Oh happy day!!!!

Way to go Nils!!!
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
Happy happy joy joy. :) Thanks Nils. :)
[HTC Rezound] brownsfan:
Damn you Nils! I just flashed a ROM yesterday. Now I have to wipe my phone again! and flash this because I loved your Dinc roms. I have to reinstall all my apps and set my screens again.

Geeze, how dare you go through all this work to please us.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Nice, any liquid ROMs coming soon? I had Liquid Nonsense running on my Tbolt and it was flawless and fast.

Question... will Ziggy's kernel run on this ROM?
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
Can all of the included apps be uninstalled?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Congrats on your first Rezound release!
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
I heart you Nils :D
[HTC Rezound] Clamster:
Can't wait to flash. Thanks NilsP
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just remove them with a fflile explorer or Titanium
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
I have run your ROMs in the past, and have never had an issue with Titanium, as long as you restore the APP ONLY, not APP and DATA. Trying to restore APP+DATA on a different ROM calls for disaster, but just recovering the APP ONLY is completely fine.

YMMV.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
O Happy Day! Thanks, Nils. Looking forward to this.
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
Nils is the wireless tether in this ROM only AD hoc?
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
This may or may not be possible, but I would love to see 5 rows on the sense launcher screens. We have all this resolution and sense is still built for the Eris!

Just a thought. Thanks for the quick work, looking forward to flash this one over the weekend!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I wonder if CWM is the common problem. I know CWM is having problems and 2 people had PMed me with the bootloop and they were using CWM. I suggested switching to Amon Ra and one got back to me that they did and it flashed and booted fine.

If that is the case I think I know what the problem is and may be able to make some changes in the install script to fix it and hopefully without breaking Amon Ra. So some testing is in order for the future.

In the mean time I guess I will only recommend Amon Ra since that is what I use and have never had a problem.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Did you install both pieces of the kernel? There are 2 parts, the boot.img that is best done with fastboot and the lib/module which is a flashable zip.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
If I'm not mistaken, dsb's kernel is a one flash system. Flash zip in recovery, it flashes the modules, then creates the PHXXXX.zip on the ext_sd card, boots to fastboot. It asks to press power to enter bootloader, finds the PHXXX.zip and asks if you want to update it. Vol. up, updates, then power to reboot. Am I misunderstanding this procedure?

From bamf site:

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, THIS IS A SINGLE FILE

To install this kernel:

Copy the file to the root of your SDcard.

Reboot into recovery (CWR or AmonRa).

Flash the file from the SDcard.

At the end of the flash the phone will reboot to fastboot.

Once fastboot loads, tap PWR to get to HBOOT.

HBOOT will find the update and ask you to install.

Tap Vol Up to begin the install.

When it finishes it will say tap PWR to reboot. Do it.

After the phone boots remove the PH98IMG.zip file from your SDcard.

Use AnTuTu CPU Master (Free) to set min/max/gov/voltage.

Enjoy!

Thanks to ziggy and con247 for getting us started and having stuff out there for me to get ideas from.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
tried again and still didin't work. i did notice when rebooting into recovery is says ph98zip.img has no image. i used the directions for flashing recovery but i did not flash the kernal, is it neccesasry to flash the kernal as well in order to flash a rom. is that part of my problem as to why i can't flash a rom, i can backup and restore just fine. this is killing me not being able to flash this ROM!!!! please help im a little lost. thanks,

Jake
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Did you see my questions a few posts back?

The image not found is good that means it did not find a PH* file on your sd card. If you do have a ph* file on your sd card delete it.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
1 amonra

2 do you mean boot into recovery?

3 pc and transferred to root of sd

4 not sure checking now but its the same one i used to flash your roms on from my incredible.

thanks, i didn't realize that was intended for me.

Jake
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
It could very well be CWM. It's not an "official" version for the RZ and Bored's ROM won't even install with it.

I'm hoping to see an updated version soon, but may have to switch over to Amon Ra in the meantime just to handle my flashing habit. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
quick update, i was able to flash scotts cleanrom and it worked just fine so now im really stumped.....
[HTC Rezound] Web501:
Nils, it looks like I'm having this problem too. I also started with a fresh unlocked phone with no other installs. Here's my info from the first attempt.

1. Amon Ra 3.1.0

2. Wiped all

3. Downloaded from PC and copied to SD card

4. SD card is fat32

I got excited when I saw trickster2369's post #180 and hoped installing a kernel with the rom would get me up and running. Unfortunately after follow his instructions I'm still stuck on the two repeating screens.

I'll keep an eye out for future updates. Your rom looks great and I can't wait to try it!!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
RUU

Nils - For lack of anything better - would you be willing to RUU your own phone back to pure stock and then document the steps you take to flash v1.2? If you happen to recreate the bootloop, all the better. If not, maybe your steps will shed light.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
That's the exact thing that's going on for me. I figured it was something I was doing but I was able to flash cleanrom. I'll be anxiously awaiting an answer.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Folks. I have flashed this rom in under every possible condition such as from the RUU, earlier version of this ROM, other ROM's, flash over this ROM, fresh installs, etc. and the only time I had a problem was when I was coming from a ROM that had a custom kernel. I fixed that by flashing the stock kernel with my ROM.

I am in the process of creating a updater script that should work with CWM and will work better with Amon Ra also just incase that isn't good enough.

In the meantime, try flashing the stock kernel before flashing this ROM.

You can also try running Joel's super wipe script in this sub forum.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If anyone want to experiment they can take the attached file and remove the .txt from it and replace the same name file in the ROM zip with it in the

META-INF\com\google\android folder

This may fix the install boot loop that some folks are experiencing.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Can also try running oneclick root before the install
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
I flashed your roms on my incredible without a hitch so I'm just fruatrated about not getting it to work right. I ment no disrespect. I didn't flash any kernals I was coming from the stock Rom. Just trying to figure out how to get this working. Thanks.

Jake
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Try the 2 things I posted above. I am thinking it is one or both of 2 things. The mounts in my script or the fact that the phone was not pre-rooted. See the 2 posts above and try both
[HTC Rezound] computerfreek:
Flashed 1st time for me coming from clean rom 1.3.

Nice Rom so far. Just starting To load my apps now.

Thanks NilsP

Ps

Wipe 2x Times And the .android Folders also.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
just a question on a normal boot does it flash between two screens or no?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
From boot should be

White HTC screen

Single image that says Business Sense

Repeating animated image with waving droid
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Wiping the /sdcard/android.secure in recovery may also help with the first time install bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] Web501:
I'll give this a try. Does it matter which kernel I'm on? Do you have a link to the kernel you're using?

Thanks for helping the noobs!

Tim
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is the stock kernel. Just flash them at the same time. You can extract the boot.img from the zip and fastboot install it if you already have a custom installed.
[HTC Rezound] computerfreek:
When I got up today my phone was in a bootloop. And pulling the batt did not help I was running the Rom for a few hours last night even rebooted Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] Web501:
Nils,

I tried all three suggestions and still no luck. Any other thoughts? Is there any way you can post a copy of the exact kernel you are using?

Thanks again for helping with this,

Tim
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Post 1 updated with version 1.3

Release 1.3

* Advanced Quick Settings

* init.d support

* ramscript

* A little more themeing

More importantly it may fix the problems people are having with their first installs.

Will flash over 1.2

Fresh flash recommended: Factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and wipe .android_secure
[HTC Rezound] Web501:
Nils,

The 1.3 version works great!!!

Thanks,

Tim
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Good news.

Thanks for letting me know
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Nils, this one installed and booted without any issues. I'm still putting it all back together with Titanium, but so far, so good!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
More good news

Just in case people are wondering there were a couple of reasons why people were having a first use problem.

I had one or two steps in the installer that did not appear to be compatible with CWM. I finally remembered that from my Inc days

With all the changes back and forth with the Extended Quick Settings I introduced a corrupt file that is part of the framework. Seems it did not matter if it was a flash over my ROM but when it was a first install of mine.

Hope that does it for every one.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If you are having WiFi problems on 1.3 flash this in recovery WiFi Fix

I accidentally posted a file with a bad wpa_supplicant bin file. That is all that was different so no need to flash this if you are OK
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Yup, just noticed that. Otherwise, ROM looks and feels great so far.

Now if I can just find someone who can do a blue theme (overscroll, battery, etc). :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah, sorry. I experimented with the wpa_supplicant that was posted as a fix for the WiFi Tether and forgot to take it out before posting

Try the UOT Kitchen where you just need to supply the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and systemUI.apk from this ROM. http://uot.dakra.lt/
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Yeah, I used to do a lot of stuff there for my DI1. Guess I need to re-learn!

Nils, is the "swing-in" animation part of this ROM, or is that some other setting on my phone somewhere?
[HTC Rezound] jermaine151:
Hey Nils! Great to see the Business Sense series continue. Happy New Year!
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Good to see you here Jermaine! Hope to see a couple rome from you!

EDIT: Just saw your tapa sig :(
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If you mean the way the home screens come in from the side on unlock yes.

Hey, good to see you here. Are you just visiting or going to join us. Hope the later by I guess not with Nexus in your sig.
[HTC Rezound] jermaine151:
I'm just going to lurk and watch you two put out the good stuff! :) It's hard to turn back from this phone. :(
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
Quick update. The issue with my phone getting stuck is now gone thanks to 1.3! It flashed perfectly the first attempt. I'm happily posting this reply via gingersense! Thanks nils!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
My pleasure.Glad we worked it out.
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
Running 1.3 works great except for wtether. None of the roms i have tried have working wireless tether, not a big deal.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nils, I so badly want to get back to your ROMS, but I am dying for the right Rosie button remap. Any chance of seeing this in your ROM?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Nils, this version installed great and everything seems to work ! Love the little theme elements,only change I would ask about is getting rid of the verizon tab :D
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Ahhh, finally unlocked...

So good to see the familiar Nils boot animation @ startup. Looking forward to enjoying your ROMs on the Rezound!

Question:

I temp-rooted and did a Titanium backup before unlocking so I could restore my forum apps, texts, and login info. Since installing the ROM, I can't find any backup data. Any idea where it may have gone?
[HTC Rezound] GordoGuapo:
The backup data for TB goes to the internal storage of the phone. The Rez reads it as an SDcard so it backs everything up there. This partition gets wiped during a factory reset, so your data is most likely gone. I learned this the hard way, too.

The real SD card is mounted as ext_SD

Sent from the Rez Beast
[HTC Rezound] GordoGuapo:
Updated to 1.3 and running smooth! Thanks for your hard work Nils!

Sent from the Rez Beast
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Why is this in this thread.

Yeah, we are working on that to get it to work in other than AdHoc mode

Chingy has not released Tweaks so I will have to do it on my own.

I assume you mean in the all apps window. I will work on it.

What he said.. Sorry

The backup data for TB goes to the internal storage of the phone. The Rez reads it as an SDcard so it backs everything up there. This partition gets wiped during a factory reset, so your data is most likely gone. I learned this the hard way, too.

Hey, I love doing it. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Ugh, I had a feeling you were gonna say that. *sigh*

Dang... Well, live and learn.

On a lighter note, this ROM is very nice. Feels like stock, but faster; more responsive.

I can't wait til we have all the visual tweaks that were in the ROMs you and Joelz's built for the Incredible.

Thank you, Nils!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
v1.3

Nils - I love that you are making the Rezound into the Incredible (and getting the $100 refund from VZW last night was not too shabby either). Hopefully you won't burn yourself out on these requested tweaks ... I suspect they will all need to be binned once ICS comes out and everyone starts anew.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
There is a setting in Titanium to redirect the backup directory to the real removable sdcard (i.e. sdcard2 or /sdcard/ext_sd). You definitely want to make sure you've fixed that before running your last preflash Titanium Backup.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
I did a backup as I've always done and titanium still worked for me. Just an FYI.
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
REFUND??????? WTF?? Where was that??? lol
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
??

All over the place. Read the threads about REZOUND FOR $199.

Since most of us are still within the extended worry-free period, you can always tell them you will just return the phone. They are more than happy to give you the price difference back.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah my luck I was forced to get it on the 14th since my Inc broke the day before. Timing is everything.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
That's pretty funny, Nils. My Incredible broke November 15th, right after I had seen the Rezound and decided to stay with my Incredible for a while longer. I had to rush out and by my Rezound the morning of the 16th before a 4 day business trip (and before my Incredible's cracked LCD completely went black precluding any kind of recovery of data (at which point my line was transferred from my personal account to my employer's).

I just got off a lengthy call with Big Red and convinced them to apply a $65 credit to my employer's account (since I'd have had to pay the "restocking fee" before repurchase anyway.

I bill about 5 times that an hour, but it was the principal of the thing.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Hey Nils!

Any chance we'll see some form of Quick Launch in your next release? I loved having that on my Inc. Miss it a lot.

Thanks,

The Beeb
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Looking for the "like" button..... :cool:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Got it to install but it needs to be resized and get the add buttons working.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If you are like me you hate the keyboard in the Rezound since it has no arrows or easy way to navigate the text.

Well, lllboredlll, with a lot of effort, solved that problem by porting the arrowed keyboard. I will be adding it in the next release.

lllboredll's Keyboard

Be sure to thank him...

UPDATE: Stock Rezound keyboard is in post 3 if anyone tried the arrows and want to go back to stock.
[HTC Rezound] 2K3GTP:
No WiFi

Hello all,

I am running the 1.3 version of this ROM with Ziggy kernel and WiFi will not work, it says error.

I have reflashed the kernel and also flashed the WiFi fix posted earlier but still no love....

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bill

Edit:

I flashed back to the stock kernel and all is good now....
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
did you try flashing the wifi fix first?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Anybody having trouble getting the lockscreen short cuts to stick? I've flashed 1.3 twice and they won't stick. I can change them in the personalize section just fine, but when you shut it off and turn back on, they are the stock settings.
[HTC Rezound] 2K3GTP:
Yes, twice.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Adding it to the ROM as an additional feature, or replacing the arrowless keyboard completely?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Replace. But I will post the stock as an addon

UPDATE: Stock Rezound keyboard is in post 3 if anyone tried the arrows and want to go back to stock.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Stick fine for me. Did you remive or freeze anything?

Reflash without a wipe and see if that helps.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Is the Trace function more accurate with the arrowed keyboard?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It appears to be. As a matter of fact everything seems to be more accurate. I don't think I have accidently added a period instead of a space since using it. As a matter of fact I have had to use the arrows for corrections less than before
[HTC Rezound] Dodger70:
I personalized my lock screen shortcuts and the are working just fine

Sent from my Rezound w/Nils BGS1.3
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Hey Nils, what about that really cool black keyboard you made for the Incredible? Could you make one for the Rezound with Trace functionality?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Actually been working on that as a side project. Got everything but trace working now just have to resize it.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Was on a removal rampage. Must have got one by accident earlier. Flashed over and working fine now.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Wow very cool!

Has anybody tried running Chad's new Incredikernel Beta on BGS?
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
Trying to remove Verizon's default bookmarked pages from the browser in your ROM Nils but I am missing something. I would love to see those two removed from there. Small thing I hope, but are those something we can modify or something you have to do via the Rom side? I cannot delete them like all the other garbage pages they think I want. :(

Thanks for your excellent work yet again though. Used your Roms on my Incredible and now with the Rezound.

Also, I tried using the boot animations from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439658, specifically the GreenOrb but when I overwrite your animation zip as you describe on this Roms first post, after a reboot, nothing happens. Noticed that when I copied it over, the permissions were different from all the other files in \system\customize\resource\ . Could this be a permissions issue for Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip?

Thanks for all your help!
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
Its cool that we can use the flashlight from the quick settings, but it be flickering a little bit. Doesn't happen from htc's flashlight app or TeslaLED. Just from the quick settings. What could be making it do that?

Sent from my Rezound running BGS 1.3
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
There are 2 or 3 that stick so I will have to see if they can be removed in the ROM.

Not all the animations on the thread work right. Link me to the specific one you are using and I will see if I can fix it.

Yeah, the QS Flashlight defaults to even higher than the max in the app is why it flickers. Have not tried to fix it.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Last time I had to remove Verizon bookmarks involved sqlite and pulling browser.db. Hope it doesn't come to that for you.
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
Alrighty then. I typically go straight to the app anyway. Just wanted to know what was up with it :)

[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
The one I tried specifically was: http://www.multiupload.com/ER3N9F3QV2 (Green Orb)

I noticed in WasabiWa83's second post for that thread that he has your Rom listed as

so I tried to see if it worked or not. Thought I was helping by getting your ROM listed as Successful. :o

Thanks again Nils.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Here ya go. Try this - GreenGlobe

It works but it only has 5 of your images in the VZW folder and has mine in the android folder. The problem was that the files were jpg files and it appears it only likes png. Plus the txt file was compressed. I did not have time to convert all of yours but atleast now it works. Just rename it to the correct name for the ROM.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Update post 1 for version 1.4

What kind of battery life are you guys getting? how much better is it then the Dinc, did your dinc have a extended battery?

just wondering what I can expect
