M8rom port to E8 dual sim Ideas

Hi Guys
Last night I've got my HTC one E8 dual sim unicom version and yeah it's full of chinese apps and reminds me a lot of the first htc one m7 dual sim I bought and struggled to use it
Rooted and twrp recovery is installed.
Now I've used social network plugins of facebook, twitter, instragram and now all of them works in blinkfeed luncher however twitter has some issues ( Edit: twitter works fine ).
Ideally if there was any custom rom for it it would be easier for me to swap the files and do more investigations.
Since there is an international version of htc m8 which support dual sim I'm thinking to port it to E8 BUT I need at least the system dump or a custom rom of the former. I have a 100% certainity that the port would work nicely.
Anybody is willing to help ?!

Maybe you can use the files on htcdev.com?

Thanks but this isn't what I want.
I found a rom let's hope it will be handy.

k

Successful but
If anybody interested !
I've used M8 dual sim system files on my E8 and it worked nicely except for the camera which I know why wouldn't it work.
social networks and google apps works nicely but still blinkfeed is till showing chinese contents for the news and it's probably due to cid thingy.
anybody has any Idea ??

I guess that you have seen this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/general/blinkfeed-english-topics-t2827703
btw in few days I will get my HTC E8

Hmmmmmmmmm
I guess I made a progress !!!!!!!!!!!!
So let's cut it short
Do these at your own risk
1- Have an HTC one E8 dual sim (China Unicom version).
2- Have faith, a lot of faith.
3- Unlock the bootloader and flash the twrp recovery + SuperSU.
4- S-off using the paid Sunshine (Firewater won't work).
5- Super CID your device.
Hmmmmm
Will it work ?! of course yes and you will enjoy the blink feed in your language
Hmmmmm
Still need other social networks to work, right ?!
I'll do my best to build the rom for you if you are ready to help me
Good luck.

It's Interesting
I want to help you but my knowedge is not enough
If you want a tester, im ready

OK: Moment of truth
Bad news :
I've tried to cook a rom for our E8 dual sim using dsidxa and although I have some success in doing that. The rom did not boot and always reboot into fastboot
If I can just lay my hand on any custom rom for either M8 or E8 dual sim, my porting will be easier !
Good News :
Currently I have almost flawlessly working WWE (Honestly Multi language ) rom with camera working

Great works I believe you can do that

Finally
Custom rom is done
No issues so far.
Plan :
1- Deodexed.
2- Zipalligned.
3- Extra goodies

Yeah!!
Today, i found a TWRP backup from M8 dualsim (M8_DUGL). i tried to restore that one to my E8.
And boom, It booted with no error.
But It have some issues:
+ Camera doesnt work.
+ Mic (for call) doesnt work (You can hear caller voice but they dont hear your voice)
+ Blinkfeed still Chine source (But i'm not sure, because in my University, internet was block by proxy server).
@Oweida: can you help me to solve that issues?? thanks in advance.

I am so excited. Cant wait to try custom rom. I am so annoy with cannot use blinkfeed with my E8. After custom rom is released, E8 would be my perfect phone.

It's ready but I'm just adding fine touches and deodexing it however you should be knowing by now that you need to unlock your bootloader, gain s-off using sunshine.apk and finally superCID your device otherwise no point of trying any custom rom to get rid of chinese blinkfeed content !

No. Just system.

You can get Blinkfeed in the language of your choice without flashing the ROM as shown here
Although it would be nice to run a true multilanguage and debloated ROM.
@Oweida: are you sure you didn't modify anything to get the camera working? Since it's a different camera then the M8 one would expect different drivers are needed?
@lonelydra: can you provide a link to the TWRP backup of the M8 Dual Sim?

Yes!

ok, the device installation was fine, but it doesn't boot

Did you flash E8 kernel after flash that Rom?

no, the ROM is based on 5.0.1 and the original STOCK is based on 4.4.2

If that....
I have no idea

thank you anyway

I think flashing a (boot.img) of an E8 custom rom after flashing Skydragon could solve the problem!

ok thank you, then I have to wait until I will found a custom rom for E8

Hi Greg,
I'm not sure, but I think this ROM is only for the Asian version of the E8 with dualsim. I bought it in Germany, but I will try to extract the boot.img of this version of ROM.

hi greg,
I think bindroid isn't a ROM for the german version of the HTC One E8. I extracted boot.img out of this ROM and flashed after installing Skydragon for M8 without success.
Any other ideas?

If your E8 is Dual Sim, BinDroid will work on it
ALL E8 boot.img for dualsims will work on any dualsim
Don't try M8 boot.img, we have a better version of the Snapdragon then the m8

Hi DutchDanny,
no, I do not have the dual sim E8, I have the german version of the E8 with single slim.

[Q] Is it possible for M8 rom be used on E8?

Is it possible for M8 rom to be used on E8 since the only difference between these two is the build quality? Like is there some way the rom will detect that its a E8 and fail to install?

Nope that will not work in the way u r expecting
As some porting needs to be done...

So no it won't work!!

[Q] HTC E8 - A ROM to contain all languages

Hi.
I have a HTC E8(Single sim) that was purchased in Germany.
It runs stock 4.4.2.
For some reason, the language selection screen has less languages than the general Android. For example, it lacks Russian.
Should I reflash the ROM to get it ?
What I already did:
Unlock the bootloader - using the HTC dev site.
Flashed the twrp - didn't work, after a reboot I still see the stock recovery (should I S-OFF or something?).
I didn't use the "Battery out method". I mean I did boot to the stock ROM after flashing TWRP. May be my ROM overwrites the recovery on boot .
Can I somehow add the language files to the existing ROM ? Should I have TWRP for it or can I flash it with fastboot ?
I am OK with any generic or custom ROM that doesn't have any bugs running on E8 (CM doesn't support E8 it seems ).
I don't need root. I only need the language.
All help is very appreciated.
Thanks.

Did any of you install ANY E8 ROM ?
If you did, can you please see if it has Russian and if so reply with the ROM name.
Thanks.

Hi Danny, do you think it is possible to use the "HTC E8(Single sim) that was purchased in Germany" to work with your ROM?
I think he has the M8Sn OPAJ3000, what differs from your model.

Try my 4.4.2 Rom
Give me a system dump of your device I can make it compatible

4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=598273&st=0#entry33786133
Thank you

I'll try the skydragon rom today. Will get back to you as soon as posssible..

for skydragon, if you are using e8 single sim, you must install this patch. i am using skydragon rom on my m8sx single sim and it works perfect.

could you please how you use it
and what should i do step by step
becuase sky dragon is really good rom i mean this version SkyDragon | Sense 7 MarshMallow | v1.6.5 | 6.12.1540.4

I am downloading SkyDragon. I did not know anything about this roms.

SkyDragon Rom is not for HTC ONE E8. My phone is in hboot loop.

@melquisedec
1. Yes. Originally, SkyDragon ROM is only for M8.
2. However, BlackVictor did some modification & ported it to E8. That's why this topic is specifically for BlackVictor's ported ROM for M8 to E8.
3. You have to download the ported ROMS for E8 from the link I gave in the 1st post.
4. If you download the ROMs from their official websites, they are not for E8. They are unmodified ROMS for M8.
Please read & understand carefully to avoid bricking your device.
thank you

I use M8Sn Single SIM variant. Installed the ROM and used the Patch, stuck at HTC screen and can only access to power menu.

Hold LONG VolUp+Power to turn of when stuck.Then later try to get into recovery VolDown+Power (I can't believe that is no way to get into bootloader or RECOVERY - can't be bricked) Take "out" (using winrar) from zip file with ROM boot.img and flash it.That can help - I had like that with ViperOne for M7 and it helps. Good luck man. BTW - I am not taking any responsibility if something bad happen.

Restart several times, factory reset or wipe cache nd dalvik from recovery..Either of them will work.I've tried and once you get past the screen there won't be any problems.
Btw anybody know how to get signal on these roms for m8sd Indian version?
Have asked a number of times,but to no avail..!

Well, I passed the screen on all roms that have mentiones in this thread. Each and every one of them had data problem, I couldn't activate mobile data, or I could activate and it says "Disconnected". I tried everything, like changing APN manually and flashing radio etc., no luck.

I had flash SkyDragon Rom for E8 (m8sx)
the system ui is very smooth . However,i feel that the battery had a little drained
I have a question , the funnction " ok google" does not use

I also had flashed ViperOne e8 . it was very smooth.
the plug (xopsed+ intelli3g ) i also has installed. The battery had consumed was very well.
