No, you would need to use a different kernel with it built in. Not sure if snuzzo's latest kernel has it, but some of his archived ones for sure have it.

Version 2.11 Issues

Hi guys, I installed this as soon as it came out. Had to manually install by finding .zip and flashing. No issues there.

Now that I have used it some, I noticed my friendstream app won't recognize any of my accounts on the device and I can't add any, so it is hosed now.

I also lost the flashlight after this install but installing it back manually solved that issue. I still need to wipe my caches daily and reboot, but after I do, I get good performance for the day. This is not a knock, just a point. I realize this is heavy software for this hardware and HTC decided not to put it on this device for a reason. :)

Other than that, I like the ROM very much and appreciate the time and effort expended on it. I wouldn't think of going elsewhere. I just really would like my friendstream app back :)

Will you be updating the tom for the new radios as well as Google upgrades?
[HTC Rezound] ae1990:
What's up Nils. I was on a pacman ROM for quite a while but decided to come back to sense for the much improved camera algorithms and stuff. Like your sense 4 ROM very much but have a quick question. Is there a fix in the pipes for the viewfinder displaying a widened view of the photo when shooting in true 8mp format of 3x4 ratio rather than wide screen 16x9?
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
I just tried receiving a Hangout request from an iPhone user. The hangout request went out fine on her iPhone, but I could not accept the Hangout request on my Rezound (or my Transformer tablet, tbh). Is this a ROM issue? Or, do Hangouts between iOS devices & Android devices fail regularly?

Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
On my tablet, I resolved the issue by reflashing and leaving Talk out of the installation. After installing Hangouts via the Play store, Hangouts works. So, 2 questions:

1. Was there a way to flash this ROM without Talk?

2. Any chance this ROM might be updated to flash without Talk so that we can use Talk's successor: Hangouts?

Thank you! :)

[HTC Rezound] punman:
I got Hangouts on this ROM with no problems. I went to the Play Store on my desktop and installed it remotely from there. It replaced Talk and works fine.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Agreed. Here too. If you go to your computer, click install at play.google.com, then choose your phone. It will download on your phone and replace Talk. When I tried to do it on my phone, it said it was already installed and only gave me the Open option. So do it remotely and all is well.
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
Actually, I did install Hangouts remotely via my PC. Still didn't work. Maybe the difference is that I am S-ON & you guys are S-OFF?

Anyway, I will wipe, reflash & try again.

Thanks,

Install from market and it replaces talk

can anyone tell me what the newest ruu is? i found them all but not sure whats the latest.

[HTC Rezound] punman:
I believe specifically what I had to do was open Play Store (Market) and go to My Apps, go find Talk or Hangouts in the list, it won't be in the "New Updates" section, but it will have the Update button available. Update it here. Then if you still get the old Talk when you open Talk, go to the desktop Play Store and search for Hangouts, and install it remotely from there. That was the trick.

On my tablet I had to do something similar before it finally worked. I think eventually Google is going to make it just auto-magically appear on everyone's device, but if you want to force the issue sooner, some combination of the above steps is what you have to do.
[HTC Rezound] mtown_cyclone:
I had to do something similar to punman
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Funny. Mine showed up in market updates and said it would replace talk and it did.
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
Thanks, guys. Like punman, I had to jump through hoops to get Hangouts working.

I eventually disabled Talk. Rebooted. Did not have an option to initiate the install on the PC, but there was then an 'upgrade' option in the mobile Play store listing for Hangouts.

Not the smoothest upgrade, but it's finally working. Hehe.
[HTC Rezound] eharvey:
Hey NilsP, sorry for the delay getting back on Friendstream, (sigh) crazy right now! I've tried Titanium restores, uninstalls and more restores, signing out and back on, no change in behavior. I think I figured it out after finally getting 10 minutes to think a bit about how this works, but I am not sure what to do. This version 2.11 dropped the Facebook and Twitter for HTC Sense applications. I am pretty sure they are required for Friendstream to work, as it uses those apps and not the native ones. I can't find them anywhere on the device hidden or not, and I can't find the .apks on the internet to drop into the system/apps folder. Any ideas? I thought I would find them in the 2.10 ROM but maybe I just don't know what file names I am looking for.

This 2.11 version is better for me except this little snafu. I find I don't need to wipe my caches as often to get he performance I desire. ttyl
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Both are in both 10 and 11 update on the 3rd or 4th screen of the installer. If you don't select them to install they will get removed from prior installation.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Nils do you have an answer for my question in the thread for the 3.6 ROM???

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41338431&postcount=5535
[HTC Rezound] eharvey:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sure glad I was looking for all kinds of technical solutions when the answer was a simple functional issue. Love it when that happens :(

Anyhow I'm all set now. What I think is most embarrassing about this is that Twitter stopped allowing HTC Peep or Twitter for HTC to authenticate a while ago and I never realized it :) So I got Facebook and Flikr back working in Friendstream, and for me, that method of keeping up on Facebook works best. I'm much more of a consumer on Facebook a than a contributor.

One thing I would suggest, and maybe I just missed it in a hurry, but when you issue updates, maybe spell out that you need to reselect, or not, during installation. I assumed it would recognize and keep my original install options and just update what I had chosen. I didn't realize that I needed to specify my options on those screens. I know it sounds like I am a dilly, but if it happened to me, I bet it also happened to others. :) Take care and once again, thanks for all your hard work and support.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Good suggestion. I have text in the information but after looking at it, it only alludes to the removal of unselected apps.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Is there another download link for 2.10? Seems like goo isn't playing nice on this Rom for me.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:

That's probably a good thing.

Since you asked for it, though, :laugh: I recently noticed that my camera app crashes every 5th photo or so. Gonna wipe the phone clean & re-flash one of these days. Hope that fixes it.

[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I decommissioned my Rezound last week for an S4...
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Lucky you. I can't convince the wife to spend $650 on a new phone when my Rezound works just fine. Albeit slow as heck and I've had to replace quite a few parts over the past year and a half. If only I could get a subsidized phone and not lose unlimited data. How do you like it thus far?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
The biggest driver for me was the desire to have my phone last longer on a charge. I have gotten tired of carrying around 2 extra stock batteries and often having to swap batteries at least once and sometimes twice in a day.

I want to go for an all day motorcycle ride and stream music over Bluetooth to my helmet intercom and not have my phone die before I'm done riding.

I've only had the S4 since Friday, so the jury is still out. It definitely lasts longer than the Rezound. But, I still may end up putting it on CL to trade for a Note 2.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Why not just make a dock and wire in a charging port on your bike? Streaming plus Bluetooth equals one big battery drain and doubt any phone out now or coming out will be able to do what you want.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Well, there are several reasons I don't want to do that. But, also, there are numerous other unrelated scenarios with the same result. I run out of battery when I don't want to hassle with changing batteries and charging multiple batteries that night.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Oh, and streaming music over Bluetooth isn't THAT big a drain. The Rezound will go a pretty good chunk of a day. I'm playing music off my SD card, not streaming it from the Internet.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:

[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:

[HTC Rezound] eharvey:
I am at the point with my Rezound right now that I was at the end of my DINC. I love the phone, love this ROM on it, but it is just to slooooooooooooooow and I can't stand the battery drain knowing there are much better phones out there now. Can't wait for my opportunity to upgrade. The conundrum I can see me having though is that I really like HTC and sense, always have since I came from Win Mobile years ago. I can see HTC has fallen behind, and I am not sure what to do. It won't be that stupid I-thingy I can tell you that, but I am not a Samsung fan either and there phones are kicking major arse right now.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Also you have to realize most newer phone has double or triple the capacity as our battery's have. How long do you think a note 2 or a s4 would last on a battery our size?
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
What's your point? What matters to a user (or should, anyway) is that the N2 and S4 last longer on a battery, while staying thinner than the Rezound. The battery size inside is pretty much irrelevant.

Oh, and the S4 is 2800mAh. Way less than double the Rezound. The N2 is only 3100. That's still less than double the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
Not falling behind in anything but money and advertising. Hopefully the One and its siblings change the former so that the latter can increase and remedy the overall discrepancy. Hardware-wise though I'd rather get the DNA or wait for the One than get the plasticy samsung or really anything else. (my wife has a gs3 that does not impress me in look and feel) HTCs hardware and design is IMO top-notch.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Uhh, also falling behind in market share....

My last 2 phones have been HTC. A Rezound and a Thunderbolt. I thought they were both great phones (despite what a lot of people thought about the Thunderbolt). But, when HTC ditched my needs in favor of making more money for themselves, Google, and Verizon, I looked elsewhere. And now, I like my new S4 way better than my Rezound.

And before you ask, I'll explain. Ditching swappable batteries means most people will replace their phones sooner than they would otherwise, because the batteries do wear out in a year or so. That makes more money for the manufacturers and the carriers. For people who would replace their phone before the battery wears out, it's not an issue, but there is no argument you can make that supports the notion that a non-swappable battery is actually better for the consumers. It's only better for HTC and Verizon.

Leaving out a microSD slot makes more money for Google and Verizon. The Butterfly J is the exact same phone as the DNA, but sold in Japan. And the Butterfly J has the microSD slot. So, there's no technical reason they couldn't have it in the DNA. But, leaving it out means users are forced to do more streaming from the cloud. That lets Google see more of your data, which they can then mine and sell to advertisers. And, since Verizon doesn't offer Unlimited Data any more, it also means that you pay more to Verizon for data. Only offering the phone with 16GB on board also helps with that.

You may not feel any need whatsoever for a swappable battery or a microSD slot. But, you should still recognize that with the DNA and the One, HTC has made a willful decision to put the profits of themselves, Google, and Verizon over the best interests of the phone users.

In the meantime, my S4 now gets me through most days without needing to swap batteries. But, some days, I'll run down a battery and really enjoy swapping another one in and keeping going. And I'll also continue to enjoy the 64gig microSD that is almost full of music and pictures that I was using in my Rezound and is now working great in my S4. :D
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
looks like goo.im is hosed again.. Nils-- did you mirror this anywhere?
[HTC Rezound] morgej:
I am struggling with exactly the same... The HTC software in the form of sense is far and away the best load for a business user. Best email client. Best dialer. Best call control (Ie the ability to see meeting details in the dialer to enter conference codes).

I have been trying out several phones on my att line and aosp ROMs on my rezound.

None compare.

If only HTC had not gone the sealed battery and sealed storage route... deal breakers IMHO. Also not sold on the ultrapixel thing as I like to zoom in on my photos.

Fwiw, the lg g pro is pretty sweet but I am likely to return it for reasons mentioned above

You are grandfathered in with the unlimited data. Talk to tech support directly. Don't let them transfer you. By law, they can't take it back. They try to get away with too much these days. You have to stick to your guns and don't be complacent. Trust me. They try to take it from me. I have 4 lines. Traded many phones. Too many people are letting them get away with it. Stand your ground and write the FCC if necessary. But if you don't let the morons tell you what they think they know (but have no clue), just don't give up. Many state and federal judicial courts said that they can't take it from you. Look it up. Millions have just blindly paid their bill. They have racketeering and mail fraud lawsuits against them. They are over charging their customers. Always get paper bills sent to you. If they overcharge by even one penny, the IRS & USPS can prosecute.

They are stealing from their customers with impunity. I don't let them do it. No one else should either.

Just ask for tier 2 tech support every time you call. And if in 2 minutes, you don't get a satisfactory answer, demand a tech supervisor

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

I talk to HTC. Am partened with them. When I see it I'll believe, but they have been listening. Their charging ports have always been a bad design. Again, always talk directly to tech support. They do say that they have been listening and their will be a major physical design and software change.

I will believe when I see it. I not cheering them on and have nothing to gain. Just an FYI. In fact, I will probably go with a nexus when I switch to att in a few months. These companies make billions from us poor saps. Customers need to stand up for themselves.

And btw, I'm a technical consultant for just about every computer and phone company out there. So I try to do my part. I can talk directly to the CEO for IBM for example. Sony, HP, etc.

I'm just one guy telling them how wrong they are. What I hear back is, "people are paying". Wrong. They take care of me. But it's just wrong. Bad business. Some of these companies, I don't even want to be affiliated with anymore. IBM is still rock solid, but they left the consumer market. I know I'm a little off topic now. But in general, it's not big business screwing the consumer. Been doing it and seeing it too long. From the inside. And they are getting away with more and more and smiling. Right in my face. You want to know why? Because they can. The consumer let's them.

Believe me, I'm not one of those people that creates conspiracies, just been inside too long and have seen millions of hard working people not getting what their hard earned money was supposed to be paying for. .

Sorry. But there it is. From the horses mouth and out the horses butt. And I hope you get what I mean by that :)

OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507

TWRP-2.5.0.0

I updated the latest firmwares/radios/hboot/etc and now I am unable to flash v2.10 with TWRP 2.5, I get to Aroma installer end and it starts and immediately finished. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yes. Don't use TWRP 2.5 to install it. It doesn't work. Either use AmonRA 3.15/3.16 or use an older version of TWRP.
[HTC Rezound] rwideman:
DOH, ok. I was trying CM 10.1 but having issues with it rebooting to the white HTC screen. I will revert to another recovery and try again. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] rwideman:
I have tried TWRP 2.4.4, TWRP 2.4.3, AmonRa 3.16 and same thing. it reboots and gets past the first white HTC screen but then blinks and stops at the white HTC screen.

Here is the package I installed, it has boot.img included in it which I reflashed just in case. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250494&page=4

Could I have a bad boot.img installed? (I think it is the same as the kernel)
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Did you just flash the firmware with one of those specially packaged zip files, or did you go to .12 and let it auto update to the new firmware? I have never used the repackaged firmware zips. Also I am S-OFF. I know that the process is much more involved for S-ON users. I suppose you had to relock and all that.

The data you posted implies that you flashed the firmware correctly as you are on the newest HBOOT and Radios. This ROM should install just fine. If you use AmonRa, it still starts and finishes instantly? I have only had that issue with I used TWRP 2.5.0.0 to try and install. Perhaps someone knows what is going wrong.

Being S-ON, I believe you also have to reboot to HBOOT and flash the boot.img of the ROM as well for it to boot up properly.
[HTC Rezound] rwideman:
I just ran "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it updated all the radios/hboot/etc, flashed/installed admonra/twrp and then flashed/installed the roms and all reboot and freeze at white HTC screen.

All s-off does is allows you to do what I did without using a computer and directly on the phone and bypasses md5/checksum/certificates to install and usually allows unlock to stay.

It seems to not matter what recovery or version of recoveries i use as I get the same result.

I will continue playing with it, I might have to flash back to an earlier radio/firmware to get it to go but then again I would be back on older radio/firmware. Dilemmas.....

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

UPDATE: I went back and locked it, flashed the firmware 2x, then unlocked it. At this point I flashed TWRP and installed CM 10.1 but nogo, even installed AmonRa and CM 10.1 and nogo. I did at this point install Nils Business ICS v2.10 and it is working now. Dont know what is going on with TWRP or CM 10.1 but AmonRa 3.16 and Nils Business ICS 2.10 is working.
