Anyone else get excessive battery drain with power saver on? I only got 12 hours today with 1.5hr screen time. Two days ago ago I got 1 day 9hrs with almost 3.5 hours screen time. Stock battery
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
This Rom has the best battery life I've had .I'm using the kernal it came with .Just need the video cam to work right .Am I the only one with video problems ?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Is it the rear cam or front facing cam giving you problems? Have you tried shooting at 720p instead of 1080p ?
[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
Loving the update, its so damn buttery smooth.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Ah I thought you were just trying to get me to "do it myself and stop asking questions" kind of thing. And I really don't like flashing without wiping, it has always caused a problem in the past for me.

I'll just wait for the update when I'm more willing to setup everything again.
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
It's the rear camera and only video .It starts and shoots but when I stop things lock up .Saving video spins but never stops.
[HTC Rezound] pmgreen:
I wiped everything, flashed and flashboot the boot. WiFi sticks on turning on. I'll get blank black screens (buttons are red) and bad lag.

Does this ROM just not like me?

Currently on Viper and everything works fine.

Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
I had wifi issues when I forgot to load the boot.img file from the zip.
[HTC Rezound] pmgreen:
On Newt's site there was a boot.img that I downloaded and flashed. Does it have to come from the zip?

Also noticed it said Sense 4.0 and not 4.1, is that right?
[HTC Rezound] webleeper:
Have you tried flashing another kernel?

I haven't had any issue whatsoever with DSB's 2.3.9 kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861056
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I think every ROM will have a boot.img in the zip which is the appropriate kernel for that ROM. For S-ON people, you need to do this, not every time because the previous kernel you had might be compatible with this ROM but it's good practice to flash the original kernel first.

Yes it's normal that it says 4.0. Newt updated that to 4.1 but it broke Sense Skins and other things so he reverted the version information back. It IS sense 4.1 though, you should be able to tell by how the launcher flips pages.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
That's not the correct boot IMG. You need to get the one that's included inside the Rom zip file. Extract the zip file and get the boot.img from there.

The boot img has different mount points and the WiFi won't work because of you flashing that old boot.img. once you flash the one from the Rom it should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
What is the first patch he listed for? Also, will that no vibrate patch remove vibrate altogether? I like my text messages vibrating. I couldn't find the answer two pages back which is why I ask.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
They first patch increases vibrate the second does not
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
The patches are for haptic feedback, or no haptic feedback (red buttons)

wont affect vibration for mgs, keyboard etc..
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
New base is looking great btw check this out
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
Awesome, Can't wait :D

Keep up the great work Newt :good:
[HTC Rezound] Evilmonstertruck:
Hey Newt,

Is there any way to get a serverly debloated Sense 4.0 rom? I can uninstall alot of stuff but I cant seem to get the ram usaged down and stop things from running in the backround. Just a thought.

Thanks for the hard work. Its greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
How To:

Download the ROM.zip onto your PC.

Open the ZIP with 7zip and remove any files (apk with corresponding odex) you dont want in the /system/app folder

**make sure you know which ones do what and which ones are necessities**

files in the /data/app folder of the ROM are apps that are going to be installed to your phone when flashed removing them will not affect anything. its mostly skins, google apps and other apps the dev may want to include

Example: If you want the calculator, but dont use the widget ...and are very nit-picky about space, you can delete the apk and odex file for the widget.

-Remove these two files

/system/app/CalculatorWidget.apk
/system/app/CalculatorWidget.odex

After you are done, simply close 7zip and put the ROM on your sdcard and flash

Here is a thread to the most common bloatware, or APKs that you can remove

[HTC Rezound] Newt:
I don't debloat my main thing is to produce a fully functional port that will work for our device that we would never have otherwise... Ieave the debloating up to you guys
[HTC Rezound] matthall9815:
If ram is what your are worried about you may want to use titanium backup to freeze what you don't use. It's much simpler than making changes to the rom and will still keep them from running in the background. Then if you have a problem or need to use it later you can always just unfreeze it. I do this with most of the social networking items.

[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
You can try Vexxum, it's debloated, close to stock and doesn't have tweaks so it doesn't have the glitches that usually come with tweaks.
[HTC Rezound] ehcan:
I want it now! ;)

Sent from my GT-P7300
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Looking good man... can't wait
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
You should check out Vexxum like nick suggested.

Are you trying to improve battery life or just show off unused RAM or are you having problems running out of RAM?
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
Getting a debloated ROM would improve battery life, would it not?
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Not necessarily, I think battery usage has way more to do with kernel clock than bloat. Bloat that isn't used (or loaded) doesn't use battery, it just sits in storage.

Freeze (or disable) apps that you never use and that'll be close enough to a debloated rom.
[HTC Rezound] Evilmonstertruck:
Improve battery life, and just have a nice and lean rom.

I just always noticed with the sense 4 roms that there seems to be alot more things running in the backround than on 3.6 roms. And I have never really seen a Sense 4 rom that stripped down. i.e like Neos Simplistic or Injection.

Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for the responses
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I haven't seen a Sense 4 ROM that has as long of a battery life as a Sense 3.6 ROM, but Vexxum comes very close.
[HTC Rezound] Evilmonstertruck:
I mean I got XXX installed with Snuzzos 1.2 w/o OC gpu and on lazy and its prettys epic. As close as I have got to a 3.6 roms battery life.

When i get home tonight Im going to give Mike D's rom another go with Snuzzos kernel and see how it goes. But then right back to Newts when the update hits.. :cyclops:
[HTC Rezound] stevenlinks:
What's the best kernel out there for speed and battery life?
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
Some of us are using DSBs, some are using Snuzzos (funkey kernel). Each device is never the same. two devices setup the exact same way (firmware, ROM, configuration) with the exact same kernel ...can perform totally different

you will just have to try and see which you like.

But the two so far everyone is saying is

-Funky Kernel by Snuzzo

-ReZound Cubed by DSB (make sure you get the sense 4.0 version of the kernel)
[HTC Rezound] matthall9815:
You guys probably know neither of those is made to work with this version of sense. The are tons of posts concerning problems related to this. I've been running the include kernel and it's fast and have had very good battery life. At 4am when I crashed I was at 70% been using it off and on all day and still 21% left.
[HTC Rezound] stevenlinks:
Thanks a lot, I tried the DSB this morning so I'm trying it out now... I'll try the funky kernel later and compare them...
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Heehaw!! Looks sick budd :D
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Try the wheatley governor, and use an app like incredicontrol or no frills CPU to set your min and max CPU speeds. Undervolting will help too, just make sure you only decrease the voltage in small increments and run a little while, then decrease a little more. Each chip requires different voltage to run efficiently and stable, so you want to adjust in small increments and know where you are so when you test if you get a reboot, you can set it at the last stable voltage before the reboot.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I've never had any Rom get battery life as good as this one. It beats sense 3.6 whether on ics or gb. Using stock kernel with no underclocking.
[HTC Rezound] Evilmonstertruck:
Iv been running Snuzzos 1.2 with this for two days now.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
Hey Newt is the newer base anything different than what we already have?
[HTC Rezound] HarleyChick:
I don't know about that - I've been using Funky Kernel 1.2 and have had NO problems at all.
[HTC Rezound] loonatik78:
Just tossing out the bugs I've had so far. I've had some problems with the Play store crashing and not connecting when I have a solid data signal. My FFC also crashed once after I applied the patches. I installed the Chrome browser and was using that and it showed some wonkiness until Sense eventually crashed. I've also had the stock browser freeze and crash a couple of times.

[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
I checked "Remove Arrows from Keyboard." in extras and they're still there when I go to send a text. :l I even rebooted my phone. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
You need to open suite tools, click on the "others" tab, and check "Disable HTC Keyboard Arrows"

Mine went away instantly after checking that and I'm using a keyboard theme.
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
That's exactly what I did, but they're still there.
[HTC Rezound] answaiksvoltage:
I've had the same issue, along with the setting for hold home for flashlight. It never works though I can set it to hold home for the camera and it works fine. I have also been unable to successfully flash a new battery icon from the downloaded zip.

Could this be related to me using the Team Win recovery?

Otherwise it works great and a lot stronger signal than any other rom.. I'm finding it hard to choose between this and viper :)
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
You probably need to go to the sdcard/android/data/com.coredroid.suite.tools folder after it downloads (say no when clockwork asks about rebooting) and copy the files to your external card, then reboot to recovery and flash like any other zip.

On the keyboard issue, I think you've got another tweak enabled or something that's preventing it from working. Also I keep trace disabled, not sure if that matters.

I'd check and make sure that the app has supersu permissions.
[HTC Rezound] matthall9815:
My apologies my intention wasn't to offend anyone, and after reviewing I see Newt did say they would work. It's 4.5 that won't work with the 4.0 kernels. That being said I know for sure dsb's has some issues with this rom and he has posted that he has no intention of making changes to support the more highly modified roms . I ran cubed myself and had a couple small problems, and there are several posts in that thread about issues. I was just hoping to save a few headaches here and there.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
Dunno if anyone remembered my post about having WiFi and blue tooth errors and with an soff rezound I still had to flash boot images...well my refurbished rezound came in today and from the time I opened the box to less that 15 minutes later I had it unlocked, rooted, and jbear soff. Then flashed this Rom. First try and went perfect. Only thing I'm having issue with is signal indicators don'tseem to work for me in 4g and camera recording is sketchy. But I didn't have to flash some boot IMG to get it to work! #winning
[HTC Rezound] matthall9815:
did you flash the leaked global rom? Somewhere I remember reading that there is a combination of hboot and it that blocks the kernel from flashing even though you are s-off.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
None of our Sense 4 roms have 4G data arrows as far as I know, so it's a minor issue we just deal with.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
It was def hardware. I even went so far as back to original ruu ever for this device.

It basically froze up at the boot screen when it took the ics ota. It would only accept gb updates. WiFi and blue tooth were borked. It was the old rezound and I did all the same steps, although much much faster this time lol

Ok. Thanks for telling me. I wasn't aware of that as an issue. I had,been running this Rom prior to me getting my refurb today. Very happy with the work.
[HTC Rezound] answaiksvoltage:
Well, I tried the zip to sdcard suggestion and it was no good..

Good news the keyboard works I just didn't notice it before because it only works on the full setting. I'm a diehard suretype fan from my blackberry days so I always use the compact keyboard and that's where the issue is...

I've been having this really annoying issue lately with this latest release where it says the sms is not sent but then the people get it sometimes.... so obnoxious.... and my beats headphones aren't getting rexcognized, but the stereo system is getting recognized as beats.... U_U

anyone else getting this?

i installed the patch and i also can't get friendstream to work. it just keeps saying no updates.
[HTC Rezound] Chiefd23:
I am receiving the same issue. FB contacts and live feed sync fine but FB Calender will not sync, I receive an error. I have the background sync error icon in my notification bar.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
There's nothing special about beats headphones as far as I know (other than being overpriced). It doesn't matter if I plug in my beats, sennheiser or bose, the phone reacts the same way. It only matters if there is a microphone or not.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
What do you mean your headphones aren't being recognized? You plug them in and your phone doesn't know it has headphones plugged in? Or the control keys on the headphones aren't working? If the beats notification turns on, your phone knows that something is plugged into the audio jack. I don't get it..?
[HTC Rezound] Chiefd23:
And I have installed the patch....it may be an issue with background sync.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
Any way to get the my Verizon app to work? Keep getting error 300

All Messages, SMS/MMS, Visual Voicemail view to only SMS

First I want to say great rom.

I came from ViperRez and got used to when you go to SMS that its only SMS and not All Messages, SMS/MMS, Visual Voicemail. I looked into the Suite Tools and I dont see an option to change this. Thanks in advanced
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
Dirty flash doesn't exist with this rom unless you modify the updater-script.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
The only option to change it is to use a diff mms.apk the one I use is made for Verizon devices... If you change the app visual voicemail will disappear also
[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
So do we get a hint of the new goodness brewing?
[HTC Rezound] dwertz:

My battery life is rediculously good since I froze/uninstalled some junk I don't use. I had a problem for a short bit, turned out I was testing a battery I got with a phone a guy donated to me, and it was shot. As soon as I put my own battery in and froze that system junk I don't use, my battery life soared.

I'm running Newts Rom with the snuz's kernel currently.

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Yes, superchilpil has them packaged nicely. You can flash radios and the new hboot and firmware, its a PH98IMG.zip, as long as you're s off. You'll need to flash recovery again but that's it.

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
That was snuzzos 1.2 GPU OC kernel, pretty much install it and run it. If I hadn't had installed something like system tuner it would be better but I wanted to check some things. Setup is the kernel's voltage, on demand governor and deadline I/O

On demand is the default governor on that version I think but I'm pretty sure the lazy governor will get better battery life, but I wanted to try it stock first.

The problem with facebook not syncing the calendar or live feed is because of the Facebook for HTC Sense, not the actual Facebook App from the market. You can disable Facebook for HTC Sense and it will remove the authorize notification.

And the only thing the Facebook App syncs is the contacts not anything else. I guess in the mean time you could sync the facebook calendar to a google calendar, only think you'll be missing is the contact photos on the calendar. That doesn't really help you for the live feed. Guess you'll just have to use the application for now.
