full day of tethering and 8 accounts on autosync - nither a hiccup - 1.7 vs 1.5 - that's another difference ....
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
Is the 1.2 you just posted the same as the 1.2 you posted a few days ago, or does it contain the "more theaming" like in 1.3. Because I need to keep the louder volume.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It's the same 1.2. I just reposted it for people who want more volume and don't need BT Streaming.

The only theming difference between 1.2 and 1.3 is just a few icons.
[HTC Rezound] spaceboyusa:
Switched over to this ROM a few hours back...nice work NilsP!

Not S-Off yet (just lazy/no fat paper clips around...;o) so did the whole re-lock/RUU/AmonRa reinstall since I was at least 2-3 RUUs behind and all is good save for one very strange thing related to sending mail. In the Mail app, set up my Live, Hotmail and work-based Exchange account. Emails are coming down fine but I tried to send a few "test" emails from the phone and the emails show in my Sent folders but I have not received any of the emails as I sent them to myself: One from my Live account to my work account, and one from my Hotmail account to my Live account. I've received other emails since I've sent mine from the phone but not the ones I sent to myself.

I've rebooted a couple of times, checked all of my settings, and man...just not sure what's up. Happy to flash the ROM again from scratch but, given everything else is running like a champ, didn't know if you'd seen this before.

Again, keep up the great work!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am not seeing that problem. Hopefully others can shed some light.
[HTC Rezound] spaceboyusa:
Thanks NilsP, and I think I'll try the modded ExchangeMail.apk you included a few posts back as my IT requires the PIN and it's just annoying..=). I'll delete my accounts, remove the Admin policy, bring in the new apk, set up the email accounts again, and see if anything changes. If the result is the same, I'll go for flash the ROM again (which I verified the MD5 is good so...not a download issue).

Appreciate your quick response!

Need help editing this script

Hi Gr8nole,

I love the colored email icon that came with this script! I was glad to see other things go away as well. I also am a Facebook user however and I would love to edit this. I am not sure how to do that however and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I know I have done it in the past, but don't recall how! Middle age is so much fun!

I do have Titanium Backup installed so I can freeze things if there is a way to just install that email icon, that would work as well...

Thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
If you want to keep the facebook apps (or any other ones), you need to open the zip using 7zip; then navigate to the "updater-script" located in the META-INF\com\google\android\ folder. Right-click on the file and choose "EDIT". It will open in a text editor. Now you can find and delete the entries related to the apps you want to keep. Then save the file (make sure it does NOT have a .txt extension) and choose "Yes" when 7zip asks if you want to update it in the archive. That's it. Flash in recovery and you should be good to go. If you need more help, send me a PM.
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
Completed a fresh install of 5.5 last night and I must say the installer is much improved over the previous version.

Is there any hope of fixing the brightness toggle in quick settings? It works for turning auto brightness on or off but the manual brightness settings don't stick unless you set them in the settings menu. I know it's been an issue for a while and it's the last little blemish before this Rom is perfect. In my eyes anyway :)
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I don't restore data from every app in TiBu, but there are a select few that really need to have their settings saved. Any 2-factor authenticator, for instance, (e.g. RSA, or battle.net auth.) Fortunately, I haven't had any problems yet restoring these apps with data. Not being able to log in at work would be problematic, I think. :)
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Thanks, I will give that a shot.

sent from the Round Mound of Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Great.

I have been tinkering with the Tweaks brightness on and off with no love yet. I don't give up easy so maybe some day.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Growler for the donation

Much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
So I used a modified version of your debloat zip in v5.4 and it worked well. However when I ran it in recovery after installing v5.5, I got some error messages about not being able to write some log file or anything in the /tmp directory. I booted into the ROM, set up some stuff, then booted back to recovery and tried it again....and it worked. wtf?

oh well. Anyway, not everything runs 100% smooth with me apparently...but it eventually works out as long as I stick to it. :cyclops:
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
The Aroma installer leaves it in a state where no other zips can be flashed...just rebooting recovery allows it to work...that's what I do.

-------------------------

Edit: Looks like everything gets unmounted at the end of the update script with the Rom...so that's probably why it can't create the .tmp folder...and also explains why rebooting recovery fixes it.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
bloody hell...why didn't I think of that in the first place? Never even thought to check out the ROM updater script to see what state it leaves the sd in....dag. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I can fix that but those dismounts were there even before Aroma
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to tmask30 for the donation.

Mucg appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Great work as always, Nils. Running 5.4 for the last 2 days and have only had 1 issue so far. 3 times today, data quit for no reason I can think of. Turning mobile network off and back on fixes it though. Just thought you would like to know.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Yeah, I made a quick assumption (we all know what that leads to) that it was Aroma until I actually looked at the updater script. Not a big deal to me if you "fix" it or not.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am hearing that complaint of all sorts of phones. Seems Verizon may be doing some more LTE upgrades around the nation. See if it clears
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
flashed 5.5 over 5.2, everything is working well!

I too have the issue with the phone losing the LTE connection. From what I understand its an issue with authentication of the phone on the LTE network.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
They are definitely testing LTE upgrades. I actually had 4g for about 4 hours today. Now I'm back to 3g :mad:
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
No prob, Its the least I could do considering I've been running your rom's exclusivley since the "Sense 3.0" for the Droid Inc. Also been running 5.4 and its very nice, no problems other than I was missing the black clock but i got back from a previous version data restore. Thanks keep up the great work and hope you stay with the Rezound, well until were due for an upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] manchucka:
While still in recovery do:

adb shell ("./adb shell" on OS X)

mkdir /tmp

Now flash your remaining zips.
[HTC Rezound] sabindaman:
I have been unable to get wifi tether to work I followed the directions in the 3rd post for settings and it still isnt broadcasting. I tried the nexus lte profile too and it isnt working either.

S-off device. New to this rom wiped everything before install and flashed the latest leak before install.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Did you follow Nil's instructions regarding the app? I did and I have not had a better tethering experience (including utilizing wifi-encryption) on this device ever.... see post

Wireless Tether

Before Use:

- Set Profile - HTC Rezound ICS,

- Setup Method to NETD,

- Check Routing Fix
[HTC Rezound] sabindaman:
Yes I followed those directions with no success.

On a different note I just received a MHL cable and am getting some inconsistent results with it. I cant determine yet if it is rom related or perhaps an issue with the cable, but the TV will become static in spurts and sometimes not have sound.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I've had some trouble with the wifi tether app as well and end up going back to wifi_tether_v3_1-beta15-publictest.apk which I think I got here (very bottom of post 1):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540707
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I don't have a cable to test so I need to depened on other with a cable to help but that is the first I heard of a problem.

beta14RCZ is the one in the ROM and works for me. Is thebeta15-publictest better?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I couldn't really say if it was better. The tether app that has come in the last couple of ROMs I've tried just haven't worked for me, for some reason. (Probably something I've done to my phone.) I always try the ones provided first, assuming that it is mostly likely the best one for the specific ROM. Devs are smart and I trust them.

Found this one a couple of months ago and keep the apk on my card, just in case.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:

[HTC Rezound] punman:
mtown: You know you can have Titanium Backup create it's own flashable zip, right? And it even saves all your settings with it. Nifty, eh?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
[SOAPBOX]

Yeah and I am having a hard time considering putting TB in as an optional app since half the problems in this thread are related to TB restores causing config errors. I agree that TB is a great product with great functionality but with that comes great responsibility that I don't want to support/debug.

In other words, great tool, use it, but don't automatically blame the ROM if it breaks something.

Same is true for launchers and other user created mods. The ROM is designed to work well with what I include and should work fine with all up to date market apps but beyond that I can't promise anything.

I am also having trouble with using Aroma to de-bloat even more. Just working on selectively adding apps instead of automatic.

[/SOAPBOX]
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Don't let the tail wag the dog, man. It's about the ROM, not the installer. Aroma is all very well and good, but we're all big boys and girls here, and have been flashing for a while (and ought to know even if we haven't been, we're on our own).

I am decreasingly reliant upon TB as time goes by. Good to restore wifi/bluetooth pairings; occasionally helpful with settings or data rather than remembering logins, but mostly can be more easily replaced with careful use of adb, busybox, and via recovery tools.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I've gone away comepletely from TB. It was more problems than it was worth. I use My Backup Pro. Best 5 bucks I spent on an app. It backs up the apks, data, or apks + data. Also backs up sms, mms, dictionary, call log, contacts, the works. Give it a try, it works wonders. I am back up and running in about 10 minutes.
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:
I use My Backup Pro as well. It's been nice because it will restore all your home screen arrangements and shortcuts as well. It used to take me longer to restore those than the apps and data.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I hear ya

Since after 1000+ downloads of v5.5 I am only getting "one off" issues so I have been spending some time on the Installer since hey, it's fun.

There is actually some benefit in that since a) it satisfies my urges to program and b) if apps can be left out that the users don't need it can help performance.

What I have so far is optional installs for HTC Skins, ES File Explorer, Flashlight, Google+, Polaris Office, Visual Voice Mail, and YouTube. Also have an option to remove ad blocking since it can cause problems with some web sites and games.

QUESTION: Should I have the applications set to checked or not checked? If I set them checked then it is just like the original ROM by default.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
I vote for unchecked.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
And I'll second that. If you want that app installed, you can tick the box.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
So far it is 2 to 1

I was hoping checked would win since I install most of the apps :D
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
What problems did you have with TB and how has My Backup Pro been different? I'm just wondering as I have TB and use My Backup Root (non-Pro) for backing up SMS/Call logs, but really haven't had any troubles with restoring apps+data using TB.

Nils, I agree with you and think that you shouldn't include TB by default. It's not a big deal to have to go to the market and download it first, plus those of us who purchased the license will need to go there anyways.

I'm for leaving those programs ticked by default. Power users who don't want it can uncheck them, and having them set to install by default will avoid other people asking where those programs went. To me that's a little closer to your description of "stable slightly themed ROM".
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I agree as well.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Third.

You should have to take action to deviate from the norm, not have the deviation provided by default. If the norm becomes "un-installed" at some point in the future, then fine, change it, but right now, if the standard behavior is to install all of them, then leave them that way, and people will uncheck them as they desire.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I vote for checked by default...uncheck to skip installation.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
That makes sense. +1
[HTC Rezound] jcollier:
Agreed!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Checked.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Selecting NETD is unnecessary now with the HTC Rezound ICS profile, NETD is by default used unless a different option is selected :-)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks

I left it there for people on the older versions since it does not hurt anyway.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Daniel (id?) for the donation.

Much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] okrk:
I vote for checked I agree, I use most of them and would prefer to check as little as possible when installing.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Checked is the winner. It is good logic since it would act just like it was the unchanged ROM
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Sounds awesome. Looking forward to the next release -- I plan to do a clean wipe and flash just to take advantage of all the options you're giving us.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Hmmm

I hear REALLY good things about that new google app that tells you when you need to leave for an appointment by also taking into account traffic AND the new google voice commands. I say we add a little 4.1 goodness into our 4.0.3 :)
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
That "feature" existed on the Palm Pre several years ago. Fact is, it isn't going to work unless the "vibrate" can actually kick my butt out of a seat and get me going. I haven't seen a device that strong on ebay yet --- at least not in the "smartphone" category. ;)

SORRY:) - New version in post 1

Release 5.6

Updates to Aroma Installer (See post 3 for more info)

Added option to remove Ad Block

Added option to install a transparent launcher bar (Thanks Therev29)

Added option to not install HTC Skins

Added application screen to selectively not install some apps with ROM

​

Updated to wifi_tether_v3_1-beta15-PUBLICTEST2

Updated - Maps, Street, YouTube, and Google+

NOTE: Feedback and suggestions on the Aroma Installer Please

Will flash over any v5.x version but much more fun and effective to do a fresh install

The alarming frequency with which your ROM updates and my lawn mowing coincide are starting to make me re-examine my understanding of quantum physics. Fortunately, I got out there early this morning, and can spend the few minutes in my air conditioned den to get 5.6 up and running.

Never a good idea to update the bin or for that matter the program itself. The new program does some different things with the bin.

My mobile data was solid on 4g before I upgraded to 5.4, and now it's really flaky. I was on a way prior version, 3.6 I think, on the first ICS firmware leak.

Going to try 5.6 today with a full wipe and attempt the /data restore method. :)

Toggle thru the volumes in quick settings

Tried that, but they are still tied together. Change for notification volume and the ringer volumes changes to match and vice versa. Had a friend try it in his and it does the sane thing.

I thought I was nuts there for minute. A google search shows that apparently, this is a part of ICS and there's allot of talk going on about it.

I hope this can fixed. Thanks Nils!
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Works/looks nice.

Just an idea.. With all the theming you've already done to the rom possibly make the semi transparent as default in the Rom, fully transparent as option in aroma, and stock for post 3.

I'll probably run full transparent anyways. I just think the more non stock the better. I usually flash a sense 4 sounds mod...feels like custom phone with all the changes/extras on top of all that you've already done.

Great job with aroma and all the work you keep doing...each release seems to have something new & cool...just when you think there's not much that could be added.

Edit: actually I may stick with the semi...its growing on me lol
