ROM Request: GPE 4.4 - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Anyone currently working on this rom? FOr some reason AOSP roms run poorly on my phone, but GPE and Sense work great. Is anyone working on porting the new 4.4 GPE Rom?

Santod040 said this in post #291 in the below listed thread. He hasn't released any new updates on it as of yet.

Its going to take A LOT OF WORK to get it properly built and running smoothly on our device. Im pretty sure he has it running already but doesnt want to put out something with a million bugs everyone is going to complain about. If anyone can do it, its Santod 1000000%...And if his other work on this phone is any indication....it'll be immaculate as usual.

Not sure if you've tried it out but santods tiktak ROM is quite a joy to have. No idea why aosp doesn't play well on your phone but I def think you should give tiktak a shot

Its not that it doesn't work, it has some very strange lag on my device for some reason. Any AOSP roms do, and Sense or GPE don't.

Any clue as to why 4.2.2 was relatively easy to get running on our device (even without kernel source) while 4.4 requires a lot of work?

1. Our device shipped with Android 4.2.2 already, no kernel work was needed.
2. 4.2.2 Google Edition was mostly stripped down Sense, which is no longer the case.
There are other reasons as well, but I won't go into them, as they are all but behind me now anyhow...I'm almost satisfied with the port. (and no, NO ETA's, lol)

Is the framework for 4.4 still pretty much sense? I feel like if it is too much AOSP it might have that glitch on my device... TikTak had it too.

Can the Sense camera still be installed on the GPE 4.4 like it could on 4.2/4.3? That's the only reason I would switch to it - I hate AOSP camera.

MoDaCo Switch

Hi all,
Forgive me if this has been posted here already - couldn't find it anywhere.
MoDaCo Switch is now a public beta:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/363797-modacoswitch-beta-8-support-topic/
It installs both Sense and Google Play Edition Roms. Then, from within each, you can flick a switch to change to the other. It is pretty damn neat. It shares one data source, so all apps installed on one rom are available on the other and all changes made in one app are also present when you open the app in the other rom. Furthermore, you can exclude apps that you do not want to share data (for example a launcher - where you way want to have different set ups on the different roms). It is a really clever solution if you can't decide which rom flavour to stick with!
Check it out!
Please Note - I had absolutely nothing to do with the development of MoDaCo Switch. I just wanted to share it in case people hadn't seen it.

I'll try this when you can use your own ROMs because I certainly don't want 2 stock ROMs on my phone with all the bloatware and not customised to my taste. I've just spent a month modding my favourite ROM to have it set up just how I want it so until then, I'll pass.

Sprint LG G2 no love?

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?
I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).
Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.

Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.
I ain't skeeerid

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD

[DEV] Android 4.4 Kernel Port From HTC ONE GPE

Everythings working fine on both GPE 4.4 and Sense 5.5 with android 4.4 ports, this is purely for devs who want to port those roms, kernel is stock besides disabling perflock, and updating the board files to 4.4
Source: https://github.com/Joelz9614/android_kk_kernel_htc_monarudo/tree/m7wlv_kk
this will be updated as new sources are released..kernel is 100% stable the dev tag just means i won't be posting a flashable, and that the devs should build it themselves

Much appreciated and thanks for sharing.:good:
I look forward to locating the cause of the small tearing issue I was having in my GE port/kernel.

Just trying to help you have a more pure and up to date source instead of patching in the 4.2.2 boards. If they introduce some new camera things that camera board could cause some issues. Not saying it will, but could. You literally only need to do two things to make the GPE 4.4 source boot on our device. They take about 2 min to change and you're up and running building with 4.7 toolchain. If you are interested, let me know. No criticizing here, just lending a helping hand.

Best Rom in your opinion

so instead of trying all the roms ill see what your favorite rom is. i hoped to use Android Revolution but it doesnt support verizon, so what rom has the best battery life is my main concern.

It'll be in your best interest to try them out. Any of the sense roms are great (ecliptic or any nusense). You'll find people that are lean towards one or the other...it's just personal preference. Couldn't tell ya about any aosp roms though. I'm one of the weird ones that thinks Sense is way better (and much more stable).

Battery life sense nusense by far has the best battery life. But tethering just had to much issues. Best tethering in a sense ROM is ecliptic.

AOSP - DarkSlide
Sense - Ecliptic

I'm switching back and forth between DS and Ecliptic.
I hear Solar Flare is pretty decent.
Just trolling....Only way to find out what is the "best" is to try them all. The "best" is subjective and depends on your usage. But everyone's replies are pretty much stating that.
I'd vote for unsense as well. Fast and solid.

There is an xposed module you can install for that bypass. Even if viper is done, it is still rock solid and my favorite sense Rom.

For the plain stock option, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319. Comes with deodex/odex/debloat options as well.
If you want something a little different that's based on Sense 6, try out Bonestock or NuSenseSix.

HTC one AOSP roms

So im on an unlocked verizon htc one m8 and want to install an aosp rom. On the verizon forums for this phone, there are not many roms available but here in what i assume is general forums for the phone, there are many. Can i install any rom or does it have to be from the verizon forums specifically for verizon? Also does the same thing apply to kernels?
Check with the individual ROM. For cm it is a universal zip for all carriers. Dunno what the other large devs will be doing when it comes to Verizon. However even if it flashes there isn't one that is daily driver stable in my books (the darn camera bugs). Kernels, no. Those won't be universal Verizon uses different partitions and it will end bad. There's talk of an aosp kernel in one of the threads, Andy's I think, on Verizon. Dunno what will come of it but keep your eyes peeled.

Ok thanks for your help. I see some like liquid I think that's doing a universal build. I was wondering about aospa. And I heard it very blotchy right now with all aosp toms but the awesome devs here at xda will get it done right in no time. Thanks again for your help. Just one more question. If I were to flash a Rom can I just change the kernel to work with Verizon or will it not work at all after flashing a Rom?

They'd have to port it for Verizon. I wouldn't worry though personally I prefer stock kernel

I believe they all have the weak wifi and some other issues, The rom's run but you should wait if you're looking for a daily driver. The stock roms run smooth with great battery life.
