But the battery lifetime on stock is better than here.. i can show still how i loose 1 % per 2 minutes.. Or i have simply the wrong kernel installed? Have bubba vn4 installed. Which kernel recommend?
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Are you using the latest build? do you flash the boot.img file after flashing the rom? If you are using the latest rom and bubba vn4 then something is very wrong. I recommend you try downloading the latest rom from the link in the original post dated June 27 2013 and use the kernel that comes with it. Make sure to flash the kernel after or use flash image gui.

Hi,

I just got my htc one s. I want to install this pacman rom. I have a question.

I just upgraded to the newest t-mobile stock rom. Next I will do the unlock and flash recovery. But after that I'm not sure what to do, do I need to flash a 3.4 kernel or do I already have it because I'm on the newest stock version? When I need another, which one should I get?
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
Sorry wasn't meant to hit thanks, but as for your query when you follow the instructions in the OP: Because you've flashed the latest stock ROM I believe you'll have the latest HBOOT version (2.15) needed for the kernel. To confirm this boot into the bootloader and check. Next, you'll be told to flash the PAC ROM and the boot.img file, if you're choosing to stay S-ON. This can be found in the PAC ROM ZIP you downloaded. When you flash the boot.img in fastboot, it will flash the 3.4 kernel with all required files. Should work a charm.
[HTC One S] PePPeN20:
hello guys ... fantastic rom, I only have a problem .. sometimes the signal icon becomes gray even though in reality the phone can receive calls etc etc.

how to solve? :) or it is normal??

sorry for my english :o:o
[HTC One S] atrus5:
That is your mobile data dropping out. You can still get phone calls and sms just internet will be gone. Are you on s-off? Have you flashed the kernel after flashing the rom?
[HTC One S] PePPeN20:
Thanks for the replies :laugh: ...so..

I dont s-off the phone and I don't flash the kernel after flashing the rom :o

advise me to s-off? ...last question where i found the kernel? how to flash it? by the recovery?

thanks for your patience:o
[HTC One S] gohan678:
I just asked the same before you asked so look at my answer

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

I installed pacman and its working! thank you!

how do I update the rom in the future? Can I install the new zips without wiping?
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
No problem, glad its working. For the most part, unless the OP says so, you can wipe the dalvik cache and cache ONLY and flash the new ZIP straight over the old without losing data. If there's a kernel update mentioned, flash boot.img then flash ZIP straight over with dalvik & cache wipe ONLY. Should be okay. Only if you've got things breaking should you do a full wipe.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

If you're not S-OFF you MUST flash the kernel (boot.img ) separately else your WiFi/mobile won't work properly. Flashing the boot.img is done in Fastboot. Turn your phone off, then press power+volume down; a screen comes up with ***TAMPERED**UNLOCKED** on top. use the volume button to select "Fastboot" and press the power button to select it. Plug your phone into the PC, it should say "FASTBOOT USB". You should have a ADB or Fastboot environment on your PC. Copy the boot.img file into the directory where the fastboot EXE is. Run a command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and it should flash the boot img. If you're having problems with this use the All In One Tool by Hasoon2000, check for it in the dev thread.

Just a quick note to all you guys, PLEASE, these questions you've asked that I've answered have been answered MANY times within this thread. Please take just 2 minutes of your time to do a "thread search" on the top centre to find the answers to save us all the effort. For the basics of flashing, fastboot etc I was feeling generous lol but in future perhaps consider these threads for help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2140967
[HTC One S] PePPeN20:
So... im only flash boot.IMG on fastboot? Boot.IMG is in the zip of the last ROM?
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Here are full instrucionts.

1. Download Rom and Gapps.

2. Unzip boot.img from zip file onto computer.

3. Place rom and gapps onto phone.

4. Reboot to recovery.

5. If you are coming from a different rom or from stock rom wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik. If not skip this and go to step 6.

6. Wipe Cache and Dalvik.

7. Flash rom and gapps in that order.

8. Reboot to bootloader. Should be an option in both cwm and twrp to do this. Don't hit the reboot sytem button in twrp after flashing. Go back to home screen

9. Connect phone to computer. If in windows you will need to have installed htc usb drivers, adb and fastboot. Link To get everything working here. This link gives a link to linux as well.

9. When in bootloader, should say fastboot in there, Enter the command from a terminal (go to start and type 'cmd' to get a terminal or command prompt as it is called in windows) in your computer 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' This has to be done from the same directory you unzipped the file from step 2. Enter without quotation marks.

10. Reboot phone.

If you experience any problems after installing a new rom, try to first wipe all then see if problem persists.

Hope this helps.

New update has been uploaded. Brand new animation for tiles from status bar.

Kernel is at version 3.4.10

Can't find anything wrong from testing all day and leaving it on all night. Battery seems great to me. Had program running to see if any random reboots and had none in 20 hours. Had 170 apps on phone and still ran without crashes.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em isnt that backwards, what happened to .49?
[HTC One S] atrus5:
I know right. They regressed it to 3.4.10 edit: oops my mistake. s3 is using 3.4.45. It seems to work better though.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Oh right, has long the battery is still good then I good lol.
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
Coincidentally the app tile animation was from the 1st July I think! The build I attempted 1 July had .49 as well I think. Battery seemed to be worse, perhaps hence the kernel regression.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
No my first build of .49 had crap battery but second one was fine.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Correct just was waiting for big kernel update to release new update. I tried patience once. Doctor said hey those are mine give them back. lol
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Gees I remember first build of 3.4. If you looked at the phone the battery went down 10%. If you farted near it the phone dropped another 20. Don't bother asking what happened when you sneezed.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol i was getting silly low screen on times in fact don't think I see it over an hour lol.
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
I spent 10 minutes with the screen on watching, WATCHING the circle-icon on my statusbar draining. Got 4 hours, with 20 minutes screen on time I think...
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol i was getting about 12 hours just couldn't believe how bad it was.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
lol. that circle icon is pretty high quality. takes a lot of battery to power such amazing graphics you know. lol. iphone has nothing on that circle icon.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol nice one.
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
Lol iPhone. What a joke, really. ;) Pity they took the old CM CircleMod out, I preferred the digits for the old CM CircleMod to the new builds' ones.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Well ya but I kinda like the look of the wallpaper thing in 7, would love to see that on as a live wallpaper. Don't use circle, I'm boring and have the standard icon.
[HTC One S] gohan678:
yay update! downloading right now. do I need to install gapps again when I update?

and I have another question. if slide from the drawer button in any direction, there is a menu popping out, can I somehow disable it?
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Follow the How to Install section in red of original post. It's the same when updating.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm guessing you mean pie. Go to setting/system/trigger area/none to get rid of it.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
In my humble opinion, iphone is the biggest rip off artists that take credit for the rip off. Then sue others when they patent the rip off and spend tons on lawyers who defend the rip off. Then get mad when someone even comes a little bit close to doing something similar to there's and say it's cause they need all the help they can get. Oh poor iphone you are so poor in need of help from judges. Case in point ios7. Every new update, I repeat EVERY new update is already on the android, but they say it's there idea. Sigh. Ok rant done lol
[HTC One S] gohan678:
yes it was pie, thank you!
[HTC One S] PePPeN20:
all done ... the signal always gives me the same problem :rolleyes:
[HTC One S] gohan678:
I have no signal Problem h / h+ most the time
[HTC One S] _kevn_:
It seems the problem lies in when there is no good signal and when the signal is lost it doesn't reconnect the the data side of the network. When in a good signal area it doesn't drop. I changed the fast dormancy from 1 to 0 and wiped cache and dalvik. I'm testing at work to see if it helps. I'll report back later.

It's not just this ROM, it's across all of them as far as I can tell.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Well that's just a kick in the crotch now isn't it.

edit: ok so that is why I don't get the drop in my signal. My operator's fast dormancy is very good which means that when signal gets low it just dumps it to a lower level. Some carriers fast dormancy isn't very good and will just drop signal instead of changing to a lower level. So if your phone keeps dropping signal give this a try

Get build prop editor from the play store.

edit build.prop file

The needed change is detailed here:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1 change to =0

Thanks to _kevin_ for finding this solution.

I can't put this on all the builds since everyone's carriers are different
[HTC One S] _kevn_:
I'm not positive this is the issue but I'm testing. I'll test the power collapse you mention when I get home! Hopefully we'll come to a solution! :D
[HTC One S] atrus5:
The more that I've read and seen from my phone and the technical help I got from the wonderful people at my cellphone provider (cough cough sarcasm cough cough ) I'm pretty sure that this is the cause of it. Also reading up on fast dormancy was a pretty big eye opener.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
This sounds exactly right, it is the issue I am having and no matter what ROM or radio it is the same. I'm having dropped signal issues with my Galaxy Nexus as well so I am thinking it is a carrier issue. It just doesn't seem as bad as my One S. My mom has trouble making calls but she is disabled and mostly just sits in the house where signal is terrible. I am trying to get her a signal booster from Cincinnati Bell to see if that fixes it. Thanks guys for all your help!

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

Just to make sure, we edit build.prop to exactly how it is shown here? Where it says =1 change to =0 is what we type? We don't literally change the 1 to a zero? Thanks
[HTC One S] atrus5:
change the

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

to

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
[HTC One S] _kevn_:
Quick question, would I just add in the power collapse below the fast dormancy? Power collapse is not in the build prop currently unless I passed over it.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
It's not in there at all. You will need to add it in. I got this from a thread. I'm not sure 100% if it's needed. I use build prop editor from jrummy. In there is a plus symbol where you add ro.ril.disable.power.collapse for the property name and 1 for the property value.

edit: oh and then reboot
[HTC One S] Bowmanspeer:
One little thing I do differently is I double click the ROM zip folder right after I downloaded it. It will open in whatever app you use to unzip files. Right click on the boot.IMG. in menu select option to "move to selected folder". This gives a window to choose where you want the boot.IMG to go which of course is where your adb and fast boot are. If you've had a boot.IMG there before it will ask if you want to replace the old one with the new one. Yes of course. I do this with every ROM. No need to try to keep track of previous boot.img's.

Find a way that works best for you. Do it every time to be sure the correct results are achieved. When in doubt search it out. Guaranteed the answer is here already-even a partial answer can help. You've got to read.

[HTC One S] atrus5:
Some very good advice. Couldn't agree more. Searching the thread or xda will get tons of answers. Reading is a gift. Use it.
[HTC One S] cjjansen:
Just install flash image gui. With this application is it very easy for s-on users to flash kernels. When you open the application, just hit the Rom as kernel file and this application will automatically extract the Rom and flash the kernel, after that he will ask you to reboot with different options. You can reboot in recovery and wipe everything. And after that, just flash the rom in recovery.

Sorry for my bad English.
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
Agreed with this. I Use Flash Image GUI when I'm going from one ROM to another, but when trying TrickDroid 10 a few days back I got bootloops after using FI-GUI leaving me having to use the old school fastboot method. Quickest easiest way, especially for moving from one build of PAC to the next (if the build has a new kernel) is most definitely Flash Image GUI though. Like -->FI-GUI new kernel-->new PAC flashed in Recovery, easy. On this topic, has anyone ever tried "dual-booting" ROMs? I know several tools exist where you make "slots" for your ROMs and you can hot-swap between them?
[HTC One S] cjjansen:
A few weeks ago I started a thread about dual booting, my question was: "is dual booting possible on the HTC one S". The only answer I got was: "No."

So I hope that someone here got an idea how to dual boot.......
[HTC One S] atrus5:
The partitions are pretty locked up. I don't see how they can dual boot on this phone. I can see it with s-off maybe but without it not a chance. To make a program that says must be root and s-off for htc one s and every htc is different. Seems like a ton of work. Would be nice but nandroid does a good job if you want to switch between versions.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Hi been running this ROM and it has been great, I just had a little issue during a call earlier but I wouldn't call it a bug yet since I dirty flashed the latest build. I will have to clean flash it when I get time today. I was on a call and screen went to sleep and upon waking it disconnected my call. No biggy and sorry for bringing it up without clean flashing but maybe someone else noticed it.

Also, and probably wrong thread to continue discussing the signal drop issue so I apologize again lol. I added the build.prop edit you recommended but haven't been able to monitor my moms phone, but this morning her signal was dropped completely and the only way I was able to restore it was by rebooting the device. Not sure if the edit had anything to do with it but she never has that issue that bad, it's usually just for a minute or so, or airplane mode on and off usually fixes it. Just giving my experience so far. Thanks for sharing this great ROM and will clean flash shortly and try calls to see if issue persists.
[HTC One S] _kevn_:
I've been at home where signal is great so I haven't been able to really test adding in the power collapse addition to the build prop. but I am going for a walk a little later with the kids and I'll be checking where I've lost signal last week. I'll edit this post later with my findings.

I do have to say that so far I have not had signal drop but it's still too early to tell since I've been at home since I made the change.

*edit*

The walk to the park with the kids resulted in solid connection throughout. The next test will be tomorrow at work where I have yet to keep connection the whole day through since this weird data connection thing showed its ugly head. Findings to come tomorrow in the form of this post edited again.

I'm excited to hopefully have the solution!

*edit 2*

Had an early day at work today but the whole time I was there, I had no data drops/signal connection issues. I'm going to continue monitoring but I'd say I think we may have stumbled upon the solution!

[MENTION=4090851]atrus5[/MENTION] thank you very much for the missing piece of the puzzle! My friend is running illusions currently and took the advice and is having the same success.

This is AWESOME !!

I'm going to give it another day or so and then try some of the build prop tweaks I've seen posted, for faster data connection.

(mostly) Full info on my setup in no particular order.

*hboot 2.15

*radio 1.13

*S-off via facepalm

*added build prop edits from above (changed the fast dormancy and added power collapse)

*running latest PAC-MAN from the awesome dev [MENTION=4090851]atrus5[/MENTION]

*T-Mobile US Chicagoland area

I hope that some people, if not everyone who's suffering from the data/signal issue, benefits from this find!
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Change her settings back to how they were. That is more likely a building issue. Is this just data or Wi-Fi as well?
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Well, I couldn't tell. Her power was out this morning and she had WiFi on with no WiFi to connect to so maybe that could have triggered it. I still need to upgrade her firmware and get her on this ROM. I was just kind of waiting to see how things played out with the new kernel and all before I jumped the gun with her phone. Seems to be heading in the right direction, I am very happy with this ROM and kernel so far in such early stages. My phone and signal seems better since upgrading firmware but I could just be imagining lol. I haven't been using my HTC enough to really know but I am using it now and all day today. Thanks Buddy appreciate all your work and help.

I had just my first data signal drop. Just after I got a sms from my provider that my data flatrate is renewed.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Have the tried the edit to build.prop that has been mentioned?
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
Still the same mate. I had no bars in my house for the majority of the day. They came back not too long ago. I'm going to describe this issue in more detail. Most of the day the data icon on top is with empty bars or with the empty "no service" look it gives, while in the notification drawer where the toggles are, it would show the icon with one or two bars, but grayed out even when I turn the data on. When I turn the data on sometimes, it would give me one or two blue bars on top, but it would be edge. Keep in mind this happens in location where I usually have full service. Toggling the WiFi/airplane mode would return my precious bars to me for a couple of minutes.

PS: In completing this comment my bars just left me again :(

Sent from my One S using a Kit-Kat, because it has more bars then this thing will ever have.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Is this working in stock rom? If not you might have to call your service provider. If it works in stock is there a different rom that you know works? Was it working with the kernel version 3.0.80? Just trying to understand the whole problem. Did you do a reboot after changing the prop file?
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
I flashed this on my moms phone last night and today she said she was getting sod's while browsing. I ran the supercharger, that may have had something to do with it. I'm not sure what all to run and what settings, all of it is a little hard to understand and keep up with lol. Does anyone have any recommendations for supercharger settings? I also just ran a stability test with Antutu and the graph was all over the place showing bad stability. Not sure if it is a reliable source or not, just trying to get my mom a stable phone. My One S seemed to run great but i don't have the time like she does to really test it. She plays games and searches the web and texts all day. She said she had to hold the power button multiple times to force a reboot. So I am playing with supercharger now, just changed some settings and see how it goes. Also she is still getting the permanent signal loss until I reboot. I don't know why this phone has to be so difficult lol. I never have these type crazy issues with my GNex.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
What I can suggest is back up non system apps and Wi-Fi settings if you need it with titanium, delete the android directory, go to recovery wipe data, wipe system, wipe dalvik, wipe cache. Install rom install gapps. Flash kernel in fastboot. Sometimes when messing with super charger it can really mess things up. Restore the apps and Wi-Fi settings. I've done it where after super charger I get sods on everything this is what worked to fix it. What works is when using super charger do the super kit first. Leave the busy box. Leave su just install zipalign. Then run the automatic settings in super charger
[HTC One S] big fancy:
Never mind. Needed a fastboot flash boot.img

I guess its a Mac thing. Instead of fastboot boot boot.img

installed this for the first time. came from the stock debloated rooted stock rom rom mckinney. followed installation exactly as stated in op. i get it to boot when i fastboot boot boot.img but when i try and restart the phone it gets to HTC splash screen and stays there. am i missing something? i had the latest firmware flashed from the stock rom. do i need to flash a different firmware?

hboot 2.15.000

radio 1.13.50.05.31

s-on
[HTC One S] donverse:
So what exactly did you do?

You need to run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with the extracted boot.img from the zip file. You did that, right?
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
I don't know about stock rom, i'll flash it later today and report back. The only other rom I've tried was trickdroid 10 and it worked, but wasn't running the kernel version 3.0.80. I rebooted after changing the prop file but it was still the same.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Yeah this sounds right, thanks Buddy
[HTC One S] big fancy:
Yes. First all I did was 'fastboot boot boot.img' and it would boot the phone up. But when I restart it would get stuck at the white HTC screen. So I then did 'fastboot flash boot.img' and that worked like a charm.
[HTC One S] gohan678:
this was my one and only data drop. only when the flat was renewed ... this is done once in a month, so I can live with that.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Oh this came from the sms program? There is a known bug for that. It should be fixed shortly. It's a cm bug with the mms program.
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
UPDATE: I didn't flash stock rom yet but i flashed taylor's xperia rom and noticed the issue still persisted. I also noticed that it had a cyanogenmod base. I think this bug could be an issue with non-sense based roms. I'll try out different roms and post the results.

UPDATE: i flashed carbon rom, and the issue still persists. after flashing the latest north american radio, the bars came back for a while but left after a reboot.
[HTC One S] atrus5:
Now to find the similarities between those roms. Nice job. It's a good start. I'm guessing something in the drivers cm uses which is odd cause they are using the same ones from stock except camera.
