Feedback

Hi Scott,

You've done it again... awesome ROM (ref. to "Senseless ICS 2.0")!

Will donate again to show my respect and appreciation for your hard work. Keep up the great work, brah!!! :D

Similar to the other fella before, I did a full factory reset, plus dalvik, plus cache wipe - topped off by yet another factory reset - prior to flashing. Never had a single issue, and always kept root.

Adding to the recent posts:

1. Things WORKING WELL for me:

- Battery live seems OK, for now (much better than other Rezound ROMs, but a far cry from my previous Samsung E4GT..);

- Charging goes up to 100%. I'm using Battery Solo Widget, since I haven't figured out how to have the battery icon show percentages yet. Not a real issue, though;

- Camera + Effects work well;

- Love the ICS dialer!

2. WEIRD Stuff:

- Coming back from nandroid (and subsequent 'wipe cache' + 'wipe dalvik'), the system showed an "upgrading" logo; a square with green frame, counting the number of apps. Scared me pretty good, but must have fixed my lockscreen (since that was messed all of a sudden, on Day 2). - Weird! - So, is this ROM self-healing? What kind of black magic did you add, Scott?? :eek: :eek:

- Since you stated that OC is a no-no, does that also mean under-clocking is out of the question, too? My clock resets to 1512 every time I boot... (UC does not stick). I'm using Antutu, BTW.

3. Things that DON'T WORK:

-Facial Unlock... doesn't seem to come on reliably (hit or miss). All it did is mess up the unlock screen, as 50% of the unlock wallpaper now are plain black. *see attached snapshot*

Everything else is JUST AWESOME! I LOVE THIS ROM!!!!
[HTC Rezound] nkoig:
No data?

Great work and kudos - it looks great but:

Major issue:

Installed and everything appears to be in order, but cannot get mobile data. I have enabled (and toggled) always on mobile data (which was enabled by default) but regardless I get mobile network status disconnected in the phone status menu. Reinstalled ICS twice, rebooted, etc., but no luck. Reverted to GB and boom, there it is. Any ideas?

Minor issue:

One (maybe more) of my google contacts will not appear when I sync. Didn't do an exhaustive search, but at least one just will not show up on the phone, even though it exists in my Google contacts under Gmail on my PC, even after multiple forced syncs. Very strange.

Thanks in advance for any advice and apologies if I'm missing something obvious. All part of the fun.

--This is actually an ICS feature.

I had the GNEX before getting this Rezound. It would do this when I would install a MOD or something like that.
[HTC Rezound] androidarmin:
Thanks for letting me know, andybones!

I guess I'll do a dalvik + cache wipe now, to find out if that will fix my lockscreen again...
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Did you go to Settings--->Data Usage-->Mobile Data and toggle that setting On / Off?

Not the Always On Mobile Data in Network Settings?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
Very Welcome!

- to OP, I am not one for AOSP, in-fact it was my main reason for tradnig the GNEX for the Rezound, I've been with Sense since the Eris, Inc1, Inc2 and now Rezound, and I have to say this is a bang up job!! it run better on the Rezound than it ever did on the GNEX! I'd be at about -90dBm and the Rezzy has me at -75, but great job man! and thank you.

should consider adding in the OP to NOT update super user binarys.
[HTC Rezound] androidarmin:
[Q]: "Not an AOSP guy..." - What's not to like?

Hmm... For the second time today, I've come across a statement like this. And I honestly don't understand it.

Help me out, please: what's wrong with avoiding all the "Carrier clutter" and "bloat apps".. and, most importantly, the crappy carrier overlays that usually have negative effect on your battery life and overall user experience???

As for me, I've never had a GNex/AOSP device, but I'm freaking happy about scrosler's ICS (?) ROM... as I don't have to deal with HTC's boring overlay/UI anymore. - Pls. let me know (...even though this thread may not be the perfect place for a discussion like this... sorry, scrosler :p)
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Well, I can't seem for the life of me to get correct APN settings. Its loading these "test" apns from a file in the rom, but even when I change them it doesn't update. Unfortunately ICS prohibits 3rd party apps from writing apn settings so we can't restore settings from a different rom.

Scott, I have the file its loading these goofy ones from, its in /etc/, so maybe I'm facing the issue u were saying about system files not wanting to update properly. Unfortunately I have to go to work, and need my phone working, so I can't play around with reflashing anything right now...damn not having more hours in the day!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I have not had any time to dig I am pretty sure when I do we will figuere it out.

Im gonna try the stock Rooted ROM and see if that fixes anything. If it does then we can rebuild base step by step until it breaks. When it breaks we will know what broke it. Needless to say this very time consuming so I am going to "open up" all the knowledge to every dev on here as to waht we did to make this build work. This will also hopefully encourage other devs to get in on the ICS game without feeling like they are "kanging" anything.

If you guys rely on me to fix everything I will take for ever :eek: lol

Im not gonna lie... I was a hardcore Sense fanboy. But after using this rom for a day... I cannot go back to Sense. I am even contemplating getting a Gal Nex here real soon. ICS 4.0 is on point!

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
What I and bored have come to learn is after updating SYS files you need to hard resert the phone and start over for the sake of testing. Or incorp the files into a RMO build and wipe and reflash.

Its not as eas as just pushing a file and rebooting (anymore). This is not true of all files but is true of some.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Scott, you're allowed to do that ONLY if you keep deving for the Rez. lol :D I'm in the opposite boat as you. I tried the senseless and it was just kind of boring. I'm digging the little added touches of ICS with sense. Your work is amazing to say the least.
[HTC Rezound] ieisha:
I keep getting process.android.phone not responding. What is that about and I'm not even on the phone
[HTC Rezound] androidarmin:
That's been mentioned a couple of times before... using "Search Thread" really helps. - Try it!

P.S.: Simply ignore the error...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Oh I would. Still touch on the Evo 4G and the Evo 3D. Rezound is beast... But ... Man, after playing with pure ICS... Its on point!
[HTC Rezound] twistedumbrella:
If you build it sense will not come. All you really need is a device tree and patching some prebuilt files that aren't quite ready and you could build a stock ics.

From what I've seen, most of the stuff we have would work, its just camera and data packages and frameworks that would need to be kept to make sure those things keep working.

^ Phone, frameworks, camera, contacts, and their libs and binaries.
[HTC Rezound] ieisha:
Sorry ! I try and read these all over again everyday guess I missed that one. I'm trying to ignore but that stuff wont stop LOL.....again sorry
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
If its doing it frequently then it may be something else. I am not even seeing it. At all, but I dont use the device as a phone.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Shutter lag has nothing to do with the camera app. That is a hardware function they incorporated.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
When you say "we have" what are you referring to? A working ROM form another device or something you built from Source? IM lost, lol
[HTC Rezound] ieisha:
Yeah I guess. Restarted it and haven't seen in again so maybe(hopefully) it'll stop.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Do you have to install a 3rd part launcher in order to add widgets to a homescreen?

Whenever I try to add a widget to the stock launcher all it gives is wallpaper options.
[HTC Rezound] twistedumbrella:
The source for msm / adreno / Qualcomm devices.
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
What app are you guys using that allows mms to work? I've tried go SMS but that doesn't work for me
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
No, you need to press the app drawer button then press widgets in the top of the screen :p

Cool Cool!
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
You have to go in your apps then select the widgets tab. Long press on the widget and add it to whichever screen.

Edit: I see scrosler has already answered you.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
I appreciate both answers. Can't believe I missed it.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
Anyone get wireless tether working? WTFRU 2.0.7 worked fine but it no longer works.

Id really like to keep ics and not hace to go back to GB just to use wireless tether.
[HTC Rezound] Shahaed:
I was told the only reason the GNEX had zero shutter camera was because of software. Other than that, the camera is inferior to the Rezound's.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
The lates build works fine. I tested it myself. Download from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Uninstall old version first!

How to set up Wireless Tether
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Ok, Good news!

I got all the bugs worked out of CleanROM.

I will be porting the changes to SenselessROM soon!

Confirmed Working by Me: 3G / 4G Data, WiFi, MMS, BlueTooth, Camera, Exchange, Wireless Tether
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Its both hardware and software. There's pros and cons to zero shutter. Most of the reviews for the nexus prime said a lot of the pictures weren't completely focused. Personally I'd rather have a minimal amount of shutter lag to have pictures in focus 100%
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
According to Vicious you can flash kernels through recovery on the rezound.

"fastboot boot recovery.img"

That boots recovery in a way that allows full access to flash kernel as well.

Can someone test that?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yep, I know that works. Thats how the ROM script is set up and very close to my CLeanFLASH tool works :eek:
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
From what I read, using that command will allow you to flash a kernel from recovery like a ROM.

No need to create a special file to flash in the bootloaded or need to boot into fastboot to flash with command line.

Could be handy. LOL
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
So here's my battery life from tonight...I'm impressed!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its all perspective on what is easy and not easy. Its all the same to me. Others may find it useful though.

Not too shabby!
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
If we had an option to boot into recovery with this command directly from the phone it would be great for simple no computer flashing. Problem is, it requires people to have the knowledge to do/use it.

Your new script is really handy though, its just a small extra step. I am sure others will start doing this as well. It is probably the most noob friendly way with s=on.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I dont think there are any fastboot binaries for the device though. Thats the only thing stopping that.

I cant take credit for the script, lllboredlll hooked me up with it.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Either way... it works well. So I think going forward it is the way to go for other ROMs as well.

I didn't think we could use those commands directly from the phone.
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Yah, at first I had strange fast battery drains - down to 20% around 5 or 6 hours off charging, then just yesterday I had 13 hours and still had 40% !!! Just weird, but I'm glad I'm getting good battery life now. :D

Looks like 2.1 is around the corner though. @scrosler Still full wipe for this next update?
[HTC Rezound] Kilch:
I quickly ran though the treads since my last post and didn't see it, anyone know of any udates? I'm sure Scott is fast asleep, well hoping so anyway. Really Just installed CleanROM 2.1 ICS Edition, but really want the Sense free version.

Kudos again Scott!
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
He said it would be 24 hours for the Senseless version he is on an earlier shift today so wouldn't have time to update the Senseless version.
[HTC Rezound] Kilch:
Cool, thanks for the update. :D
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Has anyone gotten screen filter to work? I usually turn my red/pink buttons off with it but it isn't working for me on this Rom. In fact they are staying on all the time

sent from my newly unlocked Rezound
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Nice!!!!!!!
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Thanks for the update. Senseless ICS is great right now but this update will just make it kick @s$ !

And then we'll get into Scott's battery/performance tweaks. Icing!

NOTE: If anyone wants a working camera shortcut from the lockscreen, until it gets ironed out, you can download Go Locker and use the ICS theme. I bought the HD ICS version though so I can also have shortcuts to the dialer and Google Voice. You do have to download Go Launcher Ex too but you can default into the ICS launcher.
[HTC Rezound] Kilch:
+110 :D That is an understatement lol
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Sorry, noob question.

Anyone know, when you do the wipe data/factory do you also have to wipe battery stats? Is there even an option for that? I always stuck with the default - whatever is checked off.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
If the lights being off is your biggest concern, check out the free app called Keyboard backlight controller.

It does a better job at keeping those lights off on those buttons.
[HTC Rezound] RS36:
Absolutely love this Rom. Been running it for 24 hours now and it's so smooth.

The only "bug" that concerns me is the battery. Mine stopping charging at 82-85 every time. When I reboot the phone, it will go up to 94 and stop. However, the second I unplug it, it zips right back down into the 80s.

Again, awesome work.

I wanna say this is about the best battery life I've ever had on any android phone. Been unplugged 9 hours and at 76%
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Don't worry too much about that. Mine does the same thing, but I'm getting great battery life = 13 hours and still had plenty of juice before I plugged it in (just used to charging my phone at night.)
[HTC Rezound] RS36:
I will second this. I've been using my phone pretty heavily this morning and the battery life has been incredible.

I want to install this but since cleanrom is at 2.1 I have a feeling this is going to be upgraded and I will have to wipe. Scott any input?
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
Scott has said that he is planning on getting an update out soon. I am waiting for it before moving to this one.

Currently on his GB Senseless ROM.
[HTC Rezound] bigbigdad:
I think he already said that as soon as he had the time, he would update this.
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
Scott should prioritize Senseless vs CleanROM. ^_^
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
He said he is going to be porting the fixes from CleanROM to this ROM. In the mean time, I flashed CleanROM and actually enjoy it!
[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
He's said before he like sense, he should prioritize what ever he wants. We benefit from his hobby and should be grateful for what ever he is willing to do for us.

[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
Can U flash clean ROM over this senseless with the necessary wipes. I guess what I'm asking is would there be a boot img/kernel problem?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Run antutu... Quadrant sucks.

It will... Not sure when... almost fell asleep driving to work and ran a red light... I need to sleep tonight. Have not done so since I got my hands on the leak. Only a couple hours here and there. And even then I dream of smali code and APK's.

This is addiction redefined!

Everyone that runs a Senseless derivate always says, lol Look at my Evo 3D thread.

There is nothing wrong with CleanROM now that I figured out all the gaffs I made.

I basically went overboard stripping out bloat.

Whooops... Some of it wasnt bloat... You do the math, lol

Its all good man, he was just joking... He is not serious.

But yeah, we are trying to fix some issues that occurred when I moved from my last web host.

It'll be a minute. Just keep checking.

Hey I have a suggestion for future versions.

If you can look at this thread from the E4GT.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444013

I really think the green looks amazing with the ICS interface, any chance for a theme or maybe this change for your ROM?
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
I was wondering when flashing the next update for senseless if formatting the system would help in the sense it would be a clean environment for the flash.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I got themes in the works. Just waiting for my graphics guy to get back with me.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
ROM always formats system before install. Its wiping data that is mandatory. That will make all the diff in the world
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Awesome to hear, appreciate it.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p35", "/data");

why dont just add that to the updater=script
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Cool beans. Thanks for the info.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Thats irresponsible?

What if someone does a framework mod that went bad and they just want to restore the stock ROM? Its not right to kill all there data.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
:( i guess
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
I am all of a sudden getting camera errors. When I use a app to take pics, like hdr+ or camera zoom, and then go to the stock camera it doesn't load. The screen goes black and then goes to the home screen.

Also, getting overheating as well, but I think that its just the phone since it was overheating on stock as well.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, people have noted the cam has been funky.

Tach, whats your best guess on Cam? Any suggestions. I was thinking about going with ICS cam but it cripples the megapixels.
[HTC Rezound] mf9120:
hey scott, i dont mean to be rude or pushy or anything, but are you going to add the fix for the mms to the build soon? I'm assuming its the same one as the clean rom counterpart right?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
I went back to the ICS camera... sure it only gives you 3MP out of the 8 (lol) but except for Panorama Mode everything else works.. and you get the Camera Lockscreen Shortcut working

I've stared threw those Smali's woundering if i can increase the MP's but no luck :(
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Maybe a foolish question but how come it only maxes out at 3?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
I would guess maybe a file within the app only limits it at 3MP or its a driver issue

But then again you can record at 1080p just fine:confused:
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Well... Now that you ask...

I was actually waiting for you to get pushy then I was going to release the fix...

So let me know when you get pushy....

Or better yet... Start reading form this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21645635&postcount=441

To your last post and that should answer it for you :p

{Cue joke here about needing more donations so I dont have to work so much OT and could spend more time building ROMS}
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, prolly.

But 1080P is technically only 2MP.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
This made me lol :D

EDIT: Went ahead and donated a tiny bit. I'll be able to donate more next payday. I want you building ROMs, not working lol
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
Its stuff like that, that makes question why bother putting 8MP/16MP camera on a phone.. seriously? sure nice pictures but thats what your DSLR is for... and even then stuff gets compressed on faceboook etc or printed pictures are in a Legal sized paper -_- .. I'm not a camera person

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

lol hes :cool::cool::cool:
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Wow it worked... I am going to put that in every post now!

Didint you donate already?
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
While ICS is nice, its just a tad bit laggy for me, and the screen flickering ever now and then is a bit annoying.

If I wanted to flash back to one of your GB roms, would I have to do any special that is outlined in the guide that is on the forums, or can I do a straight flash?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Lol, no I don't think I have. I've wanted to, but never have the money. I know I didn't donate much, but I'll give more later. My payday isn't until the 15th, so I'll be broke for a while :eek:

EDIT: And yes, in your signature you should mention that you're getting out of the business of building ROMs soon to work overtime unless you can get donations. I mean, pity donations are donations too! :D
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You can flash back to any GB ROM that I have by following the steps in that ROM's OP step by step. All of my directions are intended to take you from any one build to another so you should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
? just noticed (lol) the camera.apk has \lib\armeabi-v7a\libjni_mosaic.so file in it while the HTC one doesn't
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
did yo look in \system\lib\ in the ROM?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
its only in the camera.apk ... but not in the ROM itself (\system\lib)

I take my previous statement back.. Panorama does work

I removed that .so file from the .apk (7zip) and moved it to /system/lib.. Nothing Happened
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Has anyone else tried Nova launcher and was able to get widgets on homescreens to work?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
ICS Camera Panorama Mode only works when you have libjni_mosaic.so in the /system/lib
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
+1 I could never get them to work on Senseless and it still doesn't work on CleanICS. Do you just get the force close when you try? That was my issue.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah it just FC's when I try to add a widget. Although everything else functions.. Shame cause the stock launcher is not as smooth, but I did find a modified one that has the search bar removed and it all works.
