[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if youve already used an ruu once you dont need to do it everytime you flash a rom....and depending on the rom certain recoveries wont work for them...good example amon ra will not work for JB or higher....if staying on ICS or sense based roms stick with amon ra only....im guessing your looking for a good Sense based rom correct?.....as for converting apps...i highly suggest against it on sense rom and can cause issues with the rom...on aosp its fine but sense just doesnt like some of them
[HTC Rezound] RuLEoF2:
My mistake, but I should have been more specific. I've only re-flashed the RUU three... maybe four times since I've owned the phone and only as a last resort to fix a problem that a wipe and/or ROM re-flash alone wasn't correcting.

As for recovery, I've only used Amon Ra on my Rezound. It's what was recommended in the Team BAMF guide and I've stuck with it. I do prefer a sense-based ROM and ICS works fine for me right now. The HTC Incredible was my first smart phone and I rooted that within a month of getting it. I tried a few ROMs but eventually settled on Skyraider which I really liked. RezROM is the only comperable ROM that I've come accross for the Rezound, but if you have recommendations, I'll give them a try.

Here's what I've done so far. The ICS RUU linked in the Team BAMF guide was an internal flash through the bootloader. To eliminate that as a possible cause, I found a couple .exe versions to run from my PC.

On the first run, I immediately flashed RezROM and used Amon Ra to install Superuser and SU as you suggested. I updated Superuser and then installed a few basic root apps: Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, QuickBoot, Busy Box, Root Checker and Root Validator. There were no issues until I starting using those root apps. I was periodically rebooting and it wasn't until I updated Busybox and ran TBU and Root Explorer that the "Android is upgrading..." message came back. Worse than before, it was doing the "Optomizing apps # through ##" part where before it was just the "upgrading" message. I uninstalled all of them one-by-one but whatever happened was perminant because it didn't go away so I did a full wipe and used the second ICS RUU .exe. On the second run I stayed stock. Again, I used Amon Ra to install Superuser and SU. I updated Superuser and then installed those same basic root apps. So far, no issues.

With these results, it's pretty evident that the problem is ROM related, but not necessarily a bug as much as a compatibility discrepancy. This issue has never been this persistent until the last few months and within that time, there has been several updates for TBU, Root Explorer and Busybox. I agree that switching to a different ROM may be the ultimate solution, but unless there is one that is a RezROM comparable, I'm not ready to write it off just yet. If there's a way to pin point which app is the cause, I might be able to find a workaround or persuade the developer to come up with a fix, I'd much rather try that first.

But again, I'm certainly interested in trying out any ROM suggestions you might have to offer in the meantime.
[HTC Rezound] RuLEoF2:
In the process of trying to nail down this problem, I've discovered that it appears to have something to do with the relationship between superuser and RezROM.

Since I first flashed RezROM, I haven't been able to update superuser or the binary in any way. In addition to downloading from the market, I've tried re-installing superuser with Amon Ra, flashing it from the sdcard in recovery and from adb. No matter how I do it, I either lose root or it shuts down superuser's ability to detect requests from new root apps. I tried to find a solution but had no success so I just decided to ignore it as long as it didn't effect functionality. I've had root app issues here and there but always chalked it up to a bug with that particular app and either found a fix or ditched the app altogether.

I've been able to isolate superuser as the cause of the "upgrading" message issue with several full wipes, RezROM and RUU re-flashes. In my last three attempts to narrow it down, I did completely sterile RUU and RezROM flashes and used Root Explorer and Root Checker as test apps. In each attempt, I lost root and the "upgrading" messages returned as soon as I updated superuser or the binary. I tried doing the same with the stock ROM and with one of the BAMF ROMs and these problems don't occur with either of them.

So, with the "Android is upgrading" message popping up repeatedly, having new stability problems with previously dependable apps and increasing system bugs, it's apparent that the consequences of having such a severely outdated superuser has finally caught up with me. It definitely looks like RezROM is the problem and unless there are some options that I might try to fix it myself, it's up to the developer. I've contacted them but I'm not optimistic that they'll be willing to put any time into coming up with a fix since the Rezound is so "dated".
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
I had this popup on every boot on my Evo 3D with the stock ICS Sense 3.6 ROM, I still have it on my Rezound with a custom ICS Sense 4.1 ROM. I just assumed it's standard behaviour from Android, why would you think it's an issue if it doesn't cause any problems?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bjornlj:
Hi all,

We've tested direct-push to our exchange servers from a number or JasJars.

When we use Vodafone UK or T-Mobile UK, all is well, the device adjusts the ping frequence and ends up at around 30 minutes for both providers and all is well....

However with Orange, it stays at 480 seconds (the lowest default), after the timeout the device always logs PING FAILED.

We've noticed that Orange uses 3 different gateways on their GPRS network, when a connection is idle for approx 2 minutes it changes randomly to another gateway, when the Exchange box tries to send the packet back using the http(s)-keep alive the connection between the gateway and the device is lost, hence, the keep alive won't be returned, effectively rendering push-mail useless on orange.

They have confirmed to us that they do this to load balance their gateways and seem to have no plan to rectify this.

It's ironic since they advertise the new C600 rom on their homepage stating: "Get push mail now!" when it will only work for the first 2 minutes of each ping cycle.

Anyone else noticed this problem?

Cheers,

Tobey
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] madcapmagician:
I don't know if this is why it's not working for you but I just rang Orange to inquire where the push e-mail settings were and was told that it is currently on trial and only those users that received an MMS message inviting them to the trial can actually use it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Taz69:
I only received a SPV M5000 on Wednesday but ended talking to Orange Yesterday. Apparently they are having teething problems with the push email and it will be about another week before the push mail service is offered.

Even so I have now got push mail working with the standard settings by selecting Orange GPRS Internet as my connection instead of leaving it on Auto pick and using the 'Always on GPRS' registry hack.

I had already tweaked ISA & Exchange timeouts but push mail didn't start working until after applying the registry hack which I found from here.

They say talking to yourself is a sign of insanity, how about emailing yourself through out the day ??? :shock:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuclearBastard:
Hey there guys,

Just got my new pup two days ago, and it's absolutely fantastic. the change coming from GS2 is absolutely amazing.

Noticed though, that when i'm connected via my home Wi-Fi, WhatsApp seems to struggle for some reason. - Long delays sending messages, and receiving them. Hell, when I switched back to 3G like 30 messages from different groups popped up.

I've never encountered such problems with my good ol' GS2.

- Running rooted N5 with KANGAKAT + Franco's kernel. Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestar1992:
I know people may have asked this same question before but I wanted to get some personal opinions.

I am in UK and I can get galaxy s4(16gb) or Nexus 5 at almost same price(32gb). I am aware of the specs of each of the phone.

I like the clean and fast ui of nexus but I can always install a custom rom on s4 to do the same. I like the clean look and feel of the nexus hardware over s4 but s4 has few perks such as the IR blaster and expandable memory card slot and removable battery which I can replace for a bigger battery and also a 13mp camera.(I am an architecture student so I take a lot of pics). I use to have galaxy note 2 and it had a good battery life and good speaker which I have heard is the main problem with nexus 5.

What do you think, should I choose s4 or nexus 5

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaanJordaan:
I don't know how easy it is these days to flash to Samsung phones. Binary counters and what not.

Plus they really pissed me off by not open sourcing their drivers in my Note 1 days.

No ICS buttery smooth experience on CM9 there. And the bloat Samsung packages with their roms is just horrible.

IR blaster is a gimmick, just as a lot of other stuff it has. I wouldn't let that weigh in too much.

The camera is way better though. But I must say if you are going to take architectural pictures the N5 will not disappoint.

Moving subject are, even after the update, hit or miss. But still shots of buildings will look great.

Speaker on the N5 is no problem for me, although I only use it for YouTube videos.

Never used it for voice calls, but I don't expect good quality sound out of any phones speaker.

I would check how easy it is to install CM on the S4. It's probably easy given there is Google Play Edition.

For me physical buttons below the screen are a huge fail. And I will never buy another device that has them.

For the same price, it's a difficult decision. I love the N5 but I think the S4 build quality is a little bit better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benfiller:
Hi, I used to have a galaxy S4, it was an awesome phone but I switched to N5 and I'm very satisfied with it.

Like you said, N5 has a clean and fast ui compared to S4. Of course you can always have custom roms for that, but all custom AOSP based roms I tried had problems with the camera, especially HDR. So if you want to keep all features and camera quality, you will have to stay on stock ROM or touchwizz base roms, which I personnaly don't like because it isn't as fluid and snappy as AOSP base roms.

Concerning the battery, I have better battery time with the N5 even though it has a 2300mah (vs 2600mah for the S4). But both phones would last a day without charging.

So I would advise you to buy the N5 because the difference between 8 and 13mpx pictures is not huge :)

The only thing I miss from S4 is the sd card slot !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRiANj64:
IMO nexus 5 all the way. First it's generally cheaper. Second, it's a true developer device meaning it's unlocked in all possible ways(except hardware :P)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrypj:
I did see a review that said that the N5 did quite a bit better on battery than the S4. Maybe Anandtech
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Former S4 user here, really glad I made the switch to the N5. The only thing I miss is the SD card slot. I still wish I could use my 64gb card that is currently just sitting idle. Other than that, the N5 is better in every way.

A big part of the reason I switched is because of all the Knox crap that Samsung is installing on their phones now. It makes the whole rooting/flashing process a much bigger pain in the a$$. Plus, the battery life on my N5 has been at least as good as the S4, if not better. I would definitely advise you to go with the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
Son in law has the s4.. I have to admit the screen made me say 'wow'.. camera is also awesome

If you can live with the s600 chip set rather than the 800, I'd say get the s4, as long as it's the 9505 version you can put the gpe edition software on it if that's a concern.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Over saturated colours tend to do that at first glance. If you prefer accurate colours however, it's Nexus 5 all the way. Due to calibrating their screens Google has even given Apple a run for their money in this department.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
I went from an S4 to a Nexus 5 and haven't looked back. If you care at all about modding, get the Nexus 5. Samsung makes modding intentionally difficult by locking down the bootloader, and if you happen to screw something up, reflashing the factory firmware requires making a trip to a 'Samsung Experience Shop'. Samsung could easily make their bootloader unlockable, and they could release flashable firmware but they choose not to in order to discourage tinkering and modding. Their loss, as far as I'm concerned they may as well be Apple. With an S4, you're stuck with Touchwiz and a bunch of half-baked, gimmicky features that don't even work. If you really don't want to get the Nexus 5 and you must get a carrier phone, consider the Moto X. At least with the Moto X you get a stock Android user experience and you have the ability to mod.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
After using a friend's S4 I have to say I can never use a galaxy phone again. The horribly placed home button and the amoled screen makes me mad. Plus the amoled screen makes everything look almost fake, I prefer accurate colors.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Imho the only phone worth getting over the n5 is the z1. Im a former s3 user and have to say, I could never go back to samsung....

If you do get an s4, ensure its not the exynos version.

Here I have a S4, note 3 and the Nexus 5.

I bought the Nexus the last because I was bored of all the bloatware from Samsung...

Both Samsung got an awesome camera while the N5 is crap. But I don't really care since I don't take picture. If I need to picture I'll use my Canon.

The Nexus is way more fun to use everyday and it doesn't feel that cheap vs these 700-800$ device.

For the price, you can't go wrong
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Took the words right out of my mouth and I had the S4 (octa-lag version). Even with kernel guru Andrei_Lux, it still lagged. It was one of the more disappointing phones I've had in a while. Won't go Samsung again for a long time.

I have both the N5 and Z1 and while I love the N5, the Z1 is better in a number of respects. If i had to chose just one it would be the Z1. for business reasons I require two devices so thankfully i don't have to make choice but I agree with your statement
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netsyd:
Former S4 owner --> now N5 Owner.

If you can get an S4 that supports unlocking the boot loader (US AT&T doesn't for example) then I would still consider it a worth while device. Samsung piles on a ton of garbage into the ROM, but as long as you disable the bloat or go with a debated ROM as you mentioned then I had very few complaints. The camera was solid, you can purchase a cheap Qi receiver from Ebay and the battery was definitely better for me.

I still prefer the N5 though. The image stabilization on the camera has made for better low light performance and honestly the camera is still pretty good compared to the S4. The N5 is definitely faster and feels a bit better in the hand. It's not Moto X comfortable, but still really good.

Honestly, it's one of those choices that only you can make. I personally never got really, astonishingly good pictures with the S4 but I think I've gotten decent ones with the N5 so I don't feel like I've lost anything. Battery can be solved with something like the Powerskin Pop'n which I love, and I've yet to feel cramped with the built in 32GB of storage. For me it really boiled down to Samsung's locked boot loaders and slow updates.

I've come to realize that the only way to determine whether or not you like a phone is to try it out. I have a second line on my T-Mobile account that I use to test new devices. Yes, it's an extra $30/mo, and, there's the restocking fees, but, all in all, it's a very cheap hobby. Compared to golf, for example. (At least that's what I'm always telling my wife)

Just my 2 cents
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIPowerIII:
Here I have Exynos S4 and Note 3 and none are lagging. The reason why I got my N5 was because exynos got no roms at all to flash, there's no AOSP roms at all... Give me the N5 roms on my note 3 and I'm going back right away and sell my N5... But it won't happen :(

FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DN3 v5 4.4.2

1) You need to have Samsung 4.3 Bootloader or newer. MJ4 firmware Bootloader is recommended for those who wish to avoid knox counter.

Please use latest KitKat Bootloader if you wish to be able to charge your phone while turned off.

( You can flash this rom if your still on the 4.1.2 bootloader. But your going to have to flash Agni Kernel for Wi-Fi to function correcty. If by any chance after flashing the Rom and its stuck at the Samsung ;Reboot back into recovery and flash the rom again on top of what you just done without wiping anything, then the Rom should boot up with no problems. )

2) Make sure you have the latest TWRP/CWM recovery installed. TWRP recovery is recommended.

( If flashing with Twrp and after wiping your complete system (including internal). When you try to flash the Rom and you get a Failed!! Then reboot recovery which will tell you no Os installed. Swipe to reboot the recovery, then it going to ask if you want to flash Root. Just hit DO NOT INSTALL and the phone will reboot. Then find your Rom on your external Sd card. Flash the Rom let aroma finish and enjoy )

3) Next, remember to backup your app and your efs folder. That's something that you always should do before flashing anything

4) Go to TWRP/CWM recovery via pressing home + power + volume up button at the same time.

5) Make a nandroid backup if you haven't done so.

6) Use the "Clean to install a new rom" option in Wipe Data and system.(clean installation recommended)

7) (Reminder) Remember that everything you flash you do it at your own risk so do your research before flashing anyhting.

8) Now go to choose to install the rom zip file. If you using Philz recovery, make sure to untick "Don't Allow Old update-binary" if this option is avalaible.

9) Flash the rom. It should take less than 10 minutes till it boots.

10) Enjoy the ROM

PS: Please read :

IF U HAVE WIFI PROBLEM GO TO DR KETAN"S THREAD AND FLASH WIFI FIX . BOTH FILES.

Or you can also flash the Agni Kernel for all devices for working Wi-Fi...
