[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
I have a couple fixes listed in the FAQ on the second post. Is it not seeing your internal sdcard? And did you flash the L firmware? If you did you can try the latest sense firmware, or check out the twrp storage fix in the FAQ to backup and format data/storage..
[One (M8) Android Development] NJGSII:
Ok, so I tried this out again, flashed the lag fix, and decided to run it side by side with a Nexus 5 that's running a ROM based on the official release of lollipop for that device. The verdict: the One M8 was either matching or beating the Nexus 5 in such things as opening of apps, responsiveness, and loading videos on YouTube as well as webpages. Most of the time I say that the One M8 beat the Nexus 5 at the stuff listed above. Nothing too scientific, but I figured I post what I observed.
[One (M8) Android Development] swoosh0217:
Thank you for the quick response. I really like this ROM and I amsorry for such a noob but can you tell me if these are the correct steps:

1. After I installed the Lollipop ROM, go back to Recovery and do a wipe.

2. Flash the latest 4.4.4 firmware ( 3.28.401.9 Firmware Noredtext.zip)

3. Install the GPE Rom again

4. Download an Terminal Emulator and run the following: su restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Has anyone managed to get the HTC Camera to work ? Google Stock Camera sucks big time :(
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
It does not work and its not portable currently due to needing sense framework :(
[One (M8) Android Development] leoaudio13:
Thank you for your fast reply. Damn, HTC needs to release 5.0 quicker lol :good: your 5.o Rom is awesome! Thank you very much!
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Yeah that should work, but I'd swap 1. and 2. Flash the firmware and then wipe, then install the rom again. If you can't see internal storage then try the terminal emulator. Other option if you're already on the L firmware and don't need whatever is on your internal storage is, go to recovery and format data partition, then reinstall the ROM and you should be good to go.
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
Did you flash the GPE conversion zip or came from Gpe rom? I came from a sense rom and there are random lag spikes everywhere, not all the time of course. But sometimes it's nearly unusable, especially after waking up from sleep.
[One (M8) Android Development] NJGSII:
I have been converted this phone to a GPE phone. So I flashed the firmware that's in this thread, then the ROM itself in recovery. Booted the ROM up, went through the setup, and then went back to recovery to flash the lagfix zip that HolyAngel posted a few pages back. That has seemed to have fixed most of the issues I was experiencing.
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
Maybe coming from sense is part of the problem. Anyone else came from sense, please share your experience regarding lag, so we can know for sure if that is the culprit. Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] lewonsky:
I will not advise converting yr device to gpe firmware as it has been reported that converting back to sense firmware gave problems. If yr device is originally a sense device, just leave it as it is. Sense lollipop will arrive anyway
[One (M8) Android Development] subarudroid:
Sense firmware here and everything seems good. I have to admit it took some time to nail down root cause I was having issues with a little lag. By my own admission I was flashing the wrong binaries from chainfire. Rookie move but I caught it and everything is fine. Hopefully everyone is reading the OP.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
I came from Sense; running latest Sense FW... Forget the version, but it's the same that's posted in this link minus. 2 on the end.

Had some lag, flashed the last fix, which does rest the DPI (no biggie; manually fixed it) and since flashing it, haven't had any issues whatsoever. Haven't swapped to the GPe firmware and reception/WiFi are excellent.
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
It gives problems if not done correctly. I've gone back and forth several times already havent had any issues. Not a single issue on sense, my WiFi and SD card access work fine on here as well. Seems that people who don't follow proper direction have issues and some of us love the phone but don't like sense and want to convert.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Chrome doesn't really lag for me everything smooth there. The only problem I have is that yesterday it started to give me an error while trying to download :o

Also dot view app gives me an error when trying to download/update from play store -.-

[One (M8) Android Development] luke97:
I came from Sense latest version too, rooted, S-OFF, working perfectly before flahing this ROM.

My problems now are: Some lag, but perfectly usable. No Root access (maybe it depends of the app??), but SuperSU is installed and OK ????. I get an error message in apps like ES File Explorer.

Cant install Xposed, and Adaway isnt working properly. Maybe is there a solution out there?

Although Im an iphone fanboy, I must admit I love this Lollipop!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
So the conversion wipes your iinternal sdcard (from what I've read) though not the external sdcard if it is plugged in? Did you convert to gpe to flash this rom?
[One (M8) Android Development] swoosh0217:
So I tried doing the data partition from recovery but it failed. It said something like "the ext is higher than the swap". Again sorry for being a noob but what do I exactly enter when as far as plus and minuses for the swap and ext from that screen before swiping the swap partition?
[One (M8) Android Development] fraehngi:
I don't know if it's a problem with this ROM or maybe with my Bluetooth device. But when I'm using my Bluetooth Radio in my car from the to now it will play the music at probably 200% speed. A reboot of my phone solves the problem. What I'm wondering about is the fact that my Bluetooth connected AVR in my livingroom doesn't have any problems. But in fact only a reboobt of the phone solves the problem in the car. Anyone else with problems like this?
[One (M8) Android Development] style154:
I was experiencing the same thing on my car stereo today which was my first day on there Rom but this is also the only Bluetooth device I can test with
[One (M8) Android Development] aj8600:
I have the same issue as have many others in the thread. No one seems to have an answer atm, at least the reboot solves it. Possibly firmware related, which firmware are you on?
[One (M8) Android Development] jmkhenka:
I must warn you all regarding the firmware package.

It screwed up my display. I now have 3 dots bottom left (below the virtual back button). In older bases (1.12 or 4.4.3 GPE firmware) they are not there but as soon as i go 4.4.4 or 3.18 sense (fully converted back with ruu) they are there again.

Aswell the digitizer seemse a bit sloppy. Overall the device is much slower in touch respons. Something tells me the digitizer or ADSP got ****ed up by something in the firmware. No flashing left or right helps.

I will now have to convert back to stock and send it in for warranty if that is even possible. The phone is essentialy bricked due to the firmware in this thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
Is it just me or is there half a second to a second of delay when I press the power button or swiping up on the display to wake the phone up from sleep? Also my phone hang for a long time and had to be hard reset about 4 times today, i didn't mention it earlier because I was testing a few things but to no avail. Good job dev. but this rom is far from ready I reckon for mass adoption (if these issues aren't isolated)
[One (M8) Android Development] drakegao:

[One (M8) Android Development] luigi90210:
dont blame the firmware for your mistake

you should be careful with flashing firmware yourself and only you can take responsibility for your actions, many people have been able to flash this firmware without any issue
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Yep ... it's FC only when we select the keyboard for the first time to enable it and back. If you close Settings after choose keyboards, no FC then you can open HTC Sense Input setting with no FC.

Or you can go to its setting thru keyboard itself :
[One (M8) Android Development] jmkhenka:
Flashing firmware is as easy as a command in adb. My competence should not be questioned. There is issue with firmware, and the result of this is a damage device.

For a fact, there is subtle but major differences in M8's due to different internal hardware and this is known and the firmware appears to be pre-release and probably enables some debug flags in hboot that other firmware packages

dont reset properly. I have 0 problems before with firmware and has had s-off since it came out and made sense/gpe conversions twice aswell downgrades and upgrades to other "new" released firmwares without problem.

But i have a theory that the firmware for 5.0/L is different then 4.4.4 firmware in more ways then just hboot and radio and will watch and se if the final firmware (when it comes out on OTA for GPE) will fix it. If not im sending it in for warranty and getting a N6 instead.

My device has had issues with older firmware (when it was stock and s-on) with it rebooting once every time i remove it from charger. This issue was fixed with 3.xx sense, so guess HTC knew about that. So they have done something weird with their phones this time around.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Are you talking about fw 3.09.1700.2 or the new sense firmware ? I haven't seen any major problems from the users who have used the 3.09.xxxx.x firmware

[MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] when the GPe rom does come out, along with the binaries and other possible firmware updates and source codes, will I have to convert to GPe first and then flash or just simply flash on top of this rom? I know it is a bit premature to ask this, but HTC does make updating a bit of a pain with the different versions (CID, MID, FWs, Sense/GPe, partition sizes let alone carrier specific versions (HK version, I'm talking about you!)), where as for nexus devices these aren't a worry at all... I kinda miss those simple days when I had my nexus s and nexus 7, flash anything I want without "converting". Sigh, had I known this I probably would've bought a nexus. With my Monday rant done, time to study Latin for my test tomorrow...

Loving the ROM. First tried to flash through TWRP and got stuck on the HTC logo, so flashed Philz, reflashed ROM while using the latest Sense FW and everything is 100%.

Im so pleased with Lollipop Im concidering just converting to GPE and using that stock from now on. Especially if Google\HTC can update the ROMs this quickly.
[One (M8) Android Development] dovah:
What is this lag fix ?
[One (M8) Android Development] hbt15:
You'll probably find there will be both versions. One that can simply be flashed like this one and any other.

Then there will be the gpe conversion ones which repartition the phone to make better use of phones storage capacity and also allows ota updates etc as effectively the conversion makes it a gpe.

I'm a 1st version kind of guy as the storage and ota advantages of gpe don't bother me and I've always got access to sense rims at drop of a hat too.

Others like option 2 for reasons mention.
[One (M8) Android Development] blacklistedcard:

I had a similar problem when trying to do a custom ROM upgrade on my g/f's Nexus 5...

Sometimes, it's not worth cutting corners to save some time with not doing a full wipe on a significant OS upgrade.

It's to same with updating from Windows 7 to 8...

With the M8 it's a lot easier, as you have an external SD card.

Backup all your stuff you'll ever need onto an external SD card. That's a full CWM/TWRP backup, a full Titanium Backup/Helium/whatever you use. And all your pics and anything else that's important.

(Then, assuming you're S-OFF'd, do the customised firmware upgrade in the OP. ) - optional!

Then perform a full internal wipe of all partitions (you'll have to, as the new firmware will repartition and junk the partitions).

You'll need to be in CWM for this(as recommended in the OP) - I couldn't get TWRP to do the format correctly.

Then install the ROM (plus lagfix) on a nice, as new, super clean phone.

It'll boot and work perfectly, then recover all your stuff from the external SD.

Believe me, guys, It's worth it.

Cutting corners and not following the OP will just make everything more awkward for you.

You'll have no permission issues. Everything will just work as [MENTION=325306]DarkAngel[/MENTION] intended.

My 2 cents ;)

(well, 2p, I'm British!)

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

[MENTION=4279658]Billchen0014[/MENTION] correct. Placed the conversion zip on root of external sd, booted to boot loader, it found zip, let it run, (let phone startup and remove that from your SD card for further boot loader boots) rebooted to fastboot flashed L fw, rebooted to BL again, pushed TWRP recovery, installed ROM.
