[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
here is what I did to satisfy my lust for now, keeping in mind that I get no random reboots and I don't seem to have any issues with my phone at all.

I figured there would be some level of erasing my data so I wanted to get rooting out of the way when I first got the phone, within about 20 minutes of ownership I had unlocked the bootloader (which cleared personal data), installed CWM and taken a backup of my stock rom, I then applied the root update through cwm to get root, I am still running the stock rom and I can squeeze 24 hours out of my phone which is pretty impressive vs my htc hd2, I'm in a 3G area so I havent really used my 4G radio yet.

Then I went about installing an update to get my percentage on the battery instead of the stupid battery icon with no percentage, and replaced the home screen with ADW.Launcher and the lockscreen with WidgetLocker, and I'm pretty happy with the speed and capabilities of the phone now, I'm content to wait until ICS I think as I have not really had any stability issues with this setup, everything just works, one annoyance is there is a little lag on scrolling things, something I see is mentioned as fixed in the ROMS... so far its not a big deal for me, I think maybe if ICS cm9 isn't out by march then I will look at flashing a custom rom at that point ":D

I do really miss the polish of the MIUI rom I had on my HD2, MIUI did some amazing ui stuff and everything was where it needed to be... even simple things like a TOGGLE FOR WIFI in the notification bar... it seems extremely weird for that to not be there lol.

You watch, someone will reply now and say that a particular rom has that feature and I'll be like Fuuuuuuu and flashing a new ROM before tomorow... I can feel the urge to flash rising hahaha
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Completely agree, I couldn't go back to stock, the speed is far superior, I've tried a couple of Roms, I've just flashed vjraider, great Rom! And I foresee an even better future! Thanks devs,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frostxinfinity:
Personally, I find rooting to be worth it. First and foremost, it is the most in depth procedure of customization you can do to your phone to make it "yours". The speed and battery increases are pretty well worth it as well. I am currently running HoliRaider 1.5a with no problems whatsoever. Speed is amazing and I haven't had any stability issues. Considering HTC has allowed for the bootloader to be unlocked, most of the difficulty that comes with rooting has been taken out. Take a chance! Just follow instructions and read them twice before doing anything major, you'll be alright.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Root is a must for me... All the bloatware they put on my phone i had to get off xD my OCD kicks in and i need a way to delete EVERYTHING i can and still make the phone functional haha

I use WCX http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454521 3.5 and with his newest build I have been getting no reboots at 1.5ghz and its running like a charm :)

Battery life is a lot better now thank goodness! and I forgot to quote whoever said this but I too cant wait for something like CM7 or CM9 (not miui I hate it:P) Sense itself is too much for me though its beautiful its not needed :P I'd rather have INCREDIBLE speed than looks :P So im sticking with WCX untill CM9 becomes doable or they quickly get CM7 ready to go

anyone else absolutely in love with flex gel cases or is it just me? i just bought an arguile clear flex gel case off ebay. I'm a big case hoarder for all the smart phones i've had. I've found flex gel cases to be the best for everyday, convenient use.

Also, now that i have a white phone, i feel it should be a crime to not go with a clear case and show off my phone rather than hide it's beauty. Anyways, anyone else having an open love affair with flex gel, or is it just me? if so, do you like your buttons with cutout access, or covered? i must know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ek07:
well lets see the case man any pics?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
They are the same. My case came in. When I get home ill take some pictures.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
here are pictures of the case.

Here is the ebay link for the item:[ebay link removed]

Overall, I'm very happy with the case. It's thin, yet provides the protection I need. It also shows off enough of the pretty phone, with still having a style of its own.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Throatchopper:
I love those cases! They are better than an otter box in my opinion. I just got a Sweet lookin matte black one off eBay for my amaze which sports some noticeable battle damage on its body... the look of the phone is totally different now. I also have the tpu case on my g2 and g2x. I swear by em !

Nice! I have one similar to this also. I just ordered a trident case a few days ago though. I couldn't resist aha
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
I had a nice trident case for my EVO, but after a while it was just way too big. I'm female so my pants pockets are usually small. It's hard to fit one of those cases in one. That's why I absolutely love this material. No friction and relatively strong, without being too bulky.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Yeah I agree. I love the case I have now (tpu case). But I'm a relatively big guy 6'3" so I don't think the added bulk would bother too much ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
The problem with these cases are (especially the cheapy ebay ones) is that they become yellow!!!

Because of the hot/warm battery under heavy usage causes them to become yellow. Otherwise the cases Do perform adequate protection.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
I had a clear arguyle case like this on my galaxy s2 and that battery got way hotter while charging that this one. I only had it for a month but i didn't see a yellowish tint. I'm a case fiend so I'm sure in a few weeks ill need to buy a completely different color anyways. So at the price of 6 bucks, I don't mind. :) sorry for the constant replying. I'm awfully bored at work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I'm bored at work too lol. Whenever my trident case comes In ill do a review on it and my opinions on it against the cheaper tpu cases
[HTC Amaze 4G] mylexon20s:
Just ordered one. I have been debating about getting one or not, and finally decided to go for it. I have not had a TPU case since my old blackberry curve 8900
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
Omg I had that phone too. Let us know how you like it. Do u have the white amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
Do these feel more rubbery or more slipper like plastic?

Do they make just the rubber trim for the Amaze, like many have on the iPhone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Great skin!!! White on white looks absolutely AMAZE'ing!
[HTC Amaze 4G] inuyasha1999:
I bought this one for my Amaze, and it is a nice case. The back is a hard plastic, but with TPU material for the sides.

I just got my Glossy Black TPU Case in the mail. I ordered it from Amazon and got it for $.89 + $2.89 for s&h. lol... I cant believe i paid more for the shipping than the actual product. It came with the TPU Case and a Screen Protector (which I tossed because I couldnt get it on right)

Here's the company that I bought the TPU Case from. This is a different ad that doesnt include the screen protector. But the quality of the product is top notch!!

Amazon.com TPU Case from eForCity

Sure does. Fits great, too.

I picked one (in black) of these up last weekend. It's a really nice case and I like the texture.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fito1971:
Good grip as original vibrant

Hi guys

I switched from vibrant to Amaze and I loved the black rubber case Tmobile sells for the Vibrant, it is a soft silicone or gel and it has really good grip because it has a carved design.

It protected my phone for 2 years and can't see any scratch at the border of the phone, not like the hard cases which at the end make scratches at the corners.

The case does not have any brand and tmobile does not have the same type for the amaze, does any body knows where to get this case, what is the brand

I could no load picts of it as it is my first post.

Thanks

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fencer:
So I tried to install cm7.1 on my x8. I successfully rooted and installed a unlocked bootloader, went to flash cm but got an assert error, so I edited some sort of XML file to remove the assert bit (found it on a post here). Till here CM installed fine but when I hit the reboot CWM gave an error "Current recovery seems bad", I sort of ignored that error and rebooted just the same but now it's stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" screen.

I have tried to re-lock the bootloader using flastool but seems I did not manage as the "Running" line still says RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029", from the logs s1tool created I can see that this line has never actually changed!!!!

I've also tried to use PCC but when I try to repair it says that there are no updates for my device.

Anyone has any ideas what I can do?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
You need to flash back to Stock by using Flashtool.

Search the X8 Q&A and X8 General board - there having been gazillions of threads about "how do I restore stock with Flashtool" ... there's at least one each day... :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintckk:
An other workaround, is to flash with a lower version of stock ROM with flash tool, say 1.6 donut rom, then use PCC to repair and update your phone, to the lastest 2.1 Stock Rom. From there, you can flash whatever Roms you want!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fencer:

If your bootloader is unlocked, dowload a custom rom from the developers sub forum, such as cm7 or superosr or whichever you want and install it from recovery. zasa rom has sense, if you want it.

Any suggestions?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I was wondering how one switches from 4g to 3g(which i think people here call edge) to save battery.

I dont see it anywhere in settings so i wasnt sure what people did..

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I think you mean 3g to 2g. This phone does not have "4g". It's just 3g with higher throughput.

I'm not sure if you can on the stock rom without a USSD code. But on custom roms it's:

Settings

Wireless and network

Mobile networks

Network mode

GSM only.

Unfortunately apps like llama/JuiceDefender can't do it automatically when you're on WiFi or not using data because Google "blocked" it. I think CM7 allows apps to control 2g/3g toggle though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahman42:
I thought if your wifi was on the 4g was turned off.

Also, on stock 2.5.- the system folder for wireless settings has a choice to only use the edge frequency. I don't know for any of the modded roms or the newer stock 2.6.- versions. Hope this helped. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
T-Mobile uses 3.5g(which they call it 4g) a more advance 3g speeds so a with a 4g/3g toggle wouldn't do any good unless you wanna go to edge/2g. is not like Verizon where I think you have your Band for 2g/3g and a separate Band for 4g so what the toggle does its just turn off the 4g Band and automatically goes to 3g. but with Tmobile your have your Bands for 1g/2g and another band for 3g/3.5g(fake 4g) so using a toggle you would only be blocking 3g.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yekrallum:
Hello People,

I have a keen interest in Android and ROMs etc but no programming or development knowledge, just an interest. I've rooted and put a couple of different ROMs on my old HTC Desire thanks to XDA and its community of developers and will do the same with my SGT10.1 as soon as ICS is stable and has a working camera .... Thank you all!

What I'd like to know is what's different between Google releasing ICS and say Microsoft releasing Windows 7? Why can't I go to a shop or website, purchase or download ICS and install it on my device in a similar fashion to installing a new OS on my PC?

It seems to the ignorant (me) that they make life very difficult for the devs on this site and others! I appreciate that this is probably a stupid question, but I would really be grateful for someone to take a min to explain, for example, what happens after the developers get a copy for the ICS open source code and before they/you grace us with a stable build for a device? Why is the completed ICS from Google not suitable to simply install? One reason that comes to mind is device drivers! Maybe I've just answered my own question!!!

Again, thanks for all the hard work ... whatever it is? :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Not meant to sound rude, but do you really want to wait a few years between gingerbread and ice cream sandwich, pay a ridiculous amount for it, and still have to update it almost constantly? :eek:

The difference is Microsoft and generous developers.

Microsoft makes millions.

Android open source developers get self satisfaction and other things, but very little, if anything, in monetary payment (donations).

I know Google is a huge money corporation, but I would hate to see things go the way Microsoft does things in regards to operating systems software.

There are many technical reasons related to the many thousands of different devices, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment, so I'll leave that to someone else who is.

Actually, I think you did your own question. :cool:

Hello guys i am new here so excuse me if someone already wrote something about this.

is there any ice cream sandwitch rom with latest htc sense?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
None yet and there may not ever be. There will not be any drivers to hack to make it work as GB only got better because of the Desire source code. Note since that service will not see any more updates then we are out of luck.

Now someone may find a way but for now it's unlikely
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
Actually, there will definitely be a ICS ROM with sense. But you will have to wait. The reason being, HTC will launch new devices come this Q2 and Sense 4.0 is slated to be running on those devices. Such devices include the Ville, Edge,etc. So when those devices are released at the upcoming GSMA WMC on 27th February. You can expect a port a few days after that since there is bound to be someone posting the dump files and source code. This is how our sense 2.0 and 3.0 ROMs came about on our HD2s and its the only way. Custom building a ICS and Sense ROM from scratch is no easy task and like what chrisrj28 said above, it might not be possible for the devs.
