I doubt that, the stock ROM is so full of bloat with sh*t running in the background, no way it can be better...the cool features we add don't cause battery drain.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
I don't mean anything against any dev man. Sorry if I came off that way just over 60 phones and every single time stock just seems to have better battery life for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
none taken...I just can't imagine the bloated stock being better on battery
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] curiousGeorge:
Mod request: enable the sharpness menu in manual and RAW camera mode.

That would make this phone killer, absolutely killer. Should be one single hex/framework edit.

The auto-sharpen is awful and should not be on by default in Manual or Raw mode. Manual mode (the big "M" when you click the Camera logo in the settings within the camera) lets you change focus, contrast, zoom, exposure time, but not sharpness (?!) even though sharpness can be adjusted in the "Auto" camera. Very bad oversight, HTC! Hoping you can mod this fixed, ungray the menu. ;)

Another nice camera tweak would be to enable ISO from 50, 75, 150 in the ISO slider (manual/RAW) and exposure time >2 seconds for those night-time scenes and light painting, etc.

But just that sharpness thing would be miraculous, thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
OMJ, curious as to what you average SOT is?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] themuffinman:
In most cases I end up getting better battery life with a custom rom compared to stock.

Congrats on the 20yr milestone! Thank you for everything.

May the Lord grant you many more years of adventure, love, and companionship!

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
Not at all here, Are you using any mods ?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Harfainx:
That's the right LTE/Spark icon. It's Sprint's nonsense.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] deakelem:
thanks for the rom omj and team! its great to see you guys changed over to the m9, the native wifi tethering working so quickly is a nice treat! seeing that the m8 took a lot of work to get it working. Anyway to get the stock battery? or should we just wait for the updated modifications.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I added that option to this SystemUI Options mod....the stock battery works but I'm still working on the rest

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
My phone is currently stock, rooted, TWRP latest beta.

I would like to get wifi tethering working, which is why I may have to flash this ROM.

I'd like to keep my customizations and app setting, and I do have a nandroid backup of everything. So, what would be the best process to apply this ROM and either keep or restore my settings?

1) Apply ROM over everything as is

2) Factory reset and apply ROM then restore from nandroid backup the data/apps

3) Factory reset and HTC restore then manually type app settings

Using a custom ROM is new to me, as well as how to keep the phone up to date afterwards...ROM, Firmware, etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
just do a another nandroid b4 flashing the ROM, if for some reason you want to go back, just restore your nandroid & you'll be back to where u were.

more than likely a dirty flash will be ok...meaning just flash the ROM w/o wiping /data

personally I use HTC backup, and always do a clean flash then restore...but I kind of need to, to test the functionality of clean flashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Doing #2 is actually WORSE than flashing Dirty. You will Wipe out anything the ROM puts in Data.

One option I use now that has worked great is to do a Nandroid backup (so you have a full backup) and use Titanium Backup to selectively restore Apps and/or Data FROM THE NANDROID Backup.

So the one backup serves as full replacement restore or as selectively for just the time consuming non system related apps or data.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Macropoutsis:
Nice job guys. Everything seems to work great. Is LTE for tethering working? Anyone having a problem with this? :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] wytecaztle:
Everything seems to be working for me. Occasionally I have to toggle data on and off because it will not load some things on LTE other than that it is great. Hotspot working perfect.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Macropoutsis:
Thanks. Actually I was wrong. It is working for me. My bad. Thanks guys. Nice rom. :D
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] bsims85:
Loving the rom!! ... One thing.. When trying to revert back to the stock prism, I keep getting a download error? Wasn't sure if this is known already or something up with my phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] kaw900r:
Clean flash

Did a backup and then clean wipe with twrp and loaded rom everything is working great. Also didn't do update yet since I was already rooted. Now all I need s-off. t/u :cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] motoelliot:
Just a thought.... is there a way to make the "Android is upgading..." optimizing app blah of blah go faster at the start of boot? Its taking forever. Lol
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
No thats caused by deodexing, No way around if we want mods
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] motoelliot:
Uuuugggghhhh.... Thanks for the explanation. And your hard work...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I did a nandroid backup of the phone and flashed the ROM, as I wanted the hotspot tethering.

The flashing went fine, but the tethering is not working when I am on LTE. My devices can see the hotspot and connect. However, there is no internet connection.

On 3G, my devices see the hotspot and connect.

Does it not work with LTE?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Macropoutsis:
LTE tethering is a little buggy. Here's what I did. While tethering with LTE service. Cycle the phone in airplane mode and back again. See if you get data then.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
It did not work. In fact, switching it to airplane mode turned off tethering.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Macropoutsis:
Yes. But it should of turned back on when you took it off airplane mode.

Your basically cycling the data connection.

Edit: I just tried it and it worked. Tethering turned back on when I turned off airplane mode.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
It does come back on, and my devices reconnect. However, still no data.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Macropoutsis:
I'm not sure then bud. Keep trying. I know it works.

sim unlock

Does anyone have any idea how to unlock for gsm networks, possibly by leveraging HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk? Tried replacing said apk in system/app but no joy. All i get is force close of VDM client. Any idea how to get this to work?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
OMJ signing off, back in 8 days

No clue, my numbers are skewed because I'm always going into recovery to push & test files.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] aviatordoc:
OMJ, you will be bored without the phone and ROM stuff. :D

They have wifi on those boats.

Have a wonderful vacation.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
No laptop, too cheap to pay for the wifi, what to do? Oh yeah, drink like a fish lol

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] chas123:
I do most of the framework editing for the ROM's we put out. Which one is the simple hex edit in?

just curious
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
You know it you smali Guru....:good:
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] curiousGeorge:
curiousGeorge is my name, so being curious is like validation for my existence or something.

Anywho, I am not sure. That's the trick, finding time and investigating with little to go on. I imagine it's in the HTC camera app only -- it's just a single grayed-out menu that shouldn't be grayed out. (The sharpness control is grayed out in Manual and Raw camera modes, which is an accident HTC failed to fix).
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
I would bet its a little more involved the just a single hex edit. Once upon a time it was that easy but not any more.

I've taken a peek at it but havn't seen anything that sticks out

Also remember this is a hobby and labor of luv. It may be a while til we get to this as we get things done by priority.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
I just tried to set the Security on the Seen lock because I wanted to add a VPN connection.

I like to use the Pattern one. But it will not visibly show. It does show on the Screen Locker, but does not draw when setting it.

I managed to do it blind :)

I have taken all Google Play updates (i.e. including HTC's) and have not applied any mods.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] robshabazz:
I also noticed that. The screen & pattern are both white.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
So it is logging your pattern its just not showing it?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Yes, you can feel the vibrate when you slide over a dot.

I am running stock theme but I did try a couple and went back to stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] MadScientist2015:
Help pls!

I just bought a SIM-Unlocked used Sprint HTC One E8. It's rooted and S-Off. TWRP is already installed as well. The problem is whenever I try to update via Setting>System update>HTC software update, nothing happens!! I'm currently stuck at Android 4.4.2 and Sense 6 (software number 1.22.651.1). I've heard there's already lollipop update available for Sprint HTC One E8. Since I'm not living in the US, is there any other ways to update my phone? Thanks!!

Oops! Sorry wrong thread. I just followed this OP.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I took a look see at the slide patter in security/set pin and mine as well came up white/blank when it asked to set it. I just recently clean flashed v1.1 because I had some FC's with xposed modules and it cleared up the FC's but I also lost the ability to access the ##778# menu in the dialer. I only tried flashing a different PRL back when that mod was added and know it wont work, I just tried to access after I clean flashed to look at something and it wouldn't access it.

Running bad boyz v1.1 with a theme and different icons from HTC.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
1.1 contains the stock EPST.apk. so no more ##778# for now. Sprint seemed to remove the ability to change PRL and a few others. Besides unless you roam alot changing PRL doesn't do much. If you have LTE pretty much everywhere PRL never gets used.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I thought it helped priority on connectivity as well, plus when I travel with this device it seems like it is roaming due to constant change in data. I just wanted to compare menus
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Yes Priority connectivity with Roaming. In certain LTE devices the PRL determines if LTE is enabled in your geographical region.(forgot about that.)

Also remember you do not have to update your PRL when a new Tower is build.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
But did you use ##778# for anything? I guess I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I can do with my MSL number and if that hacked menu will serve purpose in the future.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Yes before you were able to change PRL, ACCOLC, Slot Cycle and vocoder changes. The last thing I read about ACCOLC isn't even used by Sprint anymore and no straight answer on if lower or higher number is better priority. Slot Cycle index doesn't seem to do much anymore either. Mine was 2 I set it to 0 and still takes a few seconds to connect call. So I just set it to 1. You really do not want to mess with any setting you don't understand.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
Anyone ever have this happen?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
Did you install any fonts from the HTC theme app or a complete theme ? If so which one, Change your theme and see if that helps.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
Nope, it showed up like that after I clean flashed the ROM (at 40% battery) let it boot, charge , then flashed remove hrdump zip + xposed framework + sound mod via recovery. I logged into HTC and found the menu that way. I took the screen shot after I found the theme I've been using.

Edit: I'll probably just wipe everything and redo everything one at a time on a full battery charge.

Edit #2 some how some are normal and some are not. Weird.

Edit #3 I forgot to add which one, it was complete theme of, "speed" on HTC. It is NOT ROM related, something didn't work correctly on their end.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] CMachikas:
Yes, I had the same issue. Doing it blind appeared to be the only way. I didn't mess with themes to see if other themes changed the screen, but it's a possibility.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
yep, but back now :) Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel

had a great time, but having a hard time getting back into swing of things...I think I'd rather be on the ocean :D

to those w/ the screen lock security issue...are u using the updated modded lockscreen I added on 5/8? if so, try deleting /system/priv-app/HtcLockScreen/HtcLockScreen.apk then install from store
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] themuffinman:
Cool, sounds like fun.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] robshabazz:
Tried that but still same issue. It's only when you're seeing up lock screen that it's white on white
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Anyone know if it's the same on stock?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] themuffinman:
I have the same issue as well. When using the actual lockscreen everything is fine its just when you are setting up your lockscreen pattern that its all white.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Bikegeek:
Doh. Updated sense...... Killed landscape and 5 x 6 app drawer.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
bastards! adding landscape, hs menu & big bf pix isn't too bad, but 5x6 takes a while....I'll get it done when I can (holiday weekend...)

can u post the /data/app/com.htc.launcher folder? thx

on a side note, I tested a workaround for themes that [MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION] posted here

worked great...here's what I did...

-verified themes don't work w/ modded sense home

-installed nova launcher

-switched to nova, just hit the home button & choose nova

-backup sense home using TB

-uninstalled sense home using TB

-installed sense home via play store

-switched to sense home, verified themes working

-restored sense home data using TB (this did not restore my widgets, but I was fine manually re-adding)

-restored sense home app+data using TB...mods returned, themes still working

eventually themes will fail again... but this is a good method to temporarily get themes working
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] barleysoda:
I get the message now too after flashing the new "TEST" prism mod but it goes away and themes still work fine. I think he was saying the same thing and themes works after the sign in message pops up and then goes away.

cool...as long as themes are working....
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] robshabazz:
Exactly

Does anyone know if sprint/USA users will see the 1.40 update, or will the next update most likely/hopefully be the Android M platform that HTC stated they are going to push in the near future?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Definitely won't be M....
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
Lol I figured it wouldn't be, they claim to have fixed "thousands" of bugs in that platform. I just can't wait till [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] and crew gets a hold of the next update for sprint. BadBoyz is the top tier when it comes to ROM's for the sprint m9. Next rounds on me(BUBBA/CG).

thx bro! yeah I'm looking fwd to a update too, gettin kinda boring around here lol....hoping next update is 5.1
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] IronMogul:
IDK if I missed this, but I am not getting VM notifications after flashing. I have 9 of them to go thru. Also the bottom bar that has Home and what not keeps blocking my email program that lets me delete messages i have to rotate the screen to do in mass.

Let me know if its been covered already. There are alot of pages to read thru
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Clean or dirty flash? Sounds like a bad flash
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] P_M_G:
Had a similar issue after a clean flash and TB restore of the vmail data that I needed.

I ended up chatting with sprint only ever any they did a reprovision of my vmail svc on their end and it's been perfect ever since.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
Knowing HTC and most OEM's history, I think its safe to say that the M9 will most likely see a sprint radio fix built into its pre-M patch. But then again, M is in preview, won't be out till the 2015 nexus and then 3 months after that, we'll have it. Sooo february?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
February?! :( and I also hope the radio fix is in store as well. As long as OMJ and the Bad Boyz crew are around, they will make the sense ROM what it should be with tweaks and mods. I don't always flash ROM's , but when I do, they are Bad Boyz ROM's. Stay thirsty my friends.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
February is probably pretty accurate for M, it's still in preview, probably won't be released until fall, then HTC will release 90 days later. But we'll likely see a few updates b4 then, including 5.1 and radio updates.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
F'ing A right! I'm happy with 5.0.2 right now, haven't seen the mods I use supported with 5.1. Besides security patches, it would be nice to see sprint figure out how to optimize connectivity to their towers prior to 5.1 update.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] deakelem:
I like some of the 5.1 features but honest radio updates all the way!!! goodness.. about your statement of it being really boring around here.. I agree, so I've been activating my m8 playing with cm12.1, gpe 5.1.. stock.. then going back to my m9 cause i just cant not have the best lol. cm12.1 runs nice on the m8 same with the GPE (as always captn.)

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] IronMogul:
Clean flash, first flash when I got the M9 rooted. I was waiting for a 1.2 update for the rom, I might do 1.1 again.

I went from 1.0 to 1.1 via the app on the phone so Im not sure if that made any diff.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
So I was reading that captain released a official 2.8.6.1 twrp version which is optimized for the m9. [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] , I was wondering if that will change anything on your end when developing future builds and if you switched from beta 2.8.6.4 twrp to official 2.8.6.1 twrp on your device.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Makes no difference to us on the twrp version (for the most part).... I'm still on 2.8.6.4
