So are there any other ones that are worth changing or adding?

The only thing I would like to do to make this a daily driver is get battery percentage showing-- drives me crazy not having it.. but I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing it, or want to try flashing the ICS.zip that changed the look before..
[HTC Amaze 4G] WellTrainedVC:
ICS Upgrade to 4.0.3 using leaked ROM

Thank you Football for posting the file to update to the unofficial-official update.

After hours of consuming pages of posts in this forum as well as the HTC Community's forum,

and completing the download. I decided to accept the instructions from the HTC Community forums. There is no need to do any special prep work besides the usual backing up of data. This will erase any text messages stored on your internal memory as well as applications. Ignore the s off and s on or mod talk if and only if you own a stock T-Mobile Amaze 4G!!!

1. I have a stock T-Mobile Amaze 4G (this is important as the ROM is for T-Mobile)

2. Once download completes rename the file to PH85IMG (I am using Windows 7 to download thus I did not need to add the .zip to the file name).

3. Transfer file to your external SD!

4. Turn off phone

5. Boot phone into HBOOT (holding the volume down + power button, tapping power button)

6. The phone will automatically detect the ROM named PH85IMG.zip

7. Be patient! You will be asked if you would like to update. Select 'Yes'. Be patient!

8. Your phone will restart so leave it alone

9. After it restarts it will go through the file it detected unzipping and upgrading each file

10. Once this process is complete you will see a prompt to finish upgrade restart phone by hitting the power button (my phone shut off, and I had to manually power on again)

11. It will take a few moments to boot. Please take that time to panic or freak out.

12. After biting your nails you will be happily greeted by the same process as when you first received your phone (so be certain to have any e-mail addresses and passwords handy as well as that for any wireless networks you may use)

13. Last is the long process of reinstalling anything you may want so far as apps go

14. Enjoy the new interface, it is beautifully designed and works well

If you don't like my plain languages explanation, remark to your hearts content!

Does the process retain root? If not, how do you push superuser?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dasudevil:
I did these steps yesterday and it really is that easy. I have been afraid to do anything like update via hboot or root since i bricked 2 MT3G v1.0. After being coached by a few AMAZING users its not that HARD. If I can do it and I am a sissy anyone can. Just remember this is for a bone stock Tmobile Amaze 4G

Great Instructions!!!!

(now all i need to do is get enough balls to root)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
So hows the battery life after this update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dasudevil:
Being bone stock. I think its okay. I have been on it non stop since I updated yesterday. From I think noon to 8pm i went 100% to 20%. I was using the crap out of it. Trying to get all my apps back, syncing, playing some games, and tweaking the hell out of it. This is with auto sync, screen time out set to asap, screen dim set to the lowest option and all on wifi. Found out there is NO service im my area. GB lied to me and so did tmo. LOL

Today will be the best test when I go to work and use it for music and a few games.

Overall I love the look and feel just wish Tmobile would stop shoving apps down our throats.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Karmavore:
I'm running stock too, and from what I've noticed with Battery Mix, is that my phone now uses incredibly little power during idle/screen off. And phone calls also use less power now. But I've had wifi on, and it's been using a lot of power. I'm going to tweak my settings, but I'd definitely say it's more efficient now using cell and 4G.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ZeiLanS:
it works

hey guys, i've done it too.

Before i got a stock ROM with Unlocked Bootloader, S-ON and Rooted.

Then i just use the beer tool. 20 times trying and... Got S-Off

Next step i've just installed the beer's hboot directly from programm.

After that i installed this rom "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616680&page=2" without super-cid or flashing eng hboot.

And my Amaze 4G are alive! And i've saved my beer's hboot, recovery. Rooted.

Did i missed something or now i got a good, stable phone work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Wifi shouldn't use that much power unless it is a very weak signal, if even a decent signal you will use MUCH less battery staying connected to wifi than if you stay on 4g.

I live in Jacksonville and I got fantastic reception before this-- now when I check battery details I get at most a constant yellow signal, without a big battery improvement.. I'm not complaining, but the biggest drain for others was weak signal, and mine is still just as good-- so no big difference.

And as long as you don't have a bunch of apps keeping the phone out of deep sleep the battery should be equally good- perhaps it handles the kernel alarms differently to limit drain?

If you get rooted here are some apps you can definitely delete

I think system tuner in the market is free, but it is a great app, makes backup/freezing/removing these files quick and easy-

411 and more

Access t-mobile

Bonus apps

Bookmark widget(actually *ANYTHING* that says widget, I deleted all)

HTC Checkin Service(involved in reporting statistics you probably don't want to share that drains battery)

More for me

Movie editor

Peep

QXDM2SD(google it, not needed)

Slacker Radio

Stocks

Stocks(it showed twice)

t mobile mall

T mobile video chat(it is qik in the market, can always redownload later)

Telenav gps navigator

Twitter(reinstall not root if you use it)

Visual Voicemail

Zinio

I deleted more than that, but those are some I backed up first..

Just saying, easy way to get more zip from the rom, and less bloat to scroll thru..

possible to uninstall the google+ and facebook?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I just froze them both, restarted, no FC's or anything wonky, so I imagine yes. Of course I can't live without my pictures automagically thru the g+ app, and facebook.. well I use that to sign into other apps, lol.

You know, for you and anyone else-- if you go into settings-apps-select an app, it has a disable button that seems to work exactly like freezing, AND works on system apps.. why not give that a try?

I am stuck at step 6 and cannot post a reply in the developer section as I haven't po

I cannot get cwm installed.

1) Be Locked with S-Off using JuopunutBear's S-Off method.

2) Flash the ENG Hboot 1.90.2005 (rename to ph85img.zip and boot to bootloader)

3) With S-off and the ENG Hboot, rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and put on root of external SD card

4) Boot into bootloader and apply the update

5) Once updated, reflash the ENG Hboot again

6) Flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery-cwm-ruby-5.5.0.4.img)

7) Flash the Superuser package in recovery to gain root

Adb devices sees that i am connected.

Usb debugging on.

Unknown sources is checked.

I put the amaze into fastboot and connect it via usb.

Weird thing is "recovery" is an option in hboot but only goes to a black screen with a phone and red exclamation point.

When i run the command line entry:

fastboot flash recovery-cwm-ruby-5.5.0.4.img

from adb I get the following error: unknown partition ' recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-ruby.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for ' recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-ruby.img'

i have put the img file in the platform-tools folder and on the sdcard. I have worked thru everythoing else and have S=off with ics thanks to these forums. This is probably a dumb mistake on my part too.

edit: thanks glacierguy. dumb mistake.

Weird one for me, I can't use "adb remount"

Worked fine before. Works fine with my nook color. I can't push any files, rename.. anything actually useful with adb besides stuff like reboot recovery and such.

I spent a lot of time looking, if any suggestions please let me know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ZeiLanS:
Okay, thank you. I have deleted all I want to. But still got a big battery power loss. Hope faux will release a new kernel for ics amaze 4g :beer:

Sorry if I don't understand you, but as I know: when you install a new leaked ICS it will flash your HBoot. Exactly the Hboot supports your adb/other app commands.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RXDriv3r:
To everyone complaining about the battery dying faster on ICS...I dunno bout that...if anything I

THINK

it may be due to the 4G. Reason being, my Tmo account is currently suspended so I get no Internet connection, other than wifi when I'm at home...and well look at this pic..charged it to 100% then rebooted the phone to get the hrs/min down to 0 so I could see how long it would last.

As you can see due to lack of internet, I've barely used my phone when I'm outside my house with no wifi. Even then its still a great time seeing as even if I didnt use the phone alot before, my battery would never last that long.

I've always felt mostly patient with noobs, and inpatient with ignorant trolls.. even if often you don't find out which they are till later.

I have this ICS version installed on a Wind device, re-unlocked, re-rooted and re-installed the recovery. I even had to use the Super-CID trick to get it to work on my Wind phone. S-off worked too. I honestly can't believe I got it all to work as this is my first time messing with my device...

Everything is good accept my mobile data will not connect. I have calling, wifi and texting service but no mobile internet (data).

Anyone know how to fix this? I think it has something to do with the T-mobile-ness of it messing with Wind?

I think someone already jumped on you for posting in multiple threads, so I won't use CAPS.

The mobile data APN settings are for T-Mobile. you need to look up the values used by Wind and enter them.

[HTC Amaze 4G] sunlaw2:
Yes or no now...flame me later!

To clarify...

Amaze is,untouched/stock out of the box.

To update footballs leak tell me if im correct.

1.rename it

2.put on root of sdcard

3.go to bootloader.

4.volume up,apply update,load,reboot.

Is it that simple?

Remember,its out the box/stock

I have read everyday since it was leaked,but its still unclear if I need to root.

A yes no will suffice.

And out of respect I will shoot myself later.

I did check the 2nd post about how to flash with s-on,but still not sure if I need root,or if its the same as an ota that just needs to be renamed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ajh4g:
i saw this on another website sunlaw...

​

No, that's wrong. If you have T-Mobile, you can flash from the bootloader without root. In fact, you have to relock the bootloader to flash from the bootloader. Download the ICS leak and copy it to the root directory of the SD card as "PCIMG85.ZIP". Pull the battery out of the phone. Reinsert it, and turn it on while holding the volume down button to enter the bootloader. Select the bootloader and it should parse the PCIMG85.ZIP for a few minutes, then give you the option to install it. Do it IF YOU DARE.

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND SD CARD. BACK EVERYTHING UP!

Heres the website

androidcommunity. com/htc-amaze-4g-ice-cream-sandwich-update-leaked-20120423/ (cant post outside links, smh)

[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Pull the battery

Insert the battery.

Hold the down volume while hitting the power button.

The update should occur if you have the file on your external SD card.

For root access you will need to unlock the bootloader. Do a couple of searches after you achieve ICS.

ICS Problems thus far.

Hey guys. Former lurker, turned n00b member.

So far I have loved ICS on my Amaze but have seen two problems.

-4g is spotty in areas I know 4g to exist. A reboot fixes the problem for a while.

-When on wireless, and you make a call (using the tmobile network, not wireless calling) you cannot hear the phone ring. But you can here the recipient pick up.

Maybe the official version will fix these, but I thought I would share.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sunlaw2:
Signsl seems fine for me,when I use the amaze.

Had one random screen of death,fixed by battery pull.

After that,its been fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
I have had nothing but problems with ICS, seriously considering going back to GB. I've mentioned the problems before but if you must know...

-Horrid battery life

-Unstable battery reading once it drops under 30%

-Wireless signal is complete crap now

-Turning on Wifi disables wireless signal completely

-Cant turn off text prediction

-Actually runs slower than GB on mine (NRG ROM)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I don't have any of those problems except awful battery life (just as bad as GB though) on stock rooted ics. I keep trying to suggest that people use stock and modify it to their likings.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Take out bloat, this will speed it up, also go to develop settings and change the background process limit to 4 or less(have to every reboot), or flash a non-stock rom that does any of these things.

flash the mod I have posted in multiple places that hugely improves battery - Here, I even went and got you the link- flash in recovery and you're done, makes a HUGE difference(because of the way it handles writing memory I think)

unstable battery reading ONLY applies if you have flashed a battery % mod - and it is ONLY off by a few % - and I am pretty sure you do NOT have this issue at ALL if you flashed the original leak while on 100% battery!

wireless signal is actually NO DIFFERENT, it just REPORTS differently- I have researched this and it is one of the improvements in ICS, not a flaw in the release.. you get signal where you did before, it is just showing you a more ACCURATE display of the strength.

add whatever keyboard you used to use in gingerbread that you were happy with, then turn off text predition

And I know for a FACT that background data turned off on gingerbread because it would take a minute to reconnect after turning off wifi, or it would connect to 4g when you send a mms while on wifi(can't be sent via wifi)- to have both 4g AND wifi on would kill your battery!
[HTC Amaze 4G] rock7632:
One question. My amaze is s-on and in order to flash a custom ICS rom it says to flash the firmware package through bootloader. Can anyone point me to some instructions on how to do that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
I would strongly suggest that you invest some of your own time and do some reading, use the search function. Take some time to learn what your doing rather than following someones instructions, the information is out there and pretty easy to find. Not trying to be harsh or rude, but too many people come here looking for a hand out, without investing much of their own time and that just is not cool.
[HTC Amaze 4G] larrylawr:
Very few ICS bugs, dictation is much better.

I dont usually comment on these forums cause they are an intellectual persons nightmare. There is no way to rate the roms, or "like" the roms or developers, and It takes hundreds of page clicks to find anything.

Since few people were mentioning their experience, and or bugs with ICS roms I thought I would comment.

I installed RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17D C_30.78.550L.15_release

yesterday, and it was painless. It took a while to sign in to my multiple accounts and update all the apps. I can verify the battery works just fine for me, just as good as gingerbread. The only glitch was that it states Voice search is installed, but it isn't. It's not listed on my phone. somehow market thinks I have it, but i don't. I will sideload it. The new voice recognition makes this phone twice as nice. I can dictate way faster. Everything is smooth. Thanks to everyone for the ROm and I really do appreciate all you do.:)

The same problem I have run into..
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
If you backed it up with titanium backup then restore that file, if you did a nandroid before ICS then upzip the data.img file from the backup(you may be able to do this in astro without unzipping) then pull out the apk and reinstall it. It WILL install, it will work, the problem is with what the developers listed as compatible devices.

If all of that doesn't work, you SHOULD be able to use the build.prop from a gingerbread rom to change change certain lines(what device this is) to fool the market into thing you have a supported device(reboot), then you can put back the original build.prop and reboot.

Or just e-mail the devs, they will send you the APK, and add this build to their device list.

If you go the build.prop method you just change make a copy of the build.prop in the system folder, change this line from:

I haven't tried it on our amaze, but then again none of my apps have had this happen. It should work, it has worked for my other devices no issue.
