new rom

I have htc one m8 and have InsertCoin M8 7.1.9

also have Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0 and my phone is UNLOCKED and m8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON.

My question is:

I wona Android Revolution HD 53.1 what i need to do?

1. Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card

Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM

You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

After flashing process is complete, reboot the device

2. Firmware Flashing?

3. Karnel Flashing?

4. Or somthing else.?

I have this rom but i need to come back stock. im s-on hboot 3.19 firmware 6.12.4.1.10
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
As you are s-on, I suggest you go back to stock, take OTA updates to MM, then flash this ROM. It will save stress trying to find the correct signed firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] a_Sika:
quick question..

is it ok to have that ROM while my device is on different firmware?

my getvar all is 6.13.631.7

thanks,
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Yes, you'll have no problems as long as you're not Sprint.

Help me decide if I should install ARHD 53.1

I am currently using ARHD 45.0 and it's alright. I wanted to get the marshmallow eperience in so my options are ARHD 53.1 or any other custom rom. Is the version 53.1 recommended or should i just wait for 54.0 which mike said isn't gonna be much late. I am reading a lot of complains about keyboard lagging. Users please share your thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

[One (M8) Android Development] Adel_Linux:
53.1 is good but if 54.0 is soon to be released is worth the wait I suppose as mike will try to fix some battery drainage issues as well.

I did that. My main problem is that my phone doesn't ring when I receive a call. Does anyone know the name of the process which make the phone ringing ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Gerton:
Tried the search but didn't find the thing I was looking for, running 53.1 for a while now, clean flash from scratch, phone is very snappy.. only thing bothering me is the lag on the dialer, when I receive calls there isn't any lag noticeable, but when I want to make a call it takes the dialer a second or 5 before it begins to make the call. The screen freezes on dialer until it definitely begins the call after that it works like it should again.

Somebody recognize this?

Please Help!
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
The title of this ROM is: [ROM] Android Revolution HD 53.1 | ART | High Quality & Performance | 6.12.401.4_R

Do you notice a difference between what you posted and what I highlighted in RED? If that wasn't a big enough clue, a simple search would have told you that you need a Verizon compatible kernel flashed IMMEDIATELY after the ROM and BEFORE you start the device for the first time. Now go back and start again.
[One (M8) Android Development] navneethnvk1:
can anyone put up kernel for verizon that support this rom

[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
We cannot see what your firmware is, but I'm almost certain you still have Lollipop because of the bootloader. If you're trying to get back to stock, which I suggest as you are S-ON, go here and read carefully post #1. Then take updates to Marshmallow and then come back here to flash ARHD.
[One (M8) Android Development] vinoxflame:
That happened to me when I receive the 3 preparation updates for marshmallow. But the main update never arrived leaving the firmware blank.
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
The usual cause of blank firmware/OS in bootloader is having an older version of TWRP which contains a bug that deletes that information. From version 2.8.7.0 and above, the bug is not present. You also need to flash a new firmware to show the information.
[One (M8) Android Development] McAlister:
About the lag with keyboard, I had it yesterday (on imgur) but it was because à gif was on the page. It was very very very laggy.

Can't install any new roms

So I've been on the 11.1 version of android revolution for a while, I tried updating today but the WIFI would just not work (everything else would) so I tried going back as far as 22.2 and even that had the same problem. I go back to my 11.1 rom and notice that it asks me one additional question: which type of phone is this? I select 'international' and then later when the roms installed, the wifi works. Does anybody know if there's any other international versions of more modern roms??
[One (M8) Android Development] JonasL1:
You have to update your firmware and then your Wifi will work when you flash the latest ROM. Use the search function to find out how to update your firmware. It's asked and answered many times.
[One (M8) Android Development] Stapps:
Damn.. I don't really have enough knowledge to be okay with turning s-off
[One (M8) Android Development] H3rby77:
No, it's MM.
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Thats the version the rom is based on, not your actual firmware. You need to update your firmware before this rom will work without problems.
[One (M8) Android Development] elandroido:
That is the ROM version _not_ the firmware version.
[One (M8) Android Development] H3rby77:
Okay, thanks. Is there another chance to read out the firmeware or can I flash simply the newest? TWRP 2.8.7.0 is installed.
[One (M8) Android Development] elandroido:
If you are S-Off you can simply flash the newest... And you can read out the current version by entering fastboot mode and issuing "fastboot getvar all"...
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Update TWRP to version 3.0.0 and follow the procedures I linked to earlier. You are s-on, so can't just flash unsigned firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] AliHB:
Clean. Wiped data, followed instructions as written on page 1.

Speeds almost normal after restarting my phone a few times. Can get laggy at times tho.

I didnt apply any of the tweaks in aroma.
[One (M8) Android Development] H3rby77:
Okay, TWRP 3.0.0.1 is now installed. According to attachment I have the old firmware as you said. I try your link, another way to get a signed firmware for my phone isn't possible?
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Only if you can find a signed firmware from HTC. A rare find, but may be possible. Save time and go back to stock, take the OTA updates and you know for sure it is done correctly. Then re-flash ARHD. Better all round.
[One (M8) Android Development] lafite66:
not sure if this has anything to do with the current build but when I take video, its shaky and doesn't upload to FB with HD quality. video stutters while capturing and it shows when uploaded to FB...
[One (M8) Android Development] Constantijn88:
My phone is a lot more sluggish compared to ARHD v48.

I've wiped and reflashed it a couple of times but nothing works.

This is my process:

1. Full wipe

2. Flash rom

3. Boot rom

4. Reboot recovery

5. Restore data from NanDroid backup

6. Wipe cache

7. Reboot

Also, it's no longer rooted :(

Will someone please help me?

[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Do NOT restore data from Nandroid. All you are doing is restoring the problem that you cleared with a clean flash.
[One (M8) Android Development] Constantijn88:
FIXED IT!!

Thanks but that wasn't the problem apparently.

It had something to do with it not being rooted anymore. And because of that, the Seeder app didn't work either.

I was able to root it with the latest SuperSU v2.68-BETA (at time of writing)

Simple Instructions to fix it for anyone else who has this lag/sluggish problem and lost Root.
[One (M8) Android Development] krakout:
Well, I've been with 53.1 since day 1, and I've got to say it's got it's problems, at least for me... it really needs a reboot every now and then because it becomes very sluggish, and it seems to me that I need to clean install it again - it's so bad by now.

offtopic again ..while seeing the "54.0 soon" i got really excited

and thought on going deep into the firmware issue i have

53.1 running now

software status modified / unlocked / m8_ul pvt ship s-on / hboot-3.19.0.000 / radio-1.25.214500021.06g / opendsp-v48.2.2-00564-m8974_f0.1211 / os-4.19.111.4 / emmc-boot 2048mb / aug 28.2015

getvar all needed?

if enough info .this is the response i receive while flashing 6.12.401.4

"sending zip okay, adopting blabla, zip header checking..info parsing

FAILED (remote:99 unknown fail)"

i know having latest firmware is a must ..but have no clue what to do next

phone is ok.. little lag, no reset or whatever .. 54.0 coming soon i see :)

anyone have little patience to put me on the right path? :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Plomiwn:
Well... you're s-on so you can't flash any FW. you need to go through OTA updates to get it.
[One (M8) Android Development] MadBastard:
Because you are s on ,you need to flash signed firmware zip.Never searched for it so I can't point you where you can find it. I think easier way is go back to stock ,update to mm via ota.
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
You cannot flash that firmware being S-ON. You need firmware matching your CID which you don't publish.
[One (M8) Android Development] eurofiles:
so ..back to stock is the way for me ?

will try doing it then

i think there's plenty of info

thanks :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Go to this thread and look for the firmware version you have. It's in the first post under

CID T-MOB101

MID 0P6B10000 - x.xx.111.x

Get the stock recovery from post #4 and then you can get OTA updates to MM. Enjoy.
[One (M8) Android Development] eurofiles:
then back to Revolution HD!

thanks

ARHD is the best ROM I ever had on the M8. [MENTION=1631739]mike1986.[/MENTION] is the best.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
OK all....I think i've F*cked Up and need some help! I flashed the firmware which all seemed fine (twice) then rebooted the phone...now it won't load past the splash screen (no red text). I can get into recovery however it looks like stock recovery to me (as in, it doesn't look like TWRP). I can't sideload anything vie adb it seems either. Any help would be appreciated (on a mac btw).

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] JonasL1:
1) Your old ROM would probably not work with the new firmware --> you should flash a new one.

2) The stock recovery is probably flashed during the firmware update --> you should first flash TWRP again.

3) If you bootloader is relocked, don't forgot to unlock it again.

Hi i used arhd for 2 years but ver 53.1 is very laggy on notofication panel and quick setting

Plz fix it on 54
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneeuwtijger:
Did you update your firmware to the latest available and perform a clean install? If not, please do - I did and have no problems of lagging anywhere on 53.1 ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Cheers! Managed to flash TWRP via adb eventually, then used that to flash a very old version of ARHD which was (luckily) still on the SD card. Transferred over the new ROM once booted and installed via TWRP. Everything seems to be running really well EXCEPT.... Boot seems to take a very very long time. Anyone else had this issue?
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Long boot is usually firmware related. Confirm your firmware version from bootloader screen or in fastboot getvar all.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Definitely on the right Firmware...(it was the one you linked too earlier)
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Just to confirm again, what colour is the firmware version in bootloader screen? Does it show once or twice?
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
6.12.401.4

It's green and only shows once
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
That's me stumped then. I have nothing else to offer at this stage, sorry.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
No worries, thanks for your help. Boots seem to be a bit faster now after the first couple so all is good. Looking forward to ARHD 54.0!

Hi!

I didn't try it yet (lack of time), but this kernel seems to work. See the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65484677

By the way, some weeks ago, I tried to update my ROM to ARHD 53.1. I wasn't able because I had a bad kernel (At that time, I had not found the kernel above yet).

But anyway, I tried to leave the firmware 6.12.401.4 running together with a previous version of ARHD and I got random reboots, so I had to downgrade the firmware too.

Install my apps using adb

[One (M8) Android Development] Qevinator:
Yeah, after a lot of searching I found the answer. It's Android WebView that is causing the problems. Why?

Read this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=570404

To fix it, just uninstall Android WebView and download version 47.0.2526.100-252610000_minAPI21 (last one that worked) from here: http://www.apkmirror.com

Make sure you disable automatic updates from Playstore, so this version of WebView doesn't get updated
[One (M8) Android Development] Mischa42:
I would not recommend to disable update of Web view. Google updates this component to fix bugs and exploits (security issues) . Search for Stagefright for example.. Beginning with Android 5 Google moved some parts of Android to components in order to be able to fix them over Play Store. If you disable the update you will never get latest security patches.
[One (M8) Android Development] Qevinator:
I know, but it's either that or not being able to send emails. I believe HTC already fixed it in their newest mail.apk, but that's for Android 6.0+

For now I'd like to stay with ARHD 41.0, because I find it way more stable than the Marshmallow versions and I can't miss Sense Toolbox.

I'd like to emphasize that's my opinion, not a fact :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
He did indeed, but I am patient 0 and his fix has sadly not worked as it did with the extended quick settings and the weather.

I also use xposed so want to know for sure it is not something I have done that broke it.
[One (M8) Android Development] MLPosey27:

Can any AT&T users verify I am not crazy. I ran the AT&T ROM for about 6 minutes before unlocking and flashing Mike's ROM and noticed the stock ROM was able to double tap to wake and sleep. With Mike's international ROM, double tap to sleep doesn't seem to be working for me.
