[ROM][Nov 09] Navalynt's Optimized Base | RC1 Update 2 | 1.23.1540.1 | T6UL (GSM Only)

Introduction

My intention with this ROM is to create an optimized but stable base that I can use for my daily ROM and from which others can customize for their own ROM releases. I have no intention of spending large swathes of my time with programming and debugging for custom features, many of which can be added through the Xposed Framework. As much as I would like to do that I just don't have the time so please don't take offense to the fact that I have no feature request section and may just plain say no if asked to add something.

Please feel free to take this base and build off of it to create your own custom ROMs!


Features

• Android 4.3 "Jelly Bean"
• HTC Sense 5.5
• ROMSoftware Version 1.23.1540.1
• Kernel Version 3.4.10
• Unsecure Kernel
• Deodexed
• * Rooted w/ Koush's opensource Superuser
• Most HTC logging stuff removed (not sure if I got it all)
• wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180 (battery savings)
• ViPER4Android FX
• 1% Incremental Battery and Charging Animation (thank you Onepagebook!)
• Init.d script support

Init.d scripting from baadnewz from his InsertCoin series of ROMs which does the following:

• zipalign /data, /system/app, and /system/framework on boot for APKs that have not been zipaligned already
• SQLite database vaccum
• Fixing permissions on boot
• Unmounting the debug filesystem

ViPER4Android FX
Version 2.3.1.3

A special shout-out and thank you to ViPER520 and zhuhang for creating such an awesome audio enhancement and giving me permission to include it with my ROM!

• Official Website for ViPER4Android FX
• XDA-Developer thread

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that if you are not already familiar with ViPER4Android FX that you read through the SETTINGS EXPLAINED and FAQ sections of their website!

Apps installed to /data (so you can easily uninstall them):

• ES File Explorer
• Xposed Framework Installer
• Adaway
• Google Keyboard (from KitKit)

** Apps installed to /system/app for security reasons:

• Cerberus

** KitKat Apps on /system/app:

• Updated Google Play Books
• Updated Gmail
• Updated Hangouts
• Updated Play Games
• Calculator
• Gallery
• Camera (in addition to the Sense 5.5 camera, currently FC on PhotoSphere though)
• QuickOffice (replaces Polaris)
• Google Keep
• Desk Clock

* If you want to use SuperSU instead, click HERE to download the zip for version 1.65 and flash it after the ROM
** system/apps stuff can be removed using TitaniumBackup if there is something you don't want

The associated baseband with this ROM is 4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01L. I have a copy of the firmware to flash, however, this will only work if your device is S-OFF. If you have an S-OFF device please PM me and I can provide this for you.

**WARNING**
Currently if you unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.com it will disable your fingerprint scanner! You will need to use scotty1223's method HERE to fix the problem.

How to install a Custom Recovery
There are two current options from Flyhalf205

• TWRP v2.6.3.0
• CWM v6.0.4.4 (touch or classic)

It doesn't really matter which one you use, it's all personal preference. Just download one, reboot to the bootloader (Power + Vol Up), and flash using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

After flashing the recovery you'll want to reboot into the recovery and IMMEDIATELY make a NANDROID BACKUP. There are no RUUs available (that I know of) so if something goes wrong you need a backup you can restore! My personal recommendation is that you backup to an external SD card and also keep a copy of the clockworkmod or twrp backup store on your computer for safe keeping.

How to Install the ROM
ROM performs a FULL WIPE (except for internal/external SD storage)

1. First of all, have you made your NANDROID BACKUP yet?
2. Copy the ROM to either Internal or External SD (doesn't really matter)
3. Reboot to recovery and flash the zip file!

FULL ROM DOWNLOAD (RC1 Build 2)

Update from RC1 Build 1 to RC1 Build 2

Hotfix 1 for Build 2 - Flash this if you are having issues with SystemUI force closing after a clean install of RC1 Build 2

No source links available for kernel or ROM as they are stock from HTC which has not yet released source.

I can't really talk about the base except that the 1540 designation in the build number says it's a developer edition. The only way to know if it's going to work on your phone is to try it out. Just make a nandroid first so if it doesn't work you can just restore your stock ROM.

It should work so long as your phone model is t6ul.

Uh oh
Hoping you can help me Mr developer
Flashed with success, no bootloop, howether,
I've got no SIM or network access and in mobile data tab everything is blacked out. Upon further investigAting I've also lost my imei

I'll still await your input as to how to get around the issue when flashing that rom

This is a new phone so people please back up like op said, it will save you

What wireless network are you on?

 

[garyfl]

What wireless network are you on?

If you mean phone network then it's giffgaff which runs on the o2 network

UK unlocked 16gb max

The RIL files within the ROM are for US bands, so from what you are describing it's possible this ROM simply will not work with your carrier.

Edit: Added as a known issue for now. It would be awesome if at least one more person on O2 or an O2 based MVNO would test and verify.

After half day running, the Rom is quite stable, smooth, thanks guy.

Because my phone is unlocked it wouldn't matter if I used Vodafone, tmobile or 3, the mobile internet settings were completely greyed out and, when I inputted a code into dialer and went to phone settings it was set to wcdma

Unlocked just means you can put in another carriers SIM card. If your phone wasn't unlocked you would get a popup asking to enter a subsidy code.

The RIL is the radio interface layer. In simplest terms it acts as the go-between for the operating system and the actual cellular radio on the phone. If the ROM has a RIL file that is not compatible with the radio in your phone then cellular data will simply not work.

That is what the problem sounds like to me because restoring your nandoid (going back to stock) fixed the issue. I've tested this ROM on several handsets with several SIM cards and had reports via PM from several users that this ROM is working fine for them so the only thing I can think of an incompatibility between the RIL and cellular radio.

We're still in the infant stages of development for the HTC One Max so there's probably going to be several other pronounced differences between handsets depending on where they are sold.

One thing you could try is pulling these files from your stock ROM and pushing them to the custom ROM:
/system/lib/libhtc_rilhook.so
/system/lib/libril.so
/system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
/system/lib/libril-qcril-hook-oem.so

The easiest way to do this would be use adb pull on your computer while booted as stock, then replace those files in the ZIP for the custom ROM before transferring it to your phone to flash.

If you try this please post what happens!

could you include beats from the 4.3 rom of the htc one ?

How about Viper4Android instead. There are A LOT of extra options to customize the audio with that than with Beats (which is really just a equalizer preset). Plus it's still being actively developed and the developers don't mind integration with custom ROMs so long as proper credit is given for the work.

I'll see if I can put together a supplimental ZIP file tomorrow which adds Viper4Android and update a FAQ section with info on it as well some info on using ROM Cleaner v2.0 to get rid of the Sense elements that are unwanted. I personally get rid of most of it but I don't want to maintain a separate "slim" rom or start maintaining a fancy Aroma installation unless it's absolutely necessary.
