It was just something I suspected as when mine was set high both cores were running at 100% for a good length of time causing lag & I thought it may or may not have affected other software running in this case Sense as it is a big app & with big apps also running cpu may not be able to keep up & ram maybe all used up causing android to stop a background running app! basically a shot in the dark! ;)
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Good thought.

How about this: setting a high read-ahead (always only applies to sdcard reads i believe) with a "slowish" I/O scheduler is increasing cpu load by forcing much data (from the bigger buffer) to be read with a scheduler that is inappropriate for this scenario? Hence the UI lags. What doesn't make sense in this scenario is, that Sense Data usually isn't located on SD, so the read-ahead and scheduler should not affect it?

Or does the read-ahead and scheduler also apply for common NAND reads? I don't think so. I think i should educate myself on this a little more. But somehow this all doesn't make too much sense.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
Well I've learned some thing new! let me know if you find an answer on this! Of course it may just be a coincidence that lowering the read ahead solved his issue but if so then the issue will return so we'll have to wait n see! I'll up my read ahead & see if I can replicate the issue!

[HTC One S] rustykwak:
After trying to replicate the sense closure issue by increasing the read ahead to well over 3000kb while running several big memory sucking apps while running others in the back ground it appears that it was a coincidence! I not only was unable to cause closure but also failed to make the system lag under load!

As the last time I had the lag issue while having a higher read ahead size was before I went back to stock & took the two OTA's & factory resetting with the stock recovery to align the partitions/blocks correctly I feel that the issue raised must be due to running the 4.1.1 version with alignments for 4.0.4 & although this was only raised by one user I would suggest to anyone suffering these kind of issues in the future to run the JB RUU & factory reset (on stock recovery) to ensure all partitions are aligned for this version! As previously mentioned by Sneakyghost some pages back!

A point worth considering if anyone has similar issues!

quick help

Hey guys,

I installed the Rom yesterday, did the upgrade and all seems fine and well with the exception that I have a certain ~2 second lag when I go in certain menus ex: Venom tweaks, phone setup or certain sub menus in programs. Also while my screen is on the battery keeps draining quite fast.

Any suggestions on what I would have to do ??

thx

The answer is a few posts above yours...re apply htc skin, then change to whatever skin you want.

[HTC One S] DrRyder:
Hm...so I was able to get the ROM installed again and its been working great but what the hell causes the Horizontal Quick Settings to appear randomly? I cant find any option in the Tweaks to disable them. I want to use the Vertical Quick Settings tab and not have the Horizontal QS. If I uncheck everything in the "hide n reorder" menu, then SystemUI crashes and wont start until I put the options back.

It just showed up randomly and won't go away. Anyone know of how to fix it?
[HTC One S] Ankh:
Does anybody have the problem that the "phone" app is really slow? I installed a couple of weeks ago a ASOP rom which had no problems. But I was missing the sense options, so I installed Viper One S this weekend. Sadly the phone app (sense dailer?) when "starting" it, just takes a long time..

[HTC One S] PeQuEsan:
If I want to roll back to stock camera, could I just overwrite /system/app/camera.apk with the one in, for example, JB trickdroid ROM?

I've always had problems with ported camera (I had them with ICS ROMs also)... After some usage, battery starts to drain fast due to a partial_wakelock named "msm_camera_suspend"... :(

I'll test it if noone knows... just asking...

Thanks a lot.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
You cannot purposely disable the HQS completely, however, long-pressing on the Clock upper left corner in the pull-down menu hides them.

If you randomly see them appearing, it mostly will be from you accidentally long-pressing that clock.

The vertical quick settings can be toggled using 3 ways: first, do the tabbed-thing as usual, alternatively a few lines further down in the Statusbar-Tweaks page you find the header "Quick Actions" where you can as a second option set the volume buttons to toggle the VQS or even set a shake action to toggle VQS.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Yes of course you can, although i strongly suggest to go S-OFF and flash an old RUU before. After that, go for old Viper, then only upgrade the Radio and WiFi partitions as required using Tecardos Radio Installer.
[HTC One S] PeQuEsan:
Ok. I did it successfully... Just take care of erasing app data after replacing the apk and before rebooting, just in case...

bye!
[HTC One S] Daiskei:
I feel like this is worth repeating...

If you remove this line:

#Default Skin

persist.sys.skin=com.htc.skin.default

from the end of the 2.2.0 OTA build.prop and the t-mobile build.prop (if you're a T-mobile user) before flashing it will prevent you having the lag issues and needing to reapply the theme. I've had this verified by other users and I see so many people upset about the "lag" lately.
[HTC One S] teamet:
Yes I agree, that would be a nice addition. It is not that obvious to search ~100 pages back to find the solution
[HTC One S] DrRyder:
Wow..it was that easy. I feel dumb. Who would have thought that holding the clock would do that? Thanks for the help dude.
[HTC One S] Daiskei:
If you change longpress switch order in status bar tweaks to nothing it disables them but also disables quick settings.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Right and wrong.

You're correct in stating that it disables the HQS. I actually forgot about it thanks for pointing it out.

Wrong is though, that it also disables VQS. That can still be set to tabbed option, triggered by the volume buttons or by shake.

Spotify crashes only with viper rom

Hi

I have this app called spotify. Its a music app. But it crashes with this rom. Everything else worsk great. Love the rom.

Viper is fresh installed with full wipe.

I have attached catlogs if some one could have a look.

Spotify works with trickdroid and every other rom that i have tried.

thanks!
[HTC One S] teamet:
Does it crash instantly? I just downloaded it, logged in using Facebook and clicked around for a bit. I could not pay any tracks cause I don't have premium, but it didn't crash.
[HTC One S] Ljunkan:
Yes it crash instantly,
[HTC One S] :
What have you tried to resolve issue?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Spotify works good for me. Checked it out.

The LogCat is cryptic to me. Statfs is throwing error 13 which i couldn't identify with a quick google.

Then there seems to be some java and dalvik related stuff going on so my best bet would be a shot in the dark: delete dalvik cache and cache in recovery and see if it helps. If not, try fix permissions.

Also, a far fetched guess: maybe your SD-Card is having a hiccup and might need reformatting? RUU?

[EDIT]

Found this thread here which has this suggestion:

Look at your logcat and see: the path "/data" is throwing that error. Try to apply cmod as suggested above to that path. It might just be a broken permission. Might be easier than running fix permission script on the whole system...

Either use ADB Shell from your PC or use Terminal Emulator on Phone.

How to get the generic hotspot app to work
[HTC One S] popokrew:
I have a few issues.

1) I know maps/navigation crashing has been discussed but I didn't see the final solution. I know someone posted an apk, is using it the solution?

2) even though I have sense rotation disabled, when I'm in a call and the phone senses it is horizontal, the screen comes on and my cheek always ends up pressing buttons. It's like the proximity sensor is ignored. I tried cycling through sense rotation settings in venom tweaks but no dice.

3) I have pretty good overall battery life, it gets me though the day, but when I unplug it from the charger in the morning it only takes a minute or two and its already counting down from 100%. I used to use a Sensation abd it would stay on 100 for some time before starting to drop. Normal?
[HTC One S] teamet:
Disable rotation in the misc tab in venom tweaks. Then sensors will work again. It's an unhandled bug
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Mine works out of the box. In order to properly answer your question, more information is required. Like: does it crash? Does it simply not work? If so, what does your other device see? Does it see a hotspot? What encryption did you pick?

Have you gotten a logcat which knowledgeable people could (maybe) take a look at?

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

1. "Final Solution" (not a nice term in my language, brings up bad stories of a dark past) is to RUU the phone with the JellyBean RUU because the map crashes ultimately stem from bad wipes and file fragments left over. Those bad wipes most often manifest in other ways but some people also experience this.

2. With phone and dialer rotation disabled, this does normally not happen nor is it on purpose. Another hint towards a screwed setup.

3. Speaking of my phone, yes, it is normal although a bit bothersome.

wifi and push mail or whatsapp

I realy like the Rom but had to go to stock because of this failure:

When in wifi mode ( always on) i did not get push emails or whatsapp messages when screen is off. This was very annoying.

Yesterday i flashed the Stock Jeally Bean an now it is working.

Does anybody else has this failure?

I am on hboot 1.16. What could i Do?

the rom is great except for one problem..... whenever i try to use navigation it freezes and crash all the time.... it will tell me my destination and while the animation starts to move it freezes then crash. i tried clearing the app data and i tried clearing cache and dalvik and i even uninstall it and re-installing it. also fix permissions but it still crash.

need help to get this app working perfect because i do use navigation alot cuz im in a new town
[HTC One S] kelso78:
I've been having the same problem. I'm traveling next week and will need my navigation to be working. I may have to switch to another ROM if I can't find a fix.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
This is

just a theory

. (EDIT: Nice theory, however, incorrect. See post below me.) I don't have this issue myself but here goes:

I

guess

this happens when you install JB over ICS without wiping your sdcard. There is some leftover data in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/ and possibly other places.

This leftover data may be either incompatible, or have permissions set to prevent the new maps app from writing its own data. Try deleting that, clearing app data and cache for maps app, and rebooting. If you can't delete it while booted, delete it in an adb shell in recovery.

Again, I don't know this for a fact and it is just a theory/suggestion. If you try this, please let us know either way.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Nice theory, however, incorrect. It has nothing to do with SD card contents. In fact we've already posted before what the issue/fix is, however, some people choose not to accept it.

The issue is caused when some partitions of the phone are not wiped and rebuilt properly when updating to JB. This only happens to:

A) some people that installed jellybean via OTA did not have it apply properly (ota performs NO wipes and can leave data fragments in some partitions other than /data or /system wiping yourself after will make no difference as we cannot wipe protected partitions)

or

B) installed a custom ROM running jellybean without ever running the JB RUU first (even though jellybean will run just fine on your device doing it this way, you still are not having all the partitions updated correctly to the jellybean firmware. This is where the issue CAN, but won't always, arise.)

OTA's do not erase/rewrite every partition of the phone. They simply overwrite the system and a few other partitions, but not all so they cannot fix all file system errors. RUUs do and can. When running the jellybean RUU it cleans up the file system and every partition which causes the issue to go away or never appear.

So, running the jellybean RUU and then apply whatever custom rom you want to use is the only solution for people experiencing the problem. If the RUU does not fix your problem you do have hardware issues and should get your phone replaced.

BTW this issue has in fact been reported across all HTC Sense devices running jellybean, stock and custom ROMs alike, rooted and unrooted. It's not unique to the One S and it can happen to some, while others have no issue.

Smart Sync is disabled in Tweaks. It is also not syncing on daytime.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Ok. My wife has the same problem on her HTC One S SE which has essentially the same software but stock.

With her device I assume that it started happening when I tried to replace gtalk in a noobish manner, screwed up and finally killed it. The syncing depends on some gtalk stuff I heard. So my theory is if that doesn't work right, it causes all other sync depending stuff to mess up too.

However, that is a blindfold guess and not a fact.

But: do check if your gtalk works right.

Have you considered to RUU the phone by the way?

Perhaps you read behold_this's explainer on the map fc issue? That might hold some truth for your situation too. Here as well, the RUU would be the fix of first choice.

[HTC One S] NQNH:
improve your battery life in comparison to what?

stock is stock.

I get best battery life with trickdroid 9.1, removing all the bloat i didnt need (flickr, dropbox, htc themes etc etc etc) and installing bulletproof kernel 1.3. set mail sync to 1hour and weather to 3h and everything runs long, smooth and fine
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
What you ask is very general. The only situation i can think of, were the answer could be "Yes" looks like this:

If you flashed a JellyBean based custom ROM over an ICS based system without using a JellyBean RUU inbetween, some things can happen, like the Maps FC as explained by Behold_This.

Due to the file remains that e.g. cause maps to FC, an increased battery drain is at least thinkable but there is no "fact" or proof as such yet. So, if you want to find out, you will have to use a RUU and see what happens.

I was on Viper 2.2.0 for a very long time coming straight from an ICS base simply because my phone rejected the 3.16 JB RUU whenever i tried to run it. My battery life was totally average. Nothing special there.

Just 2 weeks ago, my phone suddenly accepted the RUU. Completely out of the blue. After i had run it, i set up the Viper 2.2.0 completely afresh. Ever since, Battery drain is less. Only a little, but noticeable. Why? Well, nothing i can state here for sure, but i think the old setup was suffering from inconsistent, less streamlined partitions or their contents. Much like what Behold said.

So, my advice is: it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Worst case would be same as before, best case, it could get better.

Hi, Is there a way to keep HTC Sense on memory? Each time I leave Real Racing 3 it loads again...
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Nope never had that particular bug.

I don't quite understand though why many people are so utterly hesitant to go the RUU way. For me it's usually about one hour or 90 minutes at most to redo everything manually without involving Titanium Backups or similar stuff (bad by the way, no app-data backups when trying to eliminate errors please!). It's a lot of work to do but at least it can help a lot in many ways.

If you guys had chosen to give your phone to a service shop in town, that would exactly be what they do. Run the RUU and let you set it all up again. So why not just do it.
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
Right guys weird one this i tried another rom and decided to come back to viper .........again:)

any ideas?

cheers
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
we are already looking at it in case you didn't notice. Someone more educated than me or Rusty would need to enlighten us humble folks and tell us what that is :laugh:

Honestly, there's not much left you can do but try and find that bugger. Let me re-think what you did already:

- ran a RUU, right?

- cleared all caches

- deleted appdata from Gtalk?

- re-installed gtalk?

- fixed permissions?

- disabled HTC Smart Sync?

- put Wifi to always on?

- did a factory reset in your Custom Recovery, which is actually obsolete after running a RUU but still...?

What's left to do and no-one has mentioned so far:

In the HTC Mail app, settings, synchronisation settings, there is an option called "Intelligent Sync". That makes syncs happen less often with decreasing activity and has led to almost no syncing in my case a few times because i have some almost inactive email accounts. If you speak of "no sync" in regards of the HTC Mail app, then do make sure you set sync to a fixed time intervall to avoid this situation.

I am not sure if this intelligent syncronisation (isn't that the same as HTC Smart Sync???) isn't also applicable to some other push dependent accounts. If i were you, i'd skim through the different sync settings and go look for it and shut it off.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Yes. Best idea is to use the thread search as this is an issue that has come about with an update of TWRP and has been discussed plenty.

Downgrade your Recovery preferrably to version 2.3.3.0 which has proven to work with the least issues so far and then try again ;)
[HTC One S] sebi112:
Yes i checked this
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
First: a memory intensive app like a game will always force android task manager to kill off other apps for having enough room. This is especially true to HTC Sense, which is rather large on memory, and games. They rival each other. So this basically means what you experience is a rather natural effect of the android system.

Secondly, this can be tweaked. I remember from the Desire HD ROM's we used to run on the HD2 that there were options to actually LOCK an app to memory and that the recommendation was to only ever use it for sense, as it can have severe side-effects if you lock the wrong apps in memory and starve other apps. Since i am not a ROM Chef i have no clue how to do that but i am sure google will spit out some guide.

Third, there was an option in Venom Tweaks that let you manipulate the rules for kicking apps out of memory, OOM settings. Out Of Memory settings. These are gone. However, there is third-party apps and/or scripts that let you do this. Think of SuperCharger Script. Not sure it works on this ROM but you can always try.
