Hello

I'm about to install this rom, by the way I never installed a Rom before in HTC one, so my question is when I wipe in twrp, do I select internal storage as well?

Because I want my phone to look like stock as I have many folders that wasn't there before when I bought the phone.

But by wiping internal storage, do I lose my backup, root, and trwp?

Also wouldn't I also lose the viperone rom zip?

Sorry for the moon question.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JONBOY345:
This is my active device, the other one is SIM Unlocked as well but doesn't have this issue....

I just updated the "Sheldon mobile" device's prl, still not cooperating though... Other than the HBOOT edit to return the s-off flag back to s-on and a custom banner on boot, no...

Could that be the problem??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
The Rom is rooted, no worries there. No you won't lose recovery, YES you will lose backups. OTHER than that, I think it's fine to wipe internal. I'm using twrp 5.0 and what I do is select advanced wipe and check the first 4 boxes, system data cache and dalvik. If you want to erase internal then I would swipe for factory reset first on the first wipe page where you have the advanced button, then do the rest.

STEVE! ! ! LOL. Idk, man. Weird. I have the hexed hboot to remove flags and red text but that's it. No custom splash or anything.

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ksarius:
Thank you.

By wiping system isn't that like wiping everything on the phone? Including internal storage?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Btw, the other, and possibly safer, option if you're not comfortable is to just delete folders from storage manually. This will leave root stuff intact (/system etc). Then you can do the usual wipe system, data, and caches and all necessary folders will be built when you install the rom.

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DNarsingh:
From the sounds of it, I feel as though the SIM has something to do with it. Have you popped out the SIM to have a look at it? Also, undoing the SIM unlock might be a place to start to try to resolve this issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
No. Wiping system wipes everything in /system as far as I know. Maybe other stuff in root dir. I'm not completely clear on that, but it definitely didn't wipe storage. Storage is treated as if it was an sd card BASICALLY (it doesn't mount like an sd the way it did on the evo lte so it's not quite the same) but I've wiped and flashed enough to tell you it won't wipe storage.

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JONBOY345:
Sim card looks fine...

How would I re-lock the sim card?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Anyone know why storage shows redundant in a browser? As in, storage and sdcard? I'm sure it's (don't know what it's called) I'm going to call them "shortcut folders". What I don't get is why? If it's all one piece of memory. Is it simply because one is two folders deep and the other is the "shortcut"?

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DNarsingh:
Unfortunately I have no idea where to even begin with that, lol. You will have to find help from someone more knowledgeable than I.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrlakadaddy:
Do not wipe internal storage!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Could you elaborate? Why not?

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Don't lookit me, I got no idea.

Wiping /system wipes the ROM and ONLY the ROM. That's where it lives...nothing in /.

Best bet is to wipe using my superwipe script, it'll nuke everything but internal.

Why? because everything's there...music, videos, pictures...everything. Don't wipe internal EVER until you have a backup on your desktop.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
What if that's what you want? I got the impression that that was the goal. Say you back everything up or have nothing of importance on it. Is it going to hurt anything?

Edit: also, where exactly does the rom live? Nowhere within the root directory? There's a higher path? Separate partition? How does that work exactly?

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JONBOY345:
RUU didn't fix it either...

****.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Sure if you want it all gone.. But then you're going to have to use adb to push the rom you want to flash to the phone since it won't be there to flash anymore. ;)

The entire rom lives in /system. Most of what's in the root directory is a symbolic link to /system. Wiping /system effectively deletes the entire rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Thats more like it bro. Just sort of sounded like you were being sarcstic! :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Right. Forgot about the rom sitting in storage lol. I wiped internal on my evo and was ok but.....Yea. sd card :). So the rom is in /system. I misread. I thought when you said it didn't wipe anything in / that included /system. Not reading slowly enough I guess. I was confused because /system is essentially identical to what's in the rom zip. Got it. Thanks. Not only no xda before coffee but maybe no xda after midnight :D.

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)

Oh yea not the rom at all then. I'm feeling the sim suggestion. Something to do with some radio or activation or SOMETHING. It's like it's omitting options based on what it sees for hardware or firmware or.... Whatever it's looking for. Good thing it's your advice phone huh? I'm thinkin it's time for a Sprint visit.

Thank me if I said something useful for a change. (I'm hung up on social status)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Storage is not redundant in a File Browser. I use ES and what it shows if you look very closely is storage and then SD Card with a shortcut symbol on it. One of the folders is just a shortcut.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
So pretty much what I said. I use es but fx most of the time and fx doesn't show anything indicating it's a shortcut. I presume it's just for quick access because the true path is a folder deeper. Nothing more than that?

This reminded me to bring up something I've been having issues with.

I set my browser to Desktop, Allow Flash, FLash Always on, Display GIFs, and Javascript On.

I've noticed the stock Sense browser in Sense 5 is really slow. The Sense 4.1 browser on my EVO 3D was pretty quick. I've had the same thing on viperROM and Sense w/ Goodies. Anyone else noticed the slowness of the Sense browser?

[MENTION=518868]-viperboy-[/MENTION] is there a Way to enable a diff language on the keyboard settings?? I'm Hispanic and use Spanish with some of my ppl...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Marc5000:
What exactly does dirty flashing the ROM do? My camera started acting a little funny (seeing red'ish squares especially in low light and it does it on the front camera too), also TiBu doesn't do the auto-backups anymore that are scheduled. No idea what happened. I didn't do any mods that I'm aware of. So my options now are to get the phone replaced by Sprint, which they probably won't like that it's ROMed (I work for Sprint but a chargeback would kinda suck after it gets mailed out), or hopefully fix it myself somehow if it's software related which I think it is. Should a dirty flash fix this without losing anything I have on the phone?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drkcreator:
Dirty flash if not mistaken is just installing the Rom ontop of previous Rom with out clearing the caches I think!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Yes, but I still recommend wiping caches, and only rarely recommend dirty flashing. :) But if you're just trying to get your kernel back after an upgrade, or maybe a mod messed up your status bar, a dirty flash with cache wipes is the easy way to go.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drkcreator:
So any way on changing the keyboard settings downloaded a diff keyboard and can't choose it under settings
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Marc5000:
So should I only wipe cache and not dirty flash? I also forgot to mention that some text messages (usually picture mail) I send don't appear in the text thread even though they are received. Whats your suggestion? I haven't touched kernels. Only thing I've done was flashed a sweet glass digital clock, themed keyboard and dialer pad, but that was a very long time ago. :D
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
I phrased that poorly. If you are going to do a dirty flash, DO wipe caches, DON'T wipe anything else. :)

My suggestion for when you start having odd problems that don't seem to make sense is a full wipe and reflash. That typically fixes anything broken.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Marc5000:
Cool, I'll stop being lazy and do some manual backups on TiBu then do a full wipe using your awesome wipe thingy and reflash.

Thanks for the help and quick replies! I hope this fixes it!

Is anyone having issues with streaming applications YouTube, Pandora, iheartradio, slacker radio are the ones I'm having issues with. It only happens when I use 4g works perfectly with wifi. I have strong 4g signal too. Tried uninstall ING and reinstalling didn't work tho. Any suggestions?

AdBlock Host Files

Does anyone know how to remove the adblock host files from this ROM? Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I see that you can enable it or disable it through viper control but does it automatically update itself with new hosts or are you just stuck with what hosts it blocks already and thats it?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Returns it to stock. And no it doesn't update. I recommend ad block if you need one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] affliction:
just a though but it could also have to do with the fact this rom is so out of date the last update was like 6 months ago maybe why there is a problem but I could b wrong
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
I have no problems but haven't tried on 4g. Just because you have strong 4g signal does not mean you get good data speeds from your tower. Judging by the state of sprints current 4g network, you could even be getting better data on 3g right now where you are. Perhaps it's as simple as that. Ridiculous I know but it's a possibility.

I very much doubt that. There's nothing about the rom that would make whatever the latest version of those apps are, incompatible. If anything, apps need to be updated to support a newer android version. Not that that's the case here. Obviously we're a couple steps behind in that respect.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Thanks Steve I appreciate it buddy! Glad to see your still around even after the move to T-Mobile. Wish I could make that move as well but I can't just renewed my contract to get the One. Even though I get awesome LTE speeds over here in Tampa fl.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XCrunner23:
Really? I just moved to South Carolina from Tampa after living there for 12 years. Really miss it! guess ill have to swing by for a visit to use the 4g!:laugh:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
I just go into Viper Control and disable ADblock as has been mentioned. All those streaming apps are perfect for me on 3g, 4g, or wifi.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Definitely should man. I'm getting really good speeds now finally. Even though 3g still sucks b.... The LTE is great.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] integra3g:
I can +1 you on this comment. I randomly do speedtest.net tests to see what kind of 4g I am getting at different locations and they tend to start out fast when first turned on. Then they get slower than 3g, then you see problems with the 4g cutting in and out and getting stuck (this happened to me the other day and is most likely due to an upgrade), and then it is much faster once they finish. This is just what I have seen from my home and work areas.

In other words, try not to let 4g data issues get you down until all the upgrades are done with.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drkcreator:
+1 on ur comment I have a strong signal for 4g @my house and it keeps on disconnecting its as simple as it could get .... Sprint great prices..data not that great... Get better speed when on CDMA only
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zxurian:
Thanks for the updates. Was pretty sure that it wasn't just me, but glad (and sucks) that other people are experiencing the same issues.

I guess I'll look for that data cycling app, and maybe see if I can combine it with Tasker to automatically cycle it whenever the phone leaves a roaming state.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
The speeds and data is fine. The real issue is LTE on 1900mhz. The higher bands don't penetrate and travel as far as lower mhz bands. Verizon and AT&T have rolled out thier LTE on 700mhz which has better penetration and travel than 1900mhz and due to thier agressive build out (Cause they have the resources) and larger footprint (because they are #1 and #2) thier LTE is more ubiquitous.

Sprint evidently does not have much spectrum holding in the lower ends except for the old Nextel 800mhz system. That is why they shut it down and transitioned those people to the PCS bands.

If it true that eventually Sprint will move some LTE to 800mhz it will greatly improve the LTE coverage.

Also, the reason your LTE drops alot is because the HTC One on Sprint switches off of LTE at -125db as anywhere below that and the LTE signal is not very useful. Some phones like Samsungs have that cut off at a lower number, like -135 or-145db or more, and therefore hold the signal better although it may not be particullarly useful.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
I recently read that about sprint having narrow spectrum availability

4.3

When its pushed for stock One, can we expect an upgrade to 4.3 base for this? Within 2, 3, 4 weeks of release?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Viper may be working on the venom rom for this phone when official 4.3 tools out but, as has been discussed, he is very busy and we will have to be patient. Also it's sort of taboo around here to ask for eta's.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tycff:
Yeah I know it is; I was just curious if he was planning on it, or not. Also wasn't sure if he was planning on updating the rom at all, just wondering how it was going. Didn't know if I should check the thread 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, etc. Just wanted a very basic time frame, no exact weeks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
I feel you. As far as this particular rom, you might see the base updated down the road but other than that, I'd say it's done. ViperOne ROM with venom tweaks is really, I think, what we're all foaming at the mouth for so idk how much of a priority this ROM will be.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
Well the devs of the international Viper One rom have stated they will support a sprint variant. That is the one with all the tweaks and themes.

Having done college, and working all the way through it, I can't imagine Viper having the time to do all that porting and tweaking.

These are just my thoughts on it, but I think our best bet for a Venom Rom on Sprint will be with those guys. I hope I am wrong, really, but that is just the way I believe it will be. Sadly.

Peace.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Quite correct. I'd say when 4.3 pops it'll be released about the time...it's released. ;)

We don't give time frames because sometimes we miss estimates and then people get all pissed off.

They did work on a Sprint variant for awhile...I helped test it. They never got it fully 100% working (last iteration had everything but camera and some bluetooth stuff working). I broke my stones on it for 2 weeks trying to figure it out and couldn't, at which point the GSM version moved past Sprint on version so there was no point continuing. As for them working on a Sprint version, I don't see it happening without a Sprint dev involved since the GSM and CDMA versions are too different. I assume Viper will work with them once 4.3 drops, but it's going to be a week or so before the GSM version is ready on the new OS, and at least another 3 weeks before the Sprint version could be ported, in my estimation. That's not to say '1 month after 4.3 drops it'll be available on Sprint', that's more to say, 'I don't see it happening BEFORE that time'.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
Well, lets just hope we have a dev on the sprint side that has the time and patience to work with the Venom team to get us hooked up.
