[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
So basically anything that needs root at startup won't work. So basically this method of root is only good to maybe copy internal files to external sd card bypassing that kit Kat crap?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Until we figure out a method to disable write protection that's pretty much gonna be it. Write protection on this phone is just as much a pain in the ass as it was on the one and one max.

It will happen though. That's the only thing we know for certain.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Ok. Thank you for explaining. I was always spoiled before and HTC devices I had were simple s-Off or everything but s-Off so could still do just about anything. Just gotta be patient but honestly surprised how fast we got this temp root only already! In sure the development will start kicking in.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
The biggest hurdle for us is the fact we cannot even use HTC dev to boot loader unlock. That's why we now have to wait to get a working s-off method. Its only a matter of time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] yattaro:
I'd think you should be able to HTCdev unlock the bootloader and do what I did on my old EVO 3D which was to flash the boot.img separately through fastboot. What am I saying though? It's been a while since I have had a HTC device besides my sister's media-only EVO running CM7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
My Adaway works again now...when you haven't seen an AD in an app in years they are HUGELY annoying....

and I was able to move my app data from my DNA to the M8 from MyBackup Pro..so there are some huge perks with this root.

And conversely being able to back up APK + DATA and your sense home screen layouts will come in handy when the inevitable S-OFF comes and we need to wipe our devices :)

I can't seem to get DSPManager to not FC no matter how I install it. I've tried flashing as a system app and installing as user, clearing cache/data and with any KK/Sense rom thus far the app always immediately force closes. It worked fine for ICS and JB builds but it seems something going on in KK or Sense is interfering. Has anybody got DSP working on KK/Sense?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bakumatsu:
Try Viper4Android

Much better than DSP
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
I'm aware of that app although I would like to stick to finding a solution to the problem I stated and not simply using a different app.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It has always fc'd on any CM ROM ive tried, its something you've got to accept.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
I use Viper's built in sound enhancer. Works flawlessly and better than DSP
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I don't think dsp works on HTC phones. I have had it work on nexus devices and moto ones but never on an HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
It usually force closes due to a missing library call in lib audio effects.

Usually stereowide is the one missing....fwiw.

Not really hard to fix. ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
If that's your solution to software problems I'm glad you don't develop.

I tried Viper but none of the settings had any effect on audio, a common issue with DSP as well. I'm gonna fiddle with it a bit more though.

Actually the old v1 of DSP works fine on 4.2.2/Sense 5.0 and earlier when the proper audioeffects text file is flashed to etc. It not working for people through the years has mostly to do with this and DSP's inability to take exclusive priority over the global audio output of any given device. CM are the one's actually maintaining the app, of which there is a 3rd version which doesn't force close in KK/Sense but also won't do anything to the audio effects either. I had this same problem with Viper4Android. It constantly prompts me to install a binary but the settings never change the sound. I don't think it's the audioeffects config file or the libs but some other file such as audiopolicy. If anyone knows what changes are present in KK that differ from JB in terms of how Android and Sense handle audio effects that information would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Hmmm...now we're getting somewhere. I have done some audio effect editing myself which is how I got DSP to work from Sense 3.5-5.0 roms. So you are saying "stereowide" causes FC's in KK because the original version of DSP won't even open in KK. I don't recall ever seeing that effect....can you post an example for me to test? Just the audio effect file.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yeah I can for you tomorrow.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
This has been like this for a long time and the developers have tried to fix it to no avail. Let's see what you can do :silly:

I'll be glad if you can fix it, you're the One, Neo.
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Indeed...I already created a thread for a fix on earlier versions of sense so yeah its not that out of my reach actually. Oh say hello to Sir Topum Hat when you see him would ya.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] steve-sydney:
Hi everyone,

I have an HTC One XL telstra mobile and spent 5 hours yesterday unlocking the boot loader, installing CWM and getting root.

Ive verified I have root with an app called root checker basic. Yes I know 5 hours seems excessive so I havent mentioned the entire day spent finding documentation to do it. :(

So now I'm trying to copy an apk to the /system/app/ folder which has permission 755. Attempt 1 just doesnt do anything attempt 2 reboots the phone. I have changed the permission to 777 same result.

I have copied the apk to /system/ which is also 755 and it goes in. But when I reboot its gone.

The question is could something be protecting the directory and rewriting it on each boot?

Steve
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
There is a write protection on the system partition within hboot 2.14 and up. Some roms have a built in script that mounts it writable it can also be bypassed within twrp.

Hi there, the game SSX is exclusively available for Xperia Z series phones.

I have edited my build.prop to have the Z's model number and the game starts up fine, I can get to the training drop but it eventually locks up and restarts the game, has anyone managed to get this game to play correctly? It looks like it freezes because of a lack of RAM, wish it would work! Looks really good!

Can anyone on 4.3 with the extra RAM test out the game?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
I'm currently on a custom kernel and rom for 4.3 but I'm having terrible battery life and I'm tired of flashing new roms to get the same result. As for some of my friends that have a verizon S3 phone, they get better battery life and don't have all the problems that I continue to have.

Is there a way to go back to complete stock and let my phone do the OTA update and not have to worry about this phone anymore?

I know I must sound crazy for wanting my phone to go back to normal, but I'm tired of having all the problems and trying to find new roms to have them fail on me, even though everyone else seems to be having good luck with them.

So again I'm a Verizon S3 on 4.3, Baseband VRUCML1. Ktoonz kernel on CleanRom 8

I remember seeing SoldierKnowsBest doing that with his iPhone...

Can you get him to post a mini review on here or pass on his knowledge to this thread? Would love to hear how his device feels and how it's holding up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Stealyourface:
There's plenty of videos on YouTube about this. One of the more normal ones (meaning not from a known personality) is from some Asian guy who said it actually didn't work with his iPhone. Water sensor was red. But then his phone ended up fine. Something like that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Na, I don't think I would get it. It looks pretty cool, but it's a little extreme for my needs. Neat concept though.

The colored checkered backing behind the glass is starting to flake around my home button. The phone still works fine, just to the left of the home button no longer has the checkered white (kind of like carbon fiber look).

How thick is that colored backing? Is it just a thin paper sticker on the backside of the screen? Does it serve any other purpose than just to make the phone white (or whatever color)?

If this is cause for concern, I was going to take it to a cell phone repair place to get the front replaced.
