As far as I know the new firmware also changes partitions. For example if I flash old firmware and compatible recovery I still get errors with wiping cache and dalvik or sdcard problems. What I always do when downgrading to 2.15 is simply run the RUU for 4.1.1. I don't do anything else since I'm soff and have super cid and then I'm ready to go. You might try to format in recovery as suggested above, I never tried.
[HTC One S] $droyd$:
I am aware that the root doesn't work so you will need to flash su each time.. As for the other issues I'm not sure what happened.. Some people report bubba working fine and others not so much so I would point towards an incompatibility in the kernel area.. My wife's ville only runs twisted and it runs flawless but I never stray off the stock kernel..

Not totally related, but is the enable battery stats module even necessary for kitkat custom roms? Will apps like gsam work fine for those who don't have it?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
GSAM didn't worked without it for me. I mean not all info was displayed in the app. Try and see for yourself. Install gsam and open it....see what's showing. Then install the Xposed module and run gsam again

Happy user

Hi,

switched to TwistedKat 2.5 yesterday, very happy. Smooth, feature rich, battery friendly.

Great ROM!

Edwin
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Yes I am aware that you are aware, lol. I fixed it. All my issues except for lockscreen targets were due to flashing the wrong firmware zip. I reflashed the unbranded version and now I am booted and running great again. So if anyone complains of not being able to root, and then not being able to boot, and other weird little issues they may have flashed the wrong firmware zip.

Always reverting to standard keyboard...

Hi,

there's one thing that's annoying me: I use SwiftKey as a replacement keyboard, but it won't stick as the default keyboard. It sticks for a while, but then after 30 or 40 minutes (or something like that), I get the standard keyboard again (so this isn't the bug that switches back after an update, it's much more often).

I tried to reinstall SwiftKey, but to no avail.

I'm on TwistedKat 2.5, by the way.

Regards,

Edwin

I use SwiftKey too, but I don't have problems with that.

[HTC One S] oll0:
No problems with that, I'm also on 2.5. Maybe try disabling the AOSP keyboard completely in the app settings
[HTC One S] edwinek:
Aha. I just installed another keyboard to see if that will stick.
[HTC One S] derkleinebroicher:
If you're sure not to need the AOSP keybpard, why don't you simply uninstall it. You can use TB therefore or f. e. a system app remover like this.

If you make a backup of the keyboard before deleting, you risk nothing. I always unistall the default keyboard, as I use another one too and never had any problems.
[HTC One S] edwinek:
My thoughts exactly, tried it half an hour ago: I froze the AOSP keyboard, now things are working fine.

Still, this is the first ROM with which this happened, SwiftKey always worked just fine. On the other hand, this doesn't happen to other replacement keyboards I tried, so it also seems to be something specific to SwiftKey.

Anyway, everything's fine now, so I'll continue rejoicing in this fabulous ROM.

S-OFF/Kernel

hi folks,

might be a little OT:

today I was secretly looking for a reason to go buy the M8, so I randomly decided to S-OFF my ville, which I honestly had no use for, hoping I would brick my phone...lol. Let's put the jokes aside, I used rumrunner and voila, it worked like a charm, here I am, S-OFF.

If anyone of you could spare a minute and let me know which Kernel they are using and why, particularly with TwistedKat (reverted back to 2.3, I just prefer this build). I'd be grateful. I am not looking to enhance the performance of the phone, since I am not even exceeding the capabilities of it. If I was looking for anything it would probably be even less battery drain, and if possible, improving screen-on time.

I'll be thankful for recommendations of any kind!

cheers!
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
Very briefly (as its off-topic) - check out betterbatterystats app and learn about wakelocks.

Twistedkat has a wakelock blocker! Just know what each wakelock does before you block it!

Also check out the possible battery upgrade (think its in the accessories bit of the forum). I recently did this and I'm getting much better battery life.

Also upgrade the radio. I'm on 1.35 now.

This is all on stock kernel. With heavy usage I easily get 24 hours +
[HTC One S] asdfasdfvful:
We only really have two main custom kernels for aosp. Bubba and Ice Code. Both have roughly the same features (multi core saving, sweep to wake, vibration control etc). You should treat yourself to see which one is better as it varies between phones, but for me u like ice code

Edit: I use the Conservative governor. My battery life isn't too great but I use my phone quite extensively

Suggestion: Would it be possible to implement a choice between the current recents and slimrecents? Similarily to how it is done in IOAP... i'd really like to use your new releases, but slimrecents keep making me revert back to build 2.3. Maybe I'm the only one who prefers those .. - in any way it is just a suggestion.

Other than that, thank you for the new build - tried it for a few hours and it seems great as usual! Although I would keep using Apex, personally.

Flashed the 2.6 yesterday. Everything is great. I had some issues with swipe up gesture for recent that I used a lot. It's fixed in this version. But the WiFi issue of not being able recognize my home router after a disconnect, continues :( is this a 4.4.2 related issue? Forgive me because I can't seem to keep up with the bug news :( is there any fix? It's really bugging me, every time I need to reconnect I have to reboot the device.. Otherwise it's a lot better and feature rich..
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Man do I feel like an idiot! I been working so much I must have been too tired and missed it. I just now noticed I wasn't even updated to the latest 2.6, that is why I didn't have lockscreen shortcuts fixed lmao. I apologize, I think I backed up 2.5 and let it go for a while and forgot to update and just rebooted and went to sleep lol. I just now updated and lockscreen shortcuts are fixed and the update is awesome! not sure about the new launcher though so I disabled it for a bit, it was forcing the Mi launcher lockscreen even though I didn't choose to use that lockscreen so I renamed it in system/app to MiHome.bak. Other than that the ROM is amazing! Super fast and smooth and loaded with features! I was gonna test CandyKat but I have to put it on the back burner for now! Thanks a bunch for sharing:good:

My HTC One S with twistedkat 2.5 keeps restarting. I see the SIM PIN entering screen several times a day, when checking the phone (taking it out of my pocket).

How can I diagnose what's going on? Are reasons for restarting logged anywhere?

Let's start with exact steps you did to install it.

Is there a "gold star" guide to installing twistedkat anywhere? I mean with all requirements, and all steps necesarry, including gapps, etc.

Then I could perhaps try to make a clean slate install of 2.6 and hope that helps.

Or could it be related to which su is installed (SuperSU), which recovery is installed, etc.?
[HTC One S] foeti:
SU shouldn't affect this. Recovery could be... Which one r u using?

TWRP 2.7.0.0 is recommended

Steps for a correct installation r following:

1. Download ROM.zip, copy to sd and check md5

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Wipe cache&dalvik, system, data at least 3x

4. Install ROM.zip and fastboot boot.IMG

5. Flash gapps (f.e. slimgapps)

6. Flash latest superSU

7. Wipe cache&dalvik just to be sure

8. Reboot
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Only other thing I can add to the above steps is

1.back up SD to computer

2.wipe all SD included 3x

[HTC One S] bobjbain:
Actually I agree with [MENTION=5800613]qabi[/MENTION] your reasoning is flawed and the 3x delete of everything is unnecessary! Normally when you delete a file it just deletes the entry from the FAT leaving the data on the disk (hence it is entirely retrievable), however when you wipe data in TWRP it reformats the partitions, effectively zeroing everything out.......but this is drifting dangerously off topic..

[MENTION=5800613]qabi[/MENTION] next time you get a SIM lock request, drop into a Terminal Emulator and type "uptime", I think this will probably show that your phone hasn't rebooted.

I think the SIM lock request is more likely to be with the data drops that some people are experiencing with CM based ROMs. To see if this is the case toggle Airplane (Aeroplane) mode and see if it asks for your PIN again!!

Thanks, that's a good point.

But it should ask for my PIN again, after being in airplane mode, right? In stock ROM it always did.
