[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollerballmouse:
After playing with the Xperia S a few days ago I want to sort my phone out finally (hasn't been properly setup in ages).

At the moment I'm running "DarkyRom JVQ V10.2" with kernal "2.6 35.7 #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ".

My battery life is fine (needs to be recalibrated though) but it's still a bit laggy, no idea if I have lagfixes.

I would like ICS if it'll enable it to be snappy/quick but not really bothered as I don't believe there's any major thing in there for me over gingerbread. The other thing is I'd like to always have the buttons in the notification bar if possible (stuff like GPS/Wifi/auto rotate), think I will be using the GO launcher based on playing with a friends. I also like customisation, stuff like notifcation bar icons, colours etc.

Any ideas or pointers to the right place? I don't need a big tutorial just a pointer to the right place would be fine, also a bit stuck with some of the tutorials I've looked at as they all seem to have so many ways and just reference "flash this kernal" without actually showing how/pointing to the right direction.

Thanks.

EDIT: I've done a bit of research and I like the look of AOKP (Kang project). It seems to have the most features and be the most solid ROM. What kernal should I use though?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Aokp with semaphore or devil kernel.

Been on it for the last week coming from Team ICSSGS RC4.2. Loving it, very responsive

Also if you insist staying on GB try Juwe's rom, haven't been updated or ages though but it ran well for me while I was still on it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiddhard:
I personally prefer using the GamerzRom. Although the name is kinda misleading, it is a good ROM for a daily driver.

Its faster than most ROM's I've played around with. Not too graphic heavy and I use it for my App development testing and for business purposes. All in all, it's fast, responsive and snappy.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Clay333:
I just bought a used razr and it came rooted with ICS installed. It also had the arctic on the sd card, so i flashed that. I would like a 100% stock rooted rom for a Verizon razr (xt910 i think, correct me if i am wrong). I am new to motorola, so i would like to get used to stock before i start modding. I want to stay rooted with custom recovery if possible so i can flash other roms in the future. Could somebody post a link of what i am looking for, or at least guide me in the right direction? Coming from and Evo and Evo 3d things are way different on a moto. Thanks

I've heard through the grape vine that sense 4.0 is rather vanilla as compared to sense 3.5. In that its more simplistic and has less animations. Anyone know if there is any truth to that? Either way, this is really exciting.

I wasn't.... Like I said, I heard through the grapevine through friends that have diff HTC devices. I really don't know much about it. Do you have some info regarding what is included/excluded? I was told that a lot of the flashy animations were gone and its a more simplistic approach.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Awesome, I see it's a port of a Virtuous ROM. Always loved their work on other HTC devices; pretty much every Droid Incredible and Inspire owner that I know swears by them.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zaydoon1300:
Thank you very much
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djfrost40:
Yes it's lighter, less animations, the clock flips and the weahter is animated but they have really cut back on a lot of the animations which in my opinion slowed sense down a lot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:
It was published on Engad... That the vivid will get sense 4.0 and they quote ATT. Is the version we now have a test release? It sure feels finished.

If they release a 4.0 version officially it must rock them cause my vivid is actually flying... So I bet rafy will treat us to it first.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Great! Thanks fellas
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I'd much rather stay on an unbranded Virtuous offer than on ATT's bloated and tweaked crap.

Especially because I like an accurate representation of the network I'm connected to in my statusbar.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
We may get sense for officially half a year or so from now but officially we will be getting 3.6
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
If we get it officially, it'll be full of ATT branding and "4G". Which I despise with a burning passion.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
You have a link that says we are getting Sense 4.0? I've never seen one. Every link regarding the Vivid update always says Android 4.0 and an updated Sense experience. Never been a mention of Sense 4.0 for the Vivid.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ghostdogg:
If you read the quoted article in the picture with the red rectangle around it you'll see where it says "updated sense experience" and the person writing the article either misread or has information that hasn't been uncovered elsewhere.

Edit: After reading the comments he directly replied to that observation by saying "well it says updated sense ui.. no reason it wont be 4.0 like the others"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Year, and it doesn't say anything about Sense 4.0 anywhere in the official statement from AT&T. If you didn't notice, we have ICS ROMs from the actual AT&T update and it is Sense 3.6.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djfrost40:
I can't say that I'm a big fan of sense 3.6 its not bad but its just ok.

Not a real ics experience. The entire ics experience kind of masked heavily with the sense3.6

I had to put aways my HTC vivid and use my skyrocket just to get the full ICS experience. Maybe once I see a sense 4.0 port ill break it back out again until then I think I'm done with HTC
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:
3.6 or 4.0 officially from htc does not matter. We are getting a port soon and it will be properly tuned and tricked out to our liking. If they release a 4.0 then we will have a base to get the port tweaked better.

upgrades available now for the Nordic Sensations are 3.6

So it is safe to assume that will be the case with the Vivid. I do not think any phone will get Sense 4.0 officially until after the ONE Series release so that phone becomes the first with sense 4.0
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
For RIL, you should be able to just use the /system/bin/qcks from the ROM your phone shipped with.

Ex: if you have 1.85 HBOOT, use the qcks from the ICS OTA, or if you have 1.83 HBOOT, use the one from GB stock ROM.

I don't know the full details of what you've tried already, so forgive me if this is something you've already tried :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Already tried using the ril from our 3.6 leak. The problem seems is that the 4.0 framework doesn't have the coding for our lte radio. Working on merging smali into the framework but its going slow. Really need a sense 4.0 from one of the upcoming att lte phones. The framework from that would be compatible with our ril.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
This link should have some details listed about 4.0. Hopefully if we get a port hope it makes phone a bit more responsive.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
I'm confused. Can you not turn off the animations in Sense 3.x if you want? If people want to be "Android purists" then buy the Nexus. I love HTC Sense I have since it was TouchFLO 3D. It's an amazing UI that has IMO lost its way with 3.5/3.6 at least graphically. But if you don't like the HTC experience WHY BUY AN HTC PHONE? Again ... I'm confused. How does the UI feel "bloated" I have the same Vivid as everyone else and this thing FLIES. So please explain this "bloated" complaint - or is this more akin to people who complain about fraction of a pound smartphones being "too heavy"?

OK. Quick rant over.

This looks AMAZING! Hope we can pull this off!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qberty:
People don't only buy an HTC device just for sense you know. I for one, love HTC Sense. Whether you like it or not, the sense UI IS bloated. By bloated, I mean everything that has to do with Graphics in the HTC framework, is OVERdone. As in, too much is put into it to make it look as good as it does. Mind you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some people buy HTC devices for their sleek designs, which I also enjoy. Seeing as how it runs Android, some people want the choice of having a clean/Vanilla Android experience, saving RAM, battery, and space.

Typical Vanilla Android ROM size: 60-200 MB

Typical HTC Sense Android ROM size: 300-400 MB

As you can tell, Sense UI IS in fact bloated in every aspect of Android, which makes it so well built. Some people don't like that.

Sense 4.0, is the same HTC Framework we all love from sense roms, but with a LOT of the graphical elements minimized. This makes the overall experience faster, less size, less ram, less battery and an overall more efficient Android build.

An easy example of this would be a custom launcher. Ever tried ADW/GO Launcher on the Vivid? It's insanely fast. You may be given the illusion that sense flies. It may very well do so, but a stripped down, less graphical launcher would still show improvement.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
To each their own folks. HTC Sense is beautiful but can be a bit laggy and hog some extra resources. HTC put some great hardware on this puppy, so I can also see why the AOSP lovers are foaming at the mouth with how great of an experience it should end up being. Let's keep this thread free of nonsense talk arguments though. It is the dev section after all... ;)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] A-to-the-J:
I'm very excited to see someone working on a Sense 4.0 port. I've probably made a big handful of people switch to an HTC device by just letting them mess with my phone. I've had an HTC device since the Mogul on Sprint.

I thought the Ville was scrapped for the OneXL?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
I think that is a pretty Naive & some of it is plain wrong(The OP knows what I am talking about I am sure).

Firstly, the framework is nothing more than a group of Davlik Executable files & mostly linux fork & Java files. Most that learn or actively develop (not just cook) know how to modify arrays & add, move or remove items to screens & menus as needed.

I personally am working with Jan, who is the guy that got the ICS EQS & APM released (The only one to support new Camera, btw) & framework modification is nothing more than correctly identifying the xml/smali/resource changes, adding correct resources & updating .arsc & dex files.

So, to say that Vivid developers don't have Android Framework Experience is either something I am misunderstood or completely incorrect.

99% of the Development done for the Vivid is done via Gtalk & IRC. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to have another dev around the forum, but to slam existing developers or think that collaboration wouldn't benefit the project is pretty naive. Linux & Java. That's all it is. Two of the most widely referenced platforms on earth. It doesn't take that much to learn to modify arrray constructs, constants, instances, add resources, update/edit bootclasspaths, arsc's or dex files (wheter you use java/smali/baksmali or apktool).

A lot more is done for the Vivid than you'll find done by some of the some fo the splashy cut & paste 7zip chefs & most of the roms are Sense roms because most HTC users stick with HTC because the enjoy Sense, not to mention there are so many issues with AOSP when it come to devices that are filled with proprietary modules, drivers & other binaries. AOSP itself does not natively support LTE, that is one of the reasons the Verizon branded G. Nexus is not a Google Dev supported device. You just build a rom with AOSP that functions as well as the newer sense roms do on newer devices. Partly because HTC is finally using Qualcomm board specific coding in many instances & that proprietary code is not in any sorce.

As for Sense roms in general, most HTC user stick with HTC because they enjoy the Sense experience. Many of use even own & work on other devices, but prefer & stick with the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
BTW, I modify a rom for testing & personal use & the CWM flash zip I use is over 600mb compressed. I am running Sense 3.6 on ICS 4.0.3 & I have about 480mb free at boot time. Properly implmented & without mucking things up with a ton of needless scripts, I rarely if ever drop below 350mb free & I have nearly 30 additional apps installed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
ok so i was the first one against ics, and when i tried the sense 4.0 on my previous sensation i guess it was still very early and i didn't like it, but for the past hour or so i've been playing around with it on my Inspire 4g and i'm kinda falling for it, so i can't wait to see this rom come to life on my vivid :)

i might be one of the few who would say this, but i don't really care for lte lol

3g is fine, specially for those who don't have unlimited data, kinda pointless.

so as it is right now does that even work or is it all not working all together cuz of the lte?

thanks :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:

Not to complain, but why did my Incredible S have Sense 4 long before this phone even has ICS? Is it this LTE issue?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
Yeah. The major issue holding this project up is getting the RIL (radio interface layer) to work, and yes the LTE is a major part of that, although I'm not sure that LTE is the only thing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] YamiYaiba:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robjvan:
Might as well close this one, doesn't seem like there'll be Sense 4 for the Raider/Vivid any time soon. I don't think there's many devs willing to devote the time needed and not move onto better phones/projects.
