Hi x-ploded, with regards to installing newer builds and assuming you're on the latest official TWRP, I've found it to be an absolute breeze and no need to reinstall apps & settings etc. From Settings/About Phone/LineageOS Updates the process is automated.. hit Download & then Install, TWRP will fire up & install the update then reboot. Job done & no loss of apps etc.

Hope this is helpful.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Yes it's called a dirty flash, but the updater should do this for you anyway. Settings > About Phone > LineageOS updates and if the recovery/ install script doesn't work the the download is located using TWRP at /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_data

Lexar 1333x or a Samsung Evo+, these two have never had any complaints, yet some toshiba cards do not work for internal storage even though all settings are identical. The two mentioned will also enable app transfer when formatted as internal and will be fast enough for the OS not to complain. :)

I just installed the apk from apkmirror.

HDR seem to work on first photo but for the second it closes the app.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Yep that means it's not working, a simple test is to put your finger over the second lens and see if it makes any difference.

Is There any settings in google dialer for vibrate on call connect
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Try this google search,

https://www.google.co.uk/search?rls...bility+vibrate+call+connect&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

about 4 or 5 results down there is someone complaining about the feature, on the other hand there are apps available sight impaired people might find this useful hence the "accessibility" search.

Not sure about google dialer, but on the stock lineage dialer you can find it in "Sounds and vibration" in settings.

NFC is working - should it be?

I took the plunge and installed the latest nightly onto my trusty M8. I did a full wipe and after some initial teething issues its all working perfectly (except AGPS..).

I don't really use NFC but since Android Pay is getting more common now I was hoping it would work with this ROM as by default there is no root which I assume is the main reason Android Pay didn't work with CM13?

After reading the thread it looks like Android Pay won't work as NFC doesn't work, however I noticed the NFC noise when I put my credit card on the back of the phone just below the camera. I tried it a few times and it definitely recognises it. I therefore installed 'ReadID - NFC Passport Reader' from the play store and proceeded to read the NFC chip on my passport and to my surpise it worked :)

I then attempted to add a credit card to Android Pay/Google and it all worked. I am not sure you even need the Android Pay app as there is an option in the Google settings for Android Pay which is where I added the card - with the Android Pay app I can see a nice picture of my Credit Card... I just need to test it now...

Andy
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Which version are you using? Because the last time I checked android pay would take the card, display the picture but then refuse to use the NFC.

Anyone problem with video chat applications?

I'm not really into video chat, I had to do it today and I realize if I want to use video and try to use the chat at the same time the video will stop. Just can't run in background I guess. Facebook messenger, Viber, Skype it's all the same. I don't remember this to happen to me on Android 6 or 5. Bug maybe? If yes do u out think guys would and it's possible to fix?

Just to specify, this is the log where encryption hangs at "encrypting". I then rebooted the device, and no surprise, the data is corrupt, so I reset the storage and restored from Titanium Backup.

Yes I know, but I want cm as the default file manager. and always occur error as well; (E: unknown common) when I install cm14.1 in twrp or cwm Recovery.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] justinchao740:
i don't know whats wrong, but personally i don't like cm file manager so i use es file explorer. The reason that i don't like it is because it's maped out weirdly and everyting is hard to find. But with es file manager everything is straight forward.

I used to love es file explorer. It was so multifunctional and rational. Then it started to bloat with adds and try to take over my phone with unwanted pop-ups and new crap features. I uninstalled it and vowed never to use it again. I'm learning CM file manager, just the basics. When I learned the algorithm I find it works for me and I am happier because I no longer have es to make me angry. I would like to see it work.

Hi, new to the thread.

I installed cm14.1 and tried to use HTC camera. When I take a picture in bokeh mode, it crushes. Also in htc gallery there is no option for ufocus.

I am on the latest nightly (20170330-Nightly). I haven't tested Android Pay yet - I just added the card so I am yet to test it. I was surprised that the 'ReadID - NFC Passport Reader' app worked as this uses NFC. I thought NFC just didn't work with CM14.1 on the M8?

Andy
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
I have just tested Android Pay on the same version (30th April), I got this message about it not being able to work because of an unlocked boot loader/ custom ROM. The NFC icon is back in the status bar though, I checked and it was hidden off the screen until you chose edit. I may lock my boot loader and see what happens. **that may be a stupid comment, it may be because I am also running the addon_su rooted extra**

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Verdigo:
None of those will let me transition from Cyanogen to LineageOS unfortunately. Unless Im doing something wrong. Are you saying that when a build type is listed as weekly that it is an experimental build allowing me to transition?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Ah, I'm afraid you've missed out http://lineageos.org/Update-and-Build-Prep/ gives details of the experimental build (it was only called that because it had an overlay with the word written all over it, it was a transitional package to allow migration). Dated on 20th January, it says that they would remove the option in "two months time" so unless you can find an old mirror, you've missed the window and would need to try a dirty flash (after backing up) or start from the beginning again.

The main crash happens the second time HDR mode is used on the normal gapps version and the HTC version from the play store. I'd be interested to hear if HDR works with this or if covering the second camera with a finger has any effect?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieHoleDepravity:
I've just installed it, covering second camera has no effect.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Does HDR cause it to crash?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieHoleDepravity:
Indeed, it crashes on taking a 2nd or 3rd pic.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
I have a stock M8 and the difference with HDR is quite dramatic, there is an element of CPU post processing, I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow when I activate a sim. There's also a wealth of difference between the Stock ROM's camera and the HTC one from the play store so I'll grab some screenshots and try and find some versioning information.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Verdigo:
That worked just fine. I flashed that first then to an older OS version from February when it was still around just in case. Then updated through the OTA updates without a problem. Thanks!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
HTC original camera app vs non-working Play store version.

A promised, I've got a stock HTC M8 which has never connected to a network or had a sim in it, so play store doesn't work and this is the information on the camera (using an OTG USB cord to transfer images and screenshot). The first thing is that HDR is certainly working on stock M8 and the version is one of the screen shots. The photo's not great but I used to be a photojournalist, so set up a old barbecue base to provide a deep shadow on a sunny day to highlight the difference in rendition of shadow details and the greater range HDR can catch and be useful rather than those horrendous over saturated images you see. The plus point on this would be that taking a daylight blue sky portrait, a common amateur mistake, leads to deep black shadows in eye sockets and HDR would dramatically increase the available details. So we have the first two, HDR_off and then HDR_off, would personally increase the contrast on the HDR image but there's more options to do that as a straight contrast reduction on the non-hdr image.

The next three images are screenshots showing the features the stock sense camera, the standard "cameras", a shot of some grass just to show what is on the screen by default, a quite dramatic set of preprogrammed filter effects. Hidden away are features to alter exposure, anti-shake, quite a lot of quite nice things including full manual which I'd use if it weren't a telephone and too tricky to adjust quickly. In capable hands then the camera could provide better results than one of far greater resolution, less noisy images and a greater EV range (the range between the lightest and darkest bit the camera can record in an image). I remember my Xperia Z2, massive megapixel count on the camera, terrible noise in the images which was all but impossible to remove. But hey, it's only a phone and I use the camera just to take photographic "notes" like prices in shop windows.

The last image shows the HTC version number for this camera, I am unsure as to whether the filters are part of the base build or for example are linked into some kind of gallery effects. Possibly someone could find this version as an apk and see if it runs on nougat.

Next post will be the HTC camera from the Play store on my lineageOS daily driver where the HDR does not work and the difference in features.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] :
This Camera is what came on the phone with Sense 6 when it was launched.

The Camera we can download from play store is the one that came with Sense 7 and got available for M8 after Marshmallow update I think.

Much the same way like you can't download the latest version of HTC Camera from play store which came with Sense 8 and HTC 10

With time, HTC have changed the functionality in the camera and stripped down things ams added some new things with incremental sense versions. Like you asked about filters in Camera app.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Except that HDR seems incompatible with lineageOS, I will at some point take the stock M8 and see if it will accept the play store app it's supposed to be my development phone hence the purchase of a second one. An ideal world would be to be able to find the older APK and see if HDR worked on lineageOS. One of the more interesting filters makes pictures into dots for the case.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] :
HDR and other camera functions don't work because it is not a Sense or Google play edition rom.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Yes the ROM is broken even though the app was presumably placed in the play store because of the developer edition they release in certain countries, and it mentions total compatibility with the M8 (pictures from the play store description attached.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] x-ploded:
Regarding Camera App topic - that´s the way it is.

I have another question regarding quick charge. Could this be dangerous for the battery? Seems default with LineageOS. Not that I am having panic, just asking. Is there a way to disable it software wise?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Leon:
Last time when I was using Los there wasn't such function in the default kernel. Anyway probably you can use some kernel related app to disable it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Okay on the Stock M8 phone on Android 5.0.1 sense 6.0 software number 4.16.401.13 the camera app from the play store version 7.30.581119 works perfectly in HDR mode. I enabled wifi. Now the manufacturer update wants to be applied. Interestingly Google Maps fails to install/ update.

Not really sure, I accept that HDR doesn't work, interestingly though the filters in version 7 of the camera app are not there on a stock m8 either.

No, not in any way unless the battery has a manufacturing fault, the science is solid and involves testing the voltage / current and increasing until there's a drop which means that is the most the battery can handle and it throttles back. There's a lot of qualcomm 2.0 info on the web, there is some heat generated but what do you expect? The battery's being charged.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] il_vosa:
Phone crash and reboot

Since the first time I installed this ROM (a few months ago) I'm experiencing some troubles. At least once a day it stops working, and reboots itself; then the battery is 20% less than before. Even with Rom's uploads nothing has changed. It doesn't happen with other ROMs. Any advice?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Use another ROM :D

Seriously, recently there was a flurry of reboots from some updates in the middle of last month, battery life does appear slightly down but not by 20%, but if you are able to run the same apps on a differing ROM and get better results then change, these are still nightly builds even if they are released weekly, this is not a "stable" release.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
I have now performed an OTA on a stock M8 for the last UK released version from HTC, it is running sense 7.0, Android 6.0, Software number 6.12.401.4 I can confirm that HDR is working fine and that the camera used is the version from the play store. Interesting the filters have been moved to the HTC gallery app and later I will see if installing that has any effect on HDR for lineageOS as there is an element of "processing" (says so after taking the picture) possibly they moved the HDR to the other app.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Interesting, with the HTC gallery app installed HDR works and saves once then crashes completely the second time. Now in previous testing it never saved the first photo, not the most exciting examples but just taken so that I could have a deep shadow and check HDR and I really need to clean the lens off and not store the charger in the cupboard under the stairs, I just have no shame. :o

First picture no HDR, second picture has HDR. Possibly I may install other Sense apps from the play store to see if anything else is influencing the camera, after all lineage is less bloated and a key component may be stored in some of the original software.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] ravish_919:
So [MENTION=7981445]CutGlass[/MENTION] what is your final conclusion of the Camera quality on Lineage/Nougat based ROMs using the HTC Camera? Is there any difference in picture quality when taking pictures with the HTC Camera compared to the stock camera which is provided with the Nougat ROMs? Would love to hear your input as I see that you have extensively tested it! Thanks!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
Actually I never considered comparing the quality :D

I'll do some tests with the two phones under a variety of differing lighting conditions and program settings, modern digital cameras have post processing to cope for lens aberrations, noise and default sharpness, contrast, saturation settings so they'll be a lot of variables. I'll also compare file size as jpeg is a lossy format which would give an indication on quality if you need to re-edit the photo. Probably take a couple of days. I may even try flash to see how the exposure is set up as too close objects and bad exposure settings leads to bleached out faces. Interesting challenge, thanks :good: Hmm, speed of use would also be relevant to the majority of people, e.g. see something interesting, how long does it take for the phone app to load and fire? Yep fascinating question.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ravish_919:
Wow! You've gone way too deep! ? Sure if you're willing to do all those stuff and compare it and test it out, it'd be wonderful! And about the camera opening times the HTC Camera takes quite sometime to open when compared to the stock camera provided in Nougat ROMs. But do keep in mind that we don't have the manual camera in Nougat to work with! If you are willing to test I'd suggest you to test it with Auto Mode thoroughly instead of the Manual mode (Just a suggestion)! Thanks for the work you're doing man!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] CutGlass:
I would use a camera in manual, I don't think the average person does though so I won't test it or there is another manual camera app on the play store that some months ago I have a play with. I sue my camera as demonstrated, for notes but you never know when something newsworthy is going to happen, or even if the kids do something funny for the family album and all you've got is then phone, so it's an interesting exercise. I'm going to commit heresy here. My son has an iPhone 5 (I think), he won a regional photo competition because we were out looking for locations for the theme on a really dull rubbish day so left the proper equipment in the car, suddenly the clouds opened and the statue were trying to find an angle on was bathed in this glorious golden light, so he took a snap on the phone and though we spent many days at different places with "serious" equipment and me acting as his assistant the phone photo was the one that won.
