The difference is the base. Infection is on the CyanogenMod base, TRON is on the PAC-man base. PAC-man started with the CyanogenMod base and added on parts of AOKP and Paranoid Android along with a few other things, and did all of the integration to make it work smoothly together. PAC-man is advertised as the All-In-One ROM because it combines all of the functionality of the other major ROMs into one super-ROM. PAC is always going to have the latest bells and whistles. If you want something simple and lean, it's definitely not the ROM for you.

Has anyone else had issues with the phone going into a boot loop after rebooting
[HTC Rezound] cryppie:
Shrikes pac is my daily which defaults to 1620/384 with no issues. This is the only rom I have had that worked perfectly but then failed to boot. Can't say for sure but I doubt it's an overclocking issue.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
You can disable HALO by double tapping the HALO but hold your finger down on the second tap, then drag it to the X and let go. You will still have the button on the notification shade, but that is part of what PAC and TRON are all about, having all options available to every user. The HALO))) app just allows you to perma-pin things to HALO for quick access.

I use PIN and have not had any issues with bootlooping or rebooting.

I don't know- I found it annoying yesterday, but now that I actually know how to USE it (I found it confusing and cumbersome yesterday), I'm getting the hang of it, and I kinda like it now!

New theory. I went back to slide unlock and kept getting the quick reboots where it just shows the boot screen for a few seconds then is fine. I started wondering what else I changed. I had set the lock after 30 seconds, instead of immediately. Upon changing that back to immediately I haven't had any reboots since.

Could it be something with the "timer" that makes that reboot happen? Whenever it went to timeout and I tried to turn my screen back on is when the reboot happened. Going to try again
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
Something else I had a problem with that disabling HALO fixed, attaching a file to an email.

From the email app, composing a new email, click menu, click attach file, no matter what app I tried to use it would half open the file picker then fail back to the email I was writing. Disabled HALO and the file pickers in the different apps would open just fine.

I just recovered from a bootloop (stuck on boot animation).

Old-fix (when I encountered this before): Wipe, reflash, restore recent backup.

New-fix:

Removing /data/system/packages.xml through adb shell fixed the bootloop. It took the system awhile to regenerate the file. When it booted up, I got the firstboot prompts and had lost my launcher settings (easily restored from Titanium Backup).

I've encountered this problem several times before on an earlier version of TRON (don't remember which version). The errors prompted me to switch to INFECTION as it was a hassle to reflash and restore app settings. I never had this issue on INFECTION (but alas, I like to over-customize).

Is there a way to make my WMA files play in the music player..without downloading any 3rd party app?
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
FYI, WMA is written by MicroSoft, so...
[HTC Rezound] sanders539:
I use PowerAmp for that reason. WMA sounds way better than MP3 and PowerAmp has, to me, the best EQ. It is one of the only apps I paid for to get the full version. I have restored it with app data many, many times and never had an issue either.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
So I received a picture via MMS. I got the notification for it, but other than that, it doesn't show in the messages. I keep getting reminders for it, but there's nothing for me to acknowledge I received to clear the reminder. I even tried using FB messenger as the SMS/MMS app, still doesn't show anything.
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
I ran day one without any reboots. Yesterday was a nightmare with continuous reboots (just quick "soft" boots). Restored my nand I made right after getting setup and no reboots. I am going to go two days, then try changing a few settings I know I tweaked. See if I can narrow down the one causing the reboots

You're awesome Neo! That power rangers tone is sick!
[HTC Rezound] Nappyloxs:
I am having a strange issue where I cannot install my .apk from my sdcard. I have a few xda apps.

Apk handler comes up and I can press install

the do you want to install this app comes up, I scroll down and install comes up.

But when I press install "Nothing", but I can press cancel.

This happens with more than 1 app and with more than one root browser.

I have allow apps from unknown sources checked.
[HTC Rezound] cryppie:
This has been mentioned recently. Close Halo then hit install.
[HTC Rezound] jooski:
Halo issue

So my phone actually rang (who calls right?) i went to answer it and the screen stayed black. I unlocked it and couldn't answer it without pulling down the status bar and selecting "incoming call". when i did answer it it opened in the partial window like i opened it with halo, photo below.

To fix this i had to close halo (double tap drag) and reboot my phone. As long as i don't open voicemail or a missed call through halo the phone calls answer properly and does not have a problem. Thought this might be helpful to someone in the future.

I would guess this is a PA halo issue and not fall upon Neo and his greatness.

Boot loops

I've changed the recovery from amon to twrp and still have the boot loop occur sporadically. I've installed my apps one by one and rebooted in-between and I've made numorous configuration changes trying to force a boot loop but cannot track it down. I thought I had it narrowed down to WIFI after I had one occur after connecting to an AP using peap/mschapv2 since that was all I had done since the previous reboot. Restored and connected again with no boot loop. :(

This is the only rom this has occurred on and I use the same apps as always.

This is not a forced reboot. This loop only occurs if rebooting manually.

Attached is a logcat of the boot loop is anyone is interested.

[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Couple things I just flashed so far so good. My 4g signal strength seems to be lower with this than on the last version, don't really see how that is though...that should be tre radios right?

Second the play store keeps auto adding widgets to the home screen even though I have that option turned off.

Lastly the dot on the left side, not sure what its officially called, I accidentally opened it, how do I make it go away?

One thing though YAY...my camera seems to actually focus properly again....I had to take 5 pictures of something this morning to get it in focus...that was beginning to get really annoying.....
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
That dot is called Halo, double tap then hold, then drag to X on top.
[HTC Rezound] sdz2:
My experience with TRON (as compared to INFECTION) is that you pay for all of the extra features / customizations with a greater lack of stability. Is that the general consensus?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
The auto adding short cut is in Nova settings turn it off

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Correct. It's less stable imo and a little slower
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
From what I've seen of the latest JB ROMs, I might just stick to Tron 2.1 for a while. Been pretty stable for me.

Do any of those battery stat apps actually show what's draining the battery? Something lately is draining my battery more then usual. Stock stats show Android System to be the culprit.
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
GSam Battery Monitor is pretty informative. Best battery app I've come across so far. Much less confusing than Better Battery Stats, and more in line with Android OS battery stats (ie, seems more accurate than BBS). Also check out Wakelock Detector. Might shed some light on what's keeping your phone awake in the background.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
GSam is telling me it's GpsLocationProvider. I'm guessing I have an app constantly trying to use GPS, even though I have it turned off.
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
Maybe location settings in Maps? I make sure location is not updated under Location Reporting, and Report from this device is unchecked. Also make sure Enable Location sharing is unchecked. I just went to check my own settings and noticed that my location reporting was set for "Detect your location". Not sure how it got that way, because I had it set for "do not update ", but I just changed that. LOL
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Mine was set to that too, thought I had disabled it shortly after flashing the ROM. I also disable location settings in FB messenger too. Hopefully that does the trick. I can't think of any other apps that use GPS.
[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Getting horrible battery life too. Im down to 18 percent in 6 hours 41 minutes with basically no use. Screen 45 percent, android os 17 percent cell standby 14 percent.
[HTC Rezound] DogzOfWar:
I was doing really well, but over just the past 2 days, my battery has also gotten pretty horrible. It's telling me that "Media Server" is primarily responsible, with "Google Maps" following behind.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I've noticed that having keyboard sounds racks up Android usage. I found that audio_out2 service is part of Android system and has my Android usage to be high. Better battery stats is by far the best in my opinion. I also use titanium backup widget to freeze/launch maps when I don't need it. For some reason maps stays on sometimes
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
For some reason Tron is actually more stable for me than the latest infection. No bootloops so far.
[HTC Rezound] gleggie:
Yea i always disable haptic feedback as well as keyboard sounds. Also, disabling location services will help battery life a lot but some people need that on.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Gonna repost these for people having problems with battery life.

***All the credit for the information goes to Neo, Shrike, Snuzzo, iHateWebOS, brenuga, wildstang, Fly and others since they helped answer my questions and give me advice over my time with the Rezound

Play around with Max CPU Clockspeeds and governors to see which one is best for you. I've been on Wheatley/Row for a while now, but its best to play around since everyone uses their phone differently.

Here are some Neo-steroid battery settings:

"A little something I suggested to someone earlier on the fly:

*Don't use auto brightness and keep your screen brightness low but not too low that causes you to strain.

*Undervolt all frequencies by -50mv using kernel tuner.

*Underclock the rom to 1,080mhz

*Change I/O scheduler to noop

*Change governor to Lionheart (if you have it) or DanceDance.

*Disable all haptic feedback including soft keys and keyboard

*Disable data or account sync overnight (unless you plug your phone into a charger over night)

*Enable 16-bit transparency

*Disable dithering

*Disable HW overlays

*Disable all animations

*Ensure GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth are turned off when not in use

*Use WiFi where available instead of 4G

*Disable weather refreshing and leave it to manual refresh

*Disable wallpaper scrolling and animations if possible in the launcher"

Those Neo-settings are a bit extreme^ but you can pick and chose which ones you want to use.

I personally have all animations at 0.5x

Lastly, make sure to keep widget refresh intervals as low as possible. I like to keep mine at 4 hours, but the most extreme would be manual refresh.
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
Greenify will "hibernate" apps that are not currently active and prevent them from running in the background, until you open them again. I have Facebook, Google +, and Dolphin "Greenified". It works pretty well. Facebook was always one of the worst culprits at background activity, even if all syncing and push notification is disabled. Now it's battery usage has pretty much disappeared from my phone, unless I use it.

I used to use Better Battery Stats, but I always found it's reporting confusing. It will tell you how much time spend in partial wakelocks, for example, but it is still not clear what is actually keeping the phone awake. Also, GSam's battery usage reporting (ie, app usage percentage), was more in line with what was being reported in Settings, Battery. BBS' results were sometimes much different. That made believe that GSam was more accurately reporting my battery usage.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Thanks. Greenify looks like a good app. Since I've disabled location reporting in Maps, non of my other apps show any significant usage. I had GSam installed before, but at the time I didn't really have any weird battery drain so I had uninstalled it. I'm going to keep it installed now in case I have weird battery drain in the future.
[HTC Rezound] loki993:
Well like the watched pot never boils or the car never acts up when the technician drives it, I installed better battery stats last night to see what was going on and the phone is off battery for over 9 hours and still at 88 percent. Before that I had to charge the phone twice that day because the battery life was so bad. I was getting 6 maybe 7 hours before I was below 15 percent. Literally the only thing I did was install better battery stats so I don't know whats going on.

A couple other times though I would install this ROM, different versions, and I would get amazing battery life for a day or two after the install and then it would go down and pretty much stay there, but it was "normal" battery life for this phone which isn't the greatest to begin with. What I was getting over the past day or so was not normal.

Ill keep an eye on it and report back if anything changes..hopefully it stays this was though lol
[HTC Rezound] scumfromohio:
I've flashed the rom twice. Both times it flashed fine after a few hours the first time went into a systemui force close loop. Tried battery pull, reboot, powering off, and fixing permission nothing worked. Second time i made sure i didn't restore any apps in tb and after a day the same thing happened. I'm on the most current radio came from shrike's pacman rom and wiped everything twice before fashing. Any ideas here? :confused:
[HTC Rezound] xjbhx:
Ever since doing this after a clean flash, I have had no soft reboots, or boot loops, 4 days now. I did not change anything else, I reinstalled all the same apps, and use the phone the exact same ways with same setups as I was when I initially flashed 2.2. Initially I was experiencing several soft reboots a day. I am not exactly sure what that xml files does, but removing it seems to have helped a bit.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
This is a really cool ROM but I'm afraid I'll have to go back to my old standby, Rezone Redux. I keep having the same connectivity issues I had back when AOSP first found its way to the Rezound. I travel 30 miles to work and my phone refuses to do a tower handoff. It will hold onto my current tower until it loses service, then search for a signal until I toggle airplane mode on and off. I discovered yesterday, after flashing the night before, that I was sitting at work with no cell service. I get very strong 4G service at work, too. A quick toggle of airplane mode and I was back to full bars and 4G data. On the way home, it happened again. The reason I switched back to a stock-based ROM, previously, was because this caused me to drop calls while traveling. I was hoping this wouldn't be an issue on the newest ROMs. Anyone else having this problem, or am I just unlucky? I have never once had this problem on a Sense 3.6 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] imparables:
For System UI problems what helped me was what someone else mentioned...I went to Hybrid, settings, Interface, and unchecked in global settings for app colors. Seems to help out so far. Halo hasn't given me any problems. Neo like always, awesome job. A very customizable and deep ROM.
[HTC Rezound] scumfromohio:
I'll keep this in mind I realized I was on an older version of amon ra recovery. So I updated and reflashed. So far no problems, keeping my fingers crossed.
[HTC Rezound] Mystique:
Sorry to be so seemingly dense..

I put hangouts and messages into halo..

I've since removed them.. But I still have the blue dot..

How does that get removed?

I've disabled it, cleared the dB, rebooted.. ;)

Open to suggestions..

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] jtio21:
To remove the blue dot (halo) you must double click it and drag the dot to the gray X at the top of your screen.
[HTC Rezound] imparables:
If I recall correctly the Theme changer can also cause System ui problems. I would also try fixing permissions...not sure if it did anything, but did it any way. I would also change/play with the themes to try and correct it. Worth a try....
[HTC Rezound] DogzOfWar:
Has anyone had a problem with Google+ syncing their photos? I seem to be missing a section of the Settings menu called "Accounts & Sync", which seems to be where you would configure Auto-backup for photos. I had this working on Tron 2.1 and previous ROMs, but nothing I do seems to actually sync the photos.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
Near the bottom of the system settings, there is a section called "accounts" and it'll show Google, Facebook, Corporate, whatever accounts are there. Google is obviously the one you need.
[HTC Rezound] DogzOfWar:
Got it to work. It was a bit more complicated than I thought (or it probably should have been).

I went to Settings->Accounts->Google. In there, I adjusted the Sync settings to backup my photos.

Next, I had to go into Google+. In there, the Photos options actually send you back to the settings I mentioned above. Instead, in Google+ I chose to view my photos. Then, I chose "Camera" photos, and at the bottom of the screen, it says "Auto-Backup off". I toggled that. Now finally, I can adjust the autobackup settings for Photos using the regular Google+ settings.

Sorry for posting this question here. But the online help for this seems to suggest a section of "Settings" might have been missing.

Horrific battery drain

I recently had my Rezound replaced, and the replacement was shipped with the latest 4.05.605.14 software / firmware / etc. I flashed this ROM to check it out, and I will admit, I love it, except for the horrific battery life it has.

On standby with no usage, I might get a 4 hours out of it before the extended battery dies from a full charge. The battery is constantly hot and I have turned down the CPU overclocking, turned off the location services, and pretty much anything that would remain active.

Any thoughts as to what is causing this to constantly be running the CPU?
[HTC Rezound] corporal_hades:
I'm going with a bad installation. if s-on did you flash the boot.img file?
[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
Strange. I had great battery life on this ROM. I also have the extended battery, and I am a moderate to heavy user (usually between 1 hour and 90 minutes screen on time), and I could usually go between 12 and 15 hours with room to spare. Anywhere from 35-50% left at the end of that time, depending on the day's usage.

I love this ROM, and Halo, although at first I had a hard time getting it to work. The only reason I ended up going back to Infection is because of the periodic System UI crashes. But battery life was great for me. Maybe a rogue app in the background?
