After seeing this, I thought I'd try out a newer build, as I'm also on Page Plus. I'm running the 3/1 build, which exhibits random reboots here and there (frequent enough to be annoying, infrequent enough that it's still my daily driver). Unfortunately, while the 6/30 build I tried today had working data--something that many builds in the past couple months have been lacking--I couldn't get MMS to work. In fact, having tried different builds of various ROMs (including Sense 3.6) since flashing to Page Plus, the 3/1 build of CM11 is the only configuration where I've gotten MMS working, and then only after putting in my old Verizon SIM card and specifying my phone number in the MMSC URL using the 8sms app. It's very strange. But in any case, on 3/1 I stay.

I really do appreciate the ongoing effort on this aging phone. I plan to keep my Rezzy for awhile yet--until Project Ara's launch if possible.

Another quick question- USB OTG support?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Stock kernel doesn't support it, you having issues with it on custom kernel?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Don't worry no rush, enjoy the holiday man.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
Using the kernel that comes with this ROM. Nothing i try recognizes that i plug anything in. Should I be using a different one?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I have a custom kernel out that supports OTG (powered cable only)

Large SD cards

I've edited and deleted this message about three or more times. Once again I answered a question without first reading ahead in the posts -and- not researching properly. Anywho, some info on SDcard usage can be found here:

Actually the Rez is 342 DPI but the next one up is 480, so the 320 should work. And I thank you very much for this info in addition to the info about Xposed and Netflix. Please keep hanging around... :cowboy:

Hey there... sorry you are fighting with the MMS thing. I know the feeling. I could only guess that somehow in your flash over to PP, some setting didn't take exactly as it should. I know that when I did the flash (several months ago) and it finally started working, I was uneasy trying anything new for fear that it might stop again. To this point though, I have flashed dozens and dozens of ROMs and recoveries and the like. Some ROMs work for me immediately after I switch the settings to "NV" and some just don't regardless of what I do. Some even work with the old Verizon SIM card removed. If it does work, the stock messaging app and Hangouts will both work... if not, it is always a no go for all MMS apps.

This particular ROM works smoothly for me but I am still undecided about it because I seem to be experiencing more battery drain than on my old stand by, LS 2.37 (JB). Good luck with seeking a better solution. Wish I could help but I just don't know I could do.
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Interesting that SanDisk would officially show as compatible with SDXC cards phones that don't natively support exFAT... :)

I know cards bigger than 32 GB will just work if you simply reformat them to FAT32 but as exFAT support is mandated by the SD Association to have official SDXC compatibility, I'm a bit surprised by it. SanDisk sure wants to sell those big capacity cards. :D
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Good day everyone. I have a question please. See the attached screen cap. I have been using the latest version of this ROM for a few days now and it seems that the last two days, my battery life has taken a nose dive. I have had the phone powered up for just 1 hour 17 min. and as you can see in the screen cap, cell standby and phone idle have used almost 30%. I have made nor received any calls. I have done a quick look at the settings to see if I can tweak normal things like "battery savings" in the location services, etc.

Any ideas on what is up? The first several days that I used the ROM, the battery life was much better. Of course, I have allowed Play Store to update apps but I have a feeling that something else is up. I noticed another poster mentioned the same scenario. I don't mean this to be a gripe against the ROM, I do like it a lot... just seeking a little advice.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
I'll give that a try. I'm assuming your kernel being the only one that supports it, using a non-powered cable isn't an option at this point?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
At this point no, it might not ever be available for regular OTG cables
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
Gotcha. Might have to try your cable modification...
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
CyanogenMod 11.0(07-04-14) is up

Let my 'puter do a little work while I partied. This is my latest build of the CyanogenMod 11.0(4.4.4) Kitkat.

I think it is faster -but- you all will have to test and decide for yourselves. Preliminary tests have shown that it works ok. No I did not test everything... yet. IF you find any problems... please report them.

Tests were done on the PREVIOUS 06/30 release for battery time. It lost 30% ... doing nothing for 6hrs 26min. Now during this test I had Bluetooth, WiFi, Mobile data and GPS --- ALL OFF. This means that I had about 15hrs left... doing nothing ... for a total of approx 21 hrs of doing nothing.

So you say big deal?? Well, I've seen some reports of worse times ... doing nothing... so I performed this experiment. I plan to repeat it with this latest build of 07/04 and see IF it is as good. The extra speed that it seems to have may be using more power. These tests, as you can see, take time, so there will NOT be a quick synopsis. I also want to test the battery with some heavier usage. There is an app called Battery Doctor that I am using to help me in this eval. It is available on the PlayStore IF any of you would also like to test... or IF you would just like to use it. It is a pretty good app.

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Chuck, should this be ok to flash over the top of the previous 4.4.4 build?

OH... and just a note about the bad battery life issue for me.... I tried to go back in my mind (dangerous sometimes) and I think it started up after I added a couple of numbers to the dialer blacklist... may be a coincidence but I went in and disabled the blacklist to test it for myself. If it happens to me again on this new build, I'll report back.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Install over -- or not??

Sorry for the delay -but- I do not work from Sunset Friday to Sunset Saturday. That is the Lord's Sabbath.

Later: September 7th, 2014 --- My humblest appologies. I put up the address that is on my PC by mistake. The references have been corrected.

Now then, I always do a "clean" install... Installation Instructions ... Just my thing.

I backup my apps with Google and then use the automatic restore. I have a lot of apps that I "always" want: FavApps.

If I let Google save and restore them it is less hassle. I have it written on an index card as to which apps go on which screens. I use "Next 3D launcher" and with that I have 5 screens. Can restore the phone in about 5 or 10 mins. I always have to use Chad's Proximity Calibrator to set my prox. Otherwise the phone keypad and hang up don't work!! Oh and there are 3 or 4 widgets that I have to setup. Plus Xposed for Netflix... which I won't need after this week. I only have Netflix till the 13th -and- as a trial. Don't need or want it on my phone... thank you. -BUT- it works in this release. Even though it says for version 10.1 use it anyway .. it works.

As for the Battery.....

A Test: (cm-11-[COLOR="Red"]20140701[/COLOR]-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip)

1:43am 100% charge - on Batt
Bluetooth off, WiFi off, Data off
8:09am -- 70% -- forgot to turn off GPS!! -But- otherwise it was just idle.
6hrs 26min... Back on charger!!
11:00am 100% charge - on Batt
Bluetooth off, WiFi off, Data off... and GPS off! Idle time, just sitting.
3:15pm -- 81% -- idle time.
3:17pm -- 80% -- used 1% showing a couple of pics. Back on idle.
5:23pm -- 70% --
6hrs 23min... relatively no diff with GPS off.

A Test: (cm-11-[COLOR="Red"]20140704[/COLOR]-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip)

6:14am 100% charge - on Batt
Bluetooth on, WiFi on, Data on... and GPS on!
And combo of idle and use.
8:41pm -- 50% -- one phone call -- in airplane mode for 2hrs.
14hrs 27min...
8:42pm -- back on charger.

Take care and have fun,

I

dirty flashed

and everything worked ok. Except it wouldn't play videos on Facebook. So I installed the MX Player Codec ARMv7 from play store, and it will play videos again.

:good::good:

:good::good::good:

Well it turns out doing a clean flash fixed it. No need for any codec. I should have known. Kindly disregard the above comment.

Android 4.4.2 for Neken N6

I'm looking for a MTK6589 Android 4.4.2 for ROM for NEKEN N6, it's a good phone but nothing over the 4.2...

I know they have produced for that processor,does anyone know if it has been cooked?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
I'm downloading the latest build now and will let you know about the battery life. In the mean time, I have some questions.

First, How do you backup apps with google so they automatically install?

Secondly, I just remembered Neo had used the CyanogenMod updater for a while so that the rom updates could easily be downloaded and installed. Do you have that capability Chuck? If it's any hassle then don't worry about it.

Thanks!!!
[HTC Rezound] draculla444:
the themes can't take full efecct after restart in 07/04
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
.

#1) Using Google backup.

Go into the settings

Scroll down to the Accounts

Tap on Google

Tap on your gmain address, that should be listed.

Three items will be listed:

App Data................x

Contacts................x

People details.........x

All three should be checked...-OR- have sync circles by them. Tap the menu item in upper right corner and then tap on sync now. They will then get placed on your Google account.

Tap the ret key the proper number of times to exit.

Now then, technically this is done automatically IF you selected the Google restore when you Flashed the ROM. AFTER Flashing you must sign on for the first time. During that first sign on, you are asked for your Gmail address. AFTER entering that it will say that it is signing on and gathering info -- or some such thing. However, one of the screens presented contains for Google items to check -or- uncheck. The first, or top one, is the Google Restore. All of the four items are checked by default. I leave them that way EXCEPT for the last one. Now when I get signed on ... I will see all my apps, and my contacts, getting restored. You will to IF you have left the first 2 items checked -and- you sync'd your phone. It doesn't save the "normal" apps -- only the ones you have installed. They will not be restored to any of your screens but will be restored to your app drawer. It will sync automagically -but- before you Flash another ROM use the above procedure to make sure that all of the ones you have installed have been sync'd.

As for the UpDater.... Don't think so. We are not really part of the CyanogenMod group and I was told that it is a real PITA and I don't need anymore of those. Besides, we are a friendly group and we need you to visit us.:p Maybe later when I get more comfortable with this ... maybe I will try to set it up. But don't hold your breath.:o

Take care and have fun,

[HTC Rezound] qpzm1258:
Do I need to replace all of the repo in vigor? android_vendor_cm,android_frameworks_av ,android_frameworks_native must be replaced?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Yeah, basically clone the AV repo from the vigor github and replace the one in your local source

Make sure the naming of the folder lines up

Edit: don't do the above
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No. While in your current frameworks/av folder, git fetch the av repo from the cm-11.0 branch on our vigor git and then cherry-pick that one commit.

ie:

cd frameworks/av

git fetch https://github.com/vigor/android_frameworks_av cm-11.0 && git cherry-pick 1dd29957a2292c0398923ffff8e2aca47c5931ac
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Oh, you guys use that repo for a single cherry pick lol

I think I saw a script for a list of cherry picks on a vigor repo in the past

Thought you guys were cloning those repos this entire time
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No haha. I only pulled frameworks/av into our github so that we would have a place to pull that single commit from (since it is quite big IMO). The only thing you need are our device specific repos and that one cherry pick.
[HTC Rezound] qpzm1258:
thx,i will try it !

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

did you see the source of shooteru/shooter .the hardware is much like of us.and they have no bug in recorder
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Tell me more...

No I didn't. I am trying to fix the camera and looking for all the info and help I can get. What is this shooteru/shooter??? And any, and all, information that you want to hand out concerning this will be greatly appreciated. And anyone else who reads this and knows. I ain't proud... I will accept help from anyone.:p Even beginners. Sometimes they see things that others don't. I think, technically, I am also a beginner... leastwise with this Camera/Camcorder stuff.:o

Thanks,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
shooter/shooteru are the codenames of the HTC EVO 3D. shooter has an MSM8660 like the Rezound (shooteru has an MSM8260 - GSM only), however as the cameras are different I don't think the source for those devices could be of any help for the problems with the Rezound's cameras. Could they?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I don't think its a device issues, we can compare msm8660 files and there shouldn't be much of a difference in the camerawrapper, comparing vigor and shooter files is useless though

Than you can go into our kernel, and find sensation and evo 3D files there. I've already gone through these files and found that the sensation and evo 3D use the same driver for the camera but vigor uses a different driver

ive had Logs that show the camera driver isn't being "probed" completely, the issue may be in the camera drivers itself

I can provide more info if needed, I'm currently not going to be working on camera issues. I may in the future though
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Well what...???

Please read this --- and then read it again. I am trying to present info and obtain info on this problem. Some of this you may have heard before ... and some not. IF this is all "old hat" ... please let me know. So far all we have done is talk around the problem. I would like to get serious on it and get it fixed ... IF we can.

As I said to the last guy... 'ANY' info would be appreciated. The Camera -and- the Camcorder "work" -but- the Camcorder is only good for 3 videos and then it quits saving the pics until it is rebooted and then you get another 3.... etc. I understand there is a mixture of PMEM and ION in this "Hybrid" version. Can't believe that it is a simple counter. It saves three... then quits. When rebooted it will save another 3 -and- NOT overwrite the previous ones. It is NOT storing the vids on the SDcard but in Internal Memory. There is a difference in the operation of the "Default" camera and the "Google" Camera. The Default Camera will scramble the video IF it is started in Portrait mode. The Google Camera WON'T... it is clear and viewable. The Default Camera will start and immediately stop on the 4th and further tries. The Google Camera "appears" to be still recording but it is not. I was hoping these findings would help one of you more knowledgeable Techs in solving this problem. Everyone keeps saying that it is in the Camera Wrapper -but- I just can't see it. I talked to Sultan and he said something about it being in the vidc section ... which is in the kernel. I haven't done anything with the kernel ... yet... but any input and/or directions as to an area to check into or investigate would be appreciated.

I got the impression that the drivers were written by HTC and that we can't get them. Is that true?? Is that what our stumbling block is??

Thanks,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
The kernel was written by HTC and you can always pull source from them. the source will be written for ICS though

and our kernel is mostly based on other kernels lol still by HTC though

Sultan is a smart kid, i could peek around his pyrimid kernel in vidc but anyone that does this should be carful since he uses CAF

directorys with the main drivers should be these, keep in mind that the files call all over the kernel but im sure you know that:

drivers/media/video/msm/

drivers/video/msm/vidc/

we use ov8830 for camera driver, i dont belive the issue is in camerwrapper but i could be wrong
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
.

Alllllrighty now... I think you answered my question -but- I must ask again... maybe a little plainer. So according to what you just said there "isn't" any proprietary code that is blocking us??? It is ALL open source and available??? I'm old and ancient. I don't, and won't, pretend to know everything. In fact, about these phones... I'm a baby. But I think I have enough experience to learn and make some changes. I don't, however, have the time to waste, figuring out all this by myself. My health, and heart, are not in all that good of shape. I am NOT looking for any sympathy, just stating a fact.

I grabbed Sultan's code and have been looking around at it. I even tried some of it in ours. I knew it wouldn't work -but- the errors could tell me a few things. I was talking to one of you about the differences between the PMEM and ION code and how to tell which is being used. I was told to look for "BOARD_USES_PMEM_ADSP" and "TARGET_USES_ION". At present I haven't seen either one.

Separate paragraph so it stands out... My ONLY excuse at the moment is ... the changes to the current release kept me to busy and prevented any further investigation. You'll have to admit things were changing pretty fast there for a while -and- I had to get adjusted to being the new OP. That said, and now that things have settled down, I want to get back to the Camcorder problem.

I don't know a thing about CAF... other than it is "Code Aurora Forum". However, in the amount that I looked over Sultan's code, I do believe that we could do the same thing. I realize that you have other things more important to do, so in order to not waste your time on this antique phone, IF you could just send me off in the directions you would take ... I will spend the time instead of you. In other words, I'll do the work, you do the thinking and directing..?.? OK. IF you can do this I'll give you top billing in the credits.:o

Also, and finally, IF you -or- Neo think that we should take this off into a personal chat ... I'm fine with that. But NOT the one that was setup. To many other conversations going on there and the topic of interest gets lost.:p

Thanks,

-Chuck

Hello all... I just wanted to give an update after mentioning battery life issues before. I clean flashed the 7.4 build, installed my usual slate of apps, and (not sure if this is really a biggie) I turned off all of the reverse look-up stuff in the dialer... so far, I have not added anyone to the blacklist in the dialer. Anyway, I have had this setup for two days and I have had MUCH better battery life. See attached screen shot. Yesterday, I had a mild day of use: 1 hour listening to music, took maybe 4 pics, updated 2 apps through Play Store, checked the weather a couple of times w/radar, a few txt's, a couple of quick phone calls.... after 16 hours up-time, I still had 42% battery life left. Thanks for all of the hard work on this ROM!
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
CyanogenMod 11.0(07-09-14) is up

The latest effort is up and ready to use. The following is the results of some testing:

A Test: (cm-11-20140709-UNOFFICIAL-vigor.zip)

7:46am 100% Charge -- on Batt

First we setup the Bluetooth: 7:51am Paired and connected.

7:52am -- Netflix test -- watched movie for 6 min.

7:59am -- 96% -- Turning on Music and going cross street to test Mobile data.

8:13am -- 95% -- Turned off music. Mobile data test a success.

10:47am -- 83% -- Just went to McDonalds. Used WiFi and Mobile data there. The default Browser would NOT

connect with the WiFi -but- would connect with Mobile Data. Firefox connected with both.

went to the Bank and while traveling there (wife driving) enabled maps and it showed us at the Bank.

11:07am -- 80% -- Took some still pics of mushrooms in our backyard... in Phoenix, AZ!! Dry heat??

It's Monsoon season and I had been over watering to get grass for the 4th picnic.

12:30pm -- 70% -- idle from pic time till now.

12:52pm -- 66% -- Made a voice call thru Bluetooth. Naturally, I had to Tap the button on my Bluetooth first.

Then the Voice Caller asked for a command.

1:00pm -- 65% -- Sent a Text mesg.

1:03pm -- 64% -- Looked at map and it showed me at home. Messed with it a little to get larger view.

Since about 10:30am had Hangouts going and have recieved a few. None sent. And all this time we have had WiFi,

Mobile Data, Bluetooth, and location enabled. There were a few times that one of them was off to test the others.

But most of the time all have been on.

1:10pm -- 63% -- After all of the above.

1:19pm -- 60% -- Was just looking at PlayStore and my apps. Checking GooManager and ROM Installer.

Going idle -- well let screen go off and it just sit there... doing nothing -but- all services still on.

2:00pm -- 55% -- Doing nothing, just looked at Battery Doc to see percent.

7:03Pm -- 21% -- and we have essentially done nothing with the phone in these past hours.

11hrs 21min of ON time -- back on charger

Hope to do another test tomorrow with battery saving in mind.:fingers-crossed: Oh and by the way, this test and all the others... I forgot to tell ya.... I am using the Extended Battery.

-Chuck

Thursday July 10th, 2014/3:55am I was gona do another test with a lot of stuff turned off. But I have decided not to do it. Instead I am going to work on more important stuff. Batteries can be, and are a problem in all of these Smartphones. It depends a lot on how you use them. IF you have everything it does going, then your battery life is going to be low. However, IF you turn some things that you don't use often Off, it will last a lot longer. I had everything going in my above test and I got almost 12 hours of use with power left. Granted it was not a heavy use, but then, niether was the use of some of the complainers. There isn't really a whole lot that we can do... at least at this time.
