G4...I don't understand - G4

I'm lucky enough to have a G3, but i never understood the G4...what's the point in them? What are the actual differences? I've not seen an explanation anywhere.
Lol, not to offend any G4 owners.

It is a security by HTC so people like us cannot load different roms on it. Loading cooked roms on your HTC is not prefered by HTC, they rather have you buy something new..........that is the difference.

[Q] Evo 3D to the official android 4.1, is it possible?

Is HTC Android 4.1 update will do for your device? It seems to me that this company is very neglected futuristic, I would like to know if you do something on the other phones than the ones that now sell ..... Does anyone have knowledge about this? because the manufacturer's support page gives me the answer "Unfortunately I do not have such information, but I can still help you?" I thought the pile instead of lg or htc smsunga this case will look different, but it turns out that the Korean company is on track to attract users, feels neglected by HTC, and the very next box while I wonder. Sorry for my english: (
Officially? Maybe. Blood, sweat and tears by fellow XDAins, absolutely.
Officially? NO!

Huh? I believe you are talking about the carriers updating their newer phones first, which is exactly what they do. There is no point in spending
money to update an old phone that isn't even sold anymore.
Its not official but I doubt it will happen
Yeah, it's not looking good for our phone for an official release.
But its not SO hopeless, because we already have really good cm10, aokp, PA roms with android jb and they dont have very much bugs, we also have android 4.2 roms(buggy, but still), AND some devs are veery close to booting sense 4+ , the only thing that wont be inside is 3D cam and some 3D features.(I hope to be proven wrong about 3D)

Things to know before buying a HTC OneX+/ Tips and pointers?

Hi
I am looking for a new device since my old Defy has done it's part... well to much.. going from Froyo where Moto left it ,to stable everyday JellyBean and custom kernels while dealing with an unlocked bootloader.
But enough of that. I am considering the One X+ because it looks great and i am looking at a price cut in the near future for this device from my carrier. Also i think it delivers on the power end. 1 GB RAM should be enough right?
Any issues this devices has and i can face?[
B] Any issues regarding carrier locked bootloaders?[/B] < this is very important. I want to flash custom Roms. I have had CM7,9,10 over the last 2 years i grew accustomed to it. If Sense does not cut it i would very much consider this.
I can chech if my carrier imposed some lockdowns of course, see what ROM it has. I just want to know if i can unlock it. I am not looking for carrier unlock as much as i am for Bootloader and being able to install whatever i want on it.
Thanks in advance. Any pointers are much appreciated.
You can unlock the bootloader using htcdev so no real issues there as far as I know.
thanks. And regarding the device? Any issues i could run into?

Just make sure you keep your eye on what roms, recoveries, and kernels are for international and which ones are for AT&T/Telus. The two types of HOX+ are essentially different devices and so the roms/kernels/recoveries are not cross-compatible for the time being.

yeah this is the only problem that i find annoying. being on ATT there arent very many roms just yet, but hopefully that will change
Ok course i will read everything before buying if decide on this phone. I don't choose one lightly. Thanks for the tips guys.
I am thinking about buying One X+ rather than Nexus 4... I just hope someone will port latest RootBox for it

Salam Mahdi,
That is the old update to ICS that we already have. There is no need to update as everyone is on the latest firmware anyway. HTC is never going to update the Amaze. It's long dead. RIP. You know it's dead when it's completely removed from HTC's main website. :crying:
Also, HTC only has 100 people creating updates to HTC Sense. No wonder it takes forever. A lot of staff also QUIT HTC, it's a doomed company.
Also, the general rule of software updates is to NEVER UPDATE WHEN ROOTED!!!! You might brick your device or break something. Whenever something gets updated developers pick apart the update and just make it flashable for us. If you wanted to update something you would have to unroot, re-lock and then flash a RUU to get back to complete stock. Then you'd have to update manually. But there is no need as this phone is at the latest firmware.

No problem.
It's actually "you're" and not "u're" lol.
Using the word "you" instead of "u" sounds more professional.
I think the Amaze is on it's deathbed now. It never was a famous device to begin with, nor did it last. It still lived up to it's name, it was on par with the One S (except the One S had a more up-to-date chip at the time). It was HTC's putrid attempt to fix the Sensation's RAM issues by releasing a new device, but they killed both the Sensation and the Amaze in a few short months! This is why HTC is stupid in my opinion and suffers financially. If HTC cared about their users they would at least give us and Sensation owners stock 4.1.2 Jellybean like Samsung did in the Galaxy S III I think you should upgrade to a better phone when you have money. :good:
I'm going to develop for the Amaze again when the ION kernel comes out (maybe it won't even come out cause everyone is too busy :laugh: ).
But time will tell what will happen. There have been all sorts of crazy things in our forum.

Yes it's on 3.2 now. It's as stable as a BOULDER! There is not much left to do to that ROM. I might bake something later when I get time. It's a nice stable stock-look ROM to always fall back on.

The problem is that HTC doesn't care, and Qualcomm doesn't support the chipset any longer!
Luckily, an ION kernel from a dev like Sportsstar (there's others working on it too!) would let us port Sense 5 or Sense 4! And JB Sense 4.5. That would be the rebirth of the Amaze. Until then, we're in a sinking hole.
thank you guys, you'll find a way, i know it

yup...I think a lot of people didn't see the M9 as a real upgrade to the M8 and only for those who didn't jump from M7 to M8 combined with the horrible press about the overheating (I've yet to experience) and camera (love the camera updates for what I use it for) and whining about it not being 4k (seriously, who needs that on a phone?) means it's not been a very popular device.
Screw 'em...I think it's a huge upgrade from the M7, especially the camera (even in it's original iteration).
Many thanks to @OMJ @benny3 and @chas123 for supporting this device.

This maybe true but another thing to point out is that this phone is so complete that there is hardly anything left to mod or add. I'm mean the only thing left for you to add to the phone is to add the 5.1 update to your ROM. Other then that your ROM is so complete its been on REV 24 for over a month with nothing else to add or tweak. Of course there is the point you already made that this phone being so close to the M8 that your ROM was already matured through the M8 days.

I could agree, but I'm still looking for a CM/AOSP flavor to rock on mine... And not to mention before the latest updates, we could still flash all those feature loaded ROMs. But lately, I'm hesitant to flash anything other than BadBoyz.

This is especially true when it comes to theming. You pretty much can theme it the way you want very easy. Im not a big themer or theme design, this latest Android 5.1 is very difficult to theme. Since its still new quite a bunch of apks are not compiling correctly and im not that skilled yet or have the time lately to figure out why, LOL. Other then the Viper Theming threads not much Theming has been going on throughout all HTC M9 versions.
You are better running badboyz for sprint, our firmware is extremely sensitive and with so many international versions using their base, our lte issues arrise of we aren't using a rom that supports our phone properly.

Traded my flex2 for a HTC One m9, rooted it, unlocked it, and then I installed badboyz the very first day. Love it. I'm so used to having cm/aosp on all my devices and I customize the crap out of them but I have to say that I have hardly seen any lag or performance issues on this phone. The phone gets pretty warm when doing heavy tasks like playing a game and what not but I don't find it any different then other devices doing the same tasks.
Either way, I love the m9. It's a well built solid device. I jumped at the chance to trade haha. Their loss

I will say this is probably the least active forum I have seen out of all the HTC's I have own which is every flagship for Sprint since the evo 4G (even going back to TP1 & TP2). That being said, OMJ's badboyz is awesome I have been using it since I got the phone. There is also no red text hboot and custom splash screens just like my M8 had. I like this phone, while really not much different from my M8 besides the camera it's not as big of fail as people make it out to be. I'm hoping the M10 is a nice refresh and hopefully HTC is done with trying camera gimmicks. I would like to see higher resolution screen next year & wireless charging.

The majority goes on in the overall m9 forum and not sprint as I guess devs don't want to check multiple forums.
Sent from my 0PJA2 using XDA Free mobile app
I really don't see where development is lacking. As many have said there are quite a few roms in the main m9 forum that offer sprint support. If you look at the cm development device tree sprint support is added. What's missing?
LeeDroid, and Insertcoin drains horrible.......... lol any suggestion?

Unbrand the LG V10

Is it possible to totally remove all T-Mobile branding and simply flash the stock ROM (where to find?), which the unbranded LG V10 has, so as to get OTA updates directly from LG and not having to wait for T-Mobile? (My V10 has no SIM-Lock)
Turn a branded V10 into an unbranded V10...
Has anyone seen a thread or website with instructions?
Thanks!~

The problem with this is, the unbranded models are European /Asian market phone, which more than likely won't work on t-mobile network, but there is this really cool thing I do, which is called "Uninstalling apps" or "debloating" which gets rid of all tmobile related apps and bloat... So it's just like an LG phone then...
And to flash such a rom you would have to be unlocked, with a custom recovery which keeps you from getting OTA updates anyway... So I guess to answer your questions, no, no, no, no, & ummmm no.
Common sense isn't all that common...
My ROM is as close to unbranded as you're going to get. You can find it in the Android Development section.

There is nothing I want to do today, that I can't achieve with a few tricks. I'd like to play with Doze, maybe get the fingerprint reader to improve. Its already the best portable music server, I've ever used. I can access my work network and my home pc smoothly. The T-Mobile stuff doesn't bug me that much. Their network doesn't suck compared to my previous phones (going back 10 years). So..... patience is rewarded or I can jump to the Galaxy 7 edge in a few months.
