Yup I use them on my Nexus 5! They can be implemented through Xposed or built into kernels.
[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
Android is a great platform.
[One (M8) General] thenags:
Do you lose any features on the GPE? I'm thinking mostly camera stuff?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
You lose motion gestures, but dual cameras work and most of HTC's other features (like blinkfeed) are available on the Google Play store.
[One (M8) General] thenags:
Awesome. I don't care about that gimmicky stuff anyway and have been running nothing but CM for years.
[One (M8) General] yngdiego:
I want to use a M8 on T-Mobile. I initially ordered the developer edition, but read that 3G/AWS on TM won't be supported. So I cancelled that order and put one in for GPE. If I want full Sense 6.0 I'm assuming I can just flash a new ROM to get it?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
I doubt the devs will make a full and working Sense 6 ROM anytime soon (or ever)... I'd just get the T-Mobile edition and root to de-bloat if I were you.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Why do you doubt that? All sense roms are is stock roms modified.. So usually they are all fully working unless a dev puts something in that causes a bug. Sense roms are usually cooked roms.. Have you looked how many sense roms are in the m7 forum?? So saying "if ever" is just not correct.

He will be able to flash whatever rom he wants. The hardware is identical except for the radio bands which doesn't matter if you're not flashing a radio image. I did the conversation on the m7 and there have been thousands of people who have either had a sense version and fully converted to gpe and there were even a few gpe folks that converted to sense just to try it.

On my m7 I went back and forth so many times during my testing I can't even count.. So you posting that is very misleading
[One (M8) General] wKovacs64:
Same story for me, although I think I'm just going to get the T-Mobile version. See link below for a Sense ROM.

[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
I didn't really mean the "if ever" part, but I'm just saying he'd probably go a little while before he gets a good Sense ROM. My point of buying the T-Mo edition still makes more 'sense' IMO, because he gets the phone sooner, Sense sooner, and it's $50 less.
[One (M8) General] sepffuzzball:
Ahhhh, can't wait for my M8 GPE to come in!

I will say though, as someone with an M7 Developer Edition and on T-Mobile in a refarmed area, I've been less than impressed with reception here in Orlando. My LTE Nexus 7 2013 gets signal in many places where my M7 does not (hence why I went with the GPE version this time as opposed to the Developer edition)...granted, that doesn't mean that the M8 will, but here's to hoping!

...it was a good excuse to buy a new phone at least! :laugh:

Scheduled Delivery

Scheduled Delivery:

Thursday, 04/03/2014, by 3:00 P.M.(by end of day for residential deliveries)

Nice... Let us know when it arrives and you have some time :)

[MENTION=2405556]pasker17[/MENTION]

When you get it the first thing you should do is unlock the bootloader. Add me on Google hangouts and I will walk you through everything. We are going to have to do a few different things to get everything backed up properly. This will be great.. I can get the conversion done before we even have s-off and once we do have s-off it will just be a matter of me testing it and releasing it :)
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Awesome! I get my Rogers M8 today looking forward to S-Off and converting it too a Google play edition! Does anyone know when S-Off is coming out or if anyone is working on it? Updates? Details? Anything?
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
No idea, but in the meantime we will at least be able to flash the rom today as long as [MENTION=2405556]pasker17[/MENTION] comes through :)
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Don't we need S-Off to get it working tho? Sorry new to the HTC Scene, so I dont really understand the point of S-Off
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
We need s-off for a full fledged conversion complete with OTA's. Because without s-off we can't flash some partitions like the hboot, radio etc.. To basically convert the device fully. We can run the rom just like we run any other rom by just flashing the system and boot image but if we want a full conversion then we need s-off

[MENTION=2405556]pasker17[/MENTION] or anyone else that has one out for delivery today, I have updated the OP with more detailed instructions..

I just found out something that will make our lives easier :) On the M7 they had disabled the "fastboot boot recovery.img" we couldn't just boot a recovery which made our job harder to pull all the partitions unmodified..So the fact we can boot into recovery on the M8 is going to make things MUCH easier..
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Oh :) Ya I defiantly want OTA's :D COME ON PEOPLE S-OFF!!! :D lol :p
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Till we get S-Off i'd definitely be interested in the GPe /system rom :good: hopefully packer really is getting a GPe and not a regular Dev unit.
[One (M8) General] HolyAngel:
Same here! Would love to get my hands on the system and boot partitions ^^
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
We are already working on it.. ;) We have hit some snags but rest assured it will get done :) I've also called in some reinforcements :)
[One (M8) General] yngdiego:
Quite unexpectedly my M8 GPE phone arrived this morning! I was expecting it to ship on the 15th.
[One (M8) General] crucky:
Do a dump for us DUDE :D would be the weekend surprise :D thanks in advance
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Did you have a Nexus 5? If so, how would you say they compare?
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Just a dump wont do us any good because of the way permissions are. It won't pull everything needed. We found that out with the m7 :P
[One (M8) General] Tikerz:
How's it comin'? ;)
[One (M8) General] BAM1789:
^This is what I'm wondering :fingers-crossed:

I can't wait to flash a GPE ROM and have me some creamy Vanilla goodness!
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
We are having issues.. The sense recovery doesn't work on the GPE.. On the m7 it did. I'm working with the guy who has a device and also jmz Taylor to see if we can get it working.. :(
[One (M8) General] BAM1789:
That's a bummer man.. wish I could help out, but only have the ATT version on hand. Devs like you guys make the XDA World go round! Good luck!
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
I have faith! Come one guys! The community is counting on you :D
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
We will get it.. Just need knew time ;)
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Have you perhaps asked jmz to compile a new recovery based off of the stock GPE recovery/kernel/DTB, if its anything like the G2 each variant had specific DTB. I'm sure you guys will get it working soon =)
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
He did.. It's not working.. He thinks the offsets are different which is why it's failing to boot..
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
If I buy one I will be more than happy to help (and it's fairly likely I will). If anyone had the ability to come to NW Oregon I would let them do whatever it took to get a perfect ROM out there.

I understand a dump isn't enough, but would hooking it up to a computer help?
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
I'm even considering buying one and then doing what I need to do and then return it.. Lol
[One (M8) General] blackroseMD1:
Lol nice. Sucks that there's issues. Hope you guys get it figured out.

[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
+1

This is a good idea.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Yeah it does suck.. I even talked to Dees_Troy about it.. He said we need the dtp and to build the kernel from source.. Kernels and that stuff is a different language to me.. So I don't quite understand it.. Jmz build a recovery from the GPE kernel source but the offsets are off so he is thinking the dtp in kernel source might be wrong. I did read some. Post that said when they released gpe source it wasn't complete so maybe that has something to do with it.. We need to get root/temp root so we can read the offsets from the boot image and do the recovery properly. And the big thing is... How do we get root without a custom recovery that boots? We tried jacses root method for the Verizon /sprint m8 but that failed.. :-\
[One (M8) General] HolyAngel:
HTC rereleased the gpe kernel source on htcdev.. so if he's still using the mirror'd one thats definitely bad and they one they pulled.. also has philz recovery been tried yet? twrp has been giving me all sorts of issues this last week or so..
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
I would have him try to build again with the latest source, if the source he pulled was from the leak a few days ago.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
I'm pretty sure he said he downloaded it today. I sent him a message on hangouts to ask
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Just heard back from him.. He used complete source.. He booted sense with it.. And checked the crc.. So something is still wrong with the source...
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
LOL of course HTC would do that....LG did the same thing with messed up source release of the G2 early on.
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
It's all good guys :) Just take your time and get it right :)
[One (M8) General] HolyAngel:
Hmm well if it boots sense then it should boot gpe.. wonder why it's not.. so lame! I waaaant hahaha.. well good luck for sure sure ^^
[One (M8) General] wschamps42:
Hmm, So from reading through the thread, I'm going back and forth as to what to get, next Friday the M8 will be in T-Mobile stores, but I have a feeling the bootloaders will be locked...IF they are would we be able to unlock them ourselves? Or should I just get the dev or GPE variant?
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
T-Mobile doesn't have a habit of locking the bootloaders.. AT&T and Verizon are a different story. The HTC One X was blocked from being on locked on AT&T. The m7 was supposed to be, even HTC said it would and that's why they released a developer edition with AT&T friendly bands.. It was to satisfy the people on AT&T that wanted to unlock their bootloader. AT&T never locked the m7 down thank God and they haven't the m8 yet.. But for example the AT&T Moto X can't have its bootloader unlocked and Punit Soni said it was not Motorola' fault but the carriers..
[One (M8) General] wschamps42:
My Xperia Z1s beggs to differ :( T-Mobile just started this trend recently with the G Flex, Z1s, and now the S5 will have its bootloader locked. I'd rather trade in my Z1s and get the M8 next friday when its released, but I wanna make sure I can have the bootloader unlocked at some point even if T-Mobile locks it.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Then your best bet is to wait for someone else to get it and let them be the one who tries.. Lol if it's locked I'd say get the GPE... But 700 is pretty steep for a phone.. I got mine for 199 on contract (I don't plan on leaving AT&T anytime soon anyway) So it was either spend 700 to get the GPE now.. Or spend 199 and just wait until we got s-off and I could do a gpe conversion :) I have found I actually like doing conversions and such more than roms.. Less headache less requests... Less issues.. It's like a "here it is.. You need support we are here but it's not a rom so no bug reports or anything.. It is what it is.. How it came from google take it or leave it" hahhaa
[One (M8) General] wschamps42:
yupp I agree. I mean even if its locked by T-Mobile, if someone comes up with a way to unlock it I'd be happy as hell, and if I can do a conversion to a GPE I'd love that :) but yeah I cannot justify $700 on a phone :-/ just too much. I really want the Z2 but god knows if that'll come out for the US and I've always wanted an HTC device but never found the right one. The M8 seems awesome, just want some custom ROMs on it and I'm a happy man.

GPE shipped

My friends ordered the Google Edition on the 25th of March. His phone shipped today. He will receive it on Monday.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Good news.. We got the system and boot images pulled!!! they will be uploading shortly... Also We are going to get all the other partitions pulled but we needed to overwrite the stock recovery so I need someone with adb knowledge and a gpe edition with stock recovery to see if we can get it pulled
[One (M8) General] rbouza1:
I'll be happy with just gpe rom. Appreciate your work graffixnyc !
[One (M8) General] HolyAngel:
Awesome! Glad to hear you guys got at least some of the partitions pulled! ^^
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
we are getting all of them pulled ;) I just had him pull system and boot first so people have something to flash for now. He has another device with the stock recovery so we are going to pull them next :) He is uploading the files to me. For now I got a system image, boot and a cwm nandroid ;)
[One (M8) General] Tikerz:
Excellent work guys!!!
[One (M8) General] blackroseMD1:
Exactly what I've been hoping for! :good:
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
So wait CWM Recovery worked on the GPE, must be something with TWRP if so...Either way glad you guys go system and boot, pretty sure with just those two we can get the GPE rom going for the other M8 Variants!!
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Yeah CWM worked.. But it didn't work to boot the recovery so we couldn't get the stock recovery pulled... But Now that we have the boot.img JMZ can probably make a proper twrp for it..

BTW

Amazing work btw ! :good:

Do i when the rom is available have to flash it with [m8][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch ? :confused:

you can download the back up zip from my thread. then you can just unzip it to your cwm back up folder on your sd card and restore :)

[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
This will work on an ATT m8 right?
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
So we wont be able to get OTA's yet tho? And it wont working like a official google play edition yet without S-Off it's just a rom right now correct?
[One (M8) General] nuumuun:
still need some dumps?

i just bought a m8 international version today.

hboot-3.16.0.0000

radio-1.14.2133156.UA24G

OpenDSP-v26.2.2-00538-M8974.0106

OS-1.12.401.17
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
It works just as official does, just that no we won't be able to get OTAs because our CID/MID do not match the GPe. S-Off is needed to modify this...however the current system/boot works just as if you had a GPe.

[Google Chromecast] theatomizer90:
So I got a chromecast for my birthday and was super excited to use it but it wouldnt connect to the wifi for my apartment complex. I called the isp and they block all cc, apple tv, roku ect. I spoofed the mac adress to my tablet to try to gain acees but it wouldn't let my tablet connect. Therefore I think it must be blocked by mac adress? Anyway I have a model h2g2 42 and would like to find a way to connect my device to the internet and use my new toy. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Jared
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
How do they know what device has what MAC? The only thing I can think of is they're doing some blanket blocking by vendor ID (which is part of the MAC)

Chromecast's vendor is Azurewave, so if they're blanket blocking devices that use Azurewave hardware, that's a LOT of devices.

More likely they're tracking and blocking unknown MAC addresses.

They could also be blocking streaming traffic, but Chromecast should at least be able to reach the Internet.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well one way to find out if it is Mac Address....

Clone the CCast MAC Address on your computer and see if it can connect.

I can understand them blocking the protocols needed to discover such devices but I can't see them blocking Mac Addresses cause that means well over a million MAC addresses to block.
[Google Chromecast] Krisshp:
Can I ask whats your location what country??
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
[MENTION=5018946]theatomizer90[/MENTION] said they spoofed the CCast MAC to their tablet and their tablet wouldn't connect.

So I'm guessing they're doing something like hotels do and somehow tracking MACs, individually adding them to their Allow list.

What if you call the ISP and just don't tell them the device you're connecting is a media player? How would they handle it if you just had a second tablet that you want to connect?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I'm not convinced spoofing it on a Tablet would be as solid as doing it on a PC....

Especially if the PC is wired.

Truth is I would tell the ISP to GFT and stop blocking things I pay them to provide.

I bet there is not a single mention of blocked media devices in the contract which means they are essentially in breach for not providing Internet access.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If the PC is wired, it wouldn't connect to the building wireless... ;)

but that brings up a good point - [MENTION=5018946]theatomizer90[/MENTION] is there a wired Internet connection in your flat/whatever?

If so, you could just connect your own router and connect all your devices to that... The building's network wouldn't know about any of your individual devices unless it's very high end. It's the same as I do in hotels.

It wouldn't help if they're doing packet/traffic filtering though... again, same as hotels...
[Google Chromecast] theatomizer90:
No hard line... such a bummer. I went and complained to the manager but I doubt anything will come of it.
[Google Chromecast] theatomizer90:
Sorry didnt see that. USA idaho. I am in an apartment complex that kicked them because they only have one router for the whole complex granted it is a beast it can handle 120+ connections. But the whole apple tv roku and chromecast added enough devices to that connection that it just overloaded the router.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I get to play with enterprise-class routers from time to time and even they have limits. It depends on both the AP hardware (usually there is a maximum number of associated stations before things start going round-robin) and the router hardware itself as the overall traffic load increases.

Some folks in your situation (not specifically with Chromecast, but general connectivity challenges) have success using cantennas to use more-distant wireless, rather than their limited local infrastructure, but it really depends on the individual situation.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well one solution that would work is to get yourself a travel router...

(An example not a recommendation as I have not used it do some research before you pick one) http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-WL-330N3G-Wireless-N-Mobile-Router/dp/B004OT05LC
[Google Chromecast] WindowsSucks:
The easiest thing to do would be to spoof a wireless access point, there is all kinds of free software to do it. Connect tablet to Wi-Fi. Spoof a wireless ap. Connect cc to spoofed Wi-Fi.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] McNugget:
Hi there.

WMV for PPC is not that good. Why don't you try this one:

http://divx.ppccool.com/ -- The very easy to use Encoder for all kinds of formats.

http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download -- The Code Pocket Media Player wich is fast enough to play high quality movies with high quality Sound. I was really impressed by both of these tools!

Have Fun,

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
normaly exe files are have to be run in windows and they autoinstall the pda program to the pda next time you sync

cab files are run on the pda where they autoinstall

both paths should result in an icon in programs which start the program

then you choose files and browse to where your movie is

then you click on the movie file and it plays
