7708 N 108th Drive on the West side. We are actually still in the county but have a Glendale mailing address. It is called Country Meadows and is just south of Sun City and just north of the Glendale airport between Northern and Glendale.

As far as crappier service?? Just what do you mean?? I don't get, nor do I make, a lot of phone calls and the ones that I do seem to be ok. In fact lately most of my phone use has been with Hangouts and the Rez Team - and that has been ok. The other primary use, at this time, is testing. So, IF you too are here in Phoenix, we'll have to meet at a coffee shop. I'm retired so almost any time is ok with me... notice I said almost. Even though I am retired I have been busier at nothing than I was at work. I'm sure most of the retiree's will know and understand what I am talking about. :)

Well now, I think you need to re-check it -OR- I do. The Pyramid/Sensation by Sultan is supposed to be CAF and ION. Those are the two things that I am trying to understand better. I used to make my living programming computers. These little Smartphones are a bit different. And in the 10 years I have been more or less absent, things have change slightly. I need to get back up to speed.

But anyway, my goal is to get rid of the cherrypics that we do and get accepted back in the fold of CyanogenMod. Or at least close to it. All depends on what my Lord has in store for me. He has directed me to a great bunch of fellows and we are working on it. In fact one of them has already replied to you. :)
[HTC Rezound] qpzm1258:
can we ask sultan for help? it seems vigor,pyramid and shooter(u) are using the same repo with different config in official ics kernel.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
There is a hidden project going on regarding this but its been inactive for a while, didn't want to ask sultan but someone else wanted to participate that uses caf

i think I'm on to something with the camera issue though, was able to dig up waaaaaay more info lol

Building a test now :p been logging the issue for over an hour
[HTC Rezound] qpzm1258:
waitting and see ti4 at the same time :cool:

In the past I think u had to flash to the leaked ICS ruu. Then start over with cm. Anyone else chime in here on this one?
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Weird, I have all those settings checked, and you pretty much detailed what I do every time I clean flash a rom. I guess it just doesn't work right for me, for some reason. It's not that big of a deal though, don't worry.

And don't worry about the CM Updated too, was mostly just curious.

Now onto the July 4th report... So the day before yesterday, I woke up at 6AM. I had a single phone call around 3PM. The whole rest of the day before and after the phone was practically idle. May have unlocked just to see the time or something. By 10PM my battery was at like 20%. This may sound reasonable, but it's not compared to what the battery used to do.

I restarted my phone and put it on the charger for the next day. That morning, I got up at 6AM again. And the phone usage was pretty much identical to the day before, except no phone call. I texted a bit and checked the time, but never opened the phone app. By 10PM? My battery was 85%. This is how the battery has always used to be for me. The difference is enormous and falls in line with what I suspected before, that the phone app is somehow chomping away it the background. Also I noticed that if I open up the dialer and then hit the history button, the app crashes.

I will update to the July 9th build at some point and see if the same is happening, but I may be slow to getting around to update.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
I have the same suspicion... I have started going into the dialer and unchecking all of the reverse lookup stuff... maybe this will help?
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
.

Now then, just "what" is not working right?? The apps or the contacts?? IF either ... "I" too have "thought" that it didn't work -BUT- I had to click on the Broser and get signed in BEFORE it would send my apps or contacts down. So, IF you flash your ROM -and- you have selected to use Google Restore ... and upon restore you do NOT see your apps ... Tap the Browser button ... sign on to your account ... leave the Browser and sign on to PlayStore. After -or- During one -or- both of those you should see the download arrows and then your apps will be restored.

OF COURSE I am "assuming" that you, -or- Google, put them up on Google Restore in the first place. It works and there is nothing in our code that prevents -or- screws with it. I've had a couple of times where "I" made a mistake and thought that I had lost my contacts. -But- I didn't. I just had to be patient and let things run the course .... and ... make sure everything is properly checked. Yes I know ... we all have checked and we all have things correct. But keep me happy and check again -and- BEFORE your next Flash ... go into the accounts and "Manually" sync your apps... and your contacts. Then you will know that they have been saved. Then DURING your "INITIAL" sign on AFTER the Flash, watch for the Google services and make sure the first two are checked. They should be by default. Continue your startup and then the other things I mentioned above. Yes I'm very redundant.:o

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck

P.S. I'm starting a new build in about an hour or less. IF it works you'll see it posted later today or tomorrow. I do really test some of it. However, I need a Netflix tester. I only had it for a month and due to finances I can not continue it. So, any volunteers???
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Only the app sync is what doesn't work. Everything else always has worked flawlessly including contacts.

By the way, I didn't mean to bring up the google sync subject like it was a rom issue, I was only asking out of curiosity because it's never worked for me on any rom or stock setup, on any phone. I'm sure I have an incorrect setting somewhere but I can't imagine where since everything I look at seems correct. I'll do what you said on my next install.

And no netflix here, sorry.
[HTC Rezound] Danbeme32:
I need to say that I really like this rom.. The last rom was draining my battery quickly. I would go to work and by the end of a 8 hrs. shift it would be at 14%. With this one I do the same thing I do every day.. check status on facebook a couple time a day, surf the web, check e-mail and I was left with 34% of battery. I too have the extend battery..:good:

I could be your netflix tester if you like when you update the rom..:cool:
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
What???

I'm not really sure what you are talking about. IF you are talking about flashing one of these ROM's... NO ... you do not have to start over with ICS ruu. You just Flash the ROM .. period. How-to is on my WebPage at: My Installation. IF that doesn't work then your phone is broke..:p

Really, you need a Custom Recovery and I personally recommend TWRP. IF you do not have it installed already and need help installing TWRP ... holler... and one of us will help.:cool:

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
Hey Chuck. I recall in the early days of aosp on the rez, certain hboot firmwares would cause the internal memory to corrupt. I remember that the solution was to ruu the phone to completely format back to stock which fixed the corruption. Perhaps you can format in twrp, to get your emmc to come back. I've personally never had the problem.

P.S. I'm willing to test pilot the new ROM. Bring it on.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Hmmmmm....??

Now then, you will notice in my signature that I am on hboot 2.28 -and- have been since September 9th, 2013 when we got our 3rd replacement... we are on our 4th phone. The only time I had internal memory corrupted was in one of my S-Off adventures. Can't remember who's fault it was, theirs or mine, -but- I had to reformat both my SD card -and- my internal memory. Fortunately I had a back up of both -and- I suggest that you make a dir for each on your PC and copy the contents of each to them. Just a suggestion. Course IF one or both are already corrupted then it is a mute point.

However, suggestion to any and all, make a back up copy of both of your memories. Even when the back up gets out of date, it is still better than nothing.. :D

Take care and have fun,

CyanogenMod 11.0(07-13-14) KitKat 4.4.4 is Up

Got the latest up for you all to try. Did my usual meager testing. Netflix can be used IF you have Xposed installed. I got as far as the SignOn but I know longer have my "free" account so I could not view a movie.

Not doing a Battery timing UNLESS mine looks worse. Everything that I tested on the previous build is working. You all test it an let me know IF there are any problems.

Take care and Have fun,

Problem installing Gapps

While trying to install this roms I been having problems installing the gapps. Yours or Banks apps. When I try to install it through the recovery I get:

set_metadata_recursive :some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/gapps-kk=20140620-1-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation abort

I did tried to download it again and the same thing happens. I don't know what I need to do to fix it.. Thanks

[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
What recovery are you using?
[HTC Rezound] Danbeme32:
I have been using CWM Touch 6.0.36 Recovery.

P.S. I tested Netflix out and its working fine.. No problems so far.:good:
[HTC Rezound] draculla444:
13/7 not install from TWRP ... i downloaded two more again
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Hmmmmm....??

I am sorry to hear of yours [MENTION=4085348]draculla444[/MENTION]'s problem(s). I have installed it twice with no difficultly ... HOWEVER, I used the Minimum Banks Gapps. I will destroy my setup one more time and try it with the FULL Gapps. IF mine still works ok, then I will re-upload another one. Bad uploads can happen just as easy as bad downloads.:o

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck

P.S.

I forgot to ask ... did you clean or dirty flash??

Humblest apologies to all. The regular "Standard" one does NOT work. Both the "Standard" and the "Minimal" versions of the Banks Gapps work. Till further notice that is what you will have to use. The other will be removed till it is fixed.
[HTC Rezound] beezer94:
If i remember right that error comes up in TWRP if you don't go to 'Mounts' and unmount (uncheck) 'System' folder before installing certain ROMs/Gapps.
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Hmmmmm....??

Never heard of anything like that -and- to be honest I searched the Web before I tried it and could find nothing encouraging. That doesn't mean it is not there -but- my search criteria did not find anything. -But- I did try it... just to see what would happen. And it was not successful.

I am guilty of NOT using the "Google Standard" Gapps. One of the reasons I got into this "Custom ROM" business in the first place was cause I didn't like all the excess baggage that the "Standard" Systems place on the phone. Yes, there are various ways to remove them -but- why??? IF they are NOT there in the first place then you don't have to worry about messing anything up.

So I gathered a "Custom ROM", installed the "Minimum Gapps" just so I could get "PlayStore" and then continued my fun. The apps that I currently use, IF you are interested, can be found at: ReZound CM11 which is one of my WebPages on my site.

That's off the subject. Anywho, I will continue my investigation as to why the standard gapps do NOT install. I just tested the 7/9 version and they didn't install properly on that one either -but- no one complained. I will still look into it -but- in the meantime please use the Banks Gapps. They work.

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
If this is a gapps issue, did you know CyanogenMod makes they're own gapps

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

We were only using banks gapps because that was only the only option when 4.4.4 was released

Cm takes they're time releasing gapps after a new version of android
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Hmmmmm....??

Well Thank you muchly Mr. Bunchies -but- it don't work either. It has the same name and same size of one that I obtained and thought it was from Google. Same error; E error in updating binary.

BUT "both" of the Banks Gapps work. Full and minimum. In fact the one I am using now is 7-2_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.zip. I will create a new build and see IF anything has changed. I was gona create one anyway...:p It may be time to do a full wipe and build.... naw... just a clobber.

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Either a new build or the recovery we use might need an update to be compatible with any new update-binarys

thats what i think though :p
[HTC Rezound] Danbeme32:
I always do a clean flash with all updated roms. I notice that this started to happen in the last three updates or so.. It did work with the ones you did in June.. Am just glad to know my phone is not going haywire on me..:silly:
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
Anyone else getting the odd Bluetooth crash? I've had it happen twice now on me running chucks latest. I toggle it on, it crashes, and then when I toggle it on again it works. It temporarily knocks my WiFi out too when it happens. All works shortly after the FC however. Just mentioning it. I've seen it before in the past. Dirty flash here.
[HTC Rezound] futureyes:
Install for newbs

Is there any chance someone can post thorough and complete installation instructions? I'm a hardware guy not a software guy. There's quite a bit I don't understand. Two things that have me scratching my head; 1st, how do you put the ROM in the "ROOT" of your SD card? I've searched for a "ROOT" folder on my SD card with no luck. 2nd; what is comparing the MD5 Sum? I have no idea what I'm being asked to do here. I so want to have this phone running something better/newer then the factory ROM. CyanogenMod sounds awesome! ~ Andy

NOTE: For recovery I use CWM Touch 6.0.3.6 but you can also use TWRP. Some wipe options below may not be included in other recovery options. Still wipe what is available the best you can.[/I]

1. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card

2. Compare MD5 Sum

Windows: MD5 Calculator

LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]

Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]

3. Reboot to Recovery

4. Scroll down and select "Wipe"

5. Wipe the following:

Wipe ALL data/factory reset

Wipe /data

Wipe /cache

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Wipe /boot

Wipe /system

Optionally wipe:

Wipe battery stats

Wipe rotate settings​

6. Scroll to and press return

7. Install Rom from SD Card

8. Reboot and enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
1. 'root' is just that ... the top -or- bottom depending on how you want to classify it. In this phone system, like its counterpart the Linux PC system, we have directories -or- folders. The very, very highest one is called the 'root'. Under it you have files and other folders. IF you were to draw a diagram of it, it would like like an inverted tree. That is why the base is called 'root'. Now for the SD card IF you just copy the file straight to it, it will be in the 'root' dir.

2. The md5sum is a conglomeration that is used to check that the transferred data is correct. Windows and Linux both have programs that can check them.

3. It appears that this might be your first time. If so, then I need to ask ... have you UnLocked the phone -and- have you rooted it?? I suspect from your other responses that you have not. If your answer is that you have not then I will direct you to an area where you can get the proper info. Why am I not directing you now??? Cause I gota make sure my WebPages are straight. :o

Take care and have fun .... believe me you will.... just hang in there. We help on this thread/site,

-Chuck

P.S. I do presume that you have an HTC ReZound ???
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
The Gapps install failures...

It appears that there is a problem with the set_metadata command. Fingers are pointing all over the place. Till it gets straightened out please continue to use the Banks Gapps. IF/When those break we'll have to do some screaming at somebody.

I promise I will check the future releases before I post them "with" the standard Gapps and let you know when it is fixed. Speaking of which, I am going to do a FULL wipe, cache and all, to see IF something got "left over". The next release will be BRAND NEW. Course a FULL re-compile takes 8 or more hours.

Take care and have fun,

-Chuck
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
CyanogenMod 11.0(07-18-14) KitKat 4.4.4 is Up

The latest release is up. The fix for the Gapps installs is thru the Custom Recoveries. Your x-OP, FlyHalf205, has created a version of both recoveries that will work with the Standard Gapps. They can be found at:

TWRP 2.7.1.1 and CWM

Take care and enjoy,

[HTC Rezound] tong6998:
I'm at work on my phone and for the life of me can't remember how to flash the recovery, any chance at a quick refresh? Keep up the good work BTW, you're doing awesome keeping us alive.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Plug your phone into the pc & reboot to bootloader and go into fastboot mode

Get the recovery .img file

Open your adb folder and place the .img file inside

Open cmd within that folder and do the following

fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img

Replace the x's with the name of the recovery .img

Or your can use an app called flashify, flash recovery img from inside android
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
Hwy guys. I am struggling to flash this new recovery. Its been a while. I've downloaded flyhalfs new cwm. I then used es file explorer to rename the file to "PH98IMG.zip". Ive placed it in the root of both my internal and external SD and the bootloader won't recognize it. It seems to read it but nothing happens. Am I missing something?
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Because what you are downloading is a .img file. You need to use fastboot or flashify to flash it. I don't have it setup to install as a PH98
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Try this if you're s-off;

http://d-h.st/OxR

Extract zip; put your chosen recovery in recovery folder as "recovery.img". Repack as zip and flash in your current recovery, it SHOULD do an automatic reboot back into your freshly flashed recovery.
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
Wow. You guys are heros. Whats up [MENTION=3082717]Flyhalf205[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3419683]Snuzzo[/MENTION] !?!?!? Nice to see you guys are still around. All we need is [MENTION=3124509]chad0989[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4203241]IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo[/MENTION] to pop in and we'd have a reunion! Im probably missing some people here but these xda names are blast from the past.

I just downloaded flashify (which i have never used before and i love it already) and it worked. Running 6.0.5.0 now. Thanks.

Thanks fly for clearing up why i couldn't flash the file in hboot and snuzzo for providing me with one that would work 2 seconds later, ha. You guys are still awesome.

Thank you Chuck for another build. I'm about to flash it along side banks latest gapps with my shiny new recovery.

Have a good weekend everyone and long live the rezound!

References ... TWRP and CWM

I have had this phone since January 5th, 2012. I ordered one shortly after they were released. In fact it was on back order and then it appeared. So I was happy. My point is I ordered it December 31st, 2011... and I started writing WebPages on it BEFORE I even received the phone. The information may not be in the greatest organization -but- there is a lot of info there. I was writing them as I was doing it. You will see that I also collected a lot of info from other sites. Trying to get it all.

The one Page that I want to steer you to at present is:

TWRP_CWM_Use.html

The info on this page will tell you how to install TWRP and CWM.

The "other" pages can be accessed via the horizontal selections along the top. There is information in these WebPages on UN-Locking, rooting and S-Offing. Now S-Off was "originally" done with a 'wire'... sometimes referred to as a 'wor'... just to be funny. Anywho, there is now a way to do it without a 'wire'. Without a wire requires Linux and I used openSuSE -but- even though I accomplished it... it was NOT clean. Ubuntu is the recommended Linux. I'm just contrary and like my SuSE!! So I use it. I would be happy to work with anyone on making changes to their phone IF the info on my WebPages is NOT clear enough. Together we cold make it better... and I will credit anyone that does help... even IF it is by your receiving help.. but you also helped to make the help clear. What?? Yep.

My escapades involved the original Gingerbread, ICS, Cyan 10-1, Cyan 10-2 and naturally Cyan 11. Didn't really, really get into it all till Cyan 10-1. But you'll see it. I got to the point where my goal was to be able to take Neo's place IF he decided to move on. As luck would have it he offered the OP position to me and I accepted. Can't remember IF I ever told him of my goal or not. But the Lord knew, and I think He steered Neo to offer me the position.

Now, Gentlemen and any Ladies, If you visit those Pages and have any suggestions, -or- corrections, please let me know. Either from an E-mail on the site -or- a Message here. We aren't getting much traffic now-a-days. I am BAD at reading my E-mail. Especially from my site cause I normally get very little. -BUT- I will start checking it daily for a while just in case any of you have something to say.

Take care and enjoy,

Video Playback

I fully wiped and flashed the 7/18 version and I can't get any video playback. I messed with the developer hardware acceleration settings but still can't get any video to play at all. (youtube, snapchat, gallery, etc) It looks like this was working on a few past versions. Anybody have luck with fixing this?

The camcorder doesn't work in any application either, even when started in horizontal mode. I'm much more worried about video playback though.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I recently got playback working for everything on LS, camcorder has been broken a long time :p still looking to fix it
[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Just tried it myself ..

First - The "default Browser" has problems. It may, or may not function correctly. Personally I have been having problems with it for quite some time. Therefore, I use Firefox. Now with Firefox, I searched the Web for YouTube and found http://m.youtube.com/? And I was able to view the videos they have. So please try Firefox and see IF that helps. The "default Browser" fluctuates in its usefulness as far as I am concerned.

Second AND Third - These go together cause in order to get something to playback... you must record something. The Camcorder WILL RECORD. -BUT- only 3 times -and- then you have to reboot in order to get another 3, then reboot in order to get another 3... etc; Now with the "default camera" you can only start the recording in landscape or horizontal mode. After start you can rotate to vertical and it will still be ok. -BUT- IF you start in portrait or vertical mode the video is UN-viewable. Just before replying to this I recorded my desktop, with my fingers accidentally flashing in front of the lens, so I get some motion. I stopped the recorder and used the "default Video Player" to view my little episode.

I always forget something!! IF you install "Google Camera" you will NOT experience the portrait or vertical start mode problems. You will still have the three time limit though. .... OOOOOpppss.. I lied. "Google Camera" now fails in the portrait mode also!

We are working on the Camcorder issues. I'm not sure what can be done about the Browser ... yet. Other than just use Firefox for now.

Sorry for the inconveniences ... we are working on them,

-Chuck
