Since M8 doesn't have option to turn the screen off by double tapping on home screen (I really don't know why), I've used a widget on KitKat to turn it off. Today I've finally updated it to Lollipop, and I have problems with it.
I have Smart Lock enabled (with face recognition), and when I turn the screen off with widget, and turn it on again, face recognition doesn't even start. Only if I turn it off with power button, then everything works. I've tried several widgets from Play store, but all of them have the same problem.
My question is- does somebody know about wigdet that doesn't have this problem? I would be very grateful if someone knows.
Thank you for your answer.
PS. sorry for my bad english
It's very easy. First you need greenify, it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not.
On Sense home screen create a shortcut to (Greenify)-Hibernate + Lock screen and that's it.
If you have Nova launcher, than you can have dubble tap to screen off:
Nova settings > gestures and Buttons > double tap > select the same Greenify shortcut again.

Unfortunately, that also doesn't work, same problem as others. I can lock the screen, but it's the same thing when I turn the screen on- face recognition doesn't start.
I have Sense M8 so I have it's stock launcher, it's the best for me. And I'm fully stock, non-rooted.
Still, thanks for reply.

Install this app ,its the one I use .
When you open the app you must active it and upon activating it your screen will shut off.
Unlock your screen and go to widgets to scroll to it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.marinelli.android.TurnOff
I haven't fully understood you, which widgets I have to scroll? Because after updating to 5.0, I can't swipe right on the lockscreen and add widgets.
Unfortunately your screen off widget is the same as others... If it works for you, then maybe it's some random bug after update...

I'm on an official 5.0.1 running a 5.0.2 ROM and can easily add a widget for all apps that have one .
I don't understand what's going on with your device
Its an app and you choose its widget from the home screen like any other.it just turns the device screen off and has nothing to do with facelock
Maybe root and custom
firmware/ROM is in your near future. Most of the lollipop ROMs come with extra features that allow the type of things your wanting

I have Sense M8, you have GPE.
The widget turns the screen off and it looks like it's the same thing as the power button. But something different is probably going on in the background.

You could still run a GPE ROM or a Sense based "ROM" and gain what you want either way.
If you stay stock and the feature your looking for isn't a part of the system or an app doesn't exist that can do what you want
You may want to Unlock the bootlooader ,flash a custom recovery, and ROOT it so you can open up the phones full potential.

I've rooted every phone I had, but I don't have time for it anymore. Plus, M8 is a beast even without root.
Well this update haven't brought anything good. They've just mixed Material Design with Sense, it looked better before. They should have animated everything, not just few things. Plus, they removed widgets for lockscreen. I'm waiting for Sense 7, it will be better (I hope so).

I'll just say one last thing and I'm not just trying to irritate your sir.
If you had unlocked and rooted when it was version 4.4.2 than S-OFF would've allowed you to go back in time using ruu.
I agree with Sense not doing very much with lollipop as I'm Dev Sense lollipop base,that's why I'm on GPE cause it's way more visually appealing.
I can tell your a smart person just reading how you write .rooting devices before you'd know it really isn't that hard .

I know it's not hard, but if root my phone I will lose hours and hours on flashing different ROMs, kernels, mods, tweaks, etc. I would'n stop on one thing. So I'll wait for Sense 7, i know HTC would done a good job.
And I don't know what to say about Google and Lollipop... Every device on L has bugs, and battery life is shorter than on 4.4.4... It will probably take them a year to reach stability of 4.4.4. It looks way better, but in the background it's not that good. Step backward, my opinion.
What's going to make Sense 7 any different.when I flash a ROM I just use it the way it boots stock,I don't search for bugs to report even after reading before hand witch bugs have been reported.
Do you have a source link to the Sense 7 information you've been reading to share.I'm an At&t user that converted to Dev edition to receive earliest Sense OTA's .when is Sense 7 ETA do you know
Of course I don't have any information about Sense 7 (maybe it will be Sense 6.5?). But I'm saying, when M9 comes, it will have new Sense, which will probably be better than this (full Material design + other some other features). I don't have any information about it but it's likely to be expected.

Just tried LMT Launcher which works really well alongside the ones sense 5 launcher, it adds a lot of functionality which just works so well once your used to it and you set apps that you'll like.
Here is the link to the said app and i'm in no way affiliated with the development i just wanted to share something i'd found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
for me to get it to work properly here the settings i activated, everything else is left at stock and i'm running the newest version.
Autostart - enabled
Gesture input - No known device yet
Activation area thickness - 40
ISA 11 - checked
then all your left with is what you want to set to your short cuts.
I haven't bothered with gestures but there are so many options it's insane.
Well done to the dev who made it, working well here
I love LMT. I used it on my Hercules, and soon as I rooted, I put it on my one. I love being able to launch everything and not having to clutter up my home screen. I never ventured into anything but the pie launcher, so I can't offer any help besides there.
Is there a way to have lmt launch the app gallery? Can't seem to find that option

You have to launch it as an activity. So go to activity, gallery, then choose the main launcher one. It's the second I believe.
I'm quite new to it m8, you'd be better off asking in the thread I've mentioned.

I have been using it for a while now and have had zero hiccups at all everything works as it should.
So weird, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. I'm very familiar with the app, having used it on the last couple of phones through multiple roms. I've tried 2 different Sense roms and 2 different AOSP based, with no luck. Everything starts and stops like it should, it just won't activate when I swipe across the area. Ah well, nature of the beast, I guess. I'll keep messing with it...
YouTube app launch
I recently got my HTC One and unlocked bootloader/rooted.
Installed LMT launcher so I could get the Pie Controls - they look awesome and keep my homescreen clean.
So far so good, I've set all 10 pie segments to launch apps.
All of them work, except for YouTube.
Tried assigning it to various different pie segments but never works.
All other apps launch successfully so not sure why YouTube won't.
I've not got a high enough post count yet to post on the main LMT thread posted by the OP so hoping one of you guys might know why this is happening... Or if anyone else has YouTube launching successfully via LMT Pie Controls.
Cheers

Hi guys.
I have LMT included in my ROM for HTC One. I made a video on how to configure it. hope this helps you
The video is recorded on a Nexus 10, but the idea is the same.
I loved using PIE/LMT on my Nexus 4. I wish we didn't have the hard nav bar on our One. That extra space looked awesome on the N4.

can gestures use on one？
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
LMT is great on the One, especially with that huge HTC logo
The only downside is that you still need to be able to assign one of the buttons to menu to get rid of the three dot bar in apps like facebook. If you don't do that then the three dot menu bar gets in the way of LMT and you can't use from the bottom in those apps
As a little workaround on 4.2.2 to keep a long press on home for Google Now, I am using Paul's Xposed mod designed for 4.1.2 and assigning a long press of the back button to menu. Long press for menu doesn't work on 4.2.2 roms, but it still gets rid of the annoying three dot menu bar.
Another quick tip:
To get one of the pie segments to turn off the screen, use keycode 26 in Advanced Commands: Key
That saves a lot of finger acrobatics to get up to the top of the phone. Along with the volume buttons to wake this is great for anyone with small fingers
Any idea how to get the Dialer to come up? I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Just an FYI for anyone with a HTC One (M7) that wants to use LMT to call up the APM (Simulate long press power button) this is the script code to use:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
sleep 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 0
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
The main LMT thread has mostly Nexus and Galaxy events so it took me a little time to find this out for the One.
Hopefully this post will help anyone searching for LMT Power Menu script on the One.

I am starting this thread anticipating the release of LP to our device. As we all know with the new 5.x.x release there are some bugs and new ways we have to mod things, most especially Xposed and the modules we use for our G3. I want this to be a place where you can ask questions, post information, and assist with anything TMo LP related.
Please no arguing and no conspiracy theories. I hope that with everyone playing nice and helping others, this can serve as a central hub of knowledge for our device running stock LP

Overall works great but a few bugs.
What doesn't work / not work correctly--- indicated what isn't
Every change needs a reboot
Any change breaks custom Navbar/SoftKeys (until rebooted)
Quick Settings Panel color impossible to match to the color above it (the colored bar with the settings, clear and clock in it, not the status bar)
Advanced Power Menu shows up but missing reboot options despite 4 way setting being enabled. Screenshot option doesn't do anything.
Remove Knock Code String
Hide Carrier Text (Unlock Screen)
Bigger Call Picture
AOSP Clear All Button
Restore the Menu Button, it does restore the menu button but it doesn't change the icon in the stock settings anymore, still shows as Q-Slide or something like that

Yeah I think the only way to switch profiles is still through guest mode(not like other LP devices) so nothing there has changed.. I'm doing fine with data and wifi, issue I have is starting this morning I couldn't turn BT on from the statusbar toggle until I rebooted. I clean installed and started everything over too.
Plus so far battery seems a little worse..which has been reported across the board on G3's running stock LP
How To Get Viper4Android Working On 5.0.1 D851 (My Experience)
As the title states this is how you can get Viper4Android soundmod working.
·Download and install the Viper apk for 4.4/5.x you can choose version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4(I have a modded version called Lolliviper) (Not my work, you can google it).
·Download and install SELinux mode changer from the Playstore.
·Open Developer options under system settings and uncheck "Use NuPlayer".
·Open SELinux mode changer app and change to permissive.
·Open Viper and install your prefered driver (I use Superior quality).
·Reboot
·Upon reboot make sure SELinux is still set to permissive.
·Open Viper and enable.
·Open your music app and select a song.
·Open Viper select menu and the driver status. You should have all YES.
I have tested this on Google Music and the stock player. There are a lot of guides out there for this. Most suggest flashing libs and build prop tweaks. None of that was necessary for me. This is the exact way I set it up.

Nothing. Loss of features, HIDEOUS iOS color scheme. Notifications on the lockscreen can now be either Google Now style cards or nothing. Can't simply allow notification icons in the notification panel to be visible on the lock screen.
Custom launchers can no longer change the number if homescreens, apps like Tasker can no longer toggle connections. And the toggle for mobile data is now three menus deep.
I didn't want to upgrade to Lollipop but since AT&T pushed it OTA, I didn't have a choice. Several times throughout the day, I told it "no, I don't want to install the update." So it waited until I was asleep and did it anyway. Now I'm not only stuck with TouchWiz but I've lost the ability to use Tasker to make it bearable. Done with Samsung and done buying anything from the carrier.

"Way better" is (imo) a dramatic understatement. Until no, I've been absolutely in love with my Samsung devices. The TouchWiz version of Lollipop has solidly convinced me to never buy another. It'll be Nexus for me from now on and if Samsung does another round of Nexus, I'll skip it.

Wut??
For me, Lollipop is smoother/snappier. Games are running smoother and barely any lag. Web pages scrolling is smoother too on the built in browser.
Battery life seems to be the same. Some new features and animations are added and now you can pull down notification panel at the lock screen.

Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?
I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.
Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I used it since 12 september. Yes, good launcher, but I installed it as apk, so google now doesn't work.

I think i can live with a few bugs. What about the more important things like battery life and performance? How do they compare to marsmalow?

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.

For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.
After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone
It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.

Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

It also works on any screen and app. Software number varies, though.
Works with motion launch turned on or off.

Viper10 has had that for a couple of months now. It's not the first time that HTC has had "inspiration" from what custom ROMs are offering.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

Sounds like a nice bug though, how do you do it again? I'm on the same software and it's not working for me

I don't know. It randomly appeared.
But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Maybe it's something related to an updated of such launcher?

Thing is, it works on any screen, any app. I'd tie it more to the Lock screen if it only worked there, but nope. Works everywhere. I can record a video to prove it.

We have that feature in our rom.
I stumbled across this earlier in the week when I disabled the stock locksceen. It's a nice unexpected feature.

Anyone successful with getting this to stock rom?
I have only tried some apps but don't work
Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.
I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?
Question: how do I disable this feature?

settings > system > gestures
EDIT: That's where to do it on the Pixel devices. I don't remember exactly where on the HTC 10, but it should be something similar (my 10 is dead now, so....)
