Important Notes

• You must complete a full wipe prior to installing this ROM the first time. We also recommend wiping between upgrades, but you are welcome to try upgrading without a wipe. However, no support will be provided if you file a bug without having wiped prior to submission.
• After the initial setup you must reboot the device once more to activate the Tweaks module. Otherwise it will not work

Donations

• Making this ROM for the HTC One M8 is fun for me. But I'm still developing without device at the moment. So if you like my work a small donation is always very welcome and would help me to get a device faster

@chrisch1974 are the mods in your rom xposed based or are they built into the framework?

I am thinking that you should have no problem with this as the UL base is the one from ATT?

I was wondering a similar thing about Sprint. If anyone has tried this on their Sprint based phone please let me know. I would like to do this.

Always love new roms coming in!! Does this rom have system write protection already disabled.?

I didn't had time yet to check with which devices it is compatible. But I think I read somewhere that it should be compatible with AT&T. For Sprint. I would make a backup and try to flash it. You will see then if it works. And it would be a great help for us developers to find it out.

The flashing in recovery has a check for the correct device. Maybe you need to remove it before. Let me know and I point you what you have to remove before flashing.

I will have a look on it. It shouldn't be such a problem to add it for the next update.

We expected some problems with disabling the write protection yesterday during final testing. Therefore I removed the module from the rom. But I will make an package for those willing to test it.

@chrisch1974 are the mods in your rom xposed based or are they built into the framework?

All tweaks are made with Xposed And I will try to keep this up as long as possible.

I did it , so far haven't notice any glitch at all I'll post here if I find anything wrong, I have deleted some system/app and some system /prive-app files so far so good and I also edited the default.xml inside the customize/acc folder to show the AT&T LTE icon in the statusbar by the way yes I do have the AT&T model of the M8 and I can confirm this Rom it is compatible with it

If any change is made to the system partition before the module is loaded, you will run into problems. There shouldn't be any problems if it is loaded at boot on a clean system.

The module is loaded with an init script directly on "on fs". It worked good for a longer time. But after pushing some files there was a hard reboot and after it /system was broken and we were forced to run a e2fsck. But it's possible that it has another cause too. I personally don't have a M8 and I forgot to tell my tester to grab a dmsg from the crash.
