I have a rooted / unlocked M8 with the stock AT&T ROM and just want to get the Google version on it (IE: no damn bloatware)
Is there an easy way to do that? I keep reading very confusing / conflicting posts.

just flash a gpe ROM first. there's a ruu to convert and a long road back to sense.( not that hard IMO ) but just try it out. there's a stock, and 2 very good modded ones.
Which one do you like the best?

I did the conversion. I use gravitybox and other stuff for mods. I like my phone to be original, but pretty much stock. can't really compare roms against forum rules.

Is there any other benefit to doing a full gpe conversion other than receiving OTAs?

IMO , faster than sense, cleaner look. you will have matching firmware which reduces problems

So, I'm about to send off my aluminum baby and be phone-less for a few days (booooo) to Sonic so he can java magic my phone (yaaaaaay!) and I see there are several ROMs based off CM at the moment. I'm curious if anyone is going to try to port the official GPE rom over to VZW? I want to basically turn my phone into GPE. I haven't seen anything from VZW about the official GPE version of the One yet. I know the Moto X has a GPE version but the only GPE I see on the google play site is GSM based. I thought I remembered reading VZW was getting the GPE version but haven't see anything about it since. If we're not going to get the official version I will most likely run andy's rom he posted. Has anyone heard any updates on the VZW GPE?

Yeah I saw that. You're right, it's 4.2. Thanks for the response. I'll just use newt most likely when I get the phone back or just use CM. I didn't know if anyone saw anything about Verizon actually releasing a GPE version of the One or not. Was hoping they would so we could have the straight stock optimized for the device.

not to hijack, but along these lines - how would I go about getting the stock android lockscreen? I much prefer the ring to the sense lockscreen...

On previous versions of Sense, you simply delete or rename HTCLockScreen.apk to HTCLockScreen.bak and reboot.
I'm assuming the same still applies.

Hey guys,
I am eligible for an upgrade with AT&T. I have the following questions:
Can I S-off my device?
Can I 'convert' it into a google play edition so it receives updates?
Thanks!

Yes, but you know rom's get updates too. Just saying, nice to be able to run sense and gpe.

If you do a full gpe conversion you can't just simply flash a sense ROM because they have different system partitions. Imo, It's better to just flash a gpe ROM that way you can quickly switch back and forth if you want.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
To go back to the original question. If you want full GPE conversion that can receive ota updates the link above will, providing you flash the stock recovery (a link to this is provided in the thread) What Otariq says is correct, it does actually convert your phone to a full GPE, partitions and all.
You can flash back to sense but there is a simple procedure you have to follow..
Depends what you prefer.
I am on the conversion and love it
I need to find a stock rom for the Google Play Edition version of the M8, but after searching for several hours, I found nothing. Currently, I'm running a buggy version of CyanogenMod 11. Nearly every post I find on Google or xda pertains to the Sense One M8, does anyone know where to find a rom or how to restore back to stock GPE?
Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I've learned my lesson, don't do CM unless I'm out of manufacture updates lol.
So I do see the RUU file linked above, but is it possible to just flash a normal GPE rom in TWRP? I haven't s-off(ed) the phone and it'd be great if I could just reflash, just like most roms.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! I really should have added this to the original post, but I'm hoping to get stock with a TWRP flash (which may not easily possible from the looks of it) so I can upgrade when Google blesses us with the Lollipop OTA update.

I could try it this weekend. I'm just a bit reluctant because it seems like such an easy thing to get, yet there aren't any real GPE stock roms as far as I can see. Also I'm not too enthusiastic about paying for s-off. I know from testing a few months ago that firewater doesn't work on my device which just leaves Sunshine s-off for $25

I suppose so. Coming from the GS3 it seems pretty silly that there's no return from flashing a rom lol.
I'll hold out for doing the s-off + RUU and use another rom like sinless until we see if Lollipop gets sent out as a flashable update or full install zip (or, of course, if someone comes across a flashable stock image in the mean time). Thanks everyone for the help so far!
For anyone with the same problem, I've found the original One M8 images! GPE stock rom image can be found here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Make sure to choose the One M8 Google Play Edition under the devices dropdown, then you'll find the stock images below.
*Edit* These must be built from the source code.

You probably won't find one that is still in development but Cloudy is quite popular stock KK based ROM, which also has a LL version for certain variants.

That I'm not 100% about. I use stock so haven't fiddled with it yet. But my guess would be no. That being said, you can easily try it. If it doesn't work (loops, bugs, etc), you can always restore your backup (which I do assume you'll do before flashing )

You need to flash KK modem if you want to use KK Roms.
Thanks, and last one question. Is it possible, to get LG apps (like QuickRemote, LG Camera, or QuickCircle) in CM11?

Nope. There are some ports here and there but nothing like the original.
I've looked through the Development forums and haven't found anything. I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
There are a couple that "de-sense" the rom as aroma option.
But no true AOSP yet as I can see.
I haven't installed a ROM using Aroma before. That is pretty cool. I installed Venom de-sensed. I like it better than stock for sure, but the one thing I'm really looking for is a ROM with a stock Lollipop dialer/phone setup.
Any ideas?
Edit: I see the Redbulled ROM mentions the GPE dialer, but will it work on a Verizon phone?

Cool. I hadn't seen that yet. I'll give it a try. I was able to install the dialer by extracting it from my M7 running GPE, but as soon as I start the call it reverts back to the Sense phone app. I'll see if that works any better.
