When [MENTION=6947422]CSnowRules[/MENTION] says its ready itll be released... I'm actually excited about this release alil bit... Lotta hrs went into what I think has been achieved...
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
:good::good: - Two thumbs up from me! It runs cooler with light use, better battery life with both screen on and screen off, plus it benchmarks slightly better in Antutu over previous .41 release! Very well done [MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION]!
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
We will be live shortly.. [MENTION=6947422]CSnowRules[/MENTION] ... Appreciate the testing done with this build and everything else ya do for this thread/community... Took me about 15 builds to get this... LOL... Hope it's enjoyed...

We have gotten about 2 hrs more battery life,lowered thermal output,increased device responsiveness and a 700 point increase in Antutu without a custom kernel... (Will vary with usage of course)... But over all I feel this is what the device should've been released as... Makes it not so much of a turd to use... So in short throw a Thank You or whatever to those who are still pushing this lil device to its max even after its been abandoned... Have a great weekend
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Thank you [MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION], your contributions are infinitely greater than mine. You've spent countless hours, tweaking, packing, flashing, and sharing for a device you no longer even use daily. The tiny battery in the A9 is it's biggest weakness, and you've substantially improved it.

On a side note, I wonder if we can get as much longevity out of the A9 as the Desire HD got... I still have a fully functional one with MM on it lol. :laugh:
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Anything's possible... :p:p
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Both links are live now... Enjoy Y'all...
[HTC One A9] Dragonkind:
Hey, WNC, as the final version of stock-based ROM released, would you like to maintain LOS 14.1/15 together with intervigil? ? There are some issues needing solved and you may even optimize its kernel like what you've done on stock-based ROM. Just an idea, feel free about it! ?
[HTC One A9] 2biT92:
Just a question, what should I do to flash this ROM on my a9, I've got the 2.17.401.2 with cid HTC__034 EU version , do I need to make it S-OFF ?
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Can I dirty flash or should I wipe data and system? I'm on the previous release of this ROM.

Edit: Nevermind. Did a full wipe, flashed and used TiBu to restore apps. So far, so good.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
S-Off and convert to developer
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Titanium Backup is horrible... If any issues arise full wipe is always suggested by me...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I did do a full wipe. What do you kids use to backup now? I usually have issues with TWRP. I'm running great right now. I'll report on battery life once I'm on the road.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Haha wish I was younger@ kids...I reinstall everything fresh after a wipe and flash... Leaves less room for things to not restore correctly and gives a better experience... Especially if using anything that would change or mess with what's been changed in release
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Can someone share battery life and s-on time screenshots ? I wanna use that rom.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Soff and conversion to us/developer device is needed,will not flash on a .401 device without conversion
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
Sure I'm s-off and I will change mid and cid. How is your battery life ?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Latest RUU needs to be run as well,NOT just cid, mid, changed. Read a bit back in the thread for battery life.Also be aware that some frequencies may or may not be available after doing conversion...Not responsible for anything that may go wrong. Good .luck...
[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
I tried this Rom before but now my battery really bad and I wanna try this again because it's updated now. Just wanna see your screen-on times and batery lifes.

One more thing. Should I wipe system and internal storage too ?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I don't know what you're expecting from the small battery of this device... You say your battery drain is bad right now... So flash and see for yourself... Battery life will very with each indivduals usage... Our testing showed about a 2 hr increase in battery life in comparison to stock RUU'd device. I would suggest wiping everything as you have been on another ROM and left over data can cause issues because of that.
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
I'll be honest. I wiped everything and I think the last build had FAR better battery life. It could be a quirk in my phone, but my battery seems to drain faster on this build.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Could also be restoring from titanium backup messed with something... The other builds weren't tweaked nearly as much as this one... And were pretty much stock...Anything is possible
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:

[HTC One A9] Nuroxy:
I am using this rom today 3rd day. I have same issue. Android System and Android Os always top of battery usage. 2.5 hours screen on time in 8 hours with wi-fi not lte. 1 hour 40 minutes screen on time in 6 hours with lte.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
It has a meager 2150mah battery... You will never get huge on screen battery numbers or any huge battery numbers for that matter. Android system and Android OS will always be higher thats the core of the phone operating system... You guys tell me what your expecting... Best testing results I've found was only 6hrs and charge from full to dead and needing a charge...28th very light usage you'll get a days usage outta it... Anything more than that... You'll need to charge to make it through the whole day... Bottom line
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Ultimately it all depends on how you use your device. Screen on and standby times were both improved in testing over stock with the same configuration. They were not HUGE gains, but any gain is substantial with the size of the battery in our devices.

Heavy CPU and network (cellular or Wi-Fi) usage (like playing certain games) will certainly drain the battery faster than playing locally stored music with screen on and visualisations, simply due to hardware limitations.

I could drain the battery in my A9 in under 2 hours on Wi-Fi with any rom.

The goal of the latest release is to squeeze as much efficiency as possible out of our devices without degrading performance, and I think it accomplished that quite well, while even improving performance in a couple aspects over stock.

Ultimately, use whatever rom/additional tweaks that work best for the way you use your device:cool:
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Unless their are security updates to be released this will be the last ROM I post... I've maintained this for over a year... And do not even use the device... Its been fun...

[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
You've done a fine job. I've tried Lineage. It's great if you don't mind the 649 bugs, a crap camera and **** sound! A button isn't enough, so I'd like to say thank you. :)

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------

True. Wifi is murder. What REALLY pisses me off about the A9 is the lack of a removable battery. With my Galaxy S5, I had two extra batteries and a rapid external charger. I'd just swap batteries. I love my A9, but I'll NEVER get another phone without a removable battery. I bought one of those 20,000mah USB beast batteries that can charge the space shuttle. I just keep it in my bag with a USB cable. ? After Hurricane Sandy, I don't mess around. I have two of 'em.

[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
That was FAST!
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Can this be dirty flashed with a cache and ART wipe?

Edit: Flashed zip, cleared cache and ART and after a long boot, (of course), BUTTER! Thank you for continuing to update this. Fine job as always Wonders!

I have a HTC One A9 (GSM International) (hiaeuhl)

Which is s-off on nougat and unlocked , is there any prerequisites to flashing this rom ?
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Please read the very first post (big red letters).

Other than that, no.
[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
That's where I'm confused lol

So can just flash this rom?

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

How can I check what firmware I have
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
May have to convert to U.S. Unlocked or Developer version first... I believe some have converted and it flashed fine... But note some bands may or may not be available after conversion
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Did you change your CID and MID to US unlocked and flash a Nougat RUU for US unlocked (ie. "convert")? If not, you'll need to do that first. There is a thread on the forum with instructions.

If you're still confused about what firmware you have, post the output of "fastboot getvar all" here. Remove your IMEI, of course.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thank you CSnowRules for the generous donation... Greatly appreciated my man...??
[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
OK great , thanks for the patience , is the ruu flash necessary if CID and MID are changed , I'm use to phones where you unlock and flash and that's it , I only have the a9 a few days
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Yes, that's the easiest (and safest) way to install the appropriate firmware required for conversion.

The A9 comes in 3 major variants, each with its own firmware base. You can use the US firmware on a Euro device with no problems. The supported cellular bands are defined by the hardware, so they will not change.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Yes, the RUU is necessary. Because you are changing the CID and MID you need to re-install all of the firmware, not just the boot and system firmware. The RUU contains additional firmware such as for the (cellular) radio, which may well have changed. WNC has been clear about the need to start with the current RUU then install his work over the top - his ROM does not include all of the firmware.

[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
Hey guys , how is the ram management/multitasking/app switching on this Rom, on my HTC a9 stock nougat it's woeful , 1 app and switch back and it's restarted again , everything loads , even if I'm in chrome and switch tabs the previous tab reloads when I go back to it ,
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
Multitasking works great on my device. Euro versions typically have only 2GB of ram vs 3GB on other versions, so that may affect multitasking.

I suggest that you try it and see how it goes.

[HTC One A9] Kumo2121:
Thanks for all of your work! Curious, what's the difference between the 1.57.617.20 and 1.57.617.32 firmware? Were there any significant updates?
[HTC One A9] Miramontes:
It is running great, very fast and stable, noticed a little lag when first boot but got a lot better after a few minutes, it was probably because I did a clean install, the usb transfer issue is fixed, without need to install kernel from fastboot, thank you :o :o

Still waiting to try some Sense 8 features though hehe... :p
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
its a midrange device, have to let everything load@first boot then alls good, glad its working well for you... Sense 8 stuff will probably be worked on/tested after 10th...
[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
Me again lol

OK so looking into this and flashing this Rom

So if change to super CID

And change to correct MID

Can I then flash this ruu from here http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...4.1836039897.1499599428-1468744157.1486469825 to convert to USA with latest firmware , then flash twrp again and flash the Rom from this post

Also because the phone is converted what version of twrp can I install
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
The latest 3.1.1-0 works great.
[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
How do I flash the ruu , do I run the ruu exe with phone on or in download mode ?

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Also thanks for your patience
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
If change cid,mid to US/Dev variant... Use RUU that is current with your devices... i.e. Yours is on Nougat 2.1X,Flash U.S./Dev Nougat RUU. Id think if device is converted youd use appropriate recovery for U.S./Dev device.I always run the RUU in download mode.
[HTC One A9] kieranc88:
All done and successfull, hardest rom I ever did flash lol
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Enjoy...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Okay. I'll try to post a screen later, but I seem to be getting better battery life from this update. I was browsing on wifi intensively for an hour and barely lost 10%. I know the A9 has a small battery, but that's good for my phone. I WISH they had one of those external battery cases for the A9 like they have for the M9. I bought a twelve foot charging cable so I can lay in bed and browse for hours while plugged in!

Question. I know there's an Xposed module, but I'm not messing with Xposed. Is there a way to disable the screenshot safety check?

Hi guys, I've successfully flashed this on an Att A9 (thanks for that btw) and everything works great however I wanted to remove a few system apps and can't seem to access the system folder with file explorers. I'm not familiar with Magisk but shouldn't it work similarly to SuperSU?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
You still have to grant permissions...
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Even with Root Explorer, you have to grant the app root permissions. Usually when any app attempts something that requires root, Magisk will give you a prompt. I use TIBU to nuke system apps. Yeah, I know you youngsters aren't too big on Titanium Backup. I'm old. ?
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
Yeah I tried that. The file explorer had all permissions granted but still couldn't find the system folder. I didn't think of trying TiBu. I'm just used to superSU asking for permission and being done. We ended up just disabling the apps and hiding them from the app drawer. It's only a few wasted megs but it works for now. Thanks for your help guys.
[HTC One A9] mrsubway:
Is Magisk installed properly? Also, just curious. Are you S-Off?
[HTC One A9] Pete02:
I'm not sure really. I'm not familiar with Magisk at all. The device is s-off and running the new firmware. All I did was wipe the device and flash the rom. If there was any other steps involved I missed it but everything else is working great.
