YouTube ROM Reviews.

I just got the myTouch 4G, and I was looking through the ROMs, and some of them do not have screen shots, or videos. So I decided that in my free time, I will flash roms, and do video reviews on YouTube. I literally just started about 5 minutes ago, so give me some time.

Let me know what you think.

Just Sub'd to the channel, looking forward to some great reviews

Great idea! This way new users can see the rom in action before flashing.

maybe you could even go beyond roms and compare radios, maybe throw a video of you flashing a radio so other people know what to do. same with kernels.

Hell ya and show some good combos of kernels and ROMS and which ones like to cozy up to one another. Killer idea.

Or use the Kernel that the developer based the ROM around. The Kernel is the very basis of the ROM. I'm sure the developers have already did this.

hey thxnks i really appreciate u takin the time to do this !

I definitely respect what you are saying, but I think that options are there to be explored. To me it's a lot like saying use the ROM the manufacturer developed for the phone. We are here because we like choices and we like to be self-appointed test subjects. To each his own.

subscribed to your channel, thanks for taking the time to do this!

great idea! but i just checked out your channel and you should consider using the dev's version number in the title instead to be more accurate since they often update their roms with new features
so instead of like royal ginger 2.3.3 you should put royal ginger v2.1

A lot more ROM info is needed. Seems kinda silly to be doing ROM reviews and not actually say what ROM is being reviewed. "MIUI 2.3.3" doesn't tell anyone much when there are several MIUI ROMs available for the MT4G.

Hey if you'd like I could help with some of the reviews. I have a decent camera and willingness to flash roms. Just saying.

It would be cool to have a standard checklist of ROM features (Max OC, T-Mobile apps or not, special features, etc etc etc) for every video. Much like how phone reviewers do it...

Sorry about the wait guys. Expect a few more reviews today. Been busy with school and work, but I got some free time, and a new camera. Uber Gingersense, and other rom reviews will be uploaded across the next few hours. I'm uploading the uber gingersense now, and I have an AOSP to upload after that, and the camera has to charge, then I will do virtuoso, and there after.

Subscribed. I highly recommend virtuous fusion v1.0.6. It eats up my ram a little more than some but I've had no lag and its just a beautiful rom.

like the idea of your channel. some suggestions to make it better:
1)better camera
2)don't include instructions on how to flash, unless it is exceptionally difficult/different
3)shorter video and to the point
4)video editing to condense video

Great idea and thanks for your contribution! This will help a lot of people out and save people some time. I think it's rude that certain people would criticize what your doing without a least saying "thanks." I think suggestions and constructive criticism are great, but why do people have to be rude when you're doing something for no compensation simply to help others out? Just kind of pi$$es me off. Gonna subscribe now...

[AOSP] Android 4.0 source code release.

http://source.android.com/
Everything happens there.

OMG !!! ICS coming soon on our DS that's NIIIIIICEEEE
I hope the API switch is simple for our belovers developpers

Yes, with that all issues will be fixed soon.

great news. i hope i can use ICS on my DS soon.

Will DS be updated by HTC officially?
The official list only contail mobile with dual core.

We don't know yet, time will answer.

I'm pretty sad to break this to you, but the chances of an AOSP build are very low because of this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...he-heavy-artillery-this-is-what-it-will-take/
Barely anyone here can have this kind of stuff. The best chance we have is waiting for a build for Desire HD (It's the most likely HTC device to get one) and then superkid will port it.

Our Desire S will get the update prior to Desire HD.
Check out this link... Source
cheer!!!

I don't mean an official update from HTC, i mean a custom ROM built from source by XDA devs. That, DHD is sure to recieve first, the devs there are too many.

okay, but i guess Cyanogenmod will build it from the source

Sorry but why do you think so? This is not sooo extra ordinary... If you don't have such hardware you could also put the build to the cloud. Also these are recommendations! You can also build on lower resources it just takes longer

longer then 5 hours? wow xD

Well, mine compiles ginger bread too, but recommended was lot lower... anyways... its gonna be okay

that's the ICS port's name that cannot be spoken about here
it's like Sauron's ROM or something

I wont post a link to the page, but looking at Kmobs Google+, he posted a few pictures comparing his Sensation and Galaxy Nexus.
-In one picture he shows the 'about phone' screen on both phones. On Sensation, it looks like there is a color gradient, however its hard to tell. So MAYBE they have hardware acceleration working.
-Also if you read the 'mod version' it says CyanogenMod-9.0.0-RC0-Sensation-KANG. I'm a noob and Im not sure if the mod version will tell anything, but it says RC0 so maybe its Release Candidate status?
-One last thing I noticed is he has the same widget running when he compares homescreen, so he is kind or mirroring the two, but the Galaxy Nexus has the camera shortcut on the homescreen and Sensation does not. Not sure if that means its not working on Sensation, or if he just didnt put it there
Mods: if I posted anything I shouldnt have, please feel free to delete the post and contact me. Im familiar to the rules for the most part.

lol. should compare date released and prices for devices. the longer the date the device was released and the cheaper price it is, it should have many devs and support for it. as our devices is quite new (not that new lol) but its like a decisive thing for devs really, if they want to get the sensation and create ports there or just go to the newest device there is on the market. but needless to say, we have plenty of devs here. its just a matter of enjoying whats there and being patient. so, stay on and relax

It seems like developement for the Sensation is slowly dying.Looks like all the good devs have jumped ship to newer phones It's kinda depressing since the phone is only 6 months old.I wish i could afford to buy a new phone every 6 months.

Sadly, but true....

We have a good collection of roms though, and we will be getting ICS regardless from HTC. I don't mind if devs jump ship.

Yeah, TripNiCE ROM is now Alpha 7.5, quite perfect and very stable.
It seems that we could have a stable release (or two if CM9/Kang release something too) till Christmas !

Oops and sorry

Maybe this isn't the thread for this but before I start releasing a few roms I want to apologize for the whole kanging thing. I was having a bad day and saw no one give me credit for my work even though as someone pointed out we all kang one another, we kang HTC we kang. Just have to be sure to give credit. Please don't thank this post, this isn't me trying to get extra thanks, just more of trying to get the community to accept me before anything I release gets flamed. Thanks

Sometimes people become too emotionally involved in something for the wrong reasons.
You flipped out here, but this wasn't what was bugging you - no, don't expand on what it was because it's not for any of us to know.
That you came back and apologized for your outburst shows a lot about your character, because you do want to be a part of this and realize that arrogance is the wrong path, so, while I didn't involve myself in any of it and didn't really focus on it, I am glad to see you coming back to play with us.
What you posted before to prompt this apology was a weight dragging the doubleshot community back into the petty mudslinging and hatred this place in particular has worked so hard to bury and grow out of - this isn't some offhand I'm sorry but a recognition of just how counter to the spirit of XDA your actions were.
I accept your apology and hope to see some cool stuff from you when you get the chance, though I am only one person and wouldn't presume to speak for the community .
----
@ strapped - I resent that you paint the whole community as complicit of the actions or attitudes of a few, I can't think of a way I've wronged either of you, in fact worked on trying to help the both of you out - when you say community you mean all of us.
Don't take that as a personal shot, just put your emotions aside and consider what you're saying. Give JKilo a chance here and don't provoke a negatived response - some won't point it out but fire back and then this thread and it's intentions are poisoned.
Let's all make the effort to rise above the vile hatred this small corner of the internet tried to force on everyone in it back in october-ish, we've come a long way to rising above it with some very deliberate efforf from a lot of people.

Why is the Doubleshot dying? It needs an offical ICS. What would be nice is Virt. Inq. But based off the a stock DS ICS rom. So we could have TV-Out, and our *****en camera.

Honestly I'm not looking forward to ICS or cm9, neither have impressed me one bit. The AOSP camera is worse than stock IMHO, also the newer Sense ROMS removed carousel which is a joke. So I guess I'm not really happy where HTC is taking things.

You guys just sit down and relax, i'm totally sure One S will have official support, because almost every above par HTC has it!

I hope we do. but miui tends to keep a lot of older devices and add the newer one later.
but we have a good head start with the unofficial rom, hope they are aware of that.

I find it hilarious and embarrassing how many phones were added to that list more than once...

That's the way MIUI has been doing all their official v4 releases. It's called patchrom. By doing it that way, they don't have to really on there being a developed aosp base, which can help the roms be released sooner. Downside is the zips are like double the size, and it's not an aosp ROM anymore
