This is an official nightly beta build for the HTC One M8.

Bugs:
You tell us.
HTC One M8 specific bugs:
None so far
Install Instructions:

1. Download ROM
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Please backup your ROM before you begin!
4. You need a full wipe* if coming from another ROM.
5. Flash the ROM
6. Flash 4.4 Gapps
7. Reboot
8. Let it sit a while.

*NOTE: You are more than welcome to dirty-flash (i.e. only wipe cache/dalvik cache) between each of our nightly builds. However, there are times when we push certain changes/updates that WILL cause errors (force closes, etc.) if you choose to dirty-wipe. In such cases, please DO NOT report bugs in this thread until/unless you have done a full wipe (/data and /system) and tried again. If there is any indication of a dirty-flash in your bug report, it will probably be ignored. See my signature for additional information. :)

Dynamic F-Sync
This is a goodie by faux123, so all credits go to him for creating this unique feature !

Many kernels just disable synchronous writes to file to speed up system. While this works neatly, it is also dangerous as processes believe that file writes are actually synced to disk (or mmc media in our case) while this is not yet true ! The gain is a noticeably smoother user experience, but the risk of doing so is to have a corrupted filesystem if the device crashes, user pulls battery, battery fully depletes ... so that the device is turned off unexpectedly. To allow for the benefit, but to minimize the risk, faux123 created dynamic fsync, which while the screen is on, will defer file sync temporarily, but when screen gets turned off, a flush is called to synchronize all outstanding writes keeping your data safe.

All media output to speaker issues are now resolved...new build in the oven it will be labeled 5/7 instead of 5/6, when it finishes building.

Haven't used speaker too much in call since call audio was just fixed yesterday, so any feedback on that by users is welcome.
This is a stable beta, so there may be minor issues and/or things that neither I or the testers have run into yet.
Although most issues had been detected in testing and fixed prior to release.

So when you play a song via speakers will it sound as loud and as clear as sense? Can anyone confirm?

I am loving this rom. Everything I love about AOSP. I have not tested call quality or sound as of yet because I'm at work. Data speeds are great. Wifi hasn't dropped out yet. I love the features!! Will reply back soon after I test the sound and camera.

WOW, LTE Signal is 100% 1st time ever at office.

What did you all do to my LTE? For the past year, I have bounced between H+ and LTE with no more than 1-2 bars at anytime with my S3, S4 and M8 (all the way through this morning at 0900)...I have been at full bars, LTE since LS booted...WOW, THANK YOU AGIAN!
