Find Phone Question - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi helpful people of XDA.
I've received my One and I'd very much like to keep it in my possession. Just wondering if there's a find my iPhone style app available for it? Or if its in settings somewhere?
Edit - Also while I'm here, the phone doesn't seem to distinguish between H and H+ it's annoying, is there any chance of being able to see the difference?
Thanks.

Plan B is awesome. You can install that one after you lost it via play.google.com
Otherwise you can use prey or any other app .. there are tons

Theres also Wheres my Droid
But as said, most of these "finding" apps you can install online through your google account and then track down your phone

So many apps I wasn't aware of!
Thanks chaps.

LG Thrill ROM Suggestions?

Hey guys I just got my thrill today. I don't know if there is any rom's currently able to run on this device but I do have the source code downloaded and plan on trying to create a rom but has there been a full back method found yet like tegra2 devices have nvflash?
Best of luck. Waiting for it.

You can make nandroid backups available through CWM, check out designgear's thread
Edit: Oh yeah, and my suggestion for a ROM? I would love a ROM that comes debloated, deodexed and zip aligned (just for easier theming - that does make theming / sharing themes easier, right?), has the speed tweeks/optimizations available for the Optimus 3D, obviously AT&T radio, and if I can dream a little, several more preinstalled fonts, LP or a psuedo gingerbready launcher, and some light theming with some matching backgrounds* and a matching bootup animation. A kernel that allows for OC would be nice to have I guess, but I can't imagine using it to be honest; the battery life is so bad already.
Good luck!
*If you know what colors you're using, I'd be happy to find or create matching backgrounds and/or a boot animation if you want.
If Possible and a big IF considering I have yet to see a device not HTC Branded that uses Sense but Would love to see a sense type Rom IF possible. Also would love an OC kernel considering battery isn't really an issue for me considering I am Always by a power source, that and I sit at home all day lol. Even if I didn't I would probably Underclock and Undervolt for battery Life than OC at night when I got home and wanted to do stuff on the phone.
I am looking through everything for the LG Optimus and I'm scouring the Texas Instruments site to see if I can find something there.
call recording funtion
can you add call recording funtion on your rom ?
I think that was already responded to. But from my understanding its too much work so get a 3rd party app

Call Recording has been added to a few of the O3D Roms so maybe ask the dev how he did it, shrug just an idea.

I was able to get it to work most of the way but missing the .dll file for the p925 instead of p920 and I can't get the stupid flashtool it provides to even startup on my pc. I'm on win 7. I'm going to harrass the hell out of LG and see if I can pull some kind of info from them

What is the first thing/s you are doing when you get your Nexus 7?

What is the first thing/s you are doing when you get your Nexus 7.
Doesn't include taking it out of the box.
I will be probably rooting it as soon as I take it out of the box. Maybe install some custom roms.
So what are you going to do?
The first thing that i will do is test the web browser and see if it is any smooth, if the browser is not, than i will try dolphin or something like that, but if that browser still lags that i will consider returning because i want a good and handy browsing device.

so this movie is stored in the cloud for us? therefore not taking up any memory space on tablet? That would be great. I want the movie but I'm sure high Def. version is around 1gb or more in size.

Gonna play with it for a few hours. Test OTG for myself. Consume some media.
Then ROOT it. In no real rush to ROOT since there's only one ROM as of now.

Yeah, but by the time we all get our devices, I'm sure they'll be a slew of roms, kernels, and other delicious Bacon. I think I'll run mine stock for a week or so, looking for bugs. Before I void any warranties, I wanna make sure I don't have a faulty device.
Test around for few minutes then start my setup!!
setup each of the 5 pages exactly the way I want, download widgets, apps, personalize the device
then i will start putting my own contents onto the device: movies, ebooks, comics
how is installing a new rom voiding your warranty?

Can Blinkfeed be uninstalled?

I know you can ignore/not use it, but can it be completely uninstalled without rooting etc?

Just use a different launcher. Only problem is that you won't have access to sense widgets.

Why would you want to get rid of blinkfeed? That things looks so beautiful and way useful. I still don't understand why anybody wants to get rid of it. I think it's great.

I wouldn't go as far as removing/uninstalling Blinkfeed, but I'm curious to what extend this new central piece of Sense can be configured/modified. I just played around with Blinkfeed a couple of minutes in a phone shop. You can configure the sources that are shown on these tiles (like calendar, facebook, twitter, etc) but ...
Can I control how often each tile (is tile the correct word?) is updated? The more frequent the tiles are updated, the more battery is used and more network traffic is generated.
Can I control the placement of the tiles?
Can I control how many tiles are shown? E.g. I would like only a calendar tile and no social network tile or news feed tile.
Regards,
Stefan

Don't add any feed and it won't do anything. Is like it was never there.

It was one of the features I wasn't too keen on but it's turned out to be good for a giggle when I've got nothing else to play with. I scrolled 2 left of my homescreen yesterday to see the headline 'Study warns that sex in space is dangerous.'
I couldn't agree more. For starters the instant you unzip the fly on your suit your dead! Probably not what they were getting at but it was worth a chuckle.

You didn't need to be rooted to remove blinkfeed. Check out Q12 of the HTC One FAQ and you'll see a couple of ways to be able to get rid of it.
The other method, which requires rooting, is to install a custom ROM. I believe some ROMs may still have blinkfeed included though so you'll need to read the first post (at least) of the ROM threads to find out whether it has it or not

It's a nice feature to have, but give us the option to remove/disable it. I hate it when companies force stuff on you.
I see it's there, if I like it I keep it and if I don't I remove it, simple as that. Don't force me to use it.

[APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality
Sent from Taptalk on HTC One on some awesome custom Rom!
This makes me afraid.
They turned down the Boomsound in 4.2 because people were popping speakers.
Rumor has it that HTC will simply limit the ISO or something to reduce the tint.
If they do, the HTC will have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gone down the drain.
If they actually fix this, it will truly be the world's (second) best camera phone for low light.
Also, has anybody else noticed the dire lack of basic editing features in the stock gallery app? I installed the 4.3 camera apk, but it's ridiculous.

Whenever you send a pic or upload a pic it gets compressed. Since you are not rooted I'm not sure if you can change the compression threshold

I am pretty sick of the low light purple tint. My HTC evo lte never did that in fact I think the camera was better on that phone but I can't do both. One day I will get a high precision camera that has wi do and social interaction features. Anyways a fix or attempted fix is welcomed.

Facebook App with "Ongoing Notifications"

Hello Everyone
I was hoping someone could help me. I saw a facebook feature on my mothers phone that I'd like on my own.
After a LOT of googling and searching around i've found out that the name of the feature i'm looking for is "Ongoing Notifications".
If i'm not mistaking, this is something that was released in a version of Facebook that was only available on the market for a short amount of time before they suddenly removed it again. Ironically, my mother (that pretty much NEVER update her apps) managed to get that update within the short timespan it was out. I live nowhere near her, and therefor i'm not able to backup the app from her phone and just install that on my own.
I THINK it was either version 3.6.1 or 5.6.1 (pretty sure it was the latter), but searching around I find no evidence of 5.6.1 being a valid version number.
Does anyone have the version of facebook i'm looking for installed on their phone, and would be so kind as to back it up and upload it somewhere? I would be eternally grateful, cuz this is annoying the crap out of me :cyclops:
//Espen
Edit: In case people don't necessarily realize what the feature actually does, i'd like to update this a little.
"Ongoing Notifications" adds a facebook bar in the phones notification center (dropdown menu), and an icon in the top left corner. It displays the same as your standard browser notification bar does, when logged in.
It's version 3.6.1
Let me upload it.
