I installed vinyl's kernel today. I'm S-Off, new firmware, and your V2.6 Rom. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks for all your work.

Jeff
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Depending on how he's got the zip packaged, you may flash the zip in recovery, it'll place the PH98 file on the root of the external card and boot you to the bootloader to flash. I've seen that a couple of times lately. I know his installation instructions state the kernel is s-on friendly.
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
Yep that's what I thought too , and ur right. Running it now

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Nils , I'm old firmware and running the kernel now . All the basics seem to be fine. But phone seems hot "120", may be because I'm using it so much, will give more info as time goes on .
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks. Keep me posted.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Scratch that.

I woke up this morning and realized I had nothing to do and that sucked. Since I love deving so much I am going to continue even if I am the only user HaHa

To put things in perspective, over the last 2 days there was only 6 downloads which led me to believe there was no more interest so why expend the effort. Just frustrating to go from hundereds or even thousands a day to virtually none.

I got thinking about it and that is still more than when I first started. I started doing this for myself many years ago and felt it was good enough to make available to others. So, I will continue to do it for myself and as I add or improve things I will post it.

Thanks for your support

Nils
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
No more interest? I can't speak for others, but this is my favorite rom for my Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Glad to see you back. I for one like your style. Actually I have this as my phone Rom in boot manager

Same here and there's not many bugs so not much to post about lol
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Glad to hear you will still be around! Your rom was the first I flashed and it impressed the hell out of me. I jump around to other rom frequently. Bad habit from OG Droid days, and just like to explore. However, I will always flash anything you are gracious enough to put out! Thanks for everything!
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Nils, glad to hear this decision. Speaking for myself. I love your work and think you are a huge asset to this community. I can say that I love to run your Rom and am waiting for all the dust (from all the recent developments) to settle before I flashed yours again. I am on the Simplistic Global release from Neo now and it's good but I miss your Sense 4! Thanks again for sticking with us!

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] HarleyChick:
Nils, so glad you're sticking around. Yours is only one of 3 ROM's that I run regularly, and I'd hate to see it end. Thanks for taking a second look.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Awesome sir, you are an amazing dev and person. If someone doesnt give you credit for your work, let me know I will hunt them down and punch them in the face! I also sent you a hex edited version of vinylfreaks patched 2.27 hboot. It says NilsP. You dont have to use it, but it's a gift of appreciation.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
Welcome back! I'm glad it was a short lived departure and I apologize to everyone for jumping to conclusions. Bad Roy, down boy!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Whew

Nils - Please do not think you are the only one using your ROM. You have a lot of loyal followers. Lack of downloads can be chalked up to nothing more than the fact that the ROMs, AS RELEASED, do not work with Global, or with the new Kernel. Your 3.6 ROM, which I am a fan of, also can't run the current Maps as a result. I wouldn't really expect people to download the current ROMs, but I suspect you are going to see pretty good numbers when you release your ROMs that use the current kernel and radio. PLEASE let THOSE numbers be your guide, and I suspect you will see we all love your ROMs.

Glad you are back.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I'm running it on the new kernel and radios right now, didn't want to flash a new ROM just for that:D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Me to
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
^^ What he said ^^. Whew! I feel better. Besides missing Nils' work, my next thought was "whose ROM is going to be my daily driver now?"
[HTC Rezound] docbutts:
Phew! I was afraid I was going to have to find a new rom... Glad to hear you're back Nils, keep up the good work!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to jwjohnson for the donation

Much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
Nils, its great that you decided to stay, i went to sleep with knots in my stomach last night.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I was certainly sad to hear that this was the end of the Business Sense ROM. It's the only ROM I use because it works. I looked over the other ROMs last night and every one has some little issue which is a show stopper for me. Especially the AOSP and AOKP versions...so Nils, I'm glad you decided to keep it rolling. It was a reminder to me to find some time to start doing some of this on my own because you just never know when your favorite developer might hang it up.

pfew.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Good to have you back, Nils. As you can probably tell, this community needs you.

Thanks for not giving up on us.
[HTC Rezound] DownRiver_Droid:
Love your roms Nils. I always have a nandroid on my card to flash back to. Can't wait for global business Rom. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
I think folks/myself need to remind Nils just how much his work is loved and appreciated. It's a big dang deal to me. Thank you for everything you do and your quest for perfection.
[HTC Rezound] poormatt:
Can Smartsync be disabled on this Rom ?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
And thanks for the donation.

Much appreciated

Obviously I figured out you id
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I think yes in sync settings
[HTC Rezound] spin0ut:
Almost went without my 2 fav developers. Bored is away for personal reasons and Nils almost went. Needless to say my phone almost got traded in. Once again thanks for hanging in there bud!
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
If Nils can get the Kindle app problem resolved, this ROM will be about as perfect as can be. :fingers-crossed:

I like Business ICS Sense better than Viper, and I'm glad development will continue.

My phone is running much cooler with TurboProp v4 and Vinyl's kernel, though I'm not sure which is more responsible. I installed them within minutes of one-another.

Can't wait to see how things develop once you guys get source.

Again, thanks for sticking with us Nils. :highfive:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Still trying but logcat is not helping me.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
You'd be missed if you left, seriously. No one else puts out de-bloated and lightly themed ROMs with very few bells and whistles and little or no flashy things. I just want a simple ROM and you provide that, perfectly. :)
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
Welcome back!
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
Does opening the app drawer lag for anyone?
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
I think I remember reading joel say that front facing camera issue is due to either the base or framework, can't remember which. It's solvable, but it could take some time as a rebase/framework update would be required.
[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
has anyone tested this rom with gsm patch to see if it works?

BTW, if I am already s-off, do I need to unlock again because it says so in the instruction but I was always able to flash to diff rom without having the need to unlock it again.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
once you're off you never need to unlock. only locking would be done if desired depending on what you're accomplishing as far as stock and such
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Correct the instructions say to do that if you do the RUU
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Maybe a second if that. But it does refresh the drawer when you open to see if you installed anything new.

Could be.

If I don't get the bt and data arrows working I may rebase anyway so we will see.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Yes
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I use SwiftKey keyboard and you can adjust haptic feedback as well as long press duration on it, which is a great feature. I love the look of Nils' black keyboard but I have never found a better one then SwiftKey.
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
nope in fact i think it's significantly better than 3.6
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Any idea how to get Facebook for HTC sense to work? I can upload photos directly to specific folders with it... Miss that
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
w00t! This is getting better all the time!

Tweaks!!! :D
[HTC Rezound] Tired of the Bull:
NilsP, if you rebase will you use the The Droid Incredible 4G?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
More than likely but have not given up yet.
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
Not saying it's not possible, but from what Joel specifically told me when I asked if BT could be fixed or patched on Evita(or whatever base he was using), he said no. Said that a newer rebase is pretty much required to get BT working. Good luck.
[HTC Rezound] thelunchboxosu:
When you say "rebase" you mean rebase this ROM for the Rezound off of the Inc 4g build, or you mean move to deving for the Inc 4g?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It means using a ROM designed for a different device such as the Inc 4g and making it work on the Rezound
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I'm looking forward to what you have in store, rebase or not. I'm also in the crowd that needs BT to work, otherwise I would love to run this ROM.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am also.

I miss the BT Phone in my car now that I am using the aux jack for the phone. Not to big a deal since I listen to audio books on my phone in the car with the aux jack anyway.

Funny part is BT Media works but my car does not have the media profile.
[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Any 3g/4g switching issues? Seems a little slow in that, but its not an issue I haven't had with other ROMS either, Does it get better as it settles? I may try to other radio.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Seems fine to me on latest radio. I very rarely drop to 3g anyway
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
When I read your departure post last night, I just stared blankly at the tv for about half an hour, as if I had just got a phone call and had lost a loved one. Your s4 is one of 2 roms I run regularly, and I can now sleep again, knowing it will be supported, and possibly updated when needed.

Thanks for returning.
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
I downloaded the new radio and firmware from the firmware thread, 8-12 with 2.27 h boot. I flashed them then rebooted and installed the new maps update, it still rebooted after minute of using it. The system info still shows me on the 3.14.605.10 which is what 5.5 is based off of.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Glad you are back man! Love everything about your Roms and run them all the time. This last s4 Rom is the only one I run anymore. Best response of any of them.
[HTC Rezound] winston856:
Glad you're still going to support it! Love your roms. Still on 5.5 running great!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Don't go by downloads alone

You know, Nils, you can't have steak for dinner every night. ;) (OK, might be nice, but only for a while). Sometimes folks try out different ROMs just to get the look and feel of what else is out there. I hit some strangeness after upgrading firmware and decided to try a few other ROMs to see what was out there until you put out 2.7, but just like on the Incredible, I have almost always returned to one of your ROMs as a base, and I always have a Nandroid of one of your ROMs available on my sdcard just in case.

And, of course, the "strangeness" probably had nothing to do with your ROM, but some of us just have to flash something. It's a sickness. Hello, my name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.... :o
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Ha ha, I've been running your Sense 4 ROM since you released it! I was so sad to see the thread locked...now super happy!
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I probably would have to admit to that as well! :)

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] titusseid:
Have a drink on me hope this helps a little to show you just how much we appreciate all your hard work in our behalf.

Usb debugging doesn't stay on with the video fix kernel
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Pretty much my thoughts as well. Just because there is a cutting edge hack out there, doesn't mean everyone wants to jump in quite yet. I like full functionality and stability because the Rezound is my daily. I was using this and ConROM V6 exclusively after the ICS GR, but was really waiting for 2.7 to stay on this (waiting for some of that same strangeness to be ironed out). Con left for another device, and others are leaving as well. That's part of the game, but the Rezound was really starting to pi$$ me off because it is such a great device and got jerked around by HTC and Verizon. Things had just started to look up with S-OFF, ICS GR and AOSP getting done but when I read this thread this morning I thought there is no saving this device and I better find me a daily that I have no expectations of longer term releases to. I feel just a little better now. Welcome back Nils!
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
My sentiments exactly.

I've not left NilsP...I'm using his Sense 3.6 ROM until he gets the Kindle bug worked out. I'm hoping too that talk of an encouraging kernel will improve the battery life of the Sense 4.0 ROM for me.

Actually...if he got Beats working as well on 3.6 as he does on this one...I'd stick with 3.6...;)
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I'm very happy you're staying Nils. There's no other developer who compares in the level of polished ROMs they put out plus the support they provide for them. I'm really looking forward to flashing v2.7 or the next 3.6 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
enough with the Kindle bug, every other post of yours is about this damn Kindle bug.

we get it and Nils gets it doug, there is a bug with the Kindle app. no need to shove it down our throats and his throat every time you post.

and Nils, don't quit, I like making fun of you :p
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Interesting timing for me to jump on this rom with the recent activities.. Just wanted to add my thanks- I used your rom on the inc- and this is my first go on the rezound. Decided to try it after some annoying issues with another unnamed sense 4 rom.. Anyways- been running it all morning and as expected it's rock solid- my bugs from other rom are gone.. Only one thing to report, sry if this is known but I did search and didn't see anything. Twice when I've rebooted I've been stuck at white htc screen until battery pull, then it comes up fine.. Not the end of the world- but odd.
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
Oh man. Just now reading what has transpired and and am so happy you decided to stay Nils... I just re-did the download so you could see one more added to the tally... ;) I think you have not seen many downloads because all is quiet right now, with no updates. all 2K of us have it already, we are just waiting for the next thing you drop. Those numbers will jump again and you will know how my we really DO appreciate your dedication to this Rom and your others. I have said it before but here it is again.

Thank you. Very very much.
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
Pardon me?

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time I've posted about the "Kindle bug." As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if I posted much more than a half dozen times in this thread.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks to both of you.

Very much appreciated

Nils
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
awsome! im sure i speak for alot of us when i say im glad youve changed your mind. there are alot of us that will keep using your roms as long as you keep building them.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Thanks alk1946 for the donatiin

Very much appreciated
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Question? Do I flash this after I flash your Rom? :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
That's what I did and everything is ok
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I flashed that kernel on this ROM and saw not so good battery life in comparison to the one in this ROM. I'll wait for the next version of this and do a clean install with the new kernel if it already isn't included.
[HTC Rezound] damanddd:
I can not attach a file in the mail app with out the app crashing. Has anyone experienced this yet?
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Anyone know of a kernel that works?
[HTC Rezound] dachef3184:
I've had good results with vinlyfreaks sense 4
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Yes. But USB debugging doesn't stick. Do you have a definitive link?
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
What are you asking? Nils' stock kernel works just fine.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
This kernel is working great for me too, no problems at all.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
Been using vinlyfreaks kernel. Can't get USB debugging to stay checked
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I wuv you nils :)
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I believe you might have mentioned that.

I ran the vinylfreak kernel for two days, but never used the USB debugging in those two days so I cannot confirm this. I went back to the kernel supplied with this ROM because my battery life was much much better. I'm blaming it on the dirty flashing. Next release I will do a clean flash.
[HTC Rezound] v941726:
I ended up just reflashing Nils 2.6 . Back to normal. Whew
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
Glad you reconsidered - I think a lot of what you saw with the downloads is more in part due to people daily driving your ROM's and being happy with them than anything else. I think that should speak volumes for how well done your ROM's are and I hope to be able to load up your next update when you get it completed!

- Steve
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
Glad to see you sticking around, Nils. I've been a fan of your since you came out with Business Sense for the Incredible a couple of years back. I've been running Scott's CleanROM 4.1 for the past several months (which shows how often I flash, I'm definitely in the "daily driver" club) and finally decided over the past couple of weeks to get around to S-offing my Rezound and going to your ROM. I've been following the development threads but haven't made the time till now, and I was quite dismayed to see you "retiring" a day before I was ready to pull the trigger. If you had pulled your ROMs, I probably would have just stuck with what I have for a while longer since you're the only dev I trust to have a stable ROM. For me, stability wins over cutting edge every time. Looking forward to joining the Nils club again.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I was running this ROM and loved every bit of it. The only thing I could not get a workaround to was the fact that it always connected to wifi, I could not get it to turn off and even if I did turn it off, it would turn itself on and connect again. This is a little problem, as I work in a school that has ton of blocks on their network, I can't even access my email while on their network.

My question, is there a way to get the camera from this rom to my phone now? I am s on and running conrom for now. Is there an apk that can be flashed or somthing? If there is a workaround for the wifi I will flash your rom again in a heartbeat :)

Thanks

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

I really love your ROM for my rezound. All your work is so greatly appreciated :)
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
Been running the sense 4 kernel on old firmware since Sunday. Have experienced no malfunctions. But battery life doesn't seem any better, if anything it's a little worse ,. Bench test is 6225 if that matters.
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
I've been having that same problem on all of Scott's CleanROMs too. It was common to a lot of the ROMs based on the leaks. Is it a problem with this one too, or is this just an isolated case? I hadn't seen anyone else mention it in this thread.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Under WiFi settings, click menu, Advanced. Check/uncheck the appropriate boxes, and your WiFi troubles will be a thing of the past.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yeah, that should do it. I had taken another trigger out a long time ago that also triggered it so the WiFi settings alone should fix it.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
What's this talk of you leaving the dev scene mister?! I won't allow it, you must stay cuz I would misses yah! Stick around and see what you can do with ICS source. :)

PS: I didn't run anything but business 3.6 up to a few months ago when starting to dev myself. ;)
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I miss a week because of a death in the family and I see tons of posts about Nil's leaving, WTF?:(

I would be lost without you my friend, No One has helped this dumb ass more then you Nil's I could not ever thank you enough for everything you have helped me with.

Im glad you have reconsidered.

After two years of running your your rom's on my Dinc and a year on the rezound, I couldnt be without that Nil's splash screen on bootup.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Did someone say there was something you could flash to get rid of the annoying WiFi notification, that is up whenever you have WiFi on, that says there are networks available?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
You could read the post about 4 above yours...
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Nils I think we are itching, and the itching is burning.
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
OK good. That trigger must still be in the really old version of CleanROM which I will be ditching for yours this afternoon. Wish me luck... I've never run into anything I couldn't do on any of my phones, but the S-Off thread was full of conflicting information to say the least so hopefully I can keep my streak intact.

I don't mean to hijack your thread Nils, but since the end goal is that I'll be S-Off and running your Business Sense 4.0 ROM when I'm all done, let me see if I have this straight.

***EDITED HERE - PLEASE DISREGARD MY EARLIER QUESTIONS PRE-EDIT***

Currently I'm S-On, HTCDev unlocked, AmonRA recovery, running Scott's CleanROM 4.1 with HBOOT 2.21 after doing the ICS firmware upgrade from back in March. I seem to be getting conflicting information about if I can run ControlBear with the latest stock leak. Can someone verify that ControlBear will work with 3.14.605.10? Or, even easier, has anyone successfully S-Offed directly from CleanROM 4.1?
[HTC Rezound] answerman:
OK, never mind. I found my S-Off answer in the S-Off thread of all places (imagine that!) Looks like the latest version (3.14.605.12) will work fine.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
LOL, guess that's why they call you the answerman.

I got S-OFF with the May ICS update; ran the August RUU (twice now, the second time apparently curing the sdcard failure to mount, which I had misattributed to a flashover of this ROM), and have flashed about 3 different late-model hboots (stock 2.27, vinylfreak's 2.27 and jbear's latest hboot) without any issues.

The rest of my current set up is as per below in the signature. Current meaning until I get the urge to flash again, possibly moments from now.
[HTC Rezound] hungsolow:
I don't understand for the life of me why some of you are on OLD GB or leaked ICS firmware, hboots, radios, etc when OFFICIAL ICS of the aforementioned has BEEN out now via OTA and posted on every Rezound forum on the internet... they say ignorance is bliss but it that HAS to ONLY apply to the ignorant.
[HTC Rezound] mcdanielvzw:
Nils, thanks to all your work I can see keeping this phone for years to come (or switching to another phone if you upgrade to another HTC phone :D). All the updates you have included have made the Rezound so much more productive for me - that combined with the impeccable stability your ROMs have always had for me make you one of the best developers I have ever known! I'm running 2.6 and I always keep your thread open in my firefox so I can check it!
