Hi

I downloaded the 20201230 build delete cache and dalvik and then install the zip but i couldn't open the phone after the installation finished how did you install the 20201230 build ?
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
@ofir_a I had the same issue after I installed it via TWRP. Interesting that you did face the same when trying to downgrade the build.

I was only able to install it by doing a complete fresh install (wipe data partition etc. like in the official lineage install instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/m8/install), so like I would install it the first time. Actually did adb sideload for the OS zip + gapps pico zip afterwards.

Did backup of my data + messenger chats beforehand.
[One (M8) Android Development] x-ploded:
I can confirm that the 20201030 build runs stable, no hangs so far.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tysken71:
Hello,

about the covid time i was installing it yesterday and it runs perfectly from the beginning, all works Bluetooth, wifi and with the Gabs Google app i even have Google Playbutik.I don´t use it with mobilecard right now so i can´t give you response about.Only thing is when i turn off the phone, i come automatic to the Bootloader from Lineage.So it turn not off totally.What should i do?

I have the HTC M8 Dualsim (DUGL). If you need more information, i just tried it and it works fine so far, but i guess it goes slower later because it cant handle Android 10?

Greetings Mathias

You need to do repartition your system partition .. either via TWRP package or manually via shell.

Can you please tell me what version is the most stable ? I want to install via adb but I don't know which one to take ... :/
[One (M8) Android Development] kamatz:
Hey Ofir,

last week I installed with "TWRP 3.3.1-3" on my m8: lineage-17.1-20210122-nightly-m8-signed.zip. This version ran fine (I don't use gapps). With the current TWRP (twrp-3.5.0_9-0-m8 or so...) it didn't work, there I got boot loops too.

I just did a manual update with lineage-17.1-20210129-nightly-m8-signed.zip via TWRP. Also the new version works fine.

(An update via the updater did not work: The zip was downloaded and after that the system also went into TWRP, but there the update did not start - see here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-officia...-htc-one-m8-m8-dual-sim.3976989/post-82202927 .)

Many greetings

Hi. Does this mean the latest builds can be considered as stable? (lineage-17.1-20210129-nightly-m8-signed.zip)

I have now been using the 20201030 build for some time and it is quite stable. Only some smaller glitches, hangs and freezes. Especially with some apps like Spotify and if you are doing multitasking.

So I would not say it is perfectly stable (stable like a Debian or BSD server, lol) but stable enough as a daily driver. Also the battery live is quite good.

It would be interesting to know if the latest releases are equally stable (or better/ worse)

But all in all I am satisfied, given that this phone was first released in 2014.
[One (M8) Android Development] kamatz:
Hi x-ploded,

As always, "stable" is relative. :-) Sometimes even this build has some hangs, that's true. But on the whole, I find it quite usable. I don't use it as my regular device though. But browser, RadioDroid, camera etc work fine.

Unfortunately, on my m8, the battery is quite old and it's relatively hard to change it on this device. From therefore I can badly objectively judge how it behaves with the discharge. The usb port I just renewed, that worked well.

I manually updated again today to lineage-17.1-20210205-nightly-m8-signed.zip, this one runs fine too.
[One (M8) Android Development] niko747:
There are several problems with this rom, when i watch a youtube video and some promotion video comes on and i skip it, sometimes the video i was watching becomes gray and the sound is still on, i need to go to next video then back to fix this glitch, also it freezes alot, since i started to use swapfile it almost not freezes but lags alot
[One (M8) Android Development] lymon66:
After 2-3 weeks of daily use, I can say that overall this rom (20201030 build) runs smooth.

I recently made the switch from AICP 14.

I'm using leanlauncher and battery life is (a lot) better, but it used to be good with AICP also, but gradually got worse to almost unusable (less then a day) after about 1.5 year of usage.

I had frequent random reboots with AICP since day 1, which seem to be gone since the switch to this rom.

One annoying issue that I had with AICP, unfortunately is still there with this rom: Usually after about 5-6 days of use, it suddenly refuses to connect to any network (WIFI or Mobile network) and I have to manually reboot to fix it. (anyone else have this problem ?)

One other flaw that I ran into is that memory management seems a bit problematic at times: some apps won't start, lag, freeze or behave weird, unless you manually free up some memory.

[One (M8) Android Development] Rickjed:
I've just downloaded the lineage-17.1-20210122-nightly-m8-signed and installed it on a Sprint M8 along with Mini Gapps. It seems to be working very good. The TWRP- twrp-3.5.0_9-0-m8.img was used as it alleged to be universal. Both the OS and the Gapps were sideloaded in recovery. One thing that caused a mild panic was after i did the standard wipe it took quite a long time to format the Cache. But, it did it and no problems.

I was also very happy that the Aus Telstra sim connected easily as well.

Just my 2c worth

Hi can anyone tell me how much space the OS takes up with pico gapps as only have 16Gb of space.
[One (M8) Android Development] Dennis-HTC8:
I've installed the latest weekly from 20210226 with pico gapps and that takes about 5 GB of internal space.

This was the first time i'm running Lineage 17.1 on my phone and I must say that the latest version (20210226) runs very smooth. The only problem I've encountered was with the music player when using a headset. When you go to the next song, sometimes you only hear crackling noise. But other then that this build is perfect.

So big thanks to the developers! Now I can use my One M8 from 2014 even longer with this new OS and after the battery replacement I had done earlier this year.
[One (M8) Android Development] schlaf:
Thanks for the info it's for my mother in laws phone it's taking up 9Gb of space of the 16 so WhatsApp pictures and videos of grandkids fills it up very quickly
[One (M8) Android Development] Dennis-HTC8:
You're welcome. I've already got some apps installed and I'm now on 6.63 GB of the 16.

Maybe your mother-in-law can use a SD card in her phone. Then she only has to place her WhatsApp media on the SD card every once in awhile when the internal memory gets almost full.

I think WhatsApp still doesn't have an option to save media on SD card. Unless I'm mistaken.
[One (M8) Android Development] schlaf:
will do not sure she has sd card but well it her birthday soon
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
Well, i tested ''lineage-17.1-20210226-nightly-m8-signed'' build, it runs smoothly but after hours of usage, i have to reboot my device because it becomes really slow and even hangs on the app that it's actually running but i noticed that when i don't have any app on foreground, SystemUI hangs, i also noticed this too, if this happens and i force close SystemUI, the bug dissapears for some hours without needing to reboot.

Besides this rom, i only flashed pico Gapps, Magisk and busybox flashable zip

Another Detail, it happens too on the ''lineage-17.1-20210205-nightly-m8-signed'' build, so is not build related bug.

Edit:i tweaked build.prop a little and this got decreased, i think the system is using really much ram overtime, i noticed this when i restart my phone and check tasks, resetting make i get 0.95 GB of free ram and 700 MB on cache, but using it in a day makes my phone have like 500-700 MB of free RAM and like 400 MB of free cache, causing apps like Facebook and Messenger to freeze android for some seconds, even for a minute, on rare cases i have to reboot my phone.

Edit 2: i added an strict_minfree_handler file on system/etc/init and added and removed some build.prop tweaks, it runs way more smooth, i need less to reboot the phone to prevent hangings, the only thing i noticed and i think it should be fixed, is when i unlock the phone, systemui gets hanged for some seconds, even software buttons doesn't appear until that time passes.
[One (M8) Android Development] @kel@:
I have the same problems with lineage-17.1-20210205-nightly-m8-signed,but with lineage-17.1-20201030-nightly-m8-signed I have no such problems.
[One (M8) Android Development] niko747:
anybody facing random reboots?
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
Do you have an link to download it, on official page i can only download until lineage-17.1-20210129 version, i think it happens because recent security patches and updates uses more ram, i noticed it when i ran an Lineage OS 17 rom on an Moto G 2014 (Titan) with 1 GB of RAM and the oldest version uses less ram memory
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
I don't. Do you have anything installed besides rom and gapps?
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
Still having hang-up in the latest ROM lineage-17.1-20210305-nightly-m8-signed.zip

If I'm constantly using it, no hangs ups, no freeze.

If it's unused e.g. over night It's -sometimes- very slow in morning. After a reboot everything is fine again.

System UI complains about a generel error. That's the only I can noticed.

Some memory consuming app also cause a lack of speed an hangs.

A memory or file system error ?

[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
After a month using this rom, i know what's the cause of bugging after unlocking screen, is the lockscreen, after disabling it, bug dissapeared

The bug consists on when you unlock your phone, lock icon on top side of the screen appears for like 4 or 6 seconds then dissapears and navigation bar appears again

Sadly i don't have any logcat, but with only unlocking the phone, you will notice this bug

Tested with this installed

lineage-17.1-20210312-nightly-m8-signed.zip

open_gapps-arm-10.0-pico-20210107.zip

BusyBox-v1.24.2-Stericson_android10.zip (i ported it to work with android 10)

Magisk-v21-4.zip

I tweaked a little the build.prop file but i tested without build.prop tweaks and is the same

¿Gapps Pico only? i tested this rom with gapps micro and it worked really nice since this is an 2 GB ram phone, it even ran a little better than my Moto G 2014 (Titan) with the best android 7 rom i had when playing games, also actually i have this rom with pico gapps and extras like gmail and google search

Noob question but How did you create a SWAP in Apps2SD?
[One (M8) Android Development] Unknownnordic:
Im hoping this is third time lucky now ive made some adjustments, just managed to unlock the network with the [GUIDE] SIM-Unlock without S-OFF [Lots of fixes added].

Fantastic guide! And now....

Woohoo Lineage.. I miss this so much, I bricked my A3 with lineage and then broke the screen, but looks like the M8 has taken to it well.

Props and respect!

[One (M8) Android Development] tobs365:
I set my priority as 1 and it seems to work. It was more instinct than knowledge on my part but it might be worth a try.
[One (M8) Android Development] tejljr:
Do you remember the size and where you placed it?
[One (M8) Android Development] tobs365:
I set my size as 4GB (twice ram) and I placed it in the same place as you. I noticed when I had a lot of apps open, the swap file went up to about 650mb if that means anything. My sizing was arbitrary as I know very little about swap files.
[One (M8) Android Development] tejljr:
Would Gapps stock or super be too much for this rom to handle?
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
Well, it's an 2 GB RAM device, i think it will not be too much for this rom but you will have the same performance that having an 1 GB RAM device (it will run but not smoothly, also android 10 on 1 GB ram devices is kinda slow unless you use it for social network apps and simple games since all of google apps are always active and using ram and other resources), also you will not have much free system storage and take way more time to boot first time and on factory reset

In my case i flash gapps pico and add gmail and google search apps to system partition, odex all of those apps using lucky patcher and it takes like an minute to boot after factory reset, it even has an nice performance.

As maximum i could recommend you to flash micro gapps, it will also give you enough system storage if you want to put more apps into system or even odexing them
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:
Well, i tested the recent version and i noticed this

When enabling the flashlight on quick settings (and even with third party apps), phone starts to vibrate and doing an strange popping sound

Sometimes, music gets stopped for some seconds and even disabling AudioFX for an extra seconds

SystemUI is kinda bugged, sometimes it puts the unlock icon for some seconds after unlocking the phone and after those seconds, it dissapears and software buttons appears, also SystemUI makes phone freezing for seconds

After two or three days, i have to restart my phone because the ram gets decreased at the point i will only have between 350-450 MB of RAM and between 120-260 of caché memory, using an swap memory should be unnecesary because is ridiculous to having to use it on 2 GB RAM devices, especially since i use picoGapps and a few extras like Gmail and Google Search (even with those apps, when i restart i have 0.9 GB of free RAM)

Root needed and micros

- Need Root and a microSD card inserted and formated as portable ( it will be formatted!)

- install Apps2sd, open and grant root acess

- in the app, go to Partition Tool

- choose how many MBs do you want in 1st partition ( to install apps/games in microsd) and format as Ext4

- in swap partition choose how many MBs do you want to your SWAP ( minimum 2048MB maximum 6GB)

- click in CREATE and YES

-reboot

- Open Apps2sd again, go to Swap Manager

- See if circule inside status bar its to the right. If not click it

- click 3dot UP Right , click set swap priority ( between 50 / 75 if your card its fast, if not choose values less than 50

It's the correct app, do as described in my previous post directed to you.

Sorry for the delay
[One (M8) Android Development] chuy19312:

Hey guys,

Here's an urgent request for help. I installed Lineage OS 17.1 successfully. But now I fail to connect to my Windows 10 Lenovo PC. I tried installing HTC Sync Manager. That didn't help. At some point I managed to show the device files on Windows 10. But after about a minute it automatically disconnected and from then on connected and disconnected all the time, infinitely. Until a dialogue showed that the device had been disconnected.

Now my question. What do I have to do to make the HTC M8 (Single SIM) compatible with Windows 10?

This is urgent, as my sister is going to get the phone and she needs it until tomorrow!
