This is getting on my nerves. Trying to switch to golauncher and i keep telling it to use go launcher by default and it keeps asking me which launcher I wanna use. And you can't disable sense either. Whats the deal?

Seems as long as I'm on stock unrooted this will be an issue. Back to sense for now. Sense overall is a nice stock launcher but wouldn't mind something faster.

I have noticed the same problem with other apps. I will select a specific app as default when prompted. Then I get prompted again the next time. I'm not sure if the feature doesn't work, or if I don't understand the obscure instructions,
I've got the same problem ...
This usually happend to me with Google maps or the browser when I had "automatically update" set in Google's play store. Every time after update it clears the default, and have to re set it.

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with using custom launchers on Sense 3.0&3.5 ROMs: if I use a custom launcher without deleting or freezing Sense, whenever I press Home button, a prompt appears asking me whether I want to use HTC Sense or the custom launcher to 'complete the action' even though I had chosen the custom launcher and set it as default for a bunch of times.
It is maddening since I've never found a perfect No-sense script and camera apps on AOSP ROMs are so lame. Any solutions, please?
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried going to settings, applications then manage applications and setting the default from there?

This is, i figured it's stable enough to be updated to beta. And i'm comfortable with having it in more than two threads now.

emmc music, use doubletwist, or similar to fix for now, no true hw acceleration, and a popup when downloading from market about file size.
Hmmm ok I'll try it out, hopefully the calendar shows this time. I tried the MIUI.us one and didn't have a calendar

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.
Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**
Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should
Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?
Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

Thanks for the info! Surprised to hear ics removed Facebook integration. I'm a sucker for that kind of baked in goodness, but luckily there's usually an app for it.
Thanks for your work on this rom.

My three year old nephew loves to play games on my phone which i don't mind. It just he sometimes exits the game by mistake trying to get back in and in the process sometimes launches different apps or send a sms or makes a call.
Is there an app in the Mark.. errr Play Store that i can install and PIN lock certain apps like Dailer/SMS?
I want him to be able to go in and launch whatever game he wants or watch movies that are preloaded for him but just not use apps like the dialer.
Anyone know of an app like this?
There is toddler lock which is nice and works but it only worked when he was like 2.

Thanks, didn't like the above app lockers. I hate having things in the notification bar and tried at least 10 other free apps and the best of the bunch was Smart App Protector.
This is prefect I can install this on my parents phones as well and lock them out of Titanium Backup and SuperUser and Root Explorer. They have went in and deleted the wrong thing by mistake before, so i always created a back up of root explorer and uninstalled TB and whenever i needed it i would install from market which was a pain this is prefect.
For my boys I use Pinnacle Locker (free from the market), it can lock apps, calls, sms, settings, pretty much everything you want. I made presets for each and they can only use their own apps.

Just make sure you set security to maximum and I don't use livelyness detection
And make sure you do the face training under different light and angles

Kid Launcher in the market is made just for this. I use it everyday. It is a home screen replacement so you can just add the apps you want them to use. It needs a password to exit. I highly recommend it.

Yea, I'm having the same problem.. pulling down to refresh the feed. Don't have any battery management apps installed either... No idea why it's acting funky (and yea, I have enabled update w/ wifi and data)
*edit*
After eying my One for over 1hr30, Blinkfeed finally updated! However, the update was a few minutes late (said it updated at 7:33, but did not carry 5 or 6 stories that were available at the same time (did a manual update to test)
Try waiting 1hr30 and let me know how it goes! Do wish it updated more often...
I found this on htc.com
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
QUESTION:
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
ANSWER:
The phone automatically refreshes every 2 hours on mobile data network or hourly on Wi-Fi. While the phone is charging and connected to Wi-Fi, it refreshes every 15 minutes.
You can refresh HTC BlinkFeed anytime by pulling down the top of the screen. Pull down to refresh is now part of the many gestures supported on HTC Sense 5, such as the Mail app.
why is it on the setting for blinkfeed, Auto refresh is disabled and locked only using wi-fi? I want to auto update it via mobile data. Any suggestions?
I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.
