Do you have to be S-Off to flash ViperU? I just purchased a unlocked U11 from HTC direct to use on T-Mobile but it has been so long since I have rooted a phone (last time was when I got my HTC One M8 when it first came out) and just cant remember what I need to do.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe_the_man:
Hey Guys! Just got my U11 and can't wait to run some venom on here like I had on my M8 (been awhile). 2 quick questions: 1. I did a system update to latest 1.28.617.6, can I still flash Viper 1.8 even though its base is 1.27.401.10?

2. I just flash TWRP then flash rom and aroma will install root files right?

Thanks!!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
Do not have to be S-off. Go to www.htcdev.com and go through the bootloader unlock process.

Then flash TWRP custom recovery

Make a backup (optional)

Place Viper 1.8 rom on your phone internal storage or SD Card and flash away

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Yes, first unlock bootloader through www.htcdev.com process, then install twrp and then flast Viper rom.

PS, this rom is freaking awesome...
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] DroidEVO:
I can not for the life of me find the info that someone on here once gave me about creating a folder in "C:" (C:\Android) that had three files in it for ADB. I'm pretty sure one of them was fastboot, but can't remember what the other files were. This was the folder I used to start command prompt from to perform all the fastboot commands.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
adb was the other file in the folder. Not sure what the 3rd one was or if it is necessary. You can get those files by downloading the latest sdk tools folder.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] swagglepuff:
Any word if you guys will be adding support for the U11 plus? Considering getting it when it is finally launched, only if it has viper support. That's the only way to use an HTC device.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
It's development wise a dead device already, like the U Ultra. Community will be really small and not worth the time to work on it.

Also neither I or another our devs will get it. No device = no rom.

Even the community size on the U11 is the worst we ever had on a device.

We do not even have 1000 active users. M7 had nearly 100.000.

Custom rom scene seems to die.

Reasons?

1. Devices getting more expensive and people are afraid of loosing warranty.

2. Rooting and flashing custom roms without breaking stock features is getting harder. Like it is breaking safety net what breaks Android pay and lots of other apps..sure there is magisk to bypass it at the moment..no none knows how long it will be still possible. But some people are too newb or lazy to read up on that and just simply decide to not root their device.

3. Stock Android is getting better and better, a lot of people can now go without a custom rom.

I decided myself that the U11 will be the last HTC device for me and the last device I will provide a rom for.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] swagglepuff:
Can't talk you into the essential phone lol, I guess it has to be available for that to happen first. I always enjoyed using your roms even thou I got to the game late. I have actually started to teach myself how to program in my spare time, I can credit the majority of that towards the viper rooms and seeing first hand what you can do. Thank you for that and thank you for the great roms!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sirioo:
I hope you change your mind
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
There is no reason to.

Don't see why I shall further sacrify my freetime for a handful of users instead spending time with my family.

Also there were already a few months where the server costs where higher than the amount of donations.

So I need to pay out of my own pocket to provide you a rom, lol.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sirioo:
will the venom team move on another device or disappear?

if the cost of servers is higher than donations , you could ask for fundraising as for buying the u11
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
I will dissapear, most likely venom too.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] DroidEVO:
:crying::crying::crying: Fully understandable...but of course my luck since I just bought the U11. There is no other ROM out there with the customization that Viper has.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
Sad day HTC should have offered you and the team a high paying job a long time ago. I remember the first days of the Pokemon rom (Glad you changed to Viper, lol) It's been a pleasure sirs.

Larger caller id from dark theme

Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to take the resourses.arsc file from the dark theme and push it to the necessary place with Root Explorer to make large caller id photo work with stock theme. Anyone have any insight to where this should go and what permissions need to be set?

I am assuming that is what needs to happen to make it work. If not, I'm open to suggestions.

Hey guys,

I installed Xposed which breaks Safetynet and now I want to change the model number from HTC U11 to SM-N920C (I found that this method helps to bypass Android Pay).

I installed the module "Device ID Masker Free" and changed the line "Current model" to SM-N920C and rebooted. But it still HTC U11 (see screenshots).

I changed line ro.product.model=SM-N920C (used Root Explorer) in build.prop, it saved successfully but it is still HTC U11 in item "Phone identity" and Android Pay doesn't work.

What is wrong? I use Viper 1.8.0 Magisk version.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] ravish_919:
Hey [MENTION=4905624]j to the 4n[/MENTION] ! I'm having an issue with Magisk. Hope you can help me out.

So right after the first flash (clean flash) after I boot it up, I usually debloat/remove the stuff which I don't need from /system. So I grant Solid Explorer root permissions and try to delete the stuff but I get an error saying unable to remount the file system under "system" (Screenshot below). Is there anyway to fix this? I've been having this problem since ViperU11 1.4.0
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] donmarkoni:
If I may...

I'm not absolutely sure, cause I don't use it, but IIRC Solid Explorer has a problem, as some other file manager some of us from Team use. Please try another. I always recommend Total Commander (which I use), but Xplore and Root Browser Classic work too (tried both).
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] ravish_919:
Well I'm able to delete files from /system on my M8 (rooted with Magisk) using Solid Explorer, but sure I'll give it a try using the other explorers which you've mentioned and get back to you. Thanks!

Hi i was using 1 Year the xiaomi Mi Mix 6/256GB Version. Now i have a HTC U11 and my Battery life is Terrible......

With AutoSync on and Location on i will have Battery 1 Day.

If i Deactivate Autosync and make Location settings to Batterysaving i will get 1-2 Days.

How is the Batterylife with Venom Rom?

Greets Tom

If someone Speaks German u can Text me a PN pls? :D
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
The issue appeared with the previous last base that /system can't be mounted.

You could boot to recovery, mount /system and use thr twrp file manager to delete system apps.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:
Xposed issues are not supported here, but just for your info you will not be able to pass SN whenever Xposed is active
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
Especially with the PNP mod it is better for sure

You can install it from venomhub
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] smallKING81:
It's not Xposed's issue. As I wrote, I changed the line from ""ro.product.model=HTC U11" to "ro.product.model=SM-N920C" using Root Explorer manually in build.prop, it saved successfully but it is still "HTC U11" in item "Phone identity" and Android Pay doesn't work. Therefore, I think that smartphone takes information about model number not from file "build.prop" and I need to get confirmation from developers.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
all info on the about page is pulled from the build.prop.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Black-FR:
It's a issue of solid explorer and their binary, which they use to remount system.

Since the August security patch, this remount doesn't work anymore.

I already did send a log to the app developer, but didn't get any response.

Maybe you could send some log to them too.

If you use e.g. "root explorer", it will work fine and without issues.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe_the_man:
Hey Guys! Thanks for the awesome ROM. First time back since the M8 days. Anyways, is anyone else having an issue with the ringer volume putting itself on silent? I'm on the latest 1.8 and came from stock with full wipe. I'l have my volume set on max and once in a while, I'll check my phone and I see it's now on silent mode.

Also, how can I remove Facebook? It installed in aroma even though I requested it not be and I can't get rid of it even with rooted app removal apps.

Thanks
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
PnP mod from the Hub works very well. But a full day of battery life seams to be pretty reasonable, I'd say far from terrible.

Are you trying to extend the battery life just for the sake of getting better battery life? Or can you not charge your phone up at the end of the day?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] VeRychard:
Hey everyone. I was searching around without success, so I'm inquiring whether anyone succeeded with connecting their U11 (Dual SIM) to any external screen via HDMI (MHL) with the Viper ROM?

I have tried a USB-C > DP adapter, and also a USB-C > HDMI adapter. Both of them failed to give the expected result.

Before I had an M8 HTC, which was working flawlessly with the USB->HDMI adapter.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] ravish_919:
Yeah that was the last resort, which I was planning on doing. Thanks anyway!

Well I tried it with multiple file explorers, for example Total Commander, Root Explorer etc. but none of them worked out for me. I've attached a screenshot also. Thanks anyway!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
told you, do it in TWRP recovery. mounting system got broken for all file explorers I know.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
I get two days easily with my usage behavior.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
Agreed
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] donmarkoni:
Try this: go in settings and check "use root functions everywhere", find button "R" in button bar on bottom and hit it, it will ask you to mount system rw, after that button will show RW. Try if you can do it then...
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Antoz1103:
Yeah thats my main Problem. i use a Batterypack to charge it up so i have a 2nd day of Battery Life. but i want it to extend it so i can Charge every 2 or 1 1/2 days. With the Xiaomi Mi Mix it was no Problem. after 2 Days i had mostly 10% left :D but it has also an 4400mah battery. I only wanna know if i move from my Stock HTC Rom to this with an extra Kernel or is the Standart Kernel good enough so i get a little bit better Battery Performance. Sry if my english suxx its hard for me. I am from austria and its not the best english :D

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] android_patrizian:
Connecting monitors or projectors work without any problems with this rom: with an HDMI adapter or an usb-c hub (I have three different hubs) with a HDMI port and even with a VGA adapter in between.(This was one of my main reasons to buy the U11.) I tested a lot of combinations: all worked. I guess it's hardware related on your side.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] oldgringo:
Small side note - there is a link to HTC 10 TWRP file in the first article (in the Installation section under expandable button). In the next one (about Magisk) is the correct version for HTC U11.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
Cool. With the PnP mod on viper, my battery life was extended significantly. Using stock kernel and no PnP mod I would take my phone off the charger at 6 am and by 10 pm would have about 15% battery left with normal usage.

With stock kernel and PnP mod I would take my phone off the charger at 6am and at 10 pm would have about 40% battery left.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Antoz1103:
WOW Thats alot man! i think. Do u have Autosync on or off? And ur Location Settings to?? Mine is oAutosync off and Location is on Batterysaving.

How about with a other Kernel? U tested it?

Greets Tom
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
Autosync is on, location settings are set to high accuracy. Haven't tried PnP mod on another kernel.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Antoz1103:
And with that Settings u get from 6 am to 10pm 40% batterylife.......

When i disconnect at 6 am and using Autosync and location on high i have at 7pm 10% ;D and i only use my phone with Whatsapp to text over the day ...... nothing else.....

Crazy i need to Unlock S-off root ect. and then flash this fuc..... rom :D
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] rom116:
S-off not necessary to flash the rom, i am still S-On.

I need to ask you guys for just a little advice, I originally had the 4gb model but with the Verizon issues I wasn't sure i wanted to keep the U11 so I sent it back for a refund and reordered the 6gb model to try it for another 30 days, hoping the Verizon issues would get fixed. With my 4gb model, on Viper and the PnP mod I was getting the amazing battery life you guy's are speaking of. Now I get about 10 hours and the PnP mod doesn't seem to make any difference. This was happening when I ran straight stock for a while as well. I have Alexa and HTC assistant disabled and all my other apps optimized with Boost+. I keep auto brightness set to halfway, have location off or on battery save. I just wonder if I got a bum device or if that is possible, or if there is anything else I can do. Don't want to make a big issue out of this, it's just really bugging me. Wish I would have kept my first device lol. I wonder if the 6gb eats up more battery? I do know cell standby uses the most so it's probably just my signal action.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] norgan:
Turn off boost+
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] LibertyMonger:
Wow, really? I'd love to but thought it was a good thing lol. It won't let me disable it, maybe I will just uninstall it. I don't think that is it, I used Boost+ on my 1st device and it was great.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
it is already in the 1.8.0 fullrom?

You need to understand that for everyone here the WWE is the base rom. carrier specific stuff just gets merged into the WWE ROM..really just some minor bits.

Altough the WWE base version number is lower...it is actually newer. At least ist has the Oct. Security Update and Sprint just September.

May i ask for a feature? Is it possible to phone calls interrupt playing media on headphones? I can't hear my calls. This happens when i'm using my headphones on silent mode with vibration. It would be ok if it can switch to full sound mode or whatever it's called when headphones attached as an alternative solution.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] darkenedpath:
No way. You may not develop, or carry on with the rom, but you and all who have been part of the team won't ever disappear. Anyone who knows the best custom Roms will think of venom. So I'm sure your names will never go away. Loved these Roms a long time. Hate to see them go, but that's the harsh reality of XDA. Thanks to the whole team, Itll be a while, but beforei upgrade from the 10 to any other device, I'll get the 11, only because of this rom. Hope that's enough butt kissing for you. I'd go back to my rezound with viper before anything else.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] ivicask:

In the Hub using Chrome on Windows, I'm showing my phone twice, with two different keys associated with it. I want to remove one, because my phone definitely doesn't have two hardware keys.

Can you dirty flash again and then pull the /tmp folder in recovery.

i was trying to get xposed installed, ran into some problems and was wondering if it’s romrelated (as i can’t quite figure out "where to start debugging" ..) - tried it three different ways:

using xposed installer 3.0.1 by dvdandroid. installing the "official" one from rovo seems to work there, xposed status says "installed" and activated, though each module i tried (minminguard, bootmanager, for example) says "xposed not running".

next up: when i try to install topjohnwu’s systemless xposed from there instead, it gets downloaded and reboots into recovery .. but doesn’t install anything, twrp just sits there until i manually reboot.

next up: when i try to install topjohnwu’s systemless xposed as a magisk module from magisk manager instead, it DOES get installed just fine (after a reboot), and even xposed installer tells me that xposed is installed and running, but then i’m back at the point where all of the modules tell me that xposed isn’t activated/running.

what am i doing wrong? i’ve looked for similar reports in the magisk- and xposed-threads, but couldn’t find any. any suggestions on how to "debug" where the problem might be? using viperu 1.8.0, firmware 1.27.401.10, magisk 14.0, magisk manager 5.4.0, ..

any help appreciated!

with JIT (just in time) optimization it shouldn'T take long.

Last resort is RUU, restore backup and flash latest fullrom.

be sure to backup your nandroid to your external sdcard though, or your computer, because RUU wipes internal sdcard,
