[Q] Help: Android M8 Viperone

Lockscreen:
You can change it to the AOSP lockscreen in the Viper tweaks and see if you like that (look under the lockscreen section)
I believe you can already access the notification bar while one the lockscreen unless changed in viper tweaks

Homescreen:
To have a windows tiled homescreen you can try Launcher 8
Google Now Launcher Cant download from the play store and have to download the apk, and install and keep it updated yourself....
You can remove The blinkfeed page but i do not believe you can replace it... Not to my knowledge
To disable widgets just delete it off the homescreen ... hold widget and drag to top

Notification Panels:
There aren't many ways to change the notification panel. But you can look in the Viper Tweaks and change what you want in there.
Music controls can be used on the lockscreen and notification panel, other than that Not quite sure

Battery
My phone usually lasts 24-48 hrs with texting and social things. be sure to use the power saver setting under battery in the settings. It helps a bit
I'd leave all that alone and stock. 1ghz cpu and ondemand govener. This phone is powerful and doesn't require 2ghz

Other:
I dont believe there is any one sense for dual app things... maybe someone else can come by and answer that
There are no music enhancements on the htc one m8 its just whats already there (I may get corrected) But I use power amp to tune my music how i want it. The audio is nice on this phone already. If you need a music enhancer check out Harman/Kardon mod Make sure you are S-off to avoid problems... S-off ing doesnt take that much experience and it self explanatory! Its good to have !
Not sure why you would want to be switching... but you can turn off LTE by going to setting and clicking on Mobile Data (not the on/off switch) and network mode and changing it that way or go into Venom Tweaks and the misc options and click phone info and there is a pop down menu with a bunch of options
Activator?
Not sure if you can switch the home button but you can go into Settings>apps>All and click Google Search and hit disable and if you ever want it back just go back to it and hit enable

I hope i help a little ! Have a nice night!

Hello,

Thanks for your answers bilbox...but that stuff I already know.

But more technical stuff.

Tried AOSP lock screen from viper tweaks...its okay but don't see a camera shortcut like it should be.

notification panel I find can only be access if ur phone is within the time period set by the auto lock.

Notification panel tweaks are still very limited - and doesn't look as nice as iOS. No blurred translucency? and control center access with unified music controls? Some easy access widgets would be nice.

Launcher 8 I know but haven't tried...dunno how comprehensively good it is at mimics all features of home screen.

Widgets I know how to remove but is there a way to temporoarily disable for saving ram and battery?

Also can u have unlimited home pages? If no blinkfeed mod replacement that would be awesome mod request idea! Wouldn't it be great to swipe to have instant Facebook/messaging?

Probs have no choice but to tone down CPU settings for stupid battery.

How bout tweaks for auto switching mobile signal off while WiFi is on. I have a basic tasker set up but tasker says it has can't control certain settings aspect unless "rooted" which I Am!

Anyone can help answer other queries I have would be fantastic!

Perhaps for your lockscreen try an app like widget locker...Lot of customization there once you get the right widgets. You could use Zooper or UCCW to create your own widgets as well.

There are good amount of notification panel tweaks in Venom Tweaks. That combined with Statusbar themes in the Hub should give you all the customization you would need.

What exactly do you think disabling widgets would save for battery life/ram? Probably better off looking into what is draining your battery so fast if that is an issue. Use an app like Better Battery Stats and as far as ram goes the phone has plenty so really no need to worry about it. Android itself actually does a pretty good job managing resources.

If you setup wifi and leave it on it should auto switch between mobile data/wifi when within or out of range. Leaving wifi on should not drain battery to much if properly configured.

You can not have unlimited home screens. I believe the limit in Viper is 5 and that can be increased to 7 using the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module.

Notification pulldown tweaks aren't applying

I realize this is kind of an old thread.

I just installed ViperOne (6.2.0) on my HTC One M7 (AT&T). Android v. 4.4.2, Sense v. 6.0. I know this thread is for M8, but I doubt this would be an issue.

I've messed with the tweaks quite a bit and pretty much have everything the way I want, except for the notification pulldown screen. It has the weather and HEQS. I don't want these here.

I have Googled, read the User Guide on the Venom website, restarted the status bar on the phone, restarted the phone (quick and full), but I cannot hide the weather or HEQS. I tried the suggestions on the User Guide to make the notification area look more like stock.

Am I missing something? I very well could be.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Homescreen
