M8 play store updates - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, thanks for looking ...
I have several updates pending on my (working very well) M8, the feedback on these updates seem really naff so I haven't applied them !
What are your thoughts ? Have you updated and were they OK .
The camera is the main worry I guess.
Cheers

If you're on stock, you should update as they are mainly new features & bug fixes so you'll have better experience.
If you're on some custom ROM with many tweaks then you need to see whether the ROM dev update them or not in their ROM thread.

Stock ...

I guess by the lack of replies that it's probably safe to assume that the negative feedback on playstore might be from HTC haters ?

I update everything all the time, I never run into any issues if you notice on Google Play Store even the most simple app like a calculator or flashlight still has negative reviews, most of these people posting those reviews are absolute noobs, like preppy school girls, grandma's and gangsters lol
Some reviews are just dumb either saying ONLY "fix it! update messed everything up!" without saying anything is even specifically messed up or something like "now that certain button is blue instead of green? you change without my permission? 1 star!!! fix!"
Some of these updates are actually important either fixing a known issue or making the app more compatible after one of your OTA updates.
Or of course like the new version of the "Google" app for example new features and new pretty animations are added

Cheers chaps, updated everything and the phone still works ?

And it still works ?

does this version still suffer from lag.. i had an older version, and although it seemed fine for a bit, sometimes the lag was bad enough for you to miss your road.. especially in busy inner-city areas.. does this fix that problem?

Yes, it my case it does still have this lag. It seems to be a flaw in the software, because TomTom on the same HD does not show a noticable lag.
IGO's gps lag is really annoying. I propose to start a new topic for this. I am pretty sure there are many users of IGO (8.3.2.97313) that experience (or have experienced) the same problem. There's only one person needed to give us the solution
Please help !!!

[App] Saev Mah Battery!

Hello guys,
I was working on a project today that lead me to create this app for myself, and I thought I could share it.
Basically, Saev My Battery! let you reduce your brightness below the minimum possible, without your phone needing to be rooted.
For now, the battery saving will occur only with AMOLED displays (like the SGS2's screen), but I'm planning to add the reddish tint for other displays in the next few days.
Let me know what you think about it, if you find any bug, if you'd like some more features etc...
Thanks for being my beta testers fellow SGS2 owners

There already is this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhheG9yIl0.
which I personally use since SG1...But more is always welcome
I will try it although one of the let downs with your app for me is the name (I just don't like when people use words that aren't the real words) and the design.Make more polished..More eye appealing.Those are my sujestions.
Keep it up

Hey, thanks for your quick review. I'll definitely work on the design, but I've been too lazy to find a more appealing name I guess

I'm also using Screen Filter, but if this program will also have features of "Soft Screen Tuner" (plaing with colors, saturation...) and "Voodoo Screen tuning" so it will be "all in one" =) But anyway thnx! =)
How about SMB?

[Q] Need Stability!!

Over the past three weeks Have been trying assortment of roms. Dont like the look and feel of TW. I like the abilities of CM because i can shut of the phantom menu, but i have been getting wakelocks and LOS and the rotation is slow or doesnt even work. especially after hanging up calls.
I would just like a recomendation for a stable ROM with no LOS and customizable. Battery i know depends on the phone so i wont even ask.
Or even fixes for those problems. I am currently on CM 10.1rc2 build date 9/18
Have you tried some of the themed TouchWiz ROMs? That's where you're gonna get stability... Here's my latest if you dare to try it mwahaha (mad scientist laugh)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320041.. I've got a 4.3 AOSP version on there too but I wouldn't recommend that for stability.

Pretty much, check out the huge features list in Post #1
Looks very nice. the launcher seems very comparable to apex launcher. love to gesture to get to things. ill add some high contrast icons, because i work outside and need to see. Thank you. will report back after i give it a whirl. in case somebody else has the same question.
Really loving rom. Have question about unlock screen. I changed it to aosp but I can't find any where to change the targets..and thanks for the inverted play store. Have the app.but I always screw up installation and give up.I always search, hence only 10 posts in over 2 years
Can't change targets.

(REQUEST) Recents Screen from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1? Is it possible?

Hi, I recently installed the official Lollipop stock rom to my P600 but I found that they made an step backwards by replacing the simple and nice recents screen in 4.4.2 with a laggy full-screen new one in 5.1.1. So I am wondering if it is possible to get that back with replacing the apk or sth. This is what I mean:
4.4.2

It is not what I don't like about the Lollipop Recents... it is what I do like from the KitKat one: its simplicity. In less than 1/3 of the screen you can see clearly more previous apps than in the lollipop's one, and it becomes easier to switch to "that email you were writing an hour ago" or "that movie you were watching before remembering about the email". And it does not fill the whole screen, so it feels more integrated. Let's say like the Window's taskbar.

Well , then I guess it might be better to try out the app "Taskbar 7" ( you can google it ... I didn't find the GP link ... ) which I guess the newest version was 1.8 ... it sets up a taskbar like Win 7 's one ... also you can try out " Glovebox " or "Swapps" which are made for the same propose ... I hope they help you :laugh:

Question Solution to quick settings tiles back to android 11 style?

Hello
Since the update from a11 to a12 i must say that for me it was quite a step back in many ways. I can live with most of the things but i cant get over the quick settings. Its a huge deal breaker, i wonder is there any solution out there one could completely replace this crappy big tiles altogether ideally systemwise as those pesky apps like power shade actually dont work really well. Or is there any AOSP rom that would have? I guess no? So probably OOS would be only option?
I am searching far and wide and seems there isnt anything. But if anyone would know of something give us shout!
Many thanks
K.

the huge ones are on aosp roms
if i am not mistaking "anciet" has A11 tiles, or for A12Aosp you can try "project themer A12" on the store
... maybe also "aosp customizer" majsk module allows somethink like that, on rice it is also customizable in 2,3,4 columns per row
yes thats what i am talking about...going back to OOS if there wont be anything to fix AOSP roms
That's was one of the reasons I came back to 11. Couldn't stand 12 view and feeling.
