Recently I rooted a friends One S just curious before I start flashing if I go from a sense rom to cyanogenmod or vice versa, Will I have to do anything with Hboot or can I switch between roms without any issues?
[HTC One S] justin11141:
You can switch between roms , regardless of your Hboot. If you're on a higher Hboot after 1.09 I think then you have to fasboot flash the boot.IMG or use flash image GUI, even if you're restoring to a previous ROM. Doesn't matter if its cyanogenmod or a stock sense ROM. If you don't want to flash the boot.IMG then you can S-OFF http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155135

I got a question regarding this topic:

My brother's One S is still on HBoot 1.09 and currently running an ICS ROM.

If he want to install a JB ROM, does he need to change his HBoot or anything else?

Because with my One X, I had to upgrade HBoot to be able to install newer ROMs.
[HTC One S] zakvoline:
Yes, Hboot update is required to install JB
[HTC One S] chezidec:
thank you, is there an easier way than going back to stock and updating via OTA?
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
don't get hboot's and boot images mixed up

you can flash jb or ics or whatever on .09 and most likely will not have to flash boot images separate. that usually occurs on .13 or higher

i have .06 and flash everything including radios

obviously can't change hboots without s-oo

I installed it and rebooted the phone but it would not pass the Samsung logo so I decided to just hard reset. Messing around with twrp trying to to reset I hit wipe system and now when I go to reboot it says no os installed!

The answer has been given on both this area and Q&A. Please don't post in more than one area. People will help you out. Whatever you do, don't panic. Just remember that as long as you can boot into TWRP and download mode, you are safe because your phone is not bricked beyond repair and there are multiple ways to get a ROM back. No guarantees on your data though (your external SD card should be fine though). Before you start messing around with much more, please read through various threads regarding what you are wanting to do so that you are prepared to do it correctly and you will have some idea of what to do should something go wrong.

Hi all,

I have created this thread to get some review & advice regarding combinations of kernel & Rom for this phone. I have tried many combinations on the phone but the battery drain issue is there and battery work for only 6 to 7 hours in very normal use. Right now I am on JB XXLPZ rom & CoCore 4.4 kernel. My daily use is normal and battery statestics shows that my screen uses 60 to 65% of the battery where I have set the briteness of the screen on Auto adjust mode. Please suggest best combination which should work for performance of battery and ofcourse speed also as my current combination has made the phone little lagy and slow in compare to the stockrom I was using DDLK2.

Please help and give suggestions.

AW: [Q] Reg. Battery Drain Issue

First of all deactivate auto screen brightness, it uses very much battery. Set it to a low level, you can always set it higher if needed.

I use lq4 + cocore 4.4 and just use stock gov and sched and have no battery problems.

Wifi needs less battery than mobile data. Use it whenever possible.

If you're not using Internet stop all connections. It drains battery most.

Get dark wallpaper, white backgrounds use more battery.

In my opinion the different govenors don't make much difference in battery life. Unless you use performance or powersave.

It's you who can influence the battery life much with your behaviours.

So stop autosync (you could use an APP for timecontrolled syncs)

Stop autobrightness

Stop internetconnections when possible or switch to wifi.

Get dark background.

Stop haptic feedback.

Watch this Screenshot. I had wifi off The most time but used it for calls and messaging.

At the end of the graph i started playing some games so... :D

More than 17 hours.

good post, really

concerning the dark background, you are really right. AMOLED-screens need (lcd not) more power for brighter pixels and subpixels. so avoid light screens. choose a dark whatsapp background (i think you use whatsapp, who does not :D). choose dark backgrounds and bright font if your able to do.

disable sync you dont need. imho you shouldnt disable contact sync and calendar sync. it drains not too much power.

one last advice: avoid to look to your phone every five mins and look if somethings changed at facebook :) this drains your battery

Two things

One

I thinks there is no much dofference between 0 brightness and 100, i mean, about battery wasting, even with no brightness has the same wasted percentages in the battery stats.

Two

Mi Galaxy Ace battery lasts 4 minutes in standby with nothing on and doing nothing. Lol
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrischa:
sorry but if u are using an AMOLED display this is not true. an AMOLED pixel produces light. As more brightness you want as more power is consumed. Otherwise an LCD display needs less power for brighter pixels because the power is needed to darken the white background panel.

If it's anything like the Note 2 you will loss any Samsung tweaks if you go with a non-touchwiz Rom. Even GPS and bluetooth is a little hairy on Aosp or cyanogenmod Roms. But each phone/team working on the Rom is different. I'm actually sticking with a custom touchwiz Rom because I need the reliability for a business trip this upcoming week.

And it will be extreme luck if the IR sensor works without Samsung's framework. The IR port is the one thing I've been dying for to make a come back. I would actually pay $20 for a fully programmable IR app that has the same functionality of one of those expensive Logitech models.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
The development scene for Samsung phones has been huge and vibrant. Samsung is nice about keeping things unlocked and releasing source code, and while it may take time for AOSP/CM/AOKP ROM's to be fully functional and stable the S4 will have plenty of custom ROM's in its future.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmoore74:
I have no doubt that the S4 will get AOSP/CM/AOKP roms but the OP question was about the sensors. You got temp sensor, IR sensor, hover with finger sensor, and some of the camera tweaks. I don't think those Roms will have the sensor fully functionals. That's the issue I have right now on my Note 2. I love the cleanness of a stock Android Rom but I miss it when a note automatically pops up when the s-pen is removed. And battery life on touchwiz Roms appear to be better. These are choices we're going to have to make.

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I am looking to run stock android jelly bean on my next device.

I had a nexus s for my first android phone and I took it for granted how amazingly easy it was to flash not only roms but radios, kernels, basically anything. And I just love stock android.

I am now on an HTC rezound. While I do like it, I sorely miss stock android and flashing away at will. Already had quite a few flashing mishaps.

If I am forced to run touchwiz to use all these new features, then I'm not going to pay attention to the features when choosing my next device.

This wouldn't even be an issue if the LG nexus was released on Verizon.

Most experienced developers are leaving Samsung for manufacturers that don't treat them like **** (see the Superbrick fiasco), leaving only the "me-too" smali-hack-kangs and a very small number of experienced competent developers like Andrei.

Quality, not quantity - most of the stuff in the I9100 and I9300 forums is crap, people who took a Touchwizz base, themed it, made some build.prop hacks, and called it a whole new firmware package. They're lucky in that Touchwizz is so bad that it's easy to improve upon it.

Compare to, for example, the Xperia T where there are 5-10 or more developers all contributing as a team to something that only has two threads (One for CM10, one for CM10.1) There aren't many people working with Sony stock firmwares because, honestly, it's REALLY hard to improve upon them because they're so good to begin with. Most of the few things that can be improved are achievable with simple TiBu freezes, no smali hacking required.

I think it'll make AOSP (CM/AOKP) hard to develop but there super people! I'm sure they'll figure it out and help!

Only for developers that want to wipe Samsung off the phone. Which I don't understand since most of the new hardware features require drivers Samsung rightfully will not release. For the longest time and to this day you could not get the FM radio to work on CM without buying a $10 Spirit radio app.

I'm sure there will be plenty of developers that will develop deoxed custom ROMs and great kernels with tweaks OCing etc. . Omega already to jump in. The only custom ROM's I've ever used were that of STOCK ROM development where features could be enhanced and drivers would not be a problem. CM always seems to have something missing or not working.

Why buy a Samsung device and then wipe it clean of all the great features? Just buy a Nexus 4

That said. I don't mind running an ASOP ROM on my Nexus 7 I will be glad to get rid of when Samsung releases the 6.5" Note 3.

For many a stock base is good enough with a custom launcher. This is a very very small community. I know at least 12 people with an S 3and 6 with Notes. None of them even want their phones rooted.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
I think GS4 & Note3 development will be pretty similar to GS2, Note, GS3 and Note2.

AFAIK, for example, the AOSP based ROMs don't really support the S-Pen on the Notes, but that's more app specific.

Cameras have long been, and will likely continue to be a problem. Video capture rates may be lower, features like both cameras, sound in pictures, smart scroll may not be supportable.

As always, for stock features, there will be stock based ROMs. Take your choice, features or AOSP based.

As with all the other Galaxy S class devices, there will be two main variants: International Exynos Octa & US/LTE/Qualcomm. ROMs, XDA forum sections and many issues will be different for each.

I predict that many ROM devs will continue to complain about the lack of Exynos info and source code. But they will develop, as best they can. I'd like to see Samsung open up more, Sony and Qualcomm are better at open-ness.

And there will be at least one other group for the Qualcomm variants; I'd hope the US carrier variants will all be able to run the same ROMs, but previous experience is different I guess.

1st post of my thread has links to free versions, as well as free alphas of Spirit2, with digital audio features for Galaxy S class devices.

I hope the proposed Android FM API will see success and provide more options.

The the ir blaster won't work km cm or aosp as it doesn't work on the note 10.1...Only touch wiz.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
The Exynos Octa is going to be an absolute deal breaker in terms of full AOSP support. The core architecture with it's firmware controlled CPU handover is where the problems will lie. No way are Samsung going to release the relevant documentation given their history and the unique capabilities of this SOC. While AOSP code will ultimately make it onto the device, expect a broken implementation of it.

Still. I never fully understood the major hate towards Samsung in regards to AOSP ROMs. Never have Samsung advertised the Galaxy S range as AOSP devices or AOSP friendly devices. You are ultimately hacking the device beyond it's advertised capabilities. You should be thankful they don't force you to legally sign away your warranty like HTC/Sony just so you can flash a ROM. I loved my S2, but ultimately missed the AOSP experience I had on my Nexus One and returned to Nexus range in the way of the Galaxy Nexus, a Samsung device, advertised and promoted as an AOSP device.

AW: Difficult to develop for GS4?

For my part i think that devs will also Support the S4 with a lot of fine stuff. But as mentioned before Samsungs open source polity ends before all the Exynos Stuff. They broke every promise they make in this direction. So Custom Roms like CM will never support everything since Samsung did provide all the needed Infos about the Exynos Devices.

Because they are right now, before the official release min. two diff. models (I think there will also be a bunch of Provider based models also) its hard to say which one is most spreaded and will get the most support by the devs community. I guess it will not be the Exynos devices (they are delayed to Autumn).
