Looking for an AOSP rom...

Hi, so I'm looking for a rom that is Sense-free, allows blutooth to work with Sixaxis controller, allows Wifi-Hotspots, and doesn't have any audio routing issues. I currently run CyanogenMod 9 but I'm growing more and more annoyed of the Audio routing problems. Is there anything out there that will truly satisfy my needs? I'm starting to wonder.
Roms I've tried:
Virtuous Quatro and Inquisition. Both did not work because they had Sense hidden in their roms.
ARHD 6.6.7: Did not work because it was already a sense rom (This was my first rom)
CyanogenMod 9: Works with the things stated above, but I'm growing annoyed of the audio routing issues.
So is there a rom out there for me? Or will I just have to wait until a more stable CM9 to come out? Let me know, thanks.

jDrOid's ROMs
Try JDroid Exodized ROM (Without Sense) its an AOSP ROM, wish i can post links,
download it from this site: hox . jdr0id . com
Hope that helps.

That's Sense based
All proper AOSP roms are CM9 based atm, so will have the audio routing problems unfortunately

I've been looking up CM 7 Rom, I found one that looks good. SuperSensation. Do I need to do anything special to flash it on?

I dont really know about you guys, but i am running OpenSensation for like 2 weeks, and never had audio routing problems. But, instead, the battery drains like hell.

Cm7 is Android 2.3 and is dated. I think you'll need to be on a specific firmware to use it, in not sure which

I'd rather have a fully working rom than buggy or broken. Can someone let me know what firmware are you need to run? I have the latest and need to know if I need downgrade.

Have you tried going to any apps that require a microphone? And heavily draining battery is very bad I use this phone all day..

you need to be s-off'ed and downgrade the firmware to hboot 1.17 because cm7 is a GB ROM. Grab the 1.17 firmware here and follow the instructions to flash it here but using the hboot 1.17 file instead

I agree with you, but i'm already trying this ROM on my HOX i haven't faced any issue till now with audio routing. lets just pray nothing goes wrong agai; i had to install this ROM after all the issues i was having with HTC sense.

Finally. Someone who is more concerned with helping than making sure I have a "up to date" rom. Thanks.

[Q] wifi issues after installing custom roms

i seem to have come into a problem while installing custom ROMs. i have so far been successful in unlocking, rooting, changing CID and installing custom ROMs but my problem is when i do install a rom i find that my wifi doesnt connect it either says that its is searching for wifi or it just stays blank. i have installed so far for different roms, 2 where stable CM builds.
i have read a thread where someone had the same problem and a user here requested he tried different kernels, i have flashed 2 kernels and still no luck.
P.S wifi was working while it was on stock root.
i have an sensation XE and right have a CM10 nightly rom installed with a kernel belong to the same provider. i have no idea what to do next in order to resolve this.
I apologize in advance if a similar post has already been made but i wasnt able to find it after researching on different terms and checking the similar thread results that came up as soon as i posted this title.

Maybe RIL doesnt match (just an idea). Try with Getril from the store and see if it works.

or install the wifix manager.it helped a lot of people

S-On??
I don't know if yours is the same issue but I recently had problems with WiFi not switching on with custom ROMs.
I use Bruce's CM10 ROM and all was well with WiFi up to and including version 24/09. However versions after that gave me the WiFi problem.
Turns out that it was because I was still S-On and using ClockworkMod as my recovery tool.
I installed the 4ext recovery tool (which has a Smartflash default option for S-On users) from Google Play and, having restored to a ROM where WiFi worked, flashed my ROM of choice and now have no problem with WiFi at all.
I'm now running the latest CM10 ROM from Bruce, 3/10, and it's absolutely brilliant!
Hope this helps

Well first things first. Make sure that the kernel your using supports the operating system the rom uses. Sense rom only works with sense kernel and aosp rom only works with aosp kernels. Ics only works with Ics kernel and etc

Dugyc, I don't think that's the case with me.... Cause even with previous CM builds I couldn't get the wifi to work, back then I thought it was because the build was still fresh so bugs were definitely going to be there. Instead I just stuck myself with a root stock rom instead.

Blahbl4hblah, I don't think that was the problem cause when I flashed the CM10 rom, I also flash the kernel for CM10 which was provided by the developer.

Provide a logcat to the developer then. Reporting an issue doesn't help you or anyone who may experience it without a logcat

ICS or GB?
Before you rooted and flashed ROM to your Sensation, which version of Android were you using?
Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich?
ps. If you're not using 4ext as your recovery tool, I suggest you try it, it fixed my WiFi problem, which sounds very similar to yours, even though some Custom ROMs worked for me.

Roms that work with T-Mobile htc one s

I started this to see if anyone can list a few ROMs that work with T-Mobiles htc one s. Please help by listing the ROM you are on and by saying if the ROM has any issues; such as WiFi not working for example.

Cm10 nightly- works excellent but it takes WiFi about 5 mins to kick in after I toggle it. If any one knows how to fix it please reply to this post

I've been using $droyd$'s AOKP 4.2.2 ROM and the only issue is that as of right now, you can't record in 1080p. Other than that, its very smooth and fast.
Also if you were unaware before, wifi-calling doesn't work on any jelly bean rom.
Good luck!

WIFI issues are a nuance of this phone and the tmobile seems to be the most affected - it's different for each access point, user, phone, rom and firmware. In short you'll have to try it.
My tmobile worked with wifi on CM10 and CM10.1, it would not work with Viper until I downgraded my hboot (partial s-off enables some firmware write access) and flashed my wifi firmware. It get's interesting - I then put the old firmware back and the wifi still worked!!
Did you see the S-OFF thread? This will enable you to flash the radio firmware which will solve any problems.
Remember your WIFI channels - different countries use different range of channels and some access points 'helpfull' set the channel automaticlly. I have many devices that cannot cope with channel12.

Not trying to be a buzz kill here, but what's the purpose of this thread? I mean the Dev section is right over there, and the first page is flowing with fully working or close to fully working new ROMS.
Just saying.

I see what your saying. But honestly when you go through the a certain ROMs thread, they never say how WiFi doesn't work on T-Mobile phones. Or any of the problems Tmobiles users face.And who wants to go through a thread having to look for that one specific detail about a ROM whether or not to see if WiFi works. Also when looking through these ROM threads you find people that just like to say thank you (which there is nothing wrong with) that fill up the pages, making it harder to know if everything in that ROM is really going to work on your tmobile HTC one s, because people do search through comments to see what the users say. Therefore I made this thread for all T-Mobile users who want to post and say whether their ROM they are using works perfectly or if they are experiencing problems. And who wants to go through the process of flashing a new ROM without even knowing whether something like WiFi works. So yeah that's why i made this thread
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I get that, ROM posts can be a little all over the place sometimes. I didn't understand at first; I'm one of the few T-Mo users with pretty much no problems. It also doesn't help that the ROM database that some guy did in the Dev section hasn't been updated for some time.

Thankyou

Ok thank you. Now i think im going to go Flash that rom. And also did you do anything specific to get your wifi working. and what Hboot are you on

If you are S-ON and have high HBOOT and want a Sense-based ROM with working WiFi, you were looking at TrickDroid 7 (TMOUS based), Unknown Retribution, and I think one more (Energy Blue, IIRC) that were based on recent updates. Since they were all based on the TMOUS ROM, everything should work without doing anything super special, including WiFi-calling. Virtuous Ville+ also had working WiFi, but no WiFi-calling. Recent CM 10.1 nightlies are working really well. At least, those are the ROMs I've used.

Wait are you saying that Recent cm10.1 nightlies have wifi working on our device. and by wifi working i mean it automatically turns on, and not just hangs and turns on later .

I haven't had any WiFi hangs.

I just started using Liquid Smooth. Pretty nice IMO. The only issues I've notcied were a bluetooth hang that fixed after a reboot, and Voice search keeps crashing.

Right now I'm on Viper 2.1.0 with the full firmware from the 3.16 WWE OTA -- I only made that jump because S-OFF makes it easy to switch without having to downgrade HBOOT. So HBOOT is 2.15 and Radio is 1.11.50.05.28. But I've just started using that and can't give you much in the way of impressions on WiFi stability yet. Just flashed it last night and didn't have any WiFi problems downloading my apps last night or weather checks this morning.
Before that I was using a recent CM 10.1 nightly on the TMOUS 2.35.531.10 firmware. So HBOOT 1.14 and 1.11t. I ran that firmware combination from shortly after its release until flashing Viper. ROMs in use were either CM 10.1 nightlies or Unknown Retribution (TMOUS 2.35 based).

noob question- What do you mean by TMOUS 2.35 based. And how does that affect the cm10.1 nightly

I mean ROMs that were built using T-Mobile US's 2.35 ROM as a base. Other Sense-based ROMs, like Viper, start with different ROMs as a base. The different Sense bases are part of the reason people run into WiFi problems when using ROMs originally created for other regions.
CM 10.1 has an entirely different heritage so it has its own ways of dealing with those issues.

I'm on hboot 1.09 and the wi-fi worked right from the start.
p.s. sorry for the slow reply

Gotta Tell you the Viper 2.1.0 rocks...its fast awesome battery life and its got working wifi...not wifi calling but just wifi in general...it honestly is the best sense ROM...I have tried CM 10, Virtuous Ville+, P.A.C Man and even the ICS ROMs and I gotta say the Venom team makes an awesome product...:laugh:

"[rom][S4][15FEB]Updated_4.2.2_AOKP-Working-video" seems to work great with TMOUS hboot 1.14, added the new camera (in the post) with photosphere, The only little bug I found is the bluetooth doesn't list station info on my car stereo. I saw a tearing fix using bubba kernel, but I'm just living with it for now. Everything else seems to work great!

I just flashed the LiquidSmooth JB ROM from Droyd and this thing is amazing.. Coming from a rooted Stock Sense there really is no comparison, I might give Viper a try but this is clearly gonna be my daily driver

I was using the radio, adsp, wcnss, and rcdata on cm10.2 for few days. I found my 3g much less reliable than on 1.13 or 1.15. Anyone else tested?
I can upload it this weekend if no one does beforr

Ok. Maximus is cool but i went back to beanstalk. should i try it or rather not

Just to thank you...
I pressed "Thanks" button. But who would say it's enough for someone who gave my One S a second life ?
About a week ago, I was pretty sure we'll get stuck on JB 4.1 with that good old Sense 4. That was good for me. I liked the phone for what it is. I liked stock ROM, even if the dark AOSP look and feel would have better suited my theme, but at least, everything worked fine. Our device has great battery life, makes marvellous pictures, brings a good sound for calls. I once was a flashoholic, but that was before. Always unlocking, modding, installing new things, with those bugs and missing functions... but I grew up since that time. I can't afford having an half working device anymore, so I calmed down.
I was stuck in the idea what I had was enough. Especially when I saw those useless threads about Sense 5 upgrade, which would come, then not, and recome, but in fact not... Boring and pathetic. And you brought another light of hope. YOU had that leak... You had the Grail. You gave it to us, Maximus HD is a great ROM, I've tried it for a day before you release the dump. It was night and day comparing Sense 4.I feel my phone is complete now. But I like vanilla flavour, so I've build a stock ROM for to fit my needs. You gave us another great gift.
Just a last time, thank you.

I did not get one thing. is this a leak of original hos rom to come or port from a different device?

It's a rom fully fonctionnal, but I think HTC will never release it, it's only for us flashmaniacs
But I wonder why the hell no one is using this 100% working rom as base, to bring us sense 5 with some tweaks ?

Because of the firmware update you have to do that's why us devs are trying to fix up our ports we have one bug left and it would be the equivalent of labs Rom
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

OK thanks, that mean with this new firmware some devs tools or other things about developping aren't good for now. Anyway, if everything has been resized and ported to One S, that's a good news

There always tends to be small bugs with the ports... Major ones tend to get fixed... But small ones overlooked or persist for a while. For example I could never get the htc media link to work from the ports (although maybe newer updates could fix that). And some may find a benefit in the firmware update too. But to each their own. Its just good to see dev still working on our One S... Im just waiting for custom kernels to get a bit better on either ports or this one... Always love what ShowP's kernel based Mpdecision does to battery life.

Thanks but what I ask is if this rom is orginally developed for HOS or is it a port made by some other devs. I had a glimpse from your post that it is coming from HTC but just want to make sure it is because all the other sense 5 roms derives from evita afaik.

Download and flash a couple of kit Kat roms. They all nearly the same in my opinion. I prefer sense 4+ to be honest. Don't ask which Rom is best because your thread will be closed ( just advise)

If you've got sense 5 you won't need to change the firmware. Do you know how to get into recovery mode if so after you download a kk Rom go to recovery and press backup. This will back up your sense 5 Rom incase you want to go back to it. When it's complete go back and press wipe all except sd card. Then go back and press choose zip and then find your download file. The kk zip file you downloaded should be there. Press install and wait. Once installed you have to go back and do the same with gapps file which you should have downloaded with your Rom. Once complete go back and reboot your phone then wait few minutes and your kk Rom will be ready to set up and use.

I believe he is asking whether there is a KitKat ROM with Sense. I don't know of any, but if someone knows a few, then they can make a suggestion.

Best rom
I'd recommend SultanXDA CM11, I think it is most stable and best battery life, almost no bugs.

First of all you need kernel who can support 4.2.2 version and SebastianFM work on it, as i know
