Hello. We're the developers behind Clarus Battery. While we've seen moderate success, with the original app, we had a hard disk failure and lost most of the code along with the keystore we used to sign the app.
We're re-releasing the app with the original app name but a different package name (Clarus.Battery.rr). This is a significant re-write of our original code.
What is it?
Clarus battery is a minimal, transparent battery/temperature widget. The colors below Charge/Temp change based on their values from Green (Very Good) to Red (Bad).
Features:
- Background colors/alpha can be changed
- Text colors can be changed
- Launch apps from the widget
- 1x1 and 2x1 widgets
- Color themes for light and dark backgrounds
- Options to display/hide battery icon, health
- Option to show charging icon
Known Issues:
- Multiple widgets of the same size can't be added as of now. This will be fixed in a subsequent release
The app can be found in the market by searching for "Clarus Battery" or "pname:Clarus.Battery.rr". (I can't post external links as a new user).
The original app has been renamed to "Clarus Battery - OLD".
Others:
We really do appreciate the downloads we have seen thus far. A few users have wondered whether we accept donations. While we appreciate the sentiment, we're not doing this for the money. We'd much rather you donate to your favorite charity.
Thank you.
Best.
Could you please add option to remove (or make transparent) the horizontal line between charge and numbers. Really impressed though, still deciding between this and battery status text
Thanks
ooo this is pretty nice.

Done. We added a menu option called "Hide Horizontal Lines".
Blimey that was quick, many thanks
Great App....Looks and works Great Thanks
Installed it. Love it. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Great app. I love how simple it is. I might would change the battery icon.

A few suggestions for the next update/release...
I've been using the "old" version until I saw this posted. Great minimalistic app and I really like the configurability it provides. Also, you were featured in the "Best Apps Of The Week" blog post over @ Android Police.
Just to offer a few suggestions for the next update...
- Allow a shadow option for the text
- Allow for custom horizontal line color choices
- Allow different color options for each text label (Charge | Temp)
- Allow different color options for each status display (Charge% | TempDegrees)
- Allow for the display of both/one/none for the Heath & Battery icons (Perhaps make the health appear over the Temp side and the battery icon over the Charge side when 'Both' is selected)
Also, can you explain what the "Themes" option actually does? I've selected both and haven't noticed a change in the widget at all.

And please do the same for Clarus Signal
Giving the Signal App the same option to hide horizontal line would be a great first step indeed

We should be able to add most of this in the next release. We'll have to figure out a better way to show multiple icons though (i.e. battery icon/ health). Allowing custom colors for the horizontal lines may have to be pushed back a little, but we do plan on implementing it.
The themes change the saturation of the colors of the horizontal lines and the battery icon. We added this option to ensure that the widget 'worked' with both light and dark backgrounds. The light theme works with light backgrounds and the dark theme works with dark backgrounds.

We're currently working on Clarus Signal and will be re-releasing this in the market soon. We've lost the code/keystore for this too.
We'll also create a new thread for Clarus Signal once we release the app.
Been using both Clarus widgets, and I love them. The only problem I have is that they do not align correctly with each other. Clarus signal's text and horizontal lines are higher then Clarus battery.
Other than that, loving them.

Could you send us the screenshot either here or to [email protected]?
They should align as long as icons are enabled/disabled on both widgets.
THANKS!

We expected you were displaying Battery Health. We'll fix this in the next update for Clarus Battery. Thanks for the screenshots.
They'll align if you don't display Battery Health.
Is it possible to give the font a bold option?

This will be included in a further update. We expect to allow separate customization for all text sections of the widget(s).
thnx!!!!!!!!!!
I normally don't start threads as most issues I have someone else has started one or I search and find the answer else where...but I really wanted to recommend an app to those of you that may be unaware of it. Also, for themers or people that like to play around customizing their homescreens. So far I have found it to be highly customizable.
I found it the other night and so far have been really impressed with it.
Elixir2
I had used Elixir (the original) in the past and didn't care for it, but the guy has made some really cool improvements and I am pretty impressed with it.
I know its subjective and to each their own, but I bet there are a handful of you that are like me and can really utilize it.
I use Widgetsoid alot, but may have found a replacement, as the Widgetsoid developer hasn't released an update in awhile. Also, Elixir2 has more custom icons.

BUGS
Pls use our google issue tracker to report bugs and request features. Thx!
Team Venom - ViperOneS: Google Issue Tracker
Download the Boot.img Flash Script from http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390275921635705217
Download the Rom
Extract the Boot.img Flash Script on your PC
Connect your One S to the PC (USB Disk Mode), copy ViperOneS_xx.zip (the ROM) to your HTC One S
Connect your One S via USB and ensure you have HTC Sync installed, you need the drivers to be able to use fastboot
Uncheck fastboot in Settings->Power, then shut down your HTC One S completely (don't reboot, shut it down).
Press and hold volume down, then press power (keep holding volume down!) until your screen shows the hboot menu, navigate to recovery (use volume keys)and press the power button once to jump into recovery mode.
In Recovery choose install zip from sd -> choose zip file and navigate with your volume buttons to the downloaded Rom and hit power and confirm with yes.
Now the Aroma installer should show, if you have the touch recovery installed you can use your screen to navigate through it, otherwise use the volume buttons and confirm with the power button.
IMPORTANT: if you come from another Rom, pls choose FULLWIPE
After you configured it, reboot to your bootloader in fastboot mode
Now go to your extracted Boot.img Flash Script folder:
Depending on your OS of your PC you need to run the file like normal:
Windows: flash-boot-windows.bat
MAC: flash-boot-mac.sh
Linux: flash-boot-linux.sh
When the commands were successful, press power again to go back to the hboot
Navigate with your volume button to "Recovery" and reboot or reboot via cmd with "fastboot reboot"
Finally we highly recommend specifically for One S to boot again in recovery and wipe cache. Please do that also, whenever you flash any addons or mods – always boot your device first, then boot again in recovery and wipe cache.
Recommendation - with "Flash Image GUI" from joeykrim you can alternatively flash boot.img on your device, no need to fastboot anymore - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954121&page=2
Please guys, I really understand you bunch of flashoholics
but before you flash any mods, better ask in the thread, whether these might break any features of this ROM.
You can be 100% sure to create issues, if you flash:
Framework mods (means all apk`s and jars in framework)
SystemUI mods (Statusbar)
Dialer / phone mods
Rosie mods (Launcher)
IME mods (Keyboard)
Music mods
Lockscreen mods
Message mods
So unless the mod does not explicitly state, THIS IS FOR VIPER ONE S 2.1, leave your greedy flash fingers in the pocket.
Thank you for your attention and we hope you enjoyed your flash

...presents you viperOneS rom!
If you didn't flash the rom yet...you will regret it. It's the most featured and most innovative sense rom out here on the HTC One S forums.
Some user comments:
I have been pretty silent on the the 'ROM Scene' as of late, but I feel obligated to say that this ROM is BAD ASS!!!
If you are a doubter or have been faithful to any other chefs ROMs...
...This is the ROM that is worth jumping ship and worth giving a test drive. Since I flashed, I have not had a desire to flash back or the desire to flash another ROM!

But I told my self to read a little here in ONE S Section to see how the development and theming are going for this new device...

Q: My WiFi is not working correctly?!
A: Flash WiFi Partitions from the developement forum!
Q: How do I install the Rom?!
A: Installation instructions are in the 5th post at the bottom.
Q: What`s the md5 sum thing?
A: It ensures, that the Rom is downloaded correct and completely to avoid weird issues when installing/using the Rom. Google for "md5 sum checker" and you should find what you need.
Q: My phone stucks on HTC splash screen
A: "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot and flash the boot.img or use the boot.img flasher provided here.
Q: Whats the boot.img. Why we need to flash it?
A: The boot.img is the kernel and has to be flashed if you want your Rom running well. HTC Dev Unlock doesn`t allow to install the kernel directly when installing the Rom in recovery, that`s why you need to install it manually.
Q: I found a theme or mod, will it work on this rom?
A: It's NOT recommended to use mods/themes that don`t clearly state, that they are compatible with our Rom. Themes/Mods always use framework files which will break mods/stuff in our Rom.
Q: My question is not listed here, what to do?
A: Ensure you used the xda search, google and your brain before asking a question in the thread. If you can`t find an answer yourself we will answer your question for sure! (-:
Q: What`s that CM Status Bar brightness mod?
A:
Q: Why does the CM Status Bar brightness mod not work on my device?
A: Make sure Auto Brightness is NOT activated
Q: Why do I have an empty space in EQS?
A: Just hide NFC in tweaks hide n reorder, our device does not support NFC
Q: Why does show unlock animation not work?
A: It DOES work as long as you`ve been on homescreen before you locked and have the clock widget there.
Q: Why is infinite scrolling sometimes laggy and I even see an empty screen?
A: The implementation is still buggy, but we left it on user request.
Q: What`s the Ultra/smooth Rosie?
A: Your HTC Widgets got some kind of 3D effect which may make your Rosie laggy. You can see that 3D effect clearly on the HTC 4x4 Weather widget.
Smooth: Flattens all widgets besides the one you start scrolling
Ultra: Flattens all widgets for best performance
Q: The cube effect isn't working on the app drawer
A: The cube effect just appears when you swype from the all tabs over to the frequent to the download tab.
Q: Volume wake isn`t working after some time when the device is in deep sleep.
A: This is a kernel issue, no way I can fix it in the Rom.
Q: How do I know whether a tweak needs a reboot to work?
A: Usually the white reboot button top right corner will turn white. Just press it and your device or Status bar will reboot and apply the tweak.
Q: I have problems ending a call, problems with lags when making a call, or low volume issues.
A: Some users reported that it`s related to the fine/finest volume tweak. Set it to normal to fix your issue.
Q: I have Dialer or other FC after a mod/Theme/Rom flash?
A: Always fully boot your device first, then boot again in recovery. One S creates some cache issues after flashes, which most of the time are solved when wiping cache in recovery.
Q: I need someone repackaging a kernel
A: Kernels don`t need to be repacked for our Rom. We don`t have ramdisk tweaks. So you are able to flash the kernel straight from the kernel devs thread.
Q: What are the correct sizes for the app drawer and notfication pulldown background?
A: Try 540x960.
Q: What are the correct sizes for custom carrier logo?
A: Try 100x100
Q: Why are there not enough custom options in Status Bar and Sense Theming section?
A: Click on GET MORE first and install your favorite theme packs first .
Q: What`s the Venom Hub?
A: The Hub is the place, where you can download and install new themes, icon or font packs.
Q: I want to apply new custom Status Bar logo?
A: Again - the Hub is the place or make your own and choose it from your SD.
Q: Why do I need the additional addon package?
A: You don`t need iit, but it saves you the hassle to download the full ROM, if you only want to remove bloatware or add useful stuff like new boootanimations, fonts or AOSP apps.
Q: I installed Venom Red Theme on 1rst ROM installation, but I don`t see anything red?
A: You need to activate Skin under personalize, Status Bar and Sense Themes in Tweaks app first.
Q: Will there be CRT On/OFF support in the next release?

[19.02.2013] Venom Viper One S Tweaks documentation
Venom Viper One S Tweaks Documentation – a venomous “Guide to the Galaxy”
Tweaks for Version 2.1.0.0
Intro
The Tweaks enable the user to modify many aspects of the Android and Sense system. Since these are all non-generic things, meaning not authored, tested and verified by HTC, they can and will contain bugs and can and will cause issues on your device. However, we are trying to even out as many of them as possible over time. You are welcome to report any problems to us. Before you report, go through this document and check if it’s already a known thing. It is also a good idea to check the FAQ section before.
The Tweaks consist of two Apps. One is the actual tweaking App, which is responsible for executing the tweaks and one is the Venom Hub, which serves the contents. Both are linked up. You can access the Hub from within the Tweaks App. Once you downloaded content in the HUB and pressed install, you can change to the Tweaks App and select your content there for activation.
This Document covers only the actual Tweaks App!
Disclaimer
You read and understood the above, hence you are aware that these modifications will void your warranty and you are the sole responsible person for these changes. We do not accept any responsibility for damage to your device, software and/or personal data stemming from your use of the tweaks app or the HUB and content. We neither accept any claims concerning damage to your private life in consequence of excessive Viper Contact. This is defined as addiction and needs a psychiatrist. We also do not pay lawyers for divorce cases resulting from wife neglect.
Document Logic:
The Document-logic changed since last version to better reflect the Tweaks-App.
The Tweaks App has a title bar at the top, its functions in the middle and a Tab-Bar at the bottom.
The title bar has a caption reading the current ROM Name and Version at the left hand side and a square button at the right side. This button is essential. It shows a white circle which is grayed out if you can enable a tweak without a reboot or Sense/Statusbar restart and it turns white as soon as that would be required. Watch this button. If you see it active (white), it is good to use it right away (before enabling more tweaks) to ensure correct execution of the Tweak. If you don’t, it can cause issues sometimes.
The middle part can have several sections separated by Headlines, containing various tweak functions or links to a “subpage”. Definition of “subpage”: It can either be a full page with functions and/or links to a sub-subpage, it can also be a list or it can be a pop-up.
The Tab-Bar has 8 Tabs.
We will now go through the 8 Tabs sequentially, starting left. For each Tab, the subpages will be titled as they are in the App and follow the main page description.
Roman numbering from I to VIII for the tabs, normal numbers from 0-9 for the Tab’s Items and letters from a-z for the subpage-items. So a Tab is I, a Tweak Item is I.1., a subpage-item to that Tweak Item is I.1.a
The gray Headlines will not be numbered but be typed out bold.
Tab I: “About”
The Titlebar shows a link to the XDA Thread instead of the reboot option.
The middle-section shows links to the main developers and their Profiles, also their donate link.
I.1 . Profiles:
I.1.a: Profiles Page Headline has a 3-dot Menu Item for import and export tweaks settings at the top right. Export leads to all settings being exported to sdcard\venom\profiles\settings.db. Import leads to import of settings from the same file.
Notice: This function is NOT compatible to the Tweaks App from ROM Version 1.0.0.0!
I.1.b: Profiles page shows tweaks defaults which can always be used to revert back to defaults. It’s entry cannot be deleted or renamed.
I.1.c: Profiles page bottom line shows “Close” at the left and “Save current” at the right, “Save Current” will save your current settings to the same “settings.db” as the export function, but will ask you to give a name to your save and then show it below the “Tweaks defaults”.
I.2. Bug report
I.2.a Bug Reports headline shows title and an arrow to navigate one level up in tweaks.
I.2.b Middle section explains how it works, shows text only.
I.2.c bottom Line shows “Start recording” which launches a Recorder-App that records all LogCat lines until you press Stop in the Status-Bar. The Logs are saved to sdcard/venom/BugReports/report_yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.zip, you can upload those logs to any filehost and send them to your dev.
I.3 Buy ViperX+ Pro is a link to the playstore so you can donate $ 1,- to Viper. It will get rid of the nag screen at launch time. This currently still only works for ViperX+ Pro!

VII.2. Item: “Zipalign all APK’S” - Runs the “zipalign” process on all user apk’s. This can be handy as not all App Devs do a zipalign and that makes the APK behave bad on memory. Zipaligning them can make them run better in memory.
VII.3. Item: “Fix Widgets” – forces sense to rescan its widgets. This can be used if you notice that some widgets are missing.
Headline: System
VII.4. Item: “Mount Sytem r/w” - Mounts the System with Read and Write permissions for file browsers. This can potentially be dangerous because malware could abuse that but on the other hand, it’s helpful too if you like messing with your system and malware could also execute this command anyway, since you already run the device as root user.
VII.5. Item: “Disable Logcat” - disables the logcat of the system. Makes it a little faster and use a wee bit less juice but you won’t be able to provide your Dev with a LogCat if you have problems. These logs are incredibly helpful for debugging. So just try it out if it betters anything for you.
Headline: Wipes
VII.6. Item: “Wipe Cache” - As the name suggests, this wipes the cache partition. Saves you a reboot into recovery.
VII.7. Item: “Wipe Dalvik Cache” - See above!
Headline: Fonts

VII.10. Item: “Custom Down Animation” - Same as above for down animation.
Tab VIII: “CPU”
Shows a “Get more” button at the top right which brings you to the Hub’s Kernel download section
VIII.1. Item: “Apply settings on boot” – automatically re-applies settings at boot time if necessary. This function includes a boot-loop protection in case any of the settings is incompatible and leads to a boot-loop.
Headline: File system
VIII.2. Item: “I/O Scheduler” – lets you pick your preferred I/O Scheduler. If you don’t know what it is, leave it alone or Google it.
VIII.3. Item: “Read ahead size” – Slider to adjust the read-ahead buffer for the SD Card. If you don’t know what it is, leave it alone or Google it.
Headline: CPU/Kernel Settings
VIII.4. Item: “CPU Governor” – lets you pick any of the available Governors. Depends on the used kernel. You don’t know what the governor does? Then leave this alone or google android governors.
VIII.5. Item: “CPU Min Frequency” – this is a slider that lets you define the lowest frequency the CPU can drop down to. Stock is 384, anything below usually works but could cause issues.
VIII.6. Item: “CPU Max Frequency” – this is a slider that lets you define the highest frequency the CPU can rise up to. Stock is 1512MHz, anything above that is depending on the kernel you run and can cause issues like sudden reboots, apps FC, overheating, damage to device.
VIII.7. Item: “CPU Screen off Max” – this is a slider that lets you define the highest frequency the CPU can rise up to while the screen is off. Stock is 384 but you can set it lower, however, some phones tend to not wake up when in deep sleep if this is set too low. Experiment with it.
This concludes the tweaks-document. I hope I didn’t miss anything. My sincerest apologies if I did.
Thanks for all the fish!

AW: [ROM][S4][18 JAN] Team Venom presents: ViperOneS 2.0.0 | Sense 4.+ | 4.1.1 | Twea
Reserved8 8
send from an phone you don't know
Reserved9
Please all flashoholics follow this procedure and try NOT flashing custom kernel the first days, that will be a big help for bug tracking:
Full Wipe (cache, data, system)
ROM Flash in recovery
Fastboot Boot.img in bootloader (with script or with "fastboot flash boot boot.img", then "fastboot erase cache, then "fastboot reboot")
Boot into System
DIRECTLY reboot to Recovery and wipe cache again (this is a One S specific security advice)
Boot again to system and start setting up your device
Riff jtag service for members
-=|| RIFF Jtag BOX Unbricking Service ||=-
The unbrick-Service can be contacted here: http://goo.gl/7wJSAHello dear Viper Users and fellow XDA Members!
Tecardo is now offering JTAG Service so he can unbrick phones for members. This service makes hardly any sense for non-EU countries as the postage fees with insurance exceed any reasonable amount and unbricking in for example the US by a local service is MUCH cheaper than paying nearly a hundred bucks for postage. Sorry about that.
Tecardo is involved in Electronics by profession and has some serious knowledge. So it will be easy to dive into the matter for him.
The second purpose will be to have a Friend of the Venom Team with a backup-plan nearby when the Team is bricking their devices while trying new stuff. For them, it is very important to know how to recover their devices without immense costs if something goes wrong. This sense of security will ensure free, undisturbed testing. It takes away a lot of fear.
With this box, Tec will be capable of repairing a number of "Brick" situations. Not all though. But probably most. And if HTC is refusing service, Tec will do it for you.
Thanks to all who helped make this possible!
This has been a tremendous journey, since Viper One S is far away from an ordinary custom ROM. I have never seen so many code changes, ten thousands of new lines have been added and the result is the most customizable ROM ever. This beast is even directly connected to the cloud with the option to download many Themes from Venom Hub and receive OTA updates.
I really need to thank especially torxx, who is just a fantastic dev and a great guy, the genuises behind that project j4n87 and monarx, richmondouk for porting all this stuff to JB, the entire team, especially Vin, shniz who are really very helpful and nice guys.

Oh Boy!
You where just toooooo late you missed it all lol
Wait about one more hour until the thread is totally set up!
I am also a fan of the bottom style of quick settings.
Phones of size > 5" should provide this, It would be very comfortable and stylish..
It is very unfortunate that H2OS is merged with O2OS and they didn't retain this panel!!!
But, We have a better alternative!!!!:fingers-crossed::good::good::good:
There is an app, whick gives all of the customizations to your hand and let you tweak..
Unlike other apps like iPanel or some ****, this app is completely user friendly.
You can select the quick settings, shortcuts, default music app, size, colours, what not!!!
It has many possible configurations.
See screen shots
I loved this app.
I am sure you too..
*Note: The app isn't what you see in the play store screenshots.
The app details:
name: Quick Control Panel
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodblockwithoutco.quickcontroldock
setup:step1: Install the app
Step2: Remove all the quick settings from the pull down (native quick setting) panel. You can retain some unique toggles which are unavailable
in the app.
Step 3: Open the app, give permissions.
Step4: Customize almost everything.
step5: Thank me if you think, I've given you a treat....
Last but not least: If you have a better alternative with you, please let us (others who love this panel type) know..
@qwen3579 asked:Q: after hiding all the Quick Settings toggles on the notification panel, there is a pretty big ugly gap left behind. I wish there was a way to just disable the QS panel.
I noticed this when I used the RR for OP3. There is not way to hide this gap or disable it..
For this there are 2 ways to act..
1) Select '5' QS tiles in the android system which are not available in The panel but you use rarely. The usually used QS will be available handy in the panel.
2). Disable the QS toggles completely from the QCPanel, use all other features like music and Shorcuts. This also looks good and saves lots of space on the view.
The ScreenShots are uploaded
Thank me if I helped you,
If you want me to make a tutorial on this, please let me know.
Here is a h2os like preset I quickly wrapped up.
Extract it in /sdcard/QuickControlPanel/backups
Will post more versions if I will make it more similar in the future or optimized.

Changed colors for more h2os-like look and added upper icons. Would add the flashlight too but I can't find it in the lists. That would remove it from the bottom row and have the controls non-scrollable (less accidental swipes)
Icons used are from the Flight lite icon pack.

I love this, BUT....after hiding all the Quick Settings toggles on the notification panel, there is a pretty big ugly gap left behind. I wish there was a way to just disable the QS panel. I'm on RR ROM and although there are some customization settings for the QS panel, there are no options to hide/remove it completely.
Move it to the bottom in the panels order and change the panel height in General settings.
I'm talking about the Android Quick Settings panel, not the app.

This is nearly H2OSish. Ca we find any XDA friend to create the perfect drawer?
Cause this one has some bugs..
Google Play listing has been removed. Anyone got a link for e for the application
@kalinskym
Search in google for the apk. It is always available in any apk providers out there
