[Q] Android Revolution HD Question - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA people,
I got a HTC One just a couple days ago and I wanted to root my phone because I feel that the battery is draining pretty quickly.
So, should I flash Android Revolution HD 31.6 or 40.3(/41.0)? Is one better than the other? I know that 40.3(/41.0) runs Android 4.4 KitKat, but is it stable enough to run daily? Or is 31.6 more stable than 40.3(/41.0)?
Thanks!

Hey! It is always tough to say which rom is better than the other. I've tried numerous versions of Revolution HD. I would and will go for the latest, 41.0 since there were a few bugs in 40.3.

Thanks dude. However, I don't know if 41.0 is going to be as stable compared to 31.6, because of the fact that it just came out today. But I guess the dev wouldn't even release it if he knew it wasn't almost 100% stable, right?

Mike is pretty sharp, it's probably fine.
VPN doesn't work on KitKat, if that's important for you.

Well kitkat for HTC one now is the dev version. Generally 4.3 is more stable ( but i do not feel much difference between 4.4 and 4.3). So if you really want a stable version, i think 4.3 is better in theory

Any info on how to setup VPN on pre-kitkat? There is the KeyVPN app plus the integrated Android VPN client, none of which seem to support certificate-based authentication.
I would appreciate any help on this topic.
Thanks.
Edit:
Nobody replied to my question about KeyVPN, so I had to find an alternative way. Happily using OpenVPN now. The configuration on both Router and Phone proved to be a hassle using certificate-based authentication, however once configured it works like a charm.
Cheers.

I would think they will update but it will not be the full version of sense since it slows down even fast phones to a crawl.

The desire s is running it fine.....
I hope HTC will release 2.3.5 with HTC Sense 3.5.
For now, I'm using Enhab ROM.
i can't understand also why they didn't upgrade Incredible S, its not as if it's an obsolete phone already.
Right, It's still a good phone.

I have a one; it’s really amazing very fast phone with a great screen, why they don’t upgrade it to the lasts?!!!!

Fk that...
Why would anyone not want hardware acceleration?
See your point.
I am just so impatient. Got bored of sense 2.1, sense 3 looks so good.
I know I could use custom roms, but promised myself that I will keep a stock rom on my phone.
Had the Hd2, spent so much time trying new roms, unfortunately none of them gave an out of the box exprience, that is the reason I sold it. No root this time.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Well for me I have put custom Roms on and so far only cyabogenmod works, if it didn't work then my phone would be paperweight. I can't go back to stock rom either which sucks but I'm sure ill find a way. Its because I did an ota update and its updated my hboot and now when I go back to stock its too old and not compatible

its nice to get rom...but mine cant...hope they gonna find the solutions for 1.16
completely depends on htc..

★ [ROM][M7] CyanogenMod 10.1 DISCUSSION, Q&A THREAD ★

there are a lot off topic conversations going on the official Cyanogenmod ROM thread that have nothing to do with CM development and it'd be better for the community if we keep all those conversations..questions about CM in this thread..​

Nice. Can't believe no one thought of this earlier.
Maybe a stupid question but I can't find it online.
What's the difference between Expirimental, nightlies, etc?
And what's the order of al these?

I mentioned it days ago in the Development thread.
I didn't start one because I can't keep the Original post updated.
Glad someone else who can started a thread.

Experimental is usually a build started by a dev to test changes made
Nightlies are builds scheduled every night regardless if changes have been made
Milestones have all the big bugs ironed out and signify overcoming big developmental hurdles
RC (release candidate) is what it sounds like. It's a build that has the potential to be stable if no further bugs appear
Stable has all the bugs worked out.
Do we still have the Black screen during calls? I swore it worked this morning then all my calls went black. Didn't realize how important buttons were on calls to me until it happened. I'm on the latest nightly

Stock is better as it relies on sense framework for image processing. So, optimised for the one hw

No idea. I'd say no since someone would have to reverse engineer the HTC software. I don't see that happening, but it's just a guess.

Too bad... Hopefully someone will create some kind of AOSP-Stock-Hybrid-ROM.
I will ask in Q&A if somebody is already at it, if not i will see if i can spare some time to get involved into Android developing and try to create one...
Issues
Apologies if I have missed anything where this has been covered before. I have read pretty much every page of the dev thread. I have been an xda user for years but only just opened an account to ask a couple of questions.
I can report the proximity/ blank screen during calls still exists with 18052013 nightly. Not that I saw anything about this in the change log.
Can I ask if this is any issue for everybody with the HTC One or just some? (I have the international version)
Is there a fix in the works for this?
It looks like the notification LED colour cannot be changed right now. I have tried a couple of colours but green is the only one that works.
I noticed something else small. The facebook app from the Sense 5.0 original ROM had the option to "sync only existing contacts" but with this ROM we have only "sync" which syncs all contacts. Not sure if this is an easy fix but it would be nice to have back. I do understand none of the "sense" apps or tools are available in AOSP.
Thanks for the hard work and helps everybody
Probably kind of random, but anyone have any luck with the One/CM 10.1 syncing with a Jawbone Up (a fitness monitor bracelet)? It worked fine on stock, but refuses to sync since moving to CM. I'm on the latest nightly. Any info appreciated!

No 10.2 is for testing purposes. Development just started and official releases won't happen for a while.

KitKat

I have a question. I have been reading about kitkat apps. It seems that particularly the web browser is pretty crap. Can anyone verify these comments? I don't know that it will be an issue, but I was curious if anyone here has any personal experience. If it's bad, I'll stay with 4.2.2 . Thanks.

The launcher is just OK, it's really Google Now's version of a launcher with it built in. I found it be a little slow and very little customization. Fine for the masses who don't know any different (which are the majority of users, sadly). Nova destroys it all day long.
Far as KitKat goes, it all depends on the ROM and the device. Some ROMs are way behind and some are way ahead. I hate to say it but if CM11and SlimKat were all I had to choose from, I'd probably go back to 4.2. Yes CM is the foundation of all ROMs so I'm grateful it's around, but for KitKat they still have a long way to go, at least for S2. Same for SlimKat. Just too many issues. The unofficial ROMs are kicking major butt though. For the Exhibit, I'd stick with 4.2 for now although to be fair I haven't tried the newest KitKat ROMs available here lately. @jfbs is working hard to get you guys a stable 4.4 though!

I can easily install Nova again. It's the launcher I use now and I love it. Thanks for the advice. I am looking forward to @jfbs' rom. I was just eager to try kitkat because it was supposedly designed to work on phones like ours, where ram is at a premium. Initial reviews did say it ran much lighter, but I am not sure if it really makes a difference.

Ultimately there is one truism I have found, functionality and speed are mainly hardware dependent. You can have the best ROM ever made in history but if the device doesn't have the hardware to back it up, it's useless. I booted the Exhibit for the first time in almost two weeks the other day and it was so much painfully slower than what I have now it isn't even funny. It reminded me how thankful I need to be that I have something else to be honest. A good KitKat ROM may help this device, IDK.
Yeah, the browser on Slimkat is all slow and FC's, even when you try to use a different browser than stock. With the other 4.4 ROMs we have I think you can just use a different browser if the stock has FC issues.
I stay using 4.2, since I can OC higher than 1012MHz and can swap the sd's.
FC stands for force close? Thanks for the advice. I will stay with 4.2 for now. I will see what @jfbs comes up with.

I'm looking for a good, stable , and gas Rom. Any suggestions?? Would like to have hotspot working and Ian tethering working.

All the roms available on the m7 section are amazing, every rom has something special, u should keep trying them until you find the chosen one

Well I don't know which roms are good. Been out of the loop for a little while. I have 4.4.2 kit Kat with sense 6.0. Not sure if I want to keep kit Kat or go to jelly bean. I don't want lollipop tho. I know I want hotspot and usb tethering. I want stable and fast Rom for performance and games. I also have twrp. Sprint version cdma

Thank good we have a lot good roms [emoji2] [emoji2]
You should think what rom you want,gpe, sense 6, sense 7 etc. And then look if they have any bugs. I have used a lot of them and recently artmod,arhd,insertcoin and all of them are perfect. I currently have insertcoin and I m good with it.
Hope you will find the rom you want [emoji4]
I've tried many of them, all of them are excellent. I always end up going back to a Kitkat Sense based rom, it's all a personal preference thing but I just find 4.4 Sense roms a little more stable and much better for battery life. Plus there are a lot more mods for Kitkat roms than Lollipop, but that's changing it appears. I suppose we have to remember the M7 is getting older now and newer roms are pushing the hardware harder than before.
