any devs going to the Amaze 4g?

so im finally making the switch to a duel core phone, and decided to go with the HTC amaze 4g. i like samsung but there phones seem so flimsy to me, touchwiz is awful and m experience with the galaxy s was a weird one. anyways...i was just wondering if any of our favorite devs are moving/planning on moving or deving on the amaze. I have loved the development on this phone and have grown fond of the work of certain devs, (faux123, team royal, and TDJ). after seeing that tdj moved to the SGS2, it almost made me want to throw my amaze on craigslist, although i saw Faux wich made me happy ha. anyways i hope i see development on that phone as good as the mt4g was/has been.

Faux123 has an amaze but there is no s-off so no roms for s-on devices. Tdj and royalknight aka darkside dev team went to the sgs2. Your best bet is the amaze if you don't mind waiting for s-off

Not true. For the amaze you don't need s-off. All you need is an unlocked bootloader. I bought my girl the amaze because her mt4g broke. Unfortunately it came s-on (some people will be lucky enough and have s-off already when when receiving their amaze) so the same week I bought her the phone, I unlocked the bootloader. Its almost the same as s-off. I was able to grant her permroot and she can even flash custom roms and kernels. I already debloated her amaze and added a custom battery, tether and have setcpu running on it to get better battery life.
At this moment I'm researching on which custom rom is best for her so I can flash.
So if you lurk the amaze forum you'll see they have a few selection on custom roms, kernels and mods.

I saw different pics of the ville and don't know which ones are the actual pics for it. One of them looked a lot like the galaxy nexus and the other one just looked like crap.
And how did you guys find out about this phone? This is the first time i've heard of it.

Yea.I bought my amaze off contract so when my contract is up for renewal ill sell the amaze and get the next best thing in Q4 of this year...that's when all the best stuff comes out anyways

where'd you buy yours and how much? Just wondering cause I don't think phones are worth half a grand.

Just got the amaze today.basically a larger mytouch4g.Although it has a higher screen resolution,there isn't that great a difference from the mytouch.the camera is better no doubt.actually,its quite good for a camera.build is solid,yet remains light to the touch.
Sense 3.0 is so much smoother than any sense rom.
its abeautiful phone.
Recently got and unlocked a Sammy infuse.it has a nice Tom selection,which are high quality roms (Zeus) thanks dman,my daughter loves it.
I thought I'd prefer the amaze,but provably should have tried the sgs2.
Amaze is very good though!
Edit:yeah,that extra tenth of an inch on the Samsung phones makes a difference.atleast with the Zeus rom ,the infuse is kickass and so much smoother than any mytouch rom. Yet I made my choice.
Not dissatisfied,but miss that butter from the Sammy.

Huawei is actually pretty good, aside from their low end piece of **** phones they originally released (Their original Ascend didn't even have a freaking GPU -_-).

6 months on and My Sensation xe is

Still BOSS 8)
Rock solid,
Beautiful screen
Great sounds
Does everything
Rooted
Running CM9
Very smooth and fast.
Makes the iPhones look positively dinosauric
Absolutely no need to upgrade either.
ADORE
A very nice posting from my brick

Totally agree
Have no plans on changing my Sensation this year, as it does everything i need.
All these 2012 Smartphones don't really offer anything that makes me want to change.

Had mine for 3 months now and looks like I made the right decision absolutely love it look forward to many more months of awesomeness from this phone

A very nice posting from my brick

Love the phone! Had a iPhone a few weeks when my sensation was on service (dust inside the display, got a brand new display for free )
After using a laggy iphone, I realized how much i love the sensation.
It's a sensation... Easy as that.

Same here. My Sensation is 6 1/2 months old, it has no scratches and still looks and feels like on the first day. It's an awesome phone, but the ability to run CM9 makes it still more awesome

I am also running CM9 and got it clocked at 1ghz and hahaha even at this speed is super smooth.
I am really glad that we got CM9, it would be hard to get a phone that doesn't get CM9 support to be honest because these companies overlays are full of bloatware and drain battery super quickly.
The real problem with HTC phones is Sense. I got to have it at like 1.7 to be smooth but then the battery sucks really bad. Then if I clock down to about 1.2 which is when I notice a battery difference, it's all choppy and stuttery.
Just yesterday I played with an HTC One S and I don't really envy anything about it.
And I too feel the same way as a previous poster and that is that I don't feel the need to upgrade.
CM9 + Sensation= Fast, Smooth, Great battery life.

Go to the Android development section, the thread is called Open Sensation. Should be on either the first or second page.
Your phone needs to be rooted and S-OFF, and you need to have the ICS firmware. Flash through recovery after complete wipe, and enjoy.

Having bad temptation.

I was offered a brand new galaxy note, and I am very tempted, I don't want to be, and but my geek self and love for big phones can't help it.
Basically just wanting to come firm once we get source will think some cm9, and aokp, and miui, be running 100%.
I am loving this phone, buy I have a ln issue with keeping phones, lol.
Any info/opinions would be great.

Flash CM9 its very stable now, I'm running it.

Really depends on what you want. I currently own both devices and dev for the note. The one x is a better phone in my opinion in all aspects. If the one x had the same screen as the note I'd sell my note in a heartbeat. No source is needed for good cm9 or aokp. Note doesn't even have official ics and we have cm9 aokp miui and paranoidandroid

Thanks for this, I think that's all I needed. Do we have paranoidandroid? Or it that coming soon?
If anyone else has an opinion please feel free to share.
I can't use cm9 until the camcorder works, we are expecting a baby any day now.

That would be sweet I have heard it rocks.
Another reason I haven't went to cm9 is I don't like the button mapping, and haven't been able to map it back myself, not that I have tried very hard.

I traded my galaxy note for the one x and I do miss the screen size of the note but love the one x so much more it's the little features that make me love it like being able to forward my text and email to my work phone right out the box and the camera on the one x is to me the best camera on any phone and to me the one x just seems to run smoother and I have not even rooted mine I have had it for about 2 weeks and love just running stock that's just my 2 cents
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Once we get Kernel Source It will be all over. I see great things ahead for this device. No way would swap it for a Note.

you posted in a htc one x forum, of course we will say no... lol

I just got the One X last week and I'm loving it. I switched from Sprint to AT&T, so my choices were between the Note and One. They're both awesome and I was very tempted by the large screen, but in terms of performance the One X wins hands down. And my inner geek forced me to go for performance.
(Of course, I run xmonad on my laptop for the performance over beauty rationale too. lol)
BTW, I just flashed CM9 alpha5 and it's pretty sweet so far.

I switched from a note to a hox (on day 30!) And I don't regret it at all. The screen size was nice and the pen was fun but I'm really liking the one x. I came from an iPhone and had no clue what Android was about. The guy who was helping me when I initially got the note recommended the one x but all I could think about was the big screen of the note. I'm glad I had those 30 days for the exchange!

I have both devices and don't get me wrong, the big screen is kinda cool but it doesn't touch the One X. If I had to choose it would be the One X all the way.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

If AT&T's note had the Exynos and not the S3 it would have been a tougher decision for me. Thankfully the S3 is pretty weak so I never even considered getting it. I haven't been happier about a phone purchase before. I love my HOX more than I loved my E4GT (one of the best phones ever), and even more than I loved my OG EVO 4G, and that says an awful lot.

I have made up mind, staying with the HOX. Cm9 is coming along nice, and I have done lots of reading the hox will keep me happier.
Thanks everyone.

Smart man Now stop posting in this thread so it dies and we can all forget that you were considering leaving your HOX for an inferior device

You should probably send him over to the Endeavor forum to increase his choices. He can flash one of theirs and tell us how it worked out

That's not funny.

You don't want to stray out of this set of forums. International one x roms could easily brick your phone.

Sorry I could not resist. Back to being a good boy now.

Until we get the kernel source for the 4.0.4 I think sense 4.1 based roms are going to give the best performance and battery life. I do prefer aosp based roms but what is the point if you end up sacrificing all the things that aosp roms are supposed to give you just to get away from sense.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Yea I ended up going with aokp 4.0.4 and well after a day I actually missed some things from sense so went back to my backup
I think the reason I was skeptical of sense was because of touchwiz on my old skyrocket
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

What ROM did you decide on? I flashed pretty much all the available ROMs for our phone and found myself coming back to CleanROM 4.5. The CleanMODS definitely adds value and it's very good on battery too. Usually get about 16hours of moderate use and she's down to about 35% at the end of the day.
Also, Sense 4.0/4.1 is much better than any of the other OEM skins (TouchWIZ, Blurr, etc..) as it's the most intuitive of all the skins. Prefer it to AOSP Android now because it's just as snappy with so much functionality included. Ran AOSP ROMs on my old DZ because Sense 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.5 were all crap and bloated; as soon as Sense 4.0 came out, it was like HTC finally got the message.

+1 for CleanRom.
Do your homework. The ScottsRoms CleanRom 4.5 DE had everything I wanted and nothing else to bog it down.
I'm also an APEX believer now for the fact that it restored my desktop after an upgrade.

The troll is heading back to his bridge!!

So I've received the HTC One S a few days ago (not the One X + because tmobile doesn't like nice phones) and I'm falling in love with it! So I guess this means goodbye, at least for a while. I'm sure this is good news for most lol. If it's any conciliation, the HTC one S development thread is horrible!! It has no personality what so ever and no one objects when others ask for ETAs which is something I've grown to genuinely love about this community Hopefully Bhundven and his team successfully port jelly bean (and have TV out working) but I'm sure a few weeks after, there'll be a mass migration back to ics in favor of a more "stable rom." lol Anywho good luck guys, the Samsung Galaxy S 4g will always be in my heart!

I've also been eyeing that phone... I think the One X is too big, and the One S is much closer to the size of the GS4G, which I like very much. I've also checked out the One S forums, but am still on the fence, especially since my phone works so well with these custom roms, I really don't have a great reason to upgrade, other than trying something new..
please report back how you like it (or send a PM if you don't want to clutter up the board here).

Yeah honestly I can't stress to you how awesome this phone is! The display is super bright, the resolution is also pretty good so don't worry about qhd complaints specially since you're coming from the S 4g display. The camera is professional quality and it preforms well day to day. If you don't like sense you can always install apex or a stock aokp ics rom but I happen to like sense personally specially the widgets and customizations. The rooting method, like for most htc phones, is significantly harder. There is another thing called S-off which has hindered development for the phone. There are still plenty of roms to play around with (including jelly bean!) but the installation is pretty tricky so for instance, you'll need to use a command prompt to flash something called a boot image to install any time and it's easy to brick. There are other new terms you'll need to learn of course. Don't let this scare you. One of the best things is the battery life (Both onscreen and stand by). The sheer performance is out of this world for example it can be over clocked to 2.1 mhz! Trust me when I say you won't regret having this phone! I've even heard from some it's better than the one X

Thanks for the info. I think I may get one off ebay when I come back from vacation. I remember being super scared about flashing my GS4G, but after lots of reading I now flash the phone without thinking, so I'll be sure to read up on the 1S.
if I do end up with a 1S, I'll be sure to offer up my GS4G here for development
