Root [CDMA] [ROM]}CDMA} [ROM] ZR3D 4.3GT! (7-3) [Team420SB] BEATS, FAST, NEWLY THEMED! (OTA-2.17.651.5)

I know how you feel. The thing is when releasing these things is trying to keep the general public happy. We had a lot of people.that couldn't get it to boot. Which led to multiple versions. Plus a lot of people that ask for a stock look when we don't have stock phones but everyone has there preferences. I don't go too heavy on the themeing myself I always mod mine totally different than the releases. Mainly with transparent apks w/o going crazy on color and icons so I can still see everything since I work outside. But hey if you like 1.6 best run it. If I were you I would take system/etc/init_post_boot.sh out of newest release and push to your system etc folder. It will help your battery a lot.

Edit; remember to fix permissions and reboot after u push. Perms rw-r-r

Oh, I know. I haven't used ZR3D since 1.6 though. It is easily my favorite Sense ROM though. I switched back to KM7. I just love my AOSP.

Well I can tell you this for sure, signal strength is definitely rom related also, I was at an office today and had no cell reception at all and no internet service, so while I was there waitng, I decided to create a Nandroid and then I restored my Meanrom version 3.6 and everything worked fine, signal and internet. To make sure I restore the Zr3d 2.2 Nandroid and then again no service there. Works fine outdoors as soon as I went back indoors all went dead again at that ofice

For some reason the WIFI just says ERROR under the drop down menu and in the actual settings. I have restarted it quite a few times, but it happens each time.
Any ideas? Thanks for the awesome rom though!

You unlocked through HTC dev, yes? If so, you flashed the kernel improperly. Read this:

http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all...ms-kernels-using-fastboot-updated-4-29-a.html

or install 4EXT and reflash the ROM:

4EXTRecovery

or get FlashGUI and reflash the kernel:

Yes, either XDA, or Mik Mik



Is there a specific site or dev who works on this Rom ZR3D-4.1-GT that I love so much, just curious as if there's a way to get a keyboard like ICS with arrows at the bottom, it be sweet to see this as an ICS ft Rom, these roms just fly... I keep finding myself coming back to it....

I am experiencing a weird issue. With this version and the last version of this ROM when I try to download from the direct link provided (Dev Host - Dev-Host - ZR3D_GT_4.3.zip - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service), it says the files are 470+ MBs but when it downloads it is only 23.9MB. Last time I had to find someone that had the full zip posted elsewhere. Any ideas what is happening?

Also, I wanted to point out that initially I was having issues with getting WiFi tether to allow my devices to actually connect to the internet. Thanks to nmurdic's youtube post at: "youtube dot com/watch?v=Gi1yhzuqHVo" ... I can now successfully fully use WiFi Tether.

Glad you like it, I had it for a while, but you know how it goes we all want the latest, so as soon as ICS came out everyone wanted that, LOL



I'm shocked more people have not tried this ROM. Everything works, very stable, great looking, and really fast. I am getting tu tu benchmarks at 5600!!!! I've flashed about 5 different ROMS since rooting and this blows them all out of the water.

I posted this a few days ago. I'm looking for a way to DL the whole zip file.
