I am running the latest build of CyanogenMod-6 (V6.0.0-RC1) with the snapv3 kernel, and my Evo is running at amazing speeds and performance has been way better than my other custom ROMS.
But I wish I was able to have a boot screen that shows the boot up process in text mode, like something that looks similar to booting into "Safe Mode" in windows or verbose mode under macs. Like what logcat live wallpaper does.

If this could be done, that would be great to have on the Evo and would serve to lessen the boot time.
Thank you all for all the wonderful work. Cheers!

I need some people to test out an app that previews boot animations on the device. It also can set the boot animation (requires root). This is a complete rewrite of the original version that is currently on the market. This version is using OpenGL to render the animations, which allows for the larger animations to actually work.
As I said, I just want to get an indication of what devices / android versions it is working on, and which ones its not. I still have a bit to do with the OpenGL, as the frames are rendering inverted, but this is just an alpha test
Note: If you are going to test it out, you must have the AndExplorer app installed on your device as well.
If you test it out, please post your device, and if you were able to see the boot animation.
I have attached 3 boot animations, if you do not have any to test with.
Thank you for taking the time test.
question
okay i am running android 2.2 froyo and tested the app out i was able to see the star wars logo one but it didnt take up all of the screen and it was in the bottom left hand corner and was fairly small but i was not able to load the matrix or the other one it just sat there on the white screen and said loading so it seems like some may work and others don't but its a wonderful app if its able to test all boot animations it will save me loads of time cause then i can just preview them instead of having to install them to see what the look like
okay so like i said earlier i have the moto droid running android 2.2 and the matrix boot animation didnt load in it but i also tried some of the added functions in the app such as setting a boot animation from your sd card to be your default boot animation and that didnt work but if you were able to get this app to were you could preview boot animations and then set them to play when your phone boots up i would give you a big kiss lol but i love the idea
i have the samsung moment and when i tried it, the animation showe up on the bottom half of the screen for like 2-3 seconds then went blank.
On Samsung Galaxy Spica 2.1 same problem, animation is displayed normally, but only in the lower left corner.
I've just installed TEAM VENOM 3.1.0 on my Sensation 4G. It is my first custom ROM thanks to the All-In-One tool that made it so much easier. So I've been trying out the new features to figure out all the things that can be customized. What has happened now is I can't unlock it. The pattern unlock screen is so zoomed in, only 1 dot is completely visible, 1 is partially visible, and 4 are barely visible. The whole bottom row is not usable. What can I do besides boot to recovery and reinstall the ROM?
BTW, what is causing this? Because it used to be zoomed out a little so the dots don't fill the screen. Then it was zoomed in a little but still usable. Now it's so zoomed in it's unusable. I tried to look for somewhere to change the font size, but maybe it's the clock size affecting it?

or boot to the bootloader and select reboot
after that uninstall whatever changed it
i'll give it a try
Thanks, that looks promising. No driver or adb installed at work computer, so have to wait until i get home. I can still get calls; just have to do without messaging today...
I just want to let you know I finally made the ROM jump from MaximusHD to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it went superb!
Before starting this I thought I would be busy the whole evening (or more than one) so I prepared for the worst. I still use this phone on a daily basis. I got another HTC oldy as a backup just in case. My HTC One S isn't recognized on my PCs anymore since jumping in the swimming pool with it last summer so I had an extra handicap not being able to upload from PC to device.
I updated TWRP to the latest. Cleared storage. Rebooted in MaximusHD again ignoring the setup wizard as much as possible. Once booted I opened the web browser and downloaded the CM12.1 05DEC Unofficial ROM and TK GApps mini directly to my device. (All links available in the specific thread here on XDA) Booted in recovery again and flashed CM12.1 and TK GApps. All my apps and settings were uploaded/installed when the device booted CM12.1.
After boot all I had to do is change my Mobile 3G APN setting.
After one hour of work I couldn't believe it went so quick! And easy! The experience of CM12.1 on this 3 year old phone is unbelievable. I thought I would experience more lag and slow responses but... none of that. I can't notice any difference in speed comparing with the MaximusHD ROM.
I hope this stimulates others to make the update.

I've been tempted by the idea of jumping the MaximusHD rom ship for a while too. Are you happy with the camera performance? One of the reasons I'm reluctant to go the non-Sense rom way is the lack of the full hardware access to the camera on those roms.
I just jumped the ship three days ago. I didn't use the camera besides taking 3 pictures for test purposes. I'm a long time Camera ZOOM FX user so the app installed itself again. I replaced the CM12 camera app in the drawer with it.
I need more user experience time with the camera to tell you it lacks in any way.
What, besides performance (speed) issues, will affect the camera not being able to have full hardware access?

A couple of things I remember were missing from non-Sense camera apps are the ability to shoot slow motion video (lower res but higher fps) and the HDR mode for photos.
Not that these two produced any usable results though .
I believe the other parameters like photo/video resolution are adjustable with the stock CM camera and ZOOM FX apps, right?

I can't find slow motion video. I never saw it in the MaximusHD ROM either. ZOOM FX cam does have the HDR option, just like with MaximusHD. But seriously, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Do you ever use it?

With stock CM camera I don't see these options. This cam app is really minimal. Some say you need to set resolution by entering the hamburger menu upper-left but I don't have the menu. App version is 2.0.002.
With ZOOM FX Premium all resolutions settings are there.
When booting my phone this morning I noticed that there is still one MaximusHD ROM leftover. I guess it's not really part of the ROM. It's the boot screen. The first screen you see when cold booting your phone. It's a screen with HTC logo and the development warning text in red underneath it. Can I easily get rid of it?

It's not part of the ROM, it's rather a part of the bootloader itself. You can change it by flashing a modified bootloader version:

Just read the thread on how to do that and find the one that fits your HBOOT version.
Coming from MaximusHD my hboot is at version 2.16... I don't see any download for that.
I've been using 20151223 UNOFFICIAL for some time now without the camera/flashlight issue. I've been using the camera more than once during the holidays.
Only trouble I have is getting cellular (3G) back online after flight modus. It's not possible. I have to restart the device every time. Anybody else experiencing this?
No, working great here on 2015-12-23 Unofficial HBOOT 2.16 from Flyer. When going out of plane mode, it takes around 15 seconds to get H icon (for HSDPA, 3G if you prefer). It may be a problem with the SIM card or advanced operator settings.
Hey,
I have a G920F and the boot animation is not working as it should. I'm on 6.0 Beta and don't think the problem is coming from the beta because if I remember correctly, the first time I booted the beta everything went smoothly. I am not rooted and the phone is completely clean.
The problem isn't a big one, but it isn't working normally. When I boot my S6, the 'Galaxy S6' screen comes, then no boot animation is shown, a black screen is shown instead, then after the small vibration, the boot animation is then shown without the sound. (an the phone is not in silent/vibrate mode)
My guess is flashing a new stock ROM fixes the problem, but I don't have enough time to sort the settings and stuff out after flashing.
Someone may be able to help?
Thank you,
I have the same problem. Check Marshmallow thread, quite many people have same problems too. That's why it's called "Beta" . Nothing to worry about.
Bliss is correctly installed in its own partition, I'm able to boot to grub. That's about as far as I can get.
The laptop cannot have the GTX 1070 disabled, I either set the graphics to be hybrid or discrete only.
If set to hybrid, every option in group results in a black screen, using custom boot perameters causes it to hang on 'booting a command list'.
If I set graphics to discrete, I'm able to boot into the command line, however, hitting alt+f7 freezes the screen, alt-f1 unfreezes it, so, it's unable to render the GUI.
Software render mode does not work.
I'm using the latest bliss 11.8 build using the 4.9 kernel, would it be worth me trying a newer kernel?
