Depends of you're going to miss sense or not. Also, isn't the screen smaller?

I HATE Sense lol. I'm already buying the galaxy nexus and was planning on selling my vivid, but the nexus s is in really good shape! Guess I'll have 2 Nexus devices

Guess its a preference thing...I like sense...especially compared to touch wizzard and motocrap...sense is a little 'heavy' with 4.0 though..can't wait for damn bootloader to be unlocked...but that's just first hurdle..

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device

you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.
I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.

Vivid Rocks man , anyday
I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.

I wanted to see how cracked is your screen is. Can you post up some pics of it...?
Edit: NVM found it...
you can always flash a sensless rom. then you might fall in love with the vivid again. once you rip out sense and att apps, the device starts to perform

Thanks, but already tried that! Its pretty close to the Nexus, but I still like the Nexus more I highly reccomend BOTH of these phones!
Hey guys,
I bought the phone today, used just for a week 4 $200,
At&t white version, and im loving it, guy included a hard case white snap on cover, green & black hard plastic one, and a blue otterbox defender series!
So any tip or trick or hack let me know!
Cheers!
I thought about getting the white one, good choice. Welcome!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
The white version is pretty sharp, I wished I had the white version.
Tip 1
If you're planning on staying with S-On, just know you'll have to do things differently than those with S-Off.
Tip 2
Don't try and do S-Off until you've read how the procedure is done.
I kinda went at everything blind without reading, which caused me a few problems along the way. I was very fortunate to have the good people of this forum come to my rescue, I'm finally enjoying my HTC Vivid. Happy flashing!
yeah...read, read, and READ lol, but i suggest doing s off once youve read a lot about it and are comfortable...its a lot easier then it sounds-i finally got the guts to do it the other day...it was surprisingly easy and i got it first try...
i was so afraid of doing it cause you have to pretty much short out the phone...but i had already disassembled the phone to change the capacitive button colors to green so i figured if i could do that then i could do s-off
How can you get that price? I looked on ebay but only 250$++

Look on Craigslist.
There are several in my area Craigslist going for $175. I was able to trade my Evo Shift straight up for the HTC Vivid to someone from Craigslist, Good Luck!

OK... As much as I love my Vivid is going towards my wife as of today. I somehow ended up in a AT$T store today and used up my friend's upgrade that he didn't need, and now I'm rocking a brand new HTC one X, which I really love so far. I'm a little worried about the battery life, but so far isn't bad at all. As much as I wanted to go for the galaxy s3, just didn't cut it for me... To be honest I mostly fell for the one x's sexyness ...

HTC Vivid topic is very quiet.
NO new rom
NO New kernel
Very Low update for roms (only De-sensed and Holics have some activate), and i think this low activate goes very soon.
so this is the end of Vivid dev life ?
No there are many good roms out there

i know have many rom before. but it's so many time that don't have new rom. or some of them have bug and not fixed (like signalbar in de-sensed and miui)
Looks like we have 5 currently working roms, several on hold and also looks like they are being updated regularly.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
This phone isn't very popular. We aren't gointo be seeing much more development going on for it and the ROMs that are out there cover all the bases our community is capable of. That being said...every build that's out there right now is very solid and generally a joy to use. If you want a hundred sub-par ROMs to choose from, then by all means sell your phone and get a new one.
Sent from my HTC Holiday using xda premium
The developers have hit a wall with ril issues so that best thing can really do is give us good tweaked stock roms. The issue is HTC didn't make the phone very developer friendly

My kernel doesn't need to be updated. Likewise roms shouldn't need to be updated regularly. If you want buggy roms or kernels that need updating a lot I would advise a different device

i know your rom and kernel are now best for vivid. i use your rom and kernel. i mean add a new feature like usb otg.
(why HTC don't use usb otg? even OneX don't have this. but most of samsung have this. i think that's very important for a modern phone.)
or nobody work on jelly bean (in next forum worked but know is closed)
I'm still lost as to why we can't get a working sense 4.0 Rom.

I think USB otg Lso is dependent on hardwaren...could be wrong...and these roms already have plenty of features...have you used leedroid tweaks?

Because HTC has s*** coding, doesn't provide source, when they do its s*** and a mess, att just adds to the troubles
The main problem is the rills...basically the devs can't figure out how to get signal -that's in really basic terms for the non-tech people...there's obviously more to it...
Not sure why everyone is so crazy about sense 4...looks the same to me...what we really need is a solid (real) aosp Rom...bot One based off sense...one built from source...preferbally cm9/10...either one...

Yeah I really don't care much for htc enlight of this phone and my flyer (Cut my losses with it to get a nexus 7). My captivate was my 4th straight Samsung and I was always impressed with HTCs build quality and Sense looked cool so I thought I'd give them a chance. But now they'll never get my business ever again.
CM was always an option until I got these htc pieces of crap. I'm pretty strapped for cash at the moment but when I get back on track financially I'm buying a Nexus phone, either the gnex or its successor if it's out by then. As I've found from my Nexus tab with pure android an the most current version of android the desire to root is pretty weak

He was a dev here and made some very good roms for the vivid then some crap happened and he left/was banned. Google wcx Illuminati and register to see the roms but, you have to have 10 or more post to download them.

Let me start off by saying that I'm really enjoying my HTC one, it's great and phenomenal. I'm hoping HTC will make a great comeback with this phone, but here's a question: What would they name their next phone? Maybe they'll just go with HTC Two, but that sounds pretty silly. Hopefully they won't take a step back either to last year's models.
HTC One+?

The guys over in the Amaze forums recently got cm 10.1.....just wondering if anyone over here is working on it for the Holiday :fingers-crossed:
H8 is I believe.....

A few weeks ago H8 mentioned trying to get upstream support for the Vivid. He never said we got that though. I don't think our device is popular enough
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I don't foresee it for a long time, since H8 is also the main man behind the One's CM10.1 as well. Can't be easy to juggle the projects, and the One is definitely a more important phone.
*more popular...
Its more important to get cm10.1 on the vivid... IMHO..
