I've not had the opportunity yet to try omnirom (outside of dirty unicorn builds) but I've used (to a huge extent) every major branded custom ROM. Aokp, aosp, cm, du, PAC, liquid smooth, aicp, candy, bliss, pa, miui, mokee etc. PAC will always be my favorite (outside of cm) because of how great of an idea they had and how cool it's implementation was on jellybean. I really hope we get official support (and nightly builds) just because of how huge an impact the all in one idea was to the android community. A few people/teams had done something similar to a lesser extent but PAC nailed the all in one with their jellybean build. Thank you... I hope it comes to fruition.

Its working now the ringtone I tried to apply I had downloaded on another ROM I redownloaded it and it set fine. Sorry for the confusion
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
All good... I just thought that it was the app not the ROM because I've had no issues setting ringtones with third party apps on any build for the m8 but specifically this one. Glad its working for you.

Wow you were right about paranoid android. The have an official 5.1 build for the m8 on their site. I'm downloading now. Glad to see they're back in the game and not running off with oneplus..

Yeah I tried it yesterday. It's WiFi only for me. No calls and no data. Surprised they posted it like that. Hope you have better luck.

The 2 ParanoidAndroid builds worked fine for me on Verizon, the 05/13 has Theme Engine. Slowly they will implement more features.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Hmm I have LTE (calls and data) and everything else is working fine. Funny thing is your ROM is the only one where heads up works properly. My only issue with PA is I can't change the battery icon without installing xposed framework or manually replacing the battery icons in framework-res or systemui whichever pa calls from and there is no option to long press back to kill an app (usually available in developer options). Outside of that there's also no weather in notification drop down. But the ROM itself is very smooth and works great. I'm not going to use it though because of the issues I've listed. For me it's flawless just lacking in a few features and I don't like xposed on lollipop so its a no go.

[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
I see we now have official PAC lollipop support! Awesome thank you fizbanrapper!

HTC One (M8) MultiRom: ViperOne + Hypernova Kernel & PACman ROM 5.1.1

Edit: This could be coincidence/placebo but in settings-mobile network settings-preferred network type changing this entry to LTE (recommended) seems to reduce the WiFi toggle to no LTE issue I spoke of before. It seems to happen mainly on the first two boots. Very odd bug as I've not encountered it before.

With the latest beta build I've flashed twice. The second flash I couldn't connect to cell service until I rebooted at which point I didn't have LTE. After a subsequent full reboot I had LTE and ran through the above and haven't encountered the LTE drop since. Though I flashed a second time last night. I'm likely going to do a full wipe of my phone and reinstall a third time to see how consistent this bug is.

Regardless of any of that I'm ecstatic we now have official PAC lollipop support. This ROM really doesn't get the appreciation it deserves (IMO) on this device. I love the heads up feature. Your sokp build is great too... The sound on it is as close to sense as I've found. It seems as though you incorporated some of the stock sound settings and files on it. I say this because it's the only aosp build I've used on the m8 that had lpa enabled (just like sense).

Hey can someone please upload libvisualizer.so from /system/lib it would save me a reflash thank you.

[MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION], your input on the worst disadvantage of aosp- the distortion of the speakers, and any solutions, except for v4a?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
The only disadvantage with aosp is the lack of vendor source... Every Dev will tell you the same thing to that question. That is unless they just heavily favor sense/touchwiz. Hardware incompatibility/instability is the only flaw with any aosp build. It's inherent in what it is. His kernel fixes in sokp are the closest we've seen in aosp without the use of v4a, eXtreme beats or any other sound mods. But there isn't a fix without code/source. I'm not the Dev here but that is pretty much what any Dev will tell you.

And more directly the only two issues seem to be Bluetooth and the speakers... Bluetooth is much more likely to be corrected as several cm builds already have flawless Bluetooth.

[One (M8) Android Development] n1234d:
Well, yeah, boo closed source, I Love aosp, but have held off because of the speakers.. So the sokp kernel does attempt to fix the audio? Also, I'm surprised that no one has yet made a functional system wide volume limiting tweak.. Is something like that possible on aosp?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
It's without a doubt possible. V4A does that very thing. I think the biggest issue is the amplifier inside the m8 pegging the audio out. There are several audio tweaks on android some kernel level that perform this function. I think the reason most aosp builds don't use these is these issues are unique to HTC devices really and the major aosp names cm/aokp/PAC/pa/omni don't include that in their source. So that would be added/merged outside of the build.

Edit: and the software level mods do a decent job of correcting the issues when used properly.

[One (M8) Android Development] n1234d:
Well, v4a for speakers is really buggy and decides to stop working many times at random, which is why I don't trust it.. Btw, I dont see any sound mods working on a kernel level yet.. Is anyone working on it?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
When I spoke on kernel level sound mods I was tallying about android as a whole. Not necessarily on this device. There are several well known sound tweaks that people add into their kernels. I don't know if any exist specifically on the m8... I've had several nexus devices and have only had this phone for roughly two months so I only know what is available on lollipop here. I really know nothing of any mods that were previously available on this device. And afa future Dev. You probably know about as much as I do.

The issues you speak of with v4a I have never experienced. Understand that v4a only works on audio going through the stock android sound processing. Audio apps that use their own sound drivers/libs v4a will not effect. Poweramp for example unless you turn Poweramps drivers off. I also suggest people use eXtreme Beats available on XDA. It is a flashable zip with no GUI that gives a marked improvement in audio with or without v4a... Some say it is better than v4a. It also has presets available for download separately that are made for v4a and definitely improve sound quite a bit. I am an audiophile no doubt and own easily a grand + in headphones. Sennheiser, Beats by dre studios, Sony MDR sa5000s and am an admin/developer on another android site where we build custom Roms for low to mid grade cellphones AndroidArea51. Believe me when I say that I used to hate v4a but absolutely love it now and recommend it to anyone. I'm new to eXtreme Beats but I like it as well.

I should note that eXtreme Beats is installed via a flashable .zip and it kills the equalizer visualization in Apollo (CMs Music.apk) that dancing spectrum will no longer work but outside of that I've seen no issues. Im still trying to trace the cause and see if I can reverse that... But I've only noticed it today.

[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
See my last post in the sokp thread.

In addition to what's said there, "sound mods working on a kernel level" implies that you're expecting to see something in TricksterMod settings or something (at least that's how I read it, anyway). Most of what's done in and to the kernel, can't be manipulated by the user, and are not shown in TricksterMod (or whatever you use) because of it.

Pretty soon I'm probably going to start doing the hard work of identifying the key kernel source files in CM and comparing them to Sense to see what kind of cockamamie bunk HTC may have come up with to crap on one of Linus's magnus opi (pl. opus?).

NOTE

PAC's official builds will start with stock CM kernel. This means no kexec-hardboot patch and no sound modifications. I had the option of forking from my kernel source, but I strongly prefer to push those changes through Gerrit so they can be reviewed by people a lot smarter than me.

Starting tonight (5/16/15), future PAC builds in my PAC folder on AFH will include the kernel modifications I've made on SOKP (assuming there are no bugs in tonight's build, if I get around to making one).
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Yeah I should have elaborated that the low level audio tweaks don't typically have a GUI you can adjust with like v4a as well.

Edit: and see now I'm not the only one noticing what devs on this phone to watch. Currently there are exactly three that I watch. No offense to the rest but as I said anybody can compile a cm build and of those ~70% can cherry pick if they tried. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] n1234d:
Oh, I Love v4a, it's just that in the past, I've had problems with it specifically on AOSP with the speakers.

Loving that finally someone is giving the much needed attention to the audio :) When kernel level modification was mentioned, I did mean something that is an actual modification in the kernel itself, and not something like fauxsound etc. Gonna give SOKP a try now, and I'll be willing to do testing for the changes you make as this progresses :)
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
Just testing e changes on PAC. There's a difference, but it's noticeably worse than SOKP. :(
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
If it's an improvement from the last PAC build its a gain not a loss ;)

[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
So what is the best route to take when wanting to the best audio one can get with this device. There are a lot of different mods out there and some seem to work only with specific roms. What settings for v4a will make my m8 an audio gold mine ? PM me,as I'd hate to make a statement tailored towards something other than the ROM itself.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rantrave07:
does it have the Hover feature of paranoid android?? dying to use that but cant find it in any rom so far.. :(
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
Yes... That's really heads up now but this is the only rom that actually has that fully enabled...(when I say fully enabled... Apps have to be granted permissions to send notifications through heads up. For some reason most Roms (including pa only allow like the play store to do so... This ROM pushes all apps through by default. And where trebuchet isn't even an option on most roms trebuchet accepts all notifications on this one. Definitely the only lollipop ROM I've seen with hover/heads up working properly. I believe android officially adapted the feature in 5.1 but I could be wrong.) What shocked me is even paranoid android lollipop builds aren't as good as this one with hover/heads up

[One (M8) Android Development] pakom8:
Does this rom have the option to add extra button like power button?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
I don't know about power specifically but it does allow you to modify the nav bar yes. Just try the rom out. That feature is in PAC settings "buttons". And hover/heads up works out of the box.

HTC One (M8) MultiRom: PACman 5.1.1; SOKP 5.1.1; CyanogenMod 12.1.1 (Nightlys updated weekly); ViperOne M8 w/Hypernova Kernel

Edit: I've never used the feature (on lollipop, in jellybean I used to add a menu icon or make long press of one of the icons change to menu)... It let's you rearrange and add two buttons but the option for power isn't there. I have never wanted the power button as a soft key though... But if that's what you're looking for power is not an option as far as I can tell. It appears you can only add menu and search like you saw in old versions of android and the long press recents is made to be modified but since this is a beta that feature isn't working yet.. Its automatically setup to switch to last app from long press.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rantrave07:
Thanks so much for explaining it this much clearly. :) will definitely give this rom a go ... I miss the good old paranoid android. Sad that they stopped building for M8. :(

Downloading now ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
I thought the same thing but OP informed me PA is back. If you check their site they are still building for the m8 (in legacy). But, as I said, hover works better on PAC than on PA sadly. They do have PA 5.1.1 builds on their site. I had no issues but others have had problems with cell service. For me it was just lacking in certain features so I stopped using it.

Edit 5-17/18: And fizbanrapper, I'm sure my activity lately is a bit much (I'm on a two week vacation and unfortunately my fiance' was forced to work last minute so I've got a ton of free time right now) but I'm hyped about these new builds. Not trying to annoy you nor get into etas but I wanted to explain my activity. Thank you again for your awesome builds. SOKP and PAC are awesome. Slims never been one I've used a lot but it's definitely a good build. I'm glad you've put forth the effort to bring Lollipop PAC to us officially.

Or the times on afh are western and it was up 30 min after that edit ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
The latest build (05-17) is very solid. The audio isn't quite as good as sokp but it's not bad by any means. Stability is still great... No signal or WiFi issues. I haven't really tested Bluetooth. I noticed a couple small tweaks from the last build but overall still exceptional work.

This is by far my favorite aosp ROM on the m8 right now!

Some notes though:

-aosp keyboard (gesture typing doesn't work) This is a common bug on aosp builds and most of the aosp Roms on the M8 have this issue. I believe DU and Bliss don't but most do. As I said in the sokp thread the Google keyboard is the same thing and if users download it and switch to it gesture works there.

-for Verizon users (idk about others) you may see some signal issues at first boot (though i haven't in the last two builds). Basically you may see an exclamation mark next to the signal icon (no data 3g/4g/LTE)... Usually it goes away after a reboot maybe two but shouldn't come back after that. I go to "settings" -> "mobile networks" -> "preferred network type" and change this entry from global to LTE... Idk if it helps but I do that and haven't had issues since. It's habit now when I install. I don't know if there's any issues here or not anymore.

-in "settings" -> "PAC settings" -> "buttons" the "recents long press action" option isn't changeable. It appears that is supposed to be able to be set to something custom but when you select it nothing happens. By default it's set to last app which is what I would keep it at personally, but I am assuming that's a bug and should be noted.

As always I love this ROM and thanks fizbanrapper for another great build.

EDIT: THE MOBILE SIGNAL ISSUES I HAD SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH CM AROUND ~5/16... PROBABLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PAC RELATED CODE BUT CM CODE.

Edit 2: I had it happen half an hour ago after toggling Wi-Fi several times. It doesn't seem to happen now unless you manually toggle Wi-Fi and even then it's maybe 1/20 times. Definitely a minor bug and I'm leaning towards a cm issue not PAC judging by recent bug reports on cm nightly builds on the m8.
[One (M8) Android Development] Iloudsan:
does this have distorted audio i hope not because i really want to use AOSP rom
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Everything that's not Sense or GPE has that bug.

Almost bought a new phone today while on holiday because I'm fed up with this bug. I feel your pain.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcole20:
What kills me is with v4a the bug is not near as bad. I guess no one notices the decibel difference between sense and aosp. Aosp is pegging the amp causing the distortion. The volume at max is significantly higher on aosp than with sense. On top of that the audio on the m8 is still better with aosp + v4a than 99% of the american mobile market. I understand completely why people complain. But I'm a longtime audiophile and I have invested thousands in monitors, headphones and production software. This phone even with the bug is still better than any phone I've seen to date. It sucks, yes, but it's not a deal breaker for me by any means because there's nothing I've seen better.

Edit: please understand I'm not criticizing im just trying to explain how I look at it.

Edit 2: buddy of mine is working at Verizon now... Think I'm going to be switching out for a nexus 6 tomorrow or at some point this week. Lol... I just signed a contact with Verizon @ 3gb data 45 days ago. Got a buggy cm build that was switching to LTE on screen off. Ended up hitting 2.5gbs 3 days after the data reset. Called and added 2gbs to the line. Ended up seeing talk online of a 10gb plan for $80... I called and upped to $80 for 10gb data. I got the m8 free with a two year contract. So right now I'm paying $118 for 10gb data unlimited talk and text. My buddy has been working with them for a few weeks and called me about a nexus 6 that was exchanged in store due to a miscommunication at purchase online. So I think I'm going to go meet him at work and switch for the nexus. Always preferred nexus devices I just hate the 32gb no SD.

Edit 3: [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION] ... The signal issues I've mentioned are definitely a bug. I don't believe they have to do with you or PAC they seem to be a cm issue but after Wi-Fi to data exchange I lose data (exclamation next to signal icon). Reboot corrects the issue. I'm not 100% that it's cm related bit ive seen it mentioned in the nightly thread. Im on Verizon in a strong signal area with 4g LTE. I hate talking about bugs like this but it is there. It's not something that always happens with the exchange of Wi-Fi to cell but it is still happening. Just wanted to notify you. Sorry about the long post.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
In case any of you are wondering why nightlies haven't started.

Nightlies are currently only being built on 5.0.2.

I pushed my commits to 5.1.1

When (very soon) PAC decides to flip the switch to start compiling nightlies for 5.1.1, M8 will automatically be added.

I don't see any value in pushing to 5.0.2 to start nightlies when I've got fully functioning 5.1.1 builds on my AFH that you can use right now.

If you really want 5.0.2 official nightlies and can provide a good reason why I should take the time to do it instead of spending my time on the AOSP audio bug and MultiROM, I'll be happy to do so.

In other news, SOKP hasn't had any new commits in almost a week. Not sure what's going on there.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
There's drastic improvement in the AOSP audio bug in my last build. Flash it and tell me if you have the same experience on your device.

Ok, so most of the kernel changes had been set to compile as modules. It took some digging, but it turns out that with 5.1, CM-based ROMs won't compile kernel modules by default. I changed that setting and just got a ton of errors. So I changed the configuration so that all of the added configurations compile normally, rather than as modules.

Well you know 5.0.2 was really solid and no one really uses multirom. . . eh..

No. 5.0.2 isn't an interest now. 5.1.1 is running very well. No need to backtrack. I for one would like the bugs in multirom and audio worked out much more than 5.0 nightly builds.

Edit: got it installed and all setup .. (It's amazing how much faster you get when you do it all the time). Definitely a sound improvement. Not noticing distortion until the last two steps but that's seriously cranking the volume.

First couple of Wi-Fi/cell toggles went off without a hitch.. Hopefully that's taken care of as well. Thank you for another great build. I'm too tired to really go through and check it out right now.
