Jellybean on Rezound!

[Bpowder33]

Been running JB now for a couple days. Neo's mean horsey face aokp jb rom. Thing is blazing fast with excellent battery life. Features galore! Blue tooth calling doesn't work but I don't use it anyways. Couple other little bugs that will be addressed on next update. Otherwise very stable as a daily driver.

I dont understand how this phone will not receive JB. Makes no sense and it has more then enough specs to get it.

Take a gander at HTC's quarterly earnings reports and then realize they don't have the resources to update phones more than a year old. Bad business decision, perhaps, but I think it's mostly just reality.

For the life of me I don't know why the OEM's don't embrace the hacker community and make it easy to root and flash. It's a virtually free way to offload support for older devices. Come up with an easy one- or two-click solution that any novice could update their phone when they choose. The quality would be even better, too, if they made things easier and more accessible for developers.

Well their quarterly reports actually yielded a gain. The loss they had from November was around 61% now its like 20% meaning they lost less money. In other words, they are gaining the momentum back and making some money but they are still in the hole; just not as deep.
With that being said, if that is the reason why they cant do updates or anything...all i can say is......damn. And I was liking the Rezound but its just a replacement phone. I will wait till for the new devices this year.. Hopefully HTC and Moto do Nexus models this year. That would be nice. Curious on this Google X from Google/Moto.

JB 4.2.1 ROM out. Pure cm10.1 kang. Blue tooth calling works. Camcorder works in landscape. Video streaming good but not perfect. Awesome ROM

I have excellent experiences with aosp, cm9, aokp, and liquid on my old Motorola DROID x.

With the rezound I have been very disappointed with almost everything xda had to offer. I won't go into details, just a complete lack of qa, where even the developer didn't test it.

However, jelly beans on the rezound is really good.

[ROM][Unofficial] CM10.1 for HTC Rezound [2-9-13] - xda-developers

Only two problems.

First, the automatic restore of apps and settings by Google would totally and permanently break the play store. So I reflashed and set everything up manually including app installation.

Second I can not get my custom boot animation to work with the sound file.

Neither of these are really important.

I installed it yesterday.

Cm10.1 android 4.2 works decently with only about two crashes per day. Not bad, but if you want htc quality stay with stock.

Well, it has been several weeks and I have decided that I like CM10.1 Jelly beans.

Crashes happen less than once a week, and I really like many of the customized features cyanogenmod has.

Awesome rom, so spoiled I couldn't even imagine going back to stock.

Wish I had the balls to try this

So tempted... Just hate having to re do all my apps and settings that's the only thing stopping me right now...

How's the battery usage on jb?
