Ah, so basically the same thing. Damn. Why does this camera take such pics at full zoom...
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I have only done one backup, I have Amon Ra 3.15. When I tried to restore, Amon said it restored by the phone wouldn't boot.

I wish I could find more info on Amon, I have googled it and nothing about how to use it, IE: what boxes to check when making a backup, I checked every box on my first backup, Obviously I am doing something wrong. cwm w/ the Dinc was a no brainer, click backup and your done, No options

Can someone tell me what boxes to check when backing up my rom?

Hitch
[HTC Rezound] Primevyl:
I typically back up everything but the external sd...also I wouldn't compress it

»»Rezound running BusinessICS 2.3 by Nils««
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Take the defaults and just add the 2 secure options.

If you prior backup was from a different ROM you also need to flash the kernel for it.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
It was the stock rom just after root. This flashing the kernal thing has me scratching my head, didnt have to do that to make a rom work w/ the Dinc. I am on you gingersense rom now. maybe that is why the restore failed, but where do I get the kernel zip to flash

Hitch
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
Stock Kernel here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476152

Its my understanding that the reason we need to flash the kernel this way is cause we do not have s-off like we did on the Dinc. Once we have s-off it should be no different to flash a rom. Honestly I wish for better CWM compatibility than to get s-off.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Since we don't have S-OFF there's an extra step involved in flashing a kernel, as the booted recovery mode image can't write to the main system's boot partition. But fortunately, fastboot can, so as long as you can find the PH98IMG.zip that came with your old ROM (it should have dumped it onto the root of your external SD card when you installed it, you should have saved it somewhere just for this case) you can just put it back and boot into fastboot.

If you're talking about stock ... well, you might have to flash a stock or leaked RUU unless someone's got a PH98IMG.zip for the default stock kernel ... Dunno about that.

Edit: I see someone just posted the link for it.

Good luck!

It's digital zoom and any phone or camera will look like crap that's normal.If our phone had optical zoom it would look better.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
What's the purpose of making such lens if they're unusable at full zoom? The droid incredible's camera made better shots at full zoom, the images weren't as distorted as with this one. I assume it had an optical zoom, then?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
No the Dinc did not have a optical zoom. The cmos chip must have been better at zoom focas then the Rezound cmos chip has.

Can you add volume buttons control media in lockscreen?

This phone's pics KILL the Incredible's pics. And the new camera mods have only made them better.

My battery life has been worse on 3.4. I flashed over 3.3 and changed nothing else. Besides a fresh flash any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Here's the pic I tried to post earlier today (the xda app doesn't upload pics for some reason).

The battery life is ridiculous. I'm running Sebastian's kernel. I'll switch back to the stock one (the one that came with this rom).

My phone lasted precisely 6 hours today. Didn't even make it through my school day.

I'm assuming the kernel that I need is this one "Currently running a ICS ROM after installing the OTA:

Main Version = 2.01.605.11" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476152?
[HTC Rezound] Kravur:
So, I went through my 3rd battery over this last weekend. The first time this happened it was over night, woke up the next morning and it was dead. Second time, I had it pushed up under my pillow on accident rather than on my night stand and it died (overheat maybe?). This last time, I was Tethering and talking on the phone simultaneously and it just turned off dead. Last time I had looked at it prior to death, the phone had about 35-45% life left. On every instance the phone could be plugged in, showed the red charge light for aprox. 3-5 seconds then the light turned off again. Would not get another red light indication unless I pulled the battery and reinserted it. I had a Dinc prior to this phone and never had any issues with it what-so-ever; so I do not know if any of this is common. This phone is on its 4th stock battery but I guess I am at fault for that? Or do I have a faulty phone?

If/When this battery dies, do I request a new phone under man. warranty or do I go with the aftermarket Mugen battery?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this Nils.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
You have got to have something that is keeping the phone awake. How long was the screen on for and what intensity was it? The display and 4G are what sucks down battery like its nobody's business.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I completely agree with EmerikL. I have gotten 16 hours 22 minutes today, and still over 25%, using wifi for at least 8 hours. I keep my screen at 30% and auto-off at 2 minutes. I also underclock to 1026 with a conservative governor when the screen is off.

I know my sig still credits SebastianFM's kernel, but I am actually running whatever Nils cooked into 3.4.

[HTC Rezound] ae1990:
Love the sense 3.6 HD camera but any chance of the sense 4 camera being integrated for the still shot while video feature? And the continuous shot? Just asking if not its all good not a deal breaker I love this rom. First time I've ever flashed back to a sense rom on any phone from asensleess of cm rom lol. Can't beat this m. Not by a long shot.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Seems like there are good days and bad days. I think the worst days are for people with the old firmware plus other possible contributing factors like apps running in the background.

I have been doing some tinkering but no luck yet.

The one thing I really like about Sense 4.0 is the camera but I am not yet happy with the sense 4.0 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] Primevyl:
When you say your 3rd battery are you exchanging them our buying them?

All you need for a dead battery is a battery only charger

»»Rezound running BusinessICS 2.3 by Nils««
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
I keep my screen on Auto and auto-off every 30 seconds. Also, running a screen-off profile at 486 max with a conservative governor. When the screen is on it's at 1512 max with conservative go governor. Nevermind my sig.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I explained this earlier in the thread and in a thread in General. Rather than retyping it, I'm going to link to my explanation and suggestions there. I encourage you to try this instead of wasting Verizon's money replacing what are perfectly good batteries. This is why people shouldn't root their phones unless they can fully self-support themselves (that includes maybe, you know, buying yourself a battery charger.) Verizon is paying the price for what should be a voided warranty, and that price is reflected back on us in what they charge for phones.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25013508&postcount=14

I think that's the right post ...

Sorry for the soapbox, but I have always thought if you break it you get to keep both pieces, not foist the costs back on the telco who has to replace something that's NOT EVEN BROKEN.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I'm glad you feel that way, Nils. I just don't get what people like about 4.0 so far. I hate that they took away our carousel.

That's not to take away from the efforts of Newt, Joel, and the others. Those guys are all geniuses, and are the reason we even have the option of running 4.0 on our devices. It's just a personal preference. I just don't dig the interface as much. But who knows... maybe I'll come around.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I have nothing against 4.0 and do like some features of it but not yet impressed most likely since it is not ready as a daily yet. I do have a running version but with the same problems as the other guys like lag, graphics problems, intermittent BT and MMS problems. I will not release anything until I am happy with it.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to Cresta for the donation...
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
On the battery front, and this isn't specific to this ROM, but rather Android in general, it's really important to check what's eating up your battery from time to time. For instance, when Read it Later "updated" to Pocket, the default was to update on a regular basis. Background updates will eat up battery life.

So, the moral of the story is: (1) check your background functions, and every time an app updates, check whether the background functions are changed; and (2) make sure you dig through all your app's options (for instance, sometimes just hitting menu in a settings screen will bring up yet another set of options) to make sure you're not burning power without intending to.

Great. Glad it's working for you.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Great. Glad it worked out
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Lots of people downloaded this new version so I would appreciate some feedback on whats working and not working.

My most interested fixes:

Bluetooth streaming - I have 2 confirmations working

Beats - Works good for me

No Sense FC when something is installed to SD Card - Works for me

No Sense FC when disconnecting from PC Mass storage

Thanks

I flashed this over the previous version and let the ph98img flash too, and I got the wifi error. Should I do a complete wipe and flash again . Or what do you think?

Full flash sorry.

I am still trying to figure out why a flash over breaks WiFi

Also, I keep on getting random contact matching. People that have matched before and now it gives a notification and the list is empty.

Hey nils I'm going to give this one a spin, coming from your 3.5 ics sense rom.

Excellent Rom Nils! The smoothest, fastest, ics Rom I've used. Also my phone stays pretty cool and battery doesn't drain like crazy. Great job. I'll be staying here for quite some time.
[HTC Rezound] dabomb697:
I haven't done any extensive tests but I can say it's has been working very well for me. I use my phone for work and with the stock battery I couldn't get through a full day without forcing the phone to be on 3g the whole time. Now I can stay on 4g and have plenty left when I get home so I'm satisfied.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I found some reviews on it over in the accessories section. Others were saying it lasts longer than stock but the actual overall lifespan of the battery is very poor. People were reporting battery life becoming worse than stock after 3-4 months. Guess ill just stick to stock and htc extended. This Rom has good battery life anyway
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am looking forward to get thing stabalized so I can start making a Business sense ROM.

Thanks and enjoy
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
I have to say, I don't know what Nils did but this has been the best battery life of all the ICS roms I've tried so far. Excellent work.

Does your battery get hot quickly (within 5-6 minutes of usage)? Mine does.

No, this Rom is the only ics Rom that doesn't drain my battery fast and get too hot

Hey nils, maybe on the next update, could you add the press and hold to go to settings menu in quick settings? For example, press and hold mobile network in quick settings and takes you to the full menu? Not a big deal but I like that feature.

Lock screen app shortcuts

So far I'm loving this ROM. I've used Nils' ROMs on my DInc so this is the first one I tried on my Rezound and I'll be keeping it. Just two minor things I'm missing.

Using the volume button from lock screen to control media (skip forward/back) (thanks for looking into it Nils)

Lock screen app shortcuts. Is there a way to change them? I've scoured the settings and can't find it.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Whatever is on your taskbar are what is on the lockscreen.
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
You could set up the taskbar to show the icons you want in the lockscreen then you can install a launcher like ADW. Setting up the taskbar in ADW will not affect the lockscreen shortcuts that you've already made with the stock launcher.

Awesome! Thanks.

S-OFF

Hey Everyone... Just took on the S-OFF procedure and found success. Word of advice - choose your wire carefully. Initially I used a paperclip and it did not work (at least 20 attempts). One try with a quality speaker cable and it went through perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
Oh, I feel like an idiot lol. I didn't even try those since I just mainly use the shortcut for network to toggle 3g/4g. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
Is it pretty simple? Just run the program and wire trick?
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Yea it's relatively smooth. Recommendations are out there to be patient not to panic and read up on it ahead of time. Good advice. Also having the wire right for me was the key to finally make it work
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I have heard some ppl having sd card issues after s off and a couple others with USB not working as well. Kind of worries me. But I'm going to wait awhile and some research and stuff before I jump on the bandwagon. Unlocked bootloader is enough for now. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Only thing I see so far is that the device in bootloader now say TAMPERED and LOCKED - not sure how that is going to impact things or if I need to - how to fix it.....
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
It can be complicated, but it at least appears that the difficulty is proportionate to the user's experience with flashing stuff. I put an impromptu set of additional instructions up here for those already on the ICS firmware; it would apply to most folks running this ROM on the leaked ICS firmware (hboot 2.21) and not using the firmware patch.

In addition, there's a pretty good FAQ here.

Block out about an hour of time, but some have reported longer. If you've got any sense of rhythm at all, you ought to be able to do the wire trick (and I used an insulated paperclip and got it second try.)
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Just took care of the LOCKED issue by revisiting HTC DEV's process identifier token etc.....
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:

I am still on old firmware just running the patch
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Yea, media buttons would be awesome.

I've had the same problem with lock screen app shortcuts. Whatever shortcuts you have in your Rosie is what's gonna be on the lock screen. In order to delete them, go to your home screen and just long-press and drag them to the recycle bin. Once you have free space in the Rosie, go to the App Drawer and long-press and drag any app you want to the Rosie.

Hey Nils, how can I get the YouTube app to open YouTube links and not chrome. Or also the play store to open play links. I've cleared the defaults and the associations as well.

Don't know what else to do? When I uninstall chrome it opens the browser instead.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The good news is that no one will ever be forced to S-OFF since even if I set up the ROM for just S-OFF the kernel can always be installed in fastboot. My plan is to make 2 versions for awhile until most people are S-OFF. Would be an easier choice if the S-OFF trick did not scare people.

Not sure. I will have to see how the associations really work and maybe get it to work right. I don't thonk they recognize the difference and obviously YouTube does not know how to tell either or it would set them as default.

»»Rezound running BusinessICS 2.3 by Nils««
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Folks

I S-OFF'ed my third Rezound just now and it happens to be my daily driver.

Went a little different with the ICS base then it did with the GB base but in the end I had S-OFF.

The only thing different was after it went thru the beer checking after 3 boots it never said it was OK just said could not find device. Pulled battery, booted to bootloader and had S-OFF

It also never offered to install their hboot so I did it manually in fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
i swear mine seems snappier after the transition. i didn't get the hboot option either and and also did it manually but it didn't stick (at least I don't think it did)and then after that I found i had to renew my unlock status going back to htcdev .... not sure where my hboot status is right now....
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
Nils -

I have your updated ICS v3.4 (not using the patch) on my phone and also performed the S-Off. It worked fine for me and I did get the question asking if I wanted to install the custom HBoot of which, I accepted it. It worked fine for me and I have not seen any issues from my Point of View.

Not trying to nay say you or anything, just wanted to state that it did work for me. S-Off again. Yea. !!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just boot to bootloader and see what it says. If you got theirs installed it will not say tampered and locked

No dis at all. Everyone is hitting one anomaly or the other with the process but it is good to go for most people.

Like I said 2 out of 3 went exactly as expected and the third was funny but worked.
