When I try to delete something (T-Mobile's loud bootanimation jingle), or try to add something (busybox as a system app), the phone reboots. Also, busybox binaries aren't able to install. AdAway doesn't stay enabled after a reboot. I'm unlocked+rooted+TWRP recovery.
Anyone have a clue whats going on?
EDIT: Flashing a kernel and/or rom that has system write enabled fixes this issue.
I think has to do with S-On being enabled. At least with Adaway.
Seems like an issue with Sense, that'd be my first guess. I know I was having this issue with a previous phone. Sense is linked into a LOT.

I had a HTC G2/DZ, and was able to get s-off via gfree (using command prompt -- ANNOYING). How and when are we able to get s-off for the M7-UL? And does S-off = NAND protected meaning little to no system changes?
Look at the HTC one sub forums. You have to install one of the Roms there to get system write. The HTC one over seas is the same as the tmo one. When I get mine next week, I will be using their roms.

I would, but I keep hearing about radio/RIL+signal issues. But I guess I can just backup my current rom and test out those International ROMs to see if I have any issues. Will report back later.
Aren't there kernels that enable system r/w? I'm not sure if it would mess up WiFi calling thoigh. Is there anything in the kernel for WiFi calling that would be lost with one of the custom kernels?

I'm not sure. I've always been flashing kernels, but never heard about enabling system r/w. I just flash them to get better performance and to tweak it via kernel app.
I've been running ARHD with a custom kernel (for logo2menu) for the last half day, no problems yet. Signal has given me no problems. Switches between 3G/4G here at work, but all my TMO phones have done that simply due to HSPA+ not being so strong here. Even stock ROM did it, even though it always insisted on saying 4G even when it was on UMTS.

Off topic but are you sure that its bad coverage? Most basebands are designed to drop to UMTS when data isn't in use to save battery life over locking two carriers on HSPA...

Definitely coverage. It happens even while I'm using data at times. My work is on the fringe of HSPA+ coverage in this area. When I head into the city, it stays on H+ pretty consistently.

He's correct. 3G = Idle/sleep data -- 4G/H+ = Active data. But our phone just shows 4G constantly, instead of the on/off switch. But what your explaining sounds off. Never seen that, and I just came from a GNex with the 3G/H+ switch.
But anyways, back on topic. I will try tweaked a Sense 5.0 rom when I get home soon. Is there a kernel with touch2wake (screen or htc logo)? Hate where htc placed the power button (i'm right handed, as most ppl).

Well if it helps, I always mean UMTS when I say 3G and always mean HSPA+ when I say 4G. Since that's all I really see around here, besides 2G (Edge) of course.
And I thought I saw a kernel or two with touch2wake, but I could be wrong. I'm using the tbalden kernel which offers a few different tweaks like that (though I only specifically remember volume wake and logo2menu).
Edit: Just checked, and it only had home2wake. Although I imagine if you look at the files used for home2wake and logo2menu, you could probably make one that does logo2wake.

Here's a kernel from the international forum.. I think it'd work but I really dont know. I haven't got my phone yet. It says system write. Probably worth trying though
All HTC One firmware should work on our phone. Unless you flash a radio with the Rom, which is impossible ATM. I'm using trickdroid 5.1 and everything is working fine, apns and all!
Trickdroid has holding the back button as a menu button and it works fine. I'd rather stay on the stock kernel unless someone makes a kernel that is way different than stock.
I do have the tmobile version!

they put the power button there because the power button is also a IR sensor for a TV remote and stuff. I like having the power button on top more since holding the phone up right, you can sometimes hit the power button and not mean too. This is if the power button is on the side. I hit the power button my Nexus 4 1 or 2 times aday because i didn't mean to because it covered by my hand holding the phone.

Keep hearing about trickdroid. Might be my first rom to test out on this phone. Glad to hear its working well for you. And the funny thing is, I like to see the on-screen menu button. I'm coming from the GNex with on-screen buttons. So "seeing" the menu button in a "legacy" app is really nice instead of "guessing" there might be a menu. Wish all apps followed Google's App Guidelines by now.

Well I know about the IR sensor. But I was saying its in a bad spot on the TOP. It should be on the right side on the TOP, so you can easily hit it with your trigger finger. Now I have to awkwardly hit the power button. The right side of the phone would've been nice also. That;s why I can't wait to flash a kernel with touch2wake (double tap the screen or tap the htc logo).
Definitely can second the TrickDroid recommendation, although there aren't huge differentiators between any of the international ROMs I've tried (TrickDroid, Android Revolution, OrDroid). Many of the tweaks are available as standalone flashables or through Xposed framework too, if you're familiar with that.
As for kernels, I'm using tbalden's kernel. It has both menu on HTC logo and touch to wake, though I don't use the latter.
Basically if you're interested in ROMs/kernels, don't waste your time here, go to the international One forum. As others have mentioned, all international ROMs work on all GSM variants of the One, including ours.

I've already have (rom+kernel). Check the sig .. But hopefully we start to get some great Tmo based roms. Or atleast some kinda internal stuff in the rom to enable during the flash/aroma process.

what is the difference between these two ics roms, which do you prefer, and if the evo 4g lte hasnt a removable battery, then people like us will def be bricking and going broke because, a battery pull is the only way to stop a freeze? please comment,
I'm bias of the first question, but to your second question, the hardware reset currently employed on the evo 3d (power + both volume up and volume down) will power down the evo 4g lte, much similar results of a battery pull, or pushing and holding the power button on a computer
that usually works, however, i just froze on viper rom and that didnt work, i HAD to remove battery or else bricked
im just saying, no removable battery is def going to be not good for rooters, because if you forget to check usb debugging and power plus volume buttons doesnt work... then what?.
oh didnt realize it was you, thank you so much for viper rom, it runs so great... im on h boot 1.5 s-on so i needed chads altered kernel to work, when it booted it was choppy, but after a few reboots and battery pulls its perfect... thank you so much so much appreciated, you guys are the best... you and mean rom ar ejust the best ever

You should ask around the Droid Razor forum's and see what they do but I'm sure the power volume reset should work. And USB debugging is automaticly checked in roms I believe.

This specific issue had some of us
worried in the evo 4G Lte thread. When the one first became available, Srg slaughter posted in their forum yo have people test the button combo to see if it just rebooted, or powered off the phone. I believe the results were that it reset, but you could get into recovery via toss method, which I could never achieve on the 3d. I've also heard people say that the button combo flat out powers down the phone...either way, it seems that this won't be an issue.

Thanks for your support man. And far as which ROM to choose. It's all personal preference, flash and try them both out for a few days and see which one fits the way you use your phone better.
I vote for Mean. Mikeyxda is almost too quick to get stuff fixed in the ROM. I have a hard time keeping up with his releases
I like both along with Clean, especially the Developer Edition (Senseless), but for the moment I prefer Mean with LeeDroid.
Both ROMs and developers are great. I'd choose one that has the options you like most.
I'm pretty down with the HTC One I just recieved yesterday, but the only thing that is bothering me is all this stupid junk AT&T stuck in there. The fact that I cannot tether either is a bit disheartening. I see there are a few ROMS in the developers subforum, but I haven't been able to check them out yet. Do any of those roms fit that description and if so, which one is the LEAST modified?
I've been using Android Revolution HD 6.0 from the international forums. Certain ROMs do work on our AT&T variants. It has basically everything that the standard Sense has, with tweaks. No AT&T bloatware. I've also been getting pretty awesome battery life. You may want to check it out.

If you do decide to try it, make sure to read the entire original post before you do. There is instructions in there about using the volume buttons to select items in the Aroma installer. If you don't, your install may freeze.
I'm hoping we'll be able to flash our AT&T Ones to turn them into the same thing as the Developer Edition that's sold directly by HTC. I've been keeping on eye out for news of this becoming reality but haven't seen anything so far...

if you have an unlocked bootloader its basically the same thing as the dev edition. and once we have S-OFF we will be able to flash official RUU's to the phone
Would the De-odexed ROM allow me to remove the crap AT&T put on the phone? If so, this will probably be the route I'll go, well, as soon as I get my extra dropbox space anyway.

Can't you use the tool kit (in the Android Development section) to root and uninstall via Titanium? I've always done that with stock roms in the past.

+1 for ARHD 7.0, running flawlessly. I'm totally new to Android and flashing ROMs, the ARHD dev and the threads over in the international forum make the whole process easy to learn. I played with the phone for about 2 hours before I became completely fed up with the AT&T claws dug into every aspect of the software, coming from an iPhone I had not realized how bad the bloatware problem has become.

Yeah, what really got me was that even after a day or two of using the phone, the AT&T Address book sync message would still pop up. I had already declined it and stopped any syncing to it. Then, to top it off, after I had already been on several long calls using the phone, the CityID message pops up saying that I'm now in a trial period? It made me decide to go ARHD without a regret. De-bloated, stable, and battery is great for me.
Also went with ARHD. Working wonderfully so far.
Everyone can flash Int'l ROMs with no trouble. ARHD is a great ROM with a great Dev. Give it a try. A make sure you read before you start complaining about LTE signal strength.. The official ATT ROMs fake your signal to make it look better than it is. The Int'l ROMs are the actual strength.

Thanks for the tid bit!! I'm thinking about this ROM as well. The only thing I really need though is Wifi Tethering. Do you know if it can do it without paying AT&T for it? I'm sure some ROMS will have it soon enough. I would even use FOXFI if it would work.
With the ONE I just can't seem to get around AT&T. I'm in the ball park like many others who think tethering should be free. I get the whole "you are paying just for your phone service" and not your laptop or ipad and such; I just don't agree with it, so won't ever pay for it. I'll pay for MP3's, I'll pay for Apps, I just don't think I should line AT&T's pockets for something I already pay for "DATA".
Ok Rant Over. I got out of control there. I apologize.

With ARHD you can turn on Mobile Hotspot and everything I just don't know if ATT will pick up if you're using it. I know with CM, I've used tethering and ATT never said a thing to me. So I'm guessing use it till they send you something.

I posted a ATT Wifi hotspot mod in the dev section yesterday for stock/rooted (deodexed or odexed)
Also - I may be off base, but as far as debloating is concerned, we should be able to do this with an updater script in a recovery flashable package where it's just deleting the packages we don't want. As long as it's done in recovery it should stick on reboot. If we want to start a list of what should be removed, I can put a script together to remove them via recovery and we'll see how it works. (Edit - Working on it now)
Edit: well it removed them from /system/apps, but a few are still showing installed. Guess we'll have to get rid of the data they've created as well? Still playing... either way i managed to get these out of /system/app/:
ATT Device Help, Address Book Sync, Amazon Kindle, CityID, Drive Mode, Family Map, Hot Spot (ATT's), Locker, Messages (ATT's), myATT, navigator (ATTs), Promo Widget, Ready2go, SmartWifi, YPmobile

Edit: Almost there...
Running Renovate on my AT&T HTC One and it is great. You guys should check it out. Clean rom with AT&T bloat removed, great battery, and some great tweaks.

Thanks tons! Looks like all the AT&T crud is gone! Totally appreciate this. So far no issues.
And no bloat returns after 2 reboots.
Just wondering, is this 100% uninstall?
I have an AT&T HTC One arriving shortly as a new customer on AT&T. I understand I have 14 days to try it out, so I want to make sure I put it to a full test. This will be my first HTC device since the Windows Mobile days, so I have a few questions to ask before starting to use my phone. I am not entirely for sure, but I will probably end up rooting and using custom roms, but probably not until the 14 days are over. With that in mind, here are my questions:
1) Should I unlock the bootloader right away? I understand that doing so erases everything on my phone, but it should not cause any problems if I decide to return the phone, right?
2) If I decide to root after the 14 days are up, I do not have to wipe the phone again, do I?
3) If I decide to use a custom rom, do I understand correctly that I will indeed have to wipe the phone again (but not the /sd card contents???) Meaning, my pictures/videos and all that will remain, but I will have to wipe the system?
4) My area does not yet have LTE (coming later this summer), so is there a way for me to turn it off to save on battery, or do I even need to attempt this?
5) I've been using an iPhone 5 since launch and it is still scratch-free without using a case. I'd prefer not to use a case with the One as well, and I only have my phone in my pocket. Is it reasonable to expect that my One will hold up as well as the iPhone 5 in this area?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions,
Travis
1.yes,but it will show tampered in the bootloader but att employees don't usually check so as long as you flash the ruu before you return you should be fine
2.yes, you do because unlocking the bootloader causes the phone to wipe
3.yes, it is recommended to wipe only system and data but not your sdcard
4.if you don't have it in your area then you don't even need to mess with it
5.yes, because I've been using my phone for a while now with no case and everything looks fine but sometimes I do put my case on when I'm clummsy.

Regarding #2, are you saying that if I am already bootloader unlocked and then decide to root at a later time, I *will* have to completely wipe the phone again? Or is it just the initial bootloader unlock that requires the full wipe?
i seriously doubt you will be returning this phone before the 14 days. especially if your coming from the iphone 5. this is the only phone that rivals the build quality of iphones. i have had mine since the release for tmobile and not one scratch on it. my girl has the iphone 5 and imo it cant touch this phone.
if apple and android had a baby it would be the htc one.

Well that's exactly what I'm looking for.
I go back and forth between iOS and Android on a yearly basis, it seems. I've had the iPhone 5 since launch on Verizon, and I just returned the Samsung GS4 because it was very laggy and was locking up at least once per day. I'm going to try the HTC One on AT&T (even though the One has just been confirmed for Verizon later this summer) because I am tired of Verizon's policies. I'm tired of them taking longer than anyone else to get phones. I'm tired of their "customizations" like the persistent WIFI notification on the GS4 that no other carrier has. I'm tired of their locked bootloaders and locked down CDMA network. I'm sure AT&T will have its share of frustrations, but LTE is coming in my area this summer and I'm looking to try something different. I'm keeping my Verizon line for now since I have unlimited data on it, but I'm thinking the 5GB plan on AT&T will be more than enough (and I get a 25% discount through my employer).
Thanks for the help, guys.

I go back and forth between iOS and Android on a yearly basis, it seems. I've had the iPhone 5 since launch on Verizon, and I just returned the Samsung GS4 because it was very laggy and was locking up at least once per day. I'm going to try the HTC One on AT&T (even though the One has just been confirmed for Verizon later this summer) because I am tired of Verizon's policies. I'm tired of them taking longer than anyone else to get phones. I'm tired of their "customizations" like the persistent WIFI notification on the GS4 that no other carrier has. I'm tired of their locked bootloaders and locked down CDMA network. I'm sure AT&T will have its share of frustrations, but LTE is coming in my area this summer and I'm looking to try something different. I'm keeping my Verizon line for now since I have unlimited data on it, but I'm thinking the 5GB plan on AT&T will be more than enough (and I get a 25% discount through my employer).
Thanks for the help, guys.

this phone doesnt lag. probably the closes thing to the smoothness of ios. and yea dont get that cdma garbage from verizon at&t,tmo or developer version is the way to go as far as custom rom options at least for now. if you want more in depth info check out mike1986. review of the phone. he has only done the first part of the review but he is a developer over on the international thread for this phone.

Thanks for the reassurance. The lag on the GS4 was unbearable and even worse than I expected given my previous experience with the GS3 a year ago. Even after turning off every S-feature I could find, enabling the developer options and changing the animations, and disabling as much bloatware as I could, the phone still lagged when scrolling and just felt unresponsive at times.
If I really like it, I don't know how long I'll hold onto my Unlimited Data plan on Verizon. On AT&T, I understand that unlimited data users are throttled after 5GB anyway, right? I think 5GB will be plenty, as I normally hover in the 3-4GB range on Verizon each month (and that's with a good deal of music streaming and Youtube watching). I guess if I go over once in a while, I can afford the $10 for an extra gig now and then.
My only concerns right now are battery life and the buttons. I've seen mixed reports on battery life - some saying it is abysmal, others saying it's actually very good. I'm keeping my expectations tempered as I've just been using two of the better phones in this area (iPhone 5 and GS4). I'm not expecting battery life to be as good as those, but if it can last my through my 8 hours of work (no WIFI there), then I'll be okay.
The buttons, I'm sure I'll get used to. But I'm definitely looking forward to the 4.2.2 update that allows for the long press of Home for Menu, right? Will this also give you the option to get rid of the Menu bar that appears below non-standard apps that don't conform to Google's specs?
For those who are still engaged with the conversation, I have a few more specific questions about customizing if you don't mind... Since this is my first HTC Android device, there are some terms and methods I am not familiar with. I've used the Galaxy Nexus and the GS3 in the past and was able to understand enough to unlock the bootloaders and install custom roms on those devices. However, when reading about the HTC One, there are some things I do not yet understand:
1) I understand that the AT&T, T-Mobile, and International versions are basically identical hardware-wise, right?
2) What is CID, Hboot, and RUU? I don't remember having to deal with any of those terms with the Nexus and GS3. All I understand about the HTC One so far is that I need to unlock the bootloader at HTC's website. I'm sure I can also follow the instructions to root the device. Installing recoveries and custom roms is where things start to get a little foggy for me with this device.
3) I'm probably going to want to stick with a stock rom of some type because I am actually looking forward to some of the HTC features (especially with the camera). If the "Android Experience" rom still has some of the custom software for the camera, etc, then I might be interested in that. Otherwise, I just want to be rooted at 4.2.2 with a debloated device running as smoothly and as stable as possible.
Thanks!

1- yes pretty much the same
2- cid is your phone id which tells you what ruu you need. ruu is the stock rom your phone came with. hboot you really dont need to worry about until we get s-off
3- all the custom sense roms include all the htc features so no worries there
---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------
and btw with the battery life when i first got my htc one battery life was average at best but after a few battery cycles it improved.
first week probably averaged about 10-12 hrs with 6hrs on data with the rest wifi
second week 15-20 hrs with 6 hrs data
after that it pretty much leveled out and i average around 30 hrs 6 hrs on data and anywhere from 4-7 hrs screen time and all data is lte i dont turn data to 4g or 3g to save battery. so the first 7-10 days you might be cutting it close to get through the day on a single charge. a lot depends on signal strength though. i think most of those bad battery threads were from people who just got the phone and battery wasnt good at first. might also be because of stock rom. i flashed a custom sense rom the first day i got the phone
Ok, I got my HTC One today and so far I am loving it! However, I am disappointed to see that there is a persistent notification for "Power Saver". Argh, on the GS4 there was a persistent notification for WIFI (on Verizon), and now this one. What is it with these guys and their non-removable persistent notifications? I guess they think people are that stupid (and maybe most are on), but there should at least be an option to turn it off.
So from what I'm reading, the only thing I can do is to force close it each time, or to root my device and install a mod? Really?

yea pretty much but not really an issue for me because i never intended to stay stock
oh and btw s-off has just been released in the international forum so you might want to keep an eye over there. with that you will be able to go back to complete stock without any trace of unlocking and rooting
hows the smoothness for you? i know your an iphone guy and i would like to hear your feedback

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the notification either because I will eventually root and rom... not for a while though.
I am in love with the design of the phone, to be an honest. I feel it tops my iPhone in almost every way in terms of hardware. The iPhone is still more smooth, but I think it's more a matter of Apple prioritizing the touch response and animations over everything else. The One is definitely more smooth than the GS4, though, and I noticed that right away. The Facebook app still stutters, but I think that's just Facebook's fault... it stutters if you scroll before everything has loaded.
I've set up Nova launcher with a shortcut to Blinkfeed (which I actually like). Disappointed that I can't use the HTC widgets in Nova, but I'm finding replacements. Charging the battery now (which I read takes longer than average), and tonight at work will be my first "real" test with the phone.
Thanks for replying.

you can make another screen your home screen with sense launcher so you dont have blinkfeed in your face everytime you unlock the phone. and just so you know i just tried the s-off and it works on my tmo htc one. i successfully got s-off tampered removed and supercid. its confirmed working for at&t also

Yes, I figured out the Blinkfeed thing. Right now I am using Nova Launcher with a shortcut to Blinkfeed when I want to use it. The only thing bad about using Nova is that a bunch of the HTC widgets are not there anymore to use. Power toggles, Clocks/Weather, FM Radio widget, etc are all missing when using Nova Launcher. I understand that HTC widgets are only visible when using the Sense launcher? That's a bummer...
So explain again what the advantage of s-off is? Just so you can go back to completely stock if something goes wrong?
I think I will wait for this upcoming 4.2.2 OTA before deciding whether to unlock my bootloader and/or root. I'll take the time right now just to learn the phone and start reading all of the forums.

with s-off and supercid you can install the ruu/ota from any htc one variant except sprint/verizon. but you could use the international ota which is 4.2.2

Ah, I see. With the AT&T OTA update rumored to be coming out in the next week or two, I think I'll just wait right now before jumping in.
Ironically, LTE just lit up in my area (Quad Cities, Davenport IA area) last night, so I was able to try that out as well!
So my first night at work with the new phone was very successful. Here are some things I noticed when comparing the One to my normal usage on the iPhone 5 with Verizon:
- LTE speeds on AT&T were comparable to Verizon at my workplace. However, AT&T had better penetration because my iPhone (and past LTE Android phones) would drop down to 3G deep inside the building, whereas AT&T stayed on LTE the whole time. In fact, I think the One has only dropped down to 4G (HSPA+) one or two times since I got it, whereas the Verizon phones constantly change between 3G and LTE.
- Battery life on the One was surprisingly good! My normal 8-hour shift consists mostly of playing Doggcatcher podcasts at 1.5 speed through Bluetooth headphones. I also use the phone on my breaks, along with a bit of Hotspot tethering for my iPad. With my iPhone 5, I'm normally at 40-50% battery life when I leave work, and the One was right about there as well. I would say that the One is very efficient when the screen is off, but a bit of a sucker when using the screen. That's to be expected, especially with that nice bright screen. Overall, I am very pleased and quite relieved to discover that I'll make it through a day of work no problem.
- The speakers are amazing! This is the first phone I can actually listen to music on without cringing. Having the speakers in the front of the phone is huge advantage as well. The iPhone 5 is no slouch in the audio department, but the One is noticeably better.
- I like the screen better on the One compared to the Galaxy S4. The latter has better blacks and contrast, but lacks color accuracy and is practically unviewable outdoors. I am definitely getting spoiled by these high DPI displays! The extra screen real estate on the One compared to the iPhone is liberating. Apple needs to release a larger screen iPhone now - not next year - because nobody who uses the larger 1080p screen is ever going to go back to the puny 4" screen again.

As you start reading up on the forums you may find the posts about how AT&T "fluffs" the signal. I am running the international trick droid ver 7.0.0 and it does have the same speed just the signal bar is not tweaked for simulated better signal. Also this rom has build options to remove the three dot menu as well as debloat and turn off power save notification. It runs like butter no laggs. I dont have or use FB so i cant speak for it. Keep us posted on how you like it.
I recently got my hands on a shiny new HTC One and I really do love it. Loving out even more now that it's rooted and I removed all that crap AT&T put on it. (tards)
Anyway, I had some questions for the community. I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus and I had CM installed so I'm used to a lot of things like battery % in the status bar and the daydream app.
Thing is, I kinda like the new sense (minus the launch and blinkfeed) and I'm really wanting to stay on stock if it's possible. I know that whenever the new update arrives I'll have the coveted % but what about daydream?
If anyone gots some info on that I'd really aprreciate it.
Oh and I also really miss the battery/power menu on vanilla android. Does anyone know if there is an app or a mod that I can use to get the same experience?
Thanks

I think many of us AT&T One owners here on XDA are running 4.2.2 ROMs from the International HTC One section due to their perfect compatibility (no need to change CID, go S-OFF or flash firmwares to run ROMs from that section, and all AT&T-specific issues from the 4.1.2 days are resolved) since the AT&T section is a ghost town in comparison. That is how you have your cake and eat it too, as your title says.
To answer your first question, the stock based HTC One 4.2.2 ROMs do have built-in daydream and stock battery %, so the AT&T update to 4.2.2 (if and when it ever comes) should have these features also.
I know you said you wanted to stay on stock if possible, but keep in mind that AT&T is holding back this phone's potential. Since you're already used to 4.2.2, and we can all wait on AT&T until the cows come home, you may want to consider just biting the bullet and flashing a stock rooted HTC Sense 4.2.2 ROM. There's one here in the AT&T dev section that is an excellent option if you're wanting to stay stock, based on the latest build from HTC. The stock AT&T radio works fine with it BTW.
In the new 4.2.2 ROMs, HTC has gotten rid of the black menu bar in apps by officially providing the option of mapping a long-pressing of the home button to the menu function. If you end up finding out that long pressing the home button intermittently acts like a single press, upgrading to the matching 4.2.2 firmware helps significantly with improving the sensitivity of the capacitive touch buttons, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves...just wanted to mention it. However the new firmware won't work with the stock 4.1.2 AT&T ROM.
Thanks for the info and the link.

Nevermind, I got it. Although, now I'm kinda scared to flash it cuz since I rooted there's been some screwy things going on. I was using Titanium Backup to delete some att apps and some of them keep coming back like Facebook and Twitter. When I go to superuser it says that it needs to update binary and then it tries but then it says it can't and that it's a problem. I can manually go into TWRP and flash stuff as I did with a script that supposedly wiped the crapware from att but I'm still not sure about flashing something custom.
any ideas or should I just go for it.
Also, I'm guessing that since it didn't give a limk for Gapps then I don't need them right?

Stock kernel has write protection for the /system folder. You'll need to flash a custom ROM that has the write protection removed. Much easier to flash a custom ROM than to mess with the **** AT&T has done to it.

Yes that is the International section.
If you want to stay on the stock rooted ROM, you can just disable those apps instead of deleting them, using the method built into Android (Settings>>Apps>>find your app and disable it), or alternatively you can freeze them in Titanium. This doesn't require write access to the system partition. These disabled apps will still occupy a small amount of file space but they won't be running anymore and using up RAM, and their respective icons will be gone.
You can flash a custom ROM from either the AT&T section or the International section. The International section has a much better selection and the threads are much more active. There are rooted stock ROMs (Sense and Google Edition) and custom ROMs (Sense, Google Edition and AOSP). AOSP ROMs on the One are pretty good now but there are a few issues with them, and you lose features like Beats and Zoe if you care about those things.
you can still get the HTC Sense camera for GPE. Works for me, with the exception that I can't click to my gallery from the camera itself (but the pictures do save there).

Me too, but I used Zoe's before, and they dont work with the GPE framework...too many files missing. You can search through the forums to try various things based on the GE rom you've flashed though. I ended up going to ARHD, which has all the features OP asked for anyway.
I'm hoping someone else has already solved this issue, but I seem to be running into serious problems with AOSP CM ROMs with regards to the power button. Recently I actually bricked my original EVO 4G LTE and got a "new" one via the insurance replacement program with Sprint. I immediately obtained rooted, installed recovery, and obtained S-off. I then proceeded to install CM10.2 (deck's build) and am actually still running 9/20 version of this ROM.
My problem with the power-button is that it sometimes does not respond to a press where it may not wake the screen or sleep the screen. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or more presses to get it to respond. Additionally, sometimes after the screen sleeps it will immediately wake again. It's as if the button is not properly de-bounced. My first thought was that the power-button was physically broken.
So as an experiment I rolled back to previous versions of CM10.1 and got the same results, even after clean flashes. Then I tried rolling back the stock ROM which came with the phone, from a nandroid backup. Shockingly, no power button issues at all. So with a sense based ROM, it seems to work perfectly, but a AOSP based ROM (specifically, CM10.x) I see the issues.
Could this be a kernel issue? Anyone else seen or resolved this issue already?
Thanks. Sincerely,
Frustrated.
Yeah I have that sometimes too although occasionally it won't even wake up and will have shut off by itself

Promising update.
I updated the latest TP firmware from Captain Throwback, on a whim. While it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue, it seems much improved. The jury is still out - and it's only been an hour or so since I installed, so this is hardly enough data to say definitively. But promising.

Yup, spoke too soon. Still having issues. The search continues.
I just got a replacement evo lte and my power button sucks.. I gotta hold it down for a few seconds to wake or lock and that was before root.. I'm rooted now and on sense 5 r145 but I use the swipe to unlock and lock and it works great.. I said forget the power button...

So your power button was bad with the stock ROM too? That's a bummer. At least mine seems to work OK with the stock ROM. Maybe I should try some modified stock ROMs to see if there is a difference there.
You're not alone. My brother and I both have EVO's and we're both experiencing this issue. It's annoying as hell having to press the power button multiple times to wake the device. Didn't start having this issue until the end of the CM.1 cycle. I also went back to Sense and found no problems. It only appears to occur on non sense ROMs. Does anyone have any insight to this or possibly a fix?
It's a kernel issue. That problem did not pop up until the 3.4 kernels started coming out.

Well that's great news (sort-of) and means that some day someone could potentially resolve this in the kernel. Maybe we need to X-Post with the CM10.2 development forum, unless they are already aware and are working on this.

I'm hoping someone else has already solved this issue, but I seem to be running into serious problems with AOSP CM ROMs with regards to the power button.
Could this be a kernel issue? Anyone else seen or resolved this issue already?

There were certain nightly/kernel mixes with the 10.2 and Haunted kernel that seemed to clear it up for me.
I can't for the life of me remember which combination. Sorry.
One thing that alleviated that for me a bit was enabling "Volume Buttons Wake Up Handset" or whatever it was.

Cool, I think I may try the Haunted Kernel. Nandroiding first of course. I will report back later.
Yeah try a new kernel and use kernel tuner and turn on the Swype to wake option it is pretty cool..

Haunted Kernel 31 + Unofficial CM10.2 9/20 Build (Deck) appears to still have issues. Although it seems a bit better than before. As to whether this introduces new issues, I'm not sure yet.
The work on the kernel is ongoing. Trust me, it's way better than it was before.

Yup, expected to have a few hiccups using bleeding edge ROMs & kernels. Glad to hear that these types of things are being addressed. The Haunted kernel definitely makes things much, much better. It's definitely daily driver quality now.
As a side note, I've also noted that the WiFi seems to work better with the Haunted kernel as well. Not sure if that's related, but where I used to have difficulty staying connect to WiFi at home and at work, it now seems rock solid. Still a bit too early to be definitive, but so far so good.

Haunted Kernel is still behind some, last I checked. So while you may have some benefits, you will lose/miss some fixes/optimizations. But to each his own.

Good to know. I will keep flashing and keep trying the new builds as they become available. For now, this seems to be a good combo for me. The current Haunted governor actually kinda seems to be draining the battery fast so I may tweak that. Anyway, thanks for all the responses here, this has really enlightened me on this issue.
Hey.. I'm behind for a reason
