Hello fellow XDA users!

Now I know that this device is and always was crap and I know it's a bit old but hey.... why forget about it!

First I would like to thank [MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] for publishing this recovery. Especially since the links for CWM and TWRP are dead.

I would like to present you my very small Philz theme I made. It has a lollipop theme (Or at least it should resemble Material design) with a new background and new soft keys/nav bar. It also has a new warning logo. Functionality is identical and not different to [MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] 's recovery since I just changed the look of it.

BEFORE YOU FLASH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW!

I am not responsible for any damage dealt to your device even though a brick is impossible if you do everything right. Also, I am not responsible for any kinds of Zombie outbreaks or a 3rd World War.

OK! I know you guys really want a screenshot

Instructions to flash :

1. Make sure you have another recovery installed before. Since the links for cwm and twrp are dead. Thankfully [MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] send me a working older philz that you can flash via odin (link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdg4eopnag...a.tar.md5?dl=0). There is still a cwm build for the galaxy ace that you can use to at least flash this recovery (Link here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347823795)
Instructions for odin flash here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506697)

2. Boot into recovery. Plug your phone into your pc

3. On your pc open the adb shell

4. Depending on what recovery you use you should do the following :

4.1 OLD CWM : adb push <your philz zip> /emmc (or if /emmc doesn't work do /emmc/). Then go back and select install zip from sdcard and then select from internal sdcard. Next up select Philz and flash it

4.2 OLD Philz : Select Install zip and then install from sideload. Then type adb sideload <your philz zip>

5. Once it's done flashing reboot to recovery and you should be good to go with the themed philz

And finally to the download link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347823787

have fun ;)

Hey [MENTION=6584695]CTXz[/MENTION] just to know, I'm not builder of Philz CWM, original builder is [MENTION=985241]erikcas[/MENTION] . I just have a backup link to his latest Philz CWM, and maybe I have a link to CWM which can be flashed via Odin. If I find CWM I would provide a link.

EDIT: CWM build 6.0.3.3 which is pretty much stable

link broken please fix ...
[XDA Assist] EvanH123:
My friend gave me his Verizon Note 2 that he bricked (I dont know how) and asked me to fix it. Every time i try to flash a ROM it either fails or 1 of the 2 messages "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (The phone isn't compatible with Kies) or " System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." (It has no contract and the warranty is up) Can someone please help me fix this issue? Thanks.

Edit:When i flash something and it fails it says on the phone "SW REV. Invalid magic string"
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Hi

"SW REV. Invalid magic string" could mean that you are trying to install an older firmware (downgrade). Try again with the latest firmware available for your device.

Good luck.
[XDA Assist] EvanH123:
So you are saying to try and install the latest version of android for it? (I believe that's 4.4.2)
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Exactly. Some Samsung firmwares (bootloader) don't allow you to downgrade. No problem to flash the same Android version or a more recent one.
[XDA Assist] EvanH123:
If you can, please provide a link because I have the tendency to pick the wrong ones :)
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Here you go ;)

Yep same rom new thread. I'm not gonna go crazy with AROMA and mods but I figured it was the best option for an optimal user experience.

New sim and all is well. Just wanted to report back because a few other users experienced similar issues. Hope this helps someone else!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NessDan:
Just wanted to share my experience so far!

I flashed this firmware from DigitalHigh's ROM: M8_FIRMWARE_VZW_001__4.17.605.9.zip

After, I wiped completely and installed your ROM + Beyond Stock Kernel.

Pulled out the SIM and started my phone. Did the initial setup over WiFi and got my phone back up to speed.

I shut down, put the SIM back in, and turned back on. Got 3G.

Only other issues I've had so far are hangouts crashing occasionally and something happened with Google Play Services (on second boot, I got a message saying that it's not compatible with my device and to contact the manufacturer.)

Nevertheless, it's been good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
This is the same as the last Rom posted by undarated, right? Just asking because I flashed that on my primary slot in multirom and I didn't pull my SIM card and everything's fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Yes it's the same, he didn't have anything to do with my build so... I started my own thread. I'm in the process of building an AROMA version too with a completely stock option and a custom install with a few options.

I'm glad to hear everything is working for you! :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] weisguy:
Just wanted to check in and say thanks for this - I've been using it for 3 days now and it has performed flawlessly. I really appreciate the ability to install the stock kernel - I always seem to get lag with any GPE-style ROM for this phone which tries to mod the kernel, install 57 hacks and mods, etc. I also installed xposed to do some minor tweaks. I'm pretty sure this is going to be my daily driver. Hoping for a new version once the latest stagefright patch is released.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
OK, put together that AROMA build. Need some testers to make sure everything is good. Pretty sure I nailed it though.

[MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] how is the aroma build different from dopplekanger?

Sent from my HTC One M8 (vzw)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
It's striped down significantly... Since there is no mods to the ROM, you can install a stock ROM with no mods or the stock ROM with add ons like sense camera, viper audio, xposed, debloat, su, init.d, busybox, stock or beyond stock kernel, Kinda what I thought the most popular things one would want in a stock ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I haven't had time to flash this ROM but will be very shortly.

I ported over the Lyapota MOD Pack to this ROMs files.

Thought I'd share. :)

Lyapota thread

The thread says the Aroma installer has 3 choices:

First item for those who have SkyDragon ROM or reflash MODPack to change options.

Second item for those who have Stock rooted ROM and flash MODPack first time.

Third item for those who have pure Stock ROM and flash MODPack first time.

You want the Second choice.

Third choice would be if you don't have busybox/SuperSU it will add these, only difference between 2 & 3, so if you don't want busybox,SuperSU choose Second choice as well

Ignore First choice as it has no reason to be in the installer (for us that is) but haven't had time to remove it yet.

ROM is fully functional. No issues, no bugs, great performance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aaronpw0621:
Did advance wipe in TWRP, on latest firmware .9, chose full wipe in aroma, but got stuck on bootanimation. Any ideas as to why?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Well it's been off and on again, but only initially after the restore. I'm hoping that it was just a one time thing. Gonna give it a few hours and report back.

Edit: wish I had better news to report however problem still exists :(

Went to DH from this and lost 4G and MMS. Not sure if it was broke here too but there does seem to be some issues. Are 4G and MMS working here?

Beyondstock issue?

Hi All,

Love this ROM. Tried initially with Hypernova 1.5.1 kernel. worked well but noticed low bars on LTE and battery going too fast (the same as normal stock rooted)....

Flashed Beyondstock and was blown away. but today for some reason upon restart, my screen would not register any touch whatsoever. Tried a reflash and wipe of Dalvik/cache...same thing.

Tried both v 1 and v 4 of Beyondstock. not sure what is causing this? Any ideas?

Is there a precise version of Beyond to flash? It was working for hours and now it won't?

PS: No issues with MMS here and 4g....yet.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Not sure if I'm using wrong version or if it's because I'm coming from hypernova, but I tried flashing BeyondStock-M8-Kernel_v4.1.0-Lollipop_GPE_CPTB.zip and same issue screen touch not working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Good to know it wasn't just me. Thank you.

I switched to lonelyx 3.4.0 and so far so good.

What are you running now for kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Hypernova has been treating me very well, although lonelyx is also a great kernel. Would like to also give beyondstock a run too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Noticed loneylx was laggy on the UI. Went back to hypernova. Looking good so far. Runs smooth. Still think Beyondstock is better battery from what I saw for that short time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] surfmly:
I am currently running 5.0.1 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/wip-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906

Rooted, with s-off (if not obvious).

Any concerns or additional steps/suggestions to flash ROM? I have noticed some lag issues on my current ROM and hope moving to this .10 will help resolve. Would dirty flash from this .9 work OK?

Thanks for the work on this ROM, and from the helpful posts thus far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Well... First off this is a Google Play Edition ROM not Sense. In short this won't help you. No you could not dirty flash this ROM over the Sense ROM you are using. If you like stock Android I invite you to try it out though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] surfmly:
Yeah, I was thinking that as well. So to be able to try this out, I would need to do full wipe? Sorry for the basic questions, just like to confirm first. I have flashed ROMs and rooted my devices for years, but am not always completely up to speed on all the technical details and have learned it best to try and have the answers prior to trying or else you end up with more work (having to restore backups, etc).

Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
Do a swipe to wipe before flashing. IIRC during the Aroma setup, there's an option to wipe, if so, just do a wipe again through Aroma.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
When a dirty flash isn't an option. The only other one is to clean flash. :). (Unless already on the ROM and the dev includes an option for update)

Enjoy the ROM, it's great!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steezy123:
Does the slow motion camera work on this ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Haven't ever used it but easy enough to find and try.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Andy,

Think I'm on to something. Tried a clean flash of this ROM again. Opting for full wipe and BS kernel when given the option in aroma. A few different tries and the screen just hung on the floating balls upon reboot. Went back to TWRP, did a Factory Reset. Gave up. Reinstalled my Nandroid backup from TWRP. Phone worked went to bed.

This morning, I tried again. Flash the ROM but this time chose all stock options, rooted, and with STOCK kernel. Wiped system/cache only. Perfect install.

Went then and flashed the 4.x of BS kernel. Perfectly working. Then flashed the mod pack so I could get back batt % and what not...worked like a charm.

You may want to to give the ROM a fresh flash and make the same selections to see if you arrive at the same destination?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Has anyone used this ROM with the Xposed mobile radio fix and without?

I've been using the ROM without it and decided to try out Xposed and am using that fix and will post my results in a few days.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
I was without it for the first few weeks, then used it for a week or so. I don't think it made any difference, so I uninstalled again yesterday. I do notice some battery loss from the mobile radio active, but the module never seemed to change it. I still easily get through a day and have around 50% or more battery left, so I don't really care to be honest.

also, since you've mentioned a decent amount about the kernels you've tried, I'll share my findings as well...

I got the best battery with beyondstock, but it's missing a couple features I like such as double tap to wake. I was never super impressed with lonleyx, but it wasn't bad, just nothing stood out as any better than other options. hypernova is the best for performance from what I've found. everything is smooth and crisp, but battery was slightly worse than beyondstock and elite. I'm running elite now and like it the best. almost as smooth as hypernova and almost as good of battery life as beyondstock, and it also has all the features I use. so for me, the best all around.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Much appreciated the response. I'm going to clean flash and make a nand with stock kernel so I can try the others. I've been on hypernova and get really good battery but want to try beyondstock and elite to compare. Is this the latest elite? 3/29/15

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/elite-kernel-gpe-sense-lollipop-kernels-t3013471

And latest beyondstock is 4.1.0 iirc
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
I'm not sure on beyondstock, I just used the one in the aroma installer. latest elite is from 8-23...

I have it running just for the sake of having it. If there's any difference, it's not as noticeable compared to PowerNap and Amplify together. I'll see how the weekend goes in terms of normal usage with and without the module.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
I feel plagued with my GPE radio issue - this is the only reason why I can't stay on the best ROM I've ran on this device. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
You on Sprint or Verizon...? Unfortunately I'm not sure what to do. If your on Sprint have you tried the build by Captain_Throwback http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762336 Not sure what is different but I'll look at it.

Also in the thread look at the end... seems lots of sprint people have issues. he has a few things to test.... Post 2103, 2108, 2113
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately I'm on Verizon. I'll still take a look at the thread and see if there is anything that might help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sucks you have this issue. This ROM is sick.

Have you tried getting a new SIM card?

I recall you did do the factory reset with stock recovery?

Also you are on latest VZW firmware??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
I agree, it's the best I've had minus this one issue "for me" that ends up eventually forcing me to go back to debloated stock sense. I've had 2 different sims since first coming to this ROM and tried RUU with factory recovery reset twice. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Damn, very unfortunate.

I'd assume since you did RUU you are indeed on the latest VZW firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
It is man because this ROM is everything i want in an OS and Yes, I'm on 4.17.605 .9
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
I am on the DigitalHigh version and have had no LTE/No Service issues for a few days. Only MMS is broken but I don't use it anyway.

From what I've read new SIMs don't help. VZW pulled my phone off the network and then added it back. Helped but still was flaky. VZW said Lollipop phones must remain on Global.

What fixed mine was Dottat's RUU 5.01 S-Off and let it boot. Then reboot into STOCK recovery and Factory Reset, Then reroot, TWRP, and profit.

Leave the Network Settings alone. Just leave them the way they are. Don't manually change anything. I don't think they do what they are supposed too. These are ported ROM's so changing the connection stuff may break things.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I suggested this awhile ago, unfortunately didn't fix his issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Trying a third time just for "the charm"!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Certainly won't hurt. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
How does stock kernel compare to those others. On most roms I've always had most success and the easiest time with stock, since I didnt have to tweak it. Which kenrel did you find ran the coolest thermally?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
Re connection issues. Have you tried flashing santod040's All-in-One catch-up firmware too. Can't hurt.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Well something interesting happened this time... I used dottats RUU that was mentioned in the post and this time I got an update error which forced me to reset from stock recovery and redo RUU. I'm not certain, but I think something was wrong with the original RUU I was using. I think it was Tigerstowns. Well no problems so far, but I'm still at home on WiFi. Real test will be when I leave the house. Will report back later today.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Gonna hold of until I see how this RUU goes first.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sob372:
Someone suggested the ruu, stock factory reset, then run ruu again. Have you tried that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Yep. Actually had to do 2 RUU's due to issues with the first. So ended up with 2 resets a well. So far the problem has not resurfaced! *fingers crossed*

Has anyone tried layers with this ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
to use layers, the rom needs the necessary commits. I'm about 100% positive they aren't in this rom, so layers won't work.

Since lollipop to marshmallow is less work than kitkat to lollipop, i doubt it will take more than a month. I expect them to be done by the end of this month or next month.

If not, then I honestly think htc needs to get off their lazy a@#@$ and work! We have waited so long for these crappy updates, my god.

We didn't even get the 5.1 update. The phone came out last year for crying out loud. If it weren't for these forums, I would have gotten a new phone already.

HTC, quietly disappointing
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
This is Verizon we're talking about, so you're off by like 6 months or so
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheNewNEXUS:
Verizon, 6 months... lol. To be honest, even Verizon wasn't 6 months off when doing the stagefright update so...

I want to keep my hopes up.:)

But i know verizon and their slow a$$ updates, so I may just flash a cm build before then. Gotta try the marshmallow.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
On the AOSP/GPE side of things, it's not a huge update at all. Marshmallow was going to be Android 5.2, but due to the negativity around Lollipop, they pushed it up to 6.0.

I put it on my wife's 2013 Nexus 7, and the biggest change is the first-run setup. It's a darker shade of blue and the wording is changed. After you enter your email, when you go to enter your password, it shows your profile pic. Doze doesn't seem to give her tablet any better standby time at all. I put Naptime on it, but I don't really know how to configure it.

Honestly, Android has been treading water this year. I wouldn't say it's sinking, but it's not blowing anybody's socks off. The big deal is Android Imprint, the fingerprint reader. Any phone that doesn't have that isn't seeing any exciting new features this year.

On the Sense side of Marshmallow, HTC One M8 users will get Sense 7, which has better themes and the ability to add a fourth navbar button, of four or five offered, including Screen Off. They can all be rearranged, so if you prefer the Samsung Recent-Home-Back paradigm, you can do that. But of course many of the Sense-based ROMs already have Sense 7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
[ROM] [VZW Port] [10-8-15] Stock GPE 5.1 LMY47O.H10

Verizon: due to the utter revamp from Sense 6 to Sense 7 from scratch, we'll need about 6 months to implement this upgrade to Sense, and because there's such a huge difference in runtime between Lollipop and Marshmallow, that will supplement an additional 3 months for the marshmallow update. Thanks for your patience

That'll be Verizon's excuse or reason for releasing Marshmallow by the time N is released. You saw it here first folks.
