Found this on their website. Do you know what this means?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
Yeah I read that, It probably means that there might be some corrupted code in sources,

but I compiled it after a while of the actual release time, that means they've probably fixed the problem,

because I tested my build, and it was as functional as usual.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] najar360:
does slimrom have hover function?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] akshaybz:
Slim has their own version called as Heads-Up.

It's included in latest build, pretty epic it is.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] daddycruel:
Is it possible to install this ROM for us unfortunates with bootloader which can't be unlocked?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
Nope, you can't because you need to have a custom kernel installed, which isn't possible in case of locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] thedunnyman:
Sorry for ignorance, but is full wipe required if I'm updating based on nightlies from one week ago?

What is the minimum required for an update flash?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] akshaybz:
Full wipe is not required for a weekly update.

Minimum is just wipe cache and dalvik and flash, you'll be good to go.

Won't even have to flash gapps if you already have them.

But for stable updates, Slim recommends atleast a manual wipe of system followed by ROM and Gapps flash.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ctap001:
Would it be possible to add custom bootup/shutdown sounds? Pls respond.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
you can search on Google for that, it isn't ROM related, and personally I'm not quite sure how to do it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ctap001:
Google told me it's kernel related, and that CM 11-based ROMs can't do this (while CM 7 could)? Can you confirm?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
I can't confirm because as I said I don't know for sure how to do it, but I saw a tut about adding a bootup sound,

and it was by editing a text file inside the bootanimation it self, that is why I replied with that.

hmmm, so if google is telling you it is kernel related, can you tell me how??
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ctap001:
Can't, sorry. Currently only have the time to go as far as that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mf01mf01:
ART environment used by someone else? You can turn it safe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
I use it all the time, it is really safe to switch to it, it'll just take some time at first boot that's all.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mf01mf01:

Thanks again for your work, i really missed Slim on my Z1C.

Are you considering becoming a maintainer on their team?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
Well I'm maintaining a lot of ROMs so far, but I'll see if I can do it and they accept.:cool:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
I've just installed the 7/28 build and don't have root access for some reason. I came from CM 11, wiped data, cache, Dalvik, and formatted system. I then installed the rom and normal gapps. What's going on?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] essi:
go to settings - developer options - disable root and enable it again, or just enable apps and adb

but it is almost as stable as other releases :D

Remember that problem I had (and still having with the last 6.x release for SlimKat) with CarbonRom where voltage/governor/even memory read-ahead settings aren't working? I still have that problem. Tried using Pimp My Z1 and System Tuner. Any progress on this?

I was able to successfully get the settings to stick with the kernel that came with this ROM with Trickstermod as well as a -25 voltage reduction.

Sorry for my bad english. Hello, I have a Huawei G510 with a big problem, that is, when light device Huawei logo appears but then does not display anything, although he enters the rom does not show anything, I tried to get into recovery but there is no display anything after Huawei logo. What can I do? pretty please help me I'm sad.:(

Hi

I have a 16 gb galaxy s3 from metro pcs and flashed it to cynogenmod 11 snapshot m3, but did not liked it so i decided to go back to stock unfortunatley my back ups were in my internal phone's memory and were deleted. So i factory reset the phone and was stuck on cynogenmod for a while, till i found a stock rom fkr metro pcs galaxy s3 and i started the process. I went in recovery mode with CMW and wipe the phone complete e.g(factory reset, dalvik cache, system cache,). I then tied to to go into recovery mode and the phone shows up with a black screen saying "update went wrong connect phone to kies". I tried kies and nothimg cause it keeps on saying my serial number is wrong, so i called samsung and asked for my serial number.They asked for my IMEI i gave it to them and they said that was my serial number, point is Kies didnt work.So i tried Odin, tried to flash a metro pcs stock from shabbypenguin.com and i get and error saying NAND write operation failed. Idont know what to do i took the phone to a repair guy and even he couldnt fix it. I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!

NOTE: The phone won't turn on and wont boot into recovery mode either,ONLY thing that works is download mode.

IS MY PHONE PERMANTELY BRICKED??????

NOTE:Thats not a picture of my phone but the screen that shows up when i try to turn on the phone. Thanks in advance to everyone

When you see the Kindle Fire splash screen, hold the rocker volume up. Hold it for three seconds after you see the TWRP splash screen and release and wait.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bxrider117:
I really love my LG G2. The M8 is very intriguing. I know that having the latest phone is a futile case because the phones are always changing and evolving. The M8 does offer the same double tap to unlock the screen. I am sure it has better speakers. It also looks as if the battery life on the M8 is better than the M7.

If anyone has switched from the G2, I would like your feedback.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steelersmb:
Yes, I posted this in another thread:

I came from the LG G2 and here are my observations so far:

1. I hated the camera on the G2. It was so slow and hard to get good pictures, especially of moving objects. Although the camera resolution on the M8 is a lot smaller, it's so much better and fine for my needs. If I want to print out pictures, I am going to use my DSLR anyhow.

2. I hate that the M8 only has one color for notifications and I can't use Lightflow to control them. That was something I did like on the G2.

3. The screen is a bit smaller on the M8.

4. Battery life so far has been okay. Haven't had it long enough to test thought. Batter life on the G2 was the best of any phone so far.

5. Build construction is by far the best of any phone on the M8 but everyone already knows that.

6. The addition of the SD card is awesome. I was already low on space on the G2 because of music and audio books. This will eliminate that with my 64GB SD card.

7. The speakers are awesome on the M8 but how many people listen to music through the built-in speakers.

Overall, I am liking the phone. Do I think it's a huge improvement over the G2...probably not and there are some things I like better on the G2. Maybe once we have full root on the M8 it will be better but for me, it's not a huge upgrade. I will probably keep it though and sell my G2.

I am sure there are other things that I will find that I like or dislike in the comparison but I probably will keep it. Just got it yesterday so I will play with it some more.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] polaric:
I did. I love everything about the M8, its lightning fast while the G2 felt slow sometimes. Also the phone itself is built way better. Only disadvantage I see is it has a smaller battery, but I really haven't noticed the difference.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] starflyr:
I don't understand how u guys describe the g2 as having a "slow camera" and "the g2 is slow sometimes"

the g2 camera is quite fast.. unless your settings weren't conducive for speed...and in general the g2s is is smooth and responsive, slow sometimes? not for me... ever!

I think.. bottom line.. people aren't satisfied unless they have the latest.... probably because we are trying to full that gaping home in our souls...;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Deleted member 5019868:
Another former G2'er here. The headphone audio quality was the deciding factor for me to keep the M8. It's the best of any android phone I've used.

So far, battery, while definitely worse, isn't a drastic downgrade by any means.

Also the lightning speed of the M8's camera is a nice change.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
I did. steelersmb shares a lot of opinions as i do. i did like the G2 had the unlocked bootloader so AOSP android was a quick install and the M8 is stuck with Sense UI for now. I like the build of the M8 better but they are very similar phones. Gotta see what really matters to you and read the reviews on how they compare
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheBiles:
The build quality puts the shiny plastic G2 to shame. Also, yay for MicroSD.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] joeliotta:
I liked the G2 alot but I really always loved the gallery on this phone. The quick pictures and simplicity of the camera is bar none the best software. The G2 was a little buggy as well. Many times texts would scroll to the top for no reason and if an app like hangouts was open when I locked the screen the notification would disappear, which always drove me nuts. The only thing I hate with this phone is the lack of screen real estate with the stupid HTC bar on the bottom. I already rooted and shrunk the Nav bar so it doesn't drive me as crazy. If only I could have a blinkfeed page (not shortcut) with Nova Launcher or the ability to have a Scrollable dock and swipe gestures on HTC launcher I would be set for life. I also miss the wireless charging but I just ordered this aftermarket Wireless charger, we will see how that works. It was worth the change though. Every time I switch to HTC I always feel like I have a true premium phone. There's nothing like the premium build of this phone. And I have had every premium phone (with the exception of Moto X, if you'll call it that) as soon as they come out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] daboyal006:
I had the g2 for almost two weeks before I returned it for the m8. The g2 was decent but the UI just reminded me so much of touch wiz I couldn't get with it, m8 has lightly flat sense UI and micro sd slot and the speaker on the g2 was so low compared to boom sound and build quality.. the camera quality was the best part of the g2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steelersmb:
One more positive on the G2 over the M8 was the ability for wireless charging. I used this all the time on my G2 and now I can't with the M8. I saw a post about something you can get to stick on the back of the phone but not the same.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Or your fast... Isn't everyone else's fast.

But I tried the G2 after my Sgs3... Felt like another galaxy phone. I was leaving Samsung because I wanted something fresh.

Sent from my HTCM8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I switched from the g2 and overall to me there is no comparison I love how smooth the m8 is.. only thing I like about the g2 was the fact that it had full root and I had aosp on it other than that the m8 is way better
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Deleted member 5019868:
Sixth Sense might be the first manufacturer skin I leave on. I mean, hopefully a custom rom will remove all of the VZW bloat and the infuriating ongoing wifi notification. But Sense Seis is pretty harmless compared to... Optimus UI :eek:

Also, tried slow motion video for the first time last night. It's too cool.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] barenjager:
Loved just about everything about the G2 outside of the build quality; I began to have random hardware glitches until a couple of drops destroyed the whole screen. Never needed a quick shutter for the kinds of pictures I took, so I'm going to miss the great camera on the G2. Battery life will be shorter on the M8 but it still has plenty of juice; farthest I've gone is about 30 hours of light usage. I also loved the G2's screen being just about the only thing on the entire face of the phone, but in hindsight I would have sacrificed a little more bezel to protect the screen more.

If you're already loving the G2 and aren't having problems with it, there isn't much reason to switch to the M8, especially before being able to fully compare it to the S5/G3/Z2.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sincerity:
I liked the gallery, wireless charging and battery about the G2...

UI speed, design and camera about the M8. shame if M8 had included bigger battery and wireless charging I would be 100% sold. now tetering on fence about returning..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
I came from a Moto X & LG G2 & don't get me wrong but I prefer the G2 more for its bigger battery, bigger led notification & bigger screen. The HTC One M8 is one of my newest HTC phones since the Rezound and HTC came along way but that extra tallness just makes it feel like a candy bar phone. I am most likely going to return the HTC One & get my Moto X back (wife has the G2) or get another G2 who knows.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sincerity:
yea forgot to mention the height....its outrageously tall for the screensize. literally sticks out the top of the pocket on my apcs
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steelersmb:
I'm in the same boat but I usually end up switching phones every year any how. I keep them in good shape and sell them on eBay and usually get about half of what I pay for them. I am on the fence right now as well. It's a tough decision. I don't know why these companies aren't listening to what people want. I guess they take baby steps each year to make more money instead of implementing the best from other phones. I mean how hard would it have been to make some of these changes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tommypacker:
Hey do any of you who have switched to the m8 still have your G2 that you're willing to donate? Right now I'm maintaining an Index Thread, and a Help Thread for the G2, but I don't actually have the device. It'd be much easier to help out and such with the device.

Thanks :)

I doubt I will....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bomber889:
I switched from the g2. I liked the size of the g2 better but the build quality on the HTC is definitely worth it. Battery life is a bit worse I'd say but nothing too much to be bothered about. The g2 camera was mediocre to me, I like HTC better, pixel count doesn't really matter to me. Can't wait til we get s-off on this beast
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rushless:
