I ran XxX for a few weeks while waiting for Nils 4.0 to get BT straightened out.

I think that Newt's XxX has more "features" in that it has a more robust tweak set, however, to be perfectly honest, I prefer Nils' ROM because: (1) It's much more consistently themed/styled than Newt's which just felt a little rough at spots; (2) It provides all the customization I require; (3) Everything works on it, including some other mods such as Google Now; (4) The developer is incredibly responsive.

I have admired Newt's work since his Incredible days; but he's got other stuff on his plate and can't always move things ahead. I don't think there's a more responsive dev on xda than Nils. His ROMs feel like he made them for me.

Just one person's opinion; no slight to anyone else intended.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I pretty much agree with what hgoldner said. I was using One XxX for quite some time (RLS 1 then RLS 3.2.1), but to be honest things got less stable as the RLS progressed. There were lots of little things, such as the menu capacitive button not working in the browser, the camera being off, volume+ making certain setting menus FC, being unable to change the font size, that made the ROM feel buggy. Nil's is a little plainer in terms of tweaks, but outside of that the ROM is just much more polished than Newt's is right now. None of those problems in Newt's are an absolute deal breaker, but I liked the overall feeling of Nils' better. It's up to you in the end, but I suggest you give this one a try.
[HTC Rezound] xbox4414:
Got it, thanks. Now odly one of the notification tones is not in the ROM and I have no idea where it came from. Any way to pull it off the phone somehow?
[HTC Rezound] mcdanielvzw:
Awesome, just did hgoldner's upgrade suggestion to wipe all, install ROM, and restore data from a nandroid and it worked flawlessly from 2.4-2.6. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Absolutely. I do that all the time. In fact, before I flash any ROM, I pull the zip apart and put my own ringtones, alarms, notifications and boot animation in. I keep my source files as zips on Dropbox (and on my 64g card) so I can do it wherever I am when I download the ROM.

Maybe I'm a little OCD (and I'm certainly a control freak), but Iike to explore the goodies in other phones and ROMs and pull what I like into mine.

Are you a lawyer, i don't see what's the big deal of asking, don't you like to use the rom? So, i'd like to use it too, just bried slower, we will have a stroke that way.

Hey, i just asked him not to forget me, i didn't ask him if he already did it or when will he do it, so that way the one who's being rude is you, and that yes, is break the rules.

Everybody has the right to ask for help and if there's someone who can complain, that's Nils. So mind your own business.

Good to know you didn't forget it, that's just what i was asking for, thank you.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
They're just trying to tell you that it's the same thing as asking "are we there yet?" Devs are "working" for free. They usually get quite enough of that aggravation from their supervisors or clients. They don't need it here (and it's no fun for the rest of us to watch.)

And yes, I am a lawyer (although I wasn't the one who first raised this).

[HTC Rezound] fazbarulho:
For a lawyer, you really read quite bad, and you shouldn't put words in my speech, i haven't write "are we there yet?", you did, and yes, it was you who raised this, all i did was a request, i've been reading thousands of request and i've never seen you interfeering on none.

One more time i say, if there's someone who can complain it's Nils, not you.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Faz, we are trying to point out to you that your interactions with Devs are likely to irritate them and likely will result in your NOT getting what you need. You can ignore this feedback, and it seems you usually do, or you can think about it. Your choice, but if I were the Dev, it would get old....
[HTC Rezound] spc_hicks09:
Not sure if this has been covered but I have redownloaded and reflashed this ROM 3 times now. Wiping data, cache and Dalvik every time. No matter what I've done, I can't get any of the Business Sense options to change anything. I'll set the clock to centered, nothing, reboot, still nothing. Wipe cache and Dalvik, nothing lol. Anyone got suggestion?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
My guess is you're picking the tabbed quicksettings pulldown. That breaks battery and clock settings in Business Tweaks. If you want those tweaks, flash the regular pulldown settings.

Sorry...should have included that. I'm s-on but installed the .12 ruu before installing this rom originally. 2.4 was fine for me but something corrupted installing 2.6. I'll follow Nils advice to full wipe again in the few days if nothing else works.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
I just updated to 2.6. Simply a fantastic build...another fantastic build. Sure, personally for me A2DP will be icing on the cake but no worries. It rocks as is.

Challenge

I am trying to get the OTA Updater function working but ran into a problem with the OTA Updater not getting permissions to execute a "reboot recovery".

I can get the update to show as available on the phone, the download works but it will not reboot to recovery when I select Install.

After some help from the dev we came to the conclusion that it is the reboot binary not getting permissions in the program. I can get reboot to work from the PC via ADB, I can get it to work in recovery but it will not work in terminal on the phone.

In a terminal on the phone try the following and see if you get it to work.

su
reboot recovery[/CODE"Not permitted" is the issue.

I have tried everything with no luck so far.

At the point I have reboot to recovery working everywhere but terminal and OTA.

ROM Manager, APM, ADB, Quickboot and other reboot apps from market all work. If I can get it working in a terminal we are good to go.

So, I am looking for anyone to help me fix this since I have tinkered with Busybox, Toolbox, permissions, and symlinks to no avail.
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
faz.. the build.prop changes you are doing are not for sense 4 ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I have been trying to piece together the ones that work on Sense 4 but not getting anywhere. Do you know what they should be?
[HTC Rezound] fazbarulho:
I really think they are the same, but it seems that there is something more to be changed, because everything works less data, that just dont connect, the same as other rom i tested, but i dont know what to do and i just dont care anymore, the best i will do is to sell Thais crap and buy other phone
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I see where your going but the first problem is that the reboot binary will not run due to not getting root permissions even though the OTA gets it. I have to concentrate on reboot since that is what the dev is using for OTA. Other root level binaries work in terminal and scripts so I am real confused with this.

The Rezound is not the only device having problems with reboot with the OTA app and since other programs like APM and ROM Manager are able to force the reboot then there must be a better way to do it that is not being used by the OTA, I am hoping right now the OTA dev finds a different way to force the reboot like others have.
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
since this ROM is based on ville. I think we need to edit some different values in build.prop like the ones we changed in pkmn or newt!!

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Nils. I see some sense 4 ROMs have below build.prop values.

ro.telephony.default_network=1

ro.product.rat=GSM only
[HTC Rezound] fazbarulho:
I've tried that too and the same, data just wont connect.

This are the configs of a Sense 4 gsm rom

Default network type.

# 4 => GSM only preferred.

ro.telephony.default_network=1

ro.product.rat=GSM only

OTA-Updater UPDATE:

The dev for OTA-Updater fixed the reboot problem by switching to executing it through Power Manager and it works great.

New problem, the updater download puts the file on the internal SDCARD and CWM can't see it. Gonna try it with AmonRa now (I use CWM recovery)
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Even if you set Rom Manager to Use External Storage in Settings?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Has nothing to do with RM. It is what the OTA-Updater is sending to Recovery. I just tried it with AmonRa and the same results.

Working with dev to maybe add an external SDCARD option for the Rezound
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Interesting thread. Seems to suggest why Reboot Manager had trouble running on my Rezound.

[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
yes.. I also tried that few days back and did not get data working. Looks something else ( apks or build.prop changes ) also need to modified /replaced along with those.

Has there been any news on google now? No pushing, just curious.

Hey Nil, great rom! Is there any way to change the overscroll glow from red to green? Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Thanks guys, I took a look at this thread and downloaded the Mikey6 apk but I can't find where the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk is in the files so I can change it to .bak so it will actually install the apk.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I think you have to also install the zip via recovery.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I can make CWM see it but it would be another thing to download and update...
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
It's an apk though.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
You should probably ask in the Google Now thread, lots of info and answers there. There's a flashable zip AND an apk. If you've never installed it before, you'll need the flashable zip.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Can you get CWM install from the internal?

The only problem is if you can then AmonRa still does not work so everyone wanting to use OTA would have to be on CWM. Unless it is a change in the ROM and not in CWM.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
You need to read the instructions. You're following the instructions for an ARM6 device. The Rezound is ARM7.

Running this Rom for a few days and I love it. It's fantastic, the only concern I have is that it's really laggy and takes a long time to open apps and even scrolling thru the screens. I am running apex launcher with it. I thought maybe that was the problem so I uninstalled apex, wiped data, cache and d cache. It was still laggy without apex. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to continue running this Rom.

I came from the HTC Incredible and that was simple to me. I was overwhelmed with the Rezound options and they kept changing. This is a list of a lot of links. It is overwhelming. I just kept reading until it started making sense to me. Eventually I took the leap and S-Off'd and it really wasn't that hard. But you have to trust yourself. So my advice is to take your time...Nils is a great Dev and this Rom rocks! Good Luck! :)

I have noticed one other thing. The camera just doesn't work all the time. I will go to take a pic and nothing will happen when I press the shutter button. I know that I cannot take a pic when in video mode. But I'm trying to take a regular pic.

It's not all the time tho. It does happen every time. But sometimes I can get one or two pics in before it won't work anymore.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I never have that problem but you can try turning off face detection
[HTC Rezound] PearlMikeJam:
I have seen this on multiple ROMs. My unprofessional opinion is that it is related to the SD Card or media scanning, but that is just a guess. I usually can get it to take pics if it reads my card or phone storage and determines how much room is available for pics. If that does not register, then it usually will not take a picture.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Hmmmm ok. I will take a look. But I know that I have 27gb left on my sd card. I just thought it was odd that it happens intermittently. Thanks for you help :)

I'm having troubles with the music player, The player is not showing all my music. The interface seems way more cumbersome then the music player in the sense 3.6 rom.

I can see all my music on my sd card when I search either by PC or astro, but when looking at music w/ player, it doesn't show all my music.

Didn't have this with Nil's 3.6 rom.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a third party Music player that works well with this rom?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] docbutts:
I use poweramp. It's worth a few bucks for it. Plays any file type, and sounds great. I use it every day on this rom with no problems. Turn beats off though within the app, stick with the global beats.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
+1, tried a lot of music apps and always come back to Poweramp! And, of course, Play music for the cloud content, which finally has a lock screen widget :)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
How many songs are on your sdcard? Mine sees it all but I only have about 100
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Maybe it's just me, but I found that several apps that had been installed on Sense 3.6 then "reinstalled" either via App2zip or other than the market (i.e., via Titanium or other workaround) would force close on Sense 4.0, requiring a full uninstall and reinstall. Poweramp (which is also my preferred music player) was one such app.

Everything that I have reinstalled via market has behaved normally. (And the same goes for those apps via Amazon marketplace).

And on a completely different front; looks like we have a new firmware. I'm already seeing mentions of mainver errors again; my guess is that anyone who flashes the new firmware will need to stick with stock until the devs can integrate the changes, cf. Nils offering a "patch" from Gingerbread firmware. (Unless you are S-OFF).
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I only have around 60 or so songs on my SD card. The stock player will play the songs when shuffle is on. I just cant scroll down and play just a specific song because 70% +/- songs are not listed when Im in "song view"
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This install fixes the mainver during install. So if you flash the new firmware you should be fine installing this.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Think I'll hold off on the new firmware for a few days; GSM doesn't do anything for me. I WOULD like to test drive the new radio though. Hmmmm.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I need 6 testers for the new XDA OTA Updater application See app here

Need 3 on GB firmware and 3 on ICS firmware using CWM, AmonRa, and TWRP Recoveries to see if this works.

I on on ICS firmware and it fails for me not finding the zip file on the Internal SD Card with CWM and AmonRa recoveries. I am working with the dev to download to the external but I just want to make sure it is not just my phone.

If it works all it will do is install the Arrowless Keyboard for a test. If it fails, no harm and nothing changes.

Please tell me pass or fail, the error, and what firmware and recovery you are using. S-OFF or S-ON does not matter.

Install the patch in recovery and when it reboots you should see a notification that an update is available. Or you can just go into the OTA Updater app in the app drawer.

Thanks

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:

I suspect it may work on GB firmware
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Did you just pull the radio out and fastboot install it? in other words how did you install it.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Is the Firmware download that dsb posted the update only, or is it the .12OTA and the update? I would like to try the new firmware/radios, but don't know if I need the entire OTA, or can just extract them from the update.
[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
Used this terminal emulator:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

before trying the init command, did a manual

su -

Also getting "not permitted!" when trying

su -c reboot

Found an external link and in the comments section, someone posts

I can confirm that the following works:

su -c "busybox reboot -f"
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Pretty much the same results.

What does the -c switch do?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
In the OTA Update thread, somebody posted a link containing a PH98IMG with just the radio files in it. I did it in Hboot.

BTW, I tried your OTA mod in TWRP, and it failed. TWRP tried, but said it couldn't locate it.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks and thanks.

I think that confirms no internal in recovery on ICS

P.S. What did you think of the ota? Worth implementing when fixed?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Yes definitely! It's such a cool idea.
[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
su -c "busybox reboot -f"

-c executes whatever command follows. busybox with the -f option (force reboot, bypass init) does the reboot.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks. Understood the -f just never used the -c
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
NVM. I am officially a dufus. Was trying to do it while in motion without reading glasses (which means I can't read the Amon Ra screen.) First time didn't work (principally because when the phone rebooted to Amon Ra, I assumed it had already flashed it, so I rebooted the ROM).

Second time, I flashed zip from internal_sd where it had been loaded to \OTA-Updater\download. When I rebooted, changed input from Swiftkey to HTC and lo' and behold, the arrows are gone.

However, I find that switching keyboards is much slower than previously. There is a noticeable delay before the switch options appear. Bottom line, however, is that the OTA process WORKED.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
You on GB firmware?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
It sounds like he manually flashed the zip file that was downloaded by the OTA intsaller app. I think Nils is trying to see if it automatically installs the zip when you boot to recovery...without any interaction.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Even manually should not have worked on ICS from what I can tell. If it is moved to the external then it will flash fine on any firmware.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Can't download the vvm fix in post 3 keeps trying to download a .bin rule on the phone.

[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nope, ICS. In fact, this is my second Rezound. Within hours of taking it out of the box, I ran the ICS RUU (full), then Juopunut's S-OFF, then Amon Ra, then loaded your ROM (a few Sense 4 versions ago).

I've flashed several of your updates, both as flashovers and as fresh installs since and not once referred to the GB "patch."

Are you saying it's supposed to "automatically" do the reboots into recovery, flash and reboot to ROM? That would surprise me.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yes, when you hit download it should download then offer to install. Click install and see if it reboots and installs
