HTC One M8 Android M update

Hello everyone !

I was wondering if someone gets this information :

HTC One M8 Will Skip 5.1.1 Lollipop To Get Android M Directly

"However, Mo Versi, vice president for product management at HTC, has confirmed through a tweet that HTC One M8 will receive Android M upgrade, Phone Arena reported. In March, all the major U.S. carriers (except AT&T) released the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. AT&T rolled out the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update."

"HTC has not revealed any plans for rolling out the Android 5.1 or the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for the HTC One M8 handsets in the U.S. In the U.K., the company has not announced anything on rolling out Android 5.1 Lollipop for HTC One M8. Hence, rumors are claiming that the Android M will be directly brought to the device across the globe, Venture Capital Post reported."

ibtimes.com/htc-one-m8-will-skip-511-lollipop-get-android-m-directly-2031381

So it would explain why the "august HTC One M8 update" was quite "quiet".

IF it is confirmed, on which base will the futures ViperOneM8 versions be based ? M9 port or HTC Android M update ?

A big thanks for your amazing work !

That's just rumours, sir.

I heard M8 Android 5.1 update was delayed to early autumn (Llabtoofer on Twitter).

Just worth as much...

Hello I have a problem with the BT module of the Viper, I mount the latest version the 4.5.1, I did a full wipe and everything you need, but unfortunately when I connect the terminal to the BT of my car, I go to FC. Can someone please help me?
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Please search or read the last few pages, this has been discussed for many pages since 4.5.x release. Some people have got theirs working others haven't, try the fixes posted. Good luck
[One (M8) Android Development] mailm4n:
Thank you guys,

I had to reboot the phone completely and now the horizontal quick launch is on .

Before I tried the same but without full reboot .

Thanks again .
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
No. It's been discussed over and over and over and over.

Now I'm not gonna answer that anymore. The answer is already available on almost every third page reading backwards.

[EDIT]

BT is faulty because this is a port from the M9, which has different Bluetooth, so we had to take older M8 BT files, which FC partly when you're trying to use the MAP protocol in a car head unit. We will not fix that.
[One (M8) Android Development] harry655:
Don't work for me either. Tried few times early on in v4.5 & dirty flash don't fix so clean flashed & didn't bother again. Some tweaks can be hit & miss, like the recents clear all button from hub worked the 1st time but after messing around with others it wouldn't work after trying on its own. Oh well. Clean flashed & stayed with default setup.
[One (M8) Android Development] freskeeeh:
[MENTION=4624131]Kratos90[/MENTION] i can confirm this. It makes the system.ui crash. Flashed the stock one , still crashing. Any way to make it work without a full wipe? Somebody said he had the same problem and a dirty flash didn't resolve it.
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
I re-flashed the R.U.U

then made wipes

and then I installed the 4.5.1

and for now I have no automatic brightness problem

but I can not test Gmail in Roaming being returned to France
[One (M8) Android Development] gaurika:
Please don't mind me, but I think it's the first time that BT issue is properly explained. And also dismissed by devs.

There were a lot of us waiting for a closure of this one.

At least now we know were we stand!

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] goldani:
Hi guys,

hope you can help me. I updated to ViperOne and did a full nandroid backup with the "online nandroid backup" app. At this point i had twrp 2.8.6 installed.

I cannot restore with twrp cause it´s not compatible (that´s what i found out).

So i flashed cwm 6.0.4.8 and tried to restore my backup. During the restore process i get this exception: Error while restoring /data!

I tried to wipe data get free space on internal storage but the same exception is shown afterwards.

What else can i do to restore? pls help...
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I've explained that myself at least once, rather two times and others have as well.
[One (M8) Android Development] dasvolk:
I have a brand new Dodge Viper that has Uconnect - you're telling me BT audio will never work with the car again? Why bother pushing an update if it breaks such a heavily used feature permanently?
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
It's not technically an update. It's a piece of candy to shorten the wait until a native M8 base becomes available. We've always said don't flash a port if it's breaking stuff you need.

It's not exactly a company product under paid warranty terms. It's for the flashaholics.

[EDIT]

Besides, we're still waiting for people to actually contribute to a development thread/project. Its not very nice to constantly face an attitude of disappointed self-entitlement and complaints about non-working stuff.

Team Venom ROM's has lately pursued an approach of "never break a stock feature", which has lead to "never offer ported ROM's" - now we had two guys offering a port and it looked fairly promising, so we reconsidered and went for it. Just to do those a favor who love flashing and trying out new stuff.

The backlash is so considerable that it again discourages us from doing so. We thought we had made it quite clear that this is not a ROM made with the usual standards.

Instead of dropping complaints, it would be rather helpful to remember that this is a development and not a support thread. All Venom threads are. The support that is provided here mostly on a user-to-user base (Brilliant! Thanks!) and from Jan a lot, is pure courtesy. It need not be. It could be like my own threads with no support and OT allowed there.

If anyone feels like helping out, you could very well download 4.3.0 and 4.5.1 and start mixing BT related files and try and find a working combination. Or find a Sense 7 Port that has it working and diff this port agains that. Or whatever.

We had done that for days and days and simply do not have the time to keep digging. We have jobs too. And families. Some of us.
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Because people were *****ing about the lack of updates on the M8.

Since the 4.3.0 release was no new update from HTC, so for us actually no reason to release an update. Sure some people would say: "Why is the M9 getting updates weekly and the M8 hasnt an update yet for months?"

The thing is, that the active development always happens on the flagships. I gifted my M8 to someone else, so there's no way to code properly on the M8 anymore.

Also it's a question of time. All the work is done in our freetime...unpaid, while trying to keep our real lifes intact.

Okay, so others might think: "Why not just porting the M9 stuff to the M8"?

Well easier said than it is. the M9 is Android 5.1 with Sense 7, where the official M8 base is still Sense 6 with Androd 5.0.1. Would mean that a lot of stuff done on the m9 is in no way compatible on the m8, what would mean we would need to recode stuff to work on an older base....totally none sense.

So to stop the crying we thought we release an M9 Port...that was the quickest and cleanest solution.

But as you see the crying didn't stop.

If you want a stable rom, return to Sense 6, Androd 5..0.1, the latest offical M8 base...means ViperOneM8 4.3.0, and wait for the official Sense 7 5.1 base from HTC.
[One (M8) Android Development] ReM0815:
First of all thanks to all devs and themers for this awesome rom. The one and only I ever want ;) But Have found a little issue. Nothing to speak of. I have activate the weather in statusbar header but it will not refresh. Set refresh timer to one hour. Weather in lockscreen works perfect. I didn't use GPS. Anybody has the same?
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Sorry for dropping out from nowhere, but this post is not for the end of page, it might go unnoticed... Let me repost that for you. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Thermaltake868:
5.1 Sense 7 will be pushed this month to M8 HTC said, so stop crying people, as soon as OTA comes to our phones you will soon see new release od Viper ROM, I don't understand people that complain all the time, show some respect to the devs and some love and donate few dollars, euros... for beer or two ;)

If you don't like this last port return to previous stable version if you don't like that version then go back to stock and use it as it is, even with all that bloatware stuff phone is super crazy fast and stable.
[One (M8) Android Development] ZEDEK:
Peace...

Eager to flash version 4.5.1 I didnt realize that for TMobile I had to selct 'default'. Now I am unable to get back into recovery to re-flash ROM. Power hold volume does nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Already tried "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader" ?

Else, nothing much to say - the ROM has an APM where you can boot to recovery too. You can use flashify app to boot to recovery or even reflash a different recovery from within android. You can use the above adb commands probably even in terminal emulator app to reboot...

Other than that, the button combination "Power + VolumeUp" works perfectly fine so far for most people.
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
That combo has to work
[One (M8) Android Development] NickTheBaptist:
MIUI Battery Bar on Lockscreen

Is there a way to get my MIUI battery bar to display on my lock screen? Currently I have all other battery indicators hidden, but when I lock my phone, the battery bar no longer displays, which means I can't see my battery level at a glance without unlocking my M8.

I looked through the options for the battery, and for the lock screen in venom tweaks, and couldn't really find anything. I also couldn't find anything on this thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] ZEDEK:
Peace...

Thanks Sneakyghost and j to the 4n....I was able to somehow boot into recovery (but it want by normal means--I think I got into bootloader..but for some reason POWER & VOLUME UP didnt work). I reflashed ROM and everything is cool now.

Greatly appreciated....
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Mine shows on lockscreen. If I remember right [MENTION=918378]Basil3[/MENTION] figured out, why it didn't show for him.

Not sure what it was, security lock screen, HTC theme, bad eyesight...
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Peace bro
[One (M8) Android Development] NickTheBaptist:
I'm using a pattern lock screen, and I'm using the built in HTC Sense lock screen. I'll try switching to a non-security lock screen, and the AOSP lock screen, and see if that makes a difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
+ put on your glasses.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Restore a backup, if you have one, if not then probably not, I'll have it looked into, I know it's worked for at least some people but maybe there's a new version of something. Thanks for the reports.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I don't think that is currently possible. It's not available on the M9 either. You could submit a ticket on venomroms.com tagged as feature request. However, since the development happens on the M9, that is where that would appear first. No idea if it could then later be applied to the upcoming M8 ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] Basil3:
You remember wrong. Bad memory when you start to get old is a killer, isn't it? :D
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:

[One (M8) Android Development] lgluna20:
Thanks For you early answer

One question more :confused:

According with your answer I can flash the room with TRWP but do I need to flash boot previously during the room installation process or it’s not necessary.

Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks again in advance for your answer and support :)
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
No thats a thing you did on the One X..that its not required anymore.
[One (M8) Android Development] goldani:
Can anyone help?

[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Stay away from those apps, only thing I can tell you to help.

I see in one of those screenshots that you can choose the Recovery type...maybe you choosed the wrong one.

We can't really give support on a 3rd party app.

Please use TRWP to backup in the future.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Hello, I just did it all over again and it still works perfectly, the reason you all had/are having trouble seems to be:

a. because you flashed a theme in addition to the semi-transparent NEQS, it's now included in the viperdark theme so you don't need to do that

b. flashed clear all recent mods first and then NEQS

In any case both the semi-transparent NEQS and clear all recent mods etc. can work together, if you want to use both please flash the NEQS first, reboot system, then return to recovery and flash the clear all recent mods, I wouldn't do it in the same recovery session, a few extra seconds shouldn't hurt.

Also, dirty flashing should fix the system.ui crash as replacing the system.ui with stock one. So feel free to try again, this time making sure to flash the semi-transparent NEQS before clear all recents and other mods and see how that works for you. Feel free to make a backup beforehand in case it breaks system.ui or something but I've just tested and it doesn't.

All credits to the theming wizard.

Good luck :).

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I'm trying to protect your interests, b!tch, don't stab me in the back for that! You're the one constantly whinging about needing time for wife and baby and not fixing anything.

Now you just committed yourself to fixing that. Its not working on the M9 by the way. Fix that first.

[EDIT]

Impressive Sandals-shot by the way. You did that all for me? Really? So sweet!

[EDIT]

I just took the liberty to check our M9 beta testing sheet again - battery options are clearly marked as buggy there already on M9 2.3.1 and I bet that has something to do with it, although not explicitly mentioned. So. Fix it for everyone now :D
[One (M8) Android Development] sweetnsour:
Like some of the users that have posted previously, I had the issue where autobrightness was way too dark for some reason. I did enable the status bar brightness once and if I remember correctly, I disabled it after sliding down to the lowest setting.

This fixes that issue for me. Thanks for posting this!
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
There nothing to fix, it works already :D

I had copied it also. Changed permissions, rebooted and all is good with nav bar and notifications. Thanks Turge.
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
...thats absolutely correct the overlapping when you use the venom navbar.
[One (M8) Android Development] rohorubo:
Is it possible to use the venom navbar but have it appearing constantly without overlaying the dock icons?

I would like to have them constantly onscreen but transparent. If I deselect "auto hide" they appear always but overlaying the dock icons.
[One (M8) Android Development] tiho5:
Delete please :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Turge:
Looks like you're using the Venom Navbar.. switch to the stock one if you would rather not have it overlap. The intention of the Venom Navbar is to be auto-hidden.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sensor1:

Yeah right :laugh: we've still seen it. Funny :D
[One (M8) Android Development] an0ther:
Awesome job on the venom navbar!!
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
You can adjust the Venom navbar in Tweaks, so remove Gravity Box.

Venom navbar is an overlay, designed by Jan after people like me wouldn't leave him alone for a solution that doesn't cause apps to resize when toggling. If you want the navbar to always be visible, you will need to use stock or a 3rd party app in order to not lose access to the bottom of the screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] Dougi:
ok, i get it now.. thanks for lighting this up ..

[MENTION=1225716]Turge[/MENTION], do you think you can fix this , can't turn on and off mobile network from VEQS, from HEQS it'spossible , but i really love using VEQS.

thanks :
[One (M8) Android Development] Stephen:
I get the same. Use HEQS for now, until issue is sorted.
[One (M8) Android Development] Dougi:

[One (M8) Android Development] Turge:
I will fix it soon.. been so focused on the NEQS stuff that I had to delay fixing this one.
[One (M8) Android Development] Stephen:
Let me know how you get on!
[One (M8) Android Development] tiho5:
Not sure about the rest, but I'm sure you did :D Sneaky devil :D

Still haven't had the time to update to the last ROM version (having a very busy day) and shouldn't have tried to joke when I didn't know what they were talking about (and while you were around here) :)
[One (M8) Android Development] VampireHeart:
I have noticed a bug if flash module to close all recent app with multitasking and the semitrasparent module, same like you.

So I restored nandroid of clean backup of viper, after flashed lighter semitrasparent module and work, but I like more a little dark and so I flashed the second option without module for close all app and work fine. :thumbup:
[One (M8) Android Development] dasvolk:
I'm willing to try stuff out for sure, but I rely on this ROM because of your never break something policy. I hate Verizon's stock software and like getting feature updates, however I have neither the time nor the inclination to have something I rely on for work go haywire on me, which is why I sought a professional grade ROM (that's you guys.)

I have contributed to Venom and Moonshine financially over the years because of the good work. Features I like are stuff like the ones that disable Exchange security policies and the like, as I said, it's my work phone. But it's also my primary audio device for my car both music and telephone, so having that broken is a serious problem for me.

I would suggest if you are so inclined, have a release that's labelled "HERE'S ONE FOR YOU L33T SKR1P7 K1DD13Z!!!!" for all the 14 year olds that want to have the very latest just because. But leave the mainline releases you do alone.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Simple. Roll back to 4.3.0.
[One (M8) Android Development] dafunk60:
I also depend upon my phone. I thought it was pretty clear that this was a port and there may be bugs from reading what the op posted. Even with regular releases I usually wait a week & read the thread before flashing. I also make a nandroid backup and flash when I can be without a working phone for a few hours. Perhaps this process would alleviate some of your frustration in the future.
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
First of all, I just want to echo my thanks to the team for such a great ROM.

Second, and next to the camera, this is my only problem with the M8... There doesn't seem to be one perfect ROM. Stock is probably the most stable, but you don't want all the bloat. Lightest is probably CM or some other AOSP-like, but then the speakers sound blown. GPE fixes that, but then you're prone to lose GPS on a given reboot. The de-bloated and feature loaded Sense 6 ROMs are pretty good, but they feel out of date. The Sense 7 ports have various issues. Pick your poison.

I would not use my personal phone for work, I'd get a used iPhone 5S and call it a day. Depends on your job though. Mine doesn't require me to have a phone, so I just use my M8 for everything. I just wouldn't consider flashing anything on a work phone. If you need your main phone to be super reliable, I'd just get an iPhone 6, and then get a tablet for tinkering with. I considered this, got a Nexus 7, decided tablets weren't for me, stuck with Android on my phone. But I don't want to flash a lot. I want a daily driver. I don't need Bluetooth, so ViperOne is perfect for me. I used 4.3.0 for 2 months, and I plan to run 4.5.1 exclusively until the team releases their next update. I got off to a rocky start with 4.5.x, but I fixed the problem, and now it's all good.

For those who want both 4.5.1 and Bluetooth usage, have you considered MultiROM? You can dual boot ViperOne and something else. Maybe the something else is a ROM you've turned into a sort of head unit for your car. Takes ~1 minute to boot into the other ROM. Do that when you get in your car, then boot back into ViperOne when you get out. The primary ROM's kernel needs to support something called kexec-hardboot. I don't know if ViperOne's does. I know Buckmarble's Elite kernel supports it, and he makes one for Sense, but I'm not sure if it's compatible. I'm almost certain it's compatible with CleanROM, which is basically Sense 6 de-bloated and optimized for speed, but the developer left. Adrenaline 1.3 has a similar goal, and the developer is still around. Pick one for your primary, use ViperOne as your secondary if it doesn't support kexec-hardboot, and rock on. (Primary and Secondary does not matter, for the most part. Both will perform equally well. There are a few caveats to MultiROM, but for the most part, it does what it says on the tin.)

But all in all, thanks to Team Venom for such a great ROM. Since I got my camera issue sorted, I've been completely happy with this ROM, and I haven't been able to say that in a while. It's a good feeling and I wish it for everyone.
