Pro Tips
Fix Bluetooth Range
Disable Wifi! This is a known HTC bug, and this is the current workaround.
How to enable "Press and hold back for menu"
Open settings > Display, gestures & buttons > Back button
How to enable Fast Charge (off by default)
Turn on:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
Turn off:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
How to fix data throttling (not related to rom)
1-Make a backup of your current build in cwm
2-Open root explorer and change r/o to r/w
3-Navigate to Data/System
4-Inside Data/System you will find a folder labeled Throttle
5-Long press Throttle folder and select permessions
6-Change permissions to Owner: read and execute only, everything els should be unchecked, when finished press ok and go back
7-Open Throttle folder and there should be two items in it if your on stock and three if your on Shevron Rom
8-Make copies of all items in throttle folder wether it be two or three and save them on your pc or a new folder on your sd..That way if something were to go wrong youd have your backup and copies of the files
9-Once you have made copies of the throttle folders contents delete them (wether it be two or three) from throttle folder
10-Back out of Data/System and change r/w back to r/o, exit root explorer and reboot
Cognition!! Can't wait to try it out, still remember my old Samsung Captivate days...
File is up! Ignore the reported file size on their site, not sure whats up with that. Its ~685MB.

Good morning
Great to see more ROM options coming to the AT&T One.
I have been following the CleanRom development and have a couple of suggestions for Cognition that scott had worked on.
Adding the long press back button for menu is a must have
The tether hack is a must (media Link HD won't work without it)
The Percent Battery Mod is very handy
The Ad Blocking HOST file is another must have
An advanced Power Menu is nice but not a problem if its not in their.
I would like to to see the tbalden sweep to wake and logo menu button built in @ some point
Looking forward to your progress with this project, and thanks for offering it here.
S.o.b I can't get any phone without dg being involved :thumbup:

my thoughts after 2 hours of use
Overall it's pretty smooth but it did seem like the screen is a little less sensitive in some apps ( Amazon - Google music - Play store )
9 apps out of date on first play store run ...including play store it's self
Sign up for dropbox on install only nets you a 2 gb account not 25 like the international version
No file manager installed
the home and back buttons seem less sensitive than normal/stock AT&T
Car Icon in app tray - Good, it's not in the AT&T rom's
Hotspot works
LTE Works but the 4G icons are missing
Bluetooth works ... used two different devices no problem
GPS / Maps work fine.
I'll continue testing and keep you posted

I loved that phone man, it was freaking indestructible, me and my room mate would toss our around the house with no worries. And since it was competing against the iPhone 4 for some of its life that was a great feature to win people over.
Also the battery clasp on the back was the most satisfying of any phone I've ever used.
But when it comes to performance I do love my new One!

I didn't do app update yet because I may be ripping out anything available on the market, probably add some options in aroma for them.
I'll look into the dropbox thing, but I am pretty sure that is due to build.prop stuff
filemanagers galore on the market, again, probably something I will add to aroma
sensitivity should be up a bit in the next build, let know
the 4G/4G LTE icons are an AT&T thing, I prefer the ones in there now, much cleaner, again, maybe an aroma option later

I opted for logo2menu instead of long pressing back button, much cleaner.
I don't have the media link hd to test with, if anyone has one and can test, let me know
I will be adding aroma installer later and including options like percent battery and hosts file
Sweep2wake, logo2menu, logo2wake are all in the next version
Baby thus is a hot cake

Same Here Glad I have the same phone as designgears
I have change my mind on logo2menu, I thought the htc logo was the button, but its a small space above it on the screen.
The reason I like a file manager pre installed is I keep a set of apps on the phone/sd and no way to install them without adding a google account and downloading one. Updating the stock apps is no big deal just kind of a courtesy I suppose. The 3 dot menu takes screen space is why i prefer the long press back.
+1 on the 4G/4G LTE icons are an AT&T thing, I prefer the ones in there now, much cleaner. Agree was just making the observation.
The screen and button sensitivity is high on my wish list. Seems I'm hitting the home and back buttons 3 and 4 times before they respond, never had that on the AT&T Roms.
Took some photos the camera seems normal ...not sure what the fix for it was suppose to do.
Play Music forced closed on the first start but worked fine after that.
4G LTE Speeds seem the same as they were on CleanRom/Stock
Wifi may actually be a little faster now.
It took several hours for the lock screen clock to show my actual city name and not just "My Location"
Couple of benchmarks the Stock One is the higher of the 2
LOL benchmarks

The benchmarks are mostly useless, scores on both fluctuate enough to call them equal imo.
Not sure whats with the "my location", I only saw it on first boot.
No FC on play music first run for me, might have been in the middle of an update.

I agree with you there. That was the only Samsung I've ever owned that didn't fly apart when it hit the ground. The AT&T guys broke two before they figured that clasp out.
Cognition ROM seems smooth so far. Ran it most of last night and today.

Tips/Support/Future Release Information
History and Explanation of this ROM:
This ROM was started as a Project to help me along the ways to becoming a developer for Android. I don't classify myself as a "good" developer, but this ROM has taught me a lot and the information I have come across since the initial build of this ROM has made me that much better at becoming what I need to be to make this ROM and Project a reality.
The reason why I choose GO! Apps over AOSP is the fact that they have so many features and really isolate a lot of battery drain. The developers @GO! have did an amazing job with these apps and are used in place until I finish building the actual wp7 apps from source. Once I have accomplished a good foundation for those apps, I will replace them to match the theme of this ROM. The goal is to get wp7 UI on Android and not just by replacing a few apps here and there. This will be a project and the day that this ROM is "complete" is when ALL apps(everything that I or any developer supporting this ROM can touch) with a WP7 styling.
Why? Because I honestly feel that WP7 has one of the cleanest and nicest UI's that I have seen on a mobile device. But I choose Android over wp7 because of the Potential the Android platform has with the UNLIMITED customization and the openness of Android. WP7 will probably never have the number of features that Android can offer and with Google's push to keep things open as much as they can, Microsoft has no chance. So, with that comes me and my project(I'm sure there are others as well) to get that WP7 clean and slick UI to our Android Devices.
The Blur camera is used over AOSP because I have had less compatibility issues with the Blur Camera as opposed to AOSP; especially trying to record Hi Def videos on the x2. Soon there will be an AOSP Camera app and soon everything will be built from source.
Tips:
-Check out =yankoa @deviantart.com for some nice icons for your tiles.
-To unpin from the home screen, Hold>Click Upper Right icon.
-To move tiles, Hold>Drag to where ever>Back Button.
-To enable swype, just go through the installer process. Once complete. You can uninstall the Installer.
-To enable the WP7 Popups. Go to PopUP SMS and enable through that application. You can then Change the Tile color for the Popup. It will be a Block at the top of your screen when you receive a Text Message. You can click on the Text to view in Default SMS app or click X to remove the Tile. You can then disable by uninstalling the App or Untick the box. Make sure you set Go SMS to not disable other Notifications. And to Turn off Go SMS Notifications.
-You can remove apps from the Drawer by holding the app of choice and remove. **This does not Uninstall**
-You can change the App Drawer to the normal android drawer within Launcher7 Settings. Just press menu select option.
-You can change the Tile Color within Launcher7 settings
-To pin other apps to front page, go to drawer, select and hold app, pin to home. Then in the settings you can choose what options you want for the tile.
Warning: DO NOT REMOVE LAUNCHER 7 FROM SYSTEM/APP FOLDER! YOU WILL KILL THE LAUNCHER AND FORCE A SBF IF YOU HAVEN'T SETUP SYSTEM RECOVERY!
How you can help:
-Check the Known Bugs section of the first post if you find a bug. If the bug is not listed, Post within this thread.
-Donate to the developer/Press Thanks Button/Nominate for Developer of the Month.
-There are some issues I am having with the theming. If you see an error(white text on white background), send me a PM or post on this thread the solution. I know some but not all and the quicker I get the solution, the quicker I can get you and the rest of the community a Patch.
Future Release Info:
-Sense UI Transitions
I'm not totally sure if this is possible due to a locked BootLoader, But I plan on building a new launcher from the ground up on the next major release which should allow me to make these transitions and also add live tile support. This is not something to be talked about at current on this forum. PM me if you have any advice or know what you are doing when it comes to developing, to get this feature quicker.
-Port/Build wp7 system apps(dialer, phone, sms, etc)
This is going to be my next venture in android development. I want to build the apps from source and try to recreate the look and function of the wp7 apps for a better wp7 look.
-Theme Manager
Of all my plans, this will probably be the first to be completed; as for future development goes. This will allow quick swapping of the theme. The overall look will stay inverted with color accents(hold on a notification) for a more custom look when you flash this rom. The idea should work with other x2 roms, and possibly other devices. The Theme Manager will allow users to also create his or her own theme(whether custom, UOT, and/or within the actual theme manager) and allow quick swapping of elements within the ROM. This will more than likely be a GBP7 only release, with two market versions(paid/free) for other developers and users to use. Think of it like Liberty Toolbox, but for themes.
-PowerMod v2
I'm going to probably start testing this after I get a patch or two released, and when the next major release comes out(2.3.5) I will probably be including this if the tests go well.
downloading now. this looks very promising and im actually more excited to tryout this rom over any others in the past due to the fact that this looks completely different.
Any idea when the notifications issue will be straightened out? if not, no prob, keep up the good work!
Downloading, can't wait to try!

Thanks for the excitement! lol makes me feel better with the time I've had with this.
As soon as I find the error. The problem lies with me adding the Toggle notifications to the dropdown. I'm still trying to figure out how to edit the xml files lol .. but should be within a couple days I'll release a patch just for that issue.
I'll definately be trying this out after one or two releases are done to get some bugs out. I hope you stick with this and make it. It looks very promising.

Thanks. Right now there aren't really any "Bugs" that I can find anyway. The only problem is the notifcation pulldown lol... its set to black text and Im still trying to figure out how to edit the xml files. Once I can do that, ill be set. OR i could just change the background of the notfication to something else...Probably end up doing that.
Hmm would it be okay to update the road runner scripts to the sonic scripts v2 to v3? Thinking about giving this a try.
IMO you should've named the ROM WindowBread 7 or GingerWindow 7
I just gave it a run it does feel like its beta it looked nice when I went to install swype it goes to a user name and pass word for swype beta I don't have them couldn't log in so couldn't install friend caster didn't want to work after log in kept popping up that it wasn't a valid copy and wanted me to pay for it it was really jumpy not very responsive the music tile force closed so I removed it and couldn't find a way to put it back on but hey could b me I may try out again after it goes threw a few builds and gets refined great look and concept I look forward to were it goes and am willing to try again thanks for your hard work I'm not bad mouthing it just saying some things are off and its in need of more development and refinement but thanks and in another note the system recovery android worked flawlessly to revert my system

Thank you for trying this out. I probably forgot to swap the friendcaster pro for the free one. You can add other tiles in from the app drawer and you can edit tiles by holding them, then clicking the configuration button upper left side of tile.
Ahh I see with the music tile there was no music app in the drawer and I hadn't give threw ti backup yet for my music app but like I said looks promising I hope u continue on it and do not let the haters get on ya I look forward to future versions

Thanks, and I'm glad you found out how to edit the files.
A little information about me. IM NOT A DEVELOPER PERSEE. haha this rom is for me to tinker with and to learn how to develop for future ideas and apps. This rom will have my full support and will probably get updated frequently over the next few weeks as I learn different things and make it better. Right now I'm trying to get the Notification issue worked out(black BG on black text). It's a simple fix, but Ive got other daily things I have to take care of. I work everyday except Sundays, thus giving me limited time to work with. But I'm constantly editing the Rom. I've had it now for like 3 weeks and I've been tinkering with it as I can, trying to learn the limitations and work arounds. The Launcher needs edited BADLY and as soon as I have got a feel for xml editing and app production, I will start working on it to Automatically have certain tiles set and eventually add Live Tile support like the WP7s(this should be like 1-2 months away ..) But I will be getting the ROM bloat free and More AOSP and HOPEFULLY blurless by next weekend, Maybe middle of next week. Still waiting on feedback to determine whether to use AOSP text messaging and Dialer or Use GO! replacements and other APPS that need to go or come to the rom. PERSONALLY, I like the GO! replacements for the features they have in them(SMS has FB Chat Integration as well as a DATA IM Client, all of which runs within your SMS app).
You could always make to versions one with go one more asop and get feedback on both before u decide which one to develop more

Thats not a bad idea actually. My only worry is the setup phase of this phone. Its been very aggravating flashing my phone multiple times a day and setting up my other apps that I don't have featured in this and setting up my accounts back on the phone. But I will probably do that after this next release.
QUESTION FOR ALL!!!
Does anyone know how to put Swype Beta's data file in the data/data folder when flashing a rom? I tried to put my license within the data folder upon bootup, but I don't think it flashed and the way it was setup in tests was I had the data folder set correctly for flashing, but it didnt flash the /data/data/ folder. The line is *command_here_extract_folder* /data which dumps the contents of /data/ from .zip to /data/ of the phone. Weird, but it don't work sadly .. any ideas? or is just keeping the installer fine till the official is released?
If the power doesn't go off tonight, I will be uploading an update fixing the notifications and removing/moving some of the apps that aren't useful. Hopefully around 9 est. You should have it.

## FAQ Updated
v3.0 universal(15/OCT/11)
Initial Universal Release
FAQ:
Do I need to or will it Wipe Data ?
NO, it can be installed easily on your stock/custom MIUI Rom.
I have to place some icons myself like Radio icon, blah blah blah..
As this MOD is developed on Vibrant. You may need to move your ass and do place 1-2 icons yourself wherever you like. Else send me one I9000.
What kernel are you using in this??
NO kernel included in this mod. It is always recommended to flash desired kernel before this MOD to ensure tweaks remain intact. Recommended to set max freq to 1000MHz for better battery life.
My icons seems misplaced?
This happens when internal update takes place. Place it back in respective folder.
My widget disappeared, what do I do next?
Nothing. Keep data connection on. And give a reboot.
It will appear. If not remove and re-add by long press.
The Live Wallpaper provided goes into half loaded state on each homescreen, what do I do?
Nothing, it will fix itself. However, if you want quick fix.. use Auto Killer and Kill all apps.
Is this available for or Can I use this for <some other> phone?
You can always try Universal Version.
I am not getting theme applied, no maps, no custom apps??
Definitely, you didnt followed STEP 4 of mounting data, datadata, system, sdcard.
I am getting <some weird> problem??
If you followed and read OP carefully. Be calmed, you did nothing wrong.
The problem you facing is most probably from source MIUI ROM. This MOD only intends to add more functionality.

Looks very tempting indeed. Will have to wait til this evening and flash at home......anyone else giving this a try?
so its like theme mod? is there any requirements for the miui ROM? i mean like before 10.14 or after
Guys don't flash this yet. I'm the reason it's here, and it is not ready for our phones yet.
OP, I told you this wasn't working, I'm sorry for my initial positive pm but this definitely will not work for our phones. It causes an android.phone FC which as far as I can tell is because it has a build.prop from the vibrant. I couldn't find anything else that would cause the error I got in my report. So once you fix that it should be ready... until then nobody try this unless you make nandroids first and just want to doublecheck.

yep. I had actually approached the dev asking if he could port it to our phones a few days ago and he told me to try that which didn't work for me. I got the reports sent out and figured out it was killing the cdma radio somehow, giving a stack exception when trying to connect.

well looks like i eff'd up and flashed this too. man this some bull.
Can't wait for the this to be worked out. Looks very nice!
Agreed...this looks great and I'm glad I read the posts before flashing as it looks like it needs to go back in the oven for a bit. Hope it can be worked out for our phones as this would be very nice to have working

v1.1
You must be on the latest firmware (4.03.605.2) to use this ROM. There are several ways to go about doing this but I suggest installing the RUU. If you have already upgraded, flash away my friend.
S-off Installation
Install the RUU, install a custom recovery, flash the ROM.
S-on Installation
Lock the bootloader, install the RUU, unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, flash the ROM, flash the s-on kernel. (If you have been debating on going s-off, now is the time to do so. Do that before installing the 4.03 RUU)

Not really a bug but I forgot to change the about phone info to refect v1.1. Just disregard that. You can confirm your version by looking at the dialer. If the back ground it different than the screenshots, you have v1.1. Also can look at MMS convo bubbles. Sense 4 = v1.1.

Q: How do I install this?
A: You must be either s-off or s-on with unlocked bootloader, have a custom recovery, and be on the global firmware to install and use this rom. If you don't know what this means, take advantage of the handy search feature that xda has provided. There are numerous useful threads out there for the Rezound. Basic installation instructions are provided at the top of the OP for s-off and s-on.
Q: Can I dirty flash this rom?
A: If you are coming from another rom then a full wipe is recommended. If you chose to dirty flash and have problems, please don't post your issue. Do a full wipe and reflash the rom. If you continue to have an issue, you can proceed to ask for advice.
Q: Why did you make this rom when we already have several others?
A: My goal with this project was to make a rom set up the way I like it with the mods and tweaks I find the most useful. I believe the masses will agree with my decisions. In conjunction, my intent was to focus on battery life as it pertains to my phone. I am not making any claims that this rom provides better battery life than anything else available. Every phone reacts different to every rom so you will need to test and find what works best for you.
Q: Why did you remove X, Y and Z?
A: X, Y and Z were removed because they are features only used by a few people and there is no need to include it for everyone else. In accommodation for the few people that use X, Y and Z, I have posted Add-ons that will add back features removed on a case by case basis. These can be found in post 4. In addition, you can check the Mods section in post 4 for additional revert files and mods. If a feature was removed that you use and it is not available in post 4, post your request and I will provide a flashable file for you.
Q: Can you explain what was changed with the auto brightness settings?
A: HTC has provided very moderate default auto brightness values. While this is good in high light situations, it is not needed in low light situations and increases the battery consumption. The big beautiful screen on the Rezound is very nice to look at, but it sacrifices battery life to accommodate it. I have reduced the brightness level of the screen over most of the range of ambient light values. The percent change varies for each level but it ranges from a reduction of 4.5% all the way to 66.7%. I'm still searching for those 'magically' values but what I have got so far seems to work very well for the typical lighting conditions the phone will see on a daily bases.
Q: Why aren't my buttons lighting up, did you break my phone?
A: I have turned the capactive button backlights off when using auto brightness unless the lowest state is being used. Since you can see buttons without the lights on there is no need for it and its just wasting battery. However, I have set it up to turn on when the phone is at it's lowest brightness state. This way they can be seen in the dark. The brightness of the backlights have also been reduced when they are on. If you want them off all the time, there are apps in the Play Store that can do this for you. One such app is rootdim.
Q: Your feature list says 'Better HTC Percent Battery.' What does this mean?
A: Every rom that I have used for the Rezound that includes the stock looking percent battery all use the same old icons from older phones. These icons are smaller as they were for hdpi devices. Also the text is small and hard to read. The old icons are either placed in the hdpi folder and the phone resizes them to fit xhdpi or they are enlarged before hand. Either way, this results in a somewhat blurry image. So what I have done is created all new icons that use true xhdpi battery images. I have increased the height of the battery slightly and used a larger font size so the percent is easier to see. In addition, I used the Roboto font since it's what comes with the rom. If you are a themer, modder, dev and want to use my new battery for you work, please don't kang. Ask and you shall receive and give credit where credit is due.
Q: How can I get wifi tethering to work?
A: I have removed the VZW hotspot feature and included WiFi Tether for Root Users. Open the app and hit menu > settings. Change the Device-Profile to HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/GSM). Change the Setup-Method to Netd (master). Scroll down and find Routing fix and enable it (box checked). You can also setup WiFi-Encryption if you prefer. If you happen to pay for Mobile Hotspot through Verizon, there is an add-on that will give that back to you. It will also add the hot spot quick setting.
How do I get that clock widget in your screenshots?
A: What you see is my Sense 4 Clock widget. Go to the widgets list and look for Sense 4 Clock. The version included in the rom is v4.2 for Sense 3.x launchers. It is not a "Sense" widget so it does not use the weather info obtained by the HTC weather app. It uses Google for the source. More info about the widget as well as themes can be found in my thread here.
Q: I don't see the beats notification when I use my Play Store app, how do I know it's on?
A: The Beats notification is an apk that is triggered/enabled for the native HTC music player only. Therefore, you will only see the notification when use that player; however that doesn't mean its not working. There just isn't a persistent notification telling you its on.
Does <insert name>'s mod work with this rom?
A: This depends on the mod. Keep in mind this is an odex rom and damn near all mods posted are deodex. However, this does not necessarily mean it won't work as you can use deodex mods on odex roms if you do an extra step. If the mod is made for an older update (pre-global) or changes certain files like framework-res.apk, com.htc.resource.apk or SystemUI.apk it will break the features of the rom and/or cause boot loops. Please post your questions and a link to it if you want to use a mod by someone.
Q: Why wasn't the Facebook app updated?
A: Let's face it. The Facebook app sucks and seems to get worse with every update. There are some pretty fun reviews in the Play Store if you want a good laugh. Unfortunately you have to have it for Facebook for Sense to work. I have found adding the latest version in the rom, causes an issue where Facebook fails to authorize after each reboot. This causes your contacts not to sync until you sign in again. If I leave the older version in, then update the app with the latest build after the fact, this issue is gone.
Q: Why is the App Associations still in settings?
A: HTC is continually fine tuning, if you will, the app associations due to crApple's lawsuit. The global update received a more recent version, From what I can tell based on the changes made to Settings, the newer version has items related to YouTube in it although if you look in the Settings on the phone you won't see it mentioned. Also, included with the other changes is how the Settings entry is handled. Prior, the build.prop edit would remove it from Settings and fix the links. The edit still fixes the links, but it no longer removes it from Settings. I spent a good 4 hours trying to track down an edit that would remove it from Settings but my attempts all ended in force closes.

This is the flashable kernel for S-on users. It is a modified version of the stock kernel that comes with the global RUU. The modifications allow for a couple of the rom's features. Flash this file in RECOVERY. Do not rename it to PH.. and try to install via bootloader. The PH file will be automatically placed on your sdcard and your phone will reboot to hboot for you. Press the power button to enter bootloader and start the update. Remove the file from your sdcard after.

This ROM looks sick can't wait to download it and give it a try. Great work
Enjoy guys. This has been about 2-3 weeks in the making. Started with making a themed version of the ota then the global update hit and had to start all over. With that said, you can expect a themed version in the near future. If you have previously owned a thunderbolt you might have seen the theme but it was the stock look of a rom port. I made the theme for personal use on every rom I ran on the thunderbolt but I never released it.
Wellll you've convinced me to soff the new rezound and go global. It looks as though you've been extremely thorough with this, hopefully I'll be running this tomorrow.

I, for one, can't wait to make a backup and flash this. The only thing missing that I see is Ad-Blocking. I hate ad's while playing AB.

Left it out on purpose. There are numerous ad blocking apps on the market. Adding host files to the rom negatively impacts some people and its easier for those that want them to get an app than to remove them. But I understand where you are coming from.

You can get the ad blocker from the market. I like the fact its not included because it breaks some of my emails through the browser.

No mirrors please. I pay for mediafire premium so the download should be full speed.
Fair enough. Don't worry about the download speed it flies.
Looks like what I've been waiting for in a rom. Is the dialer themed while in a call as well or just when you dial? Also, is there a mod to make the app drawer text normal size for us older crack flashers? If not, that's cool. This is really a highly polished rom that you should be proud of. Thanks

Yes. Dialer is themed while in a call too. Anyone that has used any of my themes know I don't half ass anything. Lol. As for the app drawer mod, are you looking for page scroll or free scroll?

Credit where credit is due:
As with any open source stuff, some of this work is my own, most of it comes from other sources. So in addition to my own work (mostly in the "mean" category), here's a quick thanks to those of you who contributed knowingly (thank you) and not-so-knowingly via open source 5 finger discount (thank you just the same: your stuff is good and that's why I used it). Sometimes it's not entirely obvious where the source started so if I missed someone, please let me know and I'll add you. Also, I'm careful to only include other work where the author does not specify any usage restrictions or has given approval. If you believe, however, that I've included something that shouldn't be in this ROM, please just PM me.
Credit krowley3: I used your Sophisticated ROM as a base (thanks for the offer!)!
Other credits: I list them in the features section above and give links to the original works so you can donate to other devs for specific mods you like!
Want my stuff?:
I list credits in the features section above and links to original works: if you see something credited there and you want to use it, click the link and seek permission from the developer I've credited. If you see something in this ROM and I don't reference some other source, I probably coded it myself. If you want it: take it and use it in your ROM, your theme, whatever you like. I just ask that you please credit me. I'm a firm believer in Android and open source so you don't even have to ask. Anything you see here... it's yours for just the price of a simple line crediting me. I always share as I believe that's the way we developers put the power in Android... and one way we can fight "the Apple brainwashing machine".
Below are some pointers on updating your firmware, installing recoveries, modding, etc. before we get to the good stuff (installation and downloads).
CHANGELOG:
See post #2
Problems after you flash?:
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PROBLEMS IN THIS THREAD UNTIL you've done a full wipe and fresh install to see if that cures it. I know I should really just do like most devs and proclaim REQUIRES FULL WIPE/FRESH INSTALL on every version. That saves me a lot of headaches but I know what a PITA a fresh install can be even with MyBackup or Titanium at your disposal. So it never hurts to try just a flash without a full wipe, but if you run into any HINT of a problem... anything at all... don't report the problem in this thread until you've tried a full wipe and fresh install first to see if that cures the problem!
Note regarding tweaks: don't flash tweaks or themes on top unless you KNOW the tweak/theme is compatible with the the MJ9 base
Installation - a final note:
First, the usual disclaimers. I supply the ammo, you use it. ROMS don't kill phones, n00bs do. Use this ROM at your own risk as I won't be responsible for bricks or any other untoward happenings. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the stuff in this ROM is fast, smooth, and compatible. But... it always helps to have some familiarity with flashing ROMs to keep yourself safe.
Download links are below
Now to installation of the ROM itself...
Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!
Use Odin 3.07 to install MJ9 firmware.
On first install of MeanBean Reborn, do a full wipe (although rumor is I dirty flashed from MeanBean ICE MC3 base... but I'll never admit it).
Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...
If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall
Install using recovery (I use latest TWRP)
... you're gonna break it!
Don't flash any other mods, tweaks, or themes unless they specifically say they are built for (the latest version of) MeanBean or you WILL break features in this ROM and/or cause instability! While this ROM is designed to have the general look/feel of the stock ROM, it is highly customized under the hood and mods, tweaks, or themes not designed specifically for this ROM will cause problems. If you want this ROM to run perfectly without any issues, do not flash anything on top.
Latest releases (TWRP recovery recommended):

Zero battery drain extended screen-off volume controls - usage
The volume buttons on the left side of the phone can be used to perform special functions when the screen is turned off. Because this is a modification to the framework and the code is never executed until you press the volume keys with the screen off, it uses zero battery unlike some of the apps you find on Google Play that are always running in the background, draining your battery as they monitor key status. Usage is as follows:
TAP for volume: Simply tap volume up/down to increase/decrease volume.
LONG PRESS to skip tracks: Press and hold volume up/down for 0.5 second (but not more than 1 second) to skip to next/prev. track.
VERY LONG PRESS to play/pause: Press and hold volume up/down for 1 second (but not more than 2 seconds) to skip to next/prev. track.
HOLD to turn torch light on/off: Press and hold volume up/down for at least 2 seconds to turn torch light on/off.
Once you get a feel for the timing, it's very easy to operate!
Turning off Zero Wake Lag
If you want maximum battery life and you don't mind the screen-on delay, you can turn off the ZWL mod. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and open /system/build.prop with /system in R/W mode. Then locate this line at the very bottom of the file:
Code:
meanbean.opt.zerowakelag=true
Change to this:
Code:
meanbean.opt.zerowakelag=false
Turning on Music Notifications
By default, notification sounds don't play while you are listening to music so that your music is not being constantly interrupted by notifications from your email, Kik Messenger, text messaging app, SnapChat and other apps that use push notifications. Notifications work normally when no music is playing. Most people prefer to listen to music without these constant interruptions and without having to resort to airplane mode or turning notification volume all the way down manually. If you do want notification sounds, however, you can turn them on so that they play even during music by making the following change in the build.prop file. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and open /system/build.prop with /system in R/W mode. Then locate this line at the very bottom of the file:
Code:
meanbean.opt.musicnotify=false
Change to this:
Code:
meanbean.opt.musicnotify=true
Wanna make your gallery super fast?
If you're tired of the stuttering and not even being able to scroll your gallery and you don't care about Samsung AllShare Cast, use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and just delete these files from /system/app, reboot, and watch your gallery fly!
AllShareCastPlayer.apk
AllshareControlShare.apk
AllshareFileShare.apk
AllshareFileShareClient.apk
AllshareFileShareServer.apk
AllshareMediaServer.apk

Thanks for this, finally worked up the nerve to update my firmware (ODIN hates me more than my mother-in-law) and playing with these new ROM's is great! Coming from 4.1.2 this is quite refreshing...
Was wondering if you were considering some N3 features, I saw a mod to add them, but this software looks tight, if I try that mod and it works I will report back...
Thanks!

No worries! I am excited to see what you can do with it. I know that you will make this awesome. I may be getting with you soon though for a few tips and possibly an international build similar to ICE. It may just need your GPS touch I am downloading N7105 ML3 now:good:

Sounds great! Let's team up. If you wanna take on the international version, I'll probably stick here with the VZW edition. Just don't have the time to debug and tweak the international base but I'd be happy to port some stuff (like zero wake lag and GPS) as I can.

You are probably trying to give it the compressed file: you have to use 7Zip or something to unzip the MD5 file out of that. It's the MD5 file that Odin wants. Otherwise sounds like you're doing it right.

So you didn't feel like basing on a ROM that seems to require a flash back to stock for it to work properly?
I'm shocked!
Excitement With Verizion Note 2 Again!
This is quite the team. Couldn't wait to get home and download this rom. Installing shortly. Thanks.
The HTC Sense Car Mode app had some features removed or changed from the previous versions. Namely, statusbar pulldown has been blocked, along with switching apps and basically multitasking.
The reason for this is probably safety; to discourage drivers from tinkering too much with their phones while driving - and while I'm fully behind that I believe in giving people options - which is why I created this module!
So far it allows you to:
Bring back multitasking (status bar and 'recent apps' functionality).
Release the 'Home' button to let it go back to the default launcher.
Replace the default 3-Tap gesture action with anything you want!
Turn Wi-Fi and GPS on or off at startup and shutdown.
Bypass the exit confirmation dialog.
Automatically close apps opened from within the Car App on shutdown (requires root to be fully functional!)
And more features coming in all the time!
If you love the HTC Car app as much as I do, you'll enjoy this!

Information
Why disable a safety feature?
The HTC Car App introduced those blocking 'features' for an obvious reason: to discourage people from fumbling around with their phones while driving.
That's a good and important cause, but unfortunately it's not a very smart method of doing it - which is why this module was created. Consider the following scenario: You're in your default navigation app with the music player (which is controllable by the car app) running in the background. You want to skip the currently playing track. If everything's at stock, the new restrictions make it an annoyingly long process: You have to click the home button, enter the music control applet, skip the track as you normally would, then click the home button again, find the navigation app's icon and re-launch it. Without those restrictions all you do is pull down the statusbar, click the 'skip' button on the music player's active notification tile, and pull it back up.
HTC's restrictions - which are supposed to increase safety and attention while driving actually make it longer and more attention-consuming to perform such tasks.
This module allows you to overcome those restrictions, mostly, but I must still say - and I can not overstate this enough:
DRIVE SAFELY!
DON'T OPERATE YOUR DEVICE WHILE DRIVING !
Play music, navigate, make and take calls - but do so safely without fumbling around.
If anything doesn't work with less then three touches of the screen, or if it requires you to look at your device for more than a split-second glance - either forget about it or pull over! It's not worth it!
Works as advertised. Upgraded from Sense 5.5 just so I could enable this mod and get to my notifications. Thanks!
Very cool. I use the HTC car app quite a bit and always hated that I had to close it to access anything else. What other tweaks are possible? It would be nice to be able to switch the default music app to Google Music. Disabling wifi on launch would also be slick.
BTW, this works fine on the M7 with Sense 6.

Currently I'm mostly battling with basic things like making the 'recent apps' button work and making the settings toggleable without restarting. Once I get the basics working, I'll start seeing what else I can tinker with. Switching the default music app is not going to be easy because it's deeply integrated within the app, but I'll see what I can do.
As for the wifi, that shouldn't be too difficult.
Glad to hear it's working on other devices as well.
Please add support for all apps in car mode! Currently you can add only a few apps .. For example you can't add Torque
Looks like the 1.1 version changes caused it to stop working with the M7 :crying:
ETA: Looks like it functions properly if "take over home button" is disabled. With that unchecked you can access the pulldown menu as well as reach the desktop or recent apps using the home button.

It might be something else, I noticed that the settings won't take until you run the settings interface at least once.
Please try to re-enable the setting and see if anything changes.
Thanks for the report!

I am pretty sure that I ran settings app prior to trying it out, not completely sure though. I just toggled the home screen option and get the same results. It only works if it is not selected.

Hmm. I'm not getting that on the M8, but I'll look into it.
Unfortunately I don't have an M7 to test on.
Could you for the sake of testing go to the settings interface - uncheck both boxes, then recheck both boxes, then restart your device and see if it works then?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I think I know what's causing it:
The mods don't take if the car app is running in the background because it hooks into methods as they load.
There's a command to kill it if it's running in the background and settings have been changed, but it might not have taken - or rather, it also won't be run if settings are at their default state, so if you install the mod, then run the car app, then load the module interface and change nothing - it still won't be set.
Next version will handle this more properly, I hope (currently writing it).

Torque paid. Maybe free is different, but from what I can tell, HTC Car doesn't blacklist any apps from being added to one of the screens.
I agree, there doesn't seem to be a limit on which apps you can add and which you can't.
Your issue must be related to the app itself. Since I'm unfamiliar with Torque, I really can't tell.
Are there any other apps, as far as you can tell, that you can't add?

If I do that when I run the HTC car app the home button will open recent apps if double tapped but otherwise it just returns to car mode when home is pressed. If I disable it pressing home takes me to the desktop and double tapping it takes me to recent apps. I am running NuSenseSIX based off the m8-base fwiw. If you have any tweaks you would like tested let me know, I can provide logcats and such.
Dialer not working
Thank you for this awesome mod. I'm not sure if it's the ROM I'm running, but I can't seem to launch the dialer using this module. All other buttons work normally, as well as the added functions of this module.
I'm running the Venom ROM on the M8.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Good catch. Just shows how much I actually use my 'phone' for calls...had not even tried it yet :laugh:
I have the same issue on an M7, the 'Dialer' button in the car mode app doesn't do anything.
