Thanks for the help. I had not realized format was a separate section in there and no I had not done that and it probably would have solved my problem as well as the ruu would have. I also finally read up on how to take a log cat. In the interest of not annoying my girlfriend I will probably leave things alone for a while. Especially since I should get the marshmallow ota update with stock gpe.

If I get bored and want a change again in the future I will remember all of these things for any future wipes or troubleshooting needed.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
new release build is up in the OP. Check changelog for the details. will also have some more stuff in the works for the exp builds too

Just asking I'm the only one with the GPS icon stuck in the status bar?
[One (M8) Android Development] Snuzzo:
Had it once or twice. Hasn't reared its head since.
[One (M8) Android Development] XMoDuLeSx:
Same to me plus the led flash isn't working and camera FC.

Edit: also my WiFi couldn't connect to my router...

This rom is blazing fast if the bugs got fixed it will be perfect for daily :fingers-crossed:

You should make a clean install because the only problem I'm facing is a force close in the Google app when I try to change the voice settings

I always make a full clean install wiping all plus internal storage,I reflashed the ROM and WiFi problem is still here.I'm S-on btw

f2fs support is going to be dropped, so if you use it you should plan on switching back to ext4 in the near future.
[One (M8) Android Development] fizbanrapper:
Dropped by whom? Is that a MM thing? If so, any idea why?
[One (M8) Android Development] TotallyAnxious:
Lol well f2fs is from samsung, but I disabled it in the kernel I'm currently building for deso. The graphite and O3 flags I'm using make the kernel to large to use lz4 and after a massive filesystem bringup today I got annoyed trying to update f2fs to use the new code, and no devs for deso use it, I decided to disable it and try to make the kernel small enough to use lz4 again. Currently using XZ. So I guess the answer is dropped by me lol

Edit: I felt it was appropriate to give deso users fair warning about having to reformat partitions on their phone. No idea when the next release will but that kind of stuff can be a hassle.

[MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION]

Yeah must have been something in Titanium. I'm going to wipe, reinstall the ROM, Gapps and then limit the apps I restore to ones that aren't tied into the system, etc.

Is there any reason the Security -> Screen Lock doesn't allow None or Swipe. It's disabled by policy or credential storage. I don't have any credentials, I tried clearing them.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
Did you enable the screen lock? Then try disabling it and that's giving the error?

[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
No, didn't disable it. Here's a screen shot, I basically can't disable it (None).
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
Are you trying to set a pin or pattern? Or are you trying to disable the screenlock altogether?

sent from my DeSoLaTeD HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
Disable altogether. I just wiped and clean flashed and without making any mods it is still like that.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
Ah i get ya now, Unfortunately the screen lock is set to swipe by default and doesn't have a way to disable it currently

Have you found an Xposed ARM that works? Every time I install one, I get massive Google Play Services crashing, and I can't fix even after uninstalling the Xposed ARMs.

I've had to reflash three times to even discover this issue ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
I actually don't use xposed, but try setting location to device only and see if that helps with play services crashing

Thanks, that actually seems to have helped. It did work in high accuracy mode fine before installing the Xposed ARM.

[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
I also noticed the max CPU value was around 2.2 ghz, he could try upping to the max of 2.5.

Also, isn't MP-Decision faster to ramp than Intelliplug? If so, wouldn't Intelliplug be slower? I always thought Intelliplug was a bit better for battery but MP-Decision ramped faster.

He could also try OnDemand governor.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
The max clock cycle, if you looked, is 2572MHz. Also, I'd have to check that regarding intelliplug.

is anyone else having the speaker distortion on this rom? all the way up it is really bad :( I thought this issue was corrected in CM12.1

other than that, ROM seems superb
[One (M8) Android Development] lilbigdude1:
Are you using any sound mods?
[One (M8) Android Development] -4ndr01d-:
No sound mods. My plan was to get viper4android.but didn't make it that far
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
It seems kinda loud when its all the way up causing some distortion
[One (M8) Android Development] lilbigdude1:
Aosp roms run on the loud side... I had major distortion on mine and it ended up being the speakers. They went bad and ended up getting a new device.
[One (M8) Android Development] -4ndr01d-:
well, i can flash other aosp roms, and they are fine

resurrection, carbon - sound is perfect

saber - sound is loud, but not distoreted

desolation - sound is loud with crackling/distortion

i tried this on another m8 and it had issues with distortion on carbon and saber... so im not sure whats going on. both devices are on the latest firmware, and latest revisions of the rom with respective gapps.

maybe 3rd time the charm
[One (M8) Android Development] XMoDuLeSx:
Can we have appops on this awesome rom in future builds?
[One (M8) Android Development] lilbigdude1:
Try dragon-fi sound mods and see if that works for you. He tells you the issues with aosp roms in his thread. His mods may or may not work with aosp roms due to the gain issues. Also one thing I've learned from reading different threads and flashing different devices. They all flash and act different, not one device is going to act t the same as another. You're dealing with human error, data loss and corruption. And I've been flashing and reading since the Captivate was released.
[One (M8) Android Development] -4ndr01d-:
lol the captivate... i started on the htc diamond pro and kept on going up with HTC

but yea, i understand all the different devices flash and act differently

ill flash again and try that mod
[One (M8) Android Development] GRIDSpawn:
I fix the sound problem just install viper4android xhifi as a system app and play with the equalizer and in master gate (limiter) -6db also select the audio reconstruct and its sound loud and beautiful no distortion i compare the sound with the m9 and sounds better than the m9
[One (M8) Android Development] -4ndr01d-:
got the audio fixed, thanks to [MENTION=3354524]GRIDSpawn[/MENTION]

is there a way to hide the alrm notification in statusbar? i thought it was within the app, but im not seeing it

and can we edit the lockscreen shortcuts? ie; remove the phone and camera from showing on lockscreen?
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
As far as the alarm notification, I use something different that allows for that option. Lock screen shortcuts are built in, but you can add different shortcuts to it.

Did you make any voltage changes in this ROM? I'm finding my device randomly siezes up after reasonable usage. It doesn't outright crash but it lags and ultimately it gets to a point where it responds to each command about 30 seconds delayed. It is almost impossible to get it to reboot or even to get the screen on and off. My only solution is PWR+Vol.

It happens when browsing the web, switching apps or even typing. It's no specific event that causes it.

I'm wondering if it is undervolted. Any other tips? It is happening 1-2 times per hour under normal use.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
What I've been testing for that is overvolting by 1 notch in trixster. Its extremely ransom when it does happen, but I think this may help

sent from my DeSoLaTeD HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
One notch at every frequency?
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
That's how I'm testing it, yes.

sent from my DeSoLaTeD HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
Thanks. I'm giving that a go.

Also, I noticed when you change the boot animation to 8-bit, when you back to stock, it removes the boot animation altogether.
[One (M8) Android Development] Snuzzo:
Still a WIP. Delete /system/media/desoboot.zip if this occurs again.
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
Thanks, things are improving. I really like the customizations you've provided!!!

I noticed something happened to my charge LED. It is now green when charging, not orange as it was yesterday. When my SMS app does it's flashing indicator, it flashes green and I can see solid orange in the background.

Is there somewhere where I can change the charging (orange) full charge (green) behavior?

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Snuzzo:
Settings-> Battery.

Quick Battery settings:

Pull down notification tap battery.

If its not there, we will look into things further.

Also a quick note for Boot Animations. You do have custom zip filtering.

Place a pure bootanimation.zip(not one that gets flashed in recovery) on internal storage Downloads. It should show up in the list. Its set up to use it until you wipe system again, for flashing a new ROM. It will not persist between flashes.
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
I don't see the Quick battery settings. I just see Battery Saver and the battery charts.

I got the boot animation resolved, thank you!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I believe multirom twrp is causing problems for a successful ROM flash. Using MR TWRP here, and it just keeps rebooting to recovery when I attempt to flash the ROM. I haven't tried with a standard TWRP recovery. Anyone else having this problem ?

You would be the first to have tested with MR. AFAIK it should work, but again nobody has tested it

[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
That's what I was saying... The ROM did not flash with MR. it might be different for others, but it's not working on my end.

I am on MR and had no difficulties flashing yesterday.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:

[One (M8) Android Development] ckvisme:
As long as the rom you start with (internal rom) has a kernel with the kexec hard-boot patch... You can flash anything else you want for secondaries .

I'm on MR v32 And flashed Desolation without any problems...

I have a CM based rom as my internal.

I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but seems pretty good.

Thanks for bringing a rom with layers to XDA, we don't have near enough yet.

BTW the No Sim is gone message on Sprint ?...see pic below.

Thx guys, nice work!

PS the themes seem to work without issue as well ?
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I'm not sure what's happening.....Maybe I downloaded a bad copy, who knows. I just switched back to standard TWRP, and the issue was replicated. It start's the flashing process and somewhere in the middle of the process it reboots back to recovery. Ive never seen anything like this before, and Ive probably flashed zip's hundred something times. Ill check the downloaded size, and see if it's any different from the typical cm/aosp rom size, or just re-download the rom and go from there.

Edit: file's the right size: 233mb

I am using GPE 5.1 firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it. I seriously doubt that though....
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
Did u verify the md5 from afh

sent from my DeSoLaTeD HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Initially, no....I have now, and all seems well....As I said earlier I have been dealing with type of thing since HTC G1 and this is the first time I have ever in 8 years seen a rom go through the process of wanting to flash without any problems then rebooting into recovery as if nothing was wrong. Ill keep trying though

Edit: Rom boots, the first copy of the 7/24 version was apparently corrupted. I re-downloaded rom, it's booting, and going through the initialization process, it works !!!
[One (M8) Android Development] DBCoop:
I'm getting excellent battery life, and I'm happy with the overall ROM and it's options. I am still however seeing long pauses and random stalls.

After overvolting one notch, I'm not longer seeing complete crashing, but as stated, I'm seeing long stalls which ultimately cause apps to crash (Android then let's me force close them) and I'm able to resume.

Were the default voltages altered? I'm hesitant to over-volt too much.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckvisme:
OK, every thing looking pretty good... Except OS isn't able to see my external SD card or USB-otg...?

Is there a setting I missed?...

I have this rom installed as a secondary, with MultiRom v32..

Recovery as well as my internal and other secondary roms can read Extsd and otg...

Lol, IDK where to look next... I've missed something..

Tried wiping dalvik/cache ...

ran restorecon in recovery

Tried mounting extsd And otg in Android...

Ideas?...

Sprint m8

4.25.651.14

MR-TWRP 2.8.6.X

MultiRom v32

S-off

Desolation 7-24 build

TIA ?
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
It appears the kernel is UV/OC so that could be causing some instability. OV will mainly impact the battery and stability if that's why it was crashing. I can ask [MENTION=3018567]Damacy[/MENTION] on the UV/OC thing for ya.
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
Is your recovery at least seeing the SD card? Twrp and ROM both see my 64gb card. However I did have an issue with my wife's m8 not detecting the ext SD card when on a previous ROM it did. Issue went unresolved cuz she went back to a sense ROM which is what she wanted in the first place lol. My suggestion would be to backup your SD card on a PC then format it in recovery or something then copy the contents back over.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckvisme:
Yeah I can see it in recovery and on other secondary roms... Well I may just try reflashing and see if that helps... Thx for the quick response.

....if it doesn't help I may format the card a toy suggest...lol, need to clean out a bunch of clutter anyway?
[One (M8) Android Development] izzaeroth:
I think her issue was it had some folder on it that was causing some kind of permission issue as she was using a sense ROM prior.

The figures are actually quite a bit lower than Desolation, so I'm scratching my head a little...

This is a 15 minute report, but since "lowering" my voltages to the settings shown in that thread, my phone is snappier and hasn't lagged yet. Perplexing... I'll continue to monitor.

I have a US-spec M8 (T-Mobile unlocked running on AT&T), so technically my max clock is 2.3 GHz, but I'm running those settings on a 2.5 GHz (Asian spec) max, and in very short-term testing/usage, it is performing magnitudes better with less voltage. I'm really confused, but if this stability holds with the otherwise great ROM build, I will be very pleased!!!

Cheers!
