Rezound users: RIL has been cracked - welcome to AOSP

[lothar]

Dumb nexus fan kids in here, the nexus is not that good of a phone. Jelly bean or not radio issues makes it a instant fail

I thought I was up on all the phone lingo. What is RIL?

I'm just ready to go to a factory ICS image. Then once the devs have made a quality, 100% stable ROM based on the factory one, I'll go with a custom ROM most likely.

Just ignore the Nexus nut-swingers. The Rezound is a great phone, it was available months before the GNex, and the dev options are exploding with an unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, and now whatever RIL is.

<--Had Rezound since day 1. Wouldn't consider waiting for the GNex since my OG Droid was (A) old and (B) got a cracked screen a couple weeks before the Rezound launched. I'm glad I didn't wait either.

Not sure how one can be a Nexus fan kid without owning a Nexus.
Everyone on this forum knows I own an International Galaxy S II.

I'd say the Rezound fan kids and nut swingers here are worse based on their quoted statements above.

Okay? So you finally cracked the RIL? Great. Like I said, development for all these devices is a WIP. FOREVER. You have an SGS2-era phone which means it's over 1 year old. Meanwhile, people have moved on to quad core phones. By the time they fully resolve issues for your dual core phone, the next quad core Nexus is out enjoying the latest AOSP Android and potentially the then-current CM will be fully functional too.

Anyway, this is how I feel. My SGS2 just got a lot of stuff fixed in the last few months, and while that's great and all, the bigger picture is that it does suck we're always waiting to fix something that *should* be working. I respect the devs and all and I realize there are tons of limitations, but this is just reality, that we'll always be waiting for basic things to be fixed before our phones run custom ROMs fine.

And honestly, Software is more important than the hardware here. You can talk about your better camera or better whatever, but the fact is GNex users already enjoyed that for 8-9 months now. You have meanwhile been hampered until now. To me having to use a crappy gimped phone for months is not worth it. Even if things eventually get cracked, by the time they do, newer devices are out.

This. All of it.

Nobody mentioned you. Guilty dog barking much?

So who were both of you referring to then?

As soon as the devs get them working. Could be tomorrow could be a few weeks. These guys do this stuff in their free time, whenever they get it done. As I said, the RIL was the hardest part. Now it's just fixing up all the quirks. Jelly Bean is great but when you dont get very good signal I don't care if you already have KLP, doesn't do you anything.

I'll take my Rez and AOKP with its better hardware than a GNex with lousy signal and a mediocre battery.

Nexus user here. Gotta say, I have had ZERO signal issues, usually have full bars 4G in my area. Ran AOKP long time ago, now using CM10 based Jelly Bean. My camera works just fine & takes pictures,(I have a real camera for taking real pictures). I don't have to wait for anything to get fixed, everything works. My screen is gorgeous, honestly, I can't tell the difference between Rez & Nexus- HTC oneX is a beautiful screen, though. I get 11-14 hours on a standard battery using 4G with the stock JB kernel.

I am glad you like your phone & that you have the patience to wait for, IDK, 10 months to finally get ICS. Have fun with that. See you on JellyBean, when I am on Key lime pie, or what ever the next OS is.

Honestly I love this phone. I got a Sgs3, but ended up going back to the rez as the reception wasn't good enough in the Samsung. All the Samsungs I've tried ended up with lots of data drops and calls in my area. Plus not a.fan of the pentile screens. the galaxy is still a tremendous phone tho.



Looking forward to some more roms now. I've been on ics since Feb. In one Rom or another.
