Hiya,

I went around looking for some hints on this phone as well but didn't come up with anything.

I got my device yesterday and I understand your issue. I have no sollution for you but I do have a solid work-around to get some more app space which, I'm afraid, involves rooting.

Activate USB debugging, connect your device to a PC. Download and run Kingo Android Root and follow the instructions.

After that I "adb'ed" to make the phone choose the SD-Card as the default installing path. Run th following command with adb.

# adb shell pm set-install-location 2

For the apps that wouldn't move to the SD-Card, due to su issues, I moved manually with the app called Move app to SD card.

Grant the app root access to sort out the apps not willing to move by themselves.

With this sorted I now have 500 mb of apps installed on the SD-Card. I am running low on memory now due to some parts of the app still installs on the phone memory.

Not a real app2sd script but it certanly will get you some more apps installed!

Another hint: When I ordered the phone they said it supported 16 GB SD-Cards only but I'm running flawless with a 64 GB card! ;)

I'd love to see a costum recovery (since I don't know chinese) and CM for this device, but since it's not a western phone I guess we'll have to settle with stock.

Hope this helps.

A few hours has gone by and without doing any backups I replaced some system apps and now I can bearly work the phone! Haha.. Thou shall not do this sort of thing after 2 h sleep. :(

Anyway, don't be afraid of doing what I wrote in the previous post, it worked just fine! I'm hoping you'll do it, it's the only way I can think of to get the system files back. :-S

Since there seem to be no one but you and me who have bought there phones..

edit: Sorted out my problem, got it running again! However, if you are going to root it, please do share the stock files! :-S
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
to use virtual memory you would have to root it and plus you cant get that much more ram with virtual memory, 256mb of ram on a 4.2.2 phone? i hope you got a good deal for it because 256mb will get you nowhere with nowadays google play apps updates hogging all the ram.

Move to SD card SUCCESSFUL!

Im so glad there was this thread, it seems like nobody else knows about this awesome little phone!

I followed the instructions that "pingaan" posted and it worked! now i can install as many apps to SD card as i want, awesome!
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
I'm glad I could help.
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
I've been using this device for about a week now and I have to say that the stock rom is horrible! There are many flaws and no updates incoming, as far as I know.

Another disappinting thing is that the screen material is >VERY< easily scratched so DO NOT order this phone without screen protection.

I am going to order a new one cause I love that it's so small! It's even smaller than my old "dumbphone", but I don't see myself using stock rom. I'd rather not use the phone at all.

I'm going to try to compile a custom recovery and port a suitable CM11 rom to this device for proper usage.

Don't expect it any time soon, cause my days are normally filled up with family, house and work.

Regards.
[General Questions and Answers] theb2c:
everything about this phone is pretty good for the size, except the ram is so ridiculously small, i've tried to add virtual ram with link2sd and partitioned sd card, but apparently link2sd won't work without hacing the bootloader unlocked first, but i can't unlock the bootloader as it seems like there doesn't seem to be proper drivers for this phone.

if you are planning to do a custom rom on there, please let us know how when and how you managed to get the bootloader unlocked plz! :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
Since I noticed the screen being easily scratched I ordered a new device from a different retailer, along with a plastic screen protection.

There is an interesting thing about this. The bootanimations are different and there's also a reboot option in the powermenu on the new.

Maybe the bootloader already is open? I mean, if you can change the power menu you need to alter the framework, right? The bootanimation is quite easy to change with root access however.

Have you checked the built-in recovery? There is actually an option for installing "update.zip"..

Do you have a proper app2sd script that I can try out on my old device?

Cheers...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiserTom1:
Hi!

I had to let my HTC One M7 be repaired in a store for the next two weeks. The person who took my phone asked me to take

all

the files from the phone (like a USB Flash drive) and paste it in a folder on Windows.

I did it. But now I am using my old Samsung Galaxy 1 and I can't find the Agenda/Calendar file in the folder. There are weird file names. It took me hours and I haven't found it yet. I'd like either to put it on my Samsung phone or in my iCalendar (Mac). Do you have any idea?

Thank you already :highfive:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You can pull it from a OTA or custom ROM zip like ARHD.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiserTom1:
I have to precise I do not have the HTC One M7 with me. Only an old Samsung Galaxy S1. Did you mean an emulator on PC or Mac?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
The calendar app is a core Android app, it would be located in the drive root. Unless, you have root access you would not have been able to access the folder. Since, it is a core app it should still be on your phone when you get it back. An over the air (OTA) update file is sent to your phone when there is an system update. It is a zip file that can be opened with winzip or other zip programs. The custom ROM files are zip files that developers have made to customize the operating system of the phone. You can find them in the Development Section of this forum.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeevan:
I don't think the OP is looking for the calendar app, but the calendar data so their appointments/meetings can be viewed on their other phone/Mac

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TKardinal:
Got my OnePlus last night and generally I love it. But I have one showstopper that I'm hoping has a fix that I just don't know about. Is there something wrong with my phone, or is there a fix, or is the problem with me that I’ve become perverted by AMOLED?

See, I use my phone to read at night before bed. Lights totally off, and the black background is just not black, it's grey. My last two phones are a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus, both of which have AMOLED screens. From what I've read, the AMOLED has a very deep black because apparently the lighting is per-pixel, so the pixel is literally not even on when black is on the screen, right?

So when I read at night, the lit pixels are a deep amber orange, and the black pixels are...black. On the OnePlus, the deep amber orange is washed out (comparatively), and the black pixels are...grey. This is pretty much indistinguishable if there's any visible light in the room, but at night with all the lights off, it’s very obvious since I’m used to the AMOLED black. This shows up in both my ebook reader, Moon+, and in Chrome and Gallery when downloading a "pure black" photo. I even use a program, Screen Filter, to dim the screen down below the lowest brightness setting, but the black background is still too bright for me. And yes, it’s there without Screen Filter.

Again from my reading on this, I seem to find that LCD screens (which the OnePlus has) light the whole screen for their backlight, so this may be pretty much inevitable. Is this accurate?

I’d post a photo, but in the kind of low light conditions I’m talking about, no photo would show that kind of contrast. At least no photo I know how to take.

PS - This does not appear to be the "yellow screen" problem I've been reading about. The colors seem consistent from top to bottom. But I'm not very good at color distinguishing.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You're just used to AMOLED displays, the blacks on those are much deeper because it's not actually lighting up when it's displaying black, it's displaying nothing at all. This is because there's no backlight, each pixel is made up of three LED's, so when it's displaying black none of those LED's are firing up. An LCD display is completely different, even when it isn't really displaying anything (black) it's being lit up by the backlight. There's nothing you can do about this.

What he said.... the OP can adjust his screen settings accordingly to emulate a "AMOLED" experience as previous phones such as N4,N5 has done this.

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] mousemeat:
Nice!

I just wish the animation was faster.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] codeknight11:
You can make it faster easily. But the animation will end earlier and you'll have a blank screen. I can loop it if you want i.e. once it ends it will play again until boot is completed.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] the_prodigal_coder:
Please do...

PS. I tried this on my xperia T2 ultra dual, but instead of going via the file explorer method I flashed it directly from recovery after renaming... the bootanimation played well enough but it wont go past "cyclops" and go into boot loop... why do you think that is ?
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] tifil:
Actually, my phone boot in only 25 or 30 sec. And your bootanimation is 1 min. So how can I make it faster ?

Because, for me, 1 min to boot is too long.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnajen:
I experienced the infamous boot loop problem on my Nexus 5. I'm running stock android, and it started after the battery was depleted overnight - and after I recharged the phone.

First I tried to to just clear the cache in Recovery Mode. It went into a long loop where every other second a flash would appear on screen with the 'No Command' screen. I decided to abort that after 30 minutes and try a Wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode.

It seems to work fine in the beginning, but after a while it begins with the same loop, where it occasionally shows the 'No Command' screen.

Seems like there is broken hardware - or do you have any ideas what the reason may be and how to amend it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rip95:
Try to reflash all stuff with google factory images and check if your problems still exist.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
What do you mean by "It seems to work fine in the beginning"? You're able to boot into the OS? Could be a faulty/broken power button which might be causing the bootloop as well.

Anyways, as mentioned above, flash the factory images to rule out the possibility of a software issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Волк:
I would recommend unlocking your bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, doing a wipe with that and then flashing a stock nandroid.

If you aren't good with adb, and you don't have an OTG cable, I would look into how to flash the factory images from Google first, then once you're all set with that do the above.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnajen:

1614787933

sorry i'm not allowed to put external links yet but this is the only way, just put it all together without spaces

for some reason it was illegal before and i made a topic asking for help to unlock SE X8 on this forum and it was deleted because its against xda rules, which in this case xda is against "illegal" things

So can anyone confirm this information and tell me if its actually legal now or it still isn't ?

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
President Obama signed it into law. In 2012 it was made illegal because they didn't renew an exemption in the DMCA, basically saying that unlocking a phone was a violation of copyright owned by the carrier that implemented the code to make it locked to their network. While the exemption was in effect, the law said basically "cell phone unlocking doesn't count" as breaking digital media copyright.

Of course, your phone still has to be compatible on the network you plan on bringing it to.
