if you flash recovery and/or rom. and it dosent work, and you can still get to recovery or download mode.
then you are still golden. just mount usb storage, load a new rom, wipe and try again or re odin push recovery

hence why chopper said "no wipe", as in "you won't lose your personal files". At least try to understand what we're saying and calm down.

If you just re-flash the same rom and gapps that you are currently running WITHOUT wiping you will not lose any information.

Keep backup of all files from /system/fonts and then you can change them to your liking. Just revert back to the backup to return to Stock.

M8 uses 3 more fonts than M7 .. they were there but not being used too much.
RobotoCondensed-custom.ttf (Same as RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf)
Roboto-Thin.ttf
Roboto-ThinItalic.ttf
You can extract my packs from M7 using 7zip ... copy out Roboto-Regular and Roboto-Italic to a folder, rename them to above 3 and then add them back to the zip. That would make the M8 package complete otherwise you will see Roboto fonts in weird mixed places instead of the new one you are flashing.

Extreme Power Saver Mode Mod??

So I've seen the mods for the Vzw M8 and the intl M7, but cannot find a clear answer as to whether these will work on a vzw M7.. Im on 4.4.2 Sense6 s-off bootloader unlocked and rooted, stock rom, anybody know how to get EPS mode? Already enabled normal power saver, but dying to get EPS

You can download NuSense and locate HTCExtremePowerSaver.apk in /system/priv-app and just push to your priv-app and should have it.
R u saying to install the rom to get it or just somehow pull the apk from it and put it in priv-app? I've never installed a custom rom before, been trying to get it on stock rooted rom… although I have been considering NuSense lately.. Forgive me for the dumb question, just not all that experienced with rams n stuff

Basically most custom ROMs have it.
My Bonestock ROM has it as well..
If you don't want to run a custom ROM, I could try and make you a .zip to get it working on your current set-up.
let me know.

I'm really trying to stay on the stock rom so if you had the time and were willing to make a zip for it, I would be forever in debt to you and I'm sure there are some others who would definitely appreciate it as well
I'm really not all that familiar with adb and fastboot (I know I need to learn) the only things I've ever really flashed is in recovery and I didn't really want to flash any of the other mods because they weren't specifically for our phone and I don't really want to screw anything up considering im pretty new to this

is only the .apk needed for it to work? I can't remember if more needed editing.
I know that Messaging.apk will most likely have an issue.
But I can edit the EPS.apk if he has this issue.

That is all he needs. The xml is already edited inside the apk to work with vzw.
Another dumb question, but do I need to install the apk through recovery? Can't get it to install from on phone

It's an apk that has to be pushed to your system priv-app folder. Have root explorer or even terminal can move it if you know the commands.

You want to put it in the priv-app folder.
Then just flash in recovery.
I went ahead and made it for you, I attached it, just flash in recovery.

Root android N

Hello everyone,
after flashed Android N, I've tested twrp 3.0.0 and supersu 2.68. If you change the vendor, putting one of MMB29V version, it will be the decrypting data, but when it flash a supersu, the installation is successful, but when you restart the phone, the system is not rootato. How I can fix this issue? Thanks a lot

I also have a problem after flashing Android n the root access and
Twrp is gone please tell how to install it again
Same issue here...I dont think it is possible, easily anyway. If you notice after it boots back into TWRP your internal storage is displayed as empty. All storage is. It says the installation is succeessful, but I think after it pushed the root files to ypur phone and rebooted to flash them, it could not as the files were no longer there......I don't know though.....Good luck!!

Regarding Root I have used phh's modified boot image from somewhere in XDA the link of which I forgot and fastboot flashed. With that I have installed phh superuser from Google play store and root works. However, some apps doesn't approve the SuperSU and busybox doesn't get installed. Meantime, there are multiple boot images for rooting N. If interested you can try the images one by one and post your results here
