20201026 build

Hi all

I update to the latest version 20201106 but having some lags.

Does anyone have the 20201026 version ?

Thanks a lot !! :)
[One (M8) Android Development] cexcells:
You can also do it from twrp if you download the. img version and select flash image.
[One (M8) Android Development] A n d r 0 i d:
After much testing, i've found that any dirty flash of this ROM causes severe lagging, especially coming off the lockscreen.

The only way I'd recommend installing it is a full clean install.

Hello,

please can someone help me ?

I have M8 which when i turn on, automaticly goes to bootloader.

In bootloader i tried factory reset, normal reset

but still it goes to bootloader.

It wont go further.

So I have copied this ROM to sdcard, and i try to install ROM from sdcard.

But it says invalid...

can you tell me how to flash rom from sdcard ? and which rom works ?

Also when i am in bootloader menu, on the top of the screen says: locked.

what that means ?

Thank you
[One (M8) Android Development] OGdroidster:
Are you using twrp?
[One (M8) Android Development] Lt_Columbo_87:
No :(

this is only where I can go, please see:
[One (M8) Android Development] A n d r 0 i d:
Go here for unlocking your bootloader

https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

and here for twrp

https://twrp.me/htc/htconem8gsm.html

Google is your friend, there are plenty of guides out there.
[One (M8) Android Development] OGdroidster:
You have to unlock the bootloader and then flash twrp recovery over stock recovery. Follow the links the person gave you earlier. But if you are using Verizon then HTC dev won't do anything. You would have to use the sunshine app to unlock the bootoader. If your not on Verizon then use the links the person earlier gave you. Now I have a question can you boot into your stock ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lt_Columbo_87:
Hi,

I solved the problem, i have downloaded RUU for my M8. and then i have puted .zip file on sd card. after that i have run installation.

and now the phone works :)
[One (M8) Android Development] OGdroidster:
Good. That was going to be the next step I was going to give. Now root your phone and unlock the bootloader. If you are on Verizon then you have to use sunshine app if not just follow directions from XDA forum for your device. Once the bootloader is unlocked then you can flash twrp. Then you can flash custom ROM. Glad you got it working. :svetius:

I'm using a different device at the minute but here is what I have.
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
I finally installed LineageOS 17.1 (20201113-nightly, build 2ca7948ee0) on my HTC One m8.

Everything working so far. Just did not really test GPS yet.

However I also realized certain "lags" when opening apps etc.

One particular error I now faced 2 times: "System UI" process hangs and crashes. Before and after it finally crashes the phone is not usable for 5-10 seconds or so. After the process restarts, it is usable again. Not sure if this is related to too many open apps, certain apps or to something different?
[One (M8) Android Development] qevoh:
from the other builds they have been so smooth but the last latest builds are so laggy, i don't know why and I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, any ideas please ?
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
OK, so I am not the only one experiencing this.

To which build versions are you refering? Which was the last build you remember as "smooth" or "stable"? Also a question to all reading this thread.

Are there chances that this issues will get fixed in one of the upcoming builds?

What about downgrading to this older build? Would this be possible without losing all Apps and Data?

It is a bit of a pity because I just did a fresh install of my phone with 20201113 build two days ago.

Or would it make more sense just to wait and see if the next builds (weekly?) bring some fixes?

Are there any tweaks for improvement? Like disabling animations or some other advanced settings.

Or does the One m8 have too limited hardware resources for Android 10?

Cheers.
[One (M8) Android Development] dewbat:
I have also experienced terrible lags, random reboots, System UI, Process System and various apps (whichever I am using) all not responding. The problem started with the 20201106 update and has continued in the 20201113 update. I have done a factory reset, full wipes, clean installs of both updates, all to no avail. The phone is barely usable. Edit: I have now flashed the 20201031 update and everything is working fine. Wipe cache and Dalvik, and remove screen lock first before going into recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
Thank you for the info! Appreciated.

What if one runs the stable build now for a while and per accident flashes a faulty build? Then the only way to fix this would be a re-install (re-flash) including re-installing all apps and restoring data back from a backup?

What do you exactly mean by "remove screen lock first"? In the LineageOS itself? Wipe cache and Dalvik is done in the recovery, that is clear.

Thanks.

edit: and I have another question:

I have 2 HTC One m8 phones. I would like to re-flash one of them completely to HTC stock rom, including boot loader (so to a state like it comes fresh from the factory). Do you have some advice for this? Many thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] dewbat:
Re your first question, I did not wipe the cache and Dalvik when I flashed the earlier build, and when I rebooted, I got a loop on my screen lock, i.e. I put my pin in and it accepted it but looped round and asked me for it again. I took me a while to find a solution, which involved deleting several files in the file manager in recovery. So if you do use a lock on your screen for when you turn on your phone, remove it in settings first, and then reinstate it after successfully flashing the earlier version. I don't know whether I would have had the problem if I had wiped cache and Dalvik first when flashing the earlier build. The reflash kept all my apps and data.

Re your second question, sorry I am no expert on this, but I would be amazed if there isn't guidance on the web

USB File Transfer in Windows 10

I have lost the ability to transfer files to the M8 through USB in Windows 10. This worked for me in earlier builds of this ROM (unfortunately, I can't remember which), but my computer no longer recognizes the phone when I select "use USB for file transfer" in Android. I do not know if this is a problem with the phone or my computer, but I can still perform USB file transfers on my other HTC devices (Ace, M7, M9, 10) and 5 other Android phones and tablets.

I reinstalled the HTC drivers on my computer; USB file transfer continued to work on all other HTC devices, but it still does not work for the M8.

Has anybody encountered this or know how to fix it? I'll note that this is not likely to be a hardware issue with the M8, as I can transfer files via USB with my Linux computer.
[One (M8) Android Development] OGdroidster:
Go to developer options and change the default USB setting to file transfer then reboot

[One (M8) Android Development] hu016865:
if you have lag or slow or reboot .change default launcher with pixel launcher or poco 2 launcher.i choose poco 2.

i test it and now rom work ok.
[One (M8) Android Development] user602:
Thank you for your suggestion. Setting this default is no different than selecting "file transfer" manually from the status bar notification that appears when USB is connected (thus should have no effect on the issue), but I tried it anyway just in case some weird bug exists in the ROM. It did not help.

[One (M8) Android Development] kadyt:
I've experienced the same, I installed 20201106 as my first Lineage ROM in my old HTC M8 and I was baffled, it was definitely an unusable ROM. 20201113 improved a bit but eventually the phone would also block and need to be restarted. 20201120 improved a bit more, no blocks this time in the time I used it but after a while it became painfully slow. Now I have installed 20201030 and everything seems OK, it's a bit laggy with the default launcher but I've installed Lawnchair launcher and now it's even quite smooth

It does not harm to try the next deliveries, as if it goes wrong again it's just minutes to go into recovery and flash again 20201030 and wipe cache and that's it, but anyway if next deliveries do not improve, I think I'll stick to 20201130 and wait till Lineage 18 with Android 11 is mature enough to go for it
[One (M8) Android Development] ofir_a:
Hi , thanks for your feedback.

I had the same experiencea.

[One (M8) Android Development] kadyt:
I have just tried it and the problem persists. At the beginning and with the Lawnchair launcher it runs really good, smooth and crispy. But after 1 hour or so it starts lagging till the phone gets unusable. Rolling back to 20201030

I flashed the 20201204 build yesterday, and the UI lag seems much reduced to me from previous weeks.
[One (M8) Android Development] RexZero:
After clean flash of build-20201204, all work fine. But after install my apps, my m8 get lag, random hangs, even reboot.

After many google and test, i choose to use "linux swap file" on my m8 external SD card to make my m8 work fine. I know that is bad on android, but i do not get random hangs and reboot anymore after use swap. (Why not internal storage? Because i do not like that way personally.)

BTW, i use "Tasker" to "swapon" my swap file (on ext-sd) after "Card mounted" event. Because LineageOS do not mount ext-sd before i manually unlock my m8.
[One (M8) Android Development] emperor_N:
It seems like the Memory leak issue got fixed on the 20201204 build. No more random hangs I observe.

Music plays fine now without systemUI lag and apps no longer force close. NOTE: I whitelisted some of my apps from the battery optimisation thingy.

Hi,

the Rom becomes worse and worse instead of improving.

The jelly browser hangs and freezes quite often and e. g. Tune-in app freezes the phone so heavily that I believed the phone is bricked.

The performance dropped over recent weeks and unfortunately I didn't keep the older files.

Actually I hope from week to week to get a better release. What a pity.
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
I also experience "System UI" hangs which keeps the phone unusable for 30 sec up to a minute or more until the whole UI restarts.

Also GUI freezes and hangs in apps.

This is actually not good for daily usability. I also hope that these kind of things get fixed.

But I am afraid that not so much effort will go into fixing the OS builds for this old phone model.

I am using lineage-17.1-20201218-nightly-m8

Maybe the 20201225 update brings some fixes ...

Help yourself

File on MEGA

I don't have the sha256sum

Yes I installed the zip with TWRP being in a later ROM with no issues, just wipe dalvik after installing and before the reboot. After the first launch I rebooted to TWRP and deleted cache and dalvik again, probably this is not necessary but just in case

Remember to install a custom launcher like lawnchair to get rid of the lag
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
Thanks! Appreciated.

Edit: I now installed the Nova launcher and try if the 20201225 build runs more stable wit it (instead of Trebuchet default launcher). So far I like Nova. (I never tried any custom launchers in the last years with LineageOS).

Lawnchair (aka Pixel launcher 3) is a bit too minimalistic for my needs but fast indeed.
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
OK, I tried to install the 20201030 zip file from you.

No success unfortunately. Phone is stuck in a loop after the LineageOS boot logo. Repeating eternally.

Yes, I wiped Dalvik and cache everytime after installing zip in TWRP. Tried it several times, also cleared Dalvik and cache once again, did not help.

Also I think I messed up my SD card or some mount stuff because since my install attempts the SD card is not usable after every reboot. So I removed it for now.

So I am now back to 20201225. Think I would need to try a clean install from the 20201030 zip file. But I do not have the time right now.

I also can say that the System UI hangs and lags continued with 20201225. I also think it is related to the use of an SD Card as app and system storage.

Lets see if it is more stable without SD card. Overall I find the 20201225 feeling more stable then the previous builds.

I will get back after some time.
