Last type in the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img” (dont put the ” in the command). After that ure phone should be able to boot up.

Would anyone be kind enough to explain how to install this in terms of someone who has no idea what they’re doing

Alright, well I definitely messed up and forgot to do a nandroid backup before attempting to flash this ROM and now I don’t seem to have a boot image at all. Every time I turn the phone on I am stuck at the HTC screen. I cannot believe I forgot to nandroid back up. I’ve Googled and found some other people that have done the same thing, but I am not entirely sure how to go about fixing this problem… I can still get into the bootloader and everything, I just don’t think my phone has an image to boot up anymore. Is there anyway that I can locate these files on the interwebz to place on my SD so that I can flash them? I’m coming from a Motorola device, which was a little bit different than the Rezound. Please, I’m beggin you, get back to me.

Yes. And I regularly calibrate TVs in my free time. And I can tell you that contrast ratio is one of the most important and undervalued specifications. It literally affects the entire color pallet.

The Pioneer Elite Kuro 9G is from 2008, and it is still considered the best TV of all time today. It’s black levels are either at or very near zero. They’re too deep to accurately measure. It’s (static) contrast ratio is similar to an OLED’s. And when you put any other TV next to, both calibrated, you can see what a difference the contrast ratio makes. It gives the display “depth.” It is difficult to describe, but anyone who has done this know what I am talking about.

So by your statement, you have or have access to the proper equipment to accurately measure contrast ratios? Most impressive.

To be honest, if VZ didn’t have the Gnex, I would have the Rezound. I like it much better than the Razr.

When I say it feels better, I don’t mean in terms of thickness. The subtle curves just make it feel more contoured to your hand. The Razr kinda hurts my hand after a little bit. And I have no issues with the Rezound, but I find the Gnex feels better.

And I had a Droid 3 before the GNex. That camera absolutely sucked. It often took a good 20 seconds to focus, and the picture would still come out terrible. So the GNex’s camera, in comparison, is godly.

I am aware of every TV marketing trick. I am actually an ISF certified calibrator. I am not citing BS marketing specs, I am citing actual measurements of their static contrast ratios, which are an accurate measurement.

I don’t know about that….the Droid’s camera was pretty awful. The Nexus’ is definitely better. Graininess has improved after 4.0.4. It’s still not perfect though.

“The Rezound’s contrast ratio is pathetically low at around 900:1. The GNex’s contrast ratio is more like 60,000:1.”
You sir, are falling into the trap set up by marketing teams. Contrast ratio specs is about as reliable as comparing hertz ratings for HD tv’s. You are reading dynamic contrast ratios. Basically for a split second you could possibly get 60,000:1.

Quality and performance are in the eye of the beholder. That is why peer reviews are so valuable. Real world experience trumps manufacturer specs any day.

If you can get the XDA zip to install properly then it “should” work with all of you media audio. Unlike the original Beats in the Rezound the zip allows all all media apps to use the “enhancement”.

Lol cleanrom is good, but it’s basically a leak with a whole bunch of mods, This is something that our phones will never actually have which has to be hacked on

With the right headphones, all you need is a music player and DSPmanager. Just look for that apk on google and you will find it.

Seriously, not one comment about CleamROM ICS? It’s been around longer and I love it, oh and guess what, bluetooth works on it, so I don’t get why this is news.
