Got a new lockscreen update too, seem to have the new weather clock on it
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
I didn't get the theme yet.. how come you got it?
[One (M8) General] giladgaron:
I don't know, it just appeared as an update in Play.

Maybe they're rolling it out in stages.
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
I got the update of sense home, but there is no new themes.

Did you got any apps update plus sense home and htc lock screen?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
None here, just Sense Home (with themes) and lockscreen.

Themes will come once people start creating/sharing them
[One (M8) General] giladgaron:
No. It's not a part of the settings menu.

You can find it in your app drawer, look for "Themes". you can also find it if you long press an empty space in your home screen.
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
I got it

I have to open the theme app first time from app drawer before its showing on settings
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I don't have anything new in Settings, the old theme options still goes to the old theme engine
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
Did you get the option of apps per your location.. home and work?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Yeah, the Sense Home widget works but I don't personally like it. I don't use enough apps to warrant it's use! :)
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
How can I use it?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Add it to your home screen as you would any other widget
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
Thanks a lot
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
I updated sense home, applied a new theme and i cant see it in nova or sense home launcher.. Status bar have the same color..
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
It's a Sense theme, therefore it probably only works in Sense
[One (M8) General] TwistyValhalla:
If I open Themes from app drawer, it just gives me a network error.. weird.

Ah OK. Good to know it's not an issue on my side. :)

Tried the new themes and ran back to Apex. Grid should be 6x5, widgets should be 5 wide. 5 wide looks so much better imho.

Hey fellows i own now Htc m8 Amber Gold , simply love it damn better while using it... than htc E8 which had almost same specs (but was running on 4.2.2 maybe that's why it was little not as smooth as now i feel using m8 on lollipop) .

But definitely better network reception, damn smooth on lollipop and love holding it,,,,, and awesome cases out there for it !!

Waiting for sense 7 on my premium M8 !!

There's a comment on facebook tough :

HTC : Thanks for asking. We'll be talking more about Sense 7 in the not too distant future. For now, we're releasing an update to the HTC One M8 with some of the great features you're probably looking for.

Has anyone managed to get the new htcspeak update to work, it downloads the language pack but wont initialize.
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
The theme thingy is kinda neat. There are a whole lot of options when you use the desktop browser to create a theme (https://themes.htc.com).

BUT: I couldn't find out how I can edit a theme. With the phone app you can, but with very limited options.

HELP

Any way to get back to the original HTC one M8 theme??? I can't get the original green, the black background for the app drawer, and I can't seem to create a new theme using the default icons, they force me to use one of these custom icons. And the HTC "default" theme they have sucks because of the blue app drawer.
[One (M8) General] TwistyValhalla:
Open Themes > My themes > HTC default. You can also change the theme colors from under Settings. I think the app drawer color was changed along with the new HTC Home update.
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
I can do that by opening the "Themes" app on the phone. Than press the hamburger button (top left, three-striped-button), My Themes (I think thats what's called, I use my phone in a different language - so it might be similar). There I see the standard theme on the bottom left. (EDIT: I see, that I was too late :))

I don't have the Sense 7 app either, but I'm happy to know that when Sense 7 arrives I am able to change the theme. Currently most of the settings in the theme aren't really used, due to Sense 6.
[One (M8) General] shafez:
So what is left in Sense 7 that sense 6 didn't get?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
sense 7 clock widget. :D

Funny how unprofessional they did some things. For example they updated the lockscreen widget, but the clock in it is sense 7 style while the digital clock widget: sense 6 - different font and the weather icon is on the opposite side. Not a biggy, but kinda bad looking.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good to see you high_voltage I think once you see the else sense 7 you'll get to like it, sense 7 is awesome honestly.
[One (M8) General] shafez:
Sense 7 clock can be installed as normal app
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
I already have Clock app and file manager app and calculater app and mail app for sense7 ...

I installed all of them as normal apps and all working great in the same style of sense7
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Nice to see you too. Yeah, I am sure I will like it... still stock, but tbh tempted to root and flash custom rom&kernel. Battery life on stock lollipop is bad and nowhere near kitkat.

Care to share the apk and tell me if it will work on stock unrooted M8? I guess it should if it's separated widget instead of system app?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I rooted mine as soon as I got it lol, I couldn't resist and I don't regret it, there is so much choice with soff, TBH you should have done it a while ago because now you'll have to pay to soff unfortunately, if you do root I can recommend LeeDroid Rom and quantum kernel, quantum is great for battery and has our old favourite intelliplug and intelliactive, if you use per app modes you can squeeze plenty of juice out of this beast, hope this helps you decide.
[One (M8) General] shafez:
It works with none rooted, Just extract and install as normal apk.
[One (M8) General] shafez:
download personalize apk from here to get new option in Personalize thanks to [MENTION=3816330]jahanzaiblohani[/MENTION]

[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
What I can expect to customize then? Navigation bar?
[One (M8) General] shafez:
- Change accent colors and in Settings\Personalize.

- New theme custom color selection tab.
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
That's mean it's just adding personalization on settings. Right? No more options than sense home update. Right?
[One (M8) General] shafez:
Try it and see yourself what it does and if you don't like it remove it, That is better than just ask,ask,ask ;)
[One (M8) General] irshansk:
WIll installing of those apk files affect possibility of OTA updates? Is it safe to install and still get OTA?
[One (M8) General] weepatc:
Just factory reset before accepting the OTA. I have the files installed & love all the new customisation they provide. It makes the phone more complete with LP now.Looking fwd to the official Sense 7 & LP 5.1 when it arrives. Go ahead & install, you'll like the changes.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
If anyones going to install the new gallery on apkmirror, uninstall the previous updates first, or it will force close.
[One (M8) General] knobbyhtccruise:
Can these updates be uninstalled ?
[One (M8) General] Petert87:
I think it's annoying that the lock screen has another clock then the widget. So I installed the Sense 7 clock widget.

if I was to update my voda branded phone with the wwe 1.54.401.10 firmware ....would it take of the simlock? Or wouldn't it even flash while locked.
[One (M8) General] MirageBlader:
Do s-off and you should be able to flash over custom recovery. After that flash the stock recovery and you also should be able to recive OTAs. Thats how i did it. But you need s-off and supercid :D

Also take a look in this thread :D

[One (M8) General] gr4z:
Yes I managed it in the end - the bootloader was reporting version .10 but the ROM was reporting .5. That's becuase the ROM was burnt with .5

I just tried out the new ARHD 7.0 ROM which was burnt using .10. Now the ROM and the bootloader both report verisons 1.54.401.10. Having said that I am going to return back to Viper as it has more configuration options.
[One (M8) General] maidiopt:
Hello everyone :)

Im new here in XDA but was able to Unlock, Root, install Custom Recovery and install Viper 1.60 on my HTC ONE M8.

2 Weeks later, everything is still working fine. :) LOVING THE COSTUMAZATIONS.

Now i got a Question to Official OTA Updates from HTC.

To be able to recive and install them i need to go back Stock or wait till Viper OTA comes?

Thank you :)
[One (M8) General] clockwork.satan:
I thought it felt a bit smoother/faster after the update too.
[One (M8) General] gr4z:
That depends on whether your S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF then you can flash the firmware.zip file direct - which is what I did. There are links elsewhere in this thread for the file.
[One (M8) General] maidiopt:
Thank you for the fast answer.

No, im still S-On... cant get it to work... But well, guess i let it how it is. :confused:

[One (M8) General] donciclon:
Is it possible/safe to flash .10 via the ext_sdcard method where you rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and drop it in the root dir of your microsd?

EDIT: Decided to be brave and test it myself. Flashed successfully via the MicroSD card. I also removed the recovery.img from the firmware zip so as not to lose TWRP. Did need to re-install elemental kernel though because I forgot to also remove the boot.img, but no big deal.

[MENTION=5810139]BerndM14[/MENTION] (and [MENTION=977332]Ambious[/MENTION], who thanked you): No, I am not trolling you, it looks more like that you (singular) are trolling me. :mad: I just forgot to hit Thanks on those two posts, which I usually do and which I did now, so it appeared that I didn't read them, but I did. They gave me indeed some sensible advice.

I did not ignore that advice, ignoring it would have meant installing the OTA before S-OFFing. I haven't done either thing yet (whether this due to lack of time, lack of a computer, being afraid of S-OFFing or anything else is not relevant) and in the meantime I just asked if somebody had already s-offed after installing the OTA. No, I am not waiting for somebody to do this intentionally and take the risk instead of me, there will be for sure people who buy a new phone, install all the OTAs and only then find about firewater. I am waiting for one of those people to report whether he actually managed to do it or not. What's your problem with that?

What I indeed didn't read was your post until now, for some reason I did not receive the notification that you quoted me (or perhaps I overlooked it), I am sorry for bringing back this old post only now.

Why would I want the update? What tangible benefits are there, as I've seen none mentioned in this thread? If there are no good reasons to take it, how can I get rid of the nag "update ready to install'?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
It doesn't matter if you do or don't install it, so you might as well just install it. Personally, battery life is marginally worse than before with my setup bu I can live with losing a few more % every day (it still lasts 2 days on a single charge with my usage patterns so not fussed)
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Yeah I noticed that my battery life got a bit worse as well, thought it was my imagination at first.

For some reason I also have problem with wakelocks now, google's services, even though the settings are the same as before the update, oddly enough the dialer has wakelocks now, where I never noticed anything of the sorts before :eek:

Like you said though at least with my normal usage the battery does still perform relatively well...
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I normally do a factory reset after an OTA and set up again from scratch, so might try that over the weekend - depends if I can be bothered or not! :D

New to the HTC One M8

Hi guys, sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I have just bought a HTC One M8, its locked to 3 (UK), I can unlocked the device easily but id like to flash it with a sim free generic firmware as when I switch the phone on, the 3 logo appears. Can anyone point me in the right direction of an easy to follow step by step guide?? I have flashed various samsung galaxy phones with official firmware but HTC phones dont quite look as straight forward as Samsungs. Thanks in advance gutys, any help with this will be very much appreciated.
[One (M8) General] JackHarley:
Here's a rough guide as to what you'll need to do, this is not in-depth but it should give you an idea of where to look.

Terminology:

WWE .401 = The plain, unbranded software, i.e. what you want

1. Unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root your device (if not done already)

2. S-Off your device using SunShine (you will need S-Off to flash a WWE RUU)

3. Change your CID to SuperCID by rebooting to bootloader and running

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

just to ensure that everything runs smoothly

3. Download the WWE .401 RUU from the RUU thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

4. Rename the RUU to 0P6BIMG.zip and copy it to your SD card

5. Boot to your bootloader, and select HBOOT

6. It will auto-detect that there is an RUU available, follow the on-screen instructions to flash, all of your data will be wiped except your external SD card
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
dont forget that to change your OS version you also need to change your MID

you'll need S-OFF before changing MID
[One (M8) General] JackHarley:
It generally isn't necessary to change your MID if you are S-Off, the checks are bypassed anyway. Technically most of the time you don't even need to change your CID but it's best to do it to be on the safe side.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Three UK handsets are the same MID as the unbranded handsets sold in the UK, so no need to change ;)
[One (M8) General] TwistyValhalla:
The new Sense Home keeps nagging about allowing it to use precise location and usage statistics. I really don't need to use those features. Bit annoying.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
No need for ALL of step one. Only need custom recovery to make a nandroid of original ROM.

If you're not bothered about making a backup you can start from step 2.

Sunshine will unlock the bootloader, without HTC dev knowing you have. Also no need to root.

I did this on a Vodafone UK branded M8 recently. All other steps are as I did.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
Sunshine requires root on lollisense doesn't it?
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
You may be right, I did it from Kitkat. Worth checking out.

Sorry for any confusion if I'm wrong.
[One (M8) General] JackHarley:
HTC Dev doesn't store information about which devices it provides unlock codes for, if you send your device in under warranty they just check your bootloader to see if you are UNLOCKED/RELOCKED, which would invalidate your warranty if it was an issue you caused.

You can get rid of the RELOCKED bit once you are S-Off, there are tutorials to do it around XDA.

Root is necessary for SunShine, sometimes SunShine can use an exploit to attain temporary root while it performs the S-Off but other times it requires you to have rooted it yourself.

Just unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash SuperSU; guarantees everything will work nicely.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
I had cause to contact HTC about a year ago re. a repair on a HOX+, THEY told me the bootloader had been unlocked after I gave them the handsets IMEI number. I knew it was, because I did it via HTC dev. The point I'm making is, they knew it was unlocked because I did it via HTC dev.
[One (M8) General] forever_lol:
I am sorry but I find it really hard to believe that once you give them your IMEI they can tell you for sure your bootloader has been unlocked. First of all you do not mention your IMEI at any stage of unlocking process...well sure I could somehow believe that this is not an issue for them to find it out. But just because you signed in and got yourself the unlocking token via htcdevs doesn't necessarily mean that you used it, and that´s what they cannot prove for sure.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
I'm only telling "you" what they told me.

Don't shoot the messenger. ;)
[One (M8) General] forever_lol:
Not trying to ;) It´s cool. I believe You were told that.

However I would just never admit I unlocked bootloader... even if I was shown all my activity on the htcdevs ;)

I see people complain, and many remain until further notice to 4.4.4, until we came out 5.1....

I like some things in 5.0, but if there are so many bugs, then we are not worth crossing the lollipop..

I doubt that 5.0 fast and stable working as 4.4.4

You can flash 5.x Sense ROM on your 4.4.4 firmware, everything is fine ;)
