[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shirokishi:
odd i think i got mine in april .... of 2011 lol.

Just seems odd considering my S2X can see it just fine meanwhile the 2 month difference galaxy note cannot.

not writing off that solution at all. They barely do network refreshes and i think that's part of what helped.

Dec03 update------

Tried a friend's sim that they got this september and its all the same. So im at a loss.

Thank you for the suggestions, they were worth a try.

I guess ill just switch to a virtual Rogers network.

Dec04 update------

Mobilicity sucks as far as the Galaxy note 1 is concerned

However Wind Mobile works.

Phone: SGH- i717M

Rom: Blackstar X ICS 4.0.4

Radio: BlazeICS

Mobilicity signal dies right around downtown edmonton

Wind keeps on going hard.

Looks like either my lifetime plan goes or this phone goes. :(

----- Dec 15

It was a bad antenna in the first note.

Got a replacement and now its works great.

Heard good things about the T879 Radio too.

Still on Mobilicity

If i could get rid of that one Splash Screen with BlackStar roms I'd be set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cs982005:
Network: Wind Mobile (Toronto)

Phone: SGH- i717R (Rogers phone)

Rom: Blackstar X ICS 4.0.4

Radio: T879UVLG3 (from TMO Note SGH-T879ZBBTMB)

I have also used the same radio with many other ICS and JB roms (custom canadian, flapjaxxx, CM9, CM10, Paranoid) and it worked fine.

For battery purposes, Blackstar is so far the best rom I ever used for longevity. Combine it with trying to be on wifi whenever possible and you are pretty much guaranteed to make it to your next bedtime on one charge.

[HTC One S] kiraew:

This is just a temp way to do it .

It connect successful . qzem , try to find what is the problem for cant obtaining ip automatically . It would be quite suffer when wanna use public wifi :(

Problem at my devices :

1) Can't save picture after took picture using camera app .

2) superusers got problem , can't get permission for the apps .

3 ) wifi cant get ip address automatically . ( have to manual set up static ip )
[HTC One S] qzem:
I will get to debugging and trying to fixing problems on monday,cause I am on camping for weekend with my buddies :).
[HTC One S] onlinechi:
Any chance its possible to remove the 3 button menu and remap menu to long hold home?
[HTC One S] banesi:
Is this mode available for One S? This would be first thing I would like to change for sure :good:

There is some info HERE
[HTC One S] qzem:
Try this WIFI fix and report if it works. I am gonna test soon. And if it does I will include it in next version.

I can include this, but I will read a little more, to see if it is worth it.

EDIT: Good news I've solved WIFI and root problems. Will upload new build tommorow, cause I most probably I won't have enaught time today.
[HTC One S] qzem:
New version is up!
[HTC One S] thecoby:
I suggest you to change thread caption to v2, and to move up changelog for v2.
[HTC One S] banesi:
wow, removing htc gallery from rom and at least not providing appropriate substitute doesn't help much
[HTC One S] qzem:
Oops my mistake, I must have accidentaly remove it. I will correct that.

EDIT: until then you can download some gallery app from play store, just type in gallery and choose one.
[HTC One S] banesi:
here's de-odexed HTCAlbum.apk

anyway, qzem, I'm trying to create my own rom but I have problems flashing it from recovery, it seems my updater-script may be in fault, can you please tell me if I should just copy updater-script from your own rom or only some lines of code inside to make it work?
[HTC One S] torxx:
I will make TrickDroid today, no need to copy my updater-script for that then
[HTC One S] banesi:
thx torxx, i have this device for couple of days and i must say it's a total mess, hopefully development will make some progress soon
[HTC One S] tattooalex28:
Thx for supporting the s3 development
[HTC One S] kiraew:
Thank you for the developement .. Truly thank you . Hopefully It will continue as S4 device continue too . :victory:

Million thanks !!
[HTC One S] nec11:
De elopment of this de device has moved sonewere else?
[HTC One S] qzem:
No it is just on a stand by. There is no.update from htc so there is no need for change in this rom. But if somebody would help.me theme this rom too look more of an aosp, I could release new version.
[HTC One S] kiraew:

Question: Will the next update be on Jellybean or on-http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.110-1.11.401.109_release_263732ssncxv07ffnkmtmi.zip
[HTC One S] qzem:
I've asked all the developers for HTC One S S4, if somebody is willing to port CM9 or CM10 to our phone, but nobody is interested, sinc it is to dificult for them to port it on a phone they don't have. Apparently this to phones are very different not just by processor, as they say...

First thing first, please don't quote first post of the thread cause it is so long, i would reply anyway :). This one is already based on the rom from your link. And If jellybean does come out for this phone I will most probably make an update.
[HTC One S] darktyroll:
how is the battery life on the One S C2 with this rom? I want the phone only for sms/call, thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] azenra:
why dont you give it a try ?
[HTC One S] qzem:
The battery life should be at least the same or even better than stock rom, cause a lot of apps were removed, and some build.prop modifications where made.
[HTC One S] Wyall:
You shouldn't believe that custom Roms will give you a highly improved battery life. HTC did a good job at one S battery usage and removing stuff etc will not increase the battery time very remarkable
[HTC One S] avon76:
Hello mate

Do you thing to make some update for our S3?
[HTC One S] Wyall:
He can't do anything unless HTC releases a new update. This isn't a ROM which is much customized. He removed stuff and added some tweaks, not more, not less ;)
[HTC One S] fabio87:
same here, especially in the office if I need to reboot and forget about it.

Otherwise, thanks and appreciate the effort for S3, at least there one rom to play around with and I really hope you will keep working on this :)

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

After flashing this rom and restoring backup of previous rom, I cannot access wifi and data anymore (on my backed up rom). Know whats going on?

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

Says 'Turning On' and then says error for both wifi and data, bluetooth is fine apparently

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

So...what can I say...Since my data wasnt turning on anymore, I decided to do a complete wipe and reset my phone with original rom. That didnt work. Ok...so I thought let me reflash this custom rom. Data Still not working. Mmmh... ok so I thought let me install the RUU and get back to scratch. So I relocked the bootloader. Once done that it goes to bootloader saying **Relocked** ***secutiry warning*** and stays on that bootloader screen, anything I try to do goes back to bootloader.

I tried restoring the RUU but says 'customer ID error' ...something about not the right file, so Im in search of another RUU for S3 devices. I have this at the moment

so any ideas please anyone?

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

wow what a ride. So after re- unlocking the bootloader I can go back to stock and booting system, but data and wifi not working. What can I do if I want to go back to my original rom since it cannot install RUU since my system is newer? I like this custom rom but I like the lockscreen sense shortcuts...
[HTC One S] avon76:
After relocking you have to install RUU;)

Do not restart phone.Just stay in bootloader and install Ruu
[HTC One S] qzem:
That is very strange that even after flashin official rom you data is still not working. Did you by any chance restor you data and system settings from previous rom. Casue this could explain why you are having problem with wifi.
[HTC One S] fabio87:
I Installed this RUU (http://www.4shared.com/file/k-UJs2Eo/RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_.html?aff=7637829) and everything went back to normal.

Regarding the wifi and data not coming back after restoring system/data and boot backup made with TWRP (even just restoring the system without data and system settings it didnt work), I have no idea of what to say could be the cause. Either way I'll stick to this for the time being and not be adventurous anymore with a device that sadly doesnt get much support :P

Still appreciating the rom efforts though :) Thanks for the advises!
[HTC One S] stylus1828:
Thank you qzem for this awesome rom.

I'm using it since yesterday and it runs flawlessly!

I like that you removed a lot of sense stuff and optimized things.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers! :good:
[HTC One S] onlinechi:
Your data and WiFi was not working because you were not using the stock bootloader. And it can't be flashed via twrp.. Only through fast boot.
[HTC One S] orlith:
Thanks for the S3 support :)

I got 2 questions about your rom :

- "Added /data/app/ functionality" : Can you explain a bit what functionnality you're talking about please ?

- Do someone know what app has to be installed to let the "meteo lockscreen" work ? (sorry for english) . Today i only got "no meteo available"

Thx
[HTC One S] qzem:
wel /app/data functionality is nothing special, it just gives me (or you) zhe option to add appliaction in rom (.zip file), that are not installed as system apps. You know, normally when you flash rom all apps that are included are system apps, and therefore they can only be removed with third party application like Titanium Backup. But If I include those extra apps in /data folder, then you can simply uninstall them like any other market app.

What is meteo lockscreen? Maybe this can help you regarding your question.
[HTC One S] orlith:
Sorry, I forgot that meteo is not an international word :)

What I would like to run is the Weather forecast lockscreen (the one on the right : http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/www/htc-sense/images/personalization-lockscreen.png)

The lock screen is there but the forecast stay empty. I think it miss one sense app , just wondering if someone know which one

Regarding data\app, I was thinking that it could be a special folder on the "sdcard" in which we can store some apk or tar file that are automatically installed when doing a wipe factory reset. (this is how I set it up when I worked on a Miui Desire rom).

Thx
[HTC One S] redring:
just up a rom, dump from my new 1s;)
[HTC One S] qzem:
I've removed weather.apk and weather widget that is why it is not working. I hope I'll have some time this week to make new version of my rom with this stuff included back, cause now there is option to use all the the lockscreen sens options without havein Rosie.apk (HTC sens) installed.

Is this rom android 4.0.4 and htc sense 4.1 already?

EDIT: Nevermind it is still Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0.
[HTC One S] ravenchad:
any official RUU for Asia? thanks :)
[HTC One S] redring:
yea....still...4.0.3

4.0.4 for S3 may not released yet......

[HTC One S] qzem:
There is BackToBasics_v3 availible for download.

EDIT: If you are coming from lower version of this rom, just make backup, wipe cache, flash rom and you are good to go. No need to factory reset (data wipe) or system wipe in this case.
[HTC One S] stylus1828:
Thanks qzem! :) Downloading and testing!
[HTC One S] qzem:
Hey is there RUU for this already? I would like to extract only radio, and try flash it on my phone, to see if there is any improvement in signal reception and data speed.

[HTC One S] mikness360:
hi is there a new version of the rom coming out?
[HTC One S] qzem:
Not for now. I think TrickDroid is that good now, and has a lot of tweaks (you can even remove htc sens), that I don't feel the need to update this rom. But maybe when Jelly Bean for our device is out, I will reconsider.
[HTC One S] mikness360:
actually,I prefer yours,it's more stock,and because of that,it doesn't have any bug or anything.

having that lot of tweaks is good but on the other hand,there are unexpected bugs that could come out.

well thanks anyway,I think I'll keep this ;)

[HTC One S] mrluker:
can you help me build a rom from RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100 (with root permission and keep everything as stock) so can run on my device because my HTC one S (TWM-TM cid 621) haven't RUU file download and update :(

Sorry for my bad English. Thank you very very much
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
Hi how can I have the stock launcher in this Rom??? Thanks
[HTC One S] qzem:
Do you mean HTC sens? You have to push (copy) Rosie.apk to /system/app, and set correct permisions. You can do this with file explorer. YOu can get Rosie.apk fro Trick Droid 3.0.

Cheers
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
Hi i did that but i hace FC, May im giving the worng permisions??
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
I just copied and shows this
[HTC One S] qzem:
Check the permissions from other system apps, and give the same. Than reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot again. I hope this will work. If it doesn't work, then just add Rosie.apk into my rom zip file in /system/app and flash rom again, but wipe only cache and dalvik cache. This way should defenitly work, and you'll get to keep all the apps you have installed from market.
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
No work me. Any version with all HTC.apps?? I really like sense launcher. Thanks
[HTC One S] qzem:
Why don't you use TrickDroid, if you want all HTC apps?
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
Trickmod dont work for me, it boot but i have some problem with sreen resolution, some apps and options i can not see it because it look like a bad tv. I have to put in landscape mode to see. The apps look inverted colors and i cannot conect to data network. This is the onlu rom that works fine
[HTC One S] joni_strokes:
it would be great!

can't wait to see another rom for s3 :good:
[HTC One S] joni_strokes:
hello qzem, how is it going about the new version of back to basics?
[HTC One S] plmosqueda:
Hi, will be nice to see another back to basics. Actually I'm using this ROM and is great, with de nova launcher update the icons looks very good. I made some test deleting more HTC apps, I'll like to have the ROM like stock and pure android. I deleted the HTC lock screen and he backs to stock aosp lock that's cool. But if someone calls I have to unlock to see who is calling or texting. Well I'm trying to erase all that HTC apps and leave only the good ones like beats and the camera. That's are very good. I replaced gallery with quick pic, video player with dice player, sms with gosms , etc... And the keyboard with swype. I personally found HTC keyboard very bad. Again I said I miss cyanogenmod and my galaxy nexus hahaha. Any way to help you let me know. Let's do an aosp ROM. XD

[HTC One S] qzem:
No I am sorry, but I don't have the time neither the will to learn how to build and develop aosp rom. I have I job that takes me 10-11 hours per day (including the ride to job and back home), and I have to maintain my personal life too :).
[HTC One S] veehexx:
ok, i've rolled back to this, from an ICS one (they dont seem to play well with my phone), but no longer have 'no lockscreen' to get rid of the sense ring unlock method. i use pattern unlock and i'm almost sure this rom had that function...?

did i use a tweak or should i have the option of no lockscreen under personalisation?
[HTC One S] qzem:
Will tell you tomorrow when I check this. But it should be under personalization, at least on JB is like this.
[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:
in ics there is no no lockscreen option, dont know about this rom in perticular
[HTC One S] veehexx:
^^ thats what im thinking, but i ran this ROM since it's release (upto about 2-3 weeks ago when i went to lux JB v4) and i'm sure i wouldnt of coped with 2 lock screens for so many months.

maybe i'm just going soft in my older age :S .... I think I am actually. I said I rolled back from an ICS to this rom... i meant JB!!! (used this rom, tried lux v4, then came back to this)

If you could have a look qzem, that'd be great. this has been a very fluid ROM; you've done excellent work on it which is why i'm returning to it.

Hi guys,

Im a new guy with HTC and mine is the S3 version.

Right now I want to flash this rom and in the picture you can see i dont have the 2.11 bootloader and im on 4.0.3 and each timei try to flash the ROM i get the erro taht you can see in the second picture. Can anybody please help me with this?? I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, the phone is rooted and the bootloader its unlocked.

Please help me, thx in advance...

Best regards...
[HTC One S] qzem:
I am sorry but bilal_liberty is right, there is not a No lockscreen option under Personalization on ICS, try searching in Settings -> Security, but I don't think there is. I am on Jelly Bean for som time now, and cannot check it for sure.

I think you need TWRP recovery 2.4.2.0 or even older, to flash this rom. Cause there are some problems with this new recoveries. You can find older recoery on TWRP official site, just google it ;). You can than flash it in the fastboot mode with this command:

fasboot flash recovery recovery.img

[HTC One X] petedavison93:
I have the International version of the One X and I tried to flash CM9 to it today. Everything was fine until I booted it up and it got stuck on the boot screen. Thought it wouldn't be a problem and I'd just try redoing the steps.. However, every time I select recovery from the bootloader, it restarts my phone. If I then hold the power button, it will turn off and then restart without me telling it too. The only way I can switch it off is by quickly booting into the bootloader and selecting 'Power Down'. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
[HTC One X] petedavison93:
Yes. Didn't change anything. Still stuck on the bootscreen and restarts everytime I enter recovery. Just tried reflashing recovery too.

Could Installing the stock bootloader and starting again help? or will that make no difference?
[HTC One X] petedavison93:
Is there any way of completely clearing the system without using recovery?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot
[HTC One X] petedavison93:
Yes, However I fixed the bootup problem by using the following:

1.) Wiped with fastboot rather than recovery:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

2.) Re-flash recovery (fixed booting into recovery (ONLY when fastboot wipe is done)):

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3.) Re-flash boot kernel:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

4.) Flash ROM and GApps using recovery

This worked fine BUT everytime I try and power down my phone it automatically restarts. This is incredibly annoying. The only way I can get it to turn off is to boot into fastboot and select power off. If my phone is plugged in it will still reboot after about 10 seconds which means I can't charge it unless it's on.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
At least you got your main problem sorted :)
