NEW VERSION IN TEST PHASE - COMING SOON
UTB-ROM for the HTC One S gives you a clean, no fuzz, CM9/AOSP based ROM.
Version 2.0 marks the start of the future. As we anxiously await the kernel drivers from HTC, talented developers are making good progress on getting AOSP running smoothly. While there are still some issues floating about, its time to start building the base for the new ROM.
Description
You have two options. v1.0.6 gives you an AOSP-like experience but with the comfort of the original stock HTC ROM as base. Most things work as expected. However, if you enjoy living on the bleeding edge, version 2.0 gives you an CM9 based ROM which will get some bleeding edge extras along the way. Version 2.0 is still very early in development and is currently pretty identical to a stock CM9 ROM, but I wanted to give a taste of what is coming.
Highlighted Features v2.0
CM9-base
Google Play Music
OLED-Optimized ICS Boot animation (true black levels)
Latest Google apps included for your convenience
Note that this is just an introductory release. It is plagued by the same bugs as the other AOSP/CM9 based ROM's are. But we are making good progress and soon we will get all bugs figured out, Im certain!
Highlighted Features v1.0.6
Stock Android apps (Trebuchet launcher, Android Messaging app, Android Contacts, etc, compiled from source)
Stock Android ICS notification bar
Most of the included HTC apps are long gone
Based on the new 1.64.997.1 kernel
Zipaligned
Just feels good!
Changelog
v1.0.6
Picasaweb added (syncing works, uploading is still an issue.. maybe because of this)
ICS Live Wallpapers
Updated Gallery app (Now shows your online photos)
1.0.5
Removed CruiserPwrExpert - A ridiculous logging tool from HTC that does nothing but drain your battery.
Removed the HTC Gallery
Removed HTC Music
Added AOSP Email and Exchange
Added Google Play Music
Added AOSP Gallery
Known Issues v1.0.6
Unlock required before answering call (Hard to fix as its a compatibility issue with Sense)
The HTC Camera is for some reason not willing to open the ICS Gallery for previews.
NOTE: If you are coming from a different base ROM than the one you are flashing, a full data wipe is encouraged and recommended.
DOWNLOADS
v2.0 RC1
v1.0.6
Be honest your ideas a good one.sense stripped away..add some tweaks change some GUI for image sake..I'm already running a stripped down rom..novas running.only thing that looks different are the menus.
Looking forward to your rom matw

Yeah, I left the stock HTC camera app and gallery app. The reason for this is the unique features of the ImageSense chip which I didnt quite get to work with the stock camera app.
HTC's settings are also still in as well as the HTC Music app, but I might be removing that in the next version. Unfortunately, until we get AOSP running on the One S, it will be difficult to escape HTC's customized stuff completely. But I am trying to get as close as I can without breaking anything.
In terms of bugs, I am still trying to resolve answering calls without having to unlock the screen. Apart from that, I havent found any other serious issues yet.
Feedback is most welcome though. Ive just made a ROM to satisfy my desires and needs
All good here man.data working..camera phone etc etc.no issues

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know the foundation is stable and solid.
Is there an easy way to change the behaviour of the app switch button in here? I'd find it more useful to switch between apps than as a menu button.
Hmm haven't thought about it. Just made more sense to have a menu button. If you long-click the home button you get the app switcher though

Problem is that when you don't assign menu to one of the buttons you get the onscreen menu button back...

The on-screen button doesn't really bother me. At least it tips you off that there are hidden settings in some apps. Over time there should be less need for a menu button anyway. Guess it's just a preference of mine, but very awesome ROM otherwise!
Shame there's no live wallpapers though.

Is everyone experiencing better battery life with this ROM? Also, what is the issue exactly with screen unlock? When you update the ROM, will we have to wipe? Do you know how long before answering calls bug is resolved? I happen to enjoy this version of Sense versus the older ones but I'm all for trying a "lighter" version of the OS.

To be honest, I didnt really use my device much before I flashed it, so its hard to answer the question of battery life with any certain degree of accuracy. But battery life is great for me and Im sure the new kernel doesnt do it harm either.
The screen unlock issue isnt really an issue, but more a HTC - Android AOSP incompatibility problem. When an incoming call occurs while the phone is locked, you have to unlock the screen first before being able to click the answer-button.
Hello..
very great rom.. i'd like to know if there is a battery mod for this rom!
Thanks

Sorry if this has already been posted here but...
Lee has created leedroid tweaks for the 'other' one x. Anybody with the skills over here on the 'good' side that could do something similar? I'd definitely be willing to test or help out any way I can.

It's a good idea and common sense include a link when referring to some other post/resources...

You know what I mean?
Wow, I'll just leave it at that.

Basically, I'm talking about a GUI front end to mods for the xl. Things like changing the battery icon, percent, modifying quick settings, CPU tweaks, any other mods etc.

It should improve multitasking performance on any 1.88 Based ROM. It would prolly work on just about any ROM base but TBH but I have only tried it on the 1.88 base.
Version 2 - 6/27/2012
This new version incorporates the values suggested by Calkulin.
You do not need to revert with undo.zip first. You can just flash this over.
Although I have not had time to test this mod in depth I believe it will outperform V1 now knowing what Calkulin has taught!

Version 1
I simply removed these lines from the sh script. Nothing else was touched. The red line is for our device.
Code:
echo "0,2,4,7,9,12" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
case "$hardware" in "elite")
[B][I][COLOR="Red"]echo "7746,9720,11694,13742,15715,24709" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree[/COLOR][/I][/B]
;;
esac
case "$hardware" in "ville")
echo "7946,9953,11960,14008,16015,25108" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
;;
esac

I have also included an "Undo" zip to replace the .sh file with an original untouched file straight from the stock ROM. You may want to back yours up manually. The file is located in /system/etc/.
You may want to check with your favorite ROM Dev to ensure this mod will not over write any tweaks they have placed in the ROM. This will work on any CleanROM 3.x version.
Needless to say this mod will not make your phone handle 1,000 apps simultaneously but it will allow Android to handle the memory as it would on any other phone without any modifications from HTC.
Hit Thanks!

You might want to hold on that. The mod improves the multitasking functionality by a bit, but not significantly.
Previously, before this mod, only the last used app will be cached in memory at most. With this mod, I can cache more apps in memory (depends on the apps opened and cached). So far, once the app is 4th place and beyond, the memory is immediately cleared. I'm using it with Kobra rom, but I look forward to Scott's new update to see if multitasking will be improved significantly. I'll be testing it more in the afternoon when I have more time.
Still very useful if you're flipping back and forth between 2 apps and a big thanks like Scott for making for making this mod.
I can cache more then that,
Edit I opened a lot of apps and most of them can be cached, the only apps that didn't stay in memory were Facebook and Instagram and that's only because they were coded that way(I think)
Facebook is different because if I cache on news feed it'll redraw but when viewing a picture it'll remain frozen in time.
This mod is fo weal fo weal

Edit: sorry to keep spamming your thread Scott but I just wanted to say that this mod plus cleanRom dev edition.. is pure win. All the function I really want from sense and not a lick more (maybe that's why my apps cache lol). Plus I don't have to add all my usual favorite tweaks (gradient, themes, etc) all I add to this is the hd YouTube and a little tinkering with cpueditor and I'm cooking bacon.
Beer will be heading your way in short time in the form of a PayPal notification, thank you sir

Thank you Scott, will try this with CleanROM tonight!
Thanks for the mod! I actually edited the sh file on cleanrom 2.6 se and it's working great (didn't want to flash your zip in case the script file from 1.88 is different than the one in 1.85).
Multitasking is noticeably better.
Interested to hear from more people on how well the phone runs with this. I was under the impression that sense is a resource hog and robs ram to run smooth. Allocating more to apps, affected at all ?

I haven't noticed any difference at all in the Modaco ROM. I'll probably jump back to CleanROM when 3.1 is out to compare.
I'm able so far to cache 4 and then the 5th gets cleared.

ok so this works awesome
multitasking is actually useful now
even if it's only 3 or 4 apps, that makes a world of difference from how it was

UPDATE: After applying this mod, I then reduced my "minfree" values to 20/22/24MB, and the multitasking is pretty amazing now.
can i install this mod in miui v4?.I think it is based on 1.73
Good news is that after spending over a week or so digging into the framework to see what changes HTC did, I managed to undo some of the mods that HTC did, like kill(hibernate) the previous app after x mins, so now multitasking works for the most part like it should. I just now need to free up some more memory to able to run more apps simultaneously even tho I'm running the bare minimum for memfree settings
Goooooood wooooork

My cousin has got Desire X recently, I've checked the phone and the performance is amazing, and the camera works flawlessly with brilliant framerate. I'm a noob when it comes to knowledge about porting and stuff, thought I'd ask here, is a port possible with the same performance on Desire S?

I believe the Desire SX ROM has that. Not sure though.
And if you just want performance, a AOSP ROM is better.

My desire xs Rom is a complete port of the desire x, personally I think it is one of the smothest sense 4 roms we have, (although as its my Rom a am more than a little biased to be fair.) The camera fully works in all modes (burst, capture while filming, etc) why not give it a try, and give it a direct comparison to your friends Desire X. I have only done a quick comparison with a display model in my local phone store so would be really interested to hear back on a real world comparison.
Desire XS is awesome, smooth and quick
For more theme, mods, tweaks, you can try Viper ROM too.
@thantos2024, any info update on your work on Jelly Bean Sense port?
Desire XS is really fast and beautiful

I second that. I like it very much. It gives my desire s a new life and face. One observation: latest evernote app is not working, I had to install a old version of it. And show recent used app function is not working.
Thanks a lot for thantos2024's great work.:laugh:
