[MENTION=6119185]Mike1986[/MENTION]

Hi Mike,

I've done it again, bought the m9, isn't a done deal until tomorrow but i've had enough of the iPhone 6 and the Note 4 so they're both out the door.

Glad to be back on the HTC bandwagon again, it's so much simpler here, once i know this is mine (already got it in my hands) i'll be rooting it and throwing your rom on it, as always.

Good to see you again mate ;)
[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:
OK I'm getting the set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed when flashing the ROM.

I've looked back over the thread and as far as I can tell I'm on the correct recovery (2.8.6.0), so I'm at a loss as to how to fix it?

Hmm, still reading and 2.8.6.4 is the correct version then?

Should have done more reading before flashing :( Anyway, up and running now and everything so far is running smooth Mike. Waiting for my case to arrive before I use the phone properly though.
[One (M9) Android Development] nationalicon:
Same thing is happening here, after clean install. After turning off wifi hotspot, it continues to broadcast, but devices can't connect and it stops broadcasting by itself after a few minutes -- no need to reboot. Maybe it's a feature rather than a bug, so devices don't keep disconnecting if the service or connection is inconsistent.
[One (M9) Android Development] lee.ngeap:
For my case, i have to reboot the my m9.

Not yet it is ;)

Unless you posted it somewhere else :D

Still having force closing on sygic, clean flash 5.1 no exposed and stock kernel..
[One (M9) Android Development] Fetz Braun:
Yes it is. It is the changelog of 5.1, but he forgot to write '5.1' ?
[One (M9) Android Development] DeadPotato:
It doesn't matter if it's internal or external, even a full wipe in the aroma won't erase your data, I assume using internal storage would make the install process faster. Not sure, but I have a factory unlocked american model and it works perfectly, hope that helps :)

And welcome to the dark side :D
[One (M9) Android Development] mike1986.:
fixing it now :p
[One (M9) Android Development] mike1986.:
Is it just me or M9 is really much less popular than M8 was at the same time year ago?
[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:
Yeah I agree, in the short time I've had it it seems a better phone all round.

Think it's because it got bad reviews in the media mainly because it wasn't wildly different to the M8, personally I don't think that's a bad thing, especially if we're only talking about the design of the thing.

Bit harsh in my opinion and hopefully over the course of the year they'll change their minds. Don't think anyone thinks it's a bad phone more that because it wasn't completely different that they weren't wowed by it.
[One (M9) Android Development] liam_davenport:
It's the worst HTC device ever :crying:
[One (M9) Android Development] nationalicon:
It's not just you. Everywhere you search, you get the same unfair biased reviews:

1. "Evolution, not revolution"

2. Snapdragon 810 overheats

3. Lower benchmarks than GS6

4. Camera sucks

5. Still 1080p

If the M8 wasn't so awesome already, I would bet the M9 would be praised for it's design and quality.
[One (M9) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
The Sensation was tbh.

It isn't that the M9 is bad, just not a massive step up from the M8 - add that to the fact the Samsung offering is alot better this year.

Oh and the M8 did start quite slow as well actually, was plenty of time to get used to the device and get stuff out there, well before the daft questions started.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
Nobody ever criticized Porsche for not changing the design of a 911 very much over generations, yet for some reason, HTC seems to be the phone company that phone geeks love to hate. Go figure.
[One (M9) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
What's unfair about it?) Isn't the camera not that great? Isn't it downclock 25% to prevent overheating? Lower max frequency - lower benchmarks.

No one will praise M8-like device twice :)
[One (M9) Android Development] Security555:
Same here, no update in Germany since .15

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Definitely not. One X and sensation was really bad in many aspects. M9 is only unacceptable in term of battery life.
[One (M9) Android Development] clsA:
I had the M7 and M8 and now an M9. The M9 is the best device out of the 3 in my opinion, but its sad that it just isn't catching on like the other 2 did.
[One (M9) Android Development] fallenangel408:
at first i didnt like as much as m8 but after camera fix and using RAW my pics are actually better now on m9 and i found all the mods i had on m8 so it looks great i used kernel tuner and did little adjustments and its now my go to phone...my son has the m8 now and he loves it :)
[One (M9) Android Development] oneshotaz:
Unfortunately it is, just because of the way people perceive things. They always compare it to last year's model and the flagships that are out there now, and since people always want more numbers in terms of spex and less of the same in terms of looks, the M9 has fallen behind. It is an excellent device that doesn't lack anything compared to any other model available this year, but the mainstream consumer doesn't see that.

1. FHD vs QHD: Trust me, nobody can see the difference

2. Camera better on the others devices: I doubt that anyone will ever develop these pix, as long as they look good on Facebook and Instagram, people are satisfied. And since everybody thinks that over-saturated pictures are the best, well you know

3. Overheating Processor: My wife has the Samsung Galaxy S6 and it heats up after a while of using it, it is normal for powerful devices to go through this, people don't have to be picky about that and miss the entire picture of what kind of user experience it offers

4. Lower Benchmarks: These mean nothing at the point where we are right now. If you are comparing the figures to those of the original HTC Desire, then yeah I agree. But as I said before, numbers mean a lot to people, and the more a device has of them, the more it is perceived as better

At the end, what matters it the user experience for mainstream users. As power users, we get to see things differently and can easily defend our choice of getting the HTC. I for one has been a loyal HTC customer since the HTC Touch HD, and I have been a loyal ARHD ROM flasher for years now (which btw, Mike, you rock!)
[One (M9) Android Development] konsti23:
To me, the M8 was the worst device among M7, M8 and M9 regarding design. They made (to me) the best step from M7 to M9. The M9 is a great device, if you don't compare to other devices that might be better there and there. But honestly: Who cares?

- Charging the device every night became normal

- The cam is ok to me - but the device is a PHONE not a CAMERA. If you want perfect pictures, then get a Nikon or something similar.

- Reducing the power in order not to overheat: OK, not state of the art - but is there really anybody missing performance? Not me.

- And overall: The full metal body is unique and makes the M9 what it is - a great and cool looking device which lies great in the hand and with overall great performance. What is the advantage if you know that an app might be started up faster with another device? Correct - none.

Now enjoy the M9 as it is and let other be jealous from the moment they take the M9 in their hands.

CHeers

[One (M9) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Every device with soft keys is the worst to me)) especially if it still has a bar for the missing hw keys for some reason.

Rival devices work faster with the same temperature as M9. Maybe throttled performance is enough, but more is always better)

I would rather buy an M9 in a plastic, just like E8. That metal body cost is surprisingly high. Compare:

It even looks better. I always use cases on my devices, so it needs to be pretty on the front, material and back finish doesn't matter at all for me.
[One (M9) Android Development] konsti23:
This shows how tastes are different - I don't use the case (dot view) of the M9 any longer and don't suffer from big scratches so far.
[One (M9) Android Development] p50kombi:
Not being funny but why are you complaining about the m9 on this thread?

Don't want it, don't buy it, don't complain about it, especially not on a thread that is not about the device itself, but about a rom.
[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:
Don't upset him, he helps make the Sense 6 Toolbox and I need that ;)
[One (M9) Android Development] p50kombi:
Just switch to xtended settings if he gets too upset. ;)

I'm just making a valid point.
[One (M9) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
The same reason others are praising M9 in this thread or wonder why it's not that popular.
[One (M9) Android Development] p50kombi:
I think you'll find most people are praising the device when they are running ARHD on it, so that is about the ROM.

I don't recall you posting you have ARHD running on your m9 but then again, I might have missed that post.

Anyway, I'm done with commenting even more OT, take it however you want.

Sorry Mike for the OT.

[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:

[One (M9) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
As always. I'm happy regardless.
[One (M9) Android Development] cobrax2:
i would like to add to this friendly discussion that m9 is also significantly pricier than m8 at launch, at least in my country. it is now inline with the iphone, which m8 wasnt last year. so (almost) nothing over the last version but 50% pricier? no thank you. also, i loved the quality of the ultrapixel camera and ois on the m7.
[One (M9) Android Development] helpmedisappear:
Thanks for another great ROM Mike
[One (M9) Android Development] eisteh:
Same price as iPhone? Either iPhone is very cheap at your location or m9 very, very expensive.

The m9 isn't a great advancement from m8, it offers nothing special. I'm grateful htc didn't jump on the QHD train but overall the m9 isn't awesome, it's just good. Battery performs ok to poor for the specs. I don't care about benchmarks or anything. I used the m7 before and the m9 sure is a bit better but honestly a bit overpriced and maybe a bit underperforming hardware wise. Still I prefer it over any Samsung or apple device. As google failed to deliver a good Nexus device last year the only alternative would be LGs G4. My girlfriend has the g3 which is a great device already, seeing what the G4 might have to offer the M9 might have been the wrong decision. Still, my contract was running out and the best choice at that time was the M9. So from that point it was the best decision (for me) and my next device probably will be a HTC again. I got two years to see what's happening on the smartphone market though ;p
[One (M9) Android Development] cygnus56:
I have the last ARHD, with 1.32.531.33 firmware t mobile, there are many differences if I s-off and install the firmware 1.32.401.17 international?...
[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:
Might not be many differences now (I'm not sure) but if you do S-OFF it'll be easier in the future in flash new firmware.
[One (M9) Android Development] cygnus56:
so it is, now I do not think it's necessary, but surely soon have to make s-off and flash the firmware that become available.

Moreover, the focus of the camera seems very slow, no way to improve it?

[One (M9) Android Development] gibbs1984:
You need to install TWRP 2.8.6.4 otherwise the ROM won't install.

Just flash that recovery and then reflash the ROM.
[One (M9) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Would have still failed.

Regardless, second flash should work, so just reboot recovery and flash again.
[One (M9) Android Development] ronii1123:
In recovery, go to wipe, advanced wipe, then tick system, then click the "repair or change file system" button, tap "change file system", then click EXT4, and try flashing again. That was the only way it would flash for me, might work for you.

[One (M9) Android Development] eisteh:
Well, most people probably won't upgrade from the M8 or even switch to another manufacturer. Can't blame them to be honest.
[One (M9) Android Development] Security555:
I suppose a lot of people waiting official update with real improvement in terms of battery life(mobile radio drain), camera, new s810 drivers... After real, big update people are ready to flash custom, because there's fundamental fault of Android itself, Qualcomm and HTC, custom ROM developers unable to solve. Maybe I'm wrong but I use my M7 ARHD 90.1 as daily driver, because it's seemingly better optimized and battery life twice as good in SOT and day and night in idle/deep sleep
[One (M9) Android Development] promonr1:
I agree, been flashing ARHD on my M7 with every new release that Mike1986 Made but now with my M9 I'm still waiting for some major update to come from HTC. And I'm wondering whether the heat issue will cause that purple color issue to come back as seen on my M7. Last update felt more like a bandage and I must say it takes HTC a long time to drop a new update, hoop they are cooking something major.
[One (M9) Android Development] clsA:
I sold my M8 for the M9 and I would do it again. Updating from M7 to M9 should be a no brainier.

Their cooking alright , M9 Plus / E9 Plus and so far it seems they just left us hanging, relying on Rom and Kernel developers to fix it for them

Spec wise it would be a no brainer but the overall experience between my M7 and M9 is not so different, especially not since I had ARHD on my M7 versus my all original M9. The M7 even has a slightly better contrast ratio and in dark settings the pictures from the camera are really terrible.
[One (M9) Android Development] clsA:
actually my point was if your still clinging onto an M7 an M9 is a better choice than an M8 or a Samsung anything.

and it's not really fair to compare ARHD on M7 (2 plus years of development) to a Stock M9

How do you like your M9 running ARHD 5.1? would you say it's a major improvement from TMOUS (branded garbage... since it's always better i assume DUHHH). I get mine This weekend and i'm looking to throw ARHD 5.2 on it. I understand the TWRP 2.8.6.4 is the latest (correct me if i am wrong) and that works quite well.

I am wondering if Mikes ARHD 5.1 has had any success in combination with the latest firmwares on improving the camera.

HOTSPOT

Is anyone else having issues when using the hotspot on their M9? My computer keeps adding a suffix with a numeric value to the name of my hotspot each time I connect to it. I've tried deleting old connections, renaming my connection and even merging it but nothing has fixed the problem. I don't have this issue with any other hotspot or wifi source. I started having this issue when I upgraded to 5.0 and 5.1. I'm not sure if it's my phone or my computer or ROM related. I've tried doing a clean flash but that didn't fix the issue either. I'm running Windows 7 and I've done some reading on it but so far haven't been able to prevent this from happening.

As always, any help will be appreciated.

[One (M9) Android Development] TorrentzRock:
I came from TMOUS and I highly recommend taking the ota from 1.32.531.25 to 1.32.531.33 if you haven't already. That is the most recent TMOUS firmware and it contains the camera fixes. I prefer to stay with Tmo firmware even though I am S-OFF (for the radio and such). It did make a huge difference in image quality. Additionally, the thing I have found that makes the biggest difference in image quality is to use Google camera instead of HTC camera (at least until it is updated more). It simply gives me better pics. I am also running ElementalX kernel with good success, battery life is a bit better than stock IMO.
