[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Don't even attempt to install any ICS-Sense-3.6 kernel (Nightmare, Faux, or stock) you'll soft-brick in a heartbeat and your next post will be how to flashback the kernel.

I've found several good camera solutions for this ROM, including the stock KK camera (available at Fdroid) which improves video stability (still nothing above 720p) and photography at 8mp. It doesn't include Gallery so you'll end up with 2 cameras unless you replace Gallery with the updated Google "Photo" app which is tied in to Google+.

I've also found a good workaround is to use the camera apk from the 12/31 release in the 1/04 ROM. It seems to take advantage of the fixes jeepers007 made so you end up with the best of both worlds, crash-free video [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION] or below and full 8mp photos. I'm just not as happy with the sharpness of the photos when compared to other cameras I've tried instead.

After failing to successfully build a CM or ASOP ROM on my own, due to my toolchain being too new in my Linux laptop (one of the downsides of running the cutting edge Gentoo "unstable" distribution as my primary OS), I began tinkering with my own ROM based on this one. I only have a few more kinks to be ironed out, then I'll be posting it. (I don't want to introduce any instability or new problems that don't already exist in this ROM into mine.) I should have it ready by this weekend at the latest. Without giving everything away, I will say that I've been able to incorporate nearly every stock KitKat app into it while maintaining stability. I just need to do more testing before I feel confident releasing it publicly.

First, I don't know if the free version works or not as it's considerably older than the paid version, which has been regularly updated by the developer. I've had the paid version since my old HD2, so it wasn't a new investment for me. That said.....

The way to get it up and running was almost exactly what we had to do with the HD2. First turn on WiFi, bluetooth, and NFC. All must be on (it's the same chip for all of them) for the app to autodetect and configure the FM tuner. Make sure you have earbuds or headphones plugged in as the cord acts like an antennae. Then turn on the app and wait a few minutes, at first you'll get nothing but loud static if anything. Then after 3 or four minutes of the device hunting around for channels it will finally stop with either static or silence. If silence then push the speaker headphone button in the app until static is heard. Once you've got loud static then tune-in to a known strong nearby signal. You should pick it up but it will be extremely loud,.... way to loud to tolerate and much louder than anything else on your device. Once you've got a station tuned-in then go to the settings menu (the wrench) select settings Audio /volume/ scale and input either 20 or 25. This scales down the volume level to 20 or 25% of what it was playing at and brings it down to the rest of the other apps on your phone (so you don't damage your hearing or your earbuds).

Once it's set up you can turn on or off WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC as it won't matter anymore. Once Spirit is configured and working, those other things will work independently and it will remember its settings for the next use.

I hope this helps.
