I have dirty flashed over stable 1, and have no Wi-Fi issues. Should I still flash this?

Is there any fix to video recording not working issue (I am still looking for this.).

I haven't seen any video recording issue mentioned in the OP...

I am going to give this phone in next few days, and I didn't have much time left for this small fellow ☺ to follow this topic, so I'm sorry if I ask something answered a couple of pages back. I'm in a hurry and don't have much time...

Why don't you use cloud storage like drive or copy.com ?

If you want I can send you a link for copy.com and you will get 5 GB extra, what would be 20 GB all together. Copy has apps for everything, from Linux, android to Mac and iOS, and is supposedly encrypted. Octo ROM guys (AOSP ROM for all variants bof S4.) are using it too ☺.

After Clean Install:

Rom is fast..

Wifi works out of box ( I did not apply wifi fxi)

Camera works ( it take for showing captured pic though)

All Mobile Call works fine.

Thanks [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] for this Rom

Thanks [MENTION=5585671]DeBored[/MENTION] for uploading GAPPS

is it just the sensation xl, or does the phone not play ringtone here too?
[HTC Incredible S] Inferi0r:
Important GAPPS update on january 9: http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2

This is probably with the new Google Play Services apk which really really consumes less battery. All should go for this one .

Has anyone tried the GApps Manager as found on this thread?
[HTC Incredible S] smt8544:
I seem to be getting this error in my logcat very frequently, just wondering if this is an issue?

E/memalloc( 1497): ION_IOC_ALLOC failed with error - Out of memory
W/memalloc( 1497): Falling back to system heap

I also cannot for the life of me seem to get root, I have flashed the SuperSU zip from chainfire's website, and the APK gets installed, however root access is not possible. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] egorlins:
I also flashed latest Update-SuperSu 1.86.zip duting phone flashing

In my case Titanium backup could not have ROOT access.

But phone restart helped me :laugh:

Now all woks ok!
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
Finally flashed Stable #2 and it's working pretty well.

Wifi for me is working without the updated kernel.

Flashed only Gapps Core 1.9 and that SuperSU 1.89 and everything works, except camera video recording(not sure about playback).

Vey smooth launcher, like the options that are included by stock.

Again - thanks for the rom. :)

Video playback is little buggy

Some video stuck and lag

I guess there is chance of improvement.

[HTC Incredible S] gavraz:
Can someone explain the whole root process please?

Should I do anything before flushing the rom?

szezso is there a chance you also fix this one? :D
[HTC Incredible S] phonedeamon:
So do we install only gapps core or gapps standard as well?
[HTC Incredible S] quentin2260:
Just flash SuperSU 1.86 in recovery.

Hmm.... without wifi batery drain mach slowly.. but too much.. :/
[HTC Incredible S] seansha:
sleeping dead...
[HTC Incredible S] smt8544:
Seem to be getting a pretty bad battery drain (absolutely no use, the battery is dead in 12 hours). I have noticed that in the battery history graph, it shows that WiFi has been on the entire time although WiFi being off in settings (WiFi hasn't been used since I have rebooted my phone so it is not just a case of it failing to disable). I am using the TESCO 3.5.3 patch.
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Turn off the Search always accesible or something in the WiFi's Advanced settings. :)

Building...
[HTC Incredible S] smt8544:
Hey szezso, this normal? (the memalloc error that is)

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

Nah, just download the gapps standard :)
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
No, it was because of the new kernel setup, and I forgot to update the ion header. It should be okay in this build. :)
[HTC Incredible S] smt8544:
Even the best make mistakes! I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you immensely for continuing development for our aging device! Without you, my phone would simply be a pile of junk!

P. S I haven't applied fix
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
No. Just find the latest one and the one thats about 70-100mb

Or use BAnks version of the GApps. Those are fine. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857.

If you want google dialer, its in PA GApps thread. Just use that and only that. I dont even know if the mini modular pack is small enough. Dont try and use photosphere too. It might break the camera lol

Downloading new ver of rom and GAapps :)
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
my friend asked me why I'd upgrade to kitkat the other day

and i didn't have an answer other than aesthetics (looks)

so just a quick question for people that actually understand it

how does the kitkat update actually improve HTC Inc S? (the Bluetooth improvement? Does that actually work though?)
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Yep, it improved! Kitkat is made for devices with little RAM size, weak CPU, like our Incredible S. The Bluetooth stuff didn't do anything, cause we only have a 2.1 BT chip, so that's not a big deal. Only the performance, and the cheap device support makes the 4.4 useful on the IncS. :)

This is the first Android version which is really for the IncS's HW till the ICS.

[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
There is the possibility that the WiFi won't work with dirty flash. If it works, then you're a lucky guy, if not, then you need a clean install. :)

Audio issue

i have flashed stable 2 but i am getting audio issue ..nothing related to audio is working loudspeaker ear phones ,cant hear calls...and i am on ART... is that a problem ? wifi is working fine..& what's improvements in stable 2.1 ?
[HTC Incredible S] mafie:
ART is still a WIP, would suggest to use Dalvik and check for bugs.. that's more preferred for our device. :) .. and what improvement in stable 2.1 .. Szezso has already given tat few posts back..
[HTC Incredible S] kuroro:
Installed after full wipe, wifi status is not so stable... stucked at "turning on" quite often...

any temporary solutions?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I can't imagine, what's happening here... :o For me, the WiFi works out-of-the-box, and it's also as stable, as it should... Who has issues with WiFi, a logcat would be good! :)
[HTC Incredible S] technoid1964:
I just did a full wipe and installed stable 2.1, WiFi stable for me... Did not flash WiFi fix or anything... Is it possible people are running TKIP vs AES on their router which has been know to cause issues?
[HTC Incredible S] Sandeep_Jagtap:
my observation stable #2.1

Hi

I tried stable # 2.1 yesterday.

my observation so far

1. Boots

2. Faster than 2.0 (really slick)

3. WiFi working fine out of box

4. Root Access after installing updated super su

5. Camera is working

6. Sadly could not test video playback

7. Everything was working fine until I installed titanium backup and started restoring back-up.After restoring backups

Mobile started Random reboots this time its very frequent I had to revert to stable 2.0 in which reboots are not frequent but its there

I restored Gmail,Youtube,Google+. Is it good to restore Google apps ?

It seems something related to WiFi is running behind the seen and causing device in infinite loop or something. Just Speculation
[HTC Incredible S] kuroro:
In my case, switch wifi between off & on ( for battary saving ), it got stucked at "turning on" constantly... have to reboot...:mad:
[HTC Incredible S] yurisyi:
is there anyone using ART mode ??

how about with the lastest update??

my experince is very slow in stable 1.....:crying:
[HTC Incredible S] afg984:
I have the WiFi problem too

yeah, and for me it very often freezes in the "Turning on..."

and have to reboot, annoys.(

(same issue [MENTION=5462240]afg984[/MENTION] but randomly freezes):

[MENTION=5462240]afg984[/MENTION], can you confirm this one.?
[HTC Incredible S] achilles08:
installed update...wifi worked out of the box yes there were frequent freezes in during initial setup period and after that for few minutes. There after it did stayed on no issues.
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
emm... no sound when calling.. sound enable and level is max, but no any sound... it only vibrate when calling...
[HTC Incredible S] uprockin:
"Turning on..." for WiFi just happened one time for me.

Also rebooted for one time too. I don't know why. But I was downloading smth. by 3G.

Sound etc. is OK for me.

I couldn't try the video playback.

The others are running well. Thanks ;)

Ah! By the way, I am using overclocked CPU for governor: SMARTASSH3 and Max:1200MHz
[HTC Incredible S] afg984:
It freezes sometimes, and I got random reboots

Forgot to mention, my recovery is 4ext v1.0.0.6 RC1
[HTC Incredible S] yurisyi:
in my case ,

my WIFI will shortly restart ,

in ART mode , I can't install any app

so, now I flash back "CyanVivo X Reborn!" , again!!

Up to now "CyanVivo X Reborn!" ROM , I almost have no question but one app (LINE), others work very good!!!!!!!!!

does recovery make a difference.? [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] what recovery are you using.?
[HTC Incredible S] larkhillv7:
Tried this out on my old incs today. first try, clean install + standard gapps resulting to random reboots rendering the phone unusable. Tried again, clean install + core gapps, WiFi working great, camera working, video playback working.

I left my incs on jb 4.1.2 before, and idk if its just me, this rom kinda slower.

Hell of a great job szezso! Can't believe my incs getting some flashing action again :D
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
I have a feeling that all (ok, most of) our "ROM" problems are from the GApps.

I guess it will be a better choice to flash Core GApps than Standard one.

p.s. switched to TWRP 2.6 (don't think I'll make a difference anyway).

p.p.s. why there is no GApps for CM11 (kk) here.?

wasn't that place the "official" (if can say that) place for "official" GApps for CM-based ROMs.? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
1h35min with enabled wifi lost 10% batery..
[HTC Incredible S] larkhillv7:
Quoting funcrash up there.

Could be, tried multiple clean install + standard gapps, same reboot problems. So far so good with just core gapps :p:beer:
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
there is logcat with bad wifi, no call sound, and some unexpected reboots..

Logcat log 3

Now, clean reinstall without gaaps, wifi works well, and now i have a call sound :D and batery in 45mins lost 2%

PS. [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] can you disable GPRS/3G disable in default settings? after i install rom by defoult its connecting to gprs/3g, but in my case when its conneted i pay 0,5 euro :(
[HTC Incredible S] sabret00the:
Can 2.1 be dirty flashed over 2.0? Thought I saw someone else ask, but can't see the post.
[HTC Incredible S] afg984:
Tried core gapps, except it rebooted automatically once, everything went very well

EDIT1: [MENTION=835293]kuroro[/MENTION] This feedback is based on clean install + core gapps
[HTC Incredible S] kuroro:
After reinstalled stable2.1, with full wipe of course, wifi works flawlessly this time!!

Then I start to looking for differences between two cases...

First, it's the gapp's version between STANDARD and CORE.

Second, it's the restored wifi Setting by Ti-backup. Wifi got the "turning on" issue when I restored Setting from ICS (svhd), but it works pretty good when restored from kitkat itself (stable2) !

So I think maybe, maybe the wifi issue has something to do with the edition of the wifi data...
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Maybe with this! :)

[HTC Incredible S] Aerotinge:
Hi Szezso,it seems that the new wifi driver from Mako making my wifi drops randomly.

Is this issue can be fixed by applying tweaks in the future, or we just go back to the previous driver,as it works flawlessly in #1?

And Thanks for your presto update. The #2 only stan around 20 hours in my Vivo. XD

For who asking possibility of a Dirty Flash: ja! Just flash it. It works like a charm.

But always do backup first.

@ szezso

Thanks for stable 2.1 !

I have one question about to flash new kernel with S-ON phone :

Should I just flash TESCO ION 3.5.4 in recovery

or

Should I change location (tmp > SDcard) in mkbootimg.sh file and flash newboot.img via fastboot ?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
This should work on S-ON device too. :)
[HTC Incredible S] quentin2260:
Flashing ZIP without flashing newboot ?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Just flash this zip from recovery, you don't need anything else, I hope.
[HTC Incredible S] uprockin:
Using this ROM from yesterday night.

I had two deep sleeps and restarts after that. Once happened while downloading something. And the second was happened after pressing the "listen button of Soundhound".

I just flashed the "TESCO ION 3.5.4" for wifi issues, and the wifi is completely gone now. (My IncS is S-ON)

But I have to say that, the interface is incredibly super buttery! And never glitches ever!

Great job [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]. Thanks for all your labors.

Okay. I wanna ask something. Please everybody wipe everything, flash the STABLE 2.1, then TESCO 3.5.4, then please check the WiFi!
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
Now exactly that config i have :) i only installed gaaps core and gaaps standart 1-11

After two times enable then disable wifi stack on "turning on" and no call sound... and then stack on incomming call... and that errors appeared after gaaps install...
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
How can that happen? I have no problem with WiFi, 2.1 + 3.5.4... :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
before instal gaaps core and standart wifi works fine, 10-15min ago i installed gaaps and wuala, now i have a new errors :D

Emm maybe you know any good log solution for writing logs from boot to full load

have you tried only Core.?

can you try download and mirror GApps provided by this app.? (or someone)
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
Now, i installed a clean install without kernel patch, and booting up without gaaps, test wifi, call sound and then i will try install gaaps core only :)

First startup: nfortunately process android.process.acore has stoped..

but

wifi works (turned on then off ~10 times)

Have a call sound..

no laggy

after one reboot.. no changes, wifi works wery well without patch.. but i try install patch and gaaps core now..
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
ok, I guess you could flash 3.5.4 ('coz it wasn't only WiFi modifications)

can you try GApps provided by GApps Manager.

(I have a bad iConnection, can not download them);
[HTC Incredible S] DeBored:
here i vahe ~2mbit ethernet 3g modem speed :D and limited data trafic per month :D

P.s

after install gaaps core wifi is broken and phone name now is LaggyPhone :D

my resolution:

phone work well before install gaaps (core or standart no difference) need try install gaaps older ver, in my case phone works good with 12-14 standart...
[HTC Incredible S] Inferi0r:
This is my test:

Started: 4EXT Recovery 1.6.0.0 RC1

1) Full Wiped everything except SD-card

2) Installed Vivokat_STABLE_#2.1_#01.13.zip

3) Installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip

4) Installed 1-11_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed.zip

Booted into ROM (takes a minute or 2)

1) Opened SuperSU. Worked directly from first boot, no restarts, without changing any setting anywhere (that's the first time!)

2) Opened WiFi settings. Saw all networks, picked my home network with almost no signal cause the distance, entered details. Saw it flashing a few times on and off. But directly after that it worked flawless.

3) Opened Play Store, entered personal details, installed some app. All OKE.

Randoms reboots not entcountered so far. No restarts at all. This was a problem for me in all beta's and stable 1.

WiFi flawless, Also with screen off it stays alive.

Root with SuperSU works perfect. Still had to untick: respect CM settings in SuperSU app to get root popup for any app requiring root. But we know that already.

Camera back: All fine.

Camera front: All fine. But with camera crash: switch to front camera and after that switch to video mode. Always crashing the camera app.

Video Camera: Working, but do not touch take-a-video-button, Nothing happens.

Youtube: video+sound is playing full screen, also in portrait mode.

Bluetooth: searched, paired and connected with my phone+audio headset. Played a Youtube video through my headset. All great.

TitaniumBackupPro not tried this time, I suspect it for generating random reboots after restoring settings/apps.

Video playback. Copied a .mp4 file from pc to sdcard. Video taken with my HTC One S. Video plays but stuttering heavily in standard gallery app. Sound is oke.

And........ after that last test, the video playback. WiFi is broken?! It's disconnected. After turning on and off I can't turn it on anymore. Restarted. And yes Wifi is on and working again without doing anything.

Video playback: installed MX player. Exactly same stuttering as with default gallery app if playing .mp4 file of other HTC.

Will test for battery usage and wakelocks this night and maybe after that with Tesco 3.5.4 if no new fixes come out. Now I'm going to sleep with WiFi/GPS on, Bluetooth off and no sim-card inserted. 66% battery now. Let's see tomorrow morning.

One note: I've no SIM card inserted at all times, because this is my second phone. So maybe everything that has to do with simcard and phone connections makes the difference for others.
[HTC Incredible S] kuroro:
Got 50% of battary lost overnight though :mad:, but WIFI works flawless since I reinstalled !! :p

And just flashed kernel 3.5.4, so far so good. :good:

As I said before, I thought the "turning on" issue may related to the Gapps OR the Wifi data restored from TitaniumBackup, according to the differences between my two installations.

Since most of you never mentioned using TitaniumBackup, so I think choosing the CORE-GAPPS maybe the right solution for now. :highfive:
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
It's not an issue of GApps (or I SERIOUSLY doubt it). A lot of people use BAnks version of standard or core apps perfectly fine. All the GApps do is load Play Store, Location services, and libs for syncing. Maybe some other Google Apps like Google+, Hangouts, GEL etc.

What does battery usage say? (and please don't tell me what you guys have after flashing it at night and waking up in the morning)
