Well, who didn't see this coming
I will need some testers to let me know:
What baked in app sucks
what features you have/don't have (sideload, mobileap, etc)
what extras you would like to see
etc...
-OR-
Start a chip-in account so I can get my hands on one of these. (it will be donated to some lucky person after I am done with it)
Let me know what you guys think would be the best route to take here, its all up to you.

I'm in, I'm a "chef"/developer as well, but I'm always willing to help someone else and also work with them on making the device even better

We need TV-out through 3.5mm jack, Samsung Music app, possibly brightness control on notification bar, etc.

Need wifi tether missing features of touchwiz or none at all. Also a new lock screen that does stuff lol. Anything else that would be useful,

i thought touchwiz had brightness control by sliding the notice bar?

It does . I think the top part of the phone might be capacitive as well and that is what you slide. You might be right though. However you can adjust brightness control fairly easily. I say all Samsung widgets that are missing i.e. daily briefing, samsung music, etc., ability to swap out dock icons like the rest of the Galaxy S lines & the most important the LOCKSCREEN....im coming from a pre and i would hate to have the same lockscreen...im probably being picky but i know im not the only one...

get rid of all the sprint default apps like football, nascar etc

mobileAP or wifi tether should be number one priority. All the other stuff is cosmetic/optimization and added functionality trumps that.

WISHLIST to the DEVS

Hello guys... had my Sensation for almost 2months now, but most of the time just in my drawer coz i also have S2...
after i knew about the progress of S-off, i did it on my Sensation...
ok, im spoil with lots of custom ROM of S2 and numbers of Kernels to choose from... though S2's board is a bit messy because of "politics" among devs/mods/admins...
I understand that we only have S-off for a short time (compared to S2) thats why mods/tweaks/etc isnt as much as S2... im considering using Sensation as my main phone now, S2 have to rest
Here's what i want to see in the future:
1. Better battery management - i dont know about 2.3.3 builds because started mine with 2.3.4 ("Insertcoin" specifically)... im approaching to 30hrs of my moderate-heavy usage on my S2 (You can check Batista's latest build with Ninpehtamine 2.0.2 Kernel)... I know the fact that the display takes most of our battery and its S2's SAMOLED+ forte specially when its dsplaying most of the UI in black... so im not expecting it to be in line with S2, but we can optimizr the whole system to be more efficient... I want also to be able to Underclock and Undervolt the CPU like what i did with S2, though there are ways through Daemon, but i want it with graphical interface like that of Set-cpu...
2. Make use of the Internals - So we have 1.2Ghz Dual Core cpu (old architecture) + Adreno 220... its powerful and more than enough, though not as beastly as Exynos+Mali combo... i dont know if its possible but the Devs here are able to force GPU for handling the UI (thats what i read), why not push the bounderies and make it able to assisst the browser and the video player (stock or thirdparty)... I dig some infos that Sensation also do also pack descent Audio chips (Wolfson-but not the variant we found on Tab and S1), why not make a mods to make most of its potential... (Hello Supercurio) I know we have some progress on camera specially on videos, keep it up guys...
3. Software/Misc - How about an Odex system? (for quicker initial bootups of custom ROMs, less memory consumed, less storage used in /data due to the fact that pre-optimised dex files are stored on /system already [save space and boost performance]).. De-odex is just useful for themeing, but hell we have the Beautiful SENSE...
how about Phone.apk with voice recorder embeded to record the conversation? Mods to make the volume Key as a shutter in camera app? and etc?

Is this Thread serious? Guy you call for features that need time to develope and the Dev´s are on it. Like using the GPU in browser.
deodexing is not only for theming! Go on reading!
go back to s2 guy..... I dont want anything to be like this plastic ****! Software or Hardware!
we have more pixels that need lights so battery consumption CANT be the same!!
And who told you that the Hardware in the S2 is better? The Snapdragon chipset´s are better! Go on reading before anoying us with **** like this!
Go to S2 forum´s and cry there!
Ps. Mod close this please... we are loosing DEV´s with stupid threads like that!

Geez, poor bloke was only making suggestions, no need to burn him down like that, its people like you we don't need around these forums.
And I agree with the sound chip, hopefully there is a way to crank it up, I want to feel my ears ringing after taking out my headphones lol its just a bit to quiet for me, but other people may say otherwise.

I think the Sensation can be way better if devs:
-Put back scrolling wallpapers so we can use 1080x960 wallpapers, and don't tell me they can't unlock it, it's easier than all the mods they did on Rosie
-Boost volume like they did on N1 by kernels, volume+ wont help

+1.... Sound output is good enough for me (IMO)... what i want is to lessen the too much mid-bass hump on the sensation... what headphone are you using?

Some of your requests are already granted. Oc Daemon Controller being one. Do a little research.
Also, it's SGS2.

All we need is a sound tweak if u want scrolling wallpaper download another launcher most of the people I know don't use the default anyway. Sound seems to be the main issue that hasn't been resolved with any rom

Well, i love HTC's sense but sometimes i get bored with it.. i always have ADWex on mine, use Home switcher if boredom gets in... i

Scrollable Wallpaper = Launcher Pro Plus, Dunno why you'd want to switch back to Rosie though. Get beautiful widgets + Animation package from the market if you really miss having windshield wipers eat your battery when it's raining and all those other animations. And it's already been mentioned that most of the things on your wishlist already exist.
If you want better sound you should write HTC and ask them to send you a pair of BEATZ audio headphones, it should be covered under warranty now amiright!? =P
JK but SRS BZNS but some ROMS actually do have external speaker volume boosted, and whilst volume plus has been reported as a battery drainer, or a legit solution or some combination of both by others, there are some DSP packs and at least music players (like Player Pro) who's extended EQ settings come with a Pre-Amp that does a pretty good job if you have half-way decent headphones.
Also, you might want to just edit the gain of your MP3's to normalize them around 89 decibels or higher if you prefer.
What's on my wish-list you say? Support the devs monetarily and thank them for their hard work, methinks it goes further than these threads can.

Is there other voodoo kernals besides fauk123?

I really wish the CM7 team would integrate the voodoo functionality into the standard CM7 kernel.
Is there a reason not this hasn't been done already (other than someone just not getting around to it yet)?

Whoops, hit thanks instead of quote. This is what happens when I leave late for work and don't have my morning coffee
I believe the reason is the author requested it be pulled, he didn't like the implementation of it on the g2x. (I believe this is in part due to the fact that nvidia hasn't released source they need to make it work 100%)
I've found that voodoo on the g2x was a placebo at best. Sure, it made it louder, but the dynamic range seemed to lessen (especially on the high end) when using it. On devices that have it implemented properly, it's a beautiful audio engine, however.
(I could be wrong on this, it's second hand info at best, so feel free to correct me.)

Thanks for the info. Makes allot more sense now.

Survey says: Ideal ROM should have...

...what?
I noticed that it generally is a request randomly for this feature or that option, or requests within dev threads themselves or random threads entirely (off topic type 'wouldn't this be cool!')
So what would be cool?
What's on the wish list?
For me i'd love to experience two things:
USB OTG. My S3 broke it for me. Not having it at all was fine, but after integrating that function so fully into my Android life being without it is ...beyond words.
Second thing i'd like is to have the tv-out be an additional display instead of a mirrored display. Plugging into a bigger screen is absolutely awesome - but sometimes it would be nice to have the option of increasing my digital work space instead of just seeing it bigger.
...so not exactly easy things to start us off with, but anything goes.
What do you guys want out of your ROMs?
Maybe this can help inspire devs to include popular ideas by moving the suggestions to a neutral place instead of having to search the whole doubleshot forum for random ideas. Maybe become a good place for someone to cruise by looking for something to do.
What do we like?

great idea to post this thread!
im not one in need of too much, but i do like options. i remember when ezterry came up with the yes no binary script to attach to roms/updates i was amazed we could run code during an update that takes over the screen and user input. it took like two years for someone to polish it up and make the aroma installer, now i find that to be a must in roms. being able to adjust so much prior to even installing a rom is amazing to me still.
so yeah, i look for what most else do, stable, good battery life, speed, nice camera, better than stock. so the only thing i would add to the list everyone else has is make a rom as customizable as possible!

Cm9.1 states in OP USB on the go works on experimental kernel

I would LOVE to see a rom with all of the senses. (A lot of data) or at least 3 sense versions. (Still alot) update with the other HTC sense devices. HTC one series of course, 100%. That's it. It doesn't sound like much but even regular HTC device don't have more than 1 sense version on it so. Yea. That's a request highly impossible. But u never know. We have top notch devs over here

OTG would indeed be great.
I also like as many settings as possible--particularly colors and visual stuff. My old G1 had a CM rom that had options for every color and font used, I think, and it was great. You could change the sensitivity of the trackball and all that kind of detail stuff. That level of control is fantastic, and I'd love to have it back.

For me just additional tweaks to the sense 4 ROMs and a full fix for the wifi hotspot is very enough for me

Full backwards compatibility with all apps.
Stable overclock.
The full use of the DS camera.

A rocket pack like Sean Connery uses in Thunderball.
That and a shark with frickin' laser beams coming out of its head.
What would be truly epic is if the laser shark was flying the rocket pack.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
Or maybe JB with stable fast and fully functional interface and a camera that is identical to or better than the stock ds camera.
Might have better luck asking for the flying shark..
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

like some people said above, i feel like for a lot of people, being able to use the full power of this phone's camera is a big thing. and i guess better battery life?

I'll see your humor, and raise to an idea:

There is work being done into using Android in robotics. Also, at cheap retail you can get a remote controlled helicopter with app support for flight control.
We are devs here, so having that app interaction with the remote controlled device is a springboard to what we actually need.
So the helicopter bit gives us the interaction with the device, and the flight aspect with a solid base to build on for what we need.
We can definitely get a laser from overseas that will cut things, in a portable package like a laser pointer.
I'm sure we could build something in the shape of a shark. I'm thinking we can disassemble a doubleshot and use the tv-out function to mirror the screens, then use two for the eyes. (else write a custom home screen that splits in two with a small gap between on the screen, and fit into the shark head behind where the eyes would be.)
Then the processsor and stuff would be where the brain was, and you could install the keyboard to the top or back of the head. Retain the slide mechanism, and you could have it push button slide out of the mouth or something.
So our roadblocks now:
-Shark mold. Still yet to be determined in size based on some requirements:
-Amphibious. It's a shark, right? We need to look into remote control boats and subs to see how to do this.
-Maybe mount a second laser...
Coug76 said:
... a shark with frickin' laser beams coming out of its head...
Click to expand...

...since it was pluralized.
-Some way of targeting the lasers. I'd like to add some manner of aiming, so it needs to be able to move the lasers without moving the machine. Maybe a combination of GPS and accelerometer combined with the camera for output to whatever controller we have so we can make a targeting mechanism.
Lots of prior art exists to make this from so it's about a done deal.
-Power. Power is going to be our biggest issue. The doubleshot is self sufficent, maybe get a couple of mugens and build a docking bay for them where you could plug in 4 or 5 that the doubleshot could use just like the one in the phone while it's on. Heck, we already disassembled it and built the parts into the beast, so this upgrade makes sense. If we can use this battery bank for the rest of the machine - lasers and the flying/swimming bit, then 4 or 5 might not be enough.
-Weight. If it's gonna fly, it's already too heavy with the doubleshot. Add batteries and it's a serious hurdle to overcome. Helicopter blades aren't gonna cut it so this:

...translates the joke into the only logical blueprint to pull it off.
So now we are off to model rockets, and the solid fuel rocket engines. It's okay to refuel a one-burn stage of flight now because that's how that would work. We have many, many years of hobbyist activity to pull from for materials and knowledge.
We can set up a multi-stage flight mechanism and having the doubleshot in the machine allows us to control when those stages ignite, not just one setting off the next.
Hell, we may even be able to fit a rotating barrel or three of engines in the belly of the shark that will serve up stage after stage of engines to be ignited for continued flight. At this point we may very well be looking at orbital capabilities. Why not - go big, right?
Maybe a parachute would be a good thing to incorporate, and being as it's a frickin' shark, we can splash-down for landing somewhere. So play with it by a lake or something. You won't have to go get it, because it can swim, so you just pop out the propeller from the underside-rear, located internally behind the rotating top-serve engines, and drive it to where you are.
Bonus points if on a dock or boat so you don't have to beach it to get it.
(thanks for giving me an outlet for something creative to wander through while printing a ton of pictures)

+ 1 for full camera function. Also, not a huge deal at all, but the CAPS/ALT LEDs function would be nice too.
I might be alone with this one, but I remember in the G1 days, when I press the phone icon to make a call and just start typing the name of a contact, it would automatically search my contacts and start showing matching names, and I could quickly call someone. Some DS ROMs do this, some don't, but it's a cool, quick way to call someone who's not on the recently called list.
Really, I'm just listing the minor things in CM 9.1 that bug me in an otherwise perfect ROM lol
A little off topic, but since we're all speculating: being able to boot from SD card would be boss.
edit: seems this is already possible with an app

Although I know a couple of other things too, something I've just wished is that we could use the original DS camera in any ROM we wanted AND it would be really handy if it came with IR features for pics & video. Upgradable RAM would be a GREAT feature too.....maybe up to 2gb...if you think of just a HW feature.

Why? CM9.1 is improved in almost every way over CM7.

I am also a fan of the bluetooth controller bit. Sixaxis app and a ps3 controller - especially one without the rumble pack - is pretty handy. Remote camera shutter trigger, for one, it's not just good for games.
Also think that codec support for a variety of audio/video filetypes should be built in. Working avi support for one. I have gigs and gigs of video i've shot and converted to avi because over the years digital storage space has not been as prevalent or as cheap as it is today.
One day i'll have everything converted to .mp4, but this is years of home video we are talking about. I'd like to play it to a tv through the device without it crashing sometime in the next calendar year, which won't be happening with having to convert it all to .mp4 first.

No detail too small - and i'd hardly dismiss any part of the hardware not functioning properly as no big thing. I don't think that's being unreasonable?
Sometimes it can be a convoluted process on the dev side to get the most basic of things working right. In the context of a wish list the various little things that bug people, or that they think would be cool to have are the gems this thread is aiming to find.

I like this thread! I agree with most people's answers.
We definitely should have working TV out.
We should have our Alt and Caps light working and all other capabilities of the harware keyboard as it was THE reason I bought this over Sensation at the time of purchase
DS camera should be included or at least an equal or better replacement. Losing face detection, burst shot, panorama, and 1080P is not a step forward.
What I hear people saying is...(or maybe it's just how I feel) our phone has some really great features out of the box and it would be nice if we could take that strong base and develop it further to add more options and tweaks without having to sacrifice the best features of our ROM. Maintaining these features and bringing ICS or JB to the table would be fabulous but honestly, if we just made our own base ROM more feature rich, I could live with that....maybe dress it up with some better themes.
It's those little things missing from ROMs that make me always come back to the stock based ROMs. I just brought Netflix to a friend's house last night by hooking my phone to his TV and I caught him up on Walking Dead. I'll personally take that ability over a few points on a benchmark or something.
Trackpad wake/sleep is another for me. I LOVE that when I'm on a stock based ROM like Bulletproof and MikTouch that when I hear a notifaction sound of a text, I can comfortably hit the trackpad to wake the phone but not unlock, read the text and then put the phone back to sleep with the same button.....same thing when I want to check the time.
It's the little things...
Oh yeah that sixaxis feature that Blue6IX has been hoping for since day one does sound pretty awesome!!

Skyrocket As a Music/Media Player

HI all. A couple of months ago I moved from my skyrocket to an S4.
I am now looking to use my skyrocket solely as a media device - primarily an mp3 player. I plan on removing most of my apps and just downloading something like PowerAmp and then synching my mp3 files to the internal memory.
As such, I am interested in a ROM that is very stable and that may have been optimized for music playback capabilities (for example, I know certain ROMs build in different DSPs, music controls, whatever).
Based on this can anyone please recommend a couple of ROMs that would best suit this purpose for me to go check out? Thanks.

I'm not gonna recommend a specific rom, but I would suggest if using it solely for music to use something compatible with this mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878945. It greatly improves audio. Anything pretty 4.3 should work but read the op.

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of guidance I am looking for.
I know certain ROMs have some audio mods built in...does anyone know of ROMs that have this, or a similar audio mod, already included?

Look through the dev section and pick out something you think you'd like. Audio mods are easy to install, just make sure you follow the directions. The only rom I can remember with a pre-installed audio mod was blinky's revenge, but that's kind of old now and the dev has moved on. Good luck!

I actually have thought about creating a ROM just for that. Remove all phone, messaging stuff and basically make it a media player. Maintain wifi and BT. Add some audio enhancements and so on. Not sure how much interest there would be in that though. I would use it seeing as I do not use my skyrocket as a phone any more.
If I were to give this a go who would all be interested in it??

That's all I used my old SGS 4G for after I got the Rocket. Basically just put it in airplane mode and I could play tunes for over 24 hours on a single charge. It just decided to turn into a paper weight a few weeks ago. I've been using the Rocket for my music needs since then. Seeing as how I am getting another phone soonish I'll keep the Rocket strictly for music. So I would use something like that for sure. Keeping bluetooth and wifi would be great since I can stream to my sound bar with BT. Hell my phone could become my personal home juke box.

I would try it out just for fun even though I am still using my Skyrocket. However I am due for another phone soon.

If I remember I'll try and spin a 'phoneless' build tonight and see if it works.

I've done something like this with an old HTC Evo a buddy had it works well but i don't know where in the source all of the phone bits are to remove so that it can be completely clean. i think this would be a good project given the age of the phone itself.

I'd be all over this now that I've moved on to the G2.

My build environment seems to be borked, so nothing from me yet.

Yes for the skyrocket. It is proving to be more difficult than I thought. It is more AOSP which is not setup for our device at all.
Spending more time on this media player today though.
You can keep up on the progress here: https://bitbucket.org/toyes/manifest
Any suggestions and ideas would be welcome. (Which players, audio mods... etc.)

jetAudi basic has been my go to player for a few years now. It has ten band EQ, sound effects and a preamp already on board. It however doesn't play nicely with King Beatz so just a heads up on that. If your ripping most of the stuff out of system that should leave a lot of room for multiple players. Then people could just choose whichever one they like best and set it as default.

I'm thinking that. Either that or different Zips for different players/mods.. or figure out how to use the aroma installer..
