[Verizon HTC One (M8)] earlymorninghours:
This is ROM is easily the best experience I've had with my M8 since getting it. With my M8, LG G3, and LG Gpad I had been, for whatever reason, obsessed with the feature heavy ROMs and never found a stable one for any of them. About 2 weeks ago I decided to try a pure AOSP on the GPad and couldn't believe how trouble free it was. So when I saw this ROM, a stock GPE, I dove in. I'm pleased to say that I still have LTE and don't have to once again go through all of the RUUs to get it back. In about two and a half days in I had one instant reboot when I was using Solid Explorer as the file picker for the default ring tone. Not sure what what's at fault, but Solid Explorer has been releasing updates pretty regularly these days.

mr_bungalow, I have noticed the phone charges extraordinarily slow from the charger/cable combination that I normally use with it.. but my LG G3 won't charge from that source either, never has. When I put the M8 on the charger and cable I use for the G3, the M8 seems to go back to charging at what I would call a normal rate while using it and pretty fast when not using it and the screen off. I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to know about kernel options and the like to give any insight about the reduction in charge speed, but I have noticed it takes more effort now than it did last week for me when I was on RR 5.5.8.

I've been tossing everything I can at this ROM to find any sort of weakness that would prevent me from using as my long term day to day and so far it's been solid as hell. MM itself is a bit aggravating the way it handles sdcards, but that's out of the control of any custom ROM based MM. I'm sticking with this bad boy for a while now unless I see some pretty significant changelog items. Thank you very much for putting this out. I finally feel like I'm not fighting with my phone all day.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Totally. Feel like I have a phone reliable enough finally to stop fiddling with all day just to try and determine how to squeeze more battery out of it. This is great work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zphantom55:
I went through the whole ruu to stock, wipe with stock recovery and reflash rom thing that usually fixes issues with mobile data. However I still cannot receive or send mms. Any other suggestions?

Absolutely love the rom, runs like butter! But I can't use it without being able to get mms.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
what did you flash first after the wipe with stock recovery? I did the same as you but installed enewman17's 5.1 ROM and then clean flashed up to 6.0. Everything works for me on VZW. (thankfully)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tinylightshow:
Looks like I'm in the same boat with MMS failing to send. I'm on the OP MM build (v3). Didnt have any issues on the build I got from the other thread that had the aroma installer, so I'm not sure what's different.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tinylightshow:
I figured out the MMS problem! Guys, just reboot into Safe Mode (Hold Vol Down while Android is booting) then reboot normally. Don't know why, but now MMS is working.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Try booting into safe mode, then rebooting normally and see if that fixes your MMS. It worked for me :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
Does that hold after a normal re-boot ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tinylightshow:
It seems to. Just sent two MMS using Google Messenger and they both went through without a hitch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
If it helps anyone, the pesky Wifi scanning selection is now buried in the location settings menu. Go into location, toggle the upper right menu and deselect. Should help save extra battery. they moved this from the previous wifi menu section. Hope this helps!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jhnewton84:
Awesome job on this ROM so far!

One thing I've noticed, is most anywhere there is a three dot menu, the animation is pretty juddery. Anyone else see this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattyd3:
I have noticed this, its literally the only (very small) issue I've seen on this amazing rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GTX1:
Anyone know if any dev's are working on a kernel for GPE 6.0? Would finish off this port nicely.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Can't until kernel source is released. . .
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
[ROM] [VZW Port] M8 Google Play Edition | Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58K.H6

Well work faster and release an official one Andy!! God, what do we pay you for...

But yeah, can't wait for an official one. I need my V4A :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hi Guys!

I can also confirm MMS works with Google Messenger! That makes me dumbfounded though. I usually use Verizon Messenger and MMS does not work with that.

I wonder why it would work with one messaging program and not the other. Weird.

ROM is great though. It's a bit of a cringe coming from a fully loaded smooth Sense experience, but I wanted to test drive 6.0 and I can say this is as stable as it gets!

Edit: Are there any verizon specific fixes we should flash, or are they all baked in now?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boylez:
Sense Camera

For anyone interested, this flashable zip gets Sense Camera/Gallery working on this rom. It is the a9 version so it's more limited than our stock sense camera.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
To fix this turn off "window animation scale" in dev options. It's the first option in animation scales. Don't know why this fixes it and makes the animation normal, nevertheless my three dot animation now slides out as smooth as butter.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Read my response to jhnewton. That should resolve the issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattyd3:
Can confirm that worked. Thanks!

Edit: however it makes the unlocking animation a bit juttery and turns off the keyboard animation, so six in one, half dozen in the other. But good to have choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LibertyMonger:
music seems to skip a lot when streaming on bluetooth.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Might indicate Bluetooth problems in the ROM. My wife's phone flat out doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0, so it skips a lot while streaming. So she doesn't use it.

With the proper drivers, our phone streams to Bluetooth just fine, but I've heard some ROMs have Bluetooth streaming issues early in. Official kernel should take care of that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Yeah MM seems to have some Bluetooth issues.... Again... 5.0.1 had issues 5.1 seemed to fix them, now 6.0 has some hiccups. In general its not the kernel. The mods to the boot.img while kinda hacky won't effect performance or anything like that. The dtb.img is the device tree binary which is a set of instructions used to check hardware at boot. So the dtb.img were using has all variants board info in it, so the bootloader is satisfied and moves on to load the zImage, the actual "kernel" which is unaltered. Now your device boots.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vazersecurity:
My bluetooth drops the connection completely and thinks it's still connected. Have to perform reboot to reconnect.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GTX1:
I'm having a bit of a headache with SD Cards in portable mode (not internal storage). In recovery, I can use TWRP's file manager to navigate to "/" and I can see /external_sd just fine. If I'm in the OS, I can use Play Music to play the music that is on my SD Card just fine. Same thing with pictures and with wallpapers.

Yet If I go to use a file manager in the OS, ROM Toolbox Pro is what I usually use but I've tried everything, to just view my SD Card or to sideload an APK on there, external_sd is gone. I'm guessing with how SD Cards are used in Marshmallow they may be hiding it from us intentionally while still giving us access to it via certain applications?

Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
It should be mounted as /storage/

For example my card is mounted as /storage/2315-7849.

I use ES File Explorer which makes this pretty apparent.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GTX1:
Yep, you were right. It was in /storage. I looked in there before to find a symlink or something of it at least, saw the folder with a bunch of numbers and never checked.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I know some of those words. Which I suppose is why I am not a developer, just a user.

You guys, developing the MM GPE for the Verizon M8, you're using the international as a base... does the international have different Bluetooth support? There's a Sense MM out there, too, and supposedly it's working... but that would only be based on the One A9, the only HTC with MM at the moment, and that would be even farther removed from the One M8.

I appreciate what y'all are doing. No or sketchy Bluetooth means I couldn't use it as a daily driver, but I'd like to try it out. Maybe sometime next week. I really hope HTC comes through with MM for this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LibertyMonger:
My bluetooth works great, except for the occasional split-second skip in songs. It used to happen to me on an older ROM on my M9 but not quite as frequent.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattyd3:
I use Bluetooth daily on this rom without any issues. I stream in my car and to headphones while at work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
So either it varies by phone, like this stupid TWRP/encryption issue I have that so far nobody can figure out but affects almost no one else... or it varies by Bluetooth device. So, I don't actually have a Bluetooth-enabled car stereo; I have this thing that plugs into my AUX port. And it has a 2A charger. It's really nice. Works great with my current ROM, a Sense 7 ROM. Well, sometimes when I play it, about 30 seconds in it will skip once, I get a half second of silence, and then from there it works perfectly.

Anyway, I'll give it a shot next week. VZW_HTC_One_(M8)_GPe_Marshmallow-6.0_MRA58K.H6_Rooted_v3.zip is the latest, right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
I don't have any issues with Bluetooth in my wife's car, but my Sony sbh50 headphones pause or skip/hiccup when first starting a song then is perfectly fine after that. So it probably has a lot to do with the device your connecting to.

v3 is the latest upload. Seems that build is working fine for everyone so need to mess with anything if its not broke.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thelolotov:
ROM Toolbox has unfortunately not been maintained as of late, and almost everything is broken for me on Marshmallow...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
I am fortunately having zero issues with bluetooth. Stream to car and to JB Micro wireless speaker.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
Gsam has my display battery drain at 5%. Anyone else have this problem of wierd battery drain. I'm going to reflash and see if that fixes it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thehotboy:
Been streaming music to my home theatre through Bluetooth for the past half an hour or so with 0 issues so far.

It's a shame that my m8 already unofficially has MM while my brand new S6E can't even get root on Verizon ?? damn Samsung!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] piyushkohli97:
After some time of usage on every boot the phone starts hanging(real bad). Is anybody else facing this issue?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Mine shows 2% after 13 hours. Frankly I'm not sure how reliable gsam still is. But I do notice some odd battery drains too. I've been holding off on a clean reflash. Let us know how you do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
I clean flashed and gsam still shows the same results. Before I clean flashed when looking at battery stats in Android settings miscellaneous was always about double the drain of screen. After reflashing I no longer have an miscellaneous drain, but overall battery is about the same, not much different, maybe worse some days, than 5.1.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] p2kmafia:
Do you still have to calibrate batteries these days? When my phone gets to 15% it insta-dies and drains really fast through the first 20%.

Also notification LED doesn't work
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
I've read several posts on Reddit over the last few years that says no. However, some have claimed that calibrating does work in fixing issues such as premature shut-off. Regardless of whether it's just a placebo effect or whatever, I've made it a habit of "calibrating" all my devices either intentionally or accidentally either monthly or bimonthly. Considering that I generally push my devices down to the last straw, I really can't tell whether it does work or not since I get random uses and drains sometimes here and there. It wouldn't hurt to try it if anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Izeltokatl:
This was de-bunked or rather no longer necessary since 2012 and was confirmed by a Google Engineer working on the platform.

In another thread apparently m8 gpe kernal source has been released.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GTX1:
Can you post the link?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
It's up on the HTCdev download page

SS below in case it doesn't show for whatever reason
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Kernel is 196MB?

And someone told me that the Google Play Edition devices were US only, when in fact they have never worked on the national CDMA carriers (Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular). That screenshot says the GPE M8 was Worldwide (WWE), not USA as they show with the A9 below. Weird. And off-topic — I do apologize for that — but seemed worth noting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
That's actually what I thought as well originally, but when I filter it for One M8 GPE only, they're all WWE or Google WWE, so not sure about that, but I guess it seems appropriate being that the M8 is GPE and it's unlocked when you buy it from Google so that's my interpretation of it would be that it'd be WWE since it's not US-only as it supports international bands as well.

It being 196MB came off as weird for me, but then again, it's from a user standpoint, I know next to nothing about the inner mechanics of it all.

Picture for reference
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] enewman17:
Yeah the kernel source is always larger then the actual compiled boot.img

While they were only sold in the U.S. the rest of the world is GSM so any GSM device could be considered world wide, America is the odd ball with CDMA. The GPe is a GMS phone that supported various types of LTE and 3G, the phone has the exact same hardware as my AT&T branded or the international model. Unfortunately Verizon and Sprint radio chip sets are different. They do support GSM for word wide use, they are still very different.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
How is everyone's battery so far on v3? I still am getting somewhat quicker drains than I'd expected. It's like the phone does really well when dozing or not in use, but then seems to suck a lot of power (more than would see normal %-wise) when used. I had a full charge at 6am. Did some google music, map for about 25 mins....and now I'm at 28%. Doesn't seem right.

Anytip? I've got screen brightness on lowest with adaptive. Location off when needed......I thought I'd be getting 1 day plus chargers on this ROM and I thought some others may or do.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Droid0351:
If having trouble running this ported rom try CM 13 for HTC m8. It is running awesome.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
This is a great rom and I thank the devs but without a good kernel such as BeyondStock it does not perform as well as Lollipop just yet. After a few days of running this rom I was forced to downgrade back to .H10 due to performance and battery issues. While on .H10 with BeyondStock I was getting between 4 and 5 hours of SOT easily, this rom and kernel struggled to give me over 3 most days. I can't wait until this update matures and better kernels are developed. Thanks for the continued efforts to all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
What's battery life and mobile data like? Reliable? What's the best way to flash it and ensure you receive the nightlies. I've never done CM before.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
you could ask that in the cm thread and probably get a better answer from people actually using it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] p2kmafia:
My main source of battery drain is WiFi. Battery stats reported it as using over 20% of my battery yesterday. Any way to fix this? I use it at work and at home so like 90% of my day. I don't understand why its higher than my screen (which had close to 3h of screen on time)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
Anyone have a link to a kernel that works with this? I can only seem to find lollipop kernels.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tinylightshow:
You won't find one for Verizon, yet. Not until they release the kernel for CDMA devices :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
Thanks for the info :) I will stop my hopeless searching now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Just announce M8 MM 6.0 coming soon to unlocked versions before end of year, carriers early next. So, maybe soon we'll see that elusive VZW kernal!

EDIT: Unlocked versions are rolling out now. Does that mean v3 can be completed with proper kernal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
Either way this ROM is amazing compared to what I was previously using. Was on Venom rom as I could not find a working GPE at the time I got my M8. LOVING THIS GPE!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Using 5.1 or 6.0?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
6.0 - Its just do damn smoooooooooth.

I had to update firmware and TWRP beforehand tho. Was way out of date.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
How's your battery life....if you're VZW, how's your LTE? I had to go back to 5.1 due to battery. The 5.1 with Beyondstock is insane. Also the Viper audio...really miss 6.0 tho.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
LTE seems to be working well. Speed test 25/14 (same speed as my work iphone on VZW sitting next to it). battery seems to be ok so far. Have not been out and about enough to judge yet.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

However I do miss being able to adjust notification volume independently of ringer volume.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Never mind ^ Independent volume is back with an xposed module.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
any issue with xposed? which version are you using? I had experienced problems using it with Amplify on 6.0. Ditched that and greenify. Both a bit redundant with Doze.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dancrosoft:
Using xposed-v78-sdk23-arm. No issues so far. I cannot get APM+ to work which is annoying. I miss the power down options.

Got it working. No option to reboot to recovery but its nice to have a reboot button again. Thanks!

Guessing you all still have WiFi dropping when screen off, or no?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Just tapped my screen, wifi on. Though I do think I've seen it happen to me once or twice but nothing I noted as an issue. Does it happen every time for you?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iPedrow:
I used to have a lot of wiffi drop when screen off when using 5.1 GPE DigitalHigh edition

Tried lot of things trying to fix that but actually nothing worked, the only "solution" was going back to stock sense

I flashed this rom and everything works great. I was on stock 5.0.1 sense, just flashed this and that's was all I needed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Did you ever flash another rom after 5.0.1? I had lte issues and reflashed the ruu then 6.0. That solved my issue. Interesting yours is wifi related.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vazersecurity:
Yeah the WiFi would drop every time. I RUUed back to stock a few days ago, but I think I may try this ROM again. Will let you guys know how it goes. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
I just went back to the 6.0 as well. Giving it another go to see how battery is. I like 6.0 too much to leave.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TenderloinShadow:
So what's the deal with the battery drain I keep hearing about with this ROM. I guess it's pretty serious. Any hope of a custom kernel in the near future, or not?

Some folks here have recommended CM as an alternative, but the last time I tried CM on my Verizon M8, I couldn't get Navigation to work. That's an absolute dealbreaker, especially because I just moved to a new state and my phone's GPS is the only way I know how to get around right now.

So is navigation working on CM13? Or not? Any hope for better battery life here?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
I dirty reflashed last and it seems to be OK. I think a kernal will come. Not crazy about CM13 as the idea of nightly installs, etc is a bit too much for me. I need stability where I don't have to play with my phone too much. This ROM has great solid Wifi, bluetooth and lte for me. Willing to deal with a little more drain to benefit from the greatness of MM....and the OP's work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Izeltokatl:
I'm not experiencing any real significant battery drain. I worked most of the day at a conference with a 45 min phone call. Emails off and on. Screen shots with edited images, and text messaging from 8am to 3:30. I was still at around 60% battery life. I can't complain. But note I modify all my apps to ensure apps don't run unless I tell them to by modifying startups etc.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
Do you accomplish that using just the native app setting parameters in MM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Izeltokatl:
I use 3c toolbox pro.

Is it normal for the first boot to be more than 15 minutes? I just flashed it almost 20 minutes ago, and it's still on the bootanimation...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] J_awn:
It varies from person to person (or rather device to device). The 3 times I flashed this ROM on my device, it took about 10 minutes for the first boot, but when my friend flashes it, he gets about 20 minutes. I say the break point would be 30 minutes tops if not 25 minutes, then you might want to consider reflashing it.

I didn't do this, I don't even know how I would check to see which file system I'm using, but is this possibly the reason that DiskUsage says I have 5.5gb of free space, but also 3.8gb of free space in "System Data" ? Sorry in advance if I'm retarded.
