Those are the interesting ones for me. I don't like GPE and AOSP.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing what the sense roms do as they are losing xposed support and the new added security features making mods harder to do.
[One (M7) General] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Well I guess it's time to move to a newer device then fellas..

sent using my 6th sense...
[One (M7) General] geojoking:
Ontopic: The fact that the OTA for M8 is already out, while the HTC Software Updates website still states that the device is in the 2 - Integration stage of the Android Lollipop Release, kind of proves that the website is not updated with the latest info. So probably the update for the M7 is still on track, and not in the 1 - Development stage.

It might be a little offtopic, but I think we will see Android 5.1 with Sense on top, just not official from HTC (if Llabtoofer's information/suggestion is correct). There are still many developers for the One M7, and I consider that M8 roms can/will be ported to the M7, these devices are not that different in specs.
[One (M7) General] ss4adib:
I don't know. For some reason I feel that we 'might' get Sense 7....but who knows...I'm the worlds most unluckiest man.
[One (M7) General] alexxero:
Llabtoofer said we won't get any major updates, i don't think 5.1 will be a major android update. It will still have the same API (level 21), there will only be bug fixes and improvements of lollipop, just like Jelly Bean was 4.1/4.2/4.3 android versions..

As for sense 7, we just have to wait and see what they implement with it, at least we could get a stripped down version of it because they will use newer hardware technologies that the M7 doesn't have.

After all, let's stop speculating and wait.
[One (M7) General] :
Good news fellas. M7 Lollipop is not too late either.

[One (M7) General] Javi22:
Are you gonna move to Lollipop right after the update is available? I've several reasons for waiting some extra time... Be aware that firsts versions are always coming with bugs... And not all apps are compatible

And what's more important, we'll lose xpoosed. For the moment, if I've to chose between Lollipop and Xposed, I prefer to still keeping xpoosed... For now
[One (M7) General] FISHBONE89:
Everyone is talking about Android 5.0 BUT

CID: HTC__032 still did not get the upgrade to 6.09.401.12 ...
[One (M7) General] alray:
Same here

Will probably update just to test it a few days but I'm almost sure I'll switch back to 4.4.3 because of Xposed not compatible with ART
[One (M7) General] GamaPL:
Still same to me.

PS Nice to see other people from Poland here, but its awesome to see people from the same city! Hi :D
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
Don't get me the wrong way but what's so special about xposed? I used it and it has some nice features, but I moved to ART ROM and don't miss it one bit. Benefits of ART are more important than anything xposed has to offer in my opinion.
[One (M7) General] matitorres07:
Totally agree, is part of the fun of developing wait or work or at least help to reach a goal, if we sit and wait comfortably on our chair that other people do the work, I don't see the fun there. Also m8 people reported a great experience.
[One (M7) General] Pacattack:
Alot of countries never got 12, depends if your ota version 11 is ok :)

I got a 11-12 version with OTA ? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[One (M7) General] Javi22:
I've currently seven xposed modules enabled, all of them very useful for me. For example, skipping Amplify and Greenify my battery would worsen a lot...

Btw I've to say I haven't tried art so can't compare hahaha, someday will make the move of course

But the most important thing is stability. I want it above all, and I've read that Lollipop has come with lot of bugs, including excessive battery drains... Also some apps are not compatible yet

So I prefer to wait... Let the updates come, but not being every week flahsing Roms, wiping my data...

Greetings :)
[One (M7) General] alray:
here is the difference (I think) between our two opinion ;)

you said: "I used it and it has some nice features"

I'm saying: "I use it because I need some of its features"

If you don't really need Xposed then I understand why ART benefits are more important for you than Xposed.

It all depend how you are using your phone. Some of us prefer the improved speed and responsiveness that comes with ART and others, like me, prefer these additional functionality made possible with the Xposed framework. Yes there are some Xposed features I don't really care losing, but there are some other that are making my smartphone what it should be, smart.

Not saying that the new version will be a bad one, just saying that I'm still unsure if I'll prefer to be up-to-date using a fresh looking UI or keep an "older" version that work better for my usage even if its slightly slower using Dalvik.
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
I thought I need those features too while I was using it. When I switched I found out I don''t. But you're right, everyone uses his phone in a different way ?
[One (M7) General] alray:
I hope this will be the case when I'll try lollipop + sense, but when I tried gpe lollipop I realized I needed xposed more then ever.

If only Xposed could be ported or "re-written' for ART this would be perfect, no compromise. I know.... false hopes.. ;) will probably never happen or at least, not for tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] eZekielPoland:
I wonder when Poland is gonna get the candy... Hope we won't have to wait too long. Do you guys know how the schedule looks like? US is gonna be the first I guess, but what about the other countries?

LOL, guess what... I'm from Nysa too :D
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
He is working on it but the security updates Google added is making it hard. You have to remember that Samsung gave alot of the Knox code to Google to use to help security. That is why upcoming devices will be harder to crack.
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
Why Google or OEM is doing that if they just don't want anyone modify system they should lock Bootloader permanently

on one hand HTC itself providing Dev edition or Unlocking Bootloader code

Today Android's popularity is because of customization or openness If its not it will be iPhone
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
They are working on it as far as OEM go. Dev and nexus devices are different. Yes but you don't need unlocked bootloader and such to customize your device. You have to look at it from their end. Users brick their device because they do something dumb like flash a rom for the wrong device, then claim warranty. (mind you which is fraud and xda doesn't condone) This doesnt work for them. Take the LG g3 the bootloader is pretty much locked up tight. Something with a few Galaxy devices.

Then you have the big increase in byod in the work place. Root and custom roms are a security issue so what better way to make companies feel they can allow it then making the devices more secure. Why do you think Samsung is looking to buy out blackberry?

In the end if OEM have their way if you want a custom rom you will she'll out the money for a dev or nexus device.
[One (M7) General] yellowflashdude:
Hello guys. I was just wondering how to update my rooted phone. I am a complete newbie when it comes to this. I somehow rooted my phone a year ago and I don't even remember how I did it.

I'm from south east asia so my m7 would be international.
[One (M7) General] saketh91:
You should not be asking this question here in this thread but anyway if you are asking for root, you probably might be running the stock rom. If so then you need to(May be there is a better way) unlock(if locked) bootloader (go to htcdev.com for instructions) ,which would factory reset your device and you may lose data so backup first, and then install a custom recovery like twrp or cwm using "fastboot flash recovery twrp/cwm.img" and then install supersu flashable zip and its done. You are rooted. If you want you can install a custom rom too which comes pre-rooted. Hope it helps :good:
[One (M7) General] yellowflashdude:
Thank you for replying. I'm already rooted. My question is how to update my rooted phone as it wont allow me currently. Ideally I would like to keep my phone rooted after updating it since I heard you could do that.
[One (M7) General] saketh91:
sorry I actually completely misread your question. are you on gpe or sense rom? until you make any kind of changes to the system partition, you are good to go for an update(AFAIK) even if you are rooted. It is recommended that you use stock recovery before installing the OTA or it may fail.
[One (M7) General] Pacattack:
Means that this phone is running in India :laugh:
[One (M7) General] Littlemagic:
I have a stock m7 from att that is no longer under contract. How do I update this thing without the att network? Do I need to root?
[One (M7) General] clsA:

After using gpe lollipop for almost a month I decided to move back to KK sense. I missed xposed. And the sense just feels better on the m7
[One (M7) General] clsA:
I think that's the point, He can't release the Rom until the OTA goes out. Else it would have been out last week when he started posted screens.

If the rom comes out today the OTA comes out today. Whats different in that Screen is it's 7.15.401.1 not .1540

Well the Rom/Firmware is out .. the OTA can't be far behind

Yes there is it's on htc guru with dark bootloader. I flashed it not long ago.

It contains several mids and cids just read text file to see if your particular model is included. Also it can be flashed comfortably with Windows 8.1 which i have.
[One (M7) General] alray:
The 7.15.401 firmware is not the Dev edition firmware even if its compatible with Dev edition cid/mid. x.xx.401.x are WWE versions. When the real 7x version for Dev edition will be released it will be version 7.xx.1540.x
[One (M7) General] El_Svanto:
Strange, I have the same CID, and I got the .12 update like two weeks ago.
[One (M7) General] Jens Christensen:
So, it looks like the next update for the M7 GPE is 5.1. That's the good news. The bad news is no fix for the light in the capacitive buttons before 5.1: Mo Versi on Twitter.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
If the GPE is getting 5.1, then that means that, hopefully, Sense M7s will get 5.1
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
Wouldnt count on it. They would then have to redo sense for the big changes coming in 5.1
[One (M7) General] dd98:
I doubt that HTC (nowadays) will leave two editions of the same phone (Sense & GPE) on different Android base versions, they would have too many people moaning that, basically, the same phone gets a newer version of android but if they do leave GPE on 5.1 and the Sense version on 5.0.x then at least porting Sense 5.1 from the M8 shouldn't be a problem since GPE is basically sense without sense apps
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
Oh its alot more different then just that. They use completely different partition setups. Ill be honest. HTC is focused on the M9 and MWC. I dont think they will really care, mainly if they push the sense version out and then 5.1 hits after that.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
At least there is a good chance of getting a functional port from the m8
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
Maybe but I don't bother with sense anymore. And this will be my last HTC device which is a shame as I have had mostly HTC devices from the HTC touch all the way up. The only one I skipped was the evo.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Sorry for going OT here but I love HTC phones as development devices
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
They were great at one time. Not so much anymore. With the way they are locking things down and with Google giving OEM the ability to completely lock a device down. I see less and less development coming. I mean all it really takes is HTC issuing one C&D order and then all but aosp roms will vanish. Make no mistake that sooner or later that will happen. Then they lock the device down so bad you would have to pay for an unlock like with sunshine (which mind you I don't approve of at all)
[One (M7) General] dd98:
I totally agree with you, and Sunshine's paywall is just wrong. If they are true developers, they would offer it for free and it seems strange how they completely removed the firewater download :confused:
[One (M7) General] archioptrics:
I paid for sunshine and I find the price is cheap, some persons like too much freeness.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
This is due to them not having found exploits but having paid for them instead.

It defeats the point.
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
That's good for you that you can pay

but @ xda most of devs give there service knowledge for free

Rom developers spend more time then sunshine team

for example xposed developers ever asked for money that's most common app just after rooting your phone or [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

ever demand for elemental X kernel so S Off will be easy

They all accept donation [MENTION=494185]LlabTooFeR[/MENTION] donation meter still not full as I think who ever root unlocked HTC must tried his Rom at least once

So we accept donation !!

In my opinion developers who asking money@ xda are on same pathway as oem to close Android freedom
[One (M7) General] dd98:
The price is very expensive for a ONE TIME use. As [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] said "it defeats the purpose" of xda (donations are a different story) and as [MENTION=2044310]yatindroid[/MENTION] said "they are going the way of oems". They are both spot on!
[One (M7) General] ss4adib:
So has there been any update about when the official lollipop will drop?
[One (M7) General] alomex21:
Nowadays if you think that s-off is expensive to pay THAT, go and learn reverse engineering and crack it. But don't post it here.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
There are some already working on it a d it will be posted here if it gets done.
[One (M7) General] alomex21:
Escalated quickly. I'm pretty sure xda will erase the post quickly cuz you know, piracy for developers is something that you cannot erase from the internet.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
Nope. Same thing happened with bump from the LG forums. Some devs reverse engineered it and made it open source. Then the admins made a portal post about it and left it alone.
[One (M7) General] alomex21:
Lol really? Never knew that! When you reverse engineer a closed app and make it Open-source is really an effort to something for the interwebs.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
It's all a matter if what it is. An exploit like s-off is not something that can be copyrighted at all as it is not completely their work. They paid for exploits and didnt find them so all is fair.
[One (M7) General] Howie3045:
i didnt want to pay for s-off but i was in such a mess and knew how much easier it would to fix if i had it. i wasnt disappointed. especially when sunshine just did it after months of trying other ways.

[One (M7) General] sauprankul:

I actually prefer my capacitive lights off. They're distracting and an unnecessary source of power consumption.

It's still weird that HTC pushed an update without fixing that, but it was either winning the arms race or fixing something few care about.
[One (M7) General] geojoking:
I know this post may be a bit off-topic, but I don't understand how there can be so many (already) custom Lollipop Sense 6 ROMs, with the 7.15.401.1 base, but no sign of the official ROM and/or 7.15.401.1 base.

Is the above mentioned base a BETA one, a LEAKED one? What is it?

It's a leak, the base is pre-release. I guess the official OTA will be a little never version.

i am just worried they give lollipop update for customers who have software number 5.12.707.105

cause the device is still on 4.4.2 since htc service said there was a problem instead of getting 104 we got 105 and its been 3 months and they havent fixed the issue
[One (M7) General] alexxero:
I prefer that they respect their clients even with older phones, they said 90 days so 90 days should be, as for releasing a bug free release it shows how much respect they have for us.

The M8 had the same time for developing and no bugs for now, the M7 gets the bugs because most of the time they port the M8 version to the M7 and not everything works the same or is compatibile so still their fault. Even if they would've said 120 days if they don't respect their clients the release would still be buggy.

Does not help

cleared updater data and cache

cleared download manager cache
[One (M7) General] alray:
I don't want to start a debate. Just saying that if they choose to not release the update on time, even if its unfortunate, is probably a better choice than releasing a 95% ready software, because customers will only be complaining about that 5% part of the OS that isn't perfect. I will not feel like if I'm disrespected, as a customer, if the OTA isn't pushed on time.

+ don't forget that (normally) Dev Editions are getting the ota update first then maybe a week after or a little less, WWE versions will get it and then it might take months for branded versions to get it.

And as an example why I think its better to release something late than on time but not ready, just remember when Apple released "Maps" to replace Google Maps on the Iphone. Do you think Iphone owners felt respected by Apple when they were forced to use a broken navigation system? "Hey dude, should we release Maps even if there are bugs making ppl cross airports runways, turn where there is no roads, invert the location of Rome and Pyongyang, showing that Berlin is located in Antarctica and not even able to show the correct locations of Apple stores?" "Sure we should! We promised that the app will on the next iphone which will be launched in 5 days...!".

Then you know what happened, probably the biggest fiasco Apple ever did, just because there was a deadline to respect.
[One (M7) General] FA4DK:
