This will be a long one. :)

Yes you may still dirty flash, IF you are on v7.3 - sorry I should have been more clear.

Please do a nand still however.

Google Now we have traced back to the MOD Pack and the color Nav Bar MOD are you using that MOD by chance?

This *should* work on GSM. However I cannot test this.

From my understanding everything should work except data, and *maybe* MMS.

However, Buck has brought to our attention that since this ROM is for CDMA and Verizon, I am using his included Verizon kernel with a Verizon RAM Disk. It's thought that with a GSM Ram disk in the kernel, data should work.

I am going to be bugging Buck to get a test kernel out for this, not sure if he will have time though.

For testing sake. Do you know of any ROMs that DO have working GSM for you?

Try taking the kernel from that ROM and try that kernel and see if it 1) boots, and 2) gives you data.

Hope this all makes sense. :)

Sorry, just to be clear you are taking about v6.0 - the latest LP - not v7.0 and up which is sense 7 and unforrtately if any lag is their, I can't really do much on that end.

For the OTA ROM, that "technically" should perform as well as the stock ROM for you.

As for Google I'd have to flash back to v6.0 to test this as I am on v7.4 currently.

Once you get back to me with which ROM you are on I can furthur assist you, I believe v6.0 but not 100% :)

Yessir absolutely, I actually included in the changelog (v7.1 it's hidden now easy to miss) the .zip for stock Dolby, and also a re-direct to the project era MOD (the Dolby app you find in SkyDragon). Here it is.

In aroma you will want to choose "Generic Dolby"

:)

Any ideas about..? The google now issue, Sorry having a hard time reading this. "I haven't had the google now issue before" you do or do not have the issue?

Anyway, this is because of the Color Nav Bar MOD if you are getting a F/C.

If this in reference to the Google Now issue?

NavBar Color MOD.

Nav Bar Color MOD is to blame for Google F/C

For w.e reason I cannot get nandroids to work starting with v7.2..

Why? I honsetly wish I could figure this one out, however..

IT IS related to the MOD Pack.

So.

I suggest that everyone sets the ROM up exactly how you like it right before you would flash the MOD Pack.

Make a nandroid,

then flash the MOD Pack.

This way you can go right back to the working nand, and all you need to do is flash the MOD Pack and you're in business.

I know it's very annoying, but at least we have a work-around. :)

The Google Now issue, which one? Which ROM?

F/C when trying to open? - If so this is because of the MOD Pack and the Color Nav Bar MOD.

If you prefer working Google Search then unfortunately can't use the Color Nav Bar, this was recently found out and I haven't had time to add note with the download link, my apologies.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
There is a significant variation in the handling of the \system partition on the M9 and this is wrecking havoc with early development of TWRP for the M9. The Fluent 7.x ROMs are ports of the M9 ROM which has not been finalized on all devices, so I'm not altogether surprised there are nandroid issues.

I might mention that andybones' Fluent 6.0 runs fabulously on the M8, and with today's release of HTC Sense Home in the Google Play market, with Fluent 6.0 and HTC Sense Home on my M8 I can get pretty much the same experience as I have on my M9 running "pure" Sense 7.0. And you'll have Nandroids that work, even with TWRP 2.8.6.0.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
Andy,

It is not colornav related.

If I ask Google a question, it shows my question but does not give me any results.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Great post my friend, thanks for the wonderful feedback.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Yes, yes it is the color nav bar mod, on sense 7.

are you on sense 6?

Do you mind not quoting the entire post please.

use the

tags
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
Sense 7.

Just upgraded to 7.4 but it has been happening since 7.2.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Thanks Andy. Heading to recovery to nix that color mod lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Apologize for this issue.

Did you mention this on v7.2 and I missed it?

Now are you having the issue where it does not open at all?

or?..

Yea man sorry about this, Lyapota has stated in his thread it needs to be more "intellectual"

so, I hope it comes back working soon, I love that MOD.

---------

hey guys if you are using the MOD Pack, please hold up on updating the new sense home and the htc lock screen while I MOD then and re-upload them in the mod pack.

if you do update them they will be in data./app and it will mess things up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BobbySteel:
Data on GSM works fine with this rom. I'm on Vodafone UK now and it works fine, even lte
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
I did not I thought it was an issue with Google but then tried it on my wife's phone and realized it was device related.

Google Now opens fine. When I say "OK Google" proceeded with a question it does not show me any results.

If I tell it to call someone or send a text it works fine. Searching for an answer comes up empty. Do you want a screenshot?

As for the updated programs, if we kinda already updated them, what should we do?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Should the HK_BS Switcher be flashed, prior to making the nandroid?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Okay, only issue I'm having now is maybe the network settings? I'm sitting here with four bars of Lte and can't send sms or Mms. I'm using Verizons network.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
No, no need for ss, I certainly trust you friend.

The problem I have though, is that there is no F/C, so a log cat won't really do me any well.

and I just tested running v7.4 asking a question "where is Albany" and I got a result of a Map (see attachment)

Which is a question you have tried that doesn't work that I can try?

The only things I can really ask are the basics which I think you already are aware of since you said you tested on a fresh wipe iirc.

Did you happen to flash the S.ROM currently?

This ROM has files from another RUU, so.

if you do flash this ROM you MUST re-flash the Verizon OTA LP firmware to get back to stock.

are you using any mods themes, etc.. (Xposed)

ummm, kernel? are you using another one besides whats included.

I think that's all I have. :)

oh, about if already updating the apps, just head to play store and uninstall the latest. :)

basically make sure they are not in data/app

Yes you may, set it up 100% as you would before the MOD Pack. :)

umm, again with something like this that has no F/C all I can ask are the basics, and then refer you to do a clean flash..sorry :-/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Geez that Sucks. I did a fresh fresh install. Maybe fresh with no mods then... Thank God I backed up fluent 7.0 before this lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
It is not F/C, just not showing any results.

Try a question like "How much caffeine is in chocolate".

I tried your question and I just get the bar at the top with my question but no results.

I am on the official VZW firmware not SROM.

As for Kernel just what you supplied with the Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] raidflex:
This is exactly what I experience also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
yes it does, but it's not like I want you to have this issue. try toggling airplane mode on/off or a reboot.

thanks for the feedback, strange how it works for some with GSM and not others..

this is interesting thank you for the feedback.

hmm, yea I'm not sure man.

here is what I get when asking the question.

without any force closing I honestly can only suggest a clean wipe. I know it sucks, but I'm out of ideas.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
MOD Pack #003v2

MOD Pack with updated HTC Sense Home (Blinkfeed) and HTC Lock Screen. Please flash this BeforE you update the apps. Flashing this will update them for you. :)

(Make sure to choose the same MODs that you want/had, if you don't pick one it will get removed and overwritten)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Halorl:
What is everyone going with as far as sound mods?

I used HK on 7.1, but now that I'm about to flash 7.4 I've been thinking about trying out the dolby audio.

For those that are using Dolby: the thread on the dolby audio said that there there is some performance / battery life cost. Is it noticeable, or nothing to worry about?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I also was using the Dolby and it is nice, but I find that the HK is the way to go, personally. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cnorm5623:
I cant seem to send or receive MMS from messenger app. works from stock messages app. I clean flashed 7.2 yesterday and it didn't work after that. I flashed the Dolby FC fix zip with MmsService.apk and it still did not work. Then I dirty flashed 7.4, still no luck and I tried flashing the dolby fc fix zip again and still no luck. What can I try next?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry this post I don't understand..

MMS and Dolby you are tossing in together.

MMS messenger app, I have no control over, the stock messaging app works fine, however a 3rd party app I did not create.. nothing I can do except to send you to the Developer for that app.

Dolby..

This is not 100% working.

It's there for options.

I'm confused when you say "I flashed the Dolby FC fix zip with MmsService.apk"

the MmsService.apk comes in the ROM already? Has been included since before v7.1

I will not support dirty flashing of anything except v7.3 to v7.4

too many errors will come.

Clean flash please.

[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]

Im thinking about going back to the 4.4.4 kitkat, what is the lastest rom and modpack i should download?

thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
(If this comes off rude I promise it's not, sometimes it's hard to read the persons attitude in text)

Is my OP really that hard to read? What can I do to make it easier?

If you read the changelog I have in red color what the version of the ROM is based on.

"v6.0

Based on official 4.17.605.5 Verizon OTA.

ROM is plain. Please flash the MOD Pack after booting up ROM, to get all the MODs.

v4.0

Based on the latest OTA Sprint Lollipop 4.20.651.10.

Thread found here. This is v4.0 Verizon port but has all the fixes as v4.0.1 in the Sprint thread.

MOD Pack can be found below. (V4.0) OR you can use the one on the Sprint thread, they are the same link.

If you want the apps that I removed please download this system.zip and you will find the applications.

Then follow this thread here that I created a while back that gives you an empty-flashable.zip Template and explains how to take those apps from the above said system.zip and add them into the empy-template.zip to make your very own .zip to flash the missing apps that you'd like.

Sprint firmware test from aer0zer0

v2.0.1

Based on System Dump 4.16.401.10 HTC M8 Developer Edition

Kept this very clean, fixed all bugs, and then edited the MOD pack.

Please install ROM, set up, then reboot back and install the MOD Pack, or set up after installing MOD Pack, but you must have that reboot after the ROM and before the MOD Pack installation."

As you can see v6.0 is the latest LP ROM.

and then for MOD Pack you just pick the same number as the ROM

Lyapota MOD Pack - Updated for v6.0 - NEW - 3/06/15

012 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537948

Lyapota MOD Pack - Updated for v4.0 - NEW - 2/16/15

012 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934530517

Lyapota MOD Pack - Updated for v2.0.1 - NEW - 2/16/15

012 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934530524

- Yes you may use this on v1.1.3"

As you can see I named the MOD Pack to match that of your ROM version.

To answer your question, v6.0 ROM, and v6.0 MOD Pack.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
So far I am loving 7.4! I have switched back and forth from your roms to others on an almost weekly basis. I want to stick with this one for awhile as it seems like the best Sense 7 rom I've played with. What my only problem with it, and all of your other roms I have used, is that one particular app doesn't work. That app is utorrent remote. I have tried it on several other roms without issue but for whatever reason it crashes as soon as I launch it on one of your roms. I've cleared data and cache, tried restoring data and/or app from titanium backups and none of that has worked for me. I know this isn't your app so you may not have the answer but seeing as I only have the problem while on your roms I thought I would ask here and see what I get.

Thank you for all of your hard work!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
That is extremely strange.

you can confirm no issues on other Sense 7 ROMs?

I have never used or heard of the app, but I just tried and I get the same results and reading the logcat isn't adding up. :confused:

can I ask if you have tried BEFORE the MOD Pack?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I lost my keyboard from popping up. I rebooted and it came back. I would search this thread for the issue, but I don't see the "search thread" on my phone's browser.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
It worked for me on the latest Dragon Slayer ROM just fine, I had this happen on your ROMs as far back as Bone Stock. It's never been that big of a deal in the past but now I use it a lot to help manage my RSS torrent feed. It really is very strange.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
HTC Keyboard was recently updated.

that or you updated the app in the playstore then flashed the MOD Pack.

check to see if you have anything with htc_ime in you data/app folder.

If so let me know.

I will have you delete it from data/app and upload a .zip with the app to be put back into system/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
oh wow, so that's even for Fluent ROM was out huh?

It could be something related to the MODs.

back during bonetock days I included all the MODs in the ROM.

My feeling is maybe the systemui.apk or framework.jar..

but it could be anything.

can you confirm that on a clean flash of v7.4 without flashing anything first thing you do is sign in and download that app and doesn't work?

the app hasn't been updated since 2013, that could also be a problem, just not sure why it's only on my ROM :(.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Follow-Up Regarding TWRP 2.8.6.0 Backup and Restore of Fluent v 7.4

I can confirm that if the HK_BS Switcher is flashed prior to making the nandroid, the backed up Fluent version 7.4 WILL NOT successfully restore after fully wiping and resetting: among other issues the Phone Settings does not restore and it is completed deleted. I can also confirm that the backed up Fluent version 7.4 WILL successfully restore after fully wiping and resetting if the HK_BS Switcher is NOT flashed prior to making the nandroid. The result is that the nandroid backup and restore succeeds with the loss of an HK or BS sound option.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I'm not using a Mod pack, and I'm using Google Keyboard from the Play Store.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
dang, thank you for testing.

I wish I could figure out why it's not working :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
No problem, thank you for trying to figure it out! I did just notice after this clean flash that some notifications seem to have an envelop, like the one for open WiFi networks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
some, or just that 1?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
I just get it for Wi-Fi
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you and sorry about this issue. Looking into it now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
I guess so far just WiFi, I will get all of my apps loaded up again and see if I can find more.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
The Google issue is still unknown?

After a reboot, it's been good. I'll let you know if it happens again.

I'm sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
doesn't sound like a ROM issue, more of a Google issue which seems to be a common thing right now..

even on the stock ROM,.

I'm sorry guys but I can't do anything about Google issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
No need to be sorry.

I appreciate all your help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
can you go into wifi advanced setings and turn off the setting.

this should remove that envelope icon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
thanks man, sorry there has been a lot going on in the thread today.

you are on rom.. v7.4?

and you are on a clean flash?

(just trying to narrow things down)

I am testing the MOD Pack right now and doing a nandroid backup and seeing if it will restore correctly.

if so then we know it is 100% the HK MOD causing issues with nandroid back up

Great find rooted_by_nature!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
I was on 7.3 clean and had the issue.

I dirty flashed 7.4.

When I get home, I will do a clean install again with no restore.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
That works, I will keep an eye out for any other odd notifications. Thank you again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:

or so I hope. :)

cool, thanks for the feedback.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
ok guys, so testing reveals that both the HK MOD AND the MOD Pack are breaking nandroid backups.

I would set the ROM up exactly how you want it before those two, make a nand.

and then u just flash mod pack and the hk when u have to restore the nand.

sucks, but at least we have the work-around

The HK MOD Is Causing Issues With Nandroid, Not The Mod Pack

I successfully backed up and restored Fluent version 7.4 with the MOD Pack, after full wiping and resetting. The HK Mod is causing the issues with nandroid backup, not the MOD Pack.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
It is the MOD Pack though as I just did the same and the Nand wouldn't even boot up..

Please list the MODs that you choose.

Maybe it's a single MOD

there is a mod to turn the screen on for notifications but it's never been on my ROM...

the only way you get notifications to wake screen on my roms is with ambient display through the mod pack..

Here's the logcat.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
although that is the smallest log cat I have ever seen :)

are you using the nav bar mod? I think it is that, #004 fixes the nav bar mod. and hopefully that too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
I doubt it.

The error is a result of calling public static Picture createFromStream (InputStream stream)

The doc at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Picture.html indicates that this method was deprecated in API 18 (Jelly Bean MR2).

The app doesn't crash for me Kit Kat so I assume that I must be using a software canvas in Kit Kat - but I don't know enough about video drivers on Android to suggest how to fix it. The "correct" fix is for uTorrent to update their app to be compatible.
