[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] RockStar2005:
"Thanks meter".......DONE. lol

Yeah sure........... ok here we go lol:

Xposed Installer: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Sense 6 Toolbox: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.sensetoolbox.six

1) Posted above are links to the Xposed Framework mod, and also the Sense 6 Toolbox mod as well. Do everything below from your PHONE. Your phone MUST be rooted in order for this to work btw!

2) Download Xposed. Allow SU to give it root access when prompted by the SU pop-up.

3) While in Xposed, tap on Framework, CHANGE installation mode to "Recovery (flash zip automatically)", then tap on Install/Update. Then "ok" to boot to recovery.

4) From memory, I believe it basically does everything for you from there on with regards to the install. If not sure, post back here and I'll reply ASAP, but it should be pretty self-explanatory. Just after it's done tap on "Reboot to System" (if asked, which actually I don't think it does).

5) Go back to Xposed and tap again on Framework. The 2 numbers at top should BOTH be in green, not red font. If either is in red, let me know. If both green, then the install was a success!

6) Next, download the Sense 6 Toolbox mod by clicking on the link as you did earlier, but this time, you'll see an option to let Xposed open it. Choose that option (click "Just once" to be safe).

7) Scroll over to "Versions" and download the highest version # (at top). I currently see it as 1.3.0

8) Let it download, and again let SU give it root access when prompted.

9) Go back to Xposed, tap on Modules, and Sense 6 Toolbox should be listed there. If it's not, lemme know. Check the box there to activate it.

10) Sense 6 should NOW be activated on your phone! Go to Settings and it should be the first one listed in the "Personal" section. Tap on that bad boy.

11) What you'll see there is a PLETHORA of tweaking options. Check around in there as there may be other tweaks you'd like to try out.

12) Ok now for what you've been waiting for lol...................... tap on Wake Gestures.

13) Tap on Double tap and choose or make sure "Wake up" is selected.

14) For ALL the individual swipe options (don't skip any), choose "Disable".

15) I personally like the "Volume keys to turn camera on" gesture option, so for that one, tap on it and choose "Launch app", then choose "Camera" for the Launch app sub-option listed there under Volume Keys. Or disable if that's not your thing. lol

16) Make sure "Wake gestures" switch at top is turned to On. I keep haptic feedback on, but not sure it matters as it vibs regardless of what u choose.

17) All gestures under "Display and gestures" and "Motion Launch gestures" should be activated, except Quick Call. Turn that **** off. lol Reboot phone. Not sure if you have to, but I needed to before it worked.

18) After reboot is done, turn screen off. Try double-tapping. If it works, then turn screen off again and try swiping in ANY direction. You should feel the haptic vib feedback (normal), but the screen should NOT be turning on. If it does, try rebooting again. Also, test the volume buttons after screen is turned off to make sure the camera still activates as selected.

And there you go! Bye bye stupid swipe!! lol I also recommend going to Play Store and downloading the "Screen Off and Lock" app by Katecca (free app). Love it! Install and make sure it's activated (I think instant but double-check), Then put your finger on virtual home and slide UPWARDS about a quarter of the way to the top. A pop-up will ask if you want keep going to Google Search using this gesture as your default, or turn off screen. Choose turn off screen and then Always. (You can clear this option whenever you want by going to Lock's configuration settings, and tapping on "Clear default action......." at bottom. You also can enable a shortcut in notification pane too if you like.) No more needing to rely on the Power button so much anymore! You now have a PIMP phone!! lol :cool:

Not sure about the text messages thing. I use "G Cloud Backup" by Genie9 (also free) in the Play Store to backup my text messages (does it every night via wi-fi, though you can shut that option off if you like and use data). I ONLY have it scheduled to backup text messages, nightly. HTC Backup (in Backup and reset) claims to backup messages too though (not sure if Google Backup does, don't think so), but I haven't tested it out yet to make sure. Seems like Google backup works even if u choose the HTC option. Anyway, get G Cloud at least for future nightly backups. That one def works for me. Make sure to enable auto backup too in G Cloud settings. It will backup all text messages though no pics/videos (understandable).

Hope that helps! Again, any questions, post here or e-mail me (I'll respond to either at the same time). If you wanna upgrade your BoomSound to Harmon/Kardon sound (B+ to A+ sound lol), lemme know. You'll need to a rooted phone w/ S-OFF (S-ON is fine, but better to have S-OFF), and the newest OTA update in order to get it. Adding PowerAmp (full version, not free, but WORTH IT) music player to that, which is my current setup, makes for a TOP-OF-THE-LINE music experience. I can even supply screenshots of my PowerAmp EQ settings (easy) and give u other important Settings info as well.

P.S. When u turn screen off and swipe, you WON'T be able to double-tap or use the volume buttons to wake it for several seconds. Prob a security thing to reduce the likelihood of an accidental wake. I think it's about 20-30 seconds, but not sure. You can try timing it.
