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.
Your welcome

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.
here is a link to the thread:

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.
gesendet vom Galaxy S

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

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!

Notes about updating to latest stock FW before flashing custom ROMs
Screenshot is Vol-Down + Home in CM
The ROM comes with a Superuser app. You don't need to install another one.
When installing themes which appear to be improperly compiled, apply the default system theme and reboot and try again.
CM doesn't come with a IR Remote app.

4.3 should have this new feature called app ops? Can't find it in the settings. Also reporting that both back amd front camera work, but theres some issue with the hdr option. Enabling hdr caused camera to not connect, worked after reboot.

App ops is different than privacy guard.
Edit: I mean these settings:

Had them on my zte blade 3 4.3rom, it was nice to be able to disable certain app behaviors.

Hi. I think cm10.2 should have the display settings from cm10.1.3 such as screen temperature and mode etc that 2 really nice. And please add a hot - plugging feature to the kernel, saves loads of battery!

Hi,
yeah i agree, the only thing missing for me is the screen calibration feature! would be awesome if you could include that arco!
Thanks
// just an addition. i am half way through the day and i had to observe some massive battery drain issues. usually by this time i would have 75% battery left, but since cm10.2 its already down to 52%. better battery stats doesnt give me much, seems like the rom is just.. consuming a lot more energy.
i'll monitor the stats further but i wanted to ask, does anybody else face this problem?

No battery drain and no other problems with cm10.2
The IR also works very well.
So far, so good..
Well done Sir Arco!! THX

Reporting that FM radio also works with Spirit FM
Headphones must be plugged in as it functions as an antenna.
Settings in Spirit FM:
BAND - World 200khz (This might not be the same for you)
AUDIO - METHOD MODE (DigitalXL/ONE/S)
UI - RDS: (ON)
AF - AF MODE: RDS+Region
DEBUG - FM CHIP: (QC V4L HTC) & Motorola FW Load: (HCI)
The rest is default.

Not sure whether it's supposed to be so but tiles/toggles in notification drawer are not perfectly aligned as it used be in CM 10.1.X, so if you decide to have 6 toggles/tiles you end up seeing 5 full toggles/tiles and one half of the sixth one
Attached please find examples of 6 and 5 toggles - in both situation it does not look good.

I find this very annoying too, but I think it's a general cm10.2 "problem". I would want it to scale up or down to fit either 5 or 6 toggles, not 5.5.

I think you're supposed to swype on it, like you do on Samsung stock rom.

Hi,
Concerning battery drain, a reboot and optimizing the apps seems to have fixed the problem!

Just the screen calibration missing now.

Yes of course but in cm10.1 with the older icons they align perfectly as 6 toggles showing fully, but in cm10.2 with the new icons they don't align right, as shown in the screenshots.
With older icons:

- So if you set it to 5, you see 5...
- Set it to 6+, it shows 5.5 which also indicates to the user that they can swype to find more toggles?
- If you set it to 6+ and it only showed 5, you wouldn't know you could swype to find the extra toggles so therefore, the user may think that it just doesn't work.
- Scaling would look horrible imo, imagine if you had 10? all scaled to fit across the screen?
I think it's fine the way it is?

Wrong. You see 5 and an empty space for the 0,5 toggle which is not there (see print screen), since you have chosen to have 5 toggles. Your arguments do not hold ground since the user knows how many toggles he/she has enabled and leaving half toggle at the end of 5 toggles just looks incomplete no matter what follows .
Lets say that if someone with your reasoning would apply this same toggle layout to how photo gallery layout looks, it would mean that when viewing a picture in full screen we would see one full picture and half of the next picture :laugh:.
The point I am making is that notification toggles should have option to have certain amount of toggles whose layout is perfect with no stretching, no half-ass toggles and so on. I don't need 10 toggles to be squeezed into one line, I am fine with 5, but please let it be aligned :fingers-crossed:.

Error on change user info.
When I try to change and click on picture to change, it open and close.

So you removed some tiles for your screenshots? By default, I get the attached standard tile layout.
Fair enough though.... Hope they sort it out for you...
I like it left aligned as it shows there is more toggles to the right. Whether 5, 5.5 or 6, you still have to swype to get to the 6th+ tile.
Anyway, good luck!

I flashed dirty (format /systen, wipe cache and dalvik cache) over the last CM11 build and got bootloop....maybe it is because i switched from dalvik to art....but cm11 runs great with it...anyway, will try again with a clean install.

Developer settings is present in the device. Go to Settings-> Developer Settings to access it. Scroll down to see a list of options. But I am not sure which option will help you out.

i tried the backup from titaniun and also directly from google+ sms backup.
other than that so far i have used and it seems to be perfect ...

Looks nice, i may have to try this when i get time.
The read rectangle thingy, i remember having it when i did a -eng build instead of -userdebug, can't remember if it went away from some developer option or after flashing -userebug build. There are some options with display feedback in developer settings, didn't find this one though

Heads up motivations (peek) removal

Love the device but I can't seem to find a way to disable heads up notifications! The system UI tuner cannot be activated by holding the gear icon on the T-Mobile V20. Any help ?
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm looking for the same answer, I'd prefer a bit more granular control of my notifications as the options available aren't enough. All I'd want to do is hide the "peek" option.

Seems like you have to go to the app specifically and tap notification from there you can hide them for that app.

How did you turn on battery percent?

None of these settings are just for peek, you'd need access to the System UI Tuner for a slightly more granular adjustment. I would still want to be notified with a sound/vibration, I'd just want to hide peek which gets in the way when I'm doing other things on the phone.

Bumping because I am looking for the capability to do the same thing. For some reason they (ATT and/or LG) have blocked the System UI tuner which allows for blocking peeking notifications while keeping the sound and vibrations. Android not having a simple option to globally disable peeking is greatly annoying.
If there is no way to enable the System UI tuner is there another way to disable peeking notifications on the LG V20 while still allowing vibration/noise? Silent notifications are almost as useless as peeking/heads up notifications.

LG has. There has never to my knowledge has there been a LG device that has had it since it was introduced.

System UI Tuner is a special option, that has to be enabled (akin to Developer Options), added to Android M and above so barely any phones have it. Some carriers and manufacturers have disabled it on those that do, such as the V20.
Regardless of the System UI tuner there should be some other way on the LG V20 to disable peeking per app or globally. We are just trying to find a way on the LG V20 without also having to silence sound/vibration. There also does not seem to be an app to take care of the issue since those like HeadsOff are no longer compatible.

All you are able to do is what was linked above in the screenshot.
-Block (No notifications)
-Show silently (no sound, vibrate, or peek)
-Lock screen notifications (all, sensitive, none)
-Priority (yes/no)

Am looking for this too it's driving me nuts anyone? It was present on galaxy note 7
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app

add me to the list
this is an unbelievable situation, its driving me crazy.. i did lots of experiments and researches, still no solution, appearantly its an app based and not a general thing, i dont know why, apps and Andriod N.. Whatsapp in my case will be the exmaple
My conclusion is based on the below tests and readings:
- All my whatsapp settings are set to vibrate and/or sound, but no pop up
- Am using Novo launcher, so i thought the launcher is the problem, however, tried the default one, but still pops up
- surprisingly, Textra app, Telegram app, some other calendar apps, doesn't show a pop up peek if u disabled it from the app itself. keeping the sound and vibrate on as wanted.
- I sent to whatsapp an email, but the email they replied with was useless and didnt address the problem itself
- i tried few apps at the play store, but all of them didnt work, as non is built for Andriod N
- the only way is what mentioned in this thread, where you will block the notification alert and show it silently, and thats not what we want.
- Yes the UI Tuner is not activated and cant be activated in this device
The End result, its a problem in these specific apps with Andriod N, and its the problem from LG not activating the UI Tuner, if only there is a way to communicate with LG and force them to solve this problem.
Glad to hear others thoughts..

Dear all,
I can confirm that i was able to block the headsup using adb commands. Refer and search through the forums here at xda, few threads explained it.. Easy in 30 min done

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
You're welcome.
You should still get the ticker-like notification in the second screen.

thanks it works

Yes am still getting the ticker and thats a very useful feature in LGv20, i dont mind that as long as the headsup is disabled.

Ok now how do we get the notification to show longer in the second screen? Most my apps time out in about 2 seconds with the exception of the stock messaging app, and bluemail (both show for approx 5 seconds)...

Are you able to use Edge Lightning for ALL installed apps?

Hello everybody, I'm struggling with this problem from the day I bought my S8. The fact is: how the hell are you getting Edge Lightning works with ALL apps while screen is off? Everything is set fine in the edge lightning menu, I've tried several times, but Edge Nofitications work only while screen is ON. Also tried with Always On display, nothing. With screen off, nothing. I'm going mad since I find several users with this setting working great. Anyway can help? Thanks!
EDIT: with screen off it only works with the stock Samsung SMS app. Any other app doesn't work at all

It's never worked right for me even with stock apps. Oreo doesn't seem to fix anything even though they added new styles for it.

Same here.. but it's really incredible that some people got it fully working out of the box and some others got it broken and were never able to get it working..

No one gets it out of the box for all apps. The problem with edge lighting is that it works for apps that can turn on the screen when a notification is received (viber, messages). Whatsapp can only trigger edge lighting if U turn pop-up messages on.
So - samsung made a great app once again with VERY bad implementation. They should have let us to set edge lighting to glow instead notification light. Just to give us a pulse of light every few seconds. That would be an amazing feature!
I love edge lighting and hate samsung for crippling a great feature once again.

no, just few apps work

Yes I found that on the internet, also from a discussion on the official Samsung forum. It's really frustrating, that would have been a killer feature to me. I think they'll never solve this problem since it's about a year and two OS versions in which this feature is completely broken, Nougat and Oreo. What a shame

Samsung did not cripple any features, I found that when notifications for apps aren't set to important, edge lighting does not work for those notifications... check it out and you'll see the difference... peace ✌?

How can i do that?

With the Notification channel in Andriod O, you can only change application importance or priority level of they are optimized for it....not a lot of applications are optimized for notification channels, that why edge lightening doesn't work with certain applications....
Go to application, select the app and select notification and you'll know whether or not it has notification channels...

That simply doesn't work.. Tried with WhatsApp, it has notification channels I think, since it lets you configure every type of notification like single message, grup message etc.. and the notifications are already set with the highest priority.. But Edge Lightning doesn't work at all with screen off.

That seems really strange though... did you set your edge lightening setting to always? Try setting it to always and test WhatsApp with the screen off, because it does work for me...

Already did that.. It doesn't work at all, only with screen on

You have to activate whats app pop up it s works

Yes but that doesn't solve the problem since as soon as you unlock the screen you have the annoying popup to close. And, it isn't the way it's meant to be since it should work without workarounds with every app since there's built-in support in the edge lightning options.

Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movi soft.edgelighting

hi,
i use galaxy s9, however the edge lightning issue is the same for all new galaxy phones. i was told to submit a report via the samsung members app, still waiting for the answer.
the advertised app from the play store did work really well for some time. now however, it simply doesn't (i'm after the Pie upgrade). such a shame, cause the notification style is why i bought this phone, and it doesn't work as advertised.

The problem with edge lighting is that it needs apps to turn on the screen, and they rarely have that function since most android phones have notification lights instead of turning on the screen. For example, viber has the option to turn on the screen, hence the edge lighting works well with viber when the screen is turned off. Samsung messages do this as well. Other apps just turn on edge lighting when the screen is already on.
Samsung didn't think much about the functionality of the edge lighting feature if you ask me. Turned out to be a gimmick instead of a good feature, which sucks, because many people love it.

Yeah, I got it working through this app. There is a caviat, one color shines for all apps. That means there's no color change depending on the app that pushed a notification
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting

We really need to find a workaround for pie. I heard the app (edge lighting) isn't working on pie sadly
