HTC S640(IRIS) Forum Protest!

I think i speak for many other users out there, there has been a topic about this already but has been lost in the depths of the "general" forum.
I think it's time for this site to support us HTC S640 (Iris) users and make us a forum please.
This is a site devoted to HTC phones, why not include this one as well?
our phones are quite similar to other smartphones, but it would be nice for a place that WE can hang out in
If anyone is with me, keep this thread alive
I'm hoping there are others who agree with me as well!!!!
give is a forum pretty please

It appears they are as willing and just as slow as HTC is for developing fixes for things... This phone is weeks old already.

hahah this phone is 5 months old and still no forum!
there's no hope for us

BUMP!
The Iris is (obviously) just a natural progression from the S620/S630. Great phone, with more ROM, thus more opportunity for modification. I'd love to see the Iris acknowledged as a legitimate part of the HTC family. I used ROMs from this site on my PPC-6700/Apache and they worked great & allowed all sorts of extra/new functionality that was limited by the stale OS that it was shipped with.
I'd be interested in seeing what could be done about the lack of network file share support in the particular version of WM6 these smartphones come with. It would be great to be able to stream music/movies/etc across my WLAN like I used to with my 6700.

orb.com works great.

seems as if this phone is the "redheaded stepchild"... no love from anyone.
bump... any chance of this forum being created?

It's crap XDA is supporting this phone - it's a cool lil gadget.

HTC Sensation Roms Database

Hi guys,
I just created a site ( http://www.htcsensationroms.com ) that lists all the current HTC Sensation roms. The site tries to give a bird's eye view of the latest updates of each rom along with links to their threads.
The rom information is automatically refreshed from the "Sensation Android Development" thread every 15 minutes.
Let me know how to make it better!!

Please make it a little easier on the eyes on the top.
Alot of the stuff on the top didn't make sense. Only part I understood were the phones and roms in them, which was very creative. Nice job

Thanks! I used a page just like that for my old HD2. Looks exactly the same. Are you the same person who made that HD2 one too?

Awesome....one stop shopping.
P.S. I noticed you have the frankinstine rom showing "No" next to Sense.
I believe that is a Sense rom....allthough i think he has a no-sense flash over

Great! I really like your site for HD2.

Yep.

Yeah I've used his site for the HD2 also.
I put the link as the first post in the ROMs section of my stickied [INDEX] thread. I'll give it some time but I might just remove the custom ROMs section and drive all traffic to your site.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback. Here are my comments to your suggestions

- Sorry about the mess at the top... do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? you can send me a pm if you would iike
pnyppon
- I cannot get updates from modaco as my engine only synchronizes from XDA threads. I might modify it in the feauture if there is a demand
FreakyFerret
- Yes I am the same person who made the same for the HD2 android roms

Excellent! I sent you an email from the HD2 page asking you to make a Sensation one. So, thanks! Even if you didn't get to that email yet.
I also gave you a thank you on the original post and your response. You should have a full Thanks meter in my opinion.
I would often check your HD2 page several times a day, and XDA only about once a week. You were my main source of news.

The following days I'll let you know about some feature of my site that you might not know.
Today's feature is : "Replies per day"
On http://www.htcsensationroms.com , below each listed rom, there is a value named "Replies per day". This is calculated based on when the rom was first seen by the site and the total replies posted in the Rom's thread.
This value is very usefull because it can very easily show you which roms are most active (the ones with the higher "Replies per day"). Also note that you can sort the list based on the "Replies per day" value.
The above feature is found on all 4 of ROM LIST sites (for htc sensation, galaxy s2, hd2 android and evo4g)

Just updated http://www.htcsensationroms.com/ with all the latest roms!, let me know if I missed something.
Also don't forget that there is an RSS feed on the page to subscribe to rom updates.

Maybe add a kernel section to it to see if there is a kernel update ?
Great job this is realy usefull to check for rom updates

Energy (Nov 22) is android 2.3.5 not 2.3.4

very useful site, thanks, just like the one for HD2.

Good Job Sensation Devs

Wow Im trying to find a stable rom for my buddies mt4gs and their roms are all terrible maybe because its a laggards phone having that stupid keyboard and all. I love my Sensation and our developers kick ass !!!!!!

There's not much development for that phone at all.
Thankfully the Sensation is a worldwide device and we have dev's from all over the world making roms for us.

Yes the development on the sensation is great when you go to the development already you can find update every single day down there are you use or droid actually now it's called coin droid and it's updated all the time I love since 4 it's much better than all the other senses once people get a little bit more tweaks going for it it'll be perfect so I also thank the devs good job.

Watch your language and attitude when posting on XDA.
Or suffer the consequences...

Having previously been on the MT4GS before this, I can tell you that the phone doesn't suck whatsoever. In fact, with the physical keyboard I actually prefer it to the Sensation. I do like the big screen I must admit, but the MT4GS can do everything this phone can do (and the camera pummels this one). Yes, there's a lack of support for the phone despite having the same hardware as the Sensation, but don't knock their devs. For being so few, they've accomplished quite a bit.
If you want a ROM without sense, try Virtuous Inquisition. That one's as stable as almost anything here, with some nice OC/UV features that enhance battery life. If you want Sense, Virtuous PrimaDonna or Pyr'O'Ice Sensed (I believe they're now the same thing) work just fine for DD's. There are a few bugs, but that's to be expected with almost every ROM that does not have official support. As for GB ROMS, anything on there works pretty well, but people seem to be very fond of Bulletproof.
It is awesome to have all these ROMs to choose from now, but there are still some very good good (albeit few in number) ones for the Doubleshot.

Hurrah for vorbeth

XDA Sensation Developers Rock!!

I have to say that as a pretty new user here, the level of support from both Developers and also senior members is really fantastic. It really blows away other forums I have been part of previously.

I would also agree with the above. Coming from a Blackberry to my Sensation and Android was a big change for me. All of my answers were to be found for getting the device rooted and running a custom rom in no time.

Thanks for following the rules and using search.

check out the HTC HD2(Leo) section of XDA... i think that is the most dev friendly phone of all time

I'm newly registred to this forum but been looking around XDA since a few months back and never registred (really can't say why) and I must say that the atmosphere is great here on XDA, there is alot of support from devs as well as members of the site and I love it and the devs seems to know their thing. See you around the forums!
EDIT: I must agree with shee-b. All my questions already had answers and I as well got S-OFF and a custom rom running from a completly locked Hboot in no-time thanks to all the great guides and of course with a bit of help from the search function

Bad time to have a sensation, Has anyone else noticed the only consistant roms from developers now are ordroid and vorbeths ones? Haven't seen Baaad for a while and his rom says finished,Leedroid hasn't had an update since the One X. Not to seem rude but they seem to have taken the donations for a new device and buggered off :'(

Well, yes, on ine hand it does feel like it. On the other, there isn't much more to do.
I agree with whoever said that Hd2 is the best forum. Members are extremely helpful there.
I'm glad Sensation forum is becoming like that. Tou should have seen it a year ago, it was a right sh****le. Flaming, abuse, name calling.... You name it.

I must agree. I have successfully overcome my fears of rooting. The devs have all done fantastic work, and the guides are great.

Mecha Centre- for everything HTC Thunderbolt

This is already over at RootzWiki, but I thought I'd spread the news to XDA too!
Hey all,
So I've been working on a site (which went live earlier today) to serve as a repository for ROMs, kernels, recoveries, things like that, and even news- Mecha Centre.
I've noticed that the Thunderbolt community is dying a bit, not only because of the age of the Thunderbolt, but because of the whole RIL Ice Cream Sandwich fiasco which suggests that Thunderbolt development is dead without HTC's releasing updates.
I've created this site to help revive/keep the community of devs and users alive, as well as to make it easier to locate ROMs and other files one may need for their Thunderbolt.
We're still working on the site, but we already have some live links and news, and I encourage everyone to check it out! We try to keep ROM files so as to avert the dreaded 404 dead link, and our goal is to update often and keep up with the developers and their ROM releases.
You can find out more about this project at Mecha Centre and contact us with any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. via [email protected]
Thanks guys! Long live Thunderbolt!

Nice to see someone wants to continue but there are quite a few of these small starter sites now, i remember a few months ago when someone brought out their own as well, don't know what happened to it.. but I'm all for having a "good" rom mirror for all the old roms that seems to have no working links now.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I didn't know this has been done before... Well Mecha Centre isn't going anywhere, especially since the site is free to host, I plan on keeping this repository available so long as people actually have Thunderbolts and use the site once in a while.
Thanks for the comment!

Well, I haven't been on in a few days, but I know there are a lot of ROMs still missing from Mecha Centre, I've flashed several ROMs over the past few days to help sort of distinguish one ROM from the other and help out newbies with ROM selection. With that in mind, I also plan to add screenshots, the way it looks now, I'm seeing one page per ROM to really get in the details.
I am also considering toning down the Ads a lot, not a little, a lot; I've made less than a quarter with it in the past few days, I don't see it paying the site's bills for the future. I've added a Donate button, which may or may not work at the present, it's being weird, at least for my test page...
As much as I'd like to add as many ROMs to Mecha Centre as possible- that's kind of the point of the site- many ROMs are virtually identical, I cannot tell you how many ROMs are a devs interpretation of the perfect Sense ROM or the perfect AOSP ROM. So while I plan on getting as many ROMs as possible up, I give priority to the "popular" ones, CM7, Liquid ICS, MIUI, etc.
Anyway good night all!

Your site needs some gingeritis 3D in its life

Noted, I'll add it with the rest I was planning to add today/tomorrow.

just posting this in your thread doesn't necessarily mean that a mod or staff member will see it, this site is large. it would be better to contact a mod directly and ask about it.

Will there come any custom ROMS?

Hello,
I wanted to ask, if the would be come any custom ROMs, especially Viper? Are there any plannings by the devs?
I hope I may ask such a question.

Such questions are not really appropriate. I don't know if Viper - even though they resumed development on the U11 will come to the U12+ as well. Only time will sure. But I guess LeeDrOiD is a candidate if it comes together rich HTC Sense based ROMs. Let's see what time brings.
Regarding AOSP there are some treble ROMs in the project treble section on this forum. I guess one might already be able to boot one or another, but they will lack support for such features as Edge Sense.
Lastly we got to let the device arrive and see how things are going to unfold. Be patient and you shall see.
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs

Leedroid already said he was intending to develop for the u12+. He has a fund going to get the phone (I think he just met his goal) and I recommend you contribute just so we can reward him for his hard work. This is definitely a ROM we should all want!
Check out his work and donate at http://www.leedroid.co.uk/
