[Q] HTC RUBY minimalist ICS/JB roms - HTC Amaze 4G

Hey, this is my first post so sorry if its in the wrong place.
I have had my Amaze 4G for about a year and had wanted to experiment with different roms. Unfortunately there are not a lot which I can get to work with radio and tethering. I am with Wind (dont laugh) but only the T-mobile roms seem to work without incident. I had a good experience with EnergyROM but after trying the CyanogenMOD 10 4.1.2 nightlies I have been looking for a rom which has only the very basic apps preinstalled and no gapps. I really like cm10 because I only get what I want but being unstable releases the battery life is really bad. I wanted to post this to see what people are using which fit this criteria or if there is a way to edit the custom rom zips to remove these apps.
Thanks XD

Try venom rom. You can customize pretty much anything. I don't know the current state of tether on this ROM though because I don't really use it.

Wow... I didn't know they updated so much, I been out of the loop.
The most minimalist remind me of the old Speed ROM days. Those were very minimalist with sense still attached.

I saw the dev page for it and it seems like exactly what i've been looking for but the last time i tried installing i ran into issues. Something to do with s-on/off I think. I have no idea how to make set it to off =/
edit: until i get android rev working would it be safe to just open up the energyrom zip and delete all the apks i dont want? I figured for non essentials like facebook and gmail it wouldnt affect much

The project I've been working on - New Rom

The last few weeks I've talked to many of you about a little project I was lucky to be involved in with a good friend of mine, Tonekneeo, and I promised you guys I would keep you updated.
Rather than trying to reply to each PM and remember which gtalk people asked me about it, I decided to kill a whole bunch of birds with one stone.
This rom is sense 3.6 based but it's designed from the ground up to be run as sense, senseless, and with the MIUI style launcher, depending on the kind of mood you're in. It's a really clean little lean and mean rom that has amazing performance and get's me the best battery life I've seen on my rezound even though I've been tethering. The eye candy and theming is gorgeous in my opinion, a sophisticated yet fun theme that I find very classy in the base version and he's rolling out custom theming constantly so there's still several colors yet to come.
http://www.teambamf.net/topic/4008-rom-tonked-rezound-rom/
Tone has a lot of projects in the works and I'll be helping out with the development as he teaches me the tricks of the trade, so feedback is always appreciated.
Giving it a shot now

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heya Charlie! Nice work, keep it up. Downloading now and probably run this as my daily. Will see what I can do about getting you a themed SGS3 Launcher(think its called SecLauncher2.apk) to add in also (if you want?).
JSYK, there's a separate forum for ROMs

1) Data Arrows Working?
2) For those who installed it, how does it run compared to CleanROM Pro?
3) What ICS Leak is it based off of?
Great to see something different, nice work..
glad to see there is another thing for me to flash thank you

Data arrows are working. It's based off of the 5/7 leak I believe unless something has just changed. Tone will be doing another rom based on the newest leak and I'm sure once it's ready for main stream we will create more rom threads and such.
I'm good with it being moved but I really don't think this is for the development section. I'm not the developer and I'm not creating a rom thread or supporting the rom. I don't think the development section should be crapped up with general information like this.

Thanks. CleanROM runs pretty well for me right now, and I absolutely HATE HATE HATE reromming and setting everything back up. That's one of the reasons I love CM9 so much... I can update and not wipe out everything I've done.
I'll give this a try once it's updated to the newest leak, or whatever version ends up being the final ICS update.
Do you plan on having a senseless version?

It is senseless, but it has the rosie launcher as an option which I like. Just don't expect much of the sense widgets to be there, most are removed.
This rom definitely deserves more attention. This is with the stock battery. I used wifi basically the whole time but look at that screen time!!

Vanilla ICS ROM please?

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus

Samsung base - Touchwiz removed roms?

Hi,
coming from HTC Sensation we had a rom where devs took the HTC ICS base - removed (almost) all HTC Sense parts and replaced them with stock AOSP. The result was a very stable rom that looked,felt and behaved like AOSP without the need for devs to manually fix drivers and other issues.
My question is: Is this possible on Samsung roms? Remove TW and replace (almost) completely with AOSP counterparts? I don't just mean theming the rom, but basically turning stock Samsung into (almost) AOSP/Google.
Sorry if this question has been asked (probably) years ago - just wondering.
HyperGalaxy is probably what your looking for much like hypersensation & VI on sensation, thinks it's just changed to the latest OTA jellybean as base.
Keep meaning to try it but have got fond of paranoid rom & cm10 features and haven't had the time.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
exactly, VI was my Sensation rom. I'd love something like that. Will look into HyperGalaxy. Thanks.
if you would go to the dev section and read the rom names you will find the answer to your question.. All the roms that are AOSP have AOSP written in their names. like the supernexus rom, hypergalaxy, liquid jellybean, and all the other AOSP roms. there are also AOKP, CM9/X, and PA roms for this phone...you can find all of them in the dev sections
thanks for asking this. i too came from the sensation and was on Hypernonsense. will check out hypergalaxy

Well, too bad, it seems like latest 1.0.2 version includes touchwiz now . I may still try it.
U realize that touchwiz is much more than a launcher? If u want to replace launcher just download another one from market and use it

any ROM that is AOSP-themed like hypersensation for the S3? HyperGalaxy is not, still using stock theme. CodecROM's theme is only half-AOSP and it looks fugly
For a completely AOSP ROM try SuperNexus. Its brilliant.

I'd love aosp. Waiting for mem leak fix first though. That's why I asked about something with Samsung base.

Any AOSP Roms??

What's up y'all? I recently lost my Nexus S 4G and am now using my brothers old EVO 3D. I am sorely missing stock Android. I was running an AOSP JellyBean ROM on my NS4G, which was oh so nice....but is there anything for the EVO 3D....either ICS or JellyBean? I've looked around, but haven't seen anything. So can anyone point me in the right direction?
You didn't look very hard.

I guess I should have been more specific....something with little to no issues would be great. Each seem to have their own issues....in the AOKP rom camera isn't working, CM10 has several issues (sound being the main one), and in regards to CM9, I thought I read through a thread that intimated that 4G does not work. Is that something that source built roms will suffer from on the EVO 3D?
Lots of ICS roms with zero issues.
Look in the developement threads.
sudo passwd root
The Nexus is a Google phone with native AOSP. If you want everything to work on an Evo 3D (or most HTC phones) you will probably need to use a ROM that is Sense based.
You might want to look at SOS M which is built on a MeanROM ICS base that is very complete and stable, but largely de-Sensed and has a lot of options to give it the look and feel of AOSP, or even MIUI.
And as someone else already pointed out, in the future "what should I do?" or "how should I do it?" questions belong in the Q&A forum rather than General.
ramjet73
Thanks for pointing me towards the development section, that is helpful. You mind throwing a couple examples at me though? Everything I look at seems to be sense based.
SOS M (cdma) is probably the top sense based rom for the hero. and i'm pretty sure they were first at doing so. it's 100% stable ( you have to use the sense lockscreen tho if you want to see who is calling when your phone is locked) i very much enjoy it
aosp roms usually only have 3g and 2d camera working but you can give sos m a shot, you'll love it trust me
Thanks guys...maybe I'll take SOS M for a spin and see if that does the job for me.
Try 3d Anorexia and PAE .9.5. Those come pretty close to being bugless. Especially 3d Anorexia. Its got working 4g. No 3d of course.

Regardless, try 3D Anorexia if you want an AOSP rom with no stability issues.

Whoever is responsible for that ROM should really consider giving it another name. If you've ever known anyone with anorexia, there's nothing funny about it.
Sorry, but I'm not going to install a ROM that shows disrespect for a very serious illness.

I'm sure they weren't, but probably at least thought it was a cute name for a lean ROM, which it's not. Many times people (including me) do things that unintentionally offend others and I'm not faulting them for that, just suggesting they change the name to something more appropriate.

That one is my new favorite, camera doesn't work yet along with 4G and 3D. Don't really care about the later two but I do miss my camera. Its an awesome enough ROM IMO to deal without the camera for now. Jelly Bean on our Evo 3Ds is almost like a new phone!
Try King Cobra v1.6. First install Sense and set everything up, then install again using Aroma Installer and select Senseless, and AOSP Components, then select AOSP notification and settings (and DON'T WIPE) and you're good to go with a Bugless (afaik) AOSP ROM.

I'm runing the SOS M ROM right now, but have been keeping a very close eye on that CM10 ROM. The 3D I don't care about, but I need the 4G & camera....work is being done on the 4G, so hoping that is figured out soon and they follow up with quick work on the camera too. I was gonna flash it to check it out earlier today, but I'd have to downgrade my hboot apparently, and since I've not done that before, I figured it wasn't worth the trouble when I knew I couldn't stick with CM10 as it is anyway.

[Q] What are considered the "best" HTC EVO LTE ROMS?

You would need to define your criteria for "best" first.
For me, "best" ROMs are ROMs that give me better speed, more features, and similar stability to stock. I also keep my devices for a pretty long time. So as they age I look to the community for support in keeping up to date. Hell, I still have a Tegra 2 tablet (Gtab) and my old Hero C laying around.
In this respect, I have had very good luck with ViperROM on the LTE. YMMV

I believe the apk has to be modded to work with sense. I tried restoring some aosp system apps on a sense rom and just got FCs. Clean ROM used to have a bunch of modded apks but I think it's been abandoned...haven't seen any out there for 4.1.2 yet.

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
This is always going to be a question that never has the perfect answer. It depends on what you want/need. Go sense if you want the classic evo look and just want the basic experience its for people who don't care as much about making the device faster and better, they just want it to work and the only real reason they rooted it was to get rid of the bloatware. Keep it simple stupid. Honestly sense is fast, but aosp is is much more reliable and stable. Sense kernels have that small chance of corrupting your file system if and when your device crashes. It's a small chance but a chance none the less.
AOSP is by far the best for the ones who do want to unlock the devices full potential. AOSP (Android open source project) roms are more difficult to create and perfect but they give these devices more potential but its also up to the user to do his or her research. Don't flash or tweak even the slightest thing until you do your research and search xda and google. When you find a guide that of course isn't too old and you know you can trust it, read it over and over and bookmark it. Always search xda but never listen to the opinions of others until you test it yourself.
These rom creators work hard and they expect us to know what we are doing.
tl;dr - I will just say this, if your willing to spend more time to give you the best experience go AOSP. And if you go AOSP go CyanogenMod and nothing else. And for the kernel if you do wish to use a custom kernel I hightly recommend Komodo if you want an even better user experience.
Best rom is...
... the one that works best for you
FWIW. I love the ViperRom. Phone feels like it just "works" and, if I want, there are lots of customizations available.
That said, I just switched to HatkaLTE because I wanted to stay with a sense rom and it seems to me that the last update of ViperRom reintroduced the original rom's sensor problems on my phone. [I say seems because it's still not perfect, just better, on the HatkaLTE and maybe the hardware has developed a defect]. I can't say much about this rom yet because I haven't had it on my phone long enough and because I'm also playing around with different launchers at the same time.
Good luck!

IDK, but I'm really excited to install the new VIPERROM
Very, very excited. Hopefully it (re)fixes the proximity sensor problem, but if not, I have the init file all ready to solve the problem myself!
I have to agree with many of the posts, it's more of a personal taste question. I've run almost every ROM at some point, and I love the speed of AOSP, but like the features of Sense. There are a few key features that you lose on AOSP. After a whole lot of flashing, I've settled on SuperJelly Bareback, it strips out all the bloat of Sense while retaining those key features, and is almost spot on with the speed of AOSP. It's my happy medium. Good luck and happy flashing.
If you dont need Bluetooth, Sense 5. Otherwise Viper or Super LTE.
