[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scramjet:
Thanks for all the suggestions guys - but I did it the easy way. I had to send in my phone for service anyway (dirty speakers and cameras) and when the phone was returned to me, I got KitKat 3.32.707.9 back. Excellent.

I managed to find a fix for this constant, repeated vibration issue - it's actually in Accessibility, and also exists in KitKat, but is switched off. The option is called 'Notification reminder'; switch it off and profit.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike964:
Worse battery life

Hello,

How can I reflash the stock sense Lollipop rom? I searched about it on google and forums, haven't found something relevant to my case. I got the rom package from HTC Dev website. Now I am running stock sense lollipop 5.0.1. The reason why I want to do this is because the battery life is bad after the update. A lot of people say that their battery life improved after the OTA with 20-25%. MIne didn't . I tried everything: power it off and reboot it after several seconds, 2 factory resets and deleted cache 2 times. I don't know what else to do. If reflashing doesn't solve the problem I want to downgrade to 4.4.4. Two animations, 3 design updates and 4 new features are not worth dumping the battery like that.

Phone is bootloader unlocked and s-on. No root. Everything stock.

Before lollipop, with 4.4.4 I could have location on with battery saving setting, power saver off, auto brightness, 3g and Wi-Fi on all day and every app I could think of.

During the night time I would activate power saver and turn off Wi-Fi and 3g (just the phone on). The battery would last around 1 day and 5 to 10 hours until I got to 35-40 percent. Medium to intense use.

On Lollipop things are not so good. The battery on the same setup and usage is around 19 hours or less. And I can see it dropping while using the phone.

Facebook apps are NOT guilty, or any other app for that matter. I kept the phone factory state for 2 days. Same battery drainage. It's more than a week now since I installed the update.

I'm open for suggestions and solutions. On 4.4.4 it used to be the best phone out there for me.

Thanks and sorry for the lengthy post

So I'm s-off and unlocked but I'm tired of all the roms I've tried them all on 4.4!

Now to be honest I've tried some of the lollipop Roms but they take like 30mins to boot as I'm still on kit Kat firmware but some do Boot and run Fine it's just I want more options but I've been scared to upgrade my firmware because I don't want to be stuck there if I don't like it after testing ??? So once again I am T-Mobile HTC one m8 Unlocked Boot loader and S-off

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogsephine:
When you say it's a cake walk roughly how long should it take to take a stock HTC M8 and downgrade it to Kit Kat? My girlfriend's M8 is on Lollipop and I want to take my old M8 (also on Lollipop) and downgrade it to Kit Kat then restore the backup from her phone to the one I downgrade. I haven't really rooted / flashed Android in about 3 or 4 years now so this all kind of seems new to me again. :D

My computers are a MacBook Pro with XP (Parallels) and iMac with Windows 7.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Whether its a "cakewalk" is relative to various factors. The comment by xunholyx that its a cakewalk was in response to a specific user's question about downgrading firmware (

not the ROM

, but hboot, radio, etc.) to a user who knew what that meant (and most likely how to do it) and conditional upon having s-off.

How easy (or not) it is in your case depends on some information you haven't provided:

1) What CID (carrier version) M8 do you have?

2) What is your intent in "downgrading"? If you just want to be on a KitKat ROM, its not that hard to unlock the bootloader, load custom recovery, and flash a KitKat ROM (which should still work with LP firmware). Although I would still plan for a few hours to learn the process properly and perform the steps.

But if you want

full stock

Kitkat (including firmware), it gets significantly more complicated (and expensive) as you need s-off, which costs $25 by sunshine method. Even then, you will need to do some steps to disable updates, as the phone will likely keep bugging you to OTA up to Lollipop once you downgrading to full stock KitKat.

Either way, do you have a good reason to spend the time and effort to do either of the above? I don't see a reason (although of course I do not know your specific circumstances) to spend the time, and especially not the $25 just to downgrade to an OS version that has been obsolete for some time (and we will soon be moving onto Marshmallow).

It's a known bug.

You can do either of the following.

1. Reboot (Minimus chances that this will fix it)

2. Clean install ROM (Maximus chances and known workaround)

A clean install should also fix "themes not being showed in the themes section" issue.

the way it should be done looks like this:

Thanks for your prompt response... It means that all WM6 (Wizard Mobile 6) roms are a Windows Mobile 5 customization, or aren't they?

So, what's the big deal on changing from your original rom to an unknown version when you can install all apps included in these roms without risk?

At least, in your opinion, which is the best, most stable, faster and tools-rich rom out there for an HTC Wizard G4 ? Faria? X-Plore? Love? mUn? other?

I'm asking this because I tested almost all roms here, and cannot say that there is a real difference (except for the make-up details) from one to another... Maybe as an expert you can help me to take the right decision on what's the best Rom to flash...

In all honesty, they are diffrent, just not a M$ release. They are not WM5 OS files. Now as for the best, it depends on what you like. Some like my Vanilla, slot of people like Xplore. It all really depends on what you are going to use it for.

I'm very proud to talk with a ROM creator (seriously). So tell me more about your vanilla ROM... I tested the latest (I think) version of this rom. It was really nice but it doesn't have some tools/programs than others have.

I'm looking for a fast ROM that contains useful teaks and tools to manage the phone as easier as possible.

I use my phone as a mobile office (MMS and SMS are critical to me, good reception at call time, Word, Excel and PDF viewer are critical too, connect to WiFi networks, ActiveSync) and sometimes (specially in airports while waiting for a flight) as a fun center.

Rarely I browse the Internet or use my phone as MP3 player or movie player.

Sounds like I can use the WM5 that came with my phone but I found it SOOooo slow for every task I do.

based on these expectations, what do you think is the best rom for me?

I have the need to disable just a single app from updating from Google Playstore. On my Galaxy S4 I pull up my apps in Google Playstore, select an app, then hit the lower left button (menu button) and an option comes up to select/unselect auto-update. But on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4, that button doesn't work the same way, and nothing comes up. I also tried using Xposed Additions to program that button to a single press button that triggers menu, but that doesn't seem to trigger it either (even though it does trigger menu for some apps like Chrome).
