HI there!

Is this ROM good if I'm on hboot 2.15 and S-ON ? Actually I would like to use this ROM to try making the S-OFF as with my current custom ROM ( ViperOnes 2.2.0 with android 4.1.1, kind of old ) I can't manage to get the S-OFF.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Yes ville can be a bit picky, so best way and last time I s-offed ville was using Moonshine but there's a few key things,

1.disable firewall and anti-virus on pc

2.must be usb 2.0, not 3.0 backwards compatible, must be true usb 2.0 (typically black in middle of female end in pc)

3. You may need to run it a bunch of times, last one took me 3, some reported upto 15 times before it worked.

[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
well I have made a fresh install of windows 7 x64 on a little partiotin, used usb 2.0 ports on the back of the mainboard and disable the firewall; also I have used the firewater and the rumrunner procedure but they didn't work out. I think that the best way is trying to change the custom ROM.

P.S. anyway having S-ON is fine for installing this ROM?
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
Back on Candy kat. Thanks for the apps2sd!
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Yeah you can install this rom no problem

1. Make sure your on twrp 2.7.1

2.flash rom zip via twrp

3.fastboot boot.img

Reboot and enjoy

Sorry for my ignorance but I haven't get why after flashing the ROM I do have to flash the boot.img with fastboot..

If you don't you can go into a boot loop. Much better to be S-OFF.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
I'm installing this ROM because I want to do S-OFF and I cannot manage to get it with my current custom rom.

Actually I haven't understood where I can download the fastboot!

Not sure if this is a CandyKat problem or a Google Now problem or a Nova Launcher problem...but after installing v1.5.6 my default launcher (Nova) does not come up when the phone reboots. Instead, I get the GEL with no icons except a Google search bar. If I hit the search bar and then hit home, Nova launcher opens up (with a prompt on each of the screens that have widgets to reactivate those widgets). If I just hit home, the GEL screen remains with no icons.

Has anyone else had trouble with getting Nova (or another launcher other than the GEL) to stick after reboots?
[HTC One S] Bad.Fish:
Did you clean flash? I use smart launcher and it works fine
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
ok I already have fastboot on my pc running, also I have red around the web that essentialy the boot.img it's the kernel; fine anyway I haven't understand where I can download the boot.img file alone. Do I have to extract it from the ROM zip by myself?

P.S. By the way, this morning I have flashed the ROM alone inside TWRP v2.7.1 recovery but after the flash the phone restarted and it remain in black screen, the ROM doesn't even start. I have had to press power+volume down to enter the bootloader and then the recovery manually. I suppose this is because of the fact that I'm S-ON and the recovery hasn't flashed the kernel too.

If you look at CM11, so many problems occurred because of the theme engine. I would hate for CandyKat to become as unreliable as CM11 was for me.

Thanks for the input, this is exactly why it's not in, we will implement theme engine once it's tested and working, if it does end up causing problems we will remove it.

1.so from bugs:

a. bootanimation needs resizing

b. dashclock app is crashing everytime

2 Which sweetner pack i can apply to this rom ? sweetner pack 1 v.2.3.3 unoficiall will be good?

3. Which kernel is the best for performance, stability and battery life? i'm thinking of flashing bubba kernel what do you think?
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
I'm running the latest Bubba (07/26) @1.72Ghz Oc on CPU and 300/436Mhz on GPU and it works amazingly well. Ville has never been faster. Not had a single reboot yet even when I've been playing around with voltages/governors etc.
[HTC One S] mitakser:
First no sense rom on my S - no regrets given. Battery life awesome , fast as hell, sweeteners are very nice, volume is a little low for me. I was like :eek: the first time i opened the dialer app - very strange when used to sense. The clock widget bug is annoying but it's just a clock afterall . Overall: like it a lot, thanks for the wonderful rom guys - it's a beautiful piece of a droid. :victory:
[HTC One S] Rapier:
1.b. Known issue for ville, can be solved by deleting dashclock from /system and reinstall from market (then you can move it to system if you want it as a system app)

2.yes,you can use sweetener pack 2.3.3 and on Halo theme screen select next as Halo is no longer in

3. Both bubba and icecode might work but you could also run into some minor issues... Why? Cause both are updated with latest CM kernel commits while CandyKat is Slim based not CM. It might not have all changes merged yet, don't know for sure if they were in the latest 1.5.6

Had to flash the last build twice because I think the latest slim addon (beta) conflicts with it. Two things I've noticed:

1. Lockscreen notifications is on by default, but is off in settings. I need to turn it on then off to turn it off

2. Boot animation is still not resized

I'll report back later

So far so good everything is working great... thanks for adding screen record to power menu

Dirty flashed and everything seems to be working fine :good:

One question though. What is the difference between heads up and hover? And how do you enable and disable heads up?
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
Yeh sometimes I appear to get a small hover popup then a much larger hover-type popup that covers the smaller popup. If that makes sense.
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
Good question. Want to know that too :)
[HTC One S] rc420head:
hover And heads up are basically the same (I don't use ether so I'm sure someone else can put there option better then i) heads up you can set to be at bottom of screen too. There both anabled disabled through candy interface in settings.

you Have both hover and heads up enabled, disable one or make heads up show at bottom.

2.15 was last official firmware from HTC 2.16 changed the sd/data layout to match what the standard is now, it was made by HTC but never released and leaked by an employee.

2.16 is required by sense roms

2.15 is the standard for aosp roms but some (like candykat) are built in both formats.

There's no performance difference in my opinion but 2.16 shares data with SD so your SD shows as 12gb but app storage goes on that 12gb too, with 2.15 you only get 2gb for apps and 10gb SD. (but with apps2sd I candykat this is not an issue)

If you change to 2.16 do you loae your data on sd card?

And is there a nice tutorial? Tried googling but didn't get very far.
[HTC One S] asdfasdfvful:
Okay, but where exactly in the interface? In the heads up section, I don't have a toggle. Or does the toggle for hover apply to heads up as well? As of now heads up isn't showing for me so I guess there's something I'm missing
[HTC One S] foeti:
You have to enable heads up in app settings. Choose one app and enable it by checking the box (like it was with halo blacklist).

Heads up and hover are almost the same with the difference that at one hand you get the whole message displayed and at the other you can customize it a bit more than hover...

Hi everyone,

I just decided to try Candy Kat on my stock One S (HBOOT 2.15). This was a pure untouched phone before that. Here what I've done so far :

* unlock phone with fastboot and HTCDev

* flash TRWP (last version) using fastboot also. It worked.

* Then, from the recovery I performed a full wipe & flash CandyKat with gapps

* Reboot, black screen.... :(

I think I forgot to flash SU, right ? ...

Now CandyKat does not boot : I have absolutely no display.

All I can do is go to the recovery...

I am taking any ideas you could give me...

Thank you sooo much in advance, I hope I did not break my One S, I don't want to change my phone.

Poukill.
[HTC One S] asdfasdfvful:
You are s-on so you need to flash the boot. There are many tutorials and I've also made a site (link in my signature) on how to flash the boot or s-off

Furthermore, always keep a nandroid back up on your phone if you are s-on
[HTC One S] poukill:
Thanks a lot asdfasdfvful ! Indeed, I'm not S-Off, but Unlocked. I thought it would be enough.

Can I use the http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ method ?

I saw I have just have to run soju.exe...

Thanks so much. :good:
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
I used moonshine to S-OFF and it worked a charm. Just keep an eye on your phone so you don't miss the grant adb SU prompt.

You can always factory reset in recovery or run a ruu if all else fails. Just make sure you run the right ruu for your phone's region.
[HTC One S] poukill:
I'm such an idiot. What I just had to do was to flash boot.img using fastboot... as asdfasdfvful said. And I was free like a bird. But I did a factory reset in the hboot "just to test" and now it seem I'm really stuck. In the recovery I can't even perform a full wipe. It says :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5BFn8htqtpqeVZFd2lRMEJhSTAzdlZGNWplVlV4RERDNTQw/edit?usp=sharing

And I can't mount drives on my PC anymore.

This time I will wait for your ideas before touching anything on my One S I swear.

Thanks a lot in advance. Sorry to bother you. But I will take any link or idea.

Poukill.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
I've done it on accident before, try advanced wipe and check all box's or the twrp factory reset, might take a few trys and a few reboots but it will come back

[MENTION=4889427]poukill[/MENTION] in response to your one S question, rum runner should work. It is the newest of the three methods and I believe it supports the most number of phones.

In most cases I start the browser and want to visit Google search website I'm getting reboots....

Any one else facing that issue?

Last_kmsg attached...
[HTC One S] truevision:
thanx for this amazing rom! just a curiosity... a feature like 'proximity sensor wake'... is possibly to adding?
[HTC One S] superiscch:
Isn't that pocket mode? Check Candykat interface, under lockscreen notification.
[HTC One S] Frankyg:
I think my proximity sensor is broken, at least it only seems to work 1 out every 10 phone calls. I make a call and the screen goes off. When I take the phone away from my face it should light up but doesn't. The screen is totally unresponsive until the other party hangs up. I can't hang up because the screen is off and won't come back on! Which means that I have to hard reboot (press on/off button for 10 secs) to get the phone back to normal. Anyway, I've got a Oneplus One on the way, but I would really like to get this working again as I'll probably give the One S to my wife.

Anyone else with proximity sensor issues related to the Rom?

full disclosure - I've recently replaced the entire glass/lcd with a new one, but the proximity sensor appears intact (it's on the motherboard) and there are no cables broken.
[HTC One S] foeti:
One time I got a similar situation. Phone won't come back after call. But this was just once and for now it's working good....
[HTC One S] truevision:
this feature works not so good... and I must activate the lockscreen, I normally don't use it.

Now I use AutoScreenOnOff app, I'd like to a similar feature... :)

or I can try IceCode kernel, it have this function...
