That's not what I said to do in my OP.

Before adding and removing things, you should sign into Play Store.

Immediately close the play Store.

Open it and accept the prompt.

Wait for initial force close from a notification, such as G+ or Gmail.

As Gmail will ask you to login.

Once that occurs, boot straight to recovery, fix perms, wipe cache and dalvik, fix perms, reboot.

That is all you should need to do.

If it happens again, reboot to recovery and repeat the fix, wipe, fix process.

I have done this with so many revisions before posting, I can't begin to tell you how many times, with great success.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ludeboy:
Look I'm not trying to piss you off or anyone off. I like this ROM and I just want it to work. So I'm just going to drop it. I apologize.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Can you explain "sign into play store"? Is this during the setup wizard that we enter our gmail account? Or do you mean after the wizard is done you just launch the Play Store?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] detr0yt:
I really appreciate your quick response I was just stating that was something I tried differently after I tried many many many times doing exactly what you said in your o p I'm just discouraged right now but keeping hi hopes il get it... everything that you said in op

did exactly what you said it would do but regardless at the end of it it's still one of the force close.I'll keep trying like I said I have wiped system data cache. And dalvik cache... I shall win this battle
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I do not sign in during setup.

I mean once you have finished setup wizard, launch Play Store and sign in there.

It will likely just spin the wheel, so just immediately go to home screen > open recent apps > swipe Play Store to close it.

Then open it again, you will get the agreement prompt, select Ok/Accept.

Then your Google notifications from G+ if you use it will come in and likely begin the force close process if it's gonna happen.

Then just boot to recovery and do as I already went over...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pheonix3330:
When I went through the process, I signed in to the Play Store as soon as the phone booted. I immediately received a notification to accept the play store terms and conditions, and I did. Then I closed the Play store (removed it from memory), and opened it again. At this point, I waited for a force close but nothing happened. I still rebooted phone and went into recovery to fix permissions, and restarted. Could this be where I messed up? Is getting that first initial force close crucial?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I would wait for the first force close myself.

Since in my testing I only did the process when necessary(ie: only when I got system UI crashes from notifications)

Otherwise there was no need to do that process.

I have had quite a few installs where that wasn't needed at all and it worked out of the gate, so I only did the recovery fix process when needed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] edgemaster191:
Audio Quality?

How is the audio quality on the new 4.4.4 firmware? Let me explain.

Whenever I use BoomSound instead of the HK Mod the audio quality will drop while using Google Play Music. The fix is to hit Pause then Play or skip to the next song. This is why I don't use GPE ROMs. The only way to make the audio quality stay consistent is to use the HK Mod on a Sense based ROM.

Of course i'm using a Verizon HTC One M8.

My current ROM is RKDN EYE 3.1 with the most current HK Mod installed and audio quality is fine. This is also true if i use CleanROM.

I have NOT tried BoomSound since the 4.4.4 ROMs started rolling out, I just immediately install the HK Mod. I know with the 4.4.4 GPE ROM's I have the issues with the audio quality and Google Play Music. Since I can't install the HK Mod on GPE Roms I end up just going back to a Sense based ROM.

Thanks for any info guys! I really want to try UnSense!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pheonix3330:
I tried the whole process a couple of times, explicitly waiting for a FC from a Gmail notification before rebooting to recovery and fixing permissions. Unfortunately, I havent had any luck :/ Oh well, I'll just have to live with my phone being on silent/vibrate so I can enjoy this awesome ROM you have. Thanks for all the work you put into this project for all of us to enjoy!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Boomsound on Sense 4.4.4 is quite a bit improved over previous versions.

I'm sure much of it is due to the updated Adsp.img from our 4.4.4 firmware.

I have no sound quality issues on my end, but everyone has different music ears. :)

I have also included V4A so users can tweak it to their liking as well.

In Play Music, my quality is good, I also enable the Higher quality setting the Music app offers for streaming, which helps too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You're welcome.

Just so we're clear, when you boot to recovery and fix perms, you are also wiping cache and dalvik after, as mentioned, correct?

Then fixing perms once more before you reboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pheonix3330:
Correct. After a fresh install (Factory Reset + wipe system partition), I booted up for the first time. I opened play store, signed in and immediately closed the app. I opened it again, accepted the agreement, and then signed in to Gmail at which point I would get a systemui FC. The first time I only fixed permissions and rebooted. The second time I fixed permissions, wiped cache/dalvik and fixed permissions once more. I just find it so strange that I feel like im following your OP precisely and still cant seem to get it functioning properly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I find that pretty strange myself.

Only other thing I can think to suggest is to try the same version of Twrp I am using.

Which is the Official 2.8.0.0.

Doubt that would make a difference, but there is definitely a small chance that it could.

Since the fix for the symptoms is performed in Recovery.

Up to you if you wanna try that or not though, as it sounds like you've exhausted most everything else.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pheonix3330:
Im willing to try it. My twrp shows version 2.8.0.1. I do remember installing this version from a thread here on xda however, and not from the official twrp website. Ill download the official version and report back when its done.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yeah, I highly suggest an official version.

There were some funky 3rd party compiled versions that I saw had several issues.

I'd definitely stay with the Official releases at this time.

Let me know how it goes... :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
OK I've been following this thread because I like the look of this ROM and Santods work is always top notch.

That being said, I too am having the fc issue unless volume is on silent or vibrate. I've gone so far as to fast boot ruu to get a clean fresh start.

At this point we've got one group of people with something in common besides just following instructions and another group like myself who is certainly no newb trying to disect the issue. The main question for those of us getting the fc is what is the tie in between having the volume up and getting fc on notifications and volume down and no fc on notifications. I'm going to try to figure it out if it kills me lol. There's too many of us with the problem to chalk it up to "bad luck" or just not following instructions. Thanks again Santos. I can tell by some of your responses that you are frustrated also so I can relate being an IT guy myself. Will get back if/when I sort it out. Thanks, Tom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] edgemaster191:
Hey thanks for the reply! I"ll give it a shot. You wouldn't happen to have a link for the updated ADSP image would you? :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You will get it when you flash the updated m8vzw 4.4.4 firmware.

It's included in that firmware zip which is required for running 4.4.4 based Sense roms anyhow.

Link to firmware is in my rom thread OP, under requirements.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] edgemaster191:
Awesome! Thank you friend!

Should I reflash the firmware since i've installed the HK mod? Doesn't that overwrite the ADSP firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
It does, so you may want to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] edgemaster191:
Ok awesome! Thanks for the help and info.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcanderson232:
Although my account is new I have done my share of flashing and not really a noob when it comes to it. I have done around 15 attempts most were done twrp 2.8.1.0 and the last few were done with 2.8.0.0 as I thought there was an outside chance that was a problem but no dice. Back to cleanrom for the time being. Good luck.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
For what it's worth, I just flashed my port of this onto my m7vzw.

I had the system UI force closes with notifications.

I booted to recovery and fixed perms, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, issue persisted.

I booted back to recovery again and just ran the fix permissions this time, rebooted.

No more force closes.

YMMV (obviously)

Just retried everything with the official TWRP recovery, same issues persist. For what its worth, I got logcats for what happens when the systemui crashes. Not sure if you would be interested in seeing them, but I can post them here if it would somehow help.

FC on notification only

FC on notification only , every notifications i get i get fc and it takes me to lock screen, if i am on silence or vibration no FC, i tried already fix permission, still nothing, the rom unsense snadtod
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zax10:
Santod knows of the issue. He has given what works. It fixes it for some and then others are still out of luck (myself included). Some have had luck by flashing a full sense 4.4.4 Rom then installing unsense, other have changed recoveries, others have enabled ART. I have tried all methods and have had to move to a different Rom. I appreciate Santod for the Rom and hope that someone figures out the root issue soon so we all can enjoy his great piece of work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zax10:
Really wish I could get this to work. Santod I will get you a case of beer if you can figure out why some can't and some can lol.

FC on notification only

Thank you zax10, it is an awesome rom, he really does an outstanding job
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zax10:
If my thinking is correct here I believe the issue is that he has included all the great Android L features and it is having problems meshing well together with Android 4.4.4. That is the only thing I can think of.

If you have done everything to the T like santod said, try what i just did.. And deleted both mesaage apps.... Hangouts, and messages... Then install Textra sms and tell me how it goes.. That's what i did and it fixed the problem.. Im getting no FC on any notifications.. Also to stop fc on emails... For now.. Just disable notifications... And check your emails on your own.. Its not perfect... But close! This rom is to sweet not to run

Very off topic and the only small issue I've noticed so far, is anyone using Google play music and having trouble streaming music with this ROM? It's better than CM11 which constantly muted itself but I can not steadily stream music via Wi-Fi
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bmerrill63:
While checking battery stats, I noticed this error. no big deal but wanted to let ya know. It does it for all user apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
That's odd, wonder if it's your specific wireless setup.

As I stream music from the Play Store daily...and often.

Haven't had any issues.

May wanna uncheck the Wi-Fi optimization setting then, under advanced wifi settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bmerrill63:
I thought about that too, haven't tried yet but I will and report back. Damn that was a fast response bro.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Weird, hah. Won't effect anything.

But I'll check it out when I get a chance.

Just a string mismatch somewhere.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bmerrill63:
Oh yea, I'm not worried about a goofy box image, just thought I'd let ya know.

Disabling Wi-Fi optimization seemed to help streaming GPM all access. Thanks!

I get a signing in loop when I go into gmail and hit the compose email button. Has this happened to anyone else so far? I have seen one other post in the original thread I quoted it there as well. Thanks

Edit: I fixed this by fixing permissions and after reboot, I hit compose message and it asks one more time to sign in and actually does sign in now. Works normal after that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
Has anyone else tried the newer versions of the Harman Kardon sound mod with this ROM? It should work since this is based off of sense (correct?), however when I flash it, HK is on and working, I can tell by the logos in the status bar and the sound itself, but there's no "Harman/Kardon" sound setting in the settings like there usually is that or "boomsound". I need to turn off the second option in the HK menu and I can't because the menu sub cat is missing from the main settings ... Anyone know what I'm talking about?

All I need to do is disable that setting. The first one (clairify) is fine.

Edit: sorry, forgot to mention the ROM is fantastic! Smooth and stable, just what I need! I'm just trying to get my choones sounding the way I like them ;)

same with me ... but is it killing your phone or watch battery? my Moto 360 battery is fine. Not sure about the phone as it is charging as of now.

How do I enable battery saver mode?

Something was eating my phone battery, must be android wear constant sync loop. Other than that, this ROM is stellar!!! Thanks San!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I googled the android wear sync loop, since I don't own any.

Seems very common to read that in notifications.

Pretty sure the system UI used in each ROM will determine what the notification reads, yet it means the same thing as those that simply read connected.

Pretty sure that since GPE was last updated quite some months ago, that Android Wear notifications were at an early stage at that time, which would be why that notification may read differently on newer built system UIs, or custom compiled Roms like CM.

But simply googling it will turn up many reports of the same thing.

Pretty sure any device that's constantly syncing with another would drain faster then one that isn't.

Only makes sense really. :)

This has come up multiple times, it's always due to improperly flashed firmware.

Reflash firmware, then reflash rom if needed. (should work just by reflashing firmware though)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] logsdza:
I tried searching and couldn't find anyone talking about it but noticed there were a few screenshots of the same scenario when addressing other matters.

Okay, just wiped my phone, installed ROM,wiped Dalvik and cache, booted and got the phone has quit working prompt right off the bat. Went back into recovery, wiped dalvik and cache again,fixed perms, wiped dalvik and cache just to make sure, rebooted and still get phone and messages force closing without even being able to choose a language.

I am coming from Sinless GPe ROM, have 3.28 firmware from tigerstown thread, using official TWRP 2.8.1.0

Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Should just wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik, flash rom, boot, profit.

No wiping after but a Full wipe prior is all that's needed.

Just wiping cache and dalvik before flashing is not sufficient.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lotddragon:
I did the system wipe prior, probably should have been more specific, my mistake there.

Full process done was: wipe system and data without wiping internal card, wipe dalvik and cache, flash ROM, wipe dalvik and cache again and boot. Get phone and messages force closing, wipe dalvik and cache, fix perms, wipe and fix again, wipe a final time, android optimizes and still gets force closes. I just got done trying it after reflashing firmware and twrp official 2.8.1.0

I have a Canadian N4(910W8)and I want to change the baseband so I can try different Roms. How do I go about this? I'm guessing through Odin right? Where can I find a stock NJ7 ROM to do this? Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: baseband.

Firstly, if you change baseband your phone will not work with Canadian or

USA roms.

None of the twrp flashable zip file roms contains the baseband or bootloaders.

You need to keep the Canadian baseband which you already have.

What you will need to do is to save your kernel file so you can use it with the

USA zip file roms.

The kernel is located in the /System/ folder and the filename is "boot.img".

Copy that file to your internal sdcard before you do anything else.

Then after you download a usa zip file rom open it up with winrar/winzip

or other archiver and remove the boot.img in the zip file and replace it with

the boot.img you have saved in your internal sdcard before flashing.

Once you do that you can safely flash the usa zip file rom of your choice.

I never advise anyone to use a different carriers rom, there are many con's

against doing so and not many pro's. But go ahead and give it a try.

Good luck!
