Use WidgetLocker, but you'll lose the ability to swipe up to unlock the device. You'll go to the lock screen instead. WidgetLocker is a paid app. Though it only does four targets, not 8.

You're asking for a customized AOSP lock screen in a Sense ROM, though. So a paid app, this one in particular, is what you need.

You can get the AOSP lock screen by deleting the HTC one, and Venom Tweaks allows this — just make sure you uninstall updates to HTC's lock screen.

Carbon is just a fork of SlimROM. LiquidSmooth is another, better fork (matter of opinion) and available for the M8, so you could just flash LiquidSmooth. But then you wouldn't be using ViperOne, so you would want to find the thread for LiquidSmooth. I was running it last week, but I didn't check the lock screen stuff. I like swipe up to unlock. I'm on GPE (stock rooted, not DH) right now, but I'm coming back to ViperOne tonight. 4.3 because I had some lag issues with 4.5.1. 4.3 was perfect and I don't need Sense 7. Nothing against it or those who do, but for me, it ain't worth it.
[One (M8) Android Development] ned4spd8874:
Stupid question, but does "ART Compatible" mean that it's also Dalvik compatible? Meaning will I have a choice as to which one it uses?
[One (M8) Android Development] DozKiwi:
Oh man, what a bummer for you guys, and us! That totally sucks. I especially hate losing that 4x5 homescreen layout setting. So i rolled back HTC Sense Home last night, and of course I lost all of my other home screen layout settings too. Recreated them, but then foolishly did not consider that overnight it would automatically upgrade itself again. Hence my 2 questions:

1. How can I stop the HTC Sense Home upgrade (without turning off auto update altogether)?

2. Is there any other way to get the 4x5 homescreen layout back?
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
No, Dalvik is dead in Android L (lollipop), what you're looking at was an old image edited from the days of Kit Kat when dalvik was default and ART was an option.

You can simply turn off auto update for "sense home" and "HTC lockscreen" in the play store, those two always break tweaks, the other HTC apps are normally fine (not always though). Just press the menu button when in the app you want to turn off auto update for in the play store and you'll see the option, it will only pertain to that particular app. Rolling back/uninstalling the update should allow the tweaks to work again, just try resetting the tweaks you had set and restart your device. You can also back up tweaks next time you set them up, so you can restore them if you ever lose them.
[One (M8) Android Development] ned4spd8874:
Have you looked into Nova Launcher?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Okay, thanks. Without going in to detail I've been having a helluva time finding a stable ROM (I've posted about this here). Someone recently pointed out that they are having similar issues after going to an ART based build. I've used ViperOne in the past and was thinking if I can get a Dalvik version of the ROM, I'd be willing to go back to that to see if it helps my issues.

Yes, uninstall the update and turn off auto update for sense home, has been discussed in the thread today.

I'll do that thanks. And it's just like me to be late for the party as usual.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Just reboot and try again. It worked for me eventually.

I put that updated EasyAccessService.apk into the ROM. Next release will have it included. On the M8 we can update that from PS no problem because we have the Motion Launch Tweaks removed.

Once Jan has more time again he might be modding the M9 version of Motion Launch again and then we might be able to provide you with a tweaked version. Until then, the stock service will be good to go for everyone.

No idea what that 505 Error is, really.
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
I went back to 4.3.0, on Verizon, and MD5 matched and everything, and I'm getting an, "Unfortunately, Personalize has stopped" error when trying to go into Personalize in Settings. I'm up to date on the HTC Service Pack. As far as I know, this wasn't updated via the Play Store and I have not updated Sense Home. I've tried clearing cache/data for Personalize in Settings → App manager. It even does it in Safe Mode. I'm only bothered because it worked before.

Might I have been too heavy handed in removing things in the Aroma installer? I did not opt to remove Sense Home via the installer, but I removed a ton of stuff. Nothing sticks out in memory as related to settings, though.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Clean installed 4.3.0? You should when going back.
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
Most definitely. I pretty much always clean flash unless explicitly told to flash dirty.

I actually did not go directly back. I flashed an AOSP and a GPE after ViperOne 4.5.1. RUU'd, bootloader factory reset, RUU'd again before flashing 4.3.0 clean over the stock Lollipop ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Hmmm. But personalize isn't even modified in this ROM. Only explanation I'd think of would be old data left over on the internal or external sdcard.

Maybe manually delete the Android data folders in TWRP, both on internal and external chip, then flash again? Long shot I know but really don't have a better idea right now.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Sense Home Update From Playstore

For those who updated and found their tweaks broke after the update, go to settings and uninstall the update. Then if you have a Titanium backup, restore Sense Home from your last backup. The version should be 7.12.563037 (DESKTOP) You will get back all of your original settings, and all of your app setups that were on any of your screens. You will only have to re-apply any widgets that were on any of your screens.

If you don't have a Titanium backup, your SOL and will have to manually set up all of your screens again.

[One (M8) Android Development] DozKiwi:
Just for interest's sake: What real benefit is the upgrade meant to provide to us on Venom? I can't see much....
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
For some reason, it seems to have sorted itself. All that changed was that some inconsequential apps were updated. I mean, after I flashed, I went to APK Mirror and downloaded everything it wanted to update, since I didn't have Wi-Fi. (The Personalize problem happened before this.) I actually held off on updating the HTC apps because I know sometimes Team Venom tweaks them and puts them in the Hub, but I went into the Hub and didn't find any HTC apps, so I went ahead and installed them, too. Had some issues with the Google App too, even after updating Play Services, that just worked themselves out.

I was pretty much going to dirty flash 4.3.0 again and be more conservative with what I remove, but with everything working now, I'm just gonna leave it alone. I've had bad luck with ROMs that aren't Sense-based or based on the latest official firmware. And 4.3.0 nails that sweet spot of stability and features. Really, there are only a couple things 4.5.1 has that I take advantage of that aren't in 4.3.0, and I can live without them.
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
New issue: Seems like I have to pick between LTE and 3G/calling. Can't seem to get both. Global is the correct setting, right?

I know the NV partition can get corrupted and can cause issues with LTE, but I just RUU'd Friday before flashing this, and I haven't flashed anything else. Also, I can get on LTE just fine, but if I try to make a call, it will try, and then say, "The call has been lost." I might have to dirty flash 4.3.0 after all.

Edit: Seems to have sorted itself out. I'm blaming Verizon at this point. Before I touched anything, I could only get 3G in Greenville, and I get 4G/LTE all over here all the time. So I think they're having issues with the LTE. There might be an issue with the handoff to 3G in the ROM, but I wouldn't know as I'm almost always in an LTE area, between work and home. And by "wouldn't know," I mean I wouldn't know if the handoff issue is in the ROM or my phone itself as I very, very seldom see 3G on my status bar.

Downloaded zip again and checked MD5 - all matched. Moved to phone. fired up TWRP and INSTALL, selected the 4.5.1 zip......now TWRP stuck in "Flashing file 1 of 1 ViperOneM8_4.5.1.zip"

The update is solely for M9, and play store thinks our device is M9. That is why it is not getting installed. To be added, if you have searched about it, you could have learned this a little earlier.

Might be a bit obvious but did u try holding power button and volume up for 10-15 seconds to reboot? If you haven't, try that and as soon as phone switched off hold volume down button to get into bootloader.

Also you should update twrp to 2.8.7.0 just in case.

If you don't use tweaks from the Homescreen tab in venom tweaks, or the colors tab, then you won't notice an ill effect from installing the Sense Home update. You can use the update no problem. It just doesn't have Jan's tweaked code in it, so the controls in the tweaks app do nothing.

Ok so this is strange, I flashed the update from 1.3.1 (downloaded via update software in phone settings) to 1.4.0. Phone rebooted and Aroma applied the update.

I have a 50% scale window of Aroma in the middle of the screen which is slightly transparent and I can see TWRP in the background but no buttons are responding and I have tried holding the power button and nothing is working. screen is staying lit as well.

[One (M8) Android Development] deeznuts:
Maybe a bad flash? I'm sure if you held down vol up and power the phone would reboot and can get back into recovery if needed? Try this to reboot and see what happens. Worst case just download the full 1.4 rom, put on your phone, then flash via twrp or restore a backup.

Just the navbar.
[One (M8) Android Development] RocStar629:

So I've been running ViperOneM8 2.5.0 since I got my phone last year and it's finally started to chug. I was going to just do a clean install to see if that would solve my issues but I thought there might be a more stable and improved version that I should be upgrading to. Is there a definitive version of this ROM with hardly any issues that I should be upgrading to from 2.5.0? If so, is the prerequisite of upgrading the RUU as "simple" as flashing stock recovery, flashing the RUU, then flashing TWRP and the ROM or is there another way?

Hello,

I am in a dire need for advise. A week ago I was using my phone and next thing I picked it up, the screen would not turn on. So I rebooted it and got stuck on the boot screen. I tried clearing the cache and dalvik cache - nothing changed. Fixing perms via recovery fixed the booting issue but Play and Gmail was broken. I did a clean flash of 4.3.0 (since I have sprint I can't go to 4.5). Immediately afterwards I installed the HK switcher from the Venom Hub. No other mods/skins were installed. Today I encountered the same issue. Screen is in boot loop (with HTC logo) and I don't know what is causing this and don't know if I have to exchange phones. Has this happened to anyone before? Thanks. PS I have not updated my sig pics in quite some time so they are not to be used for solving this problem. If you need any software specs, please let me know.

Update: Tried to fix perms did not work this time. I forgot to mention the recovery partition behaves abnormally when this event happens too. When the teawin banner comes up, sometimes the screen flickers, sometimes it will just be stuck at the teamwin banner and sometimes it will actually work and go into recovery.

You don't have to flash the stock recovery to run the RUU, but if you are S-On you will need to relock your bootloader first.

In fastboot:

Then run the RUU, unlock your bootloader again through htcdev.com, flash TWRP, then flash the ROM.

I made a nandroid consisting of my data and system. Tried to flash viperone 4.3 and it froze on the venom overlay that appears prior to Aroma's first window. Wiped system and data. Was able to clean install viper 4.3.0 (as a second attempt). Venom went past the boot screen and spent > 10 minutes on the end of boot animation. Rebooted and went straight from the animation to the Android is upgrading window. I immediately went back into recovery, restored my nandroid and went past the boot screen. Something funky is going on as the system and data partitions don't appear to be the sources of this problem. I'll get back to you with my recovery version but I think its 2.5.5.1. I may be mistaken.

Update: gapps constantly closes, multiple apps are FCing. Recovery version is 2.8.5.0.
