that and they have a much bigger dev coummunity!! SGSII on t-mobile basically swayed many many more people towards it than the amaze, they both came out at the same time...if the amaze would have been released on a different date we would see a different dev community. rezound also has more bling with the beats audio, so more people buy it and it has a 720p screen, same camera as the htc amaze...its a better version of our phone...If I had the money to pay monthly for the verizon plans I would have def gone with the rezound over any phone. I think it's the best phone on the market right now. IMO amaze is the best phone on t-mobile right now.
I think the amaze is sexier though. Lol, freakin rezound man =[

I know this question wasn't directed toward me but I'll answer...
I came from a Blackberry and the Amaze is my first android phone. First day I got it I was hooked and did tons of research on Rooting it (didn't even know what rooting was/is)
Totally hooked now, if I knew about the whole ROM/rooting thing before the amaze, I probably would have went a different route, with a different phone that had more devs.
Ah well, patience is a virtue. Whatever that means!

I understand. The ''hold up'' that HTC has caused with the not releasing source, S-on, etc will pass. When? If HTC keeps it's word and update the Amaze this quarter with ICS, that will definitely breath new life into development.

I had I a mytouch slide, but I began hacking and stuff when my mom wanted froyo on her g1. I liked android soooo I got the slide. After like 9 months the slide began to give me problems, like whenever I slide out the keyboard the screen would get screwed, the volume keys were broken don't ask me why, oh, and I was in my car and it fell on a plastic cup with water. I got the amaze after like 2 weeks after its release, I've watched its development grow

I don't know about that man... Were you impressed with HTC's 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0 for our Amaze right out of the box? 'Cause I wasn't
The only good thing I can see about HTC releasing ICS is so our devs here can use that code to make better custom ROMs since we have no support from CyanogenMod

Coming from the sensation, let's just say my expectations was not met in regards to Sense, but I knew this before I bought the device. That being said, this device is what the sensation was suppose to be in terms of sheer power (1gb RAM, S3 1.5 snapdragon, 2.2 camera sensor, etc.) I'm convinced I made the right decision, HTC just dragging thier a**!

I came from the Hero which had lots of devs, cm support and a great and supportive community. I have to say that I haven't found the Amaze community to be as welcoming and helpful. Half the responses to questions are "do a search." I know I'll get flamed for saying this but I suspect that I'm not alone. I love the Amaze, but I'm beginning to feel like I've chosen the wrong phone.
I really hope that when ICS source is released dev takes off and I'm proven wrong.
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now.
I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like I should have just went with the unlocked version if the galaxy nexus. I hate touchwiz, so it was either amaze or galaxy nexus

I hate TouchWiz too, but even back then when I ran stock on my SGS I just used a third party launcher over it and it worked well... You shouldn't let TouchWiz be a deal breaker for you, especially since you could replace the whole Samsung framework with CyanogenMod

I agree. The Amaze community is somewhat hostile and counter-productive. I know a few devs that I talk to often that feel this way as well. While the redundancy of certain questions can be answered but simply searching, 5 individuals saying search could be avoided if only one of them actually answered the question IMO.
Realistically, I see "do a search" more than I see the actual question being asked or answered.

The reason why we say do a search is because we have 3 threads that are stickied. We have been received the same questions over and over and if you look at these 3 threads, it should answer your question. If it doesn't, then make a thread about it.
[HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G
FAQ for the HTC Amaze 4G. Read Frequently Asked Questions before you post a question!
[READ THIS FIRST]MAC, PC, LINUX Unlock, recovery, root, troubleshoot, camera quality
There should be no reason why you should ignore it. I spent time and effort searching through the whole forum of questions so I can make my FAQ thread. If I did that to make life simple for people, they should atleast take the time to look through it. We put our time and effort to make life simple but people do not choose to read, which aggravates us.
Sorry for sounding like a jacka$$, but I am simply trying to show you why we tell people to search. If they just look at the stickied threads, they will save themselves time as well as ours.

I'm sure this has been noticed and asked prior to this post. We all read the phenomenon in these threads and posts.
Question: Does it seem like some of the best Developers are leaving and moving their work to their own or core group based sites?
Why?
just concerned since I can count more than a few who've left, for whatever reason, in the last 6 months...

Drama I guess. I'm kinda bummed that my old og Evo is more popular for development than my 3d. I thought most would move to the new phone.
It is what it is pimpin. Some leave and some stay. Our forum went through a crazy phase of children being stupid and a little growing pain. But I think we're mostly over that.
But your question has been asked countless times. A quick search would have brought you up to speed.

Did quick search it. Seems to me that either you are in or not. With our phone being difficult to get the basics functional, the practice of running off the guys that move development forward is slowing progress to a crawl.

Yeah, I feel ya man. Annoys the hell out of me sometimes. I know I personally stopped participating in getting on people who harass the devs or intentionally start drama because the mods say that it's not the communities job to do that. It's theirs. But, it is what it is. I'll still be on this phone until my contract is up. Which is a long time, so most of us aren't going anywhere.

So what if its been discussed before? Forum is lacking new threads, this gives us something to talk about.
Instead of *****ing, maybe you should get involve and contribute to the thread in a positive way. Criticize all you want, but at least ad something helpful. Just my 2 sense (get it, sense ;p).
I rather repeat myself then have nothing to talk about.
Anyways I say amaze, I;ve used both phones, I do like the extra devs in the sense but amaze is a solid phone!
what happens when you pick the sensation because of early ics and then when you get it ics just comes out for the amaze? what happens: you feel dumb.
no HW problems? LOOOOOOOOOOOOL. that phone felt like it was about to break everytime I took the battery cover off.
edit: do you think I should sell my amaze for the g1 because it has better development and no HW issues? hmm

Second, I will birch freely because most of us are getting sick of the same ass threads every week. Join Facebook if you want a social network. If you want answers, read the first rule of xda, watch the noob video, and do a search.
Instead of calling me out, call out the mods that made the rules. BTW, that lame ass "sense" pun has also run it's course... Nobody laughs at that any more. Get an original idea and get back to me

ive never had problems taking the back cover off my sensation, nor did i ever feel like it was going to break, its pretty damn sturdy, definitely more so than a sgs2...
however i was super afraid that one day i may drop my amaze and the screen would shatter to ****, after all the raised screen looks cool, but leaves it more exposed and vulnerable to cracking when dropped
and no i hate using cases with any of my phones, i just don't wanna add anymore bulk to an already big phone, and with the sensation i feel like if i accidentally drop it, it'll survive just fine, just like my old mt4g
and since the sensation has been out a lot longer than the amaze, it also means you can get it for a lot cheaper, having ics a little earlier is just a little plus lol

true, each phone has its quirks, but i still think you can't go wrong with either phone imo
I have the Amaze 4G for me the design of the htc sensation is better than the amaze, internals of the amaze, and to me the sensation has better battery life(i'm using the extended anker battery). I got the amaze and haven't looked back though
hey everyone... is development here dead or what? i saw ics was being worked on but got dropped. along with miui, a senseless rom, and others...
is there anything we can do to make more development here?
No development is not dead, if your new here, there are a couple things you should know. First, the dev doing all the work here, xboarder56, was banned I believe, he has his own forum and all of his roms are there. Nrgz28, an awesome dev, has an amazing rom. Faux123 has a kernel for OC/UV. Ics is being worked on by xboarder and a member of the cm team. A sense 4.0 port is on the works by a dev in xboarders forum. So, no, development is not dead. If we want more devs devving here, I think we should do what has been done before, a bounty. I believe someone has spoken to a member of the virtious team.
Edit: sorry, xboarder is working on an aosp build with texasice if you know who he is. And the cm team is working on, well, A cm9 build

Multiple different 3.0 ROMs, a 3.5 and ics in the works. Themes, mods, and toolkits can all be found. Feel free to change custom boot animation if you want. Haven't heard any update on miui.
Not sure I understand your question... What else do you need? Your question "is there anything we can do..." Yes there is something. You could always get s=off for us... There's like a 1k bounty that will reward you for your success.

well i've personally never owned any htc phones. so when i get the amaze 4g, it will be my first. i've made many roms and mods for phones with vanilla android though.
what exactly is s=off and how do you make a htc phone "s=off"?
also, i dont see any boot logo changing threads...
heres my boot logo thread: http://androidforums.com/triumph-al...ed-converter-l-updated-12-29-1-20-pm-est.html

Can't change splash screen without s=off... Only animations. AFAIK, s=off is a security flag put into a system partition to prevent us from flashing new radios, flashing splas screens, or flashing kernels in recovery... HTC has made it more difficult for devs to access this and hack the exploit, so we are for now... Stuck. Team Revolutionary has hacked a few devices, but they don't have an amaze.
It's becoming a pain in the ass. Because the phone is a North American marketed device (vs a world market device)lacks worldwide development... And devs that are in the states that can get the phone don't want it because no s=off.
There's approx a $1k bounty out for whoever hacks it though.... Although nobody seems to be biting on it.
The Amaze forum is a mess... Lol but the phone is a beast.
Edit.... As far as I know, the phone cannot be bricked. I've yet to hear of any "real" brick... Only soft bricks that can be fixed.

its not dead but, I have a feeling its going to be soon. with the discontinuation of the amaze... the parting of xboarder and binary to their own forum. The forum has lost its momentum. what is left from development is from before. compared to the sgsII forum, you can def call the amaze dead on development. yes xboarder is working on ICS and cyanogen is planning of an AOSP rom. I think we will see no other kernel developers besides faux, unless it's for ICS.. and I think the developers we have now are the only ones that we've got. With the anouncement of new HTC phones more developers are going to shift gears...some developers from here might even shift gears...they might send us an update on a rom here and there but that'll be it. if you look at the development of successful phones such as the nexus one, samsung vibrant, galaxy nexus etc, all of them are still going very very strong even though they came out 2 years ago, the vibrant a 2 year old phone already has multiple ICS roms available, multiple kernels, etc. we're pretty much done here. the developers we have here had to be bountied anyways. My personal opinion is that there is no interest left in the amaze development wise besides a couple of developers....sorry but have to be realistic.

Sensation gets mad love, why?
I've been looking at what's been going on at xda & it seems like development for the Amaze is moving but not as fast as the sensation. Is it easier to develop for that phone than it is for this one. I known this phone has more power than the sensation so why are there so many ROMs for the sensation. Thanks for all your help guys.

No development is not dead, if your new here, there are a couple things you should know. First, the dev doing all the work here, xboarder56, was banned I believe, he has his own forum and all of his roms are there. Nrgz28, an awesome dev, has an amazing rom. Faux123 has a kernel for OC/UV. Ics is being worked on by xboarder and a member of the cm team. A sense 4.0 port is on the works by a dev in xboarders forum. So, no, development is not dead. If we want more devs devving here, I think we should do what has been done before, a bounty. I believe someone has spoken to a member of the virtious team.
Edit: sorry, xboarder is working on an aosp build with texasice if you know who he is. And the cm team is working on, well, A cm9 build

I am going to wait and see how the new phones that T-Mobile gets. If the One X has more development, might as well to switch over with something that has more activity.
I would say there are two main differences between this phone and the Sensation. (1) The Sensation is owned by far more people (ergo, more developers), and (2) Development is more difficult without S-off. I'm just guessing here, because I'm not a developer, but those seem to be our biggest problems.

Hi everyone, as a GSM 3D owner, I am really frustrated at this point as there is no ICS release, and dont think there will be anytime soon and here's why: The sensation, vivid/velocity/raider and soon the rezound are the only htc phones that are getting their official OTA, BUT if you do your research, all these phones have had SEVERAL leaks before arriving to the point of getting an OTA. On the other hand we have NOTHING!!! That DEFINITELY means htc has not even started on the 3D yet (as we have NO leaks), and we will most likely get the update sometime in Q3 for sure. Heck, even the galaxy Note got a leak today! It has become somewhat of a trend that ICS must be leaked at least 1 month prior to the official OTA release (tell me 1 phone that didnt!!)
So my request to the devs: please somehow get the camera and 3D working on ICS roms no matter how long it takes (because I know it is possible, just difficult). If we had not waited so long for the official release we would've had a fully functional ICS ROM by now, so if we keep waiting, God knows how long we will be left in the dark for. Please just somehow get those things to work and the community will remember you forever!!!

Nice rant sir. Now shut your face.
^ What he said.
They can't make the camera magically work until HTC release an official ICS update for the EVO 3D, with which it can then be ported. End of discussion.

Um yes they can, im not a dev but it has to do something with rewriting the camera libs, which is appatently hard work but its definitely possible. How do you think the desire got the camera working without any gingerbread release back in the day!?

Well i dont understand why everyone takes a request to a dev so seriously, its only a REQUEST not an obligation, i do it to give them some encouragement to do something that only they can, bcz at the end of the day they can do whatever they want, but it'd be nice if they devoted some time to fulfilling our requests. A president of a country doesnt get paid much, but that does not mean he shouldnt listen to the public, in this case the devs are the leaders and we are the people, so they are our only chance of fulfilling something and i think they should listen to the community because with great power comes responsibility (superman never got paid anything)! Lol sry abt my cheesy examples but its true!

Lol funny. My thanks meter shows that i do actually have a life. I'm not on xda all day long like you people, i have real things to do like real people.
i feed my devs donations to make them big and strong, then they can overcome obstacles such as "camera" and "trolls"

Well what if the trolls are bigger and stronger that the devs themselves ? Btw i sooo saw this coming! Having a lil fun on such a geeky forum like this does not make me a troll lol, people need to be more open minded!!

Actually it just shows that you're an unhelpful noob . And gingerbread camera on desire wouldn't have been that hard, I imagine it was a tweaked froyo camera or from another adreno 200 powered device, same way they got the HD2 camera working.

Thought we had hard working Devs,not Magicians..There really is no rush or need for ICS anyways..It'll be here in the next few weeks or Months.Either way what does it matter?

You're KINDA right, the worst mistake i made was trying ICS on my 3D, ever since then my experience with GB has not been the same, it feels so sluggish and incomplete compared to ICS... Hope we get ics before I (if and when) hopefully get a one x (which is at least 6 months away), otherwise, i may have to reconsider buying an htc phone ever again.
I dont know much about kernels. I just want to know will this affect development and how???
This has been answered plenty of times by me and hasoon and the question has been asked multiple times but please search next time. Your answer is it will have no effect it does nothing for our problems

Well we've had the ICS source for other carriers, which is the same as tmo anyways, so yeah, that kinda says a lot, guess you didn't see that in the dev fora on the kernel dev threads.

might of had more effect if was the Complete Source... instead of missing WLAN and BT drivers

Common misunderstanding we don't need full source because we can fake the kernel version to use the stock modules so it doesn't really matter

So out of boredom I found myself in the Sensation part of XDA, and wow that forum is dominating the Amaze by a good mile. Tons of Roms and seems that mostly everything is working as well.
So does the Sensation have full source for all roms? Even have CM support? What gives....
Feels like I may have made a mistake spending $275 for this phone even though it was new....

Believe me I love this phones power and looks especially for the price (New non contract) I am just so use to having CM's support and having more roms to play with.
I am complaining a bit but just trying to understand the reasoning behind it all.
I appreicate both of ya'lls work.
Forgive me for being a bit slow, i've only had the device for a month haha.
