Tazz Froyo FAQ section
Just a few screenies. The home screen here is using Launcher Pro Plus (available in the market)
Whats this music app in here? It looks "different".
-Thats the MIUI music app. Tazz has graciously replaced the stock music apk with this as it is a bit snappier and nicer to use. It has auto d/l of album art, and lyrics. It has all the functionality of the stock music app as well as the lock screen controls and bt playback controls. Thanks Tazz.
Problems? (odd behavior, FC's, etc)
-Wipe, flash, reboot, then see if you still have problems.
-99% of the problems posted are because of a bad install. Wipe x3 and flash. If there are bugs reboot. If the problems continue re-dload and try again. Do this b4 reporting bugs, it will fix most unknown problems.
Wheres my Gmail, Market, and other google apps?
They are not there because you didnt read the install instructions good enough to see the part about having to flash the google apps after the rom because devs cannot package google apps in a cyanogen based rom legally, so go back, download them, and flash them on. Current version has gapps included with ROM.
Why is my display percentage of use so high in battery usage stats?
This is exactly what you want. Keep in mind this is percentage of battery use, not percentage of the whole day. Basically think of it like this. If your phone has been unplugged for 4 hrs and you have been doing stuff with your phone 70% of all your battery usage for 4hrs has been to light the display. The problem would come if 70% went to cell tower roaming/wifi/camera/other apps. That would mean they are constantly running in the background draining your battery. The display only uses battery when lit. The percentage is high only because all the other things are running effeciently thus making the time the display is on the high peice of the pie.You also don't need to set the display too low to save battery. Around 40% should be fine for good battery life.
MMS problems (should work in current version)
-There are two ways to try and fix this if for some reason you cannot send/recieve mms.
1.Download APN backup and restore from the market, crank the app up one time and make a backup so it will create the folder you will need on your sdcard, download the file at the end of this line, unzip it and put the APN into the APN backup folder on your sd card, click "delete APNs" and then "Restore APNs" and choose the working apn. apns-Ivans.zip
2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7177591&postcount=3015
Do I need Setcpu on this ROM
No, you don't need it. Feel free to use it to crank your speed up. It is overclocked to 710mhz out of the box. Many have found this to be more than satisfactory speed without using Setcpu at all.
What are the recommended settings for Setcpu
-Temp > 42.1C 528max 245min priority: 100
-Screen Off 528max 160min priority: 94
-Charging/ Full: 768max/min
-Battery < 100% 245min 768max
No in-browser Flash support
-known issue. YouTube works.
Camera app doesn't workCamera works great in current version.
-Known bug. Some success using "Camera Magic" from the Market
Barcode scanner not workingWorks in current version.
-Related to Camera not working
Says it does not recognize my sdcard
-This is due to your sdcard being partitioned more than likely. You can either format the entire card on a pc to fat32 or use recovery to unpartition. FROYO not recognize the ext partitions on your card. A2sd on FROYO stores all the apps in the same partition as everything else, just in a separate folder that it creates on its own.
-Boot to recovery.
-partition sdcard.
-0 swap
-0 ext2 for apps2sd.
-this will make one whole fat32 partition. (YOU WILL LOOSE ANY DATA ON CARD AS IT WILL BE FORMATED SO BACK UP YOUR CARD FIRST!)
Very laggy after installing ROM
- Give it a few minutes. It is syncing a ton of information from your contacts, calendars, and settings to the google appsync which will reload all your market apps that google indexed if you are coming from one FROYO ROM to another. It works great and gets you phone pretty close to where you last were if you leave it alone for a bit and let it get caught up. It only happens on the first boot anyway.
Trackball not flashing for notifications
- This was fixed in V5.In work still.
MetaMorph themes
-Yes metamorph themes do work with this ROM. Any cm6 theme should work without complications and some cm5 themes will also. The framework.apk (which changes the notification bar and dropdown as well as wallpaper) is the most common part to work well w all mods.
Heres a few that we know work.

Unresponsive Google setup screen. Thanks Busphan Should not be an issue in current version.
Two steps.
-The first is: if unresponsive and showing no 3G signal wait a few minutes for the 3G to show then proceed with setup.
-Second: if unresponsive and showing 3G signal bypass setup by touching all four corners of the screen starting with the top left and going clockwise. At the bottom touch the screen just above the language and emergency call buttons.
-After bypassing the setup screen either manually add Google account through account and sync, or if the option isn't there reboot into recovery and flash Google apps again then reboot. Setup screen should work.
What is dalvik cache and what does it do?
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7457011&postcount=1067"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7457011&postcount=1067[/URL]
I want to remove ADW
-This flashable zip will remove ADW from the rom. ADW bgone
Can't get dialer to press 2 when doing *228
-either dial *22899, or dial *228, then long-press menu to bring up the keyboard
Notification bar sometimes hides
-ADW thing. Slide your finger up to hide, slide up again to show. Can disable in ADW settings.
Apps launch in background on boot
-That's because that's how Android works. It starts all the apps and keeps them sorta resident to allow you to start them faster. If they need to exit, then Android will kill them. Thats why task-killers are generally not such a good idea. They screw with the design of Android's application process control.
Live Wallpapers FC
-LWP must be the correct size for the Eris screen
-Many of the ones in the market work fine. Processor intensive or ones made for nexus will not work or bog the phone down.
Will sense Apps/Widgets work on this ROM?
-Nope. No sense widgets. This is a "non-sense" ROM. There are some sense-like widgets that you can get though.
-Try pure widgets (Pure messenger, pure calendar, pure music)
-Try Beautiful Widgets for clock/weather
Suggested CyanogenMod Settings
-use compcache (I leave it unchecked, don't see significant performance enhancement from this)
-use Jit checked off (no significant performance enhancement seen w Jit on)
-enable surface dithering (I don't personally use it as I don't feel the difference in appearance in a non HD device is not noticeable)
-vm heap size to 24mb
How can I uninstall system apps (DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THESE AS MANY OF THEM ARE INTERDEPENDENT AND YOUR PHONE MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY IF YOU REMOVE A PROGRAM THAT SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED)
-Titanium backup will uninstall a lot
-root explorer (can set containing folder to r/w and delete apk file)
-adw interface commands to remove files (Google it)

Downloading now. I can't wait to check this out. Tazz, your stuff is alway good. I will report back with my experience later.

Might I suggest adding "CM6" or "Froyo" or "2.2" or similar to the title ?
Is the Google Apps package updated ? If not, I'll use the one I just downloaded 1-2 days ago.

--Introduce Your Milestone 2--

Dear Milestone 2 community,
I noticed that we're a rather lazy community. Barely sharing experiences, eagerly waiting for the first ROM to come out. Maybe it is due to our community is not yet the biggest but I still think we are privileged with our fine device.
Coming from the Xperia X1, we had a thread where we'd post our homescreen custimization. The result was new ideas and lots of eye candy. I hope you play along in this thread and give a fine description (WITH SCREENSHOTS) what your home screen looks like.
FYI: Snapping screenshots is not the easiest thing on a android. However - when you rooted your phone (what I assume have most of us done) you search the market for the app called "Shoot Me" and you just gotta shake your phone to have it copied in a folder on your SD Card etc.
Here I go:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Description: Screenshot is a modified Xperia X1 Wallpaper. Someone ove at the X1 forums made it. Starting the Preview 1 on the left, I have a widget to cover my data amount and a notebook for some notes. Going right I have a big widget that keeps me up to date with missed calls, sms and emails. It's called Executive Assistant. Going right there I have a picture frame (somethign called big picture or so...), weather on dirty paper and a toggle widget.
Preview 2: Some of my fav apps sorted on the left. Going right you see my favourite contacts in animated circles. The right picture shows me simple lockscreen with some snow flakes falling forcasting my local weather (animated as well...). Shoot Me is not so good in capturing animated things...anyway, it serves our purpose...
Hope you like the idea of the thread!

What app did you use to change the lockscreen?
I'm still using the stock one...
Sent from my Brazilian Milestone 2 using XDA App
Edit (on PC): Now adding my screenshots......can't post links so: hxxp
I use ADW Launcher with a mix of two themes: Black Glass (some icons) and BuuF (wallpaper). Which is one option to Blur Homescreen.
Screen 1: Internet tethering apps EasyTether (for Ubuntu) and PdaNet (for Windows), 3G Watchdog widget, Gesture Search and Alarm Clock Plus (I use DockAwake to make it default).
Screen 2: I keep all my toggles in one page.
Basic Toggles on the top.
Extended Controls Toggles: Air Plane Mode, USB and Led Flashlight
DCSwitch: the best app to enable/disable 3G data connection.
Volume Ace Pro: Control all kinds of sound your phone makes. And profiles on Pro version.
Root Explorer: Explore all your filesystem
Market Enabler: For not american phones, access to US Android Market
Screen 3 (default) : Some stock apps.
Fring: Multiple accounts messenger like Ebbudy.
AppBrain: Reinstalled all my apps after messing up with Milestone Overclock app
Overclock: 1.25GHz @ 62 vsel, by the way wich config do you use?
Screen Filter: Configs the screen light in a better way.
Atlantida: Regional radio station app
Screen 4 : My music players, XDA, Dropbox, Calculator, Messages, Titanium Backup and Metal Detector (Uses the magnetic sensor, that is used to open the dock station app too)
Screen 5 : Rarely used apps
Led Disco and Led Tester are nice to play with the RGB notification led
Rom Manager: I was able to install Apex Rom 1.3.1 for Droid 2 without problems, but with no cellphone connection since models have a different antenna. I have a nandroid of it.
ConnectBot: use to connect via SSH to my iPod 3G.
Well that's it. Uff...
Edit: added images, are they too big? I don't know how make them smaller...

Yours looks great. I am still waiting for a root method to be available for my phone and i can join the modding fun.

@dangpzanco
The lockscreen is called "WidgetLocker" but it cost the one or other dollar.

No, Temp doesn't work either. I don't want to jack this thread though, I posted in the "Root" thread.

I'm new with Milestone 2 and fighting with the blur.
When i finish choosing my launcher, remove the blur i'll post my shots too!

Thank You dangpzanco. I hope you don't mind - I put up your screens so its easily accessible for everyone.
I have not over or underclocked my cpu yet. I'd probably rather downclock it to save battery. But I prefer to leave it alone, haha. Some questions: what is fring for, what app brain (like backing up with Titanium Backup?). MarketEnable seems like a nice things - are there plenty more apps then? And what is Dropbox for? Moreover you seem to use a lot of player

Fring: login to MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM. All unified. It was quite famous on Nokia S60 Symbian phones, I had a Nokia E51
AppBrain: Manage all your apps (update, install, unninstall, regional/custom search, BACKUP online but only the list not the apk)
Titanium Backup: local backup, freeze system apps to semi-deblur (pro version)....
MarketEnabler: more apps than brazilian app store.
Dropbox: 2Gb free online storage, I use to transfer apps from pc to phone.
Music Players: I was trying to find a FLAC Player for my Beatles collection, only the AMPlayer does it, but it's not a good one.
PS: overclock is safe, just don't forget to uncheck the "autoload on boot" when testing clocks. If you don't, phone will bootloop. In theory you just have to take the sd card out (find out this after reflashing old nandroid).

Hello,
I'm a new user of android and looking forwards to introducing my milestone 2, only just rooted it today, so will start customising soon, will probably try titanium backup to freeze what I can of blur and widgetlocker looks interesting, is the live wallpaper lock screen (can't think of any other way to describe it) integral to widgetlocker?
Thanks for your help.
P.S. tried to post the steps I took to root my phone using z4root but my post count is too low!

What App do you have in the middle picture of preview 2. The round contacts really looks nice!

I using:
ADW Launcher EX
ADW Theme Digital Soul
simi Clock
Switch Pro widgets
and
Flickie Wallpappers

@BladeMaestor
The "live lock screen" is my normal "WidgetLocker" lockscreen. Moreover I have this program called "Weather & Toggle" and there is an additional app to get animated forecasts. When it snows, snow flakes come down the lockscreen, when the sun is shining, a sunbeam will welcome you back to your device.
@Blo234
It's called "Animated Widget Contact Launch". I recommend you to try it out. It's really cool.
But folks, how about posting some screenshots of your devices? Would really look forward to see your homescreens and so on!
edit:
@Blady-jack
this looks decent, I like it! Is that a live wallpaper in the background? You really kept it simple and lots of eye-candy! Thanks for sharing!

Is there any possible way to capture screen without root and connecting to computer?

[ROM] Lotus v1.0 *Matte Sense, AppFolders, PowerWidgets,More*

Lotus v1.0 (4/9/2011)
Introducing Lotus ROM. Anyone who has used my ROMs for the Incredible knows that my focus is on full featured, stable, smooth and (I hope) visually appealing ROMs that can be your every day driver. It is my sincere hope that this ROM will make your Thunderbolt more convenient and fun to use. Please note that this is just an initial release. I plan to optimize and re-engineer all of the apks in the ROM and add many more speed/graphics/feature tweaks. If you want this to be faster now, may I recommend flashing Ziggy's beta T-bolt kernel? The thing flies on this ROM .

Matte Sense UI; "shiny" elements from the UI have been matted for a smoother, more refined appearance;
App drawer button moved to center and mapped to modded/themed version of Maxim's AppFolders, which allows users to fully customize their app drawer;
Right button mapped to browser (more maps to come);
Power widgets in notification pulldown, themed to fit with look of ROM, plus JSChiSurf's PowerControlSettings app;
Hidden location & ADB icons, percentage battery meter, Smooth Sense (animated) icons and working 6-bar signal indicator in statusbar;
3-in-1 power menu, with reboot, hot restart, etc;
Rmk's patched superuser;
Other UI mods, including dialer, custom skinned Friendstream, News and Twitter widgets, transparent background for lock screen, Roise launcher bar, clock, settings & profile widgets & more;
Zipalign and SD Card speed fix on boot;
Apps generally considered bloatware removed;
Working Hulu add-on;
Ability to uninstall many apps (including the HTC skins) via app manager, and many more (e.g. Friendstream, Twitter, etc.) via Gscripts that are pushed to your Sd Card during flash;
Much more...
Known Issues
4g toggle in power widgets not working (yet).
Skins are NOT compatible with this ROM yet (the buttons are messed up). Will be fixed for version 1.1.
Icons can switch around when adding shortcut to home via AppFolders (hot restart fixes this), see post #62 for stock app drawer version of Rosie that does not do this and post #64 for an AppFolders version that will not do this.
Contact info on in-call screen off center. Patch in post #63.
Probably haven't matted EVERY element of the UI yet...

You flash this ROM at your own risk, and neither I, as developer, nor are any of the individuals listed under "Thanks and Credits", above, are responsible for any consequences that may attend the flashing of this ROM. I have tested this ROM (Lotus v1.0) and found it to be stable during my own use, but this is an early release and has not been extensively tested by multiple users. Accordingly, by flashing this ROM, you are essentially a beta tester.

Been waiting for this... Love the matte Sense look. Thanks sk806.

Dloading, backing up and trying out this Rom, That matte finish looks very very nice.

That is rather funny...I must have put an extra "o" in strings.xml when I was modding Rosie. Will fix.
Although, I kinda like "Phoneo"...

looks like a nice rom I"ll have to try it later on... the one mod I truly have found I can't do without is the 4x5 desktop... it just makes the larger screen look less empty... only rom I have found that uses this is perfect storm...
and since you remapped the rosie by moving the phone and app drawer does this mean that my current theme (distINCtion) will have the wrong icons placed over the phone and drawer?

Anyway to remove the 6 bar signal thing. It seems like on every rom I try that has that, my signal randomly drops to 0 and comes right back.

glad to see this steve! =) good job

All that does is indicate signal strength, it has no effect on how much you get.
LOL

Right, but for some reason when I have that on, the signal will drop randomly to 0 and in like 1 second come back up. When im on the stock 4 bar indicator, this doesn't happen.
Also, when you make a phone call, the text of the contact name is slightly to the right. Can anyone confirm? I can attach screenshot in a bit

this is weird, the buttons on the dock bar randomly switched when clicked the home button. Now the phone icon is in the middle (offcentered) and the apply drawer is on the left again

Patch Fix for Graphical Glitches
Hi all, I plan to make a small patch fix for the "phoneo" and contact text on in-call screen issues, as well as the Rosie icons switching around (which is really weird, but I know why its happening know). Please keep reporting anything else so I can include it.
Will release the patch either late tonight or in the morning. Thanks again.

PA? Whats the hype?

Ok so I prefer AOKP, sometimes CM if an official final release ever comes out. I've been sniffing about at the Paranoid Android ROM some. I'd like some feedback on what the special deal is that brings everyone over to it.
I'm aware of the ability to change the DPI and color of each individual apps which sounds nice if you are into that - but what other things draw people to it besides that? If it's just that it has AOKP and CM features along with the dpi/app color stuff then I'd just prefer to stick with AOKP. Is there anything else?
How's the battery life with the included kernel? Are other kernels better to go with?

The kernels pretty much a stock Google kernel ... I prefer to use other kernels like trinity and faux but the ROM is nice .
Although I'm a big fan of Steve's aokp
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

if you like aokp and are thinking of switching roms try codefirex if you havent. it has some form of all aokp features but its super optimized with the latest linaro and google optimizations and you can tell the difference over aokp/cm. im not a fan of PA because i think its just too customizable and is overwhelming because i would be so worried about getting everything "just right." i like most of the stock feel and a good amount of customization but to pick a color and density and ui mode for every app is just too much for me. the rom ends up feeling clunky and just wrong, but many people like it, but it sounds like its not your thing either

Where is the thread for codefirex? .. Does it have the bionic optimisations ?

Here's another good explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37767038&postcount=1825

I am a tinker. So thats what PA gives me.
I change shyte all day, everyday. Then I add Franco Kernel. I get to tinker with that also.
if all you want is vanilla, stay with what ya got. If you want Everything your way. Then BK this mofo and install PA.
Its only daunting at first. Once you understand where the settings are you are all good.
Truthfully, if you are installing a Custom rom, I can't personally understand why you would install any else.

we get this a lot. but its wrong. many people have mixed it up with "tablet mode" before and build.prop system dpi nonsense. none of this stuff applies. theres nothing getting smaller unless you want it small, seperate from the UI you choose ofc. in fact pa is sometimes used by the elderly with bad eye sight, since you can make apps big as well. not that this is pa's premise, but just for reference.
usually people who havent tried hybrid engine have no clue what it is - for me personally its androids most important modification, because i know what it can do. i doubt theres anything in the rom scene that comes close to it in complexity and practicability. and the latter point is important. its not a toy. it makes a phone better in so many productive ways, far beyond anything you can achieve through typical customization.
its one of many unique features btw,
here's another,

}
if youre a gamer you'll love pie. all features we make are meant for actual use of the phone, not just fooling around with 2-3 quick access settings a couple of seconds every day, although we have it as well.

One of the best things pa did was ditch cm as their base.
Its refreshing to see the nexus ROM scene as a whole seems to pulling away from all the cm10 and aokp based / kanged Roms.
Nothing wrong with those roms if that's your thing. Others like close to aosp with some tweaks. Not let's toss in every single thing we can think off.

Yea I LOVE pie ... I'll give you that

I have tried PA a few times but each time I've been surprised by the LACK of of customization features. I can easily find the hybrid engine settings and edit the hell out of them but I don't find it useful at all. I'm not sure if I've just missed or if they really just don't exist.
Here's a list of some great small AOKP features that I couldn't find in PA. I would be happy if someone more familiar with PA could confirm if they exist or not.
- Clock position (center/right/dont show)
- Clock color
- Navbar & Statusbar opacity
- Kill-all button on recents menu
- Option to hide the hints of left and right widgets when opening lockscreen
- Volume music controls (long press to next/prev)
- Allow all widgets in lockscreen
- Navbar longpress actions
- LED notification customization (has to be in ROM, not a buggy 3rd party app)
- Less frequent notification sounds
I can live without one or two of these functions but since I couldn't find any of them in PA I just had to uninstall it after a few minutes.

anyway. most of this stuff, thats toys. how often did i screw around with silly quick options today? 2 seconds maybe. i switched on bluetooth. meanwhile i've actually used my phone, written mails in the best email client possible. i've talked to people via the best gtalk client possible. i've set settings in the best settings app possible. an entire market with thousands of apps is simply not accessible to you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/tablet_featured you're locked out.
the fact is, youre using apps that were made to run on pocket watches. the sdk is years old and does not reflect contemporary technology anymore. your nexus4 was simply left behind. it falls back to 360p, which was used on the tiny htc wildfire xx years ago. keep in mind, 360p is WAY too small for your n4, but since the sdk is so old the next margin is 600p, you reach it almost but not quite, so back to 360. and with that you sift through unbelievable clumsy, unintuitive non-optimized apps. not to mention things like PIE, per app color, per app expanded dektop, the only rom on android that has a flawless tabletUI and a flawless phabletUI - and who knows what. i dont count anymore.

Thanks molesarecoming, I really need to give it another try. Clearly I just couldn't find the proper place for the settings.

I didn't realize I could use tablet apps. Out of curiosity what is the best email and gtalk client you are referring to, in your opinion?
Thanks for everyone's input on my original question..

the same gmail and the same gtalk thats installed on your phone. the problem is, yours looks like this: http://www.abload.de/img/2013-01-04-15.02g2z5f.jpg
mine looks like this: http://www.abload.de/img/n4-product-heroe5z5zbaj5a.jpg
that means i can actually see who writes me and switch back and forth. im not locked into one puny view.

as you see, your apps are crippled beyond repair. thats how they look on my pocket watch.
that gtalk screenshot shows tablet mode all around but again, its separate, it doesnt matter, can be anything you want. same as for stuff being small, one tap and its bigger (last screenshot shows you the controls, slider controls size, dropdownbox lets you pick the UI). my gmail for instance displays in the exact same fontsize as in phoneUI. since nex4 is technically close to a tablet it can pull it off beautifully.
same holds true for tablet apps. most of these wouldnt even run on your phone, but do on mine. apps, thats what you are actually using and interacting with, 99% of the time you use your phone. here's where i see potential for customization. the last 1% where i wanna quicktoggle bluetooth is important, too - but thats fairly standard. every rom has it.

I can't justify using PA myself to be fair.
While my girlfriend though PIE was cool, I find it slow and a poor alternative to the notification bar outside of looking cool, so found myself not using it except to show off. When I actually wanted to do stuff with my phone, the on screen buttons were much faster coupled with the notification bar.
All the DPI stuff I tried, then set back to default. The colours everyone is raving about, I absolutely hate, and I simply cannot live without holding the home button to turn off the screen lol. I don't know why but using the power button or a quick toggle on the notification bar is just so 1980.
Aside from those things, and in all fairness, there is nothing really wrong with PA I just always go back to AOKP as it really does seem more customisable than PA when you take away useless DPI editing which adds nothing to the experience of using a phone.

Enhancements Suggestions

What do you wish for your HTC One? tell the world and the developers, what should be improved.
for example:
1. I wish the lock-screen was more beneficial, to see more notifications (like from Gmail App and Viber) + quick launch of google now from the lock
2. Quick Settings toggle (kinda solved thru mods)
3. Automatic screen wake up on certain notifications
any other ideas? please share

I think it would be nice for them to add a couple of fresh animations in there, such as when you press the App Drawer icon that animation is absolutely awful, and a bit laggy too! I think it's the one Google used in stock Gingerbread. It would be nice to see them add themes back, for example Sense 2-4 all had themes that you could set and it just added to that personalization of the device.
I think the 'Power Saver' in the scroll down Menu should be moved into the 'Power Saving' menu and you should be able to select a certain battery percent that it comes on at. It would be nice to have a quick settings in a way that HTC used to have them, though I am certain we shall see that in the near future as Android 4.2 has these.
One thing I loved about the iPhone, was the ability to save what you have copied to the clipboard after restarting the device. I'd love to see this implemented onto the One.
Also, the way you add Shortcuts to the homescreen is just terrible. You should NOT have to go to the widget add Menu.

Thank you so much for your input very interesting points. I guess many people like to choose themes and be able to personalize their HTC One, the way they like. It's a matter of taste and personal choice really.
Other thing i noticed about android or HTC One compared to iphone is auto vido conversion when i send a video clip thru WhatsApp. i wanted to send a short video to my friend and whatsApp couldn't do that because the file was over 12 MB. iOS coverts the video automatically! That's another tiny annoying thing i found about the HTC.
I think there is much room for improvement to make this device the best handset ever!
If anyone else has ideas, please post

Your right, this handset is easily the most beautiful android one ever created, along with the HTC Magic and in my opinion, also the Hero.

I completely agree about waking the screen for certain notifications especially text messages and calendar alerts. The chompsms app will light up the screen for text messages but I haven't found a solution for calendar alerts.
This is something I really miss coming from ios. I have to say ios is actually better in the way it handles notifications in allowing you to select what appears in the lock screen and having a centralised notification centre where you can change settings for all your notifications.

Yes! iOS handles lock-screen notifications way better! there is an App called LockerPro Lockscreen. It's clean and it solves this problem but it interferes with the display time settings these things should be solved out of the box but luckily we have really great enthusiastic developers here on XDA who love to create custom ROMS and mods to make our life easier and even prettier
I hope some of these developers will read this thread and maybe will release new mods and fixes

My wishes:
- when i look on power it should show display (battery) usage like on vanilla android
- better idle comsumption
- folder should take more then 16 apps

Thanks four the input. Interesting stuff. If you are into custom ROMS and mods. I strongly suggest you try out TrickDroid from troxx. one of the tweaks there, which you can apply. is to increase the max icons in the folder up to 25.
the customs ROM has so many other cool tweaks and minor UI enhancement.

1. I missed so much USB mass storage mod on my SGS3 last year fortunately there was some 3rd party apk, but it wont work on HTC Ones internal storage so please make some UMS mod most people will be glad I think
2. definitely 60fps videos improvement. After i saw most of the 60fps videos on youtube I was so dissapointed. Im talking about both slow motion and fast 60fps videos in year 2013!!! even SGS3 was able to handle 60fps slow motion better after SW mods than One with such a powerfull HW and 240p? HTC are you serious? this will be cool to have them at least @720p THX santa
3. ofcourse some mods on camera photos too
4. if its even possible to camera interface...whats one of the most used function? Exposure! I saw how long took the photographer to adjust exposure for one photo! Look at the last years samsung GS3 camera interface. 4 in words FOUR customisable shortcuts...thats cool and I wish something like that on HTC not Zoe which wont be used most times...where is brain and logic only ads and marketing I see in HTC One SW BTW Im waiting for One so do not blame me for trolling as its the most popular word last month after One was unveiled LoL

1. Long press back for menu
2. Customisable/user added content for blinkfeed i.e importing of google reader feeds
3. Scrollable wallpaper
4. Hide power bar from pull down menu (this does not work on my sim free phone)
5. Pull down toggles for wifi etc as per android 4.2.2
6. Change font size on blink feed articles
7. Sort blinkfeed by content type

Ya.. Blinkfeed should be improved! sadly there is no mods for it yet.. but for the most other stuff you mentioned you can try the mods on the Android Development page.. try TrickDroid! they have this cool toggle mod which looks very native and nice. i hope HTC will improve some of these stuff soon with next firmware update.

I don't have the device yet, but from what I've seen with the custom ROMs on here, I would like to see:
1. Various camera tweaks, such as enforcing a set bit rate for videos and audio, having photos set at 100% quality (ie, minimal jpeg compression), and using volume buttons as a shutter.
2. Add more flexibility to Zoes, such as increasng the length of the videos recorded, having the ability to change video resolution, and enforcing a set picture quality.
3. Make Prism (Sense 5's launcher) more like Sense 4's Rosie. Things such as a scrollable wallpaper, the 3D rendered home screen transitions, the normal way of adding app shortcuts, landscape mode support, and a horizonally scrolling app drawer were nice in my opinion. Also, a 5x6 app drawer and stock jelly bean transitons when returning from an app would be great too.
4. Having the ability to choose and apply themes just like in previous Sense versions.
5. BlinkFeed customizations: having custom feeds, having the ability to remove BlinkFeed from Prism, making BlinkFeed a widget, content sorting by type.
6. Android 4.2 quick settings or Sense 4 quick settings.
7. Adding an additonal lockscreen that has the ability to add widgets.
8. Choosing whatever combination of button presses does what (ex: double-tap home for either menu, recent apps, search, custom app, etc., long-press home for menu, recent apps, search, custom app, etc., you get where I'm going.)
9. Customizable 3-finger gestures.
The following is also something a bit more nit picky, since I've been spoiled with the Venom ROM on my Sensation:
>Setting custom backgrounds for the pulldown notification screen and app drawer.
>Status bar themes.
>App icon packs for the stock launcher.
>A sub-setting/app that bundles all possible customizations under one interface.

wow..that is one one hell of a list for someone who doesn't even own the device lol but yeah. Zoe needs some flexibility indeed. It sucks that i can't convert the video to a smaller size! and somehow the whole Zoe Highlight video thing is hidden. It took me some time to figure out, that is under events! some of your wishes has been already resolved. there are many EQS mods now and they are getting better!
anyway, most of what you have mentioned, should have been resolved by HTC and gave us a better out-of-box experience!

No interest yet in rooting as I want to keep my warranty but in the future you never know.

ya well. i was hesitant at the beginning too but then i decided to take the risk. the whole warranty issue is still under debate. There are some legitimate claims, that rooting doesn't necessarily void the warranty. It\s different anyway from country to another.
for me, i want be able to do whatever i want with my device. When i buy PC. then i can install any OS i please and have access to everything. If someone over-clocks his CPU and fries it. then i undersand the warranty is voided, but just because i root my device and install some mod to enhance my settings menu. then logically and even maybe legally, HTC has no right to punish me like this.. in all cases, i really don't care

I want to try custom ROMs later and ATM my phone is on the way to repair. My blinkfeed freezes after each boot. I couldn't repair that.
If you want more visual effects, you will loose the smoothness.

I just decided to get a One because I heard you cannot install apps to Micro SD, so I'd rather have 32GB internal than 16GB of the GS4, also though looking at the OLED screen, the thing has black clipping issues in pre release form anyways. I watch a lot of video when walking the dog like F1 live stream and I really don't want headphones, so the speakers help.
One thing I hate is Blinkfeed, I really wanna be able to turn it off, I wouldn't mind it if I could customize it so the phone functions like Windows Phone, I really love live tiles. The problem is you cannot do much with it and you cannot turn it off, it almost ruins the phone for me, I don't see why it needs to be there.
I don't use social features like Facebook, I hate that crap and I don't want any news, I just use Websites for that....... just such a pointless feature. I also think the gallery is ****, don't see why I need to have my friends photos pop up, I just want mine thanx.
Cannot wait till Cyanogenmod or something comes out for it, I don't get some design choices HTC have made.

You may not be able to turn it off but I'm fairly sure you can set a different screen as your home screen, effectively hiding it

A 5 inch display
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe a 5" edge to edge display with on-screen Android soft-keys? Threw this together to show what it might look like. But seriously, it doesn't really add much; this phone is already pretty perfect the way it is! I'm sure I can get used to the two button capacitive navigation controls. I can't wait to get mine!
