This ROM won't boot on the verizon htc one m8 with latest firmware. I waited twenty minutes to boot. I felt my phone, and it was hot to the core. I turned the phone off and ran another gpe. However, the other worked seamlessly.

I honestly don't understand why this problem happened with my device.

Thank you for this build. I never got the chance to try full stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I haven't had any issues with gps dropping out all all. I travel a lot for my job and have been running the same version as posted for the past 5 days straight.

Check out and let me know if you have any issues
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I'm not sure what went wrong. The rom does boot on the Verizon M8. If you check out the screenshots, those are screenshots taken from my phone. The only thing that comes to mind is if you have you have switched to f2fs instead of ext4 which this rom needs. Maybe bad download?!?!? I'm not sure but the rom does boot and run. It does take a while for the rom to boot. It's too early to tell whats going on just yet.

Bootloops on VZW
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
What you mean to say is that it bootloops for you. I'm on Verizon as the screenshots clearly show. It takes at least 10 mins before the spinning circles roll into Android and the phone finshes booting. I'm replying to this post by using the same rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whaevr:
Probably be good to point this out in the OP since people using DH's GPE have the ability to use F2FS, albeit his latest release having some issues with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattyd3:
Any chance you might need to be supercid as well, haven't tried to boot this yet but thought I might bring it up as I remember a lot of people were having problems trying to boot DH's lollipop when he first released it because of that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I didn't supercid myself. I changed everything in the build.prop to match Verizon by removing any other cid and replacing it with our own. I haven't done anything special to get this to boot on my end. I have the usual set of characters. S-off unlocked, bootloader, latest firmware, latest TWRP, and root. Nothing else special at all.

This rom has no mods or anything else that would make it prone to any issues as far as booting up and running on our M8's. It's the same rom the Google put out except with everything needed for Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
There may be some people who are using DH's 5.1 firmware as well which might be causing issues. You recommend being on the 5.0.1 firmware for this, right?

I want to check this out!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I'm using his 5.1 firmware also. I was running his rom prior to porting this over with no issues
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Just to clarify, bootloops and endless boot are very different animals. A boot loop loads the Android OS and then reboots automatically, usually instantly. (I once had a bootloop, on another device, that gave me about a minute.) Endless boot means it just doesn't boot. If this is anything like DH's GPE, first boot will take 8 minutes and change. Maybe less as it has fewer apps to optimise for. Legit 20 minutes is endless boot. I'd say to give up after 12-15.

I wonder if maybe using another kernel might work? I don't know what all needs to be changed to get an international ROM to work on an American phone, but I'd guess the kernel would be one of them.

Just speculating as I haven't tried it yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Sorry for late response.

But in my case, I have the latest fw for the verizon htc one m8.

I was NOT saying it does not boot on "THE" HTC One M8. I was trying to say it didn't boot on MY phone. Sorry for the confusion.

The Rom would not boot, as dragontology said, I have the endless boot. The phone was hot and wasn't responding. The boot animation was working but was on for about twenty to thirty minutes until I stopped it.

I clean flashed the rom. I am not running digital high's 5.1 firmware.

Please, I hope that I did something wrong because I really want to try stock GPE.

Thank you DEV for your hard work.

EDIT: I am also not supercid.

Is there any way to get Hotspot working? I have unlimited and need it.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I honestly have no idea why the rom isn't booting for you guys other than whats been mentioned. The kernel is the exact same one that came in the original rom. I didn't change it either. Honestly, when testing the rom before porting it, all I did was make the changes in the build.prop for Verizon. It's actually a straight forward port. It was a lot easier than it was coming for older JTC devices that i ported roms for.

Hotspot is already unlocked by default. It is under Settings, More and Tethering & portable hotspot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Maybe someone who has successfully flashed the rom will chime in. I can't be the only one!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I just flashed it successfully this afternoon, still setting things up (I've never had to install xposed on 5.1 before, had to figure it out). VZW, DH's 5.1 firmware (came from his Rom), ext4 everything. First boot took about 6 min and I haven't had a problem yet.

My only question so far is does this come with a camera? Maybe I'm blind. If so, does it work with duo effects?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Whew, Glad you got it to work brother. Duo camera? Im not sure. there is a camera app. It's the stock google camera. Should be on the bottom right of the launcher. I'll check on duo camera.

UPDATE: Just took a picture and went to edit it. it had the option of HTC photo edit and photos. I picked HTC photo edit and it had the options for UFocus and Dimension Plus under effects. Hope thats what your looking for.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Alright, sorry I just got back. Yes, the Rom booted perfectly. It is running buttery smooth!!! Sorry man...

I never get good downloads with MEGA. It always looks better but does something weird.

Downloaded the second time with Google Drive. This time the Rom flashed.

Hey undarated, don't worry man. This thing works perfectly!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Awesomesauce! Thanks for testing.

This is awesome. Told you guys that I wasn't a developer! Lol. [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] if you want you can take over this thread. Working 2 jobs and having a family makes finding time to work on this almost impossible. I just wanna say thanks to everyone that took a chance and flashed my initial release. I'll be checking in periodically.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
I always prefer a stock kernel whenever its possible. Glad to here its working out.

I hear ya! I'm already vacant form my own threads, I also still take care of the AT&T S3 threads, and other various threads. I don't mind helping where I can so if you want to convert the OP to devDB and add me as a contributor so I can post updates and whatnot then I'll help take care of the thread.

VZW_HTC_One_M8_Lollipop_5.1_LMY47O.H9

I made a new .H9 VZW build so you guys don't have to flash a patch.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] roaringcrown:
Flashed and booted flawlessly. Only thing I'm noticing is slow wifi speeds. Any recommended firmware for this ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Just flash latest firmware... then reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ahpatel:
Are your partitions formatted as f2fs? That's known top cause problems with wifi on the DH builds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SigLover21:
Is there a screen calibration place in this rom? My keyboard setup seems to be a little off. Either that, or I'm a little off. LOL
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Flashed the new H9 update and viola no connectivity problems. I'm a little hesitant to mess with the stock kernel though. Anyone running custom kernel on new base?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
I'm using elite with no problems, but I didn't have problems on the old base either.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Running beyond stock v4.1 no z-ram. But I think would recommend the one with it. Anyways, it runs great. It is basically stock with only a few tweaks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Thx, installed and running. Any way you can share settings and what app you're using this manage? I really haven't messed with kernels since phones were dual core, lol!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
I know it isn't the answer you wanted, but I just ran it the way it is. If you want to use the app Kernel Adiutor (ROOT). Only change the governor, and i/o scheduler if you really want tweaks. If you change something else you may run into problems. That's why I avoided it this time around. Idk the governors or schedulers it has. I would use the interactive governor and fiops for i/o scheduler. On the top save the settings to boot. Reboot phone, then it will apply those settings everytime. My battery life and performance on the phone is already great without the tweaks, so I didn't plan on changing any values.

Hoped this helped...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
So is the custom kernel already configured differently than the stock one? It sounds like this is the case. If so, than I won't change anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Milltac:
This ROM is flawless as far as I'm concerned. I've had it for 72 hours without a single hiccup.

Thanks Enewman17
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icstars989:
Should this be a clean install, or just flash on top of your current rom?

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iPedrow:
How can I check that? I have no idea. Can you tell me how to check that and change the format?

Thanks!

About to install the new H9 patched build, so excited about this. Anyway, does that build have the latest stagefright patch?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MotoTurbo:
new build is running rlly smooth. Boot up didnt take long at all.. been waiting for a stock gpe for a long time :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jas88:
I ran the stage fright detector app and it shows as not vulnerable.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xecuter2:
Dirty flashing H9 results in com.android.phone crashing, tried clearing cache, phone/contact storage, phone cache, etc :/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Do0zman:
Wow Thats all i have to say about this ROM.

I was on DH 5.0.1 forever loved it but was not that stable. Ran DH 5.1 still awesome but super unstable(at least for me). Been wanting a stock rom for a long time. This is the answer. I flashed the H9, installed Xposed ARM 21 sdk, installed Gravitybox LP and boom.. The perfect rom. Only had it on for a day and already more stable and smooth than all the rest. Only thing im missing now is an audio mod and ill be set.

Can i just install the Viperone Audio mod over this?

Thank you for this!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Yep stagefright is patched

Did you also do Phone/Messaging Storage? Not sure what else to do other then clean flashing... it will probably be worth it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xecuter2:
Clean flashed and restoring everything now, so far so good :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Milltac:
Anyone know how to get the sense camera up and running on the .H9 rom?

Great ROM all around for sure. Just wish I could get better battery life :( So far CM has the best battery I've seen between GPE, Sense, and AOSP
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
I would love to run CM or something but every single one has an issues with AT&T. Signal is very erratic and is so annoying I've never been able to run one for more then a few minutes. They had fixed it right before they updated from CM12 to 12.1 in the last 5.0.2 builds. I wish I knew what the fix was. Going though the repo I couldn't find the commit to fix it. This is basically why we tried to port features into our doppelkanger GPE ROM. But the evolution of CM has made it incredible hard to port those features into the GPE base. Sorry for my little rant. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
No need to apologize, I get it. Thank God for devs like you and others though. Otherwise we'd be stuck with horrible carrier/manufacturer crap!!! As far as CM goes I had problems with nearly every build between cm12 and cm12.1. However since the 12.1 Milestone build I've only had one issue if you want to call it that - I had to change my DPI from 480 to 440 to get things to fit properly. Other than that, no issues at all. Snappy, lightweight, excellent battery life and devoid of BS apps! I'm on VZW though so I can see how other variants could have issues given the complexities of each carrier versioning. All Good!!

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

However.... There is one thing missing in this CM build that I would LOVE to have. Is there anyway to get the "always on" Google Now when you swipe right without using the Google Now launcher?? I love this feature in GPE but like the CM trebuchet better.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heyfrench:
Thanks - this helped me recover my 4G today; lost it not long after moving to the .H9 version of this rom. Now, if only I could get TWRP to find my backups...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
Only thing I can think of is after an FDR the TWRP folder is missing. Try making a backup of current ROM in TWRP so it can reset the TWRP folder>device ID folder then move your backup into the device ID folder. If that doesn't work I'm at a loss.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heyfrench:
That worked. I was half-way there in my troubleshooting - I had noticed the missing TWRP folder, created it and moved my backup from my SD card into it but forgot entirely about the sub-folder structure it creates. Did a backup of cache to quickly get TWRP to create the folders, moved the old backup into the right place and now I'm back in business. Many thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
No problem. Glad to see you're up and running.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JMuldrow:

I have been running the .H9 update with a fresh install and beyondstock kernel since you dropped it on us. AWESOME!! This thing runs great!! And battery life with this kernel is superior! Thanks for getting this to us!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
I am getting great battery life with the updated Elite kernel, is beyondstock better? Also I came from the DH Rom and it seems like my TWRP downgraded from the latest version to 2.8.5 when I flashed this rom and new firmware. Is this normal? Should I upgrade TWRP to 2.8.7? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Unless the firmware had a twrp image in it the ROM zip itself did not downgrade your recovery. But yeah you should probably update it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jskolm:
If Elite Kernel is working well for you I would say stick with it. It's a good kernel also. I just prefer how my phone handles beyondstock kernel personally.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
I flashed beyondstock and it is working very well also.

Alright thanks I will upgrade to the latest version of TWRP again.

The only issues I am having with the rom is battery drain when I have poor or no signal. My phone can eat through 5% in an hour while I'm sitting in class with no signal. Is there any way to reduce this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Airplane mode? Wi-Fi? Turn off background sync and Google's constant background Wi-Fi scan.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
For some reason I don't get signal or wifi while the phone is in my pocket in class. I would still like to get notifications though. I saw that there is an app that turns airplane mode on for a few minutes when there is no signal, is it worth using?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
To what end? If you don't get signal there then you can't get notifications anyway so what good will another app running do you? Unless you just want to automate the process of toggling airplane mode?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iPedrow:
Can someone tell me how to

check

if my partitions are f2fs, and

switching back to ext4

?

I need to check if that's making trouble with WiFi turning on and off.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
By default in twrp when you wipe data or format system it is ext4 so normally you don't have to do anything. The install script will format the system to ext4 during installation. The data and cache are the two that you might have to change if you did format it to f2fs.

Far as WiFi go goes nothing you can do will change the fact that WiFi will drop off during deep sleep. I have a GMS device with all the GPE firmware and it still drops off for me. But if you figure it out let us know.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jriquelme:
Woooww..

Pretty sure 4.1.0 is the latest

It just looks like there are two varients ofthe kernal for GPE. The name is slightly different and it jumps from v1.1.0 to v4.0 without interval updates. Just found it odd. Thanks though
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this ROM is AWESOME! The only thing that stops me from staying on it more than a few days is my inability to connect to 3g ever and the fact that LTE is flakey and goes out often. Does anyone have any suggestions besides an RUU? I don't have this problem with any other ROM. Also since I'm going to RUU, dies it makes sense to update the entire FW pkg that wipes internal? Really don't want to go down this path, but I really want this ROM to work for me!

When the screen is on I don't have any problems but when it is off after 5-10sec starts to distortion and slows down.

never had that problem. what kernel are you running and what governor and freq?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
Tried stock, beyondstock, lyapota all the same. Tried to change governor, scheduler, checked md5 and nothing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
That is a classic issue with the HK sound mod. Have you ever flashed it to change from Boomsound to Harman Kardon? If you did, then you have the HK adsp and that can be the issue.

Just flash the latest Verizon firmware from santod's thread and you'll be back to the right adsp.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Milltac:
Just want to add my two cents and tell people to flash the beyondstock kernal. Battery life is great on stock, superb on beyondstock.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
You were right! Thanks a lot! Everything is perfect now. Is anyone using some sense apps because I can't get them work. Is it still possible to run? I know DH5.1 has them but I want stock feel + 1-2 sense apps

If you have the issue even after RUU I would think your SIM card is fried. I was having issues with not getting LTE to stick, no matter how many different ROMs I tried. I even tried another SIM I had laying around... Then finally I went to a Verizon store and had them activate new SIM card (for free) and BAM! Instant 4G LTE.
