I had the inspire. Now the vivid. Would flashing an inspire rom work?

It is not the same thing. I would stick with the custom roms in the vivid development thread.
It could work with some tweaks but only if you know what you are doing.

Nope. Each phone is different. In time we will get to where the inspire is at. People are working on cm9 once that gets to beta there will be working cm7. In a month or 2 we will have a leaked ICS build from Bell or one of the other telecoms and people can start working on android 4.0 with Sense 3.5 or 4 whatever the use.

Each phone may run the Android OS, but the way the software interacts with the hardware is based on the hardware itself. It is possible, but unless you are a veteran dev I'd be careful. The phones are very different.
Sent from my HTC... 'nuff said.
Yeah, even though they are both HTC, they are two different phones with two different chipsets. So, a rom thats been developed for an inspire will not just install on to a vivid. It would have to be ported over. Kinda the same way that a rom for a Samsung Galaxy S will not work on a Galaxy S II, or a rom for a Galaxy S II will not work on a Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
I was reading about jelly bean and I like the stuff you can do for notification bar and overall performance so I was wondering if any devs have there sights on this

HTC one is already ported with a few problems but very fast development for having different chipset then galaxy nexus this is the link I was on but an XDA member did it like everything

No point. Would still need source to make it fully functional.

Will we be able to use the source from the Nexus when that update is released...or will we have to wait for AT&T (or whichever carrier) to release their version of it?
So you guys do think that we will at some point get a jellybean rom?

Considering the GSM Galaxy Nexus came out before our device, and the fact its being updated...I wouldn't see any reason our device can't get in on the JellyBean fun.

Yes it may have come out before the vivid but the current and new nexus phones always get the current and new Android OS cause its Googles phones. The NExus came out with ICS out of the box, our vivid did not. It came with gingerbread. So Im sure if we do get a Jelly Bean OTA there will be a JB port before hand. That has always been my experience phones that already received an OS update before a new OS came out. Like with Froyo to GB or GB to ICS.
There isn't any reason why we shouldn't, after all my Captivate shipped with 2.1, and was on 2.3.5 after 2 updates, but it was sold in different times. When I got my Captivate the market for android phones wasn't near as saturated, and the Captivate was AT&Ts Galaxy S varient, only like their 5th android phone, and the other 4 were outdated teeny bopper texting toys. The Captivate was a no brainer for anyone who wanted a serious android phone in 2010 and wanted to stay on at&ts network. The result was a ton of owners, top notch xda support, and 2 major software updates as AT&T knew our contract would end eventually and wanted to keep us as customers.
Now times are different. The Vivid was one of many really, in fact it didn't even get the first LTE phone on at&ts network distinction, instead it had to share that with the skyrocket. And now the one x is out and the Vivid is kind of following in its shadow, not to mention HTC is struggling for business and is falling behind on upgrading other phones ie the rezound that came out the same time. I could see us being one and done. I hope we at least get a patch to deal with bugs at some point but I'm not holding my breath for jb

HTC released this statement.
"We are excited about Android Jelly Bean and are planning to support it across a variety of our devices. We are reviewing the software to determine our upgrade plans and schedule, so please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans."
you can find the story at android central (i cant post links yet )
Maybe we will get an OTA before a port....
Yeah either way it'll take a while, it always does.

I came from the Samsung Infuse and when samsung said they were going to release an OTA it meant that there was no way the end user was going to get it. Either AT&T blocks it or Samsung never sent it. Thats why I am happy with HTC. The last couple of HTC devices have been pretty good with OTAs
My vivid was the shortest wait ever but as a flyer owner they aren't always so great :'(

You really think the Vivid will receive an OTA JB update? I highly doubt it. I'm just wondering if we will get a port.
To some extent yeah I could see it just because there are a lot of snapdragon s3 Htc phones out there so porting to our device isn't hard, and It's not very old. But I also could see us being one and done too as the one line is supposed to be a new beginning for HTC and that's their primary focus no doubt. But if we don't get it than I can't see any other phone HTC s3 based phone getting it either.

OTA- Huge possibility
Port- definitely
Only question is which shall come first?
You know what I bet we will get it. The Vivid was AT&TS flagship HTC phone until the one x and HTC will want us to upgrade to another HTC phone when our contract is up. But at the same time our ics Rom needs a stability and performance update, and if they gave us that instead I'd be happy

I hope we get it ota that way I don't have to void my warranty to get it.

You only void your warranty if they can prove you flashed a custom Rom

I was not planning on picking up a HTC One, however an opportunity came upon me so now I have one on the way. I may be tempted to build either AOSP or CM, but won't if it is already in the works.
Yes h8rift and many others are working on it. Check out the att HTC one original dev

Hello there,
Well, I want to buy an HTC One, but I would like to get it at T-mobile since I've had bad experiences with other brands and none with T-mobile here in The Netherlands.
I currently have a Gnex and am a heavy modder, tweaker and ROM flasher. Will the T-mobile branded HTC One have impact on this? How is it different than the normal HTC One? Will I have trouble flashing various ROMS?
Thank you in advance.
Tmobile is the same version as international so you won't have any problems flashing roms. I'm on a tmobile phone right now running ordroid 7.0.0 and it works flawlessly.

This is all I wanted to know =]
Just curious if there's any dev going on for a solid lollipop ROM? Was over in the sensation forum and saw a few lollipop ROMs for that Beastie have been out for a bit. Any chance anyone's working on anything similar for our beloved raiders/vivids/velocities?

Currently wildfiredev is playing around with a lollipop ROM and tinkering with getting it booting on the vivid. Honestly, I'd be happily surprised if it comes to the vivid at all; this is a 4 year old phone, and it was amazing and awesome that someone took the time to get KitKat 4.4.4 working pretty much flawlessly.

Oh I totally agree. I hope I didn't come off as unappreciative at all..am running kitkat myself and love it. If not for all the hard work the devs have done this phone would have been obsolete long ago. Which in a way is sad since the hardware is still able to keep up pretty well against all but the highest end phones on the market now. I was literally just curious. I know the sensation is a similarly-equipped device, so far as hardware goes so I thought there may be a possibility someone's working on it.

Lollipop for HTC Vivid
I would also love a lollipop ROM for HTC Vivid! While searching for one I came across this:
http://www.**********.org/mp3-0/htc-vivid-4302.html
Id would like to see if anyone else can download the files . I cant download them so I am pretty sure that it doesn't work. Are there any other Lollipop ROMs for HTC Vivid yet?
