MMS works fine on the ROM - sounds like you need to talk to Sprint about the MMS settings on your account. You can confirm that you have a Sprint APN selected in Hangouts, and if you do, it definitely sounds like a carrier-side problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] shonmac11:
I figured out what the problem was. I tried to forward a thread of pics in hangouts. If I send the pic normally it'll work perfectly.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
Is 5.0 coming? Is it out for the regular gpe phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It's not out yet, and neither is the updated aapt required to recompile L APKs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Does this mean we will be able to update from the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
:confused:

I don't understand your question . . .
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
When the android 5.0 lollipop becomes available for gpe, will we be able to flash over this ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
I think hes asking if youll push a custom OTA or if your gonna make everyone update via a dl link
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Yo, get prepared dude, I sense Lollipop is gonna pop up any moment now...

http://www.android.com/phones/

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I don't see why not, since it can apply as an OTA over KitKat. But I'll know better once it's available.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] shonmac11:
I can't make calls but voicemail will work. Should I flash the APN zip
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I guess you can try it. I don't have any issues like that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] shonmac11:
I mean I can text but I can't get a call to go through. I don't know if it's the service of my location but everything else works flawlessly

5.0 GPE was leaked!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jhr5474:
Just saw that, hopefully we will see it for SPRINT!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yup, I know. But not useful until aapt is updated. We can't update it for Sprint otherwise.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Welp, maybe I lied :eek:

I have to check and see if [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] is okay if I upload a port of his Lollipop for Sprint testing . . . Without data it's tough for me to tell if it's working or not.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Kudos to you captain you cease to amaze us
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Hopefully he allows it. It would be awesome to test it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
He said it's fine. Now I'm just trying to make system writable. Once I flash this test build and confirm it's still working at least as much as it was, I'll upload for you to test.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Thanks man. That would be awesome.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Google Play Edition Port for Sprint - SkyDragon Edition - Lollipop

Thanks [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] for the ROM. All I did was tweak the build.prop, apns, & boot.img. This ROM might not require decompiling the framework after all!

First boot will take a while (remember, we're on ART now), and it might take a bit for the data connection to kick in too. I know it too a bit for my 5Ghz WiFi network to show up when going through setup.

It's also possible that data won't work at all. But these are things I can't test, which is why I need you :)

So, without further ado, get flashing!

P.S. I also just successfully flashed the ROM as a secondary in MultiROM, so no worries if you just want to try it out without potentially messing up your entire current setup ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 09eric09:
You're amazing Captain, thanks for everything you do around here. Much appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Getting "unexpected error" when I click on download. On both chrome and stock browser.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Fixed. I didn't notice the plus signs in the file name. Basketbuild chokes on them.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Thank you downloading now
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Thanks, downloading now. 600+mb will try flashing it along side gpe in multirom and checking it out. I'll test the hell outta as much as I can
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If the ROM is sluggish and/or gets choppy after some time, it may be because of the system write protection module. If you delete the 40wp_mod script under /system/etc/init.d, it *should* fix it. I also made SELinux on the boot image permissive, so it could be either thing. Lollipop is very particular about security . . .

It could just be my device, because it's not activated and I'm running the ROM from the ext partition on my SD card.

EDIT: Also, network is showing as "Roaming Indicator Off" instead of "Sprint". That's one of the things editing the framework will fix (once the necessary tools are available).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jbluna:
This is so exciting! Downloading now from my Lollipoped Nexus 7 too.

Gonna do a full(user data and all) wipe and see how it turns out.

Edit: Looks like it flashed fine, and Im currently waiting for the HTC splash screen to pass
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Thanks Captain flashing asap. Awesome getting off work and flashing lollipop
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Would it be okay to flash if I'm on 4.4.3 firmware and not GPE converted?

(sorry, forgot about the Q&A thread. Already put it here so whatever)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
So yay its boots and i can text and call but no data but hey its progress, and fancy! :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Okay, so we need to edit the framework. We'll have to wait until aapt is available to have it fully working.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 09eric09:

Issues

Got it to boot fine and all (HTC Harmon/Kardon Edition, not sure if that changes anything)

Just two problems

- Wifi won't turn on

- When you turn it off and back on, it goes into a bootloop.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
I believe that used to happen to me and i need to upgrade my firmware. Have you tried that?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] RiotShielder:
Could you link me a tutorial to do so?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jbluna:
Yeah, LTE seems borked but switching to 3g data works fine for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Hey, Thanks for porting this! It looks great!

20 minutes into flashing Wifi wont work. I'm gonna try reflashing. Will report back.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
It's weird I had Wi-Fi but no data
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jbluna:
The first 20 min or so of testing had jerky animations, app openings and such though that was atleast to be expected . After that period, everything's buttery smooth. I can't find much to report as of now other than yeah, the carrier indicator as you stated and LTE not working. But with 3g doing fine Im gonna give this a daily driver test. GG Cap'n lovin it

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Did you switch to 3g from the cellular settings tab?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Oh I tried everything didn't pick up for me though I'll just wait this is just a test build anyways so I'm not worried or anything
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] piexil:
Do I have to be s-off? I can't get it to boot with s-on.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Did you fastboot flash the boot.img?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
Wifi just doesnt wanna work. Flashed again and rebooted a few times, nothing.

Thanks tho for tho port!

Hope it gets fixed!

Want a log?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Are you on the latest firmware? If not, try updating.

WiFi does work, otherwise I'd have no internet at all, lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jbluna:
Wierd... From what im seeing, I'm the only one who seems to be able to get WiFi and 3g working :/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
Mine works, but I updated my firmware. Mosts Roms require it at this point. And my 3g worked after I went into cellular settings and changed it from LTE to 3g. At first it didn't, but I rebooted and it came up.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] piexil:
yes
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Then maybe you need S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StringTheory:
3g and WiFi work for me too..
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nickmilla15:
Wifi and 3g working here, but can anyone tell me how to get root? I tried flashing the latest super su zip, and tried both methods of updating through the super user app. Maybe I'm overlooking something?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Root should just work. It works for me. Titanium Backup doesn't work though. It needs to be updated, apparently. But Root Explorer is definitely working for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nickmilla15:
Ah, gotcha. So I'll revert to my previous ROM, create an update zip, flash back to this, and then restore apps via the update zip. Thanks ? I'm in love so far
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] redskykiter:
Both were working fine here. Sprint M8, Latest firmware, Clean flash. I restored back because of no 4g.

Thanks Captain for the port. I can't wait until I'm back on this again
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] piexil:
How can I update firmware with s-on? None of the ruus seem to work. I'm not on a stock rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Make sure you relock your bootloader. Then, try the RUU.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
I had to install 3 times I was selecting different options in the installer. Last attempt I left it all default selections only changed custom location to united states and it booted. First boot takes a long time thought I was in a bootloop
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
It seems like some people are having issues when picking something other than United States. Don't know if you're not from there but looks like you'll have to pick that to get a good install.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stacksptdtdm:
There is a test version of titanium backup. It restored my backup

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
Anyone having problems signing into Google?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Mine appeared to pick up my location okay.

Everyone is selecting "United States" on that first page in AROMA, right?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
When flashing, selecting everything as default it gets all installed, then reboots itself. It then proceeds to stick on splash image. I hard reboot with power+ vol up, then boot directly boot to bootloader. Back to recovery reflash with all defaults and then it boots, no data of course but it is smooth and looks like alot of fun!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] godbilla:
Yessir

I was actually downloading some torrents at decent speeds, too while tethering. 1-1.8 Mbps.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mirra520:
Yup. I selected United States. The ROM is fantastic. Everything is perfect except GPS lock.

I tried re-flashing and now I can't get to Recovery though. Something is off...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] godbilla:
I haven't gotten to test the GPS yet for navigation, but upon opening my maps app, it locks in my location fairly quick.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Oh, you're not using the Lollipop version. We're all talking about that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I should probably remove AROMA completely, but I was trying to wait to do a proper port until we got the actual OTA. I'll probably leave it as-is for now.

And there is a Titanium Backup Beta version posted to Twitter that works on Lollipop. You'll have to search to find it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mirra520:
It will pick up my location, but I think it's using the cell towers instead of the GPS. I can't use navigation at all. Have you tried GPS Test (from the play store)? It says No Fix for GPS
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] godbilla:
I gotcha. I haven't gotten to read through the last 10ish pages yet. Still, awesome ROM man.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mirra520:
Sorry for not clarifying, I'm still on 4.4.4. I flashed a couple days ago from the most updated version you have. It picks up my location fine, but navigation isn't usable.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You probably need to get a GPS lock in Sense first. That's an old problem with Qualcomm devices. GPS on that ROM definitely works.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mirra520:
Ok. I'll try flashing back and forth then. Sorry, I've been out of the root, flash, test, flash, test, etc game for a while now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] Thank you for this. Everything but data is working flawlessly for me already. Pretty crazy considering the short amount of time. This is my first taste of Lollipop, it's blowing me away. Those animations!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The below fixed GPS for me. So it's not broken (well, no more than always, at least).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mirra520:
Awesome. I'll flash back to Sense, get a GPS lock, and then reflash GPE. I'm loving everything about the stock android experience. Much preferred over Sense.

I've been trying to get Wifi for a while now with no success. I know it has to do with the fact that there's no MAC address showing. I tried varied attempts to delete files in /misc/wifi and other useless remedies. GPS works and 3g does. No LTE. Seriously a great start though!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:

Some questions/comments:

In trickster, I saw that this kernel uses zram. Isn't that a little odd? I used to use that on the evo lte, but I thought that was no longer needed due to how much ram phones have nowadays? Also, I cannot turn it off. Weird. Has anyone else noticed that using Chrome, in any way, slows things way down? I have it set so that each tab opens as it's own page in overview (multitasking), could that be why? This happens using Chrome stable and beta. Question time: do you think that this is the final build that will be pushed to gpe devices next week or so? It seems it could use a little more work, especially with smoothness here and there. Are lock screen widgets a thing of the past now? I can't find anything in settings about them. Finally, when I reboot/ power on my phone, it optimizes a couple of apps. Is this due to restoring some of them with titanium backup? If so, how do I identify which apps it's optimizing, to install them directly from the play store? Overall, this is great. Bluetooth, nfc, 3g, camera, calls and texts, and everything but lte seem to work (Ik lte is WIP.) I'm loving every moment of this, and it'll be tough to decide whether or not sense w/Lollipop will be enough to draw me back. We'll have to wait and see. Thank you to the skydragon devs for permission to port this, and of course a huge thank you to Captain. You're a machine, and you'll never know just how vital to the community you are ☺

Will this work on Verizon as well? Just wondering because they're both CDMA
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:

Maybe I'm missing something. I have Bad Boyz running in my main MultiROM slot. I installed Cpt's kernel. Got MultiROM loaded and can add this rom as a secondary. It does give me a weird error about zip being large and that it won't be usable other than as a MultiROM zip or something like that. But it flashes fine otherwise. I only change the country to US and keep everything else the same. I boot into the new lollipop rom and get the ANDROID animation. That's it. I know it can take a while to build the ART runtime. It took 5-10 mins on my N7 yesterday. But I let it go well over 20. Could I be missing something? Thanks for any help!

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It sounds like you need to update your firmware. WiFi works.

I don't know what this means. LTE works, just data connection doesn't, from what I can tell. We had the same problem on the KitKat GPE until I modified the framework.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
I have working 3g. I just changed it to 3g from LTE preferred in the settings and it connected almost instantly.

I have been using it all day. The alarm woke me up.. Phone calls were fine.. Text messages were fine.. Google maps navigation with GPS worked fine... Data worked fine (3g). Camera worked fine..

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
I know some of you guys are having issues and I hope that gets figured out or is fixed with the official GPE port, but I've been having a great time on this port. The camera is significantly better (don't do HDR, it actually hurts compared to normal pics) and battery life is amazing. Wake locks are as a minimal as they've ever been. My launcher never re-draws and I'm not getting any major freezing or lag. I have my device setup to battery saver on location, google search on and screen and google on now with location reporting, greenify on most apps with only Root Mode. Here's some screens

Edit: the last pic is with HDR on which made the colors bad and blur is a little heavy. I think the only glitches I've encountered are the screen registering trouble tap and tap slide up to unlock (only happened twice) and some apps freezing (only Facebook and Instagram once, cleared them out of recents and ky worked again) haven't tried GPS yet so I can't confirm on where it works or not. My assumption coming from the 4.4 GPE is that with location off and google search off, I'll have 8-9 hours screen on time. I'm very happy with that. I also didn't fully charge so this is from 90%. I rebooted after the initial setup of apps and account logins.
