[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've been on Bulletproof for a few days now. I ran the debloat package (since I don't use sense). I'm on faux's latest kernel.

I've not had a single freeze or bootloop. I use wifi, bluetooth, and run many apps and very occasionally some games and have not had a problem. I did have stability issues with kernels prior to the latest Faux release. So, my advice to anyone out there is to make sure you are running the latest release kernel.

Also, maybe important to note is that I run Superwipe before every fresh ROM load. This is just a good practice to be in the habit of.

Props to you X for another great ROM! Gave you the 5 stars you deserve on this one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
Flash the latest faux kernel. I havent had any crashes
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdogg4000:
Same for me no crashes 4 days straight v008b13 with 2.3.1 . Really happy with this phone now!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyricha:
I've been running 2.3.1 with Faux kernel 008 beta 13 since 2.3.1 came out and for the first time in weeks I have had zero reboots / boot loops.

I haven't been overclocking or undervolting (since 2.3.1).

Good job X!

hopefully update this weekend guys :D

ill pm a few people with high speed internet to help me seed first

Debloat

Hi, I was wondering how I am supposed to run the debloat? Any info would be great. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
Flash rom, boot, reboot, return to cwm flash debloat
[HTC Amaze 4G] Fahnix:
I get an average of 20 mb down and 2 up. I'll seed the sh!t outta it!

Debloat

Thanks! I appreciate it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Migwickert:
I want to flash the lastest kernel and debloat, what order is expected? Tried flashing lastest kernel (twice) and it failed. Thanks.

I'm running stock, rooted but I'm experiencing random reboots, a lot lately.
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
Flash rom, boot, reboot, flash kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
Try this for flashing Kernel. No computer required. I used it to update my Kernal when Faux's latest dropped. Super smooth the first time.

Excellent stuff thus far. Rebooted several times after installing. Great app. Appreciate the suggestion and help. Thanks.

My case doesnt have anything covering.. and i checked my connection n its all fine...we had the same issue on beastmod.. so maybe it came along when i installed this rom??

I wiped everything though
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
Oh, there is one issue with 2.3.1 that I have.

I'm not sure if it's just me and I need to reinstall it, but the Text-to-Speech function (TTS) keeps on force closing whenever I try to open it.

I only remember it working on the stock rom, and tried it again just recently.

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
[HTC Amaze 4G] haithamnayel:
Why can't I make voip/ sip calls using the 3 g connection? It always requires wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
Try shutting off the wifi calling then try it again. I have viber on mine and it works great
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
x two requests if u have time,

can u post a flashable zip with the htcime without arrows

could u add a display order option to bullet tweaks for quick settings

again thank you so much for all your hard work
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
working on new update guys soon :D gonna default back to normal keyboard so the other laungues work
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
should be ready tonight/towmarow :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yeauhhhh normal keyboard!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
fixed sip/voip 3g calls too guys :D

rest is surprise :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
I like the arrows! Ah well like my ex, it was good while it lasted.... And even better with her gone. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Since you are doing this would you be able to make a flashable for the keyboard with arrows for those of us who do like using them
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ill try but i dont think its possible
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
Wouldn't flashing apaquette420's bulletproof theme keyboard still work and install the arrow keyboard? If it does, problem solved and evrybody happy :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I use Hackers Keyboard from the Market. It has an option for 5 lines so not only do you get the arrows, you also get the numbers! You can size it both in portrait and landscape mode. I have it set to 45 in landscape and 40 in portrait plus it also has skins. The keys are smaller since the one I use is 5 rows but my big fingers very rarely make a mistake! It is a great app for free!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jaa-Yoo:
Maybe this keyboard would work?

I havent tried it though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] c0de_junkie:
I not sure what changes are being made to the rom so I am not sure if my KB will do the trick after the rom update..... but feel free to try and let us know if it works... I will start preparing to update my theme as soon as I can DL, I can let you know how it goes....
[HTC Amaze 4G] xologist:
Hi xboarder..

since you are about to release.. and might still be adding,

can you make the "flashlight" application work for your ROM? the one that comes with Cyanogen Mod.

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Bloatware

OP says it's debloated... I even flashed tmobile debloater, and there are just a few apps I still want to remove. I'm new to the device (72 hours owned, 6 hours rooted) and can't find anywhere if this ROM is deodexed. I would like to remove:

Facebook, Friend Stream, HTC Hub, HTC Likes, and Stocks.

I deleted these using Root Explorer on my HTC Glacier, but before I go digging into my /system/app and start deleting those, I just want to make sure it's all good. I know it's a noob question, but it at least hasn't been asked yet on this device... So I think I'm safe in asking... otherwise, I'm sorry in advance for wasting everybody's time, etc...

Thanks in advance...
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
nope thats aosp this is sense
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
Yes its all good. U can also delete them from the zip file before flashing the rom. I use rom toolbox to remove system apps u might like it as well
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hey thanks a lot Felinos. My Nandroid backup just finished so I think I will take your recommendation on ROM toolbox.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I saw it but I don't think it has swipe or trace.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Assuming they are all the same just a matter of form installation. I tried the apk for quick install and didn't work...
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Was it working with stock
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I use thumb keyboard...maybe u like it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Sometimes I thumb thru my words but I find myself tracing or swyping most of the time
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
You are right. It doesn't have swipe or trace. I don't use either one of those so I didn't miss it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haithamnayel:
Viber and other voip calling programs are working OK ... what I am talking about is the sip accounts u know ... Go to settings> call> sip accounts .. Add urs try it on 3 g it wont work

[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
working on last tweek and its ready guys :D hopefully towmarow morning
[HTC Amaze 4G] haithamnayel:
u r the man : D

Can I ask for some other stuff?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
you can try no promises
[HTC Amaze 4G] haithamnayel:
thnx :)

1. Htc locations widget.

2. Full Arabic language support: menus read write and fonts whine the native htc keyboard .. U know I can help u with this by uploading the modified files makes the ROM reads Arabic wherever u instruct me to upload them, but they are only for the reading part.

3. It will be great if we are able to view html email messages in exchange email accounts.

4. I d ont know if it is only me but the battery life is really a big concern I never exceed 5 hours with a very low phone call usage but to be honest a full list of accounts is active on the device: 3 mail accounts, fb, twetter, linked in, google .... Etc. Even though all with very lunges refresh rate.

thanks again for the great ROM keep the good work on
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:

Why dont you just upload it to http://www.multiupload.com/ ?

It uploads to:

megaupload

hotfile

filesonic

uploadking

uploadhere

fileserve

depositfiles

zshare

wupload

One click uploads to all those at the same time.

Then you give the Multiupload link and people can choose to download from anyone of those. Also, they can direct download from a special Multiupload link.

- If you need help uploading/downloading , I have a good upload/download speed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
I agree...filesonic is dead to now, but there's still lotsa options
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nice ROM. Updated today.

Ok...one problem...market FC each time I try to view an app. Should I wipe data/cache?
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I agree +1
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
It will host on my dif ftp link soon a lot faster :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I guess you haven't been following the thread and the news. Megaupload has been shut down by the Feds. Filesonic (thank God I didn't pay for a year's subscription 2 months ago) is now shut down to sharing and downloads. The feds are shutting down all these sharing sites. About all that is left are Torrents and those will probably be next. X is just trying to make sure he doesn't get deluged with people telling him that the links are down. :mad:

I have read about it.. and more than you think.

Megaupload, Mr.DOTCOM, is now being charged for weapons and inflatable tank.

Multiupload is a good website, because it uploads to all those sites.

The feds wont take all those sites down.

ROM(s) are not illegal and rooting is allowed by google.

[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
My phone is hating me right now. I had 2.4.0 booted up, on wifi and had it in my pocket while my Market apps were downloading, pulled it out of my pocket and it's in a bootloop. I try the volume buttons + power, still in a bootloop. I pulled battery, held volume down + power to get to hboot to then try to get to recovery, but instead of pulling up recovery it flashed a minimized image of it and then rebooted into a bootloop.

Now my phone's not working, ha. I ran the superwipe tool, and cleared data in recovery before flashing, and I'm on the latest Faux kernel. I can plug my phone in and get to fastboot, and run the supertool, but I haven't had any luck yet with anything. Any ideas? Anyone?

Sent from my BulletProof Amaze, Powered by Faux kernel...

[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I have, I've used the all-in-one tool to try to flash cwm and twrp, nothing works. I'm resorting to downloading the 1.43 RUU and putting it on my sdcard as PH85IMG and hoping it updates itself and works it's issues out...

Edit: The only thing I'm happy about right now is that it's actually booting and trying to start, so it's not busted for good. Just having a reeeaallly bad day.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

So through the all-in-one tool on my computer kept saying error:device not found but then it would go ahead and push the recovery over and restart my device. I decided to why not try the stock recovery, used the tool to flash stock recovery and now my phone booted up. Weirdest thing....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Are you guys not able to attach the .torrent files to your posts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
So we have 2 or 3 reported Recovery erasing reports? Can anyone confirm their recovery was not deleted?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Are these people using the SuperWipe file before flashing?

I've used that once and also lost my recovery. I actually think it's a problem with the SuperWipe file and not the rom itself.

Just look at the script for the SuperWipe

ui_print("4. Erasing *BOOT* partition");

assert(unmount("/boot") || ui_print("(boot is unmounted already)"));

run_program("/sbin/erase_image", "boot");

It erases the entire kernel and since you cannot flash a new kernel from recovery it might be what's causing issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I thought that looked weird when I ran the script and I never liked the idea of that script but a lot of people use it so I thought why not. But since flashing the stock recovery and getting booted back up, everything is running great and my kernel is still the latest Faux one, the #28.

However it happened, I'm back up and going after a miserable three hours in church without a computer, haha.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
I've always superwiped BEFORE flashing any ROM and my kernel always stays. I am testing Nrgz rom right now so I have not flashed X's latest.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I believe that xboarder changed it somehow. I might have to compare them to make sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
got my first Bootloop while just browsing on facebook, nothing major though. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
I also am using the one from AndroidRevoluton.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
With a quick comparison they are pretty much the same except the new superwipe supports the new meta format in his new CWM Android 4.0 Recovery.

I don't trust the fact that it's attempting to wipe the kernel if we can't flash a new one though. That's just me. I only used the superwipe script once and never used it again after I couldn't get back into recovery. Flashing a new rom should wipe the cache, dalvik-cache and re-write the system partition anyway. So in my opinion all it's doing is wiping your data which you can do from recovery anyway without the wipe script. So I say skip it just to be safe.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ya i dont see point but people wanted it
