[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Someone pointed out a root app free in playstore called AFFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. I guess it overrides all the Kit Kat permission to allow ANY app to install on external sd card and I then assume move files from internal to external and vice versa? My only fear is with all I have installed already (s-off, full root, cwm, unlocked kernal) I just don't want to install tweaks that override one another and screw up my device?

Trying to be as safe as possible here with what root tweaks and exposed stuff I install. Would u then just recommend the exposed tweak?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] erikjonpeterson:
I'm in the same boat and so far I've had no issues. You can always uninstall it if it gets wonky.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I apologize stupid me getting ahead of myself. Duh, I'm not using a root explorer. I downloaded root explorer and was able to move zip file from internal to external no problem. Just asked for SU to grant and then did it. Geez, little slow today.

Xposed works perfectly to enable write to external SD. If you've never used Xposed before here's the Tutorial Thread for the framework (modules have their own support threads and Q & A threads): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Download the XPosed framework installer, open the app.

install/update the framework, select cancel when it asks you to reboot (So you don't have to reboot twice)

navigate back then tap "Download" for modules. You should see the module "Handle External Storage or you can just search it.

Download the module

Check the box for the module

Reboot now everything should work.

And the best file explorer for me is FX file explorer. Just an incredible UI in my opinion. File movement happens in the background so you can keep working. My favorite file manager hands down.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] erikjonpeterson:
Interesting because I have S-off, root, CWM and unsecure boot and us es file manager and can't transfer to external unless I use the xposed mod.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Probably cuz es file explorer doesn't use root. This is what I think but who knows. I would think will all the above installed we don't need half these exposed tweaks but guess not?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] erikjonpeterson:
Actually it does. You need to activate root in settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] refuse2bstopped:
Not sure anyone answered this but you have to move files in storage manager which is in settings. Settings >storage manager >make more space (under the internal storage section) which allows you delete files or move them to the external sd card. But I'm sure this has been answered somewhere by now in another thread.
[One (M8) Accessories] psycoblaster:
I currently have the M7, and it's not working nicely with bluetooth gamepads due to Sense not being that friendly with bluetooth. I remember when I bought this M7 from a guy from craigslist almost an year ago, he traded his device for my S4 because the bluetooth wouldn't play nice with his car audio.

I'm going to make my next purchase this week, and it's going to be the S5 or the M8, although I'm more inclined towards the M8.

If the M8 doesn't support gamepads without root, it's going to really be a dealbreaker because I love playing emulated games while taking my 1 hour bus ride to work/to home every day.

Additionally, I've read from a post that BT keyboards which didn't work with the M7 work with the M8, so I'm raising my hopes up.

I have a Phonejoy Play that I received from Kickstarter, and I'm looking forward to use it on my next device.

People! just to share my experience. If you do not have a router at home and want to access the internet on your HTC device. Use a linux box and set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). The results are more than impressive.

I started by using the same PC running Windows XP, but when I swtiched to Linux, the connection has bee VERY fast, and I havent had to restart the host at all.

Need help on how to do that? I'm putting together a little Manual... should be up in a short while.

Hi,

I have been searching XDA for the last couple of Hours in an effort to find a way to root my phone which is running Android 4.4.2 and with the NB1 baseband. I have come across a couple of threads but nothing I would find definitive. I was wondering if anybody had a known way to Root the phone without Downgrading and losing Wifi by going to the MK2.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] OreBoySwaggin:
I have just a few questions for the M8, I'm really looking into it, I want it to be my new m8.

First and most important, does it have wifi calling?

Second, will tmo release say a 64gb?

Third, if I want to get a different color, or 64gb, can I get a dev edition, and flash tmos firmware? Will all the radios work, or will like it be like with the m7 and will I lose out on 4G (not LTE but between the 3G and LTE, I think it's WCDMA) this would be great help, my S4 is getting to me.

Thanks for the help :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] chrisram88:
1. All tmo branded phones will and do havebl WiFi calling

2. Who knows

3. If you want a different color other than gun metal then you will have to go with dev or unlocked edition. Dev edition gets lte but not 4g unless you are in a reallocated area. I'm not sure about unlocked edition.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] OreBoySwaggin:
Thank you ^_^ I think 32gb will be fine, I've got a 64gb SD Card, but the more internal storage, the better, I'm always running low on my internal.

My little brother getting his first smart phone and he's tempted by an iphone 4s offer under an ATT contract.

I'm trying to convince him to bring his own device under tmo to get a better deal in the long run..

Looking for a recommendation for a decent android around the same size as an iphone 4. He wants the smaller form factor, even though he has a big hand. Maybe I'll convince him otherwise.

I was thinking moto x maybe, galaxy light? htc one mini might be a stretch on size to convince him.

But I'll take any opinions and arguments for your choice.

[Ornate TrueSmart] StrongTexan:
Loki,

Sorry to bother you with this, I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Device: 1900 1/8 TrueSmart

ROM/Firmware version: EnSec20140318

Baseband: MOLY.WR8.W135.MD.WG.MP.V4.P1 ,2013/11/09 14:19

Changes made to stock firmware (if any): Installed EnSec20140318, then installed Operative 2014031 and then attempted to change back EnSec20140318 all using your java script.

What OS is on your PC if your PC was used: Windows 7

Issue: Still booting to Operative boot screen with Win8 launcher / Smart Launcher after loading EnSec20140318

Steps Taken: When booted to TWRP did a full wipe and tried again. ROM is showing EnSec20140318, but it still looks/acts like Operative 2014031.

As awesome as Operative 2014031 is, I am finding out that I am more of a stock ROM kinda guy. I originally loaded EnSec20140318 for a day and played with it. Then I loaded Operative 2014031 and had no issues. After two days I decided I would like to go back to stock at least for now. Everything seemed to work fine when I tried to switch, but even though I see EnSec20140318 listed as the ROM, I am still seeing the Operative 2014031 boot screen and launcher options. I tried a second time and did a full wipe at the TWRP menu and am having the same issues.

I would be grateful if you could help be get back to the "stock" launcher. Thanks again for your contributions to the TS community!
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
OUI v1 is nothing more than the stock Android launcher with a 2x2 grid and the dock hidden.

OUI v2 is yet another modified launcher.

You would be much better served by picking a decent launcher and hiding the dock and setting it to a 2x2 grid. Another option is to go to that "Removed" folder that the patch created and installing OUI2 which is in Removed/system/app

The option that directly relates to what you are asking requires you flash stock firmware then run the patch again and choose EnSec this time. I personally do not recommend EnSec over Operative due to the over 150MB of junk left in that also eats up RAM and battery. For example, Facebook runs in the background at all times even if you never use it and eats up around 60MB of RAM for no reason.
[Ornate TrueSmart] vikemosabe:
I was thinking of going back to stock as well because I plan to only use it as a companion.

Come to find out the companion app won't run on Operative.

Any other options I'm missing besides these two:

Go back to stock and have bloat + companion app.

Stay on Operative and not have companion.

Thanks
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
[MENTION=5533547]vikemosabe[/MENTION]

The companion app runs on TrueSmart Operative 20140318. I'm running it right now. The only issue I've found is the known issue with BT but that affects stock as well. The companion app will however not run on x201 EnSec or x201 Operative.

Titanium Backup is the best solution.

It can Backup both app and its data so when your GF will flash new ROM, she can install Titanium Backup and restore old game files.

Also copy Titanium backup folder from /sdcard to computer for safety if internal storage is formatted.

*** Also make safety backups with Ultimate Backup in addition to Titanium Backup because sometimes TiBu does not work. ***

Get both Titanium Backup and Ultimate Backup from Play Store.

You have to put the state/country map folder in the root of either main memory or a storage card. TT will not see maps in directories deeper than that. I keep mine in \Storage Card\State1-Map, \Storage Card\State2-Map, and so forth.

same problem with TomTom but FIXED IT NOW

Had the same error {map not found} thought it was TomTom error so i bought Destinator (excellent software) but the problem was identical.

So bought a new storage card Contacted Qtek about it:

"Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.".

So put in a 45x speed 2GB SD card and still the same problems.

Contacted Microsoft and they gave me a hint:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q277/7/42.ASP

Finaly all works perfect now running Destinator 6 & Navigon 5.2.6

SO ALLWAYS CREATE FOLLOWING FOLDER ON STORAGE CARD

Storage Card\My Documents

You do not have to have any files in this folder (mine is empty)

please let me know if this solved your problem

Download the file that you want to flash, rename it to what it is, ie recovery.img and put it on the root of your sdcard

su
dd if=/sdcard/"FILE_YOU_PUT_ON_SDCARD" of=/dev/block/"PARTITION_NUMBER"

Example

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43

Reboot and you are good to go!

probably drivers.

check device manager and make sure you have a proper driver loaded

fastboot devices should show your device.

If your on windows 8/8.1 it has trouble with fastboot on older hboot versions. ADB works fine but fastboot doesn't work. I think newer hboot's resolve this so it will work after the update.
