Great. WiFi Tether now works after I flashed v6.3. It hasn't been working before for some reason. Thanks, Nils.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Great. I stick with this version since it works the best for most people.

I thought MHL and HDMI worked but I have no way to test.

It is normal to not be able to disable apps in system from settings but Titanium should work.

Uninstall the market version and extract it from the zip file and copy it to the /system/app folder and reboot
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Wright (id?) for the donation

Very much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Wipe cache & delvik cache. Reflash the Rom and make sure it's included.

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Nils, you are the man! WiFi Tether now works once I actually figured out what you were telling me to do. I can't thank you enough for being one of the most interactive developers out there.

If there is an update for WIFi tether from PlayStore, should we ignore it in the future?

In going through your extracted app file, I found an apk in my app file labeled "ba-synsservice-app-signed.apk". I had assumed this was related to your ROM in terms of syncing but since it is not in your apk folder, is this probably associated with something I must have downloaded from the PlayStore.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That's part of the backup assistant which is in the extras folder in the zip.

I assume you installed BA in Aroma
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
This is one of the reasons why we love Nils, and why this forum had such a collective freak-out when he was thinking about leaving us. His speedy response time, patience, and willingness to provide technical support for his ROMs are simply the best.

:highfive:
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
alright i winded up using sabastianFM kernel, and got it to work. but when i had DSB's kernel on, it seemed a bit smoother.... how do/can i make this a little smoother on the launcher etc?

i dont mean like the phone faster overall, i mean like like just smoother switcing pages and opening app drawr
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
If you want smooth, and you want it to just work...

Use the stock kernel and stop futzing with it. :eek:

Most of the "benefits" of custom kernels are either imagined, miniscule, or they make you compromise something to achieve whatever it was you hoped to achieve by using said kernel (battery life, lag, stability, etc...)
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
I used to mess with every new kernel that came down the pike when I had the Dinc.

I'm not interested in overclocking. This ROM is fast enough. Battery life? Between NilsP's work and the extended battery I bought with the phone, I'm not having battery issues at all.

It's obvious that NilsP spends a lot of time matching the kernel to the ROM. The rest of the kernels are rather generic and aren't tuned to the guts of the ROM like this one.

When I was on the Dinc, I was a confirmed flashaholic. These days, I'm content to sit back and watch NilsP whip up another batch of magic.
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
I need some help I'm on firmware 3.14.605.10. I was on viper 1.3 then flashed the latest version of this rom. Worked fine except it only would go to 3g. Rebooted. On reboot it picked up 4g for a few seconds. Then data cut off and went back to 3g. Figured it was firmware/Rom issue so I wiped everything and flashed 5.7 version. But still no 4g. Any ideas?

[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Just toggle data on and off and go into settings and click on lte/cdma option a few times, that usually helps for me.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Y am I getting like REALLY HORRIBLE batter life? I'm undervolted and under clocked, and as I'm typing this, my batter went from 99% to 88% and it only took Mr like 5 mins. Before on stock Rom and this same kernel, I got EXCELLENT battery. How can I fix this? Battery meter says that everything is normal.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Give it more than 5 minutes to settle...use the kernel setup the Rom came with...check for apps constantly running.

Other than that its tough to say since nobody has your specific setup, and what comes with the Rom seems to works fine for everyone else.

[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Nothing abnormal is running. The only think I would think that is doing is is the new system tuner pro. Or a backup app I have. But the power app thing in settings dose.t say. Anything is running. Is there an app out there that tracks all that stuff, so I can see what's goingon?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
@Quadrider10: I have only caught the last few posts of this, but I went through just what you seem to be talking about, a week or two ago. Was running Nils' stock ROM. Then loaded DSB's kernel. Battery life was still the same. Then I loaded System Tuner Pro and tried undervolting, overclocking, etc.. Undervolting was unstable and, obviously, overclocking is not going to help battery life. I tried some different governors and, at best, they were the same as stock for battery life. And at least one was totally unstable.

I finally decided to go back to the stock kernel that was in Nils' ROM. Then my troubles really started and I was getting battery life like you just described. I think it must have been System Tuner Pro - but I'm not sure. Looking in there, though, it looked like one of my CPU cores was running at 1.51GHz all the time. And the other jumped up and down constantly between 384 and 1.51. I eventually did a format on /system and then restored a nandroid backup from just before I first install DSB's kernel. That put me back on Nils' v6.1. Then I flashed 6.2 (since I had that downloaded already onto my phone). Then I used the OTA Updater to get to Nils' v6.3. And my battery has been fine ever since.

I am pretty done wasting my time messing around with hackers' kernels. (for the record, DSB himself posted in his kernel thread "I am not a code writer").

As a last note, my brother texted me this morning that he is trying out NewT's new Sense 4.1 ROM and that he is getting good battery life. He send me a screen shot from his Rezound from Battery Monitor Widget showing his usage history for the previous few hours. I sent him back one from my phone that kicked his image's butt. And mine was showing a history where I was on 4G and had WiFi on but was not connected to any access point.

In other words, if you want a stable phone with good battery life, stick with Nils' stock ROM and leave the hackery to hackers who have time to waste.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

ps. Even if somebody did come up with a kernel that actually helped with battery life, in my opinion, there is no way the improvement can be very much (because the kernel in Nils' ROM is already THAT good), so it's just not worth the trouble to mess with.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah, what Stuartv said.

Keep in mind that the ROM is optimized for my kernel. If you want to experiment with kernels you may also want to look at what init.d and build.prop are doing. I also optimized the framework so that can have an impact also.

Not saying other kernels won't or can't help but you need to try them and find out. Also pay attention to how to get back after testing. Nand is a good way
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I tried to upload a screen shot from my phone, showing my battery usage history. But, it seems I still have the browser bug where the keyboard does not display when I enter a multi-line text box (like the one I'm typing in right now). And XDA didn't accept my post when I tried to just post a screen shot with no accompanying text.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i know.... im not saying that the kernel is bad, but i like having over clocking abilites along with GPU overclocking... makes me feel em-powered :D lol.

what i did was do factory reset, cache, and delvik cache, reboot. then i wiped cache, delvik cache, and boot, then flashed DSB's Global Leak, then rebbot, then wiped cache and delvick cache, then flashed SabastianFM kernel, then rebbot, then wiped cache and delvik cache and flashed sabastianFM kernel again and finally reboot. i have my cpu undervolted anf underclocked.

on stock ROM with this kernel, i had EXcellent battery life :D so i guess the kernel just dosent agree with the rom.... i honestlky dont want to wipe system and loos everything again :(

like i said above, im not hating on ur kernel, i jst like overclocking abilities :D

same, same, with the keyboard. u have to hold down so it says cut paste etc, and exit browser, then go back in.... dont kill it tho, just hit the home button.

[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Wow, you are quite a piece of work. You were warned about using other kernels and now implying nils' rom caused your phone to brick. Maybe you should stick with stock.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Update

Nils - as a follow-up to my prior message, I have been bleeding battery like never before but that was only after Google Now started working in earnest. I killed tasks Google and Maps, and my battery has resumed to normal status. Is it possible Google Now is keeping the screen on (even though it is not on) or otherwise causing the battery drops?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
With over 3000+ downloads with 1 reported brick (yours) I am confident it is not the ROM as I delivered it.

I don't have any plans to test my ROM with customs kernels as I simply don't have the time.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:

[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Wow, you've got some nerve. He's not 'DEV', he's Nils. Show some respect. Nils has done so much for the Rezound community. What have YOU done?

You get to flash these ROMs because Nils and the other Devs allow you to. Every ROM out there comes with a 'use at your own risk' type of warning. Nils has stated repeatedly that the ROMs he makes will run as provided, and that we install any and all modifications at our own peril.

Judging by your inability to spell or punctuate, I strongly suspect operator error.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is possible but if you remove it you will not have any search function. Go into the app settings and turn it off and it will act like Google search.

Wow. Insane battery life. Thanks nils! I knew there was a reason I liked sense 3.6. I was on 4g lte all day at work. Just got home to WiFi

Hey Nils.. just curious if it would be easy or possible to have a mod that would turn off the light behind the softkeys.....the red is too much on my eyes..

.no biggie if you can't help guide me or if its not worth the time/effort ....I'm probably one of the few that would rather have them not light up haha

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
There is a rumor going around that I say to never install a custom kernel with my ROM's

I actually never said that. What I did say is that I can't promise what the results would be and to try at your own risk. I also can't support the kernel if it does not work or cause unexpected problems unless the kernel developer provides specifics on what needs to be done with the ROM or points out what I did wrong with my ROM to make it work.

Having said that I encourage you to try different kernels to find one that works for you if the included kernel does not support your needs or work to your satisfaction.

I put the little bit of knowledge I have for building ROM's and Themes into making the ROM work best with the kernel I provide so I don't have to mess with kernels.

I can also assure you that unless a kernel has a serious bug like one of the earlier ones that it should not brick your phone.

SIDE NOTE: I have actually built ROM's in the past and included a custom kernel when it proved to work better than the stock slightly modified kernel I provided.

Enjoy and have fun.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
How?

Nils - I can DEFINITELY confirm that google now was bleeding down the battery. I think it is constantly checking traffic to throw up warnings about how long it will take me to get home, 8 hours from now.

Can you please tell me WHICH app? There is no "google now" or similar app or service installed or running (but, of course, that little car icon is up so it is running). It may be called something weird. Any assistance is appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Go into search (hit the magnifying glass) and then hit settings, and select Google Now. Move the little slider thingy to "Off"

Viola!
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Tap the magnifying glass, when google now opens, hit menu on phone (the icon with 4 horizontal lines),select settinngs, select google now and in top right you can turn toggle off.

So I know you're the developer of this ROM, but how good is it compared to the others? I was looking for top-rated ROMs for this phone as I just purchased a Rezound, and all of the ones I'm finding are like, CleanROM, Cryo, Muiu, but they're all outdated for this phone.

Does your ROM give some really nice performance increase? And probably my most important question, what's the difference between Sense 3.6 and 4.0?

Thanks.

Edit: Answered my own question with the Sense difference.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Try it and find out. Everyone's needs and experiences is different. I ran a bunch and came back since it works best for me...and everything works...and nils gives great support.

What is Ad Block?
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
It blocks ads. AdAway in the market.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I think you got your answer but basically it is a way to stop games and apps from going out and pulling down ads and presenting them in the game or app window. Save a little data since it stops the request on your phone.

My battery life results were with no google now on version 5.7 with pre ota firmware. Stock battery. When I was on viper 1.0.3 or ineff 1.1 with google now battery life was significantly worse. I use maluuba instead of google now. I think its better
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:
Thanks for that tip. I was getting tired of seeing traffic reports from places I searched for yesterday.

[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Google Now

Thanks also. I don't know if I changed something accidentally, but Google Now seemed to become more active in the last three weeks, negatively impacting my battery. It wasn't horrible, but less than prior experiences. I turned it off just now and will watch to see if better battery life returns. :fingers-crossed: Excellent ROM and excellent support. :good: :good:

UPDATE: It's been three days and my battery life has indeed improved. I kinda liked some of the Google Now stuff, but not enough to make me switch over to my extended battery for DD.

[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Quadrider10, you seem to have more issues than anyone else in this thread. I and many others have been running Nil's ROMs mostly trouble free for many months. If you want cutting edge tweak-ability, unlimited over-clocking and under-volting, and the never-ending bugs and bug fixes that usually come with it, then there are many other ROMs better suited to you.

I'm not saying you shouldn't ask questions. We are all here to ask/answer questions and learn, but try using the search button more, reading more and posting less. 12 posts/day is not simply participating, but becomes clutter. Post count is not a contest. Sorry to be blunt, but I don't know how else to say it.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I use the Pro version of TuneIn Radio so I don't know if that makes a difference but I don't get that kind of battery drain, although, signal type makes a big difference. I live in a fringe area for 3G/4G reception so it goes down much faster than when I use the house WiFi. I would estimate a drain of 15%-20%/hour. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My battery life on this ROM just seems to keep getting better. I tried doing some tweaks with SetCPU but it seem to override some of Nils' Power Saver Settings and increase battery consumption so I'm back to his stock config. I have been trying to "freeze" as many elements as I can with Titanium wlithout getting into trouble. It would really be nice if there was a current version based on the Global ICS of element safe to freeze.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:

Hey NilsP,

What it be possible to mod the messaging application to have it only show mobile numbers when typing in a contacts name? Because whenever I type in a contact name, it gives me every single one and it always seems to prioritize their home or office first when making a selection.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
You can modify this behavior yourself in the Contacts application.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Go to your contacts and change their primary number to their moble number rather than their home number. That should fix it.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I gave tune in radio another shot today. I ran it for two hours on 4G. I started with 71% battery and after two hours its down to 13%.

To bad that thing blows through battery juice like that unless its that 4G is constantly pull data for 2 hours nonstop. I will have to try I heart radio and see if its any different, if not it must be 4G
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It's probably pulling close to 2 hours streaming and images
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Do you think running it on 3G would save on the battery?

If so How can I force 3g instead of 4g?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
in settings

im deffiently getting WAY better battery life.10hrs on normal use with 1.5hrs of screen on time... wifi on most of the day but not connected, and data turned off. for most of the day. and still 40% left. thats the way i like it :D
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
You might try an app/widget like SWITCHIT - 4G LTE TOGGLE Brown Enterprises Ltd. on Google Play Store. Its free and I just keep it on one of my pages so I can easily toggle between 4G and 3G. I ususally keep my phone in 3G mode unless I'm trying to download something off the internet or update some app. It doesn't seem to affect the way the radio player works.

I keep it on the setting CDMA auto (PRL). I don't know how that differs from CDMA only.

Sorry, but I think we are hijacking Nils' thread. If you want to pursue this farther, try putting it in the Question section of thew forum.
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Been running this for oh, since Nils released the global version. Mostly trouble free. I noticed one issue early on, but it hasn't affected me yet though it will next week.

I'm going to ask this very specifically so that I get the answer I'm looking for. "Use Wireless Tether" is NOT an answer. It's pretty much a simple yes or no.

QUESTION: Should Mobile Hotspot be working (for people like me who pay for the service)? I've tried it a few times just for test purposes, and it gets stuck at "turning on" and eventually just turns itself back off.

Going on vacation next week and my Rezound will be providing Internet access, which is why I finally got around to asking.

(for what it's worth, the reason I want Mobile Hotspot to work is (a) I pay for it, and (b) on the occasions I use it, I need to connect as many as 3 laptops at the same time. I don't believe you can do that with Wireless Tether. If I'm wrong on that, please feel free to correct me.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:

[HTC Rezound] answerman:
That's a helpful answer. I couldn't find any information on whether Wireless Tether actually acted as a true routing hotspot as opposed to an adhoc sharing type connection. So, it may well work for me.

Still the question remains. Does the stock Verizon Mobile Hotspot (not the Wireless Tether included with this ROM) actually work? Waiting for an answer from either Nils (the definitive source, and I can wait for an answer, he's busy) or someone who actually pays for the Mobile Hotspot service from Verizon.
