WIP - Google Play Edition - M8

chriskader · Apr 7, 2014

I was able to take a base from another XDA Dev (Thanks graffixnyc)

Script Modifications:
Mount points
Build.Prop check was removed until I find the correct ID for the Verizon M8
boot.img was removed

Working:
Boots
Bluetooth

Not working:
Camera
No cellular connection (No Data/Text/Calls)
GPS

Download: Link
MD5: bc44801ce43752e36375cfa6fb43ae1d

I think this will make a good base to help with further GPE development on the Verizon M8!

Flash at your own risk - I am not responsible for bricked devices. CWM Backup is HIGHLY recommended.

Correct ro.build.product name: htc_m8wl (Will be added on next update)

SELECT YES WHEN CWM ASKS YOU ABOUT RECOVERY REPLACEMENT.

Love to see threads like this

For the data/cell, move over the libril* file(s) in /system/lib from our Verizon stock ROM to the GPE ROM (do one at a time) and see if that fixes the issue with data. Also may want to verify the build.prop references the appropriate RIL ffilename if different from in GPE build.prop.

For SMS/MMS, try moving the *apns* files from /system/etc on our Verizon stock rom to GPE and again see if that fixes the SMS/MMS issue. If that doesn't resolve it, it's probably buried in the framework-res.apk under /xml/. You could try extracting the contents of the Verizon framework-res.apk and simply copy over the /xml/apns.xml into the GPE framework-res.apk.

Biggest advice I can give you is only move and test 1 file at a time. Sounds Tedious but it will save you sooo much time in the long run.

Good to see you working on this

If you needed the mount points for our device, I pulled them a while back.

[MOUNTPOINTS] HTC One M8

Not sure if they are different from the base device in which this gpe base came from

-HTC One m8-

I was waiting for this! Thanks for kicking it off, I will be more than happy to test for you when it gets to that point.

It is not the cdma or the gsm radio.......basically it is like the drivers for it. The hardware it there and it works, but without the drivers you can't use it. But we will have it working soon...I'll be on it all night and tomorrow since I finally get a day off. So unless someone beats me to it you can expect most of it to be working tomorrow.

digitalhigh · Apr 8, 2014

Hey, you beat me to it! I started working on a GPE port last night, but didn't get anything finished. I'm downloading this now, and have gobs of experience fixing data between carrier versions of HTC devices - down to rewriting most of telephony-common.jar from scratch for my MIUI port.

In short...today is my birthday so I'll be out celebrating, but I'll see what I can do with this if time allows. I've got a good idea which bins and libs are required to make data happen, so I'll see if I can't help out.

I have been copying .lib files from stock to GPE without luck. Since this is my main device I have to be careful about how much down time this phone has

There's been occasions where the drivers have to be written from scratch for HTC because they are not open source. Hopefully we don't get stuck there

I ordered a SIM adapater. Once it comes in I can swap between my M8, S4 and Galaxy Nexus. That will let me work and get this thing going faster as I Do not need to worry about my phone being down. 2 M8s would be even better though
