NuSense

I agree. My HTC One M7 has been running the NuSense7 ROM and it has been great, it was the best ROM I had tried on my M7. But now I am giving my M7 to one of the kids and I picked up an M8 on Swappa, the M8 is a beautiful phone and the larger battery is nice. I'm happy to see the NuSense6 ROM and even happier to see that NuSense7 is on the way. My only problem is that the prior owner of my M8 took the lollipop update so I am stuck waiting for Sunshine app to get updated so I can flash ROM's again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
Dang that sucks about the updated phone. If your not patient, which I'm not... lol, then there are a few users who have Java cards and you can ship it to them to be unlocked. I believe Santod may even have a contact. But I'm sure they are still working on sunshine, I think the M8 is still a very capable device, as good as it's newer sibling and even against other devices. I know I'm in love with mine. It was a much needed upgrade over the M7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] morr22066:
The M8 is very capable and the specs are great, maybe it doesn't have 4 gb of RAM and a 64bit octacore cpu, but it is still a top of the line phone. I have thought about finding someone with a javacard, but I'm gonna try to hold out for a while and hope that sunshine gets updated soon. Adblockplus now works on non-rooted phones (on WiFi) and there is the new Adblockplus browser so at least I don't have to put up with all the ad's while I'm waiting. But I do miss all of the options and benefits of having a rooted phone and running NuSense ROM's...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] F1fan07:
Santod,

You rock and count me as one of the ones who hope you continue on with M8 builds, both Sense and GPE. Your work is second to none.

Aman to that brother! [MENTION=585156]Sonto[/MENTION]d is the beast!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Y'all might as well let this thread die, he ain't giving it to us lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Baba Booey:
The M8 really could use this ROM santod.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mcampos7:
Well said.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
A developer can request a thread closed if they so desire. They do it when a thread needs to be cleaned, or if they abandon the project, or the phone. I don't know [MENTION=1272062]santod[/MENTION] 's status, but it's up to him to decide. Maybe he feels NuSenseSix is as good as it's going to get until Sense 7 officially drops. I mean, I've seen Nu...Seven on the M7 board, someone linked it, I think, on Reddit, but maybe Sense 7 runs well on the M7. It really doesn't on the M8. When it comes out in August, who knows, maybe we'll get an update. I hope so, choices are good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Go back in the thread. It's either this one or another.. He said he wasn't bringing it here because of reasons he doesn't wanna discuss
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Well, I guess that's that then. It sucks, but we can't know his reasons if he doesn't want to share, much less his mind. At least we have viable options. Well, not for Sense 7, but in a couple months that'll be a moot point. I'm running another Sense 6 ROM and I'm quite happy with it. The alternatives I'd consider are broken in the last form I checked on 'em, and one is soft bricking phones, or a combination between it and a recovery.

However, if I may speculate... When Lollipop first came to our phone, on the Sense 6 side, there were a few developers who got ahold of an early copy of Sense 6. At first they all kept quiet about it, but someone posted it, and then another, and I remember the last one saying he was supposed to wait but since everyone else was, he released as well. Maybe he got a working, not buggy copy of Sense 7 and was asked to sit on it, and is doing so for sake of a relationship with the leaker or HTC or whomever it is that is hooking these guys up.

I wish the OEMs would just work with the ROM community openly. It would be good for PR and it's not like we're hurting anybody, running alternate or different software.

Or it's something else and I'm way off base, but absent facts, one can only speculate.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
If I remember correctly, the statement he made wasn't quite so absolute. He did make the statement, but it had more of a "maybe/maybe not" sort of tone, I believe.

A$ for hi$ rea$on$, I wonder if he wa$ getting the $upport from the M8 community that he get$ from the M7 u$er$. I$ it po$$ible that he wa$ trying to $ubtlely drop a hint? :confused:

Maybe he could be bribed to serve it up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerryatherton:
I have a DNA as a spare. It has Nu7. It is very stable on that machine. It would be nice to have it here. He once hinted that he had it almost done for the M8. I guess it is just up to him. He supports a lot of ROMs. DNA, M7, M8 and M9. His work is always top notch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I hope it's not money. I'm betting he couldn't make it work any better than anyone else. Why it works on the DNA and M7, who knows. I don't own those phones. Sense 7 runs like a dog on the M8, and I agree, Santod does good work. Could just be he didn't want to drop a lemon. Everyone else is saying, "Yeah, Sense 7 sucks, but hey, we got the new shiny, we're willing to deal with it." Scott's (CleanROM) not pushing Sense 7 either. I think he's out for good, but before that he was saying he was going to hold off until Sense 7 came out stable. Venom's staying away from it as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] burntbean1:
I don't know. I'm on full stock, not rooted our unlocked our anything yet running 5.0.1 and it kinda runs like crap. Freezes up from time to time, and lags. I had use nusense on my DNA and it was always butter smooth. I'm wondering if the problem is lollipop.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lukegman:
I think lollipop 5.0.1 sucks and no one wants to waste time on on the suckiest sucking sucker that has an update coming...so I got a sucky piece of suck...not commenting on this Rom just lollipop suck
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
You're being a little vague. What exactly are you trying to say here? [emoji38]

Also, just to be clear, I was totally speculating earlier, when I mentioned donations as a possible reason, and I meant nothing at all against Santod when I said it. In my head though, I had already pretty much ruled out the sucky base, since that doesn't seem like one of those things one would rather "not discuss." No matter. Life goes on. Maybe I'll catch Santod at a later date, or on a later device.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Maybe he was waiting for the m9vzw 5.1 to drop, which finally did yesterday....??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
It begins.... ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zax10:
Damn it Santod just made my day. It was like when a super hero makes he return to save the day. Can't wait.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] famouscollin:
Look at all them like on one little comment santod.. it's meant to be?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
I've been on several of the available roms since January or so. I'm tired of playing around now, and I'm looking for the level of consistency and stability I was only ever able to find here. I was hoping 7 would be out soon, but I finally decided to stop waiting and simply go back to 6. Thanks for leaving it up for us, man. Downloading it now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Baba Booey:
Same here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
The M7 has all the new stuff. I however am awaiting the M8 version. Hopefully sine the m9 dropped over a month ago we will see something soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mcampos7:
If it wasn't for lack of SD card support, I'd go back to my M7 to run NS7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kbrn:
is this abandoned?? I'd like to see Nusense 7 for the m8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zach092:
I would as well! I'm definitely interested to know if its still in the works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Pretty much. I think santod traded up to the M9 and isn't developing for the M8 any longer. I'd like to believe UnSense has a future, but all signs point to no.

NuSense? Just run ViperOne if you want features or Adrenaline if you want speed. Not that ViperOne is slow, but speed is not its primary aim. Ballin' features are.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
What a shame. He just posted this in July too.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Yeah, and that kept the hype train rolling for about a month.

Honestly, and I don't mean to knock any developer's work, but why recreate existing content? We have Sense 7 ROMs. None have escaped the lag problem. People blow hot air and pretend it doesn't happen, but inevitably, it does. Sense 7 likely requires the 3GB of RAM the One M9 has, which only makes me hate manufacturers' forks of Android even more. UnSense 6 was the best KitKat ROM I ran. It took the stability of Sense and the minimalism of stock Android and combined them brilliantly. Nobody's done that with Lollipop. Maybe it isn't possible, maybe UnSense 6 was a fluke, but I'd like to think it could happen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
You don't like Digitalhigh's LolliGPE? That's what I'm in right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Oh, I love the hell out of it. Ran it for about four months. But GPS takes a dive randomly on reboots. I thought I had it solved. gps.conf taken from a Sense ROM, drop it in /system, wherever the file is, and reboot. Did that on his latest and I got a boot loop. I've generally had poor luck with the whole 5.1 branch. I'm running GPE 5.1 now, but it's the stock rooted GPE posted in this forum. So far it's held up, but I've only been running it since Monday. So far so good. If it goes south though, I'm gonna RUU and flash ViperOne 4.3.0. I think it's the most stable ROM up here, being based on the stock ROM meant for our phone. Features aren't too bad. Only left it because I wanted to experiment with stuff. Never gave me any problem but one, and that was because of an app. (I learned that if you have an app overriding notifications, you can temporarily break the Sense camera. I thought it was a ROM thing. Removed the app that was doing it and all was good.)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kbrn:
oh well!

Seems like the M8 development is almost dead and I don't get why if IMO this is still one of the best phones ..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Not dead, just not what the device deserves. M8 got screwed because the Nexus 6 came out on the American carriers, and then HTC hit a few major bumps in the road and have more or less abandoned it. So people are scattering. If you look on Swappa, the resale value has plummeted, it's around $175 now. That's not good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattie_49:
And we are getting marshmallow. Been confirmed already
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Just like it was confirmed we were getting 5.1. Which means it's up in the air.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
Can someone tell me how to fix an issue I am having? I just upgraded to lolipop the newest version here as my old sensesix was having issues. Now I am stuck in the recovery with twrp 2.8.0.7 and cant boot into the rom it just loops in the recovery. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Upgrade to the latest version of twrp. And I think you must clean flash. Atleast I do anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I'm thinking that's a typo and you meant 2.8.7.0 as that's the latest and I don't think there ever was a 2.8.0.7. If not, you'll want the latest TWRP.

If you came from KitKat, you should definitely have clean flashed — not just dirty flashed the Lollipop version over the KitKat one.

But when coming up to Lollipop it's more than just the ROM. You need to be on the latest firmware. Personally I think the best way is to just RUU to 5.0.1. Flash this. Your internal storage gets wiped, it rewrites all the partitions, and drops you in the stock ROM, 5.0.1 with Sense 6, and it's rooted. They have a TWRP 2.8.6.0 you can flash the same way, and then from that just flash up to 2.8.7.0.

But if you're savvy with flashing, you can just flash the Lollipop firmware. Then clean flash the ROM (this one, assuming that's the one you want that's bootlooping).

If you've done all that, try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
I did come from kit kat but was the 4.4 version of nusensesix. Not sure I remember how to flash the firmware using the sdk route. Can you give me a quick run down of the commands? I am failry good with it but searching for it on xda is a feat in and of itself. I may need the firmware and yes the twrp is the 2.8.7.0 as I did not type it correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I don't know SDK — do you mean ADB/Fastboot? That's fairly easy. Go here . You want this download, I think. I'm confused because he says it comes with TWRP.

When flashing, and you probably know this, but you never want to flash a ROM using a recovery that is older than your ROM base. So for example if 5.0.1 came out on October 1st last year (I don't have the exact date off-hand), any recovery made before that should be a no-no. Case in point, CWM, or ClockWork Mod. Fine recovery, but it hasn't been updated for us since the middle of last year. No one should be using it to flash Lollipop ROMs. That is just asking for trouble. So really, any TWRP that came out after Lollipop originally dropped should be fine. So it should be okay to flash that. It's the Lollipop firmware, plus TWRP. I don't know what version, but you can always update TWRP again after.

From the other topic:

To clarify, most firmware flashes done in Fastboot will fail the first time. And this is normal. Simply repeat the command, and it will succeed the second time. If you've been around XDA for any amount of time, you've seen people say to flash something 2-3 times. Most of the time it's BS, superstition. This isn't.

So, you had an HTC Thunderbolt before, eh? The M8 is my first HTC, but I have a friend who had one. It was so cool. I remember it as the first Android phone that, to me anyway, was really impressive. 1GHz CPU on a phone. And that cool boot animation. Shame HTC isn't doing so good these days. I thought the new One series (starting with M7) would be a turning point, rather than just a minor peak.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
OK I am sooooooooooooo lost. I dont do this often enough and now cant remember or find the notes from my last firmware update, recovery load, and rom install. I am trying to update everything and seem to be lost and having issues with the firmware part of things. From trying to research with so many different people saying so many different things I am thoroughly confused on this forum. Can someone kindly message me with links to the correct files, and a step by step tutorial on what to do? I am not a novice but I am struggling figuring out hboot, firmware, rom and how to install each and what is first. Everything on here is more for the developer and not the end user. I lost all my old files from notes people shared 2 years ago when a hard drive crashed and I lost everything. TIA for any assistance and knowledge you would like to share,
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
I am still confused about radio, firmware and the names everyone is using. Can someone tell me what radio, firmware number, will go with the newest nusensesix rom? I have been at this all day and so far cannot get help to figure out the names of the files, where to get them from, or a quick recap on how to use the sdk to install. I know where I have the sdk on my computer but changing directory to get to the files is also still confusing. For the pc world I deal more with the hardware and not software. Please can anyone assist?

Using latest Rom and extended settings don't seem to work. Some settings do but setting double tap to screen off does nothing. Also quick unlock when putting in pin doesn't work on lock screen. Anyway to get these options to work?

Also, is it ok to update HTC apps from play store or will it mess up exposed and settings?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Not sure, last I knew, all that stuff was working fine on this rom.

But I've been running NuSenSeveN far too long to know why you'd be having those issues.

Since folks seem to want it still, I think I'll post my latest stable build tonight and see what you guys think of it.

It uses latest 5.0.2 m8 base libs and drivers and last 5.0.2 base for m9.

Has full stagefright fix with all vulnerabilities patched, APM, UI tweaks, xposed option in aroma, all latest apps, and much more...running well for me.

Hboot 3.19.0.000, radio 1.12.20.1211, and OS 4.17.605.5. I am having issues with the hboot and every time I reboot I seem to revert back with gmail as if it were just installed and have to update. Also the red text is on the hboot and cant seem to overwrite it. Can anyone tell me what I need to update or what steps to take now to fix things before installing his new release when it comes out please.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Any chance on an update to UnSense? That was really cool. AOSP look, even worked with GravityBox, but Sense under the hood. GPS worked, speakers worked, it was great. We don't have anything like it. There are GPE ROMs, but they have GPS issues. We have a few Sense 7 ROMs, but they have lag issues. I'm guessing they expect the extra gig of RAM the M9 has. But there is nothing like UnSense.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I'll spell it all out when I post...basically these items

Firmware requirement/link

Red Text Removal thread/Link

I could explain the Gmail issue, but waste of time if updating to latest when posted.

Basically you have duplicates in your /data/app, could remove lowest numbered folder in a root file browser/ES file/etc...

Been 99.5% done for a while, just had one nagging issue I wasn't able to resolve this time.

Was able to fix it in the Kitkat variation, but the same code to fix it, isn't working for me yet in LP.

Well I've had my MDA Vario (Molski 2.26.10.2) for almost a year now but I'm looking at changing providers to Orange and going for the SPV M1300. What I don't want to happen however are issues like the stylus clam breaking, slow processor speed etc etc as I have with my Vario.

Anyone here had their device for quite a while and use it actively on a regular basis (i.e. at least once per hour)? I'd love to know your opinion on whether it's worth signing up for a new contract with one.

Other bonus I can see with it is that Orange are scheduled for Jan 07 for their HSDPA network which the device supports.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
Currently on hboot 2.09. I unlocked my bootloader but I seem to be unable to gain root access. I tried using the Universal HTC Toolkit to flash TWRP and flash superuser but that didn't work. I flashed TWRP 6.00 from fastboot since I know that TWRP flashes SuperSU when you reboot from it. Long story short, I still don't have root access. I got an app to check if I had root access and it said I did not. I've gone back into recovery, but whenever I try to reboot from recovery my phone freezes and reboots correctly, but doesn't check for superSU.

Anyone have any idea? Or have a superSU or superuser zip that I could flash so I could gain root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Not sure about that TWRP version you're using since the most recent version is 2.7.x. At any rate the most recent version of SuperSU can be found in the link below. Download the zip and flash in recovery.

For some reason you have posted in the Android Wear section of XDA. Probably because you didn't read the rules when you joined (about 10 seconds before you posted). You also didn't search XDA for your request, as if you had you would have got literally hundreds of hits.

I suppose this is too much to hope, but have you by any chance searched Google Play Store for 'mock location'? Doh! I must be stupid, we've already established that you don't search.
