HTZ Rezound ICS Leaked... Has Same SoC As Us (MSM8660)

Given that the HTC Rezound uses the exact System on Chip (the MSM8660), hopefully this means the majority of drivers required for our build are now out in the wild.
More: HTC Rezound ICS Leaked

you should repost it in the skyrocket forum since no one is working on ICS here. T989 is waiting for Samsung

Keep in mind that even though they have leaked ics. HTC , Samsung and others use vastly different drivers from each other. Unless its from the galaxy s2 lte ,skyrocket or our phone it really wont help.

never heard of htz before

HTZ? Is that the knock off version?

It's probably a show where the paparrazi harass high ups from cell phone manufacturers.

The processor being the same enough. The GPU and other sensory drivers are required as well

The gpu and graphics driver was released in the previous threads

GPU drives were released already..

You didn't read carefully enough. "other sensory drivers"... What about those?
Do you not need call audio?
Wifi?
Data?
Accelerometer?
Camera?
Do you get my point now or is the ICS wanting salvation in your mouth blocking the thinking? There is more to these phones than just a processor running a big screen.

Gotta be honest, these stupid ICS question threads need to stop being made. Believe me when the source we need drops, it will be on the front page.

Why my phone is slow while instlling/updating apps?

Is this normal?
Phone during app installs is slower than turtle.
I think I have noticed that in a few ROMs. I mostly use franco kernel if it does matter.
Thanks!

huh...if you're installing/updating a lot of apps at the same time, or even one big app, of course the device is going to "get slower", it's using CPU to the max to install faster.
Code:
adb shell top
allows you to see process cpu usage in rt.

It's normal - when "installing..." phase is visible in Play Store, moving in UI stutters indeed. You notice this mainly with bigger apps.

And yes I am good enough at IT and stuff to understand about background process priorities. And seems that app installing is a high priority process which is not right in my understanding.

I have no idea why updating an app should use so much of the phones resources as to slow it down. I don't recall if this used to happen to me while on stock jb but on cna with franco kernel its very noticeable. I believe this is a problem that should be solved.

Lags

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?

I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.

I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

I've noticed the same lag after few days. It's really frustrating to see your phone very fast and then kind of choppy....

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.

Sane here!!! Thought it was just me... lol. I was running black bean baked! I love it but became super laggy! Almost threw it across my room lol. But just clashed slim bean and hope its bad ROM coding :-/.

I understand that custom roms do have great features but let me tell you something, after I switched from the S3 I decided not to flash any rom, I just used the nexus toolkit to root it and of course install franco kernel, since then the experience has been amazing, I'm just very careful with the apps I install, cheers!
Sent from my Nexus Prime JB 4.1.2

I've experienced the same on about every JB setup I've tried. A reboot tends to purge assets and get me truckin' again for several days though.

I recommend keeping it stock you people, stock almost never lags unless u use the google+ app

Let me just chime in with the same advice as the previous poster: Try the stock rom. 99% of your problems will magically disappear.

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.

LOL, unfortunately I need franco's kernel (or any other custom kernel) to do things that the stock doesn't allow, i. e modify the colors of the screen (I hate yellowish whites) use pgm2 aka slide to wake, use louder patch and modify specific cpu parameters.

Yeah, that the point. I want to change the screen color settings... Franco's kernel allows you to do that.
I am going to change to team EOS rom and check it for a few days. If I have problems with that one I am going back to stock rom.

I agree with that, it's not really lag, but the smoothness drops back to ISC level. Maybe 4.2 needs 2G RAM to perform?

Google rushes things. They also forgot about December, Play store launch was a fail, and put Chrome as the stock browser. I love Google, but they need to quit playing games with my heart (yup, I went there.).

How to get the butter back:
1) Download the last stable 4.1.2 rom of your choice
2) Do a factory reset with TWRP
3) Wipe the buggy 4.2.1 rom using TWRP
4) Flash 4.1.2 back in.
5) Enjoy butter while waiting for 4.2.2 or later builds which is probably coming in January due to the holidays.
Was that so hard?

Or just flash the official 4.2.1. I run stock, rooted and have no problems. I tried a few roms based of 4.2.1 and they were slow and laggy.

This reminds me of the "zero shutter lag" feature that was removed from the Gnex, or selling a 8GB device just to say it "starts at $299." It's just something fancy for them to advertise and get some hype/sales, then they remove it. This is standard procedure by now, right?

Butter is not gone, 4.2 is definitely smoother than ICS and on par with 4.1 and it seems to have much less stutter than 4.1 did
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I can confirm that 4.2.1 stock seems really fast to me.
I have to say that I'm a new GNex user, coming from a Nexus S with 4.1.2. I was using rasbeanjelly with an optimised kernel: there were obviously some lags, time to time.

Noone can tell you exactly what, but the general trend is, that the OTA caused various problems for some, so when some people don't have problems on the same SW, the problem can only be located to something stored on the data partition because of the update process compared to a full wipe.
So the answer is simple, you do a full wipe and install the factory image of 4.2(.1) directly. If this doesn't solve it, it isn't a software problem...
And yes my phone is no less fluid than it was on 4.1, Í, however, updated as descriped with a clean install.

1. No that is a general misconception, what was really the case, was a regular code error(zero-index error), making the last row in the array holding the months being skipped. You can't blame them for not spotting this small error in the very limited testing they can do in house. I for one have never used that particular feature and didn't know you could add birthdays until this was discovered. What really matters is that it was fixed within weeks.
2. How? Everything seems to be branded as play store quite fine, whether you like the name or not shouldn't matter
3. why wouldn't they promote the chrome brand and make it easier for users to sync everything between their desktop and phone?

In a direct comparison,i still think 4.1.2 is a bit more fluid overall (app drawer for example,let alone recent apps list). That together with all the other stuff going on (screen switches on,blutooth, worse battery - for me at least) led me to go back and stay to 4.1.2. Not a single problem and constant ~4h on screen time. I can easily wait for a bugfix update next year.

Galaxy Nexus lags hard, ROM/KERNEL doesn't help.

Topic says it all. Stock/CM/Carbon(Linaro)/DU's/pacman/codefire, it doesn't matter which one is installed, my device lags like a *****. I switched to nova launcher from apex (to see if the launcher was causing it all,) and the homescreen scrolls better, but opening apps, doing anything within apps, switching apps and anything not related to the launcher still lags like crazy. I've tried LagFix, different kernels, nothing works. I close apps using the recent apps tab, doesn't help. My GS2 performs leaps and bounds better than this phone. Am I missing something. Is there anything I can do to make this phone not suck? I really want to like the phone. I have the Sprint version.

Running some side by side comparison's with my GS2 and GN using system panel, the GS2 always has over 200MB ram available, and the GN has 80 or less. I tried to make sure the same apps were opened (active) on each phone.

That sounds like a factory reset including format system is needed.

I was on 4.2.2. I never read any complaints about lag, or about it being a bad version...anywhere. Would have got off of it sooner if that were the case.

I upgraded to 4.3 with a factory reset. Not any lag issues at all. 4.3 actually seemed to have made android run more efficiently on my Gnex.

The whole lot of us whined about it on xda, g+, twitter etc

Funny thing is i full wiped and flashed back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2 and the phone was still lagging. Didn't think it was possible but 4.3 really fixed this phone for me. was battling the lag for over a year. Lagfix trim, filling all the free space and deleting all the files, tried everything that was recommended and nothing helped. Thank you google for finally releasing 4.3
the only lag from 4.3 comes from when I use google navigation. It gets bogged down pretty bad. I think that has to do with the undeniable fact that 1gb of ram is not going to cut it anymore with today's memory consumption from modern apps.

4.3 has brought a host of new problems for me. Lagging and force closes plus a lot of app problems. Enough so that I'm shopping for a new phone which sucks because I love the Gnex.

4.2.1
Android 4.2.1 was the last OTA that android released to my GNex. I put the Warped ROM on, and it was a lagfest, especially when I had all 10gb of my music on it. I had to wipe and reset to 4.2.1 before I could even put on another ROM without it freezing during startup.

Have you see if you have the lastest radio image flash in your bootloader?

It seems to me like one of the big bottlenecks in the Galaxy Nexus's performance is the abysmal I/O performance.
If anything whatsoever pings the storage, it seems to stall the device. I've had the phone lock up entirely requiring a battery pull by doing enough read/write, something I can't do to older and newer phones I own. Just the Galaxy Nexus.
TRIM in 4.3 helps mitigate it, but I think the fact is something is seriously awful in the Galaxy Nexus I/O stack, presumably on the hardware level, since this is the only device I own that has this issue.

My 4.3 install was acting up (data issues... :\) so I went back to stock 4.2.1 with golden kernel. Phone is running pretty smooth. Seems like the fastboot factory reset did the trick so far. Funny thing about it, I just now realized I flashed the 4.3 kernel. Phone is running really well, so uhh, whatever haha.
