Help!

I flashed this ROM following the instructions. I guess it was a bad idea to flash the slim mini version of gapps. I keep getting pop-ups telling google play service (or some similar) has stopped. They are so constant i can't do practically anything with the phone. It won't reboot into bootloader. adb does not recognize the device. Any advice?

Thanks

[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
That's odd. Have you tried manually booting to bootloader or are you doing it through power press while in Rom? I had something semi similar happen before try forcing the phone off (while the Rom is running via power+vol up hold it until the phone turns off then switch to vol down+power) if you get to bootloader then reflash Rom using diff gapps package (you're going to need a minimal package). If that doesn't work and you absolutely can't get into the bootloader try running a ruu back to stock. But that will wipe your phone obviously.

Wow thanks! I didn't know that trick. I did a wipe, re-flashed the rom. This time I loaded Banks gapps. I still get the same pop-ups. Which is the right gapps?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Are you using 5.0 gapps.... Not 5.1 gapps?

Again, I use banks minimal and haven't had any issue.

As long as you are using 5.0 gapps... You can try banks, slim, PA(someone is Maintaining them again.) or any other 5.0 gapps you can find.

Maybe there's an issue with certain Google Apps flashing as part of gapps? So try minimal versions. You can get other Google Apps you like from play store, or for me... Since I installed them from the play store, I just use my titanium backup and restore Hangouts, maps, calendar.... Etc. ?
[One (M8) Android Development] upndwn4par:
What he ^^^ said. :)

It is clear now that you must use 5.0 GApps for 5.0, and 5.1 GApps for 5.1. Below is a link for the GApps I use.

I just posted this on my N5 thread. Might be of interest to some of you.

[One (M8) Android Development] :
That's the gapps I've used since you first made this rom. :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] pakom8:
The problem is with the new update of google play store, you need gapps that have the old version 5.3.6 iam using minimal gapps and work great https://basketbuild.com/devs/semdoc/AicpLP/GAPPS

Which firmware are you running? I've tried using tons of lollipop firmware and have problems with wifi
[One (M8) Android Development] :
You should be on the latest. No question. Not sure the number at the moment... Busy here. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] zb1991:
I've tried a ton of them and no luck with WiFi working, the only aosp ROM that's working for me is the 09/04 build of blisspop. Gonna try gpe and atnt firmwares and see if they work today.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
There's only one newest firmware... If s-on. And that's what matched your CID.

If you're s-off, you can supercid and flash different ones, but still, one version that's the newest.

Are you s-off? I'm assuming you are if you're flashing firmware. Try the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread to update to newest.

Anything older and you'll have issues.
[One (M8) Android Development] zb1991:
**** bro I didn't know about that thread, thanks bud, will flash and report back, and yeah I'm soff

Which is newest? 4.16.401.9?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
.9 is, or .10

I have .9 . 10 has a specific update for something, but I can't recall what. Sorry.
[One (M8) Android Development] zb1991:
Thanks I'll go ahead and try it.

Long time user, first time poster (of this CM12 OS). Someone from a different thread hooked me onto this and I have to say: this is the best CM12 available for our M8's!!! Thanks [MENTION=4452290]jcole20[/MENTION]
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Yeah this build blew me away... I'm really shocked by just how well it runs. My nexus devices on cm/pacman/vanilla/aokp didn't run anywhere close to as fluid as this build. I'm truly shocked.... It's almost like android was always meant to be aosp. Sadly, and this is not a shot at any other devs, we have 3 or 4 cm builds and several aosp builds (on m8 that is) but none even come close to this one.

Did a clean flash and connected my WiFi, worked fine until I turned the WiFi off then tried turning it on again which didn't work. Latest firmware, any ideas? I'm S-ON since it's my girls phone and she doesn't want me to spend the money for S-OFF.

Welcome aboard! Glad you are enjoying the ROM.

Still blown away myself, and I've been running the current configuration a week longer than you guys.

It costs money to S-Off? I did mine solo last year in the summer time for free. Have things changed?

Yepp, http://theroot.ninja/
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
As above yes it's now $25 to get s-off and that's fully compatible with att, Sprint, T-Mobile as of a few weeks ago (not sure if any of those carriers have gotten any otas since I asked jcase about it) but not vzw at lollipop (kit-kat works). A few years ago I would have thought paying for soff was ridiculous but judging by the amount of time they spent on these exploits it is completely understandable and well worth the $25. I read through the soff bounty thread and the way the team from sunshine handled that bounty was very admirable. The exploit is completely painless and they are basically approachable 24/7 in their IRC channel.

Edit: it should also be noted that they offered soff for free with firewater as they were developing a universal tool... Ppl had mixed results but many achieved a free s-off during that time. I'm assuming that's how you achieved soff.

Edit: HTC patched the initial exploits so the only option now is sunshine. [MENTION=5965648]rhodyvik[/MENTION]

Man its hard to leave Sense 7.0. Its so beautiful and Sound is great and Camera works so well. Hmmm should I flash or not flash lol.
[One (M8) Android Development] jayf99:
I used this one too and it seems to have worked, thanks!

I had a problem updating the SuperSU binaries after install but after I got that straightened out everything is great except for one thing, I still have BT problems but not as bad as it was with LiquidSmooth. Sometimes it won't connect when I turn on the headset until I disconnect from the phone and then re-connect.

I saw someone post that BT problems with CM-based ROMs might be due to the firmware being too new? I am using the TWRP-ey firmware from this thread which is 4.17.605.5. Should I downgrade? Is that even possible? The new firmware definitely gives better wifi reception.

Thanks everyone. I love this ROM enough to deal with the BT for a while.

[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Sorry I don't really agree that it's fair to charge... This goes against the general custom ROM/XDA/AOSP scene of work like this being shared for free.

Ubuntu requires a LOT of work, a lot of people and countless hours of testing and pay free coding. All the free ROMs on XDA require hours of work that also doesn't pay. Why is this any different?? Thankful I done it when it was still free.....

On to the ROM. I didn't have any problems with bugs so to speak, but didn't find it completely smooth either (I am particularly critical and will notice UI lags when others don't - for reference).

Can the gapps package used affect UI fluidity or are there any other tweaks people are running to get the UI totally and consistently smooth? Short of setting the CPU to the performance governor, I'm struggling to find a CM or AOSP ROM which is lag free (I'm picky I know... )
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
By your rationale all software should be free.... Considering that exploit isn't open source. Good luck with that...

As far as your lag issues maybe you should talk to God about your eyes being set at too high a refresh rate. If you think this is lagging wth do you think of sense? Perfection doesn't exist but as far as being perfectly fluid this is about as close as it gets from what I've seen. Your gapps package shouldn't effect this lag you speak of. I really don't know what to tell you... I'm not sure if you really believe this Rom is subpar or if you don't have a good frame of reference to compare it to.

Sent from my HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Frame of reference for fluid UI? That's easy.

- iOS

- GPE/Sense

The only reason not using Sense/GPe is because I like the tweaking AOSP/CM allows and I like the customisation that the CM Theme engine allows for.

I game on a high spec PC at more or less always 60fps+ on a 144Hz monitor so forgive me for noticing lags here and there. I was only asking. Not criticising.

My rationale is that it is an exploit for a community built around people hacking and sharing their code for the greater good. Not making money. Just in case you assume even more about me, I regularly buy CM themes and apps and am firmly against pirating games.

I didn't think gapps would affect fluidity, again, I only asked.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Look I completely understand why you're saying the stuff about the exploit but the ubuntu reference made me laugh because they pay their employees they don't work for free...

As far as fluidity I've too run gpe/nexus devices and I truly don't see a decrease in performance here. iOS is hated on but you're right is very smooth... But it's still iOS. I'm no Apple fanboy. As far as m8 roms go I think this one is at the top afa aosp. Sense viper is my preference. Try different kernels.

Sent from my HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
I'll give this another go and see if there is any key to getting it just right - and of course share my results.

My point was that I can download Ubuntu for free. Despite the time and effort that goes in to it.

I can't stand Apple but they built their OS from the ground up to always favour the UI, hence it is very very smooth. They don't have to consider the hundreds of potential devices though.

I like this ROM. Just trying to get the UI smoothness perfected. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] :
K, too much to do quotes. 2 things,

As far as Sunshine goes.... It's $25, whether anyone agrees or not... And it's the only way to s-off right now. So that can be filed under "it is what it is" . No need to debate it, especially in a rom thread. ;)

And you can downgrade firmware, if you're s-off. :good:

Edit: and the decision to charge for Sunshine was due to past bounty threads where many didn't honor their pledge. And it cost them several ruined devices working on it . That doesn't typically happen with most other software on this site.
[One (M8) Android Development] David 617:
Well said.

There is another point also. Sunshine and other root methods use exploits that can be sold on the black market or to security companies. An exploit like this can be sold for 5k-10k easily. Those guys who provide us with this service are doing us a huge favor. It takes them many weeks to develop this and many bricked devices in the process. $25 is a small token of appreciation to help them replenish their losses.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
If you are s-off you can downgrade firmware. See the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread, or the RUU, backup, firmware thread.

Not sure if it'll help, but you can try. The cm nightly thread has BT issues brought up too. Could check that out. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Just a little tip.... if you want to run viper4android don't! This rom does not play nice with SELinux after a reboot... Definitely don't set SELinux Permissive manually eg. adb shell ; su ; setenforce 0 <-- You do that and you're going to have to redo the command as setenforce 1 or every rom there after will be set as permissive. Said command works fine on Sense but not with AOSP.

edit: I set selinux manually because theres not a decent app on the play store that i can find for it. there are toggles but none will work after reboot (at least that ive tried) ... selinux works fine as permissive until a reboot for me, but after reboot the rom starts a domino effect of force closes.

Have you tried this one?

[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Yeah it didn't work on lollipop for me. Let me ask you this... I've just ruud 5x to try to get audiofx working again and its not. What could I be missing? Nuplayer is activated... Idk why I can't get this working anymore. Selinux is enforcing. Please give me some advice. I ruud successfully factory reset from bootloader w/ stock recovery. Flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 (what I've been using) and flashed ROM and gapps. No luck.

Edit; on your 4/10 build that is.

I see this over and over in the logcat

04-15 17:41:46.039 D/audio_hw_primary(316): No space available in compress driver, post msg to cb thread

And two entries of this

04-15 17:41:12.012 V/AudioFXActivityMusic(1688): audio session: -4

I'm assuming that's just the process being toggled on and off

Tried it with nuplayer active and inactive... Tried reflashing the rom several times. Tried google play music app no go... Was working on stock app before. Idk what to do at this point. If a ruu didn't fix it I give up. This was working before but not now.

To be honest it hasn't worked since I set setenforce 0 . but even after running setenforce 1 its not working.

Edit: I got it working... I flashed the viper 4 android for lollipop zip and played with it and couldn't get it to work either. I then selected uninstall driver from its menu and it activated w/selinux permissive. Once it was working I disabled it and audio fx was working. So guess I got both working separately.

Im assuming somehow viper was interfering with it. But what I don't understand is I ruud and didn't install viper until audiofx wasn't working out of frustration.

Final edit: I give up... I have to install and uninstall viper4android drivers every boot. idk whats going on. this is ridiculous. it's like the stock sound process is stopping audiofx even on a clean state. vipers activation interferes with that and then when i turn viper off audiofx works. this is ridiculous. it was working fine when I first tried it out, but now even after a ruu i cant get it to work.

Mannnnnnnn.... No replies? It is all good. Hey with yesterday's news from cm I think [MENTION=4453458]upndwn4par[/MENTION] (whats your handicap? And don't tell me golf) is going to drop some more magic.

HTC One (M8) ViperOne + Hypernova

don't mistake the Sig above I'm jumping back and forth between backups until I can get cm running properly. I've got a couple of issues on cm . WiFi toggle doesn't work from es and carrier name doesn't always show properly @ lock screen regardless of firmware. It appears to mainly be an issue with the wonderful company Verizon. That is judging by the lack of others seeing it too. But don't get me wrong I still firmly believe your cm build are the best I've ever seen.

Edit 2: I'm wondering if my issue before had to do with adsp. When it worked I had the hk adsp installed and when it wasn't it was stock boomsound. But judging by the fact that out of frustration I just flashed the nexus 6s audiofx fix zip and it still didn't work until I did the v4a thing I'm guessing not. Oh well... Not a big deal I just want to see you drop some more cm on us when you can. Please and thank you :)
[One (M8) Android Development] upndwn4par:
I don't golf nearly as much as I have in the past (too busy), so my handicap is not what it used to be. I don't even officially track it any more. I'd guess around 12-14. Might have to consider changing my user name one of these days. :)

I can't help with vfa since I don't use it. I'm content with Eleven/AudioFX.

As for CM12.1...working on it. But I've got a ton of code to merge, so it will be a while. :(
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Yeah I'm not looking for help with v4a... My issue was after a full ruu (completely successful to boot) audio fx wasnt working. It was driving me nuts. I finally gave up on audio fx but the post above my last one fully explains everything.

Yeah me either with regards to golf. I played golf literally every weekend (except winter and rain) with my father from the time I was 10-19. 2-6 rounds a week. At my best I was shooting with a 7 handicap (i cannot putt) but in 2008 I lost my father and with him really went my golf game. I've not played since he passed outside of a few buckets here and there....

But on a lighter note as my signature now shows... Can't wait for whatever you have next. You have set the bar very high don't get the yips. ;)

MultiROM HTC One (M8) ViperOne + Hypernova, CM12.1 (nightlies), CM 12 LollipopDream

Material Themed MultiROM TWRP 2.8.6

Edit: [MENTION=4453458]upndwn4par[/MENTION] ... Today I ran a ruu of 5.0.1 stock and prior to running the ruu I did fastboot oem task 28 and fastboot oem task 29 .... Flashed lollipop dream and still no audiofx. Also I'm seeing the aosp keyboards gesture typing isn't working for me. I'm not sure what is going on here but those are the only two issues I have. No other bugs that I've seen. It's really bothering me that I cannot figure this out. Idk what the issue could possibly be of following a ruu it persists. If you can think of anything please let me know because it's driving me crazy. I started a thread in questions & answers (help) and no ones responded. Thank you for everything regardless.

Edit 2: Currently this is what I'm doing... if this doesn't fix it this time it is not something on my end... it hasn't to be something else that isn't currently listed.

1: Boot to bootloader and "fastboot oem task 28" "fastboot oem task 29"

2: Boot to recovery and wipe EVERYTHING /cache; /data; /system; dalvik cache; internal storage and external sdcard

3: Boot to bootloader and run full 5.0.1 ruu

4: After forced boot after the end of ruu boot back to bootloader and perform a factory reset from the bootloader with stock recovery installed

5: Install lollipop Hboot

6: Boot to stock recovery and factory reset from the recovery itself

7: Install TWRP Recovery

8: Perform a full wipe from TWRP as what I did in step 2

9: Install Lollipop Dream

If the above doesn't fix it... it cannot possibly be on my end can it?

Edit 3: I put the hk adsp on because it's what I had on when it was working. It shouldn't fix it and it didn't but i wanted to completely emulate the working conditions of before. It is still not working. Do I need to restore competely back to stock and return this phone? I'm stumped.

Edit 4: OK so when audiofx works after v4a it's using the v4a engine to run and it sounds like crap. Also my issue with having to reinstall and remove v4a has to do with the odexing. I really would rather use audiofx but I cannot get it working regardless of if v4a is installed. So I'm all out of ideas. But on non odexed builds I don't have to uninstall anything every boot.
[One (M8) Android Development] upndwn4par:
First off, sorry to hear about your dad. :(

As for returning to stock and going forward from there, that is not something I can help with. I do not own and have never owned a HTC device. And I gotta say, these devices seem pretty complicated. Or maybe I am just spoiled by having a Nexus.

I can say that it is unlikely the problem is odex vs. deodex. That shouldn't matter at all. Might be best to wait until I get CM12.1 merged in. I will build clean with updated proprietary vendor blobs, which may help. :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) Android Development] :
If you're s-on, to return to stock, you need a locked bootloader and the correct RUU for your device. And you can't downgrade.

If you're s-off... I can't imagine a reason to need to ever return to stock. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
I don't need to go stock. I'm just curious what could possibly be left behind after a ruu. Audiofx shouldn't be failing after a stock ruu if it was working before. I'm confused how thats possible. Android is android, the only real difference is htc's hboot. I'm coming from nexus devices as well. HTC is a new territory for me with the exception of the g2. Btw, I got working aosp keyboard with team ub cm. Yours is still my preference though. It's just a better build. (Yours)

I'm well aware of how to go stock. It's extremely easy... The entire process would take 15min roughly. Ive done it a ton. I wish I knew more about what makes audiofx run. Ice never dealt with it until recently and I've never had to debug sound on an android.

I so like DH GPE a lot. I don't know how my phone is able to run all three with MultiROM but it is. It used to give me a huge fuss. All three meaning DH GPE, FluentROM 7.5 and LolliDream.

You don't have to lock the boot loader to go stock on an HTC m8. I mean technically to revert to complete stock you would need to but we have ruus available that flash stock 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0.1 stock with stock recovery. Only thing is they keep root but that is easy to remove.

I downgraded to verizon 4.4.4 firmware and the bluetooth is better. Th only issue with it now is in order to connect I have to turn the BT off on my phone and turn it back on. I'm going to try a different kernel and see if that makes a difference. anyone have any suggestions? I was going to start with B14CKB1RD.

Also, I thought I was good with this gapps version but every time I start google play it makes me accept their terms of service agreement. Is there a fix for that or should I try a different version like perhaps this one?
