[One (M8) Android Development] :
Running OK here. Not as good as my 36 hours on InsertCoin, but getting around 20 and that's with new ROM honeymoon period. Something is up there I think.

On another topic, can someone test something for me? My notifications were flying in yesterday when I first flashed this, but now they are just not showing up without manual refresh. The only thing I can think of that I've done (and might be bugged) is the Battery Saver feature. I tried it out this morning, and instantly hated the orange bars (why Google?!) and turned it off. Is it possible it has borked something about background data behaviour and I'm stuck in the battery saver state?

Can someone who's notifications are working properly try toggling this for me?
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
That seems pretty exciting... :D
[One (M8) Android Development] Jdom58:
coming from viper and using sense fw and all working pretty nicely, used trwp 2.7.0.2 and did have to mount system in order to get past the htc logo but all is well now and working pretty smoothly. do you all think it's that much better switching to the gpe fw? also how on earth can I remove the darn search widget, looked through all the menus (I think) but have not found an option.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
As far as I know you need to use another launcher to remove that search bar. It is after all how Google get paid! If you want an experience very similar to stock but with the option to remove it try Epic Launcher.

[One (M8) Android Development] jdh10475:
That is what I have been looking forward to.
[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
just tested it out :) i got an sms notification during battery saver and a whatsapp and sms notification after i turned it off, screen was on for the whatsapp notification though as my wifi turns off during sleep but for both the sms notifications screen was off :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Whoareyou:
Yeah. In my car it'll play normal for a little while then it goes crazy it starts popping and playing like at 5x speed its really weird...
[One (M8) Android Development] duskdiyebiri:
I installed this ROM and it's perfectly perfect bu far. I have a bootloader unlocked, rooted and S-ON HTC one m8. Can I flash a sense based ROM also just with a IMG file or do I have to make something extra for installing sense based Skydragon?
[One (M8) Android Development] gr4z:
Is this ROM recommended for a somewhat Noob? I have flash numerous ROMS for M8, Viper, ARHD included but these have all been sense based ROMs. There are various posts on this thread detailing other settings that are needed and a custom kernel. Are these tweaks included in the ROM and what benefit would the new kernel have over stock? I assume like all custom ROMs you can return to stock kernel easily?

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Sure! Its lean, no sense bloat. Extra settings are so far only needed if you have tmobile service. If you have att or other carrier there should be no extra apn settings are anything necessary, just works. The kernel choices when you install the rom are either my kernel, or elementalx kernel. My kernel is very close to stock but optimized as much as possible for performance/responsiveness and battery life. You should see a ton better battery life over the stock kernel while being the snappiest and smoothest you've ever experienced. Plus you can undervolt/underclock, ton of governors and schedulers to choose from.. Elemental x offers overclock support and some new gesture features while not being quite as good on battery life(but better then stock) and slightly less optimized with less governors/schedulers to choose from. If you really wanted just the plain stock kernel I can make a flashable zip for it.
[One (M8) Android Development] gr4z:
So this works for international based M8s - mine is on EE in the UK. Thanks for your help.

I also like some of the tweaks you can get with GravityBox - I assume this works with this ROM? Sorry for the questions...
[One (M8) Android Development] dragonesdenano:
Yes sir:)

[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Have a few questions about this ROM.

1.) What benefits does using this custom version of the GPe ROM have over using the stock GPe ROM?

2.) I have TWRP installed as recovery, I notice GPe ROMs suggested Philz Touch CWM. Do I just flash new recovery with TWRP, or do a fastboot flash NEWRECOVERY.zip?

3.) Is camera as functional and the same quality as Sense camera?

4.) Pretty sure this is compatible with my device, original CID is BS_USA001, but can someone verify?

5.) Thank you for your time :)
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Gravity box works perfectly and is a built in option in aroma you'll see during install ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Well.. Let me reverse this a Lil bit

1) the only benefit to running Stock gpe is ota update from HTC/google. That's it. Custom gpe allows for a ton of other options and features. I have my own ota update, custom kernels, system write enabled, tweaks to make it so much faster/responsive than stock, root, xposed, etc.

2) while I highly recommend philz recovery, twrp will install the ROM just fine. If you did want to flash philz the standard way is 'fastboot flash name-of-recovery. img'. There is also a flashable zip floating around this forum that can do it through twrp.

3) the camera, while a tad sharper then the sense camera, is no where near as functional as the sense one. There is no settings menu to control iso/ev/sat/con/ etc and there is no Zoe support and no way to get either one to work on gpe ever. Would need a third party app to do most of that and idk which one that would be.

4) This ROM is totally compatible with your phone :good:

5) your welcome and thanks for stopping in :)
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Your ROM sounds awesome. I've always wanted to try a a pure Google experience, and your ROM will be my first. I am rather excited about this. The only pitfall is the camera. Are you suggesting that their are 3rd party apps that will be able to get the "most" out of the M8 camera?

Also if I want to go back to a Sense based ROM, I will have to follow that thread about going from GPe to Sense, correct? But there is no special steps needed to go from Sense to GPe?

ETA: I thought I read I can't used Xposed with ART, need to be on Dalvik. If that's the case I take it I have the option to select the Dalvik runtime correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcrompton:
Yes it is Dalvik by default. You are right in that you can't run ART and xposed
[One (M8) Android Development] Clarkkent434:
I am not the developer but I am a huge supporter of Sky Dragon roms and have used both sense and Gpe. I am using the SD GPE ROM right now so this is from my personal experience.

1.Custom GPe is root, bustbox, exposed, custom kernel and other tweaks that stock GPE don't have.

2. For this ROM Philz Touch CWM just installs the ROM better. But you are free to try TWRP but if you have issue installing the rom you have been told in the OP. If you have question on installing check Philz recovery thread M8 original Android section.

3. The camera in GPE ROM is Google Camera found in the play store. Sense camera has a few extra things like Zoe. But quality the GPE photo are just as good as Sense photos.

4.I installed the ROM and never have change my CID. I just had S-Off.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

One last thing is In fact, you should probably not bother with the full conversion from Sense GPE, as it's far more permanent. I never did do it with this ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Not sure I follow what you mean by not making a full conversion...?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
You don't have to convert, just download and flash this ROM like any other ROM, if you wanna go back to sense just flash a sense ROM. If you do the full gpe conversion then its a big process to get back to sense, but you don't have to convert to flash a gpe ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Kinda wanted to do the full conversion...not scared of the process. Will flashing this change the partition table since the ROM is half the size of Sense, so will that free up internal storage?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Yes and yes :)
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Trying to install this with latest Philz and there is no background image in Aroma installer so I can barely read the text...not sure if this is a known bug...?

Also what is the difference between ActiveDisplay and ACDisplay?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Hmm.. that's happened once before on a sense Rom. I will take a look at it.

Active display and ac display are very similar, could try both and uninstall whichever one you don't like. Ac display offers a few more extra options for the way things are displayed but that's really about the only difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Yep, found the issue on why no background in aroma. Will have to reupload the Rom. Will pull the link in the meantime. Thanks for the report as no one had mentioned it before now.
[One (M8) Android Development] clj575:
This rom is pretty good...i like it....the customization is good. I have flashed the other gpe ROMs and had issues with xposed.
[One (M8) Android Development] larod241:
Best rom for me. Amazing battery life. Very smooth. Just a big deal Whith the Dot View cover... It doesn't work.. I was force to run the SD sense .. I wait for an update to solve dot view bug.
[One (M8) Android Development] fabsen:
Thank you for the reply. It's kind of anoying to unlock the phone 1232452345 times a day...

@ HTC Dot View:

So I'm the only one with this problem? Whatever I set up (HTC Dot View App), I never saw a DOT screen. The phone also don't wake up when opening or closing the case. So what's the trick? I flashed the rom allready a few times during my tests, no change. I also switched the cover with a friend of mine, just in case ;)

Small notice on battery life:

I'm a "battery life nazi" and I hate the phones (and their owners) which have to have the phone connected to a power source 24/7 (iphone...). I use my phone for exchange sync (emails/meetings), whatsapp, text and of course talking. let's say 10 text msgs, 40-80 whatsapp msgs, 10 exchange syncs (no push-mail!) and about 20 minutes talking. After a day of that usage I am still on about 70-75%.

My Settings:

4g: On

WiFi: Off / Manually

Bluetooth: Off

NFC: On

Google Sync: On (for contacts)

Other Sync: Off

All bug reports and statistics disabled

Greenify enabled on "chronus" (clock/weather)

I use "battery monitor widget" (3c) to monitor my battery stats. Gsam won't show me good stats (just 0% everywhere and strange symbols) and I need the possibility to check my usage while phone is off (mA/10min or % per minute while off). Just my 2 cents.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Ak OK thanks for trying it. I'll try another fresh start then. Must be something installed not playing nice with Android 5.0. Didn't even restore any data so not sure what I did.
[One (M8) Android Development] jshashwat93:
I downloaded the titanium backup link posted a few pages back to restore my apps. The app seems to be working fine and shows root access. However when i restore the apps, the progress stays at 0%. Any help? I do not have an internet connection fast enough to let google play store download all my apps. Please help.

Edit: Nevermind. All i had to do was go on Preferences and Change Processing Mode to Auto Indirect.

Cool little Easter Egg in Google Chrome....hope you don't mind me sharing OP???

Apologies if you have seen this before
[One (M8) Android Development] chrispy_212:
I have good news! I managed to bypass exchange security with Gmail on Lollipop!

Download the 4.3 patch script from http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/hack-removing-keyguard-security-policy-t1117452

First, adb shell into your device. Then, run these commands

cd /system/app

ls

Then, run the apply-patch script from your computer; cmd for windows, .sh for mac

If you have no other AOSP email app installed (as long as you haven't flashed anything, you should be fine) it'll complain that it can't find the email app apk.

Give it the path for the gmail apk, which you'll know from the commands you ran before. Likely, that'll be "Gmail2/Gmail2.apk", so type that into the command line.

Next, it'll complain that it can't find exchange.apk. Again, look at the output of /system/app, but it's most likely "Exchange3Google/Exchange3Google.apk", so type that in.

It'll say it can't patch gmail, which is fine. Mine also failed to push the patched apk; find it in the work directory of the script on your pc, and push that to /system/app, and backup then delete the original. I'm contemplating making a flashable zip, but I'd figure all these instructions out, it's well worth it for Smart Lock!

Can anyone help me with my issue? At seemingly random times, my screen goes black (but stays on) and nothing fixes it except a reboot. The phone maintains a responsive notification drawer, and the nav bar stays, the buttons respond to presses, but nothing changes. I'm concerned it's an app incompatibility.

I tried using Activity Manager and dumpsys to kill apps off, but honestly I don't really know what I'm doing. It happens very frequently, and any help debugging it would be awesome!
[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
have you checked in your settings to see if the notifications are enabled?

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

updated to the latest build everything seems good thanks developer :) however i am still having that misc battery drain :( its eating about 40 percent of my battery...i have disabled sync and location settings and also greenified apps and also tweaked my cpu but i just cant manage to get it to eff off :D i have about 3 hours screen on time and battery is about 20 percent now
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Thanks [MENTION=2809481]chrispy_212[/MENTION] will get this worked into aroma as an option :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] chrispy_212:
That's fine, I was just really glad to get it working!

Would you mind taking a minute to take a look at what I said about a major issue I'm having?
[One (M8) Android Development] gtluke:
for those of you with the bluetooth problems with the skipping and fast playing and stuff, I was able to fix that today. I had previously wiped and flashed like 5 times and it still kept happening.

So I followed these directions and used this modified firmware from the OP

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4bs5HNkJNR7SXVoUFR4dHhVRGs/view?usp=sharing

Now I'm good.
[One (M8) Android Development] nuts77:
After 3 days of trial ROM has become much too laggy for me to be used as daily driver... Going back to stock 4.4.4 and wait for the official release. Thanks a lot nevertheless for giving me a taste of lollipop!
[One (M8) Android Development] PwnCakes193:
This echoes my sentiments from previous pages of the thread. You don't need the modified firmware, but you need to be GPe before the update. I have had no issues with bluetooth and I use it for around 1.5-2 hours a day.
[One (M8) Android Development] harrishabitat:
firmware version check

How can I check to see what version my firmware is before going to install?
[One (M8) Android Development] jdh10475:
In fastboot do "fastboot getvar all".

I always save the output for future reference so I can see the log of every time I update my firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] harrishabitat:
Ok so mine is 1.58.502.1 which is the older version. And since I am not S-Off I wont be able to install this rom right? My first crack with the M8 so just getting used to this v.s my old DNA
[One (M8) Android Development] jdh10475:
Unless you are s-off then you can update your firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
You have AT&T device .. you should check AT&T forum for info.

Yeah ... 1.58 is too low, you should already updated to 4.4.3 at least.

Anyway.. I don't think this ROM works on AT&T device
[One (M8) Android Development] harrishabitat:
I was getting an error when trying to update my firmware. But I didn't re-lock my bootloader so that might be why.

As for AT&T I saw at the beginning of the post that it worked just fine on AT&T...Maybe my silly quest for 5.0 is a little hasty
[One (M8) Android Development] Skizofren:
wtf, 12 posts and still can't post in the original thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] jdh10475:
To update your firmware (outside of doing an OTA) you need to be S-Off. Once you gain S-Off you can Super CID then you can flash any firmware. If you are interested in S-Off look for shunshine s-off its $25 but well worth it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Skizofren:
Has anyone experienced when charging :

- Can't wake up from sleep with the power button (screen lights on and off repeatedly, trying to wake-up but can't) I need to unplug the phone to actually wake it up

- Screen does the same thing when you receive an SMS

- Wallpaper revert back to stock everytime it goes to sleep

Running on the lastest Sense firmware 3.28.401.9

S-Off.

(I also have the Wi-fi shutting when the phone goes to sleep, didn't try the bluetooth yet)

Everything else is flawless, and runs smooth.

Edit : After further experiment, the double tap wake up does not work either, plugued in or not
[One (M8) Android Development] pankajgavri:
Hey buddy

using the rom for now more than 36 hours, no lags at all for me, just one query, how to take snapshot????
[One (M8) Android Development] Skizofren:
Power and Volume - is working for me
[One (M8) Android Development] gtluke:
probably, but the bluetooth problem for me doesn't happen with all my devices. my headphones work fine, my car on the otherhand did not. so it's possible that your bluetooth device is one that works, or maybe it's the modified firmware. You are probably right but just letting you know.
[One (M8) Android Development] ritzxda:
Firstly, thanks for the ROM. I had used Skydragon previously on another phone and loved it. However, I'm a bit disappointed that after reading the first post, I flashed the ROM and then found that WiFi isn't working for me now. Yes I should have read a bit more (FAQs) but I think for something as fundamentally as important as this, it should be included in the first post. I am S-ON and was on stock 4.4.3. After reading the first post, I saw no reason to believe that I would have any issues. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Anyway, I think a warning to others would be good. Not all of us are developers. However, having flashed hundreds of times in the last few years on more than 10 different phones, I have never come across this. I'm not a developer but do enjoy all the brilliant work that is put in by developers and contributors. Thanks again.

Also, if anyone can help with sorting this issue for me, that would be great. I've been reading the threads for the last hour without success. Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
You should just S-OFF and save yourself a lot of trouble and headaches is the best advice I can give you right now. Other than that you can run your stock RUU (after relocking your boot loader) and update your stock ROM to get the newest firmware. Then redo the bootloader unlocking process again.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
this is coming off as arrogance. clearly the op has everything you need posted all over . if you actually have "flashed" you should know things like updated firmware, or reading
[One (M8) Android Development] ritzxda:
Thanks a lot. I did try to s-off before I flashed this. However, I got a message that said unfortunately can't s-off your device. I did have perm root. I just figured this rom has worked for me in the past with s-on so I'll just go for it. Can I still try s-off now that I'm on Lollipop? I've tried with sunshine but that fails. Where an I get the stock ruu for Australia? Thanks for your help.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

I have seen posts like yours in the past and unfortunately this is why I was reluctant to post requesting assistance. Fortunately I am have been lucky enough in my life so far that I am wealthy enough to have another couple of phones...so this is not urgent. However, it is also not relevant in my opinion. The important thing for me is that I know there are many others like me that are part of this community and my intention (unlike yours) is to help others. Clearly I am also seeking assistance. What help is your post however? It's sad that your kind of attitude exists in this world. Is the expectation that I read every single post on this thread before flashing? I read the OP and several other posts towards the end to read about any possible issues (eg bluetooth). Thanks to the helpful people on here. I feel sorry for people like you though. The world has many different people and people all have different skills and strengths and weaknesses. I made it clear that I am not a developer. Thanks for taking your time to read and respond.
[One (M8) Android Development] 10 Gauge:
Thank you for this ROM!!!

It has been working flawlessly for me on my AT&T M8.

I made the mistake the poster above me did and didnt finish reading all of the FAQ's and flashed s-on and didn't have wifi. After coming back to the thread and doing mlre reading it only took me an additional 5 minutes to go s-off with firewater, flash the modded firmware, and reinstall Skydragon. Has been working perfectly ever since.

Thanks again to the devs for their hard work on this ROM. LOLLIPOP RULES!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] ritzxda:
Thanks. With firewater, at the last step when I enter /data/local/tmp/firewater I get the following message: "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported" Read about it but haven't found a fix.

Found a PIE bypass but now that I've flashed that, when I am trying to run firewater s-off, I get the following "D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

/system/bin/sh: j_init: setpgid failed: Invalid argument

/system/bin/sh: warning: won't have full job control"
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
Sorry forgot this was a grammar forum.

Its not ROM specific asking if the GPR camera is better than the Sense one. One had more features because its all down to the software. Neither is physically better than the other.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
my response was tame bro, half of the posts on here are preventable if you can read what the op has stated. nobody gives a crap how rich you claim to be either. you dont have to be a developer to read. ( and not to judge who i am either)
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
I'm assuming you're wanting to take a screen capture?

If so, try pressing power and volume down simultaneously... (you shouldn't need to press and hold for a long period of time...)

[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION]

I'm a US at&t user and have posted before fully converting to GPE on how well this ROM runs be it your 4.4.4 build or your newest 5.0 build.

Now being fully converted to GPE I'm running the 5.0 build again and you guessed it,it runs just as good if not better being converted.

My flashing experience,

= Flashed 4.0.4.1 choosing all stock selection

=booted and stuck at Google with unlock icon

=boot to hboot/fastboot use

and fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Stock Android L 5.0 GPE Firmware - without stock recovery/boot)

= booted and works like it should
[One (M8) Android Development] ritzxda:
Again. Nothing about claiming to be rich. I'm not. Perhaps you can go back and read again. All i'm saying is that for someone who comes in and reads that first post, they could run into the same issue I've had. Calm down and if you're not going to be helpful, please stop spamming the thread with useless unhelpful posts. Not going to bother replying to you and ruin the thread any further. Thanks anyway and all the best with your life.
