Ok, color me confused.

In an attempt to deal with the proximity sensor lag, I used the RUU for my AT&T variant, reflashed the new 2.7 firmware, flashed TWRP and restored Maximus from a nandroid. Now, I'm seeing the AT&T branded crapware (AT&T Family Map, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, Digital Life, Uber) in my app drawer, and it even persists after wiping /system, /data and /cache. What gives?
[One (M9) Android Development] frankcck:
You have to use [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] Combine_Stock_Firmware with Wipe, which will get rid of your att bloatware.

Bloatware used to store in system but now some may be saved at firmware.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
That makes sense - it seems they're links to download rather than the app itself, so slamming it into the limited space available for firmware explains a lot. I presume the wipe firmware zips you're referring to are here: CLICKY, but I'm not sure which one I should be using. It speaks only about wiping the /sdcard partition, but if the links are in firmware, there isn't a 2.7 version with wipe for my phone. Perhaps there's a way to use a fastboot command to wipe the firmware partition and reflash the firmware that way?

ETA: I suppose I could use the WIPE firmware to flash 1.32, then use the NO WIPE to get me back to 2.7, correct?

By the way, regretfully, the lag is still there, though.
[One (M9) Android Development] frankcck:
Yes, you can. Because Sneaky doesn't include bloatware in his firmware zips.

Or you can flash "Full Stock, Wipe" for 1.40.401.8 and then flash "Combined, NoWipe" for 2.7.401.1.

Here's everything you ever wanted to know about the preload partition...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60361509&postcount=92
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
No go, guys. Those F'n AT&T apps keep reappearing. Here's what I did:

Started with HTC's RUU just to be sure everything was set right

Intercepted reboot to download mode

Flashed WIPE version of 1.32.502.31

Reboot to download mode

Flashed NO Wipe version of 2.7.401.1

Reboot to recovery

Advanced wipe of system, dalvik, cache, data

Restored Nandroid of Maximus

Boom. Those godddam apps are still there. I realize this isn't precisely a Maximus issue, so please feel free to suggest another thread where we can move the discussion if need be.

ETA: Having gotten frustrated with this whole thing, I decided to take some time out for TV, and attempted to use my remote software, which reported that there was no IR blaster on my phone.
[One (M9) Android Development] clsA:
I would start over fresh but use the developer edition ruu to begin with.

The pre-load partition is basically empty with it.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
I'm in. Since my head is ready to explode, can I ask you for a link to the Dev RUU?

BTW, any reason why I can't manually delete the appreload.img file from within the zip to see if that works?

ETA: Wow. What an ordeal. HTC putting that **** into the app preload is a true PITA. Finally used the Intl. 1.40 firmware, then flashed over with 2.7, then applied TWRP 2.8.7.0 to round it out. Crikey!

Thanks for everyone's help. Let's hope that proximity sensor lag is gone after all this trauma.
[One (M9) Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
so you know what you did wrong, right? Flashing the ATT FULL WIPE firmware flashed the apppreload.img from the att firmware. Then you flashed the NO WIPE from the WWE 2.7 zip package, but the NO WIPE zips do NOT contain the apppreload.img file, so the ATT version of that file was not overwritten and just remained intact. Anyway, like you said, not a Maximus HD issue so therefore OT. Just wanted to keep you from experiencing a similar headache if you ever flash ATT firmware again.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
LOL.

Yeah, color me stupid. It took a while to get my head around what was happening, especially because a few posts up it was mentioned that sneakyghost didn't include the app preload image, so when I saw it in the archive, I figured it for a 'phanthom' empty placeholder. I wound up using the Dev edition fw, and it's all good now.

Now, if you'll all excuse me, I need to go find a bottle of Scotch. ;)

Just manually check OTA and this window will disappear.
[One (M9) Android Development] ericc191:
I tried 4 roms, each for a full 2 days, before settling on this one. I think it's the most stable with the best battery life. Thanks for making it! I also like the OTA feature!
[One (M9) Android Development] Quadrider10:
ok, i have the ATT variant, when the update drops on the Dev edition, im going to convert mine to the Dev edition. in Aroma, should i choose the ATT option or the international?

I'm on developer edition and I always choose AT&T when I have the choice.

And the OTA is already rolling out today

just converted my ATT phone to dev, ran the RUU 2X, flash latest recovery, wiped everything, flashed the ROM and everything is running extremely smoothly except the messages app. for some reason, when i click on a text from the lock screen and unlock my device to that chat, then open up the stock keyboard, the background and the speech bubbles go blank white. the only noticeable thing is the black text. is this a known issue? how can i fix?

Yep, I have that firmware, but not sure it's worth to use it now.
[One (M9) Android Development] Security555:
Is 2.8 FW compatible with Maximus 5.0.1 or 2.7 base rom in general ?
[One (M9) Android Development] LlabTooFeR:
I'm quite sure it's capable.
[One (M9) Android Development] Quadrider10:
yup, im running it now no issues other than the messages app going funky with the background and colors.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
Same here. Everything seems OK, in fact performance seems better, too. No problems with the messenger app on my end, though.
[One (M9) Android Development] ericc191:
Is there any specific information about what they did in the new firmware? As opposed to "Camera improvements" and "Performance increases."

I am having a problem with the battery stats not resetting after charge, anyone else ? Even if i charget it at 100% the stats says 3 or 4 days on battery...
[One (M9) Android Development] baddevil2:
Did flash 2.8, too... Will have a look, how good it works ;)
[One (M9) Android Development] Quadrider10:
i fixed my battery drain issues. After about 2 days of letting it settle, you can use an app to freeze Setup.apk (7.0.558642) and Setup Wizard.apk (2.0), This will stop them from running in the background 24/7 for no reason. Also, after initial setup, i noticed google play services using a ton of battery for some reason, so i went into settings and cleared the data of it. The 2 other apps i froze to see if there were adverse effects were HTC Video Chat Enhance, and SmartcardService. Afterwards i rebooted. my phone has sat idle for 5 hrs not in use ans has not dropped a single percent as before it was dropping ~1-2% per hour. Also, using EX Kernel Manager, i changed GPU govonor to Simple OnDemand. This causes slightly lower scores on Benchmarks, but helps battery quite a bit. Instead of the GPU idleing at 305MHz, It idles at 180MHz. i notice maybe a slight difference in UI lag, but not nearly enough to annoy me at all. You have to be looking for it. Finally, the last thing im using to help battery is Greenify. I Greenify every app possible without breaking usage. All apps that can be downloaded in the play store, i uninstall from my device and install it again through the play store, then greenify it. It helps a lot! Just my 2 Cents. So far, im loving the ROM and it is indeed my favorite one!

Question though, will there be official support for the Dev edition? or do we just have to select the international version during install all the time?

Have been using this rom for few weeks now. I am using Google keyboard and it is lagging on chrome(forum reply, typing of email) and Facebook message. While the lag is happening, it doesn't affect typing of url on chrome or apps like WhatsApp ... Weird...
[One (M9) Android Development] DeadPotato:
Is your Webview up to date? I used it for a couple weeks before the official update, the only keyboard lag issues I had weren't related to the keyboard, just related to a beta browser I was testing.
[One (M9) Android Development] anandlal:
I do not think it is this ROM in particular. I did a clean install of the Dev Edition RUU from HTC's website then took the 2.8 OTA and I also have that same problem. For me it is Qualcom's Battery Guru (at least that's the only one I checked).

Prior to doing the clean install via HTC's RUU and then OTA I did not have any issues.
[One (M9) Android Development] jonatutu:
Yes updated to latest google webview. Keyboard is lagging as I am typing this. It doesn't occur all the time though. This lag does affect the phone causing it to delay as well when back or home button is press. But after exiting the laggy app its back to normal.. Maybe I will try another keyboard to test
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
Whoa.

I just noticed that Power Saver no longer supports individual selections for WiFi, screen brightness, cpu speed, etc. When did that happen? I was looking to turn it on, but leave screen brightness alone. Did I forget to flash an option somewhere?
[One (M9) Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
Welcome to Sense on Android 5.1!
[One (M9) Android Development] Quadrider10:
true, but power saver no longer raises the CPU temps to insane levels and actually saves power now lol. i tried it yesterday. temp never went over 37C even with use.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
It does reduce screen brightness a bit, though, which makes no sense because it's not supposed to kick in until the desired power setting.
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
That is bad

I used to use the power saver "Data connection" option and leave all the others off! :/
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
That's still there, it's just separated as a setting on its own.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/script-google-play-services-battery-t3059585

Here's a quick fix for the google play services battery drain. I used the 3rd option and UNCHECKED the service. Also it does not have to be unchecked again after reboot. So far, my play services battery usage percent when screen off is 33% instead of 80-90%.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
I wonder if this is related to the proximity sensor lag, and if so, whether or not using TiBu to clear data from Google play and Google services might not be better than a full wipe of the data partition.

Is there a spot to customize what power saver does? I did CPU and brightness, data and vibrate I let be. Sucks not being able to.
[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
That was the point of my post. Apparently HTC has removed that level of customization in Sense 7.
[One (M9) Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
Not sense 7. It's android 5.1 sense roms. Sense 7 on Android 5.0.X has the customization settings.

Is there some new animations in the android 5.1 based sense 7 ?
[One (M9) Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
Well I only mention it because I'm not sure if this is a case where HTC decided to remove a feature or a case where the feature just no longer worked with the new version of android. There are a ton of rom tweaks that no longer work with 5.1 and my hunch is that this feature was a casualty of the upgrade.
[One (M9) Android Development] Quadrider10:
Is this rom going to support the developer edition firmware nativity? Or just the international?
[One (M9) Android Development] DeadPotato:
Developer/Factory Unlocked and International work alike with the same ROM, I've used these with a factory unlocked device, no issues at all.

Scrolling blinkfeed, it's smooth even when loading images for new and existing content. Hopped into HTC Mail to look at my exchange inbox, nothing jittery there. G+ looks fine. Twitter is jittery, but it always is since it loads 12 billion posts at once. HTC gallery is fine. Google Photos is fine even when it's loading thumbnails for a gajillion images.

Dunno if this all helps? is there any place you specifically notice it? or a place you recall first noticing it?

[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
More detailed info here:

http://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-810-v2-617956/

My guess is that Qualcomm and HTC quietly slipstreamed the new chip into production, and just didn't want to draw any further attention to it, because of the negative PR. If that's the case, I think it wasn't the right decision and I would have made a point of issuing a press release to address the concerns, but hey... that's just me.

Sorry, your photo didn't show. I'm going to guess it's your firmware. Try using the International/Dev 2.8 firmware - that might solve some problems.

[One (M9) Android Development] BillTheCat:
LOL

Well, that was probably overkill, but as long as you're still rooted, Super CID and S-Off, you can always change at will. As to the OTA, one of the great things about being an XDA member is that someone almost always manages to pull the image and make flashable updates for ROM and Firmware within days, if not hours, of a release. Case in point, the OTA for AT&T's ROM is available as an RUU from HTC or here at XDA, so I never skipped a beat or gave it a second thought.

Anyway, let 'er rip, if you want, and see what comes. We'll keep the lights on for 'ya.

2. You have the v2.1 chip

(seriously, it's been said in those tweets that all M9s have 2.1 chip in them... mine has it, and it was purchased on day 1 when it went on sale, so they didn't only start adding them recently or something)

[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
So i think that is a confirmation that this rev 2.1 is nothing but a software revision and there are no hardware revisions. Xiaomi is the one who played this song of a special 2.1 rev to sell its Mi Note Pro

Now it is proved that it is nothing but software enhancements (drivers and so on)
