No, it would break stuff, camera being number one.

This is using 4.4.3 kernel sources.

What are you looking to gain? Just curious. :)

There are already more features available in this kernel then what I have enabled for now.

I prefer stability above all else.

Kool nice
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TotallyAnxious:
Will flashing the HK audio mod conflict with anything on this rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Yes it worked thanks, I do however have a real problem. When MMS are received they come in really low quality, they look like they've been compressed too much. Here is a screenshot of how low the image size is received.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Pretty sure it wouldn't be ideal, as it contains a 4.4.2 Settings.apk from the Vzw base, as far as I could tell.

I mentioned a page back, that I will post an updated one specifically for this rom, maybe tonight or tomorrow.

Using the settings from this base would be best, even if that one works to some degree.

As there's a bit of a difference between settings.apk in the Vzw base and this Developers 4.4.3 base.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TotallyAnxious:
Alright :) And I saw you asked someone else about what they would have wanted added to the kernel. Faux (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712044) hasn't updated the VZW kernel so it would be cool if you could add some his features when you get a chance.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TweakedSystems:
will this work on the DNA

Will this ROM work with the DNA?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Working fine over here. n I took update in playstore too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Doesn't really help unfortunately.

As I can scroll through all my camera shots without any issue.

So there has to be something specific about what you guys have on yours that I don't.

I really don't have any other solutions or suggestions at this point, except to run another rom if it's a persistent issue for you.

Not the fix I usually suggest for issues that come up, but I truly don't have any other answers, as I am not able to reproduce the problem at all and have not seen any current logs from anyone that does.

It's incredibly difficult to fix an issue I can't reproduce or see myself, so to me, that means something is up with your sd cards current format.

It should be Fat32 for optimal compatibility. As sd cards are different for every user, it's not something controlled like the device internals, making it that much harder for me to figure why yours has issues and mine doesn't.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I'm kool with it. Like I said it doesn't happen all the times. I was just fooling around in the gallery trying to make it crash and it didn't. I took a pic no force closes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
What app do you recommend to capture a log? I'll grab one and post it if it'll help.

I've tried all the solutions listed and so far it seems to be isolated to camera shots taken with the 4.4.2 firmware/stock rom for me. Wallpapers, downloads and pix taken with this firmware all seem to scroll w/o FC's. And that's whether the pix are on the sd card or internal storage.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BotFly:
Alogcat in the play store.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yeah, I felt it was stuff taken with 4.4.2 firmware as well.

At this point, I'd say it's something HTC will have to address, as I don't have any control over their firmware or Gallery app.

As for capturing a log, you can use alogcat from the Play Store, or the standard way:

Attach to PC, and from terminal run: logcat > somefilename.txt(call it whatever you want)

Then upload the outputted text file.

But I honestly don't think there's much more I can do about it, as I think it's on HTC at this point.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
So i removed all the pictures that were taken with the phone off the phone, tooks some random pics to see if still getting fc and it does.

switched the camera storage from sd to internal and no more fc's.

so idk why its crashing when saving pics to the sd, I just reformatted this card on the phone when the new firmware became available.

But i guess that can be the work around for now, just switch the storage to internal from external, at least thats what worked for me.

Update: So i just went into my sd card and deleted the DCIM folder, took a picture with camera storage set to external sd and no more FC

hopefully that resolves it for everyone as well
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Could be due to the way the phone is formatting the card.

I save to sd card and internal, have some on both and still no issues.

But I format mine wth a card reader on a pc.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ionace7:
Fixed my problem by reflashing the firmware. I forgot to mention that I had flashed the no red text hboot before. I think that's what was causing the problem
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
Did you take the OTA? Are you using the Hboot with no red text? I cannot get around the issue. I have tried everything. BTW- I am not using an SD card so don't bother chasing the formatting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yes I took the OTA to make my own system dump and yes I am using the No Red Text Hboot that I posted in my m8 hboot thread.

The modified hboot should have zero effect on anything other then not seeing the red text on boot up.

But making sure that the 4.4.3 firmware was flashed properly is important.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
I wonder if there is something different about taking the OTA vs. flashing the firmware. I don't think the firmware.zip posted had an hboot in it correct?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
The firmware does have the hboot.

The only thing removed from the firmware is stock kernel(boot.img) and stock recovery.

I think your issue is probably some images you have saved on your internal from previous roms, no?

Did you wipe internal before flashing the rom or is there still old images on it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
I clean flashed your rom, but did not wipe my internal drive prior to doing it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Which is why I think you are still having issues.

There were a lot of changes to gallery for 4.4.3 and I think existing images stored on the device, from previous firmware versions are not fully compatible.

They changed encoding/decoding methods and added new features.

So having old stuff present, is likely causing the issues.

I would assume that wiping everything and starting clean would yield no issues...

Again, this is on HTC, not something I can control.

You can always go and flash Scroslers stock bloated deodexed rom and see if you get the same results.

We both might need less ibuprofen that way. :)

(or you can wipe the device and see...)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
I am certainly not blaming you. I will keep playing around to see if I can fix it. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
would wiping internally mess up root with weaksauce? I have a folder in the internal storage that says weaksauce and thought if anything happen to that, i would lose root. Im rooted and S-off idk if makes diff. just making sure
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Weaksauce was only used so you could gain temp-root, so that you could gain s-off and unlock.

Once you are s-off and unlocked, you can wipe the entire device.

All you need for root after that, is a rooted rom, or even a stock rom and then flash super su...

Exchange Hack

Giving this rom a spin. Is there an exchange hack that will let me connect to exchange server without file system encryption? Preferably one that works with default HTC mail client.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I do have one made for it, but haven't included my aroma options yet.

Wanted a stable base without the complications and confusion that aroma installs can cause for the first few revisions :)

For now this should do what you need I believe, as I don't personally use Exchange:

Xtended Settings > Misc Settings > MS Exchange ActiveSync - select to disable exchange EAS policy admin rights

If that's not what you need, let me know and I will send you a PM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BBEgo:
Guys, looks like I fixed my gallery problems.

The phone just doesn't like the 100MEDIA picture folder.

Using ES File Explorer, I transferred all my pics out of that folder into a new one called 'pics'. I then deleted 100MEDIA. After that I took a picture, and the Camera app created a new 100MEDIA folder to replace the one I deleted. Then I transferred everything back. No more Gallery FC.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I flashed the firmware no ota for me an I'm having zero gallery issues. I saved to SD card an internal no issues. Also I formatted my 64 gig ultra card in march via PC..I know this don't help anyone just throwing out what I have experienced. Hope you get your issue worked out some way.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
I think what u have suggested have fixed my problem. Haven't happen yet since doing it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
Awesome. I did something similar and it seems to be working. I renamed the 100Media folder and moved it to the Pictures folder. I tried renaming it and leaving it in the DCIM folder, but still got force closes. I think this is because the Gallery app groups anything in the DCIM folder under "Camera Shots".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brife:
That didn't work. Preventing exchange from being a device admin prevented me from successfully setting up the account. I just got an error message indicating that "the account setup failed and to try again later".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Alright, I'll send you a pm a bit later today then.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] grimlocksmash:
Gallery fc was because of a video taken. I deleted it and bam no more fc. Works like a charm now.

two questions

Hi Santo,

I just installed 2.0 and am having difficulty with the following:

1) configuring google now to work with a swipe up

2) voice dialing via Bluetooth gives me a message every time saying "I didn't catch that"

I hope you or someone can help with these two items.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Hey bro. I'm running a twrp rt now that has the blank os fix...bout time someone steps up an delivers. Lol :) I'm currently testing all recovery features now. I know its OT but I figured you might want to know.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Thanks but I have that one from Captain Throwback already.

Appreciate the thought though. :good:

I can confirm it all works as intended, from what I've used of it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
That's the one I got too. I just edit the text file to show correct OS. Here I thought I beat you to something. I should have know better lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Haha yeah, no worries, appreciate the thought regardless.

I just took the recovery.img out of the zip, and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, that way it works no matter what OS/firmware I or anyone else is running.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I asked him if I could do that he said there was directions on his site. So I just went that way. I was confused i never seen a recovery as a zip. On another note my wife phone have no gallery issue either on your ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
so did you wipe internally to? when clean flashing the rom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I have had a 64g SD card class 10 ultra sandisk haven't touched that or haven't wiped anything. Every ROM flash I do advance wipe system,data,cache an then 3 factory resets(crazy i know but I read this somewhere waybway back in the day when I knew nothing an done it ever since) but if you mean internal storage no I have never wipe internal storage on any device lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
ya crazy thats the same way i've been doing it to, but im getting the fc on the gallery oh well

thanks

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
Can someone tell me why this is what I see? I know it's from the dark sense theme. Just wish I could read more as stated above.

Dark theme in Xposed.

Screenshot:

http://imgur.com/7uOJSt5
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
you need turn off the dark six module in xposed, thats the theme doing that
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yes it's from the theme.

The tricky part is that some text color values are shared for multiple resources.

In order to make that same text color value work for both dark and light color backgrounds, it has to be grey.

As white on white doesn't work well and neither does black on black.

Only way to not experience that for now, is to not use the module.

Hopefully a better solution will arise for that, but it doesn't effect all apps and text boxes that way.

I guess it just depends on how much of the apps you use are effected that way, as to whether you can deal with it or not.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
So an update on the Gallery FC issue. I deleted everything from the 100Media folder and then checked the size of the folder and it was 0bytes. I then checked the DCIM details and it says 612.9MB. That is odd for having nothing in there. I then looked for hidden folder and found the .thumbnails folder. it was showing over 600MB of file usage. I deleted all of the thumbnails out of it and it still showed the folder using 612.1MB. I found 2 more files in there called thumbdata*. something and deleted those. I now showed 0MB in the DCIM folder.

I guess what I am trying to get at is to see if someone having the Gallery FC issue could try deleting the .thumbnail folder from the DCIM folder and see if the FC stop. I can't do it cause of the way I went about it, but I am no longer having the FC issue even with the new Gallery update from the Play Store.

Remember that the .thumbnail folder is hidden so you will need to show hidden files in your file explorer or you might be able to see it if you hook it up to a PC. If this works, you won't have to delete your old pictures.

Also, I have taken pictures and videos and whatnot and have opened the gallery and rebooted and everything and I no longer have a .thumbnail folder in the DCIM folder. I looks like they may have changed the way they are doing the thumbnails but this is all just a late night guess.

Edit: Just found out that the .thumbnails folder is for the Photos application from Google. It creates it on the Internal DCIM folder. The reason I had it on my external is cause I copied everything over. Probably not the cause, but at least deleting the DCIM folder from the sdCard and letting it recreate seams to have fixed my issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
New gallery update from the play store today...and more fc's.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Glad to here people with this issue won't have them anymore. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
That sucks. I haven't had 1 f/c on either m8 evene before update. I guess it was wishful thinking for you guys.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BBEgo:
That thumbnails trick seems to have helped. Will report more results after some testing. Oh and I also updated Gallery.

Oftentimes, if I go to from an open conversation in Hangouts to the home screen, the keyboard stays up.

Anyone else's phone getting a little warm?

Mine was with data off and on WiFi while browsing Facebook.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BBEgo:
Yup I noticed that too.

Gallery FC is fixed (for now) by running the triplets: clear cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions. I've read that 'fix permissions' no longer does anything, but I still do it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I haven't noticed any abnormal heat at all.

As far as the keyboard thing, seems to be a Hangouts or HTC Keyboard bug that Google and/or HTC need to address.

It's been reported in multiple 4.4.3 threads now, including the stock rooted thread here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
This is a know issue with hangouts an it only seems to be on the m8. Which is crazy. Even stock users r having this issue. There r many post of this. Rananhide has reported this to google this has nothing to do with this ROM...if you hit the back button instead of home it will not happen. That's not a fix just a work around.

Its not a sense thing as I don't even use the sense keyboard I use the android L one that google took down from playstore an I still get this.

Edit santod post wasn't posted when I started replying I hit post button an its there saying the same thing. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
Weird. I noticed it when I flashed the Rom too. It's not killing it. Trickster is reporting 47c for the CPU temp.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
No heat issues for me. Been on my phone all day long non stop . Nothing different then nor mal over here.

Okay something is def up. This is one of the apps I had trouble restoring via titanium. Same issue in play store
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Is it a paid app? Can't really tell what it is.

Nevermind, looks like Blur Free?

Downloaded but will not install, don't know why that is.

Maybe it wants permissions to use the sd card that 4.4.3 is not allowing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Apologies for not naming the app, yeah its Blur Free. Having the same problem installing the Threes! and True Skate games as well via Play Store. Stock kernel, using XSense, and Sense 6 Toolbox in Xposed.

With the latter two I guess its HTC's way of keeping me productive lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I'll look into it if I can, may be android version and app specific, not sure.

But here is a work around, may not be ideal, but does work.
