Why such little development for the amaze? - HTC Amaze 4G

So I'm coming off of a mytouch 4g, and just ordered an amaze off eBay today. So I was just curious why there seems to be such little development on a seemingly very popular phone? I'm am not nagging or complaining in any way, just generally curious. I'm pretty excited about this phone and it's potential. I'm also hopefull that we will get some CM love. So maybe some one can fill me in. I feel like I had the mt4g Dec thread down to a.science, but I have no clue what's going on here

because its only been out for a few months and we dont have S-OFF

seach through this general thread, it been asked once or twice so you will have plenty of answers in there. there are also a few bounty threads going to get some good developers an Amaze, so if u r fortunate enough to be able to u can donate to them to help pick up development

Perhaps because its expensive, not many devs own it, and so far is impossible to s-off?

I either have all of these bookmarked or I used the search feature to find them. Or maybe I just used my super reading skills. I wonder...

Once or twice my butt! This question gets asked at least once a week. I found the four above by entering one search term.
In fact... due to redundancy... I'm just going to close this.

Getting a 3D phone to the devs

Sorry if this is COMPLETELY newb, got my flame suit on just in case...
But it would be great if we could have one of those people who got the 3D early to let the devs here borrow the phone to work with the bootloader.
If the certain individual needs to be financially motivated, slap a donate button on either his username or another well respected member's name so the community can send gifts of thanks his way.
How great would it be to have it up and running starting june 24th...?
I got your donation right here!

The phone is coming out in a week dude.
After it gets permarooted, I have no obligations to throw in $10-20

wow. guess i really needed that suit. with this kinda attitude, i am incredibly grateful that the devs overlook these types of comments and still provide their work to us for use for free.
if the same sentiment is shared by the community, we can just let this thread die.
Donating $10 or $20 is one thing vs. donating a $500 to $600 phone. Even a small donation is appropriate if you find a DEVs efforts worthwhile, show your support!
If I use a dev's work because he makes my phone better, I have no issues donating to them.. but I'm not handing cash over to someone so they can get a phone in hopes that they do something great... specially before I have my own.

Trust me, I'm sure one of the devs will have something great for us before we're completely done playing with our phones. The phone will be released in less than a week. We can be patient.

agreed.. plus we have several devs that have already said that they are getting it.. some that have reached legendary status around here, so its not like we are going to have a shortage.. you like what they do once they do it, or you have a dev you know is coming, then donate..

Evo3d vs sgs2

I stirred up a **** storm in another sgs2 vs evo3d thread that was closed. To a few angry Evo owners I pissed off.
I guess i should of clarified myself when i said dev support doesnt make or break a phone. 100 devs vs 10 devs means nothing if 90 out your 100 devs suck. I'd rather have 10 awesome roms than 100 mediocre ones. In the end most of them ARE THE SAME. If it isn't built from the ground up like cm7 its all gonna be based off the same SOURCE. So what is having giant dev support worth? Quality over quantity. No offense to the devs. I went in there to troll because of the Evo owners that feel they have a larger **** than the rest of us, not the ones that love they're phone but aren't sheepish enough to admit when something else is better. I love my epic but I KNOW in the end the evo3d is a better device, but to me not by much and that's AFTER Modding. Coming in here and providing facts does nothing for the air heads. So what better way to get their attention than troll and piss them off? There are a million Evo owners out there that are displeased with your beloved Evo 3ds performance. Don't believe me? Google. My buddy doesn't understand why my epic finishes quadrant and smartbench 2010 faster than his e3d with only marginal gains in numbers. Yea benchmarks don't matter, then why do so many people use them and pay close attention to them? The fact is the gs2 IS a better phone and is the first next gen dual core phone to give us.. (wait for it..) NEXT GEN PERFORMANCE!!! if you don't know its because you havent played with one yet. I have. And its ****ing amazing. When I played with it, I felt like I was using something much better than what I currently had. When I play with the Evo I feel like I'm playing with every dual core phone released before the sgs2. All providing mediocre performance gains despite the huge jump in hardware. I feel my epic performs equal to or at worse a bit slower than most of the dual core phones ive played with for christs sake. If you don't realize which phones better between the e3d and the gs2, your in denial. When I say better, I don't mean your personal experience, I mean an over all consensus. And currently, the sgs2 is much better. I think so. And so does the rest of the world.
Just wanted to make a point. Someone please close this thread quick.

[Q] How many of you DX2 users are jumping ship to the iPhone 5?

I am.
Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

This thread makes my insides hurt from sadness.
Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

I don't see why anyone would go apple. No customization ,no external memory ,basically bland apple and worst of all you only get what daddy apple says you can have.

Wish you luck. Everyone is different. It's Important everyone is comfortable with what they have.
Thread Closed, please go and use one of the other threads in OT to discuss all iphone 5 (Kitten Killer Phone) topics.

Need a vibrate motor

I replaced the glass this weekend and ended up breaking a wire on the vibrate motor. A search for a replacement part has only yielded a supplier site in China from which you must purchase in quantity. I suspect the motor used in the Rezound is the same as the motor used in at least one other HTC phone. Does anyone know if this is true?
Pretty sure there's another post asking about this in this forum because I remember wanting to post an inappropriate reply, just as I might want to now, and having to refrain.

Yes, there was previous post, but no answer.
There was a reference about inappropriate posts in that one too - I think the inference scared everyone off

So now maybe I've scared everyone off from this thread too.
I saw the title of this thread, and then that feralicious had posted here, and there was little doubt in my mind how the thread was turning. I was right.
But seriously, (I'll be appearing all week), I thought the vibration was part of the battery .... wait .... googling ..... I guess not! I'm wrong! Well I was right with my first sentence.
Try repair universe I used it for my speaker replacement on my DINC. I'm not sure if they have it. Otherwise if I'm not mistaken the sensation XE had very similar internals.

Looks like the only motors Repairs Universe has are for iPhones...and those definitely won't work.
Still looking for recommendations...please

4.3 sense 5 and sense 5.5 zoe.apk

I'm not a dev and we were told impossible but I made zoe with zoom for 4.3 sense 5 and 5.5 in seconds over my phone. I don't have pc so I build and mod everything on my phone. This proves a point I made about you can't say something doesn'twork if you haven't tried.. this also wouldn't be possible without advice from chubbz and sin.. give a big thanks to them and don't forget my thank you button.. :laugh:
Why is the apk file so small? It should be more than a mere hundred KB.
I think you did a bad upload. Try again.
I'm sure glad that he's on my ignore list.
BTW, went to the EVO 3D forums on a whim yesterday...no Sense 5 port from that guy shared. (none there period, actually)
This makes me laugh.
I'm just stating my opinion here so try not to take it the wrong way. I'm basing my opinion on the way the OP has entered into the EVO LTE community. He made a few posts in the general forum first. Two of which, were closed by moderators. One of the closed threads (I read it before mods edited) he was calling people names and basically, not playing nice. Mods stepped in and things quieted down. Then he started spouting off about how talented he is and how he enjoys "watching other devs struggle". Not the best way to win over this community's trust or respect, again, in my opinion. Personally, I have not seen Sin or chubbz endorse anything you've done. If they have privately, I apologize. That being said, I wouldn't install this or anything you upload until you start showing the same respect that you claim you deserve.

I think this proves the point that when you try something we can say it doesn't work.

*dying over here*
Well you can zoom in any camera app, just pinch out with 2 fingers
Also holding the focus point locks its AE.
These were tested on 4.4 but you cam test it on 4.3

You have to push it with adb or using a root explorer you can't just hit install system apps can't be installed like that

Don't encourage the OP.
That is the way you would install a system app, but it doesn't work regardless. (well actually, I'm not even concerned with the file enough to try)

100k, sure...LOL
I am closing this thread due to the fact that the apk posted in the OP seems to be un install able. I will be giving the OP 72 hours to post a installable apk or the thread will be removed. Thank you all for your patience.
