Clean flash with no mods using TWRP/MultiROM recovery v2.8.6. I'm on Verizon.

It works. I haven't had time yet to do a thorough test but so far it looks good.

MultiROM Manager still doesn't recognize the phone but that's because the phone is identified as an M9 (like you pointed out in an earlier post). For those who want to workaround this you can edit the build.prop and change ro.product.device from htc_himawl to htc_m8wl. This may have unwanted side-effects; thought I'm not aware of any. I did it and MultiROM Manager now loads without complaint.

When/if MultiROM manager adds support for the M9 this may become a problem. I'm not sure if the kernels, recoveries and partition layout are the same between m8 and m9 (I doubt they are). So, be VERY cautious when flashing stuff from MutliROM Manager on this ROM - or any ROM that identifies as a device other than the actual device.

Using TWRP/MultiROM recovery I copied Fluent ROM 7.5 from a primary slot to a secondary slot. I then restored a different ROM to the primary slot. Fluent ROM 7.5 boots up just fine in the secondary slot.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
ahh wasn't aware that multirom didn't support M9 yet, thank you.

there is no bad side effects of changing to M8 (on the ROM side anyway), I just decided to keep it as M9 :)

Paid Message Bug

Andy,

What is the paid message bug?

Thanks,

Rick
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
6 digit sms messages, like this here for bank of america:

https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/text-banking.go

DON'T DO IT!

you've been warned..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
I'm confused what the message bug is. So with stock message app this 6 digit # sends a text to us? Lol sorry I'm lost.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I really don't know other than what I posted above... Never used it, just know it's broke lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] asianrage:
I feel compelled to flash 7.5, but I don't know what's the real differences between the M9 version and all the M8 builds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Honestly not much. Newer apps and unknown device fix as per change log. :)

Make a nand and try if curious
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Is the latest 4/11 Elite kernel in the 7.5 update andy? BTW its running smooth & problem free so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bobbi lim:
Don't tempt me to flash this :crying::crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Good question, Sir.

I accidentally left in 4/04
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bobbi lim:
Time for V7.6? :p
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] natgear2510:
Running super smooth & super fast!!! Thx for the continued Awesome work!!!! Installed last night & haven't noticed any problems!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Prob not until official vzw sense 7..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
So does Google messenger work for anyone else using Mms so far on this build? Failure on my end.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Not sure its ever worked on sense 7. Stock MMS works
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bobbi lim:
Downloading your build now ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Yeah figured that. Weird though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dmullins80:
Has any body had a problem with your phone continuouslygoing back to the northeast screen when trying to restart it. I have to reboot/turn off my phone several times before it works again. Sometime it the next day before it will reboot.. any ideas?

Now I lost my settings apk.. well sometime tell me how to get that back?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sounds like a bad flash.. I suggest a clean wipe and re-installing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dmullins80:
Thanks man ... I didn't mean northeast screen(f'n auto correct ) I meant bootloader screen . I worried I won't be able to to restart my phone. It seems to get worse everytime I try to restart it. I just keeps going back to the bootloader ever time .

The setting apk is in the system/app folder but it won't install.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
yea that doesn't sound very good, I'd actually run the RUU if that were happening to me.

7.5 is friggen amazing . Wowie Verizon here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zwitterion:
Doesn't seem much different then 7.4 to me. Maybe I'm missing something?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattie_49:
I've been on clean rom and haven't ran 7.4 so to me yea, it's nice
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
What your Missing? A positive attitude..

Read the change log. Why complain? I put a lot of work into v7.5..

Really no need for this...

No one makes you use it..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gkersting:
Andy, I have run your roms on 3 different phones over the years and now I'm sad to say that my M8 is being replaced by a different device due to hardware issues. I'm sure that in the next few years, I will have a phone that you are currently working on and will be running another one of your roms. Keep up the good job you are doing cause the majority of us DO appreciate the time and effort that goes into code changes, compiles and testing to make your roms run great.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zwitterion:
You misunderstood. I think Fluent ROM rocks! I just didn't see any visible difference between 7.5 and 7.4, which is totally fine. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a new feature.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Read the change log..

I don't make it for my benefit...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK, thats enough. godhamba, Andy is correct, while a little direct:silly: He is correct.

Users in general should ALWAYS read the OP, when a change has been made:good:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Nice work Andy !! Another solid effort. Its appreciated bud.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dmullins80:
Andy thanks for the advice earlier.. everything works great again. 7.5 is killer. Thank you for your hard work. I ll throw you some bones a little later
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you very much!!

Always appreciate the positive feedback!

Thank you very much as well!

Donations are always very highly appreciated and are used wisely. #BeerFund :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RemnantKing2:
The only problem I am having is with the onscreen buttons on Snapchat.

Normally I'd say its app specific but the problem only arose starting with 7.4. Other than that fluid, and smooth. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thanks for the find, I'll update the bug list when home tmw!

EDIT: just downloaded the app and that is very odd.. did you by chance use mod pack and change nav bar size? could be that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dmullins80:
Andy, Dude, I can't find the button to donate to the beer fund.

Also, I'm still having bootloader problems its not your rom tho. Can you point me to the right thread to get it solved?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dmullins80:
Thank for bring for helping again... I did that earlier.. could it be the kernel making it do it. I changed kernels
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jonathanbailie:
Andy, loving v7.5 so far. Been on it for about 2 days, well since you uploaded it, and i have no bug reports to share. Battery life is better than I was getting on v7.2, which is the last Sense 7 ROM I was on. I clean f'ashed from v6.0, and I am getting about the same battery life so far, about 4.5-5.5 hours of screen on time. Thanks for the hard work you have put into this and all other builds

I do have one question, which is what benefit would be gained by getting the proper Verizon framework up and running? Is there any downside to sticking with the international framework? I haven't noticed any downsides, so I was just curious.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Very possible the kernel.

I found no benefit from the vzw framework personally.

:)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sun_dream:
based stock vzw m9?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Not the framework. I *think* the problem lies in telephony-common.jar but not 100% sure

When I deodexed the vzw m9 framework it wouldn't boot for me.

Do you have a working m9 vzw framework folder you'd be willing to share?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious about sense 7. Since this is based 5.02 does that mean there is a newer firmware than the verizon official 5.01 I need to install prior to using 7.5?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Milly7:
Thanked you by accident. No, you are fine with that firmware. We don't have anything newer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
another question....less technical but, whenever I crank up the volume on the phone (i.e. I'm plugging into the line in in my car) I get a warning about loud/high volumes..........is this disabled? I'm sure it could probably be disabled with xposed, but I'm trying to stay away from xposed (personal choice is all)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I stay away from Xposed as well.

This is very annoying, I haven't looked too hard into removing it, but when I have time I will see if I can turn it off.

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
another question....I'm assuming baked into this rom is the default kernel...aka not elite or any other type of kernel? Kernel information looks like it'd be the default kernel from what I can tell, but I never bothered to look prior to romming lol

edit: nevermind, I didn't see the word 'elite'.....I am blind..its sunday lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry I'll update change log.

Has Bucks 4/04/15 elite kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Yeah this is enabled by default on stock sense roms. It does the same thing over Bluetooth too.

I was never in need of xposed for my needs but I agree with you.

I would stay away too, especially with a ported ROM at least until it's out out of beta.

Or if someone does use it dont come into a ROM devs thread and complain about issues.

I've seen that many times.

Is this an answer to the annoying volume levels are high message we get? I mean I have a pebble and seems like this would get rid of the pebble is connected persistent notification I get.... Hmm
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry I don't understand this post, can you please elaborate further?

EDIT: here are two possible fixes.

Please flash in recovery

Try test 1 first. - *should* work.. found a tutorial on XDA, however some say the method works, others say it doesn't

If it doesn't work please try test 2.

(new method I am trying by editing the smali code, if it doesn't work please boot back to recovery to flash the stock jar here)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] asianrage:
I don't get the message after flashing/using the ModPack's "remove volume notify" option.

I don't have the pebble so I can't help you with the latter part of your message.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reg442:
I'm running 7.5 with no mods or tweaks, running great since flashed on the other day, today I started to loose my keyboard. Stock sense or the google keyboard. I have to restart to get back, I did some looking around and seen nothing of this. What should I do, a fresh flash didn't fix it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
I also experienced the keyboard not popping up when trtjng to type in a text area, to get it back I had to lock/unlock my phone then it would show up
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I believe you are confusing this with "hide volume notify" - which I think hides the volume icon in the status bar?

I don't get the pop up either using Google Play Music, but I didn't select "hide volume notify" - so this leads me to believe it happens with other music players?

nice find though, thank you.

Hard for me to suggest what to do, as with this there is no F/C, so no log for me to look at..

and since you already did a clean flash that would have been my suggestion. :-/

Very strange.

Sorry for this issue, guys

I haven't ran across this yet.

Any other MODs flashed - Xposed or anything like that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reg442:
No mods Or xposed, however I did just realize that I put a theme on the phone yesterday. I will get rid of the theme and let you know tomorrow if that was it. Thanks for the great rom and quick reply.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
High Volume Removal Tests

here are two possible fixes.

Please flash in recovery

Try test 1 first. - *should* work.. found a tutorial on XDA, however some say the method works, others say it doesn't

If it doesn't work please try test 2.

(new method I am trying by editing the smali code, if it doesn't work please boot back to recovery to flash the stock jar here)

Please let me know when/if anyone tries these, I am very curious if they work (esp test 2) :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] asianrage:
'

FWIW, I've always used the option "hide volume notify", and I've not gotten ANY messages regarding volume levels.

Thanks for the ROM. I broke down and did a complete wipe (system/data/cache) and flashed 7.5 and everything seems just fine and trouble free. For now............................. lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you very much, and you are very welcome.

Sorry for this issue, I don't see the theme causing it, but you never know..

Wish I could think of something to suggest. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Nope, a clean flash with the rom no other mods installed & not a fan of xposed for now (don't like that you can't uninstall it right now). The rom is smooth, stable & good battery. I didn't post about it because I thought maybe it was just a glitch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I don't get the msg either, I believe it happens with most likely the stock music player.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry for the inconvenience of the issue, does it happen often?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerryatherton:
I have the keyboard issue also. Happens several times a day. I rapidly tap the input line and it will eventually bring the keyboard up. A dirty Flash will clear it up for a while, bit it always comes back. No big deal, great rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
is this in certain apps have you noticed, or pretty much anytime using the keyboard. (also happen to know if it's just the HTC keyboard or Google as well, I use Google)

I'm surprised I haven't ran into this (yet)

- I wonder if it's related to the code for the keyboard volume cursor MOD - I left it in the framework.jar in the stock ROM as I am lazy, and assume everyone flashes the MOD Pack. However, here is a stock framework.jar with the code removed. (uploading)

Also, can you guys flash the MOD Pack and see if the problem persists, if the above doesn't fix the issue, please. (it's the only thing I can think of that I have done differently)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:

Any one else having issues with TuneIn locking up (both free version and pro)? This is the only lollipop ROM that it locks up on, I believe, so not sure where to go with the issue. I notified TuneIn, too.

Absolutely LOVE the ROM, though. The TuneIn app issues, aside. :)

edit: Also, if you swipe2sleep, the next time you turn on the phone it open directly to recent apps. Weird.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfobrien:
Well said. Don't feel unappreciated. Unfortunately allot of people have the mentality of a goat and don't appreciate what you Devs do for this community and have the "you owe me" everything attitude.

Just my two cents worth after being around here for awhile. Keep up the good work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
thanks for the feedback, I will look into these issues.

you can confirm that the issues aren't present on santods rom?

S2S, hmmm, that's a very strange issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thanks man! Your understanding is very appreciated.

I wasn't trying to be rude and I tried posting as polite as possible, but just because I say I'm working on a ROM and it isn't up THAT night, I get crap for it. It is coming. but I run into snags, this is a port, and ppl don't understand this.

this is NOT VZW base ROM guys...

bugs will be present.

I am doing my very best (I feel I am one of the MOST attentive DEVs to his threads), but yes sometimes I get frustrated, and that post was one of frustration.

I do this for fun.

I don't get paid
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
(it's weird as I just tested and s2s works fine for me?)

hey for s2s maybe you are just hitting the recent key by accident?

but i doubt it but I forgot to post this..

at ANY time you can edit the system/ect/init.d/00FluentROM

#Sweep 2 Sleep

# s2s_switch=1 -> sweep right

# s2s_switch=2 -> sweep left

# s2s_switch=3 -> sweep both

insmod /system/lib/modules/s2s_mod.ko s2s_switch=3

you see the bold red 3?

and the options above, choose what you want. I default it to both. but if you want to sleep just right or left, use the 1, or 2. :)

maybe try this?

hey guys feel free to experiene with DigitalHigh's firmware and this ROM. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Doesn't happen all the time, seams to only happen if you start your right to left sweep on the recent a button. I am still on santods ROM with the mod from lyapota. It is most definitely not a Rom issue, it would have to be in the s2s_mod.ko. I had this on 4.4.4 as well using different kernels. Only kernel it did not happen with was using the hypernova from mastash. I think he had the s2s implemented differently.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:

did tunein come stock in the ROM?

if so try deleteing it from system and then downloading from playstore.

sorry idk what tuneis is
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
For sweep to sleep go left to right. No more recent on wake. That was annoying. Fortunately left to right doesn't bank out on wake.

Andy, TuneIn is a radio app. Terrestrial radio piped online. Raised on California, living in North Carolina, I can listen to my hometown classic rock station with it.

Also, I hate to ask, but... Why is Twitter bundled in this ROM? Did HTC do that? Does anyone use Twitter anymore?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerryatherton:
First noticed in Chrome. I tried the HTC browser and still had it. Also had it in GMAIL and XDA premium. I'm on the phone now and can't make it happen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
The keyboard issue was happening to me using the stock HTC keyboard in the HTC Messages app & Chrome
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you for the feedback.

Very strange indeed, I went into every app and kept trying to replicate it but can't :confused:

Can you guys with this issue please flash this framework.jar with the keyboard volume cursor smali code removed - (may fix it?)

If not, please flash the MOD Pack, as that is the only thing I can think of I have done differently and I haven't come across this (yet)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] muffnman:
From what I understand, this new version of the ROM displays it as an M9, does that mean that Google Play music will see this as a new device to authenticate? Just curious, as one who hasn't loaded it up yet (still on 7.4, had a busy weekend).

Thanks for all your efforts and hard work!

My current problem is that Im having really small text and images in some applications. It doesnt happen in 7.4 and ive tried wiping, etc. but no matter what It always happens in 7.5 , not sure why?
