Hi guys who are still using the m8.

Anyone tried out the last available builds? Like:

lineage-17.1-20210423-nightly-m8-signed.zip

I am still using the build 20201030 from Oct 2020 because newer builds from beginning of this year which were reported as laggy and unstable.

Would be great if some one could share an update.

Cheers.
[One (M8) Android Development] JG2021:
Hi everybody,

I'm not sure if I'm at the right spot/thread here.

I've installed LineageOS on a M8 and made a backup with TWRP of the original ROM before.

Now I wanted to restore the backup, which seemed to work properly but after the backup TWRP says if I'm sure I want to reboot because there is no OS installed...

Does anybody know, how I could get my backup to work?

Thanks in advance!

Jakob
[One (M8) Android Development] @kel@:
Which ROM did you install?
[One (M8) Android Development] JG2021:
I installed the most recent official LineageOS build.
[One (M8) Android Development] JG2021:
I installed the most recent official LineageOS build. (Sorry for doubble post - I couldn't figure out how to delete my last post. I had forgotten to reply to the post...)
[One (M8) Android Development] @kel@:
Try this way: Flash this immediately after restoring the Lineage 17.1 backup and you will be happy http://www.mediafire.com/file/a454nnpp8l7afbr/fix_rootfs_label.zip/file
[One (M8) Android Development] JG2021:
Thanks for your reply. Maybe I didn't describe my problem properly. I had the original HTC Rom Marshmellow on the M8 and then installed LineageOS.

Before I installed Lineage, I did a backup in TWRP of the HTC Rom and now I would like to restore the Stock Rom (HTC) instead of the LineageOS. So it's not a Lienage backup I tried to restore.

Any ideas how to get the TWRP backup restored? The phone can't reboot after restoring the original Rom and says "Are you shure you want to reboot, no OS" (or something like that - I'm back on Lineage atm)
[One (M8) Android Development] tejljr:
I created a swap file on my SD card to prevent the system from crashing on multiple occasions. I can find the post with the instructions on how to do it.

Also, will this device see an official Lineage 18.1 build?
[One (M8) Android Development] Dynamo_anik:
May be not, high chance we will not get 18.1 build.
[One (M8) Android Development] 3mel:
this is looking like an OK place to leave my phone now. thanks for the rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] 3mel:
I had something similar trying to restore an ancient first backup I made just before having to flash this as an emergency measure. my total shot in the dark guess would be that later editions of TWRP can't restore backups made by earlier versions.

at the very least someone will feel compelled to refute my idea and provide a more fitting explanation.

as an extra detail, before I tried to restore the Sense rom I backed up the CRDroid I wasn't too happy with and that wouldn't restore either. I had no OS twice in a row. I had to upgrade my TWRP thru TWRP to successfully flash Lineage. also TWRP has logs that you can ask for from the advanced tab I think. that would help getting a diagnosis. it might still have your last adventure recorded so try booting in and getting them.
[One (M8) Android Development] Dynamo_anik:

Can anyone tell me why the WiFi keeps searching and doesn't show any networks nor connects? I installed the Lineage OS 17.1 on my HTC One M8 Single Sim Euro Version from this thread an hour ago but WiFi doesn't work. What should I do? I like everything else about the ROM.

It looks like my previous comment did not tag correctly, my bad.

7- sound speaker have lower quality than original rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] tejljr:
I can’t do OTA updates with this rom. Whenever I install the updates in TWRP, it sends my device into a bootloop. I have to erase everytime I do an OTA update. How do I fix this?
[One (M8) Android Development] thrik:
Had issues with TWRP too, just flash and use the LineageOS recovery instead. No issues since.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Try the LOS 18.1, every thing it's working there!
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
In the meantime LOS 17.1 is outdated. I used it quite a long time and it worked pretty well but I was bothered by the memory management issues with freezes and hickups since a few months.

I recommend Android 11 used by the official AICP 16. My biggest concern were the banking app I use but if the phone is not rooted this is no issue at all. It runs smoothly as daily driver and the battery drain is definitely not higher compared to LOS 17.1. The updates happen on weekly base.

My M8 is a european one, no carrier specific.

Try it https://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/#htc

Just unlocked the bootloader for the device but for some reason after flashing LineageOS recovery, I can't access the recovery. The screen stops at Entering Recovery and reboots. I can access the recovery using the latest TWRP but once I'm in I can't flash LineageOS 17.1 because I'm getting the Error 7 message.

I followed the steps on LineageOS website precisely so I don't understand what's happening.
[One (M8) Android Development] fela4:
You may need to do This , should be good to go after, also what version of TWRP are you using ?
[One (M8) Android Development] i n f a m o u s:
Resize the partition? I tried that already without any success. As far as TWRP goes, I'm using 3.5.2.

By any chance, does my outdated fastboot or bootloader have anything to do with not being able to flash ROM's? I'm currently using HBOOT 3.16 and I cannot download any firmware's or drivers off HTC's website which isn't helping either.
[One (M8) Android Development] fela4:
I was using KK bootloader even for 18.1 and it was working fine. I just updated recently to the 6.0 , but because the OP notes that it's based of 6.0, it might be in your best interest to update and try again.

[One (M8) Android Development] ben_2777:
Hi everyone,

M8 (single SIM, unlock bootloader and TWRP installed using fastboot)

I come to you, I don't kow where to dig anymore. I managed to install the ROM (lineage-17.1-20211022-nightly-m8-signed), using TWRP(twrp-3.5.2_9-0-m8) + GAPPS (open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20211027).

Procedure:

1- On TWRP "advanced wipe" selected everything but not "internal data" --> Wipe

2-install custom ROM

3-install GAPPS

4- I selected "Wipe" on the left before rebooting system.

ps: just like this video for illustration

Lineage start perfectly, I am on the "1st page" language. No SIM card I pass this step, then I choose a wifi netwok to check for update "connected". After 2-3 min I got an error. It is like I am connected to WiFi but no access to internet. Do you have any idea, please? (I am stuck a this page, I can't do anything but reboot)

Nota: I tried 2x differents WiFi network same issue

Nota: I tried installing GAPPS after rebooting fresh LOS install it doesn't work neither.

I installed LOS standalone and wifi work perfectly (no hardware problem, no network problem)
[One (M8) Android Development] ben_2777:
For GAPPS.zip: There have been 27/10 version, 28/10 version and now downgrade to 21/10 version. it seems there is issue with it.

Fixed with version available the 30/10/2021 on internet. Thanks developpers!
[One (M8) Android Development] K3li:
You should give this build here a try.

Odd Solutions Downloads

updater.oddsolutions.us

It comes with the Google stuff baked in so you don't have to flash any Gapps. Think of it like a Pixel ROM but with Lineage as a base.

Haven't been experiencing random reboots or lockups like with most LOS based ROMs. Plus it's version 18.1.
[One (M8) Android Development] ben_2777:
Thanks for the advice. I hesitated to go throw others more recent LOS version. By reading forums they seem to be not released as this one. I am just looking for stable version. ( I "refresh" old dad smartphone, no need for much, but stable one). Is it this ROM that delete TWRP during flashing, and I have to re install it after?
[One (M8) Android Development] K3li:
I hear you about finding a stable LOS build. I know how frustrating it can be to find a ROM that just works.

No this ROM doesn't remove your recovery. I'm using it with TWRP just fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] ben_2777:
So let's "flash and scroll". Hopefully you just help me to go to my next smartphone, to build.
[One (M8) Android Development] raullgg5:

It seems to be end of support for LOS 17.1.

I've noticed that the safety net status is failed.

Is there anyway to make CTS profile match passed without magisk module?
[One (M8) Android Development] Timmmmaaahh!:
Magisk canary + DenyList is your friend... No guarantees though, a module like Universal SafetyNet Fix may still be required (at least makes things easier). I've had massive success using Magisk module 'Zygisk - LSPosed' and its SudoHide/Hide My Applist/XPrivacyLua submodules. Fools literally everything: banking, mobile payments, government authentication, etc.
[One (M8) Android Development] tejljr:
I have DenyList & Zygisk on, plus the universalsafetynetfix module installed and it works fine for me. Only thing is, the Play Store may end up saying that your device is not certifie (meaning you won't be able to download apps like Netflix or Disney+). To fix that, install the MagiskProps module and change your device fingerprint. I usually change it to either the HTC 10, the Google Pixel 2 or the Google Nexus 5.
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
HTC M8 disappeared from LOS site. No more "officials" available.
[One (M8) Android Development] fela4:
Likely because most legacy devices have been dropped ...
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
I know. Last but not least is the AICP option. A nice custom Android 11 Rom, still updated once a week.
[One (M8) Android Development] K3li:
DivestOS is also an option. Other than the camera issues, it's almost perfect.

Plus I like the fact that it's hardened by default, isn't signed with test keys, has a built-in ad blocker, gets security updates more often than the average custom ROM, has useful additions like the captive portal toggle or features you'll find in ROMs like GrapheneOS.. like the network permission toggle.
[One (M8) Android Development] AndriiT:

[One (M8) Android Development] Laissezfaire22:
I have an issue with the Lineage. I've tried both the nightly version of 17.1 (which can be found directly on the lineage website https://lineageosroms.com/m8/) and lineage 18.0 (the unofficial version). In both cases the Wifi doesn't seem to work. It's got a weird behaviour. It sees the networks, I try to enter the password, it says that it says the networks, but it refuses to connect, it simply ignores the command. Really annoying. Perhaps can give a hint as to what might be going on.

I've also tried cdroid 6.12 (android 10 - https://crdroid.net/m8/6), but this doesn't boot at all. Previously I had the crdroid with android 7 and it worked quite ok. But I wanted to have a newer version of android, as the phone is still pretty capable. On galaxy s4 mini you can install android 12 through lineage, and that's a much less performant phone :)

Any ideas are welcome!

Hi, does the dual camera work? Thanks for all
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
The dual camera only works on original HTC ROM.

There's no app - as far as I know - which is capable to use the second cam.

Amazing speed.

But

1. Quick settings does not work.

2. Gesture does not work.

3. Search box in setting does not exist.

4. Developer option don't enable after tap on build number.
[One (M8) Android Development] Xinto:
Everything mentioned here works for me, maybe corrupted file?
[One (M8) Android Development] bgcngm:
Did you make a clean install? Do you really think that I would release a build, even such an early beta build, if there were such kind of "issues"?
[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
I can confirm that after flashing the build , then resizing partition and flashing the BETA-Pico-gapps (not full), the Google Playstore is there.

BUT:

1) Mobile Data doesnt work anymore

2) Managing Statusbar shortcuts doesnt work anymore either

3) a lot of settings are not available anymore

It seems that flashing the pico-GApps changes the build and appearence, and changes smth in the system.

Fela4, do you have those problems after flashing the fullsize-GApps?
[One (M8) Android Development] Dynamo_anik:
download gapps from here> https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm/beta/20191006/

mobile data works for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
Thx a lot, will try out.

Anyone has got any Titanium Backup version to run on this build?

Latest one doesnt work for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

Clean flashing the ROM with these GApps (without rebooting in between) appears to cause the issues someone mentioned about the search bar missing, quick settings not working, and dev options not enabling. Using the older Beta GApps seems to work fine, or rebooting after flashing the ROM and then going back to recovery to flash GApps. I think it's an issue with that Beta GApps zip that may be deleting too many stock ROM files prior to the initial boot.

TWP
[One (M8) Android Development] fela4:
I don't have any of these issues
[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
That was it, man! :highfive: Thanks a lot. Ye, it seems that one needs to reboot phone after flashing rom, and THEN go to recovery again and flash GApps. It works like a charm now, nothing missing.

Still have to try out root (thru Magisk). I hope it wont break anything. Seems stable tho.

UPDATE: Magisk (canary version) works great, I have root. Titanium Backup starts up as well now, after installing its add-on as well. BUT it doesnt want to restore any apps. Freezes and force-closes. Any ideas?

And btw: any chance to remove the search bar from the front page?

[One (M8) Android Development] cexcells:
I think that we have the old problem of the install shrinking the system partition. So after doing the initial install reboot to recovery and resize system before installing gapps.

What do I have to do to generate useful logs of said chrome crashes? I get the report that is part of the Android crash report sent to Google when an app crashes, but how do I collect that info and share it here? In the meantime I'll go poking around and see what I can find.

I realize the above puts me on a mini-hotseat, and I must confess that I restored my rooted HTC One M8 to Android 4.4 a while ago and have forgotten/lost instructions that enabled me to get TWRP installed. I've done it before, though, and can do it again if anybody wants to give me a link to a WORKING instruction set that applies to the HTC One M8 Verizon variant.

Blessings, all!
