The GPE camera app seems really old, and I can't update it in the play store. Is it because it's proprietary to the duo camera software?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
We have the latest Google camera app that is available to us version 2.7. Google camera version 4.0+ only works with nougut 7.1

apkmirror.com has the lastest apps.

Awesome, thanks. I have a work conference all next week so when I get back, I'll get to flashing this.

Hi everyone, I installed this ROM on an International M8 without converting to GPE partition (did the wipe before installing). Everything is smooth for now.

However, when I put the phone in DND mode, it still vibrates when I press the back or home key. Is this a normal behavior ?
[One (M8) Android Development] HypostaticOnion:
Yes
[One (M8) Android Development] Sonick87:
Do you know if there is any Xposed module or other software which disables vibration while in DND mode? I tried 'True Silent Mode' but it did not work.

Is there any noticeable hit on performance with encryption?
[One (M8) Android Development] thelangosta:
I wondered this as well. Seems like boot should take much longer.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Why would boot take longer?
[One (M8) Android Development] thelangosta:
Just seems like it should. When does the system do the actual encryption?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
It only encrypts once - when you select the option to encrypt in Settings. On subsequent boots the device is either automatically decrypted or decrypted when you enter your password on boot - it takes no more (noticeable) time than it does with an unencrypted device.
[One (M8) Android Development] thelangosta:
Cool, thanks for the knowledge.
[One (M8) Android Development] HypostaticOnion:
What about up time? Any noticeable difference in regular usage? I'm thinking about trying it out. Never encrypted before.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I've never noticed any real performance difference, but I'm a terrible person to ask, lol. I really don't take much note of performance-type issues.
[One (M8) Android Development] SirAugustine:
Can I install 6.0.1 Dex2oat through the Aroma installer and then later through TWRP flash the SDK for Xposed without there being conflicts? I see that it says there's conflicts if you install 6.0.1 Dex2oat after Xposed but it doesn't say if you do it before Xposed.
[One (M8) Android Development] taymo:
Which carrier option should I select in Aroma if I am using a Verizon M8 with Straighttalk?
[One (M8) Android Development] SirAugustine:
Isn't there an option for having a Verizon device but it's unlocked and on a different network? I remember that being an option for CDMA devices. I'm pretty sure there was the same for GSM devices.
[One (M8) Android Development] taymo:
Yes, I've tried that to no avail... I can send texts and call but no data connection.
[One (M8) Android Development] SirAugustine:
I don't know what to tell you then sadly. That's all I know.
[One (M8) Android Development] HypostaticOnion:
Have you tried changing the apns in the settings?
[One (M8) Android Development] taymo:
Yes, I called StraightTalk and they gave me the correct apn settings for my area and this gave me data but, I only have 3G. On the ViperOne rom I had full 4G LTE. I love this stock rom but, with the lack of a full data connection I'm throwing money down the drain for my service. I guess us StraightTalk customers are at the bottom of the barrel tho...

Boomsound

I know some people, including myself, cannot get boomsound to work when using the flashable ROM. Turning it on and off in the settings does nothing. Flashing different adsp firmware hasn't worked, etc.

Well, I have discovered a foolproof method to get it working.

Please note, I have only tested this with verizon m8's. Therefore, I do not know if this method works with other carrier m8's, but it might.

1. Flash your device with the GPE flashable ROM. Boot and complete setup. (if already running the GPE flashable rom, skip to step 2)

2. Reboot to recovery and make a full backup, backing up all partitions.

3. Flash any other ROM and boot. I tested this with cm/linegae, viper one, and s-rom (i recommend cm/lineage due to their much faster first boot).

4. Grab firmware package for your device. Search master VZW ruu thread by dottat. Download the marshmallow firmware pack with no boot/no recovery from 6.0 s off thread and flash via SD card ruu method (0p6bimg.zip file on sd card method). Note: if not verizon, find the firmware files for your carrier.

5. Boot back in to whatever ROM you flashed, and delete the ruu firmware file so you can get back into recovery. (or just remove the SD card with the 0p6bimg.zip file)

6. Boot to recovery and restore your backup of the GPE ROM made in step 2.

7. Boot and enjoy working boomsound.

What's the change in installer v6 from 02/08/17?
[One (M8) Android Development] deoliveiranv:
V6????
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Oh yeah... I updated Magisk to v11 remove phh superuser cause Magisk is its own rooting solution now. That was it.
[One (M8) Android Development] saiz136:
Wow, nice work and I'm guessing these are for those who have S-OFF devices right? Can we have a nandroid backup for this?
[One (M8) Android Development] Game-R:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I tried searching this thread and found no answers to my question:

Is there any limitation of the flashable ROM that prevents me moving any app to the SD Card?

Yes, I know of Nougat's "Change" button in the "Storage" details of the app as I've been trying a few ROMs before this. I know the extra convoluted steps Google has put there to discourage us doing so.

But there is no "Change" button doesn't appear at all. Even the "Storage Used" section is missing.

My SD card has been formated as portable storage already.

I've installed apps like App2SD and AppMgr III which are popping up notifications telling me that newly updated apps could be moved to the SD card. But selecting that notification and going back to the "Storage" details of the app brings me back to square one: a page with "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache" buttons but no "Change" button!

The only thing I can think of that is preventing me from doing so is this GPE ROM itself.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
With Android marshmallow what your wanting to do doesn't work unless the sd-card is formatted for internal storage. You don't get certain options like apps to SD when you use the sd-card as portable storage. So it's not really the ROM, it's just how it works in Android 6.0. Hope that clears things up.
[One (M8) Android Development] Game-R:
That can't be possible. I have just came from HTC's 6.0 stock ROM and I was able to move my apps to the SD card.

I believe you got it mixed up: If I format my SD card as an 'internal storage' I lose the ability to move apps because the phone disables its own storage and starts using the SD card as its "internal" (and only) storage available.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
HTC's "Move to SD" feature isn't a stock Android feature - it's actually a modification by HTC. That's why it's only available on Sense and not GPE.

EDIT: But I'm looking at my stock Sense ROM and I don't see the option you're referring to to move apps to SD Card? Are you sure you're running Marshmallow?
[One (M8) Android Development] Game-R:
Yes, I received the 6.0 ROM update OTA.

Have you tried checking if the app you're focused on in the Storage page is "moveable"?

I find it odd that Marshmallow forbids moving apps to the SD card yet the "Move2SD" apps are still out there marked as compatible for M and still able to detect which apps could be moved.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
There isn't an option anywhere to move an app to SD. In older versions of Android there was, but not in Marshmallow. Do you have a screenshot of this option in Settings?
[One (M8) Android Development] Game-R:
Unfortunately, no. I've lost the stock ROM when its battery ran dead during a flight and somehow bricked the phone. I flashed the GPE ROM here without any backup.

i have downloaded the flashable gpe rom and install it successfully on my gpe device cid-11111111 but the devices keeps booting to fasboot loop and wont start the os .. help pleas .
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
You have an actually GPE device? Usually the reason it keeps booting to fastboot is wrong boot.img like selecting the GSM device during install instead of CDMA even though you're using it on a GSM network.
[One (M8) Android Development] kirkuk:
Thank u so much bro . Yes I've discovered that my device variants is Verizon and I was selecting GSM devices as you said while installing the rom because my device is unlocked and I was afraid of losing the radio that's why I was selecting GSM devices . If I select CDMA is there a chance of losing the radio ? I will try to install it using CDMA devices and see how it goes .
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Just use the second opinion which is CDMA device on GSM network and everything will be fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] kirkuk:
I will do that and let know thanks anyway .

But what if i edit the android-info text file in both ruu and firmware and enter my sprint mid ?

I tried flashing the firmware but the modelid did not match so it failed....any help is appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The radio firmware in the GPE RUU is incompatible with Sprint devices. So like I said, just use the ROM. There won't be any additional updates to it anyway, so there's really no advantage to using the RUU at this point.
[One (M8) Android Development] rickyrock:
The thing is am not rooted and have a locked bootloader with s-off so i just wanted to install with ruu. But even if i update with the zip how can i install the GPe firmware since my mid does not match ? Wanna update firmware cuz it states that there could be false battery % issues...

And could you also tell me how the radio is incompatible with sprint ? I am already running a gsm sim on it though without any issues
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Remove the radio.img from the zip(s), and add your MID to android-info.txt. Then you should be able to flash them, and still have working signal.

EDIT: The GSM radio firmware will break signal/data on a Sprint device.
[One (M8) Android Development] rickyrock:

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Well it seems like your edit didn't take. Can you post the contents of your android-info.txt? How are you editing the file? You have to use an editor like Notepad++ that supports Unix line endings - otherwise the line breaks will get broken.
[One (M8) Android Development] rickyrock:
Nevermind i fixed the issue and yeah you are right, it was due to improper editing. Fixed it by editing with Notepad++. Thanks a a lot....The RUU is installing now.....:D

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

hey i installed the RUU and i rebooted to fastboot but it does not open recovery when i try to open it. It just shows me the google logo and then comes back to the fastboot menu. Shall i boot the system ? i wanted to do factory reset just as is mentioned in the op.

i tried booting the system but it just comes back to fastboot. PLss help ..
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Oh right, you'll have to download the ROM and fastboot flash the boot.img for CDMA devices from it. The stock boot.img won't boot on a Sprint device.

P.S. Neither will the recovery.img, so you might as well just download and flash the latest TWRP - you can factory reset from in there.

P.P.S. There's a reason I said to just flash the ROM...now you're understanding why ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] rickyrock:
You are probably right but I have booted successfully​ using the Sprint stock marshmallow firmware. So far so good. Thanks a lot though.:) But how do I know if battery is not properly calibrated ?
[One (M8) Android Development] HumphreyM:
Are Marshmellow OTA updates still happening?

So, are OTA updates still be given for the M8 by Google/HTC?

Most comments on this thread are about whether a particular change will break OTA updates, but I can't work out if this is still an issue or not?

Also, if there are no longer OTA updates coming, does anybody know of a ROM exactly the same as this one, but without all of the apps that can be installed from Google Play? I'd like to get my /system partition down to as small as possible.

Thanks!!
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The M8 is EOL. No more OTA updates. When you talk about reducing the contents of your system partition, you do realize that by deleting apps, it doesn't make the partition smaller, right? It'll just have more unused space, which seems a bit pointless. You can't reclaim that space to use for data apps or anything (just stating this in case you didn't realize it). You'd have to search around the forum for other GPE ROMs and see what customization features they offer. Or you can just root and use an app to uninstall system apps, since OTA updates are no longer a concern.
[One (M8) Android Development] HumphreyM:
Thanks Captain_Throwback! That is good to know.

Yes, I'm aware that removing system apps doesn't free up space. However, as soon as I install this rom, the system does updates to all of them, which takes up much space in my data partition. So, if I was able to not have them there, then I wouldn't have the "updated" version taking up space on my phone.

--

So, the big problem I have is that I have a /system/ partition taking up 2.6gb of space, but this ROM only needs 1gb. Therefore, I need to be able to do the RUU version, which means I need S-OFF. However, after trying lots of things, and reading lots of forum posts, it seems that this isn't possible anymore.

Has anybody been able to achieve S-OFF in the past few months, so I can use the RUU as described in this post? It looks like it was easy when the phone was first released, but not so now.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You don't have to install the updates. You can just disable the apps, and then the updates won't happen. Then they're not taking up your precious space. You can use Sunshine (theroot.ninja) for S-OFF.
[One (M8) Android Development] HumphreyM:
Arh yes, I forgot about that! Thanks! I'm used to using my carrier's ROM, that didn't allow me to disable any of their apps.

I had tried SunShine twice a couple of nights ago. I even tried doing it from a few different ROM's... but after you suggested it, I tried it again, and it worked! I've got no idea what I did different this time.

Now to have some RUU Fun :)
[One (M8) Android Development] muftiazan:
I used the sense camera in OP and all works fine but there is no option to save to external storage. Is there any apk that gives all features like the one in op and allows to save to sdcard?
[One (M8) Android Development] HumphreyM:
I searched for this yesterday. Generally, it sounds like Stock (Google provided ROMs) don't allow saving photos straight to SD card. I am interested to see if anybody has solved this problem yet. Mostly because my best solution so far is to write a really tiny app that will monitor the internal photos folder, and move files to my sd-card.
[One (M8) Android Development] ishemes:
I have a Tasker task that does just that. It moves all photos older than a month to my SD card. You can change it to move all photos or whatever you want.

AT&T for convert from ruu

Hi,

I read through the thread but really couldn't find a definitive answer.

I have an AT&T m8 that was running ARHD. Recently converted to Gpe and got All available OTA updates.

Noticing Less than spectacular cellular speeds and connection quality....

Could someone please help with the following questions?

1) does the GPE RUU flash a new radio?

2) Does at&t require custom radio?

3) where can I get this radio IMG?

4) is it only one IMG or are there some consecutive flashes that need to be made? Incremental?

5) I read in a forum that there may still be OTA security updates in the future, would flashing an AT&T radio stop the OTA?

Thanks to everyone!
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
I don't know why but I too have noticed that data speeds do seem to be slower on AT&T with GPE but I haven't noticed any issue with connectivity in my area at least.

1) does the GPE RUU flash a new radio?

Yes

2) Does at&t require custom radio?

No

3) where can I get this radio IMG?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2pYqG5OJVYRmNqaXpmNERsOEk/view?usp=sharing

4) is it only one IMG or are there some consecutive flashes that need to be made? Incremental?

It would be a single flash, I would use the old AT&T radio 4.28.502.2 the new 6.20.502.5 will result in a loss of actual phone service.

5) I read in a forum that there may still be OTA security updates in the future, would flashing an AT&T radio stop the OTA?

It probably won't have any affect on OTA's. If we do actually get another one then it would just over write it, chances are the radio won't get updated anyway as the last update to the radio was with the initial release of 5.0
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancaster84:
Could you please explain? Is the 6.20 actually bad?

Thanks again for the help.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancaster84:
well I was able to successfully flash the radio you gave via the RUU mode.

I have tried it and it does seem a little more stable.

I am still curious about possibly using the newer revision ATT radio img.... please let me know your thoughts.

I have also tried different CIDs t see if it affects performance ( im guessing through my ignorance as i suspect it has no real relation).

I have not seen any difference, even when using the ATT regular CWS__001. so now I am back to GOOGL001.

Please let me know if you have any further advice to possibly improve cellular quality and thanks again for the help.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Well... Changing the cid won't have any affect on the phones performance, it's simply a check for flashing ruu's.

With the new AT&T radio it was updated for VoIP which gpe doesn't support so it results in a loss of phone service. Check the op under the flashable ROM tab there is a section about it.

I also have AT&T, I flashed the old radio before I posted it and I didn't notice any improvement really, speeds marginally improved. I never had any issues with signal strength unless I were in say giant steel and concrete buildings... But I normally would have service were people with Verizon or T-Mobile would not. Not really sure what else you could try, I don't think using sense ril.lib's would improve anything or not... I'll try and pull some stuff this weekend, I'll post it if it seems to work.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancaster84:
Thanks for the help. I think I'm probably looking for performance that isn't possible now due to my area.
