Obligatory goodbye and thanks thread. - HTC Rezound

So, Verizon was kind enough to give me a One, and my Rezound is tired, so I'm officially going to retire it. It's been a fun two years, and I'm immensely thankful for all the hard work all the devs here put in to make the Rezound the phone it should have been. Even the drama days back at the beginning were fun in its own way. I wish everyone the best, and I'm sure I'll bump into some of you over in the One forum.

[Q] Rezound Endeavors.

I'm moderately new to the XDA world and I have a few questions that I decided to ask in my own thread, as to follow rules of courtesy: Does anyone know the expected release date of Joelz's latest ROM? I believe it is supposed to be Charmander? Secondly, does anyone know if developers will be able to replicate "Google Now" from Jelly Bean and incorporate it future ROMs (I imagine that it isn't beyond the capabilities of the Rezound)? Finally, will the Rezound be able to realize "Near-Beam" technology to transfer data?
First rule of XDA don't ask for ETA's on ROMs, they get released when they get released and its considered bad etiquette to ask.
Devs are already working on Google Now and again refer to the first rule as to if and when it will be ready.
Near beam needs an NFC chip which the Rezound does not have so no you will not see it here any time soon.
Joelz is on hiatus, so no eta in the near future. Believe me, you will hear about it if/when he returns to developing. I have no answers for your other 2 questions. Enjoy XDA.

Didn't the xda community donate that rezound to him? I think he should donate that rezound to another dev instead of selling it for profit.

Something got reported in this thread
And as far as I know yea, you may be right but who's going to stop him? I'm extremely disappointed that he dumped us for the piece of crap phone and I hope he regrets it down the line. Like everyone else who is following him

Nothing. Just makes me lose more respect if that is possible. All that time he kept telling us to donate rezounds to team bamf and then he goes around and instead of doing so himself, sells the rezound to cushion his own pocket.

I used to be such a crackflasher back in the inc days when development was booming
But now I couldn't care less, I tried the gnex to see if that would bring it back but there's no excitement in that forum. this phone has so much potential, but no one wants to step up to the plate and bring out the beast in this phone
I pretty much just gave up on it.

I remember bored asking people to donate to Joel to help him get a rezound. I remember specifically because i refused to at the time because I didn't know who he was.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Who cares if he sells it? He worked hard on alot of roms while he had it. There are many great roms that hes released, that im sure alot of you have used. He deserves the money. Let him do what he wants. I don't blame him and everyone else for leaving, I would too if I could afford a full price phone. Just needed to get that out.

I would hardly call the nexus a piece of crap phone I honestly wish I never sold it and kept it. And on the second topic I believe he met his quota and when you donate something that doesn't mean you or anybody else has any say in what is done with it. It's a donation which is from the kindness of the hearts of the users. Yes it is expected that they do some work (which he did) but that doesn't mean they have to do anything with it. It's not a loan it's a donation.

You miss my point entirely.
Look at it this way. I ask you to donate to charity XYZ. I keep asking you to donate to them, talk about how awesome they are, etc. You donate and make cut backs toake the donations. The kicker is when it comes time for me to donate what they need, I dont. I use that money for myself and what I want and forget the charity. That'd make you happy right? I talk you into doing it but I won't even think twice about it.
Someone spends the telling us to donate to a certain dev team, but when it comes time for him too, he doesn't.
Two sided.
Had he never asked like crazy for this to happen, honestly wouldn't have cared...

Farewell fellow 4g lte users. 2nd phone broke...going GS3

Its been nice knowing you guys. I was very excited for this phone. I was one of the many who cursed apple for delaying my pre-order and checking these forums constantly for any rumor of the awaited release. I had to return my first one after a week due to a few issues but have been very happy with my evo since. Aside from some LTE connection issues, the power button on my phone decided to crap out. Thankfully since i am running mean rom, the camera button does wake the phone so i am able to use it for the time being. Because of the 4g lte issues and the fact that i would like to take out my battery at will, i am going to request that I get a GS3 as a replacement. Its been nice knowing you all.
good bye and have fun.

you contributed sooo much

When i seen my 64 year old mother with the GS3 i just had to rule it out as ever being an option.

Coming from a Nexus 4

So coming from a nexus 4.... Love the nexus but work is buying me a phone so I figured I wouldn't complain. anyway. Anyone one what the development is going to be like on this phone if we can't achieve S-Off? I was debating between the note and this. Just hoping I didn't make the wrong decision in mod ability.. Since this phone had the nicer specs..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The Note 2 is more hacker-friendly, it is available on more carriers and will see more dev support.
To be blatantly honest, you made the wrong choice!
I think about it every morning I pick up my DNA, but I knew that's how it would be when I paid for it...

Dev support should be coming soon. I mean the DNA has only been out for a month or so and the Note 2 has been out for over two months. The dev support might be huge for the note 2 but how many people will actually buy the phone? that big huge phablet i laugh at my dad with it every time i see him on the phone. The phone is not attractive to everyone and will sure not be as big of a hit as the SIII.
Stick with the DNA and enjoy the phone for what it is. I am sure that we will get some dev support sooner or later.
Good phones always do!

If you have not had a chance, get your hands on a note then mess around with the DNA.
That made up my mind in 1 min with both. I wanted the note 2 sooo badly but the DNA won me over with the awesome screen and the quality of materials. The note2 felt like a cheap toy with a grainy screen. That being said, I would get a note two if I could get one for less than 300$. What I feel it is worth it for me.
Will S-OFF be coming via a kernel though or is that something we will most likely not be able to do. Would really love some AOSP on this phone. nice phone overall... just prefer more of a stock experience.

You don't get s off from a kernel, you run an exploit, similar to rooting.

There is a method already. They have achieved soff but it hasnt been released. Still buggy and dangerous. I was told first or sec week of january there will be a full root soff method that htc unlock will not be affected. Ive owned 3 evos all have soff. Ive never even been to the site were you unlock the bootloader. Give it time its being done as we speak. Xmas slows it down.

OTA'd 2.04 unlock bootloader

First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?
Thanks again.

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

I'm not rooted, I was then bricked doing something, hard bricked, got a phone sent to me with the rootable FW BUT I did the update before I unlocked. MY bad. I would love it if the DEVs figure this out and make it so people like me and who ever else can root again. If not I read some where I can send it in to get JTAGGED or I could always look for a non updated DNA or just wait and buy the HTC ONE, but I really love the DNA, I would love it alittle more if I could do a few more things that a rooted DNA lets me do.

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.

Unbloating is easy. Root and uninstall the AT&T apps. Or freeze them.
As far as cooks- how about you start learning how to do it? I've taken my time as a short-order Android cook and let me tell you, nothing becomes more annoying than posts like this without an offer to help. You got an awesome, albeit proprietary, device. Proprietary devices ALWAYS see less development. :good:

what is it you wan't to get out of this question in dev section?
it seems like no "rom maker" got this device, even if it's a smart one
Just wondering: since this device sells with at&t, is the bootloader locked in the pad phone x? Thanks.
samsung fanboy come here and cry lolzzz
While I have zero chef skills, with these going for $200 unlocked on ebay, maybe we could donate $20 a pop to get one for a potential chef. I'd even offer up some ProClip car mounts at my cost to help the cause. I won't complain since I know how time consuming it is and people already have their personal devices and usually one or two more they support. For $200 though, this seems like great piece of kit to have as a backup/toy to play with, especially with a real keyboard dock.
Just bought mine yesterday and hope to bring some development to this device.
