Update came earlier this week. 2.9 build has been uploaded to AFH, changelog in second post...flash, enjoy and #StayBroken

I know changelogs might not say much for some but this build has some improvements in RAM management and tweaks for resources and ART usage that made this build smoother and snappier. I've really saw a difference compared to previous build

NOTE: I'll be leaving for couple of weeks (haven't decided yet if will be 2 or 3 :) ) so it could be that will be no updates for some time. I left my computer logged in Ubuntu in order to start builds remotely but if I have a power failure...bad luck. I'll still be active here just that I won't have access to the build machine
[HTC One S] javelinanddart:
Thanks man!

Someone mention ville kernel? ;)

I have a ville once more guys, I'm certainly going to enjoy working with you guys again!
[HTC One S] Rapier:
That'll be great... Ethan is MIA so he couldn't continue his work on InSaNiTy ville kernel but maybe we can see an update on your older work

I have the following issue since I use this rom:

When I try to update apps from play store I often get the error (try to translate [emoji16] ):

Can't update app because there is not enough free space on your device.

I never had this problem before and I also don't have a lot of apps installed. E.g. When I clear cache and boot it says something like 120 apps but this is including system apps.

Titanium backup says that I have 1.2gb free on system-rom, 250 mb on internal and 1.3gb on external...

Any ideas? Thanks for help [emoji6]
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Which GAPPS do you use. Have you tried a clean flash with other GAPPS package? I never had this error with any of the builds.
[HTC One S] ZioRò:
I got the same problem after flashing Cyanide L latest update. I was told to reflash gapps, but I suppose that to be the cause of this issue.. I'll try a clean flash of another rom soon which should fix it!
[HTC One S] santo_2k:
had same issue with Cyanide L latest update. I tried installing NextApp SDFix and it fixed the issue.
[HTC One S] mariachi62:
Thanks for your advice. The nextapp sdfix didn't work for me.

I will try a clean install with broken gapps, was using tk gapps so far.

I'll let you know if it worked.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Ok, I have a little teaser for ya....

- updated to Android 5.1.1 r6

- 3.0 Milestone build

- we got OFFICIAL support for our device

EDIT: New build was uploaded to AFH...changelog in second post. As a note, Anti-Piracy support was added to the ROM so apps like "lucky patcher" and so on won't work anymore

NOTE: There were multiple reports on several devices that there are Play Services FCs both on clean/dirty flash if you use latest TK GAPPS and some others as well. I had that too and I've been experimenting with several GAPPS packages to find some that works. For now, latest Broken GAPPS, TK GAPPS before 17.07,Banks GAPPS, Slim zero GAPPS, DU TBO GAPPS, all work fine.

So if you have FCs, flash another GAPPS package, preferably one of those I've listed above
[HTC One S] Fanagoreca:
Excuse me, but I can't find latest build on AFH....
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Thats strange. The build was indeed initially uploaded in a hidden folder but then I moved it to the normal folder. I'll try to see what happened.

Meanwhile here's a direct link. Please let me know if the file is accessible now

New build is up... BrokenPOP 3.1 uploaded to AFH, changelog in second post.

The Play Services FCs from previous build should be gone now. Enjoy your Broken Saturday...
[HTC One S] Rapier:
For those that like to be "broken", I made 2 versions of a splash screen using as base a HTC One wallpaper created by one of the community members...

Splash 1

Splash 2

Installation: Just flash in recovery and enjoy

Great to hear that. Unfortunately, Camera is stopping me to upgrade to this ROM.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Camera error is present in most LP ROMs. If you didn't get the error on other ROMs,that was just luck. I have camera working most of the times but could be that I'm not using it so often also
[HTC One S] ZioRò:
Lucky or not I've never had any issue with camera using Cyanide L for several months..

I hope it will be fixed, I'd like to try this rom!

[HTC One S] Rapier:
On CM based ROMs it could be that CM included some patches for it (tho I saw reports about broken camera in latest nightlies). BrokenPOP is not CM based so those are not included

Newest BrokenPOP 3.2 is up on AFH, changelog in second post.

Main changes to note is merging Android 5.1.1 r9 tag, added option to change lockscreen wallpaper, optimizations and fixes across the ROM.

NOTE: Broken users are safe from Stagefright exploit (and that was for some time by now). Check HERE
[HTC One S] byrt:
I really want to flash this ROM, but there is a point stopping me...

I already tried Cyanide, Exodus and CM, but being hboot 2.15 after a while i receive the message the i haven't enough memory to install other apps, so i'm thinking to switch to a 2.16 compatible rom.

I Always install micro tk gapps, and i don't think to use so many apps, no games or useless stuffs. a possible list of my apps is: fb, wa, office, gmail, maps, tripadvisor, groupon, dropbox, OneDrive, Google drive, Skype, camscanner, opera, mx player, root Explorer.... yes, maybe they are certain number, but i need all of them... so what i want to know, how other people with hboot 2.15 can "survive"? maybe they use very few apps?
[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
I sometimes get that message. What i do is clear cache. It's at Storage. There you can clear it. That works for me. Also i clear Facebook data once in a while. Saves up to 300 mb.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I currently have a total of 100 apps (including system apps). This is the number of "counted" apps when system is optimizing them after a cache wipe. I had before as much as 121 apps but the number itself doesn't say too much cause you can have many little apps or fewer bigger ones.

I use almost same apps as you do with some exceptions...office, fb, tripadvisor, groupon, opera (I have Dolphin instead)...but I also have some you didn't mention and are big: Inbox, Waze, Whatsapp, SwiftKey and others.

I also use to delete some system apps not for making room (cuz I didn't run out of space yet), but I don't see why I should have apps that I never use...so either I delete them from the Broken settings or via a root explorer. Now I even configured TK GAPPS to delete the apps at flash time in recovery. Maybe you can delete those as well to make room.

The current list of what I delete is (in no particular order):

- NoiseField (animated wallpaper)

- Phase Beam (animated wallpaper)

- Galaxy4 (animated wallpaper)

- HoloSpiralWallpaper (animated wallpaper)

- LiveWallpapersPicker

- Calculator (I use RealCalc instead)

- Exchange2

- Email (since I don't use Exchange only Gmail)

- FM2 (not using FM radio)

- FMrecord

- AudioFX

- Google Home (I use Nova Prime)

- DashClock

- Stk (not using SIM Toolkit)

- FaceLock

Another suggestion for you is to use a bigger GAPPS package instead of the Micro one and config it to install only what you need. Why is that? Cause I've noticed you're using Maps and Google Drive and maybe you also use Hangouts ...If you install Micro GAPPS, those apps you're using will be installed from Play Store in /data...if you use for ex a Mini or bigger package they'll be installed in /system so you'll have more space in data. Maps+Street View+Hangouts+Hangouts Dialer+Google Drive will take alot of space in data...space you'll gain if you flash a package that has them. Even if you use a bigger GAPS package, in TK you can setup the config file to exclude or delete the apps you don't need so you can have only the minimum you want...but they'll be installed in /system. Overall will be a better choice
[HTC One S] byrt:
Thank you very much!!! I have just flashed the ROM, using a bigger gapps but selecting by myself what i want to install.

Now i'm downloading some app, by now all i ok, without memory problems!!

Rom is fantastic!! But how can i remove the navigation bar? i hate it! I tried in broken pieces->navigation... but i can't find the option...
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You just have to set it's height to 0 in that navigation setting screen (by default is 48)
[HTC One S] letsurock:
In buildprop, set the value of qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 or remove it.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Yes, that's another option.
[HTC One S] kios19:
Lord of all roms, was ambient display fixed in 3.2?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
No unfortunately. I took it out completely as I haven't found any solution so far. But I'm still searching. Don't really know what has changed that is not working anymore. I don't understand really. If it wasn't working from start ok, I could have presumed it's not working for our device...but it was. And there are other ROMs that have it working as I know...but all are CM based so it might be something in the ROM too not only in device tree.

I have to find some time and take all commits for ambient display and test them one by one...maybe then I have a chance. The problem is that I didn't had the time to do it yet
[HTC One S] kios19:
Awesome work yo, doesnt work with xposed either on 5.1.1
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I don't recommend Xposed but the framework works, I've tested it. I don't know if the Xposed module for Ambient Display works tho. I remember I've tested that at that time and it wasn't
[HTC One S] mkoev:
[MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] any chance to build for 2.16?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Sorry but this is official build and only 2.15 is supported. I cannot build and maintain for something I cannot test or own.

There was somebody tho, that asked me some advices on how to build it and he unofficially build Broken for 2.16. His name is Carsten76, you could PM him and ask for a link. If he wants to build for 2.16 he can open an unofficial thread after asking for permission from the team and share his builds there. But that's not my call

Edit: I've discussed with the dev team about this and they said they'll allow a 2.16 unofficial build under certain conditions. If someone considers that is able to build for 2.16 and want to share the builds, PM me to explain how it can be done.

Any build posted without discussing first will be considered unauthorized and will be removed

Even I don't build for 2.16 I thought that I could at least do that for 2.16 users and try to get an approval upfront. That's all I can do

Hi!

I installed your rom and I have a big problem.

If I make a call then I get a black screen during the calling and I don't do anything.

What can I do ?

Sorry my english and please help.

Best regards
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Have you read the FAQ regarding reporting BUGs? And why is this question here and not in the Q&A thread? When making a call you're supposed to have a black screen when you bring the phone to your ear, otherwise you'll touch the buttons with your face. This is in all ROMs
[HTC One S] emimob:
please sopport beat audio
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Sorry but that is not gonna happen. There were discussions before regarding various audio enhancements like Beats, V4A and so on and they won't be added. AudioFX is included in the ROM. Beats was in Sense based ROMs.

Ok everyone, here comes the #BrokenSaturday so a new build is up for you. 3.3 has lots of optimizations and fixes and also the Android r10 tag. Download location has changed, from now on the builds will be uploaded on the official AFH not on my personal one - links updated in OP. Full changelog is in post 2.

I also have to announce that the team decided to take a 2 weeks break - a mini vacation if you like - so there will be no new builds for the next 2 weeks.

Fllash, enjoy and #StayBroken...

I have just noticed that this ROM has antipiracy integrated..... is there a way to circumvent it?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
We don't take such requests. Buy the software, this is not a place to ask for this. Who don't want it, move to another ROM
[HTC One S] byrt:
Sorry... but i didn't ask anything of questionable... i thought that was a feature of this ROM, and due to the fact that other ROMs haven't it, maybe can be deactivated somewhere. It doesn't mind, I noticed it only after a couple of week of usage, and it's not so important
[HTC One S] Rapier:
There were discussions about anti-piracy support included in some ROMs and in Broken as well. Mostly cause some people couldn't use Lucky Patcher with this protection.

I would like to clear things up from start. Broken team includes the anti-piracy code and it cannot be turned off from settings (that will make it's purpose useless). It is not the only ROM that has it. There are people claiming it's not fair, it's their right to use anything and so on. I won't enter in such debate and I don't care about it either. Everybody has the right to use, flash or do whatever he/she wants with his own device...but as well has the dev team the right to include the anti-piracy support in it's ROM. So anyone that can't stand this, is politely asked to move on and choose another ROM.

Any discussion or asking about disabling the feature is not allowed in here and will be reported.

P. S. This is not aimed at you, but given your post I took the opportunity to cover this topic just for others that might wonder.

[HTC One S] Rapier:
Ok everybody, vacation is over and there's a new Broken build for you to enjoy. File has been uploaded to AFH, changelog in post #2.

Notable thing (for those who care), starting from this build we have working OTA. You'll notice BrokenCenter has gone but you can check for updates in Settings - About Phone - Broken Updates. Other fixes and goodies awaits you as well, like the ability to customize the battery saver mode status bar color.

Flash, enjoy and #StayBroken...
[HTC One S] matu89:
Thanks Rapier , i remembred a post of urs talking about gapps issue.. is it fine to use Broken Gapps the date of : 08.08.2015? (the one in the AFH)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
The GAPPS issue was several builds ago and was about Google Play Services that were giving FCs at that time with several GAPPS packages. That issue is long gone, you can theoretically use any GAPPS you like given they're made for this Android version. Broken GAPPS are fine especially if you like dark ones. They include some TBO GAPPS and provide maximum compatibility.

However, if you would like standard, non dark GAPPS, I would recommend either TK GAPPS or BaNkS, they are also updated more frequently. I am using TK Mini GAPPS on latest build without any issue

How I enlarge the text size in the navbar and in pretty much everywhere (apps,etc..)
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Check in Settings - Display. First you may want to check the DPI setting. Default in Broken is set to 200 but the default for our device screen is 240. You might first want to try 240 cause 200 makes everything smaller. Then you should check Font Size and make it bigger.

I personally use 220 DPI with "huge" font size and this is ok for me.

Also please use the dedicated Q&A thread for questions not related to development

[HTC One S] matu89:
Yeah , sorry for that , I've looked in the Q&A and didn't find it there .. And also I forgot that I have the display section because I'm used to 'broken pieces' section lol ...

ROM is smooth and battery life is good.

having issues with call quality ( ppl are not able to hear my voice clearly and lot of interference) and hangouts app crashes when I try to place video call.

these are the two issues I am having right now and not sure if these are known issues. do they have any fixes or is it something that I have to update.

[MENTION=1045770]Rapier[/MENTION] - out of curiosity how to set the wallpaper/lockscreen that you had in 1st page.

Device Details:

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.13.50.05.31

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45..0815

eMMC-boot

Dec 14 1012,17:10:57:-1
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Don't have any issues with call quality. You're on 2.15 hboot? Problems are with the normal handset or with a headset? Do you have a custom or stock kernel? Any modules like Viper4Android or Xposed? Have you done a clean flash?

With Hangouts video call I cannot say anything cause I never used that (don't have anyone to test with but I'll try). But I made several video calls on Viber and those worked. Dunno if it's a problem with Hangouts (Hangouts was a mess after updated to version 4.x).

The screenshot you've quoted is not the lockscreen, it was my homescreen (with the power menu on-screen). That was the setup I was using at that time. The background was sort of a circuit board wallpaper and the circle clock with battery, mem, CPU, WiFi info is a ZW Widget as well as the lower left text (partially covered by the power menu)
[HTC One S] santo_2k:
yes, I am on 2.15 hboot and problems are with both earbuds and normal headset. I am using Mrak Kernel and even tried with the latest one but still having same issues (hangouts works some times and some times it doesn't). no modules and did a full wipe before installing this rom.

ZW widget is the the key word that I was looking for and thanks for mentioning it.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
After almost 4 years, the time for me to switch to a newer phone has come. My trusty One S will stay as backup phone and I'll continue to build Broken for it at least for the time being. Unfortunately my new phone lacks development and could be that I won't see many ROMs for it in the near future but it's a better device. I'll have my Ville for flashing things on it tho :)

Probably I won't be so active as before in this area but I'll read it and continue to answer and help people as I can. You were all great and I've learned alot from you.

#StayBroken
[HTC One S] matu89:
It will be sometime a solution for the camera bug in the future?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
To be honest I don't think so. It is general in all LP ROMs for ville and we all use for building CM device tree. If CM wil ever fix it, we'll have it fixed also. The problem is that Marshmallow (Android 6) is around the corner and soon development will be focused on that and LP will have less attention as it was previously happening with JB when LP was out. If in all this time the bug was not fixed, the chance to have it fixed is smaller each day. Also I don't know what will happen to vile cause if CM won't support it for CM13...bye bye further development.

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] matu89:
Oh no :(

Bye bye ville and start to think on other device ? I really don't won't to think that way
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It's not about what we want, it's reality unfortunately. Ville has a good hardware and was one of the longest supported devices but its 1GB RAM already makes memory management difficult in LP...those apps killed in background, the bug that throws you to homescreen sometimes just in the middle of something, lag or long time opening of certain apps and even the small (for these days) data space for installed apps are as many proofs that the device is close to reach it's end. Maybe, just maybe we'll get Android 6 if CM will support us but I'm almost sure that'll be the end of it. Google has changed alot in it's OS, now standard is min 2 GB RAM and quad, octa or deca cores procs...a dual core with 1 GB RAM will be suffocated.

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] matu89:
Yeah , I understand what u r saying ... True. I'm hoping to stay with my ville for a year more . I got mine for 2 years + now .
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
My opinion is that we will get CM13 if other msm8960 devices get it... It is not only RAM problem. It is CPU also. ART is killing ville. And LP is the worst android ever. I had 8 hours sot on KK with bacon or 3 days battery. Now have 4h sot and at most 2 days battery. Mobile phone industry forcing us to change phones if we want to track software changes...

Camera not working

I think that this rom is one of the better rom for htc one s, but as all rom with android lollip, it has the problem that camera often not working, it possible that there are no solutions?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I've said that already... ALL LP ROMs are using CM device tree. So the issue is present in all of them. Currently LP development has been put on hold for all major ROMs, because Android M will be launched in a couple of days. Nobody will develop a fix for this camera thing if it wasn't done already. This device is old and nobody has any incentive to develop for it anymore.

Saying this, I also announce that BrokenPOP development has been officially stopped for LP. Latest build is 3.8 and I'll make it these days as I'll have more time. Further LP builds will be made only if and when the dev team decides, but it could be they won't have the same weekly scheduled release.

If Ville will be supported in CM13,we might have the chance to see a Broken based on Android M...if not, as I said before, this is the end for support on this device. And this might be the same for all current ROMs.
