I couldn't find any change log for this update.. So I need your help to make one..
This is the changes that I noticed while using my phone:
* android 6.0 known features: doze, app permission and now on tap.
* notifications toggles UI changes along with new animation.
* lock screen now display network name in the notifications bar.
* new screen off animation (transform to black and white with zoom out)
* emojis: HTC now uses stander Google emojis.(I miss HTC's emojis)
* contact sharing: you can share to contacts directly form the sharing menu (at least for telegram for now)
* notification icons are now smaller.
* adoptable storage: format SD card as internal storage.
* memory setting: new memory setting in settings.
* clear all in notifications drop down.
* new keyboard and Daimler themes.
* HTC calculator removed. Google calculator is here.(it's nicer)
* new drop down menus animation.
* HTC music fixed:while using earpiece, double tap earpiece button will skip to next song.(on lollipop this action will start a call to the last person you called for some weird reason)
* flash light is now accessible from notification toggles.
* new sound controls UI , and priority profiles.
* editing info in people app is now better.
* sweeping up any heads-up notification , will not dismiss it, it will be safe in the notification drop down.
*The "Auto Sleep" mode for the screen timeout is gone. (@adotkdotjh liked that feature)
Please feel free to add any additional changes you have found.

It uses the phone's accelerometer to detect whether it is being used or not. If the phone is moving ever so often while the screen is on, then screen does not turn off since that means the phone is being used (i.e. in your hand). No need to keep touching the screen every 30 seconds to keep the screen on. If the phone has not detected a movement for longer than a minute, then it is not being used, hence the screen turns off.
Very useful for reading long articles.

It sounds like a pretty clever feature..that never been really mentioned a lot, (unlike smart stay from Samsung, even though "Auto Sleep" sounds like a far better, more thought out solution), I wonder why they removed it.
Is there still a Phone-Keyboard with the old Layout?
Attached a Screen.
Regards
This new page:
The sounds are noticeably louder and my media has finer grained volume control now.
Notification and Ringtone volume are now linked and cannot be unlinked. What a major bummer!

The 'turn off data after long periods of inactivity' is also gone, maybe in favour of doze

Option to search apps exists in Google Search settings, also photos can still be saved to SD in camera settings
Yes but now you need to go to individual apps and change storage setting. Previously you could do it from one place

Hi everyone
Strange question but...
On such a larger screen than I'm use to.
Is there a better way to reach one handed the slide out hamburger menu in most apps?
Usually I use my thumb but it's such a stretch to get to the top corner, some apps do slide out from the side but seem inconsistent. I'm finding it very difficult.
I am rooted and was wondering any app or modification I could use to help me.
Thanks you for listening!

I had a look but I can't seem to find anything. Are you on marshmallow or nougat?
Hi man I'm on nougat.
I thought there might be a button shortcut or gestures, that could help one handed
Thanks for looking

As you are on nougat that unfortunately rules out the possibility of xposed. Could this possibly be what you are looking for?

No clue if this will help but I'm pretty sure there's not really anything you can do without xposed. Good luck

May I ask what do you need one handed for? Apps or your browser? There are one handed mode browsers if browsers are a problem.

Okay, some roms have what you might want. Basically I recommend flashing pimps rr from androidfilehost.com. In settings go to configurations then gestures then pie control and enable it. Then with pie control there will be home, back, recent and 3 dots (...) which will be the hamburger menu in any app. You can customise stuff and this should help you out.
Thanks for your reply. Mainly want it for apps, but didn't want to flash a new rom.
If I hold the nexus 6p at the bottom of the phone, my thumbs are a real stretch to the hamburger menu or slide out.
I will take a look at what you have posted cheers man
I was just thinking, maybe I could make a app for this purpose. Do you think it might be popular?

I had a look at some apps but most just seem to be to access apps and not the hamburger icon. As far as I know you would need to flash a rom with this pie control gesture or you might not be able to do it at all.
You could give LMT a try, might have an option for what you need.

Good work mate, I second you on that LMT app. I just tried it and it is a perfect pie with the hamburger feature. Good find, well done.
007 I'm a bit confused with that app, how do I add the pie feature please?
I've activated LMT with a app in the pie menu, but don't see a option for hamburger in app shortcut

Sorry, just got back to this thread. Are you still having an issue?
Don't know if any other roms have this yet, but ABC rom does.
Huawei ported their one handed mode over to AOSP(I believe this was the story).

Thanks for replys. Still trying to get this to work.
Is it possible to set the back button in a app to toggle the hamburger menu? That would be handy because instead of backing out of the app slide from left in stead.
Cheers for patience, I did use the piepointer but found it quite difficult to use sometimes.
Since I have activated immersive mode (nav bar hides itself automatically) some of the apps just don't fill up the screen. I've tried to scale them with the built-in app scaling feature but some of the system apps (PlayStore, Chrome etc.) aren't shown in the list. Do you guys know a way to scale these apps? Thanks.
You can do this in the service menu, ie set so all apps are 18:9.
---------- Post added at 21:13 ---------- Previous post was at 21:11 ----------
BTW, do you get severe battery drain when you activate immersive mode?
I get about 10% per hour of drain

Can you please explain a bit more? Where do I find the service menu and what exactly do I have to do?
And I haven't noticed any severe battery drain. I use the app all "all in one gestures" to activate immersive mode. I know some people use another method to activate it and they're having battery issue but I'm not. This app is really stable and it doesn't even need root to do all the tricks.

For H870 enter the code *#546368#*870# in the dialer to get to service menu, then SVC menu / Force long display mode, and enable it.
I'll try that app instead, thanks.

Hmm, keyboard doesn't work in immersive mode when activated by All in one gestures.
How did you solve that?

I've never used the built-in keyboard so I didn't know about that. I've always used Gboard and it works for me just fine. It's really weird that you're having an issue with the keyboard since even the developer had state that it shouldn't be any issue
I gave some more permissions in ADB for it to work.
So after giving the app extra permissions to enable keyboard I get battery drain again.
Using Gboard as well.
How did you get the keyboard working without having setting permissions via ADB? @browy

I only go to the Settings apps, then Accessibility, under Services I just have to switch All in one Gestures to on.
But everything doesn't matter now. I dropped my phone today and it's now heavily damaged . Aluminium frame is bent, screen is shattered, part of the doesn't display properly. Maybe I'll switch to the Honor 9. Man, this phone is only 3 weeks old.
For everyone who is interested in...
Best launcher out at the moment to me: Car Launcher AG
Testing at the moment togehter with CarWebGuru.
Yess, is very cool!
Is here a Thread to the Car Launcher AG?
yep very nice but contains stil a lot of bugs.
It seems that al these launchers are not designed for MTCB/D devices but for plain android devices (phones and tablets)...
To see the english version -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=altergames.carlauncher&hl=en
(I can't link that since I'm just a very newbie here.)
Not sure why I'd use this app. What is is supposed to be good for ?
Anyone found out how to use the built in music player?
Also does the auto brightness function work for you?

Issue:
Use poweramp as music player.
Set this as default player in settings, everything works (start/stop/next...) but without cover!
Set generic player and choose poweramp cover is shown, but not possible to start/stop/next...
What did i wrong?
I use latest CLAG v1.5.1 and poweramp, player settings is "universal"/generic?. At first I had to push <, > wheel controls twice to make it skip to prev/next. Then I used poweramp setting (long press on loop icon) selecting random play on *all* collection of files - since that moment it now skips to prev/next OK.
The only issue I have when first time pressing "play" in launcher - it invokes poweramp GUI, where I have to press Play again then "home" back to launcher gui. Covers are shown if available.
Pushing the < or > twice is not the problem. Will try this out
But "pause" also not working. Try to push this twice, too.
Very nice.

I'm using this on a 9" XRC MCU / PX3 unit with Android 7.1.2, the different settings on the brightness button do not seem to do anything for me, I have not found a way to make that work, although I'm not sure my unit has an ambient light sensor (I suspect it doesn't).

So, double tap not working.
Setting gerenic player with poweramp. Every button is not responding ;-(
Once, twice pressed... no matter how often. Not working.
Only in Player setting "poweramp" the buttons are responding. But then no cover ;-(

I don't use Poweramp, but from a couple years ago there were reports that the Poweramp setting for supporting the Android lockscreen needed to be checked to allow controls to work properly, might be worth trying. (FWIW controls work for me on Spotify, Castbox, etc).

Poweramp control works if in Bluetooth/headphone setting hardkeys are enabled!
Purchased this launcher and love it. However it will go back to the stock radio or music whenever I start the player/car. Even though I already set Car Launcher AG as home screen. Another problem stock radio will stop once go back to home screen. Does anyone got solution for these problems?
Thank you in advance.
Kakamal, there is an option in CL-AG settings - something like "always on top" (or similar meaning, sorry, I use it not in English) - try that.
I don’t have any problems on my mtcd unit. But have you noticed the gps speed is not accurate? It show 4-5 km/h too much compared to any other gps speed app...
Anyone now how to fix this?

Thanks ste2002 for the reply. Well.. I did set CLAG as "always on top" and as a default launcher but the problem still exist. The dev team are useless.. they don't even bother to reply to my email.
Version 2.0 soon with better functionality, vidgets, bugs sorted, new bugs to deal with ha-ha: http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FBdqm6XSgfxr%2F&e=68931690&f=http%3A%2F%2F4pda.ru%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D835814%26st%3D2600%23entry68931690
This seems to have started up recently when the screen is off and I can't quite figure out if its tied to the Google Play Services version or not. I'm on the latest beta of Google / GPS and it doesn't seem to be working on Oreo.
Curious if this has happened to anyone else?
I'm on GPS 11.9.73 and I think it ties more into that

Go to security/smart lock and see if trusted voice is in the menu. There may be an app not playing nice with smart lock. If greenify isn't set up right it can cause this issue.
It is in the menu and brings me to my screenshot from above. No Greenify or any doze/power saving changes
Edit - annnnd out of nowhere it starts working again 3 hours later

Annnnd, also out of nowhere, it's working here, too.
Interesting, too, it that the "Settings">"Smart Lock" page is no longer blank:
A lot of the setting don't seem to work for whatever reason. Like limiting background processes just..doesn't.
The only fix there is for this is to turn off smartlock by going to setting, security, and trust agents then turn it off and restart the phone then re enable the smart Lock
