I agree. Ever since 4.3 I've had nothing but problems with Tether. Sense 5.0 versions work better than Sense 5.5 versions (well maybe).

But when I REALLY need reliable tether I use my wifes EVO 3D using WIFI Tether for root users. Rock solid.

One thing to get it working, another to get it working reliable and fast, while in a moving car.

I tried Sense 5.0 V1.2 and it FC'd on all sorts of stuff (dirty flashed). Don't know why, might try again or clean. Sense 5.0 V1.1 or Sense 5.5 V1.2 would dirty flash fine.

So I decided to try running Sense 5.5 V1.2

I've never found Native Tether to EVER work as well as WIFI Tether for root users. It's always proven itself time and time again over Native.

I'm not sure if Sense 5.0 V1.1 native tether is better, but Sense 5.5 V1.2 ran WAY worse than my wifes EVO 3D. It was bouncing like a yoyo.

Click a web link, fine, click another, page not found, refresh ok, click another link page not found. It was a mess. Signal looked fine by the 3G symbol kept coming and going with a steady 5 bar signal. And the signal is now the data strength.

WIFI Tether for root users won't run at all on 4.3. I had it once but can't seem to do it again. And even then it wasn't great and had to run Adhoc mode.

I don't think I can run a 4.1.2 ROM with the new firmware. And I wouldn't dare try rolling firmware back.

If the fellow above is toggling back and forth between 4.1.2 ROM and 4.3 he must be only the old firmware I believe?

I think you can run 4.3 ROM on old firmware but new 4.1.2 ROM blows up installed on new firmware (or perhaps it was only a nand restore isn't compatible between the two firmwares).

I might just try a 4.1.2 ROM again. I miss the tether stability which is critical feature when I need it.

It just happened my stress test for tether was last night on a 120 mile trip while my wife drove and I had to get critical work done and I was running Sense 5.5 V1.2, I gave up and switched to my wifes EVO 3G. I'd have to test Sense 5.0 V1.1 on the road to really know how robust it is. Like I said, Native hotspot has NEVER been as good as Wifi Tether.

I think WIFI Tether rides through glitches on the network much better than Native HotSpot. It behaves like one seamless session.

By the way I'm not blaming O.M.J. or Benny on anything. I think each release from Sprint/HTC they keep putting up road blocks to try and prevent it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
Native tether is flawless here on 5.5
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] evertec:
After thinking about it, the only thing I can think of why some people can tether well and others can't is the fact that I removed the Sprint proxy in epst to get apps like plex to work. For those who are also having hotspot problems, did you also remove the sprint proxy?

Does anyone know where I can get a compatible musicbox app for bad boyz 4.3 sense 5.0? Everyone one I find is for 4.4 roms.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Yes Sir me 2
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] richardrk:
Anyone else experiencing this issue. On the newest 5.5 rom. When I go to change my text ringtone it'll change under "Notifications" in settings. But it'll still play the default sound which I think is called "Lime" for text messages. But when I ho into the text message settings to try and change the default tone it force closes. Any help would be greatly appreciated as its the little things that are annoying.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ejdavis72:
Any benefit to flashing the 5.0 1.2 over my 1.1 other than myHub? I know it said that it's based on the RUU but does it make it work better somehow?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
I just realized when I was on the road last time tethering and Sense 5.5 V1.2 Hot Spot didn't work well, I had 4GLTE enabled. That may have been the problem. Going in and out of 4G is a rather traumatic event on these phones.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Is there a fix for the "sim card missing" error that randomly pops up in the notification bar? It's not specific to this rom, but I do get tired of having to reboot to get rid of the message. Is there a way to put an end to it?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lanewhit:
PSA for those of you that MAY have trouble with the 5.5 version like I did initially, here's what I did. I did a complete wipe and installed BadBoyz version 5.0. I set everything up- all email accounts, facebook, updated profile etc... So, I got it all 100%. I then made a back up and dirty flashed 5.5. Been running for two days flawlessly. Everything works- hotspot, prl change on the fly, update profile and prl, I flashed music box and killjoy, played with all of the themes in MyHub- all running awesome!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
That is what I did as well.

Zero issues flashing 5.5 over 5.0.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Jaytronics95:
I believe the 3G/4G switching may be part of my problem. I live in Corpus Christi TX where 4G LTE has just come on line but is very spotty around town. Hopefully Sprint will continue to upgrade towers and provide good 4G LTE service.

Turning off 4G is not an option for me, I need the increased bandwidth.

People that have reported that Hotspot is working great, please report your 4G LTE status, like no 4GLTE in my town, or great 4G LTE where I use Hotspot, or phone set to CDMA only (4G TE turned off).

Sometimes when I get the "Page can not be displayed" message, I press the diagnose connection problems button in Windows 8.1 and the troubleshooter says the DNS server is the problem. I have read that the Hotspot hack changes some of the parameters associated with the router function. Are all of the 4.3 ROMs using the same Hotspot hack? If so, maybe the parameters could be set to more gracefully handle 3G/ 4G LTE switching. Just a thought.

I really like BadBoyz 5.5 ROM O.M.J. has done a super job, but I need reliable 4G LTE tethering.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] F22loader:
I've seen a post describing this same problem but I didn't see a fix.

I'm on 5.5 V1.2, clean install. Mail app is gone. Not listed under Apps.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] richardrk:
For me the Mail application is there but force closes when I try to open it. And I setup my Sprint work email on that so I'm stuck on 5.0 till this gets sorted out. :/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smoothrob:
I cannot get the Visual Voicemail app to install. Anyone else have this issue? I was surprised when it wasn't there in the first place
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
Pretty sure it was on mine.

Have to root this new device and flash it again..

Or I guess I could just go look in the zip. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] acme64:
Updated SU from the play store and now when I launch it, it says the binary isn't installed and it can't install it. Can i just download the one from the site and flash it?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrkniceguy:
Do you still have root?

sent from my HTC One
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] acme64:
Honestly I don't know. I downloaded the am I rooted app, it said I was but missing su binaries. But titanium backup says I'm not
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smoothrob:
I had lost my root too after I fixed some other errors with firmware. I had to install a custom recovery again and I installed the latest UpdateSuperuserSu from Chain fire and I'm back.. So, if you still have recovery I'd just install the .zip on the root of your phone and goto recovery and reflash it. I seen it on another thread about the update not working also.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrkniceguy:
Titanium is how I check so you should at least still be rooted. But if the app doesn't let you reboot into recovery and flash the binary that way Smoothrob has the right steps below. If your recovery is still working you can skip that step.

This update worked for me but I had to run this same scenario two updates back. It happens. Good info.

sent from my HTC One
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] acme64:
that worked, thanks guys. I'm assuming the update to SU broke it?i won't be updating it again for a while

3g issue

Hello, since I installed this latest Rom I got my 3g icon bouncing, goes and go back several times, I flashed the latest radio and the problem keeps on, does any one resolve it?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Sorry bud i use this ROM all the time and never have any issues. Now i know for sure that Sprint has been doing a lot of work on there towers and I've been having ****ty ass service at home and am constantly roaming back and fourth but i work ten minutes away and my service is rock solid there go figure lol!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
Mine did the same before lte kicked in.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
I guess that's what j was trying to say. I had lte here at home then all of a sudden it's gone to crap for the last couple of weeks and I called Sprint and they said they were working on the towers and that it should be good within a week. Will see it's been about a week now since then and it's still the same. Going on a month now like this crazy. Sometimes I don't even get calls here and my txt fails to but at work perfect no problems go figure and great lte there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
It was about three months or more here with service like that.

I had strong 3g then crap service.

Now I have very nice lte.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Bairdog35:
This is also happening in my home, been for about a week or two... It's really irrating haha I hate that stupid notification. All I have to say is I better get LTE from this tower in the future or I will be so Pissed.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] matthew0776:
I had the same prob with mail app... It would jus fc /not open when I pressed it... So I rewiped and reinstalled but I set up email during initial set up of device instead of afterwards in app.... and it worked...

That is sexy.

I need that for my blue HTC ONE. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
First & foremost, please welcome chas123 to the BadBoyz team, he brings alot of good skills!

this issue is being worked on...I have narrowed it down to MNS\default.xml....in sense 5.5 some of the formats are different, causing this issue

if you're not having any issues, don't worry about it, there'll be a update w/ the new OTA

I've heard this is fixed w/ the new OTA....we'll see

yep, this method works well

this issue is related to the message FC issue...will get fixed soon...but, if u setup a account via settings/accounts, mail works fine

which ROM? sense 5.0 v1.2 initially had VVM missing but that's been fixed

I had this same issue when supersu updated to 1.75 but the latest is good
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
Welcome Chas. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
Fantastic. Thanks for the news. I hope it's true as it can be an annoyance.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lanewhit:
+1. He has been a great help to me in another thread. Once I get my new HTC One from Sprint I'll be back here. Hopefully this new phone will work.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
You know whats weird mine would just close before it would open and i just went back into setup and did it there and it worked funny. Then i went back into setup and deleted the account and tried to open the mail app again and then it would just fc or should i say just close because i didn't get an fc.

Ok so I'm just the tester for team anonymous. But the boys have some insane stuff to be released well.... Soon. Perfection takes a while and they won't settle for less! It's all being done for this rom, so keep your eyes peeled. I couldn't help but share lol!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Looks nice but are they a part of the bad boyz team or just using there ROM and themeing it? Just curious! Damn sweet for sure!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darealboot:
Just theming it. This rom is the most stable and fluent out there. Why waste a beautiful theme on a rom with a bunch of bugs? This rom the perfect amount of tweaks and now even ota support. I couldn't be happier as a user.... Well with the exception of my one blown speaker... That's a whole other can of worms! Smdh
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:

How do you uninstall themed clock?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Talal916:
Is there a way to do a SIM Unlock on this rom? The SIM unlock tool doesn't recognize it as a Sense-Based ROM or it doesn't have the necessary files. I'd appreciate a quick reply as I'm leaving the country in 7 hours. Thanks! Happy Holidays!

lol, Pneuma he needs to hurry & release b4 kitkat is out & he has to start over, lol

I'll add a stock version to myHUB right after this post

I'm guessing I'm too late....you need to do it the manual, dont user viperboys app

seems to be workin good for me :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Did you update your firmware as well OMJ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jac1599:
Just flashed it. Tired of trying to get the stock ROM to do the things I want it to do. Thank you VERY much. Been 5 minutes and I LOVE it!!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] acme64:
Last time my MMS crapped out i re-provisioned and updated my prl/profile. admittedly that was on a different rom. On this one i can't get it to update the profile or PRL via 3g or wifi
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
I've only updated the radio so far, but I'll probably flash the modified firmware as soon as I have time....busy busy

which ROM? I know the prl & profile updates work on both roms

I was using CleanROM. Not even sure when MMS died, maybe after i did the 1.2 update?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jac1599:
Just wanted to say thanks again for this incredible ROM. You have made my HTC experience much better. I am interested to see my improved battery life throughout the day. At my office, I have incredibly poor reception (Sprint's frequency just can't make it through the walls I suppose). My phone dies very quickly when I am at work because it is constantly dropping signal and searching for signal, etc. Well thanks to your ROM, I can finally set it to roam only when I am at work. Check out my results:

Set to "Automatic"

Set to "Roam Only" (Even though it says "Sprint", in SingalCheck, it says my carrier is US Cellular)

Looks to be very stable so far. I kept getting a crash of Google Search after initial flash, but I got notified that and update was available. After the update installed, no more issues. Love the features and clean look. Thank you!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Drybonz:
I used VVM today... it was working fine for me. I'm on 5.0.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Ok so the new radio does seem to work well for me after all. It's just at home where its killing me. I only work 10 min up the block and its great. It was great at home always but since the last month now my service at home has been horrible.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slickrick54:
Always was for me on this ROM. I think root was referring to ViperOne Rom that was having issues with the vvm app. Correct me if im wrong.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
No. I wasn't having trouble.

It just wasn't installed during Rom flash.

I was running Bad Boys Sense 5 - 1.2.

The upload before the fixes were included.

It was added and a new 1.2 was uploaded.

I was using the first upload at the time.

On Sense 5.5 now.

Hey OMJ, Sprint TV works on Sense 5 but not a fresh 5.5 flash.

Setup Sense 5 and dirty flash 5.5 and Sprint TV still works.

Change The Icons

I had no idea that this "Icon Changer Free" APP even existed but it really makes this ROM look great! I used "HOLO Icons" pack and "Blitz Icon Pack" along with it to achieve this. I recently found "Icon Finder Plus" which is another great APP, they have just about everything.

I figure maybe this will help the lurkers who hate the drab HTC ONE icons as I did. Everything is available in the Google Play Store. :laugh:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
Yeah that's odd, I havnt had troubles at all with it. It's the stock app and hasn't had any mods that should effect it. Hmmm......

not certian what u mean by this if its able to solve my problem i would like to try so can you please explain the process in more detail for me

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

i read thru the forum and cant seem to find the 2 downloads that are supposed to be for the messaging notification crash they arent in the dl section either
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
For the latest ROMs in the Downloads Section you shouldn't need any Wifi tether Fix, it's built in.

If you applied any patches, I'd reflash the same ROM (dirty) and it should put things back right. No need to wipe.

Note: The Application "Wifi Tether for Root Users" will not work on any 4.3 ROM that I know of for this phone. It last worked on 4.1.2 ROMs.

On 4.3 ROMs "Wifi Tether for Root Users" will report "Started with errors" in Adhoc mode and hang in infrastructure mode.

Only the Built-in WIFI Tethering Works (sometimes called "HotSpot", but it's the same as Tethering).

To enable go to Settings -> More -> Mobile Network Sharing

It should be obvious once you get there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Thanks.. I figured that out after I posted....

Was having serious connection issues with Hotspot. Turned out to be the new modem. I flashed back to the previous one and everything is working great (including faster LTE connections).

Looks like the new modem is garbage.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
Modem? As in your Cable Modem? Sprint AIRAVE?

Or are you taking about firmware in the phone, there might be a Modem module? If so, what versions are you referring too?

Sorry for getting back to you so late but what i meant was when i use to go to the settings in the messaging app it use to fc until i used titanium backup to delete the data and ever since it has been great with no fc anymore. Maybe you can just try that and see if it works if not maybe a dirty flash will fix it.
