Yes its called the g2x

Eventually it will have CyanogenMod on it.

I understand that the G2x has vanilla Android. I just like the bigger better screen of the HTC. I could do without Sense, after having the Nexus S.

The bootloader on the device is currently locked. HTC is going to unlock it eventually, and then we'll see what happens.

And the g2x is far from AOSP. I have it, trust me, it looks stock but underneath it's full of LGE's crappy framework and coding.

Power button to hang up?

On my last two phones there was an option in the accessibility settings to hang up using the power button. But I haven't seen that option in the stock or a custom ROM yet. Is there an app for that or am I missing something? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

I'd like to know if there is a solution for this as well. I've almost been caught in some strange situations where I pressed the power button to hang up but obviously on the Sensation the call keeps going.

What phone does that?

Cm7 has this as default and can not be changed from my understanding. I personally do not like this option because it forces the screen to stay on and eat battery. For this reason I switched back to sense adhd.

Didn't remember that on my n1

Its a stock android option. Would really like it to be ported somehow to sense also. I'm not of cm so I won't be flashing it just for that feature but if you all like vanilla android then maybe that's your answer.

It's an option in the accessibility settings.

any solution for this?

Haven't seen any in any sense roms. Just the aosp/cm7 roms. It would be awesome if someone could add it as a tweak or addon.

what about for the s2

I would trade for the T-Mobile S-II in a heart beat.

I would keep the phone for you. I just traded the mytouch 4g slide for sensation 4g. And I like it but I also like the mytouch 4g slide also. so it was a hard decision to make cause really there the same phone inside so your not losing much there. Just think about it do what's best for you. Tell you the truth the guy that I traded with also wants the sensation back but I don't like Indian traders. It's only a phone so do you and get back to us and tell us how it's going

I have had both. They actually have the same processor. The screen on the sensation is a lot better. Also stock 3.0 is better than mysense 3.0

Stick with sensation or amaze?

So I'm getting an amaze on Tuesday and I'm back and forth to keep it over my sensation here is my dilemma, obviously the amaze specs wise is a better phone there is no question faster data speeds which I seen from doing side by side test with my friends amaze, better camera, more storage, better front cam, NFC, bigger battery. Now most people by now are thinking its a no brainer, but there is a downside, there are very few devs on the amaze forum I'm back to sense 3.0, ics seems a bit farther from daily driver status no where near the sense tweaks are available. I'm really stumped because I made the mistake of letting my hd2 go before it got really good with all the Roms there are to flash now, android, wp7 etc, n I'm afraid to do the same with the sensation now since there is a lot of devs supporting this phone what do you guys think? Oh and also there is no s-off for the amaze the bootloader can be unlocked through HTC but no s-off.

Forgot to mention the amaze is kinda ugly and bulky compared to the sensation

No WIFI calling on Amaze yet, that is a shame too, t Mobile signal can be **** in my condo.
Amaze has that annoying kid, Revolution the kanger, he is a big reason I haven't checked out an Amaze.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Lol that annoying kid? The devs are good actually but just not as much as far as I know xboarder, nrgz28, crackeyes, some guy from the epic forum and revolution, WiFi calling is no deal breaker because the devs already got it working on the amaze Roms actually and I also don't need WiFi calling I got 4g all the way from home to work and most areas I am usually at

Wait it out for a Tmobile based Quad core, or wait to see if Tmo gets the Nexus.

How do you feel about sense?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I like it it only leaves speed to be desired but some of the features it provides are quite useful I perfer it over cm7 or aosp. I always tend to like the manufacturers UI improvements I mean I bought a Samsung for touchwiz and a sensation for sense, that may change with ICS but I've yet to get a good taste of what ICS is like fully functioning

Stick with Sensation if you like Dev support ^.^

Dedicated camera button and extra ram. That's it. Personally I'll stick with Sensation until cm7 or cm9 are available for gs2 or amaze.

HTC will eventually make a phone with a high quality camera, it is still not as good as the iPhone can yet.

Honestly im surprised you said that because i think the amaze is one of the best looking smartphones i've ever seen

I've had the Amaze for a few days now. It's cool. Just the battery life is crap

Port rom

How do i port a rom? N i looked n looked n noting useful. Thanks
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

First off. You need good grammar and spelling, no more of the abbreviating stuff. Second off there is no sure fire way to "port a Rom" you will have to go to chef central on here and read for hours then compile your own cm7 build. Once you can do that you can work off that.

There is a couple stickies in android chef central that you can take a look through to get yourself familiarized with whats necessary to get started. I would definatly recommend setting up android kitchen on ubuntu if its possible for ya.

For starters if you want to just do a straight port, you could port miui from the DHD. It's the easiest one

lol the DHD and Desire Z?
well first and most noticeable is that the Desire Z (Tmobile G2) has a hardware keyboard. the next thing, is that the screen is wayyy smaller than that of the DHD. then there are the more inner things. the Desire Z has a 800 MHz CPU, while DHD sports a 1 GHz (like us). and also, the Desire Z has very little RAM, can't remember off the top of my head, but it's a lot less than the DHD or the MT4G.
but while the devices are different, it's still mildly easy to port a Desire Z ROM to the MT4G...

Mildly? The first ROM i ever ported was a MexdroidMod version using DSIXDA's Kitchen. It took like 20 minutes. I had an issue with the keyboard and dropped a gingerbread keyboard apk in to fix it. That was the ONLY issue I ran into.
I call that mega easy.
