XTC2 clip is a more expensive way to get S-Off than Sunshine. It is capable of doing a lot of things, but very few users would ever find benefit. Most of us don't even need S-Off. If you're curious look here: http://www.xtc2clip.org/

help

Hi Im so noob in this thread, i have an A9 AT&T 1.27.502.5 unlocked bootloader what i need to get nougat? thanks for the help
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
This is probably not the best thread to be asking your question, as it is about a modified stock ROM. You should read through this thread: https://xdaforums.com/one-a9/general/wip-ruu-htc-one-a9-t3240344 and others you can find under the A9 topic.

Briefly, AT&T is not going to offer an update for your phone; they want to obsolete it quickly so you will renew your contract and buy a new phone (locked to AT&T for another 2 years). In order to get your phone onto a ROM that is actively supported you will need to convert it to a "Developers" phone (617 in the third number group) from an AT&T phone (502 in the third number group). This will require S-Off, and some study. After converting you will install the stock Developers ROM from the above thread, then take the updates to Nougat. Finally if you want to use this streamlined modification of the stock ROM you would install it over the stock ROM of the same version. Only the last bit is relevant to this thread, so please direct your questions to the previously mentioned thread, or other threads of interest. It will take some digging, but the info is there. Also do a search for the "Sunshine" app to get to S-Off.

Mirror updated... Thank you CSnowRules
[HTC One A9] ouioui01:
Ok, i'm waiting for your beta to test those goodies.

Cheers
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
my phone is a HIA_AERO_UHL, mid: 2PQ910000 , cid: HTC__034, on 2.17.401.2 ruu

I should convert it to a developer edition before this rom can be flashed ?
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Yes, you should convert to US unlocked with 2.xx firmware. Installation on other firmware is not supported.
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
[MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION] : thanks for spending time in this ROM, running smoothly ! Much appreciated.

Has any one tried debloating more aggressively?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Have at it... But if remove too many things... Ya may end up with a non booting device... Good luck... :good: :good:
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
I've read this entire thread over the past couple of days, are you referring to using SuperR's kitchen, as you said in some earlier post?

If not, could you outline what the preferred methoud would be?

At which point i could always restore the latest nandoid backup and start over, amirite ?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
If your wanting to make your own rom... By all means use superR's kitchen... But you may not use or publish anything I may have changed in this released ROM( IF is found to be using anything and its published... I will halt all future updates) If wanting to remove apps... As device is rooted use a file explorer and delete from system apps you do not want... No need to use kitchen for that.
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
is mounting system RO (read-only) in TWRP mandatory for this rom ?
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
No it isn't. DM-verity has been patched, and there's no OTA updates to worry about since this is a customized stock rom anyway.
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Hi everyone, I'm late to the game but I just installed this ROM on my A9. So far everything works great. The only oddness I've seen is that the HTC Weather app fails to update in the Google Play Store. Has anyone else seen this?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
No haven't heard or experienced this ever on any of the builds...
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
It's the only app to not want to update. I also went to APKMirror and downloaded the apk and it wouldn't install from there either. At the Play Store it says Error code: -505. The manual apk install says that it conflicts with an existing app of the same name.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Yes, I have had it for the last week or so. I was reluctant to say anything as I am not on the current release. I'll update and see what happens.

Greg
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
I'm on the latest release of this ROM. Thanks for stepping up. :good:
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
If its across multiple builds and just started... More than likely an issue with HTC released build on Play Store... And just tested on a RUU fresh flash... Errors out... HTC issue
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Issue with HTC release... As I posted above... Errors on a fresh RUU flash as well...
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Thanks for checking on it, WNC. I am really enjoying this ROM and I appreciate your efforts to make our little device work so well.

Wow, Magisk is really awesome. Snapchat was being a little turd and wouldn't let me log in. So I went in and hid Snapchat and now it's all good. First day using Magisk and I'm a believer. lol
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Glad it's not just me with the Weather.
[HTC One A9] DeadlyByNite:
It's an issue with HTC Print Studio. I just deleted it with TiB, reboot, install Weather from the Play Store. It seems like HTC Print Studio doesn't work anymore anyway.

[MENTION=5958244]megatomic[/MENTION] [MENTION=2190582]mrsubway[/MENTION]
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Worked! Thanks!
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
[MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION], would it be possible for you to remove HTC Print Studio from your ROM? It's been dead for a while anyways and I have been just disabling it. But now it seems like it might be the source of the problem with HTC Weather.

I'm going to install TIB and delete Print Studio manually but it might as well be gone from the ROM by default.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Its coincidental... its in the stock fresh ruu flashed device... No customizations... Still is an issue with HTC released update...As it wont update... That is not the issue...Theres something else going on...Its not the ROM...I will dig a bit into it.. but as I tested here on a brand new RUU flash 100% stock.. issue is still there..
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
It also appears to be being reported on playstore as not installing...
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
The playstore error -505 error is specific to Playstore... Am told it will be fixed eventually by Google...Did alil digging...
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Yeah, I did see that also.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Upon further digging... It is an issue with HTC Weather app on play store...Confirmation this morning... Should be fixed shortly...
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Also appears to have been pulled to be fixed from play store updates :good::good:
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Hey OP, the new stock ROM for hiaeul has been released.

I'll wait for your optimized work: :D

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-a9/news/

It mentioned about June security patch and system enhancement, sounds great...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I'll be waiting too. As I just started using this ROM, I have a question. When this is done can we just flash over the old ROM or is a wipe required? Untouched rooted stock was a pain, because it wouldn't take ota with root and Twrp. So, I had to use the RUU, which in turn wiped out root, apps, Twrp, etc. Pain in the ass! ??
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
If you are on May 6 release, I think you can install the new release directly. But just a tip, if you want to make your A9 decrypted, you should click "format data" in TWRP (not wipe, it's format), then you will get the permission to access data partition (a.k.a you will be able to backup/restore your data).

Moreover, I hope we will get a tweak option like ViperSettings. I want to hide navigation bar permanently and use fingerprint button as a multi-functional button: single-tap for "home", swipe for "back", double-tap for multi-task and long-press for voice assistant.
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
One feature I would PAY FOR is to hold back button to kill. I'd give anything! I miss that feature.
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
It was under developers options>advanced before, but it doesn't exist now. :/
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
[MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION], I am reluctant to ask but have you ceased development of your ROM or do you have plans to incorporate the newest version which is 2.18.617.30?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Real life takes precedence over a hobby/courtesy... It'll get updated when I have the free time...:cool::cool:
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Yes sir, that is the truth. Your reply answered my question though, thank you. :good:
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I have had ZERO issues with this damn ROM. Well worth the wait. Usually, if you're a fairly smart user, the security updates aren't a big deal. Then again, tell that to TMZ. I'm not J-Lo, and I doubt anyone wants my pathetic collection of single guy selfies.
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
I'm not single but yeah my photo gallery is really tame, no one wants to steal pics of my granddaughter. About the last update, I have no way of telling but the updater specified system enhancements AND the June security updates so maybe they did fix something worthwhile...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I could just use the RUU but then I have to restore and root. Too lazy. ?
[HTC One A9] gaurav tandel:
Can i flash only kernal of rom for speed tweaks??

Thank you.
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Reminder:

Some members reading this thread may not be aware of the origin of the OP's release. This all began with the OP's own tweaks and customizations to our stock rom that he use(d) personally, which he neatly packaged and posted here as a courtesy and contribution to the A9 community. The OP has moved on to another device for his primary use, but he is still kind enough to maintain this release when he has time.

What this is not:

This is not a feature-packed, fancy custom rom.

No features have been added, really. HTC's stock Sense framework is 100% intact. The OP's goal is to keep all stock functionality, remove some useless bloat, and include kernel/speed tweaks that improve the efficiency of the stock rom. He did add a couple things (HTC 10 camera, HTC Music) based on his personal preferences. Magisk is now also included for users' convenience.

In a Sense (pun intended), the OP's release is what the stock rom should have been.

ETA:

Please don't ask. It is bad etiquette in any courtesy-contribution-based setting.

On XDA, generally, it frustrates developers and deters future development. The OP doesn't get compensated for posting his releases here.

If you like the OP's releases, donate or contribute! This encourages future development.

I completely agree!

It's hard to tell, but I would be surprised if they included more than security patches. They always use the same vague, generic wording...

True...if having the update is more important than the enhancements the OP makes...

Personally, I'm waiting for his next release:good:

Technically, you could, but it may or may not work and would be completely unsupported here. Why not flash the whole release?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
That is not where most of the tweaks are located... So no that wouldn't help you
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Uploading .30 stock build... June Security Patch... Possibly a test build with "U" extras...maybe...
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Excuse me, how could I switch between them?

They're both added in the new release?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
They are included in the zip file for those who want them.. That is all that is meant by being included.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thank you CSnowRules for the constant mirrors... :cool: :cool:
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
You're certainly welcome!
[HTC One A9] hurricane128:
say does anyone know how to get viper4android installed after flashing this build? i either get an io error or it freezes and messes up my other apps and i have to reinstall the rom again

(update) my phone acts weird and unpredictably unresponsive whenever i try to install any audio-based plug-in despite doing a clean rom install
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
This a minimally tweaked stock ROM,I have changed nothing in it which would interfere with audio... And by the looks of Viper4Android... According to the website and thread... it hasn't been updated since Febuary of 2017 which would make it possibly outdated and incompatable with newer systems... Id suggest contacting that dev...

WNC
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
I haven't had Viper working on this device, on stock or WNC's build, Marshmallow or Nougat. This thread talks about it working with SELinux set permissive, but that would cause way more issues than it's worth to me.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thanks CSnowRules... Just want to add this....

Setting to permissive is not a suggested action... We are not responsible for anything that may occur by changing that setting... May want to read up on permissive vs enforced policy before choosing to do said action.

WNC
[HTC One A9] hurricane128:
what's odd is that it does the same thing when i try to install AM3D Zirene Sound, it just makes my phone laggy and unstable and then restarts itself when i try to install that for Viper

Dolby Atmos just crashes when i try to open it, the only one that seems to works is Dolby Atmos Classic
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
All of the apps you mentioned attempt to access parts of the device that the SELinux policy do not allow them to. These permissions are built into the stock kernel for security. The constant denial of permissions is causing the lag. Any substantial audio modification will require SELinux permissive (at your own risk!).
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Your new build is working GREAT. Even Netflix can't tell that my phone is not stock, thanks for that. I am curious about the "U" extras you may add. Can you spare some details about what you are maybe planning?
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
I converted my eu device to us unlocked then installed that. Seems good for now, thank you dude :)
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
First off let me say many thanks for making this rom available for this device. Great job!

On another note I'm trying to set this thing up for my bro and I have a few questions. Certain apps won't dl from the playstore for me. They just sit there saying downloading but it doesn't do it. Also I can't get any themes from htc downloaded. They display blank when I pull them up and then same thing... downloading but nothing. Btw I am signed in. And lastly I can't seem to uninstall any system apps. If this is because the rom it's basically stock then that's fine but I figured I'd mention it in case someone figured out how to do it. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks again for the rom!

Ps: I've tried some suggestions on Google for solving my downloading problem but clearing data and cache doesn't work. Some also say the sd card could be corrupt. Could it be that I don't have one installed?
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
I am waiting this rom's 7.1.2 build hope we can download it one day.
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
Well... by the looks of support for this phone I'd say we're pretty fortunate that we have Nougat at all. Lol. Of course it would be totally awesome to have 7.1.2 but I'm thinking we should be grateful for what we have. [emoji1]
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Of course we are :) I dont wanna 8.0 I just wanna 7.1.2 Should I be hopefull ?
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
I guess I am a bit greedier. HTC promised a minimum of 2 years of support, which would end about the first of December IIRC. "O" is currently coming out, so in addition to the security updates (Google just dropped a large one) I would like to see "O" for the A9. It seems to me that for $400 one should be able to expect a lot longer service life than 2 years, even if that is the expectation the networks and manufacturers would like us to have.

I am grateful to WNC for supporting the A9, even after he has personally moved on to another phone (which phone wooed you away, WNC?). I have had nothing but good experiences with his builds. They hit the sweet spot of retaining stock functionality while debloating and removing unnecessary/unwanted processes.

When I have to move on beyond the A9 I will pick a phone with greater support on XDA, as well as an easier battery change.

Thanks again WNC.

Greg
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
1. Thats Google Play store behaving weirdly.Check playstore settings to see if downloads are set to only Wi-Fi which is default.. Change to anytime,reboot and try again.

2. No clue @ themes... Nobodies else has reported any issues...

3. System apps have to be deleted via a file manager app I.e. ex file explorer

4. Sdcard wouldn't have anything to do with downloading apps unless they are installed to Sdcard and it was corrupted.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
IF it becomes available officially.. It'll be released
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I've only put a SIM card in the A9 to test... I've never used it as a daily driver... These are done strictly for y'all... Currently have the U11 and the UUltra as my dailies...
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Never know till it gets done what'll be in it...
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
Thanks for your help WNC. I tried changing the settings in playstore and rebooting. Still nothing. It's just strange that most apps downloaded fine but a few won't go at all. Theming is not a big issue, probably something in the playstore I can use anyway. I use X-plore file manager with root but it tells me the files are read only and won't let me delete them. For now I've just disabled the apps I don't want and that's working fine.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Ok so we tested the issues you said your having... All seems to be working fine... Suggest a full wipe and reflash...
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
Gotcha. ;) Once again thanks for taking the time to do that. I'll continue to play around with it so I guess another clean flash is not a bad idea.
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Hey everyone. Need some help here. I must enable LTE Band 20 (800 Mhz). How can I do this ? Before I install that rom I could use that band but now in usa version I cant :( Vodafone using it in our country.

Old cid: Htc__m27 Eu Version
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
No clue on this one... Wouldnt know where to point you...Possibly thats a firmware issue...Unsure... Sorry
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
As you have discovered, the only version of the A9 that supports LTE 20 is the European one (A9w). I seriously doubt it is a hardware issue, as the Qualcomm chip supports just about everything. It is probably a limitation of the radio firmware (a separate partition in the ROM). I have no idea if flashing the radio partition of the European edition would solve the problem, as it may not work with the US system and boot partitions, but that would be what to try. If you do be ready to at least install an RUU to recover, and there is a real possibility of bricking. Also, the US version customizes the phone during initial setup for the specific network, and it probably doesn't have the setup for your network. So unless you really know what you are doing, and are willing to take the risk of bricking, then go back if you need LTE 20.

If a Nougat version is available I would recommend flashing the EU version RUU (go back to where you started), then install TWRP and Magisk on your own. Then customize. Good luck.

Greg
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
August security update is out... No RUU yet... When available build will be updated...
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:

The stock exe of RUU is here, it's the same as the one I posted:

Maybe you mean the kernel source on HTCdev?

There is still only 2.18.617.30 for the latest.

Anybody know if the Magisk or regular Xposed works on this? I tried the Magisk module on stock, (not this ROM), and I got stuck on boot screen.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Read the first post: this ROM includes Magisk.
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I know. Sorry. I phrased that wrong. Does anyone know if the Magisk Xposed module works? Or, the regular Xposed zip installer? On stock, I rooted with Magisk fine. But, the Magisk Xposed module got my phone stuck on boot screen. I had to RUU. I know Magisk is here. Reading my post, I understand I worded it poorly.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I would imagine the modules need to be updated to work with the latest Magisk... Possibly why you had that issue...

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/xposed_25 is the module that fixed bootloop issues from description

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268 Read here...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Are we SDK 24 or 25?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Believe it's 24... 87.3 for SDK 24 has been updated in the thread... And if doesn't work then its an Xposed issue not being updated to work with latest security patch...Sorry can't help much more than that... Thats not a specific ROM issue... And I don't use Xposed or the device actually...lol

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
It's SDK 24, for Android 7.0; 25 is for 7.1 which has not been made available for the A9. (I hope HTC makes Oreo v8 available before it abandons us to our fate. At least they just released the source for the 7.0 (.21) kernel so AOSP ROMs have a chance...)

Greg
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I'll test it out over the weekend. Thanks. I'm reading about the stability issues. I may just skip it. I mainly wanted Xposed to get YouTube background play and no ads. Lucky Patcher doesn't work on the newest YouTube, but I found an APK that the dev absolutely ravaged that gives you background play AND no ads! ?? Gotta love XDA! I wish we'd get stock Oreo. Lineage is SOOOOOOOOOOO buggy! I love this stock ROM. I think this is as good as it will get for the A9. I'm happy. ?? Wonders knows his s**t.
