Hey guys I have finally rooted and flashed my new HTC One S for T-Mobile.
I am running the CM 10.1 with the most recent Gapps.
Here is the weird predicament I am in which I have spent hours searching to no avail. Apps such as Play Store, Advanced Task killer and other apps that have a settings menu on the app home screen. It is not present to be able to adjust settings such as notifications.
If you go to your google play store for instance, do you see in the right corner the little menu button next to the search button that looks like three boxes stacked, I do not have it! just the search button. Any helpers? Maybe the app main screen is running off the screen due to app width any suggestions?

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.
slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!
Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.
Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.
Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!
So my Nexus 5 doesn't have the three-dot menu in chrome that lets you access incognito mode and history and settings and whatnot. I first noticed this when I installed PA rom but after factory wiping my Nexus and even upgrading to 4.4.3, Chrome still doesn't have the menu. My friend's N5 still has the menu key so I'm wondering is it because of some setting I did on my phone or is Chrome like that now?

I always use LMT launcher to open the Menu. Maybe PA ROM has a feature to show up the 3dots icon on the navbar.

Actually, I don't have PA on my phone anymore but Chrome still doesnt have the menu option.
EDIT: I had Pie control from GravityBox on the entire time with the software keys gone but as soon as I turned off Pie Control and turnen on the software keys again, Chrome has the 3-dot menu key. Is there a way I can keep the menu in Chrome while disabling the navkeys and using pie control?
EDIT2: I finally figured it out! I had to enable Force Overflow menu button in Misc. Tweaks in GravityBox.
I want to change the behavior of the long-press on the home button so it doesn't try to launch assistant. I'd like it to do nothing.
I tried disabling assistant, but this just displays an obnoxious banner telling me to turn on assistant.
I did find this app that allows you to remap the button to all sorts of things, but would prefer something that doesn't need all those permissions.
This is with 3-button navigation enabled as I'm using Nova Launcher on Android 10. Phone is not rooted.
[edit] and of course, I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Default apps > Assist app - change it to "None"

Only thing is if you use the "Squeeze" for Google Assistant it disables that too. Which is good or bad depending on how you feel about GA. I just got mine today so I'm still playing with things. Might delete later,IDK.
After updating to android 10 reachability cursor stopped working are there any other alternatives?
Would like to know too.
I have started working on a "replacement" for personal use, perhaps someone else will find it useful. It's really barebones right now with no configuration options at all.
To get the app working, first you'll need to allow "Display over other apps" by going to: Settings -> Apps & notifications -> One Hand Cursor -> Advanced.
After that, enable the app's accessibility service by going to: Settings -> Accessibility -> One Hand Cursor service.
Once this is done, it should be possible to swipe from either the left or right lower edge of the screen to bring the tracker and cursor into the screen.
The source code can be found here.
It doesn't work very well with the new navigation gestures in Android 10.
A great app.

It works great!
I use it in addition to the Fluid Navigation Gestures app.
I just installed it on my onePlus 6t and allowed Accessibility and Display over other apps. When I open the app, it is stuck on the Home Screen, I suppose, it says "Hello World", a pink play button in the right bottom corner. Could anyone help, please!

You don't have to do anything else than enable display over apps and then accessibility and it just works.
From the sides you can swipe and point anywhere on the screen.
Opening the app is useless.

Do try and get it up on the Play Store. It's fantastic having a one handed cursor again. Thank you!
Ur a genius, using with ROG 2 (Android10-Gesture Nav)
This app made my life so much easier as I have a big phone, maybe some feedback for upgrades if ur open to hearing;
Make cursor able to do gestures like scroll through I web pages eg. (Swipe)
Also being able to access notifications menu would be good, as cursor disappears for me once it passed top area of screen.
& Maybe a colour change for trackpad thinking maybe white or grey sort of classic look.
My Workaround:
(I know it doesn't work the best with gestures Nav enabled but I think I can get the hang of it+back is to swipe L/R but when I use your app I only need tap bottom L/R of my screen to show trackpad) + (I added to my start-up menu on phone)
Many thanks for sharing :good:
I think you made a really good app man, congrats.

If you tap twice on the notifications bar, it expands notification and quick settings.

Has anyone got this working on a OnePlus device? I have enabled draw over other apps and accessibility but I just cannot get the cursor show up anyhow.

Sometimes you have to disable and enable these more than once to make it work.
I just released an alternative to that app, you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcursor
Thanks!
Hello,
I don't know if you will be able to help me because I have the impression that the factory rom has some gaps.
My Dragon Blaze game launches in the background upon startup / restart. Yet I have checked many times and no applications have an automatic launch. In addition to that, I am unable to close the app when I press the Recent key. It remains locked with the padlock. If anyone can help me that would be nice.
I added 2 photos.
Thanks you.

1. What are you using to check autostart? Is it a built in feature? It can be problematic to limit what autostarts on some Android ROMs.
2. Apps with padlock will stay in recents list, that's a feature. Try to hold/swipe from recent menu, should be possible to unlock it.
It autostarts because it is locked. You can try long-press on the app icon while in Recents and tap on Unlock or something like that.
Thank you, I have to find a solution. When I long-press on the app icon while in Recent, I scroll to the down for unlock/lock the app.
But I don't know why the app automatically auto-start and lock at the restart.
