[HTC Amaze 4G] starskyrob:
I've begun laying the work for the first Foxstar Rom on the HTC Amaze.

One Problem.

I have no amaze. My girlfriend does [jessfox on xda]. She happens to live 20 mins away, and sort of needs her phone.

So, I need YOU!

You want to wake up the community here a bit? Want to stop seeing n00bish threads about BOOHOO WE GOT NO DEVS?

Want to be a part of some real development work?

Like having stuff before its released?

Want to cure AIDS and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?

Well we can do some of that together!

[please note Starskyrob does not intend to cure any diseases besides lag, bloat, and CIQ]

email me @ starskyrob@gmail.com

or Gtalk me : starskyrob@gmail.com

or call me at : [you need an xda gold account to see this number]

Let's do this!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
I'lll be happy to help you out bro
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I'll test too.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Would love to test! Is it based on GB or ICS? Sense? Would like a little background info :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
Ok i emailed you

Aww man, XDA platinum doesn't stack benefits with gold.
[HTC Amaze 4G] starskyrob:
My main philosophy as a Rom Chef / Dev has always been performance tweaks with the ability to allow the user to customize.

On the SGH-t989 [T-Mobile GS2 Variant] I kept touchwiz optional, but modified it to allow the user the ability to customize as they saw fit.

On the Epic 4G, StarskyROM was the same way. Hella performance and battery savings, mods to allow customization, but absolutely no bulls*** overhtheming.

There is nothing worse than flashing a ROM that is amazingly well set up, only to find that the theming is HIDEOUS, and difficult to change.

I keep stock looks with minor UI tweaks.

I add custom init.d scripts, build.prop tweaks, framework edits, animation speed edits, battery saving scripts and then I post the first RC.

After the first Release Candidate i await feedback from the community. Where we go from there is up to them. That is what I believe is the best method for development work. Get your idea out there, let people use it and tear it apart, then suggest changes. It's the heart of open development :]

That being said, this will be Sense 3.6. This will include Rosie and her mods [eventually].

Thanks for your interest. It should be fun developing for a phone which I do not posess :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
#1. Jessfox is awesome, Idk if I have seen any posts from her lately...

#2. I'd love to help... but before I do... I need to know whether or not my phone will have service.... I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE SERVICE on my phone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
Sounds great and trust developing for a device you don't own is a pain i'm doing it with the lg nitro but to see the look on there xda accounts when the take their first lick of ice cream sandwich priceless.... lol :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
I have to wait 25 more mins before I can thank this post..... I used up my 8 thank you's today...
[HTC Amaze 4G] starskyrob:
I don't forsee a time when your phone won't have service.

However, if for some reason you didnt have service, your just restore a NANDROID backup of when you did. Problem solved :]

and yes jessfox is quite awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dq224:
I would love to be a tester. Please PM me if there is a slot available.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Id love to test I enjoyed foxstar beta testing on the t989 are you gonna have the same issue reporting system in place.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
I just had to make sure I put that out there.... because most of these cool roms I see.... do not have radio signal.... like CM9 and Xboarder's ICS...

Just installed ICS (leaked version) today.... don't know how to root my phone lol... So I gotta wait now til we have a root for it... FML...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
Can't wait for this Fox.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
You have to unlock your bootloader at HTC.Dev and then just install a recovery and superuser and you are rooted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Would like to test, I have HTC dev unlock, s-off, juopunut hboot, and currently running a sense 3.6 rom, not the leaked one, another one that is modded, with no hboot and recovery. Btw is this themed?

just if those matter for your rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Haha sorry didnt read the first few post lol so happy for the dev here growing :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] DeadWestern Shogun:
Let's do it!!! I'm down
[HTC Amaze 4G] starskyrob:
Well ladies and gentlemen the deodexed framework has been completed. Sense launcher modifications are underway as well as a mod to allow on screen navigation buttons. I'm going to be sending out a sample rom in a couple days for testing of some basic mods. Thanks for the emails, and response thus far.

A bug tracker will be posted for utilization by testers. This will be the preferred method of bug reporting and fixing.

Please be on 4ext recovery. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
You actually got it deodexed? Seems like all of the other dev's were having problems doing that.

I'd be happy to test, if you need any more testers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmith0957:
I've been considering purchasing the TF201 for a while now, but now that the TF300 has been released, I find it even more attractive at only $399. One of the things preventing me from going with a Transformer is whether or not the Dock's keyboard really enhances the overall 'experience'.

I would like to know what to expect from current users of the Transformer + Dock, of any model as I would expect similar performance. Is there a noticeable lag when typing from the dock? Do you notice more noticeable lag in the stock browser vs Dolphin, Opera, or Firefox ? How does it fare in word processing / note taking applications?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
When a large number of things are going on at once it can take a bit to select an area to type into, but once typing there is very little if any lag at all (not noticeable to me) Do take into account that I'm overclocked with a custom kernel, that may have helped. Even before doing that I remember it was relatively lag free. Stock browser is meh, you should probably find an alternative. (not for typing but for functionality reasons, gestures etc..) Dedicated word processing is great, but do keep in mind that full writing suite apps usually cost in the $15-25 range.

Just my *¢2.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebioman:
Hi

I guess for me it depends a little bit on the application but purpose as well.

I am writing parts of my doctor thesis on it, whenever I am mobile and have some time ;)

With notepad or jotterpad there is no lag in my opinion. I am actually rather positively surprised by the quality it offers. I saw lots of threads here about people complaining that the keyboard quality and the buttons would be poor. But then for me writing works pretty well, combined with the auto correction almost flawless.

And hey there might be better Bluetooth keyboards, but which one offers extra hours of battery? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zpiders:
I very rarely see it lag. I sometimes see it lag if it's been on for sometime and theirs lot of things going on in the background.
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
I have tried remote for VLC and VLC stream and convert and I can get neither of them to work.

On Remote for VLC I get an error saying connection refused

on VLC stream I get can not connect to my ip

I have followed the guides on the net but I still cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

I am on Win 7
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
if you go to the vlc stream and convert site they have so guides that will help,

but pretty much you need to allow the ports in firewall settings and set up port forwarding on your router
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
I have been racking my brain on this searching google for an answer but not once did I think of going to the actual website. what a major brain fart I had lol.

Thanks for the heads up
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
No prob, good luck
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
when you figure out how to do it. make sure you let us know. :) thanks

BTW DONT' FORGET TO ATTEMPT AND GET IT WORKING ON YOUR LOCAL NETWORK FIRST! you don't need a firewall if you're behind a router. so just uninstall that crap. I can't believe people still fall for that stuff from companies like norton and stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] joefanelli:
Agreed. Especially if you use MAC Filtering like me :D . Good 'ol WPA2 and MAC Filtering have done right by me for quite some time now. Now, Anti-virus, spyware and general internet security besides the firewall I believe is and always will be essential (unless you run a BSD or Linux based machine).
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Port forwarding puts a nice hole in your routers security. Always trust the site your opening your port for. Also you may want to read upon port forwarding to better understand what it is before you do it.

I was wondering if anyone else in a 4G area had sucky speeds today? Here's what I had today and I'm normally running between 6-10mbps. Today's speed tests ranged from 0.5-2mbps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Okay where the heck are you at???? Its all a matter of location. Might be setting up lte.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hodgie26:
I had wondered that myself. I live in Nashville and we're rumored to get LTE pretty soon, but that sucks for anyone with a WiMax phone that isn't up for an upgrade. I personally buy and resell phones all the time. I'll get whatever gets me the fastest speeds.

[G1 General] buggatti:
Hey. I am running froyo by lazlo. recently i had an idea to use development setting to kill activity immediately leave them and limit the app processes to 4. I am using lightning launcher as my main home launcher and increase vm heap to 48 and enabled JIT(sometimes its faster and sometimes slower) and enabled gpu rendering. Now my phone is flying. Apps open very fastly and according to taskkiller i have 50 mb free ram.

Bad Part. Multitasking is Dead. Sometimes playstore needs to be opened twice. mailing attachment takes longer because gmail is killed when gallery opens
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
Questions:

How did you do this?

I found the settings for JIT enabling, but all the others are not in the standard FBL rom, unless it's REALLY hidden...
[G1 General] vincom:
same here, cant find any of those settings except for jit and vm(my vm can only go to 32m), changing those 2 my first boot locked up on the home screen , 2nd boot started ok, dont c much change though, lazlo was pretty fast as it was, but after a while was laggy, backing it up and then using superwipe then restoring the backup seems to help
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
If I remember correctly, those options are in Gingerbread Roms, not FBL.
[G1 General] buggatti:
i got to the other setting using dev tools. i downloaded the apk from the Internet and the setting are there in the development setting in the app
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
That little bit of info would have REALLY helped.

From your OP, you made it sound like it was FBL without anything added.

TY. Will check it out.
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
I don't know what you got. The Development APK I have (from Android SDK) doesn't change vm size, or any or the other settings you have.

As I said, it ain't FBL.
[G1 General] buggatti:
I used the build.prop to change the vmheap size. also there is an app to that too..enabled gpu rendering by adding debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop. You can do that by using Bladebuddy app. Both the vmheap and bladebuddy are in the playstore

i enabled jit from extra settings menu in setting

the app limit and close app when user leave are in development setting menu in dev tools
[G1 General] iEmDan:
Wheres the development settings and dev tools?
[G1 General] Ace42:
It's an app called Dev tools.

Lightning Launcher makes the phone a bit faster. You have to spend some time customizing your shortcuts. I use this and Autokiller and I'm pretty happy on Froyo by lazlo.

Is there anyway to use the HTC widgets on this launcher?

Been using this launcher since the ics leak and It's been great!
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
I was going to get apex, but then I realized I'd have to redo my entire desktop layout (restoring the /data partition of my Energy ROM did it for me in Sense....lazy lol). Also I kept telling Android to choose Sense by default when I hit the home button, but it kept asking me everytime which launcher I wanted, so I uninstalled apex. Soon as an AOSP ICS Rom is releases, I'm all over apex.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
+1 that is the only thing keeping me from using apex launcher. i love htc widgets, but i love the stock ics launcher. there has to be a way!

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

in the apex options where you select it as the default remember to press "remember this option" or whatever it ask. it works for me as default
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Yeah I was selecting the "do this as default" option when I hit the home key, but it just refused to remember it for me (when selecting Sense as default launcher). Didn't try to make apex the default.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
weird when i tried both and it worked (still does). i still have apex installed and im using sense as default until i find a way if there is a way to use htc widgets on it. maybe you could try clearing default settings and trying again or something
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
There is a Sense clock widget that also has weather on it. It the store.

I really don't like the whole sense layout. Too much junk for me LOL.

I"m using Apex and love it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
i'm loving nova so far. found a music widget too. :D try phantom music widget
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
No, if you want OFFICIAL ICS look use trebuchet http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410674

The download link isn't working, and I'm pretty sure I can post it without issue.. if you like it hit their thanks button. It is really easy to push into the /system/app folder via adb or with root explorer, es file explorer, etc.

I don't have a quicker/easier way to post it than dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/Trebuchet.apk

Even though I didn't keep using caprombeta(needs root) I saw the launcher he chose and was very impressed :)

can you use htc widget on it? lol

[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Finally re-installed Apex, and it was doing the same thing. Every couple of times I hit the home button, it would ask me if I wanted Apex or Sense launcher to load. I fixed this by going into Titanium backup and freezing "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense" if anyone else is having trouble with this.

It's been my default launcher since date of op. I've never had that issue.

[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Tried it, but it didn't work. Freezing Sense worked great though.

I don't think it's just my phone though. I have a friend who has a Samsung Captivate, and I rooted his phone and installed an ICS rom for him about a month ago. I suggested Apex (the rom used Nova), so he downloaded it and has been using it. He recently told me that it keeps forgetting that it's the default launcher, and that he has to tell it again and again. :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Kept seeing apex on the post your homescreen thread and could no longer resist. Love it, its working great for me. The only thing that really bothers me is the inability to adjust how many columns are in the app drawer. I really prefer 5 and am so used to 5 that 4 looks somewhat tacky =L. Really hope that this is fixed with a future release

I have switched back and forth between AOKP and SHOSTOCK2. I have found that both ROM's are running smooth now. The best part about changing my ROM often is that most of my friends don't understand why I do it. I have found out that they have inferior phones. So I make it a priority to make sure and tell them that my kernel gets upgraded often and can dual boot ROM's now. Do I need this feature? I would say so but they would say no.

Is this due to hardware or firmware restrictions?

The only answer from Samsung is "Not available for this device".

No other explanation given.

I know there are other apps which can perform the same or similar functions which makes Samsung's position on this seem really strange.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I'd go with hardware restrictions - they probably only want to support it on their higher end devices as a "special addon", if you get what i mean.

Bit of a joke, but at least there's alternatives available.
[Wildfire General] dgmhunt:
hey all, as the title said i cant post in the dev forum, so im posting here just to warn/let people know

was using previous cm9 (arcos/ewinp) for 24 hours and mad a small bug list

OBV

CAM

GALLERY(however its odd can see the images if exiting/changing location but only brief)(or highlighted)

NOT SO OBV

CLOCK fails regularly try set an alarm "clock has failed"(however widgets and lwp clocks work)

FACEBOOK same as above (may be app issue but thought id note it)

wallpaper doesnt stretch across h/s (fixed on next update however)

none of these

now on to my small rant..

Updated 24/04/12

update went well waited to install gapps

installed and rebooted, looked fine ,

trebuchet crashed >> auto reboot

skip 30 min of fighting trebuchet and taking out sd

still rebooting so take out sim

works fine,, so updated cpu settings vm heap etc(as for some reason they went back to factory?(not happened since i soff-d) rebooted after holding stable for 5 min replaced sim

skip 30 min of getting to home screen before reboot

hmmm dont have the zip for prev version of cm9 so try splashics

issue continues

revert to cm7.2

so the long and short of it,, ics cm9 pre 24/04/12 :) work to be done but swish

ics cm9 post 24/02/12 :mad:

i know that fails as a rant but its all i have at this time in the morn,,

before anyone asks

after first 5 reboots on the FIRST attempt

cleared EVERYTHING and tried again

tried using alpha kernal in dev section

tried mtd

phone WILL destabilize >710Mhz (this is just what ive observed)

cm7 runs perfect smartassv2 652>710 64vm 28%zram

oh and hi XD i have literally got my wildfire a month ago after destroying my nokia N8 and i have to say im looking forward wandering round here and seeing how the droid compares to the symbian:)
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Hmmmmm........ With a first post like that I don't.

The thing to remember is this cm9 rom is in development (splashics is a ripoff of cm9 too), we don't have official support of cm9 because we lack a gpu, so you should think yourself lucky you even get to sample what android 4 even looks like. The rom works fine for me and for many others which leads me to believe it's something your doing wrong which is causing reboots. :rolleyes:
