Thank you XDA users - Off-topic

This is my first post on these forums.
Because of you folks, I went from buying my first Android phone not knowing a thing, to rooting my phone, flashing roms, even to editing my gps.conf manually to tweak a patch to suit my particular region.
The senior members are helpful, and the guides and information are top notch.
Thank you!

Had my old Kaiser right up to about a month ago when I split up with my gf and left it at her place. It was the original hacked WinMo/Android beast phone!! Went from that to the AT&T Tilt2 (Rhodium), to the HD2. It's too bad the HD2 is the last phone of that era. One of these days my Leo's gonna finally kick the bucket and I'll have to get a for real Android-native phone. That'll be a sad day.

Yay!! What's included?!?!
please give more info about it
No this is not blueice or whatever that link posted was. dew vs ice. Two different things.
It is a mix between unrevolved by ozzeh and a little vanilla too!
Are any of these roms in the paid version of rom manager or are they just not there at all? Just wondering if I should even consider paying for the full version.

Not in rom manager. I just completed work on it today and i am still not sure if i want to release just yet.....It will be delayed not more than 30 min. I am still unsure about one program loaded onto the rom. Should be stabelized in a little. It is a quick fix
i'm not saying this guy is rr12106, but i would exercise a little caution.
never heard of rr12106. I made a rom named blue dew. Does it make me a bad person because i named my rom that???

ICS roms

Is there any custom ICS roms? sorry for sounding stupid but I cant find any.
Seems like there are 2 available and the developers have moved away from xda. One is made by Pirateghost and called Rum Float: http://blog.androidninjas.com/rom-dev/htc-vivid/rum-float/
The other is made by WildChild and you have to register to see the vivid section here: http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/
Anyone tried these custome ROMS?
Hey, has anyone tried these custome ROMS, I would like to get something without AT&T apps included......
wildchild has a generic one that has all the att stuff removed

He has his own web site, if you search for Rum Float, it should pop up.

Hi xda,
It would seem that I've jumped into this a little late, but what happened to make all the cooks leave xda and ignore the Vivid, Velocity etc.
Sorry but I've been away from xda for about 12 months while living in Blackberry-land.
I'd really like an ICS ROM for my Velocity without HTC's bastard 'Sense' bloatness.
Also - is getting root access to the Velocity as easy as it was for the HD2?
Cheers;

CM9 port is being worked on. Check the dev thread. Other than that, there are Sense ICS ROM's available, just not many here.. at this point.
As far as what happened, no need to stir up bad memories Look through some of the threads from last month and you'll figure it out. In the mean time, follow the golden rule, and the rules of the forum, and maybe they'll start trickling back in

I am using Wild Childs at&t build of ics. It is awesome! He did an outstanding job with the rom. Silky smooth, looks like stock without the bloat! Plus with the mods here in the forums like extended menu, signal icon changer, and some other mods you can't beat it. This phone rocks hard!

Because the majority of samsungs and other brands embarrass android and apple still feels outdated and something for social status?

IMO its the lesser of all evils. Every brand has their own "skin". So even if you prefer AOSP, you might as well get the brand with the best looking and best functioning skin. Of course there is the nexus phones, but those aren't for everyone.

Agreed. I just don't know that I could talk myself into the investment of a device that runs software that I hated, with the possibility of not be able to change it. Granted there are things being worked on now (CM9), but let's be real, this phone was released in November and to this point we haven't seen anything Sense-less (for reasons beyond the dev's control - just got kernel source 10 days ago fcs), it would be very tough for me to buy the device at this point if I hated Sense . I don't know how long shayla's had theirs though...

Got my new Vivid!

Arrived today from Amazon (penny phone!). Called my brother, he reported good volume and very clear quality. Seemed the same on my end, so my call volume and quality is not a problem.
Activation was easy, and set-up included a question about HTC-something or other that would check on my phone use. I was able to decline that, but I intend to get rid of all the CIQ stuff.
Right now it is upgrading to ICS, I am looking forward to it.
Wheee!

It's a good phone. It's not a crack flashers phone but it's a good solid phone but I will warn you the ics rom brings some new bugs with it. I might reccomend the one x over it at this point because it's newer and has less risk of eol status but if you need a removable battery and expandable storage than this is the phone for you and if your coming from an old single core 512mb of ram setup android phone than this phone will feel like a rocket

Welcome! I'm new to the dev scene here myself too but it's not hard to get started, especially with the Vivid. I did the S-off trick with a coated paper clip in one try, you just need to be careful and get the right contacts. Just be sure to read the SuperGuide, the Guide, and the Tutorials before actually downloading any zips and trying to flash them. It's very very important to thoroughly read all directions, as the people around here know exactly what works and what will brick your phone... I know from experience as I'm on my second Vivid.
Once you're Boot Unlocked, Rooted, and S-off, the Vivid is your oyster and you'll have a ton of fun flashing it with new ROMs, Kernals, and MODs.

I have yet to see miui for the vivid. Obviously I'm looking in the wrong place. I am used to all of the phones I have had with tons and tons of roms but I guess some phones get better marketing than others and are a lot more popular.
I think there is one, but it's basically sense stripped stock rom with the miui features added

Thanks to all, seems like a great group. My last phone was an LG Optimus V, and compared to that the Vivid is a rocket!. Very snappy. I rooted it, took the sd-card from the Optimus and put it in the Vivid. DL'd TiBu and restored all my apps and their data. All working the way I like it.
I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks, got lots of good tips already. I'll post some screen shots one of these days. I am not much of a Sense fan, prefer my old favorite launcher. Slowly de-bloating the thing, ATT puts way too much junk on the phones, but they all do.
Thanks again.

Screen Shots
As promised, a couple of screen shots. Notice the app drawer, I have 50% transparency on that. Also notice the icons at the bottom. The first is All apps, second is Apps I installed, third is called Tools and I can put anything I want in there, same for the fourth one called Fun.
My widget is BeWeather Pro. The only app I put on my home screen is ICE: Emergency. I recommend it.
Welcome! I have to say that you picked one of the harder devices to develop for, but there's a strong community here and elsewhere. There are many things in motion for this device, although you may have to look elsewhere for them.

I went to use my "abandoned" e680i for a small project, and felling nostalgic, tryed to go to motorolafans, but the site was dead. Fortunately, google found this thread . My e680i was really useful up to 2009 when 3G was something I could not ignore anymore; I have fixed it about 2 times(changing small mosfets/broken display etc) and it still works.
Well, I am the guy who ported libsdl, quake, doom, scummvm and some others for the ezx family, a long time ago(7+ years?), but, as I am off cellphone dev scene because of time constraints, I too just registered just to say hi!

Hi Guys
Its been 2.5 years on a journey with my Incredible S and Finally I moved on coz of battery and Housing issues.. Its been legendary on this forum for seeing such an awesome development starting from Gingerbread to all the way to KitKat. This has been my first Android Phone and I learnt all the terminologies of Rooting, Bootloader and cfw's Thanks to my Incredible S for that
Being a HTC FanBoy, I took the HTC One M7 and Mahn thats one awesome phone There are already lots of Roms there and hope to see like Incredible S
Finally Thanks to Nik and @szezso for their awesome dedication to this forum..
I may not be a significant person here.. but I made one significant contribution to this forum I was the one who first suggested that Nik Can donate the Incredible S that ws given to him to to @szezso (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45797657&postcount=418) which inturn led to idea of donating the Incredible S by one of members.. Kit Kat was impossible without that donation by that legendary member
At last.. Bye People.. I will still be a regular to this forum but I am gonna Bookmark HTC One Page now
