I just flashed ElementalX via Recovery , left all settings in Aroma setup as they where (did not change anything) , battery life is very good - although I must admit that I can not compare it to stock because ARHD and ElementalX are installed immediately on my phone once I had a decent backup - it takes to much time to wait for 4.4.3 to be pushed via official channels here in Europe Mainland :D

Nice I must admit tho I had full battery earlier this morning but have been flashing and trying different roms etc and reinstalling apps and listening to music on YouTube etc and it's at 35%

I have no issues running this rom as well. I followed all the instructions, i.e. upgrading my firmware before installing and so far its been solid. This is the best rom experience that I have ever had for any android device.
[One (M8) Android Development] maikel_swe:
Maybe it will be working in the next version.

Will use titanium to backup before my next rom update.

Two problems (and solutions) I ran into while installing ARHD

Hi, I just finished installing Android Revolution HD 10.2 on my M8 international.

The installation was very smooth and easy. Love that wizard.

I did run into two issues. I managed solving them, with the help of a very nice guy - ckpv5 - but I wanted to tell about my experience here, since IMHO I believe those issues needs to be well known in the main thread.

1) I installed ARHD over my stock 1.54.707.7. The installation went without a hitch, but after that, I discovered the restart process is very slow (around 5 mins I think). I discovered that I created a mismatch between ARHD and the firmware of my phone, that apparently needs to be 2.22.X and not 1.54, so I had to:

a) create nandroid backup for ARHD

b) restore my nandroid backup of 1.54.707.7 stock

c) flash matching stock recovery

d) update OTA to 2.22.707.3

e) flash TWRP recovery

f) restore nandroid backup of ARHD

All that to fix the slowness (or perhaps more problems that weren't discovered yet).

Now, is it true that it is recommended to install ARHD only over firmware 2.22.*? Assuming it is so, shouldn't you specify that clearly in the main post?

2) I unsuspectingly installed the Harmon Kardon mod just to find out that my phone doesn't play mp3 files anymore.. Even disabling the mod in the settings didn't help. I had to reflash ARHD and not mark the mod. Apparently, it only works on s-off devices. Again, if this is true, I really think that it should be mentioned clearly in the main post (IMHO).

Other than that, I was quite perplexed while trying to figure out which mods I would like to install (attached image). I couldn't find detailed explanations on each one anywhere on XDA or on the web. I eventually only installed Xposed.

Thanks allot for the awesome rom!

Hey Mike,

Will we ever see wireless calling in this ROM for the carriers that support it? I know it's been requested for a long, long time.

Love your work. Thanks for all you do.
[One (M8) Android Development] talla1:
I haven't tried your specific apps, but I did have issues related to mp3 files not being played (system wide, not related to a specific app) and eventually it was due to the fact that I am (still) s-on but tried to install the harmon kardon mod when installing ARHD.

I'm not sure if that's your issue, but if you're s-on and installed the harmon kardon mod, it might be worth a shot.

[One (M8) Android Development] Tower1972:
most of the points you mentioned can be easily found with the search tool as they have been covered multiple times (most times the same question is asked not more then a few posts below the first time it was asked lol) . Funny thing is, well actually sad thing is, even if mike posted all this stuff on the main page, people would STILL ask the same stuff over and over again
[One (M8) Android Development] talla1:
Aham... I seem to have missed that notification (it's not very conspicuous)..

My apologies.

P.S.

That's only answers the mismatching firmware thing. It's not related to the harmon kardon mod issue I had.

P.P.S

I just noticed the post there says that 2.22.401.4 is required specifically, and I installed 2.22.707.3 OTA. Is it good enough??

Tower,

I'm sure I'm not the first person in the world to run into these issues. But I assure you, I'm not the type who's afraid of typing a few key words in a search box, open up the first 15 results and start reading, but there are cases where the multitude of information simply makes the correct answer blend into the background so well that it's effectively becomes invisible for us normal folk.

In allot of cases, I opened posts with an issue description similar to mine, but all I could find are answers that tell (sometimes yell at) the poster to search harder because that question was already asked before. No links provided.

Now what should a person do in such a case?
[One (M8) Android Development] djmatt604:
The answer you'll normally get to a question like that is "refine your search terms and search again until you find it"...

Everybody has to learn somehow, it's tough love, but the answers ARE out there if people are telling you they are. It's not that people don't want to be helpful, it's that people don't want to be repetitive.

Good luck, hope you can get to the bottom of your issue!
[One (M8) Android Development] Tower1972:
I have had quite a few occasions where I would have to ask, since the search tool seems to like throwing me errors and telling me to contact the forums administrator lol...Guess I wasnt trying to scold you so much as to make the point that even if Mike puts all that information up there,,,people will STILL ask
[One (M8) Android Development] cjbart1009:
I'm not sure if this is ROM related or just a general issue for the phone. I accidentally converted play store to a user app (was gonna convert google play services but they're right next to each other) and I got the message saying the play store has stopped working. I converted back to system app but it still won't open, uninstalled and installed still won't open, cleared play store cache and data still won't work, cleared google play store data and I somehow was able to get in the play store but downloading another app made it crash. Clearing google play services enables me to use the app for about 5 minutes until it crashes. I really like the settings I've done on my phone so I wanna try to avoid doing a wipe and re-installing the ROM. I don't think it's a general phone issue because I've read other people converting play store into a user app and didn't run into any problems.
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
You need to move it to priv-app not app

you could make it a user app as well, but its in priv-app in both htc stock and arhd.
[One (M8) Android Development] cjbart1009:
How would I move it to priv-app? Can I do that in TB?

Try cutting and pasting in es explorer, i haven't found a way in titanium although didn't look in depth.

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You need to update your firmware. That line you're looking at has nothing to do with your firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] k.s.deviate:
Fastboot command "getvar all" will tell you what firmware you are on. The way you checked is just cosmetic that Mike put in his Rom.

Second, once you find out what firmware you are on if it isn't a 2.22 etc number go to the general section and read vomers guide ;). once you have read how to flash the firmware go back to the download section in this Rom and look for the firmware section on Mike's page. Download the correct firmware 2.22.401.4 and flash it, twice.. then reflash TWRP and restore your ARHD back-up or reflash the Rom and you should be good...

If I've left anything out, someone please chime in.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan5001:
Hi.

Thanks for that.

Due to the problems I'm having, I did wonder if I was looking at the correct information. Where on the device does it tell me my firmware? Also, do you have any ideas how I would update the firmware given that I'm S-On & I don't seem to be able to get my pc to send adb commands to my device?

Cheers.
[One (M8) Android Development] mobileman88:
Is there a place in this rom which I can turn off the Camera wake gesture without turning off the other Wake Gestures? I keep getting the Camera turned on by mistake occasionally.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan5001:
Hi.

Thanks for that. I've just tried the "fastboot getvar all" command from my adb folder but it just sits at the "waiting for device" prompt (>15 minutes before I closed the window) & doesn't do anything else, so is there any other way to find it? Also, Vomer's guide is one of the many guides I've read & the one I followed to get as far as I have.

As my phone is already unlocked & rooted with TWRP installed, I've just tried to pick it up again at the S-Off & SUPER CID section & I did get some new stuff happening in my command window but it was all to no avail because after opening the first bottle & chugging, I got this message:

********** whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device **********

********** no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix... **********

********** DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!! **********

********** if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced **********

********** bye bye.....sorry it didn't work out. **********

Is there any way for my to reset my device so that this might eventually work? All I really want is to have a functional custom ROM (preferrably ARHD) but I seem to be stopped at every turn. :(

EDIT

I've just gone to my bootloader & I don't know if it's relevant but I get:

***TAMPERED***

***UNLOCKED***

M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

[One (M8) Android Development] k.s.deviate:
You need to be in the boot loader in fast boot usb for the command to work. I think..

Also use the sunshine method to gain s-off to flash firmware. I think it's cost money but you only have to do it once.
[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
Sunshine is a great method if you are trying to achieve s-off. Make sure you change to supercid before changing firmwares.

This is to the other guy, not you :)
[One (M8) Android Development] dan5001:
Hi. Thanks for that.

I've got so frustrated with all this, I've just paid for Sunshine, got S-OFF &, following Vomer's guide, also got SUPER CID :)

I thought that this would solve all my problems but apparently noot!!

Looking at my bootloader, it says HBOOT is 3.16.0.0000, so I now know that I'm on the wrong firmware version.

However, I've tried to upgrade this firmware by downloading what I think is the correct update .zip from the list at the bottom of the aforementioned Vomer's guide:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

v2.22.401.5 which I renamed to firmware.zip as suggested, & then tried flashing the .zip in TWRP but it just keeps telling me that the update has failed!

Do I have to do it using the adb commands on Vomers guide? I didn't think so but it's just not working??

I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Given that I've spent so long on this & have paid for Sunshine, you can see that I'm trying to help myself but I've still got rain!!

EDIT

Just a thought, I do still have ARHD v10.2 installed at the moment because even though it's not working properly without the correct firmware, it's the only ROM I've got at the moment, so it means I can use the M8 to a degree; would that cause the problem with upgrading the firmware?
[One (M8) Android Development] clj575:
Anyone on the new 2.22 tmo firmware and running 10.2? I clean flashed and it powers down after flash and have to manually reboot...then it sticks on boot screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] BenPope:
What do you think the guide is for? Yes, you need to follow the guide. If the guide says use adb and fastboot, its because you need to use and and fastboot. Just because its a zip file, doesn't mean you can use TWRP.
[One (M8) Android Development] WinterApocalypse:
Firmware .zip files must be flashed from within RUU mode.

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

You'll get an error, this is normal. Just run previous command again

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot

Now you're done.
[One (M8) Android Development] cjbart1009:
Should I flash the 15403 firmware? I'm on att
[One (M8) Android Development] rexisrex:
Flash in RUU mode

Danny boy... Firmware files are flashed on RUU mode and nothing twrp. You can even brickyyour phone by doing such stuff if there are IMG files not compatible to your model... Try reading vomers guide fully and you should be fine.. Also if flash fails due to unsupported model ID adding your model numberttoaandroid. Txt inside the firmware file should solve it. Again firmware files have to be flashed twice as first one will error out.
[One (M8) Android Development] revoltech:
Yes, I am on that firmware and it's been solid connection wise for BT, Wifi and mobile data service. 2.22.401.4 gave me odd connection dropouts on mobile data and inconsistent signal coverage.
[One (M8) Android Development] bruce7373:
I'm with AT&T as well, but I have the International model, so I'm using the 2.22.401.5 firmware. My problem doesn't concern drops in mobile data but consistently slow LTE speed. I only get 5MB down whereas, if I put my SIM into my Nexus 4 (modded for LTE), I always get at least 15MB in the same location.

I've tried numerous radios to no avail, but am wondering if completely changing firmware would help. I'm s/off and SuperCID. Any thoughts?

[One (M8) Android Development] Flylowguy:
10.2 is unsupported for Verizon because the Android 4.4.3 firmware isn't released. (won't be until mid September. Send your hate mail to Verizon corporate.) Currently your only solution is to use ARHD 8.1, which I posted a download link to a few pages ago. Search and you should find it.

[One (M8) Android Development] dan5001:
Hey guys,

Thanks for your responses & your confirmation of the fastboot commands that I should be using :)

I'm about to try the firmware flash but I'm a little bit nervous now that rexisrex mentioned bricking my phone, albeit by trying to flash the firmware through TWRP, so please could I ask one (or maybe 2-3) quick last question(s) before I do it?

As BenPope rightly says, I realise that the guides are there to be followed; I think I just had a bit of a meltdown with spending so long in front of the pc trying to undo my mistakes & really just making things worse, especially when I started getting problems with my device not responding to adb commands because it was "offline". Anyway, reading Vomer's guide, he says that I should:

- start by downloading the firmware that I want:

- in my case v2.22.401.5 (I presume it's okay to get the newest version, rather than sticking to v2.22.401.4 that the ARHD page says you need before flashing ARHD v10.2?) - If so, that's done but I'm not sure where to put it; Vomer's guide seems to suggest that it should be on my pc, so do I need to put it in my adb folder as Vomer's adb command "C:\adb\firmware.zip" would suggest? I currently have it on the device itself but also on my pc (Win 8.1) in the folder I've been running all my adb commands from, which is "C:\Users\Dan\.android" (that's just where I found my adb files in the first place). Once I'm confident it's in the right location, I'm ready to go except that I wouldn't mind knowing whether, if the firmware update doesn't work, will my phone then be bricked or will the original firmware remain in place?

- My other question, & I'm not sure it even matters, but as I'm following Vomer's guide to the letter now, he says that I should also run the command "fastboot getvar all", which, when I previously ran it, just sat at a "waiting for dvice" prompt & never moved. This time, it worked :) but on this line in Vomer's guide "(bootloader) version-main: 1.54.401.5 < This is your firmware version" in my command window, mine only says "INFOversion-main:"; there is no further information on my current firmware version - does this matter?? Given that my device seems to be functional, it must have a firmware, so I'm guessing not but at this point, I'd rather not guess.

That's it! I'm sorry for being such a pain but I don't want to screw anything up when I'm so close.

Thanks again guys & I hope you can answer those 2-3 questions, so that I can start enjoying my fully functional M8 :D

Hello guys

Tomorrow I will receive my HTC One M8 and the first thing that I will do, is flashing this wonderful ROM. So I did some research and read the flashing guide. Now I think that the process of flashing the ROM didn't change a much since the HTC One X. (my phone that I use now with ARHD) Did I understand this good?
[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
I don't mean to be rude, but have you considered asking these questions on the firmware thread? That would seem to me the best place to get these answers.

[One (M8) Android Development] dan5001:
Hi dspcap,

No offence taken ;)

I did post my original question in here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/firmware-flashing-2-22-401-4-htc044-cid-t2843806/page3

& did mean to post my last questions in there too but in responding to the answers I got here, I then forgot to post the questions in the firmware thread too :o Plus, I guess I figured that since the guys who responded here clearly knew the appropriate coding, it made sense to ask the questions of them, rather than just going straight to the firmware thread.

Anyway, now that you've reminded me, I'll go & post my questions over there now.

O2__001 if I'm not mistaken hasn't pushed an OTA for 2.xx firmware so if you flash ARHD 10.x you will suffer with slow boot times and sometimes bt/wi-fi issues. You can stick to version 8.1 or opt to s-off and follow the guides to upgrade firmware and flash 10.2

Anyone encountered problem in the rom when playing music through the default music app, it shows as playing but no sound at all?

But when playing through poweramp all fine

Im trying to figure if its rom related(stock rom didn't have that)

Or maybe some xposed module causing it

BTW

does a soft reboot is enough to apply an xposed module?

If you choose hkmod you need to flash the right adsp. I think a soft boot works for most modules but for some it may need a full boot.

is hkmod is the mod for the 'better music exprience' ?

if so - what is ADSP stands for and where do i find the "right" one?
