which is the best light, fast and smoothest rom available for htc chacha. stability and battery concerned.
I hate to blow my own trumpet but I'd recommend this one
^^what that guy said
I'll toot his horn too. I'm a new member of this forum, and just started using this guy's rom. Nice, fast, and free of a lot of pre-installed clutter. Also, easy to install.

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the ROM
Just a couple of questions, so I hope you see this because I haven't posted ten times yet...
#1 no American or Canadian English setting (on initial setup, and under language settings)
#2 where's the Beats Audio?
Still love it, though. Noticeable difference in speed without background apps, and much better internal storage. Also, mildly improved battery life.

It's based on the stock EU ROM, so no, there's no American or Canadian English. I could add them but it'd add to the size of the system or no real reason. I'm sure you can live with the Queen's English
The Beats Audio doesn't show up anywhere in the UI, it just works its magic in the background. I even notice a difference when I use it with my cheap £20 eBay headphones so I know it's working
If you've seen other ROMs with the Beats Audio showing up as a setting on the UI, that's probably because they have the Music app from ROMs of newer phones. I might see if I can get that ported to my ROM now, come to think of it. Thanks for that idea
P.S. to further improve battery life, go to your sound settings and turn off all the sensor based stuff if you haven't already, that makes quite a difference!
Hmmm...haven't noticed a difference with my 20 buck Panasonics, or in my car, though that's with an FM transmitter (a good one, though).
I guess I'll live with the Queen's English, though the patriotic side of me cringes, eh?...
Weird, maybe it depends on the music you listen to. Stuff with heavy bass sounds better at least
God save our gracious Queeeeen
I just tried to stick the /system/apps folder from a Sensation XE onto my ChaCha... The ChaCha didn't like it too much. I'll experiment more later, see what I can get working. Looking around the XE ROM, there's certainly stuff here which shows whether or not Beats is working in the actual UI, so I might add some of that in if it plays nice with the ChaCha.
Cool! Thanks for all your work. Is it possible to move these posts to your thread in the development forum, so others can see what's going on?

To confirm, I am going to try and implement a fix to the dialler bug this week when I continue work on my ROM. My first priority is Aroma at the moment but it's on my list of things to do.

Glad to hear that. Ur ROM was my 1st ROM i installed after Root this device.
Original ROM is good for user who have less experience in Android or someone love Sense UI of HTC. CM7 is only good for Tech guys.
Stock ROM feel on CM7?
I have been using Chacha for almost half year now, and I like it to core. Have tried almost all ROMs so far. CWM's backup/restore functionality is pure bliss. At times when your hands are itchy, go ahead, mess up your system, do all your experiments. When done, just restore and you are back to your normal mood! Excellent!!
About the ROMs, I try them a lot, but finally do settle down to ROMs based on stock, as my daily ROMS. These are ROMS which I try my own with some experimental versions, or ones available here like from Hexgore . The reason is, there are quite a bunch of apps on Stock ROMS which are perfectly tuned for Chacha's small screen, and hence I find them more efficient than other alternative apps. Here are apps I find too good and difficult to part from.
Mail App
Dialer App
Messages App
I agree that there would be a lot better apps (like K9 for mail). But the easy of bigger icons, easy to tap organization of icons, just make be feel to stay with this mail app.
Now, coming to point, Will it be possible to get these apps work in non-Stock environment. Similar to Gapps package, if we can get to package these apps, it will be great.
I myself, will try these experiments one by one, and report my observations. But just would like to know if there are any like-minded people like me. Please comment. Thanks.
This is my 2nd port and I'm still a newbie so please guide me along if I made any mistakes.
This time I've made a totally new MIUI 2.3.7 ROM which has beats audio implemented with Poweramp Music Player, at the same time battery efficient and smooth
Screenshots will be up later.
This ROM is fully tweaked to the max and it also includes Sony's Bravia Engine, XLoud Engine, And Motorola's Crystal Talk (may contain bugs).
So.. Hope You Enjoy This ROM and give a Thanks and Review This ROM!
FYI: Some part of the system has chinese words like the 4 in 1 reboot and status bar(just do a normal reboot and it will be fine). So if anyone knows how to edit it mind letting me know? Thanks

It has ICS inside but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe later you can try it out and maybe tell me where is the problem located?
Easiest way would be to just start off with working ICS ROM and modify it to your liking.

But the crucial thing that I think is the most important is the camera. If a camera doesn't work ( For Me ), how am I supposed to capture what I liked most and during those memorable moments?
And 2nd thing, I couldn't get the beats audio mod to work on ICS for some weird reason.

if u port Existz latest base to miui, im sure 480p will work since he got 480p to work.
Yes Xloud is said to be damaging the speakers. In case of Camera I think it does work, 480p should work. You could just take an AOSP ROM and apply MIUI interface.
Until we have official ics I know I at least would prefer gb miui. I've tried blind's and dekky's ics miui and not fully working. Will test when uploaded

Don't Worry. The Aroma Installer allows you to choose if you want to add in the mod or not. So you can ignore the XLoud Engine If you want.

I'm trying to make this ROM able to have GB and ICS at the same ROM so that people can get to choose to pick what they want but couldn't get it working. So maybe after I upload mind helping me through?
Just tested ... great rom but it is not fully translated... a lot of chinese... but really smooth
with translation you might look into BART, an app that helps translating any rom to any language.http://www.xda-developers.com/android/b-a-r-t-helps-you-translate-android-roms-the-easy-way/
In case of giving people the choice I think it would rather be proof of concept than any use. When you are looking for a ROM you know whether you want GB or ICS. What you are proposing is great as a concept, I admire your creativity and ambition, but in reality you will be forced to download two ROM packages at once regardless to whether you want it or not.
For BEATS try using ...Awesome...'s package, it's AwesomeBEATS, you can find it in DHD Development Forum. I tried it on ICS and it worked.

I wanted to have GB and ICS selection in one rom because for me sometimes I find that ICS starts to becomes uncomfortable for me (not for IceColdSandwich which I always uses its test roms and works great) and also some apps always have problems on ICS.
So I want to allow the user to be able to just choose what they want and if they feel like ICS is not what they want(as it cannot fully theme) they could just go to recovery, flash this ROM again and just choose GB. And normally 2 MIUI ROM would just take up around 200-300MB, which is around the same as any Sense ROM.
However, thanks for the B.A.R.T link. Downloading now and will get most of it translated
need screenshots?
Give me a few minutes trying to translate the whole ROM as well as deodex-ing the rom
Did anyone manage to install this? Mine just doesn't install things, no errors or anything, after reboot just prompts me to install again!
Yep same thing for me

It's temperamental. So, sadly I can't tell you how to get it to work. I will say the sound improvement is marginal after listening a bit more, not nearly as good on RAZRi as on later phones. May be a hardware limitation. Did you open it after installation, check speaker and/or headphone, and get asked for and successfully install the drivers (being rooted on your RAZRi - essential). Many people have a problem here though I had no problem. The Guide to set up I used is here, and I've kept to the "model" settings so far: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=43.
A lot of people have problems with getting it working, though. And there is no simple solution. If you can make it a system app, that can help, though I've not found it necessary, as can checking force Viper. The blog above again gives the only published advice that I'm aware of. Sorry, and good luck.
UPDATE:
the app Viper4audio, it can support 86x plataform...i installed today and it works like charm...

Hey guys, I'm planning to buy this phone because I found a great deal and I really love the phone after watching reviews. But I'd like to have some advice. What are your experiences with the device? My main concerns are display, camera and battery. Also, I noticed It doesn't have much support from devs, which is very important to me. I saw there's a cm12 ROM. How does it work? Is it smooth? Bugs? Also any chance of getting cm13?
Thank you guys, I'd really appreciate some help!!

This is my honest opinion coming from a Nexus 6 (RIP)
This phone is actually not bad, battery life is good, camera is good to me in good lighting.
Display is excellent in my opinion.
One, two or three Roms is better than none.
CM is pretty stable and smooth for daily use, just make sure you follow the install instructions.
But just like any Roms out there, there's always gonna be bugs lol
There will be Cm13 as soon a few minor bugs has been fix.
No need to move on quick without taking care of those first that way we'll have a better experience on Marshmallow
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. I think the hardware is ok, I come from a Galaxy S3 so I don't expect too much from it. What I really love is the processor and RAM. But the most important to me is being able to run cyanogenmod. So there is no limitation in terms of rom development? Lack of sources or something? And by bugs I meant important bugs like nfc not working etc.
Thank you again!!

Well,sources arent a problem!
And the current bug is the fact that the phone isnt "reversible" anymore on CM(only one side-the upper one-can be used for calls),and that the dual sim variant has to settle with using only one sim(for now).
As for the roms,there are CM,Vanir and AICP,and I am working on bringing even more roms.
But I suggest buying this device only if you are planning on buying the 5.5 inch variant,and not the 4.7 inch one.
I am glad roms work without major issues. I'd even try to build some if it's not too difficult for me(I'm a begginer dev). And yeah, I bought the 5.5 variant, waiting for it to arrive. I think the phone is great, the only downside I find is the video recording. Anyway I don't use that too much.
i got 6039
display, speakers, sound on headphones, performance, call sound quality - verry good
camera is good on sunny days. indoors hdr a little help. but there is one small fault - volume microphone. its too quiet from videos or dictaphone . does not apply to calls.
Screen resolution, speakers and ease of use is great on this device.
Can be a little laggy, but not too bad. For $200, it's a great deal for the money. It's no Samsung G6 or an iPhone 6, but it'll hang with all the other mid range phones.
Just be sure to be careful of the glass screen, is vulnerable to crack and a repair will set you back $100 unless you can fix it yourself.
I can only recommended it if you plan to install CM or other custom ROM. Stock ROM lags. Make sure you also flash the camera MOD from @Androidcid. Phone has band 12 but not sure that it works when used on T-Mobile.

I don't know is it just the 5.5" variant, but I've seen few devices running on the same SoC and they stutter way more than my 4,7" variant on the SD 410. So if you already unsure if you should get one,get the smaller one. The display is good, the sound is amazing and the camera is meh, it gets the job done. As for the battery, I usually get 4h and 30min SOT,when it hits under 20% .
Thank you guys, I already have the 5.5 variant on my hand and I have to say it's awesome, the display is great, and it's super light for its size. I installed NOVA launcher and the device is pretty smooth. But I'm really disappointed with the camera, it's just awful. I'm really struggling to get any detail on people's face even with flash. Does it also happen to you guys?
In my opinion the camera is quite correct for the price. I think the word "awful" is a bit exaggerated.

I don't know if it's because I updated the firmware, but now the camera performs much better than when I first tested it. This is an awesome device!
BTW, do you know if I can take RAW pictures somehow?
I see there are many variants of this device. Mine is 6045Y. What is the difference between them?
For the camera : yes since the update it performs much better.
For the raw pictures : I don't know, I'm an "awful" photographer.
