Battery drain... I was at 14% and it dropped to 2% in 3 seconds
[HTC One S] 808phone:
For some strange reason, none of my Google calendars are available. When I try and log into google calendar from SOL calendar, it says that it cannot communicate with google servers. Also, the built in calendar doesn't show any calendars even though I am logged into google as a main account. The ROM looks and feels great.

Also if you enable recent it goes into a loop saying that the ui has crashed.

Confirmed that 4.4.3 (1.50) works correctly. Problem I have is with 1.5.2
[HTC One S] K7Cobb:
So i flashed the 4.4.4 update v1.5.2 and dialer stops working and the process com.android.phones has stopped and my soud has also gone out on my entire phone

edit: im switching to v1.5.0 update: cant download v1.5.0
[HTC One S] 808phone:
1.5.0 seems to be working right now.

This is a good ROM, I am enjoying it more than CM11 at the moment.

Battery life will be a test.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
You must do full wipe including data and download apps from play store since 1.5.0 is 4.4.2 and 1.5 .2 is 4.4.4

Yes, wipe: Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

I believe 1.5.0 is 4.4.3. So you need gapps for 4.4.3.

---- NOTE

The 1.5.0 ROM is so good! It's fast, smooth and seems to be running perfectly! The battery life seems pretty darn good. Will see how it runs tomorrow, but for now it's so much faster and better than CM11.
[HTC One S] K7Cobb:
do i need to flash a new boot.img im on a diff pc and dont have the adb files
[HTC One S] rc420head:
If your s-off no, if s-on then yes flashing the new boot.img is always recommend but if your on a slim or cm based rom that's fairly new it should still boot just might have bugs/battery drain.

If the devs would please check the google calendar problem with the latest, it would be great.

This is the best running ROM I have right now. It would be great if this problem could be fixed.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Google calendar comes with the GAPS not the ROM. Have you flashed PA GAPPS by any chance? Have you tried with the Slim GAPPS that were just released for 4.4.4?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] mooch530:
Hey guys, 2 quick questions on this ROM...

Can someone post a link to the 4.4.4 GAPPS for me? I checked the first couple pages and didn't see any link to it. Also, I see this ROM has Peek- how does that compare to Active Display?

I'm on Resurrection Remix right now, and I do love the ROM, it hasn't been updated in a while and for some reason it eats battery like crazy, so I'd like to switch to this one seeing that the devs are constantly updating it with the newest code, and it looks like everything is working properly.

thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Flash latest Slim GAPPS or if you prefer, PA GAPPS. You can find both easily with a quick search

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Yes, I tried with the built in calendar, the SOL Calendar (3rd party), and other calendars. None of them see any calendar associated with my gmail account.

These same calendars work with version 1.5.0. Downloaded from the same site. I can try the slimapps but even when using SOL Calendar the problem is that it cannot connect to the google server. This problem is in the ROM I believe.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Not sure what's going on here, is your Google services up to date? Here's a screenshot of my calendar synced fine.

[HTC One S] Log1c.:
Hi there,

I installed the ROM yesterday and like it!

Just two things I don't like:

This button in the drop down notification bar, which enables/disables some kind of notification overlay/pop-up. Is it possible to remove this button?

Second thing is, that I find the "recent apps drawer" quite unresponsive. The one I know from CM is much better. Is it possible to change the style?
[HTC One S] cannondaleV2000:
that button enables hover notifications. and just leave the button alone if you dont like it. it will alwase be there
[HTC One S] 808phone:
OK, I tried with slim apps beta 4.4.4 and it worked!

So now everything is working for me. This is the best ROM I have used on the One S. Amazing. I have very little problems at all.

Oh and BTW the in call volume is FINE. Headphone volume is FINE!

Not at all soft like CM11. This ROM is great.
[HTC One S] ectobk:
Hi !

i flashed the rom and it seems all things work fine just one thing , the battery life ( in 1minute 2% drain ) :'( :'(
[HTC One S] K7Cobb:
It worked for a lil bit but then stopped and the browser crashes a lot

This is a great ROM just no sound for me ?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Screen is too bright?
[HTC One S] asdfasdfvful:
Just tried this rom and everything seems pretty solid. Gapps and everything are working fine too.

In case you guys are looking for requests or suggestions, maybe add flip tile animations for eye candy and some settings for hover? (like only enable when in immersive mode).

I tried some custom kernels but wifi didn't work afterwards, but this happened with other roms too..

And it might be because of DPI on the fly, but app settings can't change font sizes for specific parts (ie just settings)

Otherwise everything is smooth now. I'll see how the battery is later
[HTC One S] ectobk:
no i have put it in the middle :(
[HTC One S] 808phone:
You might be able to answer this. With another ROM, could you have the screen the same brightness and get more battery life?

I was under the impression that the screen burns through battery no matter what.
[HTC One S] asdfasdfvful:
The screen may drain the same amount but the difference in cpu activity could make a big impact. Some roms can have much greater drains with the screen on compared to others because something is keeping the phone fully awake
[HTC One S] 808phone:
It seems like you can be on a static page and just turn the brightness way up and just watch the battery die. :(
[HTC One S] mooch530:
Just loaded this ROM... so far so good! I used the slim Gapps beta 4.4.4 and everything seems to be working fine. Nice job!
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I don't understand how this ROM could be so good when CM11 gave me so many problems. This ROM is the most stable one I have used on my One S. I have none of the problems I had with CM11.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Because it is based on Slim not CM maybe?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Maybe but wouldn't you want to fix the problems with CM11?? This ROM makes CM11 look bad on my phone.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
No :)
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
Is it not possible to move Apps to SD card on CandyKat?

When I look at App Info it seems that the Move to SD Card option is not there for any of the apps. What am I missing?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I don't think it's there.
[HTC One S] b0mb:
is hover already part of candy kat?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Yes, both Hover and Peek are part of CandyKat
[HTC One S] b0mb:
hmmmm...

now when droyd stopped developing deviant xone i´m looking for a new rom

i might should give candy kat a try i think ;)
[HTC One S] truevision:
someone has tried ipsec vpn (ex: forticlient) with this rom? Work good?
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
I have PIA VPN and it works fine. App force closes when I manually disconnect, but that's about it.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Is anyone able to move Apps to SD Card with CandyKat?

I just flashed 1.5.2 and the option to move apps to SD card just doesn't appear on my phone. Internal storage has only about 200MB left and won't allow for Apps to update anymore (insufficient space). I previously had this problem (insufficient space) with Deviant and just moved apps to SD card to fix it.
[HTC One S] truevision:
Thanx, but I think PIA vpn isn't a ipsec or ssl vpn, it's another stuff...

how can i get around this.

[HTC One S] matthew0776:
Hmmm...what version...and what version did u come from ..and was it clean ? I'll check mine but not on this device ...
[HTC One S] mar5hal:
I think this may be a drawable issue. I n know the problem has come up every once in a while. We will look into the device specific source
[HTC One S] matthew0776:
Works on on htc m7 so it may be device specific...^^^^ or may just need to be clean on install.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
You are right. It's gotta be a bug. Why does android only support the cool features when in slide mode? Everything goes away when in PIN mode.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I'm not right now on Candy to check but there was a setting to show slider before secure screen...so you have the slider screen with shortcuts and so on and after you slide you get prompted about pin, pass, pattern and so on...you can check if it is in Security or in Candy settings for lockscreen. If not, for sure can be added via Xposed module
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
How do I screen record? I did by accident the other day but don't know what I did. There's no options to enable in settings or set up a hardware button for it
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You can add it to the advanced power menu or you have a shortcut by pressing vol-up+power at the same time (same as with screenshot but use vol-up instead of vol-down)

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
There's no advanced power menu setting its global menu and the option isn't there
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Settings->Candy Interface->Global Menu and press the + sign. Add Screenshot
[HTC One S] Rapier:
He doesn't want the screenshot, he wants screenrecord (the one that records video of ROM)

Have you tried vol-up+power?
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
Yes I have it doesn't work. I accidentally did it about a week ago and I don't know how
[HTC One S] matthew0776:
Power and vol up is how u activate screen record ...
[HTC One S] truevision:
power + volume up don't work in my CandyKat!
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
It does work but make sure u push power right before the volume + button
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
Doesn't work for me either. But you can assign screenshot to one of the hardware buttons. I assigned it to long press of the App Switch Key.
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
Screen record and screen shot are 2 different things
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It is working. If it's not working for someone, you're either not doing properly or you have a specific issue on your device...hardware maybe with the buttons or something related to an app you have installed.

And there is an Q&S thread for this kind of problems

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Doesn't work for me either.
[HTC One S] truevision:
Audio

I'm on CandyCat from few days and sometimes audio don't work (call ring, email notification, ecc).

I use IceCode kernel.

Someone have same issue ?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I am not using IceCode but with Insanity, no problems with audio at all. Did you do a full wipe before installing?
[HTC One S] truevision:
Yes of course...

I wanna try Insanity Kernel now.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Well I'm not sure what causes the audio dropout. I got it once with CM11 a while ago. As for this ROM, besides the two issues mentioned (move to SDcard, circle targets), I am having no problems and getting very reasonable battery life. This is the best my phone has run in a long time. I'm just going to leave it as-is unless I really need something new because it's running fine for me. I don't understand why the same model phone runs so differently for people with the same ROM. It must be a nightmare to develop for these phones.
[HTC One S] cannondaleV2000:
You Are correct. developing for these older htc devices is a PITA at times but i think it worth it to see what the end product is
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
And we are very very happy and thankful for all the great work you guys do for our phone :thumbup:
[HTC One S] Carsten76:
This Rom is great. I am using it with Insanity kernel and it is flying.

Only one issue. When I connect via Bluetooth to the media system of my car then in the car system I can scroll trough the phone book, I have calls on the cars speakers but what not works is starting outgoing calls, accepting incoming calls, and incoming/outgoing/missed call lists. I always need to touch the phone for that.

It was OK on earlier Android versions (up to 4.4.2) Also with 4.4.2 on the first pairing the phone automatically asked if it is OK that the car system tries to access my phone book and call lists. That does not happen with 4.4.4. (kernel does not seem to matter, was not working with standard kernel either)

Any ideas he to solve that?

Quick question about OK Google everywhere.

I like the idea of this feature where you can access OK google from any screen. Unfortunately, despite seeing an update of Google Search, I still cannot access this feature.

Is it possible it's a CandyKat issue? Does anyone here running CandyKat have the ok google everywhere???

To have those options you must have Google Search updated, it's not related to the ROM. I got some update for it from Play Store and I see that I have them. Have you checked for an update? What GAPPS do you have installed exactly? (first screenshot shows build version on top
