That's not too hard.

There are three different methods.

If Ivi only needs system, do as follows:

Method 1

1: connect to PC and have a working ADB.

2: launch a command prompt within ADB directory.

3: type this into the prompt:

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p45 of=/sdcard/system.img

Once you got that on your sdcard, upload it somewhere.

Notice:

To run shell and DD, you need your phone rooted.

Notice 2:

mmcblk0p45 is the address of system on the international M8 - please run adb shell cat /proc/emmc to get a partition list of your phone first, check the block address of your system and replace my line with that address, in case it's not 45 for you. Please share this Partition Read-Out as a text file with us here, i am going to add it to my Partition Listing in the respective thread. Thank you!​

method 2:

Find a recovery for your device and make a backup of system and upload that. Ivica will prefer this dump type!​

method 3:

adb pull /system c:\Systemdump

Notice: run this while booted to recovery, because you cannot pull a live partition! Make sure /system is mounted in recovery!

This method does not create an image of the partition but rather pulls every single file into a folder on your C: Drive called Systemdump. You will need to zip that up and upload the zip.​

Reading this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723803 it appears that you might just be able to flash an international recovery (TWRP preferred) and then you can dump system with it by either Method 2 or Method 3...

Here is a proper CWM recovery for the M8T: http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8936202-1-1.html beware, this site is blocked by my ESET firewall for malware, so you gotta be careful pulling the recovery from there. Use google translate.

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
The developers know an SQL command to disable the background tweak which you can run from adb - if the phone stays booted and only SysUI keeps crashing, it could help solve this. Let me talk to them and see if i can get that for you.

Try this:

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "delete from system where name ='tweaks_statusbar_customanim'"

[One (M8) Android Development] simonmbjornes:
I know you guys don't like this question so don't answer if you don't want to but how long would you estimate the update would take after you get the dump?

The problem right now is that it is a Chinese version without Sense and Play so it is pretty much useless right now.
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
As far as user said, only wifi and camera didint work they flashed our rom, this should be very easy fix, but, if there is alot more differences between phones and and other customization, than it may cause problems..
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yeah alright you can just forget about the recovery method anyway now cuz moderation only now found out about the "illegal" ROM thread they had closed before and now finally removed all links and also the recovery.

Since i spent half a day hunting down stuff you can use i am thoroughly fed up now and beg you to go search for another TWRP source yourself. Sorry something just really got me in a bad mood.

[EDIT]

I contacted the OP of that thread to please supply us with that recovery.

[EDIT 2]

I found one TWRP recovery modified to work on the m8_ul with dual SIM, you can try if it works but i doubt it because i flashed it and it didnt boot and our WWE models are also m8_ul...

I found another recovery which is probably CWM, that is for YOUR phone. The m8_tl, i also flashed that but it also didn't boot. So, try your luck with those recoeries. I guess the TWRP won't work at all for you.

I switched to viper yesterday. I am very impressed so far! Excellent work, guys! :)

feature request: It would be really cool to change the statusbar color for every app individually..

bug: swipe down when screen is off toggles flashlight on (if enabled) but swipe down again does nothing. I think with a second swipe down the flashlight should be toggled off again.

I tryed to install the same CWM version to my M7 but it is not the same.

EDIT: Translated.... Full backup of the stock rom is on the way. When its up can you please confirm that you can use it? I dont want to flash ViperOne before i know that the backup is working and it is what you need.

i find a bug : swap down in lockscreen to play/pause music doesnt work for me
[One (M8) Android Development] Turge:
Reboot to recovery

Perform a nandroid backup of your data partition

Reflash the rom

When prompted, select the option to "Wipe Data"

When prompted, don't select T-Mobile

When done, reboot (DO NOT RESTORE YOUR NANDROID BACKUP)

Profit

Guys, this is the first time I am using Viper.

And the feature I am looking for is to pull down the notification panel by a down swipe gesture on the screen (not from the top, because thats the default behavior any way). but some where around the center of the screen.

This feature comes built in several launchers, but I dont want to move away from good looking sense.

[One (M8) Android Development] XNine:
That's because the HOXL was never really meant to run Sense 5 and above. Viper kind of treated us to it. It was a good phone, but compared to the M8, it's pretty bad (and yes, HOXL was my last phone too)
[One (M8) Android Development] LQQKS:
just amazed at the speed of progress.

Besides getting the ladies, these devs must never sleep.

HOXL was a great phone (I shed a tear when i sold it) but yeah this one is in a class of its own :)

Got my M8's and took care of business tonight. Stellar battery life, and all the venom tweaks I use work. The only issue I came across is my icon theme pack which I add icons to on a regular basis. I am going to work on [MENTION=918378]Basil3[/MENTION]'s Fusion HD Theme so some of the new stock apps automatically map to the proper icon and have Basil upload it when I am done.

Hey man,

Nice job on the ROM, I just flashed it. But I got one question:

I flashed a different kernel, and with flashing your ROM the stock Kernel got flashed. Is it neccesary to keep the stock ROM, or can I flash an alternate Kernel? I want to flash "ElementalX-m8".

Kind regards :)
[One (M8) Android Development] beanbean50:
no problems using a custom kernel :)

The camera is the most impotent. I done it before on at china tablet.
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
Try flash this from recovery.

If not try replacing files form this zip into viper 1.8.0 than re-flash rom.

Also give me logcat of camera FC if it still doesn't work.

And make sure you run your own kernel for that phone!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xwu2gr6hd47up8j/Camera.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] simonmbjornes:
I will try that. Thanks.

My friend is doing this with my help over skype. I only have my M7 to do a reference on at home.

Juse to be sure. The stock kernal is used under the installer unless i select it under flash extras correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
You should NOT use kernel included into ViperOneM8 rom, thats why wifi and camera dont work among other stuff.You need to use your device original kernel.
[One (M8) Android Development] simonmbjornes:
I know. :)

The problem is that i don't see any way under the installer to select not to install it.

The only thing i see is under flash extras where i can select to install your kernal. I know not to do that.

So my question is. Is your supplied kernal installed by default?

Edit: Another question. Is the kernel backuped in the nandroid backup? (Just to be safe. I have not started to install :))
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
You can see kernel as you open zip, "boot.img" , just replace it with your kernel, or restore your own kernel from nandorid backup, you can select from advanced options to only restore boot, and not system and data
[One (M8) Android Development] simonmbjornes:
Thanks. I will try it now.

I prefer the first method so i can avoid more translation.

[One (M8) Android Development] hellobbn:
So how can I get the logcat? Use the terminal?
[One (M8) Android Development] abrasive:
Easiest way is to open up Venom Tweaks and on the About tab tap Bug report, follow the instructions given there and send the zip file to ivicask

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
When I outlined my steps to grab a dump, I was (falsely) assuming you had already gotten a running and official 4.4.3 system.

Just to clear this up: we cannot possibly help you get the old viper to run on that phone, simply because the devs are now working full throttle on the upcoming 4.4.3 viper.

So, if we can do anything at all for your friend's phone, we will need a 4.4.3 dump as soon as that becomes available for you.

Until then, sorry for the misunderstanding and end of story. For now.

liboemcamera.so

Push this lib to your phone, or if you dont know how to push copy this lib from your original rom to viper rom inside /system/lib

Than re-flash rom, if still doesnt work, give me logcat again.

But take note if this doesnt start working after few tries im gonna quit for now, because it may take 30+ such test before we get it working and i dont have time for such porting without device in my hands!

A little more battery life is what I'm looking for, I use my phone pretty heavily and would like more time without buying a case with the extended battery built into it.

Thank you.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Nice request. You reckon Jan can program some more mAh into the battery? Nice try. Really.

How do you think you loose battery power? Ever cared to investigate your power drains?

I'd say, from experience, every ROM on every phone i ever ran had the approximate same battery consumption. So, with each phone, a number of ROM's has had the same average runtime.

Everyone being comfortable with and accustomed to android phones learns at some point that battery life depends on the user and his/her actions MUCH more than on the actual phone.

The manufacturer issues an averaged, best-condition consumption statement on his website. It usually is hard to achieve for some, about right for others and then again, other people find it an underestimation.

Then all three sorts of people come to XDA to find custom ROM's and the developers try to gain attraction and users by making utopic claims about battery life improvements. The users who suffer the most will run to the highest claims. No one really educates about how battery drain happens.

Realistically speaking, there is very little an Android ROM developer can do for battery life. A little more influence comes from the kernel dev and from the developer of BetterBatteryStats, who has an amazing knowledge about battery draining stuff.

I suggest you go there and get an idea what is involved in draining your battery.
[One (M8) Android Development] moeduss:
Thank you for your reply, glad you liked my request, first I was not asking the dev to change anything in the Rom,the Rom is awesome, I was asking for a kernel suggestion, I know what uses my battery power it is me, I use this phone heavily and thought a good kernel with some under voLting it could possibly gain me a little more battery life. I closely watch what drains my battery, I know about better battery stats, I did see people raving about elemental x kernel and the life they are getting out of the battery, but that does not work with Verizon at this time. Thank you again for your reply, but next time you feel like getting angry just check the question one more time before you post a response.
