I have CWM installed and rooted. Do i need S-off to proceed? i'm asking this because i've been searching for over 2 hours on how to S-off, and i'm so confused. Some say i need SuperCID first before S-off and some say i need S-off before SuperCID. Some said I don't even need S-off to flash roms. Now i'm just so confused. Can i just proceed with flashing the ROM or will i brick my phone?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Anyone have the same issues I posted a page or two back?
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
If you want to go S-Off then you need superCID first! S-off is not necessary to flash roms! you will need to fastboot flash boot boot.img in order for the rom to boot! this is flashing the kernel for the rom!

just read the installation instructions in the OP!

If you wish to go S-Off ( which saves you having to flash the boot.img go Here

yes I tried sending feedback on google apps nothing happens but I've never tried it on stock either so not sure what should happen!
[HTC One S] kc73837:
So i proceed with S-On, flashed the boot.img, and reboot. I got to the htc logo page, and the device turned off. Now I can't even turn my device on. Did i brick it? I tried turning the device on by holding the power button, the lights on the 3 buttons on the bottom just blinks. Tried holding volume down and power, but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Update: forget it, i hold the power button for like 10seconds, released it. after 10 seconds, still with volume down pressed, i was able to see bootloader. Thanks.

Sneakyghost, many thanks for your help. Quick question, flashed the ROM with S-On. Do you think I can flash OTA update with S-ON? Can i go ahead and flash OTA?

Thanks!!!

Just that my recommendation is the best option and yours is pretty much the last option before it stops working.

I have two bugs, I already have the navigation crash, not with the stock RUU JB, and when I put vibrate mode it auto switch to silent mode when I receive a call and the phone doesn't vibrate.

Edit : I found the reason of switching vibrate/silent, it's due to the vybe app, I uninstall it and now that's works again, but I really don't know what I can do for navigation app, I already flash RUU, reinstall rom, wipe cache/dalvik cache, fix permissions...

I tried out the skin by the same author and while it looks good, I dislike the unlock ring being replaced by the small lock symbol.

Is this the same for the complete addon?

Could anyone post some screenshots of what the addon changes please?

Sorry for the late reply, having been busy with work the last few days, really busy. Now on holidays till may 13th... will stick around a LOT more now and try my best to save you some work... lazy biatches! xD

So you want to know if you can flash the OTA with S-ON, right? A question most likely asked by someone who has not yet achieved a fair overview of how things work on Android and Sense.

Hint: you were able to flash the ROM with S-ON. What do you think will then be the case with the OTA, which does not even contain a new boot.img (kernel), which would have been the problem with S-ON?

Short answer: yes, of course you can flash the OTA being security ON.

Explainer to get you on board:

when security is ON, some partitions are locked for write-operations in either Android, Recovery or Bootloader or in two of them, or all of them modes.

While BOOT (the kernel) partition is locked for writes in recovery, it can still be written to in fastboot (bootloader) mode and partly also on running android. So, there you go. Keeping security ON doesn't make it impossible to flash this ROM but it makes it harder because you have to extract the boot image and flash it fastboot.

And just to confuse you more and make it even more complicated:

while Boot can't be written to in recovery, there are workarounds, that do actually allow it to be done. You will maybe come across them with zips saying something like "S-ON Installer" or "HausX method enabled installer" or something of the like. There is also an App that works really really brilliant which goes by the name of "FlashImageGUI". It enables very secure, reliable kernel flashing under Android when being S-ON. Thank god, that App supports the OneS. The App is useless though if your android doesn't boot because it has no kernel. It only works when android is already up and running and you want to change the kernel.

Security set to ON will also block the RADIO partition for writes, making it hard to exchange a radio.

S-ON will from the latest 3.16.402.9 OTA onwards also lock Partition 4 for writes in all modes, which makes achieving S-OFF completely impossible. Also CID changes are not possible anymore until someone finds a way to achieve SuperCID despite partition 4 being locked.

All in all, the Phone has 36 Partitions. A complete listing is available from AKToronto here on the OneS forum. Search for Partition Listing.

It partly also states which partition can be written to in what mode.

OK, thats my lesson for today. Additional information is warmly welcome and may help later search results turn up more useful info. If the search is being used that is... ;)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
(3.16.401.9) Is it confirmed that this OTA completely blocks S-OFF? I only heard of a rumor, didn't know if it is confirmed.
[HTC One S] theNOOBuser:
I tried installing this rom earlier today and it failed on me completely. I'm coming from stock TMOUS OTA Jellybean update rooted, s-off, and bootloader unlocked. I used the newest version of TWRP to flash and it took me to Aroma installer. Then after I finished with aroma, it rebooted. The phone then became stuck on the HTC screen right on boot up. I let it sit for about 30 minutes but nothing happened so I hard reset. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong or how I can flash properly?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
I also only heard rumors. Only way to find out is by testing it.

Problem: to verify you have to switch security back to ON and then check if you can still write to P4. If it fails you are f.u.c.k.e.d.

Or wait, it could work if you leave your phone on SuperCID and then switch Security back ON and then do a test-write to P4. If it writes without error, the rumor is crap and you can then write SuperCID again. If it doesn't write, you still have your SuperCID and can use the Exploit again (apparently, the write to P4 is blocked now, not the exploit itself, so it actually disables superCID and not the S-OFF exploit).

Since it involves a fair bit of bricking, i will NOT test it for you guys because i already lost one phone to the bricking business. I don't have that much money. Or you all throw in a pot for me and i buy a cheap defective OneS off ebay and test it on that xD ...
[HTC One S] theNOOBuser:
Can anyone lend me hand? I'm still not sure what I did wrong, or how I can properly flash it if I did something wrong.

I have a zip which would change the lock screen to default, but it would also change the weather clock widget, as well as the nav bar on the home screen (basically all the .m10 images). The only way to change just the lock ring would be to edit the .m10 images if you know how, if not, then your outta luck. PM me if you want the zip.

This happened for me too. I followed all the instruction regarding fastboot and deleting the cache and have tried to install this ROM 5 times tonight in different ways and it never gets past the initial HTC screen. Now I'm back on blackbean because its getting late and I've spent the past 8 hours installing lots of different Roms (trying to find one plays nice with MHL) I hope there is a solution to this.

All i know is that it is buggy and doesn't work with any of the roms... so yea get TWRP 2.3.3 or lower and it should work. Do a complete backup to your pc if you have anything important on the phone and then do a complete wipe of the phone and then flash!

Bluetooth HID Profiles

Anybody have an idea how to get Bluetooth HID profiles to work correctly. As I understand it, Sense 3-4 were supposed to fix BT HID profiles to work correctly with peripherals and game controllers.

I am trying to get a Motorola RZ100 Smart Controller to work. It pairs as both a mouse controller and a phone headset, but even when it shows connected, nothing is working (buttons, touchpad, phone controls). I tested with another phone (Galaxy S Vibrant on PAC) and it works fine.

If I need to flash some BT stack tweak or install a helper APK, I am game, I just haven't found anything with the search tools or on the market (plenty of Wiimote helpers, etc.)

My goal is to interface with a HTC H200 Media Link and use the RZ100 as a remote control... I know I have to use a Sense ROM to connect to the Media Link, but it will feel pretty silly if only AOSP ROMs have proper BT stacks... Also, I have come to like the performance boost from using HTC source based kernels and frameworks tailored to the One S (little disturbing frankly how much performance AOSP leaves on the table).
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
How can you say that? It makes you either look like a liar or like totally incapable of running a proper search. Both means you shouldn't be here. The solution is on literally every page since the advent of the newer TWRP versions. Your answer is so unbelievably bold that it just asks for trouble and to be quite honest, i have been accused of trolling a LOT. But when i get up in the morning and i find statements like these i just loose all motivation to help you guys out. And i loose my temper too. I love helping people, but then you come across dumb and ignorant saying you searched and you most obviously didn't even read back the last 10 pages (as would be an expected minimum). What do you think is going to happen next? A lot of abusive comments? another ****storm? Well i hope not for the sake of the threads atmosphere but just to make one thing clear: do NOT ever come back and say you searched when it is totally obvious you didn't. Be honest and straightforward. I would probably even accept an excuse like "hey i am on my way to work, no time but could you quickly point out...." rather then hiding your laziness and/or lack of understanding with some obviously untrue statement.

And for the reason why its not working: i have been stuck between Torxx, Dees_Troy from TWRP and some other dudes trying to get them to talk to each other and find out. Thing is, its neither the ROM chefs responsibility to fix nor Dees_Troy's. Them all have good reasons to believe its not their product. I did not get a chance to talk to the Dev of Aroma, but most likely, it is the Aroma Script not working together well with the newer HTC (JB Sense) kernels. The newer TWRP use that kernel.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
All i can tell you is this: on the Beta-Testers Channel has been virtually no talk about HID devices for BT. I strongly assume that Torxx and hes_theone64 have not been looking into this. However, i know Torxx is reading this thread and if them two guys or the rest of Team Venom on other ROM's have had business with HID, its likely you either get a NO or a YES or a MAYBE from Torxx. For now, there is nothing we supporters can do for you. Sorry.

SRS don't work with the stock music app, try with play music.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Did you make sure you also wiped the SD-Card? I think behold has pointed out that the Issue can lie there as well. If you didn't, i recommend you repeat your RUU Process with an SD Wipe (unless the RUU you chose formats the SD anyway of course).

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

It's not really clear. All i can say is that i do notice quite a difference on BlueTooth, but hardly anything on my Car Stereo. If turning it up half way and then changing presets, i do hear a light difference but not much.

We had this topic already here and i think we can safely assume that most EQ's are rather useless with some equipment and are good with other equipment. I wouldn't go so far to say they don't work but agreeably they are not really consistent with different gear.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Interesting. :D

Thanks for that hint! ;)

Makes the tiny differences in the stock music app suddenly appear like plain imagination. Always assumed the audio stream is being modified after it leaves the player app and thus there is no point discussing different players but obviously that isn't the case. Hmm.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya i was confused with it when testing sound mod, would of thought it would of worked with stock app.

[HTC One S] PeQuEsan:
Now that we talk about music apps... :)

Anyone here uses stock sense music app? Anyone of those is having duplicate entries for all music files?

If you review file details for a duplicate pair, you can see one of them points to /storage/sdcard0/music/blablabla and the other to /mnt/sdcard/music/blablabla...

I've reproduced this behaviour twice with a full RUU flash and wipe in the middle (including sd card wipe)... ¿¿¿???

I don't see these duplicities in stock sense gallery for example, which I think uses same "scan media" process in the back.

Thanks a lot.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Nope, not here..

Partitions of your OneS messed up? When doing the RUU, did you also do another Clear Storage in bootloader? nevermind... :)

After RUU and wipe, did you by any chance restore your nandroid instead of building up system new? Did you use titanium backup? Not saying you're stupid but sometimes people do the weirdest things. Just to make sure you know :p
[HTC One S] PeQuEsan:
Nop. I didn't do any nandroid restore. I installed all from scratch (wipe in between), and restored only some user apps with TB, apparently nothing to do with media...:eek:

Hey i just wanted to point out something.I asked before but nobody answered. IM on viper 2.2.0 and elemental 4.2.

Look under Venom Tweaks -> Lockscreen. It should be there somewhere. I can look for it in some minutes
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Venom Tweaks, Tab: Status Bar, Header "Quicksettings Tweaks" --> there check out the option "Longpress Switch Order" to customize the HQS.

Further down are settings for the EQS, you can toggle them using the volume buttons or shake the phone. Either way, you can switch them off separately or both or none with these settings.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

In that case i suggest to leave the Venom Tweaks bit alone, set it to not apply after boot and then use Kernel Tuner from Pedja to do the settings. It had issues for quite some time but the latest revision of that app works fine with elemental settings. I am very happy with it since update to 4.4.7.1.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Yes. Goto Venom Tweaks, Tab "Lockscreen", Header "Appearance". There find the entry "Custom App Notification". You can pick any app to show their stuff on Lockscreen.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Here are a few issues I have:

1. Feedback in the Google Search app doesn't work. Minor, but works in CM10.1. Not sure why it doesn't work, maybe a deleted Feedback apk in /system/? It isn't just a problem with Google Search - the same problem exists in Chrome.

Attached is the logcat (first one)

2. After choosing AOSP Recent Apps, the recent apps are viewable, even with a pattern lock. (A bit of a security issue)

Also attached, second logcat.

3. (Very minor) I had set long-press home to open Google Now. After recording a bug report (using the option in Venom Tweaks), my long-press home has changed to screenshot, which I already have as PWR + VOL DN.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
I've looked at your logcat to compare with one of mine on the same issue & the only thing that stands out in both is =

handleMessage: E msg.what=131085

05-06 08:03:05.767

but I'm not sure if this is the correct line of the fault! Anyone?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
The logcat is having this:

05-06 08:03:20.522 W/SendGoogleFeedback(16097): SPDY proxy OFF before sending feedback
05-06 08:03:20.522 W/ActivityManager( 1072): Unable to start service Intent { act=android.intent.action.BUG_REPORT }: not found

05-06 08:03:21.623 W/ActivityManager( 1072): Unable to start service Intent { act=android.intent.action.BUG_REPORT }: not found

for the feedback thingy. Not sure how to interprete that though. Why would you want to feed google even more data anyway? Just out of curiosity? Isn't that something we would rather not want to have anyway?

Regarding the random change of button association: you sure that wasn't something else? Can you reproduce that at all? I have never had that myself to be honest and also haven't read it here on this thread yet.

regarding the AOSP Taskmanager: that is something rather serious. Samsung just got in to bad headlines with it because their galaxy range was shortly exposed to this. It got fixed quickly though i think. There shouldn't be a task manager on the lockscreen.

However, you won't get to any activity on the homescreen though. All one can see is a list of recent apps (might be disturbing for the husband who cheats on his wife and when she checks the phone she will see all the dirty messaging apps open...).

I am not really sure Venom can fix that. I wonder how it is on AOSP/CM? Is that taskmanager showing up on lockscreen too? If so, i'd think this rather is googles fault. Otherwise, hmmm... not my playground, really.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
If that is the only line in both logcats, I suspect that that is the issue (that that, lol). Not sure why though, since Google Feedback does not have a standalone apk as far as I am aware.

For the feedback, I wanted to file a bug report basically, about how the Google Search app doesn't respect WiFi proxy settings. I stumbled upon the fact that I was unable to file a bug report with Google so I had to file a bug report with Venom Roms (lol).

About the AOSP task manager, yes, you are unable to access apps from the lockscreen (presumably it is sandboxed) from the rest of the UI somehow. However, having recent apps, especially the phone (shows all recently called contacts) isn't too good if someone takes my phone from my hand and presses that button, well they will see the last five apps I had open. I have always had a pattern or PIN lock and never had the issue on CM10/10.1 so it must be with the implementation of the recent apps in Venom ROMs (or maybe just ViperOneS).

Regarding the button association, I was able to easily reproduce the issue. Press the bug report button (in the Venom Tweaks app > about, start recording, stop recording and the button should be remapped to take a screenshot on long-press of the home button, instead of whatever you previously had it set to.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
They do. It's a system app (not something on the play store) named GoggleFeedback.apk and it has been removed from the ROM.
