HTC calculator app

The stock Rom does not include a stand alone app. Here is a working apk. You have to copy it to /system/app in twrp.

How could HTC not put a calculator app in the phone? What are they thinking? I use the calculator ALOT.

Doesn't make sense to me either. You would think a calculator would be on all phones by now by default.

I think it gets deleted from data/preload when you unlock bootloader since it wipes data

That's the sense 5.5 calculator. The sense 6.0 calculator from /data/preload (the one that gets deleted when you unlock) is attached.

Can this just be installed regularly? Or does it have to be flashed in TWRP? Havent got the phone yet, will have it Wednesday just trying to get all my stuff ready for when it comes.

Typically, system apps can't install by conventional methods (although there are a few exceptions, Google Maps being one of them). You have to use a file manager to push the file to /system/app as listed above, and be sure to set the permissions. The permissions should match the rest of the apks in the folder.
If you don't know how to get the permissions to match the other files, then check the permissions of another apk that does match, and use the same layout.

It's not originally from /system/app/, and people on other threads have been able to install them in the conventional way.

I also wonder if this is a symptom of the Unlocking process. I just got my M8 yesterday and have not Unlocked it yet and I have a Calculator App. All I've done is set it up and restore a HTC backup from my old EVO LTE. It even restored my homescreen to exactly how it was on my old phone, including widgets, which was convenient. Calculator is sitting right there on my homescreen where it usually is, and it works.

that's odd, I had the calculator before and after unlocking and rooting........

Then you have a decision to make. Art, or xposed.
Pretty sure there's no other way.

No...it doesn't. When you install Xposed, it automatically switches you back from ART to Dalvik. If it didn't, you would be in a bootloop now.

Is it true that in 4.4.3 operator name can be removed via standard option in Android settings?

Are you rooted yet let everyone know...

Mine didn't get tripped. You're safe
from my frothy.... froth... frosty... frost

Rooted and yes, I was able to change per-app DPI using an Xposed module. So far, no issues. Haven't done much but install Xposed and a bunch of long-awaited modules!

Rooted SM-G900A. Knox is NOT tripped, double checked. SuperSU manually installed using the .apk available from their website. The SuperSU app in the app store is not updated to the latest version yet. Froze LocalFOTA and AT&T Software Update using Titanium Backup so hopefully no OTA in the future. Also froze the security policy update app in Titanium Backup.

How do you check if Knox tripped

@skatin707 do not use build.prop to change the DPI. That makes a global change, you can use Xposed and then get the module called "App Settings" in the Xposed Download repo and change the DPI to something different for each app. Forums/browsers maybe you want 400dpi or smaller but games system etc you'll want to stay at a higher DPI to not have spacing issues. @runnernsd this also applies to you.

I wasn't going to use the build.prop to change it, I just wanted to know what the stock DPI was. I use textdroider and xposed modules to modify specific apps.

Turn off the phone, then, press power, home, and volume down button together and hold them until you reach a prompt that says press volume up to continue. Press volume up and you should see a Knox Counter in one of the lines listed. If it's 0x0 its not void, if it's 0x1 its tripped and therefore warranty is void.

I can't find the dpi in build.prop either but I actually want to do a global

AT&T SoftCard Wallet on Pure Edition

I'm able to install the app from the play store OK, but it's not connecting to my Sim.
I'm thinking the nano Sim I got may not have secured element, but before I go down that route, was just curious if anyone has gotten the app to work on the pure edition...

I have the firm element sim. It allows you to download the app, put in numeric pass code but then it says device not supported. I did all the hard legwork for you...

you likely need to change the device model in build.prop to trick it

Yes, that would work but without a backup or a custom recovery you are really playing with fire. Huge Risk

The app will also not work on a rooted device.

all you have to do is install root cloak and you can use this on a rooted device but it will not work on the Moto X

thanks to @graffixnyc you guys have a backup already located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/img-kxe21-187-42-pure-edition-rooted-t2892882
it's also super easy to use root explorer and create a copy of your build.prop.
and you guys have a test recovery for at least flashing zips. that's all you need right now honestly. take some risks. that's how you learn.

It does on Verizon! Not that I'd use it

So in theory one must change model number to supported device and hide root?
Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone had success?
Looking to get Moto X Pure but would like to keep using Softcard. (currently using Softcard on rooted ATT Note3 with root cloak).
Thanks in advance.

Bootloader is not locked, uncheck it in dev options then flash TWRP with flashify. Make sure and use the updated TWRP for T-Mobile only

It works across all music apps. You need to install the viper for lollipop apk and install the driver. Install SELinux mode changer and change to permissive. That should be all you need, but if it doesn't work go to developer options and check use awesome player instead of nuplayer...

It's an easy question to me SELunix no permissive in my cel so I can't install viper I used to have it and it's awesome... If you can't but Dolby it's Ah right
