Root Time for a change of ROM?!?

Not sure, as I don't tend to use a lot of widgets... will check it out for you! I've not been so impressed with stuff like the fact that it seems to require a much longer press on the power button to wake from sleep and that, from the lockscreen, you can see the icons, but you can't select any of them, just open the screen (maybe I've not enabled something but, I think you should be able to select them with the ring from the word go).

Yup, that is one of the listed bugs for the DHD.
 
Oh no... another one. I just got started trying Ice Cold Sandwich.

@D-U-R-X. Just read that Virtuous Infinity is supposed to get an update early next week.

I have to turn off the screen and then re-wake it and it is there! :(

Yeah... now working for me too... I just rebooted and it was sorted! :)

Still not overly impressed with the ROM though... it lags a little :( As I said though, I'm not gonna write it off just yet, as I can now send MMS messages (which I've not been able to do far a dogs age) :)

A new BlackOut ROM with similar fixes will be out in a few hour with the same fixes.

Looks like the @root community will be getting an "official" like ICS ROM.

I think I will try the BlackOut ICS once out. It has Sense 3.6 which is probably lighter in terms of RAM requirements. Sense 4.0 was designed around devices with 1 GB of RAM.
 
looks like i got lots of flashig to do on all my phones! :D

i picked up an ATT one X and have been messing with it... so ive negleted the others for a few days :p

So its pretty much here? I mean, fully working ics

pretty much :) there may be small bugs,but the roms are still being developed.

im not real picky,as long as a few major functions work(data,phone,bluetooth,gps,basic camera/video) so there is nothing that stops me from using ice cold sammich or jelly time daily

and,as noted above,there have been developments with sense roms that are catching them up.
 
Just installed Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0 (Android 4.04, Sense 3.06).

No wake lock bug. Camera and 720p video work.

Some minor bugs, but stable and all major features work. Sense lags a bit with Clock + Agenda + Calendar + Twitter + Task widgets placed on the the homes screens. But if you enable Supersmooth or Ultrasmooth Rosie, it pretty fast.

So I'm just backing everything up before installing the newest Blackout ICS and happened to look at my phone while Titanium was backing up and noticed that it was backing up "The World"... I knew smartphones were powerful, but that takes the biscuit!! :)
 
Well... I have to say, I'm less than impressed... It's just not booting! :(

Tried to reflash the ROM, but same problem... boots to a black screen... nothing... can't actually be bothered. Gonna just restore for now and go back to Vanilla Android tomorrow. May even give Jelly Bean a go!

Pretty much same here. Boots up but just hangs on the HTC logo with white screen. Left it for half an hour and still the same. MD5 checksum are 100%.
 
Did you post that somewhere before? I was sure I'd read something similar, but didn't really have a proper look.

To be honest, I've never really been bothered by Sense ROM's and stuff like this doesn't make me want to try them!
 
Well this is utter rubbish... restored my backup of Virtuous and it's made me go through setting things up again from scratch... thank god for Titanium Backup!!!
 
Blackout worked for me... IColdS has lots of fc's so I'm gonna have to switch roms again.

I thought blackout was pretty good, although I dislike the aroma installer for some reason.

Virtuous was also very good and the camera was pretty quick :-D just need a crt animation and / or battery percentage and it's perfect... Well, nearly.
 
I was having loads of issues and TB wasn't working properly on my backup of Virtuous, so I'm back on IceCold!
