HTC Amaze Lightest Launcher - HTC Amaze 4G

hey guys. i have an unbranded (Asian) non-root AMAZE. As you know power and ram usage is not the best. However as there are no updates for this 2.3.4 Androided phone and as I am tired of the old looks of the UI, i would like to at least have a launcher other than sense which will have to be veeeery light and fast and doesnt drain my battery much fast.
thanks

Well, htcdev does not have a blob specific to my unbranded factory unlocked phone. So I never was able to complete the first step. Also, all custom ROMs come with minor bugs.

htcdev does not have unbranded amaze on the list. so step 3 is basically impossible. all they have is amaze with other carriers.

You can disregard anything I said about unlocking at HTCDEV and go with incapable86's post below.

ICS is a vastly superior upgrade from GB, however if you don't want to upgrade, then there are several launchers free at the play store.
I've been using Apex and am perfectly happy with it, however others here use other launchers and are perfectly happy with them. Part of my decision was having a launcher that accepts universal-type themes rather than being too proprietary.

You can select "All Other Supported Models" and it will work fine.

I just (Sunday) unlocked and rooted my Amaze (flashed recovery to CWM), disabled some T-Mo fluff, and updated Google Apps. (edit) Removed HTCLinkifyDispatcher (why oh why didnt I do this months ago). Otherwise pure stock. Remind me where the update .zip will reside, and I'll pull it off and Dropbox it for everyone.
I believe my Amaze is at 2.14.531.3 (is that the recent update to Personalization app?). Personally I think 2.14.531.3 vs 2.14.531.30 is really damned confusing, mathematically.

Nope, I didn't see the updated date. However, the last release was 4.03, so I'm doubting there is much here. I'm on NRG though, and will make a note in that thread in case there is something for NRG to update.
My daughter has the update available. How do I pull it from her phone? She's not rooted

I see Camera listed ... maybe they fixed issues with noise during video recording (a whole 15 months after I reported it), and I see references to WifiRouter, WifiCall, and (oh wouldn't this be glorious) wpa-supplicant. Is it too much to hope they fixed issues with Wifi?

It is a developers forum so many of us just enjoy messing around at various levels for various reasons. If you don't want these things there's no obligation to install anything.
had a force close once with new google play.
i dont like it anyway, everything is so freaking BIG, looks like its more made for tablets than for phones.
It worked for me too, but I had to kill it once and to delete data from previous version, otherwise paying via SIM card wouldn't work (getting an error while trying to connect to mobile network during selecting of paying method)

T-Mobile ROMs

It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware on any of the forums. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
You should be able to flash any in the HTC One Forum. Our device is the M7 so you should have no issues. Only problems some people have been seeing is from ATT so far with roms that don't have the proper RIl files and this is believed to cause the radio to switch from E, H, and LTE chronically.

thanks, i wasnt sure if our device was M7 or not.
stupid question, but does flashing the roms on the international one forum **** up the radio?
Only if the ROM includes the radio. As far as I know, no one is including radios in their ROM's. I would personally hold off flashing any radio until we get a flashable zip, RUU, or other means to go back to the shipped radio. Some users are having issues with the WWE radio on Tmobile and ATT. Some may think it's just the rill files too.

Yah that's the one bummer about non T-Mobile ROMs. It's impossible to get WiFi calling working. Has to be a T-Mobile based ROM.

I mean, the "you can sort of unlock the bootloader but you can't have S-OFF" is obnoxious but it isn't any easier to bring your phone--if anything, the limitations placed on operations done in recovery make it harder to actually brick your phone since the boot and recovery images are normally flashed in fastboot.
But yeah, Nexus phones are much kinder to tinkerers. News at 11.

Yeah, that's what I did too. Only mildly sad to give up wifi calling; I never go over on minutes anyway.
Can't wait until there's T-mo specific roms. I get absolutely crap reception in my apartment and NO reception at work, so i desperately need wifi calling.
What we need is a good all around android dev /Rom chef to dedicate there time to our branded HTC one.
I hope Roms aren't gonna be generic forever leaving us with partially set up Roms/ having to flash radios constantly and whatnot !Never knowing what's compatible and what's not .
If that's the case I foresee a lot of angry people and jtag sales in the future .
I'd give it a month or two before we have a few 2-4 dedicated tmo HTC one roms 100% ready to flash and go just for us only .

Has not been officially released just yet, but it's floating around out there... Just got released in ARHD 20.0 (20.1 is their current build now).
Been using it bug-free, so far... worth looking into. You can find it in this forum.
No we haven't got the 4.5.3 update yet
The HTC ones in IFA had the 4.3 update
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436235
4.3 for AT&T is on its way, it is already in testing, has been for about a month now.
