• 
  
  Add gesture based lockscreen security.
  This adds the ability to us a hand drawn gesture as
  a means to unlock the device.
  In the case that the gesture is forgotton or not
  being recognized correctly, the fallback will be the
  same as when using patterns.
  
  Fix occasionally flickering music control widget.
  The problem was seemingly related to the player abandoning audio focus
  while the playback state was still set to 'playing'. In that case, the
  transport control was removed from the keyguard host because it had no
  listener anymore, but later was re-added due to isMusicPlaying() still
  returning true. Re-adding it lead to it re-registering with audio
  service, which cleared the display due to nothing being connected, which
  lead to the detachment listener being called again, which in turned
  closed the loop.
  While this may be a sign of a buggy player app (it should stop its
  playback prior to abandoning audio focus), this situation still should
  be handled gracefully. Fix the problem by simply reporting no music
  being played while no remote control client is connected.
  
  systemui: Add CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL permission
  * SystemUI needs to be able to list interfaces if tethering is in use
  and we ask for a second tethering path to be set up (BT+USB, etc).
  * Add permission to stop exceptions in the framework and enable
  tethering thru multiple paths
  
  FastScroller: Fix to use appropriate index
  Fix FastScroller to use appropriate index to determine the
  the position of a section while calculating the y coordinates
  of thumb. In case of last section, use totalItemCount to determine
  next section position.
  
  Fix typo in AlertController.java
  If whichButtons is BIT_BUTTON_NEGATIVE, the negative button should be centered.
  
  HALO colors: a lil improvement
  Shouldn't break themeability this time, the custom colors has it's own halo bg
  
  HALO Style revamp
  - speech bubbles are centered
  - number batches are roundand simplified, same color as in g+
  - markers appear as dots above the bubble
  - hiding and dimissing triggers text hints
  - couple of bugfixes
  
  HALO cleanup & better drawables
  HALO: make a trusted overlay
  HALO: Speech bubble, fix padding
  Revised new drawables for the bubbles
  HALO clearall-fix + dismiss icon
  HALO clearall/silence (STILL NOT READY FOR RELEASE)
  but working ...
  HALO new vertical gestures (NOT READY FOR RELEASE)
  itroduces step gestures
  -- Clear all notifications
  -- Clear current notification
  -- Hide HALO
  -- Silence HALO until woken
  
  Halo: tablet mode support
  
  Fix torch state for QS/Power Widget
  *Also add long press action for torch toggle
  
  QuickSettings: FavContact & UserTile: Open full contact page
  *QuickContact popup can only be used for phoning/messaging/emailing,
  which doesn't make sense when you're opening your own contact.
  Opening the full contact directly makes it easier to beam or share
  with other (one less click)
  *Also added this change to include FavContact
  
  Set foreground priority for shutdown receivers.
  *The broadcast of ACTION_SHUTDOWN has a timeout of 10 seconds. To
  reduce the risk of hitting the timeout and speeding up the
  shutdown sequence in ShutdownThread we set the priority of the
  BroadcastReceivers to FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND.
  We have seen that this change reduces the shutdown time when
  the system is under heavy load
  
  systemui: Add CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL permission
  * SystemUI needs to be able to list interfaces if tethering is in use
  and we ask for a second tethering path to be set up (BT+USB, etc).
  * Add permission to stop exceptions in the framework and enable
  tethering thru multiple paths.
  
  all upstream syncs
  
  sync'd CM's m7-common and m7-kernel latest commits
  
  enjoy!

NEW BUILD!!!

not a big update but a few things...

July.17.2013

• 
  
  Fixed SystemUI crash when disable GPU acceleration
  The designated logic should switch to SW Canvas render if OpenGL-ES 2.0
  is not available when GPU 3D core is disabled or non-existed
  
  HALO bugfixes
  1. some icons were overblown
  2. tasking meant having your thumb on the speechbubbles
  Halo: Fix icon position in tablet status bar
  
  FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK re-added to floating windows
  ActivityStack modified to not cancel results if window is floating and "new".
  
  PrivacyGuard: New icons close to AOSP style
  
  HALO Size
  Set size for custom bg as well. (HALO)
  
  Always prevent wake on home keypress when kl config does not contain WAKE
  http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/43124/ introduced a change in behaviour
  where the home key could wake a device even if the kl config lacked
  the WAKE option. This fix restores the original behaviour.
  
  Camera: fix focus hw key on focus mode other then continious
  
  Mms: switch inverted text color back
  it is not consistent that the sender text is now
  holo light blue dues that the entered text from
  the user is white. Switch it back to old behaviour
  so entered text color is the same like senders color
  and received sms color back to holo light blue
  
  enjoy!

Is there anything I need to do as far as cell signal is concerned when I flash? Since I've had the One my main rom has been Sense based, whenever I go to ASOP the reception/signal is always worse....and I know that the signal reading is different in ASOP so I've downloaded an app from the app store to give signal readings and its def lower than on a Sense rom. Any suggestions?

  Halo: Avoid showing Halo))) icons in status bar while added to Halo
  
  Port Date Format from Slim ROM
  
  QuietHours: Change Logic
  Makes sense to me that turning QuietHours
  on should TURN QUIET HOURS ON with
  default time constraints applied.
  I.E. QuietHours between 12:00am && 12:00am
  means QuietHours all day. Having to
  adjust end time to 11:59 is redundant
  and not exactly the clearest implementation.
  Especially when we have a QuickToggle that
  directly toggles the setting on/off.
  PS2: Vibrations as well.
  
  Kill floating activities running in the same thread when tapping outside
  This change makes all activities from the same app to be finished when we tap outside the halo window. Other apps running in different threads
  (floating or not) won't be finished.
  
  Proper security labeling of multi-user data directories.
  This patch covers 2 cases. When an app is installed
  and the resulting data directory is created for all
  existing users. And when a new user is created and
  all existing app data directories are created for
  the new user.
  
  Change DPMS code to accommodate enforce states on boot.
  We need to respect if setenforce (selinux enforce), setsebool (booleans),
  or setprop (mmac enforce) are set in the any of the init.rc files.
  This set of changes will allow the init.rc values to win over any
  potential device admin wishes.
  
  Restore support for labeling non-system apps based on their certificate.
  
  Hybrid Toggle: show DPI, layout, colors settings & app name
  
  Completely hide Halo))) icons while tasking
  - previous commit by BigBrother1984 stopped the highlighting of Halo))) icons
  this should remove them completely. Other status bar icons are still highlighted
  
  Halo: Merge new icons order in expanded Pie notification shade
  
  Gesture Fix v2
  - Add a buffer between the bubble and the first up marker,
  reduces sensitivity of UP1 gesture preventing accidental notificaion dismissal
  
  HALO first_start tutorial & gesture dead-zone
  
  HALO NEW ICON SET
  HALO dismiss/flip fix, clearall/last-notif-empty fix
  
  sync'd up with CM's m7 kernel commits and m7-common device commits (please check their github for changes)
  
  enjoy!

Just installed and it's very smooth. One thing I noticed was that there is a large space on my home screen above the clock widget. Is there a way to stretch the screen and get rid of that?

anything you can do about the search bar overlapping the top row of the call log and the contacts tab in the dialer?

edit: so i just flashed the latest 7/21 build and something's wrong with phone calls. i keep getting system UI has stopped messages. phone call seems unaffected, but notification bar goes away and the messages keeps coming. it all goes back to normal after i end a phone call though. here's a catlog. might wanna just scroll to the bottom

edit2: if it's worth anything, i made a back up in twrp and restored only data (not boot or system) after flashing the new build. dunno if that might've caused anything

battery life

I love this Rom and am wanting to make it my dd. However my battery life is just not good. Anyone have any success improving that aspect? Other than that, it's my favorite rom right now so thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Can some one provide an alternative download link that has resume support, for some reason my connection with download server(that the link is provided in the first post) keep disconnecting in the middle of the download. I've already downloaded 400mb but still I didn't get the full rom downloaded. May be a dropbox or some other servers.

Is there a features list somewhere I can read for the ROM, since I've never used the ROM's this is based on, so I don't really know what they have and I would rather just read a features list before I go to the trouble of backing up and reinstalling all my old apps and stuff.

 

[lilvietyao]

meh

How do i utilize the space between the status bar and the widget? i moved my widget as up as i possibly can, without removing the widget from the screen, on my htc one, and i'm kinda annoyed that i can't use that space. :\

PS: how do i change the color of the Wifi Signal and phone signal icons on the status bar?

What launcher are you using? If you're using apex launcher, it's in home screen settings and you can change the grid layout. For color stuff, check your aokp settings. Play around and look through all the settings. You'll find everything you need.

GSM Mode on the Sprint HTC One

Can someone confirm this ROM support GSM mode? I'm out of the country and would like a "senseless" ROM that supports the GSM functionality of the phone.

(Downloading now to check myself but curious as to if anyone is using it already)

 

[SkinnyBiggs]

I'm just wondering if this ROM is still being supported?
