[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION], going to post what might be another in a long series of stupid questions. The ROM zip file appears to have a \data folder with nothing in it. Is there any compelling reason to flash the ROM *without* maintaining one's existing \data partition? To put it another way, is it possile to flash without wiping boot, system and both caches, and not wiping \data?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
The one from rovo89 works perfect, i am using sense toolbox, a bunch of stuff from defim, and youtube adaway.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
it's possible, this would be considered a "dirty" flash however.

Although my data folder is empty, if coming from say another ROM, some DEVs move apps into data (also other apps you download are in data, so you would possibly run into issues, I suggest wiping data if you're wiping everything else anyway. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
Yeah, I've been thinking about it and I suspect that some apps currently in data might be in \system in the ROM and I don't really want to go through app-by-app and figure out what's what. Just easier to flash clean.

FWIW, the Verizon UT devices are on 3.8.90605.1 now (we were on .16 and .17 before that) which are probably 5.1.1. They are definitely NOT early Marshmallow releases. Based on the performance I'm seeing on my UT M9, I suspect it's near ready for release.

I just bought an M9 with s-off, rooted, and running this rom (developer version). Of course I came right over and read this thread all the way through. Very impressed!

I haven't had an HTC since my DInc and that had a one-click forever s-off/root. Since then I've used adb to root/rom so I could learn. I remember the DInc being confusing, but that could be because it was my first, yet I'm a little intimidated. I've also never bought a phone from anywhere but Verizon before.

So, long story still pretty long, I'm hoping you'll all bear with me when I ask noobish questions. I think you will as one of the things I'm impressed with is the kindness here with both the OP/dev and the users!

1. Any suggestions on insurance, as my Verizon total coverage won't apply?

2. I've searched the M9 threads but having trouble finding a good instructional one about the whole process on the M9 Verizon. Like a one stop place linking all the helpful how-to's for this phone?

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to learning enough to eventually help (at least with testing, if nothing else)!

If you have asurion through VZW they will most likely cover the phone. I know this because I checked into whether or not a non-verizon nexus 6 (which works perfectly on verizon) would be covered. Both Verizon and asurion stated that it would be.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jesssiii:
What CS rep told me was they would have no way of knowing the condition of the phone when I got it. It's like new, but from a private party too. But maybe I won't take that one person's word. I'll ask again when I get my sim and activate. Thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
There are two parts to the verizon's phone coverage plan. The extended warrenty (which they would not cover since it was not purchased new from a supported retailer) and the asurion insurance, which would since it is insurance on the current active device. You have to be specific when you talk to them about it.

No go on the 2.16 on my VZW branded M9. Latest TWRP 2.7 and firmware from the thread. Just sits at the HTC white screen for 20+ minutes..nothing. Also, after flashing and selecting to reboot, it said my phones was NOT SU/rooted...and do I want to install SU via TWRP. Tried both yes/no. Still just sits at the white reboot screen.

Restored my Viper...all good again. Did Full Wipe etc..
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I flashed 2.1.6 before posting, and MD5 matches, I suggest redownloading and checking MD5.It's just an update to system apps, nothing else changed. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
No issues on my VZW M9 with 2.6.605.15 firmware.

Fluent 2.16 Installed normally, set up as new device, added some apps - working as expected.

Thanks Andy.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] techlogik:
Ok guys, will try a re-download and try it again. Will report back. On 2.6.605.15 firmware from the link and most recent TWRP 2.8.7.0 as well.

Seems like when I put it on my external SD card, is when it won't load/install properly.

Put it on the internal storage, it installs fine. So something with trying to install it from an external SD card installed it seems. mmmkay..

All is good. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jesssiii:
I put the updated rom on a 32GB SD card, along with my folders of music, ringtones, pictures, etc. Also made my custom Splash1 and put it in the Splash1 changer on my computer so I'm all ready to install it.

Now I'm just waiting for my sim card to arrive from Verizon. And, of course the M9! I'm sooooo excited!

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
Well I was one of the unfortunate casualties in losing VoLTE. Finally have had a weekend at home so I decided to RUU the phone and re install everything. Despite going back to original FW I was unable to get VoLTE to work. Pretty sure the only way to get VoLTE back is to go through a warranty of some sort. Not a deal breaker for me and I don't want to have to bother dotatt with another root request.

Back on the newest Fluent. Aside from Volte not working (not rom related) and the Power Saver off trigger when plugging the phone in, are the only things that bother me with this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Flash the systemui.apk from mod pack and removes the power saver off notification. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
I don't mind the notification, it's when I plug it in and it automatically turns power saver off, I like having it on all the time, sometimes I forget thus leaving all 8 cores on. I believe you yourself said this is a Verizon m9 issue only.

I tried creating a tasker profile to automatically turn it on when unplugged but no luck :(
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
We need to take this chat out of Andy's rom thread. I see you ruu'd. Make sure you remove volte from your account (not phone) before doing so.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] techlogik:
So, put the ROM on the internal storage, installs fine. Maybe something to do with my external SD card..going to get a larger one for backups anyway, will see about that.

Otherwise, I've been running Viper Rom for several years now on various HTC One. Besides missing a few little things, like the circle battery I like, and being able to double tape home to sleep, this Rom is pretty sweet. Been running it a couple of days now. Real power sipper, fast/smooth, put the tweaks pack on and have a few cool things I like, the menu button at the bottom right always, really like that, goes back to HTC One M7 days etc.

Nice work.

I was wondering, because I had this with Verizon on Viper as well. But one update it went away and started working, when you do a *67 to hide your caller ID, and dial the area code/number...I get a Verizon message "this call can not be completed" message. Anybody else have this issue?

Wish it was like the other cell providers where under the Advanced call settings you can disable and hide your caller ID and not have to prefix the option before dialing. Regretting I ever moved to Verizon..haha

Wanted to do some VoLTE testing, but I'm pretty sure when my phone s-off, I lost it as well.

Thx
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jesssiii:
If you go online in My Verizon you can change your plan settings to always hide your caller ID.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
You can also probably remove the app "PremiumCallerId-release.apk" from system/priv-app

Great info! wasn't aware of this, thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] michaelbsheldon:
what he said

Yes, doing it thru Verizon is the only dependable way.

*67 does not work anymore
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] techlogik:
Can't seem to locate that option on MyVerizon site...but that callerID option apk that costs money is there of course on the phone and online to add. Wonder if that apk is causing the issue as mentioned above?

Def lost VoLTE after s-off. Soon as I make a call, then a message appears about no data available unless I connect to WiFi while calling. That blows. Sometimes need that while on the phone etc..
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
It's called Share Name ID in My Verizon. Caller ID is incoming, Share Name ID is outgoing.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jesssiii:
After receiving my M9 and ruu-ing then... Well, anyway, here I am! Going to install the add-on now. ?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jesssiii:

Anyone willing to test the theme please send me a PM
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
I just tried flashing the AOSP navbar and it didn't work. Thanks for helping, it really isn't a big issue so I do not wish to waste anyone's time with it. It may be something wrong on my end as it usually is lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
No time wasted, I'll remake the .zip sans time. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] PrizmaticSmoke:
It worked fine for me. :good:

Edit: If applying a theme from HTC themes with custom keys, they will replace the stock keys as usual.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] techlogik:
Just FYI, the Share Name ID doesn't hide your caller ID number...the digits are still sent, just whatever name you want to show appears. My phone PBX still picks up on the number and it is being sent, and causes some testing issues I do with my Avaya PBX with a feature that is used. So, Share Name ID isn't hiding anything as far as the number/digits goes.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Been quite lately. Everything running well?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
All good for me.

Tried to set up Android Pay by temporarily disabling SU - no luck.

Not interested in trying Xposed solutions since that messes with my VoLTE.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GohanBurner:

Hi Andy rom as always runs awesome for me. Probably a dumb question but this mod does not change your sound at all right ? Its just for looks right ?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Correct. Check out the links I provided that I ported it from.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
I actually got android pay to accept my cards by disabling SU. I have not tried to pay for anything with it yet but I assume that it will work as long as SU is disabled. I am OK with disabling SU as you can enable it when you need root access. Can anyone confirm android pay works with SU disabled?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GohanBurner:
Sorry, hehe....should have read the post in its entirety. Once the volume keys start working to change tracks I won't really need to go to an AOSP rom (which I'm very excited about). Thanks for all you're hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
I get Android Pay error even with SU disabled. See attached.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I can post the MOD for you, but I had a strange bug from it that I can't recall, I think when I press the volume keys on homescreen it wouldnt show up to change volume.

If you want you can play around with it, and I'll post a .zip to go back to stock if you have issues.

Are you using 2.1.6?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GohanBurner:
I am using 2.1.6 and the 2.1.6 mod pack. I'm going to try the xposed sense toolbox and see if those controls work.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Give this a try first. I know it works, this is improved version, may not be any bugs, I just don't use the MOD and never got around to posting it.

Make sure to enable in the Tweaks App.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
Hey andy, whenever I install this ROM it crashes at the end of setup and then I can never get to the homescreen or app drawer. After a restart it takes longer than the first boot and gets stuck after updating apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
I think I'm being dense, but I can't see how to turn it on after its flashed. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
You need to of flashed the MOD Pack.. If you haven't flash it, then re-flash the above.zip (not in the same recovery session..)

You have Fluent Tweaks in the app drawer, see screen shots..
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
I'm playing with it. I'll try rebooting to see if it makes it kick in. Thanks for the help. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
Any idea why I can't get this to work? I've redownloaded everything twice. Flashed the firmware even though I was already on 5.1. This is frustrating.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
can't say, no one else is having this issue. you check md5.. after moving to phone as well?

Wish I could help more.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] PrizmaticSmoke:
Are you flashing just the ROM on first flash? If not, only flash the ROM and let it boot once before flashing any mods.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
I was just flashing the ROM, per instructions. I appreciate the thought though.

[MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] helped me out. He suggested only doing a factory reset so it doesn't wipe system (I was manually wiping system, data, and the caches). Then reinstalling the deodexed ROM you posted, booting it. Then reinstalling this ROM, which finally fixed the issue. It was very strange.

Just finished putting 1.3.7 on my non-test M9. First the ROM, boot, restore from HTC Backup. Reboot to recovery. Then the mods, reboot to recovery. Then, having edited the "removed apps" zip, flashed that and we're good to go. Thanks for your always excellent work.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Much appreciated my friend! Glad to hear the setup went smoothly :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GohanBurner:
Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere, but what is the difference between versions?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Straight from Andy:

Dev base vs vzw base.. Just preference/options.

Verizon base is well, what we get from Verizon, like the ota we just got v1.3.5 is that base, but I'm sure you know this just saying.

Dev base ROMs, are this same ROM, but using thebase that the M9 developer edition phone gets. I prefer it. Less Verizon bloat/crap. You really won't see all too much of a difference, but before we had a 5.1 ROM, the developer edition m9 did, so I initially ported it for that reason.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GohanBurner:
Thank you for clarifying, I wasn't aware.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Does anyone have a flashback zip with just the HTC music apk. I don't really want to flash all the missing apps and I'm not going to be at a computer for a while. Thanks for the help
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Here you are my friend.

A work around while at a phone, is to use something such as Root Explorer, you can unzip the removedapps.zip remove all the apps you don't want/need and re-zip it back up. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Thank you sir. I was trying to to do just that and I was getting FCs. I might have been removing something I shouldn't have been.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tempguest:
I see the bold, all-caps "YOU MUST CLEAN FLASH!!!" message at the bottom in the change log of 2.17; however, does this apply if I'm coming from 2.16?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Yes, unfortunately. That's why it's written there. ;)

With Android 5.1 patches are no more to update system apps.

Full wipe is a must.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
First of all, thank you Andy, for the excellent ROM. Lovin it. Was wondering if you might have a 400 dpi mod laying around that you might want to share. I picked up my M8 the other day and realized how much I miss that mod. Also, I've noticed that Google+ integration is missing from Blinkfeed. With that said, might you have a flashable add-on that includes Google+ & Facebook integration? I've been flashing the removed apps zip, but I end up screwing things up by removing too much. Any tips?

Thanks again for the time and effort you've put into this ROM, and all past ROMS for that matter. Fluent is the only thing that's been on my phone since I got it. :thumbs up:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I can upload a .zip with google+ and facebook, but i forgot that they *may* need to be flashed with the ROM to be integrated, however here is a flashable.zip with them and hopefully they get integrated.

as for 400dpi I'll have to do some research I don't think it's as simple as a build.prop anymore for 5.1
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
You da friggin man! I was going to update tonight anyway. I'll try the zip, if it doesn't work I'll just throw the files in the rom since I know what they are now. Thanks buddy, I really appreciate it. Let me know if you find out anything about a dpi mod. Again, thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Just to follow up..

I flashed 2.17 went through the setup, downloaded my apps, flashed the Facebook & Google+ zip. Facebook was then integrated into Blinkfeed. With ES File Explorer I confirmed that all files from the zip were in fact there, but still no Google+ integration. I should mention that I haven't had Google+ integration in Blinkfeed since switching over to the M9. I've only been on Fluent both Verizon base and Dev base, with and without the removed apps zip. I've never had the option to at G+ to Blinkfeed. Can anyone chime in and say yay or nay as far as G+ goes? It's not a huge deal as I can follow most things on Twitter anyway. Which leads me to.... I'm missing Twitter integration now. Duh. Forgot about that. What is it in the removed apps zip that I need to pull in order to get Twitter integration?

Edit: Pulled Twitter folder from system\priv-app, rebooted, GOOD
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Glad you got it. :cool:

I will look again perhaps there is a g+ plugin in removedapps.zip that I missed

Thank you very kindly for the generous donation my friend!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Think I found it. Not sure how I missed it considering it's named "GooglePlusPlugin.apk" :D

Either way here is a flashable.zip with it, hopefully this gets you G+ BF integration.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Yessir. That was indeed the missing plugin. Oddly, though, I had to go in and install the app manually. Now I can create my own removed apps zip. Thank you kindly my dude!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
More than welcome!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] meandg5:
Instagram Integration

Been reading this thread about BlinkFeed integration. I'm missing Instagram in BlinkFeed. Can I assume that if I pull the Facebook APK file and replace it with the Instagram APK file I may get it integrated into BlinkFeed or am I assuming to much for someone who knows absolutely nothing when it comes to this! :o
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:

Satisfied customers don't make noise.

I have been testing the Marshmallow update for the Verizon M9. No idea when it will be finalized, but I've been on it about two weeks. It's not "pure" Marshmallow (yet) and I don't know how much of that is Sense and how much of that is Verizon's insistence on polluting the ROM with its own garbage. (For instance, what moron would pay $4.99/month for "Verizon Navigator" when both Google Maps and Waze are free?) As with all software, it's a work in progress, and the released version may bear little or no resemblance to what I've got.

Meanwhile, when my testing days are done....or temporarily suspended between new handsets...I've got Fluent on my own non-test M9 running just fine, thank you very much.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LuvMyDroid:
Sorry for the stupid question, but it's really late and I'm feelin woosie. Of the two ROMs listed in the OP I assume I should use v2.1.7. I don't understand what v1.3.7 is. Just an older version?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
The changlog explains this...

v2.xx = based off developer edition

v1.x.x = based off Verizon latest ota
