Hm, I think it may be a possible bug, not sure if this can be replicated, but it happened twice after flashing.

If you switch to 2G via quick settings ( Network mode ), few things happen:

1) First, it won't connect to any network.

2) Trying to come back to LTE won't be possible via quick settings

3) Going into Mobile Networks under settings will give you LTE, 3G and 2G ( the Global option will be gone now ).

4) Switching to LTE wont' do anything. There will be no bars ( and even though the connection will be active for a few minutes it will die off soon after ).

Flash was always done after a full wipe via TWRP.

Build: 4.4.3 tiKtaK Google Play Edition 3.1

Radio: 1.12.41.1112_2

Kernel: 3.4.10-NuK3rn3l-g1a25406

Installed: Xposed Gravitybox, Greenify, AppsOpsXposedm - and few standard apps ( google stuff ).

If there is some kind of log I could submit, please let me know.

thanks for good work Santod.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You MUST set the gravity box module to cdma mode for the data tile in the notification pulldown. If you do not it will mess up data. My best advice it to not use that tile for a switch. I've ran into this problem before.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pRuben:
hm. thats probably what happened. Off to a fresh flash again..

thanks for heads up on that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Santod, I'm running the non-plus edition - do you happen to have a download handy for the plus kernel? I'd like to use it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yeah, I'll upload it later this evening...

FYI: 4.4.4 GPE is now rolling out to the m8.

I expect we will be seeing it on the m7 any day now as well. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tompdillon:
I am getting an update notice for. "Android 4.4.4,System Update". Am I OK to install it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I would advise waiting for me to post the update, so I can be sure it's ok.

I'll be posting a full update with 4.4.4

Besides, you don't have the right radio, hboot, or recovery, so it would likely fail anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jbh00jh:
Could a developer who uses this rom change the 4x1 weather clock widget. Change the background from white to black and the lettering and numbers from black to white. Thanks !!!

Nice! Can't wait to try it out. I love your GPE Rom. It's the only one I run on my M7 :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I'm still having terrible luck with WiFi. It's constantly showing connected but there's no data. When I ping I see tons of drops. Basically if I'm not right on top of the router it's a hot mess.

I'm starting to wonder if it's the device itself. Anyone else? Otherwise this Rom is flawless.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
My wifi works 100% never had any issues with this Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I haven't had any issues with WiFi either. Are you sure it isn't your router or WiFi modem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
Quite sure . Happens with multiple routers and security protocols . Even open .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Updated to 4.4.4

4.4.4 Stock Google Edition Build is up!

Plus version will be up after some sleep. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
Are we waiting on you to upload now? /excited.

I went to official CM just to play with 4.4.4, happy you have this one updated. Time to crack flash.....well as soon as i see the DL link up :)

Also - does this feature the updated kernel you were working on too [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] ?

Edit - omg, tomorrow for plus?!?!?!?! Killing us. haha, kidding, will be awaiting it anxiously.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Stock is up, the Plus version will have the improved modified kernel when I upload later today. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
You're a bad ass. Thanks man.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
No issues at all here, been solid. Only issue i had come across was the pocket detection bugging out, and I am hoping Santod has that fixed in this new version.

Thanks Santod, you rock btw!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Amon Darthir:
YES!!!! Time to fix some of the issues I was having before from botching my last flash. I'm not going to be able to concentrate at work now. Haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
That's really weird. I was prepping to do the whole stock rom/stock recovery cache reset. backed everything up, got the stock rom on the SD card, and spaced it when i went into recovery - i did a factory reset and wiped the storage from recovery before i flashed. feeling very stupid, i booted back up to copy the rom over again. did the bare minimum setup, just put it on the wifi, basically.

...and it works great now. very weird.

i guess i'm gonna wait for the plus 4.4.4, flash that bad boy, and do another full wipe. i either had some weird module causing trouble somewhere, or there's something that the GPE roms do over time that is cleared by a wipe.

weirdness.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I think it's related to saved wireless connections on the storage over time.

Once those old saved settings are all wiped clean, things tend to work as intended again.

May or may not have been the issue, but I have seen where wiping the storage has fixed similar issues for folks before, on other roms and devices.

Anyhow, glad it's working. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
crazy.

i think i'm going to stop turning wifi on and off every time i get in the car. i had a tasker switch for that, and i wonder if that wasn't making it worse.

googling around makes me think this is a really widespread m7 GPE issue in kitkat - affects the real versions as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
It could be tasker causing the problem to since it can control WiFi connections. Task killers like those are notorious for doing stuff like that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
tasker isn't a task killer. i haven't used a task killer since froyo.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
It says in the app description in can kill apps. Have you at least tried going without using it for a couple of days just to see if it might have something to do with the problem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
yeah, i can give it a try. it *can* kill apps - it can do a lot of things - but i don't use it in that way. it's automation, that's all. i'm gonna try playing around with the buckmarble vanilla build as well. i'd be surprised if BT works properly, given that it's AOSP, but i've got some time to kill while santod does his thing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I'm more or less thinking the automation side of tasker may be what is causing you problems. Maybe it is sleeping the WiFi because it thinks you don't need it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
it shouldn't have done - that's not really what it's for. it doesn't do *anything* unless you tell it to. that said i do have a task that shuts down my wifi when i get into the car. it was for convenience, since that way i start streaming using LTE radio rather than wifi right off the bat and don't have any sort of weirdness as i leave my wifi's effective area. it's certainly not shutting down my wifi at 1am as i sit in bed screwing with my phone. have you used tasker before?

i also noticed that the effect worsened over time, which supports what santod is saying about the cause. the fact that a full wipe did the job speaks volumes as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
It could be though that tasker isn't handling the task correctly and causing it to intermittently shut down. Considering the quick jump from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 they may need to catch up on the api.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
possible but unlikely.

like i said, this is the second time i've had to wipe to fix this issue. the first time i wasn't using tasker, either. and a quick google search shows this is crazy common across variants.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I found one thread in the AT&T forums where they were converting their device to the gpe version and having WiFi problems after that. That sounds to me like they're having some sort of firmware issue after the conversion. I'm just trying to help you is all. You don't have to stop using tasker but it would be at least worth a shot if you keep having this problem. It's weird that you're the only person having this problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] titusseid:
Is anyone else getting an update notification. In on the 4.4.3 plus version and I'm getting a notification to update my gpe to 4.4.4 what should I do ignore or update?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Ignore it. Your phone doesn't have the proper firmware to take it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] titusseid:
That's what I thought just wanted to make sure thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Plus version now live in the OP!

tiKtaK - Google Play Edition - Plus Version

Updated to Android 4.4.4

RC4.0 06-26-14

:)

​
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
Thanks! If I have the GPE version and not the plus edition, do I need to do the whole data wipe dance when installing the Plus edition?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Probably not, can't ever really say for sure. Everyone does different things to their phone after flashing a rom, which can effect the outcome of a dirty flash.

Same as per usual.

Try it, if you have issues, then you'll have to wipe and reflash, or restore a backup until you have the time to do so.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
Just installed it and running stellar as always! Thanks for another great release Santod!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
Does the gpe versions have the same "issues" with aosp as far as signal? I don't get the greatest service where I live and work, and it's even worse on aosp. I'm definitely a crack flasher for the past week lol..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
I get the exact same signal reading on this as I do sense. Exact. But I thought that had to do with the radio not the rom? idk. I also get the exact same signal strength on CM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
No this does not have messed up signal like aosp. It reads as well as sense and the radio interface layer works just as well as sense too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
Excellent news! Do you by chance know if dpi changes mess anything up?

[MENTION=5615072]ccarr313[/MENTION] aosp has a weaker signal in my experience. Idk.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Changing the dpi shouldn't mess anything up but that mostly depends on the play store. Whether or not it is modded for dpi changes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
Well I was on Nusense 6 and I changed the dpi on the android system to make it smaller and then when I would be in twitter, the inline image previews were super zoomed in and it drove me crazy. I used the app settings from xposed, maybe there is another way? I just hate how big everything seems lol..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Nusense max would be better for you then. It has a smaller ui without having to change the dpi. The perapp setting module never really worked well for me on sense so I quit trying. It may work better on gpe although I have never tried it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
lol Yeah I'm on the Nusense max right now. I just like flashing and testing out different roms til I find the one that is "perfect" for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
My top three are unsense, nusense max and gpe plus. You can't really go wrong with any of them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
I will agree. I really like buckmarbles aosp rom too. I'm flashing gpe plus as we speak. I kinda wanna try out ART as well, so we will see how that goes. Hope all my apps will work...especially the xposed ones.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Xposed is not yet Art compatible.

It will just revert to Dalvik if you have Xposed enabled and try to switch to Art.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
lol well thats a bummer. I wanted to try art, but is it that noticeably to get rid of xposed?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tflogic:
If you got rid of Xposed, you wouldn't be able to use themes or GravityBox (in my opinion, not worth just because GB is a godsend for AOSP tweaks).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
New 4.4.4 plus loaded, and all I can say is - YES. Response on wake gestures, excellent. Wish I could flip on ART, but I guess it is time to play the waiting game!

Another awesome release from Santod though. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ajgates92:
Yeah I like xposed way to much lol. I'll wait for ART
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
Wanted to try this one out but I cant get it to flash. the last version before this and the current 4.4.4 start flashing in TWRP (I have the latest version) and it starts to mount the partitions and after a minute or so it just reboots my phone and I have to restart it with the volume down button and manually boot into recovery to fix it, the phone wont boot at all without doing so.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, I've been able to run every other ROM I've tried, I updated my radio and have the latest recovery but this fails every time I try it and almost bricks the phone.

Any ideas as to what is happening?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Flash the ROM after a full wipe and then reboot back into recovery and flash again without wiping.

The ROM is running great as usual. Thanks Santod.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
Does this have the "hidden" heads up notification code in it? That we can enable through xposed?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The Plus version I did for the Dna last night, has the Heads Up Module included.

You can install it from the Xposed Repository on this rom, just as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
Thanks for that, that worked just fine, kinda weird but whatever :) Gonna play around and see how it goes for a few days now....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] soulshot96:
I just flashed 4.4.4 Plus version over the 4.4.3 version(without a full wipe, just cache/dalvik), and my native wifi tether is not working, just errors every time I go to enable it. Anyone else having this problem? I need confirmation that its not related to my dirty flash lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
It is probably related to the dirty flash (bump in android version and all).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] soulshot96:
Well is yours working? Anyone's? I'd rather not have to wipe lol, too many hours of downloads and xposed mods to reconfigure.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Works just fine. It starts up without error for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] linuxsense:
Works fine for me. Did a full wipe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
you could use TI back up for xposed module you customize and restore them without having to config each time you update a rom.

if you do go this route i would suggest installing xposed framework first. Turn on the mod you have the TI data for. Reboot once, then use TI to restore data to that mod.

seems to work a lot better than doing restore of apk and data first then installing xposed framework then turning on the module.

but its just a suggestion. everyone's phone is different and what might work for me, might not work for all. $.02
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] soulshot96:
Thanks for the feedback, did a full wipe, fixed problem. Now I just have a half hour of tinkering to do. Oh well. Anyway, does 4.4.4 seem smoother to anyone? Just a little bit at least? Idk, feels nice to me lol,
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Restoring of modules data is just asking for trouble. Its been my experience that going from ROM to ROM and restoring module data is more trouble than its worth.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
Dirty flash sucked for me, had to wipe, was coming from this rom 4.4.3.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tompdillon:
Me too. Just bite the bullet and wipe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
I did a clean install. Everything was running great for me until I decided to restore some apps with TB... Big mistake! Take those extra minutes to set everything up from a clean install and you will save yourself (and Santod) some headaches! :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I had no issue with restoring apps with tibu. Maybe you tried restoring some system apps by mistake.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
I used TB to restore every app that had passwords, let rest auto install from my play history. No issues. Only thing I avoid using TB for restoring is xposed modules.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] soulshot96:
Safe to say that trying to dirty flash 4.4.4 is a no go haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Adrioid:
Look at you guys proving me wrong :o sorry for my misleading comments... I guess our phones be have different :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I posted about this before but it is almost a sure bet dirty flashing to a higher android version isn't going to work out so well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
TB is fine provided you are careful with WHAT you restore. The only system level stuff I ever do is SMS backups. Everything else is verboten in my book.

If you're gonna dirty flash, you need to make sure you do things like wipe cache and dalvik, at the very least. Success with dirty flashing seems to vary by device as well - when i was on samsung devices, you could dirty flash all day long and be fine. HTC gear seems super finicky about any flashing at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Santod,

I sent you some coffee and donuts money. Thanks for the work you do!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Dirty flashing on HTC typically causes unexpected behaviors that make it really hard for Santod to troubleshoot. That is why generally a full wipe is asked. Especially if you're having issues. Sure it makes setting up take longer but if you want the best results you should always do a full wipe. When you go from a lower to a higher android version especially. I don't know much about Samsung devices since I've never owned one but HTC devices don't much like to be dirty flashed and they especially don't like system apps restored. Especially system apps that were from a lower firmware version or from a lower android version. So if you anyone has dirty flashed this ROM or restored system apps then it would be best to do a clean install and then maybe even restore apps one at a time to narrow down what may have caused any issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Thank you very kindly sir!

Very much appreciated bud. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] derickmc:
How does one install the themes find in the OP?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You have to install the xtheme engine xposed module first.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You need to install the Xtheme Engine.

I did not add that to the 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 updates.

But you can install it from here: LINK
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] derickmc:
Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] derickmc:
This ROM using nova launcher. Loving it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] linuxsense:
Epic ROM. Well done sir. Only thing I miss from NuSense is the HTC car mode. Is it possible to run it on this? Again...great job.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dg4prez:
I agree disconnecktie. And yeah, while no android device likes having system apps restored (seriously, just don't do that ****.) samsung devices are FAR more forgiving of dirty flashes. even as a rom dev i dirty flashed on my gnex, s3, and s4 and literally never once had weirdness. i had no idea that was even a thing - now i understand why some people are so adamant about it, since htc seems to have a much different way of doing certain things.

always something to learn.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
OK am I retarded? Took me forever to even find an Xtheme engine apk and once I did it errors out on me on install saying it needs Icon Themed enabled. Anyone else get it working on latest Plus version?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
It's not been updated in a while I don't think.

Pretty sure I gave it a shot when I did the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 updates and ran into a similar effect, which was why I decided it should be left out for now.

When I get some time, I will see what I can find and make work with this, if anything.

So,...no, it's not you, hah.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
It works fine for me. The prompt that show up dont click it. Click away from it and then select a theme. Only certain themes will work with it.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

I think Samsung keeps a lot of their libs when they android updates so dirty flashing doesn't really hurt them but HTC is always updating their libs which is probably why dirty flashes don't work out so well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
Just to be sure, the latest apk is "beta 5.1"? That's the one I found
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
To anyone that may have had data issues running the gpe roms.

Disable the quick settings that gravity box uses and see if that helps. I have noticed that when they are enabled my data is sketchy and doesn't report as accurately. Once I disabled them and rebooted it is much better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
I'm still having the issue in a clean slate. Data will wildy change from 1 bar to 3 to 4 then back to 0. All in a span of 5-10 seconds. Other times I have 1x only r only voice service. Meanwhile my wife's phone is just fine and stable. (She has iPhone though)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
When was the last time you flashed stock recovery and did a factory reset to restore your NV radio partitions?

If it's been a while, I advise trying that.

You'll wanna save anything important first, as it will wipe the device, internal storage included.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Please note that Verizon is having widespread issues today. Check with downdetector.com to be sure there isn't an outage in the area.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yeah, I've been without service for 2 days now due to that mess.

Occasionally I get 1x extended network.

Can't wait until that disaster is fixed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Does Google Now/Google play services still cause more battery drain on this version?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
In my opinion, its much improved in 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, over the previous 4.4.2.

I get just as good battery life on this now, as I do stock, if not better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
Couple days running this and its pretty awesome, battery life is good, ART is running nicely, yeah pretty impressed with this
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
I even keep hot word detection up on my homescreen, and see no noticeable battery drain. It doesn't even show up in the most used list on battery stats.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] derickmc:
Boom! Love this ROM!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
[MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] have you posted this kernel in a flashable file anywhere? I kind of want to try it out on my gf's phone with another rom. If possible :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No I haven't and I doubt it will work on any other roms right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
Well, it is badass. Most trouble free kernel / OS I've ever run on my m7. :good:

Absolutely zero issues with this 4.4.4 build.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Somehow this ROM feels smoother than the 4.4.3 ROM. Maybe because GPU over clocking was enabled? Lol. Great job santod.

PS I'm a big fan of the inclusion of the aosp browser.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] planedoc:
Noticed my data arrows don't show up or down, even though data is working...clean flash latest stock version. Known issue?
