Announcement

Hi guys,
From now all my work will be on h_t_c_p_e_d_i_a, announcement of new roms or any other work from me will be on h_t_c_p_e_d_i_a.
So to be informed follow that thread.
Regards,
htcpedia? Why?
Just curious btw.
Maybe cause it's a bit less hard to keep track of things there.
Here you have to skim through roughly 40 new pages on the Villain Rom alone each day (I know that's not Lox's work but it's the best example), most of which is incredibly useless bull**** like "flashing right now", "uh my download speed sucks so much" or the 10th billion question about whether or not goddamn live wallpapers are working or not..
Of course these problems persist on htcpedia too, as they do in any forum, but not that bad. Probably just because fewer people use it.
To be honest, at the moment htcpedia seems pretty dead, not many active people there, and no or few discussion about recent roms.
Of what is too much here is too few there.
So let's either get the crap over there or the good stuff, so that at least one of these two forums gets really useable and enjoyable..
meh announcements should be done by twitter, faster and easier, and you dont have to read others' spam.
This comment is exactly what I meant..
You nailed it.

HTC Desire Development

So, for some reason i was just lurking around the Desire forums... they're seriously hurting, they are way behind in terms of development, compared to the Nexus One. Does anybody know why this might be? Since they're basically the same phone, why isn't the Desire (so to speak) neck and neck with the Nexi?
I know that the Nexus One is like the biggest badass of all the phones, and quite frankly i don't know why i'm even asking this, but i'm curious.
Because we have Cyanogen, Kmobs and many other amazing devs
It was the same if you compared the hero with the G1 and Mytouch. I think it's because of the framework of HTC and the HTC phones aren't that open as the nexus. this is why i like my Nexus
I owned a Hero and damn the development on the OS was pathetic the only one who really worked on Hero was Paul (modaco) the others did there best to. but it was nothing i even couldn't put CM on Hero. When the 2.1 came out it was ported to G1 but the hero had to wait, wait for a long time. there where some 2.1 releases for the hero but never worked 100%.

Nexarse one is a half decent phone, wouldn't say it was neck and neck with the superior desire but its ok considering they are similar. The problem is htc. I suspect a deal has been struck between google and htc giving the google phone a slight priority in terms of software release. Either way it don't matter massivley, because if people want froyo on there desire, they can get it. The same as all those nexus one users who wanted sense on there handsets,(but obviously on a lesser phone
By the way, hows that trackball holding out?

What are you, five? "Nexarse" is sure the height of witticism, just like "windoze" and "micro$oft." Sorry, boy, but the two phones are nearly identical except yours doesn't have a noise-canceling mic. Your fanboyism is wasted; it's like stamping your foot and whining that the HTC Hero is better than the Eris when the two are actually the same phone, with identical internals.

An ex-Apple fan by any chance? Your attitude's similar. And I've yet to hear of anyone's trackball falling out, ahaha. "Lesser"? Paul O'Brien recommends a Nexus over a Desire--he's got both--and I'll take his (much more knowledgeable) opinion over an immature fantard's any time.
I personally don't think development is going that badly, you have to remember the nexus one has 4 months over the release of the desire and it not being a world wide release doesn't help, hopefully things will pick up more when it gets official releases in the USA
Mod Edit: Post removed please consult the rules take that as a warning.
So... five?
Btw, the OP didn't mean it as sarcasm because this thread was originally posted to the Nexus One forums. Durrrrr.
Thread cleaned, show respect to other members rules are there to be followed.
Back on topic.
Easy, the nexus one isn't as locked down as the desire. And because a lot more people have a nexus one.
Sendt with Swype via tapatalk on my Desire.
I would have bought the nexus if it had been available because of the reasons above.
But it wasn't in Holland until now, I really do like Sense and all the fluff it adds, i'm not particularly bothered about banging a Rom onto a new device as far as i can tell it's not broken.
So only my posts get deleted, ok.
Let me try again in a more respectful and polite manner.
My initial response was to what I ASSUMED was abit of a tongue in cheek question. It got a tongue in cheek response together with my answer. It was simple sarcasm. It appears however the op posted this on the nexus forum and it was moved by moderators. The op probably did not even realize it would end up here. My response was wrong to the Equally disrespectful response that I got and apologize to anyone who saw it.
i dont know why dunbad is in trouble here for posting something that was intended to be funny
since when is it that if you post a joke you get some pompous person sitting in front of his computer with a thesaurus, dictating some sort of speech against the inhumanity of a sense of humour?
geez some people really need to lighten up
nexus one and htc desire, pretty much identical hardware wise, the nexus one has a noise cancelling mic, the htc desire has a bit more ram
nexus one runs stock android meaning its highly customizable
htc desire has htc sense which works really well, and is soon to get froyo like the nexus one
the development in the nexus one forums is SO great because youre all trying to get sense on your phones, lets face it it just takes one look at your development section to see that, what does the htc desire ACTUALLY need developed? its already got root, we CAN put whatever we want on, most people dont because it works perfect already. Froyo's readily available from the devs here, IF we want, and anyway we're getting it officially in a few days, so in all honestly, software and development wise, the htc desire wins hands down
easy as that
The nexi is great but I've noticed an issue with the "nexi." That doesn't seem to effect the desire. If you post a thread on xda nexi forum, the post somehow disappears, somehow reappears elsewhere and a little one liner appears in the subject field that says "MOVED". Its really odd. It happens loads. Go check out there general forums. Software maybe? Hardware? A bug perhaps? Don't know but either way the desire doesn't seem anywhere near as badly "effected."
People are saying this or that's better about either phone, but at the end of the day I wish I'd had got a nexi, in these difficult financial times I could have saved some money.
But anyway, I thank cgrec, but I don't see froyo coming to the desire officially anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that this has everything to do with handshakes in smoke filled backrooms between google and htc, froyo will be a few months away yet.i hope I'm wrong.

Some thoughts...

Hello folks, hope that everything's going great out there with your phones.
I have some thought's about the HTC Wildfire S..
Sadly, it seems that it's not going to get rooted in a while (unless you're a fool to buy the XTC clip), and even if you do that - WHERE ARE THE ROMS?! I can only see just one custom rom on this forum, and it's probably similar to the original, i suppose that's because there aren't even any screenshots of it!
Alpharev X was really a life saver, because they actually managed to overcome the ugly S-ON on the HTC Wildfire. But talk about getting disappointed when they wrote that some things didn't work out on the HTC Wildfire S. I think that someone from Alpharev X wrote;
"you're better off getting the desire S and/or up.
much better devices.
Wildfire S is just old **** in a new package."
WELL - WTF is Wildfire then?!
I actually read that 4 times just to make sure that it actually came from Alpharev x.. Thanks for that guys..
Sadly, i think that our WF S won't be S-OFF in a while, and if it does, people are going to forget it completely and custom roms won't exist for it.
Just read the Wildfire forum, people are launching new roms almost everyday!
Just my thoughts.
(btw don't complain on my English, you wouldn't write as well either if you talked 4 languages as i do)
You're right, Alpha guy with high level of culture and interpersonal skills ( maybe gay as for me...) told me the same on IRC, when I stupidly ask for marvel status ... Screw them.
Personally I'm waiting for HTC unlock, maybe near September we'll know something more ...
ROMs for Buzz are weird as for me, maybe 'cause I'm familliair with Cyanogenmod from previous device I can live without Sense at all.
Cheers

Im thankful that they worked on the Htc Wildfire, but it's REALLY a big shame writing that WF S is some old ****. Maybe i don't wan't to buy a f-ing Desire because it feels like carrying a eee pc in your pocket.
Let's hope that HTC will help us Have a nice day man!

Allgamer.

A lot of praise (and dollars) have been flying around these forums, and rightly so. There are a lot of extremely talented devs here on XDA but there is also another community of people who don't get a lot of recognition, and when they do it is more often than not negative. I've personally talked to, dealt with, and butted heads with quite a few of the mods on these forums and I have to say that Allgamer is one of the best. He's not rude, he's not short-tempered, and he actively participates in the forums he moderates. He rarely closes threads without an explanation and usually gives people links to the proper threads and forums.
Some of you may think I'm being a brown-noser but I thought it pertinent to add that Allgamer has actually infracted me in the past; that doesn't change the fact that (in most cases ) he's a great mod who deserves a little public recognition.
So (to put it in a terribly cliched manner) give the man a round of applause. He damn well deserves it.

+ 1 to that
Indeed he is a great moderator. The best Algamer!
I like him, one of the best I've seen on XDA
He seems like a fair mod. Most mods powertrip but it doesn't seem he does.
Deebo took your bike too?
Couldn't agree more. Really the only other XDA thread I've been on was for the Vibrant and I could not name one moderator (almost a year's time). Kudos to Allgamer for being so actively involved!
I like this thread. Big props to op and allgamer

I agree great job! but ive already told him this,,,,
Definitely agree. He's a more laid back mod. Maybe he smokes Mary Jane whenever he's not moddin'. Lol

Im with you. This mod is very nice.

I agree. The TMO SGS2 forums are certainly organized a lot better than the Amaze 4G forums.
Well, i'm new here and i have been browsing this forum almost everyday. I have seen AllGamer being replying to threads and actively guiding other to the correct or original posts in case some open a duplicate. Thumbs up to him.
Its nice to see so many people chiming in
@ OP: Very nice thread. Moderators here do their work for free, and most times, it is not that much fun. Allgamer is a good Mod and deserves this recognition.
Thanks for your kind words, and thank you to everyone who has chimed in.
It is appreciated.
+1 it took me a while to realize he was a mod because he was around so much.. just thought he was a fellow enthusiast!! Bravo allgamer
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna
+100!! All Gamer is the best. But he needs to get a GS2, he's still looking for one. Apparently Telus sold out.

Cyanogen mod and AOSP

Hello chaps,
Just wanted to reach out to see if anyone or any groups have thought about or are developing CM or AOSP based roms for the HTC 10? It's a hell of a device and i think it would be a great match up.
Personally i'm a big fan of Sense but i'm just curious as i've not seen any development or talks of development with CM.
PS: As well as CM, what happened to MIUI? I'm not a great fan of the launcher but the settings, lock screen and some components of those roms look so slick, just haven't seen a great deal of MIUI roms on any of my previous devices going back to perhaps the S3 ?
Edit: Wanted to not be such a massive jerk here, so editing this post. OP was right, I was pretty rude in my approach.

Perhaps you should think before you post yourself, please don't reply in this thread again unless you have something constructive to say.
Yes I overlooked that there was a thread already, There were two questions in my thread and you've answered one of them to a degree.
For that i thank you.
Lastly, if you feel that talking to someone in the way you've just spoken to me is inline with how XDA operates then you have a lot to learn, the effort you put in to shoot me down could have better been spent actually just answering me.

You're welcome for the partial answer. And I apologize for coming off rude. Honestly, I was trying to be very blunt and matter-of-fact, but re-reading it, you're right, I just came off like a jerk. To be honest, I'm a bit hungover this morning, and XDA over the past 3 or so years has just become generally tiring with the sense of entitlement from end-users. That's not directed at you; just a general observation. Honestly, I've done the same thing where I'll post something only to realize there's already a thread.
As far as MIUI, I honestly couldn't tell you. They seem to have kind of slowly faded and fallen from favor, at least in most of the forums I frequent. They wound up bringing some great features to the table, but I couldn't stand that UI, personally. I think the last thing I ran that on was a Droid X? I wouldn't be surprised to see MIUI 8 pop up on the HTC 10, though. Once the devs have the device trees all sussed out, I think the 10 will be about perfect. (Honestly, I'd really like a Nexus 6P in a Nexus 5X sized package, but the rest of the world seem to be a bunch of screen size-queens.)
We good? I really didn't wake up this morning just wanting to start crap, I promise lol

Now that is a great post mate. [emoji106] life's hard enough without arguing when you don't have to, I appreciate your manner.
And thank you for your answers, two likes coming your way
Also we've all had a hangover or two, no hard feelings fella [emoji6]
I am also awaiting some news or even better a release of such roms
Sense is great but I feel we still aren't reaching the maximum potential of our devices. Even these sense based custom roms aren't able to do justice in comparison. What are your thoughts?

It's odd mate, we have phone, the design, the dev's, just no CM ?
Although this is a device that could last for years.
