[HELP] New in HTC world - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the Title says, I'm new to htc world, since I got my M9 yesterday.
my previous device was a precious I9300.
Well, as that M9 is my first HTC / Sense phone there's some stuff I can't find or don't know how to do them in HTC world.
Could one please anlighten me on how to:
1. open the menu inside apps. (the I9300 had a menu key)
2. How to make a screenshot?
3. Is there a way to "auto-hide" navbar if not needed? Somehow it's not working in some apps. putting a navbar-hide-toggle inside the navbar, for me this is no appealing way.
4. How do I get to my Lockscreen? With clock an notifications on it? ^^ When the device is sleeping, display is black. when I press power button, I'm directly back on the desktop. same when I swipe it.
5. Is there a full dark theme ?
6. How to change fonts, when not rooted? Could I somehow use my personal *.ttf file somehow?
7. Is there a Way to tune / mod the Sense 7 launcher? I would like to have horizontal scrolling and a bigger grid.
Would be great if one could enlighten a HTC noob
thx in advance

[Q] Viper x - some questions

Hi
I have installed viper x and now i have some questions:
1 I want to increase overall screen brightness. which of the sliders in the tweaks do i have to use?
2 i've set custom lockscreen apps for the sense lockscreen but they're not shown. Must the sense ui be installed to use this? I have an installation without sense ui.
3 i have selected the option "vibrate mode" for my horizontal quick settings but it is also not shown. Anyone who knows this problem?
4 can i set a volume key as trigger for the sense camera app?
Maybe some of you can help me. Thank you very much.

1) if you have set the screen brightness in settings to 100% then i don't think there is anything else you can do to make it brighter.
2) you need sense installed
3) open venom tweaks > status > Hide n Reorder
check that there is not a red X next to vibrate mode.
4) OneXed Camera Mod-V3.0

Thank you for your fast reply!
1) I don´t want to set a fix brightness, I thought I could make the auto-brightness a little bit higher by changing one or some values in the tweaks-screen i have attached as picture. Is that possible?
2) ok, can I add sense ui by installing the rom again without wiping the phone? Will I loose all my settings then?
3) there is no red x, I´ve already checked that. But something funny happened: I checked it again, marked it red, unmarked it, changed the order of the settings and now it is there. But now the Wifi-Hotspot-Setting is not shown (the last and 7th setting in my list). Maybe I can´t set more than 6 settings?
4)Thank you, I will try that one.
And one thing i have forgotten before:
5) Can I download new custom font packs anywhere? Or better, can I create own font packs from a TTF and how does it work?

1) venom tweaks > Misc > auto backlight brightness.
2) if you install without a full wipe it should all be saved.
3) icons are on a scroll, just swipe from right to left on the tweak icons.
4) welcome
5) you can from venom hub, i believe ADW icons are also compatible. i dont know about TTF, sure someone on here knows.

Android font types are Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono and Droid Serif
If u rename your TTF with these names it should work

1) Yes, there I found the screen I hab attached. But what now? Increase all the sliders a little bit?
2) That led into a bootloop again, don´t know why. But now I know how to handle that :laugh: . I will do a full re-install with sense ui next days.
3) Ok, i found it. Thanks for that
4) Works perfectly :good: !
5) There are only 10 fonts. I can´t find a possibility to download or add more. If there is none, I will use the app "font changer". That works, but some fonts aren´t changed then...

I have a new question about Viper X:
I always have Google Maps in my battery-statistics consuming a lot of power even if i didn´t use it. A friend told me that somtimes Maps makes trouble when it is installed as a system-app. So when I did the new installation of Viper X I didn´t install Maps as system. I loaded it from Play Store and switched Latitude off. But its still there.
Anyone who knows about it?

[Q] animation problem with my HTC one X

hello there,
i've got HTC one x about 2 days ago, i think it's a v. good phone but now i have a problem
the phone had a very cool cube animation when you move between tabs as fingers are moved across the tabs ... for example in apps like "phone" you have (phone - people - favorite .. etc)... i used to have a cube animation while moving between those tabs ...
once i updated the software (which i didnt know it would change the phone like that), this animation is completely gone and it just shows a black box with the name of the tab on it ... how can i bring this animation back ?
one other thing, scrolling the home screen now goes forever, i mean when you scroll to the very last screen on the right, it jumps after that to the screen on the far left and goes looping like that .... how can i disable that feature and make it as it was
hope my questions are quite clear ...
Thanks
For cube animation: with the latest relase of android and htc sense, cube animation was off, but if you want, you can flash ViperX because the dev have added this option
For second question: Do you talk about infinite scrolling?
If yes, you can disable it, always, with ViperX rom.
With stock rom you can't disable infinite scrolling and activate cube animation
Flash a custom Rom matey

[Q] Disable Power Menu & Change Theme Multitasking

Hi everyone, I'm new of this forum but I'm following this forum since I change my iPhone 4s for the amazing Note 2.
I tried to search for informations but any thread seems to be helpful.
I've installed Android Revolution HD (which is in my opinion the best ROM I tried) with Perseus Kernel, then I started to modify the look of most the interface, in order to make the ROM look similar to Aosp-based ones without losing all TW funcionalities but extending them.
Here's my questions:
1) As I insert 4-way reboot, sound toggle, airplane mode with other toggle in extended status bar, I removed all options from power menu. Can I disable it? I downloaded "Buttonremapper" but I don't wanna lose the ability to press Lock button for screen locking. Do you have a solution?
2) Is there any theme for multitasking selector (not multiwindow, I've already changed that) with bottom buttons more close to "Nexus feel" and, if possible, even without the "No recent app" text? (I've searched on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924905 but I couldn't find anything).
Thank you all in advance!!

[Q] Help: Android M8 Viperone

Hello,
I am new to Android. Have a HTC One M8 with Viperone Rom. I have moved from iPhone.
I have done some thorough research but sometimes can't find a straight answer. I hope you guys can help give me some guidance. Some questions may be totally ridiculous so excuse my ignorance.
Questions about Lock Screen:
1. How can I modify lock screen? I would like something similar to iOS.
2. There are lock screen launchers on the app store, is there other alternatives? App store launchers feels like add-ons to stock lock screen - doesn't feel smooth nor secure.
3. Access notification panel on lock screen? Even without entering pass code?
4. Better music controls like iOS?
Questions about Home Screen:
1. How to modify launcher? Any home screens that mimic windows phone 8 live tiles?
2. Can I get Google Now Launcher for Viperone Rom?
3. Can I enable/disable widgets to save on battery life?
4. Is there a way of replacing blinkfeed with google now or an entire full screen app such as faceboook or flipboard?
Questions about Notification Panel:
1. Any iOS-like notification panel?
2. Control Center like panel with unified music controls?
Questions about Battery Life:
1. My battery life is very bad. 3 hours with screen on over a whole day period - See attached. Is that normal?
2. What is the most common GPU Governor? I had mine on ONDEMAND but now moved to conservate. Makes a difference with battery life?
Questions about Viperone and Sense:
1. Is there multi-tasking dual app function?
2. I don't see any sound enhancer option?
3. No switch for changing from 4G to 3G to 2G mobile radio?
4. Activator like function?
5. Can I disable Google Now switch up home button function? Sometimes it's really sensitive and buggy?
Sorry for the numerous questions! But if anyone can answer them all for me it will be greatly appreciated!!
Regards,
RollZ
Lockscreen:
You can change it to the AOSP lockscreen in the Viper tweaks and see if you like that (look under the lockscreen section)
I believe you can already access the notification bar while one the lockscreen unless changed in viper tweaks
Homescreen:
To have a windows tiled homescreen you can try Launcher 8
Google Now Launcher Cant download from the play store and have to download the apk, and install and keep it updated yourself....
You can remove The blinkfeed page but i do not believe you can replace it... Not to my knowledge
To disable widgets just delete it off the homescreen ... hold widget and drag to top
Notification Panels:
There aren't many ways to change the notification panel. But you can look in the Viper Tweaks and change what you want in there.
Music controls can be used on the lockscreen and notification panel, other than that Not quite sure
Battery
My phone usually lasts 24-48 hrs with texting and social things. be sure to use the power saver setting under battery in the settings. It helps a bit
I'd leave all that alone and stock. 1ghz cpu and ondemand govener. This phone is powerful and doesn't require 2ghz
Other:
I dont believe there is any one sense for dual app things... maybe someone else can come by and answer that
There are no music enhancements on the htc one m8 its just whats already there (I may get corrected) But I use power amp to tune my music how i want it. The audio is nice on this phone already. If you need a music enhancer check out Harman/Kardon mod Make sure you are S-off to avoid problems... S-off ing doesnt take that much experience and it self explanatory! Its good to have !
Not sure why you would want to be switching... but you can turn off LTE by going to setting and clicking on Mobile Data (not the on/off switch) and network mode and changing it that way or go into Venom Tweaks and the misc options and click phone info and there is a pop down menu with a bunch of options
Activator?
Not sure if you can switch the home button but you can go into Settings>apps>All and click Google Search and hit disable and if you ever want it back just go back to it and hit enable
I hope i help a little ! Have a nice night!
Hello,
Thanks for your answers bilbox...but that stuff I already know.
But more technical stuff.
Tried AOSP lock screen from viper tweaks...its okay but don't see a camera shortcut like it should be.
notification panel I find can only be access if ur phone is within the time period set by the auto lock.
Notification panel tweaks are still very limited - and doesn't look as nice as iOS. No blurred translucency? and control center access with unified music controls? Some easy access widgets would be nice.
Launcher 8 I know but haven't tried...dunno how comprehensively good it is at mimics all features of home screen.
Widgets I know how to remove but is there a way to temporoarily disable for saving ram and battery?
Also can u have unlimited home pages? If no blinkfeed mod replacement that would be awesome mod request idea! Wouldn't it be great to swipe to have instant Facebook/messaging?
Probs have no choice but to tone down CPU settings for stupid battery.
How bout tweaks for auto switching mobile signal off while WiFi is on. I have a basic tasker set up but tasker says it has can't control certain settings aspect unless "rooted" which I Am!
Anyone can help answer other queries I have would be fantastic!

Perhaps for your lockscreen try an app like widget locker...Lot of customization there once you get the right widgets. You could use Zooper or UCCW to create your own widgets as well.
There are good amount of notification panel tweaks in Venom Tweaks. That combined with Statusbar themes in the Hub should give you all the customization you would need.
What exactly do you think disabling widgets would save for battery life/ram? Probably better off looking into what is draining your battery so fast if that is an issue. Use an app like Better Battery Stats and as far as ram goes the phone has plenty so really no need to worry about it. Android itself actually does a pretty good job managing resources.
If you setup wifi and leave it on it should auto switch between mobile data/wifi when within or out of range. Leaving wifi on should not drain battery to much if properly configured.
You can not have unlimited home screens. I believe the limit in Viper is 5 and that can be increased to 7 using the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module.
Notification pulldown tweaks aren't applying
I realize this is kind of an old thread.
I just installed ViperOne (6.2.0) on my HTC One M7 (AT&T). Android v. 4.4.2, Sense v. 6.0. I know this thread is for M8, but I doubt this would be an issue.
I've messed with the tweaks quite a bit and pretty much have everything the way I want, except for the notification pulldown screen. It has the weather and HEQS. I don't want these here.
I have Googled, read the User Guide on the Venom website, restarted the status bar on the phone, restarted the phone (quick and full), but I cannot hide the weather or HEQS. I tried the suggestions on the User Guide to make the notification area look more like stock.
Am I missing something? I very well could be.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello,
I don't have weather nor HEQS on my notification pull down.
Under venon tweaks > status bar, I have HEQS Style set to original and the Hide/Show Quick settings/Quick Launch set to Off. If you scroll futher down to the Notification pull down tweaks section, click weather and click hide, to hide the weather.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Homescreen
Dear friends, I just locked the workspace of homescreen. How do I unlock it? Searched and tried everything. Can't move anything on homescreen. Please help!!
