Nils - Have you managed to make headway against the Google Services issue? I keep having to fight off the updates on Youtube and Foursquare because of the issue. Thanks.
 
Aaah ... but those who have actually read this ENTIRE thread know what is, and I have long suspected that you had, more or less, abandoned updates on this ROM in favor of that other project :)

When this Google play services problem popped up I switched to Nil's Business Sense 4.0. It is so much better than the 3.6 sense rom. Give it a try as it works perfectly.

I have been looking at a LOT of other ROMs (as that is what seemed to be only solution to this issue) and every JB ROM (AOKP, CM, even the one attempt at Sense) have at least one major bug (i.e., the attempt at sense has a non-working camera, others are plagued with reboots or pictures/music disappearing, etc), but the bug list on the 4.0 rom is FAR longer than the bug lists on these other very ambitious ROMs, so I have avoided it.

I suspect the answer is either in Nils' surprise project, or buying a HTC One at the end of the summer when it comes out.

Really? I have been running Nils' Sense 4.0 ROM v2.10/2.11 for many months without bugs. So not sure what you are talking about. The Jelly Bean ROMs have a few problems, and the Sense 4+ with Jelly Bean is very buggy. But Nils' Sense 4 ICS build is solid.

I like the easy questions :)

Nils' post 2 from that thread has the long list, which is what I looked at when deciding I would rather not have all those non-working

This list ?

NilsP said:
Data Arrows not working
HDMI not working properly
Taking pictures during a video turned off
Bluetooth transfer of phone book not working for everyone.
Battery and clock options not working in Tweaks with Tabbed Pulldown

Weather and Keyboard sound FCing (Fixed with 2.10)

OTA Updater will not automatically install with AmonRa. Need to manual install after boot to recovery.
Workaround - If it bothers you use CWM or TWRP recoveries

Fair enough if you use any of that.

I don't care about data arrows as I never look at them anyway
I don't even know how I would use HDMI out from this phone. My TV cable won't plug into it, and I don't know what MHL cables are...I've only heard of them
I don't take pictures while taking video ever.
I don't use Bluetooth to transfer phone books. I only use it to stream music which works great.
Tweaks are nice to haves, not must haves for me.
I use TWRP.

So I guess it more depends on your personal usage. If you use those things, I suppose that ROM won't work for you. Hopefully it will get worked out sometime, but I am not sure about that.

The Sense 4 verison ICS Business is one of the smoothest, feature rich ROMs you will find for the Rezound.. and yes... I've tried them all :) Some of the Jellybean roms are pretty good but still buggy.. random reboots etc

O Yes I have read every post at least once and have well over 100 posts just int his thread. and the same for Nil's 4.0 Rom

Just because we think we know what Nil's is working doesnt mean he is. He has surprised many of us over the last 3 years I have known him.

I was just trying to squeeze some juicy tidbits out of him ;)

Yeah, I have to agree. Nils lists things as a courtesy, but none of them affected my experience with the Rom... Butter.

Was wondering if there has been any progress on the Google play services issue. Found yet another app, weatherbug, that needs the update. Thanks.

So I tried this and it worked. Unfortunately some new apps from google won't work like hangouts but I don't use them. It did suggest to download the latest gapps and flash it, clearing your cache. I might try that way another time. Haven't tested it.

Reading the entire thread helps you understand the problem with services, for the most part. Hopefully this works for others.

    ▪ Clockworkmod, TWRP, or Amon RA Recovery
    ▪ HTC Unlocked Bootloader or S-OFF
    ▪ A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)

    Installation:

    ▪ Copy ROM to root of the SDCARD
    ▪ Boot into recovery
    ▪ Factory Reset, wipe cache, and dalvik
    ▪ Install it using "Choose Zip From SD" Card option
    ▪ Choose options in Aroma Installer
    S-ON Requires a booloader install of kernel (Automatic In Aroma Installer).
    S-OFF Will install kernel without booting to bootloader
    Boot - and enjoy

    CAUTION: Installing the RUU and many ROM's can wipe info on your internal and external SD Cards so back them up to be safe.

    IMPORTANT NOTES:

    ▪ Be patient on first boot since it may sit for a few minutes
    Skip everything in settings for first install except maybe location options
    Avoid Google and Titanium restores of system apps if possible.
    ▪ Remove the S-ON - PH98IMG.zip from your SD Card as soon as possible so you don't have bootloader problems later.

    DISCLAIMER: As usual, flash at your own risk and don't forget to backup your current installation before flashing.

    • ROM Screen
      • Install ROM for S-OFF completely including kernel

    • See Flyhalf's thread for working CWM and RomManager
    BIG NOTE: Do not update ROM Manager from market

    CWM and TWRP Recoveries
    Install from SD Card with file explorer or something like that

    Working Visual Voice Mail apk >> Here
    Flash the following in Recovery :
    NOTE: These will only work on this ROM unless you rename the folders in the zip files to match another Rezound ROM's layout

    Arrowless Keyboard >> Here
    Fixes
    Latest RUU Leak and Installation Instructions
    NOTE: This is only needed if you want the latest ICS Firmware (Good Idea)

    1. Download the 4.03.605.2 Global RUU: >> Here. MD5 = bcdd450501e390ce323a46b396cd0a49
    2. Rename the RUU to "PH98IMG.zip". Just remove everything in the name before the PH
    3. Copy the renamed ipdate to the root of your external SD Card.
    4. Re-lock the bootloader. Skip this if S-OFF
      • Open a DOS prompt and change directory to the folder where you have fastboot.exe
      • Reboot to bootloader
      • Type "fastboot oem lock" (No Quotes) while you are in bootloader (fastboot usb).
    5. Reboot to bootloader again via recovery menu.
    6. The bootloader should find the PH98IMG.zip file and scan it.
      • Scanning will take awhile so be patient
      • When it prompts you say yes
    7. The update will make the first pass.
      • This will take awhile so just watch the progress bar on the right
      • The phone will reboot and sit on the white HTC screen. This could be awhile so be patient and don't get nervous.
      • When it is done it will reboot back to bootloader to run the second pass of the install. Again, this will take some time so just watch the progress bar and OK's on the list.
      • When it is done it will say "press power to reboot" so do it.
      • Now it will boot into the leaked Update.
    8. Once booted skip everything in setup
    9. If you plan to run it stock then just get it set up to your liking
    10. Install Amon Ra recovery version 3.15 (My Preference)
      • If hboot will show tampered at the top but that is normal
    11. Flash my ROM using the instructions in post 1

    Folks

    I am working on updating this ROM to the latest but it will take a bit because a lot changed due to the global functionality.

    I am also working on including the OTA Updater from XDA

    Nevermind. See my Sense 4 post
