Never heard of modaco before. Are his ROMs good?

I was initially wondering if I should get this device as it seems like there is lack of developers' support.
With support from paul, I am sure we can get a satisfactory custom rom.
Looks like I can order mine now.

Yeah Paul at Modaco is talented.... I have used his custom ROMs before on my Hero, must say i was very impressed! Hope the VillainROM team also get involved with this phone!

He has also done some excellent work on the Nexus 1. He was the first to bring out a Sense Rom for it.

Yeah ive been using VillainRom for my Hero for over a year now still keeps up with my girlfriends "stock" SGS! Pulser is the man, hes been saying how he doesnt like LG based on previous phones etc.... but i just hope he see's sense and starts developing for this monstor!

Yes!
Personally the LG 2X is the only interesting phone which is coming out now.
Galaxy S II -- too big
Desire S -- lol
Only the Motorola Atrix might be interesting as well, but the 2X seems to have better materials used.
With Paul on the phone, i'm sure the phone will get a great dev phone and a lot of custom roms.. (ok, i only hope..)
Just waiting for the first Gingerbread 2.3 ROM running on the 2X and i'll get one.
Good bye Desire (even it is one of the best phones i've ever had)

@Atomicman
i tested the sgs2 at the cebit few days ago and i was shocked how laggy this thing was.
maybe samsung will fix it until the official release but after that experience i'm 100% going with the optimus2x

Also thought long about that, and chose the O2X.
As you say:
SGS2 - too big
Desire S - with dual-core would be cool, but isn't
Atrix - locked bootloader is a shame
Just hope that community support will bring O2X long life!

i just got mine LG Optimus 2x and WAUW!!!
LG has done a really good job, I'm so impressed with the speed of this device - no buggyness and no laggyness
The stock is very nice although it's 2.2.1..
But I want custom ROMs NOW!!!

Paul, with the Acer Liquid, buyed it and selled it like a month later for a nexus one (if I remember well). So we must "pray" that he will not buy a Galaxy S2 or something as soon as it comes available

The difference is that Liquid was quite cheap device, I guess this time it won't be so

VIVID APRECIATION!!!! Who all loves the vivid sound off!!!

Alright so im starting this because...well i have had my fair share of android devices. And man do i have to say Im loving this phone. Credit goes out to bananacakes for making a great rom! (love the new aroma installer) Credit to kozmikkick for making a great kernel for benchmarking and allowing me to show off to all my friends. And thanks to slapshot30 for making a GREAT superguide which helped me a good amount in the begining. Yes i am new to XDA or at least in a im not going to just read and leave kind of way. I cant wait for these 10 posts to be done with so i can get into the development side and start giving people props and helping noobs or even just people who are having difficulties. (I have been there)
Alright people iv said my share now i want to hear what you all have to say about the vivid???

Nottach's Dark Raider is simply amazing!
KozmicKKick's kernal is mad fast and stable w/ aroma & great features like zram oc uv and fast charge capable
Pretty chill besides the thread wars
Overall I wish things went smoother dev/user & dev/dev wise
This phone has so much potential and can only go as far as it's development community!
I love my phone and I haven't personally seen one iPhone better or an android that comes close to mine besides my old G2 haha

Are you having a problem working your wifi on dark raider ROM? i am? and my battery drains fast..

I'm pretty much one of the few still rocking the stock ICS Rom (no time for playing roms now), but I wouldn't trade it for any other device out there right now

Hey lol my original plan was to stay stock but when I went through root process I just decided to grad a quick Rom that seemed good enough for then and have been on it sense lol

I always was told that HTC was the worst at updating. But I'm pretty sure that the Vivid was the first phone that didn't ship with ICS to get it. Love this phone!

HTC has actually gotten a lot better with updating. And I think you are right about ics
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA

Vivid is my first HTC phone, I have used SE (back in the days), Moto and Samsung. What impressed me was, the size the the way it felt when held in your hand. I have a company work phone (Moto Atrix 2), and just when I think that is big enough, Vivid just comes along nicely and makes a good impression right out of the box!
The only little downside that I might have with this baby is the battery life. Generally I would plug in to charge overnight. By the time I get up for work, I unplug (around 7am), and by the time I get home (around 6 pm), it would be in the red zone, showing either 14% or less battery left. I am actually less than two miles from the nearest LTE signal tower, so I don't have a problem with the signal. But with regular use (come on, at work, I got the computer with the company work phone and this personal phone), it would be around 50% around lunch time or so.
But I am still loving this baby! Will be still on the look for a better battery performance ROM and/or a larger battery.....

I love mine. Battery life is really my only issue. Ics is a little buggy at times but overall I love the phone! It's lighting quick and smooth and the screen is gorgeous. And Sense took a bit to grow on me but I'm loving it too.

There are a few tips to battery saving throughout the forums, also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646631
I understand that Sense 4.0 is not so much of a battery hog, let's hope that someone can get it going for the Vivid/Velocity/Raider as they really are very good phones apart from the battery life.

I don't want sense 4,multitasking is broken on it
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

Yeah this phone is great, everything I wanted my captivate to be but never was. I wasted no time rooting and putting a custom rom on my cappy but I've had this phone since March and I have left it stock and I might just keep it that way, works fine for everything I need and all bloatware can be either disabled or loosely uninstalled. it doesn't look like the firmware you see on the galaxy nexus but sense is beautiful in its own way and the 3.6 launcher has all the features I need

@OP how is the galaxy S3? And what happened to your Incredible S?

The s3 is amazing! I love the battery life over the inc s and somehow touchwiz feels alot lighter then even sense 4.
The usb port in my inc s died, as well as the sd card slot so there was not much i could do with it anymore:/ if i could id still be flashing roms onto it just for fun!

I've gotta say though even though there are less devs in this section, the sense of community and teamwork here is far better then in the samsung forums

Nice to hear that, but it is probably due to a fact that youre still new on the Samsung section... Enjoy your new beast, I've tried it few days ago and I was delighted!

Good bye!

What are your reasons for the change? Until now I didn't find anything what I needed and my Inc S it couldn't. Repair would be too expensive?

yeah it wouldn't have been worth it to repair, if it still worked my plan was to keep it for another year.
The s3 is very noticeably faster though and the screen size is really nice, overall everything just feels alot better thought out on the s3 then the incs

I'm still in love with my IncS

An upgrade should be nice...
I will of course upgrade even though IncS is such a wonderful phone.
great choice with S3!!

S3 sounds good enjoy it

[q] why no new vivid roms ?

Why has there not been any new htc vivid development ? The roms that are available seem to all be on hold ? This is a great phone, the rom im using is great but wondering about any new development or updates.

Cause this phone is hard to dev for....

if you want different roms theres always miui or de-sensed just google them cant post links here

The other reason is because a lot of the devs who worked on this phone have move on to the HTC One or SGIII. This phone is over a year old, which is a lifetime in phoneyears, unfortunately.

this badass named mg2195 is deving a cm10 rom ^-^

Load of crap

Woahhh there don't get angry xD It's due to the age (most dev's want the newest and best phone) and also due to the fact that this phone just wasnt that popular...

If its not popular why is the HTC hd2 still getting development and that was launched waaaaay back. And how is this phone hard to dev for???
Sent from my HTC Raider on the Rogers Wireless Network

The phone is just full of shotty hacked up htc code. They just threw together a bit of everything to make it work, which kinda ruined it for everyone wanting to create custom non-sense based roms

Instead of posting multiple threads in here about why there aren't more ROMs, why not go talk to the makers of ROMs such as JellyBro and JellyBam to see if they will support our device, now that we're cm10 official. Or go create your own.

HTC One Google Play Edition

Check out this great review on the new Stock Android One and GS4. Can't wait to get some of this on our phones fully working.

Also, I noticed on htcdev.com that they released the 3.4.10 Kernel source for the One Special Edition running Android 4.2.

i cant wait till the roms start coming out

Oh man! I am so pumped for this. I have been running Rootbox AOSP, and it has it's slight quirks and random animations that are stuttery, so it's gonna be awesome messing around with a perfect version of AOSP pretty soon here. Someone needs to release the RUU already

This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to start tinkering

stuff like zoe and beats wouldn't be ported over amirite?

I sincerely hope that within a week's time, we'll see the first major steps taken in the direction of a solidified, fully-functional build for Sprint's HTC One. Granted, things like CM 10.1 have nightlies, but sadly; not an official stable release in-sight for us.
That being said, perhaps the system dumps provided by GPE owners will significantly help steering these ROMs in the right direction.
It would still be fantastic if Sprint (and I suppose HTC in-partial) would quickly prepare the 4.2.2 w/ Sense 5 update for us.

From what I have gathered, beats will be a function you can turn off and on. I don't imagine Zoe will be there because that is a big time sense thing. And I think beats audio will likely not have the beats logo when it is running.
Keep in mind this isn't meant to be a hybrid HTC/Google device. It is a Google device. I'm sure they will implement the better sound, and some more root code stuff, but not as much on the front end / UI

From the looks of any of this I wouldn't get your hopes up for this "helping" anything. AOSP builds are already available. Until Sprint and HTC update Sense to 4.2.2 we will still be in limbo.

One thing this could help is the kernel issues we are currently experiencing and hopefully the random bricking issue some people are experiencing when running AOSP roms.

Zoe is not there, but Beats is in the AOSP build on the HTC One GPe.

All I wish for is that they port the beats audio to our Aosp roms. Will make they audio so much better.

Damn, was finally about to buy a One today, but this has me intrigued, since all I've used for years is AOSP ROMs. On that note, are people pretty satisfied with this device?

My EVO 4G LTE just drowned the other day so I paid my ETF and bought the One from Radio Shack, it's going to be delivered tomorrow. I was wondering if the fact that HTC was releasing a One with stock android would significantly speed up development on AOSP roms for the Sprint version of the phone. I was also wondering if there will likely be proprietary code for the GPE of the phone that developers here wouldn't be able to use in their AOSP builds. I love stock Android and I've used CM on all my Android phones at one time or another but there always seems to be random nagging issues that eventually push me back to Sense. I guess my question is will the software for the GPE One really help solidify and speed up development of AOSP roms for Sprint's version of the phone.

I believe you will see the GPe ROM ported to the Sprint One, but I don't know if it'll affect development by CM/AOKP/PA etc. There is still a lot of proprietary software in the GPe. That is, stuff devs can't use.
