[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Before I go flashing this I'd like to know why I need attain S-off for my T-Mobile US Amaze prior to flashing? I have no problems with S-on and the current Energy ROM I'm using. And I've tried at least a half-dozen ROMs here with out needing to do so.

I ask this because I'm leary of toggling off this protective feature. If you look around this and other HTC forums, one quickly notices that it's those who have s-offed their devices that are bricking them or experiencing low-level file system corruption. You never hear of someone who's s-on with these issues.

In my line of work having a working phone with text and data up and running 24-7 is a prime imperative. Since this is my only communication device I can't afford to play risky games with it.

I'm perfectly capable of pushing a kernel update or other files via adb if I need to, and would prefer doing so if it means retaining the extra protection s-off affords me. So please explain why it's mandatory to S-off before trying this ROM.

TIA and keep up the good work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You don't need S-OFF, actually.

If I left the requirement of having S-OFF is mandatory for the ROM in the OP, sorry, I need to change it, it's been quite a while.

You actually don't need S-OFF for T-Mobile branded Amazes, that's actually only for unbranded Amazes because they didn't get an ICS update, and needed S-OFF in order to flash it in the bootloader. S-ON T-Mobile Amazes can flash this perfectly fine, either with ADB's Fastboot, or with 4EXT''s smartflash.

Before trying a new ROM, I usually make a NANDROID backup in 4EXT, so just in case the new ROM I'm about to try farts in my face, or if I don't like it, I could just go back to my old daily driver.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks for clarifying and a quick reply. I just assumed when you mentioned a few posts back that you had cleaned up the OP that this remained because of some important issue. BTW, I always back-up with a nandroid and back up data and apps in both Titanium, and ROMtoolbox before flashing. Anyone who doesn't do so is foolish. I also make periodic backups every 3 days. (One never knows with these devices when a crash can render them unbootable and extra protection never hurt anyone.)

How does this ROM compare to some of your other themed ROMs? Would you consider this to be your most stable and fully functioning? If not, which of your others would you recommend for someone like myself who needs mission critical 24-7 connectivity for work? TIA

Edit: [MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] what's going on with your file host? I've tried selecting from 4 different mirrors and every time the file starts my phone alerts me that I'm downloading an "unsupported file type." A check shows that somehow the .zip file has become a .bin. However downloading to my laptop from the very same mirrors it downloads as a .zip.... very strange...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION]

Yeah this one is definitely most stable and fully functioning. The others I made when I first started developing. I would use this one but if you wanted something like EnergyROM, but Red, try FireROM. (That is pretty much the Red Energy ROM lol). I believe that pretty much everything functions correctly. It even has more features in the Aroma installer, but I decided to cut-down on them in this build because they were packed with extra apps. You can find FireROM a page back in the development section. I used it as a daily driver for quite a while. Just remember to backup before trying it!

EDIT: Here's a link! for FireROM.

As for the file-host, I'll make a mirror to dev-host since it might be a bit slow. Androidfilehost is pretty darn fast, but when it's slow, it's quite sluggish. Even when it's slow, I'd pick it over goo.im ANY DAY. I don't know what the heck happened to Goo.im but that speed was comparable to dial-up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm not having any problem with the D/L speed of your host, that seems to be fine. I just find it weird that when I try to D/L from my phone the name of the file is ".bin" that's it just ".bin", but when I tried from my Laptop (running Gentoo Linux) the file name is "Super Sense 4.0.1192013.zip". I find this to be a rather strange behavior and wonder if either (I'm D/Ling with both simultaneously as we speak) will cause an issue when I checksum hash when they're finished.

Edit: I guess I spoke too soon. Both cut off downloading before finishing. The attempt on my phone was just 398MB, and with my laptop 179MB. Well time to try again. If at first you don't succeed.... lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah it definitely shouldn't be a .bin file, clearly it got corrupt. I always recommend downloading from a PC, it just works better. I guess this filehost doesn't like downloading on an Amaze.

Always make sure it says "download successful", it might stick at 100%, but that's misleading since it's not fully done! :cyclops:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Well after several ties I got it downloaded and installed. Very nice ROM. My first impressions are very positive. Looks polished from the installer to the GUI. Very smooth. It's a very solid stock ROM. I could recommend this without reservations. I'm going to take it for a spin and put it through the wringer for a few days. Thanks!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Thanks for the feedback! Play around with it and let me know what you think! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] koolman1993:
Are extra Quick settings available?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Extra Quick settings have been here since forever, bro. :cool: There's a wide variety to choose from, just like the quick settings in nrg, viper, etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cdub2499:
for whatever reason mine just hangs on the boot screen after it does the reboot. Any Ideas? I did the format all partitions, wipe cache etc along with the full wipe. please help
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
There can only be three causes to this

1. You flashed from gingerbread. (You must do the update for ics first).

2. Boot.img was not flashed. (If you are on s-on, then enable smartflash on 4ext recovery and if you have s-off then you wont have this issue)

3. Corrupted File(when you downloaded the file check md5 to confirm if it matches with the md5 on the download.
[HTC Amaze 4G] beeson76:
I am asking the ultimate bad question:) Sorry I tried finding the answers and I just couldnt.

Does the rom have any major flaws that would prevent it from being used for a daily driver. I have used Energy and one other rom, and they have both eventually majorly crashed on me. The latest was Energy Rom and it all started happening when the Battery went dead and I tried to turn it back on. I eventually started popping up with errors right after another and eventually got stuck on the bootup screen. I completely lost everything about a month into using it.

Does this Rom have bluetooth problems. I use a bluetooth headset in the car, and I desperately need that to work. And what about Wifi calling. My service at work is horrible and I have to use it to make calls.

Thanks for the help. And thank Superafnan for working on the Amaze still:):)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I used this ROM over the holiday weekend. Bluetooth worked for me. It had no problems pairing with my headset.

Now as to the energy ROM issue. Did you install any other tweaks? Some of them I've seen posted here I know I won't install because they disable or modify the amount of journaling on the ext4 partitions. My Linux experience tells me this is never a good idea. Whatever tiny bit of performance gained or battery life saved, is outweighed by the possibility of data corruption due to an improper shutdown. Also, if you read through the forums you'll find there are issues associated with the faux123 kernel and file corruption if the battery is allowed to run down too low.

I hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] beeson76:
Thanks for the reply Odysseus1962.

What about Wifi Calling. I know at the start of this thread, it wasnt included yet in it...but I think SuperAfnan said he was working on it, if I remember correctly.

So there is definitely a problem with low battery/dead battery issues with the Energy Rom. I tell you it went completely haywire and I couldnt save anything. I guess this Rom doesnt have this problem as far was we can tell. What kernel is being used. Could I use the latest from Faux with it? Would I gain any benefit from using Faux's Kernel or is there a need for it?

And I know its the wrong forum for it, but I am also interestest in SuperAfnans FireRom which was posted a few post ago. How stable is that, and are there any known problems with it such as Bluetooth, low/dead batteries/data corruption or even SD Card issues. And does it include Wifi Calling?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I think there may be a misunderstanding in what I said in my previous post. As far as I know there are no such issues with the Energy ROM, at least none in the 7 weeks I've been using it. The issues I mentioned are specifically related to low battery and the Faux kernels which has been well documented here, and with some of the tweaks that have been posted which modify the default journaling of the ext4 file system.

If you run the stock kernel on this or the Energy ROM then the low battery issue is nonexistent. Only you know if you've installed or flashed any of the other "battery" or "performance" tweaks that may contain the ext4 partition mods. The only way to tell is to read the init scripts. The ones that modify the way /system and /data are mounted by changing the journaling parameters are the ones that can cause corruption during an improper shutdown.

I hope this clears things up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=2264242]beeson76[/MENTION] Wi-Fi calling is included, it works well. I actually included 2 kernels, faux 24, and the latest stock. It's been fixed for months actually. I recommend the stock kernel over faux because people who didn't configure faux corrextly usually had problems. You can head over to faux's thread and flash the latest if you like. There honestly isn't a need for it unless you want to over clock or under volt to save battery, but usually people do it completely wrong and get worse performance or don't notice.

As for FireROM, it's pretty excellent! It's got even more goodies than this ROM in aroma installation except app removal in aroma. It's a darn good red themed sense rom. Last time i checked, there aren't any problems mentioned. Just remember to backup your data and format all partitions know recovery before you flash it so you'll be problem free! :):thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] beeson76:
Well after working with this Rom for about a week, this Rom has been rock solid and stable. I am really excited about using it because it has given new life to my Amaze. Thanks SuperAfnan for all the hard work in making this Rom. I appreciate it very much. Now I want to make a backup of this Rom and try Fire Rom.

Just one question though. I noticed that is has Sense 4. What features from Sense 4 were added because it looks just like Sense 3.6.

Thanks again for you hard work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
It looks like a sense 3.6 ROM, because it is. This is based on the last T-Mobile released firmware for the Amaze. I think you're misunderstanding the name of the ROM which is the 4th version of it, not sense 4. In the title SuperAfnan correctly identifies this as being a sense 3.6 ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatim_rajput:
hi [MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] .. this ROM is super smooth and fast ,,,, and i am enjoying it very well, the gallery bug is long gone... :)

i have one question for you though... is that possible to make a horizontal app drawer in sense 3.6? or some kind of a mod..? like there is in sense 4.1 which is pretty cool. :)

i like sense very much and if i choose the side drawer than obviously i have to have a launcher which removes the sense very much...

so in short what i want is a sense 3.6 horizontal app drawer or some kind of a mod but without a launcher... is that possible.. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Long time no see, hatim! :)

There might be something in the super tweaks app. HTC never gave us the option for this.

You could just download apex, then get a HTC theme. But I don't know if someone's modded a sense 3.6 launcher to look like sense 4.
[HTC Amaze 4G] beeson76:
What/where is the wallpaper that originally comes with this Rom. I changed my wallpaper and want to go back to the original... It's a nice one but I cant find it. The HTC rainbow one looks like it but it's a little too bright for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
It should still be in the wallpaper selection. I don't think I put a custom default wallpaper in there. What was it originally?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You used the default wallpaper and theme on this one. It is rather bright, It's multicolored, mostly light blue with some green and red, hence the rainbow reference. Since this is an unmodified sense 3.6 theme any stock wallpaper, skin, or theme will work on it. There are a number in the general forum of the main board and around the net.

All the previous poster needs to do is use the search feature on xda or Google to find what he seeks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
Dang. Just experienced the file corruption issue with this ROM running the faux kernel. Is previous data lost forever? All my settings were wiped, contacts gone, texts gone, user installed apps also wiped.

-edit- I'll just stick to CM. It's the best :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
This is why I backup everything. Yet that's never happened to me before, on this or any ROM for that matter. Anyone else had files corrupted on their Amaze?

You must provide more information about how this happened, what you did, etc, or I won't be able to help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Is there any way to increase the app partition in this rom I am running out of room?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Well I'm not keen on partitioning, you might be running low on room. But have you tried migrating apps to the sd card? That should alleviate space issues and give more room for apps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Yes but every app I move becomes broken. They are mostly games for my son, thankfully I keep them backed up because moving them back corrupts them :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You're running out of space. How big are the games? The Amaze doesn't have much space on the internal sd compared to new phones.

I've heard of link2sd and app2sd. Maybe you could give one of those a shot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
The phone was really low on battery and all of a sudden I experienced a bunch of FC'ing in pretty much every app I tried opening. I rebooted the phone and then everything was gone. From what I've read it's Faux's kernel that causes this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
That most likely was faux's kernel. It's nice but still not as good as the stock HTC kernel in terms of stability.

Are the contents on your SD still okay?

Also, [MENTION=2575538]jkozan[/MENTION] did link2sd or app2sd help alleviate space?
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Hey superSultan I downloaded this Rom (1.1)

It is awesome.

But you r now Telling that you t going to realise 1.2 .

Than I want to know that what is the main defrence between this 2 versions.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah I want to build a JB rom. :)

I will fix root permissions, and add more stuff.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Can you try flashing the root permissions fix from speed rom? That can work till then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
I already flashed FireRom 2.1 Rom until root permissions is fixed thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Ok :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
So when will you realise 1.2 update??

Eager to know...

Approx days ???
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Maybe one. :D Depending on how it works out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Hey superAfnan I found solution for your Rom and I fixed root access manually...

[/COLOR]1) download hasoon"s AIO tool.

2) flash TWRP recovery.

3) than install binary with TWRP recovery option.

4) and than push superSU from AIO toolkit.

5) again flash 4ext recovery.

Than you have root permition with 4ext.

[/COLOR]Your Rom is greater than awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
To fix root until I update it, an easier way is to just flash the SuperSU zip from speed rom. That *should* fix the problem for now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SocalTeknique:
Looking good. Fixed root but I found a bug in the gallery, it won't playback videos recorded from the camera.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
But I have already done it.

And by above method.

And can you fix only Bluetooth bug in next update ??

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

None of video is working on my cell ( recorded + downloaded ) from video player of galley.

But currently I m using HTC one's gallery .

And in it all things are working.

I'll post that apk file here.plz replace our older gallery to this sense 5 gallery.

I think all users may like it so much

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I think this Rom does not support HTC sense .....
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You can post the apk here I might add it but this rom was meant to be just a stock themed Rom but I guess I'll change that. :D

Also if the apk wasn't yours you have to give credit to whoever it was who posted it. Or it's considered kanging which is a fancy word for stealing software.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I figured out the Bluetooth problem. Was missing a few files. Still playing with Wi-Fi calling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Awesome. Which ones? And which directory? :D

I have no idea how it lost files, that's paranormal activity.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
One of the bt apps. I sent you a pm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Ok I'll post it in this evening .

And it is not stolen or created by anyone.

It is stock apks...

And have collections of that.

And I think if you replace that gallery than you never want the older one.

Bcoz new one has awesome look.....

Nice features and all editor in one gallery..

Cool !!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
hi here the few links for that apks:

and sorry for using mediafire links bcoz xda default uploader refuse to upload files bcoz of its big size:

For Stock HTC one Gallery:

http://www.mediafire.com/?vcdbd9kbyasgm65

For Camera :

http://www.mediafire.com/?urweeu3h8d9k74r

and this is additional apk which is for customize your desktop live wallpaper.

http://www.mediafire.com/?f1v5gdiuvn8929f

i think you should replace this apks by stock apks bcoz people will going to love these.

and it is tetsted by me so no bugs in it and also have ggod battery life.

i mean no bloatware for battery...

Hit thanks if i helped you !!!

:thumbup:

:good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Are you sure those are from the HTC One these look more like stock AOSP JB apks. :rolleyes:

But let's see. I wanted to keep this rom stock-ish. I might put them in Kaioken later.

Finally after dozens of builds I got a boot able rom, I will update this rom hopefully tomorrow. Chevy is also helping me. :D

Do you guys want an AOSP JB rom (based off sense) with sense removed. Think of it as Kaioken (but Blue not red). In other words it's like speed rom and kaioken but senseless and AOSP and blue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Are you going to replace this apks ??

But hey superafnan you u want your update 1.2

I mean I want this stock Rom with full working aspect Bluetooth bugs,

Gallery Like I mentioned, with HTC sense ,

Stock look .....

Please release this yrr...

I m waiting for this update from past 1 week..
[HTC Amaze 4G] SocalTeknique:
Yes yes yes!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Yeah, this issue has been reported with the faux123 kernel on several threads here. The problem only seems to manifest itself when battery drops below a certain percentage. When I've experimented with it I was very careful when I started getting low battery warnings because of it. This is the primary reason I'm using stock kernel. Just not worth the risk IMHO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I'm thinking of making a kernel, or building/compiling AOSP from source code. Sense 3.6 is old and we've got far with the AOSP projects thanks to sports, jeepers, Jose, and a few others like Eric (he made carbon a while back but his phone broke and he got AN HTC One).
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] the last couple of weeks here have been a blast! Probably more new releases (not derived from stock) than in past 6 months. You still think Amaze is dead-dieing? lol

I told you a few weeks back not to get disheartened, great things are soon to be upon us!

This is still a great device!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION] I didn't imply the Amaze was dying. I was pondering about making a kernel or compiling AOSP from source since development has been somewhat bright recently. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I was referring to one of your posts about a month ago where you sounded disheartened, down in the dumps and commented how it was dead in here and how the amaze was dieing. I in turn tried to cheer you up.

Obviously with the flurry of new development we've got a new lease on life here and that's a very good thing!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Studying is a burden, like this week I have to take 5 or 6 exams in a 3 day period, I took 2 today and still have more crap to do.

Stress most likely directly influenced my post, it's hard to imagine winter break is in 2 days though. After that are more midterms.
[HTC Amaze 4G] patel98:
This is my favorite Sense 3.6 ROM! ive been on this one for many many weeks nd days......

THANK YoU SUPERAFNAN :GOOD:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Yeah, It's a solid ROM. If you're looking for a tweaked, but stable, stock themed daily driver, this is a good choice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Why yes, yes indeed. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Yes and found some apps to move that will still work once moved.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Awesome! Glad my suggestion worked!

And would you guys consider this ROM stable/finished or should I continue development for this? Anything else requested in here?
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkshadow1997:
I think this rom is stable enough.i get good battery life,smooth scroll and gaming and every thing works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Perhaps you should declare a feature freeze, consider it stable, monitor should new bugs arise , and only release if fixes are required.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah it's better to stop the cycle than to make it continue. I'll probably learn to compile AOSP once my machine is fully ready!

Awesome! Glad to hear.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Slarty73:
Hi SuperAfnan, thank you for your amazing rom :)

I have used Telus stock rom for a long time and decided to try some different option

Just one issue I've found: bluetooth file trasfer doesn't work for me, can't to receive any files in spite of the succeeds paring

Does anyone have a similar bug with this rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Thanks for the kind words Slarty!

Bluetooth should be working fine. When you installed, did you format all partitions? If not, backup your data and do a clean flash. :thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Slarty73:
should be but it does not :(

it goes without saying I have made full wipe before flashing

tried to re-flash with stock kernel but without success as well as faux

any ideas how to fix it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Are you on 4EXT? Install that recovery, you can find it on 4ext.net.

So you're saying you flashed it again but didn't clean flash? When you full wipe it removes the chance of getting bugs like these.

If you are already on it, remember to backup your data, and format all partitions again then flash the ROM. Choose the stock kernel, you don't need to wipe in aroma.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
Keep up the great work kid we all need it for the

" AMAZE COMMUNITY "

February or March I should be around more often after I receive my taxes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Omg, Yes! Lol i hope you can get a new Amaze that would be golden.
