I just updated from rooted stock MDL to rooted stock MF9 this week. Everything is running great. But I noticed one difference in the stock Gallery app I'm not happy about. In MDL, when I brought up the gallery app from the camera app (by touching the pictures in the upper left corner of the camera app), I would have a trash can in the title bar so I could do an immediate delete. Now I have what looks like the AllShare icon, the third one from the right:
View attachment 2221916
The new button seems to do nothing. Gives me a list of devices that I can attach to, but only lists "device". Does anyone else see this behavior? And, more importantly, can someone tell me how to get the trash can/delete button back?

Yeah not sure why they did that either. You can hit settings button and delete to delete it. Or you can tap it to show the film strip at the bottom and then long press on the picture to get the delete icon, but only for that instance. In short, although I haven't look into it myself, there doesn't appear to be a quick way of adding the button so settings and delete is the way to go.
Yea I wish they would put the allshare in the settings instead of the trash button.
Delete button is there in landscape view.

Yep, if you go straight to the stock Gallery app, it is there. But if you go it view the pictures while in the camera mode, as I described above, it does not show up. You have to go into the menu button routine to delete it. I'm not sure if that's actually the gallery app or not. I guess not since the behavior is slightly different.

I found a way to take sreenshots with the built in method.
You have to press home button and then quickly hit the back button.
And voila you have your Screenshot. They are stored in /sdcard/sreencapture.
Don't you mean hold the back key then quickly press the home button?
Been using that since last year on the leaked froyo roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yea you are right its easier. I just didnt knew it before. Its easier than using shoot me.
This will only work if you have ScreenCaptureService.apk in system/app
A lot of custom roms do not have it.
/qsec
Hold Back key Then Press Home key
Isn't it the opposite?
Holding the Back Button, then pressing the Home button?
At least that's how it works on my SGS...
Edit: I was replying to OP
I have also been using this feature since JPY (or maybe earlier) but has anyone noticed some applications action the "back" while holding the back button, so you get a screenshot of the wrong screen! Pretty irritating.... for an example, try to take a screenshot while viewing an image in gallery application - you'll get a capture of the folder you came from and not the image you're looking at. Anyone know how to get around this? *shrugs*
Im using jvk and.. hold back button plus hit home button works great.. makes a cool camera noise and everything... thanks guys...

i also got same problem with some apps when i press and hold back button they go on back screen
i am using screen shot it it works well and i can take sceenshot of almost any page
Holding back button and pressing home works like a charm thnx!
edit: exept when i try to take screenshot of a screen other then my homescreen. (it jumps back to home screen when i push the button)
How do i prevent going back to the homescreen?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! No, seriously, WOW! Best built-in feature. Babai Shootme. You were great! :$
It is old thing...Was somebody put thread in our forum about it, some months ago...
Regards
^^Yep. Quite old.
For the people facing problems with the screens changing, try opening a menu in the screen you want a screenshot of. The menu will go back to the original screen and a screen shot will be taken.

flash news: It's something known since froyo appeared
Sadly still doesn't work for me... when I'm in the app list an try to take scrrenshot it goes back to homescreen and takes screenshot of that. When I open a menu in the app list it stays there when I take screenshot... think I'll have to go and get an app for this..
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-one-ten-frequently-asked-questions
1. Do I have to use BlinkFeed? Can I uninstall it?
You absolutely do not have to use it if you don't want to. Just don't add any feeds to it, and it won't do anything. You might be able to hack it out of there, but we wouldn't bother. Just thumb over to the home screen and pretend that BlinkFeed never happened.
(Though we'd recommend giving it a shot. It's not bad.)
2. Wait - there's only one home screen? Can I add more?
Sure! By default there's only one. (Most people don't use more than that anyway.) But you can add as many as five home screen panels. Get to the "Customize home screen" section -- either from the "Personalize" section of the settings or by long-pressing a blank area on a home screen -- and then hit the "add panel" button.
You can then choose which home screen panel to set as the default when you hit the home button, or you can remove unwanted panels.
3. That app drawer seems a little funny. What's up with it?
First off, you're probably not used to seeing a clock and weather widget stuck to the top of the app drawer. But there it is. Start thumbing down and it'll disappear. The next odd thing is that apps are in a large, 3-by-4 configuration. (It'll look like 3-by-3 until you scroll down and get the clock widget to disappear.)
Also: Folders! Just below the clock widget is a line of icons. On the far left is the app drawer view -- you have "Custom," "Alphabetical" or "Most recent." When in custom view, you can drop apps on one another to create folders. If something obvious appears to be missing, change to alphabetical view and find it that way. Also note that if an app is docked at the bottom of the screen, it won't appear in the app drawer.
This all takes a little getting used to.
4. What does the HTC button on the bottom of the phone do?
Not a damn thing, because it's just a logo. Not a button.
5. So how do I get to the list of recent apps? (aka multitasking)
Double-tap the home button and you'll get a 3-by-3 grid of apps that are open. To close an app, just flick it upward with your finger.
6. And what about Google Now?
Hold down the home button on the HTC One to get to Google Now.
7. I miss that iconic HTC clock widget. Can I get it back?
Yep! It's available as a home screen widget. It looks like you have to have the new, sleek widget everywhere else, though.
8. Is there a notification light?
Sure is. It's hidden in the bottom row, on the third hole from the left, in the top speaker.
9. Can I customize the lock screen?
Just like in previous versions of Sense, you can choose whether to have a wallpaper displayed, a "productivity" scheme with notifications and calendar reminders, a photo album view or music player, or you can opt to go with no lock screen at all.
The application shortcuts are slaved to whatever apps you have docked to the bottom of the screens.
10. Are the speakers that good?
For a smartphone, yeah. They're about as good as anything we've used. You'll need to have Beats Audio turned on (and it is by default) to get the full effect. It's not that it'll replace a proper external speaker, but neither will you be embarrassed to play audio out of your phone.

So, do you (or anyone) by any chance know if the place where the HTC logo located is a "touch screen" area but it's just not mapped to do anything? Or, is it literally not part of the capacitive touch area?
If it is part of the capacitive area, then, do you think it would be possible to somehow configure the area where the logo is located to do something (like multi task)?
this should be a sticky. it will probably stop the creation of unnecessary threads
The HTC logo is nothing more then a logo unfortunately.

Ask some moderators to do it, please.
I already did it, but nobody replied to me.
For me a good info for blinkfeed was:
if you unset blinkfeed as default homescreen, then you cant go to top by pressing any buttons.
Just hit the statusbar and blinktfeed jumps to top.

changing quick link icons??
This is a very helpful thread, thank you for that!
I have a question I could not find an answer for, but maybe I am simply too stupid. I am a proud owner of an HTC One since Friday and though this is my fourth HTC device with Sense UI, I am seriously struggling with the four quick launch icons on the bottom (i.e. Phone, SMS, Internet, Camera). On all previous devices I could easily change these icons through drag and drop, but this new beauty is resisting that. I can neither drag a new icon in there, nor can I drag one out, thus deleting it from the list.
I can rearrange them, though...
Anybody and smart ideas?

Did you try doing it while on the 'normal' homescreen? (Not the BlinkFeed one, but the other one)
Yes, tried it all, walked through all the menues as well, no chance. You can drag the icons onto a home screen, but that will copy them, not move them. And if you try to drag an icon from the home screen to the icon bar on the bottom, once you long-press an icon, the icon bar disappears... weird...

no, there is not. You need to flip each tile (app) away to close it.
Either way, swiping away each tile does nothing. You haven't actually killed the program. The only thing it will do is soothe your OCD.
Hi All,
I DID search and I'm pretty sure this worked on the SGS3 4G but I can't seem to find the option to send pictures straight from the gallery. When I click the share button I get about 12 options (mostly stuff I couldn't care less about) including MMS but nothing to send via email.
Am I missing something or is there something wrong here? I've cleared data and cache for the gallery and restarted but there's nothing there.
TIA
EDIT: Sorry, never mind, found the problem. Got to be in the overview where multiple are displayed. Once I'm viewing just one picture email is missing from the share list....
See my attatched pic. This is what options I have. It seems strange you do not have email options. I have 2, the Gmail one and the Samsung one.
Try scrolling because I have another 4 options if I scroll.
I have 17 options once I open/view a single picture (where I can now zoom in and out) and press the share button. When when I'm in the view that shows multiple pictures and I long press one of the pictures them same share button gives me 19 options. Gmail and Mail to NOT show up the other way.
Is this different for you?
Mine shows up both ways. Single select or multi select.

What a mess...just to clarify: You press Gallery, you press the camera folder, you press one single image and you are now viewing just that one image. Now if you press the 'share' button you get gmail and email???

I discovered these merely by accident and never knew about them before so others may find them useful too!
1. Press the multitasking button (square) to see your thumbnails of running apps. Now tap and hold on anyone of them to get straight to the app info page where you can do things like alter the notifications, check the storage and battery use etc .
2. Using the keyboard with word prediction, you are given a list of words to choose from right above the keyboard. If there is a word you don't like, don't use, spelled incorrectly or accidentally added to the custom dictionary, you can stop it from appearing again. Just tap and hold on the word you want to remove from the custom dictionary and a pop up window will show - confirming your decision.
Hope these help.

Ok , lets take 2 gestures
Open gallery you will find on top 2 tabs one is album and other is photos tab on photos you will find photos classfied according to date
Then if you slide down there with your finger you will enter to camera.
Another one in camera if you slide up you enter gallery.
Try.
Also in the Gallery app, go to Photos tab and you will see 4 columns of photos. Do a reverse pinch to zoom gesture and you will now see tiny thumbnails in 9 columns. Tap and hold one one of these super tiny thumbnails and you will see a small zoomed image of it and you can drag your finger all over the screen (maintaining pressure) to see more zoomed images as your finger passes over them.
Finally when viewing an image full screen, reverse pinch to zoom to get to horizontal scroll mode to quickly navigate to other photos.

How to natively add notification badge to gmail and twitter , facebook ... etc

So far Oreo is a noticeable improvement in battery and lag. But... Something has changed when using Instagram. The home touch buttons are now too closely overlayed over the Instagram buttons. They're literally on top of each other down there at the very bottom of the phone, With each button ust slightly to the left of each other. The result is that you're constantly hitting the wrong button, no room at all for error.
As a remedy I installed the XDA gestures app but that has a new slide bar that sits right in the center of the screen when using Whatsapp so that you cant see what you're typing. I have to tilt the phone in landscape to get the bar out of the text input box. Any suggestions?
I experience the same issue in both vanilla instagram and GBinsta.
Another issue is that Google Assistant is also right in top of the LG home touch buttons so that it blocks me using the screen capture/screenshot button. I have to do the fingerprint button+volume button thing. Otherwise the related searches pull up results take up half the screen so I cant screen capture. Google must really want us to buy Pixel phone...
What models are yall using? I'm on H918 Oreo using the small display size and my instagram works just fine.
I don't use Instagram all that much but I just went to check out this issue.
The thing that I noticed right off the bat was that if you have the "Home Touch Buttons" set to hide then when you use Instagram they will almost completely overlap when dragged up.
Solution: Use the little square dot in the bottom left corner (tap to change the state) to keep the Home Touch Buttons from hiding. They will nicely reside under the Instagram app and not be overlapped. When done with Instagram just tap the square to go back to the hidden state.
Hopefully this will be of use to you.
