Bit in bold: Lucky you.... I am getting an average of just over 500 mah using the Sony charger and cable that came included. That is circa 6 hours to charge from empty to full. This is whether I use the Sony charger or the BB 2A charger I have, which charges my GFs HTC One M8 and my old N5 in...

I came from an HTC One M8. Reason, screen too small. Camera was crap as well - although I was generally OK with it so that wasn't really the reason, but the OPO camera definitely seems a decent chunk better. The even better battery life was a welcome bonus.

Agreed with others, does seem like a very good upgrade. I've just swapped out stuff like the dialer, launcher, messages, keyboard etc etc and it's mostly pretty Nexus like in most respects but it seems to have excellent stability and battery life so far and it does look a bit nicer overall...

Hard to time it but I'd say the screen comes back on in less than half a second. When double clicking it'd definitely be less than half a second.

Screen turns off, does not turn back on.

On mine a double tap on the power button does not turn the flashlight on IF the screen is already on. I got the impression it should work at any time. Works fine IF screen is off. HTC One M8 with Sense Lollipop.

I can live with it, as I've pretty much replaced every Sense app (bar lockscreen) with something Material Designed (and usually better to boot). It's only the odd time you really notice any change now and things look a lot more 'nexusy'

I've just put the Sense 5.01 developer edition on my phone. I've previously run it with GPE (KK+LP) and KK Sense. Can't comment on battery life just yet, but it brings a few welcome upgrades for me. + Trusted place + face + Card notifications (on lock screen) + Search in settings + Still...

Excellent guide. I've flashed a fair few ROMs in my time, but I certainly don't consider myself to be an expert, yet when I normally read guides for flashing ROMs, they always end up being 100x more complicated than in the instructions, but yours were spot on. Thanks for this guide! :good:

No worries :) The camera is probably the biggie for me - everyone knows the camera on the M8 isn't class leading, but its really not bad at all with the Sense camera app IMO, however on GPE, I found it sub-par particularly in speed terms but also quality, ease of use and so on. The Sense app...

I love stock Android, but I went back to Sense. In the end, I just wanted my phone to have maximum functionality:- Sense Camera is way, WAY better than the Vanilla Google one. With the Sense camera app, the picture quality most of the time is passable if not decent (it was better indoors for...

:laugh:. No.

Mine is generally very good, but is, like pretty much most Android devices I've had, rather inconsistent. It seems to be at its best when its actually being used. 8 hours SOT is not unthinkable when used heavily through a day when connected to WiFi networks. However, I went out all day...

Final post from me on this thread. Its been several weeks now since I've had the GPE firmware installed on my HTC One M8, and I don't regret it one bit. The battery life is at least as good, but I possibly think better, I'm generally always averaging 4+ SOT, whereas it would be just shy of...

In case anyone is interested, I did the conversion to GPE. Much better, now feels as fast or faster than my n5, but it now charges much faster and the battery life seems as good as before. Will try and test with some music at some point in the coming week to see if there is any improvement but I...
