I know I've seen a thread that has a fix for this somewhere, but I don't know where it is. Yes, I'm aware of the search function. (Could someone link me to the thread?) But anyway, what exactly is it? It was using up 30% of my memory, causing my phone to lag horribly. So, I deleted it to see if it was *too* much of an important file or not. My phone works fine now, no lags, nothing. But when using the Froyo version YouTube app, my phone no longer rotates like before I removed it. It rotated in the app even when screen rotation was off. So I have a feeling its got something to do with screen rotation. Thanks ahead of time, all help is appreciated.

Turn on auto rotate, that's what's causing it You must leave autorotate on in CM, otherwise lag will ensue!!!

I have it on now. I forgot to include that I'm running aospMod 0.7. I'll reflash when aosp releases a newer version than 0.9.7.

It's both. It monitors the accelerometer and the compass. Rename /bin/akmd to something else and bet you that if you opened up a compass app it won't do anything - or possibly just spin in circles. Either way it breaks it.

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Ok, I just rebooted the phone twice and everything goes back to normal. I am sure I had rebooted the phone more than once before, but they did not work until just 5 mins ago...

Just to get used to the android OS dev side I am going to attempt to blend Meego/Maemo features with android. I will be using the V10k firmware as a basis.
I'm curious as to features you may wish to see in a rom. My main goals are:
Tri-screen functionality: Custom home, Apps, Running apps (Similair to Meego)
Customizable folders for the app screen
Onestop Keyboard (Swype, switch between qwerty and T9/numeric style)
3d functionality remaining
Possible Debian install
Removal of ALL spare apps. If it isn't required, it's gone.
EDIT:
Possible extra features
Option to uninstall apps from app screen via long press.
Option to hide/lock apps
EDIT (Final):
PROGRESS: Android is a surpisingly easy OS to work on and there is a LOT of devel to look at in terms of starting points for coding. I currenty have a debian distro runningwith the android OS. Apt-get works fine, however there is not enough space install any application. This Rom may either be out very soon, or depending on memory issues my be impossible without relying on an SD.
Unlocked tether and wifi hot spot
I'm most concerned with battery longevity. Don't know if you'd call that a feature, but to me it's one of the most important parts.
Wish List for new ROM on LG Thrill
I love this Thrill, for the most part, but I wish that the Phone app, where you see the
Dial, Call Log, Contact and Groups, would work same way as the Stock Android does... basicaly, take out the Groups and put Favorits.
This Group to me is very slow every time I click on it takes 5 to 10 seconds to load.. and then I have to presse the Favorits... which I use the most... so..
Yes, I have about 1700 contacts on my list, but even with just a just contacts, this buttons GROÜPs is very slow.
Also, I wish that the Flash on teh 3D camera mode would work, because right now, only in 2D mode is that the Flash works... I think it is just a setting in some internal files or on the Camera apps that blocks the Flash when in Video or still pic.
Thanks and let us know if these changes are possible or not.
Ron
WIFI Unlock and tether: I belieive its been done on other roms so it should be no problem
Battery: I will see what I can do. The ROM will just be a bare bones OS so there should be very little to eat up the battery.
Contacts to favorites and camera flsh: I'll have to look into this and let you know.

There is a reason behind the flash not working during 3D. They blocked it because the light from the flash messes with the 3D camera. Sure this could be a feature still, just saying this doesn't work for a good reason.

I was actually thinking on waiting for the Gingerbread update before starting. The update should be coming anywhere between novemeber and the end of december.
If I wait, then it will give me a bit more time to get familiar with android as an OS andcome up with various way to get the maemo/meego/android mix feel just right. Progress has been fairly fast however. I'm still having memory issues with the debian however. Also, the UI get very buggy. I might just look into utilizing some outside programs.
How would you guys feel if I outed the stock home and keyboard and replaced it with someothing like GO launcher and keyboard?
As long as the keyboard has the speak to text capability, because although mines rooted with thriller, i don't like using swype just to have that option.. it should be on the default keyboards too.

The reboot option is actually a great idea Ill look into that, I probably will not have an undervolt OR even an overclock option as Im sure it will require a custom kernel. Kernel are something I rarely play with and when I do it's only a temp thing.

The reboot option is used in thriller, oops wrong reboot. I think there was a reason the reboot to recovery didn't work, I remember reading about it in thriller thread.

Hello xda,
After a few weeks with my rooted nook touch, I have come to realize how annoying the DRAG TO UNLOCK screen is. Is there any way to skip this and go straight from screensaver to homescreen/book/whatever-you-were-doing? Already scoured the google and this forum and can't find anything.
Thanks in advanced!
yeah, that would be nice if the lockscreen/screensaver could be completely disabled!
I use No Lock by BoD http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock It has a widget for toggling the lockscreen too. I use it on all my android devices that don't have a rom with it built in. I wasn't sure if it would work with the nook touch but it works like a charm. I'd be nice to have a custom rom for the touch that has it built in. Maybe if cm7 gets running on it.

Thank you!
The problem of this utility is that it's always running as service and take some resources.
If I kill it from services keylock starting to work.
Think must be another ways - smth like disable lock in sys settings via adb.
If you're rooted with nook manager just use the nook touch mod manager and under the configure mod option you can disable the drag to unlock and also have a customized banner with your name and number below.

I know this is an old thread, and the Nook Touch Mod Manager fix DOES work if you have it installed, but as someone who just recently re-enabled the two part unlock, let me just mention that it is actually a useful feature. I don't know how many times I have pulled my Nook out to a random page, or random menu selection because the button got bumped whole it was in my pocket. Luckily, no random changes happened that were irreversible. It would really have sucked if I had managed to out it in black text on a black background, for example, and knowing my luck, it's amazing that I didn't.
So that's my two cents' worth. You can disable it, but it is actually quite useful, and speaking from experience, I recommend against doing it.
Hey guys,
So, I just picked up the HTC one today. As I expected, the hardware is great, but I have to admit i'm really disappointed in the software. It feels like a child's toy. So few options. I'm coming from an Xperia Ion. I thought the software on that was terrible and limited but HTC's is worse. It obviously didn't take me long to flash my Ion. and it seems I'm not even willing to give the HTC 24 hours to flash it either. So, I'm used to Cyanogen Roms and other xperia specific roms which were awesome. But I see no stock android roms for the HTC One. All seem to have HTC Stock Roms and that's exactly what I don't want. I don't want to be limited by the choices HTC gives me.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2 android rom for the HTC. And if not, if you recommend any particular Rom considering the following:
1. I need LTE
2. I want a barebones phone that I can add what i need to, not the other way around. I hate these freakin manufacturers and their obsessive need to add crap to a perfectly fine platform. I'd get the nexus 4 is it's hardware was better and had LTE and didn't look like ****, but hey, that's not an option.
Things I hate about the One.
1. the phone dialer buttons are badly placed
2. no control over headset button actions - even with 3rd party apps
3. No menu button that I can find - yes I know each app has one, but it's not standard and that's annoying
4. Can't seem to find a recent apps/multi-task button
5. Bunch of home app features missing or just too limited - yes I know i can replace with a launcher
Recent apps/Multi-tasking: Quickly double tap the Home key to get this.
(As you may have noticed, long-press Home opens Google Search)
Multitask by double tapping the home button. But ya I flashed to trickdroid for the One and its still HTC stock, but it is alot better, Gives you the option of making the long hold on the back button a menu button.
There a few minimal roms in the development forum.
@kuroneko007 -- thanks for that. looked everywhere. I even tried double tapping a couple times, but seems my timing was off, which is just a testament to how bad an idea that is. Double tap incorrectly and you end up on the home page. No big deal, but all these little things just irk me. Ya, I had noticed the long press home feature.
@sdla4ever -- trickdroid will take a look. was really hoping there'd be a non HTC option, but i realize it's a very new phone and maybe there just hasn't been enough dev time just yet. I am hoping that'll change.
I saw a thread on an app called SwipePad, which will help with getting around the phone from anywhere with gestures, which is cool, so that might help a bit, but i just feel like there are a lot of details I was spoiled with on my previous roms that I'm just not getting here at all. Anyway, any other tricks and tips you guys have found that boost your productivity or provide more options, i'm always open to hearing.
Thanks for your input guys.

Look in the HTC One development forum there are ROMs that are even more minimal.
Give it a month or two. The phone has just been released and many people have not even got hold of their pre-ordered units yet.

Ya, I figured that was the case, but just thought I'd ask, on the off-chance i was missing something obvious. I wonder if Cyanogen will make a ROM for it. Of all the roms i've tried, I think i like the CM ones best, though not by much. SOme really good stuff out there.

My suggestion would be to install the Renovator ROM with the de-sense option in AROMA, then install Apex launcher and set gestures for actions you want such as menu and search...etc. Or you could give the CM from the ATT version a shot, but it seems to be an early build so there could be some loose ends right now.
I think this is a great phone the has some questionable design decisions from HTC in both the hardware and software. But everything can be somewhat dealt with with a little trial and error and research.

I found a much better way - I installed this kernel and disabled the three menu button menu - now use the htc logo as the menu button!
@apd - that's exactly what I mean. Sure the apps have their own menu area, but it's a waste of space and not always in the same place for every app, which is annoying and like you said takes up real estate. if one of the capacitive buttons could serve as the menu button, that would be awesome. As for the last reply, what do you mean you disabled the 3 menu button menu? I understand that it's possible to use the htc logo as a cap button, but what other button are you referring to that you disabled? You referring to the software/app buttons that show up in every app? Please explain. I wonder what roms that kernel works with. Will have to look into that.
@lilhaiti - i agree. phone is solid, but there are a few things that imo weren't done with much thought. I am and have used Apex for a couple years, and between that and Swipe Pad, I've covered most of the basics, tho, essentially I'm installing apps to do what the phone should be able to do from the start. Whatever, no big deal, but these details are still important to me. As for the CM, I'll wait. I'm not in a huge rush, but I'll definitely try it once it's stable.

Does anyone know how to keep the three-dot menu in apps which implement it properly in the action bar, but hide it in apps where it appears as a black bar?
