Noob question. Please don't get mad.

I am completely new to this, so I apologize if my questions are stupid. I installed Weaksauce2 and Sunshine. My VZW HTC One M8 is unlocked and s-off. I now have to get an installer to flash the rom, but do not know how. It seems as though OP suggested Aroma, but after a little bit of searching, I found that to be a little too advanced for me. Is there anything simpler out there? TWRP maybe? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
You need to install the latest twrp. I recommend googling how to fastboot flash twrp. Very easy and quick and you'll be up and running.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
You should not be updating to 4.4.4 via SD card method. It's no longer supported as all it does is cause problems updating that way. This thread has all the info you need.

"Root Access Possibly Lost" and Adding Homescreens

Hello everybody,

I've rooted my HTC One M8 (Verizon) last night and downloaded this ROM right after. It worked just fine and I really liked it, so thank you OP. However, there's a couple of things that are troubling me.

First, I cannot change the main home screen (it's always the one on the furthest left) or add more home screens. This seems silly but I like to have one "actual" home screen" and 4 others just to see my wallpaper through. Do you know of any tool that would allow me to do that?

Second and probably more importantly, whenever I reboot, the phone goes into recovery. After choosing "reboot," it asks me whether I want to fix the root because "root access was possibly lost." This wasn't happening before I had this ROM. Do you guys know how to fix it?

I'm still pretty new to xda/rooting/modding/etc. so please use simple language :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
Sounds like you're on an old twrp. What version are you on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjoostema:
When you reboot after "fixing root" download an app called root checker from the play store and verify that you are indeed rooted. If you are, then download another app called flashify. Flashify will flash the latest TWRP for you without having to hassle with commands. From your browser on your phone, you can just Google search TWRP for M8 and it will lead you to the page with the correct TWRP (you want the one with the newest date, usually at the bottom of the downloads) It would be good to learn the commands to get a better understanding, but if you just wanna fix crap quickly, go with Flashify. PM me if I can help further.

Verizon Dirty dirty flashed 12/18 build coming from 12/11 and everything is working great. Another great build IMO. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
FWIW, I think I resolved some issues with dirty flashing on the last few builds. I still have to re-pair my phone to my car stereo and set up some stuff that was in /secure, but that's necessary. I've been able to dirty flash today's build several times with no weirdness.

Fortunately for you, not only did I used to be a sprint user, but I also had an Airrave b/c of their horrible coverage. :/

If you could, do *#*#4636#*#* from dialer, go into phone info, and grab a screenshot of the data there. Specifically, the Cellinfo: section. My guess is the airrave is using a specific apn that's not in the ROM. If I have this info, it's possible I can make it go.

EDIT: PM IT TO ME...don't post your phone number in publick. :P

You say you rooted your phone. How, exactly, did you do this? What program/method/tutorial/guide did you use to accomplish this? My best guess given your post is that you either need to update your firmware...google ("M8VZW 4.4.4 firmware"). The accompanying links should get you through it.

My second best guess is that "rooted" does not equate to "S-Off", which is a bit different. With S-off, you can flash stuff to certain sections of the phone you otherwise couldn't touch, like the bootloader. Bootloader is where the kernel lives, and the kernel is the thing that controls everything else in the phone when a ROM is running.

Either way, a bit more information about what you've done and what you're running would help a lot.

[MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] is my os supposed to be changing to this (3.11.1700.5) after flashing you're newest firmware zip.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Banana-:
I rooted using this guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708628 ), except that weaksauce didn't work so, after asking around and taking a really long time to decide, I used weaksauce2 in combination with sunshine (paid 25$) in place of the weaksauce steps. In the guide, it says choose either TWRP or CWM. I chose CWM. My firmware version was 4.4.4, the latest, before flashing this ROM.

Root Checker says I have root access. Should I proceed and flash TWRP even though I have CWM? The version of the CWM I used is 6.0.4.8.

Thank you for your replies!

On the 12/17/14 update,

When you have taken a picture with the HTC Camera, the HTC gallaery app crashes when you attempt to see the preview. Is this normal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I might use that boot animation. Sounds cool. That was one thing I liked in Linux, how when it was booting up it told you what it was doing.

Is there a way (and I'm thinking probably not) for the Aroma installer to save your selections across ROMs? That is, before installation, it makes a file, something like Digitalhigh.ini, of my choices. Then, next time I install the ROM, everything I checked before, is checked by default in the next version. Would save a little time, and you could tell people to attach their Digitalhigh.ini so you could see what they installed.

Touch Issues

On this update, I am getting some strange reaction when touching or opening apps. A few times this evening, when I touch to open an apk in the app_drawer, another apk opens. It has happened when opening Dropbox (resulting in HtcCamera opening) ES File Explorer (resulting in the Calendar apk opening) and a few others. I've also noticed that the touch and scrolling is much more sensitive. Fullwipe, Captain's kernel, Htc latest firmware.

Anyone else experience something similar?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:

Hey team, I'm running v12/17 and keep getting an error from Google+ saying it crashed or something and you should uninstall it then re-install it. Any ideas what this is caused from and if it was fixed in 12/18?

Also, I believe this is better aimed at Captain, I remember in your previous roms and threads you did work on adding the "Roam Only" option. Is that still available in 5.0, and Digital is there any kind way you could incorporate that in your next build? :) My reception is horrible at my house and enjoyed using Sprint Wi-Fi calling, unfortunately that doesn't exist on 5.0 just yet.

VZW | GPE | Android Lollipop | digitalhigh

Thank you so much for doing this [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]. I've been running this ROM for about a month and love it and I jove how involved you are with keeping it updated. You are working so hard on this and it is appreciated!

Quick question on updating the framework. You have "show battery percent" pre-checked in the installation script. I've left it checked a few times on accident and the only way to get it back to stock, not showing, is a clean, fresh install. If i do a Dirty Install and un-check the box, it'll still show. I don't really see a point to having the percentage showing since its baked into the pull down menu from stock. I guess it makes sense for those that want a persistent percentage but it just gives me battery anxiety lol.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Alarm/phone problems on 12/18 build

Hey [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]! First off, I have to say this is my favorite ROM for the One M8. I'm having a blast with it and it's fast like I have never seen. Awesome job!

Now, I'm having some trouble. I tried a few different things including full wipe in TWRP (Captain Throwback's build) and reinstalling everything from scratch. The alarm that I use isn't working properly. When I go to adjust the volume for any one alarm that I have set up, the alarm settings FC, and the alarm doesn't play. Also, occasionally when I receive calls and the screen is unlocked, the phone FC's as well. If I don't hit OK to close the FC window, I can still take the call. If I hit OK to close the window, it goes away (needless to say). I actually had to go back to your 12/11 build because I found that everything works with that build. I'm a little stumped right now and would appreciate your input. I don't know how to make a logcat, but I learn fast with proper instruction. If I can help by doing that, please tell me.

Thanks much!

edit: I'm on the 5.0 firmware

Wifi turning off during sleep

It seems as though wifi turns off while the phone is in sleep no matter what the setting is. I have conflicting evidence. On one hand expanding battery stats shows wifi always on, but on the other hand apps lose connection. For example, when I put the device to sleep while reading the comments on reddit, the comments normally are still there when I turn screen on. When wifi turns off they do not reappea, which is happening on this rom. Another example is android wear. While using this rom the watch disconnects after the device is put to sleep for a while. Any one have a solution?

[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]

Was it TWRP that had dumlock support?

With dumlock support, the recovery could detect you were S-off, and could automagically flash boot image through the bootloader. Not sure if I've got my wires crossed or if it works for M8, but I was under the impression this was a thing of the past...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
HTC Dumlock is a TWRP option, but it shouldn't be necessary (I don't think).

When unlocked (even when S-ON), the boot partition should be writable in recovery. Though some commands can't successfully write to boot (like package_extract_file), using dd should work fine, which is what the script in the ROM is using.

Though it's been so long since I've been S-ON, maybe I'm wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] taspankya:
i dont think carrier agnostic 5.0.1 installed for me. when i was in the bootloader after i picked to install it in aroma, i went to hboot. from there i saw it ask to update 4 or 5 things. i didnt know what exactly it was and was only 50% sure it was the 5.0.1 firmware. so i didnt update it.

how can i check what firmware i actually have? and if i don't have the one bundled in the GPE_5.0.1_DH_12/11 rom, is there a way for me to just install that firmware without going through the rom aroma setup all over again.
