I test HTC handsets. Currently testing the M9 and the A9, as I had said in that post.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I will be testing something soon, no idea if it's a phone out or a new one coming, but excited to be back testing. I did LP on m8 awhile ago.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Got the new OTA stock ROM out, will be updating these next. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Sorry for the wait all.

Been real busy.

Have the ROM done, will get it posted tonight or tomorrow, then just need to do the MOD Pack, which will come in a few days.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
FYI, dirty flash over 1.3.7 seems to work. Needed a reboot after initial boot, but otherwise okay so far. Thanks.

ALSO, if users need Exchange functionality, download HTC Mail from the Play Store.

Been running it since last night. Great as always. Ide drain on battery seems better, but could be placebo, or just the fact that I fresh installed and don't have a bunch of crap downloaded yet...lol. Great job Andy.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Thanks for the update buddy. Has anyone else noticed that blinkfeed has lost almost all functionality? I flashed the FB and G+ plugins, so I have those, but twitter is gone (it's always been there, never seen it removed) as well as the ability to add custom topics.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Must be HTC thing. U can flash old Prism.apk from old mod pack see if it fixes it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
they are discontinuing blinkfeed, they want you to download another app to retain news updates. Any luck with reboot to recovery?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
Blinkfeed now requires a download of News Republic (and an account, which is free) if you want it to show anything other than app and social media notifications. By mid-December old Blinkfeed will no longer be supported.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
No.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
Any idea why they are discontinuing blinkfeed
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
Not to hijack Andy's thread, but I believe it's a question of the expiration of licenses HTC held for use of various news feeds. What is missing, though, is the ability to add your own RSS feed previously available in Blinkfeed.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
Safe to assume it's better to not flash the old Mod pack on the new firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
So... I found a really cool bug. My Advanced Calling randomly started working after flashing 3.0. It broke several months ago and now works :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
She's running great, Andy. Just checkin in.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
It was a theory that might happen. No one I know (myself included) wanted to wait that long to find out. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Sorry for the wait all.

Updated ROM with all apps up-to-date and MOD Pack coming tonight.

If coming from v3.0.0 you MUST clean flash.

If already on v3.0.0 and don't care about updated applications into /system - feel free to just flash the MOD Pack.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
As one who dirty flashed 3.0 over 1.3.7 and wasn't really happy with the result, I heartily recommend just what the OP says ---- clean flash only. :good:

Meanwhile, should we update the firmware if moving from 1.3.7 up to 3.0.1?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Links updated.

"Meanwhile, should we update the firmware if moving from 1.3.7 up to 3.0.1?"

- Absolutely, I suggest the latest firmware that matches the ROM base - 3.10.606.7, for both ROMs actually the best firmware is the latest, Verizon base and Developer Edition base ROM

and yes, please don't try a dirty flash from v3.0.0. I would only suggest a clean flash when it's absolutely a necessity.

Ever since the new LP M9 ROMs, you can't update system apps with a dirty flash (or else I would put out a "Patch v3.0.1" instead of a Full ROM).

I did put instructions in the OP post #3 however, if already on the ROM and wanting to update a system app.

You used to be able to just cut and paste into system, now it's a little bit more tricky and involves "uninstalling" from the Playstore after the cut and paste, then a reboot.

Let me know of any issues guys.

Should be 100% bug free as far as I know.

The one issue is reboot to recovery - reboot to download mode then get into recovery from there.

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] any chance you could post a flash zip of just HTC music?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Its in the removed apps.zip - but once I get to a PC I will post for ya.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
Yea, I know, I just didn't want the 80 billion other things. Can I just delete everything else from inside the zip except for the music apk? Then flash the zip? Happy Thanksgiving to all
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
Can anyone suggest a kernel that works with this ROM? I am gonna try ElementalX but any suggestions will be appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Here ya go. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
The latest ElementalX kernel boots http://elementalx.org/devices/htc-one-m9/
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Yea you can delete everything but the app(s) you want then flash.

Happy Thanksgiving All!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I've been running this one a good 6 weeks and overall the battery is better, although I still have heating issues (I know, this is the fault of the processor).
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
Have you tweaked your kernel settings? I was never good at understanding it so I was wondering if so can you share your settings? I usually always run stock kernel settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I used the defaults in aroma and don't remember what they were exactly.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Updated HTCSenseHome (Prism) app

Ok, this will be a bit of a tricky installation.

(This is only if you want the MODded Prism.apk, no need to do this if you don't use it, however you can use this method to move it from data into system)

First, update the new HTCSenseHome (Prism) app from the Playstore if you haven't already.

Then go into something like RootExplorer, and find the com.htc.launcher-1 in data/app and go inside and get the base.apk and lib folder cut them both, and delete the existing Prism.apk and lib folder in system/priv-app/Prism, then paste the new base.apk and lib folder into the Prism folder and rename base.apk to Prism.apk.

Then go back into the Playstore and go to HTCSenseHome (Prism) and hit uninstall - wait for it to finish uninstalling then reboot.

Once booted up you will have the updated HTCSenseHome (Prism) into /system.

Now reboot to recovery and then flash the .zip I've attached here.

If you did all the steps correctly it should boot up fine with the updated and MODded Prism.apk.

I have attached some images of the process along the way that should hopefully help.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
OK, I'm sure this is explained somewhere, but I am clearly missing it; what does the modded prism do?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
With MODs from MOD Pack.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
I am pretty sure I did all the steps correctly and after rebooting I had prism working fine, then I rebooted into recovery to flash the zip but after rebooting prism was gone? I only have the Google launcher
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
You missed something then unfortunately, sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
I was sure it was something I did, as always lol. It was really stupid, I didn't use a capital P when renaming Prism.apk. I got it now thanks Andy.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
No worries my friend, was a complicated install.

Glad you got it.

:)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Stam2000:
So I haven't checked this thread in a bit. How's the M9 running? Still on M8 but it's dying on me
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jtommyj:
M9 running great and HTC.com has it for 40% off while supplies last.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dajmanjt:
Hey liberty quick question. Did the elementalx kernel function good for you? Are you still running it? Is it better than the one that comes included in this ROM? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
Not sure if it is better but I have been running it since my last post without any issues. I would recommend trying it and see for yourself, I didn't run this ROM long with stock kernel, I always opt for a custom kernel as long is it is stable. ElementalX is very stable. I'm not too tech savy enough to know much about it lol. I would love to see someone who is to share their settings to get the most out of it. All and all I think it's about the same, the main thing is having a few extra features and a little extra battery life.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dajmanjt:
Thanks for the info! Have either of you tried any of the other kernels available? I mess with kernel settings a lot and track the results so I will definitely give Elementalx a shot and if I find some settings that work very well with performance/battery life balance I will let you know. I will get my s-off M9 delivered probably this weekend. This is the ROM I will be installing along with whatever the best recommended kernel I can find.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I have not tried any other kernels, mainly because I don't know which ones there are. Would you mind to list them and provide a link if it's not too much trouble and effort?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dajmanjt:
Here is all the ones I have found so far.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I'm on your deodexed rom and very happy with it. Patiently awaiting MM!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
All good here. Just clean flashed last night. Withdrawal, I suppose. Quick question, when an app has an update ready, how can I be sure it's a system app, thus requiring the update workaround?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
pulled from OP, FAQ

Q: Can I update system apps without needing to clean flash the ROM?

A: Yes. But it requires some trickery. With Android 5.1 I can no longer put out a patch so you can just dirty flash the apps in the the system, like could on previous versions. If you don't want to clean flash the ROM but still want to move the apps into system/app follow this process.

Take the update in the Playstore. Then go into data/app using something like Root Explorer, and find that new app you downloaded. For example Maps. It will be in a folder, and it will be called base.apk. Now, cut the base.apk and the lib folder (if there is one), then go into system/app or system priv/app depending where the app is, in system, and find the Maps folder, delete the old Maps.apk and lib folder and paste the new one in from data/app and rename base.apk to what the name of the app was, for this example, Maps.apk. Now for the trickery. Go back to the Playstore and uninstall Maps. Reboot the phone and you should now have the app back into System.

let me know if this helps, or if you need more info. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
I understand the process of updating system apps. I am questioning how do I know if it's a system app? Thanx Andy!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
ask and i'll let you know, but basically by looking for it in system/app or system/priv-app
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Thanx buddy, appreciate it.

All system? Also, do you know anything about the Facebook Orca/Facebook Katana folders?? Those have me totally confused.

*** I have been flashing the facebook add on for blinkfeed, which goes into priv-app
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Those all system. (Looks like I need to push out an update soon) :)

Unfortunately I am clueless on Facebook app. I always just log in using chrome.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hgoldner:
Andy, I've heard the Verizon M9 Marshmallow update is less than 30 days away. Might want to wait for that unless a minor update isn't a big deal. Sprint is due within the next two weeks according to Mo Versi.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Interesting.. Well I'm going to update them all tonight. In doing so, is there anything I can do to give you a hand with the update?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
A quiet rom thread is a good thing. Haven't had any problems, runs like a dream.

Just waiting for marshmallow. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Hell yes, much appreciate the info, can't wait to run some yummy marshmallows.

Def appreciate my friend, I was going to put out small update, just to update all the apps so when clean flash all apps are uo to date, but with MM on the way I'm going to wait. Thanks to Lyapota a good majority of MODs are updated and are being used on GPE ROM, just need to port them over to Sense. Hopefully can get just about all of the ones that are on LP.

Much appreciate the feedback my friend. Looking forward to doze and MM. Should get the forums a bit more active, been a ghost town lately - but as you said not a bad thing. Glad all is running well!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Very small update coming, v3.0.2

will require a clean wipe

updating all system apps (20+) and the MOD Pack

Prob. at least a month or 2 before MM I'm thinking, so want to get the system apps updated as I'm sure there are a number of them (20+), and then update the MOD Pack with the latest apps.

Once this is out, I'll continue to update the MOD Pack, but if you want to move a system app from data to system, I have the steps outlined in the OP Q&A.

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Forgive my ignorance, how is it that the M8 has a MM Sense rom but we don't? What are we missing that they have? This is not a **** question, I've just been wondering. :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Both M8 AND M9 have MM...

just not from Verizon, so we have no firmware...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
How is it working on the Verizon M8? Sorry for the off topic man.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
A modified kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
v3.0.2 links are hot!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Kernel isn't the deciding factor for the m9.

I've got Marshmallow booting and working just fine on the m8 with just ramdisk edits, yes that's part of the boot.img, but it's using a stock Dev m8 Marshmallow kernel.

On the m9, I've also got it booting, but with the m9, MM firmware is not just preferred, but it's required for a stable rom/port.

Without the firmware updated, it's just not stable enough for me to feel comfortable posting...

[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION], I see that [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] has MM running pretty good on the M9 from what I'm reading in his thread. I haven't been brave enough (or have enough time) to try it because I don't have a reliable PC and it looks like I'll need that to run the stock rom. Any progress on your Fluent rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
No ETA, but is in the works. :cool:

My free time is limited and not as much as I used too so I won't be able to push out MM as fast as I'd like to but it will be coming.

In the meantime Santod has been kind enough to provide us with the firmware and a stock ROM very quickly for us to enjoy stock MM.

(You can always update firmware using an SD-Card. Or flash the RUU which will give firmware and stock ROM)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
Thanks, I'll do some researching on how to do it with the sd card. Take your time my friend. We all have stable enough roms because of your hard work.

Just an Update

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and say what's up.

ROM is coming along.

Now with the new TWRP3.0.0 being able to flash .zips larger than 2GB I decided I wanted to do an Aroma based install.

Haven't made an Aroma based ROM since I was on the Samsung S3/S4.

I love Aroma, but it's taking me a little bit to get used to it again.

Understandably, it needs to be 100% correct. If you forget a ; for instance somewhere in the long code, it won't flash, and throws and error, and takes a while to find that missing ;

It's a lot of fun though to play with as there are just SOO many options that you can do.

I have the MODs done (all credit to lyapota) and have aroma set up to uninstall all the bloat (can add to it later once released, with requests but think I have just about everything in there)

I am having troubles adding the MODs into the Aroma, however, so I could release the ROM + MOD Pack as I usually do, and with leedroid having a tweaks app out, it will control all the MODs, I just would like to have most of them in the initial setup.

If I can't get it soon, I will release ROM + MOD Pack.zip with leedroids tweaks app.

So looking for a release in the next couple days, maybe after the weekend.

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Thanx so much, buddy. Anxiously awaiting. As always, if there is anything I can do to help, lemme know.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
I recall spending around eight hours way back in the '80s troubleshooting 500+ lines of code trying to determine why my program crashed - turns out I typed "l" (lower case L) instead of "I" (upper case i) in a short routine I copied from a text book. Frustrating but exhilarating when it all comes together.

Appreciate what you and the other devs do for us and our phones.

Please make sure to thank [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] for the ROM Base and the firmware!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
v4.0.0-1 MOD Pack

Updated MOD Pack:

- Added Ambient Display (Doze Mode) - Found in Aroma MOD Pack, but also Settings/Display & gestures.

If you change your mind and want to disable it, uncheck it in settings and change the "lyapota.doze.enabled=1" to "lyapota.doze.enabled=0" found in build.prop

- Added adaptive phone sizing with changed navbar size

(Fixes the gap previously found in the dialer using smaller nav bar sizes)

- Added big(squared) caller photo option

- Added SMS Wake Screen (Use Tweaks App to turn on/off)

- Added Exchange Mail Hack

- Added Call Recording (once in a call, press the 3 dots and you'll see "start recording".

The recording can be found in My document/My recordings.

And best of all BOTH your voice and callers voice gets recorded, unlike in previous Verizon ROMs

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
Andy, I know this isn't' exclusive to your ROM but I am about to install Fluent 4.0 and I am curious if there is a default.xml setting or another tweak that is causing my issue.

The issue is that everytime an app (Google Maps for example) asks to turn GPS on, it will also enable "Always Scanning" for WiFi. I noticed this happening ever since any Lollipop ROM from 5.1 on. I would be fine if it turned always scanning off when I turn the GPS off but it remains on.

Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? If not no big deal, I will live with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Sorry not sure, but will take a look next time I use GPS and see if i notice anything. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
Hey Andy, Rom is buttery smooth, unlike anything I've experienced post 6.0. I'm having a few issues, wondering if you can help me out. First thing is my contacts aren't syncing with Hangouts for Google Voice SMS. No idea. Second thing is that, when configuring host files in Adaway, the host files can not be applied.. Also, when using Emoji Switcher from the Playstore I am unable to apply the emojis after they've been downloaded. It says they have been installed, reboot, and I have the defaults. Am I having a problem writing to system? I don't know, pretty lost. I've had success on Viper, so I know it's possible with 6.0. If you can think of anything, lemme know. Thanx for all the hard work buddy!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Much appreciated my friend. My back is killing me lol been sitting in this darn chair for like 5-6 hours straight for days getting everything working.

try the attached app for ad blocking, it works great for me.

as for Hangouts, I'm not too sure as I don't use it for SMS, but I will try and see if I can figure out any info on that, same with the emoji switcher, not too sure why that's not working.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
We appreciate it, man. Top notch stuff.

For what it's worth I did clean flash your rom twice with the same results:

Upon opening emoji switcher it tries to detect what current emojis I'm using, but it can't. Then when it tries to apply the new emojis, it hangs then freezes for a minute, then says complete.

With adaway, it downloads the hosts, then configures them, then when trying to apply them, it pops up with a "host files can not be applied".

When doing a little research on this it talks about making sure your device is rooted, and able to write to system. I believe both apps are trying to write to system and failing. Obviously, I'm in the minority, using these particular apps (can't believe we lost HTC emojis tho) but I wonder if you are going to see issues with other apps trying to write to system.

I just did another clean flash (that's 4 today!) of Viper, and hosts and emojis installed fine, and hangouts synced fine as well.

But really man, it's damn smooth. I was worrying about 6.0 for a minute. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Are you using the stock kernel? - think this may be the issue.
