Whats the screen size on the HTC Vivid?im looking for a secondary phone

4.5" I really like this phone. A lot of people are dissatisfied with the level of development, but just today, things are starting to take off...lots of folks getting excited about learning to cook roms! You may consider waiting for the HTC OneX...check it out!!

I personally love this phone...don't think you'd hate it!

Oh good! I have always purchased HTC devices since I was on AT&T. Had two HTC tilts but hvent had a HTC android... I will check out some Youtube reviewson the Vivid and on the new device you are speaking of.


4.5" is a nice size screen. Its doable. I know I cant go back to the tilt-size screens

I came from the inspire 4g, and it has a slightly smaller screen than vivid, but the vivid is great...especially with this update....much faster!!!!

Besides, then we'd be hanging out in the same forum...it would never be boring!!!

this also appears to be a factory push...unfortunately the files have the ability to be renamed...i'd have to open it to see, and i just can't investigate right now....kids gotta make it to the bus!!

This is the thread it came from originally... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528824

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to pressure you into anything...You need to be comfortable before you do anything to your phone. Its too much headache/heartache if something bad happens! i just want to make sure that we all have all the same info! The vivid community isn't nearly as active as some others, so we gotta look out for each other!!!

 

[woodsytattooman]

Thanks for the thread.No worries i enjoy reading all the information and projects they have going on.I may still try this.I will let you know when and if i do.Thanks again!

Is there another place that I can download this? The original link doesn't work anymore and I'm downloading the RUU from file factory but it is crawling at a snails pace.

Edit: Nevermind I found one.=)

Thats actually the one that I posted in the instructions i wrote. Glad you found it! Did you flash it yet??

 

[mogey79]

Not yet, still downloading. Have about 100mb to go so in the next ten minutes. =) Relocked my bootloader, backed up my stuff, and I'm ready to go. I just put ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 last night and can't wait to put it on my Vivid!

 

[mogey79]

Just finished flashing. My initial impression is...nice! Scrolling between screens is a lot smoother and app launching seems to be a little bit faster. Can't to really mess around with it later! I just wish they would leave the stock android keyboard. I really hate the Sense keyboard.

Download Gingerbread Keyboard from Market. From the home screen TAP Settings, Tap Language & Keyboard, Tap Gingerbread Keyboard. Once you've completed this, open your stock text messaging app. Tap in the text box. When the keyboard opens, you will see a keyboard icon show up in the drop down bar at the top of your phone. Drag the bar down, Tap Select Input Method, Tap Gingerbread keyboard...

Should set you up nicely

 

[mogey79]

Thanks! I'll get that!

I am getting a little bit of lag between receiving a text message and then receiving a notification sound. Usually a good 8 secs pass from when I receive the sms and then the notification sound. At the same time, my phone is re-installing all my apps so for right now I'm just going to attribute the slowness to the processor being used up by the restoring settings and such.

once its done downloading and updating...reboot. ICS optimizes every time the Dalvik Cache is wiped...i.e. reboot...

Like a brand new toy? I love the feeling!

I forgot to ask how is the security screen set up on this ROM?
Does it have the face recognition like everyone was saying?
Also if i install this ROM can i update to AT&T's ROM when its released or will my phone be seen as already updated unless i revert it back to stock first?

Let me look into the face recognition...haven't found it yet...

My phone has the "AT&T Software Update" button. As of now, when i tap it, it says "Software Up to Date"

It should be under your lock screen or security lock settings.
As far as the update it will say that until at&t releases it prob,But then im not sure what it will say lol.
