[General Questions and Answers] cardula:
Thanks for the quick replies!

I was a bit confused about 2) because I read somewhere that if you make a nandroid backup of a stock ROM, then install a custom ROM (non-Stock based ie CM, PA or OmniROM) you must flash the stock ROM again before you can restore the nandroid backup, or else restoring the nandroid backup will not work. Is this true?

Consider the following example, say I:

-flash TWRP on my device and root

-make nandroid of stock, rooted ROM

-wipe /data, /system, /sdcard and caches and reboot back into recovery

-ADB push a non-stock custom ROM .zip file and flash the custom ROM

-decide I want to return to stock, rooted ROM after a while

-Boot into TWRP, then wipe /data, /system, /sdcard and caches and reboot back into recovery

-ADB push my original stock, rooted nandroid backup to /sdcard while in reocvery

-restore nandroid backup

What would be the outcome of the above example? I'm very curious...but I'd like some advice before attempting something like this myself as I'm still kinda new to all this :)

BTW I'm now comfortable flashing back to stock using fastboot and the google facotry image to restore a Nexus device so I now know how to do this in case things go south. I'm just curious if this would work on a device where returning to a full stock state isn't so easy.
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
No you don't need to install anything to get back to the previous state. So if you had a stock rooted ROM, then backed it up. But you decided to flash, let's say. Cyanogenmod but you wished to return back to stock, you don't need to flash stock ROM, all you have to do is just wipe data and restore your backup.

And for the example.

The outcome would be, you would be resulted with a stock, rooted rom.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BklynNetschamps:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if you guys know of any way to be able to make the keyboard appear/disappear with a fade/smooth effect. I have SwiftKey and when I have to type it just appears with no effect and disappears with no effect. I want to make it look better and smoother, is there any mod or something I can do to make that happen? My friend has a stock Sprint S4 and her Swiftkey keyboard does that. Any help would be appreciated!

Very nice release =P I can't wait to see the data fixed =P such a lightweight rom =P with basically everything working so far =P
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Glad to see someone try it. Would you say the data issue is enough to keep it from being a daily driver? Have you found a workaround by chance?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
It's definitely not a daily driver for that reason alone... I was able to get wish washy data by pulling down status bar and toggling data on and off, it is like idle time is this Roms worst enemy, you get roughly 30seconds to do something with data or you lose it, once data problems are resolved, I believe that this ROM will become a daily driver for many people, at least those that don't want HTC SENSE on their phones and not going all the way to Cyanogenmod/AOSP/AOKP ROMS...

Odex version: http://d-h.st/rEC | http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358542737

I enabled ART by default on it, so first boot will take a little longer. If you decide you'd prefer to use Xposed, I left it there. Installing the Xposed framework will automatically default your device back to Dalvik.

I toggled the LTE/3G/2G toggle, and lost data.

I could only do emergency calls only. Could not get it to turn back on.

A reboot might could have fixed it, but airplane mode didn't.

I just returned to a backup, and all is fine again.

Don't know of it can be duplicated. I couldn't get it back on to try.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ttieder:
That happened to me to
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Which version are you using? The toggle should be LTE/3G/1x/Global. The toggle you describe sounds like the GSM toggle from the old version.

If it ever happens again, the easiest way to fix it is to set the network mode back to "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)" in the hidden phone menu (*#*#INFO#*#* in Dialer).

But that shouldn't be an issue on any of the latest builds I posted. I haven't seen those settings since I made the latest overlay updates. If it happens again, a screenshot and log would be helpful, along with steps to reproduce.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I flashed the one you posted last night.

My "toggling" was from the quick settings.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
Data/Signal icon overlap?

I noticed the 3G/4G icon (with the up/down arrows to the right) is basically under the signal icon. It looks cool with the 3G or 4G in the top left of the square created by the signal triangle, but when signal is not full strength, you can see the up/down arrows from the data icon through the right half of the signal bars. Is that intentional or a bug, and is it just me? :)

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
No need for a full clean flash. Just uninstall the Xposed APK if you have it installed, dirty flash the ROM (wipe cache/dalvik), then disable SU from within the SuperSU app, and Android Pay should activate just fine. Then you can reenable SU within the app again, and voilà.

It just worked for me and it took all of about 3 minutes.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zzz73:
did you actually flash the Xposed framework uninstaller zip in recovery or just disable the modules? i used the method Captain said (flashed the uninstaller zip and disabled superSU) and i was able to get it working.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] henderjr:
Thanks! I'll try that!

I flashed the uninstaller zip but didn't remove the xposed apk and disabled superSU. Didn't work for me. Nothing else special installed. I'll try the clean flash removing the xposed apk and disabling supersu. Thanks all!

Edit : worked. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
For anyone that is experiencing LTE and slow connection issues on the newer build just copy and paste the sprint specific build prop entry at the top of the older build's build.prop to the top of the newest build's build.prop, power off, wipe caches and it should help fix the slow hand off or trouble connecting back to data after being in an area that had no data. Seems to have helped my issues tremendously.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting . . . I assumed those entries didn't do anything, but perhaps they have an effect after all. I'll have to let [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] know.

At least the network-related entries. Maybe you can do some research into which settings actually matter?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
Yeah captain I believe you're right unfortunately. Thought I was on to something because I hadn't had data dropping issues for over a day after making the change but just recently went in a area with low/no service today and was unable to reestablish connection again. It's something to do with data being lost, seems that after data is lost in an area it either times out or its unable to reconnect once back in a known coverage area. May try with your kernel and see if it's something tied to the stock kernel or if it's more than that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] lowrider32119:
It's definitely a switching issue. If you set mobile data to 3g after (loss or switch) it works. Still lte does not come back until reboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] lowrider32119:
Looks to be an RIL failure. Attached logcat of the radio.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Chewieez:
I'm very curious to see this through. I've been suffering from this switching issue on DigitalHigh's rom and I can't figure it out. I tried an RUU once which didn't help. I am about to try it again and clean flash the newest rom version. It's interesting that it also seems to be happening with this rom. I haven't run this rom long enough to notice it.

Thanks for providing a logcat. I've been meaning to try and get it one but I never know when I'm going to not be able to reconnect to LTE. For me it's mainly going from wifi back to LTE. But lately it's gotten to where even when I am only on LTE, it will lose data connection and never regain it. I have to erase the telephone database and reboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
[MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] uses this ROM as his base . . .

But I don't plan on doing any more than posting a base - hopefully [MENTION=4980163]tuxattack80[/MENTION] can do the heavy lifting here to fix any issues. I stepped back a while ago but felt a responsibility to keep updating the base.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
Appreciate you doing what you do Captain. I'll see what I can do but no promises for one I'm not really sure where to start as im not a programer and two I'm really busy with my home life. Been busy seeing what career choices I may have now that I've got my Journeyman license along with being a parent. If anyone has some ideas or insight please feel free to take part.

I tried flashing a few custom kernels and none of them work. Any idea why? With Hypernova, phone doesn't boot, with Elite and Quantum, phone boots and then goes to a boot loop.

Link works for me.

https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...ly/ROMs/4.04.1700.x_boot-f2fs_BeyondStock.img

As far as the other kernels, are they supposed to work for Sprint? Did you flash the GPE versions? Are you using f2fs?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] henderjr:
I can't seem to get that link to work either.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Must be a BasketBuild problem. In that case, you can just download it from the Downloads tab of DevDB.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I threw together a quick test ROM using some additional build props and ril files from the latest Sprint ROM. If someone could test it and let me know if data works, and if it's any better than previously, that'd be great. It's possible that the Sprint-specific files need to be included for everything to work right, but honestly, I'm not sure.

I'll post a link when the upload is complete.

I just flashed this and so far so good. Just as a note, this morning I lost LTE data and was not able to get it back through the usual fixes (reboot, airplane mode switch on/off, wipe cache/dalvik cache).

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Great! Keep us posted.

(getting data back could just have a result of the telephony database being deleted and rebuilt by the flash)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Leonarthius:
I was just about to comment on this issue. I live in NYC, and every time I go underground, I lose signal and am unable to get LTE back up. 3G works fine, though. For me, restarting the phone fixes the issue. I also have multiboot so I can update my PRL on the go but that doesn't solve the issue stated above! I also thought that it would be some database issue, but I am unsure how to edit it like in the stock rom or what to do... so here I am. :eek:

Hi captain, any way possible to create a zip that doesn't require flashing the whole ROM again?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No. What's wrong with flashing the ROM again? It's just a dirty flash.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Oh OK captain, so just clear cache and dalvik and good to go?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You really don't even have to do that. Just flash it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] LemonNinja:
I'm having an issue with LTE connecting when I turn on mobile data and it will take quite a while to connect (not the most recent build you put together to test data but the one on the page) is there a way to fix this through build.prop or something?

The whole reason I put together the test build was to try and fix the LTE/data issues. So testing that is the only potential way to fix it.

Hey Cap, I'd like to test your test ROM but I'm on 4.04.1700.6...will dirty flashing really test your test ROM or do I need a clean flash? I was on 4.04.1700.9 last week and had data issues so I went back to 4.04.1700.6.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Dirty flash should be fine. The changes are all on /system, which will get wiped when you flash anyway.

not trying to muddy the waters, but i believe DH added all your new Sprint radio stuff to his GPE. if so, i just had a data drop that required a reboot to get back from. so DH GPE is not fixed yet. i know you guys are working hard on it. let me if know if i can provide more info or if i can help.

*newest Sprint firmware, 5.1 GPE firmware, full-wipe clean install of DH GPE
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjhuffer:
I've been doing some testing for the newest update with the prop changes and just some preliminary findings. I do have xposed and gravity box installed and have removed everything HTC from the device (dotmatrix, weather, gallery, etc). Some screenshots of my setup are below. When cycling through the Cellular tile and settings, the LTE stopped and started right back up no problem. When cycling through the Network Tile, 2G would not work, 3G would not connect, but when turning back to LTE, it took a while but eventually found the LTE again. When cycling between the 3G/LTE options in the main Celluar network settings, the phone was able to connect to 3G just fine but when going back to LTE, it tried to find LTE but just stayed on 3G. Tried to cycle the cellular data switch and now I have 3G data but no 3G/LTE icon is showing in the status bar. When I restarted, LTE came back. I have not tested a natural drop from LTE to 3G. I have pretty good LTE at my work and my house so I will keep an eye on it. I'm on the latest firmware. Considering I never switch between network modes, I'm simply going to remove the Network quick tile.

My guess to the culprit of the problem is when the phone is switching between 3G and LTE. I don't think that turning the cellular radio off and on has caused any problems.

Oh and I did this on a completely clean flash.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Unfortunately that does muddy the waters, because I'm not sure exactly what he included in his build. So unless you're testing on this ROM, there really isn't anything I can do with your feedback.

I also don't recommend using any GPE firmware, which might also make a difference.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Captain, need your help again. I've done everything on this new build to get Android pay to work. Used the uninstaller for xposed and disabled super user. Won't work bro. Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Only suggestion is to clean flash. That seems to work consistently.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] SeventhGen:
Captain, after dirty flashing the test ROM my data comes back on its own when I lose data...no reboot required for me to get data back. My phone toggles between no data, 3g and lte like it did before the update. I'll continue to run this ROM and give feedback again. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjhuffer:
Captain, after a clean flash with the settings above I've had really good luck. When I went to my gym my data dropped to 3G in the locker room like it usually does. Upon leaving the gym, it went right back to LTE. All of the icons worked and the connection is solid. Just another though but I flashed a sense rom and updated my profile/prl before flashing this. I'm also on the latest firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Leonarthius:
Yeah, after reading more previous messages, I noticed I was completely misunderstood. I tried flashing your test rom but it failed. TWRP claimed that the zip was corrupt. :/ I am currently on multirom TWRP, so maybe the kernel for the rom you'd like me to test needs to be beyondstock?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That usually means a bad download. Did you check the md5?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
Is the test ROM compatible with f2fs? Just curious because I would have to reformat to test it if it's not compatible.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The test ROM includes the BeyondStock kernel, so yes, it's compatible.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thefisch6:
That's what I thought, but the wording of his last question made me think I was wrong. Thanks for the confirmation. Will test and let you know the results.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Hi captain. I clean flashed. Disabled super user. Still no go. Do you think having the beyond stock kernel could effect this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No, because I've done it myself on that ROM. All I had to do was disable Superuser and Android Pay was able to add my card with no issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cmorrice:
Can you make a completely stock version please? Android Pay only works when its stock (at least for me only when its stock) and I would love to use Android Pay.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Just take the ROM zip and remove the supersu folder, if you don't want it rooted. That's really the only thing that isn't stock about it.

If you want to use the test version instead, just take the boot.img from the stock version and there you have it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cmorrice:
What about busybox?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Delete it from system/xbin.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Leonarthius:
so I dirty flashed it, and it only picked up LTE automatically after leaving the underground train once out of 3 times. I'm going to do a dirty flash again and give it a second go tomorrow, and if not, I'm going for a clean install, tomorrow night.

As per the questions before on Android Pay, what DEFINITELY WORKS is 1. using the uninstaller zip for xposed, clearing cache and dalvik, then disabling root through SuperSU app and rebooting, after that I was able to add all my cards without a problem. I haven't tested paying with them, but so far so good on that area.
