[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
there isn't any one "best" rom out there, it all depends on your taste man, do you want sense or not? if so which version? are you a benchmark freak? do you want Ice cream sandwich or Gingerbread?

honestly the first thing I do when i root my phone is get setCPU on there, although I've been using system tuner to great effect.

I'd use faux kernel as well, better battery life and overclockable if ya need the extra horsepower, but I noticed it breaks a few things like wifi tethering for me on a few roms (it seems to be only ones built around a non T-mobile base)?

after that its up to you, good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol but seriously... Energy ROM is the best :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I too use NRGZ Energy ROM. Everytime I flash a different ROM I always tend to revert back to Energy.

If the Sense 3.6 ICS ROM by Adjust was fully working i'd rock that. I tested it and that ROM flys! Too bad tho with all the drama that seems to revolve around him.
[HTC Amaze 4G] relloj12:
Ok ok. I've been hearing that the big issue with rooting the amaze is the s-off situation. I read a thread where someone mentioned successfully achieving this feat on an amaze with running an unlocked bootloader. As mentioned before...I'm super new to these terms and this process, so I've been having difficulty locating these instructions. I've been told to have someone do it for me, but I really want to learn these rooting skills for myself. I live that you guys have come up with ways to make our phones just that...OUR phones. Sorry for the noob questions...but I truly appreciate all of your help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Read the Stickies on how to root. It's actually really easy to root this phone.

1. Unlock your bootloader.

2. Flash a recovery

3. Flash superuser for rooted stock or flash a custom Rom.

Of course there are preliminaries that must be done first. Like having ADB and the HTC USB Drivers.

Chuck Norris CAN touch MC Hammer! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
s-off allows the user to flash a different boot.img (custom kernel) as well as different carriers' RUUs, you can still flash a boot.img without s-off but you'd need to use a program like the Easy Kernel Flasher. Regular ROM flashing isn't affected by s-off other than that

and am I the only one who doesn't like NRGZs Rom? I flip between One Good ROM and Stock
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I don't like odexed ROMs :(

If it were deodexed I may try it. Is rather be able to remove any app I want without issues.

Personal preferences I guess :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
S-off has nothing to do with rooting. Double0k said it perfect. Unlock bootloader. Flash custom recovery. Flash custom rom. Nrgz custom rom :D

Since ur just learning, use this. It will make it much easier for you... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905

It will pretty much do everything for u except flash a custom rom which u do through recovery. And i believe he had to remove all the recoverys so i recommend using this one http://androtransfer.com/xboarder56/HTC Amaze 4g/Recoverys/5.8.0.9/ph85img.zip after u unlock your bootloader, place that file on your external sd card. Turn off your phone, turn it back on holding down the volume down button to boot into bootloader. It will then ask if u want to install update, select yes. U will now have a custom recovery.

lol don't hate me for thinking different

*shot for bad apple pun*

anyway didn't NRGZ say that a sense 4 rom was in the works? I'd jump ship for that
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nah... He's just waiting for it to leak (prolly mainly for the kernel) and then it will come out...

He did say he was gonna do a 3.5 port, but jumped ship on that cuz BT wouldn't work... That was a buzz kill

[LG Optimus 2x] chaozbr:
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get all the potential from my O2x, so I have installed CWM, flashed DjangoManouche 1.2, and installed the Supercharger script from the Django topic, the question now, is why my battery drains so fast, I think I have overlooked something, and what can I do to get more power from my phone.

Thanks in advance :D
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
i can think of two issues...

1)try to change the BB/RIL combination to the one mentioned in the first post of the ROM by the developer...(DJ 1.2 is V20Q)

2)allow the battery to be charged and discharged for a couple of times....I mean a few cycles to check the actual performance...

Personally, DJ 1,2 is the best in GB ROMs - in performance,stability and speed....I am waiting for the Developer to come to ICS ...:D

Hope he is listening...one of my best friends in this forum.....I am waiting my friend for you in ICS
[LG Optimus 2x] chaozbr:
Thanks for the reply, I think that my RIL is right, because in GetRIL app, it says that my RIL is 0725 (V20q, Europe) and my baseband is 1035.21_20110725, how can I see if my baseband is 20q too?

And how many charges I will need to make, to get my battery working properly? At last, which kernel you think I get best battery / performance? And it's normal to get the phone at 40ºC or hotter when charging?

Sorry for my bad english, it isn't my native language :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] janezzx:
Are you sure that running for maximum performance, you wont damage or even brick your phone? And I guess 40c is kinda hot for the phone.. I used to get this hot phone on couple of roms this winter, but not any more.. I would suggest you to try out Owain's ICS , yesterday came out most stable and smooth version - RC0-35 And today he strted conversation with EaglesBlood , so hopefully soon we will get something amazing..
[LG Optimus 2x] chaozbr:
Friend, and your battery, how much time it lasts? Mine don't last for more than 12 hours of medium use, what kernel are you using now? And I want a stock ROM if I can choose :-D

Thanks for helping

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] moonstar845:
Any way to work around this data cap?

What a freaking scam, makes me rage. 60kbps download speed is a freaking joke
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] munzik:
We had a work-around. But it has since been patched by Tmobile.

So the answer is, no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
The workaround is to pay them more money or use wifi at starbucks or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
60kbs? You're in luck then because most of us get 6-10kbs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
I wouldn't consider it a scam as they have several different plans to choose from depending upon your data needs. I myself have the 5GB plan and usually come in just over 2 GB's and that is with constant syncing, surfing and downloading of ROMS (200+ Mb's apiece) and apps while at work and at play. Granted, while at home I am using wifi.

My question is, what is everyone doing to use so much data so quickly? Are you streaming a ton of high def content? Are you using this as your home internet connection?

At the end of the day, T-mobile has to manage their bandwidth consumption and given the option of throttling versus paying for data overage, I choose throttling every time. Plus, if you realize you use too much data you can always upgrade to the next higher plan. If price is an issue, the retention department has always worked wonders for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rayray430:
I always run out of my 5gb cap every month by surfing online, constant background sync for emails and Facebook. I also listen to internet radio and YouTube.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
It's not a scam. It's what you agreed to in your contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] moonstar845:
Not true. I remember when they didnt data cap or throttle. It just happened out of no where for me and i never agreed to it in any contract. You dont think its a scam to reduce your speed to 60kbps where you cant even stream pandora or it takes like 3 minutes to load a webpage? /joke
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
I too remember when they didn't cap or throttle, but I don't believe for a second that you didn't agree to it. First of all, are you under contract? If so, then yes you did as part of the TOS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aguiltysoul:
mobile has had a 5GB limit on data since June 2008 before throttling. They just started enforcing

it in the last year or so.

2. Protective Measures

To provide a good experience for the majority of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth; if your total usage exceeds 5GB (amount is subject to change; please periodically check T-Mobile.com for updates) during a billing cycle, we may reduce your data speed for the remainder of that billing cycle. We may also suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, Plan, or service if you use your Data Plan in a manner that interferes with other customers’ service, our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or that otherwise may degrade service quality for other customers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
I do remember there being a point at which you had 30 days (or some other amount of time) to opt out of your contract if you no longer agreed to the tos. This was pushed to subscribers when the cap came out.

I dont mean to go off on a rant, but im really getting sick and tired of people crying like babies because there data is capped. Honestly, whatever your doing on your phone that is using 5 gb a month you most likely need to find a different way to consume that data. A lot of people have some misguided representation of what there needs are leading to these crazy feelings of entitlement. "They're scamming me, i need to be able to watch my youtube/redtube/netflix" I tried hard to go over my limit last month and i was 800mb shy.

To the OP, your pissing in the wind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveinSoCal:
I went through my 5GB of data in a little over two weeks. I use Pandora all day at work (stupid network restrictions) and I also use it for Youtube. I have noticed that my web browsing has slowed a little bit, but where it really effects me is trying to watch videos either on Youtube or ESPN, kinda of reminds me of the dial-up internet days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
this is my sole internet connection for home. im at work almost every day, and with the 5gig plan i can get away without having a deadicated internet line.

I pay the xtra 30 bucks and I get 10 gigs and free hotspot! So worth it. I called and they gave me 10$ off my bill for 24 months bcuz I been with tmobile for more than 8 years. Call and ask for customer loyalty. Tell them your fed up and ready to leave tmobile due to data caps and prices on the plans they will do something to keep u happy. Then put data up. Also could be in my head maybe I'm crazy but I feel it way faster 4g since I upped from 5 to 10 lol.

Users who installed any Sense 4 ROM would also have a chance to get free 23GB extra space from HTC One promotions, but looks like this illegitimate method of getting free 23GB has been caught by the Dropbox itself.

So I think I should get my files on Dropbox as soon as possible before they deleted it because 23GB free space I've got is the illegitimate method by using ported Sense 4 ROM.

maybe they will only remove the extra 32Gb and leave the previous space

what do you think?

thanks for the info!
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
They will remove the 23GB that was part of the promo but leave what you had before.

So you don't need to remove all your files.

if you'll find any other way to get it back please let me know...

BTW , if you guys don't know it there are some pretty simple ways to gain up to gain like 640MB... https://www.dropbox.com/free
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Can't remember how I got there, I think by installing first ICS release, beta apk, + few other promotions but hey, check my storage ;) I didn't get 23gb with sense 4 though. Will try it now.

Can't upload IMG for some reason. 54gb it shows :)
[HTC Sensation] rotman253:
what????

how????

all I need is 20GB and everyone has 50+ for free???

Guys why are you not using box.net. You get 50gigs upfront and its has android app and work's with all the applications.

[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I would recommend flashing 0.4.0 first, then Gapps if you want it, then boot up. Then wipe cache and flash to 0.4.4 and re-flash Gapps. This method has been posted for the previous couple versions to avoid problems and seems to resolve a lot of issues. Might give it a shot and at least see if 0.4.0 will boot. Also check to make sure your download is the correct size and not corrupted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbb2388:
try pulling the battery and then booting again. if that doesn't work flash 0.4.0 first like ccallahan suggested

[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
when you first flash any cm9 fresh, not over a backup, you must flash twice. Joker has mentioned this many times that the scripts he has for the install have to run twice in order to fully install.

1. Flash cm9 (whatever beta you want)

2. Reboot recovery (in advanced in cwm)

3. Flash rom again

4. Flash gapps

5. Boot to system

You should be good to go now
