I just recently downgraded from sultans cm12. 1rom to Mahdis kit Kat Rom. I set up everything before I noticed that the phone only shows 1867mb of system ram. Naturally I turned to Google, however there is not much information about this problem on custom roms. My question therefore would be what information there is about this problem and whether there is a solution to it. I would like to stay on kit Kat because I need the battery life. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can I install it without bootloader unlock?
Summersett said:
My bootloader unlocked Maxx is on 4.4 (19.5.3.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US). Since my bootloader is unlocked, do I really have anything to fear when flashing ROMs or am I pretty much guaranteed to be able to always have WP off and root? I'd like to give this one a shot but don't want to cross any bridges I may not be able to come back across if need be.

My bootloader is locked, I'm on 4.4.4 with root, but I don't now how I can unlock my moto, I must to have TWRP? How can I install this recovery? Help me please, I want lollipop, and verizon is so slow.
This isn't the place to ask that, and right now you are stuck on stock. Please dig around the forums and do some research before spamming threads where content does not belong.
No GPS
Flashed this ROM on my Droid MAXX and love it. Everything seems to work except I cannot get any GPS lock on any application I tried. Downloaded GPS toolbox and reset and downloaded aGPS data but no change. Anyone have this problem? From what I've searched on forums it seems to be a somewhat common issue in Lollipop. FYI I also flashed a different 5.1.1 ROM and it had the same problem.

I haven't had this issue and have reflashed this ROM a few times. Tbh I have never even heard of that as an issue (though it's not like I researched Lollipop problems since I wasn't having any).
I used TWRP 2.8.4.0, factory reset, flashed the ROM, and then flashed these GApps. Idk if that makes a difference. Give it a shot if nothing else is working for you? Good luck.
Dang... That is exactly how I did it. I used that same exact gapps file and also am on TWRP 2.8.4.0. Seems like none else is reporting this problem on our phones. Maybe the radio got screwed up? Just thinking out loud here
Installed OctOS on two separate MAXXes. My gfs seems stable. Mines been touchy though-
A) Like someone else mentioned, using the flashlight for an extended period often ends up in the phone doing a hard reboot. Haven't tested this with her phone but she hasn't reported anything to me either.
B) WiFi has been unstable. Initially it was fine, but every now and then it starts refusing to connect to any network. It doesn't kick back any error. It will say connecting, etc, then at some point fail and go back to just noting it's a saved connection. Have to go through some combination of forgetting the connection, wiping cache/Darvin, think I even tried running fix permissions. Eventually it will work normally again, but not for long before having the same issue. There haven't been any wifi issues with the other phone. The first time this ever occurred was right after using it as a hotspot, but its happened more often without any hotspot usage than with it.
C) Did great at first, but without installing very many apps, it feels like it's gotten slightly sluggish and is often low on memory, and is burning through the battery much quicker. Used the be able to clear 24 hours before needing to charge, now I'm lucky to get 16. I haven't had the chance to see if this is also an issue on the other phone or not.
GPS works nicely for me with this rom. My phone got a fix in seconds with 16 satellites.
Question: which is the best way to theme this (or others, for that matter) rom? Download CM12 themes from mayket?

Did you ever get GPS back? Some say going back to stock, getting a lock, and then go back to the custom rom works. There is also a link in the exodus thread about doing two fastboot commands, which worked for me for a bit, bit now I'm back on stock with no GPS at all. Curious if you got yours working.
Hello everyone.
At the outset I'd like to apologize for my poor english. I hope that I will explain my problem correctly.
For some time my phone (H60-L04) has terrible lags. You can see it when watching a Youtube video or local videos from internal storage or memory card. It looks as if the phone loses a single video frames. It looks awful. It is similar with system interface. The phone does not work smoothly, does not play the video smoothly. At the beginning everything was OK.
The problems started after upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop. Then I noticed the first lag. I tried to restore the factory settings. Did not help. Then I returned to KitKat (of course stock). Lags still existed. I restored back Lollipop and the lags became even worse. With each installation rom is getting worse.
In addition, the phone very warms next to "Honor".
I don't know what's going on. What is bad? :/
Please help.
Regards.
I think some kind of a CPU problem. Did you try to turn off your phone for a couple of minutes?
If you are rooted, look for apps that that can see and disable apps running on background.
From there you can pinpoint the culprit.
Thanks for your reply.

Yes. But the problem happens even when the phone is cool.

I don't have root. I checked on the newly installed ROM, without my apps. The problem also occurred.
It seems to me that the situation is deteriorating after a factory reset and reinstallations rom. It's getting worse
Maybe you your base version of kitkat is not compatible with the lollipop version you downloaded. Did you already tried this? This works for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3099261
[GUIDE] Back to Stock ROM (the sure method)
I tried to restore the stock rom this method from this page: pantomath.xyz/honor-6_l04-how-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-1-beta-to-emui-3-0-using-downgrade-pack-2/
On the stock ROM KitKat situation was the same as on Lollipop what really surprised me
With regard to Lollipop, I have used official packages for H60-L04 from hihonor.com. It was enough just to put Update.app on the phone and make a local update.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
what build of kitkat are you using?
i am using B370 and i dont have a problem with this build so far
my only suggestion is to go back to stock rom (B370)
using the method i posted earlier (but you must unlock bootloader first)
I am using B370 too and the problem still persists.
well if thats the case, i suspect you have encountered a problem with your phone's runtime.
have you tried unlocking the developer options?
and changing the 3-animation scale to 0.5x
unlock developer options by tapping 7 times the build number on the about phone settings

Yes, I tried the settings in the developer options, among others 2D GPU accceleration etc but video is still not running smoothly
Up until about a week ago, my HTC One E8 dual sim (M8SW - China Unicom) had been working perfectly, albeit only running android 4.4.2 as unknown to me when i bought it, it had been rooted and TWRP/Super SU installed (I assume because I'm in Australia and it's a chinese phone... ebay purchase...)
I'm not entirely sure why, but the battery life is now draining literally about twice as fast, and the google play services app seems to be using up a fair amount of the battery. I've tried a few apps (google services fix etc) to try to amend the problem, and have completely reset the phone, but haven't had any luck.
Just wanted some thoughts as to whether upgrading the phone to Android MM would fix this?
I've attempted to do so, but because my phone is rooted I can't get OTA updates. the other issue I have is that I can't get a copy of the stock recovery (the link provided at http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210 does not work...) and I believe I need to install the stock recovery to get the OTA updates. I'm not confident enough to try and install a custom rom and I have no issue with HTC 'bloatware'...
very much a rookie, but would appreciate if anyone is able to help as the phone is great and I'd rather not fork out the money for a new one just yet...
thanks
Hi there! I also bought a M8SW and also from eBay with the ROM in bootloop mode where the previous owner attempted to put in another ROM but failed but that's another story.
Not sure what's wrong with your phone battery drain but I initially finally got stock LP on mine and the battery life was good.
When I saw the MM update, I jumped on it straightaway but struggled to get OTA working as my initial LP was rooted with xposed hence my little journey to get back to stock LP and then OTA to MM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/general/tedious-update-m8sw-to-marshmallow-twrp-t3346318
I would say that MM seems to maybe drain the battery faster than LP but tbh, I love the super smooth stock Sense. Only thing to watchout for is that xposed on MM is not fully working for all the modules. That was nearly too much for me but I have stayed with MM with xposed with N-ify, Amplify, XNotifications and SenseToolBox - all semi working for the bits that I need.
My battery lasts for at least 2 days before I need to charge it. My typical usage is low: WhatsApp, twitter, FireFox and occasionally Music, News Republic and VLC to watch videos.
The E8 still cuts it I think. I don't play any games on it and recently I am using so called Sense8 HTC10 ROM which is pretty good - definitely recommend it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/development/s-team-e8-s4-20-2x-ported-htc-10-sense-t3364650
I'm pretty keen to get a stock version of MM on the phone - provided I can get this issue sorted the phone will last me another year or two at least.
By the sound of things, if I want to get the stock version of MM or LP on my phone, I'll need to convert it to the European model?? is that an easy thing to do? I assume it's just installing a different ROM??
Alternatively, if I download the ROM you provided the link to, I should be able to install this onto my phone and have MM with this different version of sense?
thanks for your help!
HI,
My OPO 64GB sandstone Black is experiencing Bootloop everytime it heats up, then i turn it off for 5 minutes to make it cool. After that, it works fine. I bought it about 8 months ago. A month ago, I upgraded it to CM13 official. About 15 days ago, it suddenly went bootloop. Then i checked and found that it was softbricked. Then I did some homework and unlocked the bootloader and downgrade it to Kitkat CM11, but lost all of my data. Finally it came back to life, but the bootloop comes everytime it heats up till now.
I have some question and also asking for a solution to overcome this problem. Questions are listed below
1. What is the suitable solution for this problem?
2. Does my device have any hardware issue or is it just software related problem?
3. Will my device work like before, if i somehow find a solution or its the type of problem which keeps coming back?
Please help me regarding this issue. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
P.S. You will lose your data
Pm me have gone through this thing

Hi, have you tried to undervolting the cpu? This might help you to keep it cold
You only have to flash a kernel which let you customize volting values
And If the problem persist try to clean flash the latest oxygen os (It has the latest drivers so maybe it works).
Try this: Install Kernel Adiutor, underclock cpu to 1728 Mhz, Undervolt (if possible) by -50 global, and enable everything in Thermal
I have the same issue. Is there any solution?
I bought the S5 when it first came out and subsequently used towelroot, as soon as it was available. It's been great for customization and extended functionality through the years. Now, however, i have slowly been experiencing more and more issues with this current setup...i.e. some functions have stopped working and many apps no longer work with the kitkat andoid version. Anyway, I am looking for a way to upgrade to marshmallow, or even lollipop, to be able to use apps...and hopefully some ui functionality returns with a reset during the process.
Warning: I have never used odin or flashed roms or anything to that level but i am willing to learn with some good direction.
Current setup:
SM-G900V, Android 4.4.2, Kernal 3.4.0, Build KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG, eMMC 15****
If it matters, I also use SuperSU, Xposed.
Not sure what other info would be helpful to assist me, but feel free to ask.
Also lately it can get stuck in a boot loop when rebooting. I'm afraid one day i will be unable to get it to boot up. additionally, it was hit or miss on reboots previously, but now i am unable to get the phone to recognize the SD card. Maybe i should unroot and hard reset, then reroot. Any suggestions regarding that approach? I vaguely remember something about having to undo all the changes made before unrooting.
Edit: All works fine currently, but hit or miss on reboots.
