Really appreciate this. Thank you very much bro. am flashing right now:D
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Anyone tried it? Any feedback?

[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
There's 1 guy that always gives the best reviews of rom's, maybe you can ask him ;)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I know how the ROM works for me, I was just curious if others have flashed it too and if they like it. I can easily build it just for me if there's nobody interested

[HTC One S] dcube92:
Flashed it; no Gapps installed; noticing some lag when going through the settings and getting the minimizing keyboard. camera didnt work at first but started after cache and Dalvik wipe. Other than that, it is really nice Layers and ambient display, FM radio and Nova along with the gallons of other tweaks make it a very, very good Rom.

PS: I cant seem to get enough of the boot animation. Absolutely LOVE it!!! Keep hope alive [MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION]
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
I know :) was just teasing.

But i understand. Sometimes you get no response and it looks like you are only building it for yourself. But people will appreciate it. They won't let it know so much though.....
[HTC One S] mariachi62:
Nice job! Thanks [MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION]

Edit: And please keep your device (and your work) as long as possible ;)!
[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
Well, congrats neighbour :) . This cat haven't seen this thread, so i may be pardoned. Coming back home on Sunday and feedback will be as soon as I play a bit with a rom.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
My bad, should've send you a PM....when you'll come back there'll be a new version out I think and it already has some new things in it
[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
Next time PM ;). I will DL present version first, tonite, to see how it's going, than a new build, to see what we got.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It's time for Broken Saturday...new build is up. Some new things added like the weather in lockscreen and the ability to change text/icon color as well. Dotted circle battery icon was added also and the gap between the battery and signal icon was made smaller (when battery is set as "text only"). Full changelog is in second post
[HTC One S] Fanagoreca:
Hi all there!

A can't give long review for the ROM.

Just wanna to say that it's very snappy, responsible , fast and battery friendly. I'm using it for couple of days with zero problems, reboots other lags. Customisation is good with layers, as options we have just enough.

So, I can say that is one of the best lollipop rom's.

Thank you for developing and shearing with us!
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Thank you but I want to remind you that I don't develop anything, I'm just building it. Only things I've done was to add Ambient Display for our phone since it haven't that enabled and Ive made some commits for that smaller battery padding (to have less gap between battery and signal cluster in status bar).

But I agree with you, it is one of the ROMs that are good as daily and I had no reboots or lags even after days of usage...and yes, battery is great too, Ive seen reviews from other users that praise the battery life on this ROM.

Oh yes and lately I've made a wallpaper for the ROM but that doesnt count as "development"...or it does? LOL. Speaking of which, I'm attaching it here maybe someone likes it as much as I do.

[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
Although i didn't came home yet, which is great :D , i had some time to backup everything and try ROM. Instalation went OK, first boot was rather quick. Boot animation(s) is awful, so opposite from the rom. By now, i can tell that nice and beautiful boot animation don't make rom good, au contraire. This rom is a fine example of that and i get it why [MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] choosed it. By far the fastest 5.1.1 rom i tried, stable and, for now, very battery friendly. Interesting is that even Nova launcher is lagless, which i haven't had on any other rom with Nova built in. My fav ADW was no match.

I'm new with layers so we have to get used to each other, so I'm leaving that part for later. Had to use msm soc for volume, and it's OK now.

After a while i flashed latest full open gapps, removed via TBP what i don't use and went through basic phone setup. Didn't import anything, just data for some particular apps. What i couldn't find are button remapping and advance power menu - can't reboot to recovery by old school way and can't remap HW buttons. Rest of customisations and options are quite enough for me. Especially lockscreen shorcuts.

I will continue to use this, 2.3. 08062016, build for a while just to have a real feel of a battery life, and than i will flash Saturday's build. Gotta jet, catch you later :)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I bet you didn't read the third post (FAQ)... :) There you'll find exactly what you were asking ...how to remap buttons and how to get advanced power menu.

But I really appreciate you've tried this ROM. I've choose it not only cause it has good reviews but also for the Layers thing...I'm a big fan of Layers and will preffer it to CMTE at least for now. If you have questions or need advices with it just ask.

Oh, and I usually delete the included Nova in every ROM that has it cause I'm enrolled in the Nova Beta testing group and it always updates from Play Store so I never use the one included. Same goes for Kernel Adiutor and Layer Manager

Another fresh news is that the Broken GAPPS were updated 2 days ago so those who use them might wanna check. For who doesn't know yet, Broken GAPPS are inverted so who's a fan of dark themes might give them a try. I personally use TK GAPPS with a dark Layer but it's good we have more options

not any bug ?

What is the battery consumption ?

just a notice

in 5.X roms The sound output is too little Solution is not it ?

Because i dont hear calling sound and music it Harassment
[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
Yeah, started to read, figured out that it was one of yours noob friendly FAQ, skipped, and than I became one :silly:. For my comfort, guy above me didn't read it also :), so my dear [MENTION=5825425]emimob[/MENTION] read the post #3. Don't skip anything.

Battery is good indeed, i get cca 1d10h with 2h SON, and still have around 25% left of juice. Didn't have any reboots or any issue that could be rom related. Snappy and lagless as from the day one. It's time for 2.4 build.
[HTC One S] emimob:
tnx

for sound ?

have not any Solution ?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You have been given a solution for sound already. What do you need more? Have you actually READ third post?

And please keep these kind of posts/questions in the Q&A thread for this ROM. They're not related to development of it nor do they help with it. Thank you.

[HTC One S] Rapier:
I have no OTG cable so I can't test this feature. Theoretically yes, it should work but you might try and confirm that. I know that for other devices, OTG works on this ROM but I don't know for Ville

[HTC One S] matu89:
This ROM is fast I like it , is there any way to switch back the recent apps style to the lollipop one ?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Recents have 2 "styles" : standard Lollipop and Slim Recents. You can switch between them in Settings - Broken Pieces - Navigation - Recent apps panel. By default, Slim Recents is active.

Edit: I've included this in FAQ as well, could be that more people will ask this question and most do not read the whole thread.
[HTC One S] Borman2000:
Read the FAQ. Found all answers the questions wanted to ask. :)

Good job. Tnx
[HTC One S] matu89:
I was hoping that the cpu heating during multitasking apps issue will be gone in this rom and im starting to think that LP maybe is too much for 1GB Ram phone .. what do u think guys?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I get heating only while charging or using GPS intensive apps like Maps/Navigation. Or you can get heating if you use a custom kernel. On normal use I don't have any heating issues

This Saturday is totally Broken for me :p

New build 2.5 is on AFH. Full changelog is in post #3. Expanded volume panel, fixes and cleaning up the code, added call recording and screen recorder are just some of the new things that are in. Enjoy a nice weekend...
[HTC One S] derkleinebroicher:
I tried version 2.4 a couple of days ago - all in all a really good and stable rom. But I've been searching for an option, to turn off the heads up notification completely. Isn't it there or haven't I found it?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
No, there is not an option to turn off heads-up globally. I know there were some suggestions to add such switch but it's not depending on me. For now, you can go to Apps Notifications (Settings - Sound & Notification) and turn off heads-up for each app

Note: If anyone flashed latest 2.5 build from today, I would appreciate a feedback on how it goes. It seems like something went wrong and sound is completely "disappearing" after a while. I've tried both dirty/clean flash but it's the same. When booting the ROM sound is ok but after some time is gone. Not even the volume adjustment sound is heard. Don't know what went wrong, it could be some of the new audio-related changes or something was changed in the device tree. I am still checking but people are on a different time-zone so I don't expect to have an answer soon.

As always, I would recommend you to make a nandroid backup BEFORE you flash latest build just to be safe
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Which music player are you using with this ROM?
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Is it just me or any facing the sound problem? No sound output.

latest version. 2.5
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
Do you read any posts or what?? Check [MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] his post above yours.....
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It seems this build has audio issues indeed. I've flashed it several times today, with different GAPPS packages and kernels...same. Initially I get a Hangouts error (Unfortunately Hangouts has stopped...) without even using it. I was in the initial setup wizard. After that, sound is gone.

I'll try to have it fixed but right now I don't even where to start looking. Any tip will be good. My intention is to build it again but using other device tree not the one I'm using right now. [MENTION=5477070]mmarkvoort[/MENTION], [MENTION=5174950]Hai96[/MENTION], [MENTION=3921603]phoenixita[/MENTION] or whoever still builds for Ville, maybe you can tell me what device tree and kernel you're using.

EDIT. Meanwhile, I'll take down this build so it' won't be available for download anymore. I'll upload a new one as soon as it's fixed (hope it'll be fixed :) )
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Oopsie. Sorry didn't read it. Apologies..
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
I use mine at github.com/mmarkvoort. But they are modified for Cyanide. But basically it are cm ones. With a few modifications like permissive kernel.

Proprietary stuff is forked from TheMuppets.

For RR i also used CM ones.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
If doesn't bothers you, I'll try to use them too (at least to test if I get the same problems building with them). I see you forked s4-common and msm8960 too. You're using those or you take them from CM? What changes are made specifically for Cyanide? I had to change the device files I was using for including Ambient Display but that is included in Cyanide so it could work like that. Kernel you use is also the one from your git?
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
No problem! Go right ahead.

Most changed things are in the ville section. Cyanide.mk and dependancies file etc. Just the stuff you change fir the rom to build so you might want to change it back.

I use all 5 repo's from my github. S4-common is changed to use permissive kernel. And i use yhe kernel from my git. Also originally from CM.
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
I'm using cm ones..
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Video with audio works fine. Used MX player.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Ok, so just to have you posted, I've got the last build (2.5) working by replacing the /system/lib files with the ones from previous build. So the audio problem is somewhere with the device files cause building with another kernel won't change anything.

Also there was a new Layers Manager app out since yesterday and that required that the dev team had to change some things to integrate it in the ROM.

What I want to do next is to make another build using different device files and see if it'll work this time. If not, I have also a "patch" zip available for replacing those files and make it work (the way I'm using it now) till I get a real fix.

I would like to hear from you what would you like... Wait till I figure out what device tree I have to use (and that could take longer) or you want me to upload the build along with the patch and flash them both?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] bleui:
I don't mind waiting for the complete build, the last version is stable enough to not be in a hurry
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Ok everyone...good news. With the help from [MENTION=5188956]cannondaleV2000[/MENTION] , [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] and the lead dev of BrokenPOP, I got it sorted out. Thank you again guys.

The root cause was a CM commit to the msm8960-common made 3 days ago, exactly when the problems with audio started.

I've made a new build and flashed it on my Ville and sound is working. Build is uploaded to AFH. Please let me know if there are other issues with it cause these days I made about 10 builds for testing with various kernels and device trees and I want to be sure it is OK. Sorry for the wait but I preferred to have it fixed instead of providing a flashable "patch"

Happy flashing

Edit: There is an issue in this build that's already fixed for the upcoming ones, but I wanted to let you know. There were some changes to the Layers Manager recently, 2 versions of it popped up during one day (4.0 and 4.1). ROM was initially set to accommodate version 4.0 but 4.1 was out and reverted some changes. This specific BrokenPOP build was made just between those 2 Layer Manager versions so there is a small issue. You'll get Settings FC if you try to launch Layers from Settings. But you can update from Play Store to 4.1 and launch the manager from the app drawer instead. Next build will include the latest 4.1 Layers Manager and have everything fixed as I was told.
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Can't connect to Camera? Any body facing the problem after some usage?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It's that camera/torch bug that is a general LP bug. I think it was solved in CM or some other ROMs but Broken is not CM based so it's not tracking CM's repo for such fixes. If anyone knows the commits for this I might try to include them as it's particular only for our device so I don't expect to be fixed by Broken dev team.

For now unfortunately we just have to restart the phone to make it work. The good thing is that it doesn't appear every time just from time to time and is not so often. Also you may have the "torch bug", that is you light up the torch from QS and it doesn't turn off until you reboot phone. It was happening to me only once tho. These 2 bugs are related so if I have the commits to fix them it'll be great.
[HTC One S] letsurock:
Thanks for explanation, switched to EuphoriaOS.
[HTC One S] Heisenberg:
Hi all,

I've had to close this thread because the founding member of Broken is a permanently banned member. Due to this none of his work can be shared on XDA. I'd like to extend thanks to [MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] for his work, and for his understanding in this situation.
[HTC One S] Heisenberg:
Hi All,

Due to a recent rule change we're able to have this thread continue. So...

Thread opened.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Thank you for having the thread reopened, I hope Ville users will be happy seeing Broken builds again.

I've uploaded the builds to the same location, what is new apart from the official changelog is that starting with the 2.7 build, ROM is compiled with 4.8 Sabermod toolchain and O3, LTO, Graphite and Strict aliasing optimizations enabled. What does that mean? Expect an even faster and smoother experience.

Also I don't want to make a promise but I work with an old Ville dev to include his kernel as default in the ROM. It won't have very many options apart from stock (no OC as I would like to keep it's stability and battery drain low), but it'll have some added goodies...Compiled with optimizations, rebased on 3.4.108 and having many govs, schedulers and fast charge. No DT2W and S2W cause these could bring issues for some users.

Saying all these...enjoy the builds again

EDIT: Anyone wondering about battery life? Not pretending that this is my best run, but for an 3 years old device (with original battery), I consider this acceptable. I usually get 4 hrs SOT with about 16 hrs of usage. This is without any battery tweaks, screen brightness set to "auto" (slider at half), normal phone usage (calls, browsing, mails, texting, G+, tapatalk, viber, whatsapp, skype and occasional youtube videos)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Morning everyone, new 2.8 build is uploaded on AFH, changelog in second post. Flash & enjoy your new Broken Ville.

As an added bonus, here's a wallpaper I've made for those of you who may like it...hapy bloody BrokenSaturday

[HTC One S] matu89:
Thanks for the new build , Btw any suggestion for a cool new Layer theme ?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Hm...tough decision to make. I've used several and all were great, I was switching them just for a different look. Vapor Lime, Vapor Blue, Crimson/Gryffindor, Scarlet, Sublime V3.1, Graphite. Right now I use a combination of Scarlet with Gryffindor both by Jimmy Setiawan, for a dark/red look. Check OP for Vapor Lime screenshots, Vapor Blue is the same but with blue instead of that lime green (I have some screnshots with it in my post related to battery). But you should check the BitSyko G+ community as they have there alot of Layer Themes and you can see how they look like

Vapor is a dark/light combination as it has some things themed dark while some others like apps backgrounds or notifications remaining white to match the Google apps. Gryffindor, Scarlet or Sublime V3.1 are totally dark, including notifications while Graphite is a light theme with nice details and rounded QS notification background.

As I said, it's hard to choose, each has it's own unique style and beauty...

One of the best thing in Layers tho, is the fact you can combine themes...so if you find one that you like but you like more the settings or QS from another theme, you can use the settings or systemui from that theme. Also in such way you can add to a theme, layers for different apps that were not themed in the initial package. For ex you use one theme you like but it does not have Hangouts or Inbox or WhatsApp themed...and you find some nice layers for those apps that match your main theme. It is simple to add just those app layers to your existing applied ones and enjoy them all. This is what I was doing now with Scarlet and Gryffindor...I use mainly Scarlet but have some parts taken from Gryffindor because I like it more in some areas
[HTC One S] Zoucz:
Rapier, amazing as always... Just found this ROM, gonna try it today. Coming from "dead" Candy5.

P.S. I hope the ROM is not broken :D
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You never know until you try...

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Zoucz:
Tried, liked it... :)

The only thing that bothered me was that it wasn't possible to change swipe lockscreen shortcuts. But I did some googling and found THIS. So I'll try and see how it works.

But so far so good. Thanks!
[HTC One S] Rapier:
There are few ROMs that have this option. But why would you need that when you have custom lockscreen shortcuts and you can add anything you want?

And the method you found is based on Xposed and I try to avoid it as much as possible if I can

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Zoucz:
I know some ROMs have it and I got used to it. The thing is that I don't use camera and dialler very often and so I don't need them as shortcuts. I have 2 more useful apps for me and I find the swipe shortcuts more elegant than these we can add in the centre of the screen. It's just my opinion.

I know the method is based on Xposed and I prefer it to custom lockscreen replacement apps from GPlay. I still haven't tried it as I am a bit busy now but I will try it and see how it works. Of course I will leave some feedback.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Xposed should work, I've tested it even if I'm not a big fan of it due to changes it injects. There are some performance limitations on Lollipop since in order to make Xposed work on LP, rovo had to disable some optimizations. Therefore I prefer not to use it if it's not mandatory. But probably you'll not notice a major decrease in performance even if using it

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Zoucz:
Naturally, some people don't like using Xposed but I do. Even though it might not be as optimized and powerful as it was for Kitkat. I have been using it since it was released for LP and I haven't had any problems so far. Of course there is trouble with flashing and making the whole Xposed work but i got through it and everything works great. It is also very important for me to workaround my helicopter issue using Xposed Additions. So these are the reasons why I use it.

Some things I noticed about the ROM: The camera isn't working at all. Looks like the software has no access to the hardware. When I change the battery settings in Broken Pieces to show percentage inside the battery circle it only works for a few minutes and then the percentage disappears.

Otherwise running smooth, fast and with the Xposed lockscreen swipe shortucts working. :good:
[HTC One S] Rapier:
The camera issue is known and sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. It's a specific device issue and it can be solved only if someone shows me the proper commits from CM to fix it. I could pick them in that case. For me it was working most of the time but I'm not a photo fan either so don't use it so much.

The text inside battery was reported already by one of the nexus users and I think it'll be solved next build. To be honest I never use that option since text is so small that I barely read it. I always use text outside the battery. I'll try to replicate the problem to see if it's doing the same for me

EDIT: For me battery text inside the circle works ok. I tried both with the normal circle and with the segmented one. Must be something on your side, don't want to blame Xposed for that but it could be. Unless you clean flash, not using Xposed and provide steps for replicating the issue I cannot consider this a bug
