Pretty cool little find.
Note: you have to triple tap really fast or it may not happen.
Not saying what happens as to avoid spoilers.

There is more then 1 screen there to get too

Lol, guys this has been around since Gingerbread. Nothing new.

Cool to know!! Honestly can't believe I wasn't aware of this sooner, I just assumed it was because of the cross promotion with KitKat. Proud to say that I continue to learn new stuff about Android on the daily even after using it for as long as humanly possible

Cool thing I discovered

I was playing with the phone and I stumbled across something. This might be something that everyone knew about and I didn't. When you hold down the little dots that change screens, all 5 screens show up on the bottom as little cards and you can tap whichever one want to go to.
this is older than old.... but thanks anyway

That's an oldie, but keep your fingers & eyes open for more...

This and voice to text are my favorite features. I discover new **** everyday, so keep searching an sharing. Maybe this should be the Favorite features thread.
I love the live wallpapers, even though I only run them when I show it off, they are sooo cool.

Ok, I'm taking bets on when the Hero will be moved over to the legacy devices.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I give it 2 months tops.

Ok, dammit! Enough of this crazy talk. I'm keeping the hero for a few more months (at least), and I don't want to hear any more rumors of it's demise!

The G1 still has its own form! I think as long as cm supports the hero then there will be a decent community. Might not be as active, but people are here. If we can get that new .35 kernel working 100% (I'd say its about 90-95% there) then the hero will last quite a while. There is nothing magical about the .35 kernel except that is brings up closer to what all the "cool" devices are running.
Personally I don't see myself upgrading. I don't want to pay the $10 extra sprint charges now (yes $10 is much better than AT&T/Verizon's tiered plans!!) However although a 3VO is cool, thats all it is. My hero running nightlys and overclocked does everything I could want (except smooth angry birds ).

A are you able to customize the weather lock screen at all?? I go to settings then choose my apps hit apply but no go. But when I choose any other lock screen it all my selected icons are there. So wondering if you customized your at all??

I swapped out the icons on my weather lockscreen no problem.
***Edit***What I can't do, is get my red XDA icon to show up I'll have to reopen the .apk tomorrow and see where the icon is hiding for this phone, but it's clearly not where I'm used to finding it. I changed it fine, resigned the .apk no problem and got it to install......but with the same ugly brown icon.
You're right Shel. Last time I check, there was over 7000 registered nightly hero's. So it'll be here for a while.

Nah, I haven't even tried. Those four are sufficient. Everything else is set up like I had on my hero, other than the goofy ass dock we have to use now. Considering switching back over to LP+.

Yeah, RS guy updated it while I was looking at cases. Still, it seems the one you do for Watch improved my battery a bit. Jury is still out on that, though.

A lot of ol' Hero users have been going over to the 3VO. I, on the other hand, have been debating whether or not to go the 'Sensation 4G' route.

Sigh

Have we lost all dev support for the Shift?
Not "all" but it looks like the majority of developers have moved on to newer phones.

It makes me want to start but I am pretty sure I need to wipe my laptop because I can't even get ADB working, I know a little and would like to at least start porting
I still have a year before my contract is up, 6 months before I can upgrade so I am holding onto this shift till the keyboard falls off
even with most of the devs gone theres still alot of good roms to choose from, thats my view on it. it was a good run and im still using the shift.

Very true, it's just depressing to not see any new ROMs after a couple weeks... I still love my Shift but I like to have new toys to play with every once and a while
Yeah we were seeing like one every week or so for a while there . Or at least an Update weekly. But it just means things have slowed a bit till the new crop of Devs comes along .

Android Easter Egg

This is off topic, but I couldn't help but share. Our little Android's have a little secret they're hiding. I've flashed multiple ROMs and this trick still works. It's nothing much, but interesting none the less.
Press your menu key>settings>about phone
Now find 'android version' and click it repetitively and quickly. I'll just let you guys figure out the secret.

Pretty sure it's a Jelly Bean easter egg, not just 4.2. Also, Cyanogen modded the easter egg in CM10 to be little cyanogen guys too.
You can get some pretty nice artwork on Decks Reloaded when you do the Easter Egg

HTC One Android 4.2 Official Update Confirmed Once Again

Better true this time The wait has been too long.... Can't wait....
The HTC One Android 4.2 official update has once again been confirmed by the company without a specific release time frame being provided. Earlier this month we reported that HTC Russia had confirmed availability of Android 4.2.2 for HTC One in mid-June, but the update itself is yet to drop. Recently Three UK, one of the carrier partners across the pond that offers HTC’s latest flagship, recently replied to a customer’s query on Twitter revealing that HTC had “just pulled” the 4.2.2 release. This indicates that a June launch of this update was definitely on the cards, with Engadget reporting that HTC has confirmed to them that the update is indeed coming soon, but customers might have to wait a bit longer. HTC One ships with Android 4.1 pre-installed, whereas its main rival the Galaxy S4 ships with Android 4.2. Some features expected in the HTC One Android 4.2 official update have already been detailed, but the company itself hasn’t confirmed exactly what improvements this update will bring. Like everyone else, we’ll keep waiting patiently for this update, and will let you know as soon as it drops.... Read more at: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/06/htc-one-android-4-2-official-update/

Does it really matter? I mean, the M7 is already set up better than the S4 with its 4.2 config... I honestly don't think it needs anything at all in terms of added software features, just some finishing touches (and softkey related updates to everyone who is still waiting for it).

Pull down native notification for wireless toggle, etc and the most important home button can set as menu. :good:

Yea, I suppose both of those are good things. Even though you can get to the wireless/wifi toggles one click from pull down menu... or one touch on a toggle bar from home screen. the home button menu could be good? not sure what other menus are needed...
(Jags, what? I'm not complaining about updating... who doesn't like new things for free?)

The home Menu button are meant to remove and replace the 3 dot black bar.

I don't have any of these issues... my home button brings up the apps drawer if I hit it in default screen, and brings up the search function if I hold it down... thanks to Nova launcher, which is free. It almost looks vanilla in my config except with black bars being transparent, and the app drawer half transparent, and nicer hand-picked icons with no text on homescreen
Just wish they release the goddamn kernel source. I swear someday I will leave my beloved HTC for the plastic, just for better developement, if this kind of delay persists.

people like you, all you do is want want want and nothing else. release the kernel source faster for better development? or for your selfish wants.
ever thought about others? them working for free just for your selfish needs.
why dont u do something good with the kernel source instead of throwing all the work to other people then leech on it like a damn parasite and moan when it's updated slower than other masterpieces
and then says stuff like "oh im gonna jump to plastic if my selfish need isnt fulfilled"

i think we deserve the kernel source asap don't you think? i payed premium price for this device running android (the most open source phone OS) so i could get all the benefits of open source policy
the fact that HTC always slacks on sources is gross

everybody pays a premium for gadgets. not just a phone alone.
and it's already performing currently, there's no need to rush things.
good things come to those who wait.
if everything u paid for deserves to be updated quickly because "it costs like a premium item" , then you're wrong.
it's like saying i paid a premium for my ac router, i deserve faster firmware updates to speed the damn thing up
and they have no obligations to comply with the open source license. only google does that.
nowadays with all the patent ****storms, nobody really cared about open source anymore. they want everything to themselves

HTC generally is pretty fast, sometimes a few weeks slower than samsung, sometimes a few weeks faster with updates. I installed the 4.2.2 update but immediately I noticed my bottom speaker started popping and the animation in the pull down menu was jittery and when opening the app drawer I first saw a grid of 4x2 icons before showing my 5x4 grid. These were just the bugs I noticed in the first minutes of installing. HTC were right in pulling that update. JB 4.2 itself doesn' t offer a lot either for phones. The one thing I really want from 4.2 is the fix for the msm_hsic_host suspend bug, but most people seem to be unaffected by this wakelock anyway.

With 4.2.2 on the ONE 2013 Flagship phone, everything AWESOME. As Samsung S4 come preloaded. Just that the smartphone battle has becoming more tough. At least HTC can speed up a little bit :fingers-crossed:
Most importantly for me is the 3 dot black menu bar remove and pull down notification wireless etc toggle menu.

My wife owns the s4 and trust me, I wish they would have taken more time working out the bugs. She's Constantly complaining about little things not working, and I'm always having to clear cache on apps, rebooting her phone and what not to fix it.
My htc one runs 100x more stable than her s4 despite being rooted rommed and s off

Yeah I got rid of the s4 for this. That phone was laggy as hell. And I had custom kernels and roms on it. This was faster then that off the bat. And even with cpu powersave on it is still faster haha.
