Ok, time for my obligatory news post!

First up, we will be adding another section to the OP with clean cm12 nightlies done by one of our great users. Just waiting on links from him and I will update the post.

Second, a BlissPop Alpha Preview build is in the oven again (should have the bugs worked out now) and as soon as I have a flashable package I will upload and post a link.

Third, with the holidays coming up the team will be very busy with family and work. Please keep this in mind when wondering about updates or fixes to the rom.

Lastly, thanks to everyone involved in this thread, from the devs to the users, you guys have done a good job keeping it on track and civilized in here and I really appreciate that.

:cool:

Beta for CM12 is up. Everything seems stable on it. Wifi hotspot is only thing that I've found that isn't working.

Running the 11/28 build on my AT&T M8 no issues...Data stays after reboot...this thing literally flys!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
It was a CDMA problem :P not GSM. I'm going to give the newest build a try and HOPEFULLY it works!

Edit: Yeah, no data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
What carrier?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] _moelle:
isnt available for me aswell :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Sprint.

CPTB managed to create a build that kept data after reboot for Sprint users by updating blobs.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Sprint is the problem Captain throwback dug in and made a couple builds that flash to sprint phones correctly. He had updated the vendor blobs for Sprint and something with the updater script and everything works flawlessly on his 11/28 build at least for me on Sprint I keep LTE on every single reboot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
I'll give it a go :) thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Sweet looks like CPTB submitted the commit but looks like status is still open.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Okay so I rebooted once on Blisspop and lost data. I rebooted once more and my data came back. I tried rebooting a few more times and I still have data! :D

Okay nvm, I keep data if I reboot during setup. Once setup completes and I reboot, I lose data. Hopefully CPTB's commit gets merged!

Edit 2: NVM!! I get data back on 2nd reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Sweeetttt maybe its all fixed up now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
You may lose data the first reboot but try doing a 2nd reboot and it'll come back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
So on the lock screen it doest say no Sim - Sprint

Is this with clean or a dirty install from pervious cm12
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Actually, yes it does.

That could probably be fixed by editing framework-res.apk, no?

I may have found a solution for the issue with the persistent location icon. I noticed that the icon came on when i first opened the camera app and it prompted me to tag photos with location info. I cleared cache and data on the app and this time did not allow it to tag location rebooted and now the icon is gone.

It did. I just did that. I'm waiting to see if it stays again after using an app that uses location.

Edit

Now it won't show the icon at all. Either way it's a tiny issue as far as I'm concerned. This ROM is rock solid.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Oh man I jumped the gun too early. On Verizon when you reboot you lose data. This happened on the very early unofficial builds of cm12. Something on the latest unofficial builds has fix this issue but I'm not sure exactly what commit did it. But unfortunately you lose data. Can you check into this for us Verizon users please? Man I'm so disappointed I had it all set up and really digging it!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Try rebooting again. I heard that fixes it for some.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] randoug:
Please do continue. Everyone will have baked in fixes in their builds until CM12 is official with proper commits :eek:.. so its better to have varying builds for the time being.

I only successfully flashed this coming from Bliss, so that's what I based the installation instructions on.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
Ok, then .. Thanks

I will try that when I have time. I have flashed the modded Lollipop firmware but I have not flashed the GPE ROM ( I tried flashing a CM11 Nightly) ... that must be the issue

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

I wonder if it has to do with me being GSM (AT&T)? I too first tried to flash over a fresh install of Bliss and that is where I got the "system" errors during flash ....

Ok guys after much discussion here is the verdict:

This post will be maintained by me as long as I see fit and can continue with it while still working on BlissPop. I will start to add custom cherry-picked commits and as I do I will add them to post #3 so you can see what is changed from official CM sources. We now have 4 people working in collaboration on this project and will all be posting builds as they are done. Aside from that, carry on and enjoy the new ROM.

I'm not sure how much you (and/or others) needed to modify to get this to build but I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to build.

Edit: I tired different modes like lte/3g/1g/global, no result.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
My concern is that dirty flashing is typically not a good thing. You're having an issue that no others are having. There are some residual files. Try doing everything from the top: flash an AOSP ROM, wipe everything EXCEPT for /system (but backup your important stuff), and then flash your BlissPop/CM12 ROM. If you have any issues further, I would recommend backing up your data and formatting internal sd card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lahegry:
I ended up formatting internal data wiping everything on internal then going and doing a clean install. I have had absolutely no problem with anything since..... But just my two cents[emoji6]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dalingrin:
I won't disagree with you about dirty flashing in general but I can also confirm that there is still a race condition that will sometimes keep data from working on reboot.

I am almost certain it is a race condition which is why some people are claiming that they can reboot and keep data. I can reboot multiple times in a row and keep data but there have been a few times that I have lost data and it required a couple of reboots to get it back.

I am curious if this beta build from 11/30 had any cherry-picks. It would be interesting to see if a few of the pending commits on gerrit fix up the race condition on the M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
The times that I have lost anything (all I have lost is access to internal storage), I formatted internal storage and then I had no issues. So, try that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dalingrin:
I should have been more clear. I am talking about cellular data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
Are you on modified firmware, latest firmware, or old?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
My cellular data has been fine. I formatted internal SD before flashing. I did not test it without wiping my internal SD. I usually always wipe internal before flashing anything new. I keep all the important stuff on my external SD and the rest backed up to google. I'm on the custom firmware from [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dalingrin:
I am on modified firmware. Though as far as I know the only modification is a newer WiFi firmware which shouldn't affect this race condition.

I doubt the internal SD has anything to do with the cell data race condition. AFAIK, there is no state information stored on /sdcard

My guess is that one of these two commits will workaround the race condition:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/79749/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/79187/

I would test things myself but I no longer have a decent build environment set up. A cursory look at the radio logs suggests that when data isn't working it is because the SubController is screwed. Like I've said, I think it is a race condition where the RIL is querying prior to the SIM and such being ready.
