Wow.

First, I must give a huge thanks to Neo. I simply can't believe that I'm running KitKat on my Rezound - it is stupendous. Easily a daily driver. I'm just astounded. I cheated on my Rez a little bit and test drove a Note 2 but I went back, and my daily was Liquid. I pop in from time to time and was thrilled to see this ROM.

I am S-Off, running the recommended radios and HBOOT, and did super-clean installs (CWM, 01/12 build) with nothing but GApps installed. Here are my findings.

Awesome

- I own one of the "defective" Rezounds, i.e. - battery/system get too hot at times, causing the phone to lock up. (Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's a well known issue) I've tried every ROM from CleanROM years ago to the contemporary, and they all lock up on this specific device. Amazingly, I've used this ROM for a week and the phone has absolutely never locked up. Amazing in and of itself.

- Everything is simply faster. Which is to be expected reading about KitKat in general.

- Reception is amazing. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I live in a Verizon dead-zone...my LTE speeds at home are usually around ~400k up/down, but with this ROM they are ~1.2k. I know that's not amazing LTE speed (I get ~35+ up at work) but it's a vast improvement, and that's with the same radios. Bravo.

Somewhat Inawesome

- 9/10 times the lock screen disappears. (Previously reported, not a huge issue because it still functions with blind-swiping)

- Still have the notification swipe frozen halfway once or twice a day

- Stock browser force closes when scrolling through Google Images. This seems random, as sometimes I can scroll through 10 images before it force closes or 2, but it is guaranteed to happen eventually

- Not a huge issue either, but Launcher force closes when changing wallpaper-> Pick Image->Recent. Works fine otherwise.

- Previously reported, but I can't get Calendar nor Google Calendar to sync

That's pretty much it so far. Very stoked that devs are still working on this device! :good:

Bluetooth phone is ok but Bluetooth and Pandora was nothing but skips. Not a deal breaker as I usually use nexus tethered off rezound to Pandora.

Automateit pro, anyone using with occasional difficulties with this Rom?

1/12 daily driver, love it, actually spending more time on Rezound than nexus 713

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Installed and so happy to have the new 4.4.2 :) And as I've seen most thing work :)

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

There's no home screen settings is there? I've looked and can't find it. If not it fine, I can work around, But I was just wondering.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Use nova launcher. It will bring that back and you can have the kitkat look and more
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Okay, Will do thanks man.
[HTC Rezound] dbchristensen:
Had the same issue with the calendar syncing... flashing the "calendar sync" zip took care of it. You can find it here: http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2/1-16_AOSP_Calendar_Sync_4.4.2_signed.zip
[HTC Rezound] nolig2278:
Click and hold in home screen empty space then click settings.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Don't forget you can also change launchers from play store...I prefer using nova launcher even in KitKat as it's more customizable than stock cm or google launcher

Check your PM when you get a chance
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
I guess I'm alone with this problem. I'll see if I can figure out how to roll back to older radios and see if that helps.
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
I want to try art but am afraid I'm going to do it wrong because last time I tried, all my gapps crashed and I had to switch back to dalvik between crashes. I have the art compatible gapps downloaded and I am on the 1/12 build with the latest clockworkmod recovery, and s-off. What do I need to wipe to remove old gapps and switch to the art compatible gapps? I'm also hoping I can avoid having to re-download my other apps and login again. Do I need to switch to art then flash the gapps? I know there's some amazing developers in here that could give me some step by step instructions so I don't screw it up and yet enjoy the benefits of art. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Wipe system, install the latest CM again, boot, turn on Art, boot to recovery, flash gapps. This has worked for some people, if it doesn't for you, a clean wipe is your next option.
[HTC Rezound] 4218kris:
Art doesn't work well with twrp? And I just had to flash an ruu because my phone wasn't booting anymore not even to recovery just bootloader. so what is the recommended radio and hboot versions?
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
A better gapps to use is probably 20140105. Can be found at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

direct link http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
ART has nothing to do with your recovery. As for hboot and radios, go with the latest.
[HTC Rezound] 4218kris:
Sorry confused cm with cwm. And yes I understand I need the latest versions of radio and hboot what versions are they so I can get the right ones? Everyone just says I have the latest version but never say what they are.
[HTC Rezound] power950:
Hey is there any way to flash your recovery without a compute my phones micro USB port is broken so I can't charge from it or plug my phone into my computer and I always changed Recovery's by "fastboot flash recovery.img" on my computer so is there a way to do it without my computer I am s off if that helps thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Since ur s-off I'm sure you could just make a PH98IMG.zip with the recovery in it and flash in bootloader
[HTC Rezound] nolig2278:
any gapps should be fine as running play will prompt for updating old apps right?
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
1/7 has been pretty stable for me. A few issues I've noticed:

-Waking phone when plugged in sometimes results in black screen. Sleep, unplug, and wake works.

-Apps seem to occasionally freeze, but no FCs.

Not an issue but I've noticed memory management is really good. CM10.2 has a horrible memory leak. I'm generally at 50-60% usage on this ROM, vs 90-95% on 10.2.

Had some other quirks but I forget. Performance is good. Battery life sucks even with few wakelocks...most likely my battery.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
as long as your matching the gapps android version with android verion you are going to be using for your rom than yes, Also after flashing gapps the apps that come with it will be updated automatically from the playstore if nessesary.

Just going to give you a direct link to the cm11 gapps by CM that was already linked to you just in case your confused on which link to use because there were 2 links posted

Page Plus user here - little help?

Hey guys. I recently had my phone flashed to Page Plus, which works great in the stock ROM with no SIM card. However, when I try to flash this ROM, specifically the 1/12 build, I can't use voice, texting, or data.

I first tried CM 11 a few days ago. Initially, on first boot of CM 11, I seemed to have service (saw bars of signal) but no data. Trying to figure out why, I took a look in the Mobile Network section of the settings as well as the *#*#INFO#*#* menu, both of which reflected that I was on CDMA and not LTE (the *#*#INFO#*#* screen was set on "CDMA auto (PRL)"). But bizarrely, at some point in there, the phone stopped showing that it had service at all.

Giving up, I restored my nandroid and moved back to the stock ROM. I still had no signal, so I fired up DFS and saw that both ports were set to RUIM only (basically, it was trying to read its CDMA info from only the Verizon SIM card--which I don't have--instead of from the NVRAM). After changing that setting to look at the NVRAM, everything started working again. I would've done this in CM 11, except I don't think I can enter diag mode from there.

Today, I was feeling courageous and tried reinstalling CM 11. Got the same thing, both SIMless and with a non-Verizon SIM: the phone still registered no signal at all. So I restored my nandroid again and re-changed the settings in DFS to get service back in Sense. Can anyone help me out?

- Why is this ROM seemingly overwriting my settings telling the phone that it doesn't need a SIM card?

- Is there a way I don't know of to enter diag mode from CM 11?

Thanks. The interface on this ROM is super smooth--I'm sure I'd love it if I could get my phone to work as a, y'know, phone. :)
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
I just did this without a computer by first downloading "rom manager" and flashing clockworkmod recovery thru the app. It's a good thing you are s-off or it would not work without plugging in to a computer. After flashing recovery you should be able to use rom manager to install custom roms without plugging in to a computer. Also there is supposed to be a way to get clockworkmod downloaded via the web

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

These gapps are art compatible?
[HTC Rezound] nolig2278:
multimedia messages just get stuck "downloading" anything I can do? These are messages that are going to a group. I do get picture messages
[HTC Rezound] LyricWulf:
Gmail and Netflix work for me on the latest PHEM build :D

RAM gets cluttered eventually, though, and I sometimes get SOD.

But other than that, it's really smooth for a Rezound ROM.

EDIT: Meant hybrid, not PHEM.
[HTC Rezound] nolig2278:
I am using gapps-kk-12031031, ox that ok?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] flashjh:
Amazing

This ROM brought life back to my Rezound! Other folks make fun of me using this 'old' phone, but I love it. It's like new again, thanks for taking the time to make it.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It's hybrid now, everything is running under ION except the camera.
[HTC Rezound] LyricWulf:
Oh, silly me. I'll edit the post. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] DCnovicky:
Is there a way to fast charge that I'm not aware of ? Seems like it takes forever to charge compared to how fast it can drain. Using oem wall charger....
[HTC Rezound] nolig2278:
mine feels like it charges too fast, no matter which charger i use
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Wall charger should already be in "fast" mode.
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I was able to answer my own question, with help from this post about the HTC One. Voice/SMS and data are now working.

Based on the information in the linked post, I found that a setting of 0 meant RUIM, and 1 meant NV. So I adb pulled that settings.db file to my Mac and used the sqlite3 command to edit it with SQL:

sqlite> .tables
android_metadata bookmarks secure
bluetooth_devices global system
sqlite> .headers ON
sqlite> select * from global where name like '%subscrip%';
_id|name|value
51|subscription_mode|0
sqlite> update global set value = 1 where _id = 51;
sqlite> select * from global where name like '%subscrip%';
_id|name|value
51|subscription_mode|1

There's a related setting in build.prop, as well:

# Set CDMA SUBSCRIPTION SOURCE to RUIM in Database for this device
ro.telephony.default_cdma_sub=0

And finally, I found that Evervolv has a GUI setting that this ROM doesn't: Settings -> Mobile Networks -> CDMA subscription. However, data doesn't work in Evervolv.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Does evervolv data work for you? If so, I know what's going on.
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
Unfortunately not. :/ Both AOSP 4.4 ROMs behave the same after I change the CDMA subscription setting, whether through the GUI or through the sqlite file. But what are you thinking? It might be helpful...
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
When I built evervolv I fixed a few issues to get the mobile networks section back to the way its supposed to be. Is it possible you need a different APN?
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I suppose that's possible. I'd read that APNs weren't relevant because Page Plus is CDMA only, so I wasn't looking at the APN too much. I could try playing with it, though. I do know that I get 3G on an unchanged Verizon APN in Sense.
[HTC Rezound] DCnovicky:
so I just noticed something.... when booted in the ROM my battery read 85%, when booted in TWRP it read 96%....I flashed CWM to do a battery stats wipe, even though i've been told this does nothing more than a reboot would, but couldn't find the option to do so...any thought mjones?
[HTC Rezound] thethriller:
HORRENDOUS battery life

Now let me preface this by saying that I am not on the latest Hboot/Radios, and I'd like to know if this is likely the cause. (Hboot 2.27.0000, Radio 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r, S-ON)

Since switching to 4.4 (with the 1/7 build) I have had absolutely horrible battery life with next to no usage. I would lose 50% of my Extended Battery 2750mAH over the course of 6-7 hours with only a handful of times turning the screen on. We're talking 5 minutes of screen on. According to android battery information the WiFi is the highest battery use by a large margin. The attached screenshot is a sample image, and that Voice calls entry is a 9.5 minute phone call, that is all! Also during this time I went an entire other day with the WiFi completely turned off, and WiFi was STILL the highest battery drain for the day.... What?!

So anyway, I had the 1/7 build on the phone for about a week and had similar battery life results, 12 hours of minimal use on my extended battery is unbelievable. A few days ago I switched to the 1/12 build and the results are virtually no different, so I grabbed BetterBatteryStats to see a little more what was going on. The first thing I noticed was that the phone almost never enters deep sleep. I fiddled around with disabling some features I.E. sync, weather apps, etc that may be causing wakelocks and eventually (sometimes) got the phone to enter deep sleep when turning the screen off for periods of time. What BBS tells me is that "PowerManagerService.WakeLocks", and one of the google services tracing back to Sound Search for Google Play is eating mad battery. Also, occasionally Sound Search for Google Play FC's...

So my question is (since it seems no one else has mentioned similar problems), are my older radios causing this or may something else be going on here?

Did you make sure Background WiFi Location (I don't remember the exact name, the feature that scans for WiFi networks to improve location even if WiFi is disabled) was unchecked?
[HTC Rezound] DCnovicky:
Using BMW I can confirm its in AC mode when charging. Any other relevant stats to look at within the app? I did notice it first estimated that it would take 4 hours to charge but then dropped to 2 hours after a minute or so...
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I'd make sure the phone is sleeping ok, something may be awake eating up power. When you plug it in and let it sit with the screen off for a bit, what's the mA reading?
[HTC Rezound] _litz:
Google Now's location service is pretty infamous for chewing up battery ... it's that "use wifi for location even when wifi is off" thing.
[HTC Rezound] Dreistul:
Fixed my problem. I had messed around with my build.prop device type settings for a game I was playing. Apparently, the camera must work differently on a Droid Ultra. Shame on me.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
Still can't get camcorder to actually record anything. just kinda hangs there, doesn't force close or anything...

anyone using this rom with walmarts famly plan (which is dumbed down t-mobile)
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I have a T-Mo prepaid SIM, couldn't get it to work. You'd need to go to Evervolv for that since it seems to work there.

What's the cast screen feature in the display settings?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
It mirrors the display of the phone over WiFi to a dlna device

Does not work with chromecast yet

I tried
[HTC Rezound] whothefockatemychips:
How do you mirror the display it just keeps showing no nearby devices found
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I only have a chromecast to stream things to so I haven't tested it at all

But if you don't have device to be able to stream to than nothing shows up and says no near by devices

PhotoSphere

Want PhotoShere

http://floodping.org/photosphere-on-cyanogenmod-11-4.4/

This worked on my rezound with kitkat cm11. I just manually copied the 5 files from my nexus 7 running 4.4.2.

Then modified the permission of the four lib files.

Still need the original camera as this one will only work for Sphere. It will close if you switch to any other mode.

Why does the WiFi stop working
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
Am I the only one who is experiencing no data after reboots? And when losing signal?. A quick toggle of data fixes, so easy but thought I'd mention
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
I've had issues with data for awhile now on 4.4 ROMs. It appears to be fairly isolated and I don't think anyone has an answer yet, as it hasn't been discussed much.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
I've had the issue on EVERY CM rom I've ever had installed, regardless of version or release number. It seems to never be fixed. And it's not my phone, because if I install stock/almost any Sense rom it's fine.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
What's the first 5 letters of your serial number? You can find it by doing "adb devices" or Settings->About Phone->Status. Also what hboot/radio combination?
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Serial#: HT19RS20XXXX

HBOOT: 2.28.000

Radios: 2.23.10.0123r, /.0124r

I was on on older 1.XX radios and HBOOT until recently when I upgraded as recommended to do so with 4.4 ROMs. I kinda feel like I should have left well enough alone because I never had any issues with the old radios.

I appreciate you taking a look Snuzzo.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Sounds like you have a late version rez which could be a return/refurb. How long ago did you get it? Also edit out the last 4 of your serial with XXXX's
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
HT1BN

123r/124r

It's a rev b phone. Been solid except for the most recent 4.4
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
I don't think it's a refurb, I purchased it new from Verizon April 2012, the first time they offered it for $50 as an upgrade with new 2-year. The Rezound was still a flagship device and released 5 months prior to that.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Both of you go back to a Sense 3.6/AOSP 4.3.1 based rom. The serial no's you gave are confirmed to be iffy on 4.4. Mines an HT1BK. I've got the best service and battery life on hboot 2.27/2.23 radios alongside an ICS based rom (AOSP or Sense).
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
Lol I can't....gotta have new. A quick toggle isn't going to deter me. And I've actually had awesome battery life on 4.4 as well as great service other than the no data on reboot

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

I thought rev b phone had the best wafers
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I've had trouble getting data to work, but I'd been assuming it's because I'm on Page Plus now. (Data works fine in Sense.) This discussion has me intrigued. My serial number begins with HT1BJ. Does that mean anything to you? I bought mine new in March 2012, but I suppose it could've been an older stock.

My radios are 2.23.10.1023r, 2.23.10.0124r; hboot is 2.28. On my unit, earlier (Gingerbread-era) firmware had a lot of GPS problems, but later firmware has solid performance across the board.
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
Ya, Tachyon works well and I have a nandroid that I can fall back too when needed. Was hoping to stay on KitKat because that's what my Nexus 10 runs natively. FYI, I'm currently using ART with no major issues other than an occasional GUI issue/freeze-up and the data problem. I may try a different radio/HBOOT combination to see what I can come up with.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] _litz:
Why don't you set up a tasker task that upon wake, will try and ping something, and toggle data automatically if the ping times out?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
HT1A2 and latest.
[HTC Rezound] craigviar:
Great ROM, runs smooth. Everything that I have tried works well. Thanks Neo.
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
HT1A1 here. Latest radios and firmware.
[HTC Rezound] dm5530:
Is there a source for that, please? I've read on here that some Rez's behave different than others, but I've not heard of any SN-based list.

BTW, mine is an HT19X that I got new in Dec 2011 (start of 2-yr Vzn contact). I'm currently running the 20131124 version of this ROM and tentatively updating this weekend to latest.

I also want to say thanks for what you've done for the community.

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
just so everyone knows...the latest hboot is 2.28 with the 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.10.0124r radios and the only gapps i ever used for ART is Banks Standard Gapps and had no freezes or issues or force closes...there is a method to using art and must be done on fresh clean install of the rom itself...looks like im coming outta hiatus for sure lol

Can ART be set as the default instead of Dalvik to avoid the initial boot under Dalvik?
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I'm not trying to troll my own rom here, but all of you guys that are having data issues, please try Evervolv and report back.

I built it with a different RIL so if your data issues are resolved there, then we know the problem and I'll push the change to the vigor git so it can be included with the next CM build.
[HTC Rezound] madjomack:
I never spoke up. I have issues with data on and off. Not all the time.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Hey, kkozma... a couple of days ago I tried "ev_vigor-4.0.0b1-20140117-kitkat" and the data didn't work for me at that point. MMS wouldn't send. I really didn't go deep with resolving it and restored my previous ROM. If it helps, this is my basic setup.

-> latest radios & HBOOT; TWRP 2.6.3.0; NO SIM in the phone... I use PagePlus with NV. voice calls and SMS were good

In general, it was very smooth and snappy even after I loaded all my Apps from the Play Store... didn't use a restore but got them from the store directly. Hope this helps a little with the data quest ;)
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
There is a commit waiting for merge in the evervolv gerrit for SIM less phones.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
There have been some users with possible data connection issues on Carbon. I'll redirect them here for a bit.
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
Off topic but the sound profiles issue I've been whining about is an issue with cm11 m2, which is the latest from cm (and what this ROM is built off of, I think) is a problem that is known by cm team. They are working on it and it affects all devices running cm11. I didn't get my answer here so I figured I reply to my own post.
[HTC Rezound] Djay1809:
Anyone have the latest build? I've been running 1/4 after a triple clean wipe with no problems at all, I'll dirty flash and check it out
[HTC Rezound] darienms1986:
It's in the op! 1/12 is the latest unless I missed one
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
So I tried the exact same thing again in this ROM--same build--and it magically worked. It still doesn't work in Evervolv.

I don't know what I did wrong the first time, but I'm so happy right now!! :victory:
[HTC Rezound] thethriller:
It turns out the radios weren't the cause, and after figuring out the google services that were sucking battery and disabling them my battery life is back to as good or better than on 4.3 roms... Mostly it was Calendar failing to sync and keeping the phone awake 100% of the time, and also Sound Search for Google Play crashing and keeping the phone awake. So now my battery life is better ;)
