No after downloading it says install, when I press install it says please wait. Then nothing, it doesn't show in tweaks either.

Yes sense icon packs. I was trying a few out and it was working but when it stopped installing them I couldn't get rid of one, the one called IX a red and white one?
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Even though it still says install, it works fine for me mate and I see it in tweaks, just tap install one or two times and then you can set it in tweaks it doesn't show the apply option as you said but it still works
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Yes that one works and I can't remove it somehow!

I tried deleting all sorts of folders and caches.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Now I understand what you're saying seems to be a small bug, it's removed in hub and from sdcard/venom/sense_icon_pack but it's still a visible option in tweaks. I wouldn't worry about it too much as you can just select another icon pack to use and ignore that one. Thanks for the report, we will look into it.
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Actually I can't install other packs?
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
other themes install fine after, just download and install, pressing apply doesn't seem to do anything but it's still in there in tweaks to be applied
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Im trying to install the tron set and the pfaffinator blue theme but they don't show in tweaks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Go to app drawer->press three dot menu->manage apps->go across to all-> search for "ix" and remove it, hope that fixes your issue. It's possible that some of the themes may not download or install or be supported, they've been around for a while, I'm sure they will be looked into whenever the person in charge of that has time. You can download icon packs from play store and try those and activate them in tweaks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Good_vibes:
That's great, but is it possible to have semi transparent Navbar in all apps? It's never transparent in apps.

Better yet would be "semi transparent Navbar matching the statusbar color" ?

Tapatalked from my One
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Could someone confirm that these two packs will install for me? I am going to do a full wipe but I want to make sure first. Thanks.

How do you get auto brightness to function normally? It does not work at all for me, been trying to adjust it manually all the time
[One (M8) Android Development] enerGy:
Mine was working ok (i think) lol but tbh I dont use auto now I just put it on the first bar and its good, not to dark and not to bright ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
Well, like I said, I downloaded the ViperDark 4.5.0 theme last Sunday, over LTE (my fault). I know for a fact it downloaded to /sdcard/Viper/add-ons, because that's where I found it to check the size of the monstrosity that took ~15 minutes to download over Verizon's LTE. (Again, not mad. I wouldn't have ran up my full 2GB cap anyway. I'm usually very conservative with my data. So this splurge was okay, albeit unexpected.) And I saw it in there. I certainly didn't delete it. I wanted to keep it around in case I flashed something else and inevitably came back to Viper. Could it have deleted itself upon flashing? Anyway, when I went to flash it this morning, having updated to 4.5.1 (dirty flash over 4.5.0) it was no longer where it downloaded to. I thought, did I move it to my downloads folder? My ROMs folder? Nope, it's nowhere. I find it highly unlikely the ROM would have deleted it, but I'm at a complete loss as to where it went.

Ditto root... I mean, I ran a Titanium backup ("Forced redo of all your backups") right before flashing ViperDark 4.5.1.1. Right after flashing it, I tried to access /data in FX File Explorer, and it was denied. AdAway and Titanium couldn't get root, the latter saying the su binary was not present on my phone at all. I did not verify this with a file manager. But I was able to download SuperSU, reboot to recovery, and flash it. Now root is fine.

The camera issue is the same camera issue I posted about a couple times last weekend... page 491, 492, thereabouts. The HTC camera apk will load up, but the interface never gets drawn. Sometimes touching near the top will make the flash light for a second, so it's like it's running, but I can't get it to take pictures by pressing where I know the shutter button is, or switch cameras by touching where the mode button (the four circles) is. All I can really do is swipe up or left and get a navbar, and hit Home. It's not the hardware. Google Camera works. Barcode scanners work. Hell, upon a clean flash, the HTC camera itself works, but after as little as half an hour, as long as 2 weeks (that was with 4.3.0, 4.5.0 and 4.5.1 lose it much faster), the camera works as I described. And of course I flashed the camera fix in the hub. I don't care about the duo camera stuff at all. Just wanna take regular pictures. I'm about 95% okay with Google Camera, I just think it's odd that a Sense ROM can't use the Sense camera.

I posted a logcat for the camera issue back on page 491 or 492, but I'm happy to pull a second one if anyone wants to look it over. Running Verizon, firmware OS 4.17 (latest as of 3/15/15), Viper 4.5.1 with ViperDark 4.5.1.1 and the camera fix, have recently (couple weeks ago) RUU'd to stock 5.0.1, flashed TWRP, clean flashed Venom. RUU and 4.17 firmware standing by on my SD card (renamed) in case I need them again.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pete02:
So you think it's a problem with the base? I was thinking of trying a different rom as BT is really rather important to my bro but if the same thing is gonna happen then it's not worth the effort. I was also thinking it could be the fact that he is on vzw cause my other bro's phone is on att and he has never had any problems with viper. I guess the search continues but either way thanks for the update!
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Could you link me to the posts you are speaking about please, like post the URL, I'm thinking you surely don't mean pages 491/492, even on the Verizon specific thread that's a while ago. So please post a link so I can read as to what your problem was and what you may have tried to fix it. I'll also read over this post you just made in detail and see if I can shed any light for you.

P.S. wasn't saying you were mad, was just trying to figure out your problem
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Dude, tl;dr. Seriously. What they keep telling me. This one is too long.

One word:

RUU.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Well, that's actually three words made into an acronym, or more specifically an initialism . But I won't disagree here.
[One (M8) Android Development] harry655:
Yeah well it's sort of been pointing to that from the beginning. Although there is a couple of guys that have there's working, which also points to a compatibility issue for the rest of us, it makes sense that this M9 port with all its .lib/.so or whatever BT files doesn't gel too well with our older M8 chipset...

As much as I could use car BT connection I wouldn't veer from Viper ROM, I like too much. Not too mention that All M9 ports to the M8 have bugs anyway.

It'd be interesting to see if you could get another port to work tho. For now it's BT earphones in the car for me.

Your bro on att, is he running Viper 4.5.1? or v4.3.0? I had 4.3 and super solid, never any issues so maybe that's an option for your bro on vzw.
[One (M8) Android Development] cr1960:
same here - M8 International 4.5.0

location updates, but weather always stays the same.
[One (M8) Android Development] dragontology:
Here's where I originally had the problem with 4.5.0. Logcat attached to that post, too.

I fixed it! Okay... the problem is, HTC Camera absolutely needs rotation. Someone should post that somewhere. I have an app that enables 180° rotation. Does Viper have a setting that enables this? I have a Flygrip and it's not only possible, but really convenient to 'hang' my phone, off a monitor, TV, or cabinet handle, and I like it to work upside down.

So I got this rotation app that does absolutely nothing (or so I thought) when rotation is disabled on the phone. When rotation is enabled, the app locks rotation to whatever it's set at, and I have it set to upside down (Portrait, reverse). So, rotation on, it's upside down. Rotation off, it's right side up.

I enabled rotation because I noticed that, if I rotated the phone, the camera's UI would rotate. Still wouldn't work, so I remembered the app. Disabled it, and bam, HTC Camera works again.

The reason it was delaying was because, when the app is first installed, it does not do anything until told to. Apparently I was using it a lot sooner with 4.5.x (when I clean, my phone is 'hanging around' in the area).

Awesome. Lesson learned: Third party hacks can conflict with a ROM in unexpected ways.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Interesting point regarding the compatibility issue...I have one of the first M8's, pre-ordered from AT&T the day they became eligible for sale. As stated a while ago, after I clean installed 4.5.0, i had the BT issues mentioned numerous times. On a whim I restored my BT parings (data only) from Titanium Backup, rebooted, and everything has worked since. My headset, SYNC audio in my car, external BT speakers, etc. Nothing changed when I dirty flashed 4.5.1 so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
I'm happy for you, restoring data from TiBu sometimes causes issues even if it's just app data, only sure fire way to restore stuff us manually but editions for every time so I'm glad your Bluetooth works, I didn't restore anything and mine worked, not true for everyone though

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Hacks sometimes do more harm than good, generally if you have an issue and post about it and no one can help you, reproduce it or you do an RUU and it still occurs it's probably user error, in any case glad you figured it out
[One (M8) Android Development] Pete02:
I hear ya and my bro feels the same. He really doesn't wanna leave viper but his Harley motorcycle just got an update to the system so he has many more options to play with and the fact that he can't connect let alone get a call thru his helmet is just a bummer. When my bro was on viper 4.3 the BT connected fine with his bike but his car kept giving him smart lock errors and then disconnecting. We thought maybe updating to 4.5 would help but didn't and now he can't even connect to the bike again. My end game would be to put him back on 4.3 and then at least one of his vehicles can connect. My other bro on att just connects to BT headsets as his car doesn't have that option yet but he's never had any problems with viper. Maybe I should test his out on my car and see what happens?

In the meantime I've been eye balling Andy's Fluent Rom in the vzw m8 section. He's another brilliant dev I've followed from back in the day and being that his is in the vzw section I'm wondering if it might work. I'm gonna try it tonight but it'll prolly be a couple of days before my bro gets back to me on whether it works or not. As soon as he does I'll let ya know.
[One (M8) Android Development] harry655:
I tried that a few days ago when you mentioned it, didn't work. I had to re-pair my other devices too. I think you just got lucky Bob.

You could (try pairing with another car) just for fun, and let us know. I might try someone else's car if I get a chance, just for the hell of it.

I haven't had any smartlock errors with either ROMs.

As far as BT in general goes, it's worth noting that not every device is compatible with all others I think (even when it comes to the latest and greatest), although most are these days...

[One (M8) Android Development] harry655:
You guys ARE aware that you can control the levels whilst on Auto brightness via the extended navbar slider? Could that be a bit too low for you? Mines on about a 3rd and it's ok for winter.

If that's not there, if you have enabled statusbar brightness slider, you may have slid across the statusbar to the left unknowingly and now it's too low possibly?
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

by the bottom bar

or the display and menu actions

I have the same problem
[One (M8) Android Development] Ravenmtx:
Sliding using the status bar itself. Much like sweep to sleep the navbar except it's sweep the status bar. Left to darken, right to brighten.
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Its working or so much people. Ensure you disable statusbar brightness slider in VenomTweaks->Statusbar ro prevent accidently adjusting the brightness.

Then go to Settings-Display and ensure the slider is set to max. That slider will affect the rbightness even if you have autobrihgtness enabled.
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
I had to do something wrong

becaufe my screen is always too dark

I can not be automatic
[One (M8) Android Development] Broodn:
Did you ever have the status bar brightness slider enabled. If you did that could be the issue. I had the same issue on the 4.3.0 build where I use it then disabled it an my screen was darker then normal. To fix it I had to enable the status bar brightness slider swipe the status bar to get the brightness to its highest setting then disable that feature an everything was back to normal.
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
the bottom bar or my 3rd picture is the same?!
[One (M8) Android Development] Broodn:
Did you ever use the status bar brightness slider tweak?
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
so, but I have not seen any difference settings

I would use in automatic as in 4.3.0
[One (M8) Android Development] Broodn:
I just tested it on my M8. The status bar brightness slider is enabled by default at least it was for me. My suggestion is swipe the status bar to get the brightness as high as it will go then disable the tweak.
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
it does not change anything

as soon as I put automatic

it gets very dark
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Very dark is so relative. You should buy an M9, then you'd understand what dark means...
[One (M8) Android Development] Basil3:
Is your light sensor fine? If something is obstructing it, it would think it's dark all the time, and the screen would be dim
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm0607455890:
I do not have to compare M9

4.3.0 but I had no worries

the problem came right away with 4.5.0

I cleaned my phone 3 times to be sure (before posting)

but hey I'm not the only apparently

or so we all have a dirty sensor
[One (M8) Android Development] gaurika:
guys, it's not dirty sensor.

Autobacklight is working ok in RUU.

So is BT.

Someone asked above about checking BT with another car. Done that already, same FC with both my cars, different media systems.
[One (M8) Android Development] mpetrossian:
Same for me :(
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
Hello, a lot of people do not have the problem, we're sorry you're having issues but it's working well for many users and if you've tried all the steps suggested which it looks like you have it seems that nothing else can be done for you. Sorry that you're facing the issue. May I suggest simply adding the Auto brightness icon to your horizontal quick setting and setting your brightness manually? You can always try the suggested steps again but I don't think there is much we can do if it isn't working for you and some others but works fine for others.

Sorry you're having issues, as I stated in the other reply auto backlight is working well for some and not for others if you have tried all the steps suggested in the last few pages of this thread and since release I don't know how else you can try to fix it. As for BT was working fine for everyone as far as I know on 4.3.0, that's the last version you can compare an RUU to, this is a port no RUU for the M8 can have this android and sense version as they were not released yet (as far as I know). The M9 has a different "version" of bluetooth, some people face issues, some people do not, I have also tried it in multiple cars, different media systems (none with MAP protocol as far as I know) and I never had any BT FCs but we also know many people have and the devs are doing their best to get it working perfectly. In the last day or two many users have discussed this and some managed to find a way to fix their problem while the same steps didn't work for others. Again the devs know there is an issue with BT and are taking steps to try to remedy them. These little "bugs" etc that people face are part of using a port, the devs are trying to get the port to work perfectly but it's not easy and trust me they are hard at work in real life and on XDA. Please be patient as they try to get everything working perfectly for every user, if any of the 4.5.x bugs, problems etc. make the ROM unusable for you then you can try returning to the last usable version until official base/a fix is released.
[One (M8) Android Development] gaurika:
Thanks Kratos, I will do so. Actually, I'm on latest RUU for now, waiting for news from devs. So no pressure from my side. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Pete02:
Well said Kratos. My bro is one of the ones having BT issues but by no means am I busting anyone's chops. The Viper team has always done outstanding work and I know very well that the problem he's having is not their fault. I as well as others really appreciate all their hard work and will patiently wait for a fix. In the meantime I'll do what I can from my end but like you said, if it's really that important to him I'll take him back to 4.3 or even stock if I have to.
[One (M8) Android Development] Basil3:
I've made them both work again, but bear in mind that they are old and a lot of the activity names are wrong. This means that you're going to have to use customize in tweaks to make a lot of the icons apply.

then 4.5.1
[One (M8) Android Development] Ravenmtx:
Try going to the Misc section in Tweaks. Then go to Autobacklight Brightness and try changing the mode there. If it's already on normal, change it to something else, turn the screen off then back on, then change it back to normal and then turn the screen off and on.

maybe R.U.U and direct 4.5.1 will allow me to go well

I just R.U.U. 4.5.0 and 4.5.1 without flash wipes for ùSD issues

this may be the reason
[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
The reason for your issues might be that it's a M9 Port and nothing officially released by HTC.

Also, I've noticed that since flashing from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1, that my keyboard trace has a significant delay. As in, after swiping a word, the trace stays put for about 0.5 sec - 0.75 sec before pulling up a word. Previously, it only seemed like about a 1ms delay. Anyone else experience this? Should I try another keyboard?
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
It has lag on 4.5.0 as well. I just tried with Swiftkey. No lag.
