Hi, I was thinking of getting a vivid to tide me over for at least a year and was wondering about a few things.
No aosp roms except for synergy working on one and virtuous inquisition being the closest to an aosp feel; am I right?
What's the whole deal with the ril and is there any rom where it is not an issue?
Do the sense 4 roms on here have everything working but the ril?
Just wanted to ask these questions and save a little time not searching.

You are pretty much up to speed, except that there are two close-to-AOSP ROM's to choose from.
Does being stuck on lte have any real issues anyway? I assume if lte isn't present in your area it's only just a battery drainer

Nah it's fine. I live in a LTE zone and I don't notice so much battery drain.

Yes.
RIL is an issue in the AOSP ROM (IIRC) and Sense 4. This is primarily because of LTE being a nuisance.
There are no publically released Sense 4 ROMs, but yes.
Ehh, you should probably search anyway. It's easy, and you risk getting flamed if you don't.

No, not that I know of. I live in a non-LTE area, and I still have no problem getting 2 days out of the phone on the psuedo-AOSP ROMs, and about 1.3 on a Sense ROM. Still better than my Captivate, but worse than the Inspire.
Just wish we could get AOSP tethering

Is there anyone around who knows why we haven't seen any custom kernels out? Is there something preventing them, or just no dev interest? The resound seemingly has dozens. I'm used to the evo and then 3d that were swimming in kernels even before launch day. Just wondering what's up.

I think the lack of source code and developers (we only have 4, although quality ones) are the main reasons why we don't have multiple kernels available. So far we only have Sense 3.0 source code and only one unlockable? Kernel from bananacakes.

I personally think the phones performs extremely well without overclockable kernel. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I think Vivid still trumps skyrocket with its solid feel and more accurate detailed screen. Really though, I'm a huge fan of Sense.
me too, but i would also like to have more control of my device and have the option of multiple roms, i want miui
at this point i regret not getting a skyrock or a pos 4s
All I want is wifi tether to work. I hate having to use sense 3.5 to just have tethering. I prefer 3.0, seems to be better.

Oops wrong button.
I am not a fan of HTC sense and the stock look and lack of options of the shipped rom.
I guess where I am going is the battery seems to last longer with Ics and the speed of the phone is better. Running adw the draw is still laggy.
Why do phone companies make phones with heavy bloated roms and call it the fastest phone. Just give us the option to turn it all off.
Does anyone have any gossip on cm9. Considering how far is was taken on the dhd can't wait.

Are all the users getting ICS upgrades or is it like Skyrocket, where limited users got the upgrade
Not to sure. My missus and I have only been on for 6 or so days and we both got it. Seems like everyone. I woonder about the unbranded phones.

I saw for a while that "Rafyvitto" was working on porting Sense 4 to the Vivid but was hampered by problems with the RIL. One of his last tweets on the subject was "Passed on my sense4 build to thecubed, his gonna give ril a shot"
Does anyone know if efforts are still ongoing? Or have devs lost interest in the Vivid? My wife recently got a One X and (my) jealousy over the new Sense UI is becoming a problem in my house!
Thanks,
-Brett.
RIL is still broken, and rafyvitto is still working on it.
Holiday has a lot of odd bugs due to poor source. This is one of the two most notable examples; the other is no in call mic on AOSP during calls, but the mic works perfectly fine otherwise.

Man. If only Tmo didn't become so expensive. It was the only reason I switched to Sprint.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the GPe based on a Sense kernel, and only the appearance is AOSP?

Have you looked at some of their prepaids? They have a pretty smartphone-friendly, though well hidden plan for $30/mo. 100 voice minutes, unlimited text + data.

I'll be checking that out after I grind through my 2 year contract, that I'm now stuck in, which hopefully won't be as bad come August, which was the ETA for LTE in my area.

You could always try the famous overuse roaming data contract killer. I know it's worked for some around here.

Luckily about half of my area has LTE, but the problem is just that CDMA phones get the stinky finger because only 2 carriers in the world use them, Verizon and Sprint.
I'm definitely going GSM next time.

I don't think it ever will..... This is the thing that sucks about AOSP roms for me, when I switch to one I always loose a sense feature, even though I might never use said sense feature once I switch the situation always come up where I need the feature but I don't have it.... Sorry if that makes no sense...

I wouldve thought if HTC put beats in the Google play version they would put the remote app and drivers it needed also... Doesnt make any sense to me not to include that feature at least as a downloadable option

US Cellular is CDMA. And if you're lucky enough to have them around the network is second to none. But I do see your point. My problem is that my area (Wisconsin) is dominated by CDMA. The networks for T-Mo and ATT are not good around here.

Hardware is almost exactly the same
Also. Kernel has almost nothing to do with cellular connections, it specifies how the software should interact with the hardware and nothing else
The GPE port and 4.2.2 sense 5 ports are both using kernels made for the international version

So we have to wait for HTC to release 4.2 CDMA radios, or CDMA 4.3 radios, for those roms to work? Like we have the google edition port, but data doesn't work. What do we need to get that fixed?
No we don't have to wait for that. We have all we need to get it working now. Just give it a few mire days.
