I wish they would develop that for this device, but I'm not so certain that they will because we don't even have an unofficial 4.3 port as yet (well, as far as I've looked. Only 4.0, 4.1, 4.2.......)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Only if HTC, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments provide the corresponding updated sources for development. Otherwise what few developers that are left here will still be banging their heads against the wall to port it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
We do have 4.3.

Ooohh I had forgot about this!!

My bad, we do have a 4.3

It was buggy for me, so I went back to tmobile ICS

Idk, I like the sense and sense keyboard more than CM keyboard.

Roms

I prefer the old Sense Keyboard. how can I get it back on my CM 10 rom ?

so far I managed to install CM10 rom

updated the contact manager to get it to synchronize with Facebook

but what it lacks is the snapshot ability using power + home button which doesnt work on CM10 rom

and the filp to silent the phone... also the volume controls are not so good during calls.

the volume is always at its highest even if I lower it. also the speaker is not as high as it used to be on the ICS rom

but I have to say CM10 is a better battery saver

runs smoother then ICS stock

and looks good

Sense Jellybean...

Once we have sense Jellybean, the next working will be KitKat.

4.3 roms

The evervolv rom is currently the best "4.3" rom for the Amaze. Found here: evervolv.com/devices/ruby.

Although, the mobile data is very choppy. It will connect but it's seems to when it wants. Not sure about the intricacies of that. But, a bit of a dealbreaker for me at this point. The good news is evervolv has been updating this rom with

tweaks and bug fixes everyday. So, it looks very promising. Also note, I have found an "unofficial" cm10.2

build by sportsstar89 but the sound does not work. If you search 'ruby' on goo.im you will find it. I would post a link

but the site seems to be down atm. I am currently running cm10/1006-nightly, what i've found to be the best jelly bean

rom at this point. There is also an unofficial cm10.1 build that is pretty good as well. It can be found here: droidfirmwares.com/cm10-1-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-custom-firmware-for-htc-amaze-4g.html/2. I ran it for quite a while w/o any noticeable

trouble. I just prefer official cm builds i guess.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I don't think you can get the keyboard on CM10 unless there's an app or someone made a port or something.

The snapshot feature works differently with Cyanogenmod cause they use the long press power button then selecting screenshot, though you'll have to enable the feature in the system settings.

Flip to silent the phone? Must be a feature I don't use lol

Idk, I liked the ICS stock tmobile (I de-bloated it myself using root uninstaller. Got rid of anything pertaining to t-mobile and it runs like a dream.)

Nenamark2 benchmark averages at 47 fps.

Antutu results are a little over 9000 (Let the Dragon Ball Z jokes start now lmao)

Overclocking is something that I would have loved to do on this stock rom, but I'll just run V6 Supercharger script instead.

Though pushing min. clock to about 1.2ghz gives a slight difference in benchmarks.

Hmmmmmm.......
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
It would take a lot of developer skills to get it on this device. CM said if they didn't officially support the device before, they won't start now regardless of ram specs. The s4 has it, but even better there is a dev for the international s4 that has made a 4.3.1 ROM which is made up of 85% straight Google source with 15% cm commits to get it to work on our device. And IMO, aosp is better and more stable than cm10.2 and has way less lag.

The problem is with mounting the sdcards. Google changed how the cards are mounted and we don't know how to get both cards to mount while the phone isn't connected to the computer.

And exactly what happened to Ravike is what happened to jeepers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
I want to ask here in general that is porting risky??

Because it lookin that jeepers007 bricked his phone...

What one should not do while porting Roms...!??

Any.suggestions
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Chevy perhaps you guys are going about things the wrong way. Instead of putting so much energy into getting a 3.4 kernel up and running maybe its better to stay with 3.0 and work around it. This is what the most successful developers have been doing on other legacy devices. For example, Tytung is still using basically the same kernel 2.6.29 for every version of Android since Froyo and his version of JellyBean-4.3 / CM-10.2 is much further along than anyone here is. He has faced the same issue of not having updated sources that everyone here has. In discussions on his board he's mentioned that it was easier to modify elements which require ion to pmem than developing an ion kernel from scratch to fully support that device. Perhaps our Amaze would be better served if developers here take the same approach. Use what we already have and just workaround it.

Now as to the mounting issue, the fact that both internal and external SD-cards are recognized and can be mounted via adb suggests that It's a configuration problem. Perhaps init scripts need slight modification or symbolic links created to get them mounted correctly. Again I hate to keep bringing up Tytung, but he worked around MTP issues by simply not implementing it in his newer ROMs. The old method of accessing the SD storage worked well with our devices, why must we reinvent the wheel? Yes MTP is more secure which is the primary reason for its adoption, but really, do we need it if implementing it correctly is only bringing about more problems?

Edit: Another thing to consider is Jellybean-4.3 introduced SELinux in permissive mode which means potential security risks are only logged, but nothing is done about it. KitKat incorporates SELinux in enforcing mode which introduces a whole range of new issues I'm sure developers here have never had to deal with before. I know from my experience with Gentoo that SELinux can be a royal pain in the ass to administer. Which is why I don't use it in my rig. I can't tell you how many times I've seen bug reports where a package fails on an SELinux install that works as expected for everyone else. I also can't tell you how many times I've seen packages pushed into the stable repository only to be moved back into unstable when SELinux users complain about it not working for them. It truly is a ***** to setup and have running correctly. To me this is just another reason to get out a stable fully functioning Jellybean-4.3 in which to build off of before trying to tackle KitKat-4.4 which is going to be a far more difficult nut to crack.

Just my 2 cents
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well I tried what you said thing is sense is entirely different than CM or aosp the sources are there for public in both of them... But sense is a closed source and sense jb rom libs are compiled according to 3.4 kernel by HTC.. If we want to update the 3.0.16 kernel we have to enable ion with it then have to make the necessary libs along with it as well according to sense source, also must make ion enabled libs we have to make them all according to sense source.. Even the simple fixes of sense is really hard cuz HTC Sense is a complicated system :/... Tytong and almost all the cm devices lower than villec2 still use pmem kernels not ion... Not even cm team making ion enable kernels and ion enabled roms for us cuz it's a lot of work even tho its basically aosp..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks for you comments, now I fully understand your dilemma. The issue isn't just getting a working JB ROM, it's getting a working JB/sense ROM. You see I'm sense agnostic. My HD2 had sense with windows, but all of the best android ROMs for it were aosp or cm based, so I got used to not having it. Now I've got it again with the nrg ROM so I use it. When I ran Tytung's cm ROMs I always customize anyway. To me cm or aosp is like having a blank canvas to paint on. You have the basic features, but It's infinitely customizable to taste. Sense gives a different platform. You can still customize, but It's not as flexible to customize as aosp or cm. In a way it's factory customized. Either way I'd just love to see a fully functioning JB on our devices. Please keep up the good work!

Ciao

I've asked somthing in above post..

Can anyone reply please... I want to start my work though....
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
I'm not the most experienced but from my knowleged you should be ok as long as you watch what partitions you format.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Whatever

If you decide to port, you will run into lots of problems. Plus it's frustrating. I don't really recommend it. Honestly, you should do something else besides porting.

You should learn how to compile instead of porting. Porting is quite dangerous especially if you don't know what you're doing.

We could use more kernel developers and more people that can build AOSP ROMS from source. There's plenty of porting already, why not do something A LOT more versatile and make a kernel instead?? What about learning smali?If we had more people that could make kernels, then we would have likely have gotten Jellybean sense much faster. If we people that actually know how to do smali mods/edit smali, then

Bluetooth could have been fixed when Viper came out!

.

But it's up to you, that's my 2 cents.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I don't think the issue with the guys that bricked their phones is due to porting. I believe both were working on source builds and had flash related issues. I know one was working on his kernel. There's a reason HTC only allows s-on. They've got the most convoluted partitioning scheme I've ever seen. It doesn't take much to damage it, or in the case of kernel development, try to boot one that's not bootable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Hmm... That's what I want to know the instructions that do not do....

Because before proceeding to the New thing it's necessary to know..

So please share your experience that what should I not do....

I am working on sensation Rom...:p:p
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
I agree with you.... We didn't brick our devices from rom porting... We went out of source means we have to do the fixes on our own that's where we went wrong ... Porting a same stock related roms are less dangerous... I think kernel development is far more dangerous than rom porting when it comes to out of source... Shubham as long as you stick to the porting guide you're golden also remember to edit the updater script (the only thing I hate when it comes to rom porting is that) you're golden then...
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:

update ROM CM11

Sorry for late reply I was away for a while

I did change my ROM two days ago to the newly released kitkat CM11 by Sportstar. and running it on ART runtime.

it really improved a lot, currently the screenshot is available, and volume control during ongoing phone calls are fixed

still problem with camera, tethering and bluetooth keeps disconnecting.

this ROM looks promising its much more stable then CM10, runs even faster and better battery lifetime

I updated the phone drivers, flashed the facebook sync file, and installed the latest gapps,

hopefully there will be fixes for it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Yep, they really improved upon CM11.

Honestly, the only real issue I have with it is that the camera isnt working. Other than that, after you integrate the adreno libs (don't know if sports added it and compiled a new zip) it runs smoother than butter.

I would seriously like to see our device have a fully functional completely stable updated rom. I noticed that in a lot of roms there are some issues that are really difficult to sort out, like 4.2 in call volume, 4.3 echo issue on some devices and other smaller issues that hamper the overall performance.

CM11 is beautifully built, the only thing I'd like to see cosmetically changed is a more compact app drawer (cause I think the icons are a little too big and spaced out)

Other than that, I'd be extremely happy with just the camera fix.

My support goes out to the devs, keep up the great work! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Fadiayad:
284699644

No the current CM11 ROM has the old Adreno Libs, I had to add them myself

am with you about the camera fix, but I would like also tethering fix :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Best Jelly Bean ROM

The most stable jelly bean that i know of appears to be evervolv 3.2.0p2. I am currently running it and like it ALOT. I will be switching to CM11 once the camera issue is fixed. Only thing holding me back. I highly recommend the 10/26 build rom found here. --> evervolv.com/devices/ruby - Only problem i've noticed is camcorder doesn't work. I haven't tried to tweak any settings nor try a different app. I DID however notice that in the vine app u can still record and make videos, so i guessing there is some kind of workaround for the camcorder. I don't record video much at all so it doesnt bother me. (auto-brightness fixed, speaker volume fixed, call echo fixed.)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Have you tried Evervolv 3.3?

Almost everything works! :D Including camcorder (even though it's only up to 720p, it still works really well)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
If you enjoy 3.2.0p2 try the 3.3.0p1 OTA from 1/4. Many of the issues you mentioned have been resolved, including the camcorder. Replacing the camera restores 8mp photos. Its been my DD for the past 6 weeks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
I did when it first came out. Haven't recently. 720p would be plenty fine. I think I read a comment that battery drain was a little excessive on it. Tho I didn't confirm that.

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I'll try it now lol. Is battery life noticeably better? (Wouldn't be a deal-breaker if no). I'm anxiously waiting for cm11 camera fix. I was reading on a potential work around on pacman but I decided not to mess around with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I do have that battery drain problem, haven't been able to resolve that. Ody is right tho, the 3.3 Evervolv is really stable, everything works (tried nfc but I don't know how to use it properly lmao so it made contact but i coudn't get files to transfer)

It's so smooth. I still want to try the CM10.2 to see the difference tho.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
When I tried 10.2 the sound didn't work, and there have been no updates since. I wouldn't bother.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I was one of those who commented about the poor battery life. I was able to tame it and bring about acceptable longevity by turning off NFC, experimenting with different governors (and settings), and by judiciously using Greenify to quiet misbehaving apps and processes. It's still not as good as Energy or the latest ION enabled CM, but it's close enough for me given its stability and number of features that function correctly. Until the exposure issues are resolved with the camera on the ION builds I plan on sticking with Evervolv.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
The 4.3.1 - 01/04 build is a great rom! However, the battery drain is too prominent for me. Is the 12/31 release better with battery life? The CM10.1 - 07/19 build has had my heart for quite sometime. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Ok [MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION], I decided to give the 01/04 build another shot. After successfully freezing NFC, my battery life has GREATLY been improved. I think I may have a new DD given this situation. Did u actually have success extending battery life even further while experimenting with the different CPU governors? If so, which one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I switched to the conservative governor and raised the default idle speed to 384. I was having problems with the screen not waking when early morning calls came in, or when alarms went off with it set at 192 with any of them (but this has been a problem with other ROMs too).

I recommend you install the Xposed framework. Then install GravityBox, Greenify, and Android Tuner which all have hooks into Xposed. Between those three apps you can gain several additional hours uptime, plus tweak it in just about any fashion to your hearts content. Of course your average screen-time is the biggest factor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Ok cool. I will try that with the governor if I see it necessary. I actually have those installed except greenify. I only learned about them from reading your posts, so tysm for the info and insight!

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

One thing I noticed [MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION]: If you can just crystallize apps in Android Tuner, is Greenify really necessary??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Honestly, the interface is just easier and less complicated to use for me. I've had the paid versions of both for some time. Previously, the crystallize function wasn't as fully developed as Greenify. Frankly, I'm more comfortable with the simpler less complicated UI of Greenify, so I use it for app hibernation. If you understand Android Tuner and are comfortable with Crystalize then yes, you don't need Greenify.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Oh ok I see. Can't argue w/ you on the simplicity ha. But it seems as tho after you greenify an app you have to back into greenify over and over and over again to re-hibernate it each time you open the app. Whereas, Android Tuner you crystallize once and your done.

Edit: After crystallizing Dropbox with Android tuner it did prevent it from running in the backround. However, after opening the app, then killing the process, after a matter of seconds it runs in the backround again while remaining crystallized. Re-hibernation is maybe unavoidable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
At this point we've wandered quite a bit off-topic with our discussion. Perhaps it would benefit more if we continued this discussion in the Evervolv Q&A thread instead?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dreaming1reality:
Yes I was kinda thinking that myself. That was my bad. I slightly started it off that way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Whoops Lol

Um yeah can't wait for that fix it'd make 4.4 stable
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
