If you don't have any issue with the ROM, why would you flash anything?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
Captain made an excellent point unless youre having issues you'll be fine not flashing it. It's more or less just for those that want as complete of a gpe port as possible on their devices. Can't say that either firmware is better than the other, other than the gpe one makes things feel more googly.;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Another weird thing. Idk if it happens to anyone else. But when I try to make a back up in twrp. It says I don't have enough memory. But I have plenty
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Don't see a log . . .
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
You know, I just ran I to this as well...for some reason after flashing the latest rooted build, my system size has increased dramatically. Anyone else encounter this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
Possibly something to do with sparse_dat?? If that format is still being used...although that should allow for dynamic system partion sizing so not sure why that would be the problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
Dirty flashed the latest rooted and I got 5gb system data, don't know if it's more or less

Seems like dynamic space

Has anyone else noticed that on band 41 LTE the upload speed always tests at 0.01mbps? Not sure if this is a rom issue or if it's just my phone. I posted about it at s4gru.com and nobody else in the area was having this issue so it's on my end somewhere and I'm trying to pinpoint what it could be
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Start reading.

We (still) don't have Marshmallow blobs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
Ah I see. Thanks. I don't know how I missed that :/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asacado:
I can attest for that, Basically bands 25 and 26 work, so we are all up to waiting right now for a MM stock rom to drop then we can actually see development again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
My personal ROM

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I thought I'd post the ROM I'm personally using right now. It's GPE-based, but it includes many pieces of Sense. I call it "Sensified", mostly because I'm using [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]'s Sensify module to enable BlinkFeed and all the plugins ;).

Here are the ROM features:

- Includes BlinkFeed & Plugins, w/HTC Weather (w/animations), HTC Clock (Google DeskClock removed)

- Access to Sense apps on Play Store enabled (HTC File Manager, Calendar, Mail, Tasks, etc.)

- HTC Sense Input w/EN Language pack (thanks [MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION])

- Includes HTC Music (w/DLNA server and HTC Connect included) - removed Play Music

- Includes HTC Camera (A9 version) w/Removable storage option (Google Camera removed)

- Includes HTC Gallery (thanks [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION])

- Includes HTC Video Player (thanks [MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION])

- Includes Xposed v79 (enabled by default) - thanks [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

- Includes Sensify Module (enabled by default) - supports HTC Themes

- Includes GravityBox module (enabled by default)

- Includes HTC FM Radio (thanks [MENTION=1148003]lyapota[/MENTION])

- Includes BeyondStockᵀᴹ kernel w/f2fs compatibility

- Rooted (SuperSU v2.66)

- Includes Sprint VVM (requires changing VM number to your phone # and probably doesn't work anyway :/)

I think that's it. So if you want to try it, it's on the Downloads tab. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't, since I understand not everyone likes BlinkFeed and the HTC apps.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 63sammo1:
Thank you Capt.

Downloading now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] beastlymonkey:
Thank you for another ROM! I enjoyed using DigitalHigh's GPE ROM until it started having the issue where I'd have to reboot for data often. I'm glad i'll be able to have another chance at it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
No issues for me on Band 41, but I'm sure it is just the fact that we have no MM blobs, as has already been pointed out ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I assume you're using the old blobs?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
This is after a full wipe coming from CM nightlies. Haven't flashed anything in the way of blobs. Wiped data, cache, dalvik, system and flashed the most recent version you had in the OP (as of Jan 8th, the version ending in .9). That's it. Is my lack of data issues an anomaly?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I just clean flashed the ROM as well, and SignalCheck indicates that I'm connected to LTE Band 41. Very interesting. Not sure what changed, but I don't think I did anything to fix it :confused:.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
You're a magician. And a damn good one, at that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] beastlymonkey:
Hey Captain on the "Sensified" ROM I got a Lucky Patcher warning from an app and was wondering if it was something you had done? I've never had this problem before and don't think I added something like that. Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
We don't talk about that app here on XDA and any problem you're having with it isn't my concern. Please don't mention it here again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] beastlymonkey:
Yes sir. I'm really sorry I didn't even know what it was until I looked it up after the warning after opening xposed GEL settings. I would never use a software like that and I have not installed any app that I've never had before. I'm really confused but I'll figure out how to get rid of it. It is sickening. Thanks again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
Does the sensified camera actually work with dual cameras? I manually installed it before with the framework but I feel the upper "light" camera isn't active. (when I cover it, it doesn't tell me to move my finger)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It doesn't appear to be, but you can still install the regular HTC Camera from the Play Store and use that instead (or just install the Google Camera and use that).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] SublimeMogul:
Sorry Captain_throwback somehow I'm unable to locate the link to your 'sensified' build. Would you mind kindly pointing me in the right direction please?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I do mind :rolleyes:. Try looking again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
So this happened? My pull down turned blue. Lol. Did this happen over an update or something?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] beastlymonkey:
Nah this happens when you open the Sensify xposed module you have to slide off the Theme System UI setting under themes.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Or, you can apply an HTC Theme, and the colors in Sensify with adjust to match the theme ;). It's actually pretty neat :).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] saenfry:
thanks for the great gpe sensified edition :D

this is what i looking for.. thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zzz73:
I too got this warning from XGELS while running this ROM. (I'm using the paid version i purchased) i don't use the unnamed app or any pirate apps. i really think it's an XGELS problem, but it doesn't like something in the stock Protips folder of this ROM. just delete that folder with a root explorer and the warning goes away.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
Ayyyeee look at that http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/mo-versi-on-twitter/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Cool. Right now I'm not having any issues with the ROM as-is, so I don't know that I'll be using that for anything . . . :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
seems that im a little late to the party but ill definitely have to give this a try, been playing around with new Chromebook flip that I got for my bday and almost forgot about my m8 LOL!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Wow, 910 downloads of the Sensified version, and not any posts about it (besides the XGELS issue). It must be working well for everyone. I'm glad (not) to hear it, I guess, lol.

Any comments? I've been using it since I posted it, and coming from the A9, I think the combination is better than that device's stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
I haven't tried this out since one of the original builds, might be time to give it a shot again. I see you say the Sensifed version has Xposed installed already. Does the non Sensified version?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The features of the ROMs are in the OP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
I read every word of it but it's not very clear. The features list starts and ends with that there's a rooted version available. So I guess that's a no. Will find out shortly.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Not sure how much clearer that can be. It's stock, except for the rooted version (which only has root) and the Sensified version, which links to its own list of features. What you read is what there is.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
Been using it as my daily since posted. No issues to report. Great job. Thanks for your work in all the forums!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
Up and running since this morning and motoring along. Only two things I've come across. 1. I can't for the life of me uninstall some of the built in Google apps like Play Movies and those. Uninstalled with Titanium, deleted apk's with Root Explorer, etc. They come right back. No big deal though, I just disabled them instead. And 2. Xposed tells me it's not compatible with Android SDK version 23 yet. I assume there must be a way since you have it enabled in your Sensified version but I haven't looked deep enough yet to figure out how.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
1) I assume you're S-ON? Better look into wp_mod or a custom kernel to disable system write protection.

2) Sounds like you're installing the wrong Xposed APK/ZIP. Go to the official Xposed thread and get the proper version(s).

Neither of those are ROM issues, of course.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
No, I'm S-Off. And haven't had any other issues with write protection at all. I deleted quite a few other system apps.

I'll find the proper Xposed. I knew it had to be out there just hadn't had a chance to get lookin' yet. Headed that direction now. Thanks for the heads up.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
Now that I had 5 minutes to sit down at a computer I've Xposed runnin' like a champ. This thing is flying compared to the DH Rom I've been running.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Stunt life ? I got your saggy ass fix
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thenags:
Lol, they're the ****. I just sent out a bunch this week.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Just to follow up on this I figured out what was happening. I'm 100% S-Off and was able to delete the apk's with no issues. However, upon rebooting they were redownloading somehow through the Play Store. Every time I'd delete them they'd redownload after a reboot. I didn't change anything, I just gave up for the day. Upon deleting them this morning they did not redownload and all is good in the world again. ROM is still blazing fast. I was on the verge of smashing my phone lately and getting a Nexus 6P but it's literally running faster now than it ever has.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Riff76:
Downloaded and flashed sensified. Gplay kept fc'ing on me so went back to my dd. Sorry I didn't get a logcat.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I assume you clean flashed?

I've heard of no one else with a problem, so I can't think of what else it could be. I flashed that ROM tens of times with no FCs.

P.S. If you're going to provide feedback, please make it meaningful - otherwise your post just looks like you're trying to bring me down ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Welllll that option needs to be removed lol, it messed up my data throughout my entire phone even on a sense restore. I'm back to it though lol!

Edit: I used Gravitybox to disable it, and everything seems to be working fine again....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
On sync options, Facebook doesn't allow contacts to be synced can we get this or am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I explained this here. Please use search. I also tell you how to fix it here, if you already broke it.

No it doesn't. I use HaxSync to sync my Facebook contacts.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
ok so mhl does work, my sound system aparently doesnt like mhl... but miracast still doesnt work
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Can't help you with Miracast, sorry.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Grrr sorry captain, I sometimes forget that feature, and they should ban me from using XDA after 1am lol....:/ I'll check out haxsync
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nuvens:
Xposed messes with smali, that's one of the reason I use it for ad removal (minmin) Pandora hack (Pandora patcher) and unicon only. Most of the problems people have with most roms usually comes from messing with xposed. Rom has been solid. Data is perfect now, Bluetooth, NFC, WiFi, camera, battery life is great. Everything I've used works as it should, only thing I haven't had the need to test is hotspot. Great job on this.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Hotspot works too ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
I can verify that... It works great!!!

Haxsync alternative, I know its .99 but when you're broke you're broke!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Just confirmation that calls on 1x800 work. I don't know if that's the same as HD voice or not, but the calls while on it are very clear.

If someone knows how to determine that HD voice is working, please let me know.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pbedard:
Hey cap

I know wrong thread I flashed two 2.7.1.0 to my phone now I can't get the radio on a
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Wrong thread is correct. Besides the fact that recovery has nothing to do with radio.

Please post in a more appropriate location (Q&A perhaps?).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pbedard:
K thanks ...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] omariscal1019:
Thanks Captain and tjeeeee this rom is awesome... Love the it... Data is working great love the 3g to LTE switchback doesnt lag .... Awesoome
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Registerforwhat:
Awesome ROM, data, everything is workin great. The only downside I can see is battery is has been getting eaten up, temps are higher too for some reason. But its so smooth and so clean, dialer is magic.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
My battery is much better than on Sense. My phone was unplugged all night after being on all yesterday and still had > 20%.

Make sure you don't have a rogue app eating your battery or any other wakelocks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] robmart:
Everything is working for me too. Thanks for the ROM! It looks like YouTube is the battery killer. Anyone know a fix for this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
How much are you using YouTube? I usually just swipe it away in recent apps when I'm done with it so it's not wasting RAM/battery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] robmart:
Maybe for 10 minutes at lunch.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] robmart:
Here is a picture.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Trying this on Verizon per your suggestion in the TWRP thread.

Played the first frame of the boot animation and then kicked me back to the splash screen (I've got it changed to the new Google logo, full color, on black). Now it's doing the splash screen. I'm expecting a 6-8 minute wait, but I'm not timing it. It's 1834 now and I guess it started a minute ago so... 1833 plus or minus a minute. And here we are at 1840. Signing into Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, it says I'm connected to LTE. Skipping Wi-Fi because I want to make sure the LTE works and I've been super conservative with my data anyway. I appear to have been signed in over LTE. Shows up in the quick toggles as Verizon Wireless, too.

I'm backing up the data (Nandroid). I'm going to wipe it, and then restore it. Just trying to back up the data would trip the TWRP data corruption bug, and it seems to not be doing it. Trying to wipe it (without wiping /data/media that is) would also trigger the bug. Just did it, nothing. Restoring the data now. I'm happy to say I'm optimistic this ROM will work for me. I thought I was stuck with Sense (which I was not unhappy with).

Also, I'm still on TWRP 2.8.7.0. Should I be using your beta, or just wait for it to be official? (I mean, I know you're the maintainer for TWRP for the M8, but the OP still says 2.8.7.0 is the current version.) 2.8.7.0 is asking me to install SuperSU, but I remember what you said and did not (either time, flashing the ROM or toying with /data).

Android Pay doesn't work out of the box, before or after the update. I know there's a method to getting it working, I just never have.

You should post this in the Verizon forum. Verizon does have a GPE ROM, but there's no reason it can't have two. In the KK days (mid to late 2014) we had two. Sinless was one and DH may have been the other one.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
First reboot is normal, that's for root.

Android Pay won't work because of Xposed. No way around that.

And you can wait for the official TWRP. It'll be released very soon.

I'm also glad to hear that LTE is working. I figured it would :).

And I don't feel comfortable posting in the Verizon section as I don't have that variant. Feel free to post a redirect to my thread there, if you'd like, though ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Titanium Backup doesn't restore apps for me, but it didn't in Sense, either. For some people it magically works out of the box like it did on Lollipop. For me, and some others, it just doesn't. So I have to re-download the apps from the Play Store, and then I can restore the app data.

I don't see how to post a redirect in the Verizon forum, and I don't want to just make a topic and link to this one in it. I shouldn't be the OP. If you make the thread and point it here, I'll post and say it works, but as I am not a developer, I don't feel comfortable owning any posts in a development forum.

//edit: Can this do Layers?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I wish. Layers code isn't present. But - you can use HTC Themes, or you can use Sensify to theme the SystemUI elements as you desire :).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bauerpower:
I assume the Sensify Rom doesn't have any of the HTC sound mods? I have a HK
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Only stock Boomsound.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] for further supporting the Verizon variant!

Now that I know this ROM exists, you hooked me in.

I will report back soon...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
The Cap has made these roms so stable that I've had to go back to distro jumping in search of bugs lol!;):good:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Not sure why I cannot download. Keeps taking me back to my subscribed forum pages when I click in m8 sensified link in op.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Just checked, it works for me. This is the link you should be clicking. That will take you to the DevDB (XDA internal download server) and the big green button should download it.

Also, for any fellow Verizon users stumbling in here, I can confirm that this works with no extra effort required on my part. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the all-in-one firmware. I don't have MM firmware; that's not released yet. I just wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik, then flashed this. Didn't flash anything else. Xposed and GravityBox are already set up (though anything you change in GravityBox requires another reboot, so change it all at once and then reboot). Android Pay won't work, but that should be expected.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
I just did and took me to main XDA landing page. Let me log out and reset defaults on app.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
It definitely works on the computer. If you're trying with the XDA, Tapatalk, or XDA Labs, try it in your Chrome browser, if you want to do it via the phone. Just keep in mind XDA's download speeds are capped at around 100KB/s (around 1MBit) so it'll take some hours. I have a 10MBit connection and nothing else going and it only used about a tenth of that. So set up the download before you go to sleep or something. (Or maybe I just caught it at a bad time.)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
it's working now since I opened in browser but geeze, why so slow? Why not host on afh?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Because XDA has been so kind as to provide space for us to store these ROMs. And my Downloads aren't slow at all, so I'm not sure why others are having issues.

However, despite your tone, I will give you a link to a mirror I already set up but never added to the OP. Enjoy.

Sensified Mirror (BasketBuild)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Well that's very kind of u Sir, thanks! It's too bad tone can be misinterpreted via text very easily. I was simply curious because most roms I've run are hosted on afh and the geeze comment was referring to the 1meg cap which is kind of silly IMHO. Thanks again though!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Well, 1MBit was all I was able to pull down. XDA is a big site and covers a ton of phones and tablets. I'm sure they offer a lot more than 1MBit (if that was all they had, it would kill the site), but that was all I was able to get. AFH is just one of many ROM hosts, and they have a bunch of mirrors.

Honestly wish we could torrent Android ROMs. I'd leave my client open and seed all the good ROMs. But I know why they don't. ROM developers like to track their downloads. You can't do that with BitTorrent.

Anyway, the answer to a slow host is to download overnight. And possibly use a download manager, but I haven't heard of any in the last few years. I mean there are browser extensions, but back in the day, people used to pay good money for them.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zerogwafa:
Yeah, this is happening for me as well. I haven't tried re-installing the apps, and restoring data, so I'll try that next. It's odd that TB is working for some, but not all.
