Upgraded today to 40.3 after some hesitation. I was afraid to upgrade then find a new version released it would be a bummer! It is really painful to reflash again often and do it all over.

I know asking for ETA is not allowed nor I think it should. But I think it is good practice to allow a fixed period for each release where no major updates will be released (those updates that requires clean flash) unless there is a mandatory fix which cannot wait. This is not an obligation for the ROM creator to make an update on schedule but say the fixed period is 4 weeks for example, new major update would not be released before this period but it could take longer than that as much as the developer needs.

The suggestion above is just an idea, no need to start wars or spread hatery. At the end, everyone can make his own update schedule and only update when the time is right. It's just not easy to skip installing the good stuff when they are released.

Regarding the ROM, I was always on ARHD since I bought this phone and S-OFF'd it. I only recently tried another ROM when Sense 7 ports started to appear and I didn't like it so I went back to Sense 6 ARHD 36.4 until I updated today. Amazing ROM I have to say, keep up the good work!

Question

If you copy the rom zip to your internal storage, but then format data in TWRP, will that delete the rom you just copied, so you can't flash it? If so, how would you copy the zip to your device without booting into the os?
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneeuwtijger:
You just format 1 of the partitions that make up your Android System - the DATA partition is in a bad state and has to be formatted- be sure to copy all files on this partition before you proceed!

[One (M8) Android Development] ahmed_ais:
One thing I noticed in release 40.3, the icon for Messages app is still the old one from Sense 6 (green), is this something missed when porting or it is meant to be this way? I think having the same colors as other new icons should look better.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneeuwtijger:
You are right - copy the Rom to external SD-card, TWRP can flash it from there ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
It's power and vol up to simulate a battery pull. After the screen goes black, switch to vol down to get into bootloader screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] roboprint:
If I am right understand, just install ,,Quick Boot" from Google Play.

This app can restart your phone in recovery or bootloader or just reboot :)

camera gallery shows ALL photos

camera gallery shows ALL photos instead of ONLY photos taken with the camera. is this an HTC issue or something ARHD has implemented? is there a way i can make the camera gallery open up only the shots taken with the camera?

im hoping this additional info will shed more light on this issue. when i hit the preview on the bottom right in the camera app, it opens up the "timeline" and shows all photos saved on the phone, instead of the "camera shots" in the folder view of the gallery app

of course. but my problem is if i tell someone "hey take a photo for me", and they take a few snaps, then they decide they want to swipe through them to see the photos they just took. right after the pictures they just took, it'll just start showing all my photos. i would like to go back to the preview in the camera app to only show the "camera shots" folder instead of the "all photos" folder
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
gallery automatically detects all image files and displays them. This becomes a problem if you have work files with image attachments (stuff you don't want in your gallery)

method 1:

gallery > tap on the top left icon > albums > select the stuff you want

method 2 (you can do this from PC but if you do it from phone you need to enable showing hidden files):

go to android > data

you'll find a file called .nomedia

copy and paste that file to the folders you don't want your phone to scan for image data

try method 1 and select just camera shots...

also, if you're referring to people seeing the shots only they took while your phone is locked and not be able to see your other photos, that's an iPhone feature only!
[One (M8) Android Development] TogoFire:

Well. I backed up my phone before I formatted, realized it deleted everything. Am I going to be able to flash a ROM? If so, how? I don't have an extra SD card near me.
[One (M8) Android Development] martinnr:
I already figure that out, thing is that in older ROMs whenever you open the gallery from the camera app it showed the pics taken by the camera only, and if you want to see other albums you can go then to choose the one you needed.
[One (M8) Android Development] infimis:
thanks for the suggestion. but it is not changing the behavior in the camera app itself. from within the camera app, hitting the preview on the bottom right will scroll through all photos. i want it to only scroll through camera shots from within the camera app without having to back out and go into the gallery app. if that is even possible.

nothing about the phone being locked. just using the camera app period.

Hello,

Yesterday i flashed this rom, and i wanted to enable ART via developers options but i can't seem to find it.

So how can i enable ART?
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
When you have formatted your internal storage, using TWRP, mount the disk. You can then transfer the ROM to the newly formatted disc. Or if that doesn't work, you'll need to sideload the ROM using ADB. See mikes guide here: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.gr/2013/12/ow-to-use-adb-sideload.html or this: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.gr/2013/12/how-to-copy-rom-zip.html

This ROM is based on ART, it's enabled by default.

Yeah, I just saw that :). I'll try mounting the phone and loading a ROM as soon as I'm home.
[One (M8) Android Development] TempestZ:
You can use ADB push to push the rom to your phone and then flash it
[One (M8) Android Development] MehNameIsDan:
I saw a post about side-loading ADB but, I still don't know what it does/means. I have yet to research about ADB.
[One (M8) Android Development] TempestZ:
Well if you have drivers installed, and I suspect you have you can open cmd on windows and type "adb devices" and it should show your device if connected. So if you have your ROM in C partition, then you can use "adb push C:\rom.zip \sdcard" and then just flash it with recovery. Not sure if you need to mount anything before.

The biggest headache with this was getting windows to recognize adb in recovery. Sideload works too.

ADB is Android Debug Bridge and is a way to control your phone from your PC.

If everything fails just get an SD card from someone

Here are the basic steps for Sideload

1)place rom into adb/fastboot folder (you need to download these from somewhere, google)

2)boot to recovery

3)open cmd,check for connectivity

adb devices

(should return serial number)

4)select "install from sideload" from the recovery menu

5)in cmd,enter:

adb sideload romname.zip (where romname is your actual rom's name)

you should see it installing on the phones screen

Installing Xposed on Lollipop is currently a two-step process. The first involves flashing the file xposed-arm-20150308.zip via recovery; the second installing the apt XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk through Android. (Note that the two filenames will change in future as newer builds are made. Just choose the most recent versions, and do check back from time to time to see if there are updates.)

So I just got a brand new HTC One M8 on Craigslist for VZW. I have a Tmobile sim so im going to be using it in a fully gsm mode. Right now Im s-off, super cid, and using the stock vzw 20000 Model-ID. Flashed this rom and then the Lollisense VZW Kernel. Everything works fine, but the only problem I seem to have is spotty coverage, one minute ill have full working LTE then itll stop and I feel like I have to switch network settings to get it all working again, but eventually ill have to keep switching. So right now my plan is to change mid to the 10000 euro version, flash the rom and use the kernel it came with, not a vzw kernel, and then try the GSM mode through that. Do you guys think I would have better success?

Overheating and battery drain after using 40.3

Hi guys, a couple of days ago I flashed the new 40.3 rom on my m8. I immediately restored the 22.2 version because of some serious oveheating issues (the phone was constantly hot, at least 15° more than usual) and battery consumption (20% gone just by browsing on 9gag and nothing else). Actually I didn't check what was draining the battery, I just got scared somehow and went immediatly back on kitkat (22.2). Does anyone have a solution or explanations?

Mobile Data widget

Just noticed a little bug, no biggie by any means! It regards the widget for turning Mobile Data on/off. When I touch it, there is no graphic change, i.e. it remains greyed out, whereas all the other widgets change colour when they are touched.

The mobile data still works for me, comes on straight away in the status bar at the top of the screen, and so far the only fix needed is switching between one screen to the left or right and swiping back, then the graphic of the widget is as it should be. Happens both for turning mobile data on and off.

Interested to know if that's just me, quite a random glitch I'm having and is the same from reboot everytime.

[One (M8) Android Development] -Duir-:
That build number will just display the version the ROM is based off of. To find the the actual firmware version you need ADB installed and to boot into fastboot and plug your phone into your computer and then from your ADB folder type fastboot getvar all. Post the results of that command here but remove the serial # and IMEI lines. That will show what firmware the phone is actually using.
[One (M8) Android Development] Th3MuffStuff:
Oh yeah you're right, silly me. What he said ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
You could also easily get to the fastboot without needing a computer... if you don't have APM, Turn off phone then hold down volume down and power and boom your in fastboot, and you will have your firmware version there!!! what's the point of doing getvar for the firmware version when fastboot tells you? especially when you telling it to a user who doesn't know what they're firmware version even is, which should automatically tell you they have less experience.

That's strange, something might be wrong, you should just flash this firmware, and you should have full stability, chose the one "no red text" if you wish so you don't have that disclaimer on the HTC screen, just follow these instructions and you will be fine, flash the firmware...
