[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I have not had much time lately to keep up with our Rezound.

I see we have this new global ROM, what is the difference in the Global vs before without Global? Is it just for people that travel outside the country? I dont so is there any need for me to go with the new global?

What does the ota do?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Truthfully, I think the Global OTA performs better, less buggy, and smoother than the release in v5.7. But yes, the biggest benefit is for travelers.

The OTA Updater lets me push patches or even full ROM's to your phone via an app on the phone that lets you decide if you want it or not and downloads and installs it for you.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
less bugs and smoother is always better.

The ota sounds great.

Im really hoping I will have time tomorrow to finally s-off the phone, then I will flash this and take it for a ride, sometimes time gets thin
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This should work with any ICS firmware/radio. It is also setup for s-on. I believe with the older firmware you just lose global so just do a nand and try it. You can always restore if it fails
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I really need to s-off, everyone has always said its a must do. Im still s-on and on the ICS .10 ruu leak
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I agree.

But it does not stop you from helping me test on older ICS firmware and S-ON before you S-OFF. I would appreciate it.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Nils, in case you wanted to know (or are keeping track) I received the OTA notification this morning. Pretty cool.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Got my ota but it keeps failing. Says can't mount sd. I am not having as problems however.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That gets you updates that will be in the official release later today.

A test of OTA before release

Hmmm, don't understand that. What firmware are you on?
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
OTA keyboard update

I got the notification, it downloaded (slowly!) and offered to reboot into recover for the install. The reboot worked, but then it reported an error mounting the sdcard to access the file. I found it by hand and manually installed the update, then after a reboot into the OS I got another notification that the same update was available.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Would I be able to restore the apps from 5.7's nandroid on the 6.0 version?
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Restoring user apps, yes

Restoring user/market apps and data is OK (I'e restored 30+ from my previous install using titanium backup.) If you restore system apps and data from the old OS, you are going out on a limb.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
I'm on the global firmware.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Same question, what firmware are you on?

Also, what recovery?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Help....

If posting bugs with OTA Updater please tell me what firmware and recovery you are on
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
S-Off, global firmware, amon-ra recovery.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
I'm using amon ra for recovery.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
OK, which version of AR? I tested with version - recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm

And it worked fine
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
3.15 as well.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Strange.

But you were able to find it manually on the external sdcard in recovery correct?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Those that are having trouble with the OTA Updater try this one. Flash in recovery then reboot and try the update again

I think I put an older version in the ROM and this may fix it
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Yes I was able to flash manually.still getting the ota message as well.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

I'll try the zip you just posted.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

No dice. Always says E: cannot mount sd.
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
No joy

Same error, and it turns out Im on an older 3.0.6 amon-ra. Was just starting to update but maybe that's not the issue...
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Hitting clear got rid of the ota notification btw. I thought it would have gone away after I manually flashed the update.
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Bumped up to amon-ra 3.15 and still same error (I also previously installed your new updater app.)

Just in case it helps, the last messages are:

Finding update package...

E: Can't mount /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/arrowlesskeyboard-for-v6.0.zip

Installation aborted.

and as before, if I go the the amon-ra install zip menu, that file exists and can be manually installed.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
You should not see the keyboard anymore so you may need to try to download the update again. However,

better to try flash over of the official release in post 1

Just wipe cache
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
UPDATE: Version 6.0 in post 1

Based on 4.03.605.2 ICS Global release

[FONT=&quot]99.9% Business Sense-ified

Aroma Installer (Follow instructions in post 2)

OTA Updater (see note in post 2)

APM

Tabbed Quick Settings

% Battery

Arrowed keyboard

And much more

[/FONT]The is for ICS firmware only and preferably OTA Global

I highly recommend a factory reset before flashing

NOTE: If you flashed the test version 6.0 just download the official, wipe just cache, and flash over

Hopefully after that you will not receive an OTA update notice until I post a new 1
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
The "HG" Method?

So this HG method ... full wipe, install, and restore "DATA" (only) from nandroid ... is that working for people? Certainly would make life a LOT easier.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Downloaded apps only and you should be fine
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Nils,

The 6.0 release in post 1 is only 64.6mB.

Did I just get a bad download, or were you still uploading it, and I just got a fragment?

*edit* never mind. It's almost finished uploading.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Wait a minute. I had to re upload it since I had a bad apk in it

OK Now Sorry
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
Not sure if I'm missing something but I didn't have the option to install the colorized status bar icons... Is it me?
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
as stated right there in the OP (I feel like newb for that!) thanx again man!
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Great job on this one, Nils. Running smooth as silk.

Is there any progress being made on the blue flicker issue? That seems to be one of few things keeping ICS down on the Rezound.

I'm also getting a grey flicker when using Swype. Seems to only happen when I am typing, using the Swype function.

Kernel is set to Interactive, 486mHz-1.72gHz
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks

I set the 2 window and animation settings in the settings > develop to .5 and see very little flicker. Much better than on the 3.5 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I'm running Sebastian's OC'd ICS Kernel with this ROM. It's running fine, but I didn't even think to consider that yours might be customized for your specific ROM.

Is your Kernel any different than the stock ICS kernel that's been floating around? I think I read somewhere that new software is needed to actually modify ICS kernels or something... :confused:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If the other kernels don't break WiFi they should be fine.

Any of the kernel changes thus far are either a ram disk, init.d support (unpack and repack) or hex edited.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Loving this ROM. I froze some of the bloat that I didn't want, News, Stocks, Friendstream (bleh), and the like.

On initial startup it had alot of blue flicker and I was kinda scared, but haven't seen a blue flicker since I've had it running.

I reinstalled everything from scratch and made sure to install a third party app first so I could get the install from unknown sources check box.

Great work as always.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Thinking of switching from the GB Business to this but definitely need the Bluetooth streaming to work, has it been fixed yet?
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
I've been running this ROM for a few days with animations on 1.5 and I've probably seen my screen subtly flicker like 3 or 4 times total. I think it varies from phone to phone and also may depend on your animation settings per phone.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
I made a backup of my Business GB ROM, but I haven't been back yet! :) this is too nice. It's faster and my phone runs much cooler. too many pluses!
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Anyone using this rom have the game "wheres my water"? Can you run it without major graphical issues?
[HTC Rezound] nsmal24:
Few "Bugs"

Well, I got the update all loaded up and am loving it. I noticed a couple of small bugs that I thought I would mention.

I noticed that when you clear the last notification from the notification list, that the shade does not automatically withdraw. This did work properly with the 4.0.1 rom, but I haven't seen it working correctly on any 4.0.3 rom (for this phone) so I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Also, previously, when you added the bookmarks widget (android), it would ask to sign in to your Google account. It does not seem to work on the 4.0.3 leak and just displays the stock bookmarks from the stock browser.

Nothing major, just a couple things that I noticed. Once again, thanks for an awesome, stable rom. I am running underclocked to 1GHZ and everything is smooth as can be. Thanks for the hard work!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I don't see the problem with clearing notifications. The shade seems to close OK for me

I don't use the bookmark widget so I will have to try that.
[HTC Rezound] nsmal24:
My fault on the clearing notifications. It closes when you hit "clear." It doesn't close when you swipe away the last remaining notification. It did on 4.0.1. May just be a bug in the 4.0.3 leak. Thanks for looking into it.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Does bluetooth audio work?

*edit* just checked... nope :D
[HTC Rezound] nsmal24:
Made a successful call on the way home today over bt. Haven't tested a2dp yet.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
BT for calls works perfect but audio is iffy. Got it to work once in my car but have not tried again.
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
Call me crazy but does anybody else notice the lack of 3d-ish look to the home screen icon's, lock screen icons and app drawer icons. They all look flat, well with the exception of the clock. I thought that I remember when you rotate the Home screens,it's almost like you can see the side of the apps and weather. Just like the "gear" on the side of the clock. And I'm not talking about the "3d home screen" option . Any Ideas?
[HTC Rezound] nsmal24:
I can confirm that a2dp is not working.
[HTC Rezound] cam1pbell:
Wifi tether works perfect .
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Did you disable it in tweaks or settings > develop?

I am thinking maybe one of the Smooth Rosie Tweaks in leeDroid Tweaks
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Don't set up ANYTHING in the startup. Do it after which is why I said skip everything on first install
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Tried that. It kept kicking me back to the start of setup.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
You should get through with just next and skip at each screen.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Giving it another go.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
it doesn't let you. ok, what are we missing? :)
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I don't think this is gonna work, Nils. :(
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
It failed five times for me too. Thank god I had a backup. That sucked lol
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
pulled until i can fix setup
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
If you try to get out of setup it crashes and leaves you at a black screen of death. This is making me so sad lol. Never had this issue with any of your roms lol
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
maybe an overwrite would have been better than a wipe
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Ok, on the first run through setup, i just hit skip, then next next next without setting anything up, as soon as it said it was not responding, i hit OK. That brought me back to setup again, I hit next, let it do its check, and just kept going through it without setting up anything. Finally got through it now im stuck at the white HTC screen.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Restore your backup and flash over. Just do a wipe of cache and dalvik
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
flash over works perfectly
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
From v1.1?
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
uh oh

So I tried flashing 2.0 but it freezes at startup and when I try to go into recovery to flash my backup. I cant get in because the kernal keeps trying to run ,and weather I let it run or not, the only option it lets me do is reboot. What can I do to get a backup running?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Delete the PH*.zip on sd card
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
boot animation...

FYI: boot animation now pulls from system/customize/resource
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I put the link back up for people who want to flash over a prior version

Just wipe cache and dalvik
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yup, I never like it in local
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Sorry, buddy. Don't worry, you'll get it! :)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Nope. Have not added it yet.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Just did a clean install of today's release. I'll let you know if I still have ota issues next time you push something. Thanks as always Nils.
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
Nils, I also got the sdcard error on the ota. I don't know much about the updater but in the Rom I am finding the update zip file on sdcard2. Is that the same location in amon ra or does it change to sdcard in amon ra. Not sure if that will help any.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
otaupdater.sdcard.os=sdcard2

otaupdater.sdcard.recovery=sdcard

In my tests I had to download to sdcard2 and point recovery to sdcard (without the 2)

If you want to try something change following lines at the bottom of build.prop then reboot

From

otaupdater.sdcard.os=sdcard2
otaupdater.sdcard.recovery=sdcard

To

otaupdater.sdcard.os=sdcard2
otaupdater.sdcard.recovery=sdcard2
[HTC Rezound] skleper:
wont load

Just flashed this ROM, after reboot it stuck on loading screen. Waiting for 30 min with no luck.

aroma 3.15

s-on/unlocked

any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
did you wipe, factory reset, wipe cache, d cache, boot and system before flash?
[HTC Rezound] skleper:
I did.. just connected to the power supply and it is working fine now. thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
cool,

I am in the process of flashing the same with the same setup, s-on

I will report in a few
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
This is CRAZY smooth, Nils!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Glad you like it

Enjoy
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
I'm going to have to concur with this comment. :laugh::good:

The installer is awesome to use, Rom is either than 5.5 which is a nice surprise I wasn't expecting!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
What do you mean by "either than 5.5"

Whatever it is I want to do it again HaHa
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Full wipe and flash 6.0

Install went perfect as with all other builds, setup went the same.

Tried Facebook,gmail, pic speed wallpaper, calender, contacts, gmail notification all works as it should.

I could not get my tablet to tether to the phone, I can see the android tether wifi on my tablet but when tapped to connect nothing happens, tether is set to rezound cdma, net master and routing fix. I even went into apps/tether and cleared data and setup again, no luck. rebooted, no luck. When I start tether it shows su granted permission. it was working fine on ICE sense 4.0

s-on

ICS ruu leak .10

still playing with the phone, I will update anything that comes up. I have not received a ota update notification yet

Nice Job Nil's, Thank you
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Let me know how you make out with tether. It is working for me.

You won't get an OTA notification until I post one since you are up to date
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I might try a uninstall then reinstall from my titanium backup from the sense 4.0 rom
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to jdg1 for the donation.

Very much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Once it settles in the battery life is pretty decent.

As much as I love my sense 4 I might stick with this 1 for a while
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
How's the battery compared to sense 4 or the 5.7?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I think better than both. I am seeing a lot less idle drain.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Should I first flash global ruu or I can just do fresh install of 6.0?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Best bet is to get on the ruu first but you can try a fresh flash first and see how it does.
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
Or you could flash the firmware by itself in superchilpils thread. That's what I did.
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
AOSP Lock Screen Call Bypass

Hi Nils,

Is it possible for you to add AOSP Lockscreen Call Bypass for this Rom ?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
Whoops that would be a Swype auto correct lol. I meant smoother. This Rom is much more smooth than my fresh install of 5.5 was and that was quite smooth already. Everything from unlocking the screen to switching through apps. :)

I sort of miss the aosp lock screen as well as the tweaks as well. Like the dimming of the lights on the soft keys.

Will those be making an appearance in an update?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
So I went back to 3.6. Just to see how it works on the global firmware. Very nice Nils. Also I went into the OTA app and it said there was an update available called patches for version 6. Is this correct?

EDIT: Found the trace option. The OTA question still stands
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Funny you should say that, Nils. I was so happy with your 4.0 ROM that I almost didn't flash this one. But I wanted to help out with feedback.

I prefer this keyboard.

I didn't like the speech button (with the EN/Mic icon) on the 4.0 version because of the language/speech key. You have to long-press it to use the speech function or it tries to change languages for text.

Seems to me it should be the other way around, where a short press enables speech-to-text, and a long-press allows for a language change. So I'm glad to see just the microphone icon, without the language option.

This ROM is very stable and clean. I only had one problem today. When I fired up the Music app to play via Bluetooth, the GUI froze on the phone. The music kept playing, but the menu key would not respond. I killed the Music app using Task Manager, and restarted it, and everything was fine.

Coming from your 4.0, I also noticed that the sound enhancers don't work over Bluetooth on this one. Certainly not a major issue, but that was a really cool feature on your 4.0.

Here is something I've noticed that's happened on every single ROM from every dev I've ever tried:

I use the stock keyboard with Trace. After a few days of flawless use, suddenly it starts to miss even the most basic words, and you have to re-add the words. The Trace function just loses its reliability. I assume it's a memory issue after you start teaching it other words. Is there a way to allocate more space to the dictionary?

Thank you again, Nils, for your amazing work. You are one of the main reasons I chose this phone after the Incredible. What you have brought to this community cannot be put into words, and I hope you know how appreciated and loved you are here.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
I don't understand.

I flashed global RUU through the bootloader, as suggested by one of the users here, and now I can't get into TWRP recovery in order to flash Nils v6.0. I get a black screen with a red triangle when I try to get into recovery.

Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Running the RUU will replace your recovery with the stock HTC recovery. You'll either need to reflash TWRP via PH98IMG.zip (I'm not sure if that's available, I know ones exist for Amon Ra), or fastboot flash TWRP. If you're S-Off, you can do the first option regardless of hboot. If you need the fastboot command, either flash one of the latest updated hboots (see other threads in this section), or unlock again (but you' won't be able to get back to "Locked" without doing S-Off again).
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
This have Google Now?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I haven't tried 6.0 yet so I'm not certain (still on 5.7 so I can use custom kernels), but you can always follow the instructions here to flash the latest Google Now.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
After a full wipe and flashing the 6.0 I'm stuck on the loading screen
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
Yes, seems to work fine.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Someone posted the same thing last night around 5pm, they replied back that after plugging the phone into a power source it booted up fine, not sure why but give it a try

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Never mind, answered my own question lol its early on Sunday

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

If I want the latest global Ruu and I am s-on I would need to relock, flash the ruu, unlock and flash this rom again.

In Nil's post 3 it still shoes the ICS .10 ruu leak, Im not seeing the ruu in the rezound/dev section, only global firmware that require s-off
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I didn't do the ruu either. JUst falshed the radio/firmware

I will look into it

Working on Tweaks but it is giving me fits.

For some reason OTA does that even though the patch isn't needed. You can turn notifications off in the app and clear the notification in the pulldown. If I change the availability on the web site it seems to notify everone even if not needed.

Try plugging it in or reflash with a full charge.

Yeah, I need to update post 3 in both ROM's.

Thanks all
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
KEYBOARD: I agree on the mic vs language. If you go back to 4.0 there is a trick. Go into leyboard settings and disable language toggle and unselect all but the language you are using and the language choice goes away.

MUSIC APP: Hmmm, don't have BT music so I never ran into that.

TRACE KEYBOARD: I will see if I can increase the sql DB size or something.

Thanks for taking the time to feedback
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
So now im ready to s-off and I cant find much about it anymore.

I wanted to use Hansons all in one s-off toolkit 1.0 that I dl'd but the instruction video in the toolkit is no longer available on youtube.

So I went to JuopunutBear's website and watched his video but for the life of me I cant find where to dl the controlbear.exe file I need to s-off that is in the video

Also need the latest global ruu that I cant find as well.

maybe its just me but it seem as if I hit a brick wall this morning, maybe I will just go power wash the garage
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm

Right hand side.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Nils, since the only difference between 5.7 and 6.0 is the incorporation of global functionality (as it seems to me) and the ota feature, would the Tweaks from 5.7 work in 6.0 if I copy-paste the apk file?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Don't try it! Trust me, If it were as simple as that, he'd have em in here.
[HTC Rezound] TecMan45:
Hi NilsP & Friends:

I tried to install your new ROM Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v6.0 with my Rezound (with GB firmware and S-ON) and it worked great with the following ROMs:

- CleanROM GBE 1.7.5 (it was the first ROM after unlocked the bootloader)

- CONROMv6FINAL (its my current ROM)

let me give you the Flash Procedure that I followed:

1. Flash CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezound

2. Flash Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v6.0

3. Choose S-ON in options in Aroma Installer

4. Pull MicroSD Card to computer and delete PH98IMG

5. Boot

After Boot...if I go to Settings/Storage...I see the following:

- Phone Storage: Unavailable

- SD-Card: Unavailable

both memories (internal and external) are not working....something wrong...with CONROMv6FINAL don't have this problem

I had the same problem with RUU-ICS-Global-Plus-v1.1 Odexed for speed 4.03.605.2 710RD

What do you recommend me to fix this problem?

Thanks

TecMan

HTC Rezound

SD-Card: 32GB Class 10

PhoneROM: ConROMV6

Baseband version: 0.95.00.1017
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Only a couple of the functions would work. The systemui, framework-res and Rosie need to be modded.

It won't hurt to try and see what works for you.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This ROM is meant for ICS only but could potentialy work on GB firmware but maybe not all functions.

You could try this old firmware patch and that may fix the mounts

Flash in recovery

Curious to see what works after that
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Why is anybody still running the old firmware?
