Important notes:

1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:

• Press the "Thanks" button.
• Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
• Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
• Advertise my work to your friends.
• Rate my thread with 5 stars.

Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!​

2. Sharing policy

This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:

• Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
• Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
• Give proper credits for what you used.
• When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
  obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:

• ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
• Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
• Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!​

3. Support

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

4. Signature banners for users

Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.

• Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
  Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
  Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
  What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.

Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

Sense 6 Toolbox

Sense 6 Toolbox
by Mikanoshi & me

What is Sense 6 Toolbox?
Sense 6 Toolbox module contains a large variety of mods that will improve almost every aspect of your Sense device. You have to have Xposed installed to use these mods. For more info about Xposed refer to the original thread.

A note about compatibility. We develop the toolbox on ARHD on the HTC One M7 and M8. That ensures that every mod is compatible with ARHD. We can't test the mods on every other ROM. But as long as the ROM is near stock without deep changes, it should work there too. For the best and most complete experience I recommend using ARHD.

Which mods are included?
For a complete list, please head over to http://sensetoolbox.com/6/modslist.

Here is a summary:

Interface mods

• Transparent statusbar and notification drawer
• Center clock, AM/PM removal, traffic meter, horizontal EQS
• Gestures to manipulate recent apps and additional information about each app, AOSP styled recents
• [Sense 6] Custom color themes for every app

Statusbar mods

• Icons by vomer (CleanBeam)
• Customizable color themes for all new statusbar icons
• Ability to hide icons

Sense mods

• Transparency for many UI elements (dock, clock widget, app drawer, folders, etc)
• Infinite apps in folders, 7 home screens, home popup menu, more grid options for homescreens and app drawer
• Actions for vertical swipes and shaking on homescreens, horizontal swipes on dock

Messaging mods

• Wake on SMS, increase MMS size
• Replace delivery notifications with toasts
• Increase MMS size

Controls mods

• Volume2wake
• Activate flashlight on power long press
• Bind actions to hardware buttons (Back long press and swipe up from Home)
• Bind actions to volume keys for camera and music playback controls
• [M8] Smaller softkey bar

Various mods

• Advanced Power Menu
• Show more information about installed apps and apps that are being installed
• Improved screen locking and unlocking
• Hardware buttons backlight control
• Large caller photo in dialer and on lockscreen during calls
• Disable unwanted notifications and confirmation dialogs
• On/off screen animations (Fade, CRT)

How to use the Toolbox?
First you must have Xposed Framework installed (more Info here). After that enable the Sense 6 Toolbox module in the Xposed Installer, set up the mods you like and tap 'Soft Reboot' icon to apply them.

Backup functionality
Toolbox supports settings backup and restore using default Andriod cloud capabilities. Enable backup in Settings > Backup & reset. Now every time you uninstall and install Toolbox its settings will be automatically restored. If you want to save/restore settings between reinstallations, use local backup on SDCard function (its button is next to Hot Reboot).

You're welcome

 

[shrome99]

Would this be compatible with both the MSM8974AB and AC model? Your blog post says that the chips are basically identical, so would they be able to use the same ROMs, kernels and recoveries?

 

[konsti23]

Welcome

Hey Mike

Great to have you here as well!! Now let's wait until the device is available... :good:

I hope you can get it soon!

big thanks mike...

As always, doing my best

 

[shrome99]

No, AFAIK the AC hasn't been released yet, it will arrive in mid April since that's when the M8 would release in Asia. But there would be no point in buying the AC variant if it would have no ROM support (for me at least)

 

[RychJ]

Mike, can we flash to M7 international?

HTC M8

So I am looking to upgrade to the new HTC M8, which version is better or would you choose to get? Contract phones, the one from HTC unlocked, or the GE HTC M8? There are so many choices, I know that going the route of the newer NEXT program is something that I dont want so looking into getting either the Google Edition or the HTC edition, thoughts?

Thanks

It's very possible that one kernel supports both chipsets (like it was with HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE)

No, you can't! I will post M7 port soon.

I would suggest common, sim-unlocked (carrier-free) international WWE version with .401 software on it.

Mr Mike where would i go to find something like this? First international phone ever was my older Samsung I900 which was from Singapore. Awesome phone until it fried itself while charging...

Thanks again
