Well hey let's just hope this doesn't turn into a charade like yesterday and that we get it at a decent hour. Save all of our fingers from clicking check for update for hours on end.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d1ez3:
What exactly is everyone looking forward to with this new update? The only thing I can see is possibly helping with boot times/animation and using bluetooth controls which don't work on 4.4.3 roms for me yet. Are there major performance or battery increases that you are planning on seeing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
There are some security fixes which are never a bad thing, but I think you nailed it. I don't use Bluetooth so I can't speak on that end but it's definitely not a major upgrade. Santod mentioned early that the new firmware probably won't help the boot times on the other 4.4.3 roms...his boots like a champ though, and has for a long time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwanshoom:
I think a lot of folks are looking for updated radios and possibly the implementation of VoLTE.

oh noesss! lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
I like how they highlight that "device root vulnerability has been resolved". What a joke.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
I am 99% positive they are referring to towel temp root.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hyperfire21:
The changelog doesnt mention anything about improved cellular connectivity.. hopefully there are new radios or something to help with my Tmobile issues.

Also no mention of VoLTE
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
I talked with baadnewz(developer of IC), he is on Int'l. When he updated his int'l version of the rom, WITH THE STOCK KERNEL, he had NOT updated to the newest firmware and he got the really long boot times. Same story with the sprint variant. As soon as Baad update the firmware, the long boot issue disappeared. Same on Sprint.......but as i said in another thread, if you get the right combination of libs, blobs, kernel, and modules for each variant, you can solve the long boot times that way without the firmware. But the consequence with this is you end up with a 442/443 hybrid of those things, not a 100% 443 files. Just my two cents......

Ha. Hahahaha. Priceless.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Mines not at all a hybrid.

Not using anything from 4.4.2 and boot times are normal, WiFi works, Bluetooth button controls work.

It's definitely boot.img issues, not firmware.

But everyone seems to wanna believe what they want to. :)

No worries...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I agree with this one. If what i think is correct your 4.4.3 is a port from like at&t stock for example

Which ramdisk are you using for your boot img?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] OdinValknir:
Haha I saw the picture yesterday.. I know a lot of people with CrApple... To them it's more about the name... They only understand what someone tells them to buy... Nothing about the actual tech specs of the devices... So millions of people will be out buying more of their crap and never understand why people would buy anything else.... I had a thought around the time jobs died... That Apple would die out over the next decade... Because they wouldn't have anything real to contribute. But as long as people go on being mindless zombies and buying what they're told to... They will always have a place it seems

Hi people please can you help me i formated my HTC one m8 vodafone uk and now it just stays on the white htc screen i can get into bootloader but recovery just reboots and sticks on htc white screen and so does the format reset please can someone i do have a macbook but do have vmware installed
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not enough info.

How did you format?

Was the phone stock, or was it bootloader unlocked, custom or stock recovery, rooted, custom or stock ROM, etc.?

All you need is a adapter so u can connect sd card to PC :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I asked about 6 questions, and you only answered 1. If you want proper help, you need to provide proper information as requested.

So the phone will not boot into custom recovery? What custom recovery, and what version? Make sure your recovery is updated as I think "No OS" is a known issue on a previous TWRP build.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] master_boy_dn:
Hi guys i find a tip to improve ram management and battery life on my XV running Android 4.3. Just flash Gapps 4.4.4 via CWM in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857

Flash GApps Minimal 4.4.4 and then restart. Thanks and report if it help :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ainster:
Hmm ram management looks much better now i can multitask and clash of clans dosn't reload after sms send its just awesome les take a look in to battery usage :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
How does that differ from Gapps provided with stock?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] master_boy_dn:
yes, with newer Google framework than stock
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ainster:
After battery test i can say its much better now when i dont use phone it goes to deep sleep battery are better just need see what about ower nigt use .
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gkkovacs:
While I like the idea of flashing fresh new GApps over the stock rom, but I checked the versions of some Google apps on my devices:

Xperia T Android 4.3 (stock)

GMail (com.google.android.gm): version 4.9 (1271612)

Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms): version 5.0.89 (1307510-036)

Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf): version 4.3-757479

LG V500 Android 4.4.4 (CM11 latest nightly with PA GApps)

GMail (com.google.android.gm): version 4.9 (1271612)

Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms): version 5.0.89 (1307510-036)

Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf): version 4.4.4-1227136

GMail and GMS seem to be identical, however both devices have GSF versions clearly respective to their Android version, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to flash a 4.4.4 GSF on a 4.3 phone.

1. Can anyone who has the 4.4.4 GSF flashed on a 4.3 device confirm that it's running the new version?

2. If you see battery improvement, which app has consumed less battery?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
Well... it's not. I'm running stock 4.3 .205 build on my Xperia T and the GSF is 4.3-757479.

However, apart from most of the people here, I don't see any differences in comparison with all Google libs, apps and files left intact (provided with stock ROM). No "better battery life" or "better RAM management"... I think it's a placebo effect. Well.. at least for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Same here. It appears opinions are based on assumptions newer being better.

Google Play services from 5.x onward will not have better fuel consumption. Just watch the amount of wakelocks and location calls it produces. To me 4.x is the compromise at the moment, on KK and on 4.3.

The Google Play services stock version of 4.3 is actually 3.1.59, but it self-updates faster then I can say 1-2-3 when I access Play Store for the first time. Also, several 3. party apps have version checking and will refuse working at all with 3.1. Not that the functionality of these 3. party apps would be lost if they run with 3.1 or lower, but if version check does not find the latest version of Google Play services it will let the user not access the app.

BTW. There are a number of included original apps that self update soon, and then available RAM and internal space are getting a blow. Either phone makers need to address this by hardware solutions, or the devices should be fully functional and without crippled or old OEM versions which are just there to give users the impression that plenty resources are available.

How to use the zip-file

Maybe a stupid question - how do I use the zipped file ?? I have one uread sms that I would like to get rid of on my tytn.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
The file downloads as a zip file.

Extract it using winzip.

It will unzip to an EXE file. This is an exception to the usual rule that you run EXEs on the PC, in this case move it to your device SD Card using active Sync explorer button or by using a PC card reader. Once on the device tap it to run it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ranger47:
fixunreadcount.exe didn't work for me either so here is what I did:

1) Backup using Sprite. Uncheck messages so they aren't included in the backup.

2) Hard reset the device

3) Restore using Sprite

4) Re-setup your email accounts

How to hard reset (from the wiki):

Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**

* Press and hold both soft keys

* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone

* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash

* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys

* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen

* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel

1 unread sms on Rhodium (TP2)

Hello,

Anyway.

I'm an owner of a Rhodium with WM6.5 (1.88.404.3) version, I've installed it around 20th Nov. jl

I hope someone does have a solution for me,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
"I've tried everything" doesn't help us much.

Did you run http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=219102&d=1250917002

If not then try it.

If you have, run it again, possibly twice. Following each attempt do a soft reset BUT NOT by sticking the stylus in the hole. Soft re-set by LONG pressing the power button until you get the warning message.

(Just ramming the stylus in the hole can actually delete the changes that runnng the program has just made - so don't do it. The program makes some changes to the "registry". Unfortunately registry changes are not "written back" immediately - thus doing a stylus in the hole reset may be too quick and the changes lost forever. Doing a "long press" ensures all pending write backs are done before the reset is executed - which is what you want.)

Thanks for this guide !

A question :

I'm whith KTR rom 2.2 ( JB 4.1.2 ) and, as all users, i have the unlocked phone screen when i boot my razr I.

If i do the step H. of the guide in order to downgrade to ICS, can i change the unlocked screen whith another one, and after reflash KTR rom ( JB ) in order to don't have anymore this unlocked screen at boot ???
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
To flash a working logo image u need the bootloader (motoboot) from ICS. But if u flash the motoboot from ICS coming from a jellybean rom (is using the motoboot from jellybean) u will brick your device. (unless as stated, u have never bean on stock JB or installed the firmware from stock JB and u flashed from stock ICS to KTR-rom. So u have the stock ICS bootloader. But i think nobody in this world has that anymore.)

The bootloader and its necessary files may never be downgraded!! I will make a point in the guide to address your question.

So, to answer your question. No u can't!
