You want to have your Sense M8 becoming a GPE M8 or do you want to flash a lollipop based custom rom?

i don't care about sense at all. i'm just used to flashing a zip in twrp not all this firmware updating and stuff......

Looks like I'm just going to wait on a ROM

I'd try skydragon, or wait for the upcoming CM12 being released later this month. I can't use wi-fi on skydragon, so i'll just use CM11 until CM12 comes out. It's going to rock.

Here's the damn thing! I don't know which device you came from but if you want a Android L rom, there's a few here. GPE and CM12. If you want GPE, you may need the lastest firmware to enjoy the best of it! Whereas CM12 is stil buggy. Whichever, its your call...
Don't be rude to others when they simply answer you in kindness. If you're so great, next time bloody hell look through the forum before posting in Q&A -.-

I'm on complete stock 4.4.4 I don't want extras thrown in. Sky dragon has extras and so does cm12. I rather have complete stock.

[Q] Latest ARHD v CM10.3

Hi - forgive me if this has been covered already.
About 12/18 months ago I flashed a version of AR onto my HTC One X - absolutely brilliant! Thing that impressed me the most was the battery life which more than doubled. Well, before Christmas I installed CM10.2 - it took a while to figure out where I was going wrong, and did have a bit of help from one or two people on here, thank you very much.
However, I can practically watch my battery drain now. So I have a couple of questions please...
Firstly, I've plaid with with the performance tweaks but they don't seem to do a great deal. I've restricted my CPU speed and a couple of other mods but it doesn't seem to do a great deal. Is there anything else I can do so that my battery lasts past midday?
Secondly I have had to freeze Theme Provider using Titanium Backup because I got that annoying pop up window after installing/uninstalling a theme. Is there a simple way of getting this back?
Finally (I know I said a couple of questions - sorry), if I wanted to revert back to ARHD, all the ROM's for seem to be for 4.2 or below only, yet I have 4.3.1. Is this right? If not, could somebody point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance
Battery life sense vs aosp has been discussed many times, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543222
4.2.2 is the latest and final release by HTC, sadly there will be no more official updates.

last official from htc is 4.2.2
It says 4.3.1 because you are on a custom rom. For instance there are now aosp roms (cm11).that's android 4.4 ...... Sense roms are indeed up to 4.2.2 and not beyond that.

I see, thanks. So, to go back to installing the latest version of Android Revolution isn't just as simple as getting the latest ROM for your mobile phone then?
If you want a custom sense 5 rom then i suggest to use philz touch recovery 5.15 and install a clean new sense 5 rom. If you want to go back to 100% stock rom you need a nandroid backup of the stock rom.

[Q] Tasker call forwarding does not work in KK4.4.4

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini LTE version and installed Carbon ROM Kitkat 4.4.4 from F4k (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642488).
Now I installed Tasker from the Playshop. I want to do a call forward with Tasker (triggered ny NFC).
when the task is started (manually of by the NFC app), Tasker claims that call forwarding was correctly done. However, call forwarding is not set up as it should, it seems that nothing actually happened with the telephone itself.
What could that be? possibly KK 4.4.4 is too restriced now?
Maby somebody has an idea, I searched and did not find a solution yet.
Cheers, Frank
You should ask to carbon developer they may have an answer for you... Btw remember carbon rom is a custom rom and they could have some bug.. You should try an stock kk 4.4.2 for your model..

okeydokoey, so you just use the kernel which comes with the stock ROM? Or do you use another kernel?
I thought, that root is not really possible with the kernel of the stock ROM.

Thanks for your feedback. I was waiting for a new kernel for KK4.4.2 of Stock ROM.
I will first try Stock ROM 4.2.2 to see, whether my original problem is solved by that. If so, than I may try version 4.4.2, need to check how I can install that on my phone. . .

The above post by ckpv5 worked for me. Just flash the zip in recovery and you should be good to go.
Looks great but i dont want to completely replace sense dialer i just want to be able to install the Google dialer apk but it just doesn't seem to work it did on kitkat but lollipop is a wall of frustration that is taking some getting used to
works great on sense 7 I do have a question though does it have the setting where if its an unknown number it will take it off of google?

RESOLVED : sense 6 KK ROM

does anyone have a suggestion for a sense 6 KK ROM without all the bells and whistles , and preferably without gapps. maybe a strange request. have looked thru all the m8 threads i could find , just thought maybe i overlooked one. thanks for any suggestions.

SlimKat is light if thats what you are looking for.
otherwise, you could try stock, root and remove unwanted apps with titanium backup or similar

OP specified Sense ROM.
OP, what software version are you looking for? That is just as important as KK versus LP, due to firmware differences even between KK builds.
What carrier version of the M8 do you have?

SOLVED : after more searching was still unable to find a sense ROM without gapps. so i downloaded a KK rom and used 'total commander' to strip it down.

Yeah, I've never seen such a thing (and debloated was your best option). Sense doesn't even really use a gapps package like AOSP ROMs do. But rather, their own HTC Sense skinned apps. Closely tied into the Sense framework, so deploying the apps separately would probably not be a good idea.
Mike1986 has a download link in his ARHD thread and if you search around he has a odexed and deodexed stock 4.4.4 flashable. Then just buy root explorer from the play store and start removing unwanted bloat.
