Longer than it should have ...

Hello fellow ReZounders ... any that are left. I still use it as my daily -and- as stated here -or- elsewhere I have purchased another one. I am now a two(2) gun ReZounder. :p My plans are to get it functioning properly on CM11(KitKat) and then maybe... maybe CM12(Lollipop) -or- CM13(Marshmallow.) I will have help from the team that is left... even though they have moved on to other phones. This was my first -and- only Smartphone.

I have purchased and setup two HP i7's and that is what the title is about. Got this last one on Feb 24th, 2016 and the setup was just a little troublesome. Ch-ch-ch-changes can be a bear!! The first one was purchased in October of 2014. I am retired, work part time at McDonalds and training my dog. My career was in Computers and Electronics and it was/is also one of my hobbies. Wish I could have had these i7's back when I was working...:rolleyes: But I have them now -and- I will consider them a wasted purchase IF I can't get this Android OS working properly on my ReZound.

On the latest new one I purchased an extra drive and memory. I now have 32GB of RAM and 3TB of HDD to work with. So NO excuse that I don't have the equipment. No I'm not bragging ... oh ****... yes I am!!! Took me a long time to get this set up and I am very, very proud of it. Now, like I said above ... put up -or- shut up!! If I can't get this Android OS working properly then I and the computers are a complete waste!!

So anyway... I/we are back!!! --- ANNNDD ... I will try to check in here daily, or at least every other day -OR- at the very least, once a week.:silly:

May 14th, 2016: Checking in... again. Rather than make a new message I am just reporting in here. No big news .... yet. -Chuck:p

===

May 19th, 2016: Said I would check in - and here I am. The news is -- both the Phone -and- I are "old". I must resurrect the stuff(programs and data) that was used before -and- get my 'puters co-ordinated. Mixing and matching NTFS and EXT4 and FAT32 can get harrowing. Especially when you only do it once in a while. Samba is thrown in there too. I am "playing" with 4 computers and two ReZounds. The latest one that was purchased has NOT even been rooted yet. IF anyone is interested in this adventure... just reply -and- I will place the address to my site up here. I document all this on my WebSite so I have it for reference -and- reminders. I forget things -- a lot!!:( Why am I doing all this?? ---- For fun... Both on the Phone's -and- the Computers.

[HTC Rezound] manchucka:
Yes, I'm watching. I'm interested in seeing if you can get a newer TWRP built so we can run this thing with F2FS. Less interested in running LP or MM.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Try this one....

Flyhalf created one: TWRP_2.8

I use it all the time. Don't know IF it will fit your needs but it works fine for me. Matter of fact I just used it on my "latest phone". The "used ReZound" that I purchased for testing and experimenting. Took me five days to get S-Off but finally got it. There is a program that will allow you to do it without a wire. That is what I used on my last two phones.

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Still here

IF anyone is interested I am still working on this. I know it is taking a long time -but- I have other things. My dog, Dakotah for one. I thought that when he got older he wouldn't demand so much attention. Well I was wrong!! He needs more. And I have that part time job at McDonald's. And last but not least is the setup of the 'puter. Should have it setup already you say..?? Well, the new one has taken me longer. The problem has been the "new" versus the "old" and the old being our ReZounds. These phones are almost 5 years old!!! It's like the 'puters, the OS's and software surpass the hardware.

Now then I looked at the M9 last year and was UN-happy. I did NOT get one. This year they have the M10 or just 10. I looked at one tonight and again was NOT overly impressed. Yes it was faster -and- it has a better camera -but- it was $683.00!!! $22.83 mo for two years. The HTC weather clock, which I really like, was available -but- for the price... the speed and those two items were not really worth it ... to me. My Rez does most of what it will do. So I am going to continue on with the Rez for a while longer. Maybe till the '10' price gets lower.

We are still on KitKat and probably will never get any higher. The main item right now is the Camcorder. Would like to get that working correctly.

Take care,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Looks like I am a loner...

I said that I was gona stick with the ReZound until I got the video fixed. Well, I am -but- not as my daily. I have purchased an HTC M10. The 'M' is in red cause they don't use it -but- I do. Just '10' doesn't sound right to me. I think I may have jumped onto another band wagon like the ReZ. Both are great phone -but- kinda left out. And Verizon has blocked the OEM Unlock!! Fortunately, a group that calls themselves "Sunshine" has figured out have to Unlock it. -But- you have to mail the phone t them. IF I had went to AT&T or Sprint... I wouldn't have had the Unlock problem. Just a piece of info for the rest of you.

Also got a subdued response from the Verizon clerk at the store. He said we don't get much call for them and that people wanted the i-phone or Samsungs. So maybe I got another orphan. -But- I don't care ... I like the phone and am liking it more and more as I use it. Right now I have it mailed off to get Unlocked.

This message title applies to both. Only messages here of late are the ones I have put out. Is there any interest in the ReZound anymore??? I wouldn't blame you if all the answers are No.

Also IF some enterprising individual would like to take over this site just respond and let me know. I have NOT been a good OP for the past year.

The ....my rezzie will always hold a special spot in my heart full of the fun I had with it.

It taught this noob tons....and sparked interests I never knew I had before. My rezzie still is out on my night-stand, but it's getting very dusty.

I look at it every nite and think that I will play with it later while I grab my v10 beside it.

I will keep it always for sure.....but it is getting very dusty indeed.

I met many good peoples here tyg via thru

that old beast....we all call our rez!

It sounds like you found another which makes you happier.

Life is to short....follow your heart.

Hugz & Respect,

Mine finally died, digitizer quit on me. Was using it as a media player (no SIM) and was great, but it's shuffled off this mortal coil... Thanks for your continued love for this orphaned device. You may be the only one left, but it was worth it to date. Might be time to end this Rom though, may not be anyone else around. Enjoy the 10. Rock on.
[HTC Rezound] meistfx:
is the camera bug fixed yet ?
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
nope.... not yet

No and I have not had the time to dig into it that I thought that I would have. In the past few months I have been working with my dog and my computer systems. I have finally made some significant progress ... at least to me... on these systems. Most of this has been for Android and the Rezound. Yes... Yes... I still plan to try and fix that camera problem. Yes.. I have a new M10 and yes it will detract me from my efforts. But I have two(2) Rezounds and hopefully I will be able to find the camera bug. I believe it is in the allocating and releasing of memory. But further investigation is needed.

As I stated a message or two ago... IF anyone wants to take over just let me know cause I have not been good at this for the past year.

Take care but have fun,

[HTC Rezound] meistfx:
Q.) Whats the most stable Build version for this is there a STABLE build or are they all Nightlys

I've tested "cm-11.0-20150225-UNOFFICIAL-vigor" the "SuSE-12.3 ROM" as listed...tested for a couple days now. says this is a "nightly" in about phone.

I had issues with the dialer app and the system sounds going awol sometimes haveing me to restart as well as google now and google apps trying to update it runs good if u don't update them from market but if u update them I had freezing so I detached them from play store

So other than the frequent sound bug and laggy dial pad only after making a call only thing I noticed I've had issues with was the Camera app bug

I thought that rom I mentioned was the most current, but I just checked today and see there are 2 more newer ones on the host website.

cm-11-20150701-UNOFFICIAL-vigor and cm-11-20150805-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip I'll have to try the aug 05 copy since that seems to be the latest.

Guessing these are both Nightly as well ? if so what rom is the latest stable I can try to find. or would the 20150805 be my best bet.

Thanks for all these KK ROMs btw looks really nice JB is nice but KK is much nicer I will be testing more as I can find more roms unless those are the latest let me know if I missed any.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Sorry I am late again....

Allllllrighty now.... The "latest" and the "lastest" was/is cm-11-20150805-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip. It still suffers from the 3 and out and I am not sure that it will ever get fixed. I keep getting distracted and my latest distraction is my new HTCM10. At this point in time I am trying to learn the "Stock" operation of it. A lot of the features that the "Good ol' boys" have developed since the Rez was introduced have been incorporated into this newest phone. So a developer's version isn't absolutely necessary. YES I still want to fix the problems in the Rez -but- they are not as high on my priority list as they used to be... which I guess weren't that high anyway. The phone kinda got dropped by the industry at ICS and then by CyanogenMod at KitKat. The biggest problem in my book is the lack of vendor files for anything beyond KitKat. There are some that say that those can be used for Lollipop -or- Marshmallow -BUT- I don't see any of them trying it. I and Keith and the Rev and Snuzzie and David tried some work on the 3.4 kernel but that did not flourish.

IF YOU -OR- ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE DESIRE TO TAKE OVER --- PLEASE JUST LET ME/US KNOW AND WE WILL PASS THE REINS.

-Chuck

====================

It is now August 22, 2016 and there have been no replies so... I guess this is somewhat dead. I will still check in and IF you have anything to add please leave a note. In the meantime, even though I said I was not leaving the Rez till it was fixed... I guess we have to say I lied!!! The new HTCM10 was/is to great a temptation and I moved over to it. However, even though it is getting great reviews... like the ReZound did in the beginning... it seems that it might face the same destiny as the Rez.... an orphan. We shall see. Hope I am wrong.

===================

August 29th, 2016 - It has been a long and winding road, fun and I have met some interesting people. -BUT- I must admit that I do not know enough to continue this. And that I have now switched over to my new HTC 10. The software is to old and getting things to work is to difficult. The proper files are NOT being made available. Thanks for all your support... and good-bye to all.

[HTC Rezound] Tani121:
Is there any solution to SMS and ussd?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Can you be more specific? Few people still have this device... The only SMS/MMS issue I was aware of is on some ROMs, mostly stock based, you have to use a 3rd party app like Textra and manually set the APN in the app because the stock app is hard coded to use Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] Tani121:
I am on cm11 can u guide me how to e

Resolve sms issue please
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Like I said before... Need more details, what is the problem, carrier, app, APN, etc. I don't even know of the problem...
[HTC Rezound] Tani121:
Okay the problem is when I try to send SMS I lose signals I am from Pakistan my career is zong using default messaging app of cm11
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
So you type a message and press send and you just lose signal? What signal, 2G, 3G, or ??? Does it comes back, does the message go through, etc... kinda need some details here.

Remember that the Rezound was never intended for GSM use, and it's GSM services are very crippled by it's firmware due to the fact it is a Verizon CDMA branded device. Verizon is not allowed to carrier lock their devices, so in many devices they cripple features that can only be used on other carriers. GSM services is in the proprietary radio blobs, and are common to all ROMs regardless if stock, CM, or something else.
[HTC Rezound] Tani121:
Yup I press send and lose signals and get back signals when reboot SMS never sent I'm on 2g

I can't even get back to my stock ICS backup it stucks at 4glte screen

thanks neo for keeping the rez going. Team venom released their sense5 could u use it to bring sense 5 to the rez? I know raven should be looking into this
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Shouldn't be...

Sense 5 needs ION, IIRC meaning we will not have working Camera. Also team venom says to not kang their builds nor port to other devices.

[MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION], [MENTION=4820415]Tidewater[/MENTION], and [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] thanks for your suggestions.

1) I flashed the boot.img that I extracted from the ROM zip. I am s-on. There was one "loose" on the download page. Which should I have fastboot flashed?

2) When I reflash, which recovery do you recommend? I have the CWMT6... and TWRP 2.6.3.0 (I originally flashed with TWRP 2.6.2.x). If you suggest TWRP 2.6.3.3, where do I get it?

3) I found no process stuck in any kind of sync.

Thanks for all of your help.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Use the boot.img in the ROM zip. As for battery usage, something has to be keeping it awake, check out my last post on how to get battery stats back and use wake lock detector.
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
Quick little PSA, to anyone experiencing audio screeching (or other similar problems) when locking/unlocking the screen:

Edit:

(Recommended and Easiest Method. Thanks to [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] for pointing this out.)

Go to Settings > Sound > Screen lock sound (unchecked)

OR, you can just disable the lock screen:

Go to Settings > Security > Screen Lock > None

OR

Settings > Interface > Quick Settings panel > Tiles and layout > Add > Lock Screen

Note: Alternatively, you could use a similar method, such as a Secure Settings toggle, but that's only important if you use any actual type of security (i.e. A pin code, or pattern).

The problem seems to be the lock screen sound, itself, so by disabling it, the audio screeching is no longer an issue. :) Hope this helps! I'm sure that there's already some commit to fix this, but I haven't checked and there isn't a new build available, anyways. Enjoy your weekend, everyone, and please let me know if this solves the issue! :D

Thanks, again, to [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] for the first option! :D
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Does disabling lock screen sounds help? I use PIN lock and I believe have that off, no noises.
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
Oh, wow. That's just so much simpler! :silly: That fixed it! I never tried it, because I actually like that little click, but that's all it takes! xD Thank you. :D

What about this one? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/add-screen-recording-to-your-kitkat-project-rom/

you can get both twrp 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.3 in its own thread in Rezound Original Android Development....flashing with an older twrp can cause problems...they are updated for their reasons....in the second post of this thread there is instructions for s-on users...i do reccommend being s-off for kitkat though

So doing this on Monday :D Thanks for the link! I had attempted to implement it originally with Koush's commits but it never worked. This sounds promising.

I don't wanna be that guy but has CM added anything back that it would be worth doing a new build? :D

When I switch to ART, does it need to be the first thing I do on the rom? Also, do I install Gapps AFTER I switch to ART?

Lastly, do most other play store apps work with ART?

no SD card

Okay, so I'm s-off, blah blah blah. Flashed about 2 hours ago and I've a new problem. It decided to erase my SD card (somehow) and now it's not recognizing any sd card. I've tried others with no luck. Since I've lost my backups, I just want to start fresh with something else that works, but I can't download anything (it keeps telling me I have no SD card.

Ideas?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Boot to recovery, mount SD, re format your card through windows. Also switch your recovery to back up to the external SD. I've been burnt before for the same reason.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
You might be able to adb side load a Rom. I forgot the commands, but the search function works wonders.

[HTC Rezound] pdolo5784:
im having problems with instagram, facebook my espn fantasy football app...on certains screens i receive a black screen
[HTC Rezound] Phiqzer:
Yeah, I lost internal SD as well as the add card issue.

And I'd love to side load via adb, if I could download something to memory.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
thats what i did....i posted the steps i did exactly and my outcome had no issues
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Is it always like that or are they random issues? Is the app usable at all?
[HTC Rezound] marcusdavidhall:
I'm assuming it's the same issue with the Black screens in Gmail. Anything HTML, right??

(I'm a noob)
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
It's a problem with CM generally right now. There are some display issues mentioned in the OP. If you are seeing a black screen within any app (just about) it stems from that display issue. It's the same as your email app not working. The reason is that those apps depend on HTML (it's a bit more arcane than that, but you get the gist).

[HTC Rezound] pdolo5784:
yes its useable to an extent...u can see the post on ur wall and everything...only thing i come across is if i go to a friends profile in fb and try to look at their photos..that page is black,..not a big deal..other than that the app is fine...in instagram, u can see everyones post...but when u check ur new notifications to see who liked what, commented or followed you that screen is black

but i am having terrible battery life with the stock kernel so i may switch kernals or go back to taychon or whatever it was spelt lol

You need to see what wake locks you have, it works well with the stock kernel.

i have read earlier to check the google settings and see whats syncing, i have all that off..,.how else would i check wake locks? betterbatterystat? i might also use greenify

Wakelock Detector in the Play Store

betterbatterystats will work after you go into the advanced settings and enable the root option. Wakelock Detector won't work with KitKat yet unless you also do this - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bring-back-battery-statistics-on-kitkat-with-xposed-module/

Where is the github??

Hello Neo,

Got my System back together again and would like to try this new CM11 building. Two questions:

Where can we find the repo github?? -And- did you switch to Java 7 for this one. There is a mention that it has been "updated" to use Java 7.

Oh, one other question... repo init -u git://github.com/vigor/android.git -b cm-10.2 still valid?? We tried to compile it and failed miserably. In our restoration we tried to install Java 6u45 but either we goofed or the code is not correct. We got farther last time with Java 7. Anyway, if you have the info we requested ... thanks.

Thanks,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] stankopp:
am having all kinds of trouble with this ROM.

I tried switching to ART:

Clean flashed using TWRP 2.6.3.3

Installed PA Gapps

The system booted, upon boot, the phone com has stopped working

Now I cannot even get a backup to boot.

If I clean flash the latest ROM and Gapps (not PA), when it comes to the point of setting up CM and google "unfortunately the google keybord has stopped.

At this point I am phone-less.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] pioneersohpioneers:
Make sure you're flashing the correct Gapps. I was initially having similar issues, due to that. My process was:

Clean flash from TWRP 2.6.3.3

DO NOT flash Gapps, boot into rom.

Do the CM setup

Switch to ART

Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik & cache a few times

Flash Gapps

boot into ROM, let it set everything up. you should have a functional system, though I still do receive 'com.google.gapps crashed' every now and again.
[HTC Rezound] stankopp:
Thanks for the advice. I had already clean flashed again without installing Gapps and got back to a functional system.

If I try ART again, I will use your method.

Thanks again.

when i had this error...2.6.3.3 is what caused it...as i wiped it using that...i freaked cuz nothing in that version fixed it...so i tried 2.6.3.0 and wiped in that and luckily resolved the issue for me lol....flashed back to twrp 2.6.3.3 and never wipe any of the sdcards again with that version

Stuck in boot animation

After installing the rom from the SD card, my phone gets stuck in the boot animation. I have done the following:

(Phone already had clockwork mod installed from when I installed CM 10.2)

Downloaded the 24.Nov version of the ROM from the link provided in initial post

Downloaded boot.img from the same page.

Placed the ROM and previously mentioned boot.img in the root of a spare 1GB SD card.

Verified the MD5 matches

Rebooted into recovery

Wiped ALL data/factory reset (x2)

Wiped /data (x2)

Wiped /cache (x2)

Wiped Dalvik-cache (x2)

Wiped /boot (x2)

Wiped /system (x2)

Wiped battery stats (x2)

Wiped rotate settings (x2)

Installed ROM from root of SD card.

Waited about 2 minutes until " Install from sdcard complete. " appears

Rebooted phone

Waited 10 minutes

It is at this point the phone gets stuck in the boot animation.

I have taken the boot.img from the same page that the rom was downloaded from and placed boot.img in the root of cm-11-20131124-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip (thereby replacing the original boot.img)

re-performed all wiping steps

Installed modified zip file, but the message states

E:Can't find update script

Installation aborted
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
You must be s-on and need to Fastboot flash the boot.img

Also I'm guessing you are using amon ra and should either use twrp or cwm
