i just wanted to know if current are happy that they made the purchase and are not regretting it
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
Basically im not happy, i had the z1 which was great, i have just bought the new z2 and already had it replaced, but both have the same issue which seems to be software rather than hardware.

At then moment the tablet has got a terrible issue with the touch screen freezing and being non responsive.

Not sure how long or if its going to be fixed anytime soon.

Apart from that which is a bit of a let down, the tablet is nice and will be very good once this is fixed.

Sony? can you fix soon please before i send my tablet back? :D

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roll7:
Hello,

I am new to Android. Have a HTC One M8 with Viperone Rom. I have moved from iPhone.

I have done some thorough research but sometimes can't find a straight answer. I hope you guys can help give me some guidance. Some questions may be totally ridiculous so excuse my ignorance.

Questions about Lock Screen:

1. How can I modify lock screen? I would like something similar to iOS.

2. There are lock screen launchers on the app store, is there other alternatives? App store launchers feels like add-ons to stock lock screen - doesn't feel smooth nor secure.

3. Access notification panel on lock screen? Even without entering pass code?

4. Better music controls like iOS?

Questions about Home Screen:

1. How to modify launcher? Any home screens that mimic windows phone 8 live tiles?

2. Can I get Google Now Launcher for Viperone Rom?

3. Can I enable/disable widgets to save on battery life?

4. Is there a way of replacing blinkfeed with google now or an entire full screen app such as faceboook or flipboard?

Questions about Notification Panel:

1. Any iOS-like notification panel?

2. Control Center like panel with unified music controls?

Questions about Battery Life:

1. My battery life is very bad. 3 hours with screen on over a whole day period - See attached. Is that normal?

2. What is the most common GPU Governor? I had mine on ONDEMAND but now moved to conservate. Makes a difference with battery life?

Questions about Viperone and Sense:

1. Is there multi-tasking dual app function?

2. I don't see any sound enhancer option?

3. No switch for changing from 4G to 3G to 2G mobile radio?

4. Activator like function?

5. Can I disable Google Now switch up home button function? Sometimes it's really sensitive and buggy?

Sorry for the numerous questions! But if anyone can answer them all for me it will be greatly appreciated!!

Regards,

RollZ
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxellis:
Lockscreen:

You can change it to the AOSP lockscreen in the Viper tweaks and see if you like that (look under the lockscreen section)

I believe you can already access the notification bar while one the lockscreen unless changed in viper tweaks

Homescreen:

To have a windows tiled homescreen you can try Launcher 8

Google Now Launcher Cant download from the play store and have to download the apk, and install and keep it updated yourself....

You can remove The blinkfeed page but i do not believe you can replace it... Not to my knowledge

To disable widgets just delete it off the homescreen ... hold widget and drag to top

Notification Panels:

There aren't many ways to change the notification panel. But you can look in the Viper Tweaks and change what you want in there.

Music controls can be used on the lockscreen and notification panel, other than that Not quite sure

Battery

My phone usually lasts 24-48 hrs with texting and social things. be sure to use the power saver setting under battery in the settings. It helps a bit

I'd leave all that alone and stock. 1ghz cpu and ondemand govener. This phone is powerful and doesn't require 2ghz

Other:

I dont believe there is any one sense for dual app things... maybe someone else can come by and answer that

There are no music enhancements on the htc one m8 its just whats already there (I may get corrected) But I use power amp to tune my music how i want it. The audio is nice on this phone already. If you need a music enhancer check out Harman/Kardon mod Make sure you are S-off to avoid problems... S-off ing doesnt take that much experience and it self explanatory! Its good to have !

Not sure why you would want to be switching... but you can turn off LTE by going to setting and clicking on Mobile Data (not the on/off switch) and network mode and changing it that way or go into Venom Tweaks and the misc options and click phone info and there is a pop down menu with a bunch of options

Activator?

Not sure if you can switch the home button but you can go into Settings>apps>All and click Google Search and hit disable and if you ever want it back just go back to it and hit enable

I hope i help a little ! Have a nice night!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roll7:
Hello,

Thanks for your answers bilbox...but that stuff I already know.

But more technical stuff.

Tried AOSP lock screen from viper tweaks...its okay but don't see a camera shortcut like it should be.

notification panel I find can only be access if ur phone is within the time period set by the auto lock.

Notification panel tweaks are still very limited - and doesn't look as nice as iOS. No blurred translucency? and control center access with unified music controls? Some easy access widgets would be nice.

Launcher 8 I know but haven't tried...dunno how comprehensively good it is at mimics all features of home screen.

Widgets I know how to remove but is there a way to temporoarily disable for saving ram and battery?

Also can u have unlimited home pages? If no blinkfeed mod replacement that would be awesome mod request idea! Wouldn't it be great to swipe to have instant Facebook/messaging?

Probs have no choice but to tone down CPU settings for stupid battery.

How bout tweaks for auto switching mobile signal off while WiFi is on. I have a basic tasker set up but tasker says it has can't control certain settings aspect unless "rooted" which I Am!

Anyone can help answer other queries I have would be fantastic!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfdic:
Perhaps for your lockscreen try an app like widget locker...Lot of customization there once you get the right widgets. You could use Zooper or UCCW to create your own widgets as well.

There are good amount of notification panel tweaks in Venom Tweaks. That combined with Statusbar themes in the Hub should give you all the customization you would need.

What exactly do you think disabling widgets would save for battery life/ram? Probably better off looking into what is draining your battery so fast if that is an issue. Use an app like Better Battery Stats and as far as ram goes the phone has plenty so really no need to worry about it. Android itself actually does a pretty good job managing resources.

If you setup wifi and leave it on it should auto switch between mobile data/wifi when within or out of range. Leaving wifi on should not drain battery to much if properly configured.

You can not have unlimited home screens. I believe the limit in Viper is 5 and that can be increased to 7 using the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishmomo:
Notification pulldown tweaks aren't applying

I realize this is kind of an old thread.

I just installed ViperOne (6.2.0) on my HTC One M7 (AT&T). Android v. 4.4.2, Sense v. 6.0. I know this thread is for M8, but I doubt this would be an issue.

I've messed with the tweaks quite a bit and pretty much have everything the way I want, except for the notification pulldown screen. It has the weather and HEQS. I don't want these here.

I have Googled, read the User Guide on the Venom website, restarted the status bar on the phone, restarted the phone (quick and full), but I cannot hide the weather or HEQS. I tried the suggestions on the User Guide to make the notification area look more like stock.

Am I missing something? I very well could be.

Thank you in advance for any help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roll7:
Hello,

I don't have weather nor HEQS on my notification pull down.

Under venon tweaks > status bar, I have HEQS Style set to original and the Hide/Show Quick settings/Quick Launch set to Off. If you scroll futher down to the Notification pull down tweaks section, click weather and click hide, to hide the weather.

Hope that helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
Ok, after seeing a few posts a few days ago talking about people having animated status bar pulldown backgrounds, I decided to do some research because I had never heard of this before.

I noticed that for some reason the mod stopped with ICS.

So I decided to create a thread on how to add this feature to your ROM, or the ROM you are currently running.

The edits are very simple, actually, pretty much exact to the GB version of the mod.... however, they can be a little time consuming based on just how many images you would like to add to your animation.

​

I would like to send a thank you to....

and

Without your answers to a few questions I've had or tuts on how to do something... I wouldn't have this mod... Or a few others that I've put out....

So thank you guys for your help.

This guide is assuming you have either performed the DEV MOD in the post above or you are on a rom that has.... AND..... you already have the custom images you would like to use for your animation. If you do not, I recommend reading the guide created by [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] on how to create your own images

As stated above, the process is the same.

You could also search GOOGLE or XDA FORUMS for how to create frame by frame png animations... WARNING!!! It can be time consuming.

Ok, so if you want to use a different animation than what i have inside the mod, you will have to edit the xml inside of Systemui.apk.

also, im going to use post 6 as a place to post links to the animations for this mod on our phone.. if ya wanna post it here i'll link it in post 6....

and if you follow step 12 in [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] tutorial here

you can create an animated preview of the animation to post here for the screenshot....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pharmdeon:
I wasnt successful turning the 111 image into a zip though. The systemui I modified works, but once I make a zip out of it and flash it, it breaks the apk as before. I went back to the working nandroid and was able to flash the other 28 image one that I put together (I went back and forth between the Autobot and deception anims)

I may be zipping the 111 image XML and images wrong though?? ... I was pretty tired last night when messing around.:)

I don't think I have it set up to ALLOW FOR flashable zips with different amounts of images....

I may have to remove that post or redo the mod....

I would like to test my theory with what you have before I do that tho...

I would also like to state that i am not a dev... So I think its something that I wasn't aware of.....

But again I would like to test it before I go into all of that...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I've actually been looking into this myself, because I want to implement the ability to be able to switch between static pulldowns and animated pulldowns for MOAR :)

What I was thinking is the following (for making ANY number of pulldown images work, including a static one)

In xml, remove the reference to @ drawabe/pulldown (we'll define it via smali)

Add an init.d script that reads SystemUI.apk, checks to see how many pulldown_XX pngs there are and dynamically generates a pulldown.xml file that references each of those files. It then places this pulldown.xml file somewhere in the system (/data, /sdcard whatever)

In the smali, SystemUI, instead of loading a drawable named pulldown from it's resources, loads the pulldown.xml file we created with the script (using the createFromPath method from the Drawable api) and voila, pulldown that animates if there are multiple images, or is static when there is only 1 image.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
And that's why ur the boss man....

I wish I had the knowledge to add those edits to smali.... But I have only made edits to smali that you and tdunham directed me to in ur flashlight thread.... When I was trying to workout the missing toggle icon issue....

Other than that I have absolutely no knowledge of CREATING lines in smali or working with strings....

I will have to wait to see what you do with the mod on moar to even get an idea of how to do this... But you would prolly become willing to edit it for wicked x before i could figure that out lol...

I AM a quick learner... As some may have noticed..... But that's a little to high above my current level of knowledge to even have something close this MONTH.....

Can't wait to see what ya do with it man............

And I feel kinda honored to see ya taking this mod even further... Even tho I'm technically not the creator.... Just the modder lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
I Literally JUST edited post 4 and then i saw your post... .had to add that info to that post and re edit it lol.... cant wait to see what ya can do on that front man.... again... i will look at it to see if i can figure out what you are referring to (and i say that due to my level of knowledge on smali) but i will prolly not see it until i can compare with yours... but by then we can just use urs... maybe lol :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
sitting here thinking about it... i had a thought since ya said the pulldown.xml would be placed SOMEWHERE....

how bout seeing if the init.d script can read another location for the images... such as "sdcard/pulldown animation".... and plays the animation from that location outside of the systemui.apk....... then have the smali point to that location on the sdcard.... just remove the background from systemui.apk completely.... then the animation can be changed by a simply placing the images in that folder and reboot without flashing or modding the apk at all....

there would be no need for users to need a computer to zip the file and no need for flashing.. just place and reboot

because (and i could be wrong) each flashable zip to change animations would need to have a script that removed the current images from the apk before placing the new animation.... otherwise, flashing a 30 image ani over a 50 image ani would give part of the old one playing at the end of the new one cause the pulldown.xml still reads that there are 50 images......

again... thats your front.... but was just an idea i had after reading your post again.... ur way would prolly be better.. this is just a thought that popped up, i always trying to mod things... even if it aint here yet apparently lol

[MENTION=5184388]the_original_teknikl[/MENTION] I can't get the pulldown bar to work right. Not sure of how to fix that one but its still my standard gray one. Am I missing something to have it point it in the right direction maybe?

Open drawable/tw_close_handle_bg.xml and look for these 3 lines

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_press" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_press" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/tw_close_handle_bg_normal" />

Replace the above with this

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_bar_off" />
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
Hmm I didn't have to do all that... I included the xmls... Just drag and drop in the folders and edit the on and off xmls to customize the animation.

If ur using dazednconfuseds pulldown mod for the single bar... He made changes so it might be different... I can make a posting of that too when I look at it.... Not actually using that mod tho.....
