hey all,
Its actually a sad day for me. My rezound finally totally kicked the bucket and i no long have a deving device. So after some thought, i desided that I will no longer be doing deveolopment for the Rezound. Its been a fun ride while it lasted, but with family, work, and other things going on, my time has been spread very thin. I hope you all continue to enjoy the rezzy and i hope ill run into some of the rezound community on another part of the forums.
If anyone is wondering, I went with the LG G2 and if i ever find some time again to dev, it will be for that device
Thanks everyone for your support, and contributions that made developing the rezound so much fun. Also thanks to all the other dev that help me get started with ROM development
It's sad to see you go. I loved your ROMs very much and I hope you provide your awesome skills to the G2 community. You did very well here and you deserve to rest; Many thanks for everything!

Thanks for all your work on the Rezound... Welcome to the G2 community, it is a fantastic device, I know you'll love it.
Thanks, I love the phone already, so adding a "family" to it will just make it that much better lol

After 2 years I retired my Rezound and purchased a Galaxy S4. I was also able to keep my unlimited data which the possible loss of made me keep the Rezound longer than I wanted to. I started to wait for the Galaxy S5 but I got such a good deal on the S4, which was free at BB after 50.00 gift card I took advantage. The few upgrades in the S5 were not worth spending a couple hundred dollars more.

The time has come for me as well. My dad wanted to preorder the S5 and Verizon was offering a second phone for free. I was going to try to wait for the G3 but went with the One (M8) now because... free.
My fiance doesn't have a smartphone so she'll be moving to my Rezound. Maybe I'll take her upgrade once the LG comes out.
Same. Just got a nexus 4. It's been real.

Sad goodbye.
I to will be leaving the trusty Rezound behind tomorrow. I had many roms I liked but the two that stand out the most was Neos Tachyon and Liquidsmooth 2.37. I want to thank everyone for thier hard work, you helped me take steps into the world of Custom Roms. Ive since then Moded a Razor Maxx, a Galaxy S3 and my Transformer TF700T. My wife and I get to trade in for the new Galaxy S5 tomorrow. So with a sad heart I say goodbye and good luck my friends.
May the force be with you. Always.

How do you like the G2? I love the front with the beautiful screen and tiny bezels...just wasn't sure how I felt about the buttons on the back...

Every phone should have buttons on the back... Why manufacturers didn't implement this before is beyond me, once you have it a while you will see how natural it feels to have them there. Plus with knock on/off you only use volume buttons, I rarely ever even touch the power button.

Hey, its takes a little getting use to, but overall i love it. I notice for the most part i dont use the buttons on the back. It has the knock on and knock off feature which is implemented really nice. so 95% if the time i use that. The only time i really use the buttons, is when i need to adjust the volumes. Other then that, the phone has been rock solid, fast, great battery life. My only complaint is the speakers are not the best and not super loud, the rezzy smokes it any day, but overall, the best phone ive had in a long time, including the rezzy.

You know, i was real disappointed when the finally released the specs on the s5. Made some small improvement, but not enough to justify the wait or the extra money. Personally I tell people to go with the s4 unless the s5 has a feature that the must have.
Sold my last Rezound yesterday... was a mixed bag of feelings, I loved working with it, everything I learned over the years, and the community, yet I really love my new devices.

What device did you get again? Not sure what I'll be doing. We may jump ship. I can't afford VZW anymore. We have 4 lines on the old 1400 minute plan each of us with $30 data and we're up to nearly $300/month. If we switch to Share Everything, it would be even more. But if we don't, trying to decide between the G2 and the One Max. Why are we such slaves to technology?

My personal phone is a Nexus 4 on Aio Wireless, works great and I save a ton of money every month. If I had to get a phone today it would be the Moto G, my son has one and the battery life is ridiculous, 7 hours screen on time for web browsing and basic use and it out performs the Rezound in all aspects except camera.

Looks like the Moto G is 3G only. I'm considering the Nexus 5 if we go to T-Mobile. Also considering AIO as well. If we can't finance our phones with T-Mobile, then there no reason not to go with an MVNO, right?

Hey everyone,
Just a short summary on me first and what gadgets i've owned before..
Every single iPhone, the 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, Every single iPad, 1,2,3,
The HTC TItan Windows Phone, also I have the new Lumia 900.
The original first Motoroal Droid, and the Nexus one, the LG G2x, the Samsung galaxy S2, the Motorola RAZR MAXX.
As you can see I love gadgets, I don't have an ounce of fanboy'ism in my blood period.
Android in itself actually upset me, i just got tired of all the BS...that's why I hopped around phones a lot.. i got tired of resetting them.. battery pulling..etc etc...the Sluggishness of the UI.. etc.. The SGS2 was really IMO the best Android phone out of all of them that i've ever used.. i loved it.
Now we are here to the Galaxy note... WOW..JUST WOW.. i'm blown away by this thing.. maybe it's the screen size? or the gorgeous looking screen in general?
The build quality is NOT CHEAP.. for those of you reading this.. i was worried about that looking at videos b/c it LOOKS like cheap plastic.. trust me it's not at all.. coming from the RAZR Mazz which is supposed to have a solid back? that thing was garbage compared to this build quality.. I even love the feel of the clicking on the Power Sleep button.
Software-, I used it for 2 hours out of box, and was pretty turned off.. i was thinking to myself.. oh god here we go.. So i RUSHED to the XDA forums looking for roms.. i asked around nobody really answered or helped me so i figured it out on my own.
I ended up choosing the Team perfection Objection (RC3)..
i'm BLOWN AWAY... it's so smooth and fast... EVERYTHING WORKS.. i love it..
I can honestly say this is definitely going to hold me over until the iPhone 6 gen comes out. And it might take a miracle to pull me away because i have a feeling i'm going to fall in love with the huge screen size..
Camera-, it takes GREAT pictures.. i'm sure you guys already know that.. but i just had to confirm for those still thinking about buying.. coming from an iPhone 4S i don't feel bad about this purchase at all..
All in all.. my only frustration is that i don't have an LTE signal yet where i live... it's frustrating b/c it's literally 10 miles down the road! I could literally travel down the road and it picks up... it's also not where I work... =-( I hope ATT gets it's act together.

Imagine how I feel, I'm coming from my old trusty HD2 running Android... Been holding out for the longest and yes I'm happy I did. When I first purchased the HD2 I was amazed at the size.... Now with the Note, I think I purposely walk around with it in my hand so that everyone could see it. I kind of look forward to hearing comment like "Damn thats a big ass phone! What is it a tablet?". I think thats what get me through the day.... Can't wait till the devs get the official ICS for i717!!!
I really need to root this thing. Had it about a week, switching from Sprint, so we are trying it and ATT out for a bit to see if we want to leave sprint. And I have to say as the phone stands out of the box it's good. But other then the screen it didn't blow me away. But I have a feeling once I start flashing roms its gonna be great.
Not sure i could even entertain the idea of going back to a 4 inch screen iPhone 5 = FAIL

Same here... I was using a Samsung Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket and that's no small device. My wife has the same phone. When I hold it in my hand it feels tiny. At this point, the iPhone is a joke. A fragile device with little ability to customize and a tiny screen. No thanks. I know several people who left Apple because the iPhone is archaic and they don't regret it.
I am seriously considering getting the OG for my next phone. Only one thing worries me, and that is the development community. I have been burned before (HTC Vivid) by buying what looks like a great phone, only to get no support from the dev community. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Do you think the devs are going to come, or is the draw of the N4 too great?

Well, obviously the dev community is here to the extent that Team CodeFire has successfully unlocked the bootloader. There is also a modified stock ROM available (which I am happily using). We should also be expecting AOSP 4.2 pretty soon (heard rumors of possibly this Friday). While there aren't many ROM options at the moment, the dev community is definitely present and I believe it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more support.
I am seriously hoping that the N4 base is able to be easily ported over as mentioned. This would make this phone a Nexus 4 but with LTE and SD!!
Honestly though, I feel LG really has a nice UI on top compared to Sense and TouchWiz.
I am definitely watching with great interest. Would love to upgrade to the OG, even though my wife insists nothing is wrong with my Vivid. I have had it over a year. Isn't that reason enough to upgrade...

Take this with a grain of salt: as in I hold no liability for this point of view.
The Captivate had identical hardware to the Nexus S and it *STILL* has a strong dev community. There is more that goes into that than just devs but, the similar hardware helps loads.
The phone despite have a very low number of devs still has an unlocked bootloader and I feel safe in saying the devs who are here are fairly high quality.
Even if we never attract a large number of devs/users the reality is we are in a beautiful spot compared to a lot of other devices right now.
It's also important to keep in mind our numbers can still grow big time. The more users we get, the more interested devs we get, the more we all benefit.
And being honest.. if you go play with the phone in store.. you probably will walk out with it... It's really, really, nice. I mean the other phones in store didn't hold a candle to it at bestbuy or at&t.

I did want to NOT like this phone - mainly because it's an LG. But it's stupidly fast and smooth. If we see AOSP 4.2 or CM 10.1 on this beast it will be unstoppable! :cyclops:
I was hell bent on getting the Note 2 for weeks; the day I went to get one, I walked out with the OG and I have no regrets. LGs UI is a welcome change and will tide me over until the custom roms show up.
You totally should get the phone as is. Even with no further dev support. You have root, unlocked bootloader, and the stock rom debloated with tether functionality restored.
There is nothing you can't do with the stock rom. And when Jellybean comes out from LG, it will be debloated again. So even if you don't want the nexus rom or cyanogenmod (you'd be crazy not too), it's the best phone out right now. Even better than the Nexus 4.

I was seriously wanting the Note II as well because the huge screen but this UI I feels MUCH better then TouchWiz and hardware wise it is an absolute beast. Not to say the Note II isn't fast but nothing is touching this device right now. This phone is screaming fast just imagine when it gets 4.1 or 4.2!
I just couldn't go for the Nexus 4 since it seriously lacks storage space. 8 or 16GB with no SD??? C'MON! Hell, I just installed The Bard's Tale and selected the HD pack and it took up 3.5GB on it's own. Missing LTE even further drives the nail down.
Unfortunately, most people outside of hardware geeks don't know how amazing this beast of a phone is. Then half the one who are hardware gurus are scared because its an LG. I convinced the guy next to me at work to pick up the Sprint version. He absolutely loves it too.
I would use the upgrade that I have on Att.. but the Dev community is very important to have... Only time will tell.. watching with great interest.

I was microscopically close to pulling the trigger on the SG3 when I decided last minute to get the OG. Never regretted it for a second and I'm still bone stock.
Looking to get this as well It's down to the N4 or this. Really want LTE. Badly. But don't want to get screwed over for dev community, but I highly doubt that will happen. AOSP ROMs are on their way, undoubtedly.
from what i was told with small modifications n4 roms will run just fine on the lgog also. so that opens up way more possibilities if that is true
This is definitely one of the best devices currently since it runs buttery smooth even on ICS. 4.1/2 or CM will make this device unbelievable.
Talked my brother into getting one. He ordered his optimus g today and it was back ordered (The s3 disappeared from amazon for att days ago, probably why.) so im gonna go out on a limb and assume we will get some more people working in here in the near future.

Agreed. It's almost like they just took AOSP & tweaked it juuuuuust a little bit. I actually like it.

Hey guys, so yesterday I made the switch to Sprint (it's waaay cheaper than VZW here..) and in return I got rid of my Rezound in exchange for the beautiful HTC One. I'm gonna miss all the talented developers here but I'm gonna miss Snuzzo's kernel and how helpful he is the most . It sucked selling my Rezound after having it for over a year and a half. I came from an iPhone to the Rezound, so everyone here made my first Android experience a great one. The reasoning behind it is because my Rezound's digitizer plug-in was messed up after replacing my screen twice, my front housing was peeling off from opening it, the vibrating motor was broke and the battery life was..well, we know our Rezounds and their batteries lol. I never post but I feel like I'm friends with everyone here just because this community is so nice and helpful. I'm gonna miss you all .
PS the One is amazing. I'm not as wowed as I was with my Rezound because I'm already familiar with Sense and Android, but it feels great in my hands and looks amazing.
I just bought a pair of Nexus 4s for the wife and I and switched to T-Mobile. This is definitely an awesome little dev community. Many thanks to all!
Sent from my Nexus 4
First; thank you for the kind words BOTH OF YOU. Good to see I helped you. Second; Who says I won't be doing anything on the Htc One?
I will definitely miss this community too! 3 days before I leave for basic training, my battery goes south and the earliest I can get a new battery is sometime on Tuesday...when I'll already be on a plane to Ft. Jackson. Bought a GS3 on CL, and I must say, the battery life is so phenomenal compared to the Rezound. 12+ hours compared to my average 4-6.
Will definitely miss the devs! I've been here since launch day in November 2011. My oh my how far development has come!!
And now Jellybean is out! I gotta stop monitoring this board cause now I'm hurting lol

Just picked up my 3rd Rezound... a minty used one with a ton of accessories and extra batteries, for $155. Nothing about this phone makes it anywhere near obsolete, but you guys just keep chasing after the latest, greatest shiny new device, and keep spending $$$. The smarter ones will be around to pick up your dirt cheap discarded leftovers. I'm still on my very first Rezound (purchased on Black Friday 2011), I just gave a used "spare" to my wife after her old dumb phone died, and now I have another backup/experimenting phone for cheap.
THANK YOU!

Ahhh... I see. Common sense is the new Jealousy. :silly:
I could pay cash for a new One every month, and never miss the money. I don't live in my mom's basement, either. Fact remains, the Rezound is still a great device, and other than the lemming-like desire to have the "latest and greatest" (for no other reason than the dread of feeling left out of the stampede), there's no real reason to switch from it.
BTW... how much better was that Nexus than your Rezound? (my wife has one for a company-issued phone, and it SUCKS compared to her Rezound)
I am thinking of getting an S4 to replace my Rezound and use the Rezound to replace my D1. That way I can still have the best of both worlds.

I liked my Nexus way better vs my Rezound. Battery life was better, call quality was great, no creaky back and no washed out colors like the LCD on the Rezound. I do admit that the display on the Rezound is more crisp. That and all AOSP roms atm on the Nexus are way smoother for now. The only reason I dropped the Nexus is cause the screens would keep crapping out on me. Once developement starts firing up for the S4 bye bye S3! Plus if you have the financial standing to buy a new device and have enough left over in your bank for rainy days why care? Spend your money on things you enjoy! Spoil your wife and kids! When you croak and have a nice life insurance policy they'll be set for some time.

Not jealousy, sounds more like loyal and being a money saver. I do agree, why waste your cash .....

Some of us have more disposable income vs others and that's just an unfair fact of life .
Again, even though I myself CAN AFFORD to get a new device. I've not had a reason to. I guess assets and a word call saving doesnt apply when you said "disposable". Just save the "disposable" income. May need it one day.
What I am saying is go for it, but don't fill my mouth with words. Again, jealous, heck no.

Bolded and underlined. Which seems you are implying we are of lesser intelligence if we decide to spend full retail on new devices?

When we're talking about a devices that are hobbled by the inability to replace batteries when they go dead (planned obsolescence), or upgrade memory (thus forcing users into relying on cloud storage and higher data charges), then yes... it is a lesser intelligence issue. You're playing into the provider's hands, rather than calling your own shots. (OOOoooo.... look!! SHINY!!!)

I was never implying you were jealous. To each their own when it comes to what they do with their $$$. I just think freedoom is a **** when he is stating someone is of lesser intelligence for hopping on a newer device of their choice. I am directing the comment purely at him.

This is why I choose which shiny new device suits my needs before I buy it and drool. Plus I have unlimited data so idgaf about using cloud solutions . Some people don't care about swapping out batteries.. As most of them will already have a newer device before the battery goes bad. Lol you really think you're calling your own shots when you're contracted with a carrier? I rest my case.

No contract with unlimited data oh baby!
but as of thursday I now am an owner of the G2 (vzw) and would like to thank the developers here and any contributors for making the rezound one of the best experiences of owning a phone so far! Thank you!
On a side note anyone thinking about switching to the G2 should give it a try. I love how fast this thing is and the rom is pretty well customizable and still shocks me a little when i find more and more little options daily. Ive had no problems so far and gaining root was simple as could be. Give it a shot as long as its not physically to big for your liking.

how is the radio?
Seems really good so far just as good as my rezzy but i have been in vegas all weekend the true test will be when i get back home to my small town in the middle of nowhere this afternoon
I am now really really impressed! The radios on the G2 out did/do the ones on my rezound. I was able to send/receive texts and browse the web when I normally couldnt on the rezound during my trip home. Very pleased :good:

thanks for sharing G2 is a good phone!
how is the user interface in terms of smoothness? Is the web browser scrolling and other scrolling as smooth as the iphone?
I think it's super smooth it wipes the floor with my modded rezound, but as far as iPhone....... um I wouldn't know. I've never used one longer then a few mins. So I'm the wrong person to ask about that.

I also retired my Rezound last week for a G2. What a difference! Development is moving along quickly for the G2 so I'm hoping for some great roms soon.
Would you say the G2 is worth losing unlimited data over?
I didn't chance it, I bought outright. But I do have nothing but praise for this phone and could only hope for some of your expertise to add to this phone!

ill have my rezound as a dev phone till it crumples up and dies....but i plan on getting the One very shortly
I might be jumping ship to the One as well...I've been trying to talk myself into it for a few months but it seems like the universe is pushing for me to get it. I just got an invite to elevate yesterday.. later that night I was just switching to a different extended battery (I like to cycle through different ones to keep them happy) and poof reboot every 3 min. It happened all day today too. I finally got it to stop after uninstalling some recent apps and doing my magical "Rezound please don't reboot" dance/prayer/ritual.
I love my Rezound when it's working properly (I think I'm on my 7th), but I'm starting to see it as a warm heavy brick in my pants.
Sorry, I had some venting to do that no one I know in real life would understand. No tech savvy friends, I hear the occasional "Why don't you have an iPhone?" from them.

I also want to thank all of the devs. Great job keeping it up to date. I switched to the Note 3 recently and it's badass. I was stuck between the One, G2 and the Note 3 but I definitely made the right choice. The One looks awesome but I love how big and powerful the Note 3 is. All my previous phones have been HTC but I think Samsung definitely won me over. It's been a pleasure my friends. Hope to see you guys around again. Snuzzo, Fly, Neo..you guys are awesome!
I would like to send my appreciation as well... I am on the verge of getting the HTC One. My phone has been freezing up recently and its not a software related crash, so I'm afraid I went in the Verizon store and was awe struck at the One... although I don't like the lack of a changeable battery or SD card, but damn its a nice phone. I was sold and am very close to buying one.
This would be the first time I haven't changed phones out of anger at my old phone. The Rezound really has impressive specs and impressive devs who build for it...this is the reason I have extended my usage on the Rezound for nearly a year now. Its too bad the Rezound wasn't better known. Its still generally fast and still has a great screen, I would dare say the best of its time.
I hope to see some Rezound devs on the One in the future. I know more than one has mentioned the plan to move on to the One.
It will be a somber bitter sweet day for me as i love my Rezound but I'm needing to move on if I keep having this issue.
I would also like to say a big thank you to our devs here. It's been a generally awesome device to own because of them. Specifically Neo for the numerous amazing ROMs he's given us, Snuzzo and IHateWebOS for their awesome kernels, Flyhalf for maintaining TWRP and, of course, Chad for being our AOSP savior! shrike1978 also gets a big thanks for the writeup on how to build CM. Without that I guarantee I never would have compiled a ROM myself.
The guys working hard in the AOSP Dev thread to get us a stable 4.4 ROM also get a shout out.
The unlimited.io guys also get a MASSIVE thanks for their S-OFF tool Juopunutbear. The process was just badass lol. Never would've thought when I got the phone and saw those pins that they would be so important down the road. I think that's kind of what made owning this device awesome as well; the fact that you had to put in some effort to get S-OFF made it feel more like an accomplishment, like you've earned it. With the Nexus 5 (the device I'll be switching to when it finally decides to ship/arrive) it'll just be as simple as "fastboot oem unlock" and it's fully unlocked. There's no sense of achievement or anything doing that! Lol I'm definitely not saying I wish it was harder or anything, just that it won't be the same.
I would also like to thank the community for always supporting and being polite to our developers, as well as always being willing to help one another. I think the fact that we have one thread with over 500 posts in it with people just helping each other speaks for how awesome you guys are.
It's been a long road for us Rezound owners, and it makes me a bit sad to think about moving on to a different device, with a different community. I can only hope that the Nexus 5 community will be half as good as this one.
Hope to see you guys over there with me.

While I did just jump to an LG G2, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I've invested way too much time and effort on this phone to walk away from it. Not to mention the Mrs. has a rezound and the G2 is an officially supported device, so there's really no challenge to it.
The good news is now I have a dev phone, so I don't have to worry about getting it back to a working state when I'm working on it.
Well I did it. I got the One. I had to pay full retail price for it otherwise I cant keep my unlimited data... and considering that I've used 11Gb so far, that was not an option.
I am impressed with it as I was impressed with the Rezound when I got it.
This community has been amazing. This was the first phone I ever flashed anything too. Considering now the Rezound is a spare/play phone, maybe I will try some developing for it. I know I wont be able to match the great devs here, but I figured I could try my hand at it. Especially now this is not my main phone I need to rely on.
So once again a big thanks for the additional life that some great people have given to the Rezound. A truly great place to be. Now I just need to try to get my Paypal back so I can show some appreciation monetarily to some people.
