ROMs Review - HTC Incredible S

Hello everyone,
Been waiting for such a thread to be started, but none as yet, so decided to give this a bump.
Off late we have some Incredible development in the IS scene with alpharevx and all the ROM development.
Firstly, here is a super huge thank you from me (and all of us) who have benefited from the hard work & interest by all the developers. Thank you guys!
Our mobile lives would not have been half as interesting without all your efforts.
Appreciate & highly grateful.
Well, now back to topic.
Could we have a comparison of the ROMs for the lay man, the general public, the noobs and the not-so-noobs?
We could pay attention to simple concepts such as
-what is available and what is not in each rom,
-performance,
-UI & visual appeal
-anything else that you would like to mention
There are a few great ROMs out there and each of us have our favorites, so let's hear why you love the rom you using!

Wow!
This is a dud int it!
No one wants to share their preferences?
here is a Cyanogenmod 7 vs android revolution from the desire hd forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125348

I like your idea. I hope this thread will takeoff. Give it time

I don't know what I did wrong but when I installed cynagen 7 mod my phone clonked out on me looked great but when awnsering and making a call I could not here them and they could not hear me so unless there is a way to fix that I give it a thumbs down but I'm a noob at android so please don't flame me just my opinion

I think radio will depend on your base rom

[ROM] Amaze .20 'Official' woorim98's rom! Thank him for this only!

First and foremost I did not make this rom!!Found this in one of the many korean sites being routed through lately.LOL now most of the builds found were mostly just ripoffs of something else with the exception of possibly this one?? Its a blur based rom running os 2.3.5 with fauxs kernel already installed.
I'm just posting this for the flash fiends who really wanted to try this out. It seems quite stable as I've been running it as my daily driver all day without issue. No reboots no fc's and to me its the most responsive blur rom I've ever tried! It boots and shuts off pretty much as quick as CM7 which was shocking!
Heres the link!

I am not the creator! woorim98 is the creator thank him and faux for his kernel to of course!! Flash this at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone from flashing this!! Enjoy!
Do not thank me thank woorim98 for creating this and faux for his kernel.
Only thing I did was test this to make sure it was safe for xda users before posting it so if you wanna thank me for testing it thats fine but I nor anyone else besides the 2 mentioned should take credit for the creation of this rom! That is all!
Screen shots? What works and what does not?

What makes this ROM stand out from other ROMs?
Yeah please post some info. I might flash it if you can tell me if you see anything odd or interesting.

Don't know what works just making it available for all the people who want it. as for screen shots? I gotta get an optimus v all set up to sell it tomorrow to somebody.I used it for texting, calls. web without issue. still plenty of stuff to be tested but I've seen no problems so far. Have no time for that stuff at the moment.

I tell ya what guys there are definetly some cool looking things in the status bar and such and the boot animation is really cool! Later on if I have time I will put up some screenies but right now I gotta get that optimus v ready for sale! I need the cash! LOL
Or in the meantime you could just flash it and see for yourself as I was the damn guinnea pig and found this on a korean site and flashed it! LOL At least you know someone has tried it first!

What are the chances something is installed on your phone (after flashing this) that can steal all your personal data & can read everything you type in your browser?
Just saying..
Can you post a screenshot of the About Phone page?

The only ROM's for this handset are modifications and improvements on sense based roms, there are no other roms available as yet, except maybe the unstable half working ICS port, which looks promising.
Well I saw on another site that they were running coredroid so I was confused so I figured I would ask the experts. Im use to the inspire cuz I just got the vivid so I wasn't really sure. I know some devices can interchange roms with others so I didn't know if the vivid and inspire can do the same. I looked in the development section over and over but I wanted to make sure, so I asked a simple question. Next time I won't ask anything... And no a WTF is never in order with any question this is a fourm site for questions and answers...

ICS roms

Is there any custom ICS roms? sorry for sounding stupid but I cant find any.
Seems like there are 2 available and the developers have moved away from xda. One is made by Pirateghost and called Rum Float: http://blog.androidninjas.com/rom-dev/htc-vivid/rum-float/
The other is made by WildChild and you have to register to see the vivid section here: http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/
Anyone tried these custome ROMS?
Hey, has anyone tried these custome ROMS, I would like to get something without AT&T apps included......
wildchild has a generic one that has all the att stuff removed

Hi xda,
It would seem that I've jumped into this a little late, but what happened to make all the cooks leave xda and ignore the Vivid, Velocity etc.
Sorry but I've been away from xda for about 12 months while living in Blackberry-land.
I'd really like an ICS ROM for my Velocity without HTC's bastard 'Sense' bloatness.
Also - is getting root access to the Velocity as easy as it was for the HD2?
Cheers;

CM9 port is being worked on. Check the dev thread. Other than that, there are Sense ICS ROM's available, just not many here.. at this point.
As far as what happened, no need to stir up bad memories Look through some of the threads from last month and you'll figure it out. In the mean time, follow the golden rule, and the rules of the forum, and maybe they'll start trickling back in

I am using Wild Childs at&t build of ics. It is awesome! He did an outstanding job with the rom. Silky smooth, looks like stock without the bloat! Plus with the mods here in the forums like extended menu, signal icon changer, and some other mods you can't beat it. This phone rocks hard!

Because the majority of samsungs and other brands embarrass android and apple still feels outdated and something for social status?

IMO its the lesser of all evils. Every brand has their own "skin". So even if you prefer AOSP, you might as well get the brand with the best looking and best functioning skin. Of course there is the nexus phones, but those aren't for everyone.

Agreed. I just don't know that I could talk myself into the investment of a device that runs software that I hated, with the possibility of not be able to change it. Granted there are things being worked on now (CM9), but let's be real, this phone was released in November and to this point we haven't seen anything Sense-less (for reasons beyond the dev's control - just got kernel source 10 days ago fcs), it would be very tough for me to buy the device at this point if I hated Sense . I don't know how long shayla's had theirs though...

Gonna try to become a developer . :)

Depends entirely on what your experience is. There's a big difference between learning to cook having never cooked a thing in your life, and learning to cook French cuisine if you're already a master sushi chef.
I'll play it safe and say I've never cooked a thing in my life, but my dad is also a system engineer and could help if I needed it. I'd rather learn without his help.

Start with an RUU. Run the RUU on your PC. Stop at the first screen after it's done loading, don't proceed, but don't close the window. Start/Run and type %TEMP% and hit enter (this will take you to your user temp folder). Sort the folders by date and open the newest. Here you should find Rom.zip. Use this as your base ROM in the kitchen. Root it, deodex it (or not), zipalign it, etc - and you end up with a flashable ROM from an RUU

Recommended ROMs

Hi everyone,
Apologises if this is in the wrong section but my question is about TIMe so I think it is.
I received my awesome HTC One today and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any decent ROMs for this device, I've had a look at some threads but I'm not exactly sure what makes a good ROM.
Thanks in advance!

If everyone did that, how would any of the lesser known devs become known?
Yes, popular threads are generally a good place to start but we should always try others ROMs aswell just incase others are more suited to our style.
Hello Joe.Tolchard,
We usually close these types of threads because they just turn into everybody posting the ROM they happen to currently be on. The only way to go about this is to read the threads and find you a good guide and jump right in!
