Downgrading to the M7 Rom

Santod, do you foresee any problems flashing the M7 (GPE) ROM over the M8 ROM? As much as I love the M8 ROM, I need BT and GPS on my daily driver.

I should mention that I'm on the 1.10.605.15 firmware.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Not aware of any bluetooth issues.

You should really update your firmware, as it may be why you are having issues with it.

GPS is being looked into.

As far as flashing over the m7 port, I have no idea what result you will get from doing that.

That's not a process I would do, nor have I tested that for any reason.

Best I can say is make a backup and try it.

If it doesn't work, either restore the backup or do a full wipe and reflash the m7 port.

Either way, you really should be on the current firmware to run kitkat roms, if you don't want unexpected or undocumented issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] topm03:
A few people (including myself) have posted about phone over bluetooth not working. It connects, but all you get is silence. Other profiles (like A2DP) work just fine.

I'll upgrade my firmware to 3.11.605.1 and let you know if anything changes with regard to BT.

Thanks for the awesome roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] topm03:
Upgraded to the latest firmware, then reflashed the M8 ROM. Still no GPS lock and no phone over BT.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
Yes, I'm on latest firmware. But I ended up flashing this and having no functioning radio. Which is guess is that uncommon bug that pops up sometimes when flashing different ROMs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
What does your baseband show?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
1.13.41.0109_2
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Try wiping and reflashing the ROM now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
When I wipe, then flash. The device reboots immediately after what appears to be a successful attempt. But then the phone just reboots 2 times and ends up back in recovery. If I just flash again, without wiping, I am able to manually restart the phone from recovery, like normal, but then the ROM boots up and I am stuck at the setup wizard with no radio and no way to connect to wifi.

And this time, it seemed to work. Ah well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I think that mobile data is turned off by default in this build. So you either use WiFi for the setup or skip it and turn mobile data on.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
By the way GPS seems to work for me. I haven't tried Bluetooth yet. And as what seems to be across the board with Santod's ROMs, at least in my experience, the new Google Camera FCs when attempting to use other features besides the basic camera/camcorder function.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
You are able to get a proper lock and turn by turn navigation in google maps?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xaalfx:
Does anyone know of any mod for this ROM that makes the home and back button blink when there's a notification?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Yea it is backlight notification and you turn it in in trickster mod.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
I got a proper lock, but I guess I didn't try turn by turn to check that out yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nprez:
Hello everyone, and thank you santod for this awesome ROM. I love having the pure Google experience without any of the HTC stuff. Santod, I was wondering if you have a flashable version of the kernel that's included with the M8 port. I'm running the M7 plus version but the kernel with that one does not have s2w capabilities. I flashed the boot.img from the M8 port using ADB and manually replaced the synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl file inside usr/keylayout in order to get logo2menu, but I'm not sure if in addition to this I'm also missing some modules and stuff. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coachcrey:
You should be able to use [MENTION=2967322]buckmarble[/MENTION] gpe kernel with this it has dt2w s2w s2s l2m and all that good stuff
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
Actually my sense kernel will work on both gpe and sense. Use the most recent
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nprez:
Thanks for quick response guys. Buckmarble, is this your most recent? Elite_Lunar_Kernel-05_04_2014-stock_clk.zip. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
Yes it is
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Now all you should have to do is enable logo2menu using trickster mod or some other kernel tuning app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nprez:
Hey everyone, thanks for the suggestions. I tried buckmarble's kernel and it works great, except I'm having similar problems with the bluetooth calling and voice dialing that those other users have reported with the M8 kernel. Don't mean to be a pest, but I was just wondering santod if you had any thoughts on that bluetooth calling issue. Can we keep our hopes up of it getting fixed in future versions of the M8 kernel? Bluetooth calling/voice dialing works fine with the M7 kernel btw. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
Does this have the IR blaster built in?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
Anyone have the problem of the screen not rotating? I have the box checked under Display and it still won't turn
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rabb:
I believe you can download the 'TV app' from the play store and it does work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
It does and am currently using it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Screen rotates fine. If you installed another kernel, then that's probably what broke it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
I haven't. Completely stock. Will flash again and report back
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
Just reflashed the ROM (build date 4-26) and can still not get the screen to rotate..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Alpha_wolf:
modem issue flash the one from the 4.3 build for vzw
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
I want my phone to be on KitKat though, not jellybean as I like the gestures built into the m8 google edition build

What modem should I be on?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You should be on the latest firmware and hboot, not an older one.

I obviously can't have every rom of mine installed at all times, so I can't always check isolated reports of issues right away.

You are the only one to mention a rotation problem, so maybe your issue is outdated firmware, but you do not need anything older then the very latest available, in fact that's what's advised to use.

If there is an issue, nobody else reported it on this device or the HTC m7ul, or the Dna, which would have the same problem if it existed.

If/when I get time later, I will load it up to check it out, though I somewhat expect it to end up working anyway.

If for some reason it doesn't, it would be one simple lib swap needed. Not really a big problem, or a hard one to fix.

But I'm not posting a fix for something without more confirmation of the problem, or at least verifying it myself.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
Ok thanks for your response. I am on the latest firmware as my phone was ota 4.4.2 before I rooted it. Will switch roms for now
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Actually, I posted a G-sensor fix for this latest version, you flash that?

It's in the download tab of the DevDB downloads.

direct link
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
That fixed it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nprez:
Any word on bluetooth calling/search for the M8 kernel?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] infinit22:
+1 need this
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] topm03:
+1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Just wanted to post in here that I was able to get the navigation bar working in the m7 rom by taking the systemui.apk from the m8 rom and putting it in to the m7 rom before I flashed it. Feel free to pm me if you need more information.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
All you should have had to do, was add this to the end of build.prop.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

You probably won't have negative side effects from using the other System UI, but you might.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Thanks!

I actually tried that, but only the menu button would show up. I searched on other threads and apparently htc deleted the software navbar for m7 gpe (which would explain why enabling navbar through gravitybox) doesn't work with the original systemui.apk
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Oh weird.

It's still present and can be enabled using the prop edit mentioned above in the m7 Sense 6 base.

I would have imagined they would have left it in the GPE base as well, since it's present in Sense.

Strange that isn't the case. I could have sworn I had enabled them before though, oh well. (maybe Im thinking of the m8 base)

Glad you found a method that suits your needs.

I thought it was kinda cool, but already having buttons there, made it seem, for lack of better terms, redundant.

But definitely still cool to try out for a bit, just to see how it feels.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Yeah, I agree that it is redundant and limits screen space. but I am used to having the home button in the center of the bottom of the screen due to having used nexus devices in the past :p. Thanks for your insight!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Gotcha.

Couple things maybe worth mentioning:

You can remap the hardware keys, so that home becomes recents and Logo becomes home, if that interests you at all.

Since home is already enabled for Logo2menu(in this rom/kernel), if I recall.

If it's not, then I should maybe make an m7 GPE update with a few additions and improvements maybe.(we'll see)

I know the logo isn't the best button in the world though, as it's a small target.

The other thing I thought I'd mention, as I've seen it asked before, is disabling the hardware keys if you are just gonna use the softkeys.

Let me know if maybe either one interests you and I can make a flashable zip for you to do one or the other.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Those are good suggestions. Thanks!

I appreciate the offer of the zip. If you have time, I think it is a mod worth making. However, I've already disabled my capacitive keys manually through root explorer. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] theDK10:
So first off thanks Santod for this rom it's been my daily driver since day one. My question is how would you go about increasing your transmit power for wifi on this rom? I have trickster mod installed with elite lunar kernel. Thanks in advance

Sent from my HTC6500LVW
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
Hey Santod do you have any updates planned for the m8 version or is it pretty stable?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Possibly...

It is very stable.

I think just the GPS needs attention still.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] topm03:
And the bluetooth :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Alpha_wolf:
4.4.3 coming? lol hopefully
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
what kind of battery life is everyone seeing with the plus (m7 based) version of this rom?

i've been running it since the day i got my blue m7 from swappa, and my screen on time is pretty terrible. a couple of hours - seems like people are reporting four to five hours routinely. i'm still getting the feel of this device, so i can't say for sure if that's normal or not. i'm using the stock kernel, nothing really running in the background of note. when the screen is off i get decent sleep - 1% or so per hour. i'm running the built in kernel, since i had bluetooth issues when i tried running lunar.

at this point i'm wondering if that's a normal sort of battery life or if there might be something wrong with my battery. i did the htc battery reset thing, with no real change. being a blue m7, it can't be more than 6 months old, so i wouldn't expect the battery life to have degraded yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
If you haven't already,

Try turning down your location setting.

I think on that Rom it is set to High Accuracy.

Set that to battery save mode until needed for navigation.

Also turn off always scanning for WiFi.

You can also turn off location reporting unless needed.

There's probably a few other things that can be done to help.

But the Google Play Edition bases for the m7 in general, aren't generally the most battery friendly.

Essentially, all the Google services are what seem to consume the most.

Hope maybe that at least helps a little.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
How long the battery lasts for you would be some useful info. I easily get more than a day using this rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
thank you. i've tried all of those for sure. in standby it goes for quite some time... it's really the screen on that seems to kill me. i suppose i could try nusense - i just really prefer the AOSP look and feel, especially where things like the status bar is concerned. i'm very picky. as it is, i'd be running carbon if the aosp bluetooth stack wasn't such a pile of garbage. GPE and sense roms are the only ones that seem to work properly where that is concerned.

this is today's usage so far. it was unplugged since 10 last night. you can see it sleeping fine. once i start making calls and whatnot it drops pretty fast, and this is with it plugged in in my car on a "real" 1a charger during the phone calls. i don't know what the hell google services is doing that whole time.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Go into the Google sync settings and disable any of their services you don't use. I find that to be a big drain especially when I don't ever use them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
i'm going to try wakelock terminator as well. looks like that might help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
If you don't have any concern with losing your device you can check in the security settings and disable android device manager. That might help some too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
May try experimenting with the linked Google accounts and sync settings.

See if maybe Calendar or Contacts, or some other Google account is constantly syncing.

Not really sure why G Services are such a hog to be honest, but it is very typical of these GPE based roms, stock included from what I have seen.

Other then trying to isolate the exact service that is running, not sure what more to suggest.

Maybe try doing some logging and see if you can tell anything from that, as to what is running.

Try the battery apps like Gsam or something other and see if one of those might break it down more for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Thanks. Gsam seems to support the notion that it might be the nipcollector garbage in particular. i've got wakelock terminator blocking the following - i'll report back on how well that works for me. i'd prefer to stick with this rom, it's the closest thing for this device to open aosp roms out there, especially with xposed. it burns that i can't even run the rom that I co-founded, but without solid bluetooth, it is what it is.

thanks for your fantastic roms - i'm really impressed by your work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tflogic:
As far as your lockscreen preference goes, you could just delete the HTC lockscreen apk on a Sense ROM to get the AOSP lockscreen. That's what I'm doing on NuSense-Max right now :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Thanks, I appreciate that. Sounds good.

And I hear you, regarding Aosp stability and bluetooth stack.

Here's an interesting read on Network Location Provider Wakelocks from Google Services.

Although probably not super helpful.

A thread with a few suggestions, similar to what I said already, more or less. LINK
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Hello Santod,

Will you have time to release a 4.4.3 update? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I think the gpe 4.4.3 literally just dropped tonight. Give him time. :laugh:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Does art work for anyone? When I switch it on and it reboots it's still set to dalvik.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Have to turn off Xposed for Art to work.

It's still not compatible with Art.

I assume that's what you are seeing...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Of course :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yeah of course I intend to. :fingers-crossed:

I have it about 98% done or so, since last night.

Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with certain aspects of the kernel performance and want to update it prior to release.

The good news is that HTC posted 4.4.3 source already.

The bad news, is it's very much incomplete for the m7.

The m8 source is complete, though that doesn't help for this device.

I have notified them about it, in several forms now, so hopefully it gets corrected quickly.

Until then, I will work with what portions of it I do have and see if I can't make this perform closer to my expectations until source is updated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Good man. Thanks for your hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
battery is doing better.

I did a few things. First, I installed wakelock terminator and filtered google play services for the following:

NlpCollectorWakeLock

NlpWakeLock

CheckinService

NetworkLocationLocator

That helped. Then the more I thought about it, the more I realized - I don't use google now at all. It's a neat idea that I just don't find myself using much. So I disabled it. Between that and the filters above that pretty much did the job. I also spent all day hunting around for an xmpp client that could reliably support background mode and push, and finally settled on IM+. I found that Touchdown was causing all sorts of problems for me last night as well, but I think that's due to a failed attempt to use activesync instead of the normal exchange 2007 webmail connector.

Screen on time isn't that high, but I was on the phone a good bit, and messed with various IM clients all day. So all in all, not too bad. Not as good as I'd like, but still better than my old galaxy nexus and s3 managed to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I'm curious - are the radios in this based on the stock radios, or are they based on the radios in CM's device tree?

In other words, is the radio performance similar to stock or degraded like in most source built roms?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I think you're referring to the RIL ( radio interface layer) and I think Santod uses the included gpe ril just modified for vzw.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I am indeed. AOSP RILs are generally a hack job and it shows. Amazing hacks - that they work at all is impressive, let alone so well - but at the end the day they can't stack to the something written with the luxury full device specs and access.

I've hit a point in my life where as much as I adore aosp I need solid hardware more.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] roaringcrown:
I'm using the M8 port of this ROM and I received the OTA 4.4.3 update. Friends with Nexus devices are still waiting lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
other than the whole 4.4.3 thing, what is actually different about the m8 port? i'm not sure i understand why there'd be a difference.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Coming shortly..... :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Initial Stock 4.4.3 port is up.

Only real changes to the stock base, were what it took to make it work on Verizon Wireless properly.

Stock Google Play Edition base and kernel.

A Plus version with added rom and kernel features will be posted eventually, as well.

**If Google Play store seems to hang after first sign in, just do a reboot and all will be fine after that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Awesome! Can't wait for the plus version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
This is easily the smoothest running aosp ROM ever. Its great and very soon things will be getting better. Keep an eye on this one folks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
UPDATED!~

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] murderdock:
Hah. Thank you so much! I flashed the 4.4.3 stock last night because I couldn't wait and woke up to this. Luckily I have a lot of free time to kill at work today.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Sorry guys, forgot to add the new kernel to the Plus Version. :eek:

I am gonna reupload with it included in just a few, as it was intended to be baked in.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
tiKtaK Google Plus Edition 4.4.3

Now up in the OP with custom Motion Gesture kernel included!

Again, sorry about the reupload on that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I'm feeling lazy. Can I dirty flash from 4.4.2?

Who am I kidding. I will anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Over the 3.1 Plus version, absolutely.

Might do okay over the stock one as well, but over the 3.1 Plus version definitely.

Oh from 4.4.2? I don't know....haha.

I don't suggest it, but it may work fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I'll let you know.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
worked great. i cleared the cache and whatnot, which is probably a good idea if you want to be like me and do the dirty thing. love that the new kernel has logo button features.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
Plus edition running super smooth so far
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Same here. Something like .2% an hour when in pocket too. Granted this is on Wi-Fi and with Google now and plus' location crap turned off, but still. Awesome. 1 hour screen on, five hours standby and I'm at 75% battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
This is without Wi-Fi.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Darkmx2000:
This is me with 34% battery left and the first full run after flashing ☺
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
I lost the ability to use double tap home button for recent apps after enabling xposed. Anyone else experience this?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Works fine for me. Are you sure that a module didn't override the default feature?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
The only two I have is gravity box and wake gestures. Do you have any modules enabled?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Gravity box and wake gestures. Check to make sure gravity box isn't causing the problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
Have any of you switched to using f2fs with this ROM? Is it supported?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
So.....this rom is pretty awesome. Anyone flipped on ART and are there any issues? Loving it so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
This problem also happened to me. However setting the shortcut to long press home works . So it may be a gravity box problem...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fuzzylax:
Any idea why,I don't get signal when I install this rom?I'm coming from slim and viper and both show bars and 4g.clean install and making sure data is on
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I don't know, how's your firmware and radio?

Up to date?

What recovery did you use?

Did you do a full wipe(including data) prior to flashing?

Did you try reflashing?

Haven't had any issues connecting at first boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fuzzylax:
I'm using latest firmware and radio.I always do full wipe add clean.I'm using twrp latest one.I can flash any Rom and not have problem getting 4g except this one.I've ran it before and never had problems.I downloaded twice and both md5 are good
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unorthodoxx:
I cannot find the quiet hour settings, can someone point me in the correct direction?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Darkmx2000:
I did as well when I added the 3dot mod the recent app feature was broken ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
i don't believe there are any. i just added quiet hour settings using automateit, since i already have it running for lockscreen toggle when i leave the house and to activate GPS when i start waze or maps.
