Anytime I go into Settings-->Personalize-->Change/Edit Theme...it always asks me to sign into a HTC account to use any themes. I can change accent colors but whatever I do to "sign in" via Facebook, Google+ OR a HTC account it keeps coming up with the same error. Therefore, I cannot change themes. This is such a minor issue that it's whatever....but maybe HTC needs to look into this prior releasing the M9 in less than 48 hours (officially).

@andybones -- also, nothing recognizes my phone as the HTC One M8. Just "unknown"

This is weird because MultiROM can't recognize the device. This was as clean an install as possible with a few apps added on from the Store. Any thoughts my fellow fellows?

Sent from my VZW M8 that has yet to see a day warmer than 50°F in 6+ months.

Re: multirom. Known issue on Sense 7 ports. Search thread for more info. 27 hits searching thread. Lots of info there. ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mayimbe007:
Thanks for posting this fix this was annoying the heck out of me. I ended up deleting all the duplicate folders and keeping the latest one (in /data/app). After doing this and setting the permissions on the directory the phone stopped the "Android is updating" messages on boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
Just some random input:

Doing the cleanest install on Multi-rom possible is not a clean install. If you are using multi-rom don't post any bugs if you cannot replicate the issue on a true clean install.

Anyone having battery issues, go into settings/power/battery usage. If you see media in there anywhere, your media scanner could be constantly scanning for new data. I've personally have had this issue on different roms on different devices. This works for me: Download and extract this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553739

Put the 2 files (media.sh and disablemedia.sh) in the root of your sdcard. Open your favorite terminal emulator and type:

su

cd sdcard

sh disablemedia.sh

That will disable the scanner. To manually scan for new media type:

su

cd sdcard

sh media.sh

This always seems to be the battery issue on every device I've had since the Eris. Hope this helps.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
There's a problem in the framework that causes the phone to be unknown to some apps. I made a MultiROM Manager apk that accomodates this bug. You can find it here.

My battery life on the Sense 7 variants of FluentROM has been like yours. About 3-ish hours of screen on time, throughout a 14-16 hour day. I've since switched back to the Sense 6 version (V6.0) and my battery life is back to what it was. I can usually get 5 hours of SOT with it.

Sense 7 still gets me through a work day easily, though, so I may just switch back to it, especially when V7.5 is released, which is based on an official Verizon M9 dump. Maybe that will be more optimized for our devices as far as battery goes. We will see, looking forward to trying it out again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Those having bad battery life did you guys let the battery calibrate appropriately on Sense 7?

Since it is far different from Sense 6 a few full charge and discharges are necessary.

I personally have not gotten less than 4.5-5 hours screen on time.

Will post updated screen shots tmw but here is what I'm seeing right now.

(The power saver in settings and having data turn off while phone is asleep, along with debloating has really boosted my time)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gemro311:
Suggest you download the app APP OPS by Lars Team.. it's an App where you direct which Apps to not automatically startup , but also deny it permissions , such as stay wake, use location, use contacts etc. Use at your own risk , and realize that certain apps need to use certain permissions.

Once you download, you will be required to open , will install into systems and reboot..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
App ops is built into settings.apk from mod pack :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jonathanbailie:
Yes, I have let the ROM sit for a while; a week or so, actually. The last Sense 7 ROM I left off with was V7.2. I haven't tried the latest, but I was on 7.2 for about a week and a half. It just doesn't seem to have the battery life of the official 6.0 Verizon ROM. I can get almost 2 more hours of screen on time with your 6.0 than I can with any 7.x ROM. I will try your 7.5 when it is uploaded though. I really like the cosmetic changes of Sense 7.

Andy,

I finally found a free hour to properly nandroid and back up my perfectly functioning Bonestock setup. I flashed the new firmware, updated TWRP and 7.4 this morning and could not be happier. I am a pretty low maintenance when it comes to features so as long as hotspot works I am a happy camper.

I have noticed the battery drain a bit faster but I am also screwing with stuff a lot.

I really want to try the HK mod. I made a nandroid and will hold my breath and flash the mod plus the mod pack ( I believe you need both? ).

Andy, I hope you did indeed take a break and don't read this for a week. Just know the is a random 40 year old dad in update New York that tries to tinker with stuff I don't understand and you make things incredibly easy. Thank you!

I see your quotes and posts you're not ignored but I am on break for awhile. I have to take a break before I completey lose interest in continuing doing this.

I do apologize for the issues but I am one person and am trying my best.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RemnantKing2:
There's no reason to get discouraged, its just that other people have to understand that this isn't an m8 Sense 7, and until we get an official Sense 7 update to our m8's there's always going to be issues. You'll either have to deal with these issues until that happens, or you gotta move on to another ROM that doesn't have that specific issue. And to be quite honest, there isn't a bug free Sense 7 ROM from what I've seen so far, soooo yeah

tl;dr You want the latest and greatest, then you gotta put up with bugs and issues.

v7.4 battery life

My current day to day battery life for v7.4

Bucks included kernel.

5.5 hours Screen on time. I'll take it. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jonathanbailie:
Looks good, I'm going to try that and see how it works. That's about the same as I'm getting on your 6.0.

And don't get discouraged. We all love the work you do here. We've opted to go with your ROM, and have ditched the factory software. Considering the amount of money, time, and manpower HTC and Google have put into these ROMs, that's saying something. Even your beta stuff has been daily driver material. I haven't posted much in this thread, but that's only because there's not much to report, which is a good thing.

You've got a solid ROM here, and we love it, otherwise we'd be somewhere else. You're also a friendly, respectful, and responsive Dev, which makes us look past any bugs we come across and stick with the builds, more so than any other ROM I've come across.

In any case, you deserve a little time away ;)]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
Here's my battery life after today.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Trantzz:
ROM is running fantastic. Battery life has not been an issue once I stopped tinkering with everything.

One thing I have noticed; charging the device seems to take longer ( I have not run scientific tests just a feeling). I am not talking about getting the " slow charging" message either. I am talking about being plugged in with the screen off.

I use my phone at the gym every morning and stream ESPN radio while I work out. I usually get to the office with around 60% battery left. Normally this recharges in about an hour. On 7.4 it is taking 3-4 hours. Same exact charger I have been using for years.

Anyone else seeing this? Not a deal breaker by any stretch. I have an office job so I can recharge all day if needed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
That's weird, because last night I was down to about 10%, put it on the charger, and a half hour later, I was surprised to see it was already at 49%.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Trantzz:
That's the kind of charging results I am used to seeing. That's why I am asking.

Glad you are seeing typical results.

Please don't ak for an ETA, or any updates/details or anything... please.

It will come with time.

But rest assured, things are looking good.

now that the framework is deodexed I can use the full M9 framework. This should fix HTC Sync and Multi ROM issues, and a fresh M9 dump to work with.

MMS Issue

When sending a text to a local radio station using short code 35270 (KFGO in ND) I get a message "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped", then a popup Preparing SIM Card...

When sending to this number for the first time, you receive a popup message that warns that text message rates may apply or something due to it being an automated service. This popup never shows up, so I'm thinking that may be the issue.

The message never sends either.

I've never done a logcat, so hopefully this is something that can be used. I started logcat, then tried sending the message.

I'm on 7.4 with the latest firmware, and have not flashed any mod packs. Clean flashed, and came from a fresh RUU. Same results whether Wi-Fi is on or off.

Not related, but I had a front camera issues last week, and found that it was a hardware issue, nothing related to this ROM.

There is a seller on ebay selling those same ones think was $16.00 with free shipping which the one on amazon to get free shipping you have to buy $35 of stuff that is all from amazon directly and not stuff from any other amazon seller, so actually the $16 with actual free shipping on ebay would be cheapest for most as most wont be buying $20 in more stuff that is a direct purchase with amazon and not just any amazon purchase.

Sorry dont have the link just search on ebay with that brand name and 2.0 charger.

Dumb question does your factory htc 2.0 charger you got with your m8 not work good ? Mine have always charged fast not sure why anyone needs to buy a different charger than the oem htc 2.0 m8 came with ?

Is the stock oem m8 charger not 2.0 ? I know they the chargers went longer with the m8 over m7 so is the regular m8 charger not 2.0 pic looks the same ?

I swapped out the charger I have been using ( literally since my Driod X) with a spare Samsung ( Nexus) brick and monoprice 6ft usb cord. Charging results are back to normal.

For whatever reason the old charger is not charging as fast on 7.4. No idea why and I could care less.

from stock 4.4.2 to Lollipop Rom

Hey guys,

I'm pretty confused when it comes to flashing Lollipop roms. Currently my m8 is on stock 4.4.2 ROM but i do have S-OFF and CWM bootloader. My question is: if I want to flash this Fluent ROM, do I need to have get stock 5.0.1, then flash the ROM? Or do I just flash the ROM immediately from the bootloader on 4.4.2?

If i need 5.0.1, how do I properly flash it since I wouldn't be able to update it through the OTA?

Sorry if this questions been asked before

Question (Not for Andy who is on Break)

Do any of you notice a slowing down of the ROM, that is fixed by clearing apps out of memory? I see the classic symptoms of a memory leak/poor memory management, and am wondering if it is specific to my setup (though I haven't even flash Lyapota's MOD pack), Fluent ROM, or to Lollipop in general.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
v7.5 is making progress..

VZW M9 1.33.605.15 apps/priv-apps

framework is 5.0.2 from v7.4 - 1.32.401.15 (international ROM) EXCEPT framework-res.apk.. that is the only 5.0.1 file in the ROM. This is the reason the ROM was saying unknown for everything - see attached.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jonathanbailie:
You need to grab the 5.0 firmware from Andy's original post. He has linked to it there. You'll need to flash that from your boot loader before flashing any of these 5.0.x ROMs. Place it in the root of your external SD card and rename it 0P6BIMG.zip, and the boot loader will automatically detect it and ask if you want to flash. Make sure you are on this firmware before you flash anything lollipop.

Also, why are you still on 4.4.2? Because you're rooted with a custom recovery? You can use an RUU file to return to stock software, then you'll be able to get to 5.0 from the Verizon OTAs. An RUU will replace your recovery and give you an unrooted, stock ROM to work with.

7.5 *may* be coming today..

going to run it for a bit and make sure all is well.

if so it'll be uploaded by the afternoon

Although I haven't tested HTC Sync nor the Multi-ROM - they *should* work since the ROM is now seen as the HTC One M9 running the latest VZW 1.33.605.15 base.

ROM is 5.0.2 all apps/priv apps come from the VZW base, the framework however isn't working on the M8 - it comes odexed, and when deodexing it, it just doesn't work on the M8.

So, I left the current framework from the INTL 1.32.401.15 base as it's been working great.

I had to change out the framework-res.apk and framework.jar to Android 5.0.1 to fix the unknown device issues.

Interruptions still work.

the only bug I *believe* should be the paid msg f/c

still working on that one.

I'm noticing this now. I've put on CleanROM the past few days and it seems to be gone. Not sure how to best troubleshoot but the sluggishness was quite high. Daily reboots were required.

Interestingly, it seems to manifest worse when on wifi. On 3g/4g it wasn't an issue, but whenever first on wifi it's particularly bad. Note that nothing else was set to sync on wifi so it's not like an app is doing a ton of background sync.
