I don't know... I kinda like sense.

My two Amazes (mine and my daughters) are my first HTC androids. I've had Samsung and Motorola (and helped my ex with her old Xperia a lot), and I've used CM, PacMan, MIUI, CNA, Paranoid, AOKP, BeanStalk, Liquid Smooth, etc, on the Samsung and Motorola's, as well as the stock Touchwiz and Blur roms, and, aside from the Xperia that I really haven't had enough time with to judge, I really like the look and feel Sense a little more than those others (most of which used Tebuchet, Nova, or Apex for the most part).

Regarding Google services battery drain. I find maps and currents to be the worst offenders. Greenify works well for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Hey thanks I didn't think anyone was gonna reply!

I just downloaded greenify and hibernated some apps that I thought shouldn't be running when I don't need them but it tells me maps is a system app and I can't hibernate it...

So i noticed a few people were trying to accessing the HTCCamera and gallery apks. I made a little public folder in case anyone wanted the Sense 3.6 camera or AOSP Camera. No biggie. Sorry to anyone who requested it before. I hate Google Drive's security.

Definitely my daily driver. Tried them all. Always go back to my nandroid of this rom. That's my report :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] aakash279:
same with me !!! better then stock but it'd be great if it was with sense its best because of awesome battery and stability !!!:good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Mine are on par if not better in more ways lol

All of my Roms have the same battery life if not better because I removed ALL unnecessary apps. They also have aroma with 2 kernels. I am now going to implement the ability to choose themes yet I don't understand why you guys say my stuff is good then switch to Speedrom which no longer has support. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] aakash279:
dude believe me speedrom is something which is keeping my phone alive i dont need performance that much ,actually im very out going person and i dont have time to charge my phone the whole day and because of stability its the best thats all i could say !:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] lalit387:
Sorry for asking which version or release you are on 8 or 9
[HTC Amaze 4G] junxracr:
I run version 8. Good reliable daily. Didn't really want to download 9, because I think its the same with all apps updated to jb apps, but right now I'm test driving energy final :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
support =/= rom's overall usability and smoothness

i might not support it anymore but i didn't necessarily leave the rom incomplete
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yay eclipze is back.

Yeah I know we usually leave roms that are finished as stable and complete, but people switch back and forth between yours and mine, which confuses me. I guess mine aren't good enough then :( Or they are flashaholics lol.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
+1....as well as ARHD and NRG. We've had plenty of released projects that partially work with buggy behavior, and claim theirs is the BEST? Some (roms) that are no different then ones already long ago posted and the same features don't work!

For the noobs, I guess it's exciting at first, but I would be willing to bet they eventually return to the old full function sense roms.

Obviously the Amaze has a small user base compared to other handsets, and I appreciate all the work and time individuals have contributed. Sadly, perhaps our device has seen pretty much the best of what will ever be available, other then stock.

Eye candy attracts some, but in the end, it's full functionality. IF all the features work, that's the most important part of any ROM.

Thanks to all who have contributed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lalit387:

Fully Functional or Nothing

Can anyone tell me how to replace aosp lockscreen with Htc lockscreen..?I can't find aosp locksreen in system/apps..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Darian_A:
Just flashed the rom and it's pretty solid! Got a couple questions though-

1) When looking at some of the running background apps there's a dialog box that says "The process %1$s has has violated its self-enforced StrictMode policy". Any idea as to what this is?

2) Popup dialog boxes on my device are partially see-thru, making it difficult to read text especially when there's already text in the background, anyway to remedy this?

Thanks! :)

hi

I need to flash a kernel for this Rom. I used this rom before, but I switched to CM 10,1 dark glass 3 a few months ago, and I had to flash their kernel. Now I tried to reinstall this rom, but it stucks at boot screen, so I need a kernel for this rom. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] junxracr:
What recovery are you using? I use 4ext recovery and enable smartflash. Then the rom will boot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chshahid2k:
i just updated this rom, previously i was using jellybeans on amaze with xperia z energy rom. then i installed pacman rom and now fully wiped data and everything and now using android 4.0.4 means ICS this rom.

i made a vcf backup file of my contacts in JB now the problem is iam unable to properly import vcf file in ics, its just showing too many names eg: 2009 as a contact, and some contacts are missing while if i view it with a text editor(notepad) names are showing there

anyway i synced google contacts and able to view them in my contacts app

now the problem is contacts are present in the address book but when i tap 'search' icon and search for a contact it doesn't show, but when i go through the book i can see it there

eg: if a contact name is "Walton" so if i search for Walton it doesnt show in results but if i scroll down to W then i can see Walton there and able to call/txt to it

another thing i want to ask,

-how to disable vibration for slide unlock, i have disabled the touch vibration but couldnt find where to disable slide unlock vibration

-how to disable auto volume decreasing feature, eg: when i received a call and i grab the fone out of my pocket volume started to decrease i want to disable t his feature

kindly help
[HTC Amaze 4G] aceonline:
Yup i am also had this problem and its the only reason i moved to another rom.I too would really appreciate any help regarding this. Ive used almost all the roms available and this is the only rom that gave me a great battery time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
For future reference, the preferred way to back up contacts and most user data across different ROMs and devices, is to use tools that save in XML format. Many ROMs don't support vCard, but all major backup tools and ROMs support XML. You'll have fewer headaches that way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] arceangel:
Been using this ROM for a week now just about, because of all the issues with camcorder in newer ROMS and I have to say this runs great. Battery life and stability are 10 times what they were and with xthemes and xposed I can even theme it the way I like. Still get an occasional force close but I'm gunna do a clean wipe and install and see if it was just leftover bugs from a previous ROM. Even found a way to tether to my tablet via Bluetooth which I bet would work on the newer android builds . Just Bluetooth connect devices then under Bluetooth setting check the share internet box
[HTC Amaze 4G] chshahid2k:
are contacts working fine for you? i mean have u able to sync it or imported it successfully and does the search feature working for contacts?

do reply
[HTC Amaze 4G] arceangel:
Ya all is working but I navigate to contacts thru phone app. I tried search and it works fine too all contacts synced as well

Delivery Report Problem

Hi Eclipze :)

I just flashed your rom. and It's amazing for my Amaze :)

One problem with ICS is you can't have delivery reports for messages in all messaging apps, unless you active and deactive wifi calling.

When I flash wifi calling, wifi calling is present but there no option in Setting>More to check and uncheck wifi calling. So, I can't have delivery reports. I found out about this worked around on net, but now there is no wifi calling, so there is no delivery reports.

I do appreciate your work and help :)

Thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
Still waiting for answer :(

Here is a proof about toggling wifi calling on & off to get delivery notification for sms.

http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/26471?tstart=0

But in Speed Rom, there is no option for toggling on & off wifi calling, EVEN AFTER flashing wifi calling :(

Please Help :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
Will someone post Setting.apk from Speedrom 7.7 So I can toggle wifi on & off?

Thanks In Advance
[HTC Amaze 4G] badmf80:
You need to download an app called QCustomShortcut from the play store. Then follow these instructions:

Run QCustomShortcut and fill in the following fields (you must have the 7.8 WiFi Calling zip flashed first

Shortcut Name: WiFi Calling Settings

Package: com.movial.wificall

Class: com.movial.wificall.Settings

When you 'create shortcut' you will now have a way to change your WiFi Calling Settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
Thanks for the answer.

But when I try to install it, it says : "This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?"

I choose OK, install, and get this error : "Application not installed"

My system folder is writable.

Please Help :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
been awhile for this reply, but when you did that did you have to install a gallery app too? does the 8.0 camera link to the new gallery? i replaced the apk before i flashed the rom and it works but the camera doesnt open the gallery app when i click on the picture icon in the corner
[HTC Amaze 4G] badmf80:
Not really sure what's going on. Are you sure you are rooted? I know there was an issue with root in one of the versions of SpeedRom, you might want to try flashing superuser.zip again. Sorry I can't be of more help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
Thank you for your time :)

I sure am rooted. I can access root folders, change permission, using apps which need root, i get the pop up to grant or deny the app, etc :)

But thanks for the help.

Delivery report is problem of ICS, not Speedrom. By Turning off and on wifi calling, you get delivery reports. But Speedrom doesn't have such function.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
Hello everyone

I took this rom and replaced a bunch of the broken APK's using other roms.

EVERYTHING works that I know of!

Only two force closes at start- phone system process and google play music. The process error only happens once and doesnt seem to effect anything, and google play (music) error goes away once its updated. I can't find the google play (music) apk to update it in the rom package... i don't know what its called.

BUT HERE IT IS, SPEED ROM 9.0Beta2!!

Great Speed! Great Battery Life! Great Rom!

*Have not tested yet with the latest faux kernel... should work fine though. Kernel that this comes with seems very good as is. edit- I have been using the faux kernel and it works great!
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
com.android.vending is play store I think
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
i diddnt try everything but this rom is buttery smooth and very responsive...DSP manager FC's when you try to change the sliders...thats the only issue that concerns me as i am a heavy user of DSP manager...otger than that ill let you know lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
play store... haha, must have been too excited. i meant play MUSIC force closes. never an issue with the play store. but even with play music, all you have to do is let it update and its fine after that.

I made the following changes from beta1 in the op-

-clock opens and works now

-calendar shows events (using htc calendar)

-native browser works with flash sites

-native wifi tethering works now

-mms works properly

-camera reverted back to htc cam, works great without bugs

-google tts updated and working perfect

i know there is more but i cant think of it right now. but speed rom is now in 100% working order as far as i know!

And yes, DSP manager is still temperamental. it was in beta1 as well. I can't find a DSP manager that works. If anyone can help me with that, we will have the ultimate rom. I might try removing it all together and just installing awesome beats.
[HTC Amaze 4G] omareziz:
GooglePlay Music is I think com.google.android.music

this is the playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
maybe you can pull dsp manager and libs from NRG rom It Works Flawlessly With Beats Audio Along Side
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
could it possibly be com.google.android.gm.apk?

I just uploaded the rom to dev host, and updated the link in the previous post- http://d-h.st/ByN

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

That would be great if I knew how to do it. The dsp manager apk is easy to find, its where everything else is. But libs? Im not sure where to find those in the rom

I am not a developer. All I am doing is replacing apk's from other roms. So far its been working great, I have managed to fix all the broken bits of this rom. I wanted to do it to this rom because I haven't found one faster yet... I wish the op would update this rom but I know it takes time and this is an old device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
OK so I am still at it! I am downloading Energy Rom in attempt to hack DSP manager into speed rom.

In the meantime, I have added Dock mode and Car mode!

Works great!

This isn't a stripped rom anymore, but oh well. Still fast and smooth! Maybe I should start my own thread and give this rom a new name.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
At this point this is exactly what you should do, as you haven't specifically asked [MENTION=4288905]EclipzeRemix[/MENTION] permission to kang his work. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to drop him a message to ask for permission anyway since you're using his efforts as the basis for what you're doing. You don't want to get in trouble with any of the powers that be which are running things here, and copying others work without permission and credit is strictly forbidden.

Along that line, it might also be a good idea to update this by using a newer ROM for a base. This was originally based off of an earlier ICS release. In the meantime there were several OTA's that fixed bugs and security holes that are included for example in ARHD that aren't included here. If I were to undertake such a project that's what I would do, use this ROM as a template, but use an updated build as the source. Then you can add whatever features you desire. It would be a win-win for you and anyone desiring to use it. Since it would be more secure and less buggy. Just my 2 cents

Good luck in your efforts

Ciao
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
thank you for not hating me, and explaining things instead of freaking out as I would expect from other forums. I didnt know this might be an issue. I will contact the op and make sure he doesnt care I am doing this.

I would love to learn how to make my own roms from a clean base. I don't have the time though. I have spent too much time on this as it is, but I cant find another rom that is as fast as this for the amaze... viper rom is OK but it has its own glitches, and arhd rom is way too stocky and slow. ideally, i would make a stock based ics rom with as much sense stripped out as i could. I do like a few HTC apps, but I hate sense.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
It would've been cool if you would've let me know beforehand. I don't have a problem with you using my rom either way just give credit, obviously.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
I just sent you a pm :)

Thank you so much for understanding and not being mad. I don't know how things go around here, I see people modding stuff all the time so I didn't think much of it. I of course never wanted to steal any of your work, which is why I kept it in your thread.

For now, I am just going to get DSP manager working and leave it at that. That will make this rom completely working without glitches. I foresee someday I will learn how to cook my own roms... I just have too much going on in my life to do it right now.

Question though, do you think this rom base is new enough for security concerns? I want to stay on ICS for compatibility of this device... I cant stand the JB roms because of the various issues, but I did think 4.0.4 was the latest base for ICS and I am being told otherwise..?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
It's not that hard, but it is somewhat time-consuming. Let me give you some hints. Do a search for dsixda's kitchen. There are threads where it, and a fork called archikitchen, are pinned at the top of the main dev forum on this board. It's an invaluable tool for cooking-up and porting ROMs. They will help create flashable zips and sign them as well as zipalign any apks you use in your build. They also facilitate decompiling kernel initrd and initramfs so you can manipulate them. Next, use a good file and directory comparison program. Winmerge is an excellent open source program that works in Windows, and I use Kdiff3 in Linux. These allow you to compare files in directories as well as parsing individual files for differences. They'll also tell you if compared files are binary equal or not. Finally a two pane file explorer like Midnight Commander. This will allow you to easily compare files in two directories so you can remove those you don't want or need.

Also to help in trimming down a sense ROM to "desense" it, there is a great tool called ROM cleaner. It's now at version-6.0 and you can find it in the Sensation forum. That one has a script that you edit to remove whatever sense bits you don't want then flash it in recovery just after flashing a Sense ROM. For example, say you want to use ARHD as your new base. You edit the file to remove whatever you want then flash ARHD then immediately flash ROM-Cleaner before leaving recovery. This method prevents the unwanted apks and libs from generating unwanted cruft during the initial boot-up process.

With these tools you can easily do what you want to accomplish and learn about the inner workings of Android in the process.

I hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
thank you very much. I will bookmark this for later.

but i JUST found out now that 4ext works way better then twrp for these phones, and is the reason awesome beats never installed. oh my god, hours wasted just because i was using the wrong recovery.

there should be a sticky in this forum that states TWRP IS NOT GOOD for these phones/roms and we should all be using the latest 4ext!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
LOL there are several threads pinned to the top of the forums here that do mention using 4ext, and most of the devs here also mention it in the dev threads for their ROMs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
oy... see how bad of a developer i would be? lol I originally used the toolkit in a sticky and that installed TWRP for the recovery after the jaunoput bear s-off mod... so I just figured that was the recovery to use.

on a good note, my "beta2" "rom" isnt giving any errors after install anymore. I replaced the apk for the playstore and apparently that included the play music app too. I just did a full format and install using 4ext... hopefully this time awesome beats actually takes and does stuff now. it installed before but it wouldnt show up in the settings/sound menu after running the terminal activation

edit-

dammit... still no way to activate awesome beats after install. not showing up in settings/sound. oh well, ill try again tomorrow
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You can also use super sense as a base if you want to. Just write my name in the credits. ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
THANK YOU sir!

I am going to try your rom outright first. All I am looking for is a FAST and 100% working rom. I don't like sense though, so maybe I will just try another shot at rom cleaner... but I think now that I am using 4ext things might actually work this time around.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
All you have to do is remove Rosie.apk. (Sense launcher) to get rid of the sense launcher. Just make sure an aftermarket launcher is in system/app. You can remove more stuff too if you want like the widgets, HTC apps, etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resinis:
Really? Thats perfect. I am downloading your Shockwave rom... now is that as up to date as super sense, or should i stick with super sense and just remove rosie.apk?

Thank you for the replies!

Perhaps you should also go back and click the thanks button for [MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4288905]EclipzeRemix[/MENTION] and the others who helped and made suggestions on the thread.

But same pass did work out into roms default browser

I don't know what to do.

I solved the situation by adding in g.co/2sv settings a application-specific password, so it worked out w/o second step.

[HTC Amaze 4G] huzefaonline:
Hi. my first post in this thread. Installed speed rom yesterday. looks and feels great and very sexy indeed :) though it hasnt been a day since i flashed speed rom, i felt that the stock kernel was draining battery fast so i moved to faux kernel to check that.

when getting my contacts in the people app using my backup vcf file, the contact loading stops at a certain percentage and then never moves ahead. it just happened for the 10th time. what could i be doing wrong?

also, the rooted apps such as root explorer, titanium backup and greeenify are not asking for root rights, why is that? they should ask for root rights to function properly no?
[HTC Amaze 4G] huzefaonline:
Guys, this rom is amazing. but i am facing terrible battery drain. what could be the reason?
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
I moved to stock kernel because of bluetooth file receiving problem.Give it a day or 2..It will settle.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
I can confirm faux kernel is the reason your battery is draining the HTC kernel is more stable even though the faux kernel has potential in terms of customizability...initially its a battery drainer until you contain it...
