[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cancelprocess:
Hello There,

I have a HTC One m8 and I'm considering Rooting it and installing a custom ROM.

Since I tried rooting once, and it somehow stopped me from getting OTA updates.

I'm a noob when it comes to that kind of stuff, I read lots of articles on how to do it, but I still couldn't manage. So I'll probably need a step by step guide :D

My phone is a Canadian unlocked Bell phone (From Canada) and running android lollipop 5.0.1.

Any suggestions? :o

Thanks a Million!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs101:
to install a ROM you don't need to be rooted, you just need to have your bootloader unlocked and then install a custom recovery such as TWRP that will allow you to flash a ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes, but any mods or tweaks available in that ROM will probably need root access. As long as it is a near stock ROM there shouldn't be any problems.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cancelprocess:
Thanks Guys!

But if I install a custom recovery, will I still be able to install OTA updates? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No. But you can always flash the stock recovery back to get OTAs when your carrier updates.

Or you could just flash the firmware manually of course.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cancelprocess:
Any idea where i can find those?

I'm using a Bell HTC one m8, I never found a stock recovery for my phone.

Thanks again!

By looking at the "sticky" threads at the top of the General M8 forum section. For that matter, start reading up on the threads linked in the Index thread (found in the same place) as well as the FAQ sticky at the top of this Q&A forum section.

Read read read, learn and understand. That will be much more benefit to you than someone leading you by the hand step-by-step.

The wide selfies are mainly cuz of the sensor size :) so I doubt you'd get that wide photos even if by miracle the app is ported successfully ;)

This is an indepth review of the outstanding Android app called Rom Toolbox.

Another master piece from JRummy. The background of this app is that every Android user that have rooted his device need rom and root apps that will help them in getting the best from their devices and Rom Toolbox is probably one of the best apps to do that. It is world famous app, app that was praised from XDA Developers, CNet, Android Authority, Android Police, Tech Crunch and tons of other famous tech websites.

Why Rom Toolbox is such a success? The answer is simple: It contains the best features of all popular root apps. It is an all-in-one root app that has tons of useful features that I’m sure you will love. It will enable you to feel the real customization power, something in what Android is the best.

Like I said Rom Toolbox is filled with tons of features, but we are going to review only the most important.

First of all Rom Toolbox will enable you ROM Management. That is essential for every rooted device. From this section you can install ROMs from a long list of ROMs and trust me, all popular ROMs are included. You can create backups, wipe data, cache and get battery stats.

I have the Hipstreet Titan 2. There is barely anything anywhere I have found, besides a hint these devices come partially rooted, & Super user needs simply be installed. I've done this, with nothing but errors as a result. Root checker confirms the device isn't properly rooted.

If it makes any difference, it was a 'kids' version (Kids mode app came preinstalled lol). My son just doesn't bother with it, so I thought I'd have a tinker rather than let it collect dust, but it looks like me and two other people have it in total. Only thing found on YouTube is tutorials on how to install apps from Google Play....

Does anyone else have this tablet, or know how to get full root?

Thanks

Hi, can you help me with this problem:

I've MDA Pro bought in Polish ERA GSM network, I see it's HTC Universal.

I wanted to upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6, but I don't know, which ROM should I take?

For example. when I'm watching at this post (Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE):

it seems no ROM for my Uni? :confused:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tadeusz:
JWrightmcps ROM 2.02.02 WWE. Is the best. Which Uni you've got? Is it i-mate, or some other brand. You should find something on his list.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] 2b3:
But there are ROMs for T-Mobile, Vodaphone, Qtek, O2 etc...

Which is for ERA?

And brand is MDA Pro - that's originally sold in this network.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tadeusz:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit25:
Hey the HTC would be using 810 which would have 4 a57 cores and 4 a53 cores.... And I know technically it would be only be using either the high power ones or the lower power ones ... But knowing how Qualcomm is more Dev friendly can we assume that we would get some Dev to unlock the potential of using all 8 cores together....

Same as in MX 4Pro
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
Ouch, that would consume a lot of power. Do you really think that much power is needed?

Greenify is probably one of the best apps for battery saving. It will get the most of your device and it will surely save you tons of battery life.

Greenify is created by the famous Android developers from “XDA developers”. The developers from this website are one of the best in the world and they received amazing critical acclaim from all around the world.

Back to Greenify. It is an app that has the capability to reduce the battery consumption on any Android device. Most of the manifucturers still haven’t found the correct solution for decreasing the battery consumption, most of their solutions work by automatically turning off Wi-Fi, GPS, reducing the brightness, etc. They don’t have meaningful effect on your device’s battery life.

Any Android device can do self-initiative and automatic checks about anything new in any application, especially when you install new apps or update them.

Facebook, EMail, Twitter, Google+, Whatsapp, Tango have processes that are constantly working in the background. On top of that, there are is also a great amount of software already installed by the manufacturer of the device (bloatware), as well as the provider whose services you use. Most of these applications are constantly open, consuming the phone’s resources (CPU, RAM), spending your 3G/4G internet, and they are biggest culprits for excessive daytime consumption of your battery.

[General Topics] JohnCorleone:
The Greenify Donation add on is well worth the few dollars it costs as well. If you get the add on then go into the settings, it makes system app hibernation and deep hibernation options available for use. Greenify is the one app that truly saves battery without freezing or disabling the app. There is no performance loss or app failure when putting apps into hibernation. One thing to keep in mind is that it is regularly getting updated to accommodate new devices and Android updates. Always back up your current version because some updates may not auto hibernate as well as the previous version etc.

If you get Greenify and GSam with the paid add on you will be able to greatly reduce wasted battery drain and quickly identify wakelock services

Zombies and pandas sounded interesting to us. So we did a review to “Panda vs Zombies”. The title say it all, this is a game in which you need to help a Panda bear control a zombie outbreak!

A deadly virus transformed almost all population into brain eating zombies, from office workers to The King of rock-and-roll himself (yes, ZombiElvis is one of the bosses). Your goal is to help a genetically modified Panda warrior to clean up the world from the hoards of the undead. Can you survive?

Here is why “Panda vs Zombies” is an excellent choice for zombie game fans:

+ Cartoonish graphics. The game has weird cartoonish 3D characters (you’ll love The King as a zombie) that feed your shooting frenzy.

+ Hours of fun. Over 100 action packed levels to enjoy fighting zombies for tens of hours in Story mode (with 4 other game modes as well).

+ Unique weapons. More than 10 different weapons to keep the adrenaline levels high.

+ Unlimited powerups. Improve your Panda by equipping it with unlimited powerups that increase its speed, attack, strength and many other attributes.

+ Fun audio. Lots of funny voices, cool sounds and of course Rock-and-Roll Baby!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrapowerpie:
Right so I've been playing with my phone that I've had for a while, but never seriously until this past week... and that's when I started noticing that it overheats. Pretty badly.

For example, I was playing Dead Ahead, a game that I didn't think was too intensive since my ipod touch 4g can play the game without any issues aside from some lag. All of a sudden after like, 20 minutes of play time, the damn phone starts getting so warm that I can feel it through the protective screen I put on my phone's front. After running a temperature check, it was near 40 degrees C inside there.

The weird thing is that it seems to take forever for it to cool. An hour after the above incident, the cpu was still clocking in at around 35 c, After I read a Cleaner(esque) App to kill all the running apps to try to prevent any more issues.

So I guess the question is, what's wrong here? I saw on the forums that the phone has a tendency to overheat a bit, but this type of overheating is ridiculous. I'm using the official OP flip case if that makes any difference. If y'all need stats and stuff just tell me how to post it/what you need and I'll gladly provide it. It's a shame cause I like this phone, I'd hate to have to dump it over an issue like this.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
40°C is nothing to worry about, these phones can get way higher than that without any real serious consequences. I'm pretty sure I've seen mine over 60°C. Just sitting here typing this message on Tapatalk has me device at this temp:

So don't stress, and remember games are very CPU and battery intensive, so it's natural for it to heat up a bit. And really, 40° on any Android device is actually a pretty low to mid temperature. So it isn't overheating, if it was overheating it would shut down due to the thermal shutoff. It's just heating up, and not very much.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrapowerpie:
Really? My ipad 2 and ipod touch (yeah I'm migrating) never had issues playing the same game with overheating...

but if what you say is true then I guess it's ok, but it was still getting warm enough that it was getting a bit hot to hold...

More importantly I think there's still a battery draining app on the phone since it woke up dead this morning after leaving it unplugged at night so I think that may be the issue... at least I hope it is. Now I need to go back and uninstall everything up until this issue first presented itself.

Oh I'm running the OTA cyanogenmod if you're curious, thanks for the reply.

Hello

This is not my scripts, I found them on the internet after many hours searching - I checked and they work :)

These scripts can slow down or speed up the processor

http://omniimpact.com/android/roms/myfishbear/Droid 4 Roms/JB Roms//Jb Patches/OC Scripts/

1.1GHz (ULV, LV), 1.2GHz (N, LV, ULV), 1320MHz (N, LV, ULV), 1370MHz (N), 1375 (N, HV), 1380 (N, LV, ULV), 1400 (N, LV), 1425 (HV, LV, ULV)

I tested the 1.1GHz, 1.2GHz, 1.4GHz, 1.42GHz

I using 1380MHz, 1420 is unstable

Tested on Android Stock 4.1.2 98.72.189.en.US

DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Installation - install package for Stock ROM

I recommend having Safestrap for possible repair your phone in case of emergency

[MENTION=5849725]ferviverus[/MENTION] how do you apply these scripts? And how are they working for you? :silly:
[Motorola Droid 4] ferviverus:
I install it directly to Stock Rom (like Mentors Rom)

Sometimes the stock Rom doesn't start, then you install other overclock script

I recommend to use 1380MHz version or lower

If the phone boot propertly with this patch, install "No-frills CPU Control" (from f-droid for example) and check Max clockrate is 1.38GHz

If you have 1.38GHz, go to CPU Control Settings and set 3rd option (other applications (or system) cannot change cpu frequency).

http://gmclan.org/uploader/6184/Screenshot_2015_05_05_09_40_20.png

If you install patch and clockrate is still 1.2GHz (and you can't change it manually), probably you need also init.d support

I wrote an Xposed module to modify the visibility of the navigation bar.

Code snippet:

public class disableHideNavigationBar implements IXposedHookZygoteInit {

public void initZygote(StartupParam startupParam) throws Throwable {
findAndHookMethod("com.android.server.wm.WindowState", null, "getSystemUiVisibility",
new XC_MethodHook() {

The full code can be found here: https://github.com/aidfarh/DontHideNavbar/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/aidfarh/DisableHideNavigationBar/disableHideNavigationBar.java

The module works perfectly in Android 4.4. However, it fails in CM12 (Android 5.0). The error log contains this:

03-21 06:48:46.710 I/Xposed (11748): Loading modules from /data/app/com.aidfarh.DisableHideNavigationBar-1/base.apk

The full error log is attached.

The thing is, the class "com.android.server.wm.WindowState" does exists in CM12, as seen here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/cm-12.0/services/core/java/com/android/server/wm/WindowState.java, but Xposed is reporting ClassNotFound. Can somebody please help?

BTW, my module contains another part that uses handleLoadPackage to hook into "com.android.systemui" and that part works perfectly. Only the part under initZygote doesn't work.
[Xposed General] aidfarh:
Never mind, I figured out how to make it work. Turns out that instead of initZygote, I had to use handleLoadPackage with package name "android". Good thing is, it works with both android 5.0 and 4.4 :).
