Regardless of their "coined" name...or the carriers name of the phone...I still called my EVO supersonic (bad *ss name by the way) called my mt4g glacier called my evo 3d shooter and my amaze Ruby...I think they should change the HTC m7 m8 though....it's a too militaristic on my opinion...I'm buying a phone not a gun lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Lol and what if people just start calling it their m8 (mate)?

The Australians are taking over with that one

Send it to ravike14 he needs a development device. It really sucks when you have to nandroid and then flash thirty or forty builds in a night with a daily phone. Yo miss calls and texts for hours not to mention what happens if you mess up your phone.

He could really use it. Plus it would make development of the new kernel and Roms we are building for y'all.

Thanks!

True!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
My next phone will either be a newer model of the Nexus or the HTC M8.

I am disappointed with phone makers, they all need to stop playin' and release things with better features and specs instead of recycling them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
The M8 looks so cool, but I can see where the dual rear cameras are going to be an issue with after-market ROMs just like it has been for the Evo 3D. Also only 4MP seems rather weak when most high end handsets sport at least 8 and many are now getting 12 or more. I really do dig the styling though, more so than the M7 which I thought was sharp looking.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Damn I forgot about that.

Yeah I owned an Evo 3D before. They NEVER got the 3D working on custom ROMs above Sense 3.6 ICS.

I think people that don't really want a custom AOSP ROM on their phone will probably like it. HTC will surely support the phone with software updates but they will not hand over the source code for the dual cameras since it's proprietary. I might not even buy the M8 for that reason.

Android needs a major update soon. Everything has been more-or-less the same since ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
My brother owns an Evo 3D which is why I mentioned it. It's like you said, nothing newer than ICS Sense-3.6 has a fully functional 3D camera. It's sorta like the issues we have with the TI chip. My brother is still running basically a stock ROM because of it. If I were to upgrade any time soon it would be to a N5. It seems as though the LG Nexus phones have considerable developer support. There are quite a number of ROM and kernel choices for the N4 and N5. Plus the price to performance ratio for both are off the charts compared to what else is out there now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
I loved AOSP on the amaze but with the m7 I'm on sense six because in comparison AOSP feels stripped down.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Soon to switch

It still is and i really like it alot. Currently running the 10/26 evervolv build which is 4.2.2. Great rom. Once the OnePlus One is announced on Apr 23rd, i will decide to go with that, or the HTC One (M8)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
It SURE is my daily device, and will be for a long time :)

Some say it's the best in its price range, but in my opinion, it's even better than more expensive devices.

Only competition is that damned HTC One Max And One M8 which as soon as I have the money, I will buy one of those.

And still use my loyal Amaze :) Because it really is AMAZE'ing :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
M8 is definitely better than one max unless you just have to have a massive screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Tomorrow or Friday will be the last day that the amaze its my daily device.

Sadly I wouldn't give it up if Ravike and I could get the data, sound and camera working for the new roms we are getting ready to release.

The Antutu scores are thru the roof. And the phone doesn't get hot while playing games....
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Another one bites the dust...

What kind of ROMs u making?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Well, they are making me wait till tomorrow to get mine, but I wrote my name on the box. So now they have to sell it to me! Lol

Ravike and I are working on sense roms for the amaze. Just a few more things to fix and we'll have a new release..

:)

[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Congrats
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Just 'cause you "sent from" the M8 doesn't mean you like it more than the Amaze, or that it will become your DD.

I mean, you gotta have a working phone to free up more time for developing the Amaze.

P.S.--congrats.

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

Well I am currently working on a few different things.

Trying to upgrade viper to 2.0.2.

Update Ravikes black Russian

And continue porting viper 3.1.4

Then viper sense 5.

Will be ready to dust off the ol amaxe
[HTC Amaze 4G] qipengart:
Still using my Amaze with the Viper ROM. Very awesome device still..
[HTC Amaze 4G] bvzxa3:
I was selling an LG Optimus l9 to a young guy who was working and wanted to upgrade on T-Mobile. Instead of bugging his parents he researched Craiglists and bought one of my l9's In the process he whips out the HTC Amaze and I was starstruck because that had been my phone for so long. I said to him that was my baby for a long time and that once he buys the Optimus L9 he won't be able to go back because the Amaze uses a mini-sim and the L9 a micro-sim.

Alas we both agreed the battery was the biggest drawback to the phone but it's still faster than the L9. We talked more about the Amaze than the L9. It was odd seeing the stock ICS rom w/Sense 3.6 on the Amaze since I had been running the Viper ROMs wSense 4.0 since the day I got the phone and unlocked the bootloader. At times I still miss her because she was always there. Swapping roms on her was the easiest of all the phones I ever had.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zeeshanusuf:
Still going strong! It really enough to power everyday tasks, from emails to browsing and socializing. On Energy ROM, and loving it! :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:

But She's alone. Planning to buy Desire Z, so she won't be alone anymore ;)

Still is for 1 year

Hi, I am still using my amaze as daily driver, and since in canada we had 3 year contracts I am still stuck with it for 1 year (I cannot afford to change it sooner and pay the penalty fee).

I have running stock ICS. But I am currently looking to install a custom rom. Any suggestion of a stable rom for a daily driver ? I use the camera a lot, BT audio, Wifi Hotspot.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Most of the sense based roms are stable with the BT and WiFi (excluding the WIP Liberty cause Chevy it is a fairly recent addition and is still under heavy development)

If you like the stock ICS, I'd say give some of the Sense custom roms a try, find which one you like and stick with it

Referring a rom is harder than you'd think, because everybody has different preferences.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misticwarrior:
Thanks Darin_Ram, I am currently trying the Energy one. Since all the 4.4 have camera issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
You can use Speedrom 8.0 which is modified energy rom. And the flash HQ Camera 1.5. Then you can take photos with 5MB size.

And everything works fine by the way :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I still use it at my daily device. It's been 2yrs since I updated to ICS (via the official HTC/T-Mobile OTA update). However, it's gotten quite slow the past few months and I'm thinking about hard resetting and flashing a custom ROM.

I really do like the stock ROM, so I'd not want something that takes away features. I have 2 desktop docks and a car dock, so I'd need the desktop dock app. Some ROMs say they remove bloatware, but rarely do they list what they remove.

ROM wishlist:

* All stock features

* App associations/linkifydispatcher fixed (so I get dialog popup for which browser to use for example)

* Faster

* Auto mount my SD card on boot

* All HTC themes available ( and perhaps more custom themes)

* would like battery percentage in battery indicator in status bar

I currently have S-On unlocked. I don't think I need a custom kernel and I'm not sure I need S-Off otherwise.

What's the preferred recovery now? For a while it was clockwork, but I've seen binary's how-to list 4ext.

I'm currently reading through the various ROM threads to see what would best fit me, and I'd appreciate any suggestions here. Since it is my daily phone, I don't want to spend a ton of time trying out many ROMs. So far, it seems the SuperSense may be the best one available to fit my needs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Why not just run ARHD or NRG?
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I can't seem to find threads for those ROMs. Do you have links? Or are those abbreviations for ROM names? What are the benefits of those ROMs?

Edit: For others who 'derp' from time to time, here are links

ARHD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342291

NRG: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362759

ARHD does look quite good. Actually, all 3 look pretty good and similar. Any tips as to why you'd choose ARHD or Energy or Super Sense?

I'm going to put a custom recovery on. Is there any way to go direct to 4ext, or must I have a custom recovery to begin with? I was going to use binary's script to install cwm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Nrg has what I think is the coolest looking boot animation.

Nrg has good tweaks. Super sense is more updated and had similar tweaks. Arhd is pretty much stock with some tweaks.

I personally prefer 4ext. I don't know if twerp is still being updated for our device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Thanks, in short order, I'll be ready for a new ROM. Still haven't decided which way I'll go.

Being a software dev myself, I couldn't bring myself to use a script the first time. I downloaded the Android SDK and used that to flash CWM recovery. Then flashed CWM Superuser and bought and installed 4ext. At the moment, I'm just trying to rid my phone of the HTC LinkifyDispatcher mess. It's something I've wanted to do ever since I got the ICS OTA update. Just updating build.prop didn't seem to do it, nor did deleting the .apk. Currently trying a wipe cache/dalvik to see if that will finally get rid of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
NRG was my favorite. I loved the blue theme
[HTC Amaze 4G] luhpi:
Update the ROMS!!!

I Love my Amaze. Been an absolute trooper for me.

It's seen many falls, flips, spills, temperature spikes and drops...

Hell, it's been lost in a foot of snow and STILL carries on!

But I wish the Devs would update their roms... I mean, there's sooooo

many of them out there that have tons of potential but are just plain outdated.

I've used quite a few of them honestly, my Top 2 favorites being Speed Rom

and of course Fourth Bar Infusion. I absolutely LOVED those 2 for their speed

and stability. Unfortunately, they haven't been updated since, I don't know....

2012 I think! LOL!!!

Just wish I could get a fresh new version of either or to bring my old

spartan phone out of it's midlife crisis!

Anyone else agree?

PAC-man 4.4.4 weekly version (12/JULY/14)

Yes i'm still using the Amaze. My first smart phone...I think it still looks better than anything I seen to date...not sure what I'm going to do once my contract ends in a couple months...I' ve recently rooted my phone and am trying a custom rom for the first time...the one mentioned above...it is awesome...only a few problems with it currently...camera exposure sensor and system ui doesn't load initially but recovers...actually the previous weekly version of the rom (05JULY14) seemed to have less ui errors for me. I am happy with it though...its given new life to my device!

Suggest a daily driver ROM

As nowadays i don't have time to experiment

I would like to ask you guys for a daily driver ROM that doesn't eat my battery in 10 hours. thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lizzdmc:
In need of battery lovin' ROM...

I totally agree! I have tried Kit Kat with CM11, PAC-man, and Evervolv, but the battery doesn't last the day. So, I went back to ICS with SpeedRom, but it is really a pain to have an old ROM. So, back to square one. I would really love to keep my Amaze as my daily driver, but I need a good stable ROM with long battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
CM10 works for me.

I stayed with a slightly outdated ROM with exactly those reasons in mind. CM10-20131006-NIGHTLY-ruby works for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lizzdmc:
The Ruby is back!

Thanks for the tip! I installed CM10-20131006-NIGHTLY-ruby last night, and I am configuring it to my liking today. So far, so good. :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I purchased an LG G2 a few months ago and have put my Amaze aside. But I decided to revive it and use it as a music player. My LG doesn't have expandable storage, so i can't store all my music on it but I can on the Amaze. I am right now installing PAC ROM (KK 4.4.4) and my favorite music apps (XenoAmp, Pandora, Slacker, Grooveshark) and plan to use it to play my music. This has been a great phone, and I'm glad I found a way to keep using it and that I found updated ROMs for it (I was on CM 10.1.) The only thing that was a problem on this phone, and always has been, is the poor battery life. CM was better than my stock and other ICS ROMs I tried. I will see how it does on PAC. Without data that should help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lizzdmc:
Taking recommendations...

Even though my Amaze is running smoother... I may cave and upgrade to a new phone. This battery life is still killing me. :(

Any recommendations for a brand new phone? I would like it to run Kit Kat as stock, and have good battery life. Other than that, I am pretty open.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
Had this phone almost 3 years and loved them all...one thing I can suggest about battery life is always use conservative governor and in set cpu speeds won't stick unless you enable profiles...I use screen on and off...972 conservative max screen on...324 powersave screen off...and always charge whenever possible...not to mention a 4g enable disable app to turn off connections when u don't use the or everytime you turn off your screen....2x battery does this just fine...disable haptic feedback if you don't need it...disable capacitive lights in NRG tweaks or Super tweaks...set background process limit to 0 that's right none it makes tasks more smoother freeing up cpu...Disable auto sync...it really helps battery but you my get a message or two late just be sure to manually refresh your apps...I put a aftermarket 1800 nah battery in for evo 3D....it gives a solid 12 hours moderate usage and with the setttings above...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lizzdmc:
I have installed a program called MyProfiles+ (Profile Manager) from the Play Store. I set up Home and Away profiles to manage WiFi and Mobile Data respectively. I seem to be getting better battery life using this method. However, I am still only getting about 10-12 hours. I really do not know if that is good, since a friend of mine that has a new Nexus says he gets up to 3 days standby. I would love that! :D I am going to try the tweaks that you mentioned, as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CaptainKitten:
Using the Amaze now just as a backup/gaming device. My Nexus 4 has digitizer issues so I've had to go back to the Amaze for several tasks. :-/
[HTC Amaze 4G] gnibgnob:
Has anyone found a successful fix for the low in-call/speaker volume problem with CM10-20131006-NIGHTLY-ruby? I've tried various ones posted for other devices but non have worked out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I was thinking about upgrading to smething new, but the wallet is tight at the moment.. then I got a job working on electronics, mostly cellphones- after playing with every hot new phone out there, I have to say I am quite happy with my phone. Maybe the next generation of phones will be good enuf to get me to buy, but for now.. no.

The only exception might be if I can buy a broken s3 on the cheap, and fix it.. otherwise I'm sticking with my amaze.

I finally got time to look into the nexus 4.. PLEASE don't support development of devices without expandable memory! They'll only keep making phones that way if people keep BUYING them that way! Not having the ability to add another 64gb of memory is silly, as is paying such premium prices for larger amounts of built in memory..

That aside, the device doesn't seem all that bad. I will NEVER buy another device without external memory, my nexus 7 was a mistake in this regard. I'm sure the phone could be a lot better.. but it could be worse too I suppose.

Yes for now, but i'm already looking at getting something else cause the Amaze just frustrates me. It gets horrid battery life after updating to ICS for some reason (my guess is ICS doesnt play nice with Sense?). I love HTC's phones but i've never been a fan of the battery hog that is Sense. If HTC made another Nexus device i'd be all over it.
