As a forum member of MIUI for the HTC Evo, I just received a e-mail that states a member of the MIUI development team has received a Photon to try and port the MIUI Rom to it. In my personal opinion, this is effin awesome. Anyone that has used MIUI, it is a very impressive Rom, and to know that one day it will be on the Motorola Photon...big things will be happening!!!
Cool, if he can get a bootable kernel, then we can have CM7 as well!

This is amazing news! Slowly but surely, our diamond-in-the-rough phone is going places! Kernel is getting close, just a little more time.
MIUI is great
Ya really love Miui although never had a phone with fully functional Miui.

warttack is teh dev who got it, but he seems to be banned from miui.us.. not sure on what the story is on all that, regardless i know id certainly love some help from him
If miui cames with 4G that will be great other wise CM is fantastic rom

I do hope things work out. One of the things that I really likes about both the MIUI and CM7 was the theme launcher. being able to change the theme of your phone in a matter or seconds and not have to flash is awesome. Even though I am going through some serious flashing withdraw, I must say, the Photon is a really quick, efficient, and over all great phone fresh out the box. Can it really get any better??? (I'msure it will)

ill tell you what, ill make 7 new accounts and post themed versions of the roms we have now.. then everyone can quit crying about the lack of development..
sgs2 forums they have a BUNCH of stock based roms
that boild down to this.. deodex'd, zipaligned... and bloat removed.. atda! lol the evo please how many cm7 based roms do they they still have popping up every day?
^.^ amen, I've flashed three great roms, three great themes and all kinda tweaks on my photon in less than two months time.
Thanks photon devs.....
And now we have this

well said...when I was on the Evo forum there were five variations of the same style Rom with small differences...not dissing the devs at all...they all did great work....it really narrowed down to 3 types...CM7,MIUI, or a sense style Rom...MIUI was my favorite...I believe the Photon is to dope of a phone to be ignored... I'm positive Roms will be created and the haters will just be haters...

Rooting the phone is always worth it
In my opinion its the best phone on the market and the toms are ok now great like 4th bar sense I like a lot xborader and other are working on a very slow moving aosp ics but its the only aosp we have and but its all sense roms also bulletproof and energy are nice

Once you root make sure to install faux's kernel, its a significant battery booster!!

Hi mysticfrog and welcome bro!
Yes, The screen of the Amaze 4g is larger but not emolated (amolated?) and I've had no problems at all with Gingerbread nor with HTC Sense 3.0
The bloatware is there on this phone.
If you root your phone, it voids the warrantee btw.
The Amaze 4G IS slated for the ICS 4.0 upgrade & HTC Sence 3.5/3.6 probably in march. If not then your guess is as good as mine.
Insofar as ROM's are concerned, I don't know. As around.
Finally, You might want to reconsider this phone, as Google wants phone developers to come out with phones that don't have physical buttons!
ICS and Jellybean, I presume, are on phone which have physical buttons but the new Google phone only has on-screen buttons like the Iphone.
If I were you and I could wait till later on this year, I'd wait man.

WEll i can play with this one for 20 days.. from the specs it seemed like the phone to get.. i appreciate the input bro.. im just kinda bored with the sgs4g.. but having said that the devs over there are pretty awsome.. i just wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want a galaxy s 2..
I put NRG's ROM on to it. It is really nice, smooth and has many useful features!
If you wanna buy accessories, I'd recommend buying an Anker battery, a TPU case (i bought one for $3 on eBay), car charger and you should be good to go!
Alright guys I've got the amaze.. Im at work at the moment.. I just got one last question..
is the development of this phone going to slowly increase? Cause i do believe t mobile is the only one that has a phone of this juncture..
I've read ALOT on these posts were ALOT of people are not happy with the development.. Im not trying to get flamed for this question im just wanting to be with this product for the long haul and im just wanting to make certain that i made the right decision.. I've read the reviews all weekend so i do like the phone from that perspective.. Im just wondering about the development aspect of it all.. I just don't want to get it and then see devs leave for another product.. Basically how is the future development looking for this phone.. Thanks all.. Rooting this phone looks pretty easy btw.. I do like that...

If you're a crack flasher, then this device is not for you. I don't think development will pick up much at all... However, I say its the best device also. I don't need heavy development. NRGZ28 made a beautiful and EXTREMELY stable ROM called Energy. It's got all I could need.
Most people are salty about the device because they can't get s off so developers are backing out. We have 4-5 ROM developers, but the nrg ROM is the only one that's as stable as stock imho (but I haven't tried OneGoodROM or Bulletproof since the 2.3.2 update. A lot has changed since that release though.
If you're looking to flash a new ROM each week, then you will not like the device and you may have an addiction. If you're looking for a phone that has a few very stable ROMs to choose from, this is the device for you

How about a positive thread with no flames please
I can not wait for custom roms once we get a boot unlocker tool. All my Android devices are running some sort of custom rom that makes the system so much more smoother and optimized. To many companies these days are adding to much bloatware and tracking that just slows everything down.
I love my Prime and i cant imagine how much better it will get. With a great developer (or team) im sure they can add features that we all wish for everyday.
Wooohooo! Go Prime!

i know viper is and he's an amazing devs. I'm running his rom in my evo 3d right now.
you know I had a milestone 2, it had a locked bootloader but they were making roms for it. I for one can not wait to throw cm9 on this b*&ch.
I also feel like I am not trully using the power under the hood of this machine. I gave up my laptop for this and I am sort of bored with this right now

I have been running scotts rom for a while, but I just shattered my screen on my E3D yesterday. When I receive my new one tomorrow I will try out his rom. I am hoping that it doesn't come with the Hboot 1.5, I declined it being activated on arrival to help alleviate it. I am on it right now and it sucks to flash stuff. I hate being tethered to a PC to do anything.
I think the Prime has a lot of potential. I actually own a Xoom and a Prime and the xoom sometimes is much smoother than the prime because it's running a custom rom and kernel (overclocke to 1.5ghz) and still has great battery. I think the devs could fix all the transformer prime bugs very easy

Sorry for the probably dumb question, but I have a G2X now with CM9 ICS and it rocks. I need some money and have to decide whether to sell the Amaze or G2X.
I really love the device features of the Amaze, but am really bummed out with the HTC has approached to development of it.
I believe the devs need a kernal source to get the radios working and everything working correctly.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
didnt they do it with out source code on the defy?
If we had a good kernel dev who was willing to put a week into making an aosp ics kernel, it'd be done.
Our only kernel dev is busy.
The Rom devs who are working on porting it are fine untill they hit the part when they need to start editing and hacking away at the kernel. Their basically just flying blind.

Honestly, just like we did for S-OFF, if we can get a pool together, for someone to work on a Kernel, we will attract many devs.
Hell it might just give Max Krivonos more incentive to finish his CM9
If devs won't come to the device willingly, we'll shove some money down their throat and force them to [email protected]!
well i just cant decide what i want to keep.
CM9/ICS on this G2X is just SICK, if it just had the 1gb of ram this decision would be so much easier.
The Amaze wins!

What? You have both G2X and Amaze and contemplating about which to keep? To me, I obviously keep the Amaze and customize it to be better than the CM9. I had a G2X for a week and exchanged it to the Amaze and never looked back. The G2X felt way too cheapy for my taste.
I still keep my old G2 (not the returned G2X) and upgrade it, whenever I feel like to, to the latest CM9 nightlies for a fun of it. But I just think the Amaze with ICS is much better in every aspect. Heck, customized GB on the Amaze was not bad at all, either. So I am not even sure whether I would flash CM9 when/if it is available for the Amaze.
Probably you should list what features you like about CM9 here and have people suggest how to get it on the Amaze.
true, but CM9 ICS on the GX2 is VERY SLICK

If the phone hardware and features isn't important to you I can sell you my old vibrant- it has a smooth cm9.. but I think you'd be overlooking what are the most important features to most people in phones. Sure, CM9 is great, but people don't typically buy phones for cm9. There are devs working on these things, but you must think it is a much simpler process than it actually is.. I'm making a nandroid of my setup right now so I can help mess with either getting cm9 fixed, or miui ported, or something to give us better than stock.. but you should know as well as I do, it is likely that just as you sell the amaze it will happen - or soon after.
It will happen, you just have to be patient.. or you can just keep the inferior phone and regret it later.
I do not think it is simple at all, or it would already be done.
I wasnt sure if it was a matter of time on the dev's part or if we were still hoping HTC would release stuff to even make it possible.
I have no problem waiting, but since I dont know much about developing, I wasnt sure if it would even happen since HTC are stingy bastards
I'm becoming a lot more experienced with kernels I am making some progress but slow goes the boat

Well I cannot take the RAZR M any longer. I am trading for a Inc4g in the next few days. Just wanted to say hello and look forward to coming back to the Inc brand. Also can't wait to see what is cooking in development. Justin's viper was the goto ROM on my inc2.

welcome back to the incredibles!

Well good to know I made a good decision about the Razr M. That was the other device I was considering but matching it up spec-wise with the Inc4g..
just seemed like Inc4g was the better device for the form factor.
No other device seemed to compare and I decided not to wait for the Galaxy S4 Mini.

Don't get me wrong. The M is a great device. I just cannot get into Motorola. The UI lags like crazy. It is extremely difficult to transfer thing from internal to external memory. Also that gorilla glass screen scratched way to easy. My first day I scratched the screen while it was in my pocket.
