looks like HTC removed it: Noticed after updating that it wasn't there. Then I looked at the OTA update and saw that it deleted all of the face unlock related files. So I asked a HTC rep and here's the chat: http://i.imgur.com/9i0DXsm.png

EDIT: And here's the smart lock screen which shows Google Play Services as up to date by on body detection being available: http://i.imgur.com/L3vuUI7.png

Thanks for this. Will try it out once there're more concise flashing instructions. I've had issues getting DH's GPE to run ever since 5.0.2 so still hesitant to jump ship from CleanROM
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvtiv:
WTH?!? That's really lame. At lease I know I didn't eff anything up on the flash, but it makes me wonder why HTC removed it?!?! Thanks for looking into it Dev. REally liking your ROM!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I'm not sure if I can do anything to make it more streamlined. It worked perfectly the first time and every other time for me even while testing.

Who knows what HTC was thinking. By this point, we shouldn't be shocked by anything the OEMs do. I honestly do appreciate the kinds words! I don't take any credit for this rom at all. All I did was give the people who wanted the option of having a stock GPE rom without the other mods a chance to experience it. The strange thing is, I was thinking like a lot of people do right before I posted the rom for download. I felt that noone would want a stock experience besides me. I'm glad I took the chance anyway.

I hope you guys enjoy the rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SchmediumTux:
Hope this helps

I don't know if this will help anyone out, but here is my experience:

- Coming from Liquid Smooth (latest)

- Wipe System/Cache/Dalvik Cache

- Endless boot (spinning dots for 20 minutes)

- I tried re-flashing several times, to no avail

Finally got it to work by:

- Wipe System/Cahce/Dalvik Cache

- Installed DH GPE 5.1

- Rebooted to recovery as soon as welcome screen came up

- Immediately DIRTY FLASHED this ROM

*** Booted in under 4 minutes ***

I'm not sure exactly what happened to make that work, but for those of you that may know a little more about this, maybe my solution will provide some clues for the ones who aren't booting.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS ROM! I'm an old-skool Android guy, and just got back into flashing, and I LOVE the stock android experience!

Welcome aboard!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Sorry for the delay. I'm making one last go at your ROM. I installed DH's GPE from 4/19 (the only one I had on hand, I delete ROMs that don't work out well for me) and then immediately flashed yours over it. All I wiped in between was cache and dalvik.

I'm abandoning anything past Android 5.0.1 regardless of whether it works, though. I just wanted to test it so as to not totally waste your time with my previous posts. And you got it to boot on yours, and others have as well, so don't take my posts as indication of failure, or even negative criticism. I appreciate your work on this regardless. It's awesome that those who have gotten it to boot have this as a choice. But for me personally, 5.0.2, 5.1, and 5.1.1 ROMs have just performed poorly on my phone. Others have had better luck, and I'm happy for them. But in my opinion, the One M8 is generally not a good phone to flash ROMs on. As opposed to, say, the Samsung Galaxy S3. A much poorer phone overall, but it ran pretty much whatever you threw at it. No S-OFF either, just flash a custom recovery and then flash whatever. For me, ROMs after 5.0.1 just slow to a crawl after a few days. But again, it's probably just me. They say no two phones are exactly the same. So mine's buggered somehow.

Okay, it booted! Yay! You know, I think I am going to run this for a few days. For one, I want to see if it slows down on me. Maybe it won't, being completely devoid of third-party tweaks. Should be interesting to find out.

Thanks again for this.

Oh... I can streamline the process further, vs the one just above. Flash whatever DH 5.1 you have (4/19 worked for me). None of the Aroma options matter, but I un-ticked a few I don't like. Chronus, and the Xposed stuff. When it was done installing, Aroma asked if I wanted to reboot. I said no, then wiped cache/dalvik, and flashed your ROM straight away. Did not boot DH's even once. Figured it wasn't necessary to build the cache for the included apps. If only the system base is needed, building cache shouldn't be. I'd say it took 6-7 minutes to boot this. I did not set a timer, and in fact was just about to give up when it popped up.

It said my SIM card needed to be activated during setup, though. I've never seen that before on a GPE. Sense ROMs try to activate the SIM card, but always say my number is already activated. Could be that this ROM was expecting an international SIM card? I dunno. But I rang my wife and got first ring, so I know I'm good to go on Verizon. Not that I really doubted, but I had to be sure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Glad it finally worked out for you brother. I've been running the rom for well over a week now with no issues. Give the system sometime to settle in and get comfortable. You may be shocked how well this thing performs. Of course, every phone is different so keep your experience with the rom coming. It's greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
I have realized that with this rom, I can't get 3g. Usually when I lose lte, it goes to 3g. Instead I get no connection.

I am running latest firmware for verizon. I also have the digital highs 5.1 firmware as well.

However, when I press airplane mode, my lte comes back. This normally doesn't happen at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
so you guys who are flashing DH's rom and then this without wiping, are you not ending up with the crap from his rom leftover? I guess it would just be whatever his installs to the data partition (it looks like system is wiped when flashing this rom).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
I switch over to 3g 1x and nothing just fine. So I'm not sure there.

Always a fresh install for me. I still wipe 3x to make sure its clean. No issues to report on my end
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
ya same here. it looked like a few people were mentioning dirty flashing though. I was just curious because it seems like the whole reason to use this is to avoid all the extra crap, but if they're dirty flashing, some of that crap is going to linger I think...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Are you running digital highs firmware over the carrier one. This really blows. I don't know why its not working. So lte will always work without a doubt. When I switch to 3g, I get no connection, same with 2g. I am mind boggled.

if you can please tell me what settings you use. Thank you for the ROM though. It is nice and stable. This is the only problem I have faced.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
No, not at all. However, if when flashing DH's ROM, in Aroma, you can have Google's apps installed to /data instead of /system. Don't do that. Then everything gets overwritten.

[MENTION=2220049]undarated[/MENTION] — you might try getting up with Digitalhigh, Loserskater, or one of the other GPE devs. I know I'm forgetting a few. There's the Skydragon ROM, and then there's another one that was big on Verizon. But DH is the man when it comes to GPE, and generally a nice guy. Maybe if you put your heads together, you can figure out what's making your ROM partially depend on his (others didn't need it).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
That's a good idea. I may have to do just that. The fact that our roms only have GPE in common is what has me stumped. While I'm at it, has anyone else had any issues with not switching to 3g or any data or reception issues??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carloswii5:
I dirty flashed and when it booted went back into recovery and just factory reset to remove the leftover stuff, if any.. What kernel does this have by the way?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Maybe because I came from doppelkanger my data connections bad. I don't know. I honestly use both lte and 3g alot. LTE more, however being able to use 3g would be very helpful.

I looked at the kernel you were running. You were running elite kernel, if I was not mistaken. I somehow have the stock one. Maybe that has something to do with data connection.

Anyways, thanks for working so hard.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvtiv:
I just manually switched my cellular network settings to 3g and I had 0 bars. Though, that may be because of the building I'm in in downtown Seattle. While checking that, I tried to switch preferred to LTE/CDMA and it always wanted to switch automatically to LTE/GSM/UMTS. Seems to only work when Gobal is selected...Which is fine with me as LTE is pretty strong all around Seattle.

Also, FWIW - I almost NEVER dirty flash a ROM, and would never recommend anyone to do it themselves. You may need to wipe manually (twice for good measure) but as the old saying goes, "no wipes, no gripes"

I did come from DH GPE 5.1 8/3 build, but I wouldn't think that would have any impact on a clean flash of Undarated's ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JMuldrow:
So after doing some searching and boot looping lol, I have Xposed working with this ROM!! Everything is running great now! Thanks again.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
3g works fine here. I tried switching it manually and it worked fine. I've also been a few places were it went to 3g automatically and back to LTE later and everything seems to work as normal.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
What kernel are you using. I don't know if it is the kernel or something. If you clean flash this... 100% stock, there is no 3g. I live in a place with both 3g and lte. When I turn 3g on there are no bars, none. But lte works fine.

I need to have 3g and 1x work. It first has selection for lte, 3g, and 2g. But none of the bubbles are filled. If you click on any of them, it will turn on data. However, if you look to see which mode your on, it changed to showing global, lte/cdma, and lte/gsm/umts.

This happens if you clean install I guess. I wiped data, internal data, cache, and dalvik cache. I flashed it over digitalhighs, and loserskaters. Both had the same effect.

I am currently running it clean, with the same issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Sorry for the delayed response, I have a life that I have to participate in too at times :eek:

I'm using the kernel that came in the rom. The same one that everyone has downloaded. Like I've said, I've changed nothing more than what was necessary to function properly on Verizon. No issues here on my end at all.

I will admit that I did go into the secret dialet mode and switch to band 6. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I also doubt those settings stick after clashing a rom which I've done and I've been on the same flash for well over a week now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
I have been running this rom ever since the 13th. It has been stable, and everything works. Except for that weird 3g problem. I don't know why. It doesn't make sense. I have flashed it only three time. Once with a clean flash. Once after doppelkanger. And once after digitalhighs gpe rom. All having that 3g problem. I am sorry if I am wasting your time. I have also tried *#*#4636#*#*. That still doesn't fix 3g. I can only get lte to work. It is so strange.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
You're not wasting my time brother. Just letting it be known that I can't beside the phone and computer all day. That's all and no worries.

The 3g bug you're experiencing is not something that I have had happen to me personally so I'm not able to speak on it. The rom itself runs pretty much flawless for myself and that's the type of experience I want all of it's users to have. Don't take this the wrong way and don't think that I'm blaming you because I'm not. I have to say this though, what you're experiencing as far as 3g goes is the only complaint I've heard about it. So that makes me wonder if it's a device issue more than a rom issue. The reason I say this is because I can literally watch my phone switch to 3g in certain areas and also watch it switch back in others.

I can't remember exactly when but I do remember in some skinned versions of android, the oem signal bars would show a better signal that stock android. So in order to erase all suspects I would flash my phone back to completely stock to see how it performs then. It's just suggestion. Of course it brings a smile to my face knowing that people like what I have provided but, for your sake I would want to be sure it's not my rom.

If you do decide to start all over from scratch and it works out that you want to try my rom again, myself and the other users will be here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Alright Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about going to stock and seeing how it performs. Once it sticks fine, I'll be back. I don't know why it happened. Out of the many roms I flashed, the 3g problem occured in this one. I guess my luck just ran out.:crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
the kernel that comes in the rom. I didn't change anything. also, I did a clean flash. not seeing any of those issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
It could also be the users NV partition is corrupt from flashing ROMs. The NV partition is a low level partition that holds radio information that is not changed flashing ROMs or even radios. The fix is pretty easy for HTC devices. Just flash the stock ROM and stock recovery, boot to recovery and do a factory reset. This will reset any corrupt data and hopefully the users 3G problems.

This is what this community is all about. I'm glad this hasn't turned into flame throwing
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Hey there, how did u get xposed working? I've installed the app but when I go to flash the framework I get an error about not being the correct framework. For some reason it thinks the file I'm flashing is sdk22 and tells me I need sdk21 which is the correct file that I'm flashing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, no dice. Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
I've been following your thread for a few days now and I'm just doing my part to help out. Once I get a few days with nothing to do I'm planning on flashing this ROM and testing it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Hopefully you'll find the experience a good one. It actually is a very stable rom. I haven't had any issues at all. Let us know how it goes when you do decide to flash it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I got the same error when I came to this Rom and flashed exposed myself. I assumed that I had downloaded the wrong file. I went back, download a new copy of what I think was the same file, and it flashed fine. No problems since.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Droid0351:
I have been running this for a week and noticed camera does not save to sdcard.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] johnwaco:
Did a clean install and it bootlooped before setup. This happens to me quite often when flashing roms so nothing unusual. Forced a reboot and it went to setup and everything is working fine so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
You're the lucky one! I tried again and still no luck :( I tried installing both v70 & v71 sdk21-arm. Could it be my firmware? I'm still running sense most up to date FW.

Try this from my Dropbox account. It needs to be sdk22. This works for me.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
That worked! Guess it helps if I use the correct file. All good now, thx!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I don't think Google Camera can. Not sure. HTC Sense Camera probably won't work.

What I'd recommend, use QuickPic as gallery, and move the photos manually. Real easy to do as long as you have at least one picture in the SD card camera folder. Open internal one, select all, move, choose SD camera folder.

Still running good. Xposed is tempting but I'm trying to hang with just root. If I want all the tweaks I could just use Viper. Which ain't a bad place to be, but I'm digging this ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Droid0351:
I used this exposed module to fix the camera to save to the external sdcard. I also used sdcard fix from the market so some of my apps can see the external sdcard.

Oh yeah, I had to fix SD as well. There are about 50 apps that do this. I like JRummy's, mainly because I'm familiar with his work. Pretty sure they all do the exact same thing. A couple might show you an ad, too.

Anyone able to connect to Verizon without being on Wi-Fi? I'm not able to. I get an ! over signal when not in Wi-Fi. I can get calls but can't get data.

I am using the firmware from the RUU, for 5.0.1. I'd hoped to avoid the experimental 5.1 firmware because it's unofficial. Do I need it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] johnwaco:
I get data and calls fine but I'm on dh's 5.1 firmware.

No issues for me. Only issue is not connecting to 3g.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Anyone else able to connect to 3g? It seems that when lte is not available, i have no signal, not even 3g. I've messed with mobile network settings to try and force it to connect with no luck. Other than that, no issues at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I'm on 3G right now. I haven't made any intentional changes relating to signal. It just works for me.

I'm on Verizon and its on global.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Thx! One last thing.... U on sense FW or DH modified GPE??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] johnwaco:
On dh's 5.1 firmware. Only thought that affected WiFi but I could be wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
I think you're right, just wanted to make sure all things were equal.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I was having some signal issues. Went to a Sense-based ROM. Full RUU and everything. Still had issues. I wonder if Verizon is working on their network this weekend, causing random issues for all. Though, you'd think that would be more widely reported.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Just some feedback: I was having the endless boot issue as well but didn't report it because I'm using multirom. I wanted this as secondary and gpe is sometimes finicky with that.

But, I decided to try what others have succeeded with and flashed DH's gpe to a newly created secondary slot, never booted it, wiped data, dalvik & cache and then flashed this, and then rebooted.

Came up in a little over 5min and I'm posting from it now.

Extra details:

VZW 5.0.1 firmware

Twrp 2.8.7.0 for multirom

Running this as secondary on internal

Viper 4.5.1 with BeyondStock 4.0 kernel as primary.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] undarated:
Just checking in before I clock in for work. Glad to see almost everyone is having success with the rom and are helping each other out. I hope everyone is enjoying the rom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Just an FYI, hypernova 1.5.1 works great too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jskolm:
Decided to give this one a try... I was running CleanROM and just wanted something else.

This is running awesome! I updated to buck's latest kernel ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62487407&postcount=427 ) and everything is smooth!

Added in DH's Sense camera and gallery. Smooth....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Are u able to connect to 3g? That is the only reason why I went back to sense. Some places inside my office only get 3g
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
I have no problem connecting to 3g or with the Lte/3g/WiFi handoff
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Do u mind sharing your setup? Kernel/Firmware/Xposed etc??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
I'm running multirom v31 with viper 4.5.1 as primary and this gpe as secondary. Flashed it with twrp 2.8.7.0. Running the stock VZW 5.0.1 firmware with hypernova 1.5.1 gpe kernel. No Xposed installed at all.

I did have to flash DH's gpe to the secondary slot first in order to get this one to boot at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Hmmmm... Not sure why, but my signal bars icon is flakey and often shows no cellular signal. I've never actually seen it display 3g on this rom either. Wish I knew the cause.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
You try flashing DH's 5.1 firmware? Can't hurt, and you can always go back.

Worst case, back up your internal storage and do a full ruu back to stock, factory reset in stock recovery to restore your partitions and try again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
What is the best kernel for this rom? the updated 5.1 Elite Kernel or Hypernova?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Depends on what you want to do. Elite & Hypernova have oc/uv options and more tunables but don't necessarily give better performance over time. I've been trying all of them out but keep coming back to BeyondStock 4.1 for stability.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
Which kernel provides the best performance and battery life? can you link me to the BeyondStock kernel? Thanks
