wow... LiquidSmooth as the name implies very smooth Rom,i hope to test it imma Amaze soon.

Based on cm10.1 or AOSP???
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Test and find out x)

It's actually a whole mess of tweaks with CM's usual tweaks included
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sultanxda:
Patching the kernel to build with Linaro only takes a few minutes; I'm going to do much more than that :p

EDIT: There's no GPU or CPU overclocking?! :eek: I'm definitely adding that :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
So, looks like big things are on the horizon for us Amaze users :)

Sport is adding a whole slew of goodies to the CM10.1 kernel it looks like... and big thanks to Sultanxda...Just compiled this and it looks to be working really well

Now I just need to compile the compat-wireless modules to get wifi going... but I think I'm going to try my hand at adding overclocking and other stuff tonight just for fun
[HTC Amaze 4G] waver21:
awesome guyzzz.... I thought that it was a mistake buying amaze u guyz just made this thought wrong :P

hope u get other things right.....thanks eric nd sports nd all the other devs....!!!

K so installed this so far so good. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the Google search bar?

So i just DL that file rename to int.d and place in /system/etc folder?
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
I have faced this problem with all cm builds why is the WiFi signal so weak?
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Whoops lol wrong thread
[HTC Amaze 4G] waver21:
well thats the prob of our amaze..... my bro has htc desire x nd it has strong wifi connnectivty....sometimes when we both are using wifi at same tym he always gets higher speeeds.....even when with same dist from router :eek::eek: ...!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
If its a problem with amaze 4g then why do I get full signal in the same spot while on stock rom and get 3bars to 2bars while sitting in same spot on stock rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
CM has a different scale then stock you have same quality of connection just HTC has a lower standard for full bars
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
lets say I agree upon that. With 1 bar on stock I still can surf where as I get no bars on cm so inst the lower quality connection better then no connection?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Well you should be able to still surf with 1 bar at decent speeds (I find as long as I'm connected no matter how many bars I have I still get the same speeds). However it is sometimes difficult to get connected with low bars initially but I really haven't seen much of a difference in range of working WiFi, regardless of the bars between cm and other ROMs. Secondly do you use a case? That will affect your WiFi signal, and to overcome that just an aluminum foil inside the battery cover right over the WiFi antenna (cigarette aluminum foil works just fine) and you will get better signal regardless of what ROM you are on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've browsed easily on cm with no bars it simply a difference in sense
[HTC Amaze 4G] danyal241:
I am going try that. How is it on viper amaze? Rom thinking of maybe trying that....

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Sportsstar89 I love your work and What you are doing for this phone which HTC left to die. And just would like to thank you for your hard work. When I said no bar and 1 bar I meant I get a signal with 1 bar and by no bar meant I am not even connected to WiFi. I have an evo cloud which was attached to my laptop while I was using it and cm I got 3 bars while sitting right there at reach of a hand. I love cm and want to use it daily but the WiFi is killing me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Ahh hmm it I don't really have an answer for you sorry
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
lol i ran in to new issue. if i am on a phone call the other side voice starts breaking or dissorting. i can't hear them properly. i went back to stock, i had no issues put jellybean again i got distortion from other side. any help ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
Face unlock doesn't work. For some reason when I'm in call the phone turns dark and I can't use it until the phone call ends.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Nice ROM, has a lot of potential. It's a bit laggy at times and I get soft-reboots fairly frequently. However, I'm not complaining, I know this ROM is in Alpha, so that doesn't matter.

Keep it up :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
So if we're lucky I just might (maybe!) be posting a new and improved carbonROM ... one that's not a port :)

It's been compiling now for quite awhile using the CodeFire X GCC 4.7 Linaro patched toolchain with -O3 and strict aliasing and a bunch of other ARM optimized cflags.

Looks promising so far, hopefully it works out. Oh yeah and it will also include the latest MSM8660 kernel compiled with it from Sportsstar's repo, so all the newest enhancements.. overclocking, etc etc etc.

Pretty much all the credit to him considering I used his device tree and vendor trees... had to do quite a bit of editing to get them to mesh with Carbon but I think I finally got all the kinks worked out.

IF this works out alright, I think I'm going to try and compile CodefireX (Now known as OpenMaster) for us as well.. considering it's the fastest ROM i've used out of pretty much everything. they really have some heavy optimization going on, it's pretty amazing IMO. Not nearly as feature packed as CarbonROM.. but it's great on performance.

Well, here's to hoping this bad boy finishes compiling without issue and runs good!
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Have you looked at slimbean? With "only" 1gb ram our amaze may appreciate the lighter footprint. I have a cracked screen galaxy s 4g I run it on. It only has 512mb ram but runs it admirably.

Just got a tool chain building aosp and now you tell me I have to build a pimped up compiler :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
No you really don't, honestly. The performance increases from patched toolchains (Linaro, et al) is noticeable, but really only shines when both kernel and the rom have been compiled with the same optimizations and cflags. And even then, it's not that large. I would just stick with google's GCC 4.7 or maybe CrossfireX's toolchain. -O3 -mcpu 'cortex-a9' and -mtune -cortex-a15' (Because -mtune actually tunes the performance of the assembly code as if it was a cortex-a15 while still maintaining the instruction set of a cortex-a9 specified in -mcpu) and -O3 is your started optimizations. There's a TON of cflags to play around with, but I've just scratched the surface of the available optimizations.. I've seen build scripts that can fill an entire terminal with various optimizations, lol. Good place to read up on them I've found is here

Prebuilt toolchains are quite easy to come by, actually. I first started using Doomlord's git repo here That will net you standard GCC 4.4.3, Linaro 4.6, and google's 4.7 (basically just do a git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git) If you want to use linaro tho I'd opt for a 4.7 build, just find a git repo with a prebuilt on it, super easy. Could also try your hand with a 4.8 build but I've found that you'll run into a lot of errors. With linaro 4.7 CodefireX's version of it at least, Ive only had to apply one patch so far .. and its still compiling away, on about hour 2.5-3 now :) The patch was actually simply adding an include in in hardware/video/gralloc/pmemalloc.c and it was adding i think <linux/ioctl.h> headers in the includes, if you run into that problem.

The biggest obstacle IMO is learning git, so I would invest a lot of time into tutorials and stuff for git's operation, because once you get the hang of git and sync a large repo (CarbonDev's repo sync was 27GB took a long long time heh) you are golden, because then you can basically tell git-repo to cross-reference already downloaded stuff for other repo syncs, and it cuts the amount of stuff you download considerably...

I would start with Cyanogenmod, because you can simply just work straight from sport's github without changing much at all. I
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
So quick update..

I built this rom from source compiled with Linaro (Optiized for cortex-a8) GCC 4.7, as well as patched and built sport's newest kernel with linaro 4.7

Kernel works fine, save for a couple issues with a patch I had to make to kgsl.c to quell some build errors, causing a bit of dmesg spam..

ROM, on the other hand, will not boot.. so it's back to diving into configs, logcats, and code.. to see exactly what's going on

And a quick ***** and moan about HTC... what hte heck did they do to the wireless chipset in this thing? If you guys notice, for our wireless to work current on sport's current kernel, you have to use the compat-wireless system (which basically backports wireless drivers to older kernel versions) when there's a fully functioning linux mainline wl12xx driver... then if you look in any kernel source tree that's based from HTC sources, the mainline wl12xx driver's makefile is actually **commented out***, that's right...

So, I wanted to update our wireless drivers and firmware because they have been extensively updated on TI's OpenLink git.. so I grabbed the latest mainline wl12xx drivers in-line with our current kernel version (3.0.78), fix up the makefile... what do you know! Mainline drivers build just fine! I also grabbed the updated firmware... but alas it refuses to work. I noticed that there's some custom "HTC" branded firmware in /system/etc/firmware labled like htc_1271_blahblah, I just don't understand why the standard mainline kernel drivers do not work.

And to add insult to injury I found some firmware's with fully functioning monitor mode and all the neat tools that come with that (An android phone that can run aircrack-ng? Yes, please!) but I don't know if that will even be possible..

Basically I'm still tinkering away!
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Haven't heard anything in a few days. Hope that means you're busy tinkering! I can't wait to try this ROM once it's more stable. I'm enjoying CM10.1 but would like to try something a little different.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hanszoo:
Yea for a alpha release this is a really good ROM. Sure hope that this isn't the end of a good thing going...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Lol... U never can tell.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nulcon:
Can someone tell me why I get a black blank screen when I rebooted my phone right after installing this ROM? I waited for 20 minutes and it still stayed blank.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
Guys I dropped my HTC AMaze for like the 17th time today and the screen completely shattered...

New HTC One is on the way.... so if someone else wants to pick this up feel more than welcome. Argh
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
So what dose this mean for the so called update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
:(:(:(

That sucks bro I hate it when you drop it and it doesn't make a scratch then suddenly next drop, boom, almost like a 50 Cal shot it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Damn that sucks. I was totally looking forward to using this ROM once it got more stable. Maybe someone will take on the mantle!
[HTC Amaze 4G] 99piotrek:
after installed this rom i was in heaven...than i heard about update coming i was in 7th heaven......

so now to be honest i have to drop mine tooooooo

htc one is a great choice for me tooooooo

:(:crying::(:crying::(:crying::(:crying:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sorry man... I have a great rubber case for my phone and watched it bounce fir 30 feet. Thought it was a gonner... But it was saved by the great android God..

I'd pick it up, but I'm more of a porter..

Then again...... Maybe...

What still needs to be done?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
I think it could be made quite viable strictly porting, as it was already pretty damn solid for a striaght port as is. The main issues right now appear to be soft reboots, which I believe is a memory allocation issue (Pmem?) and perhaps due to how it was built? Not quite too sure on that one, but I'd give it a shot with Sports latest CM10.1 kernel and see how it fares on soft reboots. Then maybe replace the messaging subsystem, because I Noticed messaging brought on a majority of the soft reboots (port in the sms push agent and messaging apps from CM10.1)

It seems soft reboots are the priority, honestly. I can't find much else blisteringly wrong with it currently. It just seems to be all around optimization issues, which I thought a source build would fix.

If you're interested in trying to build it from source, I'd suggest a start with building CM10.1 for some device that's officially supported FIRST (Google a guide, follow it to the letter). If you don't have a linux box, I highly suggest VirtualBox (Free virutalization platform) and the Fedora distro. A lot of people will disagree with me here, and say ubuntu.. and if you're not familiar with Linux in general ubuntu probably is a better start simply because of the absolutely wealth of information available.... you can pretty much google any problem you have :) But I find fedora is just more stable, and it's much more suited to my tastes. You'll have to get familiar with the git system (version control) and github.. which honestly, is going to be the majority of the learning :) Sports has done the majority of the hard work, as his github has very functional device trees for the Ruby as well as the vendor files

I would just try buulding CM10.1 for a suipported device, to see how everything comes together, and then move on to building it for Ruby, and then something else. A very handy guide I've found that was extremely helpful was Paranoid Android's "Building for any device" guide which pretty much lays out what is required for basically any AOSP release to be compiled by code, but it is slightly different for every rom... but it was a very good guide.

It really does seem overwhelming at first (I know it did to me) but once you start seeing why this does that, and how this works into that, and why he's related to her... it all starting coming together, but it's still fuzzy for me so haha. But it's a LOT more clear than when I started

Honestly i wissh they would've just offered me an HTC ONE S... I would'veve been happy..... But there's no way I was going to pay $130 for a Galaxy S when it only costs me literally $100 more for an HTC ONE which is one sweet mother of a phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yeah, but it's so hard to pull the battery!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
Did you port this the typical way by replacing the usual apps,framework,and media and then some other misc stuff? There's a new version with Halo in it might try to pick it up
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Im in the process of teaching my self building from source. Have cyanogenmod building and installed. Doesnt have sports fixes. That is the next thing I have to figure out. If you post or pm your changes to carbon I am quite interested in finding a way to give back to the community. I am a unix developer by trade though these days I seem to manage projects more than than write code.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dntipwn:
If you use the Carbon source tree and add the amaze dependencies it will try to build. That may be easier then porting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mal_toofy:
So are you saying you called in your hardware insurance for the Amaze and they just offered you a ONE? My phone is also pretty beat up and i was wondering what they were offering at this time..

Really CAN'T pull the battery eh?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
And, as far as I know, you can't upgrade with an external sdcard. You buy a 32 gig and that's it..

With all the builds I have my 32 gig is maxed out plus my internal is full too. I have got to back all this up and clean up.

[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Am I the only one with rotation issues? I had this in CM 10.1 but not in viper
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
No, and no need for the double post, and maybe you don't understand that both Carbon and AOKP are using sports 10.1 CM as a base and that is why your issue is constant between them. Also Viper is a port of a totally different ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Yeah sorry sorry! And I mentioned viper because I meant that my accelerometer wasn't faulty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
There is a free fm radio app that may work called spirit fm radio. There's a thread here on xda for it.

There's also a link to it in my signature.

Bt working but it on same sec ago reboot.after boot its on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] usafmaverick:
I tried flashing this but it took a dump on my phone. I went from CM10.1 to this and after successfully wiping everything and flashing this, it loads the 'post' screen, then the boot animation, and it just stays there. I let it go for 15 minutes and it never seemed to be going anywhere. Pulled the battery, wiped cache, dalvik, boot, system. Reflashed again. Same thing. Any thoughts?

Edit: I am rooted with S-On and did flash with SmartFlash on in EXT4 Touch Recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] statsman007:
Excellent ROM .. Everything is working .. much better than CM 10 ... And faster than Viper Rom..

Thank you.. finally, I can run Google Now on HTC Amaze ...

Excellent ROM ....
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
There is a more recent build from helicopter88 on the villec2 forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Carbon latest

UM, I don't think eric is supporting this rom anymore since he broke his phone. I could pick it up if he doesn't mind....

Of course he was compiling the rom from the source I think.

If needed, I could take the update and see what I could do.

You would probably be more suited to do it though since youre working with the CM10.1 base... :wink:
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
Ok I have been away for a while I was sitting happy on Energy Rom then I came back to check this out. Loving this ROM btw. Anyways I want to flash my friends phone but I cant remember what kernel I was on and or if this ROM package rewrote it or doesn't have one. In essence I want to know if http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359951 kernel will work with this ROM or if it even matters?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Kernel

This is jellybean.... ICS and GB Kernels wont work for this software....
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
Yea but cant seem to find a JB Kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
JB Kernel

It's in this rom (the Boot.img).

There's one called "ION" But I don't know what the progress is on it or if it's available yet.

The Kernel provided in the rom is the best one to use for it at this time.

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
ok tyvm:good:

SO it flashes the kernel when installing the rom then is my understanding
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
are you s-off? if not be sure to turn on smart flash in 4EXT
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

Yes, but follow ZPackRat said above!

Thx. Yea I S-Off long time ago pain in butt wire trick. Just lost my bearing been away so long. Using Unicorn Port pretty nice and stable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I hope one of you guys picks this up. I was really excited about this ROM as an alternative JB 4.2.2 to CM10.1. I love CM10.1 but would love different alternatives to try. The AOKP is one I may try soon. It's great to see that there is still interest and development for this phone out there. It really is a a great device.

I think Jeepers007 has it in the works.. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] S1D3winder016:
I really like this ROM. The ONLY problem I have with this ROM is, I watch a lot of videos and it gives me this stupid sorry, video can't be played error? Any fix for that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Mx player is a pretty good alternative video player
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
For that you need to install a third party video player like mx or es file explorer (they have a built in video player).
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Exactly. I think Google basically puts little effort Into anything that they believe someone else will do better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PHAROSngm:
You really should be using MX or Mobo player, the Google versions of most apps are pretty lame so its best to find a good alternative.

Those are the two I use most often though I am sure there are more.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devaspora:
Bad news bears, I am getting a com.android.phone force close so the ROM is unusable for me. Anyone else have the same issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Not really. But it sounds like a bad download of the ROM or a bad flash. Try re downloading.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devaspora:
Odd, because I just tried installing the new MIUI rom and same thing is happening...
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
OK it seems like your phone is having trouble selecting a network. It's not ROM related I think.

Thank you thank you (sorry if this topic is not ok I don't know where else to ask)

[General Topics] r1kde:
depends what you are looking for, for example I had a battery for my XDA 1 though it took that long to get to me by the time I recieved it I had got my XDA 2, though I have to say its in very good con, and I am one selling it on ebay.

so to your answer is yes and no, just depends who is selling it as the only let down is waiting for it.

Hi All,

I am considering unlocking and rooting my ONE.

Obviously there appears to be a plethora of kernels and roms to choose from.

Would really appreciate some feedback on what people regard as their choice (i.e. most stable, best for battery life / cutting wakelocks etc)

Many thanks

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmsq:
Hi All,

I'm wondering with all these new phones receiving more bloat ware from Manufacturers, the data partition is getting smaller and smaller. I know Sony XZ is a lot less than most unlike Samsung GS4.

So my general question for people is, how likely would it me to re-partition the XZ system to decrease for people that have un-bloated their phones or for those that use CM.

Currently running CM 10.1 where the System partition is using 2GB but i'm only using 24.3% f that, however I would love to at least reclaim back 1GB to my data partition.

Any ideas?
