idk why, but i barely get 10 hours on my amaze. I think i'm a really heavy user but idk. I think ics is snappier i'm just a little disappointed with the 3.6 look. I downloaded energy and installed nova. i'm happy enough to delete rosie from the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yes if you have ics.

I've got stock the way I like it, no need for another ROM. MrMako777 helped me realize on GB that stock was better than the rest. The last month I was on GB, I ran stock also. Until we get AOSP, CM9, or any 4.0.4, I will most likely stay stock.

I try new ones only if helping test or helping a 4ext compatibility issue :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Oh I see, I'm on the ics leak, left all the bloatware and HTC sense stuff on it. I'm way too lazy to remove it

Running nova launcher. That's it
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Put down Nova and get Apex and thank me later. :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
how did he convince you that Stock is better, if anything Stock is the most battery hungry space hogging battery draining beast!......mabey a little less for ICS but still
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
well yeah, if you compare stock to custom roms right out the box. i always debloat the stock rom and get the same performance as custom, but its typically more stable. besides, the roms we have now are really just modified stock roms anyways, not anything unique like cm9 or miui. just my .02
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
.02 + .02 = .04 :D

And when you're as heavy as a user as I am, NO ROM has good battery life. :-) that's why I strategically place chargers everywhere.

I mean, what custom modified stock rom is better than a stable, stock rom that is modified to my own specific vikings? It doesn't make sense to use another ROM, only to set it up identical to what I have now. I used to dip into 3.5 a lot, but that was different than my stock 3.0 so I had a reason then.

And I used Energy ROM for so long, idk if I even like the color blue any more :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I didn't really see a difference. Besides not being able to use widgets with apex O.o and nova being smoother when sliding through home screens.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I use widgets just fine. You're speaking of trebuchet launcher maybe? Not to mention, nova has those extra softkeys. That's for phones without softkeys usually. Just my opinion

[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
For anyone who says that ics is snappier and quicker, I left one of my amazes on GB and upgraded on the other one, both modified (debloated) roms and the ics is definitely smoother, certain apps (root explorer is most noticeable) scroll smoother, load quicker, there's a major improvement in all aspects. My reception is better too, but that seems to be one of the more inconsistent features with people switching. I have a unique perspective on it since I have both to compare with.

And I'm with glacierguy and mako, stock roms are solid. I debloated them both (GB and ICS) and they last a long time. Not knocking any of the devs out there, but stock does it perfect and smooth. You just have to know what to debloat :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Twice as good as stock GB ROM, which always sucked for me on this phone. EDIT. I have not tried the Speedy ROM. I like NRG.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Megabunny:
Asus TF101 - ICS

I personally love it, smooth and stable (it was pretty bumpy after the first release, but one update later and we were smooth sailing)

its only a little change on Tablets (yes the behind the scenes is very different, but front end is very similar)

everything I need is properly integrated, Google voice commands rock! Tethering to my phone is a snap. internet is slick.

all in all I'm very impressed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I am loving the phone more but I was expecting more, Sense 3.6 seems the same as 3.0. It's smoother and faster, and better battery life I'll give it that. Started using HD Rom Senseless and I am not use to not having the Sense theme lol I might go back ;p

Question though and maybe somehow could fill me in on this. I use to use Energy Rom GB, and when ever I go out of the lock screen, the Weather widget would do a little show for me and depending on what the weather was, there would be a cloud animation or rain or sunshine, was that only on GB Energy Rom (don't remember if stock GB did it) or was that featured removed from ICS Sense 3.6? I was quite fond of that lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
I absolutely HATED sense back with my hd2, (starting with the original wm 6.5 and later android), same with my nexus one. But, for some reason with the amaze, i don't mind as much. I think i hated it cause it slowed down the phone. Im kinda getting used to it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cybertang:
agreed the reception took a serious hit plus noticed that the wifi D/C on its own randomly

plus camera is still crappy and grainy at night

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

battery is horrible even with a extended battery but a good feature is the ability to disable the bloatware for the most part through the application management screen in the settings,

But all in all it is much smoother and cleaner interface especially if you use the launcher for the xperia that really is a pretty ui
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
im loving it, speed is great and everything. still on stock :)

only thing i hate is.. dsp wont work, and the web browser doesnt have the pinch to zoom out and look at your tabs thing anymore. that was my favorite feature of the sense browser in 3.0 and now its gone? wtf

on the side note wifi is so much better with ics, apps work better, everything works better
[HTC Amaze 4G] Accophox:
I love ICS. I hate Sense. That still hasn't changed. As soon as it becomes viable, I'm switching to CM9 or another AOSP ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xMoore:
Everything good here, besides I think my battery has an issue it turns off randomly and hasa grey battery icon with a "!" in the middle of it...

[HTC Amaze 4G] Karmavore:
You know... you can disable bloatware in Applications, just uninstall their updates first.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Not all widgets. I was all ready to use Apex, up until I found out the HTC native apps don't work with it. I love my music widget. You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands... Anyhow, Sense 3.6 isn't that bad.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
Well on the plus side, performance is definitely up and I prefer the style over GB. However, i've ran into these problems will ICS ROMs i've tried so far...

-Weak signal

-WiFi cuts out signal when turned on

-Cant turn off text prediction (option is greyed out)

-Battery life seems slightly worse
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've gotten a better signal

WiFi acts the same as it did on GB

I agree with text predictions... Amaze can NOT read my mind

Battery on this phone sucks no matter what. It's display gobbles it down like a fat kid eats cake. It seems worse because you're on your awesome iced out phone more than u were on GB :). Try wiping battery stats... And before any of you noobs tell me that battery stats wiping is a myth, go kick rocks and keep your parroting comments to yourself because it works :P

[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
My wifi is actually working a lot better. With gingerbread, if i had wifi turned on and walked into my place. It will NOT log on to a wifi network unless i turn the screen on and go into wifi settings. (was annoying)
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
Honestly, i've been so frustrated with this phone that i've been using it less. The other day I was contemplating going to the Galaxy Nexus because of how crappy ICS on the Amaze is. So what you're telling me is that there is no way to turn off text prediction???
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
I think that one of the best parts of ICS is the fact that you can disable any app including bloatwear just go into app management uninstall the updates then go back into said app and hit disable it disapears from your app list and can be brought back by just manually updating from the market. Just remember that this is a leak and is not a finished ROM there are still issues like being able to pull down the notification bar on the lock screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hurrpancakes:
I love it. I love how fast everything is compared to GB (scrolling, performance, etc)

I love how unified everything is, and that good developers are making an effort to follow along for ICS.

ICS is the first stock Android that I find pleasing to look at.

I just know that the next Android device I purchase will not be anything below Android 4.0

Currently running Speed 2.3.1
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
Here's something I found with ICS. If you long press a recent app in the ICS multitasking pane, a menu pops up showing "Remove from List" and "App info"

[HTC Amaze 4G] Headshots4life:
I'm pretty happy with ICS, I do prefer the old look and feel of sense but what we got with the update isn't too bad. I love how the phone is faster and the battery has been amazing (no pun intended).

We could do that on GB .... make folders by holding down on an empty part of the screen and with the menu pops up.... click "folders"
[HTC Amaze 4G] Daviddc1144:
is there a newer ICS around?? someone in another thread said there was...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kisoon:
ICS is awesome. Insane battery life. Only draw back is the constant updates for the custom roms. Its time consuming when one needs to do updates for 3 phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] phlattstv:
Agreed! I have a HOX, HOS, and Amaze. THe process of updating ROMs is draining.... :-/
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I've noticed really good battery life while on WiFi with WiFi calling enabled. On 4G, I've noticed quite a big jump in battery use. I think it's due to the missing "Enable Always-On Mobile Data" switch in ICS, that was present in GB that I had unchecked. I have to leave my phone in my car during work, and in an area that has full strong 4G coverage, on GB my phone would drop about 10% during my 9hr work day. Now, the battery drops ~35-40% for the same 9hr period while the phone is in the exact parking space as before. On WiFi (with cell radio disabled), over an 8hr period, I dropped 2%.
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
Battery life still sucks for me..
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
For me it depends on the app. spotify totally does that but a few of my apps won't. (I think one of them was radio.com?) I will have to pay more attention.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
GB All the way I'm using engery rom. Not feeling the whole ICS look just my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vmartinez39:
ICS.....

I've got used to it

The MAPS apps has a different voice on navigation.

I hate it. Actually its Sense. Actually being too hard on this ICS Rom. Reliability, its been solid. Actually its been so long since I used a Sense ROM that that other night when I was adding a person to my phone book, I actually was schooled on how to add the contact. Its just so different. I wonder if its really ICS or just the Sense version.

I'll get over it eventually. Last phone GS2, hated it. Then got used to it because it is reliable. And thats what this phone is. Reliable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skyracer53:
loving everything so far, kinda wish we were given sense 4 though. nonetheless ics is great.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BigDnm01:
While I generally like the ICS, there is one thing I really hate. The "App Associations" When I open a link from my feeds or email, it would send me to a specific browser. I hate that. I use multiple browsers for different content, it's just the way I had it. When I want to open a specific links, I choose one, Dolphin, while Firefox, Internet browser and Skyfire, I use for something else. I like that option where when I click on link, It gives me an option of which browser to use.

I wanted that back. but it seems this is due to a lawsuit or something.

I found a link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675717

but I don't know if I need root access to do it. haven't gotten a response.

If I do, how do I root ICS?
[HTC Amaze 4G] vmartinez39:
You know what, I take it back, I hate ICS!!!!

Just updated my GS2 to ICS Stock and I guess its not Sense, its ICS.

Its just the feel, the look, the whole thing overall. I'm too hung over on Gingerbread AOSP and have a bias on anything that doesn't look like AOSP

Again I blame myself for not fully adopting CM9 earlier. I have devices that support ICS, but are buggy.

Its slowly growing on me. Sense and ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Just use hasoon's all in one toolkit.

That's what I did and it was easier than...boiling water.

There's a thread for everything you need to know about ICS and also another one that's for the Bible/Guide.

A couple of the guys have it as their signature. And actually I think I'll get it too.

Anyway just do a search for it and if you need some help PM me.

No OC, all stock "default" profile, with the only changed option being the charging mode (but this should be irrelevent as I havent actually plugged the phone into anything yet...)..

I have had this modem since this was posted, and what a difference so far!!

I have not been out and about much, but on the journey home from work, for which I usually have 4 bars of signal, I had 5 constantly, never went lower...

Also, the phone is not as warm, and it may be a little early to tell - but the battery life appears a tad better too!!
