new update-binary and the updater-script work just fine on bananacakes recovery

just tested on my device.....

whew...

glad that is all sorted.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Works great for me (new beta 10 version with the 5.5 rec)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
PG, what's your opinion on the old recovery vs. the new? Would it be best to update the superguide to the newest version or just hold on?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i will be using the new one to help debug it, and i would think the more hands on the better.

it will become the new CWM for probably all devices in the future.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Okay, ill probably update it then and leave the other as a backup option only. Thanks.

I clearly deserve it also i live in Houston a LTE area my data is not working which APN should i follow.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Firstly:

-Is the PTA apn not working for you?

-Do you have a LTE simcard?

If no and yes then:

For some people the PTA apn isn't working, a couple pages back has all the other APNs posted to use if it isn't. *Link to post*

***NOTE*** Don't use "APN 1" (Wap.cingular), its a legacy apn.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
would it to much to ask for the HTC keyboard that has arrows on the bottom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pactronic:
Doesnt work I'm in LTE network so I'm sure I have a LTE sim I would get 20mb downloads when in LTE area.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
cant you just pull the keyboard from another rom and throw it in here? i hate the friggin arrow keys, i always hit them while im typing.

problem with the PTA listing in that post is with the APN type:

APN type: mms

should be

APN type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri

edit, just looked and i see 2 pta apns listed in that post.

stock only had one PTA apn from what i remember.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pactronic:
Finally got it to work I used the att lte apn must go down the street to test lte.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
that one does not work as it is geared for the Sensation, looks for Pyramid as the product.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
i have tried to replace but i end up with no keyboard at all, i also tried to flash in CWM but it didn't work either any other suggestions?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You are correct. I deliberately split the mms component and the regular one; doing so gave me better speeds. I don't really think it hurts to leave the legacy APN there in the event that PTA fails for some odd reason. Likewise, making the normal PTA APN's type as "default,internet,supl" seemed to boost speeds over the "default,admin..." type.

AFAIK for MMS, the phone automatically selects the MMS APN that corresponds to what you're connected to, so I've left wap.cingular again as a backup.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
mine does that as well, i notice it when it uses data, i believe that is when the phone is access the HSPA+ channels and then downgrades back to 3g channels when done, i wouldn't worry about it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i am also seeing the issue of the selectable network mode not working as stated earlier

looking into it. sorry guys.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Mine flickers just depending on where it is. If you guys have used international/modded ROMs before, you should have noticed this aeons ago. It feels like AT&T has wanted to hide this fact from us for a while.

Back when the HSDPA network was introduced, phones would only say "3G" regardless of their connection to a UMTS 3G network or a HSDPA 3.5G network.

Once HSPA+ was introduced, phones would only say "H+" regardless of their connection to a UMTS 3G network, a HSD/UPA 3.5G network, or a HSPA+ 3.75G network.

Now, look at it, it says "4G" regardless of connection to a UMTS 3G network, a HSD/UPA 3.5G network, or a HSPA+ 3.75G network, only yielding a small LTE when actually connected to an LTE network.

I have a feeling that they just don't want us end users to see the inconsistencies of their network.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i think that would require the Settings.apk from the AT&T build too?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Its for any 3.5 Sense ROM base.

To be honest with you I have no idea. Maybe an improper flash? You could try ripping the apk and installing it and selecting it as the default. Although I don't know if that'll work correctly. Gimme a few and I'll try it out for you.

Edit: Wait before I try this, did you go to your keyboard settings to check and see if the keyboard was there and set?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mobb315:
So should I see "h+" or 4g in my task bar? Does just an "h" mean 4g?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NetSoul:
Can I flash Holicakes Kernel after install this ROM ? This ROM is very good, but I want to try overclock
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
H means HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA+; they're all variations on the theme of "High Speed Packet Access". ATT tries to brainwash their customers into thinking that they're on 4G all the time.

If you're not in an LTE area, but are serviced by 3G, you should be seeing an H most of the time. It means that you're connected to HSPA+.

You can, but it won't boot ;).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Dang, Aus beat me to it. Lol.

There is no such thing as 4G. Its a marketing gimmick.

You have Edge which is GSM

3G which is HPSA(+)

4G which is a modem upgrade to the HSPA+ protocal

4G LTE which is LTE (obviously)

In this ROM LTE shows up as 4G

4G as H

3G as 3G
