I flashed the one you posted last night.

My "toggling" was from the quick settings.
What toggle? I don't see one :confused:.

If you're using GravityBox, make sure you have the CDMA Network Modes selected for the toggle, otherwise it'll get reset to the GSM modes. If you set it up like I have it in the screenshot below, it should work fine:

I noticed the 3G/4G icon (with the up/down arrows to the right) is basically under the signal icon. It looks cool with the 3G or 4G in the top left of the square created by the signal triangle, but when signal is not full strength, you can see the up/down arrows from the data icon through the right half of the signal bars. Is that intentional or a bug, and is it just me? :)
I don't know what you mean. A screenshot would be helpful here. It doesn't sound like anything I've seen, though.

Curious if one of the custom kernels for GPE would work on this?
I have no idea. Someone would have to nandroid and give it a shot. I'm not even sure how the custom kernels are flashed (full boot image or unpackbootimg and replace zImage only). If you point me in the right direction I guess I can take a look.

If it's just zImage, then there's no reason they shouldn't work.

EDIT: After looking at them, I don't think they will work without breaking stuff, but I'm willing to give it the ol' college try anyway. Good thing I already finished rebuilding my TWRPs today.

Well that didn't go well. It doesn't appear that the kernels are repacking the included boot.img - they appear to include their own, which won't boot because of the dtb image used. I can try and repack the zips with the ramdisk and dtb from this build and see if that works, but that'll be too much work for most users.

Got it flashed, but WiFi is borked. So not promising. Trying ElementalX next (after a conference call).

When I boot the boot animation is choppy, but it seems to work itself out. WiFi is working w/ElementalX, btw, after replacing the dtb in the boot image in the zip. Getting through AROMA wasn't fun, but I got through it. So I'll see how this runs for a bit.

It also appears that overclocking isn't working with ElementalX, so I think that confirms that the custom kernels are a no-go.

Doubt I'll include that. I think it's unnecessary, especially for a ROM that is mostly free of bloat. It won't even fully work without all the OMADM stuff, which only works on Sense.

Cool the apk I posted should be the most up to date version if you want to use it. Working with no issues here.

I have the latest APK, but thanks. Like I said, I shouldn't have for a need for it anytime soon anyway.

I have gotten this a few times now, randomly while doing different things. Just me?

Rebooting fixes it, but a bit annoying. :)

I've seen that a few times. I just click OK and it seems fine.

If you delete Stk.apk from /system/app, it should take care of it.

Thanks. When I press "OK" the Sprint connectivity is disabled off and I get "Emergency Calls Only" notification until I reboot. I just deleted stk.apk per your suggestion. I'll let you know if it happens again. :)

    ROM Fixes
    None for current build

    (for prior builds)
    Updated APNs (4.4.3) - This will install the Nexus 5 APNs to the device (along with the CM APNs for eHRPD/LTE) and delete the telephony database. These APNs are built into the framework of the latest version.
    Gray Background Fix (4.4.3) - This fixes the light gray background for the volume display, power menu & other dialog boxes that were discolored. This fix is built into the latest version.
    Framework/Data Fix (4.4.2) - Fixes phone calls and mobile network settings on original ROM. This file will not work on the latest version, but this fix has been incorporated into the latest version.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
    Q: I just got an OTA update notification. Can/should I take it?
    A: No! This ROM is a port - which means it is already modified just so it will work on our devices. Even if the OTA didn't fail because you have a custom recovery (which it will), it wouldn't boot as-is anyway. Wait until the ROM base is updated into a flashable format by the ROM maintainer, and then flash it - that's the only way to have the latest software. What you CAN do which would be very helpful is to capture a copy of the OTA zip. This file is typically named "update.zip" and usually downloads to /cache or /sdcard/Download. Then the ROM maintainer can use that file to update the base.

    Q: How do I update profile/PRL on this ROM?
    A: Profile and PRL can only be updated on a Sense ROM. Since GPE is a port from GSM, it doesn't include these features. The easiest way to update Profile/PRL is to nandroid your current setup, restore a Sense nandroid (or flash a stock rooted Sense ROM), update those items, and then restore your GPE nandroid. MultiROM is also an option.

    Q: I can't find Developer options. Where are they?
    A: Google has them hidden by default. To activate them, navigate to Settings -> About phone, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Build number" seven times.

    Q: I toggled Mobile Network in the Quick Settings and now I have no data connection. How to fix?
    A: First of all, there is no Mobile Network toggle in the ROM by default - if you have one, it means you're using GravityBox (GB). If you're going to use the toggle from GravityBox, you have to set it to "Use CDMA network modes" in the GB settings (Statusbar Tweaks -> QuickSettings management -> Tile specific settings -> Network mode tile settings). If you toggle it before you change that setting, you will end up on a GSM Network mode, and thus have no data connection. To get back to a working connection, follow the instructions at the bottom of this post. This post also has some additional information for a fully working GravityBox toggle.


    4.4.x-specific questions:

    Q: I tried switching to ART in Developer options, but when it rebooted, it was set back to Dalvik. How do I get ART to stick?
    A: Disable the Xposed framework. Xposed is currently incompatible with ART. More information here.

    Q: Can I use a custom kernel with this ROM?
    A None of the existing custom GPE M8 kernels will work as-is. However, I was able to modify flar2's ElementalX GPE test kernel build for 4.4.3 to work on this ROM. It can be downloaded here. That is currently the only custom kernel that will work with this ROM.

    My personal ROM

    Don't know if anyone is interested, but I thought I'd post the ROM I'm personally using right now. It's GPE-based, but it includes many pieces of Sense. I call it "Sensified", mostly because I'm using @digitalhigh's Sensify module to enable BlinkFeed and all the plugins ;).

    Here are the ROM features:
    - Includes BlinkFeed & Plugins, w/HTC Weather (w/animations), HTC Clock (Google DeskClock removed)
    - Access to Sense apps on Play Store enabled (HTC File Manager, Calendar, Mail, Tasks, etc.)
    - HTC Sense Input w/EN Language pack (thanks @ckpv5)
    - Includes HTC Music (w/DLNA server and HTC Connect included) - removed Play Music
    - Includes HTC Camera (A9 version) w/Removable storage option (Google Camera removed)
    - Includes HTC Gallery (thanks @andybones)
    - Includes HTC Video Player (thanks @ckpv5)
    - Includes Xposed v79 (enabled by default) - thanks @rovo89
    - Includes Sensify Module (enabled by default) - supports HTC Themes
    - Includes GravityBox module (enabled by default)
    - Includes HTC FM Radio (thanks @lyapota)
    - Includes BeyondStockᵀᴹ kernel w/f2fs compatibility
    - Rooted (SuperSU v2.66)
    - Includes Sprint VVM (requires changing VM number to your phone # and probably doesn't work anyway :/)

    I think that's it. So if you want to try it, it's on the Downloads tab. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't, since I understand not everyone likes BlinkFeed and the HTC apps.

    Google Play Edition Port for Sprint - SkyDragon Edition - Lollipop

    Thanks @HolyAngel for the ROM. All I did was tweak the build.prop, apns, & boot.img. This ROM might not require decompiling the framework after all!

    First boot will take a while (remember, we're on ART now), and it might take a bit for the data connection to kick in too. I know it too a bit for my 5Ghz WiFi network to show up when going through setup.

    It's also possible that data won't work at all. But these are things I can't test, which is why I need you :)

    So, without further ado, get flashing!

    P.S. I also just successfully flashed the ROM as a secondary in MultiROM, so no worries if you just want to try it out without potentially messing up your entire current setup ;).

    I just tried using the dt.img from the cm kernel, with the gpe zImage, and the camera lag seems to be gone...

    ALL HAIL THE DEVELOPERS <3<3<3


    Is that my thread? Let me help.

    So, here it is. I recommend you do a full wipe, just to be safe. I won't ask you again for a while.

    Firmware - it auto extracts to sdcard, but you need to reboot to bootloader to make it flash. If it doesn't work, you can manually extract it and either RUU flash or put on external SD. Firmware is carrier agnostic - you should be on Sprint 4.4.4 first, then flash the fw included with this.

    Also, YES. This will work on ALL carriers. Just pick sprint in installer. Captain has tested.

    God...so much going on right now. I'll update the OP in my thread with better info shortly, but @Captain_Throwback has asked me to take over sprint duties...so you guys will be seeing a lot more of me. Check the link in the quote's OP for deets. :D
