Lol @ people who have no clue and just spout what they've heard from other people who have no clue. Read my post above.

Either way, you both missed my point completely, which is that it's inefficient on GPE and slows everything down when it shouldn't, and I hope that gets fixed in 4.4.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
So all apps will have a small menu button?
[One (M7) General] alangrig:
Guys, anyone tried to edit media_profile.xml file to enable 2d mic while shooting video, so there is a stereo sound? Edit is simple just replace channel=1 with channel=2

Haven't tried yet cause phone is not rooted yet.

I'm getting kitkat envy, only a few more days for the gpe update to start rolling out right?
[One (M7) General] Jason Syn:
Flashing a stock GE Rom on your Sprint phone has nothing to do with it running on AT&T. Does the Sprint version even have a SIM card slot? Because Sprint is cdma and those two networks are not compatible. The only phone I know of that can run on Sprint and AT&T is the new Nexus 5.

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

I'm wondering how the camera is on the GE ROM, this phone supposedly has one of the best cameras out there and I'm sick of having this purple hue on all my pictures.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I think you quoted the wrong person. This is completely out of context.
[One (M7) General] Jason Syn:
They are supposed to be two posts. I was responding to the person asking about the Sprint phone, then I was asking a question myself about the camera and the dumb XDA app grouped them together, I didn't...
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I still fail to see how your reply bears any relevance to what I said.
[One (M7) General] Jason Syn:
Because I wasn't replying to you… I was replying to the person with the question about using a Sprint phone on AT&T.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Then quote the right person! Not the one under or above. Surely the XDA app can't be THAT faulty? And don't quote YOUR post when replying to someone, quote that person instead. You're confusing.
[One (M7) General] mitchst2:
[MENTION=3655508]Theshawty[/MENTION]. I just picked your last post and hit quote and it actually quotes the post above. This is happening to me too with the xda app.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Ok. My apologies. I've never used the XDA app as I'm on two Tapatalk enabled forums
[One (M7) General] Jackering:
They said 15 days, and it will be 15 days this coming Friday, so fingers crossed!
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
I hope so too. I've been running the full gpe conversion on my tmo HTC one. No regrets at all. I can't wait for 4.4
[One (M7) General] Jackering:
Yeah same here, running it on my EE Handset, tempted to install the 4.4 launcher to get me by till Friday :p
[One (M7) General] knightblaze:
Same, loving the full aosp experience the Google way!
[One (M7) General] shishir95:
Don't you think if the fix was as simple as that, it would be cooked into every ROM by now? lol It's a camera binary issue, and a camera app issue. Way deeper than just an on-off switch in some random xml

On Topic:

Day 7389120.6 of waiting for KitKats. Just bought KitKats at the grocery store yesterday. Left them at friend's place by accident, and slowly fighting a losing battle to deal with 4.3 GPe. Need kitkat in system (and /system). Will take two busses and walk a few blocks, bust down that door and reclaim my delicious chocolate. Then hopefully by then, the fabled notification will get pushed to my system... if it doesn't get pushed to xda first and I'm downloading the zip at 0.2KB/s like last time. One way or another, I have five more days to wait, but each day gets exponentially harder to handle.

On the other hand, my best friend who got his GS4 the same day as my One will be stuck on 4.3 for who knows how long :good::good: good days are ahead, chaps.
[One (M7) General] ken_e1407:
I really appreciate your response. So what i understand here is i can buy a sprint htc one nd then install stock android 4.3 GE and use that sprint phone on att and tmobile ( any gsm )with out any problem right ?? I just want make sure this ecause i want htc one from sprint because they availible in red color. And much cheaper if i compare the prices from sprint with tmobile and at&t on craiglist . For the model sprint 32gb NIB only 300 ( still sealed)

The reason i asked about this because i used to have htc one from tmobile and i sold it on CL due to camera tint purple and red noise. And i upgrade for myself nexus 5 but honestly i cant stand with nexus 5 because only 2 reason the sound is not good as my old htc one and the battery drain out really fast.

Did you try to get the replaces the camera module for your htc one? I heard about some people having same issue with camera after repair. Some of them pretty sure camera issed (purple tint. Noise) will came back an old way.
[One (M7) General] paul_viado:
no...the sprint htc one is NOT compatible with ATT OR TMOBILE , two different technologies sprint is cdma and att tmobile is gsm.even if you put a GE rom on it it wont work because sprint cdma phones are NOT compatible with GSM (att/tmobile) so NO it will not work
[One (M7) General] alangrig:
Well I bought HTC ONE international. No purple no tint even after battery heats up to 45°C. Camera module production date April 2013.

Perfectly unlocked it, s-offed, changed to super cid, and changed model id. Then flash via adb stock ruu gpe ROM and voila. I'm having GPE version complete stock. After flash straight away received OTA 4.3.

Unfortunately, after usage, I must admit GPE isn't polished and HTC Sense way superior and way better optimized for HTC ONE hardware.

In general I missed on GPE stereo sound recording and dedicated camera app. Google ones is awful. While shooting video in 1080p camera often refocuses. Low light performance in bad in comparison to Sense. Anyway worth a shot.
[One (M7) General] pigr8:
beats enabled slows down the phone on GPE system? lolwut?

reverseplacebo or wat? I have no issues or slowdowns, what are you talking about? just to check if it's true, can situation be replicated?
[One (M7) General] Mr Sliff:
Has anyone figured out how to remove the sense black bar yet retain the 3 dot menu in apps where it should be, like the play store etc?
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Here's one way I can reproduce the slowdown. Use the default AOSP launcher. Set your wallpaper to a custom high resolution image. Don't use a live wallpaper (enables GPU acceleration in launcher, which will hide CPU slowdown). Make sure you have some apps and widgets on your home screens to make it a bit of a challenge for the CPU.

Swipe and flick slowly back and forth through home screens with nothing playing. Smooth as butter.

Now play music or a podcast through the speakers with Beats enabled and swipe slowly back and forth through the home screens again. Not too slowly though. And let the page go about half way through the swipe. The animation can get pretty choppy. It isn't choppy every time you swipe, but a lot of the time.

Now disable Beats, but keep music playing. Home screen swiping is smooth almost every time again.

You can notice it while scrolling in apps as well, but the way I described seems the easiest to tell for me.
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
i am 100% stock Google Play Edition and there is no black menu bar in the Play Store app. Nor is it in many apps at all anymore since most have updated to have built in menu.
[One (M7) General] The Project:
This guy is flat out wrong. You do realize there are benchmarks of how Beats effects system performance? I can tell from real world experience it doesn't make it any slower.

You see mad.
[One (M7) General] bloodrain954:
wait, you mean you don't purposely swipe extra slow with music playing to try and find lag?
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
You don't have to swipe extra slow to see it. I was just trying to describe the most obvious way to see it because someone asked how to definitively reproduce it.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
You can tell, huh? Real world experience? So what type of experience do I have? Am I using an HTC One in a virtual world, not in real life? Wow. So that 100% proves me wrong. Um... no. Sorry you're in denial or don't have the physical ability to perceive the differences in smoothness, but I'm sure of what I see and can easily reproduce it. I could make a video to prove it, but honestly, comparison videos are a pain and it's a waste of my time because you don't work for Google or HTC and wouldn't be able to fix it anyways.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
I ran some Antutu benchmarks because that isn't too hard, and while benchmark scores don't necessarily correlate with real world performance, these results do back up the real world smoothness differences I'm noticing.

It looks like it takes about twice the amount of system resources to play audio with Beats enabled as opposed to playing audio with Beats disabled. Playing audio with Beats disabled drops the overall score by about 230 points on average whereas playing audio with Beats enabled drops the overall score by about 445 points on average.

The scores shown are an average of three runs for each scenario. To make sure the test was fair, I cycled through the scenarios instead of running each scenario three times consecutively.

Average overall score, no audio playing:

26,456

Average overall score, audio playing through speakers, Beats disabled:

26,227

Average overall score, audio playing through speakers, Beats enabled:

26,011
[One (M7) General] shishir95:
You are aware that the hardware switch in the Settings.apk triggers a boolean causing one library to be loaded instead of another, causing playback to be processed by the beats audio library instead of the regular library. Honestly, the overhead caused by having music playing (and tons of I/O data or network data if the song is played over WiFi or LTE) makes the performance drop completely negligible. Now, I'm not saying that it isn't possible that enabling Beats slows down the phone, but that it's extremely likely and 99.99999% of users would never notice such a lag let alone associate it with Beats being enabled. For all practical purposes, there is no noticeable drop. Keep in mind the HTC One also has a hardware DSP, not a software one, even further discounting any performance problems.

(TL;DR: If there is a performance drop, then It's probably not due to just Beats Audio being enabled)

Anyway, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 got OTA today if anyone didn't know. I was sort of hoping the reason why updates to KitKat were delayed had to do with 4.4.1, but whatever I guess, we'll get that soon enough.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Hopefully that means we get it before end of week.
[One (M7) General] Xstop:
Yes, I am eager for this update as well. Made my N7 (4.4 ota) silky smooth and snappier with opening up apps.

Stuck in CWM

Hi, I was trying to root stock kikat 4.4 to my HTC One (International), it said error 7 and installation aborted. Then, I was not being able to restore to any previous ROM and I am stuck in recovery the phone restarts in recovery or if when I press vol - while rebooting get to the bootloader menu and fastboot the phone is not recognized by USB. The CWM I am using for HTC One does not have mount USB and now I am stuck in a key test that I can not get out off no matter how long I pressed on the power button with or without the vol- button since there isn't an actual back button on the HTC One. The CWM I am using is the non-touch version. Please Help, Thank you
[One (M7) General] rbrandser:
Do you have the latest drivers for HTC on your computer? It should recognize then.

Didn't you do a backup in Cwm recovery? And you should have updated to latest Cwm before flashing 4.4. Anyway, get latest HTC drivers on computer.

Edit: stuck in keytest... Well Sometimes when I'm stuck, usb to computer and then vol- & power did the trick. One time I had to wait 7 hours to battery was empty....

Now it's just a matter of hours until the 15 days have passed. Jason MacKenzie is in for a ****storm unless gpe gets the update. But, llabtoofer said it was almost finished a couple of days ago, so I'm still hoping :)
[One (M7) General] disturbedDRAGON:
If you're on windows 8.1 that would be why fastboot isn't working. If you are using an intel own chipset there is a workaround and I believe there are people whobhave had luck using a windows 7 virtual machine, but I've just been using a ubuntu live Dvd, installing fastboot and adb through the multiverse, you can then fastboot a newer recovery on and mount mass storage.
[One (M7) General] kewkie:
Benchmark fanboy. Need high benchmark to get a faster-phone, or at least to get a placebo for that?

Benchmarks dont tell anything.. i dont know why guys wants the highest score and show 'em on the interwebz.. for what? to show e-penis? to get attention? I dont get it..

And if guys say that GPe is smoother.. it's a lie.. sense feels much more smoother (even with a lower benchmark :eek: ), i dont care about benchmark, i use my phone as a daily smartphone, not as a "i-need-a-high-benchmark-and-test-it-every-hour-to-get-the-highest-result"-phone.

It's a smartphone, use it as a smartphone (socialing, emailing, phoning, etc.).

// And i personally find it funny, when guys say "4.4 is soooo smooth".. to be honest, that's such a bullsh*t. I just flashed 4.4, scrolled down the statusbar and instantly went back to sense, because i will get eye-cancer when i will do it 2-3 times more.

But that doesnt mean, that 4.4 GPE will be the same, the current builds are "alpha's", so .. can't expect much, but when i consider such guys "4.4 sooo smooooth" ... it made my day, such guys never used a optimized sense rom.
[One (M7) General] bloodrain954:
who wants to bet HTC drops the ball?
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
That'll be nothing compared to how annoyed and angry some N4 users will be if our GPE update gets rolled out first.

There's already been some people moaning about it in that forum already.
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
Some of you people on here are just funny. Let them miss their deadline 1st before lighting your torches. They said within 15 days and the last time they made a promise they held up their end of the bargain. Let's wait before picking up the pitchforks.
[One (M7) General] Xstop:
I agree. That what makes me stay away from responding to a lot of post. People are so negative up in here. I'm more than happy running 4.3, I can wait til the 4.4 update. Even if they miss the 15 day mark, you shouldn't really trash HTC. I think they have been doing a great job with rolling out the updates pretty quickly. There is absolutely nothing in the 4.4 update that's gonna shockingly surprise you in how we use our phone. Just look for better software and battery optimization. Oh, and for GEL... Google can keep it. Nova beta ftw.

Flame on :rolleyes:

And yes I did have the N5, used it for a week which I thought would replace my One. But ended up flipping it on eBay for $100 profit. Thanks eager buyers on eBay :)
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
Thank you. As long as my phone is working fine it's all good. Would everyone here rather they rush and release an update that's bugged to death like the one Samsung just pulled for the GS3?

4.3 and 4.4 GPE Camera

Hi,

I just got my HTC One and considering converting it to GPE. My understanding is that the main issue with GPE is the camera. The feedback I noticed was that it is very slow to focus and shoot and that the picture quality is lower. Although I can live with some issues in picture quality, I am concerned with the slow shooting experience - I'm taking plenty of pictures of my kids and they will never stand still. Any of you can provide feedback on the camera in 4.3 (and 4.4 for those of you who installed the custom rom)?

Thx
[One (M7) General] Vadrieldur:
Where is the update htc? 14th day and counting...

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

I don't know who told you that but I'm using GE for a month now and I don't have any problems with the camera. Focusing is good and it's actually faster than Sense when you shooting a video imo. I only miss the blinkfeed from Sense lol.
[One (M7) General] alangrig:
Believe me GPE camera frequently refocuses, frame drop is severe. Sound is mono. Very sad. Went back to Sense. HTC Sense is best Android optimization for HTC ONE. HTC did the best.
[One (M7) General] dobbs3x:
Why is everyone so in love with kitkat? Am I missing something? I've ran the n5 port 4.4 on my n7 and didn't see any thing or notice anything special about it. I like sense5.5 to use zoe and BlinkFeed, the latter I thought I wouldn't like, but it is actually pretty cool. plus the sense5.5 keyboard and real emoji is pretty cool when I am texting or dealing with people on iPhones, namely the girlfriend.
[One (M7) General] snapilica2003:
While I do agree that no matter what I try and do, the Sense ROM is always better on the One (because of the reasons you mentioned plus the fact that the speakers sound like crap on GPE and that audio on headphones is lower in quality), KitKat does bring some good behind the scene changes. ART replacing Dalvik VM, the audio to DSP and many others.

Considering the improvements to KitKat and the downside to using GPE, my opinion is that I'll wait for the Sense version of KitKat.
[One (M7) General] al74:
So one says it's great, the other says it's horrible. Any third opinion to tip the scales?
[One (M7) General] faisaldante:
I think the camera is OK. Not as good as sense but still its good. I woudnt say its so bad u gotta try yourself. Personally I prefer sense but I'm using ge ROM so its up to u really.
[One (M7) General] CiDhed:
You would think that people that love Sense wouldn't need to go into a GPE thread to profess that they love Sense. Odd...

I've been running GPE since it came out. I think it runs great on these phones and the camera works just fine. Sense also runs great on these phones. I prefer the way stock android looks and runs and that is why I use it. If you like Sense more use that, you can't go wrong either way.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
I've been running it for almost a month know and its been great. Don't miss sense at all.

Inb4 HTC doesn't deliver.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Well I keep reading people think its the 15 when HTC said 15 days not specifically the 15th. I'd be surprised it if was at end of weekend. But I can wait
[One (M7) General] IINexusII:
HTC One GPe will be out before the Nexus 4 OTA
[One (M7) General] osmosizzz:
Why is everyone so head over heels about the release date? HTC ceo didn't mean gpe would be out in 15 days. It meant it will get the update fast out fast because it's gpe. The sense version, he didn't mean month, he meant before every other 3rd party skinned Android. And the carrier version didn't mean 3 months, he meant 1, carriers take f ING long to approve but even so, it will be faster than others. Calm your horses. I wish he never mentioned specific dates. So many people are going to bash if they don't deliver tomorrow. That's why devs don't give etas. Everyone goes bazurk
[One (M7) General] knightblaze:
Could just install the gel launcher and updated search apks. Working fantastic on my one, non rooted.
[One (M7) General] Acill:
I put the new search and GEL launcher on mine and it works fine, but I dont have the say ok google part working. Did you have to do something to enable it? Ive even removed the launcher and search, but it back and still nothing.

Other than that its working perfectly.

EDIT: I just got it working, I had to download the english US language pack again. It wasnt there when I looked in off line speech recognition section. Strange since it was automatically there on my Nexus 7 after putting the GEL and search on after kitkat update.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Mine works just fine. Check the hotword settings
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
Im using the GEL and its great. I only look forward to the Kit Kat OTA for the under the hood performances and clear notification bar. The white icons will be welcomed as well.

and the GPe camera isnt horrible, but isnt as nice as the HTC sense camera. It is in fact better than the Nexus 5 camera though...

Why do you think what

Sendt fra min HTC One med Tapatalk
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
HTC said within 15 days on October 31st, so that's why November 15th has been pegged. That is the 15th day since HTC made that comment.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Yes he did. The president of HTC America said 4.4 will be out for the Google Play Edition, and I quote, "within 15 days."

I do believe that was the original plan. If we don't get the update by the end of tomorrow, I suspect it's because they found an issue between then and now or because (conspiracy theory) Google is delaying the update because they want to get it out for the Nexus 4 first. Think about it. Google distributes Android updates through their own servers, so OEMs have to submit OTAs to Google to be pushed out. It would be a PR nightmare if 4.4 was pushed to the HTC One before the Nexus 4, so do you really think Google would post the HTC One OTA before it posts the Nexus 4 OTA? Even if it's already ready, I'm betting they would hold it.
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
its highly unlikely, but I would love it and I would laugh.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
But the OTA isn't pushed by Google. It's pushed by HTC (and they alone manage it)
[One (M7) General] PhoenixPath:
That would be friggin' hilarious though. For a bit there I was starting to think it would be on my One before it hit my Nexus 10.

Of course, they pulled a few features on the Nexus 10... (No ART, no transparency...what was the point again?)

Hopefully the HTC One GPe 4.4 release is a bit more satisfying. Can't wait to see what they do with it and with Sense on it down the road.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
All Android updates come from Google's servers. Do you think HTC and other OEMs have direct access to Google's update servers? HTC is responsible for creating and managing the update, but it still has to be certified by Google and posted to Google's servers.
[One (M7) General] CiDhed:
Are you sure about that?
[One (M7) General] mitchst2:
My understanding was Samsung and HTC manage gpe releases for their device.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Some will have to find the article but I veleive it was mentioned that the respective manufacturers would be responsible for pushing them out but Google would still approve the ota to make sure its good. Because originally people thought it would a nexus HTC one or nexus sgs4 but that wasn't the case.
