I recently got the photon 4g coming from the evo and sadly I only see like 3 roms. I thought this phone would be more popular and get more attention. Hope I didnt make the wrong phone choice.

i'm guessing because the unlocked bootloader is killing 4g - and people are waiting until there's a fix for that to start pumping out the roms...
Would you rather have fifteen mediocre ROM choices or a couple good ones? I guess what I'm getting at is what do you want in your ROM? We've got some very talented developers here and have a couple solid, daily ROM's plus kernals. I'm just waiting fora good ICS build to come out.
BTW I don't think you'll regret your decision.

First I think that we need to start with the fact that this is a drawn out question that has been brought up a dozen times (try looking). This is a question that will easily piss off several people in the XDA world, especially the seasoned posters. How many ROM's do you need? I also had a EVO and yes there were SEVERAL ROM's however most of the them were slight variations of the same ROM, just with a personal developers twist on it. (by the way - all hail the Developers). In regards to the MoPho, the unlocked bootloader is a issue, however, the MoPho ran better than the EVO fresh out the box. I personally am running CM7 and I can not believe a phone can be this damn responsive, this fast, and this damn awesome. So when you ask the question, Why so few ROMS - try clicking on one of the several links that the website refers you to that shows other people asking the same question. Remeber the golden rule to XDA - search for the answer first!

first of all, welcome to the photon community. hope you stay a while.
second, you will find that development has only just picked up heavy in the last month. the same went for the EVO, it takes time to develop.
third, please check out the roms we do have, they are wonderful and if you like CM7, we have that!
Id rather have a great build like CM7 then a million roms that are just a snowflake from being the same thing. few is better to me when it comes to rom builds.

Just go with Cybik's CM7 port. It is being submitted to Cyanogen for approval, so will be hopefully soon, a fully supported and "blessed" ROM. The lack of 4G is a non-issue for me, no 4G in my area, but would be nice to eventually get it for when I travel.

if your phone choice was based on the 'thought' or 'hope' of a certain number of ROM's or a certain quantity of development then you might want to re-consider the basis by which you make electronics purchases.
And for the love of all that is holy, please research/search before posting and stop insulting the development that we DO have. Obviously you haven't spent any time reading in the fora to make a fair assessment of the status of development for this device yet you are very quick to hop in the general forum and make (what seems to be) a complaint thread.
just sayin'
/soapbox
ALL ROMs on ALL phones are based on rooted deodex stock, AOSP or porting. 99% of those ROMs are nothing more than minor changes to either stock or AOSP. Almost everything can be done with flashable theme packs.
The remaining 1% are serious rewrites, optimizations or ports. For example, ROMs like CM7, Vaelpak and Synergy are serious coding. Changing the font or color scheme is theming and not a ROM.

Here's another problem. Complaints about Sense. If someone doesn't like Sense, why buy a phone that has it out of the box, and can't be removed without waiting for a developer to do it for you?
I'm a huge fan of Sense, and I look forward to getting 3.5, or 4.0, depending on what HTC brings to the table with the release of ICS.

I agree. If it was as easy to port Sense to a phone without it, then it is to get rid of it from a phone that already has it, there would be a lot of people using Sense on phones like the Galaxy series. It's amusing, really.

had a sgs2 for about 2 weeks... hated it. and from that experience i have decided i will never buy another samsung product again.
they will have an official ICS release from sammy in about 13 months. because that's how long it takes samsung to get off their ass with any kind of support. look at the epic and the gingerbread update. 6 months behind the evo 4G
HTC > samsung
I wouldn't mind a galaxy nexus. But I know I would get tired over it.. after a while. Then what will I flash? A gb colored ics?
With the evo 3d I can put sense on for a while..... but I'm keeping pics for a long time... live it
The sgs2s aren't bad but I hate that they made them 4.3 and kept the same resolution and aspect ratio... I hate how pixelated and how wide it looks. Do like the samoled especially the blacks. But its a hate love relationship because colors look good but they aren't correct. Compare the gray or stainless steel color the speed test app has on an sgs2 and the evo 3d... you'll see the colors, sharpness and aspect ratio..

I have been dying for a while. It must be very hard a lot of the roms want the phone to be S-offed but even then...IDK Its ridiculous the amount of roms i mean i kinda just want a sensation to play with you know?
The only similar parts in both devices are the screens (which are made my different manufactures) but that doesn't matter. its not hard to port a rom just because of screen differences, that's never been a problem. its the internals, the only part that is similar is the cpu/gpu which doesn't really matter either. there is a lot of differences. much different wifi as well
I think there is a thread covering this?
i dont have either of the phones... but i want the amaze because it is better than the sensation 4g, but i want the sensation 4g because of its wide variety or roms.
tough decisions!!!
but yeah roms arent hard to port... theres really only a couple things that you need to make a rom from another device boot on a different device. (i will let the more knowledgeable users take it from here)

you answered your question yourself "the amaze is a better device". doesn't matter how much better the development is. that's like saying I should get the g1 rather than the amaze because the development is amazing there lol
roms can be really hard to port if you don't have the right information (drivers, radio, etc). yeah, im sure it can be easy to port and boot up but no luck getting it stable so its pointless
Mabey if someone made a tool that was specific for porting sensation roms to the amaze, that would be sexy

this has been discussed previously, the sensation is a completely different phone on the inside...EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PHONE is different...porting from sensation to amaze is not even a good ide, they don't use the same hardware at all, ergo they don't use the same drivers, kernel, modules etc....HTC Vivid is the closest phone you will find to the amaze.

I'm genuinely curious if this big kernel source drop is going to be beneficial to us or not. I've heard two sides to the story:
1. "HTC b trollin' man, they drop source and release a new kernel..."
2. Devs can use the old kernel and fix the issues that HTC fixed, along with the other issues AOSP ROMs were having like sound and MMS.
I have no idea what's going on, and I'm curious whether I should expect things to blow up here soon, or if this kernel source has been essentially useless. I'm generally unaware of how long it takes devs to pick apart the kernel code and utilize it. Any input from those with knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Both are correct. It doesn't really help sense based Roms because sense kernels are going to be newer than source.
However, aosp roms can now be fully functional. Aosp is what many people on here care about and are waiting for.

It's not useless for aosp, the problem is nobody is really working too much on aosp roms. There is a cm and MIUI port but they are a ways off and only so much one person can do..

It still might, but I think I'm still somewhat jaded by the og evo and the support it had. The 3D never really had much, and it's looking like the lte is gonna be around the same.

It's only been a little over a month since the phone first came out. Give more people time to transition and we should start to see more activity. It isn't that bad so far, but most development is based around Sense because no one wants to wrestle with AOSP. Once they get AOSP stuff finished though, we'll be golden.

Yeah, I'm sure that's true. In my head, I figured everyone would be working to get to that point as quick as possible once kernel source was released. Like a giant team project, haha. Instead, it appears that only a select few are tackling it. Even custom kernels seem to be a rare mention. Oh well, I'll continue to enjoy the Sense ROMs as much as I can until someone cracks the AOSP code.

We just need the support of the big guys. For some reason it feels like most of the big time devs haven't moved on to this phone yet, or went with Samsung instead. I know that Preludedrew is working on JB for our phone, I talked to him about it yesterday on Gtalk. Deck mentioned in IRC that he was working on it as well, I believe.
The kernel developers are hiding so far, probably because we don't have the big guys working for us yet. I'd love to see a Tiamat kernel, even if I'm personally not a fan of custom kernels.

So far my experience with HTC phones have been a very disappointing one. Coming from the OG Epic, all I've kept hearing was how awesome the development for the OG EVO was. So of course when the EVO 3d came out it was my phone of choice over the Epic Touch. That was disappointment number one. Then when the LTE came out, I've noticed all the OG EVO developers and owners was all excited about this phone, so i decided to give HTC another chance. So for I've been more disappointed then at any point. The lack of ROMS, the pitifully performance of sense 4 and HTC's new stance on locking bootloader and sneaky updates with new Hboots was the last straw. What phone will I get next? Im not sure, but it won't be a HTC.

If you check out the aosp threads, they all mention ongoing development.
We JUST got kernel source. Devs have day jobs, they do this in their free time

Oh I know that, and I no way meant to say the devs aren't doing great work. I just wanted to explain why he said there were not a lot of ROMs right now. I understand that statement, although there is plenty of reason for why that is.

If so, let's do it here! Anyone tried this ROM yet? I remember for the OG EVO, he made one of the best ROMs there was. I'm assuming based on the time this took to drop that it will also be very impressive. I honestly haven't flashed it yet, but I'm curious how it is so far. Thoughts?

Looks like at this point it's just an optimized base and he doesn't want to do a ton to it because of the possibility of a new OTA soon.
Exactly what are people expecting on a sense rom that isnt already done?
I know for a fact that when it does drop with the new base it's gonna put every other sense Rom to shame

nvm its out
I'm more interested in this new OTA at this point though

Ehh.. I'm not saying it won't be a kickass rom, but I doubt that. There isn't much difference in performance in any sense rom. Some have awesome tweaks, some are smooth.. Some might give slightly better battery.
In the end, regardless of the sweeping statements people claim.. Sense isn't gonna get but SO smooth and battery isn't gonna get but SO good. I love Miks roms, just wish people wouldn't overdo it.

I mean, I'm not saying these devs aren't putting in excellent work, they are. It's just that you can't do but so much with a sense rom.

You know what I wanna see. Back with my Verizon GNexus, we had real time weather updates in the statusbar. It was built into AOKP. Frikken loved it. Not sure really how it works, but it worked perfectly.

Is it being released here, or only on mikmik?
only on mikmik for now i think
Wait till he releases it with his miktweaks. Then viper 4g will have something to compete with

Aren't all the tweaks pretty much like Leedroid Tweaks?
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks are what's built into viper - amaikam has some similar tweaks (ran his roms on the OG - guy's a monster - can't wait to try out his full rom when its done), but if you're looking for the original leedroid, that would be viper.
I thought they were Leedroid. I will try to learn how to do my own roms etc when I get a pc. I've been dying to make a rom called Kao Rom with help from all the beast developers like Virus, Leedroid, Toast (maybe), Mikeyxda etc. Then I'll be a great developer too, & give back to the community.
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks were developed by j4n87, who developed them into that pokemon rom (whose name I forget), who then worked with viperboy and vin on incorporating those tweaks into into the viper4g rom for the lte (and the other team venom roms).
Good luck with your rom - but if you really want to give back to the community, you don't need to be a developer, or even have a team (Team Transcendent, I guess? lol). Just be respectful, help people out, and try to leave xda a better and more helpful place for people to learn.
I loaded it today.
Been running MeanROM 2.6.
It has a setting in the settings to choose how you want your soft buttons mapped which is pretty cool.
It has Google Now built in like MeanROM.
And it has Sprint HotSpot enabled that actually worked for a while (I wanted a Bluetooth Tether) and could not get anything to work at all but it worked on this ROM (for a while).
I went back to MeanROM 2.6 for now because the built in Google Now has the same issues as MeanROM 2.7 and up (which has Google Now) in that it completely breaks Voice Dialing over bluetooth.
It has all the Rosie Mods too.
It's definitely more than a "base".

How is it a competition? It's open source
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I think he simply meant that Viper would not be the obvious choice that it now is. I doubt he literally meant a competition.
