Hello everyone,
I dont post here very often mostly because I got the WCX Illuminati ROM a while back and I have been MORE than pleased with it. It is simply excellent. However I am going on vacation soon so I wanted to update my ROM as its pretty old now and WildChild has produced several updates since I last installed mine. I went to log into WildChild's forum for his ROMs and found that I cannot navigate to any of the forum. Its like the page has been shut down or something.
Does anyone know if he has shutdown or what the deal is?
And if so what ROMs for our phone offer similar functions to the Illuminati ROM? I dont want to downgrade if none of the others I have found arent as good. Just to be clear Im not asking if other roms are available Im not that much of a Noob lol. I found This Thread and a few other websites with other ROMs I just dont want to spend a week testing them if you all have proper feedback.
Thank you for any help! It will be greatly appreciated!
None come close to the WCX Sense ROMS. I tried porting some but dropped it because of compiling errors and lack of interest. You are probably better off staying with his or flashing stock. Sorry for the bad news but development here has pretty much stopped. Good luck

Well thats sad...
Is there at least any knowledge on what is the deal with his site? I thought he supported other devices as well its hard to imagine him just up and shutting down the whole site. Or maybe is there a way to contact him for his last release?
If all else fails though I guess I will just keep what I have and reset everything.

Plenty more where that comes from too, hopefully, though Sense ROMs I'm not too sure about, once I get the hang of compiling AOSP from scratch I'll try it.

I was referring to the Sense ROMS. The AOSP are fine but I bought HTC for the skin. I'll give the CM 10.1 a go. Haven't tried CM in a few months

not sure about re-registering yet the forum software is going to be upgraded so have to wait and see how that goes
Awesome! Im glad to hear it. I just checked the forum today and there was a message that said it would reopen at the end of august with new stuff. Which reminded me of this thread.
Does CM have the wifi tethering unlocked like WCX? That was a big seller for me on the Illuminati ROM.

Yes, it worked for me on CM10.1 a few days ago when I tried it.
Should not need to re-register as far as Im being told...vbulletin 5 will be the upgraded version
Great News!!!

That is great news. Last I heard it sounded like August was a HUGE maybe. While it's good to see dev is still going on here for the Vivid there is nothing that runs as smooth or stable as WC's ROMS. The new CM MOD looks pretty promising but in the in call volume on the latest is still a deal breaker for me.

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......

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...

I don't think its that they need to see how much we want it...the problem isn't whether or not we want it, the problem is actually building it...the devs can't even get a good cm9 out thanks to HTC...but cm10??? That's even more work...that requires completly modifying the kernel to boot JB, then there's the problem of getting things to work like the rils...
It's not impossible, its just hard and idk if any of the devs wanna take the challenge...
(Although as a little incentive I'd donate some cash to a dev if they can get us cm10 )

I could see CM 10 work happening for HTC Amaze, I thought it is time for HTC Vivid Dev's to also think about and work on the same!! I did not mean to discourage anyone, I was encouraging and since I love Vivid, I would love to see CM10 like all other Vivider's!!!( Proudly)

I never said you were discouraging , all.I said was it would be hard but not impossible and that I would be willing to donate to the dev that can get it done...so in a way I was encouraging too

Blame ATT for requisitioning security checks, turning this phone into a pile of locked-down excrement then.

How exactly are we to vote? I would love to see JB on the Vivid. As far as I'm concerned the Vivid is the last good phone because I hate the idea of no removable battery or memory. I don't plan to change devices for a LONG time so I would love to see this device stay current...

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.

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.

So I'm just curious, is there anyone taking on the Cyanogenmod 10.1 task for the HTC First? I'm not seeing a lot about it and just wanted to ask. Thanks!

I second this. I would happily support this effort via guinea pigging and beer money.

I second this as well. Thanks for bringing this up.
We've got at least one phenomenal dev (Jmz) working on this phone, so I would expect to see CM at some point. The kernel was just released, and prior to that, there wasn't much that could be done other than the stock rom. Despite that, he gave us Sense 4+. I don't want to speak for him, and certainly voicing a request is the best way to show interest, but I'd say be patient.
All that said, I cannot wait for CM!

Partially I agree, but partially I don't. He said in the thread for his Sense 4+ ROM that he's currently working on another big app project and that he doesn't have the First as a priority. That's what I gathered at least, but I'm still thankful there's something out there and that he's put the time in

Just because its not a priority doesn't mean he's dropped it.

Looking forward to your return and to do some serious testing. Loving your unofficial rootbox, so, I'll be happy to do anything to assist in getting that mobile data issue squared away, etc. I know this is a redundant post, but gotta get my 10 in for the dev section...
