How come when I am connected to Wi-Fi, I still get the 4G icon next to it? Is there anyway to get rid of the 4G icon when I am on wi-fi?
Hi guys,
Taken some inspiration this topic and decided that I would have a little go myself. I have been playing around for a couple of days but this is the first attempt that I am happy with.
Highlights:
In essence I'm looking to be able to use my phone with one hand (thumb) comfortably and only be two / three presses away from any app.
Regards
Ravi
Taken some inspiration this topic and decided that I would have a little go myself. I have been playing around for a couple of days but this is the first attempt that I am happy with.
Highlights:
- Home screen setup with Nova Launcher 12x12 grid
- App drawer setup with 5x6 grid(one page)
- Combination of Zooper & Popup Widgets for Music and RSS
- Hidden widget over blue light for camera
- Various gestures including double tap for app drawer

Hi all,
Loving my new M8 and my first HTC device since I had a HTC HD back in Windows 6.5 times Sense really has slimmed down since I last used it and in fact I found it quite strange that I get a more sense like feel with my Beautiful Widgets on my Home screen then I do with Sense 6. The only thing I don't like about Sense is the fact I can't change the Clock and weather widget on the Lockscreen but that's a minor annoyance at most. Also although up to now all my Android devices have been rooted and run custom ROMs so far i really am not seeing the need to do this on the M8 and really can't see any advantages to running even a GEP Rom but then that's just MO. Anyway here are my screens,
First off the Lock screen which only manages to show off my wallpaper.

My Home Screen using Beautiful Widgets for the day and date which when tapped takes me to my calendar and the time which when I touch the hour takes me to Gentle Alarm and the minutes takes me to G-Mail. BW is also the battery level indictor and tapping it takes me to the battery usage stats. I'm also using Screen Off and Lock for easy turning off of the device and the other Widget is for Gentle Alarm showing me my next Alarm and also takes me to the app by tapping it and lastly there is 3G Watchdog showing my Data use.

This next screen has Smooth Calendar and Redialer

This next screen has Play Music and Song look up and then Bookmarks from Chrome

My last page is all Google with the search bar and Play Store along with Google Now.

I have also left Blink Feed active for now whilst I decide if I will use and keep it or not the only other app worth really mentioning that I have installed is Rotate which I install on all my devices as it forces all screens and apps to work in Landscape when put in that position.

16Here is my setup taken from my n5 and ported over to my m8: dpi at 400 and onscreen buttons hidden. double tapping the home screen turns off screen and locks phone.
nova launcher, zooper widget, popup widget, apw, folder organizer, simple calendar, simple rss, media utilities, eye in the sky.
all this in one clean home screen:
clicking appropriate shortcuts brings up the following popup widgets:
