Are you coming from OTA or Full ROM?

I'm sure this selection is located somewhere. By default, after a full wipe, the AOSP vertical quick settings is colorless. How do I make it where all icons have individual color. Please refer to the attachment for better understanding.

EDIT: I see now, so they are colorless by default. I will look at Venom HUB to see if I can find the one that matched up like the one in VenomTweak preview.

EDIT 2: I can't seem to find the one that looks like this View attachment 2764389? Anyone know?

Camera/Gallery

Hi.
Is there a way to link my stock venom camera app to custom gallery app, so that, when i use camera and want to check my pics, i can press on the Gallery(default icon in Camera interface), but it would open for example GalleryKK from PlayStore??

So with the info in my sig, what do I need to do? Do I need to flash the 3.33 fw? Which one if so? the 53? or 54..?

I need to relock my bootloader apparently?

You are good to go with your firmware you already have, no need to relock bootloader. Just enable the smartflash option in 4ext recovery so the boot.img gets flashed as you are S-on, otherwise you can use fastboot commands or the Venom kernel flasher found under downloads in the ROM thread. Backup your existing ROM in recovery and choose the Full wipe option when installing the ROM.

Cool. That's what I thought from reading here but I wanted to be sure. Thank you!

*edit* Really nice ROM tbh. Hours of customization ahead of me. Installation went without a hitch, though the initial 1st boot took 5+ min after the 2 reboots after exiting / rebooting from 4ext. Onto the main thread to give my thanks..

Hi good day to all,

I have playing viper Rom for few weeks on 5.1.0. Suddenly I can't turn on the XE or charge after I charged the phone at last night. I found 2 situations but no clues at all after searched all threads or posts (worrying the device is been bricked)

1. Hold down power for seconds, light of touch buttons keep blinking. Until I stop the power button, light blinking stopped

2. When I plug the charger to XE, I found the red light turning on for few seconds then off again, no more turn on.

***I have checked the battery, battery can be use in htc evo 3d!

You could try this, pull your battery out for 5 seconds, put it back in and boot up. Then goto Settings, power and turn off fast boot.

htc sense shortcut to app drawer

Is there any way I can make a shortcut to the app drawer. What I would really like to do is to hold down say the menu key and then the (customised) apps-drawer to appear. This would save having to go to home screen first.

 

[gemer45a]

I get this weird

"URL" is saved and "bugreport.zip" is saved

at random whenever I'm using the phone I have uploaded a logcat.txt on dev-host tmp_2014-05-29-15-59-23-554761046.txt - 616.20 KB I'll paste logcat.txt in pastebin.com also and post the link here.. Thanks

I thing the longpress function in the "tweeks-->buttons" page is what you are looking for...

But how do I get it to pop up the app drawer? There is no entry for that... is there a command or shortcut (activity) for that?

True... You got me there... Although I don't think that such an option is intergated into the ROM... Btw, why do you want that? I don't see any use of it... Anyway...

Weather clock in Appdrawer

Is there any way to bring back the weather clock to the app drawer for 5.2? I thought it was a neat feature and I actually downgraded back to 5.1 for it.

Also, pattern unlock grid does not show up at all when I unlock and I kind of just have to guess where the buttons should be. Help?

Can we post pic to instagram in current build ?
if i'm not mistaken in the past build we can't right ?

Network Signal problem

I have HTC Sensation XE. I changed several ROMs. I Love this one. But I am having Huge problem with network signal with every tested ROM. Sometimes I have 4 or 5 bars, but most of the time especially at my home (signal tower is 100m from my home that's not the issue) I have 1 or 2 bars and I lost connectivity in call or other side hear me like robot or not hearing me at all. Is it problem with the Radio (i have ver. 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M) or something wrong with the antenna sensor or something. Can someone please help me or recommend to me radio version.

i don't think that we can because now we are using sense 6 prism and afaik sense 6 doesn't have weather in app drawer
