  • rachelm920rachelm920 January 9

    Me too! Just got it yesterday  :-D

  • hzm82hzm82 January 9

    I have it too, I miss CM7 and my keyboard on my cliq tho ><

  • PesTiciDePesTiciDe January 10

    I do have one too, I heard ICS is coming to Amaze on Q1 2012, I'm not sure if is fake or true but xboarder56 from XDA is building ICS from AOSP style :D Google it you will be surprise ;)

  • rachelm920rachelm920 January 10

    For now I am sticking to the stock ROM on my Amaze, its fast and I have no complaints. Besides you can theme the heck outta sense so I'm happy  :D

    The battery life isn't too great, but the same goes for any newer touch screen phone

  • XilandeXilande January 10

    i got the phone on sunday as well (jan 8), rooted and put revolution HD on it. i thought id miss the keyboard but i dont. on screen keyboard is so big in landscape it doesnt matter and with its responsiveness its too good lol battery life i will miss tho, CM as well

  • alobearalobear January 11

    I have it rooted, and i use beastmod or fourth bar sense. I just want a AOSP rom, i got soooo tired of sense. and BeastMod gets me closest, but i love the way ICS looks.

  • alobearalobear January 11

    xboarder56 that kid is such a beast. lol

    I FINALLY got a good deal from T-Mo. Got 2 phones, Amaze & SGSII and only paid the taxes. No downpayment! They took care of that but I have to pay and extra $35/month for 20months :/
    That's cool with me..I saved over $400!!

    What happened to those payments not being good? :P lol

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 12

    Lol...they're not but I didn't want to fork over $200 for each phone PLUS charging me an additional $20 and $15 on top of my monthly bill....So saving $400+ is good for me. ;)

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 23

    My Amaze isn't rooted yet. But the word on xda is that some people are getting ICS as testers. Do you think I should root before I update...I don't want to have problems with not being able to get root if/when the update is put out. Dilemma.

  • alobearalobear January 24

    you could root your phone if you wanted to, i mean the only thing out right now is really bulletproof which is pretty cool i guess. You do have all the benefits of being rooted. If you root right now you could always unroot, and you could always downgrade your software and gain root again. they are working on a asop ice cream sandwhich rom, so ICS, and its asop dang <3  

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 24

    Xda has too much drama...too many trolls..for the Amaze Section. The Roms by xboarder have been locked...ICS development is under wraps...hopefully an RUU will be available soon. I wish the Amaze had developers like the Cliq...it's ridiculous over there.

  • JassyCliqJassyCliq January 25

    What i would do is get root, then use SuperCurio's OTA Root keeper, basically what it does is keep your root even after an OTA :) It may or may not work on Amaze though as I haven't seen anybody post about using it. If I were you i'd check if it works on going from a older RUU to a newer one, but the problem i find is that the OTA may wipe /system which will be an issue for OTA Root Keeper... I'm not sure

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 25

    Thanks...haven't heard about that. Will give it a go. I have to unlock my bootloader to obtain root for the Amaze. I'm using my Cliq right now just so I won't get throttled..its kinda hard to not go over 5G nowadays.

  • JassyCliqJassyCliq January 25

    tell me about it, i went over 5gb in 18 days this month (got my HP Touchpad) lol 


    And this is from experience with Sensation. We have s-off and unlocked bootloader, when we got the leaked RUU we could upgrade with it but you would have a new HBOOT which would say locked but technically was unlocked. So what i would do is if it  ask you to update then download it but dont flash it. Then find the package so that you can unpackage it and just update the ROM (if possible) issue is that it might rely on hboot and radio matching (and some other stuff) so then it would be wise to change the stock recovery in the package with a custom one so that you could easily flash the su binary/app :)

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 25

    Ok..I figured as much.

    I need help unlocking my bootloader. Its not getting my identifier token...I know I'm doing everything correct. Maybe I have an outdated SDK...or outdated SDK files..

  • Double0EKDouble0EK January 26

    Nvm....I got it all done..I should've made a backup of my stock first but whatever..

  • rachelm920rachelm920 February 6

    @Double0EK I saw that on XDA too with the trolls and xboarder leaving... if we can just figure out where he went... I still have my Amaze with it's stock ROM and it isn't rooted. I had everything outdated too... guess sdk had a lot of updates lol. Anyhow how is yours running now with the root? 

  • JassyCliqJassyCliq February 6

    Don't put too much trust with xboarder. I've talked to him before, even helped him and he's cool and everything but if he doesn't like something he'll just drop everything and leave. For example, apparently with sensation Cyanogenmod didn't like that he was kanging them. IDK what happened but I heard that that's why he left O.o 

    Oh and also check his g+ he posted the website he's using now. Some .us site 

  • Double0EKDouble0EK February 6

    @rachelm920 my phone is running NRGZ Rom. It's a good Sense 3.0 ROM using a stock kernel. I've gotten my first 16 hrs with my factory battery .. I also attempted my first lockscreen theme. Did the Filipino Sun. It's posted in the Amaze Theme Lockscreen Thread. Are you gonna put out a theme for this phone? You should try AmazingSense by CypiS It's incorporated in the NRG Rom.

    @JassyCliq
    ya I seen that he posted that. I haven't been on his site. I'm gonna use NRGZ Rom for now until we get ICS. This phones development kinda sucks.

  • Saulcho009Saulcho009 February 7

    Yes, its quite sad... Xboarder is really our own dev :( I hope he doesn't leave the Amaze.
    Maybe we can get @ngiordano on the Amaze? :P

  • rachelm920rachelm920 February 9

    He's over on 
    android-dev.us 


    I just downloaded bulletproof 2.4.1 
    I like how you can customize the rosie shortcut. You have no idea how many times I've gone into the themes when I was trying to go to my texts lol that's where I always put the messaging icon when I had my cliq. I haven't really tested it out yet... its nearly 1230 AM and I gotta work 2morrow!!

  • Double0EKDouble0EK February 9

    NRGZ Rom has the Tweaks app..

  • rachelm920rachelm920 February 9

    Oh really.... well I've started theming... a pink and purple theme to go with my phone case lol


  • Double0EKDouble0EK February 9

    Nice...any chance of a guy theme? Haha

  • rachelm920rachelm920 February 12

    Well.. I've noticed after running this for a few days that I keep losing 4G. Never happened on the stock ROM and I know I'm in a good service area. 


    PS - I'm so pist that I paid over $200 for my phone and they had it freakin FREE yesterday

  • JassyCliqJassyCliq February 12

    You need the 5gb internet to get it for free ;) plus it would be a rebate that would come in 5-8 weeks :) id still pissed :)
