I recently flashed my HTC One M8 with [ROM][4/13/14] GPE for M8VZW. Curently the rom is a little laggy and the camera is really slow. How will I be able to update the rom? Will it update OTA? Any idea when the lag issues will be fixed?
Thanks

It's all on the ROM developers... I would suggest you post this question in that ROM's thread for best response. Custom ROMs will not update "OTA" since you have a custom recovery on your phone. You will have to rely on the Devs to provide new ROM versions with the OTA updates "embedded" in them. (Though, I think if there is a Firmware update, you can manually apply it once someone posts a process for doing so on S-Off/Unlocked M8's)

I would post but cant since I just created an account. When flashing an update to the rom will it reset all my settings so I have to go through the setup process again?

you should not have to if youre just flashing a newer version over the same ROM but just an older version, UNLESS the dev says to wipe, in which case you will have to go through setup all over again.

Ideally, it's always better to do a clean install when you flash any ROM, just to prevent any possible issues from coming up. However, it's not always necessary when you're just flashing an update to a ROM you're already running. Though if the update includes a new version of Android, it's usually highly recommended to do a clean install. And if you're running one ROM and decide to switch to another, a clean install is recommended again, if not absolutely necessary.
I would recommend checking out Titanium Backup or Helium. They're both app backup solutions (if you decide you want to start checking out different ROM's more often, you'll be very happy you have this) that will let you restore your apps and app settings after a clean flash/wipe.

As Abe and sfreemanoh have already stated, that too is up to the Developer. If you are changing ROMs (Example: Have Stock ROM that's S-Off/Rooted and decide to flash ViperOneM8), you really need to Factory Reset your phone. Titanium, Helium, or MyBackup are three ways to save your Application/System data before your wipe.
If you are merely updating your current ROM version (Example: ViperOneM8 v1.0 to v1.5), the Developer should always post what needs to happen. In many cases, if there are just minor updates, the Devs will say it's OK to "Dirty Flash" without a wipe. Sometimes Devs always tell you to wipe and do a clean install. (ViperOne actually has "OTA" update files, which is basically a smaller update file that you can dirty flash.)
Thanks guys for the answers.

i have been rooted for about a day now with a custom rom. i was wondering will i get OTA update for the custom rom or is there a app where i can manually check for the custom rom update. How does the updates work on custom roms. i know when i got the phone i notice in setting you can go to at&t software update and it checks for you.
Thx
I believe Clockwork has some ability to show the latest builds of certain roms but it requires you to launch it up and check manually. Alternatively, CyanogenMod has a notification feature that you can enable.
The easiest way is to just bookmark the forum thread of the mod you're using and check it periodically.

The at&t software update won't work for custom roms. In fact, I think most dev's disable that feature in their rom cause installing an AT&T ota update over your current setup might screw up the phone.
ROM Manager has a feature that will let you check for ota updates on your favorite custom rom...but thats only if the develepor is using that feature or even aware of it.
Mostly it's just bookmarking or subscribing to your favorite rom threads and check for updates manually.

Yes just use ROM manager, new updates appear there and lets you flash OTA just like an official update when its available.
If the Rom dev has it set up Rom manager will notify you as well. I remember last year I during thanksgiving dinner I had to excuse myself for a few minutes so I could see what goodies myn had been working on for another device I had.
I'm using the default ROM for my One X and I'd like to update it (I haven't since I got it 6 month ago); do I need to re-lock the bootloader and unroot it before I can use the OTA update? Also it's been a while since I even fiddled with my phones software so I forgot anything else I may have done, is there a way I can check to see what else has been done and if it's safe to update it?
Currently I have:
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 4.0
Software Number: 1.73.631.1
HTC SDK API Level: 4.11
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_HA_4
What firmware are u on currently for starters

Your phone should be factory default before performing OTA updates or results may be unexpected.
Most OTA updates are patch file based and require the files to be exactly what is expected.
There have been known issues with root being detected and the OTA failing.
Rooted phones progressing with an update but root lost after the update.
System files being modified and the OTA failing.
Recovery must be factory; not TWRP or CWM.
CID and MID must suit OTA.
The only modification I would consider safe through all OTA's so far has been SuperCID.
If you have any interest in rooting and flashing custom ROMs, I would suggest rooting and unlocking the bootloader now, while you are on 1.73, and not updating via OTA. The latest 2.20 update will also update your hboot, which plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
Since you're with att you can expect the jelly bean update any time from now till the end of the world which isn't fun waiting for .. I'd suggest if you were rooted download goo manager flash twrp....than flash a solid ics Rom if your prefer ice sense or you can go venture into the jb realms

Agree. If you are already BL unlocked and rooted, why go through the hassle of relocking the BL and returning to stock, just to wait for the OTA?
Just flash a JB ROM, as there are already stock and custom JB ROMs posted in Development.
Plus, until the OTA actually hits, we don't know if it will even be rootable. They have plugged the existing root exploits with every successive AT&T OTA for this phone so far. No reason to think any different for the JB update.
Just flash a JB ROM and stay rooted.
Ya I really like viper xl v3 . Just apply fix listed on op and you should be good to go

Stock OTA is not WORTH IT IMO, been there
Reselling the phone is probably the only reason i'd revert to stock.
Ok, so I tried to flash Android Revolution HD 18.0 instead of going back to stock. I used TWRP, but it said "unable to read zip file" and the flash failed, now my phone won't start up it just shows the HTC screen with "this build is for development purposes..." and continuously turns on and off.

Thanks for your guys' helps
Is there a way to back up my apps/texts and stuff when flashing ROM's? I totally forgot about that and lost all of it, I didn't have anything particularly important, but it'd be a hassle to redownload everything everytime. I had Titanium Backup, but that's not a recovery for if you reflash right?

So I installed Cyanogen 10.0.0 but it didn't come with Google Play so I installed Gapps as well; now I keep getting the "Android Keyboard ASOP has stopped working" and I can't do anything. I've tried multiple versions of Gapps but they all give the error. I've also tried installing a keyboard apk on it's own but I am still unable to type anything.
Edit: Also when I downloaded Google Play as an apk separately it would crash immediately, but when I installed it from Gapps it was ok.

NOOB HERE!!!
My quick and hopefully simple question regards installing the CM updates that are available directly on my phone. I am running 10.2 with no issues. Nearly everyday I get the icon stating there is an up to CM10. I simply click on it and install. Again, so far so good but I would like to know if simply installing these updates this way is "endangering" my phone. Is there a better way I should be installing these? I am assuming not otherwise the updates would not be present and as simple to install. Thanks for your input!

It is perfectly safe to use the built in cmupdater every day. For piece of mind it may be a good idea to occasionally make a backup manually using your recovery of choice (either TWRP or CWM).
If you ever encounter a problem after upgrading to the latest nightly, and nightlies do sometimes break features, just boot into recovery and manually flash the previous day's file (located in the /cmupdater folder)...no need to wipe anything.
I've been dirty flashing cm nightlies since June. You're fine. A clean flash doesn't hurt once in awhile though!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I dirty flashed for a year with no problem at all untill a few days ago. I went from the 8/16 to the 8/17 to the 8/14 and lost my imei and eri once the 8/14 booted. Ive been trying everything with no luck to get the eri back. make sure you do a full (not just imei) NV back up and do a normal rom/data backup like once ever week or two. Im regretting not doing a NV backup as the only tool to fix my problem has been removed from the site due to infringing the ToS.
This is a Stock Rooted odexed Rom based on 4.4.2 AT&T LG G3 OTA D85010f
Its a full odexed Base with stock kernel to bring you latest OTA version (D85010f), use as a base for a rom or if you mess something up to bring you back up! It has stock boot image so it doesn't need to be s"bump'd" . I took OTA to get system dump images I needed so I could make this.

LG-overall a good device
Stump for my method of rooting this device

Lol nothing real noticeable or mind blowing, pretty sure it's just some tweaks under the hood and patches.
Mobile hotspot not working to good. Although I didn't factory reset after update, something I usually do cause things tend to not work right. Until I do can't say too much about it.
Does this have the latest radio from At&t?
Thanks a ton for this. Everything works great. Did a restore with TB and I'm back and running with no issues.

The KS for posting this. When debloated, deiq'd and greenfield I find stock far smoother than the various variants derived from an international base.
Installed this ROM on my wife's new phone last night using Bump TWRP. Everything seems to work great which is what i want. Thanks.
Was concerned about the infamous overheating problem about this phone with simple video playback. Play video (not game) for a few hours and can barely feel the temperature difference. May be the problem is about video game but that is not my concern.
@1Cwulf: Care to elaborate on the "some tweaks" that you mention in the second post? I tried the international ROM, and it has a few lttle issues that is making me want to try back a proper D850 ROM.

Just something to help with lag and possibly improve battery life a bit.
Its not intended to be a full feature Rom (at least not atm), just something as close to stock without losing functionality.

It was truly a mistake. I just got back into android after a few years hiatus.

Really? Restore your pre-root backup with TWRP or flash the stock images from the General Discussion section.
Remember that we do not have images for the latest security patches on some models yet, if you go back to stock, take an OTA, and root, ROM, or do something nasty to your device, there may be NO WAY to recover until, or even if, newer factory firmware images become available.
These updates are just security updates, they are not bug fixes in any way (at least from what has been shown), so there is no real world benefit to applying them if you don't need too. Security updates are mostly just feel good propaganda anyway.

A security update has no correlation to a Nougat update, we are not getting it, even if we were it would have zero correlation to it... Except you would like need to have it to take the next OTA.
As far as being useless, no it isn't... it does contain some security update, which although they are not really important shouldn't be ignored without a reason, and being rooted/modified MAY be significant enough reason but that is your call. I would read the release notes, if it is just security updates it's probably worth skipping for now, if it is bug fixes or other updates then it is probably worth it to take but use caution modifying your system because you cannot flash a firmware that is older successfully and we don't have the "new" firmware versions yet.
