Does anyone know of a way to disable the nav bar? Maybe through a build.prop or db edit?

2136

I am running the 12.18.14 build and just downloaded the latest build.

What is the correct way to apply this update?

I boot into recovery. I am running TWRP 2.8.3.0

Do I have to do a wipe ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Feldroid:
You could either dirty flash, and just install the new build in recovery, and once aroma installer pops up, dirty flash. That will keep your data and settings intact. Or you could select full wipe in aroma, and it will do a clean flash. That will install everything fresh. You would need to install all your apps again.

No GPS

Originally flashed the 12/18/2014 release, coming from stock, and on my last road trip I realized I didn't have any GPS lock at all, fortunately I had my company phone with me as well. I just dirty flashed the 12/28/2014 release and still no GPS. Am I missing something in the install/setup process or is there a quick fix for this?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iweksler:
Would you please explain me the reason for moving my post from the development thread here? If you read it carefully you'll see that I reported to the dev the issues I encountered in his freshly released ROM. I did that for the sole reason to help him. I haven't asked any questions or given any answers. Besides, I've seen lots of questions/answers there that you haven't touched. So I'd really appreciate it greatly if you could explain the logics that governed you in this case, so that I can help you in your hard work by refraining from publishing the posts there, or perhaps any posts at all for that matter. Save me some time and effort too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pstrang:
The quickest fix is to search the threads to find other solutions. This has been discussed at length. Then you should follow the instructions of the developer found in post #2 of the ROM thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
Did you follow the GPS lock in Sense method? It's been described several times throughout the main thread. But again:

Flash a sense ROM (any sense ROM)

get a GPS lock

Immediately reboot to recovery, flash this ROM

Your GPS should now work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] phoenix911:
I was trying to avoid having to do that if possible, guess I will have something to do when I get off work.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
It's the tried and true method. I've been doing it since I had a Samsung gs3, it rarely fails.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] phoenix911:
Now, would I be able to use this method and restore from a backup in recovery? or would it just need to be a clean wipe all the way around?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shamestick:
You should be able to restore your backup
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ironbesterer:
Put this GPS.config over your current one in system/etc then reboot. It worked for me. Delete the .zip

Love the rom and sorted out little issues already. I am using the Elite GPE kernel, is it q bad idea or useless to use Lollipop's battery saver when using a kernel like this that adjusts CPU speeds
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
Ok, so I have been having an issue for a bit, and not sure if it is related to the ROM or to Google Voice. My Google Voice is integrated with my Sprint number as well as Hangouts. I really love having the integration, but the problem I am having is with notifications. It doesn't seem to auto receive my text messages. I have to go into the app, and even sometimes the thread to get the messages to download. Anyone else having this problem?

Setup

12.28 - Dirty flashed over clean 12/18 (Although I have had this issue on every build so far)

Sprint

Flashed Lollipop Firmware

Stock Kernal

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
I think it's a hangouts bug, as I'm receiving a similar issue with normal Hangouts messages. Rebooting usually solves the issue temporarily. Probably related to the lollipop memory leak issue ( notification listener service might be getting killed due to low memory)

That's my theory, anyway.

Google Play Music being deleted after every update

Every time I flash a new update for the ROM, my Google Play Music app gets deleted along with all my music, forcing me to redownload everything (4k+ Songs). I don't know if this is an issue with Aroma since Play Music isn't one of the apps selectable to be installed. Would making it a system app help? I have held off updating for some time now because of this.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shamestick:
Are you using greenify on hangouts? If so, that could definitely be the problem

GPE 5.0.1 for HTC One M8 Verizon, on T-Mobile network

I flashed GPE on my M8 (verizon) which I am currently use on T-Mobile network. I had the latest vzw firmware for 4.4.4 (3.28.605.4) before; first I wiped the device and installed GPE and picked verizon version on aroma; everything went smoothly, but I did not have cellular connection to T-Mobile. Next, I flashed rom another time. This time I picked gsm version (near stock) in aroma. The same problem existed. I used the firmware provided in OP to update the firmware. It was updated with no problem. still the problem exist.

I have seen some folks claimed they could successfully use GPE 5.0.1 to convert M8 Verizon to work on T-Mobile network. I thought it should be true since the GPE is claimed to be multicarrier rom.

My phone is S-OFF, super CID ( I even tried CID: T-MOB010). The only thing that I have not tried yet is that in the last section of trouble shooting (bug reporting) [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] suggested some radio problems are caused by a corrupted NV partition. I will try to follow his instruction to go back to stock rom, stock recovery and do a factory data reset.

I was wondering if anyone here used GPE 5.0.1 to convert Verizon M8 to work on T-mobile with success? I very much appreciate any help.

I am mobile, have searched with no luck.

On latest firmware - Verizon user - latest release.

The ear piece volume is killing me, seems a lot quieter than when on 4.4.x, I have not done any sound mods, but from what I have read in them, they do not address in call volume.

I switch to speaker phone so I can hear those talking but then the alternate mic must get enabled, because people complain about not being able to hear me until I take it off speaker.

Any help, suggestions? I remember seeing something about a xml you could edit, but can't seem to find that anywhere.

Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TotallyAnxious:
Faux sound has an option for in call volume. You have to buy the app and use a kernel that supports it.

I have seen the people in here asking about the WiFi sleep policy not working. Have yet to see anyone who have found a fix for it. Just wonder if someone can point me in the direction to get the WiFi sleep to stay on when I turn my screen off. My WiFi policy is set to "always" but it still turns off when I turn my screen off., and yes I am one of the few that turns off my mobile data frequently to just use WiFi.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] temple2101:
Am I an idiot or can you not send videos via mms? I've tried through Hangouts and Messenger, but there is no option to do so, only the option to send photos. I've tried both from within the app and from within Photos. When in an sms app, if I click the attachment button it just allows me to choose photos, doesn't even show my videos. When in the Photos app, if I choose share on a video, Hangouts or Messenger are not even an option. Running 12/28 on Verizon with Elite kernel.

Edit: Nevermind. As it usually goes, even though I searched for this info before posting, another Google search has led me to believe this is a limitation of mms on the carrier side. Videos are too large to send and therefore Hangouts or Messenger does not even give the option to do so. I think I was confused because I came from iOS where videos could be sent but they're very compressed. I always wondered why they were compressed and looked terrible and I guess I know why now. If I'm wrong on this let me know.

Did you ever find a fix for this? If not, update your firmware to 5.0 if you haven't already.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Flylowguy:
Hey guys! First off, great rom. It's really fun to be right on the bleeding edge of the newest stuff! Anyway. I'm running the latest version with the stock kernel on verizon. I can't seem to get the gps lock. (No turn by turn, etc.) I see that it's been posted to flash stock sense in order to fix this. I am confused by this. Let me propose what I think you are asking, then someone correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Make twrp nandroid of current setup. (Boot, System, Data)

2. Factory reset wipe. (Data, Cache, Dalvik, Android Secure.) Should I also wipe system?

3. Flash stock sense rom. Perhaps my old unsense backups.... (also great rom)

4. Factory reset wipe as above. Again, wipe system?

5. Restore nandroid of GPe

6. Profit.

Alright. Is that the general procedure? If I can get GPS working, this rom will be perfect and a donation will be incoming. Thanks a ton!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You missed the important step of getting a Device-only GPS lock while in Sense (use an app like GPS Test to confirm a 3D fix). Then you should immediately reboot to recovery and restore your nandroid.

Wiping doesn't really matter if you're going to be restoring a nandroid, as the partitions you're restoring will always be formatted/wiped at the beginning of the restore process.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Flylowguy:
Sounds great. I'll give it a go when I get home. Thanks!

Alright. The gps works after flashing back to sense and getting a lock. Now I'm curious. Does anyone know why it works? Also, if I want to donate to Digital High for his great work is the paypal address in his profile good?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
My theory is the GPS data is located in the lower level NV partition (with the other radio data) that isn't changed when flashing ROMs or restoring nandroids.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Flylowguy:
Perhaps. But something I did makes me wonder. I had a similar issue to this on one of my old roms, ARHD. The solution there was to copy the gps.conf and gps_default.conf files from /etc on a stock rom, and place them in etc on the rom that wasn't working. So before I tried the flashing trick, I did this. Neither worked. Then I tried this. And it still didn't work at first, at least not until I deleted the gps.conf and gps_default.conf that I had copied over.. Makes me wonder about those files...

Hi Deno,

Most of the battery issues with the Lollipop GPE ROMs have been caused by Google's experimental HTML streaming player, NuPlayer. To disable it, go to Settings -> Developer Options.

Scroll down almost to the end. Under Media, uncheck Use NuPlayer. If this is the cause of your battery drain, then you should see an immediate improvement.

have fun,

Hmm. Running 12/9, and I got really bizarre touchscreen responses. I would scroll and recents would open, or it would go to the home screen. Turned on show touches, and every once and a while, wherever I was touching would turn into 5 touches spread vertically. No screenshot because it was flashing really fast.

Rebooted to recovery and cleared cache and that seemed to fix it, but I'll try going to 12/11 and reinstalling firmware.

No 4G LTE service on Verizon - HTC One M8

I'm stuck on 3G Data -

I recently traveled abroad to Italy and didn't use any data or cell coverage. I was mostly connected to a WiFi hot spot. I used airplane mode for the flights back and forth. Before leaving I was on the 12/18 update and the Stock Kernel and 4G LTE was working fine. Since coming back I haven't had 4G data at all. I've tried some of the 4G apps to see if it can lock on - but no luck. Everyone else in my household is on Verizon 4G LTE without issues (stock HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S3)

Since the issue has occurred I have flashed the 12/28 update as well as tried the Stock/EliteGPE Kernels but no luck with the 4G data. Is this a Kernel issue, radio issue, Verizon issue? Need some direction on this one.

Hello All,

Found this on Google. Thought I better post here. I will post in the main thread as well. This seems like something everyone (on Sprint) should know.

If you're using Google Voice on your Sprint phone, you shouldn't turn on text messages and voicemails in Hangouts. This will cause problems with your text messages.

If you've already turned on text messages and voicemails in Hangouts, you can turn them off.

For Google Voice on Sprint phone users, you can continue to use Hangouts as your default text-messaging app. But you can't receive your voicemails through Hangouts.

Once flashed - did a factory reset from hboot (this is what actually fixes it)

Let it boot up - (added gmail account so I could install gps tools to verify lock)

flashed recovery (fastboot)

flashed 4.4.4 firmware (fastboot)

flashed 5.0 firmware (fastboot)

Google Drive Thumbnails

So I've installed the latest zip (12/28/2014) on my Verizon M8, with the latest firmware from the OP. For some reason, Google Drive doesn't show any thumbnails. I use Google Drive frequently for school and work, and in this current situation, I have to download files in order to preview them (images, documents, etc.).
