Good morning all.
Can someone tell me if the app Audiobooks (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5jcm9zc2ZvcndhcmQuYXVkaW9ib29rcyJd) will work with ICS ROM?
I am new to the Rezound and have not rooted/modded my phone yet. I have been a long time modder so I am sure I will figure that part out but I wanted to check to see if anyone has gotten that to work with a ICS version yet since I use it almost every day. And I dont want to flash the ICS firmware if that app doesnt work.
Thanks in advance.

Number one. Firmware doesn't matter. Flash. And yes just about anything works on it except a few games. And if it doesn't flash a gb rom with old fw patch.

Thanks I have tried that app on ICS on my incredible and it didnt work which makes me skeptical that it will work on ICS on the Rezound. As I said the firmware thing is a little new to, flashing on my last 3 phones seemed much more straight forward then on the Rezound.
Thanks again.

I use MortPlayer Audio Books and it works great on ICS.
Edit: I looked up that program and it is not just an audiobook reader. It actually downloads the books for you. I'm guessing from the Gutenberg project. I will install it let you know if it works.
Edit 2: Ok, the program doesn't work. It just force closes when you try to download a book. Looking at some reviews, it appears it is a common problem. I'm guessing the developer hasn't gotten all the bugs out yet.
But hey. Flash latest ruu and install gb and patch. Good to go.

I found out that the program downloads from LibriVox. There is an alternative program called LibriVox Audiobooks which I tried and worked. Not as slick as the other one but at least it works.

I have no idea what this will do to people that don't have the new update. Please install with extreme caution.
I deleted this in my Bloatware killing craze a few days ago. I decided I wanted to try it again after I found out about Sammy's little coming out party today. I'm assuming that some of the other's who updated to JI2 might have done the same thing. I searched the threads and didn't see that anyone pushed this yet. If this is a duplicate, please delete. This is my first "push post", so if there are any other issues please delete.
Stick on SD card, find it with "files" and install the .APK. Once again, I have no idea what this will do to Original firmware.
Also, I read somewhere that the movies you buy/rent might not work. LOL, hey but it's fun to watch the previews. If someone has purchased or rented a movie let us know.
Works great. thanks for posting.
working fine on stock rom...but looks useless
Says "Your location is not known or supported." Is that a bug?
Seems to work for me, but would be nice if there was some free content, otherwise its pretty much a waste for me right now.
I rented the Blues Brothers a few days ago and whenever I try playing it it says your phone does not support the required file format, even though I have eugene's newest rom installed. Any ideas?

I'm going to assume that they will push the codec with the official update. You do have JI2 right?

I do have JI2, and apparently that codec wasn't inclucded in the leaked update from a few weeks ago Ahh well...hopefully it'll come soon, but I'm not counting on it.
This might be the silver lining we all have been waiting for. Sammy wants out media hub money so they have to make it work. On that train of thought some sort of update should be coming.

Does anyone know if there is a default Wifi ROM for the Flyer I bought from Best Buy? I want to go back to the default setup as many things don't work.

I've not seen it floating around anywhere yet.
A bunch of us have been looking for this. I'd be a little more adventurous with the HC Beta ROMs if I had a failsafe in place (stock RUU).

Hm... what about their Facebook? Seems to be quite active. I think Honeycomb would give this tablet new life IMO.
I took a nose dive and installed honeycomb anyway. And I can say I am quite impressed only problem I have is fring and my fron facing came. It's just upside down in portrait mode. Other than that I have personally no problems and I use it all day. Hopefully a ruu will surface soon. But I won't need it until the real hc comes out for our flyers

Was the process pretty easy? Are you running the wi-fi flyer?
Its pretty easy to get to HC but you can't go back and while most things in HC beta work well, here's what I found.
Love the ROM. Only issues I have found are with the camera not working or very flaky with several apps including Skype, Paper Camera, Camera 360, SnapBooth, Notes, etc.
Additional bugs I found.
Mail widget stops working often
Bluetooth headset does not work properly. The devices pair fine and Audio out is ok , but the microphone on the head set is not used. Audio in is input from the Flyer's built in mic. I tired both a Jabra 3030 and a Motorola S9-HD
Tried with apps, Voice Search, Skype, and GrooveIP.
I have a wifi only US model Flyer
I've emailed them via their website, and get the standard "Thanks for you're email. We're working hard to provide the software updates you're asking about. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for the latest news."
I wasn't asking about a software update, just when the WiFi BB RUU would be release...so it must be a standard answer.

Yes I have the WiFi flyer. And yes the process is very easy. It's not noob friendly. I have a noon account but I'm not a noon been flashing and customizing phones and all since the g1 so always had adb. Just never contributed the knowledge I have. I had a lot of mistakes but figured out how to fix just by reading. Read up on everything first before you flash anything. The things it may do or may not do may or may not interest. Everyone one has the personal interests and pet peeves. I like it. But u might not. Read up on threads and posts and check it out.
Personal disclaimer.....lol
I can't stress this enough. I took the risks. My idea may not b the best idea. If anything happens. I don't know you and I was drunk when I typed this........lol

Pretty sure once we (wifi flyer people) go Honeycomb, you can't go back. LeeDroid is gingerbread, so no-go for us.
If you have a USA flyer, you are stuck with HC once you go. Other countries, some can get back to GB with a RUU flash. LeeDroid is GB.
The first thing I did when I got this thing was make a stock ROM from a backup. I have a deodexed, rooted, battery percentage version as well. If anyone wants it let me know. It's the shipped 1.36.1540.32 ROM.
Unfortunately that does not help if you install HC, you cannot use a backup of a GB ROM with the HC recovery.
I went back to gb. That leak was real bad. Lots of freezing and little issues. Don't say its my device, because i have 2 and both had a lot of the same little issues. The only thing i miss is mms pics being zoomable.
I hated the keyboard and some other Stuff
To me it felt more like a screwed up no good custom Rom by a rookie

I can 3rd this. Its running with zero problems on my device, both A1 and A2 of DaGr8's ROM. It could have been the method you used to flash the ROM, or some of the programs you possibly backed up, but for me i have had zero reboots, only one FC on Touchwiz which i don't use anymore, and no other glitches.
i switched back to GB too, ICS was almost perfect, only Navigon and tether not working (unless paying $50 to ATT).
I miss ICS, fell much smoother than GB, will switch back when we have more steady ROM.
I'm using Alpha II on both mine and my wife's - no issues. As for the keyboard, I'm using the latest Swiftkey 3 Tablet beta.
Out of the number of already active threads on the subject you needed your own?
Thur u arrrrrrgh
I notice the occasional hitch for a few minutes after a restart of the phone but after that everything is fine, though i cant seem to get samsung apps working and lost compatibility with a few apps that don't work even when sideloaded. Gonna stick it out till the final build is ready though.

i used the self installing exe rom. The original leak, not a custom rom. I dont want a custom rom either.
I didnt install any backups. I have all the apk's and use appmonster to install them all.
in mms the send and attach buttons where switched and my wife *****ed cause she kept hitting the attach button when she was trying to send.
I dont want a custom rom. If the self installing exe leak rom might be the problem, what other way can it be flashed? Only other thing i did was flash recovery and install SU
If you're having problems most people would say install fresh and DO NOT use a program to restore apps, download them one by one thru the app store.

yeah no kidding. I just said i install all my apps from apk's. Appmoster only starts the apk install one after another. it doesnt install them for you and its not backups.... its apk's
Another thing was the appliction monitor was always turning red just from having something as simple as web browser openned. The memory management seemed to be horable.
Im trying to locate another way to install, maybe odin or something.
It's too bad your against trying any custom roms. For one they get rid of all that at&t stuff you possibly never use; By doing that extra memory is freed up in the process. I didn't have that many issues when I flashed the self installing leak, but I decided to go with DAGR8's Alpha 2, it's faster than the stock leak was. Every time I re-flash a phone, I re-install everything from market, I don't backup anything. It doesn't take that long to type in my user / password and have everything synced back from the market anyway.

I freeze what i dont want.
Market installs APK's !!!! i have all the apk's i want installed and install them MYSELF. I AM NOT installing backups ..... geesh
so everyone happy with the ics must be running deodexex roms??????
that must be it. Like i said, ics leak is crap. its only good if you take and screw and tweak it.
its gonna be real sad when att pushes ota ics update. the phone is going to become a joke in the eyes of regular people who dont mess with these things
I'm running the leak as is, with no mods or root or anything, and it is ****in' fabulous. Aside from the known issue of the TW launcher initially crashing once or twice, it has been pretty much flawless.

This, right here, is why I am avoiding the upgrade.... Hell, it's why I haven't even rooted my phone yet. I would take some glitches and errors if the battery were improved. But since it's worse -- no way. More memory consumption too? Double no way.
How do you go back to gingerbread? i need to go back temporary

Hi...I'm new to the world of rooting and such...I rooted my Thunderbolt last week using the one-click program (found from different thread on XDA)...Now, I would like to install a more current rom since ICS is still not available. Also, I would like to improve this phone's perforrmace (I know it can do more).
There are a lot of different rom's at there and I am looking for something stable and does not cause any loss of phone features(very important)...The sense interface is nice, but I do not know what else people are using. If possilbe, something that is not an all day affair to download, setup and so-on.
Please give me some thoughts (I know this is very subjective, but most of you will have better insight that I do about what will work and the level of difficulty to set-up).
Also what happens to the phone when future updates are released from either HTC or Verizon??
My phone is Sense 2.1, Gingerbread 2.3.4 and Software(Radio??): 2.11.605.19710RD.
Also, will I have to worry about things like different kernels or radio upgrades??
I appreciate everyone's input in advance and I know there will be many thoughts.

HTC finished our ics build and we are now waiting on Verizon to decide whether or not to push the ota. If you're looking for a stable rom and everything works then try thundershed 1.6 or any rom with that as a base. They are all very good roms. I personally prefer sfkcm7.2. As for ics liquid ics is really very good and most of the issue with it are minimal. If a working camcorder is a must then its not for you.

Thank you for the information...can you reply with download links and screens shots for these rom's??
Also, can you help me understand what steps I will have to follow for this to work correctly?? Meaning additional software, formatting etc. so everything is working afterwards.
The Liquid ICS I think I will stay away from for now...What will happen when OTA updates are sent??
Sidebar: Currently, my Standalone GPS Services icon is constantly flashing in the toolbar and draining the battery...only way around is to manually toggle off & on the service...This started after I ran v6 supercharger script...Did I do something wrong or does this script not work well with the Thunderbolt??
Thanks again,

The only thing I would suggest that you download is 4ext recovery. There is a thread for it in the development forums. It will replace clockworkmod recovery with 4ext recovery and it is all touch screen. You can buy the full version from the market and I will say it is worth the money. If you dint have titanium backup that is another that you should download. You can get a free version from the market. Don't worry about otas once you flash an aosp rom. That has been disabled in the rom to prevent bad things from happening. Most sense based roms have it removed to but if you get the notification then postpone it as long as possible and Google how to disable it. I know the name of the file that needs to be renamed I just don't remember exactly where it is located.

Hello people, I am unrooted and have enjoyed my ATRIX 4g even though I have been stuck with the final ginger bread ota release at&t gave us and have waited patiently for the promised ota ICS upgrade which they now posted we will not get, I am aware that there is a Leak Test ICS that is buggy, and have been mods made or provided over here by your awesome developers bringing our devices up to JB level even, but am a fan of the functioning camera and finger print biometrics personally. I am a noob as far as Android rooting but very tech savvy and with devices and software in general, every app I have wanted to use has been great on this phone regardless of what version it was made for until today... I am quite into photo editing and have a ton of photo edit apps and engage in IG a bit, we as the underdogs over at IG were always fighting to make our tweaks and edits look as good as an Iphone edit mainly because they had an app called Snapseed, I was very pleased. When I read google had purchased this app drom NIK software a month ago and today it was finally released for Android, I went to Google Play and it for the first time ever said this app is not compatible with your device, it needs 4.0 or above in other words ICS, now my main question here is if I did root flash a mod similar to ICS or the unstable leak version will Google play still just see the signature of my phone and not allow a download or if I was running a new os would it get around that issue, I did also write the developer but doubt they are too concerned about making the app backward compatible as Google also purchased Motorola and offer a mere $100.00 towards upgrading to a different moto phone and I love this ine and do not have the money at the noment to do so.. any advice would be greatly appteciated, as to a a suitable os and whether or not it would even allow us Atrix 4g users to download Snapseed if our phone is recognized by its name and autodetection by googlr play tegardlrss of os, I mean it's a fast phone I've had no problems, everything works, dual core, good ram, speed stirage etc.. thanks Stu
Shows up fine on EPinter's CM10. Market just checks what version of Android your device is using. I haven't installed it to check, but will be doing so shortly. I'll get back to you about how it fairs on our devices.
Edit: After about 10 mins of playing around, it's running pretty well. No noticeable lag whatsoever. Kinda regret paying for PicSay Pro since this one seems to have a simpler UI.

Thanks very much sir, I will now have to look into this EPinter's CM10 and learn the whole process and hopefully not brick my phone, I'm good with directions, does the CM10 have a working camera and fingerprint scanner, and can I save my whole phone image if it all went south? I also paid for PicSayPro and many others too, love graphic arts and photography so the cam although only 5mp is important at times.
Anyway thanks very much yet again for the info.
No problem. Yes, you should make a nandroid backup once you have a custom recovery. It is one of the recommended steps followed by an exclamation mark. =P The only thing lacking on EPinter's CM10 is video camera (related to missing HWA due to improper kernel source) Regular camera works fine for still shots. I use camera fx & camera 360, both work without any issues. And No, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work since it's not a part of CM source.
There is an unofficial, "official" ICS (ICSROM & ATRICS) that has proper HWA with video camera and fingerprint scanner but the battery life is terrible and the phone gets really hot. I personally had random restarts every few minutes.EPinter's CM10 does well as a daily driver, but if you're going to go through the trouble, might as well try all the roms available! =D
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks very much for this info, I will research these downloads, I watched a youtube vid of cm10 and looked good, seems the Atrix is a bit more of a pain to work with than other Androids but will look into the whole process of unlocking and fastboots and the nanandroid back up etc.
Greatly appreciate the help.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the Atrix is a pain compared others, but once rooted with a custom recovery (IMHO RomRacer's custom CWM 5.0.2.7 is the best, never had issues) it's just like any other device. Heck, I remember flashing 3-4 ROMs a day, it was insane! =P
I would recommend downloading Titanium Backup from the market as well. It will help you quickly backup your most used apps w/ data/settings and reinstall them after installing a new ROM. Good luck and have fun.
P.S. Thanks for Snapseed!
