As always, generalization also doesn't help.

Just to be quite clear:

1.) Almost every question has been asked and answered before. I'd estimate a good 95%.

1.) It is good XDA spirit to use the fantastic search tool because it actually works and provides answers. The problem is finding out the search term. If the issue in question was discussed under a different name than what you put it under, it can appear like there was no answer before. So one needs to be creative with the search terms.

3.) Too stupid and too lazy do exist, but way less than you'd think. It's a habit quite typical to internet communities to call others stupid and lazy if they don't know what you know, but ultimately you'll have to recognise that people actually aren't. For that reason I try to, besides being a complete a-hole, also provide information when I slap people. E.g. "search you lazy f..." combined with a link to the search result in order to help and show search actually works.

The interesting bit is, why do people think everyone else is lazy and stupid? My theory is because everything you want to know is accessible on the internet. Virtually everything but the last remaining secrets of humanity. But many many people haven't yet learned/noticed/understood that for accessing that knowledge, search skills are key.

So, saying someone is stupid and lazy and needs to search is an impolite, grumpy (maybe German) way of addressing this key problem.

I'd recommend you check my post history. The last time I actually asked a question was years ago because when I need to know something I know how to access resources.

XDA is way more interesting when people stop asking stupid and lazy questions and begin to search. Because then posts will be fewer but have more useful content. I try to enforce that in my firmware threads. They're very short because they're aggregated and I'm having support questions removed.

So, before you generally accuse those who recommend search of being lazy and or stupid, [MENTION=5039205]mefistoreyon[/MENTION], look at what I said and ask yourself if it's not better to actually help people figure out search ("use search!" would be a little too short, right) so they can stand on their own feet. It'll decrease post count on the long run if you help people figure out how to get information.

Sorry for the off-topic tl;dr - it just came up.

Considered you've been on beta team you should know exactly that that type of post was the worst way to do it.

1.) As beta, try to dig down to find the reason. Remember?

2.) As beta, if you can't figure the reason, provide a log.

A.) As regular user, provide an FC log - Like always.

B.) Use search [emoji23]

Thanks :)

Yes I know I should post logcat also :) but 4.3.0 Rom is old now and I belived that devs usually say that update to latest etc. And I was thinking maybe someone had same issue and just tell it ...why disturb devs? They have lots of work anyway ;)

BTW most important thing is that I solved my problem right after I post that post... Problem was in Android System Webview app.. just uninstalled it and all is good now.. :)

Have nice day :D
[One (M8) Android Development] krihoum:
ok, this is an update after i dirty flashed the ROM: i selected no wipe and went thru the steps after reading carefully

I also deleted the cache and DALVIK cache in TWRP before flashing, but now i am having this issue: it's optimising the apps one after one (takes around 20min or more) and then when it's finishes it says starting software or something like that, then i get the VIPER ONE flash screen and it loops again. This is the 3rd time it's optimising the apps, should i stop this and enter recovery again and dirty flash? or should i leave it more?

thanks for your help
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yeah I dunno maybe try a clean flash and make sure you delete all old crap first. Especially also the "Android" folder on external disk. Run a RUU maybe to clean out the device. I'm quite busy today and won't do XDA anymore. Maybe someone else can help out if search didn't return any useful answers.
[One (M8) Android Development] krihoum:
yes full wipe is what i want to avoid but i have to if no other suggestions

thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] krihoum:
i think this is getting more serious , even after flashing with FULL WIPE i am getting to another problem: this time i get 179 apps to optimitise and i manage to setup google account, venom tweaks etc.. then suddenly i get this message before i get to home screen:

"unfortuntely setting has stopped"

then the phone keeps rebooting and i cant see anything except the splash screen VIPER ONE

I am very surprised because after upgrading my firmware thats exactly what i did and i had a working phone, with one small difference which is i didn't check the HTC sense home (i.e i wanted it to be removed this time). Is the HTC sense home a must and cannot be removed then?

i am really confused and would appreciate if someone can help me in restoring my phone to a working order

thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] krihoum:
i finally managed to install fresh rom but i had to select HTC SENSE HOME , so therefore i am more confused because why give the user the option to remove it if it's not letting the user to use their phone?

I am now disabling auto updates for HTC lockscreen and HTC SENSE. I hope this is the right thing to do because i want to use venom tweaks and i am being told that HTC SENSE was auto updated in playstore?

I will now start to put back my apps (TITANIUM) and then use the tweaks again

Hope i get more replies on why this happened and maybe SENSE is not supposed to be removed at all during the installation process

thanks

Hello Guys!

I have searched but havent find what iam looking for.

I got a small but annoying problem. I can answer call but not end calls with the earphones button. (HTC original wired earphones)

I can play/pause and change track.

When you try to end calls you hear some kind of error beep!

All worked fine on viperone 4.3.0

Does someone know if u can remap earphones button or if there is a fix.

Sadly i dont have any other earphones to check with.

Thanks in advance

Again - they do know how to handle storage and in Marshmallow, no additional apps are required unless you're trying to use your phone like you're running Gingerbread (not being sarcastic, some people seem to still like doing that).

If you have too many apps to fit in your 25 GB of storage, that's not Android's fault, it's a limitation of the basic device with respect to your needs.

Moving apps to the SD card was a root mod in Froyo, adopted in Gingerbread, immediately deprecated after that because of the reasons already given, it could *never* be more than a partial solution given the old architecture (unless rooted).

Despite this, HTC and others retained the feature even though it's incomplete, inadequate for a great many people, and deprecated for years, requiring add-on root apps to mitigate problems.

None of which is Android's fault.

For those interested and unfamiliar -

This SD card option to "Format as internal" is the standard Android way to access the Marshmallow feature called adoptable storage (aka flex storage).

If the 25 GB allocated to the user for apps and private data on the HTC M8 isn’t enough for you, use a fast SD card with that new feature and choose for yourself how much additional storage you want over and above the 25 GB allotment.

The adoptable storage has built-in all of the features of the best of the original root mods and is available to all Marshmallow users whose manufacturers support this new, standard Android feature - no root required, no additional apps required.

Hope that helps those still curious about the issue and the feature that solves it. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] iridium72:
Something seriously weird/wrong with this marshmallow port.

1) Every few days my phone will randomly shut off with 15-25% battery and when I reboot it won't auto connect to wifi, aka not connecting to the 4 networks I have saved, it instead tells me wifi networks are available

2) On reboot my mobile data is turned off; I have to manually go into settings and turn it back on

3) Randomly acts like Sense home has been updated/installed (which it hasn't) and wipes all venom tweaks settings, i.e. no bypass lock screen on wake, no quick unlock, turns auto brightness on, changes to default app drawer background/grid size, changes all status bar settings to default, turns on home screen app text etc etc

4) Randomly on reboot will "optimize" all 176 apps

5) Randomly tells me my viperone m8 donation key isn't "legit" and won't let me access venom tweaks

6) Randomly drops or refuses to make calls/send texts until I reboot at which point the above issues pop up at random

At this point I may just downgrade to 4.5.1 until the M10 is released for Verizon then upgrade, I can't afford to deal with a glitchy nonfunctional phone when it's my sole business line.

Can someone explain the Extended Navbar setting? Doesn't seem to do anything.
[One (M8) Android Development] snebojsa:
I have a problem with held the phone awake by "*backup* android system".

I choose NOT to install HTC backup in aroma.

Better battery stats say that I have 0.0% deep sleep because of *backup*.

That happens every time when unplug the phone from charger, then must restart to avoid not to enter deep sleep. After restart is ok until next charge.

Any solution for this? I have clean install, run ruu than install Viper 5.0.2 with wipe from aroma.
[One (M8) Android Development] Leon:
I don't think it's from the port. It's from Marshmallow. Also I read ur on Verizon so.. On Verizon, Sprint I think makes more problems than normal (GSM). I had a lot of problems fist time using Marshmallow.

help request: navbar hide options&mapping/statusbar pull up shake

hi, 3 items:

1. trying to get the 'press to hide' option working with the navbar (stock or venom) & it isnt working. could be user error but just wanted to confirm this option was working? clean flashed (sd card wipe/twrp 3.0.2 factory reset/aroma full wipe) 5.0.2 (tmo chosen) on tmo mm firmware (via ruu). i got all the other hide options to work except this one. checked rom md5 and did multiple clean flashes followed with dirty flashes, etc. and cannot get the navbar to close on any navbar key press. extended navbar is not checked to be used. super su= 2.65. only thing i can think is to install an older rom where this option works and work my way back up to 5.0.2?

2. also, i mapped 'statusbar pulldown' to 'recent' key (as well as 'back' key) & noticed that when im in the actual recent apps screen and press for the statusbar to come down, it doesnt show on top of the recent apps screen. it actually comes down on the home screen and only when i exit out of the recent apps screen, i see the statusbar pulled down on top of the homescreen. is this normal operation? i mapped 'power&reboot dialog' and it shows on top of the recent apps screen.

3. lastly, there used to be an option to shake phone to pull up statusbar. this isnt in 5.0.2 correct?

thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Android Development] m1s3rys1gn4l:
best rom i used :) thanks Team Venom, great work / / /
[One (M8) Android Development] TenMaKo:
1 and 3 are probably linked. It doesn't seem to be neither rom specific nor carrier specific. Some of us have that same exact problem. Phone shutdown at ~25% and on reboot some parameters (app or sys) have been lost. I talked about this on this thread some times ago with another guy and our best guess was that this is a battery issue and not a software issue. But I don't think anyone has reported having changed his battery so I can't tell u for sure that it would solve that problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] joelegs:
Tried for VZN HTC One M8 - no luck

I wiped the internal storage, all the cache, data, very clean. Install seemed to go smooth, and I did not install Super SU as TWRP wanted. But phone would never boot to new ROM. Kept going back to boot screen. Bummer. Thanks for the work, though. I had used a prior Viper ROM about a year ago with success. :(
[One (M8) Android Development] Black-FR:
Sounds as you didn't use the latest TWRP version.

And probably your firmware also isn't updated.

I would suggest, update your firmware and twrp too and then flash the ROM again, with full wipe.
[One (M8) Android Development] snebojsa:
I solved this.

System/backup&reset/backup my data set to off. Now phone goes to deep sleep.

I didn't use this feature anyway.
[One (M8) Android Development] joelegs:
Thanks for that tip. I will update TWRP. I probably am not using the latest version. I'm pretty sure my firmware is up to date, but I'll check on that as well and try again.

Lock screen/contents hidden

Hey Guys:

I have gone through every single setting to SHOW my notifications (primarily Messages, Phone etc.) but they are STILL showing as "Contents Hidden" on my Lock Screen. I went to Settings>Sound & Notification>When Device is Locked and selected "Show all notification content", then I have gone into each individual App and selected "Treat as Priority" and "Allow Peeking" as well. The contents are STILL hidden on the Lock Screen.

This issue is driving me NUTS as I want to be able to see Notifications on the Lock Screen.

Anyone know how to bypass the exchange policies? Before on the venomhub there use to be an addon or some software that allows me to bypass policies. If I use the default HTC sense one it wants to push a lot of policies on my phone like encrypting my internal storage which I hate because I can't do TWRP backups.

Anyone else notice a significant drop in battery life from Viper 4.6 to 5.0? I can't figure out what's causing it, but I can hardly get a day out of my phone anymore.

Same usage patterns. I've actually started using greenify and battery saver mode now to try to make up some ground.

I have noticed that my LTE reception isn't as good as it was on Lollipop. Any way to go back to that radio only? When I try to flash what I have in TWRP (5.0.1 radio or 4.4.4 radio), I get the following error..

apps shutting down

I swear I've searched through the 1000s of pages for help first, but I can't seem to find anything real close to my problem. I did a clean flash of 5.0.2 on my VZ M8 and started from scratch with installing everything else from the app store. My problem is I've noticed some apps seem to shut down or go into a deep sleep if the screen is off for a while. I first noticed my alarm clock app not going off unless I happen to already be up and had recently messed with my phone. I thought it might be the battery optimization but when I try to set that up, it resets as soon as I back out of it. I have also noticed my weather and calendar widgets reboot when first turning the screen on after a while and the sound mod (Dragon Fi) has to be restarted just about every time, too. Other than the alarm, none of these are a huge hassle. My concern, though, is that this is also happening to my messaging and email apps. Is anyone else experiencing these problems or know how to resolve it? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
