UpDaTe!! BOOM!

2.8 is OUT!

Changelog modified. Here is a copy of it. You guys enjoy the rom MEOW!

INFECTION-2.8 GCC-4.9:

****A CLEAN FLASH IS REQUIRED*********

*First ever for the HTC Rezound to be built off of a completely optimized GCC version 4.9!! (Thanks for the toolchain sparksco!)

*Latest Funky Kernel built off sparksco's optimized gcc! (thanks Snuzzo for the Kernel! Thanks sparksco for the toolchain!)

*Proximity Sensor Fixed! (Thanks Flyhalf!) (fixes "black screen before/after call" problem) This can be changed and tweaked in the beta integrated Advanced Options (NOTE: Some options broken for now)

*Advanced Options as listed above!

*Switched Calendar to Google Calendar and placed in /data instead of /system. This should help with some users having sync or FC issues.

*Rom is even smoother than before with even less lag.

*Better Battery Life.

-Neo
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
That.... that.. <_<

*Proximity Sensor Fixed! (Thanks Flyhalf!) (fixes "black screen before/after call" problem)
[HTC Rezound] calvinb1:
Sweet... downloading!
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
YES!! gonna download 2.8 at once!
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
Funny you should mention that. I never had a problem with the proximity sensor on my Rez, with ANY rom, including infection. However, on my first flash of 2.7, my screen wouldn't turn on for me to end a call. Proximity sensor came to mind, and I download a test app (forgot the name), and it failed. Was about to download Chad's proximity sensor app & decided to reboot. That resulted in a bootloop, and I was forced to reflash because I didn't have a backup yet. After I reflashed, the proximity sensor was fine! Weird.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I have made the switch to ClockWorkMod Touch Version 6.0.3.2 as it is a much better recovery than Ra, allows for more options, and is much more stable. I am also beginning to suspect as others are, that Ra is the reason for the boot issues we've been having. I have tried sending my phone into a boot loop today with CWM and it hasn't happened yet... I will be sure to scream out if it does happen though.
[HTC Rezound] monzerelli:
Put the hammer down lol
[HTC Rezound] bbgreen:
Even the download is fast!!!!!
[HTC Rezound] lancasterv3:
do you feel cwm is better than twrp as far as stability and the loop issue i just want the best recovery in your opinion to flash this? thanks for 2.8 i cant wait to test drive this bad boy!

Hmm.. maybe I'll give it a flash before flashing 2.8. Thanks!

[HTC Rezound] wiredwrx:
Is there an easy way to flash CWM without data loss. Sorry, still a noob about most of this stuff.
[HTC Rezound] dplane:
hmmmm i noticed there are 2 zips in the CWM Touch thread OP. Are they the same thing? They have the same size at least. Just wanna make sure I d flash the correct one.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Just download and flash in HBOOT or extract recovery.img and flash in fastboot. You won't lose your data

One is the classic recovery style. It isn't touch base.... The other file is a touch version....
[HTC Rezound] dplane:
ah okay cool. :o Any reason to (not) flash one over the other?
[HTC Rezound] epsilonomega:
Can't wait to give 2.8 a try when I get home tonight .

Sent from my Infected Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
anyway infection 2.8 is not compatible with kernel tuner. the phone stayed at the HTC logo. have to re-install the ROM and find an app to replace kernel tuner.
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
I'm downloading the CWM Touch version now. Hope my phone likes it!
[HTC Rezound] gleggie:
Interesting, I had bootloops on 2.6 and 2.7 but not 2.5 and so far not in 2.8. I was using TWRP, but for the next releases I will experiment with CWM
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
So you had the bootloops while on TWRP?
[HTC Rezound] soonercpa:
I've got twrp and had the bootloop a couple of times on 2.5, but never on 2.6. Never did flash 2.7.
[HTC Rezound] gleggie:
Yes, but only on 2.6 and 2.7, never on 2.5

Gonna try CWM Touch for future ROMs, though I used TWRP on 2.8 and I'm on like my 6 or 7th reboot with no problems so far. Great ROM as always
[HTC Rezound] Lazy8:
I haven't flashed 2.8 yet...will tonight..but in all the time I've been on infection I haven't had the bootloop yet (knock on wood)

I flashed to cwm touch 6.0.3.1 but I can't find 6.0.3.2 anywhere even cwm site. I must be blind! wth?

Thanks again Neo for an awesome ROM
[HTC Rezound] ChuckZv2:
Which is the best recovery to use at the moment with this rom?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1960460&d=1368501640
[HTC Rezound] Lazy8:
Cool! thanks for the spoon feed :) I tried a search but couldn't find a link
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Got it directly from the source via hangouts today :D
[HTC Rezound] javaguy216:


Neo,

What are your thoughts regarding TWRP?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Past two updates I had ra as my recovery and no boot loops. I had twrp before that and no issues.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Whoever is on 2.8, please try to tether wirelessly natively. Mine isn't working... If it's not working for you while it was working on the previous 2.7 build, I will revert to that kernel (which is the same kernel only compiled with linaro gcc 4.7)
[HTC Rezound] motenak:
Never used anything but ra on my phone and haven't had any of the problems described.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Im on XenonHD and Standalone FunkyBean 3.5. Interestingly broken ....

Hmmmm......
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
So maybe it isn't the gcc it built with.

Fastboot flashed 3.4 funky kernel bundled with Infection 2.7 and got wireless tethering working.

Guys for now until I can pull the 2.8 release tomorrow, if you need to wireless tether, fastboot flash the funky kernel 3.4 from the previous build.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I'm testing FB3.5 with Linaro 13.05 4.7.4 GCC. Will reply and confirm in a moment.
[HTC Rezound] jtio21:
Got stuck on a bootloop today on 2.7 but I am up visiting the fam so their is no way for me to flash the boot.img is their any flashable boot image or no.
[HTC Rezound] shaels:
Whoa

Just flashed 2.8, wiped System/Data/Cache/Dalvik before doing so. On first boot, I went through Setup and then something wild happened. All of my apps began to automatically download - this has never happened to me before! - is this a new benefit of this release? Also, I noted the option to restore Nova settings. What risk is associated with that? (e.g. - FCs, random reboots, etc)

This is pure #awesomeness.

Thanks, Neo!
[HTC Rezound] misterpogs:
Lol awesome. It just means you left the option to restore data checked. I always restore nova settings without issues, but sometimes it's fun to set it all up again.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Ooooo and wouldn't you know it. I invoked the reboot bootloop issue by dun dun dun ....

Using fastboot boot while on XenonHD.
[HTC Rezound] Lazy8:
I don't have time to try out 2.8 tonight...looks like there might be another update in the near future if tether is broken so I might hold off a bit..sent a donation all the same because I've been on infection a long time... :)
[HTC Rezound] Damacy:
I have an s-on rezound with 2.7 and twrp recovery at the moment. I have backed up the different kernels in ph98 formats and will also swap over to CWM touch for the recovery and let you know how it all goes.
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
I can't tell the difference between 2.7 and 2.8 because they're both so fast but hopefully we won't have to start over for the wifi tether fix. Thanks neo!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Switched back to Flyhalf 6/10 CM10.1 build.

Using Sabermod 4.8.2 GCC or patched Linaro 13.05 4.8.1 GCC -Native wifi tether works
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
Why you breaking my ROM, lol
[HTC Rezound] shaels:
Sweet. This release is blazing fast.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
So confirmed native WiFi tethering broken on Funky 3.5
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Confirmed; native tethering works on FunkyBean 3.5 when paired with Flyhalfs CM10 build.
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
Interesting, wonder what's different. Did you try it on today's version or was it the previous version? Dunno if it would matter any
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Strange.. You said it was broken on XenonHD as well.. When I flashed the previous boot.img on this current rom release however, I get perfect working native wireless tethering.
[HTC Rezound] squish72:
well after flashing 2.8 i had my fingers crossed that it would fix my voice mail problem so i tried it before i restored any of my stuff, still didnt work. I then started searching around again and came across a verizon employe saying that every once in a while their system goes crazy and automatically sets up call forwarding. got on my account and sure as hell thats where the problem was!

BTW thanks for keeping our "old" phones soo dang fresh and fast
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
That is a negative ghost rider native tethering is working for me on 2.8 funky 3.5.
[HTC Rezound] Damacy:
Learn from my mistakes and don't try to flash the 2.7 kernel with 2.8! 2.8 is more snappy compared to 2.7, and I am a religious apex user and even with that it is phenomenal. I also went and restored my personal apps with TiBu and stuck with avoiding the system apps and have had no issues so far.
[HTC Rezound] sped_13:
I like the easter egg BTW ....lol
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
How in the heck do you guys see written texts in the stock SMS app lol?

.

Edit...nm, I really did need my glasses tonight.
[HTC Rezound] Quadman:
I can't install themes in settings on 2.8. Unfortunately settings has stopped. Everything else in settings works.Any ideas???
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Mines not working ....
[HTC Rezound] Avasta:
Clean Flash

I know this is a n00b question, but how do you perform a clean flash using a rooted s-on rezound? I am using Amon Ra 3.15. I seemed to get 2.7 installed and working but I think it was just beginners luck. Can anyone please post a detailed install method. I believe it would be helpful to have this moved to the FAQ post(#2 I think). Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Just wipe data,system, dalvic cache,and cache. Then flash your ROM. Then beings you're s on reboot straight in to hboot and flash the boot.img . which you will need to extract the boot.IMG from the ROM prior to flashing. That's all I do. Pretty simple cut and dry.
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
Yep. Mine isn't working either. Just logged on here to see if others were having the same problem lol.

Sent from my Infected Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Weird my native tethering is working fine. Guess it proves once again not all devices handles the same ROM equally.
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
If you fastboot boot recovery, (instead of fastboot flash) you don't have to flash the boot image. Basically when you boot the recovery it gives recovery the ability to write everything and essentially makes you s-off temporarily. I'm still s-on and never flash a rom any other way.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
What exactly is wrong with using the 2.7 kernel on 2.8? They're both the same preset max clock frequencies and scheduler?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Please ensure that you are in fact on the 2.8 kernel by going into the about section on your phone.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Ye of little faith Lil
[HTC Rezound] tompdillon:
I believe google restore started working in 2.8.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I normally leave it out of my builds actually :D I only recently decided to start leaving it in
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
Actually this also happened for me in 2.7 but it didn't in 2.8. Not sure if it's something I did or if Neo is having fun at our expense. God knows he's earned that right.
[HTC Rezound] thelunchboxosu:
Native tether works for me but only using an unsecured network.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
lol depends on the version you run. Developer edition won't have it.

Good to know! I probably should have rephrased my question last night to indicate wether or not users had it working as wpa2 secured.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I might be onto something with this reboot issue. I can actually invoke it and replicate, I just hope its not a totally different issue altogether. For now, if preparing to flash a different kernel, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Boot back into the rom. Then reboot back into recovery and flash.

It has something to do with battery stats and fastboot flashing.
[HTC Rezound] Teamster671:
I've noticed that before both bootloops, the battery level showed 0% even though it was around 90%
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I'm s-off and rarely ever fastboot flash a kernel. The bootloops happened to me at random whenever I would restart my phone. Could be fine for weeks and then one day, BAM

BTW I sent you a hangouts message this morning. Don't be a hater meow
[HTC Rezound] tompdillon:
I like it in there, if for no other reason it restores my wifi hotspot passwords.
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
since Funky kernel 3.5 does not get along with kernel tuner ( loses cpu1 and bootloop at HTC LOGO), i flashed Funky 3.3.5 ove infection 2.8. now kernel tuner works fine. but maybe not so smooth as stock 2.8 kernel i think.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Don't know what you did but this 2.8 runs cool when charging and even while tethering. Data seems more stable than I had on 2.7.
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
2.8 is much smoother. it can be easily felt!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I knew it! Ok guys, this is something to watch for now. If you see this, find a way to plug/unplug from a charger. This will recreate batterystats.bin. Even better, if you do notice this check data/system for the file. Confirm and reply if its there. [MENTION=5209216]Luke1213[/MENTION]

What do you need Kernel Tuner for?

[MENTION=4203241]IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo[/MENTION]

Busy morning, and I always show online no matter what.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Are you tethering secured or open network?
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
actually i find it hard to find another app to replace it. i do underclock, undervolt, MP-decision, turn off button light, set GPU frequency and set scheduler, etc. which app is now compatible with your latest Funky kernel? thank you for answering.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Open network as where I live no one tries to connect.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Okay cool. I was hoping you would say that :)

So it appears that only an open network will work with the funky 3.5 kernel on AOSP roms. Snuzzo, can you confirm this?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Everything you listed there

could potentially be set with initd which I've been wanting to work on but very little time in the day.

I'll reply again, results may vary since I'm primarily using Mint14 now and very rarely boot Win7.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
Holy Crap!! I haven't checked this thread for couple weeks (Or has it been longer?) and Infection is at 2.8?!?!?! It seems like I just installed 2.5! Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on... and a need to mutate the Infection my phone has.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Still running the Flyhalf cm10 6/10 build

WPA & WPA2 Works
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
What Kernel was used in 2.7?
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
You're pumping out releases too quickly!!! I can barely keep up with flashing.
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
i am using initd script in the kernel tuner.. i mean, kernel tuner creates something in the /system/etc/initd
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Save them and modify them without using kernel tuner. You might get better results.
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
yeah that's what i have imagined. i will try and report ASAP.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Seriously dude?

Going to brunch with flyhalf's aosp kernel today. If it proves to allow wireless tethering "secured" on this rom release while being compiled with the optimized 4.8 GCC, then it is a problem with funky kernel 3.5.

I will be report back with my results.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Funky Kernel 3.4 release compiled 4.7 linaro gcc
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
How is it a problem with FB3.5 when I can tether just fine without any other changes made to the kernel source? Only thing I CANNOT DO is bluetooth tether. Thats the only issue ive found.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Could just be simply that your kernel does not agree with the saber 4.8 gcc. We will find out once I compile Flyhalf's kernel on that same gcc today.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
I can't even get native tether to work unsecured. I have it on "open" network. I can see the network through my wireless devices but it still shows that a password is needed. Any help?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Fastboot flash the boot.img from the 2.7 release of this rom and all will work perfect again. it is the 3.4 FB kernel release.

With 3.5, mine will recognize the network, attempt to connect to it, try to verify info, but never establish a connection. Then repeats the process endlessly. Then, if you disable your hotspot, it still remains active as other wifi devices still see it as an active network. I remember seeing this exact problem when we first got JB AOSP.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Brunched with both(Linaro 13.05 & Sabermod) and confirmed working on my end with both.
[HTC Rezound] Damacy:
So from all of this kernel talk, I should install FB 3.4? I have a quick question Neo, when you first released the voice activated camera, I could keep taking pictures with the trigger words, but now it just snaps 1 picture and then I have to select voice activated again. Is there a way to keep it at the voice activated mode?
[HTC Rezound] oakley470:
Wi-Fi tether didn't work for me either on 2.8. I flashed cwm prior to flashing 2.8, got everything up and before installing any apps tried Wi-Fi tether with no luck just as you say neo. So I rebooted hoping it'd fix it and I bootlooped. So I can confirm cwm did not stop the random reboot bootloops.
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
So are you saying simply a quick plug in before turning off the phone should prevent bootloops? Is there a way to get a batterystats.bin somewhere so we can just make sure it's always there before shut down? Sometimes I shut down my phone because the battery needs to be switched.... Plugging in would defeat that purpose?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Can't source a copy because each devices would be different. Unsure what to tell you, dont use it as much? Should be able to go at least 10hrs on a full battery with 3hrs screen on if you have the device properly setup. Also ....

For Neo...
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Flashing FunkyBean 3.4 from Infection 2.7 fixed my tethering issues.
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
I've never been close to 10 hours. I flash the ROM as is, but I managed to find 2 backup batteries and a battery charger on amazon for cheap... So I've never worried about battery life. Would my own batterystats.bin work? Like could I copy it somewhere? Otherwise, where is it.... At least I could check before I shut down... Make sure it's there or find a charger.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
You can make a copy of it to your SD card if you wish, but make sure you have the proper permissions set

chown 1000.1000

chmod 600 /data/system/batterystats.bin

Will need to make your /data partition as writable as well to the app you are using.

Not 100% certain this will work.
[HTC Rezound] Quadman:
Anybody having issues with themes? Also tried calling my wife this morning and my screen went black. I couldn't get it to come back on and finally removed the battery .
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Adjust your proximity sensor settings, I believe it's built into the rom now.
[HTC Rezound] syikho:
Here's a weird issue, decided to install CWM Touch on 2.7, booted into ROM just fine. Loaded recovery tried to install 2.8 no errors on install. Rebooted phone then it gets stuck at a bootloop on the splash screen. Tried to reinstall 2.7 same issue. Tried going back to RA 3.15 won't boot to recovery. The only ROM I can boot into is a stock rooted ROM. I am S-off and currently have root but can't figure this one out. I also installed recovery via fastboot. Has me stumped.
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
Hit download from the left hand side. I used apk 3.2. I had to reboot a few times but eventually got everything working.

Phones: HTC Rezound (current) | HTC Droid Incredible
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Done. Version 2.3 is live. Foxed voice search force closing, Google now issue, and contacts force closing.

Let me know if there are anymore issues :)

If it weren't for the old Google now being installed in the system folder, I'd say a dirty flash works suffice. If you do not or do not know how to first delete the old Google now from the system/app folder, then you will need to clean flash the zip.

Sorry for the inconvenience

[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
I have the same issue on 2.1 of this ROM (haven't updated yet). Its almost like an echo when I talk. I don't think the other person hears it when I'm talking.

[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
OK Neo. Figured out my issue is caused by noise cancelling mic on the bottom of the phone being partially covered by my case silicone. Cut bigger hole no issue. But when anything covers that area it squeals. Seems that sensitivity for mic is too....well, sensitive. Any ideas to tweak it would be great.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I know why this is happening I believe and will work on it today
[HTC Rezound] wiredwrx:
Saw mention of the Google Backup restoring AP and Passwords and the like on the new 2.8. I like that. Tried to set it up on 2.5 (Ya ya, I am lagging, but this might make it a worthwhile change, since I can backup Nova Settings and restore it in 2.8 and now the APs and Passwords) But, when I go to backup&resset in settings, and checkBack Up My Data, I am unable to click "Backup Account" which remains as "No account is currently storing backed up date" Sometimes it remains greyed out, others no matter how much I click it, nothing happens. I also went to Accounts and clicked Google, and checked App Data, but I don't see anything abut APs and PWords (I sync contacts with my exchange server)

Any ideas. Is this a "fix permissions" situation?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Update

Ok so.. I had Snuzzo send me FB 3.5 kernel that he compiled on Saber Mod's 4.8 gcc and tethering works just fine.. I guess there is a problem in how it compiles with the rom on my build system? Snuzzo, did you compile this with rom or separate from the rom?

Going to use this fixed version instead of the 3.5 version in my build that has the broken tether. Also going to address the voice shutter thing in camera also.

Thanks Snuzzo for helping me determine that it isn't the rom, gcc, or kernel and that it's just Neo
