Big Thanks

Just wanted to get on and thank you for an amazing ROM. I'm using the one from about a week ago and it is absolutely awesome. I had to switch to 5.0 firmware but after that my battery life has gone from 25 hours to 35 hours. I can charge every other night if I want and haven't used it too much the first day. I did notice the wifi handoff wasn't always smooth but I see that is updated now. I'm loving it so much I'm not sure I want to flash anything for fear of changing how well everything else is working.

Due to not having Xposed my one request would be to disable the power off menu when locked with a password from the lock screen. I'm glad you added the new power menus (not that i've updated to try them yet) but I like having Theftie on my phone and not giving anyone a way to turn off or disable connectivity from the lock screen. I've considered gluing the sim card in as well, but disabling shut down means that someone can't just turn it off or pull the battery as soon as it's stolen (like was done on my S4). I know they can power/volume up and restart it but if they can't use ADB and can't get past encryption then as long as they aren't a highly experienced hacker they really can't do much and I can probably track down my phone.

Screen shot, screen record and call to report lost phone would also be nice additions to the power button menu (and of course no power off) would be a perfect setup. That's how I had it in 4.4.4 with Xposed. If that's not possible I understand and thanks for a very nice ROM.

Is there a link for the Kitkat version of the rom?

Does anyone know if I can download this rom in its kitkat form? Can anyone share the link for it?! Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
Just search the vzw m8 development forum. There is more than one KK GPE available, if I'm not mistaken. Santod also makes a damn good one called UnSense.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EliFinn:
Thanks!

Couldn't find any, I just wanted the DigitalHigh edition LoL
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
Oh ok. I don't know if there is one. If you decide you're open to other possibilities though, I promise Santod's UnSenseSix is pure badass-ed-ness.

It's sort of a Kit Kat/Lollipop hybrid - Kit Kat GPE with a strong likeness to Lollipop.

Sent from... Wait. It's none of your damn business where this post was sent from, nosy bastards.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EliFinn:
Yeap!

I found UnSense but only the Sense version... Do you have a link for the stock based one? Thanks!

I tried this rom and it's good but I'll wait for a official build. That 0 folder messed my whole night up at work trying to figure out what went wrong. DH good job at any rate. You and countless others are making me to try my hand at building and porting roms.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Not sure what you mean "Official" build. Do you mean the OTA of 5.0 that HTC should be rolling out early next year? That's the only "Official" 5.0 you will see and it won't be GPE.

This is the Development forum. If you need a rock solid, always perfect ROM,. stick with stock. Those of us that want to be on the cutting edge don't mind the little bugs as they will all get fixed if people start posting real data of their issues and not "My WiFi does not work". Honestly, how do folks expect DH to fix things when they say "That 0 folder messed my whole night up" or "My Wifi is broke". with no other data?

No offense meant man. Just saying...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sky93:
Can someone explain to me when I should use update vs dirty flash when I'm coming from a previous version?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] munchy_cool:
no thumb rule as such. If the developer of the roms asks you to do so, then you should do it for a sure.

Else, if a dirty flash gives you issues which you were not having before then go for a clean flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] seblee6666:
This might have been said but a quick observation. Running the latest 11/29/14 rom update.. On my Sprint variant I've noticed that holding the power button for a second or two reboots the phone, but it just gets stuck in the animation sequence. Just an FYI!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jonathanbailie:
Im on an HTC M8 for Verizon and the 11/29 build works great. Fixed an issue that I had with the 11/28 build; Chrome was lagging then freezing the phone completely, and was only remedied by POWER+VOLUP resetting. I did install the Chrome/FB lag fix with this build, so I'm not sure if that was the fix or if the new build was the fix; good job nonetheless.

Also, it fixed the carrier name (T-CDMA 64) issue. It now displays Verizon Wireless correctly. That was hardly a deal breaker, but it is fixed regardless.

Thanks again for a great ROM. This build seems just as smooth and stable as my Nexus 5, so it looks like I will be running this one as my daily for a while, or at least until the official GPE version is released, preferably as a flashable zip in this thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:

during setup my phone is stuck on the checking connection screen. This hasn't happened before, maybe google servers down? Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] inter11:
To go back to the post I made earlier, I seem to be having issues getting any of the 5.0 ROMs to boot past the HTC splash screen. The 11/28 ROM booted once then locked up after an hour or so then wouldn't boot again. I then tried 11/26 and that wouldn't boot at all. I just tried Vanillipop too, wondering if it was something with these ROMs that were giving me issues, but that gets stuck at the HTC screen as well.

As far as I can tell, I'm on the 5.0 firmware posted in the first post. Should I try reflashing that and then try installing the ROM again? Not sure what else to do at this point.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You have to update to stock Sense 4.4.4 firmware FIRST. Then, if you have issues, you should update to the 5.0 firmware.

The lack of boot animation issue is a telltale sign that you haven't updated to the latest Sense 4.4.4 firmware for your variant.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] inter11:
I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Will I have any issues going back to the 4.4.4 firmware if I'm already on 5.0?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No. The 5.0 firmware from the thread isn't full firmware.

Bluetooth

Is anyone else having trouble with Bluetooth audio? When paired to my JVC head unit I'm experiencing frequent audio skipping with Pandora and Google Play Music. I clean flashed the 11/30 build and I am running the 5.0 firmware.

Have you found a fix for the GPS, everything is working great for me except the GPS and I just came from CleanROM and it worked fine? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvtiv:
I haven't found a "fix" per se, but my GPS is working now... I completely killed my phone back to stock rooted and didn't sign in to anything or download any apps except for GPS Test https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en - verified a working GPS by going outside my office building and walking around the block a couple of times, then took it for a drive using google maps/navigation. Then when that was verified, I did another clean wipe and installed the 11.26 build again. I did not restore any apps/backups and did not sign in to anything except Google in order to download GPS Test again. Unfortunately, I wasn't getting a GPS lock again. After reading someone else's post about GPE & AOSP ROMs needing an immediate reboot, I turned it off. Then, IT FREAKING TURNED ITSELF BACK ON, showed the "android is upgrading" screen for like a second and I opened the GPS Test app and it was working all of a sudden. I've since restarted my phone 2 or 3 times and have restored all of my apps and it's still firing like a champ. YMMV, but I didn't really DO anything to fix it. It just sorta started working again.

I just got it to work.

seemed like the case wasn't being detected, took the case off and rebooted the phone and it still wasn't working. Powered the phone all the down with the case off. Turned it back on. Once it was fully booted up I put the case on and its working as it should.

I clean flashed the 12/03 build and apps didn't have write access to the SD Card. I had to use the SDFix app to restore write access. I hadn't experienced this with any of DH's other builds. Anyone else experience this with the 12/03 build?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Easn:
Please help, Posted before and got no reply.

I am really hoping if someone can shed any light on this situation, I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to get a good fix for it. I have the custom firmware installed on top of the lates verizon firmware, and I've done everything right. In the picture, you will see that the media server has audio constantly playing and it is draining the battery terribly. Downloading a media server killer app has prevented me from using google now as it seems to stop working when the media server process has been force stopped. Please, any idea on what to do next would be very helpful. It's not a problem where the phone is searching for media files as I have tried troubleshooting all those steps and nothing has worked.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Why not just flash with custom recovery?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jfeulner:
Because this is Firmware you need to use FlashbootRUU. I highly recommend running his Firmware, and you can go back to stock 4.4.4 In the Tigerstown thread if needed. You cannot flash using ADB or the SD Method. If you flash with Custom Recovery it fails.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet. But I'm having issues with photos. It won't launch. I installed the 11.16 build clean on top of the 4.4.4 firmware and I tried to clean the cache and dalvic but no dice.

*Edit- Downloaded a gallery app from the app store, works fine.

Lagfix

Where does one install the lagfix, through fastboot commands, or recovery? Running the 11/16 Build of GPE ROM. This think if freaking amazing!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
I think in recovery, that's what I did

There can be only (HTC) One
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] maxpower7:
I was able to flash using the SD method with no issues. I'm not sure why people keep saying that you have to use fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] baldpenguin2:
Same here, I've flashed this and other firmwares with the sd method with no problem... That I know of ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
The order of operations

Make sure that your device is running the 11/16 build. First grab it from the OP and clean wipe/flash it in the recovery.

After this is accomplished I would grab the lag fix zip. Then flash that on top of the 11/16 build. This works on TWRP.

When both of these are accomplished make sure you download DH's custom firmware. (I would personally use the fastboot method.) Do not use TWRP unless you do some other method.

In order to flash firmware from fastboot type this is in recovery:

adb reboot bootloader ->this will allow the device to go into fastboot mode

fastboot oem rebootRUU -> this will allow your device to go into the RUU mode for downloading the firmware.

fastboot flash zip _____ -> this is where you will flash the actual zip (drag the file from adb directory into cmd

fastboot reboot-bootloader -> now you are in bootloader.

Now you can reboot and profit.

These files are located in the main page of the ROM.

Hope this helped some people out there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jfeulner:
Not sure if that's changed, but I'm paranoid about using the SD method because those cards can fail at any time. :eek: I prefer and recommend the Fastbooth method just because of reliability and personal preference, but hey if the SD method workd, it works :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] piisceiss:
I flashed the firmware with adb and everything else with twrp. Ive been expieriencing some lag while othera are claiming buttwry smoothness. Does flashing with twrp vs philz wffect rom preformance? Anyone else have thia issue?

Going from ViperoneM8 3.1 to GPE 5.0

Ok. I answered my own question after a bit of trial and error. First, the firmware I had appeared to not play nicely with the GPE ROM so I restored a nand of Viper and downloaded this firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655049353 - this was referenced on pg 3 of the Q&A. Rename to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it on your EXTERNAL SD card. Boot into the bootloader and let HBoot scan the card for the firmware. Select install and let it do its thing. Then, download the GPE ROM and flash doing a full wipe. I used TWRP version 2.8.1.0 and it worked flawlessly. I have wi-fi, gps lock, 5.0 goodness, no battery drain, and it's FAST! After roughly 12 hours of use I report NO issues. GREAT JOB DEV! I'll be buying you a pint on Friday!

to recap:

Step 1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FUNCTIONING SETUP! <- SO IMPORTANT!

Step 2. Download ALL the files you are going to need and put them on your SD card

Step 3. Rename the firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip and place on your EXT SD card

Step 4. Boot into Bootloader and let HBoot scan the card for the firmware

Step 5. Install Firmware

Step 6. Boot into Recovery and wipe System/Data/Cache then install the ROM

Step 7. Reboot

Step 8. Profit!

(It should be noted that I didn't change any of the options in the aroma installer, just accept and next to install as-is. This may or may not have an effect on the install.)

Lots of lag

I did everything corrwctly that DH said to install but i still get a good anount of lag. Is this just the rom or did something go qrong? The only thing i did differently is us twrp to flash lagfix and rom instead of philz

I'm still running 11/16 build here as I've flashed the lagfix and updated GooglePlay Services myself. Benefits to being subscribed to Android Police on Pushbulllet!

Flashing Custom Firmware using Fastboot - Mac

I am running DigitalHigh's 4.4.4 GPE Rom for the Verizon HTC One M8 and I am trying to upgrade to 5.0. The install requires flashing custom firmware (the .img file has been provided), but I am unsure of the fastboot terminal command to do this on a Mac.

Just wanted to give a huge thanks! I've been running every release since 11/14 and this one is running flawlessly.

2) Did the SIP dialer go away? I was hoping to experiment some with that.

Firmware questions

A couple of questions here, first:

The post references both 4.4.4 and 5.0 firmware, but there is only a link to one download, and it's not labelled as either version. Is the "0P6BIMG.zip" file the 5.0 firmware, or 4.4.4 firmware? In the FAQ post, one of the answers is: "Have you installed the custom 4.4.4 firmware linked in the OP? You need it."

Since this is the only firmware linked in the OP, I assume that the "0P6BIMG.zip" download is the 4.4.4 firmware. But then right before the link, it's talking about "here's the standalone version of the new firmware".

My second question is then... without an SD card, what's the process of flashing the new firmware, if indeed the "0P6BIMG.zip" file is the 5.0 firmware? Just installing it from twrp doesn't work, with a red "Failed" message showing up about 2 seconds after starting the install, and "fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip" doesn't work, with "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" which I assume is expected, and that is not the proper way to flash firmware.

EDIT: Added actual error messaged.

I have downloaded and flashed the newest version of this rom and get consistently stuck at the green HTC logo screen. In AROMA I opted for it to pull the firmware to my device's SD card which it did and the installation went fine. It then reboots me into the bootloader where I go to hboot and it updates the firmware with what it pulled form the rom. Am I missing something? I selected sprint from the carrier option as well because I am of on sprint.

Were you on the 4.4.4 firmware before flashing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whaevr:
The post has sections that are out of date, thats why you're seeing "Custom 4.4.4 Firmware" in some places. "0P6BIMG.zip" is the 5.0 firmware file you want. In order to install the updated firmware you need to put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into your phones bootloader.

adb reboot bootloader

Should do the trick. After that select HBoot and IF the zip is correctly placed on your sd card; Hboot will find it and flash it for you. Thats how I flashed mine
