I think one of the HTC skins on the Rom has a black clock.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
LOL yup everybody just loves Nils' big black clock... :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Been plagued with this all my life HaHa

Slow Mo Movie mode

Nils

You may already know this but when you select slow motion video and start the camera the camera app just shuts down. I have noticed this in all of your releases with Sense 4.0

why is there an option to update to the latest firmware now? what version is it? also, whenever i reboot i lose certain settings. my keyboard for example

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

is there a digital battery that works with this rom?

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

can't send pics lately. how come?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
1. You can't update the firmware from Nils' Business ICS Sense 4.0 ROM; that's done via flashing a RUU or zip file in hboot, and there are dozens of threads in the various Rezound forums covering that. The latest firmware version is 4.03.605.2. I can't explain why you lose settings on reboot.

2. Business tweaks provides for a digital battery, provided you did not opt for the "tabbed" quicksettings. The two are mutually exclusive. If you want Business Tweaks to control the battery and clock in the notification bar, you need to flash the conventional quicksettings. If you want tabbed quicksettings, you can't have digital battery. Not yet, at any rate.

3. Can't send pics HOW? You mean you can't send MMS pics? You can't upload them? Could you clarify?

Don't want to troll, and it's not my thread, but you really could use that search function that xda provides from time to time. It just might help.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Just did the newest firmware up date. 4.03.xxx and was gonna do a fresh install. There was an option in aroma to install the latest firmware. That is why it was confusing.....trying to send mms just sits there. When I reboot it is almost like everything resets and I have to reconfigure some things. Very strange

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Btw. I use chomp. Also try with the built in message app. Been just since this latest Rom all this has happened.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is not the firmware. It is the patch for the firmware you are on. Same with the kernel if you are s-on or off
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Sorry for the many posts. Keep leaving stuff out. But I am s-off, unlocked and up to date. When I saw the option to update the firmware and couldn't uncheck it, I just ended up doing a nand restore. The software version doesn't have the new numbers. I have the 2.22xx radio though

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

So should I check it? Cuz the other option is the patch. I don't mind starting over. Did the nand restore cuz I wasn't sure

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Cuz I just did the latest firmware update. Don't want it to get overwritten

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Also, nothing rings. Texts don't ring. Etc. Been all through the phone. Everything should be good
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
The "patch" referred to is for those on Gingerbread BEFORE the ICS firmware patch. You are two versions of firmware BEYOND Gingerbread so DON'T flash that patch. BTW, I would be interested in how you fare once you get the ROM settled in as a "fresh" install post 2.x radios. I flashed the RUU myself, then Nandroid restored this ROM.

Was pretty solid for the first few days, then discovered sdcard wasn't mounting on reboot; then started getting reboots when BT started up, and other "gotcha's" and eventually decided to roll back to a Sense 3.6 ROM until Nils can get this ROM updated.

It occurs to me that a fresh install rather than a Nandroid might not have had these issues, but I'm not sure. I'd be interested in your experience.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Yes. Unsure. That option kind of threw me. I always like to flush and fill. But if you try it, there are 2 options with no escape. Don't want to write over my 2 hours or so worth of work. Still have the new radio, but the software version doesn't match up. I will gladly do a flush and fill, but I don't want to wipe out what I did. Need nils to tell me more about that option
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Don't know about anyone else, but I've become quite methodical in flashing. First thing I do is make sure that flashing won't erase internal sdcard. Second thing I do is open the zip of the ROM and pull out what I don't want (Friendstream; Footprints; VVM, etc., which doesn't necessarily apply to this ROM because Nils has moved a lot of that bloat to the Aroma launcher). Third thing I do is put my own notification, alarm, ringtones and boot animations in the zip file.

Next I create a flashable zip of Titanium and make sure its settings are backed up. Then I make a flashable zip of all my apps (using app2zip) except those that are going to be in the ROM anyway, or those I was planning on ditching, or still ambivalent about).

I do a factory reset; wipe cache and dalvik, even though factory reset should do that, flash the ROM, then flash Titanium. Upon restart, I don't set anything up if I can avoid it and get to Titanium to restore the prior Android ID. (Mostly I do this because of Google Play Music's current limitations on # devices you can de-authorize, and I have 14K+ tunes in that cloud now). That reboots the device. I make sure the ROM boots, then return to recovery and flash the zip file with the applications. All in all, from "final nandroid" on the prior ROM to "first boot" with everything installed is usually less than an hour.

On subsequent iterations of ROMs, i.e. 2.6 to 2.7 or whatever, sometimes all I do is restore the Nandroid \data partition and that gets me going in even less time.

All in all, it makes for much less trepidation in moving around between ROMs. I might even go back to Boot Manager but I don't want to spare the space on my internal sdcard, and I get tired of waiting for Exchange to reload 1700+ contacts.

Not entirely responsive to you, but shorter version would be "better to do take longer to do it right than do it wrong quickly."
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
If your s off and on the latest firmware all you have to select is the ROM for s-off and no patch
[HTC Rezound] punman:
You again... I'm sorry, your experiences have always been completely weird with problems NO ONE else has.

I don't know what you've done to your phone, man, but I'm not sure anyone here can help you. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
ok. but why the option to update the firmware? cuz i just used the latest. is it just a paper selection? meaning harmless?

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

also, i couldn't unselect the firmware option. that's the confusing part

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

just trying to update. done it countless times with many phones. don't know. i usually help others. believe it or not.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
I'm pretty sure Nils said this, but the ROM flash does not have a firmware option, just a firmware PATCH that you don't need.

Maybe take a picture with another device of your Aroma screen and post it?
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
why can't i even get into recovery now? at all!
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
You may want to run an RUU and reflash. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
i just ran the latest. wiped everything. did a nand restore. probably shouldn't have done the restore
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
What happens when you try to go into recovery. and nothing is greyed out just some of the text is lighter than others
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Why, oh, why would you do a restore of a nandroid of a borked install? :confused:

Don't answer that; it's a rhetorical question.

Here's what you *should* have done if your install was already borked:

1. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS in the OP (the opening post of the thread). Your posts suggest a less than facile command of English; nothing personal, but you've got to READ and UNDERSTAND everything before you do things. Unfortunately, XDA is an English-centric site and technobabble is difficult to translate.

2. Backup third party application data and make sure the backups are also on your sdcard2 (your removable card) somewhere just in case. That means backup of the data WITHIN THE APPLICATION, e.g. NoteEverything; ToMarket; AppFolders; MoreIcons, and any other application with an internal mechanism to backup its data. Also, make sure Titanium's settings are safely backed up.

3. Make sure the ROM, with md5 verified, is on your removable sdcard and your recovery is intact. (I think you said you were S-OFF; you *are* running Amon Ra recovery, right? No other recovery will do. If you're running TWRP or CWM, there are known issues. If you aren't, go flash Amon Ra right now and then come back).

4. Reboot to recovery; factory reset; wipe cache; wipe dalvik.

5. Flash the ROM, when the Aroma dialogue comes up DO NOT SELECT THE FIRMWARE PATCH. (You are already 2 versions past Gingerbread if you're on the 4.03.605.2 firmware).

6. Pick whatever else you want from the ROM, you don't need to flash the kernel as though you're S-ON, the installer will flash it for you.

7. Boot the ROM, set up your Google account, restore your applications in the marketplace, then use Titanium to selectively restore APP data, NOT SYSTEM DATA, to make sure nothing breaks. If something does, remove and reinstall that app without data.

8. Restore the external data from the third party apps.

You must be meticulous. You have to be a little OCD and do things in order and carefully. Doing one thing out of order (e.g., leaving a PH98IMG on the sdcard and rebooting to bootloader) can make things, shall we say, interesting.

We all take for granted that this stuff is easy because we do it so often and so many times (Nils says he flashes a new ROM almost daily), but you've got to be careful and take your time. If you don't understand something, DON'T DO IT until you do.

Sorry if I'm shrill, and sorry if I appear to be hijacking NilsP's attempt to help you, but Punman's right, and you've really got to get a better picture on what you're doing. You say you help lots of folks out, but with <30 thanks, that would suggest you're more of a noob. We were all there, believe me, but, we're trying to help here so kindly pay attention.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I like your style Man!

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
check again. it's there alright

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

there was no recovery at all. just booted into the rom when i selected recovery
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:
Did you re-install Amon Ra after doing the RUU?
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
the thing is is that i did all that. i saw a post to restore a nand. so i tried that. then i tried a full flush and fill. the file system seems to be the trouble. you have sdcard2, sdcard, ext-sd, can't get anything to find what it needs. i go into the apps and se them up to go to just the sdcard. i used a seperate sdcard to update the firmware. so i basically already did what you're saying here. more than 5 times. it's a screwy file system. tell me how that all works and i will figure it out

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

i'm using 2.6. there are 2 firmware options: latest firmware or "the patch" . can't deselect either. so i have to pick the the newest version. no other choice. using amon 3.15.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

you have to unerstand that i speak english very well and understand more of the language than anyone i know. i keep saying that i have done all the instructions. this is probably my 30th phone. i'm saying that it is something with the file system. i''m missing one little thing maybe. just flushed and filled again. backed up internal and external to pc and wiped everything. getting old. ........why don't you try reinstalling 2.6 and see what i mean? there is an option to back out

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

had to adb it again. it's there now
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That's correct. Only 2 choices for firmware, either old or new. If you are on the ICS RUU then the default is your choice. If you are on GB firmware then the old is your choice. Select one and it deselects the other.

Not sure how to make it clearer in the installer or the directions in post 2
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Okay, let's try this again. The Rezound has 2 "drives" called sdcard. The "internal drive" called sdcard or \mnt\sdcard and the external (removable) drive which is as large as whatever microSD card you put in the slot under the battery, and that's sdcard2 or \mnt\sdcard2 or even \mnt\sdcard\ext_sd.

Most applications see the INTERNAL sdcard as the "removable storage." (On other phones, such as the Incredible, this was called \emmc, and the system and most apps understood it was NOT sdcard-type storage. Many apps DO NOT let you change where they store their information from sdcard to sdcard2. I can list literally dozens of apps with this limitation, and only a handful that will let you override it, such as MyBackupPro, Titanium, and a few others. Most times, when I am about to flash a new ROM, I copy everything from sdcard to sdcard2 (or hard drive) just so I can put things back after I flash.

Amon Ra will flash from EITHER sdcard or sdcard2, but it will only write Nandroids TO sdcard2, so far as I know. Hboot/bootloader will ONLY flash PH98IMG.ZIP from sdcard2. (There may be advanced fastboot or adb commands that look at the internal memory, but they're irrelevant right now).

I'm guessing that you are getting confused where you are putting stuff, whether it's sdcard or sdcard2 and may even have things in both locations that are crossed up. And I'm not even considering the possibility that your sdcard2 has issues, defective sectors, etc. That's why a few of us have suggested you literally wipe everything back to a RUU and meticulously rebuild, flashing hboot, flashing recovery, then flashing a ROM.

I cannot possibly imagine how if you've had 30 phones this can be a problem unless there's something physically wrong with your phone and/or your sdcard2.

And on that note, I think I've pretty well exhausted my level of expertise (and certainly my patience), and wish you good luck getting things straightened out.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
But there is the rub. Sdcard2 is a sub of the sdcard . Ext-sd is also a subfolder under the sdcard. .I use TI. Use es file explorer. Just seems like data gets scattered .
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Data does get scattered depending on how the app works.

You however have control of where you put things by making sure it is on sdcard2. If it is difficult on the phone take the card out and load it up on your pc with an adapter. That way you know where it is

On the other hand, your post had nothing to do with my post you quoted on firmware
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
Does anyone know how to get backup assistant and media dock apk working on this? I extracted both apk's and pasted them into system/app but they won't work
[HTC Rezound] docbutts:
I don't know if this helps anyone but I thought I'd throw in my experience with bugs and/or new firmware update.

I have a relatively new rezound that has only run this rom. S-on, HTC unlocked. Saw all this talk of new hboot and radio, so I did a factory reset, wiped cache, dalvik, etc for good measure, relocked, flashed the newest Ruu, then did a fresh install of this rom. Did a nandroid before hand just to be safe, but didn't use it.

With a fresh install, I am having absolutely no issues with data loss, even the new google maps update works perfectly. It seems to me that most of these issues are coming from conflicting app data. I'm no dev, just thought I'd share what I've seen so far. If I'm way off the mark here, I apologize. Also apologize for the long post.

Lastly, so far with the new firmware, battery life seems a bit better, and much less heat issues.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Exactly my findings.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
First off, I wanna say great work with this. Nils I ran your 3.6 and now this, I really appreciate your hard work and dedication thank you. That being said, I noticed when I switch to Aosp lockscreen my phone randomly powers off. Doesn't happen on sense lockscreen. I was wondering am I the only one experiencing this or not. Again thank you.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
I would also like to see the dock app in a future release, if possible.

Hey Nils, any luck on the kindle problem?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Seems better now. Formatted the card from the phone instead of the pc. And the internal memory from amon. Lot of work. So far. Its been worth it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The firmware update to 4.3 has saved many dropped calls.

Still cant find a digital battery.. Did the no tab option. Not there
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
Google Now

I've been running GN for a few days now on this ROM and I have a question/request. I just made some changes in the system.jar per this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30368133&postcount=4384

I was wondering if GN could be included in the next update with these changes or if it is something that could be added as an Aroma option. Business ICS and Google Now are working pretty good together so far.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
This is a user who actually read the OP and/or enough information to make sensible choices. Thank you.

also, Maps doesn't crash on Sense 4 ROMs that anyone has found, that I know of. Just 3.6. And it's widespread with the normal Rezound firmware. I just cleanly installed ICS Business Sense 5.7 (sense 3.6) and on a fresh/clean/wiped install, Maps rebooted the phone right away. Google Maps has an update to make and/or HTC does. No sense4 ROM I've had has had the issue.

This ROM is incredibly clean. Best Sense4 ROM out there, IMO. Thank you NilsP.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Just went into settings and then about. It appears I don't have the same firmware. I installed the 4. xxx.2 ..... Which is the latest. So is it just the rom reporting a different version?
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
If you look at the baseband you can see what radios you have. Most of the other version numbers are read from the build.prop of the rom you are running (except kernel). Hboot will show what firmware you really have.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
We all take for granted that this stuff is easy because we do it so often and so many times (Nils says he flashes a new ROM almost daily), but you've got to be careful and take our time. If you don't understand something, DON'T DO IT until you do.

What version of google now are you using? Mine isnt working right. I only occasionally get cards and when I go to show cards it freezes.
[HTC Rezound] netjetman:
Jones'in

This is not in any way a complaint, whine, etc at all and is only mean to be a compliment to Nils.....

I'm jonesin' for a new build! I find myself checking a couple of times a day looking to try a new one!

Nils, I hope you are enjoying the last of summer, and I can't wait untli the next release!

[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I'm using the latest, I think it's M7. Plus I made the changes to system.jar. I only have weather cards set for in the morning and I get those. I have traffic turned off because the location stuff eats battery and I don't live in a city but when I had it turned on I got the cards. Appointment cards work. I'm not getting sports cards even though I ask for the Braves score a few times a day to try to "train" it. It responds well and I get a verbal response to most requests. I can even set appointments on my calendar now if I go through the Assistant app. Also, it auto launches navigation now which was a problem on previous versions.
[HTC Rezound] kevinvu34:
so, I've searched but wanted to know for sure or not if there has been a fix for the unread text message count yet...it shows up in the notification bar that I have unread text but it doesn't show on many unread text I have on the message icon itself...thanks for helping in any ways
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
No and to be honest it is very low on my priority list right now since it shows up everwhere else
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Had it ever done that? I don't even remember that from stock.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I think it should show new but not unread. That is what mail does anyway.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I can actually check, I'm about to flash the latest RUU once I back my phone up (having finally a couple hours to myself on a weekend) and I'll verify it behaves like this. Mostly interested for my own sanity, heh ... I don't remember it doing this.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Good idea. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] punman:
OK ... there's a count on the icon if you have one on the screen, if you have one on the launcher bar, and if you have it on the lock screen. There is no count on the notification icon, but if you pull down it says "2 unread messages" or whatever.

Just verified on straight stock RUU just flashed ... now gonna get this crap off my phone and Nils' back on it.

I never notice because I use Elixir2 Widgets for that stuff, and the counts work fine there. :)
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
?

Don't we need to wait until Nils releases his update before we can use the current released Kernel? I thought that's why people are moving back to stock during the wait.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Uh, I hope not ... I searched through the thread and saw a couple responses of people who just flashed the latest update, then this ROM on top of it, and it worked fine. I specifically made sure to check that, heh ... I hope I didn't miss something.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The modified latest kernel for sense 4 will work but it breaks video. He is still trying to fix that. If you flash the ruu then this rom it goes back to my kernel.

The latest radio works fine.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
So your kernel works fine other than video (don't care about that) ... ? That's what I thought I read ...
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Video work with my kernel.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Has anyone tried vinylfreaks kernel with old firmware?

Running it now with video fix on latest firmware and seems okay. Time will tell.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Yeah everything is fine. Dunno what all the trepidation is about with new firmware & this ROM. I was due for a cleanup and fresh install anyway, something got horked last week with languages... (Don't ask, I can't speak slovakian and Swype seemed to think I could) All better now!

Nils,

I'm running the Vinyl kernel and Turboprop v4 on the latest Hboot and firmware, and everything is GREAT.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks. Pretty much my findings also.

If I get some feedback on the kernel with old firmware I can decide if I will include it with the ROM or make it an Aroma option.

That is assuming vinyl approves me doing that.
