This is not AOSP. Its senseless, please do research before you trick people into thinking it is.
You should do research before coming to us and trying it. AOSP is known as the senseless ROM for your kind information.. and What I will do by tricking you.. don’t post your idiotic comments as I don’t like these things..
I’ve read in a couple of places that CWM recovery doesn’t work (well) with the Rezound, and each suggests using Amon Ra recovery.
I’m not sure why it would make a difference, but do you know if you need CWM for this ROM?
I tried flashing it but I can’t get a data connection. Is this a known issue? I’ve flashed the kernel and rom both successfully.
These issues will be fixed soon, stay tuned for updates.
The Rezound does not have an AOSP build yet due to RIL problems, this rom is purely a Senseless rom build to resemble AOSP as close as possible with theming
