Hey, another question...
Is there a way to get the Nexus One's animation for opening programs on the Desire?
Installing the Launcher2.apk unfortunately didn't do it. Maybe there's another version of it with the animations?
Or is there any other way to do it?

Not before root access has been released
And when/if root access is possible, how will it be done, then?

well i don't know for sure but probably just changing a file in the root file system
Thanks. I hope somebody can figure it out.
You'd have to flash a new bootscreen, not hard, needs root.
No, I don't mean the bootscreen. I mean the animation when opening apps from the home screen.
I read somewhere that its currently exclusive to the nexus one 2.1 but it will be as standard in froyo. Maybe we'll have to wait til froyo is out (unless you want to root)
It's available on the Motorola Droid as well.

Wow, didn't know that! If the droid has it, we should have it too!
We definitely should have it. It's soo nice, I miss it since I exchanged the Nexus for a Desire.
You are NOT talking about the bootscreen are you? You mean that when you open an app, it 'fades in' and 'fades out'? (like on the iPhone?)
From what I know, but then again may be removed from the Desire, you must go to options, screen options and somewhere in these options there is a 'animation' option.
Please see this vid and around 3:30, he shows how to turn on that 'animation'.
Now I do not know if this is what you are talking about, but even if it is not, could somebody please tell me if this option is also present on the Desire?

Yes, that option is present, but only activates the screen transitions inside of apps, but not the launch animation. On the Nexus and Droid, it activates ALL animations.
It seems HTC have taken those animations out. I really don't understand why, and I want them back.

NOEZ!
I can't believe this... slowly there are more and more things that make me be unsure about the Desire. First the battery life, second the bad sound volume and now I hear that the awesome 'launch' fade-in and out a la iPhone animation is not present.
Could somebody tell me if this can be changed after rooting the Desire? Which btw, is something like 'jailbreaking' your iPhone right? Is it hard to root a device running Android like the Desire?
Battery life is quite good, about the same as the HD2 I had before. I also have no complaints about the sound volume, don't know what people are talking about.
Only complaints I have are the missing animations and the limited internal storage (since it still can't be rooted).
I'm really happy with the device apart from that. It's so much nicer with Android, than the HD2 was.

Jailbreaking = Technically Illegal
Rooting = Enabling the root account on a linux system (aka Administrator).
It should be available in "Spare Parts" after rooting.

No, it is NOT illegal. It's merely a breach of the EULA; which has bugger all to do with legalities. The worst that can happen is that you invalidate your warranty by "jailbreaking". (I hate that term as well, it's merely CID and SIM unlocking, something we've being doing on XDA for years, but nooooo.... Apple users just HAVE to have their own word for it, as if they invented the whole concept...)
I'm hoping HTC enable it in an update. Any chance of that happening?
Now that it's rooted, does anyone know how we could get it?
I noticed in the video posted that even after the nexus one enabled all animations it didn't have the "zoom" animation from within the settings (like going from main settings list to the wireless or sound and display menu)
Is it possible to have the zoom animation everywhere, i am sure i has this before with other roms. It may have been called moto blur or just blur animations?

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out
lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself
wont work...but
why not try something that really works (touchless gesture that is)

Maybe we can try by changing the build.prop of the phone. We did the same with Facebook Home and it seemed to work. Anyone can try this out?

are you following me from phone to phone over the years? :silly:
i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

No luck. I give up. Had a couple of responses earlier, like opening browser when it was already opened and requesting root.
Have you guys tryd using a logcat to see what it keeps looking for before it crashes just saying then we could have a better understanding.

Talking of Tom Cruise, he's like Sense 5. Remember the sense on our desire? Sense 5 looks just like that. I wonder how mimi Rogers looks like standing next to him today.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

I tried that explorer after your message I could see the Cocktail Ssysrem apk but it doesn't list any individual widgets. (Image attached).
Phone is full of sk telecom apps.
Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???
you're really not missing anything with the twitter app it only shows trending terms with it had your timeline

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

If root came to your m9 today, what would be the first thing you would do?
Disable the 10 incorrect pattern wipe and enable a few other things. Or S-Off if you're not including that in the root process.

Remove tetherguard hooks and enable tethering for those still holding on to unlimited data. I find the SD permissions less of an issue with andorid 5. Apps can at least now ask for permissions.

Well, since I got root today - Java Card S-Off
TiBu - I can't live without importing Call Logs and Messages. It's a complete dealbreaker for me to not be able to import these.

I haven't. My previous phone was an M7 running santod040's GPE. I'll bail on Sense on this phone as fast as I can, too. I assume HTC's app would need Sense to work, no?
Well I would hope I could eventually load a rom (once S-off is achieved) that has a good lock screen clock/weather widget other than the ones I am seeing even on themed versions that look like a 10 year drew it with a crayon LOL.
Load ViperOne and then download other ROMs that are ready and check them out
If root, unlocked and S-OFF, make a stock nandroid jic, ad away, edit the default xml to enable tethering.
I'd also be interested to find out if enabling continuous scroll through home screens and rotation of home screen is a simple default xml edit or involves something more intricate.
Also I feel the max volume of the M9 is significantly less than my m8 (I have the hardon Marlon mod). Sounds great...but through the front speakers it's nowhere near as loud...so I imagine I'd flash the H/K mod if available

Oh this is a good one. And the "Location Found" notification. Also superfluous. I have tasker set up to automatically dismiss both notifications as soon as they pop up so I don't see them but agree that they are dumb.
I would download Secure Settings so I could automate my phone further with Tasker. I hate having to go through the menu's to turn things on or off when I've had it automated for the longest time.

I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!
Here are a few things I have done so far;
Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps
Disabled Dual Window
Disabled QuickCircle case
Disabled sound on keypress
Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)
Installed Launcher <3
Turned off Smart Bulletin
Turned off NFC
Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)
Increased vibration strength
Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip
Installed V10 Camera Mod apk
Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)
Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen
I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app
Cheers!

And depending on model it's very risky to brick the device!
Added SystemUI Tuner to get immersive mode. Had to do some ADB commands to break my device's virginity. ?
Disabled the "ok Google" detection from any screen. I think this helped with scrolling jittery lagging in some apps.
Using the built in cleaning app has helped too. I run it about once a week or after installing/removing a bunch of apps.
Now I don't swipe away my frequently used apps from the recent apps button/screen and that really speeds up launching the apps I use often.
