I tried to find an answer on the forums, but haven't been able to.
What is the purpose of com.htc.provider?
In TasKiller, a lot of the time it's yellow (meaning actively running from what I read in the TasKiller FAQ), although other times it's acting as a background service (italicized and faded gray text).
Should it be running a lot of the time?
Thanks!
Hey, i just uninstalled com.htc and now the phone wont work haha i am now assuming it is vital for the phone to function
Holy thread resurrection... yeah, com.htc.provider is necessary.

BTW somebody know what that process really does?
I think it's something to do with backend for the web browser and internet connectivity.
Well I Have A Little Idea, I Have Had A Few Friends That Have Gotten Their Phone Stolen, So The Normal Thief Would Turn It On And Wipe The Phone Through The Settings, My Idea Is Taking Off The Wipe Option In The Settings. Now We All Know Those Apps That Help Find Your Phone, Actually Work. But Most Of Us Between Switching Roms, Forget To Install It. So By The Time Some One Is Searching How To Wipe The Phone, We Can Download The App From The Market Webpage And Find Our Phone, Maybe It'd Be Possible To Disguise The Wipe Option In The Recovery Menu? I Don't Know If It's Possible (I'm Sure It Is) Or If I'm The Only One That Is Wanting This.. Let Me Know Any Ideas Or If There Is A Developer That'd Be Able To Help With This
I think it'd be possible to remove the menu option in the recovery by modifying the source but you'd want to enable some sort of combination of keypresses or some script to be able to wipe when you actually need/want to wipe it
Not Sure If Trolling Or Just Stupid...

Hmm, I Actually Like That, I Was Thinking Maybe Disguising The Name, But Actually Using A Script Might Be Nice.

Short Answer: OCD And A Bad Habbit.
Long Answer: I Had A Few Thousand Songs That I Wanted To Look Right In My iPod A Few Years Ago, I Did Them All In One Day, And It Stuck.. It's Harder And Takes More Time For Me To Not Use The Shift Key Lol
I think the average thief maybe would wipe, but he will not use the recovery for that, because he won't know what it is.
If he should know, he will surely just flash back a stock ROM before selling the phone. You won't be able to do anything against that.
If there is only a "normal thief", you could do it another way: You would need an app, that is flashed into the system partition, is working completely stealthy in the background and has all it's configs in the system-partition (maybe for installing and editing the settings there could be a user app with root-access).
If the thief then just wipes the phone, i.e. from within the Android-menu, this app will stay and work. He would have to flash a new ROM to get rid of it.

Hmm So Basically Just Add The App Into The Rom Like Any System App, Ok That Sounds Good Too Lol, And The Only Reason I Know About The Recovery Menu Thing Is Because, If There Is A Password Then Usually Some People Google How To Wipe The Phone If They "Forgot" Their Password.
Cerebrus in rom manager does exactly this, no? Once flashed it runs completely in the background and no way of knowing its there or get rid of it outside of cwm.

Lmao Yeah, It Sucks When I Have To Do Essays For School Though -_-
Google Now: NO Voice reply or Picture showing up work around.
This is for anyone who cannot get a voice to reply for anything in Google Now (that includes weather), and also for people who cant get a picture for Google Now cards. The reason for why voice does not work is because the languages are mixed in settings. I used to have Google Now as English Canada, but voice as English US. Unfortunately, I cannot use English Canada, so I had to set them all to English US.
This is how I did it:
1. Go into System settings > Language and Input
2. Make sure Language is set to English (US)
3. Make sure Google voice typing is checked and set to Automatic
4. Click on Voice Search underneath SPEECH. Make sure Language is set to English (US) and Speech Output is set to always speak
5. Go into Text-to-speech output. Click on the Google Text-to.. settings icon. Language should be set to English US.
6. Test voice by going into Google Now and asking it the weather. It should reply! Note: For weather, the voice always replies, which is why you should test weather.
7. Click Thanks if this helped
Picture not showing up for cards: This is pretty easy.
1. Go into Google Now
2. Click on Settings>Privacy and Accounts> and check off "Search on google.com"
3. Test it by asking a question that has a picture. For example: "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" The picture should now show up.
4. Click Thanks if this helped
Any questions, just Private Message me. ^.^ or post in the thread.
PS. This workaround worked for me, on CM10 v8 Alpha Preview by FE with the Gapps from OP and Devil 1.0.4 Test3 JB kernel. Also, for pictures, one other user reported that he did not get the "search on google.com" option. Please test it out and tell me if it works, THANK YOU! Also, click thanks if I helped ;D
Feedback please? Does it work? Yes, no? Click "Thanks" if it helped?
tested it, still no pic shown
Thats strange. It works 100% for me on any ROM. If I go into Google Now > Settings > Privacy and accounts > Check "Search on google.com" (bottom blurb says "Using www.google.com instead of your local domain (www.google.ca), the picture shows up perfectly. If I uncheck that, no picture shows up. Im sorry if im unable to help, but thats how I managed to get it working. I really dont know why its not working for you, sorry. :/
Mine doesn't have the option to search Google etc in privacy, however I am able to get pics.
Followed steps and speak back feature works great!

I've implemented these changes myself and I still had some issues sadly ^^
Mostly with voice recognition. But thank you for the contribution!
bro, its working now, finally figured it out where those stuff is located, its working like charm now, but without cards.
I think you may need to use them a bit more. I always get cards. And I think it also depends what you ask it Weather should always have a card. (99% sure)

Hmm, I know this sounds stupid, but is your volume at max? It didnt work for me once because my volume was down lol. Major fail on my part.
Also, could you tell me your settings on Voice in Google Now settings?
It should be Language: Default - English(US), Speech Output: Always Speak. (The other two are block offensive words and Hotword detection which are both checked, but they shouldnt make a difference either way)
Other settings to be aware of are:
-Make sure profiles is off (some profiles might have silent activated)
-Settings>Language and Input>Language, English (US)
Unfortunately, Im not on the same rom as you are right now, (Im on RemICS - JB) so we have some different settings in the Language and Input part, but I'll make a backup and flash PA 360 and try to make google now voice stop working to see what settings are stopping yours. I apologize for this thread of not being much help to you. If you manage to get it working before I can find which settings are messing it up, then kudos to you, and please share your new findings so I can update the thread. Really, I dont know why half the community has it working and the other half doesnt.

This needs to be stickied.
I also bricked my phone on Wednesday when I selected this option, but I was only partially sure that it was to blame. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Motorola this morning, and went from a guy who barely spoke English up to a guy who was very-clearly in the USA, and they confirmed the issue and opened a bug ticket. Don't expect a fix anytime soon.
DO NOT ENABLE THIS FEATURE!

RTL is Right to Left.
Basically the option flips all things on android... so in the settings, as it reads from left to right, "wifi - on" the setting is reversed "on - wifi" sort of a setting meant for lefties.. or just those that like toggles on the left side instead of right.

I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious.
RTL is meant to make the whole phone more convenient for lefties. Your homescreen goes from being the leftmost screen to the rightmost.
Wait, no, it's actually meant to completely **** up all our devices. Yeah, that's it.

No, I do not think so.
Never used this feature nor am i on 5.1 but just tossin my 2 cents. What about using a OTG cable and connect a mouse to it? Not sure to what extent the phone is usable but when my aunt dropped my phome (not even a month old ooooooo i was furious. This is why i dont let people touch my phone. Luckly phone was too new and no refurbs out so they sent me a new one lol) but the digitizer and screen were cracked broken and bleeding. I was going to to fastboot since phone was stuck in camera mode for usb for helium back and no syncing programs setup yet but i tossed on my otg cable and plugged in a mouse and changed usb features, backed up apps to google drive the change usb mode and copied all my files off.
Hope that works for ya

I wish that would have fixed it, the system is responsive but 'System UI' crashes and there is 0 way to get out of it or access the system after that point. When you power on the phone you don't even make it to the lock screen it just dies.

My comment isn't relevant to this post but I just wanted to clear up the misconception about RTL. It isn't for lefties (I'm a lefty, it makes no difference to us), it's for languages that go from right to left, like Arabic. English, French, Spanish etc. go from left to right.

I really don't have a dog in this fight but heres where I got my info from, "While most of us are used to left-to-right text, menus, and whatnot, there are certainly users who’d prefer their smartphone or tablet to have right-to-left layouts. Of course, if your device’s system language is one that uses a right-to-left script (like Arabic, or Hebrew), the change from LTR to RTL is done automatically. However, Android allows you to force RTL layouts even when using a left-to-right language. "
Source - PhoneArena
So I'm not saying no or disagreeing, just saying that from that article, apparently RTL languages, once set in the settings automatically switch. I'll start source linking all my info from now on.
I'm using Firefox as my web browser and I use the following add-ons: Bluhell Firewall, Full Screen, and uBlock Origin. Every once in awhile, maybe twice a day my browser would open up without my permission and alert me that my battery has a virus and it insists that I download whatever its trying to redirect me to install to "fix" the problem. I tried using CM security and Avast, both dont detect any malware and I dont visit any suspicious looking websites where this may have gotten picked up from. Maybe I downloaded some APKs I wasnt suppose to if anything. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I did mention previously I have ublock origin for an addon, are you suggestion to get adblock plus on top of it? I just didnt want to have two things conflict with each other or install more than necessary. (if you think I should drop the ublock in favor of it then ok)
If its not against the rules may I please have a link to a guide on rooting my phone? This is my first Android phone I've ever owned and I dont know the procedures in rooting. I've done jailbreaking on iPhones but I'm sure this is different.

w = that advert you are complaining about.
