Plain old phone rom? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Has anyone ever thought of making a plain phone rom? The only thing it does is make calls? It would be like 30mb or less rom, insane boot times, underclocked, insane battery life. Might have texting as well. This would be mainly for giggles but might be a fun project for someone to do.

With all due respect, that sounds like a huge developmental waste of time.. If a person ser wants a phone like that s/he can just gut a stock rom out with titanium backup. Just my 2 cents

who would want to neuter their EVOLTE?

That really might not be a bad idea now but I would only use it to flash back from aosp just to update my profile and prl. So the smaller it is the faster it would load and the less time I will have to spend on a sense rom.

I think it was during the Hero days that there was a ROM for that purpose, a tiny ROM to update PRL and profile

i might make a stock with goodies tiny edition
i think its a good idea

LOL Why would you want to take away our smart phone's education? It's having a hard enough time getting into UJB (University of Jelly Bean)

Nokia 3310 would do the job...

Would be cool to give it a monochrome theme. Make it green with black text like the first LCD sprint phones.
Or have a Nokia style, with signal bars on left, battery bars on right then date and time in center.
Would be a novelty I guess. They have text messaging apps that have this theme. Becomes an eyesore faster than u would think.

Anyone Else With No Desire To Root?

Am I the only one? I mean...I've been on Android for the past 2 years. Since the HTC Hero came out. I've went thru the Hero...the Moment...the Evo...the Evo Shift...the Epic...the Nexus S...and now the 3D. All of these phones I have rooted, modded, customized and ran thru the ringer except for the 3D.
I just dont have a desire to do it anymore. When I was rooting...I was doing something different to my phone every other day. Flashing a different ROM...flashing a different mod...changing something....constant wipes...ect. My purpose for rooting all the previous devices was to make them bigger, better and faster. I dont have that desire with my 3D. It honestly works wonderfully and its as fast as I could possibly want. I dont use Wireless tether and when I do its when I travel in which I dont have a problem paying the few bucks for the service as I need it.
So is it just me? Is root that popular to the majority? I'd assume yes on XDA but I wanted to ask.
Completely unrelated...I'm completely EXCITED because I found a sleek black gel cover for my 3D that will still fit in my leather holster. Complete protection and convienence...NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!
Allow me to be the first to say: cool story bro.

I still had the desire to root, but I'm losing the need to flash. The 3d in stock form is great just the way it is.
I can definitely see your position. After a while the phones start coming with the features you want and its needed less to mod it because the feature is now built in.
I get that... I personally haven't hit that point and i know many others haven't either. But, I get it.
But, with the way some companies are doing business its still required by some of us. (Like requiring your phone to be a specific chipset, even though your phones chipset could easily handle the app.)
Are We Not Phones?
We are EVO.
ARE WE NOT PHONES?!
3DEVO!
I refuse to have an unrooted phone because I love creating my own personal themes. I try to change the look of all, or most of, my apps. I always change the font. I hate the bloat put onto our phones. I need to have a personal splash screen, boot animations, and my own sounds. I have to have my apps backed up w/ data in case some unforseen incident occurs that destroys my phone. I need wifi tether, or hotspot. Now, roms are what I don't really need, but I always find something that I want, so I start flashing.
They why are you here?
E3D
The time this consumes is almost reason enough to not root your phone
If it wasnt for themes and CM7 I dont think I would root the 3D either...
Hurry CM7!!!!
Okay, now to answer your question:
I am only rooted for CM7 and to try MIUI on capable hardware... Oh yeah and HAVS/UV kernels... And for tethering that I rarely used. Otherwise I do agree with you, for the most part.

I keep reading that you guys root for tethering, I thought that the 3d came with a mobile hotspot and that you can tether away free of charge since data is unlimited
(currently awaiting my 3D to arrive)
Simple answer. Nope. We're still asked to pay for tethering even with Unlimited Data Plans.

Complicated answer? ^^
So to get free tethering I must root? Any specific app they can't trace?

I root to remove bloatware. If I don't want an app I shouldn't be forced into it because of its popularity. If I want it I will add it, there's a market for a reason
Sure the stock evo is great but I always like a little more customizations. With root you can save battery, get wifi tether and USB tether, and pretty much do anything you so desire...
I dont flash a rom everyday or even every week. I find a good ROM I really like (currently VIPER) and then I only really flash when they come out with big updates for that ROM.
You don't have to be a flashaholic. There are a lot of good things that can come from rooting: No more Bloatware, better battery life, quicker updates. I love stock sense but enjoy having small modifications like a circle mod for the battery and CRT.
I did enjoy having CM7 with my hero prior to this phone. Some of that might just be that the Hero was so slow and CM7 made the phone ok.
Each to their own but rooting has a lot more going for it then not going for it.

When Sense 4.0 comes out for the new phones and not the EVO 3D you will want to root, because it will get ported. No Sense 4.0 doesn't exists yet but it will someday unless Apple patents it first.

You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

as far as battery life goes, mine usually lasts a day (at least 20 hrs), so in that respect i think it's pretty good especially since my old mt4g struggled to get even that lol

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha

HTC Sense Launcher

I've owned a bunch of HTC phones but have been having issues with my new HTC Rezound. Whenever I exit certain applications the stock launcher reloads and displays the HTC Splash Screen. Seems to happen most often with Draw Something (but does happen with other apps as well). Anyone else have a similar issue or know of a fix?

I am actually surprised to say this but I am going to say it (knocks on wood) anyway. I know exactly the issue you are speaking of with sense phones in general. have had it happen tons of times on phones from the Droid Eris, to Incredible 1 & 2, TBolt, and they have all done this. I am into week 2 of my rezound and haven't seen it once. {walks away and launcher redraws}.
Are you running any tweaks or mods like the leedroid tweaks?

On my Incredible, I used V6 Supercharger to prevent this (and it worked amazingly well!).
I have V6 on my Rezound, and in the 30+ days I've had it, I've had exactly one re-draw of the launcher, and I really think that was my fault. Check it out!
V6 Supercharger
Thanks for the input. Mine is totally bone stock...I just received it yesterday. On my Incredible it would happen once in a great while. On the Rezound it happens almost consistently. And I wouldn't mind if it didn't take the launcher so long to recover.

It could be a memory leak in an app. If you notice it happening with a particular app try uninstalling it and see how it runs.

I've turned off fast boot and cpu timelines which has seemed to help thus far. Worse case I guess I could just restore the phone and reinstall one app at a time. Main culprit definitely seems to be Draw Something though.

Have you checked to see how much memory draw something uses? I know that words with friends is a memory hog.

Good call. Draw Something uses 72MB which is nearly twice as much as other average apps. In fact I would argue that it's almost unacceptable. I still can't believe the launcher wouldn't have a higher memory priority over other user apps though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I noticed this happens when I use Scramble With Friends. It used about 130 MB of memory. Sometimes more so I uninstalled it. Sense uses about the same amount of memory. I think because the phone gets low on memory it shuts down Sense because it is using lots of memory. Seems ridiculous that this happens, but it does.

Sense 3.5 takes up a ton of memory so when its not used and other programs require more ram sense is unloaded. Once you go back to the home screen it has to be reloaded.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Draw Something, Facebook, Any of those games and whatnot constantly streaming data, seem to decide to use all your ram for no reason. I like ICS for the reason that now you can close stuff when your done with it
So when ICS rolls out with Sense 3.6 they'll hopefully have this fixed. I bought this phone for Sense and I'm just amazed how fickle it seems this far.

That's half the answer the problem is the ram is supposed to dump the apps from the ram in order of least important but for some reason the sense launcher drops to a less important level when not in use (to give back more ram I guess). Like many people have said V6 will fix this problem and is super easy to use so I would give that a try is a great script.

Can't speak for sense 4.1, but 4.0 butchered multi tasking. It greatly limits the amount of simultaneous processes running in the background. I could not go back to sense at this point.

There are already a few threads about this, also from the Q&A sticky at the top of this very forum:
Racer Of All said:
Q: Multitasking does not work like in previous phones, why?
A: Pretty much the phone kills applications off relatively quickly. Most ROMs have addressed this issue and you should receive better multitasking while running them. If you do not want to run a ROM a fix some people found is to go into settings> developer options scroll to the bottom and select "At most 4 processes" under Background process limit.

So no, there's no real fix for sense based ROMs. Most of the ROMs help alleviate this issue but none outright fix it. HTC also claims that this is their intended behavior and that there is no issue with multitasking, so don't expect an official fix from them.
AOSP or CM10 is your only current option.

Sounds like the developer option/fix will drain battery. Do you guys know if the sg3 multi-task better than the evo? I just picked up the phone and still experimenting on it. If all goes well ill keep the phone. So far I like everything. To me, the cons are battery and multitasking.
Otherwise everything else is great.

Theres no room for a bigger battery. You would have to replace like half the phone if you were to make some sort of extended battery cover.

Just read that thread. Newt had a build for the HOX. Maybe a port can get us started?
the amaze had amazed me besides the battery, if we could obtain a port, thatd be great.bring the Amaze back into headlines.

Lol when was the amaze in any headlines? Its been sh!t on since it was released...
The UI looks nice but with those graphics and animations... The amaze would need to be charged every 5 hrs

Couldn't agree more, after switching to the s3 a month ago I couldnt believe I hung on to that junker so long.
Really like the animations and the theme itself. :thumbup:

that is sooo sexy zomg.
agree would be sweet to have a ui like that but being stuck to the charger all the time would def take away the awesomeness
Hmm.
By the way in sense 3.6 ,
We have to charge it in every 7-8 hours.
Than what will happen if we shift to sense 5.
Ohh my god.
I think AMAze is little outdated to handle sense 5.

Go and flash my ROM and you'll see that surely it lasts more than that. Unless your using it heavily. If you used your amaze heavily for that amount of time then I would say you have fairly decent battery.
Screen time of 3 hours is a lot for this phone!

Hmm but I only use internet.
Not playing any games, nor playing any music from the speakers.
And ya my screen's brightness is also to the lowest point.
Still I have problem of battery draining.
I m using stock Rom of t-mobile ICS.
Ok than I'll flash your Rom.
But which Rom ??
Just send me a link

Its on the amaze development section just look for Kaioken Rom.
You should try out more roms rather than stock. For this phone it seems a little weird to stay on bone stock ICS. Look around and find what you like.
