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

both of them roms will get you no att bloatware...
i personally use wildchilds generic build as it has working wifi teathering
I have PG's Rum Float Beta4, updated from Beta2. No bloat and ofcourse rooted, really like it.
He has his own web site, if you search for Rum Float, it should pop up.

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!

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...

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...

Starting this thread for any discussion of the s-off tool in development or s-off talk in general. Hopefully this will help keep the development thread clear of chatter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Good idea, I wish there was more of this on XDA.
Perhaps if for each development project there was a dedicated thread for chatter, expressions of thanks, etc people would feel more comfortable using it.
Development threads might not grow to thousands of entries, with almost 0% of the entries actually about development.
I'm new here, post count is very low - but my posting habits won't change when I eventually get to 10 posts - unless I do get around to actually doing some Android development I can't see a reason for posting in the dev area.
I guess though that some dev's may prefer it the way it is, as a sign of recognition, or something...

Honestly you are not missing much imo. GB was so damn efficient I don't see a huge revolutionary change. ICS is very smooth and fast with the help of the developers many to be named I don't want to leave anyone out. But don't feel like you're so far behind bc you are not. Only recently has there been a few more roms to try out.
will s-off make it say easier to get ASOP type roms on to this phone?
Not necessarily, but it will work for all devices (vivid, holiday, velocity) with no porting and wou will be able to flash everything right from your phone, no computer needed.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Having s-off has its advantages. Having being part of the beta I can tell its great.
The best for it is being really for developing New Roms and aosp. Makes a lot less of a hassle to flash New kernels and firmware.
I'm sure we won't have to wait much longer for the beta to be over, its a fairly simple process but they have to make sure its foolproof so we don't have a lot of bricks like we suffered with the ota release that happened.

Bananacakes love your holiraider Rom and I could see you doing some great things with sense 4.0. You should lurk the irc channels a bit. Seems like the easiest way to get any news about s-off is just hanging out in the channel. I was really lucky to be there at the right time and got it. Don't bug them but mention your a dev and you'd like to be able to work on ics builds but you have a raider.

Yes, I've seen too..
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.

Welcome aboard. Plenty of help here.
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

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.

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.

Well seems like its going from worse to worse on the modern android devices. I hope that the aussie SGS3 is not to borked then.

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.
