Still here and will continue to be. Just flashed latest with gapps and so far so good (since yesterday morning), haven't played with the camera though... Data seems perfect. Anyone know of a way to get all the apps and setting back once you flash a new ROM.. Its so painful to get it back to the way I like it, takes a week... Oh well.

I'll be with the rezound for a while, just got it this January from a coworker that upgraded, so I'll be here at least a year or two until someone else I know upgrades (they call me the 2nds man, all my phones are someone else's seconds).

Many thanks to all the Devs that keep this going, wish I had something to help or even the time to dedicate to give back, your hard work is greatly appreciated here.

Please... Please .... Read.

I am very, very, very happy to get the great response that we have had thus far on the USER's wanting to be added to my list of USER's. HOWEVER, before I get in lots of trouble ... PLEASE PM(Private Message) me to be added. These extra messages are messing up these very informative web pages. Please don't make me sorry I started this count.:o

Thanks to all,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I'm watching you.... O_O

Haha. Actually, it's only a problem if the OP has a problem with it. Since it's the developer's thread, it's up to the developer as to whether OT is allowed in it. It's always allowed in mine for future reference (however, this one isn't mine any more ;) )
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Coolness...

Thanks Neo - but anything further on this, we too, should obey the "unwritten rule" to use a PM.:p

Take care and thanks again... and again for all your help,

Current code May 4th, 2014

Allllllrighty now.... IF it matters to anyone, the code in CyanogenMod and our Vigor is ALL good except the Camcorder. I wiped my clone and init repo'd the dir, performed the two Cherrypics and then the Build. Not sure IF the second Cherry is required now-a-days but I like the Spinning Wheel inside a Spinning Wheel.:o

So, IF anyone else wants to setup and create a build of their own... the code is good.... except for the Camcorder. Oh, and you may have to install and use Chad's proximity Calibrator.

Thanks and have fun,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
I've come across a new issue but it might just be me not understand how to do something properly.

I open my calendar and pick a day to create a reminder at. I tap a time and pick New Event, it asks me to add an account. The choice are either HaxSync (used to sync FB to contacts) and CyanogenMod. I feel like there should be a google option. Regardless, picking either of these does nothing, and I am not allowed to create reminders.

I CAN add them through Google Now and saying "Remind me to... etc" but I can't change anything about them like ringer. These Google Now reminds are not calendar events either way.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
you using google calendar? or cyanogenmod calendar app that came with rom?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Stock calendar app. I don't necessarily want Google calendar itself, but I feel like stock one shouldn't be refusing to work.

Edit: Actually I just tried Google Calendar and I don't really like it either. I essentially want something that I can set an alarm on specific days rather then "every tuesday" or something. My normal alarm app will only let me set recurring alarms or something within the next 24 hours. Any recommendations?
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
For alarms, I use timely. See if that will work for you.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Not as far as I can tell, it will only allow me to set an alarm within the next 24 hours.
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Did you by any chance flashed the Banks GApps Minimal package? If yes, did you also flash 'AOSP Calendar Sync'?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
That may be the problem, I'll go flash that and see if it works afterwards. However, I wonder if that would even give me the functionality I'm looking for.

Edit: Yeah, I'm not able to set a ringtone with the event. I don't get it, I could have sworn it always had this functionality before. I used to do this for all sorts of things I had to remember to do.
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
I have timely and I currently have multiple alarms set. Some for "every tuesday", some set for all weekdays, others are set to "tomorrow at 6" kind of affairs... is that not what you needed? It certainly is not limited to only 24 hours. Once you create a new one for a given time, click it again and it should bring up all the settings you're looking for.

Another really good (though slightly less slick UI) is Alarm Clock Extreme. I moved from that to this when Google bought timely.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
That's not what I need. What I want to be able to do is... Let's say I want to set an alarm for June 2nd to ring at 3:00pm.
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
ya, then for that you need calendar. Which I use Google calendar via play store and sync it fine with my calendars I have setup through my Google account.

With that you could setup for "date at x-time" type of thing... you can setup more complex things like "every 15th day at x-time" through the web/desktop Google calendar.

I think though that the problem will come in if you want any calendar app to do more than alert once... there isn't a snooze option like an alarm... If that makes sense.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
I don't see any possible way to make Google calendar play a ringtone on the specified time. All it does is give me a notification of which I can change the tone for, but that is very different from a ringer.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Google Calendar won't play a "Ringtone". It will however play any of your notification tones at any time of day set for any day of the year provided it's set in the future and not the past (given). If you want it to play a specific ringtone, you can copy it from the ringtone directory and paste it into the directory with the notifications, reboot, then set it in the calendar's general settings.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Any more on this ??

Hello Snuzzo, Are you still planning on this ... or has it been dropped??? I know of at least 26 people who would be interested.

Thanks,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if im not mistaken he could of been referring to plain andy at that time...its a mix of alot of various sources
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Ok, I'll take a look -but- I'm sorry to say that the last time I tried Plain Andy I wasn't all that impressed. Not that I can do any better ... cause I can't -but- I do believe what we have here is great. The only thing that would make the Plain Andy better would be a working Camcorder... which did not work there either ... last time I checked. So, hopefully I am wrong...

Thanks,

Chuck

Edit: Well, I was talkin' out my a--. Haven't tried Plain Andy yet... thought I did -but- I didn't. Anywho, I just looked at it and read all the posts and I'm not so sure that I want to mess with the Recovery. In order to install Plain Andy you must install another Recovery called PhilZ Touch. Thought an install was just an install and can't see why it won't work with TWRP. Also, after reading the "whole" post I found nothing that said the Camcorder was working ... only a couple of questions asking about it. Never a reply as to yeah or nay. So, I will just stay here. I never used the Camcorder anyway.:p

Someone should think about updating the codecs in msm8660 on the main HTC Rezound github.

FFMPEG: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/commit/08bfcb3644fbf7574eac1e3f6117df617970f2b8 than https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/commit/f1deb14ac0f163aa5a9f3e4f2561f238bbafc125

Codec to be added: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63469/

I'm currently testing the codecs on a different ROM :p some people are having issues with the codec so test well before release to public :thumbup:
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Thanks but....

.... why would we want to update the codecs when others are having problems?? I know you do good work... so what is the reason for us wanting the new codecs??? Do they have the "fix" for the Camcorder?? If so they might be worth a look. But when I looked I didn't see anything describing anything. Just a bunch of Greek to me.

Thanks a 'bunch'...:)

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I don't think everyone is having issues but I've seen some that are, the codec addition for then device is optional. But it just adds playback for extra formats

Shouldn't help camcorder but more support for different media file types or extra way to decode them doesn't sound like a bad idea

If we were to add this to the vigor repos it should be tested before releasing to everyone

When cm added ffmpeg support and other ROMs were adopting it and devices are testing and using it, i thought vigor should join the fun :thumbup:
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
I have to admit I'm curious about this, I use ro.telephony.default_network = 0 to make GSM work on my phone and not 8, but I know another person in another thread who uses GSM and also said they had to use 8.

If you have the time, could you enter *#*#INFO#*#* into the dialer and go to phone info and tell me what it says is your "preferred network type" ?

Mine is "WCDMA Preferred" when I use 0.

Which carrier are you on?

The "Not working" post in Plain-Andy thread says:

That sounds to me like recording is *not* fine and produces corrupted videos, which crash the phone when they're played. I see no reason for recorded videos that cannot be played so the problem must be on the recording side surely? Same as every other KK Vigor ROM then?

I tried Plain Andy once and PhilZ Touch/CWM is just a pain to use to me now that I'm hooked on TWRP :highfive:, so I'd like to not have to try it again just for the camcorder but if I have the time I'll try it anyway to make sure (and play the videos on my PC to be sure). Maybe this sunday.

Camcorder isn't something I use often, in fact I use it rarely, but it's something I consider a must-have anyway. I don't want to be at a party for example and wanting to record memorable stuff and have to reboot my phone after every 3 successive videos. ;)

Speaking of which, is there anything we users could do to help the devs with that camcorder issue? Would a logcat help or is it more complicated than that?
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
Did you install the calendar sync zip file? I don't know if that will solve your problem or not but it might help.

[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Fix for twrp which I've not posted

Unmount system prior to flash. To fix the camcorder in p-a I have to recompile a build which in its current state is unbuildable. Could work fine if someone were to build an AnyKernel plus flashable of updated libs. I'm pretty much burnt out and done with any kind of android modding and back to being an end user again.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Maybe "we" can...

I am in the same boat. Have rarely used it but would like the option... since it is there. Now then I have an idea. I just wiped my build area and re-sync'd it. This gives me a date and time ALL relatively the same. From 2:38 to 2:46 on the same day. Now I have waited a couple of hours, cause I fell asleep... and now when I run the "cherrypicks" that "fix" the camera problem that we have had... which I don't know what It was... but the files that get changed will have this time of the pick run. I saw this by accident a couple of days ago and just now thought to try it. It will, hopefully show us the areas of a concern... -or- at least a place to start.

Because of Doctor appointments and computer customers ... this may take a day or two -but- I will get back on it.

Thanks,

Chuck

Didn't there used to be a way of marking certain WiFi networks as "mobile hotspots" so it didn't mess with your location while you are connected to it and moving around (like for vacations, etc)? I can't seem to find that in the settings menu anymore... :(

A big thanks...

....for all that you have done. However, would like you to continue checking in. I, and I'm sure many others, would like to ask some questions...

No experience, but since no one else has chimed in... First, I assume you installed this on your Rezound, and not your HTC One M8. Have you checked out this thread? Enable North American UMTS/HSPA bands (3G data on AT&T) It's an older thread, but may lead you in the right direction.

Actually I'm thinking it may be a cm11 issue because when I went back to cm10.1 everything is fine. That's the Rom I was on before trying cm11

Try switching the "ro.telephony.default_network = " line in build.prop to 0 instead of 8. 0 works for me in Europe, but other people using GSM have said they have to use 8 in the USA.

Welcome back my friend... any word on this Camcorder problem?? -AND- mostly is there anything that I could do to help?? Something that you want researched and don't have time?? I'll finish my latest PC repair tomorrow so I will be free again... Got the "Kitchen" setup but I'm not sure how much that will help. But... whatever.

I haven't looked at this at all. I actually just took back the thread as I will have time to produce builds and reven will not. Hopefully I'll have time to dive back in to fixing the problems with the camcorder. Any research is of course appreciated on by anyone :)

too all the rezound users using cm11....sorry i had to step down for developement on this rom...with a child just weeks away from birth and pulling extra at work i have very limited time on android for a tiny bit....i will still work on my other developements as well as hopefully fixing camcorder once and for all soon on the rezound...i enjoy helping all of you when i can as you are a very welcoming and friendly community...to the other devs and those who also build and contribute you always have my respect as well...could not ask for a better community / devs anywhere else
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Thanks for all your efforts...

Ok, I have been experimenting and investigating... and reading. Think that someone else on another site said that they got the Camera/Camcorder to work with "Google Camera". So I tried it. Yep! It does work ... but only three times. How-some-ever, It DOES start in portrait mode -and- the result is viewable. You can rotate the camera while you are recording -and- it doesn't matter the position when you start it. So that is a "partial" fix. Perhaps grabbing that code will help?? When I stopped the recording on number 3... I got a message that the "Camera has stopped." -And- I couldn't record any more. That was the first time I saw that message. Could have been there before.

Ok, I tried again and did NOT get the stopped message -but- after the third one it would not save the fourth. Now it "looked' like it was recording but it would not save it. This Google Camera doesn't have that same failure as the built in one... hmmmm, which is probably/ no is the one that Google Camera is using.:o . The Camera is part of the OS??:confused:? Anywho, hope that is a help and I will keep looking. Any suggestions on places to research would be appreciated.

Thanks to all,

Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
This is because the problem has noting to do with any Camera and and everything to do with our device source. Thanks for your experiments Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
[MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION] brought it to my attention earlier today that there has been a code option in place since 2012 that is flag activated which can be activated to tell the system not to cache textures if they're expected to use a lot of VRAM (rmcc). There is also a flag option to make the system use RGB565 instead of ARGB8888 as RGB565 uses considerably less memory.

This flag being used together with the texture caching should allow a smooth bootanimation on not so powerful devices (such as the Rezound) and hopefully save us memory on boot.

That being said, I have committed the two flags and am building now without reverting to the older (much cooler imo) bootanimation mostly in an effort to drop our forced cherry-picking from 2 to 1 commit and free up memory (which anyone can appreciate). I can't guarantee (and do not expect) it to resolve our Camcorder Playback issue but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

It's somewhat surprising that nobody picked up on this option since back then but, then again, the problem only surfaced at the introduction to the new boot animation in cm-11.0.

I'll post it up when it completes built in about 45 min or so (provided it completes without incident).

-Neo
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
05/19/14 Build is out!

05/19/14 Build is out!

Would have posted this hours earlier but got side-tracked with other work.

This version should now have the original boot animation meant for cm-11. Let me know if Camera, Camcorder, and video playback work at least the same as they have been with the recent releases.

Thanks,

Neo

Tested Camera, Camcorder, & video playback. Camera seems fine. Camcorder has same results as previous versions. First video vertical orientation results in scrambled unplayable video, switching to portrait orientation for 2nd video made playable video. Will not record after 3 videos without reboot. All vertical orientation videos scrambled.

Also takes about 1 minute after phone has rebooted before I have network connection; can't remember if that's normal for this rom, but seems slow.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Oh Darn... I didn't get to be the first..

Oh well... I did get different results though. I wiped the phone... clean install. After installing Build_5-19 I installed 3-22_Gapps_Minimal. Upon reboot I let it recover ... all my desires... thru Google.

Installed and used the Google Camera -from Google Play-. Camcorder would start in portrait or horizontal -AND- the resultant videos were totally viewable. NO distortion. -BUT- could only get three to record and save the results. The fourth plus would act like they were recording but did not save. They did NOT have the start stop behavior like has been experienced after the 3rd.

So far the rest of the stuff is working. Haven't tested it all... yet.

Thanks,

Not too much to report on for me moving from 4/30 after a dirty flash with cache wipes. I still have the quick pull down lockup from time to time. Also stock browser will lockup on my after unlocking my phone and going back to a page I was reading. Have to long hold the home button and reopen browser to get it working again. When it the browser lock happens, the bottom half of my screen goes black where the keyboard would usually be In portrait mode. Sometimes the key notification popup goes missing and I can't see what I'm typing either. I'm glad that we are still getting support for the latest and greatest on a seemingly ancient phone but there are a fair amount of bugs that are annoying on this ROM. What's more, I feel like its only be me getting them as everyone else reports the ROM are fine with the exception of the camcorder issue. Can anyone that gets any of the issues that I just reported reply to this so I don't feel like I'm loosing my mind? I'm really not complaining as much as I am trying to figure out if any of my issues are user error related rather than ROM related.

Also, welcome back Neo.

Respect and thanks to all involved with this mod. I just installed along with GAPPS and the camera and gmail seem to be working (had read they weren't maybe that's fixed now). Anyways my main phone is a Moto X but I keep my Rezound around for international travel. I really wanted tethering ability so thanks for making this rom!
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
The "Camera" does work ok... it is the "Camcorder" that does not work properly. It will only store 3 to 5 recordings and then it quits storing them until you reboot. Don't want you traveling and thinking that you have a recorder. :p Well you do... but.

Thanks,

Well go figure I'm not as special as I thought. :) Funny thing is my 3+ year old Rezound has a better camera than my Moto X.

Yeah, the camera is one of the reasons I picked the ReZound. However, it is "only" 2+ years old... not 3. It was released on Nov 14th, 2011.

Imho, the camera on the rezound is better than htc one and Samsung s5, which is the reason I am not upgrading yet.

Why in the world would someone want to video in portrait. We have two horizontally placed eyes.

I am using the Google play camera which is great for pictures, including sphere, and I can trust for three videos a day. I set my phone to reboot nightly to ensure this.
[HTC Rezound] dsiglin:
Tried out the Google Camera last night and colored me impressed. The blur background with selective focusing is *almost* light field camera worthy but a lot more convenient. Great for doing street portraits.

Quick question. So I'm going to Italy soon and they use the correct band (1800). I saw from the FAQ that this ROM is GSM capable, however I don't see a GSM option under Mobile Networks. Just a Global option. Is that the same thing? I'm going to guess besides selecting that I'll have to put in the APN information for whatever Italian carrier I buy a sim from?
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
It will work fine using this ROM. I used a TIM sim there in September and the service was great from Rome into Tuscany and back. Service was mainly HSDPA. Make sure you activate and get the sim from a TIM store and not a convenience store as the TIM store with activate it right away. I had to wait 48 hours plus to get the sim activated from a convenience store with a big language barrier. Data is cheap too as I recall. I think you can get 200 minuets plus 10 gigs of data for 25 euro. You will need your passport to get the sim and prepaid plan so make sure you have it with you. FYI if you use whatsapp or bbm, you can continue to communicate with your contacts on your Verizon number even though you are using a foreign sim. Just don't reactivate or uninstall and reinstall whatsapp with your foreign sim in. Better than international SMS.

Edit: yes you will have to enter the carriers APN as well.
