Yes, but those are for minor updates. When there are major changes to a ROM, common sense is to not be lazy and do a clean install so you don't come back complaining about bugs that other people don't have.

P.S. you should definitely try Neos ROMs.

[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
The reason some ROMs can get away with OTAs and some require clean flash is that if you are just updating from a build that is a few days old, then your base framework (all the underlying system code that determines what features the OS has) is probably going to be roughly the same. Therefore, you won't have any compatibility problems. But within a month's time, which is about how long Neo does between ROM releases, a LOT can change in the underlying system code. Look at review.cyanogenmod.org or http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#ville/cm10.1/next some time if you don't believe me.

Dirty flashing is kind of like this: your wife gives you a grocery list. You go and check everything off the list. The next time you go to the store, you may need different stuff, some things get added to the list and some things get removed. If you tried to keep using that same piece of paper you started with originally, you'd get really confused as to what exactly was the correct list of stuff you needed.

When you dirty flash, system files are getting overwritten with new versions, some older files that are no longer needed are left hanging around because they weren't overwritten, it just gets messy. I know it's a pain to backup, clean wipe and flash an update, but it's like djkeller said, you will have a much better peace of mind (as well as better results) if you start with a clean slate on your phone every time you update your Android OS.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Nice posts DJKeller and Brenuga nice posts to both of you.

Another advantage of clean installs on a regular basis however you might decided when to clean install and when to dirty flash, is that you learn how to do clean installs quickly and develop a process that makes it easy.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
This is the exact reason I decided to try and flash a custom ROM. I got sick of the not knowing, being led along with a dangling carrot that may never even have been there, having all the VZW programs that I never use but always have to have running on my phone, etc etc etc.

I must especially thank Neo for such a sick ROM. I looked around for a ROM i could use for work and play and I kept finding that ROM's had issues. Things not working or missing features. I found Infected to have what I needed, and for my first time flashing a ROM, I must say that I was fully satisfied. Seriously excited for 2.5!

If The One gets The HTC One will we still see Rezound ROM's?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Yes, just like the incredible. However, it won't be as frequent.

Re: [ROM][JB-4.2.2][04/12/13] ☣ INFECTION 2.4 ☠ [CM-10.1][Linaro13.02][GCC/G++ 4.7]

Minor tweaks, patches, and updates yes; major rewrites of the base code on a regular basis? Automating something like that would take likely more time to pull off than the devs currently invest in developing these Roms.

I get where you're coming from, a no fuss self updating Rom would be nice, but if the devs actually took the time to set up and manage a system like that we'd still all be running GB Roms on this phone.

Remember that the original developer of the rezound abandoned us for ICS, much less JB. This Rom, like many others in the aosp world, is the result of awesome people working together to make for our phone what HTC said they never would. And it is very much a work heavily in development.

They do all of this for free at great expense of their own time for reasons I can't begin to comprehend.

In short, these *****es be crazy. <3

If it weren't for Neo and others working on AOSP, I would have ditched my Rez a good bit ago.

What I love most about Neo's work is that his love of developing is so obvious in everything he creates. It shows in everything he does. And he's not one to abandon, which we've seen before (though some have had good and valid reasons, not complaining)...but still, Neo is probably the most consistent and conscientious developer I've come across since I began flashing ROMs back in the OG Droid days.

Hey guys I'm taking a look at my battery stats on my phone I wanted to take a screenshot of my battery stats but I can't I didn't know how to actually take a screenshot with this ROM infection 2.4

these battery stats can't be normal
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Hold down the power button until the menu pops up. There is an option for screenshots.
[HTC Rezound] torr310:
Go to Settings --> System --> Power Menu --> check the "Screenshot" if you have not done it

Then as advice above, hold your power button, you can choose the screenshot option.
[HTC Rezound] udz2002:
May not be enabled...

System Settings > System > Power Menu > Screenshot check box

Me too! It makes a great MP3 player and camera, even when not in range of WiFi. I was going to ask the same question. The DInc is the reason I have a Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Hold down power plus volume down st the same time and it will take a screenshot. This works on every aosp rom and is not something that needs to be enabled :)
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
This is how I used to do it, but since flashing, this has not worked. I always thought it was a built in default feature, but for some reason its doesn't work. -- Oh yes it does! Keep trying, you'll get it --
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You can enable a Screenshot option in the power menu through system settings.
[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
This has been done and works, but it also should work by using the volume/power keys as well. I'm not concerned it doesn't work, but it is supposed to.
[HTC Rezound] ChuckZv2:
yeah before I rooted my Rezound when it was at bone stock, this is how I used to take screenshots. but ever since I've rooted and started using aosp ROM or other ROM's that command stopped working.

[HTC Rezound] etieseler:
Now don't I feel like a jack ass now. After many attempts I finally got a screen shot with the volume/power keys. I guess I was a few milliseconds off on hitting the buttons simultaneously. I'll go eat my words now.
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
It's a handy trick to know for sure. The list of phones it works on seems longer than the list it doesn't. Not quite universal but always a great first stop when attempting screen capture on someone else's phone. Especially if it isn't rooted.

The stock note one you have to click on the button on the stylist while the stylist is touching the screen. The wife figured it out before me when I kept saying the little button on the side didn't do anything anyways. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] djkeller3:
I'm hoping that maybe the 2.5 testers will know the answer to this...will there be any improved sound quality with Bluetooth calling in the 2.5 release?

I'm in outside sales and use my Rez almost non-stop for my job, which involves making hours of phone calls on some days. I finally gave up using my new Jawbone because too many people complained about the way it sounded. I'm hoping that with the improved video playback there is also improved Bluetooth sound quality.:)
[HTC Rezound] mavpts:
Try blue parrot with a foam cover over the mic to cut wind noise. So much better than my jawbone days.
[HTC Rezound] djkeller3:
That's a good idea, but I'm hoping the sound quality for Bluetooth calling will be better, noise aside, people have complained about it.
[HTC Rezound] mavpts:
If you have another b/t device, try them both in a real quiet environment and see what sound quality is like on both. Then repeat test in noisy environment. My wife 3/4 time thinks I am on speakerphone on both b/t headsets I have. Think that is the nature of the beast. She can't tell if I'm on sense or aosp ROM.
[HTC Rezound] lancasterv3:
i feel your pain when i bought the rezound i bought the jawbone era and was completely let down by the quality using the rezound. i have contacted jawbone and received a new unit with the same results, turned off noise assassin and everything you could think of with minimal results. Aosp definitely helped with quality over sense but bottom line i don't think jawbones play nice with htc at least from what i have seen in jawbone forums. Sadly i will probably be buying another blutooth unless someone out there has some awesome trick to help us out :(

I have a question that I'm unsure about

with this ROM do your contacts still get backed up to Google or Verizon.

I organized my people or contacts and was hoping It could stay that way. Or if I flash 2.5 I can restore some of the contacts that I edit or created..
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Certainly
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
So long as you sync your contacts with Google you should be fine

Hey neo, I always thought that the screen flickering was something to do with video tearing. Obviously this isn't the case since it's still happening, so is it a completely unrelated unknown issue?

[HTC Rezound] Neo:
HBOOT-2.28.0000

RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

Keep in mind however, this hboot isn't engineered so it's quite possible you'll lose fastboot (if S-OFF) as we don't yet have an engineered hboot. Haven't tried to fastboot yet (I'm S-OFF after all). If S-ON you'll simply need to re-lock, flash, re-unlock new hboot and you'll have fastboot back.

Do I need to reflash boot.img and recovery after flashing it if I'm S-On? Do I need to lock bootloader as well?

What's the benefit of updating the H-Boot from 2.27?
[HTC Rezound] dbighead77:
I too didn't realize there was a HBoot 2.28, and I'm also on 2.27.

I've always been cautious about upgrading the radios and HBoot, so I wanted to make sure I had the process down (I'm S-OFF):

Pre-req: MD5 Checks and all that goodness. Then another Md5 check, and maybe one more to be somewhat sure.

1) put the PH98IMG.zip on my phone

2) Boot into HBoot

3) It will automatically say "Install update?". Press power to start update

Then, from there, will I have to go through the HTCDev Unlock or wire-trick S-OFF procedure again?

Also, has anyone seen improvements with the new radios or hboot, or had any problems with it? Is there a compelling reason to update?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No need to reflash your boot.img I don't think. If S-on, you will need to re-lock bootloader then re-unlock it like you had before after you have flashed the new image file.

Correct.

None that I can tell. However, the radio appears to have improved my signal strength slightly and better on battery.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No. Since you are S-off, you will simply flash the PH98IMG. You will remain S-Off but the bootloader will show locked. That of course effects you in no way since you're S-OFF, with exception to using FASTBOOT if you ever need. In that case you would have to unlock it get fastboot back.

We do not yet have an engineered HBOOT for s-off so I'm not sure if you're able to unlock it while S-OFF.. If you are S-OFF and have a special need for fastboot, you may not want to flash.

I only say this because I have not attempted to unlock it yet (I'm S-OFF)

Hey I've been experiencing pretty horrendous battery life and want to try flashing the new h-boot and radio, but I am s-on. Can someone please confirm that flashing this will not break fastboot? I would hate to flash this and then not be able to use fastboot to run neo's latest roms.

-Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
That's unusual.. Are you on the latest hboot and did you lock before hand? let me know if you are S-OFF or not and briefly list the procedure to which you flashed the image if you don't mind
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Being S-On, it will not break your fastboot provided you unlock your new hboot after flash.
[HTC Rezound] dbighead77:
Thanks for the quick reply. (Hopefully this isn't taking time away from the magic of 2.5!)

I guess I never heard of anyone being S-OFF and Locked on the Rezound before. I've always assumed that S-OFF implied Hboot-Unlocked.

The only reason I've seen for needing fastboot so far is if the phone is S-ON and needed a new kernel. Other than that, I can't think of a reason I've ever needed fastboot. Since I'm S-OFF, I can update the Hboot to 2.28, stay S-OFF, keep flashing amazing Neo Roms, and whatever kernel's people put out without worry. Just let me know if that's incorrect.

And sorry for helping turn this dev thread into a talk about Hboots and flashing procedures.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
looks like i'm on the most recent hboot now and i didn't relock prior. i am s-off. i just downloaded your filed, rebooted in bootloader and flashed it.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
I assume it will "factory reset" everything like it's done usually after unlock. Right?
[HTC Rezound] Adam_NCNN:
Even if the Hboot shows "Locked" the security bit is off, so you have free access to it anyways. As far as fastboot, I've never used it.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Just checking... If we're on one of the modded hboots ("f****d up," says locked when it's unlocked, etc) we can flash the new hboot over it with no problems, right? IIRC the only thing we weren't supposed to do was try to relock with a modded hboot installed, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
[HTC Rezound] Adam_NCNN:
Correct. The problem with relocking with the modded h-boot was with S-On devices. If you are S-Off, it doesn't matter.
