[ROM] MCR - MoDaCo.one for the HTC One S (Sense + Vanilla) new: WiFi Calling support

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo.one ROM for the HTC One S! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs (MCRs)

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device. MoDaCo Custom ROMs include online kitchens that allow the user to choose between stock ICS or Sense style for most features on the device!

About MoDaCo.one

The MoDaCo.one ROM is available for the HTC One X (Tegra 3), HTC One X (S4), HTC One S and HTC One V.

Thanks

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).

And finally...

Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in the download topic at MoDaCo.

Enjoy!

Hey paul,

Can you explain what "Vanilla option using stock ICS components instead of HTC Sense components while retaining stability and core HTC functionality" means? Were all HTC apps removed? What core HTC functionality is required if the HTC apps have been removed/replaced by stock ICS?

Also, I see this is the 1.78 base which mean no TMOUS WiFi calling. Any plans to release a 1.84 TMOUS build?

The HTC call screen remains and the lockscreen (as that interfaces with the call screen), the notification bar etc. is still stock, all the HTC main apps are gone and replaced with ICS versions.

Yes, no TMOUS WiFi calling I guess. I'll look at doing a 1.84 based build, as long as that works OK on international devices!

Does this mean that if we dont have the HTC lockscreen and bake a ROM with the ICS lockscreen, we have to unlock before answering a call? Does using the stock dialler solve this?

Also, has the annoying multi-task issue with the stock ROM been solved here?

Thanks

Correct, it's the phone app not the dialer that causes this - which is still HTC - hence using the HTC lock screen.

I think if you go for the ICS lockscreen, you would have the issue of unlocking first.

About multi-tasking, give this script a try, seeing as this ROM has init.d support.

Yea, it works on all Sense 4.0 ROMs afaik.



Paul, just a quick question. I think I'm going to give the Vanilla a go, but I rely heavily on the HTC Car Panel when driving to\from work. What apk.s will I need to put back in to get it working OK? Thanks!

Automotive* and HtcCar* iirc...

I have just baked and installed my own ROM and I am missing the connect to PC stuff, so I cannot mount my SD card or anything like that.

Can anyone help?

Hmmm, i'm not sure which bit that lives in, i'll check. I assume you went pretty stripped down Vanilla? I wonder if that's in the 'PC Sync' module?

I'll let you know what I find.
