To be clear, is this clean flash *period*, or is there any probability of it working flashed over the latest stock rooted, as opposed to a previous BB version?

Follow up question, if it is clean flash period, is that due to the app compatibility issues from beta testing?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
if you're coming from M stock rooted, you may be ok to dirty flash...if coming from L, it probably wont boot

Has been for me on 1st beta & 4.0, only 2 versions I tried.

Hitman game update was failing for me though before but now it works so that's awesome.

Great work as always. Thanks a ton. Was just gonna mention the 4x4 app drawer when I saw the release! :p
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
yes, I'm still trying to figure out the issue....I flashed the last 6 or so modded versions & they all have 4x4, so it's been like this for awhile, I only use 5x6 so I didn't notice....I'm surprised no one has mentioned before.

until I figure it out, I will mod & post a Prism w/ HS menu & no 5x6, that will have 4x5...

*edit* here is latest modded Prism w/o 5x6... [MENTION=6405122]beastlymonkey[/MENTION], can u test it?

Write permission for external SD Card

I have an app that will not write to the external SD card. Before upgrading to Marshmallow, I used the instructions on the following page for Lollipop:

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2015/01/how-to-unlock-external-sd-card-writing.html

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

The above line does not exist in Marshmallow's platform.xml file.

Is there another file or line that needs to be edited?

I did not perform the 'Format as Internal' on the SD card because it is my understanding that doing so will encrypt and format the card in a manner that it can no longer be inserted in a card reader and read and written to on a PC. I need to do this when I transfer large/many files.

Account syncing issue

I have Business Calendar 2 Pro and 9Folders email apps installed. Everytime I reboot the phone, I loose all events in the calendar and they do not resync unless I perform a manual sync in the calendar app.

I have the same issue with the stock calendar app.

Anyone else have issues syncing calendar events? Worked just fine before I upgraded from Lollipop to Marshmallow.

Anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?

If I go into the phone's Accounts & sync settings and manually sync by selecting Sync all, everything syncs so it looks like the phone is not auto syncing even though Auto sync is on. Is there an HTC sync app or something that should be running that may be corrupted?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:

OMJ,

I renamed the Firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip to update via bootloader.....but the system isnt catching it....any idea as to why it's not finding it?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
only thing that comes to mind is the size of the sd card...I know on the M9 64gb wouldn't work, I had to use a 32gb sdcard
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drewtorrespr:
any way around this?....Am i right in saying we are not able to update the firmware thru Twrp right? if not im gonna have to borrow someones smaller sd card..
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
nope...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jeffshead:
This appears to be the issue. Every app that I installed, I manually moved to the external SD card as soon as I installed them because there is no option to have them automatically install on the external storage, unlike Lollipop. Everyone one of the apps seems to function properly except for the two I am having issues with. I moved the apps back to the internal storage and rebooted. This did not help. I just restored a backup but the back up was done when the 9Folders app was installed on the external SD so of coarse the app did not function upon boot. I reinstalled the app via the PlayStore (default location is internal storage) and had to re-enable what is supposed to sync and rebooted. Now it's auto syncing!

So it does appear to be an issue with installing apps on the external SD card.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
yeah, M has more security, it's still very new, I'm sure a resolution will eventually come

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] buckhunter:

I have a 64gb card and it worked fine but yes M definitely is touchy on ext SD. I couldn't get it to show up in Titanium and it just eventually worked . Idk if that was something that was changed during testing or it just took awhile to settle

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jeffshead:
Reinstall firmware???

I've ran into more issues with the f'ed up way Marshmallow handles the external SD card.

Can someone please test and see if you can take a pic with your M8, open Gallery and select 'Share' and see if you can send the image with the stock text message app? I get the following when I try even after performing a factory reset:

[IMG="Error"]http://i.imgur.com/sMTcm64.png[/IMG]

Of coarse under the General Settings of the camera, I changed to External storage for where to save pics. Still get the same error even after switching back to Internal storage.

If I want to go back to Lollipop by restoring a TWRP backup, do I also have to step back to the firmware version that was installed when I made the backup?

How do I clear all of the files on the internal storage so no remnants are left from the current apps and Marshmallow?

------------------------------------------

UPDATE (2-9-16): After two days and many hours of installing, reinstalling and reconfiguring, I finally have a usable Marshmallow install. I'm probably an old fart compared to most on here. I've owned less than a total of 10 personal & business cell phones in the past 20 years and this M8 is the first one that I've rooted so I'm still a newb. I originally followed the instructions I found from multiple sources that said using the default wipe settings in TWRP is typically all that is required when installing a new ROM. I used the default settings each of the 3 times I installed the firmware and Marshmallow ROM and each time I had the same issues. What finally worked was completely wiping and formatting the internal storage before installation. I'm still experiencing the same issues with the crappy way Android 6.x handles the write permissions of the external SD card so I left all apps on the internal storage. At least the other issues are sorted out and I once again have a usable phone.

this is a different version of hEQS that we've used in the past...I'm not sure why it auto hides on reboot...not that big of a deal, the plus side is since this will be our default systemui, those that don't like it wont even know about it lol

once hEQS is shown, single taps will hide/show

we plan on updating to v1.2 soon, but were waiting for wifi calling.

I have added hEQS to the updater aka "modifications" w/ various mods or stock, that u can flash to get it

Alternate volume rocker mod?

Hey devs!

I'm using the Volume rocker mod for music playback, but I am accidentally turning my music on in my pocket at rather inappropriate times. Would it be possible to create an alternate volume rocker mod that only works if music is playing and with no play/stop functions, as in:

Volume rocker up - forward song

Volume rocker down - backward song

so it appears the 4x5 mod needs some tweaking....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] buckhunter:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
The issue is definitely related to the 4x5 mod, not sure what causes it to happen intermittently.

I did but it was just temporary.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jeffshead:
Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor and for helping with my issues :) What solved all of my issues, with the exception of the crappy Android 6.x external SD card write permissions, was completely wiping and reformatting the internal storage before reinstalling this final time. The default wipe in TWRP was not enough. Also, I left all apps on the internal storage.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
One thing I always do when going to a new version of Android, is RUUing... This ensures you have the correct firmware and formats internal storage... A nice clean start.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jeffshead:
When you have time, can you please elaborate or point me to a decent tutorial that shows RUUing as you are describing it? I've googled for hours upon hours and found many tutorials but they're all slightly to very different so my head is swimming when it comes to which is the proper, least error prone way to go to a new version or just a fresh install. :eek:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I don't know of any tutorials to give, it's more from observation...the bottom line, a RUU is the only complete package that writes to all partitions. If you compared the firmware from a OTA pkg & a RUU pkg, you'd see the OTA is only partial, whereas the RUU is complete.

when a RUU is not available, at minimum, I will flash the new firmware from OTA & clean flash a new ROM...

Install Rom zip

Clear cache

Install HK addon

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jeffshead:
Check your app's permissions if you experience issues

FYI:

Out of the blue, my calendar and contacts stopped syncing. I went into the phone's Settings->Accounts & Sync and there was a crossed out sync symbol beside my Exchange ActiveSync account and the following message displayed: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".

Long story short... I had to edit my Exchange client app's permissions via the phone's Settings->Apps, tap the app then tap Permissions.

I really don't know what happened because my calendar and contacts were auto-syncing yesterday and all day, today. I hope it's not a bug that's causing settings to be lost. I checked other apps and saw that they were not granted proper permissions, either.

Does anyone know why the correct permissions are not always set when the apps are installed? Is this a new security feature of Android 6.x that app developers need to incorporate and older apps can't set the correct permissions? I remember reading that you are supposed to be prompted to allow or deny each permission requested by an app when it's installed or runs for the first time. I do recall being prompted for a couple of apps but not for the majority of the one's I installed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] miggsr:
I personally recommend you flash firmware in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU). Once that's completed then run that ruu again. Then you can flash Twrp version of your choice. Then flash rom and mods after that.
