Now this is just insane! Even with Doze disabled, its like having a totally different phone compared Lollipop on this same phone, Lollipop was simply **** in battery life, now it feels good like Kitkat again!

At 6:45 AM I woke up and unplugged my phone and went to work, on my way to work I listened to Poweramp for about 25-30 minutes while driving in traffic, left my phone alone for a while, working hard, around 10:20 or so I used it to check Facebook for a while, watched a quick video, left my phone alone again until lunch time, at 11:50 AM I started checking things like Facebook again on my phone and noticed my battery stats saying this crazy result!

The weird thing is Poweramp isn't even being registered on the battery stats, such a low impact it didn't mention it until later on, Chrome as well, I use Chrome for Facebook as the Facebook app is horribly coded and drains battery.

This is just crazy! I know its not going to be true in real time but on Lollipop the record it has "calculated" was only 2 days.

I been texting all this evening, poweramp again leaving work, to Fry's Electronics, to QT and now to home, its 9:07 PM and my battery is at 87%.
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
Even i have observed similar battery efficiency. In lollipop, i had greenified tonnes of apps to achieve decent battery life that last the entire day. There is the difference that lies here where i haven't even touched greenify and can see similar battery stats. Don't know what will happen when the actual optimization of apps start [emoji23]

Performance has greatly improved too.

I guess its safe to say that Lollipop is the Windows Vista/8 for Android, it comes with a new look like Vista did, but with bugs(even though 5.1 is better) and some performance issues, and uncontrollable/out of control battery drains like Vista/8 did!! Marshmallow is like Windows 7/10 haha

Just wondering, as I used Ruu to convert to this senseless version, can I still go back to my Sense again? ?
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
You can. You need to flash a sense RUU for converting back to sense. OP has everything mentioned. Please go through them.
[One (M8) Android Development] sunnycee:
OK thanks, but they were saying something about different partitioning sizes b/w GPE and Sense, making it look impossible of sort. I also tried installing an HTC Tmobile 5.0 RUU it failed (although my device is super CID)
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
Partitioning sizes of gpe and sense are different which is restored to the required amount by either flashing the sense or gpe ruu.

I dont think i would matter whether you are on supercid or not if you are flashing the ruu. RUU restores your phone back to your stock unrooted ROM.

great guide, i menaged to flash it with fastboot.

a dumb question: if i stay with the m8 gpe edition (with your ruu) am i able to get updates immidiately just like the nexus devices when 6.1 comes ?

gpe edition devices are supported by google or htc?

thansk !
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
Sources are provided by google which is modified by htc according to their needs.

You won't get the updates at the same time as nexus devices unless and until hc releases them. But the updates will be quite fast as compared to other phones or the sense version of m8.

I seem to be unable to connect to any 5ghz wifi networks. I only noticed it now, so I'm not sure if this started after the GPE 6.0 conversion. Anybody able to see 5ghz networks?

I even tried switching to 5ghz only in advanced settings, but my wifi list remains empty. Even after scanning for a few minutes.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
In order for OTA updates to work, you must not be rooted, no modifications to your phone like TWRP Recovery and if I'm not mistaken your bootloader must be locked, not sure on this device but OTA's failed on my old Nexus 4 with bootloader unlocked, however you should know that now you are on GPE the HBOOT is different so you can now lock and unlock your bootloader easily like a Nexus device without needing the HTC unlock code crap.

Also your CID must be "GOOGL001" and keep your phone S-OFF, never ever go back S-ON, it will not affect OTA's.

Now here is my opinion to you, I think you should just go the root route and not worry about OTA's, but why? Because smartphones usually have a 2 year manufacturer software update support system and this phone was released "March 25, 2014" so it will be 2 years in only a few months.

I don't expect anymore major updates for this phone anymore already, maybe some bug fix updates like maybe a 6.0.1 or a HTC H9 or H10 new build number maybe which can be dirty flashed in TWRP, I my self have Marshmallow rooted with Xposed and Gravitybox and plan on keeping this phone until maybe at least 2017.

Also one last thing I made This Bootsplash to make are phones feel a little slightly more updated, more like the new Nexus devices, just flash in TWRP and as long as you don't run a RUU, it stays forever :D

EDIT: I almost forgot Android Pay is hard to get working on a rooted device, but if you are not going to use it then it doesn't matter
[One (M8) Android Development] mattie_49:
I can ruu stock on my m8 and as long as you have Android stock recovery ,it will accept ota's and install properly with root. And I'm also s-off that doesn't matter either. At least Verizon it does not.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Oh I see, I did not know that, I thought OTA's fail even if 1 little file is different on /System, that was known information with Lollipop that OTA's were now treated different and 1 byte off and the OTA will fail, even on my old Nexus 4 before I gave it away to my dad he complained that the OTA to Lollipop would always fail even though I restored the phone manually with the correct Stock Recovery and Stock ROM but 1 byte was off some where I guess so I had to run a Factory Image of Kitkat to test and see if Lollipop OTA would succeed, which it then did just fine.

[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
If you dirty flashed from Lollipop you may need to clean flash, otherwise try wiping cache and dalvik cache, if that doesn't work then wipe app data for apps you are having issues with, Facebook for example sucks regardless so you may need to completely reinstall that app from Play Store.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Wut?

When you run an RUU, it replaces the recovery to stock. Also, you will be unrooted.

After RUU (with S-Off so you don't need to relock bootloader), you need to reflash TWRP, then install SU or flash a rooted ROM for root.

Hey guys.. All the going back to sense posts are getting to be too much and really are off topic. Maybe someone should create a how to thread in the general section for all the posts about going back to sense. It would also benefit users that have real gpe devices that might want to run sense roms.

If you are using the full GPE (partitions and all) then you can use the systemless approach.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/root-root-marshmallow-gpe-supersu-t3242210

make sure for the full GPE method you do the following (note the filenames carefully).

Systemless:

Be sure you haven't used any other root method(like the traditional one above), if you've rooted with other methods, please re-flash your system back to pure stock

Flash m8-mmgpe-su-boot-systemless.zip in attachment with TWRP

Download SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip in this thread, and flash it through TWRP

Important!! Please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in bootloop.

Also, if you flash any non-stock kernels, such as ElementalX and LonelyX, then make sure you re-apply the systemless root procedure again. You can do this right after you install the kernel, before reboot.

I'm getting much better battery life using ElementalX, all defaults stock and dot view and gboost disabled.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
Just saying but systemless root is completely pointless if you use ElementalX, you modified system anyways! regardless systemless root is pointless for anything really, its just an experiment and I don't understand why people think they should switch to it as if its the only new way to do it!

Traditional is still available for MM and its more stable, the SuperSU version is Beta yes, the app it self, but systemless is completely experimental! buggy and certain people simply can't get there phone to boot with it.

Most users would agree, what's the point of systemless root if "some" users are going to install xposed anyways? which modifies system, or if you flash some kind of mod, or install some simple mod like "close all recent apps button" in the "Recents" menu, even that modifies system! so what's the point?

The only way I understand systemless root is some what useful is if you use root ONLY for a temporary app which is easily uninstallable, like for example Greenify, or maybe even Viper4android, but installing the driver will modify system.

Systemless root can cause OTA's to work correctly? possibly if you use greenify only or similar apps, but even V4A modifies system, and as long as system is modified even 1 byte, then the OTA will fail, because its my understanding ever sense Lollipop a check is run to ensure everything is ok on /System and if its 1 byte off, the OTA checker will fail, even XDA reported this in there news when Lollipop was new.

No argument here, but this has been my rant :p hopefully most users will understand the point I am trying to get across including you [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION]

Just saying but even flar2 agrees, he has no plans to "fully" support this systemless root because a new kernel modifies system anyways.

When the ruu first came out, I used systemless root to restore my apps via tibu but leave system alone so I could get ota later... Since I can't speak volumes over gpe battery life, I was getting 5+ hours on lollipop, I decided to let ota go and try the kernels. Guess I never switched back to the original method.

[MENTION=5110913]Viper4713[/MENTION] I've seen a lot of people complaining about the audio quality after 6.0. Is this something you personally have noticed?
[One (M8) Android Development] enerGy:
The quality has went down and volume is lower but with [MENTION=5110913]Viper4713[/MENTION]'s V4A and dragon-fi flashed correctly you forget about it ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] n1234d:
So is this for the speakers or earphones? And what do you mean by the quality went down? Is it just the boomsound eq that doesn't work? Because I like my music without an eq or a very slight eq, and I never used the boomsound eq ever. I've flashed the h/k mod and never looked back.

Tl;dr I am very satisfied with lollipop sense with h/k mod. Do the speakers and earphones sound the same Without any eq?
[One (M8) Android Development] enerGy:
Works for both and you can adjust it to your preferred sound liking. I dont know wether its because MM's sound is so low now and thats making the quality sound less or its just worse in general. This of course is just my opinion bro ;) [MENTION=5110913]Viper4713[/MENTION] could answer and help more hes good with the audio side of things :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
From what I experienced, the sound volume is the same, the quality is the same, sometimes the volume is louder, like for example the screen lock sound is really loud now, but I think it's just the audio file for screen lock honestly.

[MENTION=6832255]Game0vr[/MENTION] is correct, I use dragon-fi(system files only, no Dolby) and have no problem, but even before I didn't notice a problem, I feel some users mentioning audio issues could be firmware related or something, think about all the users who fail to update there firmware and say "my WiFi doesn't work when screen is off, help meeee!!"

But they don't figure out they are using KitKat Firmware on Lollipop ROM for example, because I have noticed no issues and some users say "nothing wrong here either" while someone else says "volume is low!!! Had to glue my phone to my head to hear it!!"

EDIT: Yes so Dragon-Fi can fix the issue for those users having the problem.
