I wish that was everyone's attitude. Okay it's not perfect, maybe root doesn't work, but every time I see a comment like "my xposed mods don't work, HALP", I want to slap people. I have the same thoughts, I'd like this to be blue, I like the network activity mod on xposed, but guess what, you can't have everything and you can't have everything NOW and everything perfectly customized for you.

People that need everything to work should stay on 4.4.4 for now and stay there even after the OTA because you can bet the ranch there will be some things that won't work right away.

People that want to go back to Sense should know how to redo the partitions or how to RUU back to Sense. If you are not comfortable doing that, google information until you are or wait.

And mostly, if you feel like you won't be able to live with yourself and start /wristing for attention if xposed doesn't work of if you can't have your custom Viper notification or god forbid you have to re-install an app manually, then do us all a favor and stay with the ROM you have now.

Thank you SkyDragon team for putting this together, for including the firmware and the recovery, for the clear instructions that people should read, and for giving us a taste of that sweet lollypop ahead of time!

I can't get passed the HTC logo as well, any ideas ?

Flashed using philz recovery 6.25

Not a GPe Converted phone, Sense phone. Was on the 4.4.4 rom before.

Flash the Android L Firmware in OP then flash the ROM. It will boot up without issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] phewBAR:
Downloading. Like a kid at Christmas. Thanks SD team
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Try reading the instructions.
[One (M8) Android Development] tkoreaper:
Its right on the first post!!
[One (M8) Android Development] nags92:
Thanks, even though it was in the OP wasn't clear whether i needed to or not.

Install aborted when i do though : /
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Again, read the instructions on how to flash firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] Blanko6:
I able to see my SDcard but not System , I trying running the terminal emulator a few pages back but no luck.

Any ideas .....

Thanks for the help !:(
[One (M8) Android Development] nags92:
No need to be and asshole, the fact it says "converted to GPE" it doesn't actually say fully converted to GPe or if your running a GPe rom so its not clear.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
The word "converted" is pretty clear to me, if you run a GPE Rom on Sense firmware you didn't convert anything, you are running a different software.

I'm not an asshole, I do get frustrated when someone gives us something for free, puts clear instructions on how to install, links to everything we need, and still people are so lazy all they see are the download links and then they post about things already documented. Then when it does work, it's comments about how titanium doesn't work, how root isn't easy to install, why when I stream music on bluetooth in my car while updating 12 apps and backing up my SMS the music jitters a bit, unacceptable, unsubscribing.

All we should see in this thread are "Thank you", "Here's a donation", and "I tested this and it doesn't work yet so i'll live with it or go back to 4.4.4"

[One (M8) Android Development] darcus:
From Sense to L

I have 3.28.401.9 firmware and the latest TWRP version installed.

I didn't want to install Philz CWM on this because I had a backup made of Sense just in case L didn't boot.

I installed the ROM in the usual method. (full wipe then install)

First time it gave an error 7.

Then I went back into TWRP and reflashed it - and it worked.

Took ages to boot on first go - but then after that, fantastic!

It runs really well (so far)

The icing on the cake would be to have the HTC Camera app running on this (will never happen!) and we have the perfect o/s.

Well done Skydragon team!
[One (M8) Android Development] tkoreaper:
For the sake of argument, the instructions never said you NEEDED the firmware if you were on 4.4.4 Sense... It says that it works without the GPe firmware. I myself am using it coming from sense and I didnt change firmware at all. Maybe you didnt read the instructions clearly.
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
At least we still have UFocus!
[One (M8) Android Development] iTchill:
Firmware is aborting on instalation , seen that before ?
[One (M8) Android Development] fguerra024:
Ahh just woke up and my phone was unresponsive. I could see the charged light was on but the screen wouldn't wake. Had to volume up-power to restart the phone. Wonder if my alarm would have went off... Might need to come back to this ROM lol...

Also getting lots of lag. Apps sometimes take a couple seconds to go away if I press the home or back button. And no, it's not just Google Now Launcher. I'm using nova now and its the same thing. Maybe a little less lag, but still noticeable. I also changed the animations to 0.5 and that helped a bit but still getting noticeably more lag than the old KitKat gpe ROMs.

Wonder why some people are not having these issues. Or maybe you just haven't played around with the phone enough to see the issues happen before posting... Can't wait until the official lollipop drops. This is definitely a nice teaser. For now, back to KitKat I go.

(Im a GPe converted device with the firmware flashed in the second post)
[One (M8) Android Development] Blanko6:
I tried to download a sense ROM to go back to sense and download says "no sdcard" or taking pictures says "no sdcard" what should I do here please ?

Someone at least tell me to go read the OP or something .
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Well there was a link for the ROM and a link for the firmware, I put 2 and 2 together. I'm not sure who would think it's a good idea to run a leaked GPE ROM with Sense firmware but maybe that's just me.
[One (M8) Android Development] nags92:
Yes that i know, i generally never ask questions because yes i can read the instructions and never have issues usually.

I'm sure I'll fix it without problems :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Try googling that error, I think you'll see thousands or posts with the answer to your question just on XDA
[One (M8) Android Development] johio360:
I searched and couldn't find it .....my whole file system went loopy when I flashed this....now all my files are in different places......I was able to move my nandroid file back to the spot its supposed to be in to restore back to sense but my file system is still loopy.....if this was explained I apologize I couldn't find it......other than that Rom is awesome.....does anyone know how to fix the file system?

Customized Ringtones for Individual Contacts

Has anyone figured out how to do customized ringtones for individual contacts for this ROM (or maybe Android 5.0 in general) ? I can't seem to find that option ......
[One (M8) Android Development] altimax98:
Wow, so much hate on this thread.

Thanks SkyDragon for this rom. I jumped to an iPhone 6 from the M8 a while back and I am thinking about picking up a Nexus 6 next week and wanted to try Lollipop before doing it to see if I would enjoy it. I swapped phones with my wife, Unlocked her bootloader and flashed the rom from Philz recovery as recommended. Took about 20 minutes start to finish. T-Mobile 4.4.4 firmware and I have little to no issues. A few spots of lag here and there, but thats expected on a leaked modified rom on the wrong firmware.

Thanks again!

[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
I have zero issues running since yesterday, people seem to think when the ota comes out it will be a lot different and all this issues they have will be gone. I doubt it because this is an official GPE 5.0 so what would be different?
[One (M8) Android Development] NJGSII:
Its definitely based off an early version of Lollipop GPE, but it needs just a little more work. If you think they'll release something that's unfinished like this, you're crazy.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
They updated it in the playstore now.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

What's unfinished I don't understand LRX21M is what we are on and LRX21T is what was released I don't think we will see much difference besides a few tweaks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Whafrodamus:
Initially I had MAJOR issues with the installation. After flashing the firmware, my system and data partitions weren't mountable. Ended up flashing the GPE firmware and that fixed it (though my internal storage was wiped, but I'm not an idiot and had all my **** backed up to my external SD). Hopefully the install will go smoother this time around :)

How to fix wifi.... Connection drops when screen goes off
[One (M8) Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
Did it get stuck at the HTC screen for a long time during first boot?

Thinking about doing Philz but would rather not unless I have to and need to be more patient. :P
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I can't see it be that different, there will likely be bug fixes but nothing major, everything works great or my phone except for occasional lag spikes (and yes I rebooted).
[One (M8) Android Development] NJGSII:
It's pretty choppy, animations and apps sometimes take a long time to load. The 21 M build had that misc usage bug which when I had this on my M8 was present. Other than everything else was pretty much there feature wise except IR blaster being broken. Im on my Nexus 5 right now which is running the latest official release, and it had none of those issues.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Fix will be out when they drop the official release next week surely.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Trust turn off animations in developer option and reboot you will see the lag goes away nothing is going to be done about the google now launcher lag until they update it, but the system won't lag at all well doesn't for me.

Wifi dropping at screen off -

Have you verified that "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always" is set under Advanced Wi-Fi settings?
[One (M8) Android Development] TheAnarchist1:
For those complaining about choppy animations. Outside of messing with the kernel settings provided by [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION]. I also recommend going into developer settings, and setting each of the animation settings to 1.5.

It seems that the normal timing for the animations might be a bit too fast, thus making them all abrupt and choppy feeling. Setting the timer up a bit seems to fix much of the issue though!

I hope this helps!
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
It's amazing, no issues so far
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:

Member's, I checked to see if "Search" is working, and yes it is.....

As with so many other threads in this Forum, Member's find the need to post, post and post. Vice reading and searching, and BTW if you find your question was not addressed, read and you will find it was already asked by some one else at least 5X and answered. And for others, do not post your same question more than once, again if it was not addressed, read & search & read again. Also for those that see the same posts over and over, just report it, vice posting against it, thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
thank you so much for this dev...believe me when i say this you saved hours of time for me which was spent on scrolling through forums reading about L....the rom is running great for me i have only flashed about 4 apps because waiting for the final version to drop but for an early build this is amazing.....the only things i see wrong are that sometimes animations are a bit choppy and i have a misc battery drain but i am still managing to get a day worth of battery life so fine with me :)

[One (M8) Android Development] ubercool786:

[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
I went through the same thing with my moto 360. Try uninstalling Android Wear, rebooting your phone, then reset your watch back to scratch, reinstall Android Wear, then reconnect the bluetooth. I had to reset everything to get my bluetooth to connect to my moto 360, but I got it working.

Then once when I got about 50 feet from my phone, I did notice it took about 4 minutes to reconnect, so bluetooth is slower on this leaked version. I can live with it, I am just happy to be playing with Android L again !

[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
Do a nandroid, try to install as your main and see if that works. If it does, then go back and try as your secondary / multi rom. Isolate if it's a multi rom issue.

Are you using his recommended recovery ?
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
Check out the 2nd post... there's apparently some additional work to do if you want to have WIFI work as expected. (additional stuff to flash it looks like)

I soft bricked my phone yesterday and ended up RUUing it to the GPE firmware yesterday... and I need my phone to work consistently, so I"m going to watch, but not play with this leak of 5... looks VERY cool though. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
I experienced the exact same issue and did the exact same thing you did to restore my previous ROM. I'm not sure if this was a Lollipop issue or Philz Touch recovery issue (first time I ever used it)?? I reverted back to TWRP and may try the ROM again using TWRP.

I really loved everything about this ROM, except the file issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] sosa:

[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Reboot helps but after some time it comes back. You can tweak the animations in the developer options, that's supposed to help but I like them too much to do that.

Please read the thread dude. It is not moving 'that' quickly. The answer is out there. Why do I say that? I have typed it up myself no less than three times. This is a great thread, and I do not want the mods to have to excise it!

Anywho.....

Method #1 -

Follow Holy Angel's kernel settings to greatly improve lag:

1. Disable ZRAM

2. Set to deadline (row seems to result in more battery drain at the moment)

3. Set read ahead to 1024

Method #2 -

Go into developer settings. Access animation settings and push up the timer on each to 1.5, rather than 1.

It seems as though the default animation speeds are a bit too fast at the moment resulting in tearing and choppiness. Slow them down and its like butter my friend!

Follow both of these methods and you will be good to go!
[One (M8) Android Development] dspcap:
I felt that way for years, but after reading fifteen pages of the same questions this morning just to catch up on this thread, it gets old. We don't need to turn this into a conversation, but people should learn to read and search.
[One (M8) Android Development] exocetdj:
Most people here help people who search first and exhaust all avenues. This isn't a spoon feeding centre. I had to learn from scratch which meant a hell of a lot of reading and searching.

in the threads i support there are two distinct types of member,

the one who is genuinely stuck and posts all the information they can so that someone can pick up where they left off and assist properly. - I LOVE HELPING THESE ;)

The second are the muppets who open a new thread in q&a along the lines of "my phone is broke what can i do to fix it" - these people are probably too lazy to even wipe thier arses after going for a crap (imagine the hygene problems....)
