I absolutely didn't attack anyone. I misunderstood what you were saying and because of that my response is now misunderstood too. Your original post was

---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.---

No word about posting here using the browser, so I suggested you to use Dolphin browser (without realizing that he needed one to use to make posts here). But then stuartv said that he tried to use Dolphin browser to make posts here and that's when it was made clear to me that you guys wanted to use the browser in a sense of posting replies here. I thought you were generally dissatisfied with the stock browser (just like i am, lol). I suggested to use Dolphin browser because I thought you didn't like the stock browser in a general sense, not in a sense of posting replies here, so that's why I made that suggestion.

I understand that my response looked totally what I didn't mean it to. I'm sorry about that.

No hatred or sarcasm on my end at any point at all.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Exactly. I misunderstood BBEgo's post and that's where all the confusion occurred.

Other than that, I've never used any browser to make posts here. If I realized from the very beginning that that's what BBEgo's post was about I would've not responded in any way. I'm sorry for the confusion once again.
[HTC Rezound] judas420:
I use the chrome browser when I have to browse the web without a dedicated app. I find it to be alot more reliable than the stock browser. It handles multiple tabs much better, and I havent noticed any keyboard issues, running 6.1. I havent tried any other browser, but chrome works as good as I would expect a web browser on the phone.

Nils, your roms rule, thanks for all your hard work.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
I went back to deuce, also a global, and have the same issues with stock and dolphin as i do on 6.1. The only browser that seems to show the keyboard is chrome for some reason

Edit: i don't think it's rom specific. I think the globsl base is the cause.
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
+1 on Chrome. been using ever since the global ota and stock browser keyboard issues started up. Also, Opera Mobile works well.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yeah, I've tried that in the past, but when I get a notification from the app, it goes to a blank screen in the app with the loading wheel....and that is where it stays...the page never loads. I seriously left it for 20 minutes once and it never did load. blech...no biggie.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Ditto
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
Nils, is it possible and quick and easy to package your kernel as a seperate zip? I'm interested in trying other kernels and looking for a quick restore if I have issues. If not I can always nand restore or reflash.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I believe he did in post 2 or 3.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Well, posting like this from Dolphin didn't work. But doing it from Chrome does! :D
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
I will try Chrome again....

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Yep seems to be working.

as an aside. I flashed the new Adreno drivers to this Rom and.have noticed significant increase in smoothness. Could be placebo, but so far so good.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Nils

now that Con has stated he will not maintain / update TWRP, do you suggest staying on it or switching over to CWM or back to AR?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I am interested in this as well. From Post 3:

Kernels

Flash in recovery (No need to rename). It will install modules and then auto boot to bootloader to install the boot.img

Stock Kernel from 3.14.605.10 leak (6/10) >> Here

NOTE: This is the stock kernel which is the ICS leak (3.14.605.10) included in 5.x ROM

MD5 - 0cbe09bd126efc11ad0ecb89d7b878b8

Is this the current Kernel? I can't check on my phone because I'm already test-driving another one.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
UPDATE: Kernel from this ROM now in post 3. Flash in recovery and it will automatically reboot to bootloader to install.

At the point neither TWRP or AmonRa are supported for the Rezound so it is a matter of preference. I am using CWM but TWRP would be my second choice and AR my third since AR does not work correctly with the OTA Updater.
[HTC Rezound] pvndpk:
Dev-Host: Rezound Cubed ICS Kernel 1.5.2 for ICS OTA Based ROMs

Dev-Host: Rezound Cubed ICS Kernel 1.5.2 for Sense 4.0 Based ROMs

MD5: 091c4a353c1e71c0f02e7a555f2c10a6

which one among 3 will work with s-on?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
If you are on this ROM, you are likely on the Global Leak (4.03.605.2). So the 3rd one. If you are running this ROM on the OTA, then you need the 1st one. The 2nd one will never apply to this ROM as it says in the title it is a Sense 3.6 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Nils, Do we still need to use the CWM version you posted? Or can we use the latest now?
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
What if I'm running this ROM as an OTA? It's still Global, though. Which one do I need then?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
The third one. The first one, which says ICS OTA is referring to the official (leaked) OTA RUU, not Nils' OTA process.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Nils, are you using dsb's kernal for this? I've flashed the one in Post 3 several times and I still get dsb's 1.5.2. Since that was the one I was on before I started this, I can't tell what the heck I'm doing! :crying:
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I believe somewhere in DSB's thread, he specifically mentions that installing his kernel changes some files in /system and if you want to go back to a stock kernel, you need to reflash your ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Why are you ditching DSB's 1.5.2 anyway? I was just about to update from 1.5.1 to .2.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Is it rebooting to bootloader and installing the ph file?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I'm not seeing any improvement over what Nils had included in the original ROM. I tried several settings and played with it for the last 3 days. Wanted to go back to "stock" to compare again.

Also, I did try re-installing the ROM (dirty flashover) - no change. If I have to do a complete wipe in order to change back, I doubt I'd ever try another version of that kernel.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Yes, it appears to do so - it does automatically reboot; can't tell if it goes into bootloader (I'm not seeing that screen), but it does the "updating apps" thing afterwards.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If it went into bootloader you would have seen it. You would have had to hit power to install the ph file. Extract the ph file from the kernel zip file and put it on your sdcard and boot to bootloader and see what happens

Also, try downloading it again just incase

Don't bother. There is something wrong with the zip file. I will fix it
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
New version of the v6.x ROM Kernel in post 3

Download and try again. It will go to bootloader like it should.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The one I posted is the latest (5.8.14) but it also includes the battery fix for dead batteries.

I was saying to not update ROM Manager from the market if you are an RM user
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
new kernel

Looks to be the same file as before; MD5 files are the same. 145pm EDT
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I know but it is right. Had 1 change for 1 char. Did you download it and try it. I did

I actually think I uploaded the wrong file the first time
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
What's the change for 1 char? If you don't mind me asking.
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
md5 question on change

Sounds good but I would think that the md5 data would change because of the 1 character difference.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just a typo in the script
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Not if I put the md5 for the right file and uploaded the wrong one. They had the same name in different folders.
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
md5 question

lol

glad I never make that kind of mistake
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Let me try to explain so we are not going back and forth and wasting each others time.

I created the zip file and tested it and it failed.

I copied to another folder and fixed it.

Tested it and it worked

Did the md5 for the good file

Posted the md5 for the good file

Uploaded the original wrong file.

I am beginning to regret posting it since the kernel is so easy to install with the ROM Aroma installer.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Any feedback on using those? I think you have to be S-off to use them.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Sorry, Boss. Exact same experience. Tried it twice: I tried downloading directly to the phone and then to my computer. It does reboot, but apparently not to bootloader. No change of kernal.

In case it makes a difference, I'm running TWRP.

UPDATE: I pulled the PHIMG file from the zip and ran it in bootloader. The "stock" kernel is back. Thanks!!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Could be TWRP not liking tmp where I put the scripts. The original one didn't work on CWM but the fixed one did.
[HTC Rezound] chompy:
5.7 to 6.1

Can you flash 6.1 from 5.7 (I realize a wipe is probably req'd). When I flashed 5.7 I didn't have the new firmware.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I highly recommend a factory reset then flash v6

Completely new framework
[HTC Rezound] chompy:
Battery/no service drain

This might be totally off topic but since you are here is there a way to limit the battery drain (without switching to airplane mode) when you are in a limited reception area?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
When i really need to conserve battery I shut off the mobile network turning the phone into just a phone, It really makes a huge difference. You still get calls and texts just no internet stuff. i can go 2 full days in that mode.
[HTC Rezound] chompy:
Yeah I do that when I really need to stretch it. I would rather carry a cheap backup battery with me or my charger but sometimes thats a necessary step.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Nils, since this topic has been mentioned, would you recommend a fresh install of all the apps that I've had with 5.7 after installing 6.0/1 or a nandroid restore of data from 5.7 is good enough?

Also, would you happen to know anything about deep sleep setting? Another developer here came out with a kernel that has Sleep2Wake function which basically means to swipe your finger over the capacitive buttons (left to right to wake up, right to left to put to sleep) to wake the phone up and put it back to sleep. However, for some people it doesn't always work from the first swipe and the guess is the deep sleep thing. I personally never heard of deep sleep setting before :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I always recomend a full wipe but many have had good luck with ti restores of just data apps.

I will look into deep sleep.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Lol I meant swipe2wake. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I know, I was just on my phone so I type the shortest notes I can and that was easier to type :o
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
FWIW, I updated to DSB's 1.6.1 kernel this morning - which has the Sweep2Wake funcationality. Most of the time it does work for me. But, at least one time today, I took my phone out of my pocket and Sweep2Wake did not work. Normally, as soon as I touch the Home key, all the buttons light up and I feel a haptic feedback vibration. I swipe across to the search button and the screen comes on. But, as I said, at least once, when I took my phone out, touching or swiping across the buttons did nothing. No lighting up. No haptic feedback.

I pushed the button on top and it came right on and worked normally. I turned it off (with the button on top) and tried the Sweep2Wake swipe immediately and it worked.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Ah, my reading comprehension is lacking. So, after flashing CWM can we update RM? It's a little annoying to get the update notice and not update
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
You could always break the link to the play store using titanium. Then you wont get the update notifications.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Go into Market settings and turn off notifications. You will still see it in My Apps but atleast no notification bar reminder
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Good idea, thanks
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Nils,

Thanks for such a great ROM. It's so nice to have my Kindle back.

I'm messing with dsb's various kernels just to have something to flash, but the stock kernel yields the best overall performance/battery life.

Thanks for the great work.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks

Keep me posted on your kernel endeavors
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Hey. I've been messing with them recently as well. I decided to stick with 1.0.7 until he fixes some issues with the 1.6.1. It runs much cooler than the stock one. With the stock one my phone's temperature would jump to 115 degrees in a few minutes of usage, and then even higher in a little while during continuous usage. I'm currently running smartassV2. What about you?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Question. It's not really about this ROM, per se. But, you guys are my favorite Rezound experts.

My phone says I have 0 space on Phone Storage. I.e. if I go into Settings / Storage, it says:

Internal storage: Apps 0.91GB, Available 1.31GB

Phone storage: Available 0.00B

SD card: Total space 59.46GB, Available 11.20GB

So, how do I tell what's using up my Phone storage, and how do I fix it?

In Settings, under Phone storage, there is an option for Erase phone storage, but it says it will Erase music, pictures and all data on the storage. I don't think I want to do that...

[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
How do you Flash dbs Kernel ??? I've tried flashing dbs kernel on this Rom as well as Stock Rom but never ever get the phone booted. It just stuck at the Boot Screen
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Make sure you're downloading the kernel for the Global ROM (the 3rd one in his list). Not the one that says ICS OTA.

If you're S-Off, it should flash just fine. At least, 1.5.2 and 1.6.1 did for me.

I agree with izgil82, though. I've been running 1.6.1 and digging the Sweep2Wake thing. But, according to Battery Monitor Widget, I'm burning battery a lot faster now than I was with the stock kernel from Nils' ROM, so I'm thinking about reverting back.
[HTC Rezound] bucklyv:
Hey brother... I had to revert back to 1.5.2... Was getting all weird and laggy after a couple of hours.

Not sure why, but it doesn't seem to happen on the slightly older build.

Later
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Hey brother... that is weird. Mine has been fine on 1.6.1. If it wasn't for the burn rate I'm seeing in BMW, I would be totally happy with it. But, the burn rate is definitely higher than what I had before.

Have you checked DSB's thread and read the various posts about difference governors? There was at least one that they were talking about specifically as having problems. SmartAss, I think? Or maybe Interactive. DSB specifically recommends Intellidemand.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
CWM issues

Nils, I installed the version of Rom Manager you posted and flashed 5.8.1.4 CWM with it. But, I am unable to do anything in recovery. Can't backup, flash zip, etc... When I select anything it goes to the Android robot with the spinning thing in it and just sits there. If I push the power button again it goes back to the recovery menu. I have to battery pull to get out of it. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
To be honest, there's no improvement over stock kernel. It's just something to play with.

IMO, there is no benefit at all.
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
if you want to select what to do in that recovery, you have to hit the home button, then it will work, selecting the back button is the same as backing out to the previous screen. i thought something was wrong when i used cwm also but home button is one not the power button.;)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
You can alao flash the touch version I. posted and just use the screen
[HTC Rezound] jdm2008315:
Hey Nils, I"ve been reading through the thread about browser issues. I know you recommend the global firmware but do you do still recomend it in light of the browser issue, if you use the browser? Is this just the stock browser? I read somewhere that Opera was ok but do you know if it does or not?

Trying to decide which version is best for me, and if this browser issue is big or just a minor issue esp since I use Opera and not the stock browser. I'm currently on the non-global ICS
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
Not seeing it.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is a small issue with the keyboard not popping up in some entry fields on sites like XDA. Seems to effect stock and opera. Reported that Chrome works fine

In post 3 where the ROM Manger entry is there is a link to where I posted CWM touch
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Those who had issues with dsb9938's kernel 1.6.1 should try 1.6.2. You can turn off swipe2wake using terminal.

You should be S-OFF, and best practices would be to wipe cache, dalvik AND boot before flashing the kernel, but I have been on it for more than a day and it's fine.

That's not a bug, it's a feature of ICS; it's the new way to choose input method. You can't get rid of it.

[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
I never said it was a bug.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Tecman,

The wire trick, as It's being called, is best achieved with a paperclip. They are malleable enough to conform to whatever shape you choose, but strong enough to hold its shape during use.

I would recommend updating to the official ICS firmware so you don't have to fool around with firmware patching. I don't know if it makes any difference re: S-off, but it just doesn't make sense to stay on the old GB stuff anymore (never really did, IMO).

You must be on a rooted ROM. I was on one of Nils'.

Make sure you have a spare SD card that can be wiped, and put it in before you start. Maybe the process has been improved, and it doesn't wipe SD's anymore, but why risk it?

Read the thread, watch the video, and go for it. If you still can't do it, ask around and see if any of us lives near you. Maybe one of us can help you get it done.
