HI, installed 1.6.0 on hboot 2.16 and have been using it for a number of days. Occasionally (about every third time) the screen in my dialer goes black and won't wake up. This means I can't hang up the phone or use the dialpad without hard-rebooting. If the other person ends the call, it's fine but if I am leaving a message or something I need to reboot.
I think it might a proximity sensor issue.

I have a similar issue, even on stock, was the reason I rooted my phone in the first place. I use Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibration app from the play store and it solves the problem perfectly.

Just a noobie question...the new build has something called 'chameleon' in it. Where is it and what does it do?

is a new behaviour of status bar, changed the colour like the actual app.
It's nice but isn't deactivable... (and IMHO I don't like much...)

Candy center OTA not working
I'm on 1.6.1 and the candy center says I'm on current version. Would really prefer an OTA update to a complete wipe and rom install... Any solution for this?

Unable to install zip
Hi, im new to the forum and wondered if anyone can help. Im trying to flash my one s with the newest candykat and keep getting an install error "E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'internal_sd/candykat-ville-215-4.4.4.release...."
My device has s-off and im using twrp 2.7.0, hboot 2.15 and haven't usually had any probs like this before in the past (though it has been around 8 months since i last changed the ROM, time for something new...).
Ive tried the last two releases of CandyKat with the same error, can anyone shed any light on the problem??
Thanks in advance.

Manually upgraded to 1.6.2, now 1.6.3 is available and Candy Centre still says I have the latest version. Do OTA updates work for this or not? Does anyone even look at this Q&A thread?

Ota is being reworked atm

Hi, i want to ask if someone else have a problem with com.android.phone force close, sometimes i just have one in a while, but sometimes I have a lot. Yes i tried other roms but have similar problem, so I'm asking if there is a workaround. I'm using hboot 2.16, I came from liberty max sense 5.5 so I have the radio from that rom. Hboot 2.15 user have the problem too? Or if something to live with kitkat aosp?

Ok, I know I'm not going crazy because I've changed it before on this ROM...but how do you change the lock screen background? I can't seem to find the right place anymore... Please save my sanity...

I think it's a chrome problem., they seem to be trying to introduce a reading mode. I started using the chrome beta and it doesn't have this behaviour. The only way I can find to switch out of that reading mode is to use the task switcher, change to some other task and then change back to chrome.

flashed this ROM, sweet.. only issue is my HTC One S unable to connect as storage on my desktop... No USB connectivity options on my phone. any suggestions?

You need to enable USB debugging in dev options I think, then select mass storage when you plug in the usb cable. Should work fine. As a last resort you could boot to recovery and mount the sd card from TWRP, pc should see it then no problem.

Why KandyKat vers, 1.4 or 1.5 not in HTC One S wiki ?
In HTC One S wiki there is a table of all the Official and well supported custom ROMs.
I noticed that KandyKat is not listed in the wiki summary table.
As a suggestion, can you talk to the webMaster to include KandyKat in the wiki table ?

Is candyKat v 1.6.3 specifically designed for HTC one S S4 ?
Is candyKat v 1.6.3 specifically designed for HTC one S S4 ?
I currently have a stock Android 4.1.1 HTC One S S4 with sense 4+
If I was to upgrade my phone to candyKat 4.4.4 to gain new adnroid features (ex. Miracast, better USB/keyboard connectivity, ART application speeding up, etc . . .)
will the day-to-day popular 4.4.1 functions that I have been using for 3 years on my phone, will continue to work as normal and as stable ?
I have S4 Hboot 2.15 S-On, which download link shall I use to get the ROM flash files ?

[Q] HTC Sensation turns wifi and mobile network on by itself

Sometimes when I look at my phone I will see the icon for data usage at the top of the screen. The wifi has been turned on and the mobile network is using up my credit?
This either has something to so with app synching(but I have auto-sync turned off) or some other sneaky setting.
As of right now I have checked the "restrict background data" box so I will see if that solves the problem.
This usually happens after being connected to my laptop wifi but not only then. Has anyone had this problem or found a solution?
Which ROM and firmware are you on bro? This was an issue with ROM's based on old firmwares.The latest InsertCoin, ARHD and Elegancia ROM's don't have this issue.
My XE does this too, I'm on the standard OTA ICS update. I was wondering if it was something to do with using Juicedefender, do you use it?
If you are on stock ICS, then this problem should be solved with the update after upgrading. It's a setting update, about 15mb. I had the same problem after updating to ICS too. I think somebody posted about it earlier.

First u need to root your phone .. Here is the perfect tutorial for you.
Then Just replaced the stock Sense3.6 files with the ones from Sense 4 using Root Explorer.
The attached the files are from Sense 4 rom.
I dont remember from which post i got to know this. But credit goes to the certain developer.
P.S: Backup ur Rom before doing anything. Noone ll be reponsible if anything happens.
All de best

Sorry I useless with tech words. The software info say Android 4.0.3, HTC sense 3.6, Software number 3.32.401.5
And for clarity, I don't use any apps really I just use the base ones that came with the phone.
Thanks for the posts. I turned background data on again because the messaging app was and still is giving me trouble where it stays on "loading..." for one contact. Haven't had the original issue occur since I posted but I also haven't used it on my laptop hotspot.
Are you using a stock rom now..??
I've noticed my phone do this as well (see ROM I'm using in the signature), but only after midnight, like it's got some kind of sleep mode so you wouldn't be bothered by notifications in the middle of the night.
I started noticing this when I first tried OrDroid and it stayed that way when I went back to ARHD. Don't think I've seen the phone do that before using OrDroid for the first time (but maybe it did and I just didn't notice it)

Blackbean Tethering Issue

i flashed teh latest version of the blackbean rom yesterday (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954276)
and if my one s falls asleep it stops tethering, if i wake it again its working again.
is that a cm10 problem or did i do sth wrong?
I'm pretty sure its because the ROM flashes a new radio. Specifically the 1.08ts which turns off the data when the screen is off. Its to help prevent people from tethering. There is an apk on the play store that you can use to prevent this, however I can't for the life of me think of the name or you can flash one of the zjps on the blackbean forum that let's you change radios.

There are also radio zips in the CM10 thread to change it back...need to flash after each Rom flash

can't find it, maybe anyone knows the name? otherwise i gotta flash some other rom, but this one's pretty smooth so i would really like to stick to it!
Hey guys sorry I can't find the name. It was in one of these forums but as I'm sure you know searching them is easier said then done. Try the modified radio zips they are in the cm10 forum. Either in the general cm10 discussion or the development one. If you get really desperate just check the 'screen always on' box in setting under developer options.

[Q] Viper XL OTA update issue.

I recently Rooted my At&t one x and installed the lasted Viper XL. i had an issue during the first flash of the ROM but fixed it by restoring back up and re flashing, however i did not select wipe flash this time to see if it would work, sure enough it worked so i started customizing and exploring what it has. Then i was trying to figure out the OTA feature and sure enough i did not have it. I found one solution which was to re flash the ROM but i do not want to lose all my setting and redo it all again. so the question is...is there a way to get the OTA update feature without re flashing or at least a way to re flash and keep all my settings apps and what not intact?
new to rooting android, feared it for a while after bricking my first HTC one X. Any help is greatly appreciated

I think I know the confusion
When you get an OTA update from Viper, it is obtained by going to System > About > Software updates, exactly the way you would normally on a carrier rom.
If you have downloaded the latest Viper, which will be 3.1.0 , there will be no OTA updates, as that is the latest version
Hope that helps you out.

Sorry for wrong forum didn't see roms as part of q and a.
So regarding this answer...the ota update feature will only appear when there's an update? I find this strange because there is no way to for viper to check tosee if you have the most current version. But if you could confirm this that would be appreciated

Lots of people put questions in the general forum, and its get a bit annoying. Also, you run a much greater chance of it being answered if you put in the in the Q&A section, and we don't end up annoying the moderators who then move it for you (which it looks like someone has)
Basically, if you sentence ends with a ? it belongs in Q&A, regardless of what you are asking about, ROM or phone or anything else.
The Viper rom is coded to check the Venom Hub periodically for updates, and will end up telling you there is an update available, similar to if a carrier rom had put an update up. I can confirm this is very much the case, as I have had my phone when it was on the 2.xx version, and my phone told me I had an update available, which, when I checked, told me it was a Viper update, not a carrier update.
That being said, I actually have that option unticked, as I keep quite a close eye on the Viper rom thread and know when there's an update before the phone does!! I have no idea how often the phone checks for updates btw.

For minor updates to most any custom ROM, you can just flash without wiping data (factory reset). But always wipe Dalvik and cache. This is called a "dirty flash" by some.
With ViperXL OTA updates in particular, you should just be fine dirty flashing.
If an update to a custom ROM requires a factory reset, the dev will usually say so.

[Q] Viper XL 3.2.1 update question

Sup XDA? Noob here...
Currently running 3.1 noticed the update is out as a full ROM and not OTA as of yet. A few questions:
- How long before it's available OTA?
- Can I install the ROM from recovery and have it essentially do the same as an OTA would? Would I keep all my files/apps using this method or will it wipe my info?
Thanks in advance for the help!

1. Turge has said that it is too big a file to be released as an ota. So it never will be an ota.
2. Yes. Just dirty flash it over your existing rom. In the installer it will ask do you want to wipe data or no. Select dont wipe data. All your setting and everything will remain. To be on the safe side backup any important files with TIBU or your favorite backup app first in case something goes wrong.

No need to wipe data if coming from Viper XL 3.0.0 or 3.1.0. The new release is a different base so there would not be an OTA. If you coming from previous version, wiping data is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Easy to install just do not choose wipe data during the install and you are good to go.
Precisely what I needed to know. Thanks so much.

Your post has nothing to do with the original topic of the thread. You should have started your own thread, or read the ViperXL thread. The lagfix discussed there may help your case.
Ough, I was in the idea I did that, guess I messed up.
I'll post in a new thread. You dont have this problem? With the phone app?

With the dialer, no. ViperXL was a bit laggy waking the screen when pressing the power button. But I didn't have the dialer lag you are talking about.
Download the Lagfix app from the Play Store and see if that helps. Also, if your SD card is pretty full, it will make most of the Sense JB ROMs laggy.
10-4, I'll work on that.

Hi guys this morning I loaded the latest rom (phone was charging overnight) but only a hour later my phone turned off.
The last thing it was doing was downloading apps from the google play store while I was driving to work.
Anyway when I got to work I noticed the phone was off, so I tried turning it back on and no luck. I tried to boot into recovery/download mode but got absolutely no response.....no vibration. When I plug in the charger I get no response either.
What are my options to save the phone?
Thanks for your help!

SOLVED!!!!
Yes, so this morning what I did was hit on the back of the phone lightly while pressing the vol+- and power button and to my surprise it turned on. Immediately I restored the 4.4.4 Nexus ROM that was backed up. I think it was a loose battery but don't want to test that rom again.
It is good rom. But conception of material is light colors. Need stock white them...
Please tell me which is the link for ROM release from 11.01.2015 for Hammerhead. I found only that one from 7.01.
Thank you
The ROM is official now?
Awesome rom.
