Hi,
I traded my ZTE blade for an incredible S and boy what an incredible difference,
but i have a problem ..... :/
I don't like SENSE, so i'm looking for an AOSP as possible rom
I tried CM7, but all versions i tried (latest nightly, 7.1, older nightly) have problems with the camera :/ the image freezes, unless you rotate or select an option, then it moves again untill i stop using a setting or it has been rotated, and that is VERY annoying ....
also, when i install a tiamat kernell, the device hangs on the htc logo and does not boot .. I hoped that changing kernels would cure the problem
So I am looking for another rom to use, I want a stable, fully functional as AOSP as possible rom that is rooted and has an unlocked (overclockable) kernel
can someone point me in the right direction?
NB: i've been looking in the forums, but it's a lot of info and hard to find what i want ... I've been on MODACO the whole time i hade my blade, but for Incredible they have no lively community, so i'm putting my hopes on XDA
NB2: No need to tell me about S-off and how to install clockwork recovery, that has already been done
u don't like sense then go for android revolution hd..
it has an option to remove sense via no sense script..
it is most stable rom out there.
afaik, cm7 and miui are the only aosp roms available for our phone. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
one of the downsides of aosp roms for our phone is that the camera quality is not as good as sense roms. i've read that the reason for this is because htc has not released the code. until then, we are stuck with it. having said that, i've read that the miui camera is a bit better than the cm7 camera. you can try the miui rom or download the miui camera and try it with cm7.
Thank you for replying to my question.
I'm gonna go for Android revolution with Sense removed.
Actually I already did it, now all I need is an AOSP dialer to put in there, because the HTC dialer isn't really my thing.
Great phone by the way, i'm utterly impressed with everything so far
NB: the HTC camera app is awesome
You can try to use go launcher, or touchizwiz4 or any other custum launcher of all above doesn't do the job for you.

then wth did u get the incredible s?
htc makes incredible s, htc makes sense.
you're not making any sense if u use aosp on a sense phone

So if we want to use AOSP you're saying we should only buy a Nexus?

Why not wait for that new quad core HTC?
i was doubting between the nexus an the incredible.
but in the shop where i work (and where i get discount) we don't have the nexus
and the 8 MP camera did it for me. i never base my purchase on software, i just look at the hardware for android devices, then i turn to romswapping
now, does anyone know a good dialer from the market?
I want something similar to CM7 dialer, i tried installing it, but it f*** the phone
Oh.
And no offence, but saying that buying htc equals using sense is like saying you cant buy a windows computer and then put linux on it. Same thing

a good dialer would be go dialer. basically go made most of everything.
go keyboard, go contacts,go sms, go dialer, go launcher.. etc etc

ahh, but if u buy a windows pc, u can dual boot windows and linux. that makes it entirely different. a hybird i'd say. even if there's a dual booting program in android, it's still immature and can brick the phone anytime

That was just... stupid, some people actually buy a PC, reformats the HDD and then install a Linux dist, without dualbooting with Windows.
Are they stupid too?
No?
Didn't think so. Your argument sucks.
let's get back to phones..
for me selling point for htc phones is sense..you can argue as long as u want but it's d truth..that's y they r always looking to improve d sense and other's like samsung,motorola
are also trying to put a layer of there software on top of android.

d people u r talking abt are programmers and app devs..not d casual user.
I've been dev'ing roms for the ZTE Blade and i been programming some android as well (not too much, just basic stuff). I'm not really a casual user.
It also wasn't my meaning to go dissin' Sense. I just happen to not like it. So I bought a phone after I checked that it was CM7 compatible, which the Incredible is, but unfortunatly the camera is broken on all non Sense Roms (CM7 and MIUI (tried both))

Weird, for me the camera in CM7 (using a nightly, dunno which one though) works pretty good. Sure it lags if it's bad lightning, but I've never had a cellphone with a camera that's good enough so I can use it if it's dark...
But I can't compare with how it's in a Sense ROM, haven't been using a Sense ROM since I realized how unnecessery all the stuff from Sense is for me
@mandeep
thank you for making my point clear.
@splux
implying yourself that you failed to make your point clear, how can you tell my argument is stupid? it is actually you who failed to understand what i am pointing out. well you see, there is no point in getting a phone which runs primarily on sense. htc made phones with sense. and to run aosp on a sense phone is like playing mario on a dual gtx 590 pc computer.
ah, and yes. i agree that people who buys windows pc and run linux without dualbooting are developers, more to the networking sector. they arent stupid, but rather smart. because in linux, 95% of viruses wont affect your work, as they're written for windows only. so your argument is invalid.
by saying my argument is rather stupid, you made a fool out of yourself without realizing it.

I tried Cm7 older nightly, latest nightly and stable 7.1 and MIUI and all of them freeze the preview image of the camera on the screen, unless i rotate it or touch the settings, then the image moves, but it freezes again, the moment i stop touching the settings or when the rotation sequence is done .... strange isn't it ?
Also, when i flash a Tiamat kernel the device hangs on the HBOOT .... I have a 1.13 device, maybe thats it. Anyway, I just spent the last hours customizing the Android revolution zip file to my taste (since i have some ROM knowledge)
I got rid of most of the sense stuff (Hope i did not delete too much, hehe) and replaced some apps, removed bloatware and changed bootanim. Just the dialer is bugging me, but i'll have a look at godialer, i bet i find smth that suits me
Still too bad i cant use CM7 I really love it, but one of the key points of buying this phone was the camera, so if it's useless on CM7, I have to ditch it for another rom ....
So I'm getting this phone today. Like most phones...after they "honeymoon" stage, ROM threads kind of die down. I like things simple...I'm coming from a Droid 2G, Droid 3, to the 4. (Which, by my luck, means the announcement of 5 will be any day now.) I'm looking for a ROM that's simple...and strong on battery. I'm not an average user, so I'm pretty sure I can get by...but I'm curious for ROM choices. I prefer a debloated stock rom as its usually the simplestest. But in true nerd fashion...I gotta ask..what's your preferred ROM?

eclipse. I've tried droidHD, aokp, cm10 and cna and frankly, I can hardly tell the difference (except for the screen rotation bug in jelly bean). eclipse is fast and easy on the battery; I'd go with it.
note, however, that with safestrap 3.x you can experiment with different ROMs all you like...
I agree, plus there are no bugs on Eclipse though I love the customization options of the JB roms.

Thanks guys. I thought I read somewhere that there was a screen rotation issue with Eclipse. Is this true?
Definitely the Eclipse hybrid. I left my phone stock for 2 months and I didn't like the battery drain and just decided to root and install safestrap (very easy) and I tried a few ROMs but came back to the eclipse hybrid. It's debloated and i also have it slightly overclocked to 1320 but with low voltage. Excellent battery life and very snappy! you won't be disappointed.

I use nova launcher but while I was using eclipse' launcher I didn't experience any problems
The rotation issue is with the JB-based roms (AOKP, CM, CNA0.
I've seen a lot of people recommending eclipse but this is the first time I've seen "hybrid" attached to the name. What is meant by "hybrid" in this case? Is there an eclipse rom and a hybrid eclipse rom, or is it just differing terminology for the same thing?

Agreed. I've noticed this too, specifically on droidforums.net and was wondering the same thing. That brings me to my next question...does anyone have a link for the Eclipse ROM that is so popular? I'm seeing mostly JB links around..and I'm perfectly happy with getting ICS. (I'm on GB right now)
Regular Eclipse is stripped to the bare bones, the hybrid version has some Verizon stuff still in it because some people still wanted to make use of some of the Verizon apps.
As for the link to Eclipse, there's a thread a few spots down with Eclipse.
EDIT: here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815079
I always keep the latest version of Eclipse on one of my ROM slots because it's always reliable and never lets me down. I use CM10 a lot on another slot because I like messing around with some of what JB has to offer but I always need to swap into Eclipse when I have an issue on CM10.
Best ROM thread.

Of course when the phone is just unboxed its smooth and lag free..but did you notice any lag after using it for several months?
I am planning on buying one..do you advise me to? It is really not cheap actually iPhone 5 here is cheaper now days.
I really like smooth performance and no lagging issues at all and I prefer android but i find iOS much more smooth with less specs..so should I get the Htc One?

In my case it is still extremely fast with no problems.
Have in mind that I'm full stock.
Unlike my wife's SGS4, this is still as fast as day one !
But sometimes when I had a performance issue, it was an application that took a lot of ram ..

Like what apps? What kind of performance issues?
It's as fast as it was on day one (sometimes seems even faster).
I'd definitely choose it again, just click some photos before and see if the blue/purple issue is there or not.

I would possibly take a look at the LG G2, but probably choose the HTC One because it has the best interface I've seen on an Android and is the smoothest phone I've ever tried. It's so reliable and well functioning that it's almost boring, because normally I'm always eager for updates to iron things out, but now everything just works.
Apps that are terribly coded can make it slow, but those apps usually make all phones slow. It's down to the apps, not the phone.

Well, I don't know what are your priorities and what you do want from your phone.
As I don't like the Galaxies and the design of Samsung that would still make me get the One.
I love it as a device. It's beautiful.
Moreover, I'm not in the mood for rooting etc (I believe I would only do it if the One stops to be supported) so again for me Sense has the best out-of-box Android experience right now. It's smooth and fast, Touchwiz cannot even compare to it.
I've never encountered any problems, I rarely restart it and I haven't seen get slowed down.
Of course, new devices did come out recently.. I don't know much about new LGs or Sonys etc, but 2-3 months ago when I got it it was absolutely the best Android device at its category.
The negatives are that in some cases build quality is not the best (but that's a matter of chance and I'm not sure if it is more often in the Ones) and the fact that there are some problems with low-light photos for some users where there is a purple tint.
However, I must say that the camera is very good except for this problem.
There has been no change in performance since day one. Had it since launch. Unrooted, Stock (T-Mobile), best phone I've ever owned. And I've owned many.
With Viper ROM this phone is even faster and absolutely zero lag ever, flawless.

Hi everyone,
I have extensive PC knowledge and have been in the computer repair industry for years. I do not, however, have hardly any experience with Android devices beyond daily use.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A (AT&T), which was previously unlocked. The phone is now under service with MetroPCS.
When I first boot by phone, it shows a quick screen with a picture of a padlock, which is UNLOCKED, and the word "Custom."
So, I was reading up on Cyanogenmod, but everything that I can find about it says that it is unable to be used with the AT&T version of the phone. I was going to follow this guide a guide from the CM wiki page but as you can see it says that I shouldn't try.
Most of the info I found was from early or mid 2014. Now that it is nearing the end of 2015, has anything changed?
If I cannot use CM, what ROM would you all recommend? My main reasons for installing a ROM are:
-A Spartan design. I like everything very clean, very minimalistic, with no fuss.
-Saving battery life
-Getting rid of all the bloatware and AT&T **** on my phone which doesn't even work because I'm on MetroPCS
-Customization (does this have to even be listed?)
-Phone as a hotspot without paying MetroPCS $5 a month
I am basically a complete noob when it comes to Android modding. I rooted an old Avid ZTE I had, but never did anything else with it and that is as far as my knowledge goes.
If anyone would be so kind as to recommend a ROM, and link a guide for installation that I can follow, I would be very grateful. Who knows, I might end up becoming a regular poster here.
Boot loader is still locked so no roms that require a custom kernel.
I personally recommend you to root your phone, disable bloat and install nova launcher.
Most all roms are simply user hacks since we are stuck on touchwiz.
Some are quite good but in the end they are still stock based.

Ive been using Arryamod, which is pretty close to stock with some tweaks and no bloatware and lots of customization.. Plus its lollipop
What do you think that is the best rom now ? I 'm doubting and do not know which to install
You will get as many opinions as there are xda users.
Personally I like SlimLP. My #2 would be CM12.1. Bonus, the devs are great for both.
What's the best ice cream, what's the best beer, what's the best city, what's the best tv show?
Doubt many have tried the latest versions of all three options and even if they have, their needs and wants from it may well be different to yours.
Only you can see which is the best rom for you, try them, it's not like you have to pay for them.

I Agree with "pond-life" in that is is all a personal preference thing. I own 3 of theses tablets and have tried all 3 roms but am running RR on them now because I do not like layers and RR has more custom options than CM. Again , all three ROMs are rock solid ROMs and it is just a matter of what your likes and personal preferences are.

I can't tell you which rom is best, you'll receive lots of differing opinions on the same thing. Only way is to try yourself and find the one that fits you best as that's what these forums are about.

White, Rose or red wine? Hmmm...
All ROMs a different, just try them, otherwise you will never know...
I will add, for a non-tech person, makes no difference. I have two tables, mine with SlimLP and the Mrs' with CM12.1.
The Mrs uses both with no difference whatsoever since her apps are on the main screen on both and she could careless about all the customization and tech details
