Toggling WiFi isn't doing it. This ROM isn't looking too promising. It sits there forever, saying turning on, and then it will connect and show a good 3-4 bars, but connectivity is just awful.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Will post when I get home so I can attach the zip.

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

Edit: This zip can be flashed in recovery. It removes a lot of apps that I do not use. It also replaces the Mail app with one that doesn't require an Exchange PIN and replaces the Gmail app with one that has a color notification icon. If you don't want those to be replaced, simply delete them from the system/app folder in the zip. Do not flash this until you take a look at the "updater script" file to see what is being removed/replaced. Edit that file to suit your needs. This may not be the best way to do things, but it saves me a lot of time after a new flash.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Reboot........
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I would recommend a fresh install again wipe everything, all cache, boot, system, just not your ext sd card.

I and many others have zero issues with this rom, something must have went wrong during the flash.

I had a issues once on the old 4x ICS rom and a full wipe and fresh flash resolved it for me. also be careful of what and how your install your apps, that could cause issues as well. I use app backup and restore. I backup my apps with it and after flash I restore my apps with it, then I use Titanium pro to install data only on a few apps i need data back and rest I setup myself.

I would uncheck fastboot as well in power settings
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Can this be used on other roms? Pkmn for instance?
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Do you flash this immediately after installing your latest ROM (i.e., before you have even rebooted to start up the ROM)?
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
It should work, but I haven't used that rom so I can't be sure.

Yes, immediately after flashing while still in recovery, before booting into rom.
[HTC Rezound] Smitelight:
Glorious

I've just upgraded to v5.4 from v4.2 of this ROM. The fixes are dramatic and genuinely great.

Most impressive, I've noticed that when I'm streaming audio to bluetooth while the phone is plugged in to USB, the battery no longer drains. The battery would previously slowly drain despite the attached charger; the BT and 4G power demands were just too much for the trickling USB bus.

I have to assume that at least part of that is the RUU update since v4.2, but I won't deny that animations are smoother, the task dropdown bar is snappier, and everything I've seen is just BETTER in general. Thanks Nils; you da man.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Sweet. I've been manually updating the Mail app every time Nils comes out with a new version. That's been a lot lately:)
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Any particular reason you delete ES File Explorer? I like it a fair bit myself.

Thanks a lot for the zip btw. I haven't installed 5.4 yet, and I will probably try it out when I do.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
I use Root Explorer...no other reason.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Me too.

In the next release ES File explorer will be an optional install via the aroma menu. I include it for people that need it and uninstall it myself.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I need your help

I am really getting to like this Aroma installer and understanding it so I have been tinkering with it.

I currently have updated the Aroma installer to make the font larger and moved all selection options to one screen with check boxes instead of four. Now have Welcome, Confirm, Selections, and Installing.

Here is what I have on the selection screen:

"ROM Install Choices",

ROM for either S-OFF or S-ON?

Kernel - Required for S-ON only?

Old Firmware Patch - For GB Firmware?

"Personalization"

The Colorized Status Bar?

"Market Applications"

ES File Explorer

So basically you just check the box for all that you want or need to install.

What I am asking is what else would you like me to do during the install. This is a sense ROM so I am not looking to do a full de-sense or anything like that. I was thinking of doing things like a choices to delete specific apps like MyVerizon, VVM, Polaris, etc.

Not promising to add the delete feature but if the idea seems popular I need to see what the say most 5 popular apps are that people always remove.

Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Suggestion

Would you be willing to ADD the flash for Titanium Backup. We gotta get it on there somehow :)
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
How about your black clock and maybe a numeric only battery icon?

Thats all I can think of, deleting apps i dont us is not a big deal for me
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Sounds awesome. I think a general HTC cleanup would be nice -- gr8nole has a pretty good list in his debloat script. Things like HtcDm.apk, HtcFootprints.apk, etc. I don't mind Sense, but I really don't use any of the other stuff that HTC adds in.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If it is the free version, small enough, and people aren't automatically going to replace it, sure.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I rather not remove the clock since it it tied into a few things.

Adding a battery icon change would add 15 meg to the ROM size.

I will look at his list and see which might be a good idea.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
+1 on the Titanium Backup. It is free. The Pro Key is a separate install from the Play Store (which you have to pay for).

I also vote for an option to have a Red Overscroll, instead of Green. :)

And I vote to incorporate the WiFi Tether for Rezound ICS, from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540707
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I would not have thought that a tiny battery icon would be such a large file, No biggie, It was just a thought.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I will check it out again. I tried it before but it needed more setting changes to make it work then the one I use

Only because in Sense 3.6 the batteries are in the framework-res
[HTC Rezound] ogre150:
I vote for keyboard options.

I used to be a developer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee...
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Which keyboards?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Can you make it get me a beer? That would be an awesome feature.

I have the rom on my phone but haven't flashed it yet. I'll have to flash while watching baseball tonight and check out aroma. Sounds pretty cool.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I like the idea of choosing to not install some apps.
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
options for next version

I second TB. and the latest wifi tether How about Root Explorer?

Agree with most of gr8nole's deletions in his script. HTC does add a lot of junk that's not Sense related.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I want to narrow down to top 5 to optional install

See above comment

Root Explorer is a paid app
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
Im running 5.4 since i came out, i debloated it a bit and installed it as is. This is definitely the best battery life ive ever gotten out of the rezound so far. Usually by the end of work, i am down to 20 or so percent, today i had 40%. Used it just as much as i always do. Great work and really enjoying the rom.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Swype!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Sorry, got in trouble once on the Incredible for including it in the ROM
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Sounds great. Enjoy
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
I think I like to remove too many to narrow it down to just 5 :D
[HTC Rezound] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Thoughts on things to include in the next aroma based installer:

- titanium backup free for sure

- remove footprints

- remove friendstream

- option for stock ics keyboard?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Ha! I was running THAT ROM, too! Thanks again for then and now!
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Maybe option to remove stocks, news, talk, footprints,peep.

maybe additional battery mod without %...seeing an actual percent gets me paranoid, so I usually use battery bar....but then I miss some of the cool colorizing you made in the statusbar.

I mentioned before transparent Rosie launcher or sense 4 themed keyboard... Granted those are mods I found from other roms. not sure if it would be worth the time/effort or if anyone has interest in that kind of thing.

Other than that I don't know....this Rom is perfect as is.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Can't you set Rosie to be transparent from the tweaks menu? And Nils already includes an arrowed keyboard in this ROM, how different is the Sense 4 keyboard from the one he has?
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I believe it's just the app drawer, behind the icons on the home screen Rosie is what I was talking about.

Here's the keyboard (i guess it's actually stock sense 4ish...)

Hopefully they are not already included or I am an idiot lol...or just been flashing so much I got confused along the way lol
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Odd...whenever I remove things from the updater-script and save it, it saves it as a txt file and then when I try to flash it in recovery (AmonRa), it reports:

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/Debloat_update.zip (Status 6)

...tried removing the extension...any idea what Status 6 is?

EDIT: Figured it out...I edited it directly in 7-zip and now it works just fine....Notepad and Wordpad reformatted the file.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
While I like the idea of Titanium built in, I seem to recall that the developer discourages doing so. Frankly, I have added it every so often before rezipping and flashing, I usually feel it works better otherwise.

Sent into the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
TB

Wait ...

My suggestion for TB was NOT with the intent to bake it in. Titanium Backup can be flashed from recovery as well. I thought, probably wrongly, that Aroma could simply add that at flash time (isn't that what it is doing to combine the Color Mod flash with the ROM flash?)
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
You can do all that with Titanium Backup.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Yuck! Nils' keyboard kills that ugly old thing. Compared to his, that keyboard is crazy boring. IMO, of course.

The whole point of custom ROMs (I always thought), was to give you a customized experience.

Why would you want a bone-stock looking keyboard when Nils' themed version offers the same functionality with a more attractive appearance?

That'd be like choosing Meg Griffin over Jessica Rabbit! :D :beer:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It needs to be in the rom file for aroma to install it. So it is the same as baking it in.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Interestingly enough, it sorted itself out. Connectivity is just fine now. I didn't do anything. It just sorted itself out, somehow.

It started right away, before I installed any apps. So it couldn't be an interfering app. I never us app backup any more (had problems with it in the past). Just go to the Markey (sorry, "Play" store) and download it fresh each time.

Also, worth noting, is that I flashed the 5.2 ROM, did S-OFF, then went back and wiped, reset, data, cache, dalvik. And repeated all 3x before then flashing 5.4 in recovery (the new installer was cool!). I'd be shocked if anything could go wrong with that process.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Great

Glad it worked out.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Desmond666 for the donation

Much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] Jarheadflip:
Damn just flashed 5.4 last night lol time to flash again thanks for the hard work and rom runs great
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Post 1 updated

Release 5.5

Updated Wireless Tether to SirGatez modified version (Post 3 for instructions)

Updated to Aroma Installer

- Larger font

- Streamlined process

- Single screen for ROM, S-ON Kernel, Old FW Patch, Optional status bar, ES File Manager

Did not include removal processes yet. Coming in maybe the next release.

Flash over is fine from and 5.x version but I recommend at some point you do a fresh install to clean up the past
[HTC Rezound] HarleyChick:
Can someone mirror the new update? I'm getting a "bluecoat filter" access denied message on my work computer.

EDIT - Nevermind. Got it to d/l on phone.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Jeremy, thanks for the donation.

Much appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] chaos254:
I always add in genie widget(Google news) and ICS keyboard. It would be nice if these were included in the rom but that's mainly because I'm lazy lol.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Dude, 3 versions in little more than a week. Take a break, it's summertime! :laugh:
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
What's aroma installer?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Na. that is why I have time. Many of my clients are on vacation :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is a full screen touch add-on to the traditional install process. Depending on the ROM setup it can let you select what gets installed during the install process. For example I set it up to install the ROM for S-OFF and optionally install the old fw patch and kernel for S-ON devices at the same time as the ROM so no need to copy extra stuff to your SD card.

Try it, you will like it
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I like the Aroma front end. Somehow a little more assuring than the pure recovery feedback.

BTW, I'm thinking of doing a complete wipe since 5.0-5.4 have been flashovers, then restoring my last \data Nandroid. Any reason not to give that a whirl?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just the new Wireless Tether that I can think of.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Thanks; had actually already switched to that Wireless Tether.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Nils, Thanks for another wonderful release. I ran your Roms on the Incredible and always appreciated your helpful nature and clear communication. I am thrilled by the battery life on the this.

I S-Offed last night from the .5 ICS leak. In spite of (or maybe because of!) reading every post I could find, I still managed to screw up my SD card! So, I can't play too much with the Rom until I fix that. I formatted it in Windows and am copying my data back to it. I hope it works because the fix in the S-Off thread wasn't getting it for me...Thanks again!

Edit: Flashed the wrong Hboot! Doh! Got me sdcard back, now to enjoy this!
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I DO like it. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Can you talk about "restoring my last \data nandroid"? I'm intrigued.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
OK, here's the scoop. Good practice is to do a full Nandroid before flashing a new ROM (or any other major change to your setup). Using Amon Ra, as opposed to our ancient days of ClockworkMod on the Incredible, you can restore individual partitions, such as ONLY \data.

So, if Nils says it's okay ('cause he generally keeps track of how much mucking around he's done version to version), I do a full factory reset/wipe. Wipe cache, data, system, boot, dalvik again anyway, then flash the ROM. Before rebooting into the ROM, while still in recovery, I restore ONLY the \data partition, and the device typically boots up as if nothing has ever happened --- except it's running the new ROM.

That doesn't work if there are "missing apps" for instance, such as what was going on back around 5.1-5.3 (remember those good old days so very long ago? :laugh:) The missing apps will stay missing.

It means I don't have to do a flashover, but I also don't have to do a complete rebuild of my system, reinstalling apps, restoring wifi points, bluetooth pairings, home screens and all that stuff we love to do more than once a day or two......not.

It's probably NOT the way to go between major updates of ROMs. Say, should Nils ever decide that his Sense 4.0 ROM is good to go, it's probably not advisable to restore the 5.x data partition over what will be 6.x or 7.x or whatever. And it's almost definitely NOT the way to go when you're changing ROMs altogether --- but that's just an educated guess on my part.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
He's referring to using the "Advanced Restore" option in recovery and choosing to restore only /data instead of a full nandroid restore (which normally restores /system, /data, and boot.img. Restoring data allows you to keep all user-installed apps and settings.

Edit: I type too slow...already answered.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Awesome, will definitely try that. Thanks for the info!

(My thanks quota is all used up so I'll get you and gr8nole tomorrow!)
[HTC Rezound] cowman4000:
So which kernel gets installed with this new Aroma installer? I'm still S-ON and I got all the way through the install where it rebooted to bootloader to install the kernel but I canceled it because I wasn't sure which kernel it was going to install. I'm assuming the latest one?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The reason I put it there was so you would get the correct one for the ROM. I assume it did not take the guesswork out like I wanted. It is the latest kernel with minor updates for ROM like init.d support

I should add that the kernel for s-on an s-off are identical and I include the one that works best with the rom
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Nils, you mentioned a larger font in the new version. I don't think I'm seeing that. I checked in the Tweaks app and didn't see the option. Is it an option thing? If so, can you direct me to that button?

Also, is there a way to make the bottom "apps dock" transparent?

Neither of these things are a big deal - just curious. Flashed over 5.4 around 10 this morning. No problems at all so far. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The larger font was in Aroma.

I will look at the transparent dock
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thank to KOOLdezine for the donation

Very mych appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] drbveb88:
To use this Rom or aroma do you have to be S off?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
No, that's why the new installer (Aroma) has options for being S-ON.
[HTC Rezound] gadget!:
You're welcome Nils, Awsome job on this ROM!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Ronald for the donation

Much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] QBall45:
Am I missing it or is there no tweaks mod in this rom?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
You missing it. In the pulldown and app drawer
[HTC Rezound] QBall45:
Thx. I figured as much. Nice work btw.
[HTC Rezound] eman3316@optonline.net:
Didn't see it......
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
It was just the font size of the installer program, not any option for the Rom ;)
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a way in Leedroid Tweeks to make the Rosie transparent?

Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just the app drawer
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I could have SWORN there was.....
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
It might be my fault... I mentioned I flash a mod from another 3.6 Rom for a transparent Rosie launcher and different keyboard.

Another user was right nils keyboard is pretty awesome....I think I may let go of using that other keyboard.

.sorry if I derailed the thread a bit with my last few posts.

Great job nils, the support and work you do is top notch.
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Nils..... All the updates relating to the latest leak along with kernel updates and radio updates. Were they all posted along with the 5.2 ROM or did they all appear afterwards ie 5.3....5.5? I'm asking just to try and confirm that I have already done everything necessary to proceed with.5.5.

Thanks!!!!!

Ps.....i did proceed with the 5.5 update with no issues and so far everything seems to be as good as it gets ;)
[HTC Rezound] Butcher98:
Just got a rezound yesterday and have been trying out a few roms, the installation of this rom was awesome. Look forward to playing around with the rom tonight. Coming from moto droid line so the whole s-on / s-off thing is a little different but I'm reading and learning (I think) :good:
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Nope, not your fault. I've had it before and it somehow went away when I flashed 5.4. Maybe it was just a holdover from something else, but I KNOW I had it at one point.

...just don't know what I did with it (a condition I seem to be getting more and more familiar with as I age). :cool:
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I like having a file explorer program in the rom on boot. Sometimes I don't want to deal with the market and install apps straight from the sd card like titanium and and my backup pro.

As far as data issues, been having them myself here in San Antonio. Even did a ruu install with factory wipe in the factory recovery. I think 4g is on the fritz again for verizon. They better get back hat worked out before the lte iPhone hits.
[HTC Rezound] uToTMeH8:
You should make a flashable zip of your backup app (Titanium or whatever) with App2Zip and flash directly after a new rom install
[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
thanks for recommending this app, real life saver because I use NoBloat all the time right after a flash.
[HTC Rezound] webscathe:
Volume Up to Skip Songs?

Hey Nils,

I finally took the plunge and went RUU, S-Off, and straight to your ROM and am loving it! Amazing work yet again and have been following since your DInc days, thanks for always making my phone better!

So I just have a quick question... Any chance of getting an option in the Tweaks menu to enable a long hold on the "volume up" to skip a song that's playing while the screen is off? It's a HUGE convenience when I'm driving and listening to music off my phone...

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
TB can make a flashable zip of itself, just go to Menu -> Create update.zip, then choose to create the TitaniumBackup.zip
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
So I decided to try the NAND restore of just /data after a full wipe and install of v5.5...well it went terribly. I have to turn my phone off and charge it because I get a message saying my phone is drawing more current than the charger can supply and I should turn it off and charge it. So I did. This morning I will be doing a full wipe and reinstall again...and not restoring the /data partition. Just wanted to try it and it was a fail. So YMMV on that one...

EDIT: So I did a full wipe, then used Titanium Backup to restore just the app data for my user apps. This worked perfectly. No more battery drain, and I don't have to set up the apps again. I think this is a more conservative approach, and can be done with more granularity (i.e. you can choose exactly what apps/data to backup).
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
When I get a chance I will see what I can do about the song skip option

Correct, Your Mileage May Vary
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Thanks I had deleted my backup
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
What additional theming is in 1.3?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just icons here and there that I was not happy with
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
while not using this device for phone or music i must say this 1.3 ROM is slick - thanks Nils!
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I've been having weird issues with the smaller clock. Sometimes the numbers don't display correctly. I have to reboot to fix the problem. Most times the normal clock is fine, but it doesn't seem to like the whole unlock-via-notification-bar thing. Now it's being weird too.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks

Unless BT streaming is your priority I would go with version 1.2
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
i was having periodic reboots with 1.2 using joels 1.7 kernel. with 1.3 and sticking with yours i haven't had one yet nor any other issues. until i do i'll keep u in the loop ....
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Nilsp where is your donate button?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I chose not to have one. I do it for fun and not the money.

Thanks is good enough.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That's odd since the only difference between the 2 was the BT streaming.
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
I restored my backup of 1.1. Is 1.3 any faster/smoother of just slightly themed? I only ask cause a fully settled 1.1 right now is butter. I have never seen nova work so good. A senseless rom made nova laggy but this makes it as smooth as the g nex.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
1.3 only buys you BT streaming and some theme stuff. 1.2 has better sound but if 1.1 is good for you stick with it.
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
How was beats improved in this if you don't mind me asking? I'm still amazed anything at all needed an update from 1.1 lol
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Complex but simple. Some new beats libs and config files
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
Then...if you're happy with the ROM, there's really nothing to be gained by reflashing... :)

I'll wait for a more substantial upgrade...like working data arrows... :cool:
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
To be honest I never notice the arrows on or off lol
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah and that may not get fixed until we get an official or candidate leak
