Sorry I'm late ...

I'm a "ReTired McDonalds" worker. Not retired from -- but working at -- part time-- or so they say. I also was taking care of a dog in poor health and finally had to put her down. Then a little later got a new puppy that has required more time than I thought. Those are my main two excuses at this time --- and I'm sticking with them.:p

As for the Camcorder... my work on it got delayed for the above reasons... mainly ... and my trying to get a better setup on my newest PC. I have finally gotten what I think is a working "Android Studio" on the new PC -and- I just recieved my copy of "Android Studio Development Essentials". Hopefully the pup will leave me alone long enough to accomplish something. I want to get the "Camcorder Problem" fixed before I depart to another phone ... possibly the "LG G4".

The Camcorder DOES WORK. It just quits working after three ops. Then you must ReBoot your phone to get another 3. I recorded the "Paul McCartney" concert here in Phoenix with it. I ReBooted during the breaks.:o

NO!! -- \lollipop-roms.apkgamemod.com/upgrade-update-htc-rezound-to-5-0-lollipop IS NOT VALID!!

IF it is not anounced by me or one of these:

@Neo, @Flyhalf205, [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION], @bunchies, @kkozma, [MENTION=3419683]Snuzzo[/MENTION], [MENTION=3668085]TheBr0ken[/MENTION], [MENTION=3053300]wildstang83[/MENTION], [MENTION=4152223]shrike1978[/MENTION], @dmeadows013

then it is NOT valid.

As for the "Lolipop" on the ReZound --- I don't really think so -- but things do happen. BUT in reality I doubt it. I've attempted it -but- key pieces of info are missing -AND- I don't think they will ever become available.

So far your ROM is working as per the OP's caveats.

Love the USB tethering option that I have never been able to use on the previous ROMs.

I was afraid I would get much worse photos on your ROM, but it seems to work well enough with the default camera.

What I do miss is the BT calling features, but I knew the bugs going in, so...

What governor, and I/O scheduler are you guys using to get good performance/battery life ratio?

I have a lot faster battery drain compared to using ICS Sense based ROMs.

Also, on my previous ROM, I used to have the problem that I couldn't use wifi and BT at same time without major interference in the BT audio stream. It doesn't have that problem on the ROM, so thanks!:good:

BTW: I tried to run the ROM without installing the gapps, and it got stuck on the first boot with a whole bunch of repeating FCs. I had to reinstall and flash the gapps before the first boot to avoid that problem. Is that supposed to happen?

I would love to be able to use the ROM without the gapps in the future, when it is not my main phone, as it will eliminate a ton of running services, and make battery life great for use as a wifi only device.
[HTC Rezound] thelunchboxosu:
Seconded. I use my Rez as my HTPC remote, would love to do the same thing.

I no longer own the vigor sadly and pressed on time with work, family and other business
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
BUT I still have mine!!

To be honest ... haven't done much with this in the last couple of months. Personal issues ... which we all have but that is my excuse for now. As I stated in my last message, the M9 has turned out to be a disappointment. I am sticking with my Rez and I appreciate this info that you have presented. I finally got what I "think" is a working Android Studio on my newest PC and I will test it out with the information that you have presented. The key issues are the msm8660 code and the kernel.

Once again thanks,

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Chuck...what needs done is add vigor related commits from git for say its panel and stuff like that in kernel as well as device tree bring up into that source...also..we did get lolli to build a few months after it came out but never booted at all...stuck at bootloop if I remember right....also...I did warn about the m9 and the g4 haha...that's why I'm on a nexus
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Think we did ...

I, and Keith, and Bunchies -and- you were messing with the 3.4 kernel. Think Dave was in there too. I installed the kernel and all I got was a white screen. And then ... and then ... I got a new puppy. I did NOT remember a puppy requiring almost 24hr a day attention!! He has disrupted our household. Plus I got the "part time" job at McDonald's. The two events together have screwed up my programming time.

-BUT- there is light at the end of the tunnel. The "SnowBirds" have left ... so less customers and possibly fewer hours... -and- puppy seems to be settling down -or- I am imagining it. He is now 16 weeks old today. Gets the last of his initial shots tomorrow and then I will be able to take him on long walks. Tire him out -- OR me ... and maybe get more program time.

Need to revisit the stuff we did and have some discussions. You have more knowledge and I have the Rez. Between the two... err .. five of us we should be able to get something going.

But at this time I must go make the donuts ---- ooopss .... I mean burgers. 11am to 4pm today.

[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Building CM12 for the Rez...

There are some Vendor files that were/are available for CM11. Some libraries and prebuilts. Some of these files are used in the kernel. I haven't investigated all of it fully -but- I do believe that without these files... newer versions... we can not upgrade to kernel 3.4 nor CM12 Lollipop. This was where I got stopped -before- I got the new puppy interruption. I have contacted HTC and they, so far, have refused to give out the source code or any help. Don't know if they will change their mind or not.

Any opinions ... ideas??

[HTC Rezound] signupstuffid:
Thanks for not giving up Chuck.

I'm using your ROM daily, and it works as good as can be expected, for this old phone.

The photos also come out better than I thought they would on a CM ROM.

The only thing is I have really fast battery drain compared to when I was on a Sense based ROM.

I have investigated what is causing the drain, and after screen, and android system it is the google play services.

I have used greenify, as well as it's Xposed modules to take control of how much those services wake my phone.

None of my google apps are on auto sync.

If you have the time to compile your same ROM in a way that doesn't require the install of the gapps, that would make it so I can avoid installing the play services.

I can then side load the backed up apps from my secondary phone that has play store access.

When I tried installing your ROM without gapps, it would give me all kinds of FCs on boot. Using same downloaded ROM file and installing gapps before first boot fixed it.

Thanks again for taking the time to make this ROM. I love the Kitkat features, that make using this phone much more convenient.

[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I've given up on the rezound, its now an extra dummy device for app writing so I can test new applications I have in development on all screen DPI's

I still use the G3 but I'm in college now so even on the G3 I stopped compiling ROMs because I have no more time with everything else I squeeze into my schedule.

Although I still am in the liquid & layers team for java help since I would like to still contribute behind the scenes from time to time, currently running PA (aospal) though shhhhhh... ;) :p

Anyways, if anyone actually thinks they can make a dent in bringing this device back up I wouldn't mind sitting in that hangouts chat to help out if I can :thumbup: but all the rezound devices in the world seem to slowly disappear making the custom dev user base small
[HTC Rezound] gimmeitorilltell:
Maybe the biggest issue is that none of us own the device to test any builds on? I myself do not have a rezound to test & it would be extremely difficult to work on a build without a test device. Also the vendor files may not even be supportive of lollipop? We seem to be having an issue with a few other 8660 devices and the vendor files.

I cant get this to flash. CWM give me an error. Ive tried it twice. Redownloaded. Back to PM gapps.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Check for wakelocks, I found browser sync was stuck on yesterday keeping my phone from sleeping. I think BetterBatteryStats (which you have to pay for) is the only detector working with KitKat at this point though, you need to go into the Advanced settings and enable the root options. You can confirm if that's the problem without a detector by going into Settings, Accounts, Google and expand your account where you can see everything that's syncing, if the arrows are just spinning away, disable that sync.

I'm hoping Wakelock Detector gets updated soon. :)
[HTC Rezound] Tidewater:
Your problem may be the version of twrp that you are on. I have seen in several places that you have to be on version 2.6.3.0 to get a proper flash. May be the problem with those gapps too. Hope this helps.

[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
[MENTION=4699600]Thingula[/MENTION] are you running PA Gapps? I have no clue man.
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
No.. I just have the normal Kit Kat gapps.zip

I was under the impression that:

The main reason that people are using them, is because they're already on ART, and it's the only way to get compatible Google Apps on the new runtime.

They're just the Google Apps (Play Store, Maps, Search, etc.), and should have nothing to do with my problem.

I did, however, download them onto my phone when I saw them, but that was just so I wouldn't need to go digging if I needed it, later.

Am I mistaken? Could that be the reason that the switch to ART fails, every time?

Again, I highly doubt that's the issue, but it's the one variable that I forgot to test. So, thank you; regardless of the result, I think that it's worth the try.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
No for twrp use version 2.6.3.3 as that was the version specifically made for kitkat

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

and also no...for running with ART use either PA Gapps which still may give a few small for closes or use Banks Standard gapps as i showed a few pages back...good instruction...1.) clean flash rom in twrp 2.6.3.3 as i did and boot to rom. 2.) once bootoed switch to the ART runtime then fully reboot the phone again so its now switched to ART 3.) once booted up again flash the 2 above mentioned gapps and youll be fine....

Pure normall gapps will not work with art as when you switch to it your odexing the rom...so normal gapps (deodexed) give errors.

Also for your errors with adb...ensure usb degiing is enabled and in developer options ensure that root access is set for both apps and adb....as its set to only apps by default
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
I'd really appreciate it if [MENTION=3082717]Flyhalf205[/MENTION] could chime in, here, because there seems to be a bit of conflicting information throughout these two threads. You recommend using TWRP 2.6.3.3, however people on the TWRP thread are claiming that 2.6.3.3 is very buggy, unstable and that even Flyhalf suggested using 2.6.3.0... The fact that 2.6.3.3 isn't even mentioned in the OP, makes it all-the-more confusing. :confused:

Edit:

Thanks, I'll try that out.. Even though I usually HATE fresh installs. :P

2/3) I did that on my 2nd clean flash, but used the normal gapps.zip (that was before I saw the pa-gapps.zip in this thread).

I knew that they didn't work (I just wanted to test out ART, ASAP), but didn't know that they would make the ROM become odexed.. And, I wasn't getting any errors, at all; adb, logcat or otherwise. I just couldn't make the switch.

I'll try, one last time (before 4.4.1, or whatever :P ). Thanks for the advice, but just to clarify: this doesn't mean that I can't switch runtimes, whenever I feel like it, does it?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
2.6.3.3 is buggy for all roms except kitkat....its only good to flash it as flyhalf only coded it for that and not anything else....however it breaks alot of things in mount for other roms because kitkat changed a few things...as a contributor of this rom and its developement i can vouch for it
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Not to down what reventech said, but I an using 2.6.3.0 with no problems.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
your not having radio or mount issues?.....

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

also Neo is a cwm fan so he only posts for that in OP lol...but he does state or higher.....keep in mind that it is a holiday and family day for them....and when it isnt we are all still making this rom more stable so we get busy
[HTC Rezound] Thingula:
I used to like CWM, until TWRP 2 came out :P And I know.. :P I didn't mean that any intervention was needed (or even expected) immediately.

Thanks for all the help! I'll test it out, right now. :good: :D

Nope... Even dirty flashed the newest build with PA gapps so that I could use art, and flashed funky bean.

Rezound isn't my daily driver anymore but I still have it so I could test things if you like (can't test CDMA and LTE, though).

I have this CM12.1 ROM running on my GSM EVO 3D (shooteru, msm8260): http://xdaforums.com/htc-evo-3d/gsm-development/rom-unoffical-cyanogenmod-12-0-evo-3d-t3083272 and it's pretty great, the only thing that doesn't work is the camera. It's using a 3.0 kernel. I understand the only difference between 8260 and 8660 is the CDMA support? Could 8260 stuff be of any use to Rezound?
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
minimum gapps ..

I too do not like all the extra garbage. That is one of the reasons I got into this ROM business. I like "some" of the garbage and therefore I install the Minimal Gapps. They are listed in/on our download site. I am presuming that you are complaining about the Standard Gapps.

There are many, many things that can cause a battery drain. I published in some previous message(s) my experiences with an "extended" battery... which has since died and I have had to revert to a lessor battery. Couldn't find another extended battery. Perhaps like always I looked in the wrong places -or- just not the right ones. :p

At any rate, I started this message two days ago and am just now finishing it. Dog and family interrupted ... in that order. I have finally gotten my newest PC working correctly for Android compiles -and- it appears that I got Android Studio working. Hopefully now I will be able to get something accomplished. Stay tuned ... I have NOT abandoned the ReZound.

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Something new??

Development for our ReZ has "almost" stopped as far as most are concerned. -BUT- I still have plans -and- this article inspires me. Maybe it will inspire some of you... CM11 isn't dead ... yet.

cyanogenmod-finalizes-development-of-cm-11-and-cm-12.htm

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
It isn't? If I read that blog post correctly it says they're releasing the final build, so I understand that as meaning CM11/12 are as dead as the older ones and only 12.1 and the future M release are gonna see development from now on.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Personally, I do NOT consider it dead. (ROM)(07-01-15)(UNOFFICIAL)(4.4.4)CyanogenMod

Not to start any arguments... cause it ALL depends on how you look at it. I have a ReZound.

.. Ordered on Dec 31st, 2011 and received on Jan 5th, 2012

The phone is "Officially" 3 and a half years old. In todays electronic communications terminology ... that is ancient. Maybe by some considered dead. -BUT- I am still using it -AND- I like the Freedom that apparently is being removed in the newer Android versions. I have NOT learned all that I need to know about CM11 -or- Android. It has taken me these 3 years to get a decent environment. They, the Developers, have finally gotten a decent Android Studio -AND- I have gotten it working and setup on my newest PC --- which by the way --- I purchased just to be able to work on and build these Androids for my/our ReZound(s). On my "old PC" it would take me over 8hrs to compile a clean release. On this new one it takes an hour. -AND- IF you search and check the Web you will find that a lot of people are NOT happy with Lollipop. That may change -but- at present, KitKat/CM11 are the most used and most popular.

Now then, my statement that CM11 isn't dead yet was in my opinion correct. They "just released" the "Final versions".

The way I read that ... "It ain't over till the fat lady sings."

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

Now then on that note... I "UpDated" my source -a repo sync- from their latest and did a build... a compile of the new code. I have installed it on my phone and I am testing it. A copy of the OS will be placed in our download section within the next couple of hours.

Just an FYI and assurance for anyone that needs it.

I'm NOT leaving the ReZ. As it stands now, the only way I would leave it is ... IF it broke -and- I could NOT get a replacement... for free... like they all have been so far. I'm on my 4th one, by the way.

My plans are to get "free" from all the things that are interfereing and spend lots of time on this Camcorder Problem. Seems to be one thing after another. I'll not bore you with details NOR seek your sympathy. It's just life. IF it was easy it would have been done by now. But the guys in the know have moved on to one of the newer phones and our ReZ has been left in the dust. As I have said in a couple of messages, I purchased a new PC just for working on this -AND- I have finally gotten Android Studio setup on it. Now I need to find the time... uninterrupted time... so that I can concentrate on the problem.

One of my problems, with time, as of late, has been my new puppy, Dakotah. A GSD/Husky. The first few weeks take a lot more time than I remember. He is now 4 and a half months old and not requiring quite as much time... so things are lookin up.

ANNNDDDD.... I just ordered a new extended battery:

IF any of you are interested it was ordered from Sears online -and- it is NOT available in their stores. $51.98 + 3.27(for tax) It is to arrive July 9th and I'll update my signature then... and I'll let ya'll know how it performs.:o
