I did use 2.6.3.3 to wipe the emmc only and that solved my problem. I had already wiped the sdcard with CWMT. Funny how these things work out. If I do have any more problems, I'll go back tp 2.6.3.0... Do you recommend 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.0 for clean-flashing CM for the purpose of changing to ART?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
according to some cm11 works with 2.6.3.0 ive only ever flashed kk with 2.6.3.3 and used it for nothing else...except for wiping all except the sdcards as 2.6.3.3 has weird mount issues with those 2 wipes
[HTC Rezound] pbcupcake:
Forgot to fastboot flash the boot.img. I was following the directions too literally.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
i do want to say that i recommend s-off for cm11 (kitkat) or if you plan on staying on anything other than stock....its not a hard process at all just follow my guide properly....you'll never have to fastboot flash anymore and if you brick your rezound while s-on and flashing these higher roms and necessary radios for it...YOU WILL HAVE NO FIX and permanantly have an expensive paperweight.....i cant stress this enough with people....i as well as unlimited.io are against any left over windows version of controlbear as it has bricked many....my or unlimited.io method has not bricked at all....and in the rare occasion that it has...it was user error for trying same wire that didnt work the first 2 times repeatedly and causing the jpbear arrow screen bug and soft bricking them....im also working on a working signed zip to fix this user related bug as well
[HTC Rezound] stankopp:
Is it still possible to get s-off? Maybe I would trust your method - If I do brick, it's time for a new phone anyway.

I am just interested in seeing how much I can wring out of my old Rez. I cannot see any reason to get rid of such a good phone to which so many excellent devs are dedicated.
[HTC Rezound] Talguy:
Well yesterday was a sad day. I am officially jumping ship from the Rezound to a Moto X Developer Edition. I just couldn't resist the Nexus pricing of the phone while preserving my unlimited data. Sadly I'll miss the development as there isn't much for the X at this moment and doubt there will be without disabling a lot of its innovative features. But I'm not jumping ship before I try this CM11 ROM. So I'm going to flash this ROM this week. What do I need to know? I've heard chromium is a big problem right when viewing HTML in gmail and browser. Is TWRP still the preerring recovery for flashing KitKat and will 2.6.3.0 work? How's the battery life and graphical stability? Also I'm a huge bluetooth streaming user. I use it all the time between my JamBox and Car. Is Bluetooth audio streaming working? Is there any problems I should be aware of?

Edit: Also does CM11 / non-N5 KitKat include the phone app that looks up the number calling in that is not in your contacts?
[HTC Rezound] 4GivenByChrist:
Saw this posted to another forum as a workaround the black box issue. Worked on the Droid 4 and other devices were confirmed if I understand the comments correctly. Figured I'd post the link to see if it may be useful for the Rezound http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54291/
[HTC Rezound] hochoch:
i was literally about to post this same thing! Loving the rom so far but the black boxes are killing me. Hopefully this works and voice search can be fixed so we'll be running 100% KK :)

Thanks to al the devs!!!!
[HTC Rezound] Jonman409:
I can confirm that it fixes it. I only tested with ion though
[HTC Rezound] dtomlin:
Wasn't this merged before our last build?

The review page shows it merged on 11/23.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It was not a problem on the last ION build was it?
[HTC Rezound] dtomlin:
Last ion build didn't have black screen issue. Just pmem.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Thought so, we need a PMEM build to verify if it works or not.
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Can't wait until this is incorporated :).
[HTC Rezound] _litz:
So far, nothing on the pmem side of things has fixed the black boxes ...

Kinda makes things interesting ... we need pmem to have a camera ... and we need ion to have a usable interface.

Anyone want to step up and write an ION camera driver? Or figure out a way to run a pmem camera module on an ion kernel?
[HTC Rezound] dlumberg:
Camera on ION might be doable at this point. When Chad was working on it ICS was new, though I tend to agree with his assessment that FFC may never work.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
THAT is going into Tachyon ;) I'm actually smack in the middle of working on it lol
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
We had thought so way back when before it was merged. However, it didn't fix it and has since then been merged. Thanks for investigating though :)
[HTC Rezound] hochoch:
Darn. So, do you foresee this being fixed or is it just something we'll have to live with?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I think it will eventually get solved
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
my method is very similar to unlimited.io method....its the safest method as again windows version bricked almost 70% of the reozunds in the community....my method has about a 1% chance of failure and that 1% would be caused by not following instructions on your behalf
[HTC Rezound] dlumberg:
What cherrypicks are required to build at this point?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I thought there were 2 but it may only be just this one now: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53559
[HTC Rezound] power950:
O.o I didn't know I had such a high chance of bricking my rezound I used the windows version of that Junobear thing or whatever its called I tried a million times with the wire and it finally worked guess I was lucky :) I'm very happy being s-off now thou very simple flashes
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
If the wire doesn't work the 2nd time try a different one....the reason people brick is because they keep trying with same one that didn't work...after so many attempts you'll get this brick
[HTC Rezound] dtomlin:
Not hard to do from Linux live CD. Got mine first try
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
Does it really have anything to do with windows vs Linux? Or is it just a user issue? Seeing as majority of people use windows over Linux.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
the windows program was made out of the original linux files for the method....as for windows and its bugs....windows OS is a more closed environment for this and can vary between different versions and different firewalls etc....thus windows version may work perfect for some users and brick for many others as the settings in windows or what you have installed can conflict...linux is very universal and can run the proper codes and such without a hitch....the program in windows was only meant to run as it was coded and not very universal or flexible with how you went about doing it.....as stated by [MENTION=3887054]dtomlin[/MENTION] you dont even have to install linux.....just run it straight from a live disk and boom....also having a backup of linux can be very useful for many other things such as data rescue.....also note about 98% of all the roms that are made for the rezound are made using a linux operating system as building from code like all aosp roms requires a linux terminal or highly configured terminal for windows program....i build my roms with linux and i know Neo does as well now
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
For sure just was curious. I also run Linux, but did s-off with Windows before I switched to linux. Only thing my old ass dell can run lol
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Neo a repeat question ...

Neo,

I realize you are busy but hope that you could answer a couple of questions. I have been trying to build a ROM again after my System restoration and it is not doing well. We used:

repo init -u git://github.com/vigor/android.git -b cm-10.2

and it fails at the EmulatedFakeCamera2.cpp. Is this a problem with the Jelly Bean version???

We then tried:

repo init -u git://github.com/vigor/android.git -b cm-11.0

And to that we got default.Manifest.xml missing and could not get the code. Is it not available to the general masses yet??

Thanks,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
From a new, working folder, you need to fetch https://github.com/vigor/android/blob/cm-11.0/initrepo.sh

Execute that via

. initrepo.sh

and it will do all the proper sync work for you. We do not init repo from vigor's android.git directly anymore as the android.git for cm changes often.

This of course isn't common knowledge and only a few of us know which reminds me that the public instructions for building cm-11.0 need to be updated :)
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
and thats the beauty with linux....can run on just about anything.....even your rezound with a little bit of know how and a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Not yet ...

Nope. Not yet... since you haven't written it up yet I will be your tester.... and it didn't work. This is the tail end where it failed. Did a lot but it did not create and dirs or transfer any files.

Good luck !
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I was looking at that the other day. Very interesting indeed. I've been trying to resurect Chad's work for Ion, but this could be a better option because I don't believe the FFC would work with what he had.
[HTC Rezound] stankopp:
Where might I find these instructions?
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I used to run Debian Linux on my Incredible. Never found a real use for it though, just fun to play with.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No testing needed. I and a few others confirm it to work. Create a new working directory, cd into it, fetch the initrepo.sh into that folder, and execute. Fetch errors are common and if you did all of the above as I just mentioned, then you simply need to run repo sync again to pick up where it left off.

[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
I finally got some time to install this. Did the ION + ART but the phone freezes up quite a bit. Not completely freezing, but often and for like 5 seconds. It's not always inside of apps either, I had it happen in a menu and while opening the app drawer. Using the browser is almost impossible, and videos don't work at all.

Also, after I switched to ART and installed gapps, there was a lot LESS apps in my app drawer. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not as it seems all core functionality is here, but I didn't look beforehand to see what's missing now. There's no People app or News & Weather, but I don't know of those just aren't in 4.4 anymore?

Are these issues just ART related? Is switching it back as simple as going back to Dalvik? Does anything need to be reinstalled?
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Missing something...??

Honestly? If it were me I'd start over. Sounds like something didn't pull properly or got corrupted.
[HTC Rezound] dlumberg:
I just installed ION+ART and I noticed the lagginess. I ran a logcat and it looks like any time that it's not inside an app the Audio is "streaming" something.

a ton of these:

V/AudioHardwareMSM8660(11427): AudioStreamInMSM8x60::read(0x40010960, 320)

sometimes the read(0x4XXXXXXXXXX) changes

EDIT:

It seems to be a problem in Trebuchet because I just switched over to Apex and the audio lines disappeared from logcat
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
New Kernel in the Works

​

Not sure if this is too off-topic, but I've been working on my own working on my own, Rezound exclusive, kernel. Right now, it's a disgusting, unstable, monster of a build, and I'm just lucky that I haven't bricked my phone, yet. It's AOSP-based (pure, vanilla Android - not Vigor AOSP source) and is too unstable to even be worthy of its own thread. I just figured, "My phone is starting to die (funky hardware problems) and my contract is up, so here's my new Dev Device.

It's a gross, Frankenstein, build of AOSP, with snippets of the official Vigor kernel. The purpose of my project, is to bring back and keep HDMI, camera(s), camcorder, WiFi, cellular (including LTE) and SMS/MMS support, and still provide a battery-friendly, stable experience.

I can boot up my phone, plug it into the TV, start mirroring, and then it crashes (after a couple seconds of crazy distortion on the HDMI stream) into a boot-loop that requires me to go back to the CM kernel. One major roadblock, is that the Rezound stopped getting new kernels at Android 4.0 (3.14.605.13). This is making it much more difficult to build for Kit Kat, because, not only do I have to decide what's depreciated, but also what's entirely new. That's the 2nd major reason for using AOSP as a building-block.

I hope to have a stable (or at least semi-stable) beta build in a new thread by the end of this month. A bit of a Christmas gift for us all. ;) I have no screenshots to provide (I haven't changed anything in the settings.apk, and all changes in the KK source are "invisible" (at least, in terms of UI) and it isn't yet worthy of even uploading (for the safety of curious developers and preventing my own embarrassment ;) ). HDMI output is just "on" by default. If Neo is okay with this, I will provide an update post in this thread, when I have a thread up. And, of course, I will include my source code.

Most people just finished their contract, last month, so this is for everyone stuck with (or just still uses) the Rezound. :highfive: I also hope that this will show that some features are possible, on AOSP. My future plans include fast charge, battery improvement, bringing back the Beats audio (maybe), and just getting that amazing sound that we all had on the stock ROM.

Well, that's it for me. Feel free to PM me with any questions, comments, etc. I don't want any posts about is cluttering up Neo's thread, and causing confusion for some noob who might waste time looking for it. ;) Wish me luck, happy Hump Day, and have a great week. xD And don't even think about touching that "THANKS" button, until I have some proof to show my hard work. ;)

I suppose I can try:

Phone Encryption

Calendar Sync

Exchange E-Mail

Since my Exchange policy would force that in one fell swoop. However last time enabling encryption knocked out the cell radio. Is it possible there have been fixes since then? (about June 2013). It keeps from hitting CM/AOSP :(
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
That's what I've been working off of lol. Just wondering if newer versions worked.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
One of the worst apps I'm having issues with is Gmail. It takes about 10 seconds to respond to each action I do (swiping to the next email, hitting the menu button, hitting back, etc). And then after it completes it it usually crashes. ION + ART.
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Anyone know of a good replacement for Feedly? So far all the ones I have tried don't work because of the Webview thing. I never realized how many things use that!
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
Thanks for the "THANKS", everyone. I appreciate the appreciation. xD

On a separate note, I was looking for a possible solution to our black-screen issue, but believe that I found the cause, instead.

For those on mobile devices (or just don't feel like clicking the link), I was going through Chromium's Google Code pages - wondering if it we could replace the WebKit engine in Kit Kat with Chromium's - and learned that is the change that was made in 4.4! Chrome uses this, which is why it can render HTML correctly. The AOSP browser doesn't (it uses the old normal), nor does Gmail, nor Feedly, etc. Firefox doesn't, either. However, it uses its own custom engine (which is why it works, as well, and isn't available on iOS).

So, there it is: the change that is the root cause (according to that article and some other quick research I did) of our black-screened apps. I guess that all we have to do for third-party apps to update, using the latest APIs. As for the first-party apps, either someone will decompile, make a few quick changes, then recompile them, or wait for a new GAPPS package, from another phone, running 4.4 (think: HTC [name] Google Play Edition).
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
I've been using "myMail". I still prefer the official Gmail app, but this will have to suffice, until then. It's sleek and isn't too much of an eyesore. I just wish that it would show a toast when you hold your finger on an icon, and let me change the theme.. I'd go for darker colors in any email/reading app, in dark environments.

Here's the link. It's the best email client (in terms of 4.4 and ART compatibility, ease of use, "prettiness", and speed) that I could find

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail

Oh, and by the way, notifications are off by default. You need to go into the settings and enable them... :silly:
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Anyone know how to change the color of the alternate characters on the keyboard? Swiftkey has been pissing me the heck off lately because it won't remember any words I use. I don't know why it's been sooo awful lately, but I'm sick of it. Why they refuse to add a custom dictionary I'll never know.

Anyway, the alternate characters like the number row 1 through 0 on the qwerty row, they are all black on the already-dark gray buttons. What were they thinking designing it like that?

If your company is setting policies that don't work with your phone, you can always use a no-security modded exchange. I've used it before just so I could have a different lock screen widget (because the exchange policies prevented me from having any lockscreen widgets other than the default).
