Rooted Custom ROM

Sorry guys I'm New to this so I have 1 question , the rooted custom Rom means that I don't need to root my phone to flash it? And the Rom will root it for me?

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-an...ion-stock-rom-build-lrx22c-htc-one-m8-1479227

This website above dosent mention about rooting my phone before flashing the Rom, is this website correct? Just a precaution and can I flash the rooted custom Rom after I rooted my phone ? :P I'm a noob just asking
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
You need a custom recovery to flash it and like it mentions in the thread you posted ,you will need the latest firmware or closest to it for it to run smoothly.

What version is your phone currently running (hboot screenshot please)
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
hello my android version is 4.4.4 kitkat with 1.52 software build and i flashed and everything is working in my device good till now :) thank you :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
Glad to here but if you haven't already please give thanks to the OP

[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
Okay :)
[One (M8) Android Development] chattguy:
Hey I have a question to the OP. First off, thanks for this rom it runs really smoothly. My problem is if I try to restore to what should be a perfect backup, I get caught in a nasty bootloop every time. Am I missing something?
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
hello

i have one question

1. will i receive ota updates from google?

and the rom is amazing and really smooth thnx dev
[One (M8) Android Development] Slicktune:
I love this ROM!!!!!!

I love GPE!!!

I love ANDROID!!

I love my M8!!

I just got this phone less than a week ago and idle time on this is effin' ridiculous!! Thank God I sold my S5, I could never get these stats on my S5...
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
You will need to be fully converted,

S-OFF,CID,MID,Stock recovery and no system mods
[One (M8) Android Development] wildchild048:
I have been using this since the day it came out and with in the last few days my phone has been locking up and when I try to use the xda app sometimes it goes to play store when I tap on a thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
And you think this is the rom's fault why? Sounds like a problem with the XDA app and should be reported in that thread. It's just common sense.. If it was happening with every app, sure first thing I would think is its the rom's fault or something messed up with the rom but if it was only happening with one specific app only it's kinda common sense it might very well be that one app that's the issue... Makes sense... No?
[One (M8) Android Development] wildchild048:
The locking up happens when switching between apps or using camera.Sorry forgot to put that in before. Not saying its the ROM just not sure what is happening.
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
p

Hello, are they all available in the internet? just asking and to get ota from htc i gotta change back to sense rom?
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
No matter what conversion your on as long as your CID,MID,Stock recovery matches and you have zero system mods than OTA's will prompt when they are available.
[One (M8) Android Development] manfly9884:
Really liking this RIM only thing that I don't like is the camera. It only gives me 4 mega pixels as maximum quality and the pictures I take are not that good. Am I missing something?

[One (M8) Android Development] vpkb:
Can you please elaborate? Do i need to Super CID or leave the factory (AT&T) CID? Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Yeah... You're missing that you don't even know the specs of your phone..
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
Unless At&t pushed the 4.4.4 OTA update you will need S-OFF and Supercid to flash a higher firmware so the ROM runs as smooth as it can.it may lag a bit if your completely stock and flash 5.0.1 .

Supercid is needed to have a successful flashing of a non At&t firmware .
[One (M8) Android Development] vpkb:
Thanks - i flashed GPE firmware and this ROM, everything is working great!
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
Expert's opinion needed:

Will it be better to flash this rom after the official Sense OTA with the new firmware coming in January?

Is it better to do it from 4.4.4?

Could the next firmware update from HTC make this rom incompatible?

Would like to hear you opinions.
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
Opinion #1

That's what I did ,I Dev edition converted and OTA up to the latest 4.4.4 and flashed this ROM .

Runs like my Nexus 5 running official 5.0.1

[One (M8) Android Development] ozziedog:
I just flashed this ROM and I have a question; Is the home screen suppose to look like the SkyDragon ROM minus the Dragon listed in Development? or did I do something work, haven't used SkyDragon in a while. Just curious:)
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
thats a lollipop wallpaper
[One (M8) Android Development] AttachedSilver:
is there by way to have the camera save the photos to the SD card? Also the browser downloads? pretty much have all incoming files save to the SD card by default?
[One (M8) Android Development] Slicktune:
Sorry for the noob question, but I've looked all over xda for the 4.4.4 version of this Rom, with no mods just root but can't find it no where...not even on the OP site...can someone help me please

Thanks in advance!!

And Happy New year!!

I flashed this ROM twice, but result is without nav bar. Navbar only help restore with lyapota mod (choose in aroma istaller change navbar size). But i dont whant use lyapota mod. I want full stock ROM
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
I get a 'no sd card' error after flashing this rom, anyone know why?

Everything works, but I don't have any ringtones and I can't download from the web or from within apps.

How is that possible if everything works?

Update:

I tried wiping everything again and reflashing the rom - same result.

I can download apps from the Play Store, but can't actually see my system partition.

The camera says I need a SD card before I can use it, file managers show an empy window when on SD partition.

Will appreciate the help.

Update 2: Solved in this thread!

Check it out if you get the same errors:

hii

yesterday i flashed sinless 5.0.0 over viper 4.4..4...everything is good except that wifi issue due to firmware..

now i wanna flash this stock coz battery is not that much good with that.

can anyone tell me how to flash this.

i dont wanna mess. i am s on.cam bare that wi fi no problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] cairnsGU:
I used twrp. Put ROM on external SD card . performed wipe/factory reset and then installed ROM and booted
[One (M8) Android Development] atif4ever:
let me try this one..

can u tell how to adjust notification volume in this rom?
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
guys i was using skydragon and replaced with this rom and i cant get the on screen buttons and notification after the setup, i cleaned dalvik cache, system, and int storage too

still this happening i flashed it 3 times still same problem. i flashed this rom before it didnt have the prob

any suggestions what to do?

and the computer does not recognize this device :/
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Do a full wipe! You didn't wipe data did you? If you're using twrp, just slide factory reset and you're good to go to flash another rom :)

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Guess I wasn't the only one that's facing battery with sinless 5.0 :p

How's stock for you? Running stock sense though I'm a bit eager to flash ;)

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Try formatting your sd card to fat32 instead of exfat and see whether your m8 can detect it or not ! Make sure to backup your sd card first ;);)
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
Managed to fix the internal storage error, now everything works great!

Amazing rom. So worth the move from Sense.

Thank you graffyxnyc for this wonderful port.
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
well i did wipe the internal storage too and when i flashed the rom all worked perfectly fine except when i go to file manager there is not even 1 file in internal storage, all is saved in ext storage y? its just strange.. :p

or is it a good thing? :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
I don't get you on this :confused: By default Lollipop GPE saves things in your internal storage and none will be saved in your SD card... But if you open up a file manager and can't find your sd card, try to enable root access for the file manager.

If no go check whether your SD card is exfat or fat32. If its exfat, convert it to fat32 but remember to backup your contents first;)

If above both methods don't work, download a terminal emulator from play store and key this in: su

restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Or look at this FAQ here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53838669&postcount=2

not a port, its the stock rom

[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
now i have a different problem :/ , the twrp backup folder is missing and there r 2 back up made for sample for this. which took 3 GB and still cant find the Backup folder in both internal and external storage
[One (M8) Android Development] liam10000:
Flashing the RUU wipes internal SD and formatting external SD also wipes it. Did you save it in a 3rd party location at all, because it sounds like both your SDs have been wiped.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Try to reformat your sd card but you can trying doing a backup of your boot (which is the kernel) and see where its backup in than reboot to your system and get a file manager to delete them ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] live16:
cant find it tried formatting :/ i cant even find it in file manager too

i was asking about backup's because in case i wanted to update my phone to "sense 6 android L" through OTA i thought of downloading nandroid backup's from internet and restore it only if i could find the backup folder :/

and how can i reflash my custom recovery? i think that will solve the problem i guess :P
[One (M8) Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
I installed this on T-Mobile One M8. Everything is running smooth except for one issue that I wanna report. There is no data when I'm not on WiFi. There was correct APN in cellular networks settings and calls and text are going just fine, just that there is no data (Facebook, twitter, chrome don't work and there is no 2g, 3g, 4g icon on top).
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Have you checked your APN to make sure they're all correct? Are you sure you turn on your mobile data? Even if your firmware isn't up to date, you can still use data but not wifi....
[One (M8) Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
Yeah, APN is correct. I double checked with my stock tmobile note4.

Also, data is enabled...

Still I get no data.

I can connect to WiFi just fine though...

Does Google Edition come with a tether app like the sense rom?
[One (M8) Android Development] liam10000:
Both USB and Wi-Fi.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Your an find the hotspot feature in settings whereas tethering to the com will appear when you plug it into com and pull down your notification bar. Or maybe you can plug into the com and hotspot changes into tethering? :confused:

I've not used tethering for a long time so I'm not sure.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

Have you tried another SIM card? I flashed the rom and it worked fine, both data and wifi

Are you using stock or custom kernel? Does this happen when you're on other rom or stock?

It's in the "More..." Part under wireless and networks.

Is it better to wait for the HTC update to 5.0 before installing this ROM?
[One (M8) Android Development] vpkb:
Only issue I see is the lag with launching apps. Camera app is also laggy, otherwise, everything else works well.

I am s on and can't get sunshine to work with my device so I have to get updated firmware with an official ota
[One (M8) Android Development] O0cynix0o:
Both in sort of the same boat.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
It sort of just makes your situation worst by taking more OTA's, your making it where you may never get S-OFF.

If you stay on your current firmware then Sunshine will be updated to work eventually, why does sunshine not work on your device anyways?

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

Why is that even with a custom kernel set to permissive I can not get V4A to work on this rom? Adaway doesn't work and Titanium backup keeps freezing during backup restore, I thought this was a rooted rom? none of these issues are happening on Skydragon Rom, what is missing in your rom that makes these apps work correctly.

Does anyone else have this issue? I didn't have these issues when I used your Kitkat 4.4.4 rom, I had all these and even Xposed working fine back then.
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
Its never able to gain root even when I'm rooted and am able to use other root apps
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Just flash supersu.zip in recovery after flashing the rom :p
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
I've tried that and all other apps work with root except sunshine. Ive got the unlocked international edition HTC_001
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Unlocked M8 but with what Sense 4.4.4 Kitkat? Did you take an OTA? if so it may be patched now on that version, otherwise an other trick you could try is to simply flash an other rom, then try again, could be something goofy in your rom or stock rom causing this issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
No idea. I have no issues with write protection with this rom because I'm s-off. S-off automatically disables write protection. You can't write anything to the system because by default there is write protection on the system. You will have to ask in the kernel threads as to why it's not working for you. Most people who are S-ON either have to use a kernel with wp disabled or they have to use a kernel module. In previous versions of this rom the kernel module was included but at the time I did this 5.0.1 version there was no module available that would work..

Other custom roms have this built in.. This isn't a custom rom though.. It's stock..
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
I took the 4.4.4 update back in august. Is sunshine compatible with this version.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Certain variants of Sense 4.4.4 does not work with Sunshine, but GPE 4.4.4 does, but if you take an OTA to 5.0.1 then it will make matters worst and delay your chance of getting S-OFF.

I learned for the final time when I got this phone not to accept OTA's because my phone came with GPE 4.4.2 and stupidly when I turned on the phone I accepted the OTA to 4.4.4...... So I could have used firewater for free to S-OFF but it didn't work, it said an error message "Don't you know the golden rule? never accept an OTA, patched by HTC you are out of luck".

So sense I made that mistake I was forced to use Sunshine and pay the $25, so I advise you to either wait and flash the rom and deal with the Wifi bug until Sunshine is updated, or take the OTA if you want and delay your chances of S-OFF to a matter of months.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I have S-OFF, I will do more tests later, because I want to figure out what the deal is for yours and my sake, even if I don't stick with this rom I want to test it for you sense this issue exists some where in the world(here in Texas) haha.
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
If I flash the gpe ROM could I get sunshine working then? And when I was running the gpe ROM the sim would repeatedly become connected and disconnected. Is that an issue from old sense firmware?
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
You could make a backup and try but honestly I believe the vulnerability is in the firmware or one of those partitions not in the System/Android partition it self, so that will most likely not work, like I said some variants of Sense 4.4.4 work but some don't the OS is pretty much the same, but the firmware between each carrier is different.

As for the Sim issue, that's strange, do you have it at all on Sense? I had this exact same issue in 2012 on the HTC One X, but it was a known hardware issue so it happened on any rom, I was missing phone calls and everything, I eventually got pissed and got a Nexus 4, now the M8 GPE.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
You really should be asking your questions about s-off in the sunshine thread. As far as data dropping I've not experienced that issue.. Best bet is to use the search thread feature and see..
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
00
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Very odd indeed.. If you're s-off you should have wp disabled by default. Do you have space on the system partition? Run df in terminal emulator and see how much space you have free on the system partition. You should have plenty of space if you're using the sense bootloader.. If you're using the GPE bootloader then that limits the system partition size. With fully converted gpe devices when the 5.0.1 update it left practicly no space on the system partition. Which I think was either a boo boo by HTC or deliberate to prevent us from messing with the system.
[One (M8) Android Development] jjdp:
The sim issue involved seeing several sim removed and sim inserted messages. It would happen several times a day and on a few occasions I lost sim connection for about 4 hours. However when I went back to sense they all stopped, and I switched back almost 2 weeks ago

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

I didn't get any issue for about a week after installing the gpe rom. Then it would mainly happen at certain times of day. I have the unlocked international edition with did HTC_001
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Weird, I will test this, my phone has always been GPE from Google Play, on SD at the moment even with a couple mods that he put in the rom, I still have 52MB on my system partition, so I will do other tests and let you know how it turns out, I will even make a video if I have to if the issues continue to show you exactly what I mean lol, well heck how do I make a video if my camera is my phone? never mind then!! :laugh:
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Kit kat and lollipop both have screen capture recording built in. You can either run the adb command or there are also apps that do it using the built in feature.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
You were right, 0B available on system, so I removed some system apps like Chinese keyboards and such I would never use, left me with 32.9MB.

Adaway now works because the host file has somewhere to go now, but 2 issues remain that are not happening on other roms, any custom kernel, I tried 3.... none of their features work, no dt2w or sweep2sleep, these work in other roms without an issue and I feel its something rom related in system partition, the kernel installs fine but like I said none of the features work.

Also V4A installs driver but when you enable it, music playback mutes and the player UI is speeding threw tracks at like 40x speed, and if you leave it doing that for too long then the phone sometimes freezes and reboots, this is even on stock kernel it doesn't matter which kernel at all for this issue.

This left 30.8MB to spare.

I never had any of these issues on your Kitkat Rom, maybe there is something new about Lollipop that custom roms include an extra or fix for?

One thing I don't fully understand is on Skydragon, there is quite a few more system apps like HTC TV for example then this stock rom and you still get 52MB left over on system.

I restored my Skydragon backup to check again any differences, everything works no problem, I didn't make any modification, and SD is close to stock, so I wonder what the difference is that is making this happen!? lol
