I'm running ViperOne on my M8 but don't see an option to change the key itself. I know you can change the color of the keys but can you change the functionality of the keys also?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
I would also like to know if you can change the button functionality with this app (or another app). I miss the setting on the DNA that let you use the app switcher button as a menu button too!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
No, as far as I know the app is merely cosmetic. Actual navbar function edits can be done per custom ROM or through some xposed modules depending on what ROM you are running.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
That's a bummer! I can't believe they removed that setting!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
You mean this mod?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
Hmmm, one person said it didn't work on the M8, but I'll give it a try! Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Well, it's working on my Verizon One M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
Worked great!! Thanks man! Now if I could figure out why the unread messages notification bubble was missing from my messages icon, this phone would be perfect!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
If you did the Extreme Power Saver mod, you substituted the Spring messaging app for the Verizon one. I didn't get the missing messages bubble on my last handset when I activated that mod. Not running it on this handset and I get the bubble.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
Well, I did do the extreme power mod, but the messaging app doesn't look any different! Is there any way to remove the power mod so I can see if the unread bubble comes back? Thanks for the help!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
If you're using a Sense mod, Sense Toolbox will let you configure Back and Recent for long-press options, but not Home. This is regardless of what they actually look like.

All SoftKeyz does is say, if there's a Back button here, use this graphic. If there's a Home button here, use this one. And so on. It's very simple. I used to use it, but I currently fancy the Android L navbar (the semi-secret one that looks normal, not the iOS-inspired shapes) so I'm using the Xposed module for that. Works wonders. Also available in SoftKeyz, but the Xposed module does it fine. Easier to do.

If you have a good AOSP ROM, there's a cherry pick that they all have access to that lets you add and remove, and sort buttons, set their long press shortcuts, and choose what they look like, all from one place. LiquidSmooth has it, but I have yet to try it on the M8. (I need my speakerphone.) It had it on the Galaxy S3, I mean. I know CM doesn't use it (they didn't support the navbar at all on the S3—not sure how they handle the M8).

tl;dr: For complete control of your navbar, you have to use LiquidSmooth, or any other AOSP ROM with that cherry pick, but then you can't use your speaker phone until they fix that. Next best solution is a Sense ROM with Sense Toolbox in Xposed and SoftKeyz, but then you can't use ART. But with Dalvik, I average 16-20 hours on a charge, and I charge when I sleep so... Not worried about ART.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krakora:
I've had my M7 as a back up device for a few months, now just getting to rooting and ROM'ing. The Sense is nice, but I hoping to get as close to a Nexus/clean android experience as possible. I flashed CM11 last night, happy with it except the camera is not working. So... a couple questions:

1) is there any ROMs that the camera actually works? (kitkat?)

2) do I need to find a Sense ROM to make the camera work again?

Thanks all!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MurphysLaw0817:
Hello, R.

I've been a regular user of the CM11 Nightlies (most recently "11-20140319-NIGHTLY-m7spr") as my daily driver and have had no problems with the camera myself.

What, specifically, is it doing or not doing? Is it force closing, freezing, etc., or not opening at all?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krakora:
Thanks for the response. It begins to open the application then gives a "Camera Error"... "Can't connect to the camera". I've tried force closing, clearing cache, rebooting. Nothing is working, everything else is perfect. So strange. Also, tried downloading other camera apps from the play store, no go. What else am I missing besides reflashing the whole ROM again??

Thanks again!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krakora:
Understood. Any ideas here guys? After additional searching, one comment was that it could be a conflict in kernals. ie: I flashed a CM ROM but kept a Sense kernal? I am S-On... so not sure if that was the issue.....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
If others aren't having this problem, I highly doubt it's a problem with the ROM itself. Would you mind doing a clean wipe and reflashing? And yes, don't flash anything except the CM ROM and the Gapps.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krakora:
Thanks sauprankul. Yes I ended up (re)flashing another ROM and all is working. I used Goo manager, which I'm sure is offensive to the purists out there. ;). Thanks again for everyone's input.

R.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
You're absolutely right. Any app that you get off the play store scares the crap out of me. But I'm glad everything is working now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] kzersatz:
So,

In an attempt to install CWM, I've got to update to 10.26.1.18 for the version I want to go to.

I've attempted to use the manual process to no avail

Download the image

Put it on SD card at root after unzipping ONLY ONCE.

File name is UL-K00C-US-20.26.1.18-user.zip

Yes, it's a US SKU tablet, it's currently running JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801

The card is formatted with FAT32, it's a 2g MicroSD card (I've tried a 32g SDHC Card as well)

I've cleared out the CMClient and the DMClient apps

I've even attempted to download it directly from ASUS support to the tablet itself, extracting locally, etc. no dice.

I've attempted to cold boot numerous times, wiped once, but I never get the notification in the lower right hand corner that there is an available update.

TL;DR TF701 can't find files for manual update, I'm about ready to throw it out the window.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
You put it at location /sdcard/

You dont put it on the microSD afaik

I thought also there is an update in settings before you do it? I dont remember exactly.
[Asus Transformer TF701] kzersatz:
I have a copy of it there too...

No dice.

Also, to add to it, I have the device unlocked.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
That doesnt sound good. Id wait to see what sbdags has to say. Not sure what you can do at that stage.
[Asus Transformer TF701] kzersatz:
If I've gotta drop on an older version of CWM to flash a newer version of an OS to jocky it all around, i'm not adverse to the foot work, it's all just annoying lol
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
If you have 10.1.6.14.10 on it then you have flashed a TF700 boot loader on it.

Game over in my opinion. Not sure how you can recover from that.......

Unless you have a TF700? In which case you are in the wrong forum....... And flashing the wrong firmware.....
[Asus Transformer TF701] kzersatz:
Ha... you... wow.

I'm going to go hide now :)

Let me go test one thing and I'll report back :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF701] kzersatz:
Yeaaa, lock this.

Stupidity reigns supreme.

TF700; wrong guide, wrong recoveries, I'm very lucky I didn't brick it.

Thanks guys!

Do you use snapchat? I had this issue occasionally happen to my GS4 when I had switched from snapchat camera to another app or the home screen and then to the stock samsung camera.

I solved it by closing both apps and restarting the one that I needed. I haven't experienced this issue with my GS5 yet, but I've been using it for less than 24 hours.

There is one over in the Verizon thread. If you just changed the partition numbers in the updater script there is a fairly decent chance it would boot on a Sprint variant.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don164:
Let me start this off by saying I'm sorry for posting this thread in this side forum which is designed for developers, I only done this so the thread can be recognized and hopefully I can get some expert advice.

I am a 2nd year Forensic Computing student (UK resident/university) and I've been looking into a final year project which involves some form of forensic analysis of a computing system. Ever since I bought my HTC One and I rooted it, I've become quite interest in android as a whole. As of late, my HTC became carrier blocked (I bought it on contract from an eBay seller and they blocked it and won't respond back) so in essence I have a glorified media player but still a powerful device.

I want to make my final year project (Which accounts for roughly 40% of degree) a forensic analysis of a rooted android phone.

I'm posting here (In the midst of developers) because I wish to attain advice and knowledge and some form of help (I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, neither am I attempting to cheat) so I can produce a great project and a impressive dissertation.

Thank You (I'm sorry moderators but in normal forums, I don't know if this would have become recognized)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don164:
Thank you for the response, although it's not quite what I'm after. I'm looking at criminal point of view. For example if I obtain a phone which is rooted. How is it different to obtaining Data from a non rooted phone. Thank You
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
In that case we'd need to know 'Who's' data you are after obtaining, the users data or data from the handset itself?

Both can have the same or disimilar results when rooted or unrooted depending on the previous, what and who's data :what: along with, on different handsets, different controls, software and securities, under different handsets not all data is in the same place.

Seems a simple question to answer but it all depends on the goal and with which ball you're playing with ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don164:
I intend to use my rooted my HTC One for the analysis but my main objective is to get at the data as it may prove to critical for a criminal case. My overall objective is looking into rooted phones as a whole but since I only have access to my own HTC and it's rooted, it'll be based on that. Thank You
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
User Data the objective.

Rooted or Unrooted isn't necessarily what is required to access User Data, having access to Recovery and the ability to install a Stock/Pre-made/Self-Built Recovery can give you the ability to 'copy out' the required data.

Only having root access helps when you require the same access whilst the OS is operational or running a command window using adb/fastboot as to the handset you are still at a 'User' level, Recovery (because what it can and has the ability to do) is more like an 'Admin' level, where you could, if the option is there or built in, copy the complete storage device.

This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706308

[Please Read] We need help to try and find out how to get into stock 4.4 recovery!

shows if you have no access to a system and there is no access in Recovery to Backup your Data you are to a degree denied your basic right to have 1 backup copy for restoration but can also render gaining root access almost impossible which makes gaining copying User Data harder.

Hope this helps ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don164:
I only mentioned "rooted" because I currently have a HTC One which is rooted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
Really you need to know if...

Attempting root by means of an app/program whilst the /system is in operation.

Attempting root via recovery/fastboot/hboot/ruu/euu at lower level programs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
Well XDA is probably one (if not The) best place to find out what is and isn't possible to do anything with a phone ;) and idea's are where it starts and the knowledgebase can quickly expand once people twig what you're onto :what:

okay

so if i understand you, you want to break into the phone, yes? that's what forensics is.

flash a stock kernel to your recovery partition or, mod recovery images mount points ramdisk and permissions to enablde adb operations

to pull the data, loop mount it in linux , browse pull analyse change etc.

seems like a long winded way to complicate an orgasm, having read through the thread i still don't get the surface of what you asking.

if your trying to carve out deleted files find or cross compile foremost. if prof argues about rights and legality argue a national security

life and death security over freedom angle.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiso:
I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this but every time I try to flash a custom kernel on CM11 and PA4 with cwm 6...4.8 camera app freezes like usual but then freezes again after 5 secs which is not usual.

Not only does this happen on custom kernals but stock CM11 and PA as well e.g. when I was in the science museum using PA taking pics everything was working well, then phone froze so I did a reboot in fact 5 reboots and camera displayed same symptoms as explained above. Also on CM11 stock kernal I did a regular reboot to apply full theme and bam camera stopped working all AF a sudden.

To fix I had to reflash ROM. I even did a full wipe( including format system) and still had same symptoms.

Pimped kernal just breaks camera straight from reboot no matter how many times I reboot it doesn't fix the problem. Only fix seems to reflash ROM (no need to wipe). Restoring stock/original ROM kernel fixes it but WiFi does not work.

Any way to get custom kernels to work without breaking camera?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croppz:
Alright guys, so I got rid of my HTC One M7 and got a iPhone 5s because I'm a tech nerd and can't have the same phone for very long. That was a few months ago and now looking at switching back to Android for a bit.

Question is, guy wants to trade his Note 3 for my 5s. I'm still not sold on the Note 3 because I've never had touchwiz, nor am I completely sold on the screen size, however I could get used to it. Would it be a good trade or should I just wait/sell my 5s and buy the S5/M8/Note 4 (when it releases)? I've only played with the note 3 a few times but it is pretty dang nice.

That's the thing. Biggest phone I had was the HTC Droid DNA which was 5 inches and I loved it. The screen on the Note 3 is pretty damn big haha, but when I messed with my buds today it was nice to have everything pop up and hit you in your face.

I like the 5s for what it is, a great camera haha. Main reason I got rid of my M7 One was because of the crappy camera and I figured I'd give the 5s a try. It isn't terrible but I won't consider another iPhone until they make a bigger one and fix some things.

Me and my wife both upgraded devices from GS3's. I got the N3 she got the 5s, both 32gb. I love my phone she hates the 5s. Heres a few comparisons.

*Even when I dont have my ZeroLemon battery I go almost 2 days before charging, shes usually charging through out the day.

*Taking pictures/videos of our kids she uses my phone if I'm around, N3 is way sharper on the camera.

*We tend to throw alot of apks, pictures, movies etc on our phones with our kids. Way easier to do just swapping microSD cards out then transferring through the cable.

*I don't know if its our area or what, but I get alot better/stronger/faster signal on both 3G and 4G for some reason than her 5s.

*She thinks its still a little big for her, but she's 5'1 I'm 6ft and have a ZeroLemon and I have no problems with it.

*Facetime, the main reason she got it, it is alot clearer than Skype I'll give them that, but once again way nicer on the big screen.

*Multiple devices- I also have an Asus tablet and my sons Nabi 2. I can sync apk data to other devices, or if I'm browsing the market sign in under his google account and download apks OTA for him. I don't have any other Apple products in my house so I'm not sure if you can do that too with an iPhone.

Those are just some of the comparisons between my wifes 5s, and my N3. We're both on the Edge plans Im probably going to keep my N3 this year because I love it, my wife has already said she wants to maybe get a N4 or GS5, she'll never go back unless Apple really steps there game up.
