Should see the little keyboard icon in the status bar when you have the keyboard open.

Pulldown status bar and tap the notification.

You should then see the Google Keyboard option.

Then if you open Language & Keyboard settings and open options for Google keyboard > Advanced settings > Color Scheme > Material(if you want the L keyboard)

All this excitement with the ota gave me the itch to flash back to sense from aosp. Its been awhile but I will say you knocked it out of the park with this rom. Great job. Faster than I expected coming from carbon. Thanks!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
New Firmware?

Hey Santo,

Is there a new firmware that came out recently that we should be updating to? As always thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yeah there is and for once, I didn't have to post it. :)

You can find it and discussion about it here: LINK

It's also been added to Tigers post where my previous files were posted. LINK
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Is anybody else having waiting for network issues on play store? I'm not sure if its just coicedence of new firmware or just happened.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Only time I see that is if you are trying to update a large app, and there is essentially a prompt waiting for you.

Asking if you want to update via wifi only, as that is default for large apps.

Zoe did that for me, until I clicked to update it by itself, which then it showed the prompt I just mentioned, I unchecked wifi only and away it went with its updating...

Hope that helps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
I'm familiar with that one. These are just normal apps. It just did it with tiny leg flashlight. Earlier it was just another regular app. If I'm correct I've read about this issue before but can't remember the exact but it had to deal with the firmware and is base being old or just the base but I could be wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cmo220:
Are you just talking about Google being slow downloading updates? I had that problem earlier today. In an area where I can usually download quickly it took 3-4 minutes to download a 3mb app. The next few were just as slow and I waited until I got back to wifi.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Downloading slow is one thing but waiting for network is another had to cancel and restart for it to kick in
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nexvestrum:
Hey I'm having some weird problems and I feel like its something really dumb that I missed.

I've flashed the rom multiple times and each time it starts up fairly quickly but i get a non-stop chain of "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" then after a minute or so the phone reboots and hangs on the "htc ONE" logo, I have to force reboot it (pwr+vol up) and it does the same thing.

My m8 is S-OFF via sunshine, TWRP 2.8, with yesterdays 4.4.3 firmware installed.

Any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Did you wipe system and data prior to flashing?

Did you flash the firmware without the boot.img?

If you flashed the one with the secure boot.img, then the boot.img is probably not getting overwritten by the rom zip.

If you didn't wipe first, then it's maybe just that.

Not really sure as I never had that force close come up once and haven't seen anyone else mention it either.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Could be the version of TWRP
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BotFly:
Something went wonky. Just backup, full wipe including system/data/dalvik/cache, then reflash... Might want to consider updating your firmware while you're at it...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nexvestrum:
I did not flash the firmware with the boot.img file, I wiped dalvik and cache but wanted to avoid wiping my data. Using TWRP wipe function to wipe system, dalvik, and cache then flashing again to see if that changes anything.

When I googled around for the acore FC issue and there were "solutions" from clearing the cache to uninstalling facebook...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
It's nothing to do with the rom, its because you did not wipe data and are likely coming from a rom which has incompatible data.

This is known as "dirty flashing" and is generally unsupported by most devs, myself included, unless coming from a previous version of the same rom and the dev states dirty flashing is ok.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nexvestrum:
I know, I'm an awful person D: I got a little too excited and didn't want to spend the time copying my data, doing a full wipe now. It's also a bad habit from my DNA, never did a full wipe on that thing and it happily ran whatever ROM I threw at it.

Annnnd Everything seems to be working fine now. I feel dumb now. Thanks for the help and the awesome ROM!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
No problem.

Typically if you are flashing different roms which are the same android base it may work out without wiping data.(sometimes)

But if you are coming from say 4.4.2 > 4.4.3 then your old data is based on a different API/OS version and data may not be stored the same on the newer version or is simply not compatible.

Anyways, glad you are up and running. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Did the firmware flash from sd card per Tiger's thread and everything confirmed working with NuSense 1.5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BobbySteel:
How does GSM roaming work with this rom? Anything to worry about? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BotFly:
There's an x-class solar storm barreling towards earth. Might be a tad worrisome...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
I just updated my firmware and my goodness the phone is working great!!!! The phone used to get stuck on 3G when I knew I had 4G available....it has not dropped the 4G connection on me once in several hours in the same location that I used to have trouble! I highly recommend this firmware update with the NuSense rom!!!!

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

YES, I JUST DID IT AND IT IS WORKING ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! See my response to Santo above!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I'm trying bro lol if I was not at work I would have posted my own but dottat beat me to it. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Anxiously waiting on new build. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Soon, was actually done last night.

Just running it through its paces before uploading.

So far, so good, so it shouldn't be too long... ;)

This new job likes to get in the way, haha. Glad to have it though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
Job schmob! Get your priorities straight, man! And, by "priorities", of course I mean our free software. XD
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Just wanted to let you know that I will be donating again after the new base is up. You have bee the ultimate champ for the m7 and m8 and I will keep supporting you! I encourage everyone to do the same!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
What will be he benefit of updating to the Verizon base? The only reason i ask is the 4.4.3 developer ROM you created has been flawless for me. Maybe I'm missing something that is possibly not working? Also will we be able to dirty flash since they are both 4.4.3? Thanks in advance
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
No major benefits that I'm aware of.

Folks often think using a Verizon specific base will make things somehow work better.

In most cases, this isn't really true.

The only exceptions in this case, would be working VVM for those that use it, I don't.

Plus the gallery foreground effect is fixed.

Other then those two things, I don't experience much of a difference, as I generally try and make my Dev based ports work just as good on Verizon, as any Rom that's actually intended for Verizon.

Glad you're enjoying the current release.. [emoji4]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
So it is techinically a downgrade of software version number right? Then I might be switching back once you get all the verizon blobs.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Hey Santo will ART work with exposed framework on the new build? Just curious..... Thanks......
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
No, Xposed is not compatible with Art yet.

It won't work with any rom until its creator releases an Art compatible version.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Hi Santo will the new ROM be posted in this thread? Or is it elsewhere and I am missing it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
Santod I of course love the rom. I was curious about the dark theme. When activated it seems some windows make it tough to read what's under or in them. Is there something you can adjust in later mods for maybe a light grey instead of black writing for that? Otherwise I love love love this rom and the phone capabilities.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Update will be posted in this same thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "TODAY" :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Clean or dirty?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I will almost always say clean when there is a base change.

It's possible that dirty might work, but I did not test that scenario.

As I like to know that everything is working as it should, from a clean slate.

You can certainly try dirty flashing, but if you have issues, I would highly suggest starting fresh.

Probably not the definite answer you or anyone wants, but that's the best I can say.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Thats what I thought. Thanks!

Has anyone notice besides me since last greenify update if you allow it to be device manager you can slide from bottom up like if you used google search an greenify will hibernate an shut of screen. Kinda cool as it like a new way to shut of screen..

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

@santod040. Thanks for posting the stock kernel. I was trying to get one out there. I had everything I needed I think boot.img w/p disable module+modules from my device. I just couldn't fig out the updater script for the life of me....much appreciated :):)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Good looking on the update [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] flashing now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I'm up an running. No f/c on anything an so far so good on everything else.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I'm up and running as well no force closes but I'm not able to move any app to my sdcard anyone else getting the same?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Same here. I never move my apps to sd card but I tried for you an no dice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Kool ty for checking out so it's not just me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Same here, but I dirty flashed over 1.5 so I thought it might be that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I've never felt the need, so never checked.

But I can of course confirm the same, so it will be that way for everyone.

From what I understand, that's something that was implemented into 4.4.3, so technically not a bug.

(yeah it may have worked previously when we were on 4.4.2 firmware, but we obviously wanna stay on current firmware)

I'll see what I can do to skirt around it, but it probably won't be today.

I haven't tried to do that since I had my Thunderbolt. :o
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Kool other than that so far so good. Bout to flash the insecure kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
What is the difference from that and the one that comes preloaded with the rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
It's stock vzw kernel
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
lol ya read that wrong, sorry
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
All good I've been known to read sheit wrong a lot lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
That HTC xtended app is pretty sweet. 1st time I seen that in a Rom..nice
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
I dirty flashed this over the developer edition base and haven't had a single issue. I was anticipating having to clean flash but so far so good.:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Can't wait to try out though would love the dev base with the Verizon blobs
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Pretty much the same thing... ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Says the software version :P
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Yo this damn Rom flies.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
Ive noticed that in the new update and the previous version, after a restart if you let it sit, it will go to sleep and wake up by itself and go back to sleep. Is that normal?

I clean flashed on the new update and didnt add anything extra
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yeah, I have noticed this after initially enabling Xtended Settings, may be related to that module, not really sure.

I'm assuming you had enabled a Xposed/modules before noticing this?

As I get the same effect on my m7 and Dna as well sometimes.

I used to think it was the HTC Backup app, but I'm not really sure.

Haven't really looked into it, as it doesn't seem to effect anything and only seems to do it after a reboot, so it doesn't bother me any.

I don't think it does this if you wake it before it goes to sleep on its own, may have to do with setting su perms for the module on boot, again, not sure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
Thought it was that to, so removed xtended and it was still doing it. Ya its not a big issue, just wanted to let you know.

On the previous version, I didnt have xtended turned on, and still was doing the same thing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I know this happens to me on tranquil Rom..I'll reboot my phone set it down an notice it wakes an then shuts back off. I never even thought twice about it. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Varekai:
I'm on nV and also does it on reboot. I always thought it was my multipicture wallpaper app because the wallpaper would change as well when it turned back on after a reboot. Guess it's not that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
Hey another awesome ROM. So after I flashed this I no longer see the boot animation. Same thing happened to me when i clean flashed stock rooted 4.4.3. This time I dirty flashed this ROM over my normally working rooted stock 4.4.2. I'm using philz edition cwm recovery. Could the recovery be the reason for my boot issue?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
While I don't suggest dirty flashing 4.4.3 over 4.4.2, your issue is likely that you haven't updated to 4.4.3 firmware yet.

If not, I highly suggest that you do, although I didn't have that issue prior to our updated firmware, other 4.4.3 roms did, so I can only assume that's why.

The 4.4.3 firmware can be found in the link in the Op, but here is that link again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
First thing I did before ever flashing a 4.4.3 rom was update to the new firmware (flashed using fastboot). Maybe it didn't take... I did it twice as the thread said to do in case it says it failed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Looks like it took, so it's likely the dirty flash that did it then.

As I haven't had any issues with boot animation or any other reports of the same.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
OK I'll try switching to twrp as well just to check if maybe that's the problem. I'll do a clean flash in the morning
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I'm getting a force close in the gallery
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] grimlocksmash:
Happening here as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I tested this extensively and it's working fine for me, so here's what I found:

1.) This did not happen for me at all,..... until I updated the system app to the updated one from the Play Store. (so I reverted the included app, to the stock app)

After that, once it updated for me, I had zero issues, so long as I kept the stock one in system.

2.) If the update breaks Gallery for you, you can first try an sd card reformat, or you can uninstall the Gallery update and uncheck auto-update and see if it stops.

3.) I had the same thing occur with the stock kernel if I used the updated apk in /system/app, so it's not kernel or rom related as far as I'm concerned, as I'm using all stock blobs, framework, etc,...

4.) I believe it has to do with the specific changes HTC made to the Gallery in the latest update. One thing they added was a bunch of Foregrounder changes and additions and it doesn't seem to be a stand alone apk, but more of a patch to the existing apk.

Bottomline, it's working 100% fine for me as is with stock apk in /system/app and the update applied to /data/app from the Play Store.

If you flashed another kernel, it's possible that could have effected it as well, even the stock kernel I posted.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Oh I did flash the insecure kernel u posted. Is there a zip floating around back to what's in the Rom besides dirty flashing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
No, I generally don't post the roms kernel separately for a few reasons, but dirty flashing will work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I'll just reflash tomorrow. I'm not a fan of dirty flashing. I rather start fresh.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Cool., sorry about that. Let me know if that does in fact resolve it for you.

I'd like to find out if that is what caused that to happen for you and if so I can look into that more and see about updating that zip.

I already have an idea why, but won't know until I have time to look at that kernel zip tomorrow.

That's most likely why though, as it's working flawlessly for me and I made sure, as this came up on the previous rom as well.

That was actually a case of me including the updated apk in system...would have worked fine otherwise. :banghead: Silly HTC
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xbox4414:
I dirty flashed from 1.5 to 2.0 and now my WiFi keeps disconnecting and having sms issues in sending. Should I start clean and flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yes :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
So I did a clean flash with both Philz CWMR and now with TWRP; still the same thing happening, doesn't go into to boot animation. If its a reboot it stays on white HTC screen, if I do a hot-reboot it'll stay black until boot finishes. What should I try next, re-flashing the firmware? Is there a recovery flashable version I can do without fastboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Re download your zip. Check md5 an try again. Twrp is fine. An no recovery firmware zip. You can use SD card of you don't like fastboot. Myself I only fastboot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
Not that I don't like fastboot, just that i'm at work and dont have access to ADB or fastboot capabilities till I get home.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You can use SD card method it requires no PC. If you look in my firmware thread I think in post 605 there r directions is you never updated with SD card or wait till you get to the crib an use PC.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
Santod, can I an MD5 to verify against? I don't see anything in the OP. Mine came out to be d8069ebab5c14afb30e56e82c145f8cc

Ok [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] I reflashed and I'm still getting force closes on the gallery. Not every time I'm in the gallery does it forces close but it still happens
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Then I'd say you need to reformat your sd card.

There must be pictures on there it doesn't like.

I'm not having any force closes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Ok will do and will report back
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
I have this happening and I don't have and sd card in the phone. The only thing I did was flash the stock kernel. I am a bit fuzzy on what the fix is... Are you saying to flash another kernel?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I'm saying it's working 100% fine for me without changing the kernel from the one I included.

If you changed the kernel, I suggest reflashing and not changing the kernel, as that could be potentially causing the issue.

Wipe, flash rom, profit. No problems with it on my end at all.

If you installed the Gallery update from the Play Store, I suggested uninstalling the update, to see if that helps.

Other then that, there's not much more I can suggest, since I can't reproduce it on my end.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
Ok, I flashed the stock insecure kernel you posted as a course of habit. I always have better luck with stock. I will reflash again. See if it fixes the problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
ya same issue with the gallery fcs

Happens without updating the gallery and after updating the gallery

mine only fc's when going into camera shots, i have other pictures as well and when going in there everything is ok

I've already formatted the sd card directly on the phone when i was flashing the new firmware.

The previous version, I could get into gallery and camera shots and would fc a few times when scrolling up and down

idk if this helps or not, just informing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] faithhh:
Thank you! noob question : odex or deodex which1 must i choose for why? :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Maybe this will help, I linked to this in my M7 stock rom thread and it seemed to help clarify.

Hopefully it can help here as well.

Essentially, if you plan on modifying rom files, manually theming stuff, then you would want Deodexed.

If you are content using what comes in the rom and using Xposed, then Odex would suit you fine and the first boot would be faster.

Though the boot time difference is only effected on first boot, so that's not really something I would base my decision on.

Anyhow, here is that link I mentioned:

Odex >>> What's the difference? < << Deodex
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Working fine for me on deodex 1.2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
I'm going to reinstall
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You need to reboot at least one time after first boot.

This is one main reason I mentioned rebooting once after first boot, in the OP.

That should be what you were experiencing. Let me know.

This is due to kernel configurations I'm using within the rom, that will run after first boot, using an init script upon that initial reboot.
