Guys, I just noticed that a new version has just been released. I'm sorry (in advance) for the noob question, but when I flash (I read that clean flash is required) this new one, what is the best way to recover as many of my settings/data as possible? Is it as simple as a restore of data via Titanium Backup, or is there something more intelligent? Please point me in the right direction, and I'll go away and do some reading.

As I'm running currently on Sense firmware, do I need to downgrade it to 3.11.1702 or am I best advised to flash the GPE firmware?
[One (M8) Android Development] starbase64:
here is the modded firmware with sense bootloader: HTC_One_M8_GPE_Firmware_3.11.1700.2_Sense_HBoot_3.28.401.9.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
yes clean flash because it is a new base again....recover all your apps and appdata using titanium backup and then just restore after flash....i do not know how to backup settings on lollipop but it should not be required as its just a 5 min job as there are no tweaks to fiddle around....

in theory the rom works best on GPE firmware but if you do not know how to go around doing that as it is a tad bit technical then stick to sense firmware as the only issue there is is wifi dropping when screen off which can be fixed by turning on bluetooth alongside it.... the sense firmware version that is requires is 3.28.401.9 if you are below that u need to update your firmware for which you need to be s-off.......if you need an easy firmware update solution then

here it is http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
[One (M8) Android Development] starbase64:
Yes, but with sense bootloader > no repartitioning ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] rodbacon:
Thanks for the great response. I am running 3.28.401.9, and am not seeing any WiFi issues (probably because I leave BT on). Based on what you've said, I'll back all my apps and data up with Titanium, clean flash the ROM and then restore the data once I've reinstalled my apps.

Many thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] joseph168:
very quick update. Anyone already test it? how is the rom perform? I am going to flash so soon. THanks very much SD team for your always support our device :)
[One (M8) Android Development] mzrdisi:
I guess I don't follow, but I was simply pointing out how HTC seems to have severe setbacks, but yet this ROM you've put out seems to have no problems at all. (For me anyhow)

And now I realise what you were saying there....
[One (M8) Android Development] ozziedog:
[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] I just got my WiFi working on v4.0.5, converted to GPE with M8-L-firmware and used TWRP 2.8.1.0 had to flash twice. Running flawless for a full day. I I like this ROM. Downloading your newest version in the morning. Thanks for all your work. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] patensas:
Perhaps the original 5.0.1 update is a fix for the sms issue that bugged Vodafone users...

They couldn't send sms messages on Lollipop and still got charged for international texting.
[One (M8) Android Development] MaximN97:
[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] TY for tis great rom!!! this is the reason to switch from sense to skydragon. :D

[One (M8) Android Development] MaximN97:
changes the firmware the partition?
[One (M8) Android Development] NiXiNiX:
If it's the sense bootloader, it shouldn't.

I'm about to install it within a hour.

Edit:

Worked

I flashed the firmware " HTC_One_M8_GPE_Firmware_3.11.1700.2_Sense_HBoot_3. 28.401.9.zip" and it didn't changed the partition layout.
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
for some reason, it keeps reverting back google apps updates....

i install the updates, restart the device, and it keeps making me re-update...
[One (M8) Android Development] OriginalAuratic:
having the same issue, thought i did something wrong lol
[One (M8) Android Development] MaximN97:
Thx for the info, which changes are included?

There you go.
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
maybe we both did :D
[One (M8) Android Development] OriginalAuratic:
i just did a factory reset.. it doesnt do it anymore but some of the apps have to be manually reinstalled from the store
[One (M8) Android Development] NiXiNiX:
Everything got updated except for hboot (which changes the partition layout), cause it's the hboot from the sense 3.28.401.9.

I've no idea what the exact changelog for this firmware update is.
[One (M8) Android Development] totalfailz:
Can someone help guide me through going from a GPE conversion to this ROM? do I have to convert back to a sense ROM and then flash this or can I just install a recovery onto my phone and go from there?

Also can I unroot this without any problems? A few apps I use do not work with root so I need an unrooted phone. For anyone telling me to use root cloak, I have tried this before with no luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Using my phone only for the update process.

Confirming I can flash new ROM, then update FW using hboot method?(and flash a recovery at a later time)...correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
I am just curious where these leaks come from? Does the SD team work for Google or HTC? These appear to be the official builds that were supposed to release before they get delayed, 4.0.5 came out with a new Base when it got delayed that Friday.
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
followed your lead on this and your solution worked! thanks man ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] joseph168:
I'm not sure that whether I should flash this firmware since I am s-on. Please advice
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
No ... it won't work for S-On device.
[One (M8) Android Development] clay21:
Curiosity killed the cat ?.... Just enjoy the rom ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Traxx67:
Hello all.

I have install the new update from this room, but i have a problem. I have update 7 apps, from the store, but when i reboot the phone i must re update this app.

I test to delete and reinstall, but it's the same.

What can i do?

Thank you for your help.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rouz.:
Someone mentioned that a factory reset fixes it, I haven't tried it yet so I can't confirm
[One (M8) Android Development] NiXiNiX:
Same for me.

Already reinstalled three times including factory reset (once in recovery, once inside aroma installer and once using both options).

Still after reboot all Google apps a back to default version and have to be updated.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rouz.:
Did you guys installed the ROM with default settings? I wonder if changes in aroma breaks something
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
yes, it fixes it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rouz.:
I personally don't have this issue. I just updated the Gmail app, did a reboot, and Gmail is still updated. So I'm not sure what's causing it
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
do factory reset from the regular android settings.
[One (M8) Android Development] NiXiNiX:
Doesn't it include formating the internal sd card (which I would like to avoid)?
[One (M8) Android Development] Traxx67:
Thank you, i confirm it's work.
[One (M8) Android Development] yaron316:
I think it unfortunately does.
[One (M8) Android Development] angadreme:
So, as a summary (tell me if I'm doing wrong):

Keeping my latest Sense FW (3.28.401.9) + 100% clean install from the 4.05 SkyDragon GPE Rom should do it, right ? No known issue to be foreseen ? :D

Thanks a lot to you all for your support and of course to HolyAngel ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] 519ljh:

[One (M8) Android Development] Rouz.:

THX!
[One (M8) Android Development] rquinn19:
Only issue I've had so far is Wallet FC
[One (M8) Android Development] fraehngi:
I just want to say thank you again! Nowadays nearly all technical products are delivered in some kind of beta state and have to be "tested" by the consumer. It's just great to see, that a small community can pick up some software and code to make a better running OS like some major companies. You are the future! Internet, do your thing!
[One (M8) Android Development] ArtificialMusik:
+1 Here. Wallet FC's upon set up.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Just delete it from system/ priv-app reboot and install from play store no more FC.
[One (M8) Android Development] ArtificialMusik:
Just to be clear for others having the issue.

Uninstall it from the Play store app, then use a root file manager( I used Root Explorer ) then go into system/ priv-app and delete the whole Wallet folder. Reboot, then go into the play store and it should just say "Install". Install it and it works fine. :)

Thanks [MENTION=1407738]manup456[/MENTION] for the tip.

Can someone port this to m7?

[One (M8) Android Development] matitorres07:
There is no sense in porting, since we are so close to the official ota, so we won't port it we will have to wait.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Flashed new firmware, new 5.0.1 rom, then stock recovery, let it boot, then factory reset.

Everything working great. Thank you

How to flash stock recovery without computer?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Good question. I flash nothing without being at my computer in case something goes wrong.
[One (M8) Android Development] Benihipe:
Firmware update is only possible with s-off ? Firewater dont work for me error on first bottle is fw update usefull for this rom ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Fahad M.:
[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] can i dirty flash it? I'm using 20th Nov of the Rom and wanna flash it right over it.
[One (M8) Android Development] ArtificialMusik:
You will need sunshine. Or wait for ota. But you'll never be on gpe unless you upgrade your firmware to gpe. And to upgrade your firmware you need to be s-off. To get s-off you need sunshine if firewater doesn't work for you
[One (M8) Android Development] *mj13*:
It says in the OP clean is needed because it's a new base....
[One (M8) Android Development] Limbani:
has anyone lost smart lock trusted places after the new rom. i then installed the new google play services and now have lost smart lock entirely.
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
So this is the best firmware to run both sense and gpe roms?
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
I flash everything I can. If I know how of course. Custom recovery is not a problem, just not sure same principle applies to stock one.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Unfortunately yes, you might have to spend the money for Sunshine like a lot of us did. Not cheap but worth it (for me anyways).
[One (M8) Android Development] subitz:
So, I had to restore my backup of SD 4.0.5 lollipop 5.0 because when I flashed SD 4.1.1 it erased my baseband and I lost network connection. Any ideas why that happend? I'm S-ON. THANKS!
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Thing is how do you flash a recovery from recovery... It would have to be one of those 0p6b...zip files you put on the root of the SD card and install that via bootloader.

Oh wait, didn't someone (the same person who did the RUU to convert to GPE) make an app that switches recovery? I'm not sure it supports the L recovery though.

Here it is. I haven't tried it myself but it might work

Look in post #2, there is a newer one.

Make sure you installed the right flavor of the Google play services, it has to end with -438 I think for it to match what the M8 needs.
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
TWRP can be flashed in terminal emulator.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
So, use the same method for the stock recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] erapmicks:
Where can i find the stock recovery? I Found the new firmware. I just cant find the Stock recovery. Thank you
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I'm pretty sure I found it in this thread somewhere... Search the thread or worse case, download the older firmware, open it with 7-zip and you'll find the recovery.img in there, that's the stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Pulled kernel link, breaking paid apps currently, try this again.. :/
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Do you get any sleep? Lol! Thanks I'll check it out.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
haha i got a bit :P Let me know what you think ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Well boots fine everything that should work, works. Since everyone complains about WiFi in other kernel threads I've attached a SS it works fine.

Is there a companion app I should be using to change kernel settings?
[One (M8) Android Development] Gs0230:
Xposed doesn't work on this yet since its 4.4.3 correct
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Thanks! I recommend either Trickstermod App or Kernel Tweaker by DSHT. They both have their features but either will work for the majority of settings you'd want to change.
[One (M8) Android Development] loonz29:
You are pushing updates quicker than I can test a full battery cycle!

Just downloaded and installed the new kernel (1.0.1). For some reason, I lost beautiful widgets. I tried to reinstall it from the play store and it says that can not install to internal or SD storage. I'm not sure what it could be but it did work with the previous version. Anyway thanks for the awesome work!
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Ah yep, you are right :( will pull link again and try a couple more things. Thanks for the report.
[One (M8) Android Development] Gr8man001:
Xposed works fine here. Re-install the framework and reboot, it should work.
[One (M8) Android Development] gr4z:
To flash the new kernel I just dirty flash it in recovery yes?
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Yes, take the opportunity to wipe cache and dalvik too :)
[One (M8) Android Development] gr4z:
OK thanks. I am getting invalid rom and device combo using the OTA - any reason?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Thats normal, I haven't added the same ota you used to get there to match the current rom to the rom list so it gives you that message because it can't find an update. Totally fine. When I post new update it'll show up like usual.
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Tried Google Wallet today at Walgreen's. Didn't work :/ lots of variables not sure if it's the ROM, Kernel, or the POS System. Had worked previously on Sense, haven't tried yet on GPe until today.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Here is new kernel finally, 1.0.1. EVERYTHING works this time lol

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543232
[One (M8) Android Development] str8killinya:
Recommended settings the same as 1.0.0?

SkyDragon GPE Powered HTC One (M8)
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
yep same settings should do fine. Let me know you all find any better settings. I haven't had a ton of time to mess with it.
[One (M8) Android Development] galza:
Rom is really good and smooth..i flashed also holyangel kernel and bluetooth isnt working for me..i try to enable it and it stucks there and wouldnt turn it on..kernel prob or rom prob? I just found that today when i was trying to pair my device with my car bluetooth...any solutions?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
When did you download the kernel? I would try the link I just posted like 20min ago, the first one i put up today didn't have wifi working either, second didn't have paid app store apps, but this last one I just uploaded has all that working and I just checked bluetooth myself to verify that was fine. So ya, I would redownload the 1.0.1 kernel and flash it and see if that fixes it for you ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] galza:
I downloaded the latest one and still bluetooth doesnt work.im trying to restore anorher rom ro see if its a hardware issue bit i know it worked fine 2 days ago...?
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
And than run across the street to Radio Shack to use their computer in case it doesn't work. Right ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Well that's for you to figure out, you are the one who likes to flash risky stuff away from a computer.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
You can try but I don't guarantee anything
[One (M8) Android Development] joni2012:
Awesome Miguel you work is perfect
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
I'm going to have a point release coming today all. I had moved some of the google apps to the data partition to leave more room in the system partition but apparently it doesn't like that.
[One (M8) Android Development] MaximN97:
yes only with s-off, try sunshine to get s-off!
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
I forgot about this app. It will work. Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] scataldo721:
So in theory I'll be able to use this firmware with multirom using a sense Rom and this GPE rom
[One (M8) Android Development] erapmicks:
I downloaded the M8 L firmware from HolyAngel's old post. But i cant see the "Recovery.img in there
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Open the ZIP, then in it open firmware.zip, I'm pretty sure it's in there.

EDIT: Sorry, looks like the stock recovery has been removed from that one as well so that it doesn't overwrite.
[One (M8) Android Development] erapmicks:
Do u mind if u share the file? lol

Talking about the coudn't add widget in the recents menu.
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpione:
Good stuff in this thread. Thanks to [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] and those contributing to customizations and fixes! I already donated but another is clearly warranted. :) 4.0.5 has been running fine for me, but will install 4.1.x when the point release goes up.

I normally don't make these kinds of requests, but since others have been fulfilled in this thread... I'd like to see an option or mod to 1) make three-dot Menu button always-visible in the nav bar and/or 2) long-hold Recents key goes to most recent app and/or 3) screen-off music controls with volume keys.

These, along with the swipe-to-sleep mod already posted, would take care of most of the mods I used to do with Xposed.

[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Right now I can't, I'm at work and for the sake of keeping my job, I had to delete all my android stuff here... too distracting.

I'm pretty sure it's in the thread here somewhere.
[One (M8) Android Development] azizolmez:
if I flash the newer firmware lost all data?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Nope, I don't have that problem. Did you uninstall stuff in Aroma? I kept everything default in there.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

Depends on the one you flash. Read the warnings in post 2, I think flashing the recovery does wipe some stuff.
[One (M8) Android Development] xsidex:
I'm not sure but I think I didn't, i installed stuff that was supposed to be removed but I think I didn't uninstall anything.
[One (M8) Android Development] duanes:
I had to reinstall.

So yes, better do a titanium backup.
[One (M8) Android Development] bia9977:
You can pull it out from RUU I think.
[One (M8) Android Development] nobnut:
It happens on all Lollipop devices occassionally. There is a simple fix. Reboot into Safe Mode and then reboot normally.
[One (M8) Android Development] erapmicks:
Could i flash the GPE 4.4.4 stock recovery?

Never tried the 4.4.4 recovery with Android L.

It might be the same and it might work but I would not risk it.

Issues

Today I flashed the new version of the rom and for some reason i was gettung no service but everything else was working perfectly, and I didnt have this issue when on the 4.0.5 verwion of the rom. Can some one help me our here, I have the latest hboot and have the asia wwe edition if the HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Haha!

Can I dirty flash 4.1.2 over 4.1.1?

Seriously great performance from this ROM, really impressed :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Sulphy:
I dirty flashed, and after a reboot, all the google apps want to update again! So looks like a full wipe is required again!

All the same... loving this rom!!! :) Thanks !!!
[One (M8) Android Development] SpaceK33z:
I was having this exact same problem (also the phone app was crashing), but after a clean wipe it works again :). And oh ****, this ROM is awesome.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
If you are on 4.1.1 then delete the gapps in data/app and data/app-lib, then you can dirty flash. just might have to redownload those gapps ONCE, but after that you'll be fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] ewMAXIMUS:

I'm on 4.0.5 do I need to Reflash the firmware or can I just flash the ROM via TWRP and setup as new.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Rom toolbox can do it, some type of root browser, or maybe titanium backup.
