I can't help but to laugh at this. I thought ICS wasn't going to be tampered with as much by all the phone makers. This is a video uploaded by SamsungFirmwares (unofficial leak) so I assume it is pretty much what they are getting on the GSII or Skyrocket. What a fail. Glad I didn't switch to the Skyrocket or GSII, I feel bad for all you that did. I'll take a locked (soon to be unlocked by Evil) Vivid rather than the crap Samsung is making with ICS. Can't wait to see what HTC does with ICS.

to be fair, that was NOT posted by official Samsung. SamFirmwares is NOT official Samsung. that is a leaked beta, not even the final product.

To be equally fair, no Samsung beta ROM has looked very (if at all) different from the final product.

True... But I've had an Infuse, and we got loads and loads of leaks from Samsung and they were all very similar to the final product. That reminds me... I wonder if the Infuse even has GB yet, it was promised back in August if I remember correctly lol.

that may be, but for the OP to claim that it was official Samsung that uploaded the video is inaccurate. that leak is very beta with many unworking features. i'm not sure why anyone would think that manufacturers werent going to rape ICS anyway. HTC will do the same thing with Sense....Moto will do the same thing with their 'Not-Blur'....they will all get raped. laughing and pointing doesnt do any good for the android community at all. SMH

Agreed. The only aftermarket UI that I can tolerate is Sense, so I can perfectly understand why people want the full AOSP experience so badly.

Sense has some serious polish to it though. Look at the intuitive lockscreen HTC made with the rings, now compare it to the Touchwiz lockscreen. Touchwiz widgets have nothing on Sense too. The way Sense links everything is very unique too. I don't find Touchwiz that different from AOSP at all... That's why I got so bored with development on the Infuse.

I'm a graphic designer and thus am probably more picky than most... but... that's called Bad Color Representation.
When white is displayed as light blue and green looks neon green, your display is either broken or, just simply junk...
If your TV looked like that, you'd return it.
I have no idea why people seem to think it is not only acceptable, but preferable in their phone.
and yes, I have owned one... for 1 week... I actually cringed when my phone would ring, because it meant I had to look at that screen.... I returned it for my sanity, stating "it must be defective, Samsung could not have done that on purpose".

So I know it probably is really hard, but I was wondering if anyone has plans to make a HTC Sense rom for the droid 3. I would make it myself, but I have no idea how. I saw a video on Sense running on Droid 1 via Rom. So I know it is possible. To all the developers, it would be very popular, a lot of people like Sense.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
This thread does not belong here.
I also doubt that we'll ever have a Sense rom (unless we have a very experienced dev who has worked in both Sense and Blur environments that could port it over) at least anytime soon. If we were to have one, lots of things would be broken.

I can't understand the irony here.
Was done for the MS1, I cant see why can't be done for the D3.
And altough I casnt like a lot the Sense aesthetic, is pretty evident that the sense fw is light years ahead the amateur motorola UI.
So yes would be nice to have the sense FW ported to the D3.

Wow, your a beast with roms. Sense 3.0 is good with me, anything else is icing on the cake. You should totally do it. You gonna do it? I know just by looking at this, that it will be pretty popular.

Who said sense 3 ?
The OP asked about sense in general. Sense 2 is still light years more powerful and refined then the very latest motoblur.
If there's a reason because we sont see this happen is because the user base, original milestones and droids were true milestones, and come practically in the desert.
the D3 is just an average phone, sold side by side with a zillion of other phones.
Droid 3 was sold in millions of pieces, ms1 in hundreds of thousands, this surely won't happen with the D3.
And, as usual, larger user base = more developers involved = more chances to have the SW you need.
I said Sense 3.0. Got a problem with that?

Do you find useful answer to questions that no one asked, just to tell "I'm right" ?
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/

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?

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

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...
Arrived today from Amazon (penny phone!). Called my brother, he reported good volume and very clear quality. Seemed the same on my end, so my call volume and quality is not a problem.
Activation was easy, and set-up included a question about HTC-something or other that would check on my phone use. I was able to decline that, but I intend to get rid of all the CIQ stuff.
Right now it is upgrading to ICS, I am looking forward to it.
Wheee!

Welcome! I'm new to the dev scene here myself too but it's not hard to get started, especially with the Vivid. I did the S-off trick with a coated paper clip in one try, you just need to be careful and get the right contacts. Just be sure to read the SuperGuide, the Guide, and the Tutorials before actually downloading any zips and trying to flash them. It's very very important to thoroughly read all directions, as the people around here know exactly what works and what will brick your phone... I know from experience as I'm on my second Vivid.
Once you're Boot Unlocked, Rooted, and S-off, the Vivid is your oyster and you'll have a ton of fun flashing it with new ROMs, Kernals, and MODs.

Thanks to all, seems like a great group. My last phone was an LG Optimus V, and compared to that the Vivid is a rocket!. Very snappy. I rooted it, took the sd-card from the Optimus and put it in the Vivid. DL'd TiBu and restored all my apps and their data. All working the way I like it.
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks, got lots of good tips already. I'll post some screen shots one of these days. I am not much of a Sense fan, prefer my old favorite launcher. Slowly de-bloating the thing, ATT puts way too much junk on the phones, but they all do.
Thanks again.

As promised, a couple of screen shots. Notice the app drawer, I have 50% transparency on that. Also notice the icons at the bottom. The first is All apps, second is Apps I installed, third is called Tools and I can put anything I want in there, same for the fourth one called Fun.
My widget is BeWeather Pro. The only app I put on my home screen is ICE: Emergency. I recommend it.
Welcome! I have to say that you picked one of the harder devices to develop for, but there's a strong community here and elsewhere. There are many things in motion for this device, although you may have to look elsewhere for them.

I am thinking of selling my Velocity, not that I really want to love the thing, however the security restraints and general hard to develop nature of this device is turning me off HTC.
So get to the point you ask
Just putting it out there its not a request, demand by any means I just wanna know if there is anything CM10 in the pipe line due for release soon or is it to hard because of the bad HTC code and security.
I would like to keep the Velocity but there are easier devices out there.
Anything cm10 wise will be at tootz, which you know is on hold...don't think anyone here is really building from source...maybe in the future I may give it a try...but idk

I have only had HTC since I got android, I did some low end stuff with the DHD I had. Upgraded to the Velocity and have not been happy since gonna see if I can somehow get my hands on a GS3 from what I have read it is pretty easy to dev and plenty has been done with it already.
I would like the help bud as I need to learn how to do this for myself I am already setting up a dedicated Ubuntu PC and get things happening
Start doing something constructive unlike the other night :silly:

Sounds like a good idea...I've never attempted to build from source, but I have a guy in the infuse section that's gonna walk me through it, gonna get a new 1tb hard drive on Sunday...500gb for windows and 500gb for ubuntu-that should give me plenty of room for building from source as I hear it takes like 20gb just for one build...once I get started ill be happy to help you
What little knowledge I have is decompiling apks and doing minor edits to xml and smali files (for tweaks) unfortunately none of that knowledge does me any good here on the vivid as I can't seem to get apktool to work with the vivid :/
So hopefully sometime between mid week to the end of the week ill be ready to start helping...hopefully

Not a good idea man. HTC has gone too far with locking things down, but Samsung has started on that path. They locked down the Verizon GS3 (it's been cracked, but still) and people are having huge issues with flashing. Many of the dual core GS3's are losing their IMEI after flashing. The grass doesn't look much greener on the other side anymore.

True that. That's what I just got. Jelly Bean + project butter lives up to the hype for sure. I'm hoping you Vivid guys get to experience it. Fingers crossed for the codefire team.

Probably not too bad. The carriers here in the US are most the problem.

I'm going to see how I like mine by Christmas time, in which I'm buying a Nexus if I don't like it by then. It's not just htc for me it's nexus or nothing from now on. We have a pretty common chipset, we should have a development forum filled with aosp and aokp roms but we don't? Why? Because security is off the chain. It's a taste of things to come honestly. By next year look for android phones to be completely locked down with almost no updates anymore. They are becoming the new feature phones.
But HTCs s thing is ridiculous. It's another hurdle that doesn't exist on every other manufacturer. My captivate was completely unlocked from the factory, rooting took 5 minutes and you kept your data.

Yeah cm was always a safe bet till I got my flyer and vivid. Definitely not buying an htc again, but yeah the grass isn't exactly greener these days. The nexus devices aren't perfect but the price is right and support rivals apple

Well excited about this phone again cm10 is going again, things are looking very very promising indeed.
I am still gonna wait and see. From what I have used of cm10 so far this phone will be awesome. I might just get a sgs3 for the fun of it. Dev looks pretty good already, early days yet for international version though.

Just curious where all these Roms for our Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 are?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
We have lots of them ..which "great one " are you waiting for :what:
Seems like many of the DEVs have left Sprint for Verizon and/or decided they like their Note2's better.A lot of the rest all seem to be obsessed with AOSP/AOKP/CM Roms despite the fact that it removes most of the functionality that makes this phone great.
Unfortunately the blind hatred of TouchWiz for no good reason is hurting this phone.
Learn to build your own rom.

Ya on all the aosp the cameras are not even close to the stock one"unless there is a stock camera apk .".I see your point.. really haven't looked at it like that..that being said I would still never go back .pacman with faux =:beer::beer:
There are as many good roms for the Sprint version as there are for the others. Also, you guys should feel lucky that that Sprint has felt charitable enough to not lock this device down like Verizon and AT&T have as devs are indeed leaving those versions even as we speak.....

I don't even think I have seen a single Dev from either the epic touch community or gs3 go from sprint to Verizon.I've seen ATT and T-Mobile. Anyways we have many great devs in our community. And you can't expect every single one that you like to get the same phone as you. Since we don't all have upgrades at the same time. Some may have used it on a gs3 and now can't upgrade until gs5 or simply don't have the money to upgrade. We are all regular people. My guess is that by black Friday time we will have many more devs come over. This happened with the gs3. The number of Roms jumped a lot from what I remember since some people were able to get the gs3 for a penny with an upgrade.
And since when is there a blind hatred for touch wiz. Over the past two years I have seen more people prefer Touchwiz Roms over AOSP based. Easy comparison, check the number of posts and views of all aosp based Roms to that of touchwiz. And tell me which one has more. This goes for the sprint gs3 as well. From my view Touchwiz is the most stable and fully functional ROM for Samsung phones.

We have solid roms. Also take note this phone is still fairly new. Another thing to remember is that many people use stock rooted since this phone provides a rock solid experience. We got official cm support pretty much at launch the s2 never was like that
Too bad Calkulin went to another carrier.

I think op is referring to omega and other roms being ported. I seem to recall some devs not wanting th roms ported by others, but did say they would port it themselves.
