[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
I'm not sure if it's lollipop related or not, but I tried custom ROMs as well as a 100 stock RUU and the issue stayed. I think our phones have a hardware issue and it can be intermittent.

Side note, I got the warranty replacement yesterday which did have 5.0.1 installed, but was able to Root, unlock and S-off thanks to the newest method posted in the sunshine thread.

So now I'm back on Fluent ROM v7.5 and it's running oh so good. [emoji2]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
So, I rebooted my phone earlier because it was running extra slow, and now it's just sitting at the "HTC One Android" boot screen. Anyone have an idea how I can get it booted up? Holding down the power button doesn't turn it off, and holding down power with volume up shuts it off, but once I release the buttons it just starts booting up automatically, so I can't get to the bootloader/recovery.

Edit: Ignore me...I got it now. Hold Power+Volume Up for 10+ seconds, then switch to just Volume Down when the phone reboots, then you'll get to the bootloader. From there I booted to recovery, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, and it seems to be booting up now.

Hey andy is there an update to the ROM for the Stagefright exploit yet?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
That would have to come from HTC/Verizon before it can be implemented. So check back in 2020 lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kazx:
probably, i only asked because sprint and att both pushed fixes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Maybe Verizon will give us a 5.0.2 OTA as well with the patch? doubtful :-/

If I can get a stock dump of the OTA from sprint and the one before it, I may be able to diff out and possibly find the differences for the patch, but i highly doubt it.

FWIW, the Sprint OTA didn't kill the stagefright bug 100% - so I don't think anyone is wasting time updating their ROMs.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattie_49:
Wishful thinking. We are getting skipped till Android M . No lollipop update . Boo
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
The Sprint 5.0.2 recent OTA isn't even fully fixing stage fright I guess - I'm trying to diff it out but not finding anything.

Rom devs arent even wasting their time with the Sprint OTA with the patch so not sure how useful a Verizon OTA would even be. Ya never know, they could put out an OTA like Sprint did to patch stage fright. I would rebase but as u said - wishful thinking.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
If I get some time and some people willing to test I may try to put out an update porting the M9 developer edition base - Android 5.1 - 2.10.401.1
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazykas:
love to be a tester..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbeitel:
I am all in
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
I'll test as well, and that way I can get it inverted faster for everyone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I'm thinking may have kernel issues with 5.1, so I may go with the latest official M9 5.0.2 - 2.6.605.10, no promises though, I haven't been on M8 for awhile, and my porting skills are a bit behind.

I'll put out a few testers and see if they even boot, and then go from their.

Thanks guys. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Sounds tasty!!!

The official Sense 7 release of 5.1 for the M8 should be right around the corner too. Wasn't it estimated end of August?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Oh really? That'd save me a lot of time and effort, plus it'd be much more stable, I'll wait til end of Aug. and see what Verizon does.

Thanks!

Anyone else having issues with facebook being extremely buggy?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
... Have you tried contacting Facebook?

But I do remember seeing somewhere that if you disable the in app sounds it helps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RemnantKing2:
While that was their plan earlier, Sense 7 for the m8 will be bundled with Android Marshmallow, so definitely not end of August.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
Great, it's like the ICS update for the thunderbolt all over again lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
I'm running v6.0, and wondering if Xposed included in this ROM?

I could have sworn I ran across it somewhere on the phone, but to be honest it could have been one of those odd realistic dreams. If that is the case, and I'm dreaming about tweaking my Android phone, I should probably be looking for something more exciting to do!

What I'm after is setting up double tap to wake, so if you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to check them out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Double tap to wake is apart of stock HTC ROM ? Settings > display & gestures > motion launch gestures (see attached images) - if you are deleting the HtcLockScreen.apk for GPE/AOSP Lockscreen, it removes this feature.

I include MOD Pack in the second post of this thread, however feel free to use Xposed. I personally don't use (actually never have so to its compatability i am not sure, so i suggest a nandroid before if plan on trying) it nor include it as I offer the MOD Pack, which are MODs hard coded into our applications.

MOD Pack is ported from lyapota member, here is the main thread with the list of included Tweaks:

Stagefright Patch

Here is a Stagefright Patch for v7.5, should work on any M8 ROM, but I've only tested on v7.5

This is a *partial* fix that Google has pushed out, they have not fully patched it, but this is what you'd get if Verizon/HTC was to give us an OTA. This is also the same you'd get if on M9

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347804864
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
Thanks for the info. I actually forgot that tap to wake was part of the motion gestures. I disabled them awhile ago for some reason I can't remember. I'll give them a go. Too bad you can't pick and choose to disable them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Bleh.. It's always a low expectation with android release dates. Oh well, always fun to get hyped up once in a while :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Can you explain further by what you mean pick and choose to disable? You can pick and choose them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
I just see where you either turn on or off Motion Launch Gestures., not choose whether you want one or all of them. No biggie, seems to be working for what I wanted. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
After Andy's patch:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
If you only want one, turn all the other ones off

;)

Thanks, the other app shows more specifically what's patched and the one that Google didn't patch yet, as shown in the screenshot I posted.

So even the M9 which just got a Verizon aOTA to Android 5.1 and with "stage fright patch" -HTC was under the impression Google fully patched it but turns out they didn't but it's better than nothing. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
I'm on v6.0, and not seeing individual toggle settings for each gesture like you show in the screen shot. Perhaps that is part of the Mod pack, or part of v7.5. Either way, I'm happy for now. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Ahh, sorry. That makes sense. I'm in v7.5. Do you mind posting a screenshot of what your options are?

Hey Andy how's the M9? I need a better camera for work. This ultra pixel crap doesn't cut it sometimes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
How man how ya been?

M9 camera is... TERRIBLE!!! Gets better with updates and firmware but, ughh it's just not good at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Stam2000:
Great. Doing good over here. Left my family's restaurant business and do heating and a/c in the Hampton's. That's why I want a better camera lol. These houses are crazy huge. Guess I'll try and hold off for next HTC or gonna have to go back to Samsung
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Awesome man great to hear that, good for you!

Yea, unfortunately HTC, messed up with the M9 and will *hopefully* redeem themselves. Otherwise I may also move onto Samsung or Moto.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
TY for the effort on providing this, its truly appreciated.

Interestingly, I got an email from HTC support and they informed me that VZW is suppose to be pushing some kind of update/patch to the M8 for stagefright i guess, i don't think they are pushing anything to us, i think hey are still sitting on it.

I have not heard of an update to us, nor has anyone on here said anything to my knowledge?

Thanks!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Disclaimer: I'm not blaming Fluent ROM (or Andy) specifically.

Ever since flashing 1.33.605.15 (or at least since very shortly after) I've been getting relatively crappy performance, speed-wise, of my phone. Has anyone else seen similar performance drops on this version? (I'm betting no, otherwise people would have stopped using it, and Andy likely would have pulled it if it was causing these kinds of problems for everyone.) I'm thinking it's either a bad flash or that my phone doesn't like the default kernel, but I have nothing to base the assumption on. Are there any other kernels people can recommend that work with Fluent ROM? I know one kernel may perform wildly different between two phones of the same model, so if anyone can just recommend one that WORKS with this ROM, I can flash different kernels and give them a test drive. I'm probably also going to re-flash Fluent over the weekend, in case if it is just a bad flash. Also, I wiped cache and data several times (it's an OCD thing), like always, so it's not that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I find the 1.33.605.15 comparable to M9, actually m8 gets better battery.

As for kernel I highly suggest elite kernel by buckmarble, or kernel by lyapota. Here is lyapota kernel http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/orig-development/kernel-lonelyx-001-t2881605 , and elite should be in the other dev section.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lunburger:
Samsung is

DISGUSTING

bro, HTC might have messed up with camera, but things are

MUCH

worst on the Crapsung frontier; believe me, I came from there and the grass is MUCH greener on the HTC side.

No workaround for KNOX, not possible to unlock/relock bootloader like we do with HTC (can't unlock any of them as a matter of fact, just t-mobile comes unlocked--and is permanently unlocked)

Certain AT&T / Verizon models you can't even acquire root, rooting the phone makes it unbootable, sounds like a rented phone rather than an owned phone

Worst of all, there is no S-ON/S-OFF so what you see is what you get. At this point they're literally worst than Apple; even Apple does not soft-brick devices for jailbreaking.

Moto seems developer friendly though! :good: :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Samsung wasn't always this bad. I had sg3/sg4 on Verizon both with unlocked bootloaders.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Cool, I'll try those kernels after a fresh flash. Thanks Andy! Have a good holiday weekend (if you're in the US).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
/sigh Well, I finished flashing it again (clean, wiped cache/dalvik/data), and it's been booting for over 20 minutes now. It was doing this previously, after the last flash and anytime I rebooted since then. The only way to get it booting each time was to wipe cache/dalvik. All I flashed this time was Fluent and a kernel, but I didn't flash a kernel last time, so from what I can tell it has to be something with the ROM (since it's the only similarity between both flashes). Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? I checked the MD5 for the ROM both times, so...I dunno.

Edit: Well...I wiped and flashed again, and it's booting without needing to wipe each time. So, again...I dunno. And so far at least it's running pretty well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
This is a "user error" - not the ROM.

On a "clean" flash, wipe the system as well.

Don't flash the kernel in the same recovery session - in fact never flash anything in the same recovery session as a ROM (unless stated otherwise).

Flash the ROM let it fully boot (can take up to 30 minutes, be patient) and then go back to recovery and flash the kernel, MOD Pack, etc..

If you have any issue thus forward feel free to PM me and I can assist you further. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey Andy,

Just curious, Is that lyapota sense kernel compatible with fluent rom 7.5?

I noticed during flashing it states you need to be on a 4.xx rom. And after the flash it would hang on bootup. Waited for about 15 mins. Also tried wiping dalvik/cache. Was already on fluentrom 7.5 with lyapota modpack and hk sound.

No big deal either way, was just feeling adventurous and got flash hungry :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I used to use it on m8 before moving to m9, he may have updated it making it inconpatiole. Sorry about that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Gotcha. No biggie!

Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfobrien:
I agree, still have the S3 for backup purposes. Even though HTC has had some issues, still love the M8. Sorry, no intention to hijack the thread just commenting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
If someone has taken the stock OTA and can get me a pull of system that's be much appreciated.

Scratch this, [MENTION=1272062]santod[/MENTION] kindly gave me perms to re-base the ROM using his base!

Thanks man!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nickel17:
SWEET! I've been waiting for this Rom to be updated. I appreciate all of your hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey Andy!

I really hate bothering you with my crap... But I figured I'd get input on this.

I've had 7.5 for a long time, but the lag was just unbearable at times. Sometimes it would be snappy, sometimes the phone, or apps would take upwards of 10 seconds to move around (regardless of clean flash/wipe). I feel it depends on how the phone feels at the time lol. Maybe my phone just doesn't like the kernel, but no big deal.

Fast forward... I've flashed your 6.0 official verizon version, and I'm in love. Simply, my phone likes it a lot better. Not sure if its because of Sense 6 instead of Sense 7, or the kernel. Doesn't make a difference to me, i love it and it works amazing...

So here's the only issue. I flash the 6.0 ROM, do a normal reboot. I then flash Lyapota's version specifically for the Sense 6 you listed, rebooted. Google restores my apps via normal google play store. It now says there's ~10 apps that needs updates (probably apps that i didnt update before I flashed 6.0) I update them, the apps work fine. Next reboot, the apps go back to the older version and say they need updates again. Not sure the root cause?

I remember you saying something vaguely about stuff in data/apps needing to be deleted. that folder was empty on my phone... I figured I'm looking in the wrong location.

What do you think.. Is Google Restoring my apps the issue? Lyapota mod? The way the ROM is set to update apps? I'm stumped...

Thanks :)

Edit: Keep in mind this is a super fresh install. Before ROM flash, I wipe everything on the list there is to wipe including internal memory. Only thing that's not cleared is EXT SD card. I tried this x2 with same results

Does anyone know how to change the APN settings on this ROM? I'd like to get a phone changed over to Straight Talk. We got calls and text working but no data. I've found the required setting but I don't have an option to add a new one. Do I need to edit the build.prop or something?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mikexda:
In my experience, no. Once done you're good to go.

Sorry guys been a bit busy, have v7.0 coming out soon based on the new OTA. Base credit to Santod040

Will have MOD Pack hopefully done by release, but if not soon after.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Xposed won't work on Lollipop because it's ART runtime only (no more Dalvik) and Xposed doesn't work with ART. Unless Xposed dev reworks it, it's bye bye to Xposed framework mods. :crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
Does SRfluent ROM build have all your tweaks in it? Does flashing mod pack #7 ruin the hide status bar icons? Love not seeing those lol and does SR ROM version have regular 4G icon? I like stock look :) Thanks in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
i thought he said it was the M7 port, but ti doesnt matter none much
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
SROM has most te MODs but u can flash the lyapota MOD pack I edited.

v1.1.0 left pretty stock (next version howevere will contain all MODs), and left you guys with the options for what MODs by editing the MOD pack

again USE the one I posted in the OP!!

to remve battery though, you must go into settings > power > and untick the tick the battery % :)

am/pm also works fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
So MMS on SRfluent should work flawless since it has all the right MMS edits? Main concern is group MMS coming in as one message.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
thanks man, all those work, becuase I use al those MODs, read above on the battery fix error. The erst are fine, but you must be using the edited MOD pack in post #2.

maybe try titanium backup?

you may have to install all apps, a pain I know, or maybe try a diff app? one with def. LP support.

Thanks man, the kernel DEF helps, and makes this ROM special and and super fast!

I'll post the stock in a flashable.zip but I suggest you use Buck kernel it will be included from here on out.

thank you Sir, you are a beast!

awesome stuff!

LTE as I said before it an issue that comes when I do the MOD to hide the dormant 4g icon while on wifi.

I will look into changing the actual .png in SystemUI.apk back to 4G soon.

:)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Hey man this is a port, I'm just happy MMS even works...

The other option of course is to wait for official. I'd like group msg as much as the next guy, believe me. But at lease it's functional, yea?

Poor Sprint guys dont even have a working ROM with data let alone MMS, LTE, etc

To the OP, great work, man. Question regarding your edited Lyapota Mod pack, is it only compatible with TWRP? I have used clockwordmod recovery for the last year; I am not able to select the install option in recovery; it looks like the touchscreen option isn't working properly. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
That's more a question for Lyapota. Or just try, won't hurt. As my only edits are to the applications. The actual installer and MOD pack itself is still basically 90% original.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
Actually if you use Textra, there is an option for using mms for group messaging and it solves the group messaging issue on AOSP and int'l ported ROMs. It's the only sms/mms client i have found that works well even though some of the other clients have the same option. I have found that textra sends/receives group messages perfectly to/from iphones and other carriers.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cduru:
Okay. Thanks. And just to clarify, your srom does have these mods as I understand.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Wow. Dude. I have never read such long post(s). Took me like 3 screen time outs to get through on my phone haha. Anyway. I'm not really sure if you had any questions. Just feedback which I highly appreciate, thank you. If you do have a question let me know. :)

Also in settings, the icon for Data usage is all funky looking.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I don't like to disagree but I thought I fixed the settings issue in v.1.1.0, it should have app ops and ability to turn music channel on and off w.o a force close. Anyway, flash the mod pack in post #2 of this thread. It will get fixed by flashing that. Even if you unclick everything lol.
