[ROM (not completed)] Raphael Ophone

Hello there. Since saturday evening I'm working on oPhone port. I'm porting from oPhone SDK which is free to download from there
Code:
http://www.oms-sdn.com/
you only need to register.
EDIT (7/7/09 - 17:25):Hey, sorry for "inactivity" but I was working on it but I've updated only my twitter (@detoxcz). I've skipped radio initialization so now you can play with it a lil more. Graphics issue still persists
Get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nwdxbmixjm0
EDIT (18/6/09 - 17:18):l Okay, another news. I'm releasing the latest update.zip. Now you can swipe down notification bar and play with it. Graphics issue still persists. I'm workin on it.
Latest build, take it or leave it.
EDIT (17/6/09 - 18:09): We have an update. I won't upload it but now the screen can go black and when you hit Menu you will get to lockscreen (but there is still that crazy graphics issue) and you can see the blue ring (actually, due to graphics issue it's only moving rectangle). Screen is now reacting, when it's dim (not fully black, only dim) and you will tap on it, it will get brightness as before.
EDIT: Some news. I've tried flashing my latest version into G1 and then nandroid. These files I've copied to dir where oPhone emulator images was. I have used mine ramdisk.img, system.img, userdata.img but not the kernel. It works, phone works but can't get trough "Searching SIM Card" dialog (that should be the touch screen block at G1) and when I have done screenshot in DDMS it's same as DDMS from G1. So I'm not sure what the reason for this graphics issue. My personal tip is, that it's kernel with the drivers. I have also tried to copy this (nandroid-ed images from G1) into images forder of regular SDK (not the oPhone one) and phone didn't even start. I'm attaching screenshot with DDMS and emulator.
I already have first test version. It's only for testing because it won't boot properly (in logcat you can see the system is running but no display feedback).
You can get it here
Code:
http://www.edisk.cz/stahni/69148/update.zip_77.28MB.html
(I will upload it on odther sites too)
You WILL need haykuro's new SPL (same as for Hero)
Reason why I'm releasing this is, that I want anyone who can to help. Please try to find out bugs and solutions and write to me and I will do new update.zip. I'm working on it right now but getting even worse than before.
So thanks for your help and advices
PS: You can write me mail: [email protected] or ICQ/AIM: 278-783-808
EDIT: New version is out. It's still only testing version but now it boots and you can see it booted in Home application. From now you can't do anything, you can yust switch out your keyboard and it will animate to landscape and back when you will switch it back. I'm trying my best to get you fully workin' oPhone ROM.
Get it here:
Code:

and screen from ddms (it's nicer than in device)

Is anyone else having an issue downloading this...?
Mines constantly stuck on 6%.

Is it safe to say that its a alpha release or pre beta release.

it will not boot at this time dont flash lol

Yep, if expecting booting to Home screen i have to dissapoint you. What this do is, that it's booting and booting and booting and there is issue with Video drivers or somethink like that. But when it's booting, you can connect it by ADB.

I think one of the biggest hurdles we are going to come across is driver support on the G1. Rumor that Haykuro had it running on his G1 could have meant recovery console...etc. The Hardware is pretty different on the Lenovo oPhone. I don't think just pushing over some libraries and some .so's are going to do it. I can only assume it will take possibly a recompile of the kernel in order to run on the G1's Hardware.

Yeah, for the meantime I think I'll just stick with playing on the emulator.
The home screen is really the only thing I found so far that makes this an OS I'd like to flash. Personally I think the Rosie UI is a bit nicer.
I do like the ability to have up to 9 screens though.

no this ophone runs on the htc magic which is close to our phone there is a pic of it some where and htc is releasing it this month

Well I agree with you that it seems unlikely that we'll be able to use the full ROM as is, but it seems like we should be able to cannibalize some of the libraries/apks.

Haykuro already ported this, someone might wanna contact him!
Quote from his Twitter page:"no i don't have an oPhone. just got hold of the SDK (openly available http://www.oms-sdn.com/ here) but i DID port the image to the g1
7:06 PM Jun 12th from web"
http://www.twitter.com/haykuro

here is the pic in case any one was curious but its been posted for a while so most of you have probably seen it

i just sent haykuro a tweet asking if he would ever release his port or to atleast tell us what he did to get it working. Is there a way to set the os to english instead of chinese in the emulator.

[Q] currently in the middle of researching....

ok so my wife is getting frustrated with the bloatware/sense reboots on the mt4gs....(I have stressed to her the importance of backing out of apps the correct way and not task killing but I guess old habits die hard...)
At any rate I'm researching/reading through the threads on here and I've got just a few questions that I haven't seen come up yet (in the same iteration that I'm thinking of)
- How much different is this phone from the Sensation z710e? (aside from screen size & physical keyboard)
- I'd like to just root and remove the bloatware and keep the phone stock (no rom install) [ok, she would like it to stay stock, I'm leaning towards bulletproof myself] so the question is:
Is it possible to stay with factory settings after rooting (s-off)/de-bloating this phone so that she can continue to receive o.t.a updates? (odds are though that o.t.a updates may put her to s-on again, possibly)
- Is there a way to exit the internet browser and have it reset, i.e: press home screen after browsing, then go back into internet and have the home screen come up and not last viewed site?
- sorry for my long winded statement/questions I just kind of think of way too many things at once.
- FWIW, the h-boot is 1.44.0007 so I'm fairly certain I'd have no issue using alapharev and the walkthrough guide on here to s-off and root.
- titanium backup is not recommended for the bulletproof rom? that sucks, but Blue must have his/her reasons. ( I think I'm misreading this but I'm not sure yet, there are a lot of 'link-to' posts in the first post of that thread)
- anyone know if any of the following apps aren't working with the themes or the rom? (yeah I know this would be better geared towards the Bp rom thread but why make two separate posts)
+handcent mms (used in place of stock messenger service)
+beautiful widgets HD
+live wallpapers in general
Sorry for the overly noobish-ness...please be gentle

I don't think you will receive ota updates unless u are not rooted, however there are countless apps that will let you remove anything you want once you are rooted.
I would imagine that if you delete the stock messaging app and you are only left with handcent, it will take over everything automatically and you should have no issues... However I wouldn't try that until you made a nandroid backup in clockworkmod recovery

Ota updates will always be posted onto the forums. The latest one turned the phone s-on and unrooted though, so I didn't try it

I think on this one, the only way to solve it will be to stop using a task killer. You shouldn't be having any problems like this, certainly not to the point of being 'frustrated' with it, so it's pretty conclusive that the task killer is your issue.
The problem is that apps don't get to shut down correctly, any data in use either doesn't get cleared or becomes corrupted, and the longer this process continues the worse it gets.
I know it's hard to kill old habits, but she will continue to have a worse and worse Android experience on any device with any ROM as Android grows unless she stops using a task killer.

Yep, you should have no issues, it's pretty straightforward. You can just run the program, flash superuser and be done with it, but I would also recommend installing Rom manager from the market and updated your clockworkmod to the official one for the device.
Might as well update superuser too, but you can then leave it alone and call it done.
Will be stock and fine until an OTA is applied, then you'll probably lose root and possibly the ability to get it back.
You can install bloater and busybox (as per the bloater thread) and be able to remove stock stuff easily with it once you get root.

(he)
Some people have used titanium and it's been fine, i'm still on the fence about it.
Issue was I was changing a lot of things, and when people restored app data to things i've changed it caused problems - so the best way to handle that was to say don't use it.
I know the thread is long now for the Bulletproof ROM, but in it there are some pretty detailed instructions on how to use Titanium with the ROM that people generally agree upon. I've never tried it so can't say personally.
I'll eventually put it back in, but i'm pretty busy with work right now and getting time in my dev chair is hard - hopefully i'll get a break in my schedule so I can get some work done soon. You should be able to use it, just don't try to restore any data from another ROM or previous version of Bulletproof and you should be alright.

Beautiful widgets HD and live wallpapers work fine, never used handcent so can't say, but don't see why it wouldn't work.
If it ends up not working, post in the thread and i'll fix it.

That right there is what makes xda great. ^^^^^
Thank you.
On a side note, the megaupload site was taken down....so I'm daring to ask the following question: the 'how-to-root guide >>>XDA LINK<<< said to d/l other files instead of the ones from alpharev's site.....they were hosted on megaupload. Now what ? lol
Why can't the files downloaded from alpharev's site work?
I see that in the link, the Op said that it is the adb tools for the MT4GS, why wouldn't the current adb tools I have work/ones d/l from alpharev's site?

I've always used the file from the author, I got it from them when it was first available, and just recently when a friend of mine got this phone.
Always works fine for me, and I would rather use the tool from the original author anyways generally speaking.
When you run Revolutionary tool, either install clockworkmod or not at your choosing, it doesn't matter because when you're done with it all you should go to the market and download ROM Manager. Then you can use it to upgrade or install your clockworkmod to the most recent version ( 5.0.2.7 ) directly, it will find the phone, download the right version, and install it for you. Couldn't be easier.
You do have to have superuser (root) access to use ROM Manager, so make sure to root it after running the Revolutionary tool.

Bug Village just stopped working...WTF

Just wondering if anyone ran into this issue. I've been playing bug village for a little while now, Avoiding paying for coins, I would set a few tasks a day for the bugs and check back to make sure they are fed.
For a few days in the game, I started getting black screens but, it came back and worked. Yesterday, it just stop totaly working, it loads to a black screen then exits. I can not enter the game any more and I am afraid of losing my place at level 15.
Does anyone know a fix for this or a way I can really backup this game, so I can uninstall it and not lose my place ???
Thanks for any advice !!!

There was an update releases yesterday. Did you update?

Yea try updating it, either by waiting for the notification or by going to the game and hit update.

Depends on your phone model and firmware version. For Samsung or certain older HTC firmware, it's possible to back up the data.

Verizon HTC Trophy running 8107 (newest build)....Does that mean no ?

I said firmware, not OS build, but probably.
Are you able to interop-unlock your phone?

Yes, my phone is interop-unlocked. I am not fully unlocked due to having a CDMA based phone (no one really lets us play) and no one supports a full unlock on my phone

There are two apps you can try: TouchXplorer (on http://touchxperience.com) and HtcRoot Webserver (see my sig). Both can access the filesystem of HTC phones and let you move or back up files (backup is a little tricky with TouchXplorer but it can be done). You can also try using DiagProvXML if you know the path to the data you want to move/copy/whatever (it'll be under \Applications\Data\<GUID_OF_APP>\Data\IsolatedStore)
These apps use a variety of different hacks to access or modify the filesystem (provxml is currently write-only). Without knowing your firmware version, I can't tell you which ones will or will not work. Give it a shot, though...

Thanks for your help. TouchXplorer stopped working after Mango, it stopped working on Interop unlocked but, still works on Fully unlocked devices, as far as I know. I have it installed, it loads but, does not do anything beyond that, the Dev closed the discussion due to it not working any more.
I looked over your Webserver, I'm not a programmer so it's out of my skilset to make it into a installable file.
and sad to say, with 8107 firmware Connection Setup no longer works (error "Carrier not in Database"), so proXML is out too...
I am running stock Firmware, 2305.13.20110.605
Any other thoughts ?

Um, there's pre-compiled XAPs of the webserver attached to the thread...?
Mind you, if TouchXplorer isn't working for you, then HtcRoot won't either.

I wish there was a way to get TouchXplorer working, but, I didnt notice any pre-compiled ones in the thread, I'll try that.
Any other way ?

Look on the webserver thread, not the HtcRoot thread (there's a precompiled XAP on there too, but it's just a test app; doesn't *do* anything except check compatibility).
I've pretty much outlined all the viable options for you already. If none of them work, then... hope there's a fix released soon, or a better backup option? I don't know, I've never played the game, it sounds awfully Farmville-esque, so maybe waiting that long isn't an option...

I tried your webserver.... but, browsing the device just gives me a "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007001F): A device attached to the system is not functioning. "
I saw a post by you saying it's not compatable (someone else had the same error)..
That is pretty cool tho (a web server on my phone, very cool)... I wish I could get my HTC Trophy fully unlocked so I can play with these cool tools....
The game was fun, kind of like you said, Farmville-esque, but, instead of spending real cash, you can just time go by, it was fun and I would play it one or 2 times a day to get my ants working and build up acorns (money in the game). After playing it 2 weeks, every day, 2-3 times a day, it died before I could get all the achivements. I just wanted to finsih the game..
I want to thank you for trying to help, I know there is only so much that is possable with my phone now but, thanks for trying

Even I have d same problem on my HTC radar and d black screen blocks d vision but d icons R visible & if I drop some food then the house did is visible otherwise only small areas are visible what to do

@DavidinCT: Off-topic, but there's a version of the WebServer (which my project was actually built on) that does not use HtcRoot or even interop-unlock. Aside from its own data folder though, the only place it can access is read-only for \Windows.

On the subject of Bug Village, I am not the only one with this issue, if you look over the reviews in the marketplace, there is ton more with the same issue. I guess I can hold tight for an update, I guess...

Yeah, if it's a common issue, there are good odds the developer will fix it. If they don't, they won't get any more money from it...

Is there any way to re-interop? Focus S.

Hello,
In all my excitement over Tango, I neglected to read any of the warnings posted around the forums/web. I installed Tango via the cab sender method (neglected to make a backup) and everything still worked, or at least the homebrew apps I launched still did. Searching the forums, I found the Samsung firmware somewhere in the replies to the cab thread, and pushed it also. This was late at night and it wasn't until the next day I noticed I can't launch almost half of my homebrew apps. It's said restoring from a backup (don't have one) or flashing back to Mango is the only way to fix this. Is that true? Well ****. Because there is no ROMs (stock nor custom) for the Focus S..
What should I do?
Thanks in advance,

To make matters worse, the Wireless manager no longer appears to work for configuring MMS when carrier unlocked. I guess I'll just go back my Quantum's for hacking and hard reset this device ..ill wait a while though.

Do you have *any* homebrew apps that
A) you can still run
B) you marked as Trusted in WP7 Root Tools?
It sounds like what happened is that your phone reverted from interop-unlock to simple dev-unlock (you presumably have an AppHub account?). However, this does *not* revert root-unlock as applied by WP7 Root Tools. Root Tools itself requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERIVCES, and as such can't be run without interop-unlock. However, the apps that it has marked as Trusted will continue to run with full permissions (root unlock).
So, here's what you do.
First, identify an app that you can run (i.e. that isn't interop) and that is marked as Trusted.
Second, take the GUID of that app, and use that GUID to replace the ProductId of the Tango-update-workaround app (which essentially just restores interop-unlock).
Third, remove homebrew apps from your phone (but not the target app, the trusted one you can still run) until you are able to deploy an app (usually, this means reduce to 9 homebrew apps).
Fourth, use a XAP deployer that supports updating, and do an update-install of the workaround app (upgrade, because it's using the GUID of the already-installed target).
Fifth, run the workaround app, and then re-install your normal apps.

I did as you instructed, however I still have the 10 sideload limit and am unable to deploy any interop services.By tango workaround app, you meant relockprevent, correct?
Is there something I may have missed?
Like I said, I installed the Samsung LE2 update for the Focus S which is basically the KK2 equivalent, so provxml will no longer work.
Also, I do not have an apphub account.

Bump. Anyone have any ideas? A friend put a support ticket in with Samsung internal support to see if they can get the ROM.

Oh so it was that firmware update that just broke interop. Yeah I want to say at this point you are stuck. I doubt that Samsung will give the ROM since it isn't an issue that is preventing you from doing out of the box functionality.

isnt the provxml method using diagnostic tools the reason for this no longer working, what i mean by that is if you were to install the older version of the diag tool would that not restore functionality, or has the lock down of that gone much deeper? if you are able to install XAPs then find an older OEM update version pre KK2/LE2, open it up and rip out the diagnostic tool XAP, remove any previous installed version then send over the XAP....
just a thought, it might not work, but essentially i think thats what happens unless of course there are other dlls or drivers that the tool needs that have also been updated....
course it would be great to find someone willing and able to help crack the bootloader

Yeah I gave the suggestion to him in the Cab Sender thread to try and look on here for the Diag v 0109 or even 0210. That's the version that I have. Actually in the Cab Sender thread, I posted the cab file to the samsung firmware for Mango that should have that diagnostics version in the cab. You may be able to push that to your device

The old version was still installed after updating, it didn't work.

Ok, that means that the firmware also pushed out new Dlls to prevent proxvml. You are stuck unfortunately :-\

Ive been asking around and doing some research and as of today your stuck, sorry!
I did some poking around on DFTs website as well and there is absolutely ZERO work being done on it, mostly because it seems like the focus S is an AT&T only phone, there just isnt a pressing needed to do anything, plus most folk dont have a focus S to work with.
i dont know what it would take to get some help or even guidance on getting the bootloader replaced but at the moment, until another method is found, thats all there is.
Tho This might be interesting to look in to but DONT DO IT!
did i read somewhere else you dont have a preupdated backup or was it that the backup didnt work?

There is a lot of changes in those updates, if we could insert our own certificate to allow us to build our own signed cabs we could probably work it out, but alas we can only add a cert in to a custom ROM then flash it...

Yes, unfortunately I bought the phone from a guy here on XDA in May, never had to update it (had been cab updated to 8107 before I got it), never made a backup before installing tango (it's a small update, what could it possibly **** up, right?) Anyway the Focus S was announced yesterday as being available online at some Australian website so maybe there will be ROMs available in the future. I still haven't heard back from internal Samsung support, but have also asked the user I purchased the phone from if he has any backups, which I would restore from and immediately reset again to ensure his privacy.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind losing interop-unlock until 7.8 comes around, or WP8 (whichever I can afford first), but MMS also can't be configured using the Wireless Manager anymore, and that's an absolutely vital feature for me. Although, the WM has been known to not work for a lot of people, even pre-tango, but it worked flawlessly OOB for me prior to updating.

so you updated to the LE2 samsung update, was that via zune? (the last update it does in a row 3rd or 4th perhaps!) or did you cab send that as well?
if you went via zune then it does a backup as well, settings>update>restore

It was all done through the cab sender. There is no backup.

Just wanted to mention here... you know that CAB Sender is perfectly capable of making backups, right? It's one of the core operations the tool is capable of. Don't blame CAB Sender for you pressing S instead of B.
I just don't want people getting the impression that "through the cab sender" implies "there is no backup."

Fully aware, thank you.

Hello guys!
Got my device on the 8773 and did the samsung update...
Is there anyway to get my interop back ?
I have my backups (one the last 8773 without samsung update and the other is 7740 without anything =] )
Thanks a lot.

Restore your backup, do a little bit more reading on the subject of Tango with Interop Unlock, install the prevention app and mark it as trusted, and have at it. (Specifically, Tango will reset the "prevent relock" registry values, so you have to avoid the phone connecting to Microsoft until you have cleared them again).

Now that the Windows 10 Insider Preview supports the one M8 I'm going to give it a shot. Will report back how it all works out etc.
First since the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (2.0.3) now supports it as well. I will take this chance to do a restore on the phone.
Since no RUU are available for T-Mobile M8 and the tool has a firmware package available I'm going to let it flash over the device. If i can locate the downloaded firmware if its in any usable .nbh file that would help everybody else. I like to believe many bugs can be caused by a bad flash and since there's no RUU you can't necessarily rule some out.
Issues that are not on articles that I've read.
A lot of UI inconsistencies. App images on the start screen and the apps list are blurry depending on the app. Wasted space, a lot of the UI isn't scaled properly.
The start sceen has the option to go with the old school layour. Two Regular Square tiles across or Three across. Well it stays at three across no matter which one you pick. I tried removing all tiles just to see if they would reset a cache or registry somewhere and allow the two across layout. That caused me to loose the start screen entirely. Power the device off or on i will only see the all Apps list and the start button takes you to the list.
The Store Beta app appears to be just a link in the start start screen if unpinned you will lose it. While the regular App store in the apps list takes you to the WP8.1 app store.
To get my Google account synced up I have to do it via the Peoples app or Outlook Mail. There is no option to add a Google account or anything of that nature in the Settings app.
The nav bar is ALWAYS there. Some UI elements will remain under it similar to the same bug on WP8.1
All the bing apps are just links to the install page in the Beta Store. The Music Preview, Video Preview apps are also just links to the Beta store. Once you install them the link becomes the actual app, but you lose that path to the Beta store if you unpinned it from the start screen.
If copying something to/from the device. If the display times out and transfer is interrupted.
The brightness slider if you simply tap to jump around the level the actual brightness will not change. You'll have to slide it. I've always found WP levels to be too high. So i had to slide it from 100 and progress slowly for the changes to take affect.

So download an HTC 8X RUU and removed the RUU_SIGNED and UEFI_signed 8X files and replacing them with the M8 files that the Windows Phone recovery Tool downloaded. The RUU.exe was able to recognize my device and the new files. The phone is currently being reflashed with those .nbh files.
Update: The RUU.exe from the 8X RUU worked. Similar flash like the Windows Phone Recovery Tool.
Used the Windows Insider app to enable W10 updates. Waiting for the updates to appear.

I was prompted for a WP8.1 update, then was presented with this after the install.
Edit* Got prompted for W10 update. Screen shot included

On windows 10. First thing, the proportions on everything seems off. I'm all for smaller text since first things i do on android is lower the dpi. It just doesn't look right.
Going to do a factory reset, just to erase any lingering user data that might cause issues.
Couldn't take screen shots.

What I did to get up to this point.
Using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (and tested the RUU I uploaded) I made sure no stock updates came through.
Installed the Windows Insider app, which then got prompted for an update.
Once the first update was installed I ran the Windows Insider App again, The phone was automatically rebooted
Windows 10 update came up and installed.
Now performing a factory reset to have a clean Windows 10 to work with.

Keep up the good work! did the factory reset fix your DPI issues? Im an android m8 user, but if it were ever possible, I would install windows 10... always willing to try new stuff out

OP updated. Will spend the night out and see how it all goes down. It'll also give me a chance to test out how GPS and the new Maps app perform as well as Bluetooth.

Hope you're having luck with Windows 10. I just downgraded mine because I couldn't stand the amount of crashes that were consistently happening. You'd think the first thing they'd look into would be making sure the people app and contact related software worked before involving people in a beta test. I could understand bugs but I literally couldn't open the people app, and if I tried to search for a contact, the search would close. Its not even close to being a daily driver OS yet.

People app works fine on this end. I made sure to do a factory reset after the upgrade to W10 was done. Granted it is still technically an OS in beta there are an outstanding amount of issues for a build of 10080. What I've seen they have only just merged the underlying code from the Desktop branch. The universal apps have been touched up around the corners to make them work on smartphones, but user end of the experience is still a mess.
Some of the other things i've noticed.
Some apps continue to use a white or black colored font even when I change the theme. The Music Preview app for example. The text color remains white even after you switch to the light theme. So youre literally looking at a white screen playing music unless you switch back to the dark theme.
When attaching anything to a message if you chose to browse for your picture/video from the "This Device" or "Removal Disk D (sdcard)". When you go to actually select the picture nothing will happen. The picture wont get selected. Youll have to use the Photos option to use the separate app which most people will do anyways.
Text a contact whose number isn't in your Outlook contacts will remain as just a number even after syncing Google contacts which has the same saved. Threads where kept separate from each other with the Google Contact details in one thread and the other just the number. Only after saving the number to my Outlook account and linking both contacts (Google & Outlook) where the threads combined.
Maps turn by turn navigation will blend into any music you have playing. Compared to Google Maps which it would lower any audio being played and loudly tell you directions. The Maps app however will just keep all outgoing audio the same volume.

I had my fun on Windows 10 for over a week (closer to two weeks really). So much stuff messed up in day-to-day usage that I had to dial back to 8.1 for now.
I am on Verizon, the restore tool DOES NOT WORK on the Verizon version of the phone (Package not found error)! You must use ACDU and flash the rom yourself to go back to Windows 8.1!
On the bright side, even backups on Windows 10 are restoring on Windows 8.1.
The issues I experienced (almost all I believe to have have reported to Microsoft):
DPI issues and the option to change it being nonfunctional. (mentioned above because you'd have to be blind not to notice it right off the bat lol)
Dot View case is completely non-functional, although app still appears in Settings.
Changing theme from black to white and back again sometimes results in theme staying white on settings screen, but turning back to black on rest of setup.
Alarms do not migrate over to new alarm app in Windows 8.1, but old alarms will still go off(randomly)!
Emails notifications that were listed in the Action Center before migration do not disappear from Action Center after migration, they listed as a random registry value and must be cleared.
Count down timer will crash randomly when changing the hour
NBCNews app crashes on startup
Outlook will not migrate multiple Google accounts correctly. I had to remove both of my Google accounts (one for personal, one for work) and then readd them to get both of them to function. Also, Outlook cannot setup multiple accounts with different notification icons.
Adding accounts to Outlook is a pain in the ass (mentioned above)
Phone icon appears twice in apps list.
Phone randomly locks up after alarm, toast notification, or even incoming call goes off. You must eject the sim card to get the phone to reboot to access the phone again because the touch sensor will stop responding.
When trying to open attachments from Outlook, Project Spartan will open and give and error instead (with PDFs and Excel files anyway).
When browsing with Internet Explorer, if you try to use built in Bing, it will switch to Project Spartan.
Rendering issue with IE's address bar.
Project Spartan has so many issues, I won't even bother to list them all. Lots of issues with tabs and using the back button. Rendering is a huge improvement over IE, but the UI is a huge step back IMO.
When going back to the Start Screen after an extended length of time, the Start Screen must thaw. This phone has 2GBs of ram for Pete's sake! I don't expect it to behave like my Lumia 635!
Wi-fi switch in Wifi menu doesn't appear to have a red outline around it, only a switch.
Cortana no longer shows local news (I really liked that feature!)
Probably other issues, but I think I remembered most of them! I don't recommend trying this current build at all for ANYONE with an M8!
*edit* For anyone who wants to flash the Verizon rom on, the link to the rom is here. I have additional info on the process here along with a video.

Hi. I bought HTC One M8 for Windows mobile (T-Mobile US version) running WP 8.1 OS few days ago. Whenever I try to log into Microsoft account I get error code 0xFFFFFE70 saying 'We weren't able to activate your phone' with an advice to contact Microsoft support regarding error.
I have searched on-line for this error and have tried everything advised including correcting system date/time settings, soft/hard reset of phone, even reformatting the stock firmware with WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool) and also HTC custom tool. Nothing seems to resolve this error so far. Due to this I am unable to use windows store to download apps or log into my one drive on phone etc as each one of these requires Microsoft account login.
I was thinking maybe you can help me by providing me with latest windows 10 preview RUU for HTC M8 (T-Mobile). If you installed it on your M8 via WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool) then you can copy it from C:\ProgramData\HTC\Packages\Products (default directory for WDRT). Maybe Windows 10 preview would solve my problem.

how can i do this on the AT&T one?

Interested in upgrading to w10 with my Verizon One... Does it work right? I'm more concerned about going back to w8.1 in case I does not.

My experience with Windows 10 Mobile on the M8, prior to build .420 was more or less unpleasant. Battery drain was more than 8.1 (I even waited atleast 5 charge cycles to see if it changed), the bug after the upgrade caused if you have a passcode lock was still there (which means you have to reboot after the upgrade to be able to login), messaging would crash/hang sometimes, call quality for me was not so great, and sometimes I would get app freezes or other lockups where touch would not respond. I own the AT&T variant and I simply used the Windows Device Recovery tool to reset it back to Windows 8.1.
There is a way though using the interop tools found here on XDA to upgrade to the Redstone build. I have tested it on my Samsung ATIV SE without a sim card and so far so good for 1 day now, and I plan to update my M8 as well. If folks want I could report back how the Redstone build works with the M8?

Not trying to steal the OP steam at all, but in the event folks would like the info later below here it is:
Today with the Interop Tools installed on M8 with Win10 Mobile Release 1, I edited the registry to read NOKIA as the Manufacturer and RM-1104 which is the global version of the 950, as the Model Name. I then installed the update to 10.0.14372.0.
I had tested this formula on my Samsung ATIV SE with no issues prior...
After the Update: So far I am impressed. The Redstone build 10.0.14372.0 on my AT&T M8 installed just fine. It was a quick install compared to upgrading from 8.1 to 10 release 1. All the apps updated just fine. I edited the registry back to the original manufacturer/model name. Battery drain does not seem to be as much of a problem with this build on my M8, I was at about 67% and it recorded 1day 8hrs remaining from there, but I will check it again in a couple of days. I also have visual voicemail working
The 1 noted issue thus far is the front facing camera (if used) will crash the OS where it is at and cause it to reboot, but for now I can deal without the front facing camera.

Just wondering, is there a way to install Windows 10 on a 8.1 device now? They pulled the Insider support, so I was wondering. Thanks!

I no longer have my m8, but I have an Ativ SE from my VZ days. I was able to edit the registry about 2 weeks back on the Ativ to get the anniversary update installed. There are many tutorials for changing the proper keys on this site. It should still work.
