SetCPU only controls CPU0. CPU1 is not being modified at all. Kernel Tuner with Version 4.4.7.1 finally works quite well with ElementalX, yet can cause great issues with bricked if ShowP's instructions are not observed carefully - it has a lot of manipulating power and ShowP's kernel does what it is told to do :D

I used to use SetCPU and still think it is an extremely well developed app, yet it has limitiations on multi core devices.

This advice is free. A thanks will do :-p

:D you can't check if your system is screwed up other than by noticing issues with it and comparing to others, e,g. one check would be to come here and say: "Hey, i've got issue x, y and z, has anyone else got those too?" and if people then come back and they all say "yes" we will know that the ROM has a problem. Whereas, if you only get no replies at all or disagreements like "No not here" you will know you've got a problem with your system. So you then have to find out what causes it. There's three main factors you need to take into account:

- ROM (could have flashed badly or gone corrupt after a sudden power failure like overheating or forced battery pull etc)

- Kernel (could just be buggy or not work with your ROM - although it will not be the problem for your issue here right now, but theoretically could use bad drivers for sensors too, yet again, check on thread if anyone else has the issue too)

- Hardware (always consider that the OneS (Ville) is an exceptionally picky and fussy device, not one unit is like the other and have never seen so many differently reacting phones from one series. It has issues with its partitions in every imaginable way, from mounting to simple read access, so many things can easily be blamed on the phones hardware. Unfortunately, those are hard to find out and even harder to fix.)

I recommend you first download an app that can check if your Proximity Sensor works at all. If you see it does indeed work, you come here again but i can already tell you: there were a few incidents with that sensor not working, yet the overwhelming majority did not report back with problems. Most of the incidents were related to the Phone Dialer Rotation tweak and if i remember correctly, there was only one other with a similar issue to yours.

So, this makes me think you need to either look at a bad ROM flash (e.g. RUU, Wipe, flash again) or you have faulty hardware (which you can check with that sensor-box app).

Oh, and i still like to be thanked. I notice lately people have stopped thanking me. Probably i am trolling too much :D but just wanted to say: i still appreciate if you guys click that button :angel:
[HTC One S] herzbert:
First, thanks for your quick and detailed answer.

I have searched the forum for my issue (proximity sensor) and found several answers like yours to disable phone and dialer rotation. So I did and the issue remained. Maybe you came across another solution and just forgot to post ;) (You put a lot of effort into development and support for this device, thanks.)

Android sensor box says nothing like broken or malfunction about my proximity sensor. So I think it may be a broken ROM installation. I will a different ROM and if that does not help even consider flash an RUU.

Thanks for your help

und einen schönen Feiertag noch
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
I didnt put any development into this ROM. I only do thread support and sometimes some beta testing if there is anything to test. But thanks for the compliments. :D

1.) Your picture from android sensor box shows the proximity-sensor while its not registering anything close. Did you hold your hand above it, like say about 9 - 0 cm and check if that little plant in that pot comes out when you move your hand away or towards the sensor? That graphic is supposed to move... (just to make sure).

2.) Installing a different ROM and checking the sensor there is a good thing but i wanted to spare you that effort by recommending Android Sensor-Box. If the sensor works with that, you KNOW that Viper Installation is faulty and that it will work on other ROM's.

3.) If it works with the App, RUU, wipe in bootloader after RUU (SD - backup all your sh!t but dont backup Appdata) and then flash Recovery again and then flash ROM again. Should be good then. If not, i don't know what else to try.
[HTC One S] herzbert:
No reaction when I approach my hand of face in the detection range of the sensor. As next step I will try another ROM or clean installation of ViperOneS. Flashing the RUU I am a bit unsure if SuperCID or S-Off could interfere badly.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Your sensor is damaged or dirty. Just recently I had mayonnaise run into the speaker grid. It made the sensor not work anymore. I could fix it by heating the metal body with a lighter (very carefully for not to crack the screen or damage the board and sensor), then turn it upside down and suck it out.

You need to somehow find out if your sensor is just dirty or if it is really broken. Can you remember anything getting into the speaker grid? Liquid? Dust? Grease?

Does it light up with a slight red glow when using android sensor box?

[HTC One S] Jottaen:
That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet. Thanks for the picture!
[HTC One S] herzbert:
I do not remember any liquid getting into the phone, just maybe some raindrops. Dust could be I carry the phone in my trousers' pocket most of the time. There is no red glow from the sensor neither tripped by the app nor by a call.

I will do the test with different ROM(s) tomorrow. I'll let you know.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
yeah. It was. I just posted that to show, stupid things do happen and when asking for help it's always the best thing to be honest about every aspect so people can help properly.

Well I use it because it gets me better benchmark score on 3D and 2D. Intellidemand isn't available on latest stable as of yet. Once he adds it ill use it because that normally renders me better results.

I haven't had any issues with SetCPU to be honest, both cores are always rockin. kernel turner was cool but I like to keep it simple and let the kernel do its thing.

I would like to use an app on my device that only works when I have adb disabled, I go into settings - developer options untick android debugging and also switch developer options off but as soon as I connect it to pc with usb cable android debugging starts and I can't stop it any help?
[HTC One S] Manneman32:
I noticed last night that the clockapp (with alarm) shuts down seconds after it starts. No FC or anything...it just closes. Since I use the alarmfunction often this is a dealbreaker for me.

I flashed 2.1.0 and also the Wifi-fix. Also flashed 2.2.0 OTA. The problem was there with plain 2.1.0 and I hoped it would be fixed with the update but no luck...

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Not sure, think insecure ADB has been enabled in the kernel, also in all custom kernels, but not sure if thats supposed to switch it on when u connect a pc. Might be able to look into that later. Not now, about to go to work.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

The Clock FC was a known issue and had been solved with a Theme first and then with the OTA update. Only thing i can think of is file leftovers in cache.

It could be worth a try to change the theme to stock, then wipe caches (/cache and dalvik-cache) and then re-enable the sense5 theme.
[HTC One S] Manneman32:
Great news... I'll try that!

Hi there!

I would know if with this rom is possible to restore full 3d-looking on widgets ( as on sense 4+ the 3d effect it's just eneble when you slide in one direction ) and the mobile wallpaper that moove itself when you slide across the pages.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Ok thanks let me know if you figure anything out
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Ok first off: i see you are correct with your observation that it seems to return when you plug in your PC. I never noticed because i always wanted it on.

Secondly: i believe this must be a mod in the kernel or ramdisk or whatever so i doubt Torxx is gonna change that since the vast majority wants it on i presume.

When you switch off USB Debugging in settings, and then disable developer options alltogether, it instantly returns too.

When you grab an app from the PS (like ADB Toggle), it has the very same effect: you can toggle it off but as soon as there is any state change somewhere, it comes back.

So, unless Torxx reads here and has a simple solution at hand and replies with that, i doubt you will get a solution to this here. Sorry.

Most 3D effects have been stripped down with this version and they get even less when we get Sense5. Blame HTC.

The moving wallpaper can be enabled in tweaks again though. Check Venom Tweaks App, on Tab: Sense, Header: Homescreen, Item "Wallpaper Scrolling". Check that box and it should work again.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Ok thanks for the reply, was testing drivedroid on our device but debug needs to be disabled thanks for trying though
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Thank you for your reply. Well actually I don't understand HTC having a fast a clean interface is a fact but they have overdone this thing. Indeed the sense 5.0 is good for blinkfeed but they have removed all the rest and I don't know if I'm going to update to sense 5
[HTC One S] sebi112:
can we expect further updates of this rom or is nobody from team venom devolping anymore for the one s
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Bit of a laugh:

I was a massive fan of GB candy style. I used to just LOVE Danny's Team Blue Droid. When i got to be a member of the ViperOneS Beta testers, i was arguing with hes_theone64 and Trollalot for months about why we had to go towards a reduced 3D effect. I tried to talk Trollalot into making a clone of Danny's theme :D . Hes_theon64 used to do themes back then that were strongly oriented towards the native android interface and he used to argue that the more minimalist approach was up to date and a welcome change after the long overdue eye candy style, which he considered childish and not appropriate for a serious phone UI.

So, eventually, i got the message. I found i suddenly liked the minimalist theme approach.

And you know why? Because i love the UI approach of Windows Phone and THAT made me understand the elegance of a minimalist interface. For me, the new Sense Theme which Behold_this did, is the coolest sense experience i had so far. And: it is suddenly getting closer to something i would also consider using for work. During GB times, i never thought Android to be anything but a toy. I used WP for work (best Office integration ever, slick, elegant, no distractions). Now, we are getting towards something that is still extremely flexible, you can do most things you want with it, or you can slim it right down until you have a nexus experience.

Tip: Virtuous Themes have not only gotten a Holo Light theme, no they also have other themes, one i particularly like because it reminds me so much of Gingerbread, is called "Reflections".

And if you talk about the animations, well, yea. I am glad they have gotten less intense. they were like, hmm... overdone? Too performance hungry? whatever. They were distracting at least.

Long story short: swallow it or go look for something else. This is the next month/years into the future. Eye Candy is a thing of the past.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Development is done mainly by m0narx (if you think of tweaks), some other dudes contribute a considerable amount too. Those all don't have a One S. Torxx used to have a One S and hence port, adjust and enhance Viper for it. Now he also doesn't have a OneS anymore BUT he did commit to supporting it a bit further down the line.

Support means: provide new tweaks from the authors every now and then. I think there will be updates but it will not be as frequent anymore and mainly just ports of what m0narx and the others come up with.

I am not sure if Torxx is going to work on a new base though once we get one. But you know, honestly, i think its too early to judge those things. It always soooo much depends on the current real life circumstances of everyone. If there's capacity, i am sure he will do something. Just don't forget that he is supporting more than just one phone he doesn't own anymore. Can you imagine the time that goes into that? Well. There you go.
[HTC One S] Curiousn00b:
I'm wondering. Are you guys using 2.2.0, or 2.1.0?

I noticed many bugs in 2.2.0 that leads to many fc's.
[HTC One S] troby86:
The only FCs I've had on 2.2.0 was Tweaks and Hub, but after clearing the data on those apps, no issues. Sounds like you didn't flash correctly. Full wipe, Flash 2.1.0, let if boot and set everything up. Then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, then flash the 2.2.0 update.
[HTC One S] jcxtreme30:
Make sure you fix permissions also
[HTC One S] Curiousn00b:
I've reflashed 2.1.0 a few times, and I normally only run into one force close from Facebook, don't know why, when adding my DropBox account.

I use my One S as a Mini Tablet. No Data, as I'm a Virgin Mobile user.

Last time I upgraded to 2.2.0, things were just unstable. Many force closes in the Tweaks app, clearing data/cache didn't help me with it, as it appeared after clicking some status bar tweaks.

What kernel are you using?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Venom tweaks needs to have its app data in settings--> apps deleted after the update. Clearing cache won't suffice.

Also, change around themes after install gets rid of some little nasties.

Hi, is there a way to make the home button just to go to Sense desktop and when there, not to make the "pinch to zoom" thing?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
You mean disable the Overview/Helicopterview of the home screens? Don't think so. Would probably be something that needed editing in Rosie and not in the button functions. Sounds like a new tweak that would need to be developed. If i am not mistaken, you would need to go and ask m0narx. :D

Well, you can try... :p
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
what can I say, I disagree with this and I think that sense 4.0 was the right compromise between minimalism and eye looking, indeed there is NO lag on sense 4.0 and this is on my one S, think this running on the ONE which has a more powerfull CPU and GPU, it would have handle with no problem at all and no lag. As they gone too far with sense 3.5 about effects now they are going to far with the minimalism, same story.
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
Hey, long time I have not been here :cowboy:

Sorry for being absent for so long, but my time does not allow to develop on multiple devices, so I moved on 3 months ago after buying the ONE. Hope you guys respect, that there is only a limited amount of time you can spent on hobby stuff.

Regarding your design discussion - what can I say? There is no doubt that you can`t argue design to a point, that it´s always in the eye of the user. Nevertheless if you see design in a time context, then certainly Android was far behind the time in the pre ICS era (like iOS is today). I always felt that way and that was the reason, why I spent so much time in theming for Eclair, Froyo and GB devices. When ICS arrived I was really pleased with the general change, so I finally could spend more time on the technical and ROM aspects of Android. For me HTC has done another step forward with Sense 5 in terms of design, but at the same time I must admit that in some cases they went to far both in hardware and UI decisions. Typical examples of flaws are the 2 button layout (even if we now have Kernels, which support Menu on Logo...) and missing message, mail and Agenda widgets. Nevertheless i have to admit, that they did a lot of stuff right, especially by getting rid of the old tabs in favor of swiping through them now, which offers way more screen estate and is more elgant and fluent to use.

So if HTC can manage to revise some of their flaws like 2 buttons and eliminating to many widgets, they will for sure be a great choice again (even with these flaws the ONE is a great choice).

Having said that I still sometimes miss the very compact format of the One S, which is still one of the best devices HTC has ever built.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
You speak out what i feel about the One S. Thank you, Sir! :D And nice to see you're still reading here (or do you just check your mentions? haha)

I just really love that device and i could keep it forever if i wasn't so sick of all the hardware flaws in so many units and the "little princess" behavior of it.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
I probably already know the answear but I'll ask anyway, is there any way to install viper tweaks on a stock rom? Actually I'm asking this because I do not want a lot of things from a custom roms, basically I'm looking for:

- mobile wallpaper

- no lag on keyboard

- base 4.09

- better 3g/wifi signal management

- 3d effects back on some widget like meteo

- full equilization option on music player

- carusel effect on unlock but I think it's already present on venom tweaks

- change the wallpaper on the all apps menu

- even if I go counter the most people i do NOT want quick link on status bar, because in my taste that is too much eye candy!!

- ( optional: chance to have the big icon on the slider like in old sense 3.5 )

For the rest, the theme included I would like to keep everything as it is!

P.S. I have red that some of the fixes are already present on the 4.09 ( keyboard, signals and performance ) but I haven't tested it yet sine my cid HTC_409 haven't received the OTA yet.
[HTC One S] herzbert:
I tried an AOSP Codename Lungo, but the screen would not turn off during a call. The sensor test app I did not install and test. Then I restored my backup of Viper 2.2 until now, because my Windows serves me with a BSOD when trying to flass the 3.16 base RUU. De-/reinstalling drivers it worked once but then the RUU could not restart my phone. Next try was start the RUU while my phone was in bootloader but the BSOD came back. This damn software cracks me :(

Just today during a call I recognized the display turned off and then on again. Took it off my head and held my hand over the sensor and the screen went off. Tested with Android sensor box successfully too. But the sensor detects only totally covered or not.

Is it the same with your sensors? Only two states are detected (mine says 9.0 cm or 0.0 cm, nothing in between)?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Wow. Bet it was dirt then. Two states is correct. Cheap sensor. Only does on or off.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

What is base 4.09? The latest firmware i know of is the 3.16 RUU???

and all that stuff you want... well... no idea man. Why don't you go for Torxx's TrickDroid then? It's mostly stock with some improvements.

And no, of course Venom Tweaks App will NEVER work on a stock ROM because the app isn't the tweaks, its only controlling them. The tweaks are all over the system, loads of modifications. You only have the App to switch them on and off and manipulate them. If you snatch the app and put it on a stock ROM nothing will happen, maybe it won't even launch? Just try :D

If you put a steering wheel from a Ferrari into a Fiat, the Fiat will still be a Fiat and not run faster nor will it have better engine sound nor brighter lights. ;)

what i already tired - re downloaded rom, wiped sd, system,cache and dealvik before every fresh install, ran tmous 1.53 RUU and sometimes euro 3.16

im completely out of ideals so any help would be greatly appreciated, i also included a recovery log that shows up in my sd after an install, idont know what to make of it

well there is a minor update around, maybe I have used the wrong name, here they talk about 401.9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740920&page=274 anyway I was referring to that update.

Regarding my vision about sense mod well actually some things are already present on venom tweaks ( like scrollling wallpaper and carusel effect on unlocking ). Also I think that change the wallpaper image on the all apps menu shouldn't be so difficoult as well. Regarding lag on keyboard and better wifi/3g signals it seems that HTC improved this in the last OTA ( which I don't know the exact name! )

Sound Enhancements not working, except Beat Audio

Hi,

I've recently reinstalled ViperOneS 2.1.0 from scratch, i.e. wiped all partitions, flashed rom, reinstalled all apps from market, set up phone mostly from scratch (except for settings recovered from HTC and Google account), only restored the data for some games, not any system data. Still I'm having this problem with the Sound Enhancements not working. When I first installed ViperOneS 2.1.0 a few months ago everything worked fine for a while and then the Sound Enhancements stopped working at some point but I didn't bother to check why that happened. Now, it's not working at all from the start.

I was wondering if there is any app or setting or anything else that you know may conflict with these modules or if there is any quick fix I could try, like flashing a module or a library or even just replacing some system files using the file explorer.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

I came back on the ViperOneS 2 days ago. With "Android System Info", I saw in the Logs a few errors reports :

E/WebConsole (25362) AFMA_getSdkConstants is not defined at about:blank:1

E/hwcomposer Invalid Handle

E/mode10 (1683) Scene container cannot bind null scene

With a lot of errors "E/power".

Do you think that's dangerous or that could generate problems ? I know on the Stock rom we don't have all these errors...
