I found a tool in the trickster mod app that allows for mini free adjustments. Used the app you posted to get an idea of what the settings should be and adjusted them in the trickster app. My m8 is at home but it really has made an improvement in my nexus 7 2012 (rooted lollipop)

Made some changes to my m8 based on the mini free numbers from the auto killer app, the lag is gone and is faster than I've ever noticed this some to be. After an hour or so of using this app I have not noticed any down side or unwanted side effects.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
I've been playing with this for a few days and have noticed something that is very interesting to me as I am using the phone a lot and start having many apps open at on time the phone starts to slow down a little apps like chrome become unresponsive. And for example I was typing on Hangouts and have project era Dolby digital mod on this and the eq for Dolby started cutting out as I was typing I was also getting lag. So I cleared the apps I wasn't really using and all lag goes away immediately. It seems that this build of lollipop is not managing memory very well. It doesn't seem to open up ram when its needed. Also I notice that when I reboot the phone all apps are still in recent and even when I restored back to this ROM and booted that apps where still in memory. I find this very odd. As long as I close apps that aren't needed no lag happens so basically I feel that this is an issue that KitKat doesn't have and hope that the final releases from HTC/Google is more fine tuned

For all of you that live under a rock, it's looking like a Friday release for official :p
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jcoinster:
My music is playing at a slightly faster speed. Its actually kind of annoying. What could possibly be causing this one? And to anyone thinking of trying the new Play Services.... Dont. It broke hangouts, gmail and inbox.

Edit: Used Greenify to kill background apps and uninstalled chrome and the phone is snappier than it was on KitKat. I also reinstalled GP Services from a different site and its working just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mr_wonderful:
Yup the new update works..

Saw it yesterday..

But Poweramp still failing..

Hey Captain, being an app developer, I can't wait till Android 5.0 is released.

Just curious how much "porting" is required to go from the GPe to our Sprint M8 versions, obviously you successfully ported it on 4.4.4, can't imagine much difference when 5.0 is released; rumor is this friday. Just curious how much turnover is required. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Thanks again for all your work.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
He already did 5.0, page 85+ has all the info involved!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] godbilla:
Running the 5.0 version, really cool so far. Everything is working! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] hasseye:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but was this a pre release of the official version that's being released tomorrow for the m8. Exact same version or different build numbers?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
It is a leaked test build. It's not the same one they'll release tomorrow. Hopefully that one will have fixed all the problems we've all been experiencing with this build.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It's like 3 files.

Which is actually why I'll be leaving this port and closing this thread soon. But don't worry; [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] will have the Sprint folks covered with his build.

So, here it is. I recommend you do a full wipe, just to be safe. I won't ask you again for a while.

Firmware - it auto extracts to sdcard, but you need to reboot to bootloader to make it flash. If it doesn't work, you can manually extract it and either RUU flash or put on external SD. Firmware is carrier agnostic - you should be on Sprint 4.4.4 first, then flash the fw included with this.

Also, YES. This will work on ALL carriers. Just pick sprint in installer. Captain has tested.

God...so much going on right now. I'll update the OP in my thread with better info shortly, but [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] has asked me to take over sprint duties...so you guys will be seeing a lot more of me. Check the link in the quote's OP for deets. :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
So that's not flashable through TWRP, and what if we're on the GPE Lollipop port? Do we have to revert to 4.4.4 to flash?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
Wait...what? You can flash the ROM through TWRP. It includes firmware files for 5.0 which you can tell aroma to auto-extract to sdcard. You then boot into bootloader after install, let fw flash, and boot to system. You don't have to revert...just have the 4.4.4 base firmware in place first.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
Okay thanks, that's pretty clear. I think I was just over thinking it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rocker935:
Holy ****, thanks a bunch!!!

I just flashed it and selected the option to have it extract the firmware. I rebooted to the bootloader but didn't see anything indicating that it was flashing the firmware. I rebooted the phone and am currently watching the boot image as ART works it's magic. Will the firmware automatically get flashed in the background of the bootloader? Do I have to select something for it to flash the firmware? Is there a way for me to verify that the firmware has been flashed?

EDIT: *shrug* ended up manually flashing the firmware to be on the safe side.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
Duh...do you have an external sd card? That's where I set it to extract to. If there's no external sd, then it needs to be flashed manually. I'm so dense sometimes. Either way, you have the firmware on your phone. Try without - if you have issues with wifi or bluetooth, etc, you can flash it manually. I'll upload it now for everybody. Da$n it...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rocker935:
Nope, definitely no external SD card. I manually flashed it and it appears to be good to go.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
NVM. I was double-checking stuff. I'll post a new FW link in a second.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rocker935:
I flashed the firmware to my Sprint M8 (Non-HK) with a super-cid of 11111111. So far, no issues noticed in my VERY brief testing. Bluetooth(A2DP), Wifi, and LTE are all working. I'll check GPS next.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
Good to hear.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] carrilloevo:
So if I'm on the latest firmware, I should be fine just flashing the rom?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] RiotShielder:
I'm on the latest firmware (However I do have the HK edition) and I flashed it without issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] henderjr:
So probably not something I can multi rom to secondary due to firmware update? Currently 4.4.4 sense on primary and lollipop on secondary...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pcausey77:
Running great here.. Sprint HK 4.4.4 firmware, no issues that I can tell
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
Just for the sake of knowing, I'm going to recommend that everybody just flash the ROM on top of 4.4.4 firmware...and if problems arise with wifi or BT, then go ahead and flash the FW.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:

Post #78
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Data seems to be working now

I was out and about this morning and had no issues with data. 3G (eHRPD) kicked in flawlessly and switched between 3G and LTE with no trouble.

I think that portion of the ROM is good to go. Now someone just needs to figure out what's up with camera. I was able to use it today as well, but the lag was annoying. Not sure what can be done about that, as the Verizon folks have the same issue.

And CM uses all the camera blobs from GPE, so no help there either.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
Doesn't boot for me either. Animation spins forever. I wiped cache, dalvik, data, system, and Android secure. Tried it five with full wipes in between. No joy.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
What recovery?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
I believe it is yours Captain... TWRP 2.7.0.7
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It shouldn't make a difference, but have you tried 2.7.0.8? That's what I've been using and haven't had any issues. If the ROM flashes and boots, though, I assume the problem is elsewhere.

Has anyone else run an RUU recently and then been able to flash successfully? That seems to be why it works completely fine for me but no one else.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
The good news is 2.7.0.8 allowed me to flash and boot the Rom and it appears that the lte and 3g handoffs work. The bad news is WiFi did not work and touch screen commands were very laggy But thanks for the updated twrp suggestion which worked great.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
It was fine for me.....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Have you tried RUU? Test10 had no WiFi for me until I ran RUU again, effectively "cleaning the slate," and since then everything's been working fine.

It seems like everyone having Wi-Fi and touch issues might need to do that to have a fully working ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
I already had firmware .13 installed. Are you suggesting I run the actual RUU and if so, do I have to S-OFF again afterwards? Thnx
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Suggesting running the RUU had nothing to do with firmware; it is to make sure the device has a good starting point. So yes, that is what I'm suggesting. Since we only have the RUU for 1.54.654.9, you'll need to either flash the OTA zip from stock recovery after running the RUU (if you have it saved to your external sd like I do), or take the OTA after booting up to make sure you're on the latest firmware.

Remember that running the RUU will delete internal storage, so back up anything you have there or copy it all to your external sd card.

You will not lose S-OFF from running the RUU, but you will need to reinstall TWRP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
Okay Captain, thank you for your assistance!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
So no joy with camera lag over here either, hey? Bummer. I was hoping that if we had two devices with the issue, somebody could figure it out.

I've had this idea for a while...just nobody to test it on.

I bet it's the kernel. Vzw and GPE kernels use different drivers for camera and sensors. Problem is, I'm not great with kernel stuff, so the builds I've tried merging together have not worked.

I really hope that maybe there is some kernel whiz out there reading this who can grab the two sources and merge VZW/sprint drivers into GPE kernel. Specifically, the sensor stuff, as I've noticed it's the same sluggishness with the screen auto-brightness.

That's my two cents. I'm several days out yet on having a build environment set up to work in, but then I hopefully will give the above another crack. :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Which sensor stuff, exactly? I can download the source and give it a go, if I know what to grab. I'd also like to grab whatever fixed the a2dp audio skipping, because the OTA to 1.54 fixed that too, but it exists on this ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
I ran the RUU then took the OTA after booting up which got me back to the .13 firmware. Unfortunately, WiFi was still not functional, the touch screen lag persisted, and the phone would not perform a normal shutdown. I had to hold the power button and volume up button to turn it off. Ah well... It was worth a shot. Thanks Captain!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I wish I had a clue why it's not working for most people. I have absolutely no idea.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

I have an idea.

If there's a version of this ROM that was previously posted without lag and where WiFi worked, flash that.

Replace framework-res.apk in that ROM with the one from test13 and set proper permissions. Delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and /shared_prefs.

Reboot and hopefully everything should be working correctly.

If that works, I'll build a flashable zip for people to use after flashing the build from the OP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
It worked! Great idea Captain! Phone works, WiFi works, lag gone, phone shuts down properly, camera also works but is a bit laggy/jerky. All in all... Well done Captain!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] so have you tried the previous build with your framework thrown in to see if it had any issues? (I'm curious about something)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Which previous build? Test12? I believe what you suggested is already what I'm running. Why do you ask?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Why would the framework work from current build with a previous for us instead of your current build?

Yup, just go to settings and find build number, like where youd get developer settings, the one Captain Posted was test-keys the one digitalhigh posted is release-keys. Its always worked like that.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I have an APK that installs (it's already posted in the thread), but I'm pretty sure VVM won't work. I think there are a few more changes that need to be made for that to work. And those changes can't be made until the new aapt is available to recompile framework-res.apk.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] henderjr:

Ok, no firmware for me.

If I'm in the test release, can I flash the official release without having to flash the boot.img via bootloader?

Hey gang! I'll be working with the captain to get our threads consolidated, but if you're working with my ROM, please direct all questions and discussion to the main thread so it's a little easier to keep up with. Thanks!

Blatant copy/paste from my thread:

Okay everybody! I've got an update for you.

This is largely housekeeping and tweaking of the Aroma installer. I'll just rattle off what I've done in no specific order.

11.21.14:

Put google Play services back to v 6.5

Added script to detect presence of SD Card and extract firmware to correct location.

Added logic to make it boot into fastboot from installer...and it actually works!

Cleaned up graphics, colors in installer. Should be a lot more purdy now.

Added "remove BrowserProxyProvider" as an optional "app/mod". This *seems* to fix the lag with Chrome, and possibly facebook as well?

Left chrome in place when installing - will work out moving it to make uninstallable in future releases.

Added init.d script to delete firmware from SD after first boot. Houskeeping, yall!

Modified aainfo.txt in firmware to reflect proper mainver value of 3.10.1700.5.

Standalone FW now same as what's in ROM. My bad!

Haven't tested GPS yet though. Loaded up Nova Launcher and can't believe how smooth this rom is.

I do miss some of the extended call history options from sense, and Im sorely missing the HTC camera for the ultra slow 120fps recording. But I knew about losing those switching to GPE. So Im going to have to find a work around for that. But aside from that, superb rom.
