Hey all. Developer of several roms and tools here. Planning on working on the amaze 4g. So I've come asking your opinions.
What do you want in a rom?
What are the biggest issues you have with your current setup?
What are the features you'd like to see in a kernel?
What are the current issues you have with your kernel?
Please note I do not currently own an amaze. My girlfriend does, but I can not always test on her device. This will have to be a community effort for testing.
Let's wake up the development on this forum.

First off, hell yes and thanks for coming over.
We have multiple Sense 3.0, one 3.5, and an ICS WIP...
I would love to try MIUI or AOSP. Even a solid 3.5 would be nice.
Long battery life and snappy UI always preferred.
Thanks again!

****...what don't we want in a ROM?
Is there any way you can help with some of the WIP Ports found on this section. I would like to test those out.
We have way too many Sense 3.0 ROMs. Don't get me wrong, they're all pretty good, but like the members who have already posted before me, AOSP is what this phone really needs right now.
In a ROM, the first thing I look for is performance. Since I always run third party launchers such as GO Launcher Ex and ADW Launcher Ex over HTC Sense, the ROM needs to be able to be smooth while on those launchers (some ROMs lag like hell on these launchers when wallpaper scrolling is turned on). The second thing I look for in a ROM is the miscellaneous stuff such as theme, icons, Beats, DSP manager, etc. Battery life is pretty important too.
The biggest problem in my current set up is the lack of fluidity. Yes, the phone is fast, but with the Sense ROM framework, I feel that the Amaze's speed can never be as fast as if it were on an AOSP ROM. I also found that the video playback on YouTube often lags, which is really a pain in the ass.
Currently, we only have one kernel other than stock, which is Faux's kernel. It works for some ROMs and doesn't for others, so I usually just stick with stock. I do miss the under/overclocking and undervolting though.
I'm not sure how many people share my opinions regarding this subject, but I hope I've been some help. Anyways, glad you're planning to develop for the Amaze!
Hell yeah, bring the Amaze Dev Forum back to life <(-_-)> !!
What do you want in a rom? AOSP ROM
What are the biggest issues you have with your current setup? Battery Life/LCD Bleed/Sense ROM's
What are the features you'd like to see in a kernel? OC/UV - Govenor Options
What are the current issues you have with your kernel? - Above
AOSP for sure.

Great to have another developer welcome! and thanks in advance.
here are some of my suggestions as I have tested more than a few of the limited amount of roms available for the amaze.
1. I think the most important things that we want to get out of a rom and kernel here is, first a good, sorry a great battery life and possible more free ram (beastmod does a great job of this). I have tried a lot of roms but battery is an issue with all of them and the difference is marginal.
2. We have lots of roms that incorperate sense UI's, and sensless UI's I would like to see a rom that incorporates another UI.
3. All the roms I've tested seem to have the basic enhanced notification quicksettings and advanced power menu. I would like to see a tweaking tool or tweaking in the settings for being able to tweak a lot of things...such as turning on HW accelleration. Lockscreen settings, (icon grid tweak, ie put change the number of icons both in drawer and in the main home screens, I know there are third party launcher, but it would be great if this was built into the rom), just lots of tweaking, look at adwlauncher ex and go launcher ex and maybe there are some good ideas there. just as much tweaking and advanced tweaking as possible , both hardware and software related.
4. A different and more customizable and tweakable dialer, something like we see in CM 7.
5. I can't think of anything else right now!!! I'll post more if i can think of any
One thing I'd like to see is the features find in aokp and from romanbb. I think he works mostly on the SGS2, but those tweaks (mainly notification bar with time, quick settings, colors, etc.) would be awesome.

1st of welcome to the community, and try to get people's opinions.
as you can see me and a lot of guys would like to see MIUI and AOSP rom witch are different from sense
somebody here is working on a cm7 rom and for a aosp rom i prefer cm7 because its tmobile theme chooser app, and with cm7 you can run miui.
it would be nice to port others roms like a good sense 3.5,3.6 or sense 4
many of us are waiting on ICS, but i can wait longer with that.
oh and man had you seen all the tweaks from the sensation?
like the blueray cam feature or the bravia feature?
plus other tweaks from settings like coredroid?
Plus one to all the things!

i'd like to see MIUI, MIUIv4, CM9, AOSP 2.3.7...
they are just a few that would be pretty cool to see.
you could also try a weird os like LeWa <-- based off cm7
Increased battery life is my main fault with this phone.
Somehow increase signal strength, I know, wishful thinking.
That's about it!
I'm trying to get my feet wet with developing but am having a hard time getting anything working in CM7, I think I almost have the camera working, along with either Bluetooth or WiFi.
But what I would love is an aosp kernal!!!
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
AOSP. Could care less about another ROM built off of sense.
i'll say, do what you are best at.. that's it.
it doesn't matter if it is aosp, miui.. anything will do
BUT if it is android 4.0.3 IT'S BETTER !!

Hi, wasn't sure whether to post this here or in development, so feel free to move it if necessary
I'm currently running Villainrom 12 and love it, but I'm the type of person that Constantly likes to upgrade, and gets bored of things rather quickly.
I've noticed villain have now got a 2.2 ROM out, but my only worry is that it does not include Sense UI. Can someone please point out the main differences between having the Sense UI and not?
and possibly conclude with there opinion on whether i should stick with Sense, or bin it for the new improved 2.2 Rom...?
cheers for any advice.

I believe you've answered your own question
but while I'm always looking for something new, I also want it to be Improved .
Ive flashed many ROM's before (Mainly Villain) and all Include Sense, but just want some advice on whether I should switch.
just some opinions and maybe a comparison of features/usability would help.
Could even start a small debate about the 2 different types of ROM's .
I've tried different Roms since Sept 2009, but I've always found stock ones are the most stable. I'm currently using stock 2.1 found un villain forums with a2sd and root. Very fast and with sense. Vanilla Roms tend to drain the battery very quickly. I'm a very heavy phone user and at work coverage is poor. Try them out, you might disagree with me. Oh, and let's not compare specific Roms, they're too different to one another.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I also get bored with certain ROMs quite quickly and am changing constantly. I started off with Sense and then moved to Vanilla, have been back to Sense and then back again. I'm currently running Vanilla as like the look and feel of it. However I am thinking of going back to Sense, once I can find a good theme as I personally dislike the stock Rosie theme. That's the one thing that puts me off. That said the integration with Facebook and the widgets are a big plus. I know there are other apps and Launchers out there that can do similar things but not quite sure the integration is as good.
Another thing is that Sense UI was designed for the Hero and that means that with a good sense ROM all the hardware works as it should, meaning the LEDs (for notifications). I find these don't work with Vanilla ROMs as yet, although they're getting there.
If you want a change from Villain check out SenseHero. It looks great and is very fast and stable. The guy who created it is currently working on a newer version also.
God, that was long
I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Yeah I'm really looking for more than just a launcher though. I'm already aware of the creation of MIUI launcher and that's sweet but it doesn't encompass settings themes and notification draw down etc. I'm not super picky about that but I'd prefer everything to be uniform...so not gonna go with that method.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.
If you want speed, battery, and best overall flawlessness I suggest: shostock!

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement
Hey everyone, I wanted to know your guys' opinion on which interface you like more? Do you prefer Sense or AOKP/Cyanogenmod 9 and why?
oh and also, which one has better battery life?
The day cm9 works fine on this phone is the last day I ever use sense in my whole life.
typically for me (especially now that sense is actually decent) i stay with sense until a really nice stock rom comes out then go to that and after a few months go back to sense and so on and so ........................ect.
I have no problem with Sense, but always end up running CM. There are just too many tweaks I want to make to my phone that Sense ROM's never seem to bake in. With Sense ROM's I'm usually going "crap I wish I could do that!" With CM it's "Sweet! I can do that!"
I think i like sense more. It is more refined. I like the look of aosp ics though. I'm really hoping a nice blue sense theme is released sometime.
The hardware is good enough that i do not believe one will perform better than the other like in the past.
The fact that the notification light doesn't time out on stock draws me to it though. It is my biggest complaint about sense.
When CM9/AOKP becomes more bug free, I'll try it out. I used CM7 a ton on my OG and AOKP quite a bit on my 3D.
Until then, I'm not even rooting my phone. I see no reason to as of yet.

it depends on the rom, AOSP roms aren't likely to have blinkfeed or Zoe and other HTC stuff. but stock modded roms may still have them.

Modded stock ROM's have all the goodies that stock has (obviously), but no other ROM's (which are currently all based on AOSP) have most of what you asked about.
Although you won't have to worry about Boomsound so much, since most of those AOSP ROM's have good sound. Beats itself is simply an EQ adjustment that you could do yourself. Camera isn't as good or as well-featured, and Blinkfeed will never see a port.
Unless you have a specific reason to do otherwise, just root your phone and install a nice Sense ROM.

most custom sense based roms have a de-sense option in aroma which will remove the sense look and feel. i think it will remove blinkfeed also but you will still have all the camera features.

Yes, it will remove Blinkfeed as that's part of the Sense launcher, which is the bulk of what's removed.
It's worth mentioning also that running a Sense ROM with the Nova Launcher is quite nice. While you lose Blinkfeed and such, you come out ahead with a snappy, full-featured launcher.
As for AOSP based ROM's... They do generally provide a clean experience. But as noted before, development is still in its early stages, so they're not as smooth as they could be, and battery life is maybe as good as stock ROM's right now (but usually a little worse for now).

Ask theidoctor to add it to his List. I just made this POLL off of his comprehensive list of what is available and stable...
I live and die by jellybeans. Buttery smooth and have had zero lag or bug issues.

I use Korky69's Xtra-Chromosome 2.1 nightlies, with Aspy tweaks. Runs pretty well with BrickmyphoneMod Kernel but I wouldn't recommend it in a million years.

I use Google Edition Pure by Dubbsy and hlxanthus.
I started with the modified version for a month or so, then I played around with PAC-Man ROM RC1 by Papa Smurf151 for a few days to test out a ton of custom features in one go. Some of them were quite good, but I got tired of all the options and customisations and just wanted stock Google again . So now I am on Google Edition Pure.
Being able to go to HALO and Pie to hardware buttons to the soft navbar (mod by hlxanthus) and all around again has really helped my form my UI tastes. Turns out I prefer Google's on-screen buttons, and one of the reasons why I bought the S4 was because of its hardware buttons!
I sold my iPhone and got the S4 on the weekend that the new update rolled out. I was able to get it home and root it and flash the GE ROM all on the first day. The only bugs have I've noticed have been the missing 4G bars (fixed), garbled carrier name (unimportant), and a few recent build glitches that I think are fixed now as well (MTP botched and random reboots). On the other had, I tried installing Google Wallet before, but I ended up having to reflash the ROM. Now this latest version has Wallet working out of the box.
Stock ME7 unrooted. Not by choice obviously, but to be honest with force gpu rendering it's incredibly fast and smooth for a stock experience. Great battery too.

Is my ROM not good enough for this list?
Kind of odd considering my ROM is the ONLY VZW ROM to feature Blocking Mode and the first customized ME7 ROM, not too mention seem to be one of the most active DEVs..

Flashed over to Official PAC RC1 yesterday, and it's pretty awesome. I have yet to experience an issue, and it runs like a dream. I ran an older PAC on my Incredible2, and this just further cements my enjoyment of it. I'm sure I'll miss the TW camera soon, but that's what AndyBones BoneStock is for :good:
Also, forcing people to vote is probably going to get the thread locked as a "best ROM" thread. Not to mention the list is missing quite a few options, even those found on XDA - PAC has been around since we first got root.

I specifically stated that this poll is using the list that theidoctor listed in his thread...
Show me a more full comprehensive list and I will update. Its hard enough to find the roms as a newbie but when someone makes a list you should ask to get yours added...

I saw that in your op. I commented on that ROM/Mod/Kernel list thread, as I didn't realize it was still being updated.
"Daily Driver" is a term people throw around way too loosely, and it means different things to different people. For me, a daily driver is a ROM I can use for my normal activities without major bugs adversely affecting it. Longevity, to me, is irrelevant because there are quite a few ROMs that meet my criteria. I don't think I'm a "crack-flasher" so nightlies aren't my thing, but I've gotten pretty fast at setting up on a new ROM. So even though a ROM may run great for me, I like to change it up every now and then. I loved Beans' and DarkSlide - and would consider those daily drivers. I am now on PAC, and so far it meets all of my requirements. I'll probably switch to BoneStock in the next couple weeks, since ME7 is very smooth and the TW camera is a nice improvement over AOSP.
Im using HellsRom and its great. Pure stock and that's the way I like it for now. I havent found any bugs yet. Everything works great and very fast.

Why isn't Timbo32's Buttersquirtz rom on here? Or KnightMan12's Gloryhole DaRk-TheMe-DrEaM Rom? Biased much?

No Omega, Pacman, or Revolt?
I'm currently using Hyperdrive but it's my first custom ROM and I'm not too thrilled with it. Battery life seems a little worse than stock and TouchWiz just feels bloated naturally-- all the S4 stuff doesn't seem to work at all? Smart scroll, smart stay, etc?
Hyperdrive for me has been quirkier and actually a tad slower than stock. I don't mean to blame it but it's my observation based on the options I chose upon install, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid ROM for sure, however I'm definitely not tied to it yet.
