My M8 has been really slow this past week or two. Maybe even a little longer. Finally decided to check the CPU usage and it's crazy high. Like 12/12/12 in idle usage, and up to 20 and more when using apps. If unfamiliar with the CPU declaration nomenclature - look here: http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/20...-load-averages

Any ideas for a fix? Could it be the kernel causing this? Or is it the older firmware? I'm on this 1.57 because I'm too lazy to allow T-Mobile to send me an upgrade and then have to re-root and re-install my recovery. But maybe I should just bite the bullet.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] dankerton:
I was having this same problem for weeks, since the last two updates and some of the HTC app updates. Things got sooo bad the phone would freeze up especially when dealing with the camera. If you go into developer options you can see the processes that are running and I noticed that HTC dot view was using the 2nd most processing time of any app even tho I do NOT have a dot view case! Dot view cannot be disabled, so this is what finally pushed me to root my phone. Being on the latest build, I was able to root it and keep 4.4.4. I then just used Es File explore to delete tons of system apps, mostly HTC ones. Be careful there, you might mess up some things. You can also use ROMCleaner to do this in batch in recovery. Please note that you might need to go S-Off or use flash a sense kernel that has system write access before you can delete system apps. I did the latter using elementalX Sense 2.0 kernel but keeping stock settings during the flash.

My phone is ZIPPY as **** now! Fell back in love with it really. GL lemme know if you have questions.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] captainreynolds:
That's crazy! Glad your phone is running fast - could you check your CPU usage and let me know if any of the numbers up top are above 4?

For my phone at least, none of the HTC apps are the problem. TBH I think they've done a really good job with unobtrusive and useful apps, and haven't had any problems. When I look at CPU usage on my phone, the only time HTC apps take any CPU time is when they are actually running.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] dankerton:
I Just read that you're on a much older version so I don't think we can tell compare. that CPU usage link up there is broken so I dunno how to answer you. Goto developer options then process stats then hit the menu and check show system. See if anything looks suspicious there. Recent apps and even the running apps list didn't show dot view but it showed up here. I've installed back every app I had before and still zipping away so I'm quite sure it was HTC stuff. Maybe it's the kernal I flashes but I keep all the options stock during the flash. Try the kernal see if its better.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ItsMeMasih:

Any word on if this thread will be updated with a stock version of 4.4.4 with root and deodexed? If not here, can someone point me to where I could find it?

Is there a way to run the patch to add Extreme power savings mode from 4.4.2 updates?

Awesome job on the ROM, although I wish you had removed even more bloatware and Social Media content, for those whom want them should just grab from the market.

Thx for the hard work and effort!!!!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] theob_gyn88:
Wondering, if this would be a good fix for me. I tried to remove all of the TMobile "IQ Carrier" files, courtesy of "SmiLey497". These are the files:

/system/app

QXDM2SD.apk

QXDM2SD.odex

HtcResetNotify.apk

HtcResetNotify.odex

Htcloglevel.apk

Htcloglevel.odex

Smith.apk

Smith.odex

Udove.apk

Udove.odex

/system/priv-app

IQ-tmobile-release-signed.apk ?????

IQ-tmobile-release-signed.odex ?????

IQToggle.signed.apk

IQToggle.signed.odex

MyBreeze.apk

MyBreeze.odex

/system/lib

system/lib/libiq_service_tmobile_2.2.so

/data/data

com.carrieriq.tmobile

com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle

I used Solid Explorer to delete them. The two files above with the question marks, were slightly different. They were represented as "IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed.apk" and "IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed.odex ", on my device. I decided to continue. As a result, everything on the device works normal, as before. But, now a banner pops up "Unfortunately, System Manager Application has stopped." And it won't let me do anything!! I spoke to HTC dev, a techie helped my and found an RUU (4.4.3). But I'm running the same software information that's on your device. Except, my kernel version is:

3.4.0-g278eae8

root@abm007 #1

SMP PREEMPT

I'm already S-OFF, through Firewater. Could I run your ROM to return to Stock, unlock my bootloader, reestablish root?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
Will this be updated to newest 5.02?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Ahh, I didn't notice that. It only happens with the stock app, and I use hangouts which does not present with the issue.. Set it to IPV4 and all is well with all of the things. I'll update the OP.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] nory82688:
Hey man, thanks for the work you've done. Just had a quick question . Somehow my dumb ass deleted my backup of my stock tmo ROM , and sooner or later would like to go back since I'm running the GE ROM (not RUU) ATM. Since the Tmo ROM RUU is not available yet, do you think you could, or have any plans on releasing this same ROM but odexed so we can still use the ART runtime? If you do, it would be much appreciated, especially by me :)

Thanks for your time .
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Hey guys.. I'm currently running stock ROM with GEL... Was thinking about the custom kernel you have.. I guess my question is if it's as smooth as stock kernel? What's the default governor? Also.. Can I use ART with this ROM? Thanks! ;)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tnez:
I'm a bit rusty with S-on devices....does the kernel need to be flashed separately?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Andromorphone:
not in this case, no. it flashes in one zip along with the rom with or without s-off
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tnez:
oh wow even better! I guess some things have changed since my last HTC device
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chaos5429:
Has anyone modified app permissions in root explorer and received a reboot with everything restored to pre-modifications? Every time I modify a line in build.prop and reset, it doesn't save enough though root explorer was granted SU permissions.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
I have similar problems with AdAway. Whenever I apply the hosts file it reboots the phone immediately. I've been meaning to grab a logcat when it happens. I just keep forgetting.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chaos5429:
I tried to install Viper audio but every time I modify the permissions, it would force reboot and claims it recovered from a major crash. I have no idea why... maybe because I'm still s-on.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
It's not likely the S-On. I'm S-Off, and I'm still having similar issues.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chaos5429:
Have you ever tried to uninstall bloat apps such as the T-Mobile apps? Using TI, uninstalling works however, once you reboot, they all come back like nothing ever happened... strange lol.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] avetny:
you need to delete them not only in system/app/

but also in other folder (look for it)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] MeatyCoins:
I'm getting the same issue but instead everytime I uninstall a app via TB my phone resets itself...anyway to remove these applications prior to flashing? like un-rar it..delete...rar then flash?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sonosam:
I had this same problem. Turned out I wasn't s-off, just bootloader unlocked. Once I got s-off the problem went away.

Anyone have the spanish language pack for the sense keyboard? I got a little overzealous with my app removal and now I don't have it...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Chaos5429:
Unfortunately for me firewater doesn't work on my phone. :(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] MeatyCoins:
I am s-off same issue. sorry I dont have the language pack..just reflash?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Hmm perhaps the kernel was not actually flashing with s-on. Try flashing the kernel image via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kurdish11:
Can I flash this on my S-Off Verizon M8 through CWM or would I brick my device. I've been flashing international roms, so I'm assuming T-Mobile would work as well?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] pcriz:
I was having issues where xposed wouldn't install but instead it would just reboot, I ended up reflashing the zip and all was good.. as far as uninstalling the apps I just freeze them and that appears to work.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jdom58:
Hey just wanted to say thanks for putting this ROM together and keeping it simple :good:

I know its almost stock and has no razzle dazzle but it's got just enough done to it to be rock solid and it runs GREAT!! Tried a few others whose added features are freaking amazing and truly impressive work but all those features at the moment come with the price of little bugs here and there which get to be annoying after a while.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jimmydigital00:

Help. I just traded my galaxy note to a rooted tmo HTC m8 running GPE. i tried to install other roms but i keep on getting failed message. need help. been working on this one for hours.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
You may have a phone that was converted to a GPE edition using the GPE RUU. If this is the case you may have to wait for a T-Mobile RUU to return to using stock Sense.

I know that there is a guide in the International M8 forums to return to stock Sense, but I'm not sure if it will work for the T-Mo variant.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] FreydNot:
Any chance of this ROM getting updated with the OTA from May 17?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Sure, I'll start applying the OTA patches to the system image later today.

That OTA will not apply unless all of the partitions are stock.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Mpegger:
So the T-Mobile OTA update has been released, and does show up in this install (I converted from a GPE to this "rom"). My M8 is Unlocked, S-Off, Rooted, and SuperCID. Can I accept the OTA Update from T-Mobile and let it do it's thing, or must I revert some items back to Stock settings before doing so?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
The update would refuse to apply. However, I am uploading a deodexed version as we speak. :)

*EDIT* Release is in the next post.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Okay, here it is with the latest OTA Applied.

ODEXED (This one is rooted, but is otherwise completely stock):

htc_m8_signed_1.57_ODEX.zip 1.36 GB (mirror) SHA1:5b662bec587e3f460e08d0c58534b907e2f29d86

DEODEXED (This has all of the usual mods with the addition of the wp_mod since it is currently running stock kernel Credit to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for the wp_mod):

htc_m8_1.57_DEODEXED.zip 1.24 GB (mirror) SHA1:699a983071ea79c715cca1688c39c172bb7aa6a4

Flash this after you flash either of the two above. The /system/ wp_fix was broken in both of them, and this will fix it: http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m8/Fix_wp_mod.zip

If you are coming from another version of stock you SHOULD NOT need to wipe /data/.

WARNING: TWRP is very buggy it seems. If you get bumped back to the initial screen, flash again until you get the "Successful" screen.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Mpegger:
Was going to ask if this could be dirty flashed, but you already answered that. Thanks ;)

Also, any chance this could be uploaded elsewhere? I don't trust any site that requires me to install a separate program or extension just to download a file. Torrent perhaps? I'd be more then happy to seed.

Nvm, I didn't notice the mirror link. Tyvm!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Thanks for this man!

Does it comes with stock kernel or your modded kernel?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
I just noticed that the WP mod kernel module is not loading properly at the moment. You can load it by:

insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko

I'll post an update zip to fix it when I get to work.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Yeah I tried the odex version... Tried dirty flashing on top of stock ROM but instalation aborted.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
The latest TWRP is really buggy. You have to flash multiple times sometimes to get it to work.

Here is the fix for the wp_mod issue.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
I'm using PhilZ CWM... Should I flash TWRP?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
AHH, tick the box for "Allow old updater binary". It doesn't like my update binary as a script setup.

*EDIT* Confirmed: PhilZ touch is not compatible.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Which version of TWRP do you recommend?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
The latest one should work, but you may have to flash a couple times. It is odd, it seems like init is still doing stuff when the recovery-binary is launched. As for CWM/PhilZ it doesn't appear to support the partition mapping functions of the new update-binaries at all.

*EDIT*

I may just have to build my own recovery. I'm not satisfied with the ones I have seen so far. :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
I just tried the latest version and got stuck backing up... Pretty weird... Going to so some research about the M8 and TWRP... For some reason it isn't working to backup :(

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
This update-binary thing is getting painful... I am writing my own installer in pure shell right now. I have it working, just going through some quick testing to make sure it isn't going to do anything crazy on us.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] alderaan34:
At the risk of sounding dumb, dirty flashing is when you don't wipe anything right?

I got the update to flash on twrp by wiping system, cache, and dalvik.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Great! Even in my testing with TWRP I was getting random failures to flash on the first or second attempt. It is very odd, I think it has to do with the update-binary itself, because when I test with the shell script I just wrote I get 0 failures. I am uploading versions with a fixed installer right now.

For those of you who get the old zips flash there is no reason to re-download, but for those of you who can't get it to work, a new version is on the way. :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] gparmar76:
Thank You Fenny, for your work on this....having a stock deodexed ROM is sorely needed here and your working on one with the latest firmware from HTC...hopefully you can work this script issue your facing and then we can flash away without worrying about breaking anything :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Fenny.. So do we still have to flash the wp_mod after flashing the OTA?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Not once the new links are up, no. But with the old zips, you still do.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] alderaan34:
Thanks for all your work Fenny. It's nice to be able to load up the updates.

One more thing.. Are you including in the odex version the Fenny kernel.. Or is it stock? I liken your version better.. It's smoother and more consistent.

Did HTC updated the kernel?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
They don't appear to have dropped new kernel source yet I will release a kernel when they do for the new version. The stock kernel is included with both, but the de-odex version has insecure adb, and selinux set to permissive. That being said, I tested with my kernel old build for a day or so, and had no issues whatsoever.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Luigiesin:
Cool.. I'm full stock ROM (odex) but using the Fenny kernel... I guess it'll still work with the OTA right?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Okay, these worked when I tested with both PhilZ and TWRP.

The fixed version installed just fine in TWRP, but yes, did have to do it multiple times before it stuck.

I did notice TetheringGuard app now in Titanium Backup. Is T-Mobile trying to prevent (wifi) tethering via other methods now? I've currently frozen the app, just incase, but would like some feedback about what it is and does.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
When I've had these kinds of problems on different devices the quickest fix was to reboot recovery before trying to install. Full wipe then reboot recovery. Don't know if it will work here but this seems similar to a problem on the nexus 5.

So, I am fully stock rom on T-Mobile but rooted and S-Off, with the ElementalX kernel.

Can I just flash this rom and it will upgrade just fine from my stock rom? I'd like to get the latest update and want zero changes to the system unlike other roms make.

Also, I'd like to keep the ElementalX kernel, it works great and has a lot of awesome features and fantastic battery life, plus the developer is continually updating it. How can I remove the kernel from this rom installation? Or can I just install this rom as an update, and then reflash the ElementalX kernel?

No am on T-Mobile I had forgotten I had installed an att Rom..but for the looks of it the fellow member a few posts back confirm that in this update does have the tethering apk...Ok say I installed this Rom and I go and delete the tethering guard apk. Would It mess up the apns or somewhere those lines?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
It does appear that way. This application appears to be controlled by a setting in one of the /system/customize XMLs. This has been set to a '0' on the deodexed ROM, but the ODEX ROM still has the stock values. I have yet to look into actually removing the APK since it is new.

Thank you. I will experiment a little and then I will report back . ????
