Just Got The MyTouch 4G - myTouch 4G General

Hello everyone..Just wanted to tell the world how excited I am to finally get another phone. After the awful mishap with my beloved T-Mobile G1, I was left using the Huawei U8350..Didn't think I'd get another Android anytime soon.
And then.. I found this beauty, MyTouch 4G, for $150 CAD...and already rooted..charged it up and was ready to go
Still getting used to not having a physical keyboard though.
In terms of development for this phone, I don't know much of what's been going on. Perhaps someone could fill me in on all the goodies? Do I need to upgrade my radio and spl? What is the best ROM, in terms of stability? I'm current;y running CM 7.1
Don't care much for extreme speeds..I just came off a phone that had 192MB of RAM and a 528MHz processor...this thing is flying for me =P
Any and all help/advice/opinions/suggestions are welcome =D
Thank You!

CM is the most stable you can go.
Also, as far as radios go, it's all about testing them. Some radios work better for certain people.

hello! please take your time to read the guides around here

Newest leaked radio seems to work well, as well as the panache radio is great too. stick with cm in terms of stability if that is your main concern.

We have many roms to choose from. Feel free to give them a shot if you have the time. I'm on feby's ICS, but I go back to sense 3.5. Cm7 is stable with no problems what so ever. All these devs are awesome, you'll find something that might catch your attention, so give their roms a go

I went from a CM7 nightly to MIUI for awhile but now I'm on the beta 5.0 feb ICS...I'm using it as my DD and am on day 2 for now, I can live without a camera so it's not a big deal for me.
I came from a Galaxy S to mytouch4g and couldn't be happier. Welcome to the fam.

Thanks for all your replies..I feel so welcomed

I just joined the mytouch family also... Came from a vibrant. Loving it so far!! Welcome to a fellow newbie!!

I have been using Virtuous Unity V2.39 for over a month. By far, it is the ROM that I've been satisfied with. I've used CM7 and while it is very stable, I like the Sense UI. Post engineering S-OFF method, I've had no problems to speak of for anything. Radio versions included.

just got it a few hours ago.. rooted s=off
now im just thinking of what rom to use besides miui and cyanogen
any suggestions? virtuous unity looks good but its a few months old

Creamed Glacier or DARKSIDE SENSE 3.5

Virtuous Unity may be a few months old. But its going to be hard to beat if you want Sense 3.0. I've used CM7 on my Desire for over a year, and I just don't think it is as polished as Virtuous Unity. Maybe I'm the type that prefers to have a polished product first, then update it or remove components I don't like. If you are the same, you might find Unity is the place to start. Otherwise.... CM7.

Why so rude? I was only expressing the joy I was feeling. Why say something at all?
Well, in any case..I forgive you.

Tried 'em all
Hey guys,
So I've been keeping track of all your suggestions..and I really appreciate everyone's input =)
I ended up trying quite a few ROM's. Here's a list of what I can remember:
Virtuous Unity - It was Fast and Stable but didn't quite like the UI. I guess I'm a NON-Sense kinda guy.
MikRunny - Same problem with the UI
MIUI 1.12.23 - This one was very different from the usual ROM's. Very interesting take on the overall system. Very smooth, but not quite what I was looking for...
DARKSIDE CM7.2.0 - I really like this one a lot.
RCMix 4.0 - This one was nice too, but seemed a bit heavy in comparison to the rest..could just be me though =P
Creamed Glacier 5.1 - Of course I loved this, just because it's ICS. But it's not quite ready for me..few FC's, a bit of lag here and there, and no camera..
BlissSense - This one was pretty cool. I really liked the shortcuts on the home screen. The sliding tabs. Very good idea, easy to use.
RunnyDroid 2.1 - Definitely fast
Absolution - Nice theme and fast
BlackICE 1.23 - Really love the simplicity of this. Currently running this..
Pyramid3D - Not a fan of the UI, but I gotta say it really is much faster than other ROM's that are similar to this...
Pretty much every ROM runs extremely smooth, some have better battery life than others..but I've decided to stick with BlackICE for now until a fully working, bug-free version of ICS comes out
Just wanted to thank everyone again for all your inputs. Much appreciated!

No doubt about CM for stability but you might also want to try Darksense 4.0 for Sense tho most run Unity...I am currently running RCMix Energized cuz hey it is new - seems stable to me. Will give MIUI another try for sure as I only gave it a day in a bout of flashaholism ... however .... all the major ROMs that had good feedback on the resource bible were stable for me.
I am also a recent upgrade from a MT3G, but people have been building for this phone for a while and things are pretty stable outside of CM ... we are just behind the times!
I would definitely try a sense ROM and MIUI to experience the differences ...
Absolution also has a lot of dark themes ....
The new Touchcovery looks sweet too - going to try that out shortly ...

Disappointed with my friends Sensation

Hello guys.
As the topic states, I'm trying to help my friend get the best user experience with the Sensation.
I myself, use a Galaxy S II, and have been using this + Galaxy S I for like 10 months now.
But this guy came to me to show off his brand new Sensation - I tried it - and I thought it TOTALLY sucked!? The UI is really slow and sluggish, not much different from a HTC Hero lol (ok well not that bad, but compared to my CM7nized Galaxy, it looks like a failed toy)
I was really disappointed for him, and I promised I'd find him the best ROM/kernel combination out there.
I thought it was a simply matter of bloatware and bad optimization at HTC's part. So I flashed LeeDroid onto his device, it got a bit better, but animations aren't as fluent as I'd like them. I can even discern the frames per second by eye.. (almost)
Is overclocking the only answer? I saw some kernels which support 1.89GHz, but since I have no knowledge of HTC, I wouldn't dare try.
Questions:
*What's the fastest ROM out there?
*What's making the Sensation so slow compared to Galaxy S II and iPhone 4? You'd think a dual core would run any version of Android easily.
*Do I have to overclock to make the Sensation lag-free?
*Why are there no AOSP roms yet? Is there something preventing this?
*Is his device maybe faulty?
I appreciate your answers.
And please, I didn't come here to troll or flame. Just trying to help my friend, so lets keep it civilized and no Android Phone-rivalry hate

Keep well in mind that YOUR phone has been out MUCH MUCH longer than our Sensations. Also, we JUST got S-OFF recently which leaves very little time to have been developing.
Also, from what I understand, android is not utilizing the sensations dual cores properly, yet. That, along with Sense 3.0, and the lack of hardware acceleration all come together for a less than wow effect. However, with ADW EX (paid) my phone is faster than I can discern. That, and the fact that I froze Sense along with a lot of other stuff with Titanium after I rooted.
Give it time, you will see the Sensation really begin to fly. CM7 is due any day now for us as well...After thats all taken care of, have a look at the sharp look of the Sensation! Its got the looks on the outside right now, and soon someone will give it the looks it can have on the inside. HTC rushed this phone and designed it to appeal to the masses.
Id bet that the phone with ADW EX and Sense 3.0 frozen would look as fast as yours. It may not hang in there, yet, with the benchmarks but your daily use would likely seem to be just as fast. Oh and that is with my stock ROM and no overclock.
Matt
I purchased an SGII and was really impressed with the camera.....
and that was all.....
Sold it on ebay 2 days after purchase!
Cheap plastic.....
And if it's that good, why put CM7 on it? It shouldn't need improving should it?
using stock kernel + rom i have 0 lag and phone is amazing...
just used adb method to pause all applications not being used/bloatware
but you could also just delete unused apks with root explorer or whatever you may have since ur already s-off with root
(suggest backing up if you have any problems u can restore apk :| )

'Cause it's been a while since I ran Cyanogenmod, and I wanted to try the latest nightly.
Normally, I use VillainROM which is based on Samsungs sources, but with bloatware removed and deodex/zipaligned apks which is almost just as fast.
Thanks though, I'll forward your tips on freezing all Sense apks and run ADW Launcher EX instead (incidently, this is the launcher I use on my own phone and yes, i love it too.)
But no ROM or Kernel recommendations? Aww, I went through all this S-Off crap for nothing?

Try any 2.3.4 ROM (I'm using InsertCoin). The phone will be much faster

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Try Android Revolution HD 2.1.0, I just flashed this last night. Really impressed. Loads faster and still using the stock kernel for 2.3.4
Custom kernel's are on there way for this rom too which should make it fly.
Btw, does your friend have/had the newest 2.3.4 OTA? It improves speed as well
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
2.3.4 version of the custom rom i am using has definitely made a big speed improvement over 2.3.3
He is on LeeDroid rom now, I believe its 2.3.4 based! Right??
yeah it is based on 2.3.4
lol, yet another Galaxy troller
PLEASEEEE use the P3D Neon V4 ROM and use the kernel it comes with. Honestly, it's the best ROM I have used on the Sensation. Flash that, look at the UI and it'll make you wish you could have Sense 3.0 on your GalaxyS2. Make sure you also flash the 4.1 update on top!
It's smooth, has good battery life, and has a sexy theme with a lot of eye-candy that doesn't slow the phone down. If you don't believe me, please flash it and report back with what your friend says. Don't report back with what you thought of it, just what he thought because I don't wanna read a biased post lol.
Also, when we finally get CM7, the speed will be on-par with any other dualcore device.

New to rooted inspire

Hey all,
This is my first rooted HTC phone (owned two others that weren't rooted) and had some general questions for all those who are rooted.
There seems to be a good number of roms out there and I'm not sure what a lot of the features each rom does, so the question I have is, what rom doesn't really overclock the phone and gives a nice stock functionality that is stable? I'm currently running the synergy rom but kinda looking to go elsewhere. I do apologize if this is a repost, again a new guy here to both the xda forums and rooted phones. Thanks for any help!
Its all about what you want outta ur rom, just gotta do ur research. I'm currently running CM7, and I must say Its stable.
I've been reading and reading and seems I just can't make sense of a lot of what each rom does..I honestly just want a pretty stock rom without all the bloatware that doesn't overclock the processor too much..thanks though for the quick reply!
You say CM7 eh? What do you like most about it?
I tend to shamelessly plug my own rom, so you could check it out.

Lmao ok guys, have you no shame LOL j/k
To be honest i really like the CoreDroid Rom. It is gonna be based on your preference though. I went through about four roms before I decided CD was the one.
If you wanna keep it stock (Im assuming you want Sense) then I would go with Android Revolution HD ROM. It has Sense 3.0 which has some beautiful widgets and pretty effects, runs incredibly SMOOTH and is VERY VERY stable and fast. You can overclock with it but if you prefer keeping it at stock speed you can do that also. Bloatware is also removed and there a bunch of performance tweaks under the hood also.
Go with 5.2.6 which can be found on their website. 6.1.0 was just released but its still a little buggy so I would wait a month or so and see if Mike comes out with an update to fix the issues people are having. I use 5.2.6 and its, hands down, the best ROM I've used.
I would definitely recommend the same Revolution ROM that Matt has recommended.
....Matt, did you ever try running a benchmark test on Revolution HD 6.1? I seem to be getting a 1500 benchmark score, but with version 5.2.6, i was getting 2000.... Seems kind of odd to me that it would regress in performance. When I overclocked 6.1 to 1.2ghz, i still only got 1800 but the phone was noticeably snappier.
I am absolutely loving the new Revolution HD 6.1.0, It has changed my Inspire into a gorgeous model of phone epicness.
I'm pretty much a noob too and wanted the same stock feel like you. I'm using ClearDroid with no issues. and with the newst 1.2.2 version my GPS seems to be working better than ever. good luck
I have literally tried every Rom that you could use for Inspire. If you want stock I would recommend either cleardroid, pirateghost, or Inspirephacopida. They are all based on stock look and perform about the same as stock if not better. If you want sense 3.0 features then I agree Android revolution is the most stable. If you like themes and eye candy then coredroid would be the one. Again its really preference. Just try some out, you will know pretty quick what your willing to sacrifice and what you don't. I do recommend giving an aosp Rom a go just to see whether or not you like it. I would probably use an aosp Rom if it had the sense camera functionality.

I to am new to root but I am also new to Android. I thought I wanted a stock ROM also until I got ahold of MIUI ROM. It has a ton of themes and you can download widgets from the market. So like others have said play around until you find what you like!

I've used cleardroid, RCmix and currently using Coredroid..and loving it. very smooth and stable thus far. As for the Android Revolution it was next on my list to try out, but I guess I'll wait a month or two til an update comes out since CD is doing everything I really wanted out of a rom right now. Sooooo happy I pulled the trigger and rooted my phone...thanks guys for the input!!

Keep in mind, the *best* ROM varies from person to person.
That being said, Check this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=943
For AOSP Roms, I personally like Liquid Smooth. Fast, stable ROM
and its been themed/skinned to look a great deal like Ice Cream Sandwich.
CyanogenMod 7 is another popular ROM for T-Bolt. Even tho it's not "officially"
supported, it appears to work just fine.
(Liquid Smooth is the ROM I'm currently running).
If you like SENSE Roms, the BAMF series seems to be quite popular and
the IKream series also looks great.
I personally suggest that you hack the phone with Revolutionary, then
do a full backup with ClockWorkMod. After that, you can flash all the ROMs
you want with a simple restore to put you back to stock.
Since you're experimenting with ROMs, I suggest you stick with ROMs that
do not require a new Radio. Radio's can brick your phone and there are plenty
of ROMs out that work with the Stock Radio.
Good Luck!
I really like Liquid Smooth 3.2. Its super fast and looks amazing. It's much like CM7 but I like it better. I rarely have force closes or any bugs at all.
Liquid 3.2 for AOSP with IMO's latest kernel. Don't forget to run speedtweak.sh after installing kernel.
Infected eternity Sense 3.5 with 3d custom Rosie and CPU running at 1.5.
If you like sense 2.1, well than you have no taste lol.
i have liquid smooth 3.2 installed and it run very nicely... i was wondering if anyone knows where to find some nice themes for this rom? i did a search but i cant seem to find any themes for this rom, is there a ICS theme available?
I use infected eternity 3.5 and love it. Good fast Rom with plenty of support.

The absolute BEST ROM (for me!) is the one I run. The BEST ROM for your cousin will be the one he likes.
I run Eternity, I also like Liquid Smooth and (oddly enough) I also like the stock ROM but rooted and de-crapified.
i personally like DV's miui but its not the stablest yet.

I can very highly recommend ThunderStick Full Blown if you want a Sense 3.0 ROM.
Using IMO's new 6.1 leanKernal, the MR4 radio... this thing is amazing.
So smooth, no lag whatsoever, and amazing battery life. I believe its the best Sense 3.0 ROM I've tried yet.

There always has to be one of these guys ^, the self appointed search police (btw, your link pops up "no matches" for me).
Some guys read every post ever posted, and complain about all of the ones not interesting enough for them. Rom's change on a daily basis, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this thread. Even though I have had my TB since it was released, and have followed this forum ever since, I am still interested to see others opinions on CURRENT ROM's. That is why I opened this thread, why did you?
To the OP, I dual boot Gingeritis 1.2 (mainly because it came with the miui bar, even though pvy's app can be had separately in the market now) and CM7 (need it for work).
IMHO The best most stable is Eternity. It also has the best support
The best is the one that gives you the features you need. Everyone has different needs and taste

Best Sensation ICS ROM so far (April 2012)

Hey Guys.
I've been ROM-ing the Sensation on and off since July.
Been on CoreDroid 2 upwards but got a bit fed up of Sense so tried a few others.
I like MIUI but if I wanted an IPhone perhaps I should have got one!
I've returned to the idea of Sense so long as its not OTT.
I'm on CoreDroid (5.1) which looks pretty slick.
Tried the ARHD rom last week and that is really good also.
Extreme Sensation Dream 3 was nice too but when I tried to upgrade (twice) to 5 I got a black start screen!
Ever since I saw the HTC One I wanted that look ... OrDroid 2 is good but no BT or Tether more importantly is a killer. When that is sorted this ROM will be cool!
Man, 4ext Recovery has really brough the ROMing thing on ... I can switch back to any backup in a twinkling.
Tremendous work from all you guys and thanks.
(I've donated occasionally and it must be time to do another one.)
Later.

HyperNonSense v2.0
Best rom for our sensation imo.
Thx. WIll give it a whirl.
I think the best rom is what I am running now:

It's smooth
It's fast
It's stable
It's looking good
It's got high performance (1.6 ghz)

This, X's 100.
Seriously, you've gotta try things for yourself, what works for some you may hate. I won't name anything specific but there are already a couple rom's mentioned above that I've tried and really not cared for at all, but that's just me.
My favorite ICS rom is ARHD for sense 3.6 and Ordroid for Sense 4

Best In My Opinion
I'm on CoreDroid (5.1) which looks pretty clean, super fast and stable.
Well, I tried other Core Droids 3.5 through 5.0 and none has given battery life like this one. the 4g available in my area allows the phone to stream and download faster, the other ROM lagged a bit and was not responsive (multitasking). No WiFi issues with 5.1.
Just another point to add to the uselessness of this type of thread, what's the point of saying "my favorite rom is..." if you don't bother explaining WHY it's your favorite??
It's like saying "the best color is red..." or "the best flavor of ice cream is chocolate..."
My favorite...
I have tried all of the roms. I have to say I hate the sense theme, but I have to admit that sense roms are the most stable and least buggy, and give great battery life. So I started with CyanogenMod9, but it had too many bugs. Then I tried Virtous Inquisition, but it wasnt smooth enough, I even flashed different Kernels... Recently I've been using the HyperNonsense Rom's by SpIder and he did a great job. But, I took his concept and flashed ARHD, trully best rom...and flashed it with ICS AOSP theme by Schizion, and flashed faux Kernel...I have to say this is by faaaaaaaaar the best combo...If you like AOSP then I find this combo to be greatest.

i used ARHD last time but my battery life is not good..
i changed to extreme sensation dream 3 and its good.. thats what im using for more than 1 week.
now i will try hypernonsense coz i saw the free ram is more than 300+ 2.2 version with faux kernel in it.. i will try that..
downloading files...
Virtuous inquisition the most stable and good battery life for me..
Many apologies, I didn't notice it was a copy of other threads. (Spend too much time in the dev forum and not the general forum)
I really love the CoreDroid roms because they just look beautiful and perform very well.
I got fed up of Sense for a short while but the sense-less roms I've tried are quick but not as good-looking and with these roms I've used the GO suite of apps & widgets to beautify but then the rom loses its identity.
These past couple of weeks I've gone a bit wild trying out diff roms.
ARHD and Elegancia are right up there with their looks & performance.
I really like how OrDroid is coming on ... updates galore.
Extreme Dream 3 is pretty sweet but no luck so far in installing Prime 3&5
Nice to experiment as BT is not key for me as a daily but Wifi tether is for tablet use.
Sense is whyI first got a HTC phone so looking for a rom or roms that take Sense a step forward.
That's all. Thx for your time.

Best custom Rom for HTC One X?

Best is a term relative to one's one opinions. But I'd still like to know.
On my HTC Inspire 4G, I had leedroid on it. It was awesome! Well, still is. And leedroid has made so many neat improvements in his HTC ONE X Rom, it sounds like an awesome rom. However, as I found out the hard way, the rom is for the international version. I ended up with a hanging boot and I had to flash the AT&T boot.img to get it working again.
As far as I know, leedroid does not yet have a rom for the AT&T one x. Which really sucks because I loved leedroid roms.
Sooo, if leedroid really does have a rom for the at&t one X I would LOVE it if someone can correct me and give me a link. Otherwise, what would you recommend?
I've always been a sense guy, for some reason. It seems fairly user friendly, and I like the looks. Especially sense 4.0. I liked the way leedroid kept sense in. A lot of other roms (cm for an example) don't have sense. And also I had a hard time growing to like cm. Anyways, what would you guys recommend, or do you think I might as well stay on stock?

Clean Rom is amazing. A lot like Lee Droid style only no heavy theming.
Just smooth optimized sense 4 goodness.
I agree. Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011

Looking at it, it sounds awesome! Thank you to both of you. Downloading now, I'll give it a try. I hate AT&T bloatware.
Whats the difference between dev and normal? On the download page it appeared the dev version was 150mbs and normal ~500mbs+.
Heh.. Either way; I'm gunna tweak CM9 a bit and see if I can fix the camera issues. The other bugs dont bother me.
BUT I use Nocturnal Xi40 r109 with Dual Core + 1.8gz OC mods. I pull a 5K+ Quadrant score which is a huge improvement from 4,600 :b Although it all works so fast I personally don't notice the difference.
Any of the Clean Roms!
little rant...I hate that all these threads get closed. They should just start one and leave one open and stickied. It's all subjective and there may not be a best rom, but there are certainly roms thats better than others and with all the updates it's always changing. nice to have on thread where people can voice their opinion and discuss the positives and negatives of each rom.

I agree! But... why would it be closed?
I just noticed since technically this is a question, maybe I should of asked it in the Q/A section. But really, I wanted a discussion... not a question/answer ordeal. I figure if I wanted a simple fast answer, I'd go to yahoo answers.
CleanROM SE. No reason to flash anything else.

Well, I'm partial to the Team Nocturnal ROM's, but I imagine y'all could figure that out since I'm part of the team.

There's a Clean ROM for everyone. SE for those who just want a faster, less bloated, and more optimized Sense experience and DE for those who want an ASOP like experience but with Sense at the core for stability and to keep the few things Sense does well (like the camera).
I flashed CleanROM 3.0 SE. I have to say I'm impressed. Its a lot like stock but its even faster and smoother! Though I must say I do really miss leedroid tweeks. It'd be nice if CleanROM made it easier to change similar settings.
If you really want fast try smokin1337 sense rom. It is simply amazing. I don't know what he's done to it but it the fastest rom I've ever used. It does take a long time to install, like 10-12 minutes so let it go. It really is fast. I use the 1.88 kernel and radio flashed after installing the rom. I've tried all the custom roms and this is fastest. Never experienced a sense rom that felt as fast as aosp/aokp , I have now. do a nandroid and give it a try. You have nothing to lose. You probably won't go back though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698502
Currently on CleanROM, but am interested in any good senseless ROMs, hopefully just basic ICS.
A search would have told you XDA doesn't allow Best from threads. As there is no best from.
