Hi desi :laugh: , I would like to share here my opinion (i hope you appreciate it):

In the last few weeks I've tried several ICS roms with sense 3.6 for desire HD, including Smartdroid Phoenix. Coming from gb with sense 3.5, the difference of htc sense isn't really big, but the new functions of ICS are appreciable. Except for minor bugs, roms with sense 3.6, are all usable as daily drivers, and this is a good point. :)

HOWEVER, they all have a huge problem: BATTERY LIFE! I tried every kernel available for ICS with htc sense (virtuous, pacha, beastmod), I recalibrated many times the battery, and I also tried to use an OC app to undervolt the cpu... But the battery lasts a half of what lasted me with gb... I must say that I really prefer ICS to GB (who doesn't?! xD), but the battery is for me a very important problem, so finally I had to revert to my backup of Smartdroid Reloaded with pachaRX kernel, that for me is still the best kernel+rom combination for DHD, and has an average battery life of 2 days with a standard usage (do you remember my kernel comparison?)... :p

The roms themselves are pretty awesome and really smooth, but ICS lacks of good kernel imho (mainly because of the absence of an official htc kernel to start with)... So developers should focus primarily on the kernel for now (that is also the cause of some issues - correct me if I'm wrong). :confused:

This is obviously a

personal opinion

, that depends on the use you make on the phone. It probably depends on my previous experience, cause with gb I reached a battery life that was really better than any stock or custom rom (without lose of performance). ICS roms instead have a battery life that can be paragonated to the stock one, so maybe other users, coming from stock, won't care about it... :)

For now I will remain with my excellent Smartdroid reloaded rom (i have it since june), waiting for a further development, but if there is anything I can do to help development I would be really glad to help! :laugh:

Most important, this post doesn't want to be a criticism to the excellent work you and other teams are doing. It's intended to be a motivation to improve more and more. So guys, keep up the good work! ;)

Hi ricc@rd,

thanks for your as always valuable feedback bro :good: of-course I remember you from reloaded thread your kernel comparison was very valuable

and have helped a lot of users to make a better informed decision when it came to picking the best kernel for reloaded :good:

I agree with your opinion on the lack of development in the kernel department and agree if our kernel devs put their efforts to get a better and more functional kernel a lots of problems will be sorted,

on regard of battery life as we and every one else is aware it is 80% dependent upon individual use, but for some pleasantly strange reasons I have much better battery use out of phoenix than I had on reloaded and my use of the phone hasn't changed for the better :) but has increased marginally as I'm getting more emails and tapatalk notifications than ever before

PLus phoenix is giving me better antutu benchmark result than reloaded and that is without trying to fool antutu to hike the results :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
@ ricc@rd

I have noticed with the beastmod kernel, on-demand doesn't work the way it should and makes the phone laggy and uses more power. When I switch to smartassv2 the battery life is much better. Still not like stock, but better, and phone is less laggy. Also 17.14.11 radio improves battery on my device. With that radio and smartassv2 I can get a reasonable battery life. Just thought I would share what I have figured out on my end as maybe it will help. Not sure though if the other kernels you mentioned have the same issue with on-demand.
[Desire HD Android Development] ricc@rd:
I use your same radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M and the governor I set for the undervolt was SmartassV2.

I agree that they are probably the best combination ;)

But even with that my battery life was not like in GB...
[Desire HD Android Development] disiz:
Thanks desi :) I've wrote the posts, that's why I've see your Rom is XL base and with wifi hotspot working that I'm looking for :D With some roms I had USB issues to, so never mind, but no tweaks isn't cool. I guess blakckout tweaks or others won't work because your the only one with the good XL base ! :)

I'm gonna try your rom for now, because sense 4 on DHD isn't smooth, and I'm gonna see if quicksettings or others will miss me :)
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
@disiz lol mate give it a go and see if its to your liking USB problem can be overcome with provided airdroid app or any third party USB mount app hope it will fullfill your needs and welcome to our user friendly thread

[Desire HD Android Development] overjoy71:
@desi, Bro, you are such a nice guy! Lol. You know what? I backed up the my phoenix rom to test venom's stuff for him but I can go back. The backup is stuffed up! I have to start again. :mad:

sent from DHD Rom created by geniuses @ XDA!
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
you can still salvage your data partition just start fresh with wiping and formatting everything flash the rom and don't reboot go in to advance restore in recovery and restore your data only should work I hope LOL, just finished doing SmatDroid Tweaks for venom and now I'll start giving some tlc to phoenix
[Desire HD Android Development] ricc@rd:
You're great devs!! With smartdroid tweaks this rom is going to become the best ICS with sense 3.6 rom for DHD, exactly like reloaded was for GB :D

Then we will just need some kernel development to fix a few bugs :) :)
[Desire HD Android Development] wilken:
Any news about bug fixes and new release?

i loved the Boot animation, could i have a flashable zip of this?

Waiting for testing the next version. Thanks for the ROM!
[Desire HD Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I would post this in the reloaded thread but memnoc locked it

1.6.22 lts was so fast and stable I left it on my girlfriends phone for about a month. I had to ditch it because after a month it became progressively slower and some bugs started cropping up. Clearing the caches didn't help. Is there a trick to keeping a ROM running smoothly for a long time?
[Desire HD Android Development] ricc@rd:
I have it since june and it still goes smooth like charm after more than 4 months...

Maybe your problem is caused by some applications you installed on the phone
[Desire HD Android Development] overjoy71:
Also have a look at the background processes. As time goes by, more applications are doing the online sync in the background.

Also use a betterbatterystat to check out what is grinding away in the backend, there may be some processes that needs to be clean up. But I ran the rom for ages until Desi release Phoenix and it was so smooth.
[Desire HD Android Development] sharavan21:
Waiting patiently even though it's been 20 days since you posted the above message ... I am running this rom for almost 17 days now and only issue according to my usage is the USB mode :)

Thanks for this beautiful and speedy ROM :)

BTW , your signature says Android 4.0.4 , but the OP says Android 4.0.3 in the title ... Confused :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
I haven't been able to work on the rom due to heavy work load so apologies for that as my user's are aware I will only release an update if and when I'm happy with it at the moment I'm not happy with wifi as its giving me few problems and in my opinion a USB-MODE bug can be over come with either airdroid app or any usb mount third party app free from play store on the other if wifi is not 100% then no point releasing an update only for users to face even bigger BUG.

regarding the signature that's for the update version which is based on ICS 4.0.4

hope you are a little less confused now or shall I say UN-:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] sharavan21:
Clear as a Crystal now :)

Thanks for the clarification desidunda :good:

Good luck in ironing out those WiFi bugs in the new version ... Take your time :fingers-crossed:
[Desire HD Android Development] ricc@rd:
Hi desi, is there any news on this rom?? How is development going? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] akshhae:
Is there any bug tracker where one can find the complete list of Bugs and can report if some more are there.
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
All the known issues and their work around is in the second post have a read and if its not mentioned in there post away and we see if we can create it and find a solution
[Desire HD Android Development] akshhae:
Hi Today you have changed something in the Thread, have you posted an updated ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] the_unlocker1997:
I would really like to have ultrasmooth Rosie I know you said you think the Rom is smooth enough but I would still like to have it:)
[Desire HD Android Development] disiz:
+1 the_unlocker1997, good point to make rom much smoother :)

Any update desi to correct minors bugs soon, or you prefer stay on GB rom with sense 3.5 that you relive ? :laugh:
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
I'll do an update after Xmas :fingers-crossed: as I'm extremely busy at work
[Desire HD Android Development] disiz:
OK thanks for this news, don't worry we're all busy this time, 2013 will start well then :good:
[Desire HD Android Development] disiz:
Hello desi, still planing working on this one ? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] overjoy71:
Yup, spoken to Desi a couple of days ago and the answer is there will be an update coming up soon with working usb. :victory:
[Desire HD Android Development] disiz:
Wow, sounds good ! :) Can't wait for this with hotspot wifi, DHD is still my daily phone, really waiting for this update :laugh:
[Desire HD Android Development] desidunda:
Sure buddy just been too busy with work will keep working for my dhd pals as long as its required. Hopefully work will get back to normal in the next weel or two and I'll bring out an update afyer that
[HTC One X+] ibanezq:
Is the same like X?
[HTC One X+] shree.cse:
Only the weight varies by 5gms. Nothing difference in size
[HTC One X+] Dave Trouser:
Not true - the X+ is thinner. Read the spec again.
[HTC One X+] msk:
according to the website for the One X+ for at&t, its thicker than the one xl http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one-x-plus-att/

One X+ (at&t) 134.8 x 69.9 x 8.99 mm

One XL (at&t) 134.87 x 69.9 x 8.89mm

One X (int'l) 134.36 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm

[HTC One X+] Schumi 01:
So i presume, most of the cases for the One X will fit the One X+ ?

If so that is great news.
[HTC One X+] WA_Bob:
Should be close, but probably depends on the case. It looks like exiting One X/ XL cases will fit somewhat more snugly and, depending on how rigid a case it is, it may be too snug to fit. I guess there's just one way to find out for sure.
[HTC One X+] Schumi 01:
Thanks, it will be touch and go i think, like you said the only way to find out and that would be to buy a case.
[HTC One X+] Harkadenn:
I hope it's not much of a difference since I got the Extended Mugen Battery case 3200mAh not to long ago...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Hello,

So I have 3 Samsung Galaxy S 3's and two of them are for Verizon and one for T-mobile... I have had nothing but issues with one of my Verizon models and my T-mobile is no better... So I sent it in to Samsung for repair and I noted that I had several different problems, such as screen flickering, home button sticking, power button falling off and random reboots. They received my phone yesterday and now today they claim that it is fixed and it says this in my notes " SOLUTION: Replaced Component - Replaced Cosmetic" and now they are sending it back, which is a great turnaround time but no one can tell me what they actually replaced or repaired??? I have made 4 calls and not one person can tell me what was done to the phone. I used to work for Nextel (before Sprint scooped em up) and I was a lead technician for them and whenever we repaired a phone or replaced a phone we always wrote down EXACTLY what was done and what parts were used to complete the task. I am going through some of the same issues with one of my Verizon units as well and keep getting garbage ass refurbs that solve one problem but add another... I am not trying to nitpick but I paid FULL price for ALL of my phones so that I could keep unlimited and I am going crazy cause I don't want another defective phone from Samsung... What do you guys think was done or what do they usually do (refurbish them)?? I am just hating Samsung right now so I had to vent and get some comments and opinions.... This is my first experience with sending ANY product in for warranty work as I usually have a local authorized facility close to me or Verizon has just kept on sending me there good ol "Certified Like-new refurbs" that they claim to go through a 100 point inspection check.... LMAO! Ya okay.... Then why is it that I have already received 2 bad refurbs from them if they are so "Certified"... It's too bad cause I just want a working S3 in my hands. :crying::fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CoderCR:
I honestly have no problems with my phone. I've heard some people complain about issues. But three phones with two replacements all having issues. I have to wonder if you are even for real.

That been said. It beats the hell out of me what Samsung would do. How you get it resolved. Personally I love my sgs3. And most IPhone owners who try it are wowed by it. Especially now with iOS6.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Well why would I sit here and write up a story cause I feel like trolling about phones on xda.... I have been a member since 2008 and have had about 100 phones since then... So no, I am not making these issues up. In fact there are several threads about refurbs from Verizon and some people are on their 4th or 5th refurb.... I do have one of my 3 that works FLAWLESSLY but I have had bad luck on the other two.... I love the S3 and would NEVER go back to IOS but I am just tired of getting defective replacements.... I am just looking to see what others have been through with Samsung repairing their phones.... I see your an old timer too! Damn 2006.... I don't ever think I have seen someone who has been a member since 2006 but with only 10 posts... I have to wonder if you are for real?? ;) lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
iPhone comment wasn't need it, and since you bring it up apple has the best customer service, iOS is not my cup of tea anymore but apple customer service with my experience is the best, they had replaced my iPod right at the apple store no questions asked

Dude that sucks you got defective devices and it sucks the technicians can't tell you what was changed in my experience with Sony they have noted out sometimes what was wrong but not all the time, HP let's you know what was changed which is great (they have a website) i haven't deal with Samsung before but if their like HTC they will probably sent you reburshed unit, that been said I have never had problems with those units work like new to me, and never had any physical damage, good luck to you and hopefully just like Samsung is getting better at releasing phones they can fix their tech department as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sn0warmy:
So you've gone through 100 phones in 5 years, averaging about 2 new phones a month?

Yeah, you clearly don't make things up...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Ill just close the damn thread if you guys have nothing better to do than question me... When I said I have had about a hundred phones that is being a lil far fetched and you should get the point.... My God!! If you have nothing to say about ANY experience you have had than just keep your keyboard from typing please.... But yes I have had quite a few phones but not 100.... come on dude!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Dont worry whit what has been changed or not just hope that they work out fine ;) btw my power button is feeling weird now that i press it... its like if it has gone deeper inside the bezel hope i wont need to go thru replacement aswell...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Ya I guess I am just a lil paranoid cause of my bad luck lately but I will just cross my fingers that I have a good working phone.... :) The power buttons are terrible on these phones it seems... They are firm once you get them then they slowly start to get REALLY loose and one of mine got to the point where it actually popped out... It is about the size of a grain of rice and I have yet to find it... LOL For the most part I don't regret any of my purchases I just think someone has to get the lemons and it might as well be me right....:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
They give a more detailed note on what they replaced in the receipt you get when the phone is returned to you, granted it's not much detail, but yeah.

And if it returns and it's still messed up, go to Verizon and T-Mobile and demand to see the manager, tell them the situation and asked them what they could do.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Sounds like a good idea! Some of the problems were intermittent so I find it hard for them to just see it for 30 minutes and ship it back out unless they just replaced everything except the main board...? I will just wait and see... Glad someone could chime in who has had experience with Samsung repairs cause that's what I was looking for was to see if Samsung did a good job for others... Thanks for the feedback!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
Yeah, actually got my Galaxy S II and Nexus S serviced not too long ago.

The NS took about 3 weeks to get back to me, from the time I sent it in the to the time I got it back.

Everything was in great working condition, and I believe they replaced a lot of the phone.

The original problem was my lock button didn't work anymore.

I only realized they replaced more than just the lock button because my screen looked brand new as well as the outer part, there were no scratches or dents, when I had a few on it before.

My Galaxy S II took about 5-7 days to get back to me from the time I sent it in to the time I got it back.

I did request for the repair to be expedited as it was a gift for my girlfriend and needed it before a certain day.

They did a great job at helping me and getting my request through.

But I'll give you this, they are horrible at knowing what's going on with the phone, their status updates are pretty lame.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shojus:
Thanks for the info! And Yes, I probably am holding it wrong! LOL
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toukhang:
Did you contact the carrier first? Whenever I have issues inside warranty t mobile sends me a new phone then I send them my old one. No waiting for repairs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ben503:
This is what I did for my wife's sgs3. Getting the replacement this Friday. Her phone had static when playing music
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djpingpong:
Don't try going to a T-Mobile store to get a phone replaced if it is passed 30 days in California or 14 in other states. I've been a T-Mo rep for many years and I could think of maybe 2 situations in 5 years where I have seen someone get a new phone replaced after 30 days in store (This is from experience working 4 districts in SoCal/LA area and 1 in Norcal).

I wish you luck with the Samsung repairs though. Hopefully they actually did more than little cosmetic repairs to your phone and actually fixed it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deviusdragger:
maybe they saw the bezel hitting the button causing the home button to not function properly. That sucks that you had to send them directly to samsung, i love my tmo plan with insurance! Any problems, and the next day i have a new phone. And before people start crying that they are refurbished, i really could care less, as long as it works like it should im happy.

This sort of thread never turns out well. Closed before it turns into a flame war of sorts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragnarkov:
I'more just looking for confirmation about my expectations. I know that with stock Samsung ui (and therefore touchwiz based) the phone has automatic settings that get triggered when you set your phone in one of these docks (clock style for desk, gps navy for car). I was curious as to if those features are touchwiz specific, like the 'features' of the spen, or if thoae same features got included with some of the aftermarket roms as well.

If not (which is the answer I'm expecting), then I'm wondering what docks people might suggest as an alternate. The whole idea of the dock plugging into the usb and removing the need to plug audio directly into the top headphone jack is nice, but they are some of the more expensive docks out there.

But I already use my phones gps more than my standalone unit, so a dock with extra features outside of simply holding the phone would be a huge plus.

This phone has changed the way I view cellphones, and I find I use it everywhere. Making it easier to use just seems the way to go.
