Can you possibly edit the op and make a list of things people put up?
[One (M7) General] sudkcoce:
Here, a compiled list of (almost) all tips, the OP should probably edit the OP and include it. No need to thank me for this, I am not a thanks hunter...

If you scroll with 2 fingers in contacts, gallery, music, and many other apps, it scrolls much faster (using it in the contacts list goes through the alphabet, using it in the text converstaion list goes through dates of conversations)

You can pinch zoom text-messages

Double tap your Bluetooth button with camera active to remotely take a snap

In camera, from the top swipe down and it'll switch from back to front camera and viceversa

Tapping on the statusbar while in the app drawer or blinkfeed, music, people, and message app brings you straight up

You don't have to pull up the lock or the time on the lock screen - swipe up anywhere to unlock your phone. Same goes for answering a call

You can increase the volume on your tv via the volume rocker on your phone instead of the on screen buttons

Quickly double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps list

Three finger swipe from left to right on the homescreen brings you to share files menu

You can adjust the brightness of the torch/flashlight with the volume rocker

Hold down the power button and tap the home key to take a screenshot

Holding the back button in the browser brings you to history

In the photo gallery's edit>effects screen (under the magic wand icon), you can customise every preset by tapping and holding its thumbnail and dragging it to the "customise" bar that appears on the right. You can even start applying custom effects from scratch by doing this with the "no effects" thumbnail. You can then save the created preset

If you have the camera app open and turn off the phone, the lockscreen will be inactive, meaning when you press the power button again you go straight back to the camera app, no need to unlock

Select "Show Magnifier" in the Accessibility menu and you get a magnifying lens that pops up when you are editing text

To answer your question, there has been no official word on the release. There are some ROMs available based on the "leaked" 4.2.2, but nothing official.

In Google play if you are listening to a song and have the album artwork up (the screen where you have your pause/play, next/previous track)

You can swipe right to left to skip the track it left to right to go to the previous track. There's a cool sliding in/out animation too.

The coolest feature though, is that you don't have to press back to get back to your library or playlist. You can swipe down from the songbtitle and your library of songs is waiting behind it. (Tough to explain. Try it)
[One (M7) General] howjord:
In the Stock Browser go to Menu>Settings>Labs to switch on "Quick Controls". Slide thumb from left or right edge to open quick controls and hide app and URL bars.

Also swipe across the keyboard to easily switch to the numbers and symbols pages!
[One (M7) General] vinaymieux:
I don't know if this has been shared before... But our phone actually comes with a built in Ringtone trimmer...

Just go to music > play a track > Press the 3 dot menu > select "Set as Ringtone" > Trim Ringtone... Voila!

Enjoy!
[One (M7) General] lee901:
I think all previous HTC users might know this, however people new to HTC might not.

I don't know if this was shared in previous posts.

You can access HTC's hidden Self diagnostic tool by following steps:

1) Go to dialer,

2) Dial *#*#3424#*#*

3) You will enter HTC's self diagnostic tool

4) You can check if all the parts and sensors on your device is working.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
What it won;t do however is tell you how well the hardware is functioning. For example the camera test. If it can take a picture then it passes the test, but if the motor is unable to focus, the image is still captured and it's deemed "a working device".

In the text messaging app, you can pinch to zoom in/out to permanently change text size for all text message recipients. The default setting is just above the minimum size, which is plenty readable, and helps get more text on the screen.
[One (M7) General] fjordell:
You can remove dock icons if you are in the apps repository, just drag one out and drag another in. You just can't do it from the pages. You can also make folders.
[One (M7) General] pricefix23:
Also on that screen, pressing the 'A' button provides options go change the white balance of the picture (as you would normally pre-select in the camera app). A = 'as shot' but you can change it to cloudy, fluorescent, etc and also a couple of options the camera app doesn't have - shady and tungsten.

Very useful for those shots where you got it wrong beforehand or just wanna try again!
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
"A" button?
[One (M7) General] pricefix23:
Do the above and you'll see a capital A in the top right corner, just below the '+'
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I'm not seeing it on my phone. There is an A option under the customizations, below some of them.
[One (M7) General] gandi54:
once you drag a preset to the "customize" bar you will see options for altering white balance, contrast, brightness and saturation...the "A" allows you to select preset white balance values rather than having to fiddle with the temp and tint sliders on the left of the screen (which do the same job obviously)...it does not appear for the other settings alterations
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
Oh yes, I see that one. Thanks.
[One (M7) General] mgxplyr:
There's a visualizer and karaoke player embedded in the HTC music app. Just click the musical note icon when playing a popular song that's on Gracenote. The app will automatically download lyrics and sync them to the song.

By default, this only works on Wi-Fi. This can be changed in Music settings.
[One (M7) General] ext109:
You can also set a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than for the homescreen by going to settings -> personalize -> lockscreen and then settings for the wallpaper lockscreen.

2 at once:

you can use the phone without needing to enter the PIN code by going to settings -> security -> set up SIM lock. There you can also change your PIN code

[One (M7) General] Marcel0697:
Thx for this collection it's awesome
[One (M7) General] nudr01d:
Are some of these features only on Sprint or ATT models or something?

I don't have this feature, which is a shame as would be good to trim a section of a track as the ringtone so easily.

I have the menus up to 'Set as Ringtone', but on clicking that it pops up a notification confirming the track has been set as ringtone.

No 'Trim' options at all.

I also don't seem to have the '2 fingers swipe down notification area' to get straight to settings panel.

I've got silver HTC One, from the UK. Guessing some of these features are only on certain models then?
[One (M7) General] wakers:
A few like the 2 finger swipe down are only on android 4.2

The ring tone trimmer i'm not to sure on its in some of the rom's i've tried but not all unfortunately you may have a rom that its not included with Mike1986 and Sentinel rom have it but one of the roms i tried can't remember which didn't...

If your HTC one is stock you'll need to wait for the 4.2 update which will roll out soon depending on your service provider...
[One (M7) General] nudr01d:
Understood.

Thanks, I am on stock ROM at moment, so will have a look for when 4.2 is expecting to roll out on my device

For the photographers out there like me, there's a cool trick I just found in the camera app.

If you touch to focus, and hold your finger there for about a second, it will activate Focus and Exposure lock, until you tap on another spot, which will turn it off again. It's a handy feature, especially when you want to recompose.

Hope this has helped someone out there :)

My apologies if this is silly. Do you have adb installed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
open the task manager, which has adb.exe process and end (kill) that process

Then close your oneclick and re-open it.

That should fix the "ADB server didn't ACK, failed to start daemon" Message.

If that doesn't work you could try installing the lastest android SDK with the latest ADB/fastboot

There's nothing wrong with the rooting procedure. Your lack of technical knowledge is what's holding you back. If you can't troubleshoot issues like this unlocking this phone may not be for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I dunno what I did or anything like that. But for some reason the ONLY way I can get adb to recognize my phone is to have HTC sync actually running but minimized. If I exit it from the tray or kill application adb tells me no device found or "waiting for device" indefinitely

Yeah the exploits don't root your phone, They guve temp root to give you supercid so you can unlock the bootloader on HTCDEV. Once your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery, after that you can flash su or a rooted rom.

It would have been set by you or the last person who used the phone. As far as I know, there's no way to check what it is. You can try a factory reset in bootloader to clear it? Not sure if it'll work though.

No it's just to test if the bootloader is actually locked or if it's spoofed but unlocked. -_- If it's locked it will fail, if not, it will flash.

On a side note, whenever you're flashing, you're always in danger of bricking. I wouldn't ask you to do anything that is specificially more dangerous than the norm though. If you're afraid of bricking, don't even bother rooting.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shadane:
the main reason i'm doing this is because i want jelly bean on my phone to my know knowledge the reason the Ruu fails is because my phone is s-on i'm not sure if that would be easier to do than root/bootloader unlock ?

The RUU is failing because you have a modified Hboot thanks to the previous owner and if the RUU did pass, you would likely brick.
