SUCCESS (!) 1st try and great thanks to Claymore1297 for the lineage project.

My Aliexpress HTC ONE M9 with Marshmallow is now purring with lineage-18.1-20210813-UNOFFICIAL-hima.

Hardest/ longest problem was getting TWRP onto the phone first (twrp-3.5.2_9-0-hima) -- but that was moi forgetting all the standard things one has to do to get ADB functional on a fresh WIN 10 x64 machine.

ONE Teeny tiny issue so far: Where is the GPS?

Oh well, maybe it will pop up next update.

No idea about an FM radio -- never use it anyhoo.

Grotty details: Refurbed HTC ONE M9 from Aliexpress with generic rom (no Verizon, etc) Would not OTA update, had Google Gunk, ran sluggish. Came S-OFF and boatloader unlocked. Since I only mess with my phone(s) every 1-2 years had forgotten the drill, OOPS must have proper JRE, must put JRE PATH variable, must figure out command-line fun to get platform-tools, must have HTC drivers to get USB debugging in "download" mode, etc.. etc..

Once TWRP flashed, all the rest was easy.

Flashed Lineage after default TWRP wipe, did not allow it to install its own recovery.

After, flashed NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20200926-signed for Play store.

BTW: tried the ANdroid 7 Verizon RUU flash first but my refurb was not running a VERIZON rom, so -phhtttt!--

I wonder what manner of logging or diagnostic program I should use to poke at the GPS? Also must stick a sim in and see what the "radio" does. Should be a GSM /etc phone.

It is to be the secondary travel phone, the one that keeps my local sim, so that I can reply to SMS 2FA when my accounts get angry that I am not where I should be. Maybe no GPS is good thing?

Many THANKS to all the M9 peeps on XDA for stuff to help puzzle out the upgrade!
[One (M9) Original Android Development] Zetsuboshi:
Urrrr ... A few days later, there were problems:

1) No GPS

2) Contacts would not sync, no matter what, build app or Google Contacts.

3) My sim would not recognize, so (I think) I could not do any diag/ confirming of what GSM bands were available..

Did I use the correct TWRP? I went to the Team Win site and used the [ twrp-3.5.2_9-0-hima ] build because I thought I should get the newest.

Discouraged, I thought I would go to a "STOCK DEVELOPER" Android 7... Little did I know of the different flavors, [Stock_4.30.617.2_Rooted_Deodexed_M9_Minhnewpro] installed, but again, no GPS or sim recognition. Couldn't find any root either.

OK, try Lineage 17 (!) [ lineage-17.1-20200921-UNOFFICIAL-hima ] That worked but no GPS (yet to try the sim. Got lazy and used [ NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20200926-signed ] OOOPS, that didn't work - was for Android 11. Did a dirty over-write with [ NikGapps-core-arm64-10-20210918-signed ] Play store working, apps installable/ update ok.

BUT.. Same problems 1 + 2 (yet to dig my sim out of its other phone.

DO any of what I did raise any doom flags?

Fine Aliexpress seller refurbed and de-Sprinted a Sprint 651 type, which can do --apparently-- some GSM/LTE but is mainly a CDMA-ish beast, AKA the "himawhl"

Miracle that Lineage 17 and 18 ran on it (not to mention the random developer Nougat rom)

More digging through the forums suggests I may have pooched my phone, so I am downloading the stock sprint loads and will have to bid farewell to Lineage OS (unless a cheap used GSM HTC later comes my way)

In any case... NICE OS (sigh) (but I need it to phone.)

Regards and thanks...

hey,

ad 1: for me I do not have Magisk installed or used but obviously the built-in camera app icon is not showing up

ad 2: hmm, ok, I thought they were all using the same protocols....could you give a (brief) explanation of why it is not secure

ad 3: I did a clean install with the first 18.1 LOS release and then at first the next OTA update didn't show up, I reported here, then it worked for one update but after that it did not show new updates (also reported)....so I asked what to do and got the answer that a manual update also is working fine (maybe it is in general the same the phone would do in the automated update process anyway(?) which means it is not a dirty flash(?))

Here are some new things I haven't reported here so far. So maybe this is interesting enough (besides all the other reported "anomalies" by me in this 18.1 thread:

a) when the ambient temperature is lower than around 15°Celsius and the battery level is around 20% or lower the phone will shut down suddenly....I experienced this behavior when getting my phone out of my jacket for taking a (quick) photo (after a long time until the phone by double press on power starts up, first reported here) and the ambient temp is "fresh to cold"🥶😉

b) the loudness of the alarm is not "stepless", i.e. the loudness of the alarm is either muted, loud or very very loud. I cannot set to "a little" ....so to say "stepless". the lowest level is even higher than the lowest notification level.....so I wake up every morning by a shocking loudness of my alarm clock.....(maybe this was intended to get me up finally 🤣)

@Claymore1297 : is there any chance to get maybe at least b) fixed in next built🤩?
[One (M9) Original Android Development] DonJDelago:
very likely your battery is old. if you know how to, buy a new one and change it. (ebay, 10-15 € or so) but replacing the battery in this phone is not an easy task und you may easily brake something. Maybe give it to a specialist.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] DonJDelago:
No access to the home folder in latest build - 18.1-20210813-UNOFFICIAL-hima.zip with twrp-3.5.2_9-0-hima.img.

So no downloading files, no taking pictures etc. (Apps crash when trying to access the folder) I experince this with two One M9. (both 4.x firmware)

Clean installs, wiped everything.

No Gapps.

[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
I just noticed a bug where "Mobile data usage" is being incorrectly calculated/displayed once I reach the next "Mobile data usage cycle", and it won't show the chart of the new cycle, only the previous ones. Not sure if this is particular to this build or not, as I couldn't find a general LOS bug reported on this.

For example, I had data turned off the last few days, and my mobile data usage from Sept 11-Oct 10 was 1.7 GB. However, today, on October 11th, it's showing that I've already used 2.39 GB for Oct 11-Nov 10, even though I've had data turned off.

When I look at the "App data usage" menu item text, it says 2.39GB for Oct 11-Nov 10, but when I select the menu item and go to the chart, it only shows the chart for Sep 11-Oct 10.

If I modify the "usage cycle reset date" to be the 12th, it temporarily corrects the calculation to 1.7 GB by bringing me back into the previous period, but if I modify the period start date to be the 10th or earlier, the calculation is again wrong.

To be sure, the usage period before last I only used 118 MB (as I'm usually on WiFi) and I had no spike in usage exactly a month ago (or yesterday and today), so nothing there which would impact the calculation around the reset date.

It has to be a bug, because it's also not triggering a data warning above 1.75 GB.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] vrencik:
Hey. Just downloaded 18.1 and it's kinda unusable. Screen lock doesnt work (it crashes) and if i try to restart the phone it goes into bootloop. Thats all i noticed in the short period of time i used it. Any advices?
[One (M9) Original Android Development] vrencik:
Also, on 17.1 when i switch cameras it takes very long, like 5 secs. Not only in the camera app, but also in snapchat, ig, etc. I assume its not my camera's fault as it worked normal in 18.1.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] vrencik:
ok sorry im stupid i downloaded some old version of 18. Latest build works however there's still this weird camera behavior. Is there any solution for this?

edit: after a restart, the camera app completely disppeared...
[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
I've seen this happen, but I think after a few restarts or something, it resolved itself. Not sure exactly what the cause or fix is.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] b2ag:
Hi @All,

as some people already mentioned opting to encrypt the phone does send it into a boot loop. Or did anyone of you had success with encryption for Hima in LOS 18.1?

I tried with lineage-18.1-20210813-UNOFFICIAL-hima.zip . My phone software specs are:

kernel: lk

product: htc_himauhl

version: 1.0

It's S-ON.

Bye,

[One (M9) Original Android Development] riddell:
Nice job Claymore1297 on this HTC ONE M9 build. It is great! 😀

One thing to make it better would be an addition of a 'reboot to recovery' option on the reboot screen.

One problem I did find was when the SD card is installed, It caused the phone to crash and certain software not to play. After I removed the SD card, the phone became stable again. Weird... has anyone else experienced this problem?
[One (M9) Original Android Development] riddell:
S-off.... IF you want to go down in version to return to original stock. If you are just going UP to newer versions then S-ON is OK.

[One (M9) Original Android Development] Pfony:
Hi there,

I am on most recent los 18.1-20210813 build.

I discovered another behavior/bug:

when putting my phone from normal volume panel 🔔 to vibrate 📳 I would expect that all notifications from messengers or alerts from calendar and so on....so all of them that would normally play a sound sample will then vibrate in this sound setting. But actually it does not vibrate at all. It is actually like the 🔕?!?!

Is there anything to trigger elsewhere ("do not disturb" is turned off)?

Anyone else having this kind of phone behavior or any idea of what might be in conflict with this setting or where to "reset" all sound settings?

Oh and since this is maybe related to my other reported issue: is there any news about my "alarm sound setting not "steplessly adjustable" as reported here under "b)".

Thanks so much.

ps: is this build (18.1-20210813) the last one for m9 or will there be some updates in near future 😉🥳😇
[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
@Pfony The first thing people are going to want to confirm is that your vibration hardware still works. Just mentioning this because mine is broken.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] Pfony:
hi,

yes sure, I just received a phone call after switching to vibrate which vibrated as expected and also in general my vibration hardware is fully intact.

oh, and just to be upfront, I already tried a restart :geek:

😇😉

Maybe the rom "loses" some settings somewhere somehow during usage time?! (yeah I know this sounds strange), because my TTS (ivona-text-to-speech) does also not work anymore (e.g. in "quickdic" dictionary from fdroid)...tried a lot of restarts already and reset the tts-settings in "settings/accessibility/screen-readers text-to-speech-output" several times.

Any ideas? Thanks guys.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
One thing I've noticed since I've been using it is the McDonalds app acting sluggishly and not responding for a bit on this phone, but I don't know if it's just the app, this ROM, or my particular phone's flash memory slowing down.

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Something with sepolicy, i used your device/qcom/sepolicy branch: lineage-19.0-legacy as it was required by BoardConfig.mk

Any ideas? :)

You can't build it that simple in that early state. You need some picks and a some kind of minimal sepolicy

[One (M9) Original Android Development] Pfony:
Great....in the meantime I couldn't wait so I flashed it manually... everything fine, even the camera icon was back again....but after a sudden shutdown of my phone (due to low ambient temperatures in combination with a low battery level (below 40%) my phone shut down (already reported that and it has nothing to do with my built in battery because on aicp 13.1 there are no such sudden shutdowns at certain battery levels)...so after the restart the camera app icon disappeared again.

Could you please have a look into this strange and somehow reproducible behavior (camera icon and battery shut downs)

In the first builts of this ROM e.g. "lineage-18.1-20210314-UNOFFICIAL-hima.zip" there where no such problems (cam app icon always there even after dozens of restarts, and no battery probs).

It would be so great if you could take a deeper look into this. There must be some reason for that...I discovered that after a clean fresh install (wipes) the phone had a problem to detect my inserted micro SD and after another fresh install (wipes and even format data) the phone asked me for the first time how I want my micro SD card to use (internal memory or kind of transfer drive and I selected transfer drive). Maybe this gives a clue.

Other users here experienced also this cam disappearing problem...question is if you also have a SD card inserted or nor not.

Would be sooo great to get this solved !!!

Hey @Claymore1297,

just wanted to let you know that the official TWRP page has newer versions of TWRP for hima than the link to Captain Throwback’s repository in the first post here.

I updated to 18.1. for a friend and had some difficulties until I saw that there is a newer version at https://twrp.me/htc/htconem9.html.

Of course it is my own fault, but perhaps it could make the installation more easy for others if the link is updated.

Thanks for making 18.1. available for M9!

P.S.: The new forum for 19.0 seems also to link to Captain Throwback’s repository. So updating this could be good, too.

Hello @Claymore1297 ,

I have been using Lineageos 15.1 for a long time and I decided to upgrade. Only I have a problem with the battery, when the charge reaches 20-30% the phone cuts and indicates 10% or less.

I tested the 17.1 and 18.1 version and the problem remains the same, is it a problem coming from my device that appeared much less with the 15.1 (around 10% of battery)

Thank you very much for these developments ;)

Referring to languages spell-checker problem of reply #68 in this thread

I am referring to the language spell-checker problem which is still present on my phone under latest LOS 18.1 himaul built (20211220):

there are 2 languages activated under settings/system/languages&input/languages ==> 1. english (united states) and 2. german (germany)

and under under settings/system/languages&input/spell_checker "use spell checker enabled" and under "languages"=use system languages

BUT everytime I have the german keyboard active all the words in german where red underlined. only when switching to english all the words are not red underlined.

So I compared to a friend's phone (having AICP 13.1) same language+keyboard+spell-checker settings and there where all german words NOT underlined.

I recall that in prior LOS releases there was no such "bug" and I am since LOS 14.1 on board ;)

Anyone else maybe also german speaking/writing people having experienced this?

Can't wait to use android 12

Thank you build android rom and fix any bug for everyone to use!

After use it , found some bug , but This rom 98% is well done

Light degree occasionally invalid. Auto light seem like no work.

Location didn't fully function

Althought gps work on google map can show blue point but electron compass can not correction, after the blue point transform gray.

And than I download another map app which calls MAPS.ME ,This app can't find device gps singal .

BUT HERE WeGo app can receive GPS location.

So I don't know this wrong that blame on rom bug or google play services.

In the end , whatever those bug fix or not , Thank developers build rom for everyone to use.

This rom has only a little bug , I hope next version will be great.

Has anyone here tested VoLTE on AT&T or an AT&T MVNO in LOS 18.1 with the AT&T HTC One M9? I don't have an active AT&T SIM to test in mine, but I'd consider an AT&T MVNO if I knew it would work.

For context, I noticed while testing it (unlocked) with a T-Mobile SIM that it would show LTE for voice and data, but when I would actually make a call, the Phone information screen would show it switching from LTE to UMTS for voice. I've read posts on this forum from years ago saying that the AT&T version of this phone didn't support band 12, with people saying this caused it to not work with VoLTE on T-Mobile. I don't know if that's strictly true, so that's another question I have. FWIW, I'm currently seeing mine connect to band 4.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
@shpitz461 , If you can test a clean install of LineageOS 18.1, from here (it's Android 11), that'd be great: https://mirror.codebucket.de/claymo...ima/lineage-18.1-20211220-UNOFFICIAL-hima.zip

That's what I'm currently running on hima, and it could help us determine how far back we have to go to see if VoLTE ever worked in these hima ROMs. I just got a TracFone AT&T SIM card that I can test for comparison, and if neither of us can get VoLTE to work, then we'll have to check earlier hima ROMs.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] shpitz461:
I can give it a shot once I get my new phone set up, should receive it today.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] shpitz461:
Ok, I got it installed, I don't see any options for VoLTE or VoWifi (Wifi-calling).

The same sim that I used in my Axon 7 and now OnePlus 8 Pro does have VoLTE and VoWifi enabled.
[One (M9) Original Android Development] mmortal03:
Dang, so, I was going to test mine with that Tracfone (AT&T) SIM, but I ran into issues activating it with them, so I haven't been able to test it. I'm supposed to be receiving a different MVNO AT&T SIM soon in the mail, so I'll let you know when I do.

Like I said in the AICP thread, I went through old threads, and VoLTE support was supposedly added for hima in AICP 13.1 (but not 14.0) and LOS 15.1, but I didn't find instances where people were saying they had it actually working.

It might be wise for us to bite the bullet and go back to stock to test these MVNO AT&T SIMs. I believe I do have a stock ROM backup of my phone that I can test with. Once I get a working AT&T SIM card in the mail, I'll let you know.
