How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

Cheers mate but I'm stock (unrooted)
Can't root 'cus I can't afford to lose all the setup, settings, apps and data. They need to be restorable.

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

Unlocking bootloader is where you usually have a complete wipe... SunShine method doesn't wipe??

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.
Okay, trying it now then.

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

Ok and 3rd: not enough space to copy it onto internal I guess!?
For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.

Yep, don't have that much room.
Yea, but it means I gotta go back like a month, lol. I've lost phone speaker sound cus of it hence.
I guess I'm gonna leave it until I have spare time to see all the files it's flashing, and then try to flash my old backed up files. Gah

I have just rooted my dads desire. I made some space in the internal storage which is good. But my dads most important app good for enterprise has validation failure and closed itself down. I dont know what to do and how to get it working again. Any suggestions on fixing it or making the app work again?

Indeed check for the app compatibility with the different Android version, even if it passes the parsing check it may still fail to run Also, did you install and run any a2sd script?

i was just wondering if anyone knows why google play store doesnt restore any of my apps after i do a clean wipe and and flash a new rom. it used to start re-downloading them immediately on the first boot up after i signed in on my G2X when using a CM based ROM. and does any know of a free and reliable way to batch restore apps???
I wonder this my self... But I use titanium backup it has its bugs sometimes but it works fine for me

Well I was hoping there was a free legal way to get it.... like taking a offer or a survey. Kinda like how akinator lite offer akinator pro to people who like their Facebook page or tell a certain amount of people about the app.... free doesn't always mean steal. Remember that

Did you leave the box checked that said sync with Google (OE something like that on the first boot)
And as far as tb goes give app to zip a try. Its a great app, and there is a free version that will do all you need. And the pro version is less than three dollars

I guess that it only working when an official ROM is installed. I tried more than 4 custom ROMs and all cannot get my apps back

Saving my apps to an sd card works for me. I also tend to modify roms via the android kitchen and while at it, place a few apps I need accessible prior to flashing (root explorer, etc).
Well, I've noticed that they don't restore all the time unless you use the same ROM. But even a stock rim misses the occasional app. Titanium Backup works great for me.

Remove your Google account, and just add it back for auto restore to work again.

Just a kick because if your apps don't start to auto restore and you want them to, simply go to Settings, Remove your Google account, and just add it back. Worked for me.
I searched all over and cant find an answer. I tried adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys+1" to build prop but got nothing. I want to utilize the full screen and I am used to gestures from my blackberry q10 so I thought this would be perfect. Thanks!
I am assuming you are already rooted. You can install the GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys app. Works nicely, but you have to buy the pro version to unlock dinner of the features.

You mean it should already be in their? I couldn't find it. I tried adding that to the end of the list but it didnt do anything after rebooting.
I added it to my build prop and it worked. I'm using lmt. It won't start up by itself though, or I haven't figured out how yet. Also make sure your keyboard didn't auto correct the words.

Would being s-on have anything to do with it not saving? I am rooted and everything but havent got around to getting soff. I add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" and reboot and nothing happens.
it seems like adaway doesn't save after a reboot either so I assume this has something do with s-on. I wasn't going to soff until cyanogenmod or something was available. So if anyone reads this, is that the issue?
its not saving because of system write protection, not s-off. If you have root already, there is a module the Original Android Development section that you can push to phone and setup script to disable the protection, allowing those apps to save after a reboot.

Thanks for the input. I guess I need to wait for a rom or something to come out for sprint because it seems for the buttons to dissapear, the phone needs to be rebooted which then reenables the write protection.

Nand backup as in from TWRP? I just found ViperOne ROM and flashed it and didn't make a backup.
If only I checked the thread sooner. I still can't get the write protection working and its annoying the heck out of me! I want pie!
Are you putting a 1 or a 0? I believe ยน is what hides the navbar. There aren't any modules you could flash to disable write protection? Idk if the ones in the m8 section are usable on sprint m8 or not though

I just went through the process of unlocking the bootloader and getting my M8 rooted. First thing I went to do was use titanium backup to get rid of all the apps I hate so much. Apps like, T-Mobile my account, name id, and TV. Other apps that seem to be stock with the M8 itself that I don't want as well, like: kid mode, parent dashboard, Twitter, Polaris, etc. I go through select them all and it seems to remove them no problem. After using my phone for the rest of the day I had to reboot my phone for some reason, when it powered back on all the apps repopulated! Any else have this issue or know why this has happen? I know it's not a major issue but I hate seeing apps on my device that I don't want or use. Thanks in advance!

Im using the HTC m8 for a week now, and to be honest i dont like BlinkFeed.
Is there a way to delete it?
Im still stock, no root or s-off.

No, because as far as I know, it's part of the launcher (although it can be updated through the play store). Ensure its not subscribed to anything and that it it's set to sync as little as possible.
turned off all of your auto update.

That does not delete it. If you want to really delete it too probably need root and system access. And have knowledge about adapting apk files. Maybe it's possible to remove some code from the prism.apk to actually true disable it. But that's kinda difficult i guess.
