INSTALLATION

1. Install zip from TWRP Recovery
2. Reboot!


S-OFF recommended for easy installation



later hboot and S-ON:
The installer includes a method to flash the boot.img for S-ON devices using hboot 1.14 or higher;
however, some people still have difficulties. If it doesn't work:

1. extract boot.img from the zip, reboot to bootloader and do:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

2. If you had previously installed ElementalX, be sure to run the installer to get the correct wifi module.



First boot will take a while. Let it load all the way, then let it settle in for a few minutes, then reboot again.



NOTES

Voltage Control
Bulletproof uses HTC default voltages for guaranteed stability. For the adventurous, you can use apps like Kernel Tuner or Venom Tweaks to adjust your voltages manually. Warning: lowering your voltages can result in instability. Please don't report problems if you are undervolting.


Sweep2wake
Sweep2wake can be enabled/disabled using Kernel Tuner, or by typing in terminal:

to enable:
echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

to disable:
echo 0 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake


DoubleTap2Wake
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping in the bottom inch or so of the screen, above the capacitive buttons.

/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

0=disabled
1=enable doubletap2wake


Pocket Detection
Pocket detection protects against accidental wakes while S2W, DT2W or L2W are enabled and the phone is in your pocket. Pocket detection uses the proximity sensor. A few people have a problem with their proximity sensor that makes DT2W not work, so I've made an option to disable pocket detection.

/sys/android_touch/pocket_detect

0=disabled
1=enable pocket detection


Button Light Notification
With Button Light Notification (BLN), the capacitive buttons will blink on and off when you have a new notification. As soon as the screen comes on, BLN is canceled and the lights will no longer blink until you have another notification. Please note that if you have your screen set to turn on when a message arrives, you will not see the buttons blinking because once the screen comes on, the button light notification is canceled.

/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/bln

0 = disabled
1 = BLN enabled



Special thanks:
zarboz and Sbryan12144 for porting S2W
backfromthestorm for fstrim
xHausx and amarullz for installer stuff
tbalden for bln

Re: [KERNEL] Bulletproof-1.0 | stockish with S2W and extended battery life

After installing, my touch screen was unresponsive, as well as the power button. Had to SimPull and install a different kernel.

I'm on Viper 3.1.4, hw 0003, S-Off, hboot 1.12.111, latest firmware sans touch panel drivers.

I think so.

Can anyone confirm?

I am going to try right now. I found the stock kernel. I will keep you posted.

Edit: Can you post the md5 before I give a try.

Edit2: I installed thicklizard's kernel and it does work, so, I would imagine it will also work with this one.

Has anyone got this to work on Viper?

Viper has a lot of scripts that run at boot. I'm guessing something is conflicting. Can anyone post dmesg output, or a logcat, or /proc/last_kmsg

Or have a look at the scripts in /etc/init.d/ and try to figure out if any of those are causing the conflict.


Bulletproof has no scripts of its own and is very close to stock, other than the addition of the few things noted in the OP.

Venom Tweaks has sweep2wake settings, it might be disabled there. You can also use Kernel Tuner to enable/disable sweep2wake.


Also note that I have a different sweep2wake than ThickLizard and Zarboz.

The location of the setting is:

/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake


1 = enable sweep2wake and sweep2sleep
2 = enable sweep2sleep and disable sweep2wake
3 = disable

With setting 2 (sweep2sleep only), you can put the phone to sleep by swiping from right to left, but you cannot wake the phone with a left to right sweep while the screen is off. This setting is for people who have problems with the screen coming on by accident when it's in a damp pocket or something like that.

    Anyone who downloaded 1.4 before the time of this post needs to download it again. There is a bug with the wifi, which I've fixed and reuploaded, but I didn't want to change the version number and all that.


    So redownload and reinstall!!
