I don't think it necessarily turns anyone against the team, but it could make people not believe in the team as much. Although people on other, regularly supported, ROMs will not have that perception.

It's a shame that Joel keeps promising something for the last 6 months that he has yet to deliver. He even had been uploading something but had troubles with the upload and then it never materialized. Just a couple weeks ago he said he was going to upload a patch that very day and it never happened. I'm new to this whole scene since having gotten my Rez Nov. 2011, and I can see that Joel is a well respected dev in regards to the work he puts out, but as this is only the second custom ROM I've run - and I love it and will continue running it I'm sure - this whole update thing is ridiculous to me. If an update had never been promised that would be one thing, but the constant assurances that one is coming when it still has yet to be done is comical. The only thing more comical is the thanks given to Joel every time he posts any word at all. He could make a post with the word "the" only and he would get at least 10 thanks.

I don't know why I'm going on about it, I find it all quite hilarious. But seriously, all Joel has to do is say he doesn't really expect to put out an update. Why keep teasing? It's gotten so silly by now. Anyway, not trying to offend or anything, just saying... when something is constantly promised over the course of 6 months and never materializes it doesn't look good imho. Whether or not Team Venom cares about it is up to you guys. But I do admit to it being very entertaining for me to come back to this thread and reading about the update situation, so there's that. :)

As others have said, the ROM is great already and it's my DD. My only real issue is that I can't get my contacts into my car and can't connect my phone as a "portable player" to my car so that I can stream audio via BT to it as I used to be able to do on my first Rez running a different ROM (gb). I think I'll finally go back to stock and try to get it going on stock then reflash this ROM and see if that works. If not, hopefully I can get some assistance with that.

And something seems weird with the whole ext SD card thing, can't seem to move apps to SD but I haven't really looked into it yet... not s-off so it's not that... if I need help I'll ask later.

Did you flash a kernel for this ROM? You might need the wifi modules.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I understand your frustration completely(as well as that of other users) but as a kid who just got out of high school myself, I understand where he is coming from. You think you'll have time to work on it on the weekend, and then surprise, you have two chem labs, 75 physics problems, and a calculus theorem to prove all due the next week. I can vouch that he isn't just stringing you guys along, because he has posted in the GSIII forum about holding off on their update until he gets ours finished, as it's long overdue. Sometimes people forget that he is just a high school kid. I know my senior year I wouldn't have been able to do any kind of developing. I didn't have any free time.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I'm not frustrated. As I said I find it entertaining and comical at this point. I was merely pointing that out to nitsuj17 since he posted about it. My point was merely that if you say you're gonna do something then do it or you become the boy who cried wolf. Except on here where the fanboys/girls will keep worshiping your every word. ;)

If Joel's too busy then he's too busy. That's totally fine. Like I and others have said, the ROM is great as is, so no biggie. It's just the empty promises thing that is so funny now. I actually enjoy coming in here just to see if there has actually been an update or not and for Joel sightings and to see how many thanks he gets just for popping in and making another empty promise. Kinda like checking in to see what happened on your favorite reality show.

Thanks for the advice, just to make sure I get it. Flash back to the old ROM. From there, there is a User App folder. Copy that fold to the SD, and re flash Viper? Does the folder need to be renamed?

Joel,

Do you care about typos? :) In the Venom Tweaks in the Misc menu, Picture is misspelled under "Enable Sony Bravia"

It's a good thing when problems found in a ROM are only typos right? :)
[HTC Rezound] QBall45:
This is THE rom of all Rezound roms. At least of the many I've flashed. With a few previously mentioned items getting fixed in the future I can't imagine another rom on my device. The team had done what the oem should have & hasn't. For that I wish to say thank you. Keep up the fantastic work!

Best Sense rom I've ever flashed.

Oh... And ota updates too!

Wow. Just wow!
[HTC Rezound] DaveG1968:
Like a DREAM! By far the best ROM I've ever run, especially for an initial release! Its amazing! Most definitely a daily driver. And the OTA updates make it even more so, because updates are a breeze.

Do we know what kernel is installed with this ROM? I know I was having a ton of battery issues with the 3.14 kernel and they went away when I went back to the 3.13 kernel. I haven't had this ROM on more than a few hours so I can't get a handle on this yet, but was just curious in the event that I switch it out tomorrow.

I think my only complaint for this rom is the target icon as well as the wifi off icon other than that OTA on a rom is the coolest thing I'veever seen I'm gonna have to get into venom kitchen when I get some free time, battery so far has been great and everything has seemed to work fine, good work guys.

Here is a VR theme that will change the battery to a red semi-transparent battery and the WiFi icon to the white WiFi logo.

It will also replace the location and WiFi Off icon to a transparent icon so thy are not visible.

I'll edit the post in a fee and add a screen capture.

Note: will not work with Team Win recovery.
[HTC Rezound] tmach:
While not running it currently, you're right, its a good ROM that probably doesn't need much in the way of updating. Joel probably just got overwhelmed. The XDA rule is never ask for ETAs, it's probably best not to make any without being asked, either. Whatever, people running it are generally happy and that's what matters.

On the note of getting contacts to you car... I've never gotten any Sense 4 ROM to do that. However, if you use a 3.6 ROM (i RUUed back to stock) to transfer contacts and then flash the 4 ROM it'll work. At least, it works that way in a Hyundai Sonata.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Bluetooth car contacts and music streaming work on the sense 4.1 rom out there. They never worked for me on any other sense 4.x rom.

With this phone it has taught me to be patient with updates, look how long it took for us to get ics ota update, thats why i rooted and s-offed my rezound, now i feel like its my phone, a update to me now is putting another rom on my phone. that being said Joelz in this world today u need a good education to get by, this coming from a guy thats had 8 jobs since 2002 to provide for me and my family, take care of your responsibilities first and hobbies second, thanks for the awesome daily driver bud.

Ive been running this rom for about 2 weeks now and I can't find a damn thing wrong with it. Does this rom even need a update????
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Sorry if it sounded harsh in any way, really. Like I said, if you're too busy that's fine, you certainly don't owe us anything. You don't even owe us coming in here saying you're gonna try to work on it either, if you're doing it out of feeling obligated, you don't have to feel that way. Better to just say you have no idea if there will ever be an update. But I'm not angry or frustrated about it or anything, hell, I have a nice ROM on my phone due to you, so thanks! And it is amusing to come in and check the progress, so thanks for that too. :p

[HTC Rezound] zounduser:
For those asking what needs to be done/can be done. The answer is ... A lot. I was running viper on my one xl, and now on my DNA. I flashed this on my rez, and its pretty far behind the other 2 viper roms, that i ran, and am running. When i say far behind, i mean tweaks wise, etc.. itp wouldnt b fair to compare this roms software/base to my DNA, or hoxl. Now, before anyone jumps me for saying theres a lot to do on this. .....i know how busy joel is with school, i went for 2 semesters, before putting it on the back burner, and in those 2 semesters.......i was dead tired all the time, and didnt :have time to sleep! Let alone build, and maintain a rom.

Anyways, honestly.........i would run this as a daily, but i still cant get gsm, straight talk to work. I would b happy with this as is, if my sim worked.

So in closing........i say...........good luck with this joel. I hope u find some time to work on this. And hopefully the gsm/straight talk sim issue will b fixed. :p

[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
Here are the ones that I know of atm. None of them are show stoppers, just minor annoyances when they crop up. It would be cool to have these fixed along with whatever updates you had Joel, but as so many have stated: we are pleased with the rom no matter the update.

I do hope this list helps you out; here it is in no particular order...

Camera: front facing camera size/format. Both in the sense camera app and in the "mirror" app. Skype and others format correctly with it.

Status bar: carrier label cut off after a reboot. Restarting bar from venom tweaks fixes it.

Basic Graphics: occasionally get corruption on home screen. (lines and/or "static") A reboot fixes it until the next time. (This is pretty rare, but it does happen)

Network: on reboot, no network connection until a restart of mobile network. (turn it off and right back on a few seconds after reboot)

Network: in play store, if you update multiple items, set the phone down and let the screen timeout (when one is still downloading afaik), one of the other updates will hang. I believe if it times out when one is installing (i.e. not using the network), everything is ok. Stopping the updates and then restarting them fixes it. Behaves just like a switch from mobile to wifi during any network activity. (perhaps the network blips when the screen goes down?)

NOTE: The carrier label has been mentioned before, and I think I was one that claimed it was not an issue... it wasn't for me at that time long ago, but at some point I rebooted and it showed up. (I rarely do a full reboot unless something like the graphical issue forces me to)
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
Just assume no. There isn't a need to support an old firmware. If someone wants to run the old stuff, they should know how to load whatever is needed to make it work. Supporting multiple firmwares just adds too many test cases.

If there's anything Android themes have taught me, it is that you are absolutely right about design being subjective.

[HTC Rezound] L0$t$0ul:
This has to be the smoothest rom I've used yet for my phone. Awesome work! I too noticed the lag on scrolling in Chrome and I'm happy to hear that an update is coming for that.

I think I might have found another issue though. This is with BlueTooth. I generally pair my car with my phone and with the stock system I could gain access to my address book and hands free dial. When I pair the phone with this rom I get the popup that asks for the permission to access address book but when I attempt to call anyone by name my car can't find anyone. I've tried re-pairing and that did not work so I dropped back to the stock rom and it worked again. It's not a massive issue but it is an issue for me. All other bluetooth functions that I use work great. Just the hands free dialing is not.
[HTC Rezound] ivicask:
Also wait for update, like 99% of framework and libs related to Bluetooth are changed to 4.0.4 base (compared to old 4.0.3 from very old base), so it may fix your problem.
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
I have had this issue with every Sense 4.X based ROM I have tried. No issues with the 3.X stuff. I doubt an update will fix this unless someone specifically tries to fix it. Try dialing by number without trying to dial by name. That works for me. The other thing that has worked for me is to install a 3.6 ROM and let the car pull the address book. Then after installing the 4.X ROM refuse the car access to the address book after connecting BT (mine prompts once for BT and again for address book).
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
I know that this was fixable by replacing Bluetooth services app with an older one. Its buried in either this thread or newts xxx thread.
