[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Hello... I am back ... again!!

Hopefully today I will get my newest system setup and running. It will take me a few days... and maybe a couple of weeks to get everything up and working -BUT- I WILL get back into the Rez and building the OS ROMs. -AND- hopefully fixing the things that are wrong. I've had some failures on my daily Rez that I have NOT experienced before. So purchasing the "used one" may have been an unknown blessing. (I now have two HTC ReZounds)

Maybe some of you have experienced the problem. You pull the phone out of the case and it is hot.. and pressing the Power/Lock button does NOT bring up the screen. It just stays black. Only fix is to take it apart and remove the battery, let it set for a few and then put the battery back in, put it back together and turn it on.

I talked to Neo, Rev and group and they are surprised I am still using it.:p Anywho, the newer phones -and- the newer versions of Android have NOT impressed me all that much. I dragged my feet leaving ICS. Now we have Lollipop and Marchmallow with 'N' being discussed. Jelly been wasn't around long enough and only gets this little mention. KitKat(CM11) has been good to me and I/we may be stuck with it.

I also sent off another request to HTC for sources to the "Vendor Proprietary Code" that contains some specific Camera code. We may have to disassemble it in order to get the necessary info if they still will not co-operate. I did that years ago in the PC's. It is tuff but can be done IF I can get the right tools together. I was working on that last year before I got taken away by work -and- my puppy.

Now then, as I said, or think I did, in previous messages... I got a new puppy last April 1st. (fools day for me!! more involved than I thought or remembered) What I got was/is a GSD/Husky which is ... as I have learned ... a high energy dog, and this one is very high. Both because of his breed -and- because he is still a puppy and will be for, possibly, another year. Feb 24th was his first birthday. In order of priorities... My Lord, my family, my dog, my part time job at McDonalds, my computer systems and then the ReZound/Android. Hopefully that can be acceptable. Now those were listed in order of most important to the least -BUT- time will not necessarily be alotted that way. You know as well as I do that it never is. One thing always interferes with another. There will be days that the Rez is in top spot ... for a time.

Now then, I am not braggin' but --- oh hell yes I am. I just got a new system. It is not brand, brand new -but- is a refurbished HP 700-530qe. It has a 3.6Ghz Intel i7-4790 processor with 1TB of HDD and 16GB of RAM. It will have 32GB of RAM and 3TB of HDD by the time I am finished. I am replacing my 9 year old HP m7480n with this new one. Nine years ... it has been a very, very good system to me... and it will probably remain in operation for at least a couple of months. Yes I did get another i7 in October of 2014 but it was in addition to my 'old' one. I have them setup to use the same keyboard and monitor. Just press a button and I am on the other PC. Going to keep that concept but with two i7's instead of only one. The 7480 was getting to outdated and now with Windows 10 and the fact that the Original OS for it, WinXP has been abandoned by Microsoft... it is time to retire it.

I will try to check in more often -BUT- as the above verbiage states ... I will be occupied for at least the next two weeks with these systems. Hopefully this April 1st will NOT be another fools day for me -but- one of new computer enlightenment.
