Cojawfee posted:Why do you need a deodexed rom? People were saying they needed it to install google wallet, but I installed it just fine with my stock ROM. It sounds like a lot of the tweaks, like adding search button to the softkeys and the advanced power menu, require a deodexed ROM, but I'm not sure whether that's a hard requirement or just how the tweaks were made.

I have a fairly new Evo 3D which I did successfully root/S-OFF. It's running an older firmware (before they even added the screenshot feature) so I figure it's probably worth updating. I don't much feel like changing ROMs and setting stuff up from scratch again at the moment, so I'm fine sticking with the official stuff as long as I don't have to wipe. Do I just need to find the latest rooted official update.zip on XDA and flash it from recovery? Simple as that?

You might clear your cache first, but it should be fine. There were radio updates so grab those if it doesn't include them.

Yep. Also, you might want to grab the latest TeamWin Recovery, since it's much easier to use than the alternatives. Touch interface!

Is the teamwin recovery compatible with all CWM-developed roms? I know I had to use a special recovery rather than official CWM when flashing some rom's on a MT4G Slide. Speaking of said phone, I was under the impression that you could do a nandroid backup on one phone, and restore that backup on another phone of the same model. I got a new MT4G Slide for my wife to replace her dinged up one, and nandroided the dinged up one. I rooted the new one, went to restore the nandroid from the old one, and it stopped right there, claiming a MD5 error or similar. I saw there were "advanced restore" options, but I didn't want to gently caress up the phone if this type of thing isn't supported. Any experience with this? Do nandroids only restore to the same hardware they were generated on?

Different phones of the same model could possibly be different hardware revisions or have other negligible differences which would throw off a nandroid backup and restore. I've always thought it best to only use nandroid for the same device. Titanium Backup would work though.

I hadn't thought of Ti backup - can I essentially do a full ROM backup with it and restore to the new phone? I'm assuming I'd have to install the same stock rom to begin with, right?

Civil posted:It should be the same hardware revision and everything - down to the HBOOT and recovery version, they're identical. Only thing off is the serial no. Yeah you can use TB to back up all apps and system settings. You can restore that on another device and as long as it's the same model, recovery, radios, etc. it should be just fine. I don't know exactly why nandroid has problems between devices, but I've seen other people post about the same problem.

The international GSM version is 100% fine in the OS itself - my phone has never run better. The OTA seems to have killed video output in the stock recovery though on the LCD model though which is a bit worrying.

Hopefully. The RC guys aren't releasing the RUU they got a hold of, just the packaged ROM. Edit: The GB comment wasn't a compliment though. It seriously just feels like Sense got tarted up a bit however this thing is legit. On the one hand it's nice to know HTC isn't dragging their feet and it's a work in progress. On the other hand....well, Sense. :-/ Edit again: Seriously, gently caress HTC's Touch Input. Worst loving keyboard. Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Dec 21, 2011 |

I just hope this is enough to goad kmobs and toastcfh and the other devs in that CM9 team into releasing SOMETHING. Cool, I get that they want to release a beta that's relatively bug free and feature complete, but kmobs in particular is a shameless attention whore. "Hay guys, here's some screenshots of my hardware accelerated ICS build that I've been using as a daily driver, it's great! No I'm not releasing it or even putting my source on git. Also I just got a Galaxy Nexus and left my Sensation at home for Christmas so development is pretty much stopped. But shower me with attention and beg for a release! Dance XDA monkeys!" He does this like twice a week and acts all offended when people finally started calling him out on the attention whoring. Maybe they'll release an alpha to get back in the spotlight now that HTC ICS builds are leaking out. Maybe.

If you want to try ICS on your sensation and are fine with everything being hosed up and broken, there's a guy on modaco that has an alpha rom. And yeah, Keyan needs to knock it off. I want to keep up with the progress, but the only thing he does on G+ is whip out his schlong for people to stroke every now and then.

ProjektorBoy posted:Outside of the Nexus devices, there's still no such thing as a "daily driver" ICS ROM for any phone yet. The Evo 4G ics-deck ROM is pretty much there. The only major missing feature is support for the hardware video codec, so the camera doesn't work and video playback is wonky. WiMax is also missing, but that's a much lower priority for most given the limited availability and battery cost. I've used the ROM as an almost daily for the last few releases, only switching back to CM7.1 when I'm traveling or otherwise would like the camera to be available, and it hasn't given me any trouble. It's expected that the camera and video playback will be fixed by the same thing, so once that's done I'd call this ROM at least beta daily driver grade.

Other than being on ICS, what other daily driver improvements do you notice in ICS vs Gingerbread that lead you to favor ICS unless you need the camera? Does face unlock work? I'd ask if the camera is faster but.. heh heh.

 So this is really daily drive worthy. TMOUS Sensation (I'm using the latest TMOUS radio, not the one listed on the ROM link)
Runs good. It's a touch stuttery but not slow. Sense breaks some of the Google widgets like Calendar and you're stuck with the Sense lock screen. You're also stuck with Sense's Settings menus which are loving awful. Everything works as far as I can tell; Camera, FFC, video, Face Unlock, BT, WiFi. Added bonus of the dev's ~~*CUSTOM*~~ boot splash which makes you hate everything ever but you know, XDA. First boot takes loving forever and I would give it a couple of reboots after it's done syncing before going wild. Edit: poo poo, sorry about the double post. Also, HTC + ICS =

Civil posted:From the thread, it sounds like there are issues with the music player, wifi, and lots of random app force closures and reboots on waking. Issues I've found so far: - Swiping gestures are off a hair. - WIFI works fine but sometimes the notification shows no signal. - BT works but A2DP doesn't. - Defininetly not CM fast but I don't have any complaints. CM7 is a better ROM but I got sick of the 8 hours of battery life. I definitely like this better than stock 2.3 Sense though. Pretty nice for an initial alpha release. Haven't had any reboots or a single FC of any kind.
