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,

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.

Thanks for the info. I'll just keep an eye on rafyvitto's Twitter for updates.

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.

For me wifi tethering doesn't work on sense 3.5 ROMs but it does on 3.0.

I like Sense 2. Anny way to backport it?

Currently have a vivid and a gs2. I'm hoping for some reassurance that the devs we have here would hopefully be able to work on a cm9 or aosp ics later when all the sources drop. I've got to decide which phone to keep and ive seen that the gs2 has more devs working on stuff than we have for the vivid. Just a question. Any feedback from developers is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm working on porting ICS to the Velocity/Vivid/Raider myself. I will let you know how I go.
Also, I'm more than happy to let you test when I get as much bugs out as possible.
Upon trying to flash the system.img from Android 4.0, the handset got stuck at the HTC screen.
DHS2 is no more far along than we are in asop. Both are new still and it will take some time for either. Cm will have builds for us possibly in a month maybe sooner. Blog said something about them posting source for qsd8660 sometime in the near future I believe. That's our processor so it'd be a huge boost.

Yes, talking with an official CM Dev on IRC he confirmed it was likely that the Amaze/Rezound/Vivid line of phones (MSM8660) would receive official CM support. At the moment the 8660 is next in the list, right now CM is working on other devices, specificially the galaxy line.
CM9 is coming, it's just a work-in-progress. Check the thread in the Development subforum to see my current progress. Updates will be posted there as they happen.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind testing out ICS when someone gets it up and running on the vivid.

the latest ics release for s-off only devices requires hwboot 1.85
it shouldn't be that much longer for rogers to release ics for the raider....
Yeah, or Telstra does for the Velocity.
Telstra are really slack with their schedule as it is almost mid-March and not what we would consider "Early March"

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
I have been watching for a solid port to Verizon wireless, and saddened by the lack of love it's getting. What are some of the issues that are preventing developers from porting, or just building for vzw? Rumrunners s off works great, so I'm really confused. Is it not enough people with the needed hardware? Is there some other technical issue? I know viper is working on it, but there hasn't been any updates from any devs. We have like 12 sense and 7 aosp builds, and most are stock or have issues. I am happy to test whenever that is the only issue also.

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?
