The way it works in a Nissan, is a message pops up on the screen saying you received a text. You have a choice to press "Ignore", or " Read". If you press "Read", the text message is read through the speakers. I would hope all cars give you a choice, because if it automatically reads it, the passenger in the car, might hear something you don't want them to hear. ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Great post, feedback and point!

Never Eben thought about what the passenger may hear!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerryatherton:
Sorry i don't have more detail. She said the phone and notifications work through the radio.just not the text itself.

Sent from my Touchpad
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
Andy, imagine if the person who sent the text, was talking $hit about the passenger, not knowing they were in the car????

Finally upgraded to 7.4 working great except for one small issue. When playing music stored on my SD card it will periodically play at what seems to be . 5 speed and get really distorted. Streaming music works fine. Any ideas? I did the hk mod when I flashed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I know.. I complemented you for your post? Did you read my post wrong??

You made a wonderful post and point I never thought about...

I appreciate it very much..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Hmm I wonder if HK has anything to do with this. I don't use an sdcard to I can't trust ATM.

Can anyone else confirm or not confirm this by chance?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] atomD21:
Just had a bug pop up that I don't remember hearing about yet. I have a banking app that has to verify my device the first time I use it via a texted code that I have to send back. Every time I try to text the number back, it crashes the phone process and has to reconnect the sim card. Other texts work fine. I had to clean flash after the first time it happened because it have me a sim error that wouldn't let me connect to Verizon's 4g anymore. I tested it again after the reflash, and same result. The text comes from a five digit number, that on stock would pop up a warning that it may cost me money to reply. Other than that, this ROM flies and runs smooth! Thank you Andy!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Unfortunately this was brought to my attention but couldn't figure out why its doing this. Terribly sorry for this inconvenience.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] arkard1:
I should add that hk mod worked flawlessly when I was on 7.2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] atomD21:
Andy, thanks for the quick response! Sorry if I missed where that was already mentioned. 214 pages is a lot to sift through! I got the app activated over the phone, so all is well! Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
hmm, so this is a v7.4 problem?

I'm starting to think that the new 5.0.2 framework is causing some of these issues.

I may have to suggest that some go back to v7.2 or v7.3 if you were getting better results.

Basically the new framework fixes interruptions. So going back to v7.2 may be better for others if you are experiencing an issue with v7.4 and weren't on previous and this issue is more important than the interruptions fix.

I am not sure I really want to spend too much time on these small (yet very annoying) bugs as I feel we should be seeing an OTA update for Sense 7 hopefully soon.

no need to apologize, it is a lot to sift through, also it was brought to my attention through PM.

Glad you got it fixed and thanks for posting how, it will be a good alternative for other having this.

Thank you kindly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] arkard1:
Just letting you know I fixed it by downloading the hk mod for in the front page and switching to boomsound. Not sure if it wound have fixed it if I just reflashed as hk or not. I just need to be able to listen to my SD card so all is good on my end now ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
so it is an hk mod issue?

perhaps the adsp.img isn't working well with the 5.0.2 framework?

either way glad you got it working.

it's nice to have alternatives for these bugs so thanks all for the feedback.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Hey Andy- kexec is a kernel patch that allows users to use multirom. This means the user can add additional roms and choose which one to boot.

For instance, I could have your rom, a GPE rom, and Cm12 all on my phone.

When it boots, I can choose which rom I want to boot.

However, it's only supported on a small number of devices. So until multirom sees this rom as an M8, multirom will give an unsupported error.

Think PC with Windows 7, Ubuntu, and Windows 8 all loaded up and you choose which OS to boot to.

Hope that helps.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
If anyone is bored and able to, I am uploading a v7.5 test and see if it boots.

It's ok if no one has time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Its just the code to let multirom work with the roms that the kernel goes with
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
I've got some time Andy. All systems at work are running fine. Just drop me a link.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you so much my friend!

The 2 main things I am looking for in this test is

1) that it actually boots

2) Interruptions working

thank you again!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d1ez3:
Has anyone gotten a message like this before?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
OK. I don't use interruptions so tell me what I need to do and what im looking for.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
When u press volume u will see "none" "priority" and "all"

When u tap none u should get an icon in the status bar but it should also give u icon for sound off, see my attachment.

Thanks again.

Did you flash yet or just asking? My main concern is will it boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Flashing now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
OK all seems well
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
Kexec is code that allows for booting a kernel without rebooting the device. Kexec patched kernels are required for the primary ROM in a MultiROM setup.

see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec

-xdadevelopers-user

EDIT: I guess I'm a little late with my explanation. I supposes I need to read the ENTIRE thread before replying. :(

Anyway, FWIW, FluentROM has been working great for me with MultiROM both as a primary ROM (using buck's sense kernel) and as a secondary with the included kernel. It's currently a secondary.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Are you having any issues with it booting to bootloader first ?

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Never seen it before.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
Yes. However, you can workaround that if your primary and secondary can share the same boot.img. To do that:

Recovery->Advanced->MultiROM->list ROMs->Tap a secondary->remove boot.img

Now your selected secondary ROM will share the boot.img from the primary and it should no longer boot you into bootloader. Without its own boot.img you won't be able to make nandroid backups of the secondary anymore though.

Keep in mind that the kernel you use for the primary MUST also be supported for any secondary that you try this with. So it won't work, for example, if your primary is Sense and your secondary is GPE.

Also (and I'm guessing you already know this) if you do get thrown into the bootloader you can just choose reboot (twice?) and then it should boot your secondary.

Finally, if your secondary won't boot at all and you get dropped back into recovery, you may be able to fix that with restorecon.

-xdadevelopers-user
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
OK thanks for the tip. Yeah im aware of the double reboot trick lol. I know its not much aggravation but just wanted to b sure it wasn't something on my end.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
You're the man thanks for testing!

Can you do me a quick solid and go into settings > more and see if u get an NFC f/c and then try HTC connect in more as well pretty please?

Also did interruptions turn off sounds? Put it on none and send yourself a text msg,please and see if u get sound.. U shouldn't.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
No FC on either function. No sound on text either.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Awesome! Thank you again!

OK one more thing please,does Bluetooth turn on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Bluetooth turns on, can't say for sure if it connects.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Were good if it turns on. Can't thank you enough!!

Can you guys help me with a current list of bugs for me to test for v7.5?

What I can remember is:

HTC Sync

Multirom not seeing this device cos I have it set to M9

Paid messages (like the bank balance f/c)

Thanks guys, any issues please speak up, can't fix what don't know or remember about :)

And its been a busy thread lately and these are the only ones I remember.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
That's all I can remember...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I was just adding another scenario to my original post. I saw your response.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Ok
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Andy, just mentioning the international roaming pop up that would come up during texting and I"am in Ohio, another guy had same in Ohio and another I saw was in New york.

I"am going to m9 on friday but I wanted to mention it again for others not sure if others posted it and I just missed it, any way didnt know if worth mentioning but yeah it could be a htc issue not sure just did not have it on 7.0. 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3 only on 7.4 and everything on phone is the same as was on those versions such as hk mod which works great.

Any way appreciate the great work we are lucky to have you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
thanks man, I'm working on making v7.5 now..

It's a mix of v7.2 and v7.4

I am hoping this solves issues for those
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Without root on my m9 I will probably just keep using my m8. I will just mess around with my m9 meanwhile lol. So yours will still be my dd on my m8 then when we get root on m9 I"am sure yours will be my dd there too, thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I'm hoping..

I am still about $75 away from my M9 goal.

If I don't reach it I'll just be keeping my M8.

I could sell the M8 and get M9, but I'm not doing that.

Hopefully I can save up the money before too long, if it's a few months after the M9 is out I may just wait on it... so we'll see. I hope to be Devving for M9. :)

Okay guys, I'm uploading a v7.5-test2.

If you are happy with v7.4.. I suggest staying on it.

If you are a flashaholic like myself and like trying new things, please flash this and give me feedback.

I am hoping this fixes HTC Sync.

and multiROM.

and maybe even the bluetooth issue some were having in their car, with reading text.

I am getting too worn out to be doing all the testing by myself, so if no one is willing to play with this version, can I ask for a group of maybe 5 ppl willing to be my testers?

Thanks guys, I love you all!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
I will test this tonight.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
I'm in. I'm gonna wait for the M10. I think those of us that love their M8s will hopefully be relevant as long as some devs see the light and don't get an M9 lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
ran out of XDA thanks, so I'll give you a personal one until I tmw lol. - Thank you, Sir.

I wish they didn't limit us. :-/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] atomD21:
If you're still looking for testers, I'm happy to oblige!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myk.robinson:
I'll test.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
You guys all rock!

The ROM is uploading now, I'll post the link in here when finished.

Many many thanks!

This is going to help me out so much.

I changed every call back to say that the phone is an M8 running on Verizons latest OTA with sense 6.

Hopefully this cleans up any HTC Sync issues and MultiROM.

I also changed some things that I hope will fix the bluetooth in the car some are having, and I think those were the only bugs.

So hopefully those a fixed, without anything else breaking. :)

If you can before really setting things up just kinda roll through everything you can think of and make sure it at least turns on, like NFC, bluetooth, HTC connect, hotspot, etc
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I wouldnt be getting mine if it were not for a new contract with $150 rebate prepaid visa card through the comcast web site buying new verizon service. I hope that last $75 goes fast for you. I had to charge my $199 on my cc hope to pay off soon hopefully. Then eventually sell off my m8 which I still have part of the charge on my cc for that yet lol. Its the american way spend spend spend then try to pay off later lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
guys im getting the m9!!!! thanks to a very special someone whom I won't name until they give the ok

I will be able to support the M8 even better with the M9 too!

win win!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Andy are you still recommending

1. flash rom reboot go through set up

2. reboot recovery flash hk mod

3. reboot recovery flash mod pack

4. reboot rom and benefit :D lol.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Awesome dude glad to hear wish I could have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
always. have to have those reboots.

but for right now for testing before doing hk and modpack make sure everything works :)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
sounds like a router problem for your wifi...

could be wrong, i havent encountered any wifi issues, anyone else?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] napoleontheruler:
Is this ROM multicarrier?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
sorry no. it will flash on any carrier though as the updater-script is based off busybox not mmblock..

so give it a whirl.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gemro311:
No disrespect to Andybones, this ROM is great. It's the lollipops release by Google that's an issue. I have the Nexus 9 ..stock/rooted and I have all sorts of crazy stuff going on..Wireless , screen blanking out, apps force closing..and several more issues..not much fun.. Lets see how this shakes out down the road. Keep up the great work Sir Andybones. Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] KSprec:
Wasn't a router problem, the WiFi would scan but it would never complete and it would look like it froze. I somehow managed to get it to work by going into the WiFi settings, removing my home WiFi and it would scan so I could reconnect.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LibertyMonger:

Every dollar is highly appreciated as this is 100% free time self taught and loving it. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
haha very nice! I do get a f/c in settings toggling on off though
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zax10:
Andy I can also confirm this. I have not tried to change fw as no external sd and computer took a dive the other day.

It will be fine and randomly refuse to reconnect. The only fix so far is a quick reboot. I have experienced this on the other 5.0.1 Rom.

I expect the problem is related to the stock 4.4.4 fw.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry about the wifi guys, FWIW though..

I decided to flash that SROM..

non of the firmware crap just the system.img and boot.img and did a system/pull and fixed all the buggies and decided to make it a "Fluent-SROM"

edition and am uploading that now.

Fixed the missing Verizon operator name in settings

fixed the data

fixed MMS

not sure of any other bugs? maybe the same? maybe better?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
So to be clear, you're porting that 5.0.2 ROM to Verizon?

Haven't had any WiFi issues. I've spent ~2 months on GPE and only left it because I wanted GPS. Tried NuSense and now I'm on Fluent. Still on RC3 though. Not the pulled one, the one that replaced it. Probably going to run it through the week, I'll be too busy to mess with flashing. Fluent is great so far. I'm using the latest firmware from DH. And firmware is where these issues seem to lie. In the GPE thread it's all about using the latest, but the Sense threads seem more relaxed on that front. If I get issues, I'll try going back to the latest KitKat firmware and try to reproduce the issue then, but the Lollipop firmware has been good to me across Sense and GPE, so I'll stick with it....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
The problem is we don't actually have the VZW Sense LP firmware.. what we have is hacked together of parts from other LP frmware that will also work on our phone, so it leaves us with some things) There is verizon Sense LP firmware, but the beta HTC guys have that and aren't allowed to talk about or share it from what I've heard.

you should dirty flash v1.0.0, though. :)

-------------

but yes I downloaded that S-ROM from the China Dev

it comes in .img files so but I didn't want any of that crap so I just flashed the system and boot images

(feel free to mess with his firmware that he posted... I am staying away personally. but you can always go back... I am just content with what I am on, also with that Dev never posting, who knows what is actually in there... it could actually be good sense lp firmware and we don't even know it, or it could be nothing at all to care about. the beauty of S-OFF you get to experiment.

such as trying kernel from S-ROMFluent on actual Fluent ROM..

I then did an adb pull

and made a ROM out of it and made it basically the same features as Fluent, just on the new base.

From what I can tell it is android 5.0.2, not that I notice any differences, but I fixed all his problems and now it's all set to go, I'm actually going to be running it instead to give it a try, it has a different kernel as well, curious to try it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I'm mostly aware of what's in the firmware on my phone, but always glad to hear someone more knowledgeable explain it. My understanding is we're all, at best, still on the KitKat radios, but the LP firmware has updated WiFi, and I think something else. It definitely helped, as just running all KitKat firmware, I was getting WiFi drops.

As for the 5.0.2 base, on my wife's Nexus 7 at least, it was an 18.1MB OTA, that of course she could not flash because I have TWRP on it. Some people in Scott's stock rooted ROM thread are saying 5.0.2 is snappier. Isn't it supposed to have better battery life, too? Not that I'm complaining. When I plug in my charger before bed, I'm typically in the 20-40% range. GPE, NuSense, Fluent RL3, none of them have done my battery wrong. Even back in November when people were saying the battery was draining fast, it still got me through one day, which is all I ask.

If I dirty flash Fluent 1.0.0, will I have to re-flash the mod pack? I just flashed it, and dammit, I had to go through optimizing apps again. Had I known that, I would have flashed Fluent 1.0.0 first. Anyway, the mod pack's made me very happy with the ROM. Any Sense Lollipop ROM, I imagine. Fluent has more features than NuSense, but I was using mod pack 001 with NuSense, and now it's up to 006, so that's not really fair, I guess. Though, I do prefer the One M7 boot screens, for the black. That's real nice, though I wonder if "beats audio" could be cut off. Maybe replaced with BoomSound... maybe even replaced by Verizon... but beats audio is Apple now. But between dropping to 440dpi, adding the data traffic monitor, sweep to sleep, and the flashlight toggle, I'm real happy. (That awkward moment when you open a Reddit image gallery viewer and flip through images and the network traffic monitor doesn't bat an eye though... Guess it's not finished.)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Andy thanks for all your hard work and open attitude. As a former mod on another site I know it gets old sometimes answering the same questions.

Are you still planning to upload the Fluent S-Rom at some point ?

Notes:

* The F/C on sense home occurred only once and had no discernible impact (other than the message). I can duplicate the error by attempting to add the HTC Sense home widget to a home screen panel. Logcat of the failure to be attached. It looks like it's permissions.

* Any app that uses the Build class to query android.os.build values from build.prop fails. I believe that this is the root cause for the failure on MultiROM Manager and HTC Sync Manager. What's weird is that getprop can get all of the values - even when run as the app_userID of any of the failing apps (i.e. 'getprop ro.product.brand' returns 'htc').

* The Settings>About>Software information screen shows "HTC Sense version 6.0". I was expecting 7. build.prop?

* The Settings>About>Software information screen shows "Android version 5.0.1". I was expecting 5.0.2. build.prop?

Hey guys unfortunately the two things I was trying to fix for v7.5 was the multirom and HTC sync and seems that's still broken so scratch the v7.5 :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
HTC sync manager did not recognize the phone either.

The problem isn't the values in build.prop. It is that those values aren't even being "seen" by apps.

It is definitely a mystery to me. Anything that gets the brand or model is failing. Including all system info apps I've tried. There are no logs I've been able to find showing any failure though.
