Reporting Bugs:

I have a limited amount of time, and there are a TON of posts made to this thread asking for help. I try to answer as many as I can, but sometimes the questions are so redundant or vague - it's not worth my time. To avoid being one of these posts...do the following...

Since this is now a multicarrier ROM, the number of variables involved in solving some issues has increased threefold. If you are reporting an issue, is is going to be very beneficial to both you and I to let me know a few things. What version of this ROM did you flash (post the filename), carrier you're on, what firmware you're using, what kernel you installed, and if you did a dirty flash or restored apps with TiBu.

Also,

I'm a big fan of logcats, especially when it's an issue that can't be easily reproduced. As this is basically a vanilla ROM, the issues should be minimal, but if you do have a problem that can't be easily reproduced, then you need to post a logcat, or I may ignore you or say something snarky instead of providing assistance. Obviously, a description of the issue and how to reproduce it help as well. Saying "my phone dun not work" isn't going to help.

Now, read below and see if your question has already been answered.

Common Issues/FAQ

My wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep.

Flash the firmware in the OP.

GPS Isn't working(GPS ISSUES)

Flash a stock sense ROM.

Get a GPS lock. (gps only) - You can verify this using GPS Toolbox.

Reboot to recovery.

Flash my ROM.

This doesn't always work on the first try, but once you fix it, it should stay fixed. I've personally had to try like three or four times to get it to stick...but then it's flawless.

Update: People have also reported success by flashing sense - copying gps.conf from /system/etc, flashing back to GPE, and then putting gps.conf back into /system/etc.

What does kernel XXX do?

Look here.

What's this firmware?

It is the wifi, chipset, touchscreen, sensorhub, and adsp (sound) firmware from the official 5.0/5.1GPE release for GSM devices. I have removed the hboot, tz, boot.img, recovery, and repartitioning done by the firmware, as well as modified it to be flashed to any carrier device.

Is this stock HTC/Sense 7 App included? I want it.

The list of current working HTC Stock Apps are:

Dotview

HTC TV

Weather

Camera (Zoe not working)

Gallery

Blinkfeed

Keyboard

Browser

Music Player

File Manager

I've already got the ROM installed and want to do an update...should I wipe first?

Probably not? It depends on which version you're on, but for the most part, you should be fine dirty flashing. My approach is always to try first, and then if there are issues, do a wipe and rebuild my apps and stuff. Most changes I'm making at this point should not require a wipe. If I feel it's wise, I will state as such when posting news of a new release.

If you're NOT currently using GPE, then YES, you need to wipe.

I tried a dirty flash, and the device *almost booted* but it's stuck at "starting apps". Now what?

Sorry. It sounds like you're one of the people where a dirty flash won't work. This is *usually* a result of updating google play services and skipping revisions. You could try manually deleting the folder /data/data/com.google.android.gms using TWRP file manager. If that still doesn't work, then you should probably just do a clean install.

I tried a dirty flash, and the device booted, but a bunch of apps are crashing/not working/complaining about files missing. What is with this *&^# ROM?

Dirty flashing is called "dirty" for a reason. You're taking a running filesystem and trying to insert a bunch of new programs. Sometimes this works, sometimes the jump from app versions is so much that it breaks those apps. The simple fix is to do a clean flash. If you're feeling more intrepid, find the folder for that app in /data/data and delete it using root explorer or TWRP file manager.

Will Xposed work with this?

You betcha! This has the "alpha" Xposed for 5.1. It is very solid. However, the modules that have been updated to work with 5.1 are still a little scarce, so you will have to test some of them to see if they work.

For your convenience, I have included Gravitybox and Xhangouts with the installer.

I installed this ROM, and now my screen/wifi/touchscreen/etc isn't working correctly!

Have you read through the firmware instructions in the OP? Please do.

Will I be able to use other ROMS with this firmware?

Probably? All I'm doing is replacing hardware bits with the latest ones. If your wifi doesn't work on a different ROM...flash the stock firmware back.

Okay, so does the Sense camera not work with this ROM or not?

IT DOES! For the longest time...it didn't. But now it does, and it's included with the ROM.

A few of the features (like Zoe) are not available, but this is the only Sense 7 Camera/Gallery combo with working Duo FX.

I flashed this ROM, and now my SD card is gone in recovery!

Your stuff is still there - your recovery just isn't smart enough to see it. Update to the latest version of TWRP by Captain_Throwback from here and you will be fine.

HELP! I flashed this ROM, and now my LTE doesn't work...even on other ROMS!

First off, chill out. This is a known issue with HTC devices as a result of nothing more than flashing ROMS over and over and over and over again. While it is alarming, it's fairly easy (albeit involved) to fix. Read below:

Anyone having radio issues: The NV partition, which handles the radios, may be corrupted. Especially if you do a lot of ROM and firmware flashing. You can flash all the ROM's and firmware you like but it will not change the fact something is corrupt. The only way to reset the partition to out of the box stock is to flash your carrier's 4.4.4 firmware and the stock recovery for you device. Reboot to recovery and select factory data reset and let it do it's thing. If you watch the reset log you will see it mention resetting the NV partition. Then just flash back your recovery of choice and ROM of choice. This has been the proven fix for HTC devices for a few years now.
