I was thinking the same thing, but I remember when I was fresh to the root thing I was using backup assit then I found google backup, titanium and app backup & Restore. i have not looked back since.
[HTC Rezound] MIKEOD5785:
I just made the simple mistake of swapping mem cards last week, but forgot to back up my contacts to the new card, then figured I would use backup assistant to bring em back in after flashing this rom, OOPS. No big deal, just re-ran the OTA ics, backed em up from verizon, then bang to mem card, then reflashed this rom, works great so far
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Not sure how to tell! I had M6 installed, but took your OTA update. How do you tell which version you're running?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Niil's

I wondering if there any plans for a transparent Nav bar like we had in old 3.6 rom? I miss that, If not it ok
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
conversation bubbles?

would it be possible to make them the old way for some of us that miss the old style? in the sms or mms i mean!
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
If you wanted to, you could use Handcent and make them look any way you want.

...just sayin'...
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
But then you don't get the nice home screen notifications that work with the stock messaging app ):
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
M6 came with the ROM and my update was M7

See what I can do. It is on my list.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Here ya go

Flash in recovery
[HTC Rezound] JeffBea:
Just installed this rom, looks good as usual nils, thanks
[HTC Rezound] janet7682441:
I don't see LeeDroid Tweaks on the newest version....will you put it back?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I will put it back when it works. There is no public version so I am having to make it work by porting it.
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
thanks nil's!
[HTC Rezound] scriptdevil:
Is there a way to enable the quick launch apps in notification bar without LeeDroid?
[HTC Rezound] vudu:
Just an update on the brightness setting stickiness - I'm giving Chingy's global rom a spin and that ROM keeps the brightness setting from the widget I used.

On a separate note, I gave DSB's global kernel a try also and it was working great with your ROM... Had it overclocked and under volted and had no issues in the time I ran it.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
Anyone else have the issue of NO keyboard in web browser fields? Especially web based forums?. Driving me crazy.

Is there a solution?
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Yes. Sometimes the keyboard wouldn't appear when I wanna respond in Live Journal. I'm using Dolphin Mini Browser.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If your talking about recebt apps I removed it since it was redundant and the built in function (long press home) is much nicer in my opinion anyway.

I will see if I can figire out what Chingy did to make it work but hard to debug.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
What version are you in? I thought I fixed that and I am having no problem.
[HTC Rezound] pixelsquish:
just installed on my rezound, flashed the ICS firmware first, unlocked the bootloader again and easy peasy. very nice smooth rom so far. need a week but so far no excessive hot phone like i had with clean rom.

one very insignificant question, my BT icon shows up red when connected, and blue when not. i kept thinking my BT was messed up since it felt unintuitive. was that intentional?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
+1 on the counter intuitive colors :)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just so I can see for sure it is connected especially if I don't want it connected.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
6.1. Come to think it did work when I initially installed. Broke on included browser and dolphin. Hmmm. After google now 7 upgrade maybe? Hmmm.

Edit. If I click the subject of the reply keyboard comes up. But when i go to the main body keyboard flashes and goes back down. This isn't the only Rom it has happen on. Started happening around release of global/new firmware and google now. Driving me crazy.
[HTC Rezound] scriptdevil:
Thanks, now I dont feel like I'm overlooking it. Nice ROM.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Quick question, and its cool if you don't know yet but when you get tweaks working will it be an OTA or will people have to do clean installs?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Probably OTA and a full. Will be your choice.

I plan do as much as I can with an incremental OTA and also provide a full for first time installs
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
I like this option, now I don't have to be jealous when (if) Verizon pushes an OTA. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I'm excited to be a part of this plan! :laugh:
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I like the current Bluetooth colors. Red means ON!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Welp

To each his own, but I respectfully disagree. Red, the color of NO and STOP should mean it is off, and since it is bluetooth, blue should mean enabled. I see red, I think NO. Of course that is just my opinion.

Oh ... and please stop at red lights and stop signs; don't let "Red"="Go" on your phone confuse you :)
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Haha I was doing that exact same thing. Nils, I will be awaiting your update man :)
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Yep back up and running with 2.0 with a flashover and wipe of cache and dalvik beforehand.
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
Or you can just pull your card and insert in your pc and delete or rename the kernel
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
If you have a little time, you don't have to wait. Just put 1.4 on, run through the setup, and flashover v2.0 on top. Just wipe Dalvik and you're good to go.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That is what I was just going to suggest. Just install 1.4, go through setup and don't even bother setting anything up and reboot and flash v2.0 over it.

Version 2.0 is really worth getting to since it fixes so many things.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Definitely the preferred method, yes. The other is just a quick way to get back up and running if a computer isn't available.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
This is the best Sense ICS I've ran so far! I usually switch to a different launcher but this time I decided to stick with Sense since it fits my whole black theme. Is there a way to make the dock background transparent instead of frosted? That's the only thing I don't like.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
It is a little bit of a PITA to get started. But I am really liking it so far. Very smoothe.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
what is the kernel ver. that its supposed to have?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah but it is worth getting to it.

This setup thing is busting my butt and I am not going to let it win.

3.0.16........ build-144#1
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
Pita yes, worth it? HELL YES. thanks nils for this. Fastest one yet. I've tried almost every flavor of this leak but enjoying this one the most
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Agreed. I really like the tweaks.
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
Does leedroid work? I forget who's release its broken on lol
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So, just so I'm straight, BT streaming does not work "out of the box" for 2.0, but if I flash the two zip files in post 3 I *will* have functional BT streaming at normal volume? (Any issues with BT streaming is a deal breaker, which is why I ask), and this looks like I may finally be able to return to the fold....
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Thanks NilsP I am officially back in "BUSINESS":D

One thing though is on this ROM and all the new releases I cant log into my Jobs WPA2 wifi.

I had no problem on your 1.4 release. Its something about the new kernel I think.
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
I noticed this on Joel's , ill check in one second
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I will check into it. Works on mine with WPA

Yes, very much so

@Folks: Thanks for sticking with me. I WILL beat this setup thing if it kills me
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
And I am sure every 1 of us is with you!!
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
Btw the theming on this is epic. Just the right amount. Not overly colorful. I love the wifi icon
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I can login to my home router using WPA2 encryption.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I went with the security aspect since red means you are connected and exposed if Bluetooth is connected to something you may not have approved. So, blue means it is turned on and red means it is connected to something. Just came from a security conference I attended a long time ago.

It also stands out better when I look at it in my car.

So what should the colors be for when on and when connected?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Welp

I would have expected BLUE for BLUEtooth on; and Red for off; but again, this is not so important as to become a 'thing'. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I'm trying to work up a give a s***. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
It IS blue for Bluetooth 'on', as in enabled or activated on the phone. The red is cool because it signifies the fact that not only is it active, it is connected.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This is what it use to be before I made it all red. Nobody noticed then.

I have to be honest that I always had mixed emotions about the solid red but used it so it would stand out. I was thinking of going with greyed out for on and blue for connected.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
I like the all red, the way you made it Nils.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
It kind of surprpised me when I first saw it while connected. But, as you say, in the stock ROM it's Blue when on/disconnected and Blue w/Red when on/connected. So, making it more red made sense to me.

All that said, I don't see anything wrong with the original, stock color scheme for the BT icon.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I prefer the original...only partially red.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
2 things:

1) I just noticed that it seems like screen captures don't work. It acts like it works, but the saved picture is blank.

2) My current drain rate (via Battery Monitor Widget) runs around 40 - 60 mA when my phone is sitting idle. My brother just sent me a screen shot from BMW on his Rezound. He is running the Cubed 1.5.1 kernel and BMW shows his current drain rate ranging from 9 - 17 mA. That is frickin' amazing! Does anybody know if that kernel will work with this ROM? Is this the same as the DSB kernel I've seen mentioned in other posts in this thread (I think)?
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Yep, it works great. I'm running dsb's 1.5.1 global kernel.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks Ozy666 for the donation

Very much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Are you using the power home option for screenshot?

Results on drain will vary based on what sync you have set, apps installed, etc.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Thanks, dassh.

Are you running overclocked or undervolted?

Can you check your history in Batt Mon Widget and see what kind of battery drain rate you have when your phone is sitting idle?

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Yes. Power/Home. Makes the camera click noise. Displays a message that it's saving the pic. I go look in Gallery and there's a pic there, but it's blank. I checked Details on one of them and I think it said the image resolution was -1x-1.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Hmm, works fine for me. You have not by any chance changed the camera have you?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Nope. I'm running the ROM just as it was installed - just with additional apps installed. Have done nothing with/to the camera.

I just rebooted the phone and tried it again and it worked.

But then I deleted the pic (in Gallery) and it left the same kind of empty image file behind. I deleted THAT and it went away.

Then I did a screen shot of my Home screen. That saved, but only the top half of the image. The bottom half is just black.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Since you haven't made any changes to the camera app or the rom, my guess would be the sd card. Maybe something's wrong with it? Try formatting it through the computer. Remove the important files first, of course.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
So, you would assume there's a hardware problem before you would guess that there's a bug in the software? Hmmm.... I think I'll hold off on pursuing that. ;)

The SD card seems to work fine for all the music that's stored on it. And for taking (and storing) normal pictures and viewing and deleting them in Gallery.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Overclocked. 384/1.62. I haven't touched voltages. Using intellidemand governor.

Not sure where to look in history for the drain while idle. I see "drains" but I've been on the phone and I'm currently charging. I do not see anywhere an indication for "idle"
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
You would just have to leave the phone idle for a while and then, after you turn the screen back on and start looking at it, look back in the History at what it was doing while you had it idle. On mine, it seems to log every 10 minutes, so you might have to leave it idle (with screen off) for 20 or 30 minutes to really get an idea of what it's doing then.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Wow...

There is no bug in the software. Mine works just fine, so the Rom is not the problem.

I suggest you fix permissions, and wipe your caches first.

You may have a bad download. Did you check the MD5?

Are you on global firmware/hboot?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Bill (id?) for the donation

Very much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Not sure what exactly you're looking for. So, a screen shot may be easier.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Seems like every couple days, I get a Facebook authentication fail. Anybody else seeing this?
[HTC Rezound] Tom Barrister:
Yes, and that's probably not the fault of the ROM. Facebook has been juped since it "upgraded" to its new look. My younger relatives occasionally have the same problem on stock Anroid, Iphone, and PC.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Nah
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yes. ...and I am on the Sense 4 ROM. It's a Facebook issue from what I know, not the ROM.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I think the Facebook I put in 6.1 is the good one.

So don't update from the market..
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Yes, that looks like you're getting idle time comsumption down in the 10mA range, which is great!

Thanks for posting.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

I'm not sure how permissions could be the issue. I mean, it works some of the time. If permissions are wrong somewhere, then the same action should get the same result every time, right?

I've been running this ROM exactly as-is since Nils did the last OTA push for 6.1 - so, what? At least a week? It's been fine except for this. I checked the MD5 of the 6.0 flash that I downloaded, on my PC. But, I didn't check it again when I copied it over to my phone. And I had no way to check the MD5 on the OTA that came later. Regardless, it seems unlikely to be a corrupt download.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The OTA actually checks the md5 so that is not the problem.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Test driving that kernel on this ROM this afternoon - seems rather laggy, but will play with it some more.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
No lag at all for me.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Share the detail on your settings?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Mine doesn't seem laggy, either. I have not changed any settings. I was running Nils' ROM and just flashed this new kernel. I ran No-frills CPU once and had it o/c to the max (1.8GHz). It ran for a couple of minutes and then rebooted. So, now it's back to the stock default settings and I'm just leaving it alone to see how battery compares to the kernel I was running before (the one from Nils' ROM).
[HTC Rezound] troy7548:
Is there a way to remove the Clock in the upper right corner I can't find a setting anywhere.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Not as of yet. The tweak is usually in the Tweaks settings but they're not implemented in this Rom yet. The developer is working to get that done.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Nils,you're the Rock of this Forum! I flash other Roms and before I know it, the Dev is off onto a new one. Business Sense is like coming home. So glad you keep on trucking!

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Intellidemand governor, sio scheduler, 1024 cache, 384 mhz/ 1.62 ghz, sd tweaks and cpu settings on boot complete, all others disabled.

Couldn't have said it better!

In dsb's thread, for lag, they are suggesting wiping boot, dalvik, and cache, then reflashing the kernel. It seems to have cured lag for others.
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
Yeah, It's not working at all for me... I'm going to try a couple things and see if it helps. Then I might end up reflashing :( booooo

I'm on the latest. Going to try a couple things to try and fix it since I know 6.1 isn't supposed to have the issue.

- Steve

Edit - clear cache/dalvik didn't help. Will try reflashing the ROM in a bit, but need to do a backup first. This issue occurs in both Dolphin browsers and the stock browser.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Seems just some sites don't work. Has anybody had success with the browser in any of the global roms?
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
I have had the issue in all global rims. But Nils I swear it has something tobdo with google now. I think it worked fine in 6.1 until I ora the v7 google now update? Maybe idk for sure. Might try removing it if I can or flash the old version? Both? It is weird most fields like name or email work. But large unformatted fields like bio or reply in forums no keyboard.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
For me, the browser is the worst part of the Android experience, no matter what Rom I'm on.

It hangs, causes overheating, is slow, and basically sucks in general.

Nils, anything you can do to improve the browser would make you a God among men.

I don't know if there is a way to allocate more RAM or cache to it, but I hate to use the browser. And again, I don't mean just yours. I mean any of em.

Thank goodness for forum apps like Tapatalk.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I don't think it is Google Now since I am running pure v6.1 which does not include the v7 update and still have the problem. That is not to say it isn't any version of Now doing it.

Am trying a few different browsers now If I get a fix I will post it
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
Thanks for looking into this Nils! I'll hold off on reflashing in case you find something!

- Steve
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Okay,

no android or htc browser is any better

It's not Google now - I removed it

So, I need to confirm it works on the stock global OTA before I debug any further
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Yes. It's really annoying.

My tablet doesn't do it and I'm running the same version of the "official" FB app on both.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Have you tried using Dolphin instead of the stock browser?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yeah, I've tried them all. I didn't try the stock global OTA though. It works on your Sense 4 ROM, so it has to be related to the OTA itself.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I just tried posting a reply to this thread using Dolphin and it doesn't work, either.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Oh, you need a browser to make posts here? Sorry, I didn't know. I thought you needed one just to browse websites. I'm using xda app from the market to post here. Why don't you use that?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Whoa, that was hateful, sarcastic, and unnecessary.

He was just helping out by pointing out a problem. We should be able to do post from the browser if we choose to.

Why attack him for simply participating in the discussion?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Thanks, BBEgo, but it's okay. I often come across as unpleasantly sarcastic when I don't mean to be. I have no problem taking the comment at face value.

izgil82, you don't need a browser to post here. That should have been obvious to you since you're using the XDA app. Personally, I don't use the XDA app because using the browser (usually) works just fine for me. Mostly, I read this on my PC or on my GNote 10.1 tablet, and both of those work very well in a browser. And I'd rather use the browser than either, A, deal with the ads in XDA Free, or, B, pay for XDA Premium.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Speed in "browsing," and I mean the whole experience of searching for a webpage, entering text, rendering graphics, and so on, that goes into making something load on your display, whether it be a phone, tablet, or desktop, has been steadily improved over many years since the early days of graphical browsing, when you had websites with relatively little to load other than some text and a couple pictures. These improvements have been made necessary because of the sheer quantity of dynamically generated content, scripts, re-directs, ads, and various other cruft that crept into our webpages since those days. A browser these days is really an operating environment unto itself.

Now try to write this stupendously complicated engine in java, a notoriously inefficient language to begin with, and have it perform acceptably on a tiny processor in a tiny device that has its own constraints: don't set the user's hand on fire, don't run the battery low in 10 minutes, oh but still provide sort-of snappy response when someone's tapping on your screen (which by the way requires its own set of iterative and transformative matrix computations on an already loaded CPU.) These requirements are relatively inconsequential when a full browser runs on a desktop, hence when we sit at our PC or on a laptop we get quick-load webpages and few problems. When we try to load even mobile versions on our phones, the ecosystem is so vastly underpowered that any browser, even "optimized" engines, are going to struggle mightily.

What I look for in a browser on my mobile device: it loads the google search page relatively quickly and lets me pull up a wikipedia page if I have to look something up. Otherwise, I really don't expect much from the browser. There are apps that are protocol- and application-specific that do ONE thing, and do it well, rather than trying to do all that a full-featured web browser has to do.

TL; DR: Browsers on mobile devices are crap, always will be crap. Use the app for what you want to do instead.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Ok. So when a new post is made I get an email in my Gmail app. I open it and there is a link to the post. I touch it and it takes me to the browser. How do I make that take me to the XDA app, or whatever app I am using for my 5-7 other forums I frequent? If I could get that to work, I wouldn't use the browser as much, however the bottom line is that I use the browser a lot for other things too, so I need it to work.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Turn notifications on the forum off, turn notifications in the XDA app on. When you get the notification from the XDA app, it'll take you to the app instead of the browser.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I tried Dolphin earlier and the keyboard did not display. I then tapped Home to leave the browser and then set my phone down for a few hours while I've been working.

I just happened to look at Usage in Battery Monitor Widget and found that Dolphin is now the single biggest consumer of my battery. It has been using more than the Screen. I just killed the app, to stop it.

Just an FYI for the rest of you that this issue with the browser(s) and keyboard could cause your browser to loop in the background chew up your battery....
