i'm a little confused.

I was with sense lollipop. I flashed the MM GPe ROM when it came out. Now that MM Sense is out, I want to go back to it. So do I need to follow the steps in "go back to sense" and use fastboot etc? Because trying to flash MM Sense ROM failed in the recovery.

thanks.

Anyone have thoughts on the weird issue that leads apps to not see the internal storage as accessible? I tried formatting internal storage before and after installing the rooted zip, but a lot of apps still aren't working.

new build

Just note, I just received update to MRA58K.H8 from 1st December, 2015.
[One (M8) Android Development] Matte93:
Me too, but I've flashed the rooted rom. I don't know how to update, [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] made the rom so i just wait an answer from him.
[One (M8) Android Development] SiK TL:
Did you fully convert to GPE or did you just flash the GPE rom? If you did not fully convert (MID/CID). Then you shouldn't have any problems flashing a sense based rom. If you are. Then you need to ask for help on the thread specific to that rom.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

You need to be on the UN-rooted version and fully converted to GPE with stock recovery to be able to take that update.
[One (M8) Android Development] Isotopes:
[MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] and all over

Latest 5.07.1700.8 - MRA58K.H8 OTA can you download from here.
[One (M8) Android Development] Matte93:
So that does it mean factory reset and flash the updated rom? I think I'm gonna stay on 6.0 for now
[One (M8) Android Development] Trinition:
I just installed MRA58K.H8 OTA (I was stock GPe, unrooted) . I don't notice any changes. It's definitely NOT 6.0.1.

Does anyone know what changed?
[One (M8) Android Development] Misledz:
Could you post a screenshot of your About phone info after flashing? Just edit out personal stuff.

[One (M8) Android Development] Misledz:
This is just my guess, but its probably to address the bug that causes the phone to stutter and freeze when you swap from data to WiFi or the WiFi drain bug, I checked Twitter but Mo hasn't said anything about this.

December Security Updates ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Cool I'll get an update together later.
[One (M8) Android Development] queso:
I have this too, but I think it is more related to the phone than the OS. I had the issue on older OS's too.
[One (M8) Android Development] rodolfojr:
I'm on 6.0 fully converted GPE, rooted. Can I just un-root and get the update? If so, how can I do this?
[One (M8) Android Development] indiana99:
I lost root after installing latest update on 6.0 GPE stock with systemless root.
[One (M8) Android Development] npes87184:
But my phone is normal in the last OS...
[One (M8) Android Development] john_matrix:
I think you have to reflash boot.img as root is inside.
[One (M8) Android Development] TunedFish:
Did you unroot before installing the update?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Op updated with MRA58K.H8

December security patch

Probably some other bug fixes, sorry not 6.0.1
[One (M8) Android Development] enerGy:
Thanks bro, just flash it over or?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Yes. I had restored a backup, I dirty flashed over it then xposed and rebooted... cache didn't even have to rebuild.

This build, whatever it is... fixed an issue for me with HDwitdgets stopping on boot.

I've only been using it for a couple of hours but seems fine, I did however have to clear the data from phone. But that probably because I was using a different apk...
[One (M8) Android Development] indiana99:
Thanks. I reflashed the systemless boot img and root is back.

got an ota we could flash? not even sure if that would work with rooted, but i'd rather not download a whole rom for this
[One (M8) Android Development] leather.face:
Hi, you can not flash a OTA-Update with a rooted ROM. This work not and I do not recommend it ... To flash a official OTA this work only with a un-rooted ROM.

[One (M8) Android Development] rodbacon:
I upgraded the firmware and dirty flashed .8 over .6 RUU converted phone. For some reason, my phone wanted to setup again from scratch (I'm sure that I didn't do a factory reset or wipe, only cleared cache and dalvik after flash). Restored data partition from Nandroid backup, and seems OK for now. Will advise.
[One (M8) Android Development] therock11:
Every time I reboot my phone all my app settings go back to default. It even removes the accounts that are not primary.
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
That is a rare issue that not many people face. And many of those who face are Htc owners. Even I had faced this. Couldn't find any appropriate solution. Had to move to sense and everything seems fine.

I think Htc had messed up with Gpe Marshmallow. These problems have rather become common. :/
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Must be some kind of user error or modified rom error, I just now this minute dirty flashed (non-rooted) rom and then flashed SuperSu separately, nothing against enewman17 or anyone but I don't trust some of these modified roms for dirty flashing even if they simply add supersu, besides the rooted version of this rom already had issues before and had to be re-uploaded/updated on version H6 and also H8 was just now re-uploaded due to a corrupted file.

I have NEVER had such issues updating a rom when doing it this way, but anytime I ever dirty flashed a custom ROM, even ARHD as less modified as it was I would always have at least 1 bug/issue somewhere, whether poweramp recently added playlist gets wiped or some random system app vanishes, I used to try digitalhigh but went far away from it when I dirty flashed that rom and suddenly many apps were gone including Google Play Store and Services.

Flashing the Stock ROM should never give you issues because it is basically from HTC them selves, all it does is wipe system and write it then you wipe cache's manually like an official OTA does, but even a stock rom WITH root adds scripts to the TWRP installer that could cause an issue.

So no HTC did not mess up this update, I am a witness to this, its possible its an other bug in the rooted version of this rom :p
[One (M8) Android Development] alex2693836:
Can i dirty flash over h6 ? And which is the the correct process to dirty flash ? Thanks :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:

Try changing your cid to 11111111

In the op under the ruu tab in Changing the cid there is a list of what will work.
[One (M8) Android Development] LlamaLord:
Updated just fine and this fixed my weird MMS problem too!! Thanks! Also when we dirty flash should I wipe cache

Hey guys i flashed using fastboot an now i'm stuck on boot animation i forgot to reboot to HBoot and select factory reset, my phone wont power off stuck on boot animation? any help?

EDIT Sorted it :)
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Hold volume up and power till it reboots, about 10 seconds, immediately press volume down and power til you see the bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] David_UK:
Exactly what i did thanks lol :)
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
It's a system app, it always has been. Maybe you had deleted, disabled or frozen the app in the past... I assume you noticed because it was updated in the store. Either way your seeing it because it's a system app.
[One (M8) Android Development] David_UK:

[One (M8) Android Development] alex2693836:

... and the firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] alex2693836:
Im on lollipop firmware and i dirty flash the h8 over the h6
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
I have had that issue on Lollipop stock unrooted ROM also which in fact got fixed with future updates from Htc. The same issues are being faced by Marshmallow users too. So, speaking with experience, I guess, Htc must not have optimized quite a few things in Marshmallow yet like those came with Lollipop.
[One (M8) Android Development] msgfromside3:
Has anyone been able to sideload H8 release from unrooted M release zip? I keep getting the build fingerprint mismatch. I checked build.prop and it looks I have the expected one, but the update script keeps on finding mine as htc/m8_google/htc_m8:5.1/LMY470.H9/666666. :(

EDIT: I am dumb. I flashed the wrong stock recovery. Looking for the proper stock recovery...
[One (M8) Android Development] rodbacon:
... and if you read the OP, you'll see that there is also a H8 firmware to go with the ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
The OP states that you don't have to be S-Off to flash the ROM. You do need to be to flash a firmware package that isn't an RUU.exe
[One (M8) Android Development] stavrosg:
This is exactly what I did and it worked for me.. Thanks for all the good work..
[One (M8) Android Development] MrTheenD:

and how to dirty flash this update plaese ?

From twrp ? Or stock recovery ?
[One (M8) Android Development] ayysir:
ota link fails to flash ...twrp 2.8.7
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
lol

I flash firmware all over. Converted to WWE (and flashed multiple firmwares from there, forward and backward) and GPE and Dev Ed.

Firmware flashing is pretty safe from good sources (I recommend [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION]'s firmware packages). The problems come when you flash firmware with a modified hboot with the red text warning removed. Those ones have the potential to mess up your hboot partition.
[One (M8) Android Development] qwerty12:
Does anyone else have problems with lagging when changing the volume? I have my headphones in, Poweramp running and when pressing the volume keys, the volume will adjust by the amount of times I hit the button - a few seconds later. I had the same problem with the initial 5.0 GPE release, but it solved itself with later GPE releases. I dirty-flashed H6 from the last 5.0 release and then H8 over that.

Running: H8

Mods: ElementalX, Viper4Android, Sense Camera and Xposed

Nope. V4A issue maybe? Anyway not the thread for discussing this.

Where did you get the sense camera app? Have the link?
[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
You can download the Sense Camera directly from apkmirror. It will install just fine as long as you have the HTC Service Pack installed. Also might want to install Sense Gallery as well.
[One (M8) Android Development] fBx:
Is there a flashable zip for that first Ota yet? And is there a fix in the meantime for having to select carrier at every boot that doesn't involve going s-off or installing ruu again?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

And is there anything to get out of dirty flashing the current build over?
[One (M8) Android Development] DROITURK182:
Htc camera on apk mirror is for htc one A9, no go want the one for M8 that uses duo camera. The gallery from the same site won't install at all. I guess I'm looking for the m8 camera and gallery from the MM dev update, side load or flashable zip.
[One (M8) Android Development] qwerty12:
I did it myself. I pulled the camera APK from the Sense Android 6 Wolla ROM (it was the cleanest dump I could find), ran it through APKTool, grepped for loadLibrary (following user _ that's advice) and then kept running ldd on the libraries and copying whatever was missing, excluding anything that ships with GPE (like the standard C library). Same for the gallery and Zoe video editor. I looked at DigitalHig h's GPE ROM and saw that he takes the files from /system/customize (I found out the hard way that a sense_version tag in default.xml will cause a bootloop under 6.0 GPE...) so I did the same.

I don't actually know if it uses the Duo Camera. It's the M8 camera app, but there's no special DC mode like I had in the Sense camera app that came with 4.4.3.

I'd upload it, but my ThinkPad's charging cable decided to snap today, leaving me computerless this weekend. If someone else doesn't do it, I'll upload what I have whenever I manage to get a new charger, presumably next week. (Sadly, I can't trust my phone to upload 300 MB [the Sense Weather animations are in the same ZIP] reliably.)

EDIT: Not uploading because it's already been done: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64406998&postcount=65

If you still want me to upload then, by all means, reply and let me know.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
No...just No. It installs and works just fine on the M8. It is not A9 specific.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co.../htc-camera-7-30-581119-android-apk-download/

In fact, I just installed it to re-verify for like the 100th time. This subject has been beaten to death in many other M8 GPE threads.

Further more, the Duo camera effect is a post effect. You need to use the FX Editor to apply it. That comes pre-installed on the GPE Ruu.

You should search a couple other threads. This has been discussed and resolved too many times to count.

It probably has some framework dependence. Also if you have an fc you need to learn how to pull and post logcats, otherwise don't post your issue. Plus your issue has nothing to do with the rom and ultimately shouldn't have been asked here.
[One (M8) Android Development] Taosaur:
Does anyone have any thoughts on why apps are unable to read or write on my internal storage? Even root explorers just see a big lump of "system files." Apps will install, but they can't create folders or anything, or see existing files. TWRP's file manager can still see the files from recovery. I updated firmware via h-boot and flashed the rooted zip via TWRP. I tried it with and without full wipes, but had the same results.
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Everything works fine just as it should. Thanks graffixnyc and the other guys. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the System UI Tuner. I have developer options enabled. I did an OTA Update this morning and if I tap and hold the gear (for 10 sec or so) it doesn't spin. Am I just too stupid to hold it or isn't it implemented in the m8 version?:confused:

Thanks in advance :D

PS: I won't go back to sense ever. It's a nice UI but HTC takes forever to update the stock ROM to Marshmallow. It's almost been a year. You gotta love S-Off.

Stock recoveries can be found in my AFH repository, link in in the OP under firmware.

1. No flashable zip for the first OTA. I'm not going to upload modified OTA's too many things could go wrong for inexperienced users. Plus if your experienced enough it's actually really easy to do yourself. But I'm not going to go into details on how to do it.

2. Not sure why or how to fix your issue with having to select your carrier every reboot.

3. The latest build contains the latest security updates for December, whatever they might be. I'm sure its worth updating if your big on security.

Can I flash a sense firmware on a gpe converted device?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
You can as long as you remove the hboot from the zip first otherwise you should convert back to sense first so you get the extra gig and a half back in your /system
[One (M8) Android Development] Zile995:
No, you can't. GPE system partition is small for sense :)

EDIT: enewman already answered, sorry :)
[One (M8) Android Development] rewen:
In my experience it's smooth, but not as smooth as Sense. Most won't notice, though.

Fluidity:

Stock 5.x > GPe 6.x > GPe 5.x

Consistency:

Stock 5.x > GPe 6.x > GPe 5.x

Battery life:

Stock 5.x > GPe 6.x > GPe 5.x

I played with Stock 5.x and GPe 6.x side-by-side, and while GPe is smooth, it's definitely more prone to stutters and delays compared to stock. I've been on GPe 6.x since the day it arrived and just a few days ago I used my wife's stock m8 for something, and it hit me pretty hard, noticing how much more consistent and fluid hers felt. I'm pretty sure stock battery life is also better than GPe 6.x although not that much better. GPe 5.x had much worse battery life.

I'm hoping to find a sense kernel or something to use on GPe 6.x.. maybe that will help.
