v7.6-test1

Was just messin' around today and decided I'd give a go at another Sense 7 port, based off the latest versions of the M8 and M9.

It should boot no issues, but curious as to what type of F/C it will run into and what not, if you are up for testing, please make a nand and give it a flash and let me know how it goes. :cool:

Can anyone confirm visual voicemail working on latest.

Sorry just saw this.

I can't confirm or deny as I don't use it, I'll try flashing back the apk since I removed it and try it, but hopefully someone who does use it can chime in.

It's stock based ROM - it should work.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thanks for trying! Well it's a start I suppose, once I have some time, maybe I can get it fully booting and close to what v7.5 is like. Need to dive back into the porting world, been awhile lol.

I appreciate you flashing however. :good:

dark header and QS panel

Nothing special just like these colors - thought I'd share.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
dark header

One more. A bit more stock-like.

Also fixes the position of the lock icon to fit a litter better.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WhotahnHTC:
Not a huge issue but flashing this header color change reverted percent battery back to stock and put the clock back on the right hand side. Looks great though! May flash mid pack and recenter clock and see if this sticks.

Nope. Re flashing mod pack reverts colored header back to stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
put the darkheader systemui.apk in place of the one of the mod pack and then flash the mod pack :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WhotahnHTC:

I installed 6.1 and after fully booting I get forced closed on system ui, missing nav bar/nav keys, under file manager there is nothing on local drive.

I am on newest firmware. I always do a clean install with wiping cache/dalvik.

So I did a full wipe and clean installed a back up of stock 4.4.4. And reflashed your 6.1 and 6.1.1 patch. And everything seems to be working, except I missing something ui stuff (ie: no power button on status bar notification header, no power menu, etc...) or are these not part of 6.1.1...

Any ideas...

Edit: I am gonna ruu the new firmware again and flash the debloted stock... If no problems, I am going to stay on that Rom... Till I get the new nexus 5p or Xperia z4v...

Thanks..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
If something is going on with your files on your phone that has 0% to do with the ROM and 100% with your personal device.

If an RUU fixes it, it will be fixed for you on whatever ROM you choose thus forward. If RUU doesn't fix it then their may be an issue with your phone, sorry.

And do my mean Nexus 6p, or Nexus 5x? Their is no 5p ;)

I've always wanted a Nexus device, I'm considering the 5x as the 6p is too large.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GideonMouth:
Or open a terminal emulator or adb shell and run

su

That might straighten it out
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Stam2000:
6p has better features and this would make my next phone purchase much easier lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I agree, I'd love to get the 6P as well but 5.7inch is too large for me. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Stam2000:
Not used to handling something that big huh? Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Ha-ha. No but for real, I just can't understand a "phone" being so large. After all it is a phone. 5.7inch isnt too bad, but even the m8/m9 doesn't fit in my pockets that well, 5.2inch I think would be the largest I'd use. Although not a huge LG guy, it is a Nexus, and the Nexus 5 was a pretty good phone so for the price I could see myself ditching the m9 for the 5x. I'll still have the $100 uh oh towards the m10 that I hope I'll love. If not I'll be buying and selling it to get that $100. But this won't be for a little while, unless m8 gets marshmallow soon (long shot) lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WhotahnHTC:

Restored my pictures folder. Should it have restored the other media folders like music... Is there also a way to restore the Android folder...

VVM Working?

Can anyone confirm the VVM working on 6.1.1?

I need to switch back to 6.1.1 from 7.5 because my phone is really acting up lately. But I use the VVM so I have not changed yet.

I read the questions a few pages back, but did not see anyone confirm and I know that Andy does not use it.

Thanks!

No soup... Does not work
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scblacksunshine:
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. I flash 6.1 then the patch, HK mod then Mod pack. Now it seems like every time I restart the phone, it takes a long time and every time, certain groups of apps will optimize every time. I update them in Playstore, then when I restart the phone again, it's if none of the app was updated. Case in point, I have Asphalt 8 installed before, every time I restart it will ask to have the app update again in playstore. Also tried to delete the app and when I restart nothing , it's there again waiting to be updated. Anyone know what's causing this? Is my only hope is to do a clean install?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll look into it further.

Seems an issue in data/apps. Been covered numerous times. Please read the 2nd Q&A of the FAQ.

Just updated from 7.4>6.1.1 with mod pack. Updated firmware, twrp per instructions on first page

When on wifi I noticed wifi icon will periodically disappear and the 4G icon will replace it. Almost like the phone is losing wifi connection and going back to service data. I double checked the firmware in phone settings and they match the linked post. Any ideas what might cause this?

Everything else smooth.. Thank you!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
The ROM is stock in the sense of any WiFi signal reception things. My guess, xposed or something like that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WhotahnHTC:
Haven't had that issue at all. Running ROM w/ mod pack w/ dark header. No exposed or custom kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Trantzz:
No, nothing else flashed or added.

I just ran a test using wifi to listen to ESPN using the tune in radio app. The stream would restart every 60-90 seconds. Using 4G it has not stopped once.

Any suggestions at all or should I wipe and reflash?

The only reason I was using that screen was because it was posted on the front page of your firmware/rom thread. I use to check it via fastboot when Tigerstown used to post the updated firmware. I will use you method and double check now.

VVM Media Type not supported

I have made the jourey to Andy's awesome v6.11 from his great 7.5.

I updated the firmware 4.17.605.9 Modified Firmware. I hope this was the correct one?

Flashed 6.1 , booted fully, loaded info, then flashed 6.1.1 patch

Everything is now awesome, Battery, speed, etc

Except VVM is not working. Was not working same on 7.5 Same error (Media not supported?)

Can anyone offer help to make this usable?

I realize tht this is based on stock Sense 6 rom, so If I were to take files and make a zip and flash it, could it work?

What files need to be zipped? Andy was awesome enough to make a fix for 7.5VVM

Can anyone LMK what files to play with?

I may be able to extract them from santod040 4.17.605.9_M8_WL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Full with his permission of course?

Thanks for any help???
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
Strange question and the answer is probably not but......Do I HAVE to install the mod pack in order for full functionality of this rom or is the mod pack actually optional? I tried running rooted stock but I just couldn't stand it (the wifi nags alone bug the daylights out of me)

Thanks for any heads up in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Mod pack = 100% optional.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
ty andy! one last question. Any way to still have auto rotate on (to allow other apps to rotate) but LOCK the homescreen into portrait (like how it normally acts)? Can't remember if the default changed when I installed the mod pack or not
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I think that's a mod in the mod pack, I'll have to look. If not give me a bit I'll post you a .zip go remove the home screen rotation. (You can re-flash mod pack anytime to change mods)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Excessiveidling:
Yea, appears to be in the mod pack (which I did not flash). I'm running this rom fine no problems (still burning it in though). Main reason for the 'upgrade' is I was running cleanrom 4 (or whichever was scrosler's last one for m8) and wanted to be sure to be stagefright patched. I figure I was due for a good fresh restart too. I keep looking at verizon for a new phone but quite honestly the htc one m8 still has em all beat in my book (won't go back to samsung as I had texting issues with them before(tried many different apps and troubleshooting)). As to all of the developers ty for being a part of this community and continuing to make our phones better and bring their full potential to the table :)

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded from 7.5 to 6.1.1 which is awesome BTW.

Anyway - I can't use any root explorer or terminal to view main storage. I get permission denied for /storage/emulated/0 or any link to there. If I manually CD into /storage/emulated/0/Download I can see and have R/W to all my downloads but I can't see any of the structure above that.

Any ideas?

Edit: Something wrong with the file system. Fixed it by factory reset in hboot and full wipe of data in recovery and reflash. All good now :)

[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]. So I clean flashed 7.5 and updated everything through the PS. I then flashed Lyapotas MOD #14 for 7.5. For some reason it gets stuck on "starting apps" and won't boot any further. Hoping you can help with this one. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
Go to Recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik, if that doesn't work you could try to flash the mod pack but you will likely have to wipe and flash the ROM again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LibertyMonger:
Does anyone know of a kernel we can use with this ROM? I have tried a couple ElementalX kernels but no luck. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
Hey Andy, what would you recommend as the best sense based rom for battery life, kernel etc. I don't really care what version of sense or Android it is, along as I can get the longest out of my phone. I'm assuming it may be this rom right here, as it has shown time and time agian to offer great sot.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]

I was wondering which version you prefer. I was thinking about flashing 7.5, but 6.1 also caught my eye. I just wanted your input on which one runs fairer. Thanks alot!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Depends,

v7.5= sense 7 port

V6.1 = latest sense 6 OTA

The port may have some bug but runs very well, sense 6 should be bug free.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BAttitude7689:
How do I uninstall all the bloatware with this Rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
Thanks for the advice, 6.1 runs awesome. Quick question, Is lollipops old memory management bug in this rom. I've been on 5.1 so long I'm not sure whether this rom was affected. I think there's an closed module which fixes it if there is indeed the problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Yes. The only method to fix it. Run RUU, do factory reset.

Firmware doesn't wipe device, RUU does. Factory reset will wipe ROM but not any storage.

A root explorer type app...

If it's in LP, its in all LP ROMs.

The Xposed module should hopefully help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hand full of Peter:
Duplicate Files in /data/app Folder

Hi Andy,

I just wanted to let you know that the duplicate files in the /data/app folder on internal storage has occurred again.

It happened to me on 7.5. I followed the instructions from page 153 (post 1522) in this thread, and took care of it.

Now I am running a clean install ver 6.1.1 with patch and no mod packs. I had wiped everything including internal storage before install.

My biggest issue now is that none my file manager programs can view the internal memory card files? (I have es file explorer, file manager, and root browser)

The only way that I can see the files in /data/app folder is by using file manager in TWRP and that only allows a one at a time delete.

ANY IDEAS?

The ownership of the data/app folder in internal storage says ROOT with all permissions checked.

This just happened last night with a slowing response time, I rebooted, extremely long startup, followed by android is upgrading 88 files, and now internal storage is full.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
Andy, do you still anticipate releasing a version of FluentROM for the M8 based on Marshmellow and Sense7 after the Verizon OTA gets released?

It's been very quiet in here for weeks and I'm just wondering if you've moved on (which is entirely your right to do so) or just biding time.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tdubl:
Hi guys, just clean flashed this the other day and am running into a couple of issues. I am on the newest firmware running 6.1 of this rom. Not 6.1.1. I'm running the modpack for 6.1.1 but the problem was the same before I flashed the modpack. First problem is if I flash the 6.1.1 patch from 6.1, my play store is gone on my phone. I could go get the apk but thought that was odd. The bigger issue I'm running into is I can't get wifi stability. I haven'd had this problem before. I'll connect to my home wifi 5ghz and it'll connect just fine. After sitting for a while it'll be back on 4G and has lost the connection to my router. I can go toggle wifi on and off which takes a long time, and it'll come back on and connect back to my wifi. Is there a fix for this, or anyone else running into this problem? So far I've tried flashing (always clean) 6.1 only no modpack, 6.1 with the modpack (what I'm currently on) and then flashing the 6.1.1 patch which always results in losing my playstore app. I've reflashed clean three times for all scenarios and get the same wifi problems everytime. Any suggestions? The rom is awesome and I'd like to continue to use it.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry to hear of these issues. 6.1.1 isn't really a necessity, it was just to update all playstore apps but I'm sure there are many more since I released that and a 6.1.2 patch would be helpful when I have the time. (But can't figure out why playstore would be removed :confused: )

I would stick with flashing 6.1 then updating apps and I can help you with how to move them into system if wanted (this isn't needed, but I like to keep all system apps in system when they get updated.

As for the connectivity issues, this ROM is stock so shouldn't be having these issues, if others chime in with the same perhaps something is going on I overlooked, but for this issue I would personally do a factory reset from the stock recovery (must be from the stock recovery), this will fix connectivity issues and is the only proven method of doing so as it resets the NV partitions (you will see on the screen it is doing this), just need to do a backup of everything so can be a PITA, but 100% worth it if fixes the issue. Are you coming from GPE ROM or anything?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tdubl:
Oh no need to apologize :) I flashed the newest Nusense rom with marshmallow before this one and I was having various freezes and wifi battery drain where'd I'd have to reset the phone via the three button method. Not sure why I was having issues but figured it could be do to not having an official marshmallow release from verizon, so I thought I'd come try this out since it's a Lollipop rom and all is well besides the wifi for me. Before either of those roms I was on cleanrom which was great for the longest time but then had an itch to try something else ;) If I factory reset I don't lose root correct? Just wipes my internal memory? That shouldn't be an issue and can do so later tonight. Just a bummer because everything else is perfect with this rom. Thanks for your help, much appreciated
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Root comes in the ROM. You are S-OFF (Security Off) which can only be put back to S-ON by a cmd you'd have to run. :)

But def make sure to backup internal
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tdubl:
Ok, I forgot to ask since I've never had to do it before, so I have to flash stock recovery first since I'm using twrp? If so can i use the one in Santod's stock rom forum. Thanks, I feel like a big dummy asking, but since I've never had to do a factory reset from stock recovery I'm just making sure i understand how. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Yea no question is dumb, it's how we learn. :)

You can flash any stock recovery made for Verizon m8 then boot to stock recovery and choose factory reset.

Hi Andy, so flashed back stock recovery, factory reset and then reflashed this Rom. Thought I was in the clear as WiFi stayed on and connected for a few hours. Went to pick up my phone again and WiFi had lost connection. I'm stumped
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
I posted in the thread "Verizon HTC One (M8) Marshmallow OTA arriving on 3/7!" in the "Verizon One (M8) General" section about my phone trying to download the MM update. As I stated there, I'm S-OFF and running Andy's FluentROM and TWRP.

I didn't think a phone with a custom recovery would download an OTA.

I went ahead and re-hosted the SROM firmware in the instructions in the OP.

So you have the 2 LP firmware to test, and also KK to get you back on stock.

Try them out, see what works best for you..

Maybe even try both ROMs, they both I want you to flash the MOD Pack on in 2nd post after you install (I will cook in MODs for the next release but I wanted to try this, but I am going back to cooking them in).

anyway. I personally run the SROM right now with Bucks latest kernel.

his kernels will be included in ALL my ROMs going forward..

want the stock kernel from before source? (RLS1) I added into add-ons.

enjoy guys!
