I am getting stuck at the white HTC screen before boot animation. I was on TWRP but now I switched to Philz and the problem is still occurring. I am coming from Paranoid Android. What am I doing wrong?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
APM?

I know I can't ask for too much here, and I do love this damn ROM right now, loving life.

But I only have Power Off as an option. Anyone able to work with something for an advanced power menu? Or using an app that makes life easier, getting into recovery and rebooting and such?

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] patensas:
Quick Reboot from Playstore is your answer

[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] you did a wonderful job on the ROM, been running it from the moment you released it and loving it from the start! Only thing that doesn't work for me is the IR blaster but don't really need it. This actually is the first ROM that kept me away from sense for more than a few hours.

quick boot app play store

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

yea fine lol without a reason i can't save anything to my phone, download fails, screenshots and photos doesn't save and yea. not even a reboot or so can fix it, tried different fixes bla bla. i can access my storage but i can't delete anything with any explorer and i can't edit system -.- fully converted GPE run without a problem just since today or so -.-
[One (M8) Android Development] patensas:
Strange how a ROM can lead to so many different experiences, attached is a screenshot I just created. I can access everything on both the device and my sd card without any issues and using Root Explorer enables me to edit system files.

Oh well I never said it is a wonderful ROM for all, just my luck that it runs flawless on my device with not working IR Blaster being the only downside
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea that is the strange thing. i for example don't have any problems with lags or whatever´, battery is not great but ok and since i have this rom on phone it worked nice, but now i have this problem, external sd is fine just my internal and system partition are read-only and now way to get it RW -.- maybe different commands? tried the normal remount one . hm will try now the system RW apps from play store
[One (M8) Android Development] aj8600:
Read the OP faq, before anyone yells at me. I think I have the wifi bug but I just want to make sure. I can see wifi networks but it won't connect to them, just says "saved". Is that the bug?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Correct.
[One (M8) Android Development] Johny_dragon:
After i installes this rom i got so many lag, any suggestion ?
[One (M8) Android Development] biganth1978:
Anyone having any probs with spotifiy?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Obviously you are new - but you need to read the *OP and/or do some looking through the pages. There are multiple posts that reference your issue as well as posts that provide the lag fix .zip.

Please, do some research and go to the OP for the zip.
[One (M8) Android Development] Magik_Breezy:
No problems, others have reported issues with streaming audio over Bluetooth however
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
The problem is you have that white HTC screen. You shouldn't if you'd gone about things properly
[One (M8) Android Development] annie42:
I might be the very lucky one but I've been running this ROM with lag fix basically as my daily now. Sound works perfectly, wifi also works perfectly. I flashed the ROM from a wipe , coming from Android HD revolution sense with 3xx firmware. Cheers for the awesome dev!
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
How many lags did you get? Jks

Try a completely fresh install and install only apps you really need and flash the lagfix zip after the first boot. For me a fresh install and only download necessary apps did away with most of the lag.
[One (M8) Android Development] Benihipe:
THX for lag FIX
[One (M8) Android Development] skoobee:
Hi all,

Just given this rom a try and it loooks pretty good. One issue I have is when trying to update htc dot view I get an error 504. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks

skooby
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Follow the instructions in the OP. This sounds like a firmware problem. You have to make sure your device is ready to flash the GPE 5.0.

You wouldn't build a house on a sand pit, would you? You have to have the right base.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Use Titanium Backup to remove it, then try re-installing the HTC Service Pack update in the Google Play store - THEN, go get your dotview update back (if the SP doesn't include it already)
[One (M8) Android Development] bonstio:
All good here :) I came from Viper 3.1.0 and the latest firmware. Installed with a wipe. Noticed the lag, then applied lag fix which vastly improves things. I'm using it every day and only have a few issues. Occasional lock ups, nothing terrible. I'll try and grab some logcats next time.

One thing which does vex me is the Viper not working. Yes, I already tried the options mentiond above with the app to enable permissive mode. Viper still thinks it's not installed and install attempt just fails. Without Viper the sound is just terrible! Flat and muffled, standard eq is a PoS. Any clues please, people?

Thanks, OP, for the awesome sauce.
[One (M8) Android Development] n0stalgia:
I didn't even realize a different firmware needed to be flashed since it is not mentioned in the "install process" section of OP, only mentioned in the FAQ.

Now onto another problem, when I try to S-off using Firewater (on PA or CM11), it gives a dialogue saying something like "Firewater isn't going to work on your phone no matter what you do" -- does this basically mean I'm screwed?
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
It means you have to use different option to soff
[One (M8) Android Development] str8killinya:
Yeah I just figured might be nice to have option to flash from OTA since it's aroma anyways. Also I've noticed QuickOffice maps and wallet install no matter if you check the box or not on full zip

SkyDragon GPE v1.5.3 Powered HTC One (M8)
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Ah OK thanks! Was from gapps update I did and they're named differently, will get that fixed and reupload ROM tonight :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Ok, got sense kernel source uploaded to github and posted in sense thread to get added to OP.

Will upload GPE source as soon as I get home.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
This screenshot is using my 0.3.2 kernel, best battery i've seen on this phone yet!

Also, here is 0.3.2 Kernel ;)

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538965

Enjoy!

Will get the kernel added to OP as soon as I get source up tonight ^^ :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] edgie168:
Still reboots recovery upon flashing. :crying:
[One (M8) Android Development] pantmunu:
And Sprint :(
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Yeah not sure about that.. As long as it flashes that's okay.. I really don't recommend using twrp, philz 6.25 or .26 is best IMO. Will continue to see what I can do about it though. I hadn't changed the script at all from last time so that's why its still doing it.
[One (M8) Android Development] farru503:
After encryption issue hit my phone yesterday using aosp ROM I'll stay away from aosp Roms for now ...installed this and you kernel and haven't charged it since !!I did watched a full movie and 2 hours on YouTube, plus Pandora on my way to school, some Facebook, texting, calls, and its still alive , I'm amazed! Really ...because with other ROM , phone would be dead by now with usage I did today ...( greenify , and lowering voltages also helped a lil ;))
[One (M8) Android Development] scataldo721:
Does this work with T-Mobile WiFi calling? if not is it possible for and GPE or AOSP rom to work with wifi calling?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
It does not natively support wifi calling as far as I know, I don't have Tmobile so can't test as it is, there are options in the dialer for internet calling but not sure thats what you want.. I know the files and things that allow it to work on Sense are not compatible or transferrable to GPE or AOSP. Best thing I could say to do is try the rom and test it and let me know.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Ok, kernel and source posted in OP!
[One (M8) Android Development] loonz29:
Just downloaded and installed this kernel with philz 6.25, rebooted with no problems. Been on this rom since I unlocked my phone. Awesome job! Are there any settings you recommend with the latest kernel? Thanks and keep up the awesome job!
[One (M8) Android Development] jongcruz:
Super great ROM.....only downside I notice so far is poor signal reception compared to stock and regular play edition.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcrompton:
I have noticed some things with the M8 since purchasing a bit over a week ago. Compared to the Samsung phones that I had before the Stock Roms seem to have similar resting signal but I have this strange intermittent loss of connection with the M8 .... and in my experience that seemed to happen less with the GPE Roms vs the stock . I'll keep a closer eye on my usage and report back. I'm on a Sense based ROM right now and it already seems that the battery is draining faster than with this GPE ROM - but I've only been using 12 hrs or so thus far
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Thanks and glad you enjoy them! ^^

Ah yes! I should've added that to OP. I recommend for main settings:

Scheduler: FIOPS

Read Ahead: 1024

TCP Congestion Control: Westwood

Governor: On-Demand (although i haven't personally tested the others but on-demand is tweaked over stock to be better)

Most of that should actually already be set between my built in kernel settings and init.d scripts but verify.

Can undervolt too if you want.

I haven't found a need to mess with the low memory killer settings or virtual machine settings yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] jongcruz:
With stick sometimes I lose internet connection but in this case I'm talking about signal strength weakness with this ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Best way to deal with that is change the settings in build prop:

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24

ro.ril.hsupa.category=12

ro.ril.hsxpa=5

Or check your APN settings. Its one of the two or both. As it's GPE It's preset for US users as it's only released in the US. I've tried to accommodate it for worldwide but sometimes things need tweaked a bit even for different carriers. Its not really an issue with the rom, more your carrier. I get fine service here on AT&T.
[One (M8) Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Hey brotha,

Just flashed this from T-Mobile stock and it is beautiful. I also have no data and I flashed this zip.

Can anyone help me out briefly with what it means to manually fix the apn? Thank you.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:

Hope that does it ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] SeanFloyd:
Thank you so much for the quick reply, your ROM Is awesome.

Thanks dude.
[One (M8) Android Development] just_sa1nt:
Guys, question.

I'm currently runnin cm11 with s-on (i think so, atleast) on my htc m8. So, the question is - do i have to perform cm11->stock firmware->lollipop or i can skip phase 2? Just installing like an ordinary 3d party firmware? Any bugs that can occur (like wifi or mobile data aint workin)? Any other issues?

Beg your pardon for possibly repeating the question, it's just hard to navigate thru 300+ pages of questions and answers. Mb you should place it in the begginin (or I missed that aswell):o

Thanx in advance.

Regards,

Andy
[One (M8) Android Development] shortyboy:
this method works
[One (M8) Android Development] optima:
I'm having the same problem with dot view and the service pack error 505. unistalled with titanium but problem is still there.
[One (M8) Android Development] Johny_dragon:
where can i find the op show me please , the first page ? i read ?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
I used TB to removed HTC Weather/HTC Dot View. Then I rebooted. I then went to Google Play Store to update the HTC Service Pack. I rebooted. Then I got the HTC Dot View from Play Store.

These are my steps. If they don't work for you I apologize - but this worked for me.

EDIT: I uninstalled and installed and got your error '505'. I don't use Dot View, but I do see your error. I do not have solution for fix at the moment, other than maybe you can pull the .apk online, rather than Google Play Store, and install that way.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
even if firewater would work it only works on stock rom and stock kernel with root !!!
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
I can truly understand the frustration with the slow speed of the ROM - but it is important to remember that this is not even an unofficial release, let alone an official. It is a LEAK. This ROM is just a port from a leak, man. It is generally slow - but at times can be okay. There is really nothing more to add here about the speed - just have to take it for what it is.
[One (M8) Android Development] ontwerp:
Agree, my phone is even very smooth after the lag fix...
[One (M8) Android Development] n0stalgia:
I see... The issue is that flashing stock or any Sense-based ROM seems to result in the white HTC screen bootloop.

Trying rumrunner now, if that doesn't work, I'll just wait for the official L release I suppose.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
rumrunner won't work and to get the phone with sense booting just flash the sense firmware and flash the stock rom and stock kernel and try firewater but it won't work
[One (M8) Android Development] n0stalgia:
I can't flash the Sense firmware (or any firmware?) with S-off. I've tried flashing the L and 4.4.4 firmwares included in the OP, and it just says 'installation aborted'.
[One (M8) Android Development] pfriederichs:
The lag fix zip worked for me but the lag comes back after several hours of use. Rebooting seems to correct it for a bit. This patch at best seems to be a bandaid. I know this is a leak and I'm not knocking the fantastic work by holy angel I'm just pointing out the lag patch is a temp fix at best. Hopefully ota hits tonight.
[One (M8) Android Development] blabub:
Can you please upload the weather apk? I deleted it...

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Don't say you tried to flash in recovery? Oj dude you should read different guides to how to flash a firmware package! It is done through fast boot and fastboot oem rebootRUU and yes you really should read! S-off is required to flash another firmware..also on which hboot/main version are you?

[One (M8) Android Development] x-ravin:
So it looks like people on this ROM are also having the lag, I'm coming from the Verizon forum, from digitalhigh's version of this ROM and I wanted to post here to get more visibility. Maybe [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] can chime in. Here's my post:

I have a theory on the app bogging some of us are seeing. I believe it has something to do with how the phone is handling memory swapping. See the two pastebins below. What I did was run 'top -d 1 | grep kswap' This shows what kswapd0 is doing every second. Now, what I did was start with 0 open apps, and then started opening all my main apps, switching between them, swiping screens hitting buttons. FB, Chrome, Maps, tumblr, Reddit sync, Accuweather, Inbox, Messenger, etc.

Here's where it gets interesting. Take a look at the difference between the 2 logs. In 5.0 we see that kswap0 very quickly goes from sleeping, to 'D' state, which is usually a state that a proc goes into when it is waiting on disk (or in our case, Flash) access. After a couple of apps are open it NEVER goes back to normal sleep, even when the phone sits idle for a bit (which I did towards the end of the test). It is also taking significantly more CPU utilization as well, but I think our problem is in I/O, not CPU. In 4.4.4 kswapd0 is regularly going back to normal sleep quite quickly after a new app is open, and using far less CPU.

Maybe we need to talk to the kernel guys? If we are indeed swapping too much, that would explain why we get system bog when several apps are open. All of my lag disappears when I kill all the open apps. You can actually see this at the end of the 5.0 log, I close all apps and, what do you know, kswapd0 goes back to normal sleep state.

[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Sounds like you are trying to flash a firmware via recovery? That is NOT how it is done. Research a bit or follow my instruction below.

Have you tried the 0P6BIMG.zip method to flash firmware. It proved to be successful and VERY easy for me and I use it without fail to flash firmware. DL the FW and rename it to the above and place it on ext-SD card. Reboot to HBOOT and it will do the rest.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea so tried to get a screenshot again, it says either too less space or the app or company doesn't allow to save it. What the F"ck?
[One (M8) Android Development] PwnCakes193:
Did you flash the lagfix zip? try running the test again after that.

Welcome to the land of DRM :)
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ravin:
Yes, that was with the lag patch.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
dude it's the whole internalt storage which doesn't have any permissions or better said no other app has permissions for my internal storage either /0 or /legacy. even set the right permission linked also those folders into media_rw but doesn't help...will reflash rom now... -.-
[One (M8) Android Development] PwnCakes193:
Looking at some other stuff now. What 4.4.4 were you running before?

Also go into your etc/init.d folder. If there is both 96tweaks and 96 Skydragontweaks, then delete 96SkydragonTweaks and reboot again!

It's an issue with the app that you have running at the time. Youtube now has the option to disable you from taking screenshots of videos, so maybe that's causing an error. No need to reflash!
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ravin:
Only 96tweaks was there. This was a clean flash. I was running digitalhigh's 4.4.4 GPE for VZW.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
no i just tried in settings and launcher. if i want to remove something from internal storage or create something or paste it doesn't work.. also if i take a picture with the camera i captures it but doesn't save it ... even after reflash it persists...nothing flashed so i don't know what's causing it now -.-
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ravin:
Hey what value you have in the 5.0 ROM for /proc/sys/vm/extra_free_kbytes
[One (M8) Android Development] Johny_dragon:
Now i will wipe data and install the rom again then flash the lag fix .. hope no more lag
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
it will be better to wipe the whole phone ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] aj8600:
Now here's where this mystery deepens... I can currently connect to the router in my room. But not to my wifi on campus. I am very confused, maybe security certificates? I am on WPA at home, and my university has 801.x and an unsecured network. Both will not work, but again at home I'm golden
[One (M8) Android Development] daralph:
Same problem here..

If logcats or anything needed I'm enger to help.

Thanks for the work
[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
I disagree, I think if everything is loaded correctly, things run very well. I ran the Dev version on the N5, talk about problems, that had way more than this. :D
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
The plot does thicken. I wish I had that answer for you but I currently do not. I can say that I hook up well at home and my work wifi. So, I am confused at this point. Hmm - I am sorry I do not have more information for you. I fail you =(

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Disagree with your own opinion? Makes no sense. I stated a simple fact that you must accept/expect hiccups and bugs with a release that is neither official/unofficial. I know what you mean and I agree with you about loading everything properly and doing all steps to ensure successful flash and load - but facts still remain, that end-user experiences are different for everyone on these releases.
[One (M8) Android Development] biganth1978:
Of course I've ballsed up; I tried putting the terminal command in to restore my internal memory but I believe I may of done it wrong as the internal memory is missing but the respective memory is shown as taken. Searched through as much as I can but I can't find it anywhere. Doh
[One (M8) Android Development] Johny_dragon:
still lag i wipe a whole phone :( , i will try it in 2 or 3 hours , if it still lag , i need to comeback to 4.4.4 lol ohhhhhhhhhhhh but i love 5.0 really the design
[One (M8) Android Development] NJGSII:
So the phone has been running real smooth since flashing the lag fix on top of the ROM. However the only issue I experienced today and its happened twice is that the screen becomes non responsive to touch. Turning the screen off via the power button and on again fixes this. Not really a bug report, but I figure I'll pass this along.
[One (M8) Android Development] Johny_dragon:
do you know how to fix the wifi , like when u put the device go to sleep and you have no wifi , i mean like the wifi turns off when you put your device go to sleep
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Question - Important

If I am converted to GPE and on latest GPE FW and build here - what do I need to do to get back to Sense? Learning from my past mistakes - I dont think I can just flash a Sense FW and then go back to Sense ROMS, right? Do I need to use a Sense RUU to revert?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Flash a stock sense firmware, flash twrp and flash a stock ROM boot up do the rest like restore a sense rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
A sense RUU should be fine. there's a thread on showing how to revert back from GPE to Sense
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
So I can go into HBOOT right now, and update FW using the 0PB6IMG.zip method (the 3.29.401.9 FW, renamed), then reflash TWRP, then reflash a SENSE ROM? No conversion back from GPE to Sense using RUU? That is safe?

Just strange to me because I wasn't GPE converted and flashed a GPE FW and I was almost dead. It seems I am doing same, in reverse, and wondering how/why that works?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
RUU is ideal, it's the cleanest conversion you can do, but it's not necessary. You need to flash something that will fix the partitions, then recovery and ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Well we have been flashing ruu .zip through naming it that way lately, you can see that even the conversion and most firmware threads now adapted the process. The revert thread has prob not been updated.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
So by flashing the Sense stock FW, it will fix the partition? I am good then - without RUU process?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I believe so, and worse case you can RUU that'll fix everything.
