My wife has an original One S which was dropped in sink and now the capacitive buttons dont work.
Are there any roms that can show navigation buttons on screen as per Nexus devices?
And can I root and install rom without capacitive buttons?
Thanks in advance
Yes there is a rom with navigation buttons, it's twistedkat. I don't know if there is any other, i use twisted. And you don't need capacitve buttons to root. Just flash a custom recovery(i recommend twrp 2.7) and flash su binary. To be able to install any of kitkat roms you might need to update your firmware. If you have 2.15 hboot that means your firmware is up to date.

You can use any ROM you want, just install the Xposed Framework and GravityBox or XBlast Tools module. Both have the ability to add navigation bar to a ROM even if it's not there. Also most of the KK ROMs have the navbar option in settings (I think CM11 doesn't have it but not sure). TwistedKat, Beanstalk, IOAP, CandyKat, SlimKat...all have it
Thanks, will give those a try.
If she doesn't like aosp, is there a way to get on-screen buttons on sense rom?

As @Rapier already said, you can use xposed framework with any rom. That means u can use it with sense roms too. So i guess you should first give xposed a try

To be honest, I never tried Xposed with a sense-based ROM. As I know it is working, there's even a dedicated sense Xposed module called Sense 5 Toolbox but I don't know how the modules made for AOSP ROMs work on Sense. Theoretically if they're not conflicting with some ROM functionality, they should work. But I guess this is something you should try and see. Make a nandorid backup in recovery before installing those...just to be on the safe side
The only problem I see here is that Sense was made for HTC Phones. And ALL HTC phones had hardware buttons not on-screen nav bar buttons. The only exception is the newly released HTC One (M8) but that comes with Sense 6 and yes, that has on-screen nav buttons. So dunno if you will find a way to add that to a Sense 5.x
Hard brick
Attempted twistedkat install but had issues in recovery and think I hard bricked it
Details are in the emergency thread in case anyone can save me!

Thanks for all the advice so far
All good now
A decent charge allowed me to get into bootloader and flash the right recovery. twistedkat running well - on screen buttons
Wife test starts soon.....

Here's the Droid 2 multi-touch keyboard ported by invisiblek that I themed with the Froyo Stock keyboard. It should work on any Froyo based deodexed ROM. This will replace your stock keyboard so make a nandroid backup first. I'm also including the FRF91 stock keyboard. Both files are installed from recovery.
Thanks to invisiblek and enragedpaza for all their help and guidance.
Works great! Thanks for including the stock keyboard.
Great Job it works wonderfully. I do like the white one though. I use it on all my 2.1 devices!
I anyone can port it plain white that would be AWESOME.

Thanks. Much better than the white version. I appreciate it.
having a slow moment here so bear with me .. flashing this replaces stock keyboard .. i got that .. now op stated that he included the stock one also ..
so couple questions
1. if i flash this then flash the stock will i have both or will it just over ride each other
2. is there a htc ime port for froyo devices
thanks for the responses
never mind i used the search button and found my answers ..gonna flash this now
1. If you flash both, whichever you flashed last will take precedence. At the moment it's one or the other sadly.
2. Not sure, sorry
is there a way to install from sd using terminal?
Sorry if this has already been explained elsewhere but, what sorta additional functionality would this offer over the stock keyboard? What are some of the multitouch functions that are possible that become second nature through use of this it you know what I mean?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
any way to just install this without removing the original keyboard? guess this version cant just install like a normal apk or like the htc keyboard.

I was wondering the same thing, then realized that it would be better figured out if I just flashed the damn thing myself. I think the stock keyboard is kinda slow, but this keyboard allows me to type more quickly without having to utilize spell check as often. The only thing that sucks about this KB is that there is no customization such as turning off key previews or changing the vibration duration.
Other than that, I wish we had a fully working HTC IME with multi touch (maybe we do, I forgot).
apparently u can hold down shift to cap one letter like on a real keyboard, not sure gonna try it now
works great on leofroyo.
is there a way to disable the fullscreen UI in landscape like HTC_IME ?
Root Explorer
is there a way to install this via root explorer?
I am using the hd2 - with darkstone sense build so i do not have the option to flash via recovery.
hi all.... i have done my very first mod for our optimus one.
I did some research so i understood how to remap phisical buttons on our android device. One of the most important functions that my phone does for me is playing music, and i love dedicated media buttons. Cyanogenmod is an example of a rom that let you use the volume keys as media buttons but the thing is that cyanogenmod is still in nightly... Stock roms are the most stable for daily use but you cannot use the volume keys as media keys, and of course, cannot use all of the other custom features.
Thats the reason why i decide to remap the search key to a media key. I don't use search features on my phone, so the search key is basicly an unused button for me.
the remapped key is HEADSETHOOK. search key will work as that button.
tested on resurrection 2.0... should work on other stock 2.3.3 based roms
PD: i am not a developer. i'm just a curious guy :laugh::laugh::laugh:
EDIT: AS FitAmp suggest, i made a flasheable zip and a revert flasheable zip to come back to normal. ONLY WORKS ON AMON RA recovery. CWM and TWRP gives me status 7 with updater script. This zips has update (amend) script so it works on ra recovery.
the zips are attached to the thread
Would you be able to make this into a flashable zip? And perhaps, a patch to revert the changes?
I don't seem to use the search key either so this looks good for me as I listen to ALOT of music.

Hi!
I'm using xposed, added the Sense 5 Toolbox (2.1.1), has some great mods to customise the UI to your liking - haven't had any issues at all....
If anybody hasn't checked out Power Toggles, do it! Really handy for adding a toggle bar to the notification drop down, save using quick settings....

First time flasher here! I've just completed the install of tr1gg3r84's ONE-HYBRID and CWM
Since the rom didn't come with Xposed, I will try to install it on top of it. Will follow the instructions from here: Xposed original thread and then the HTC specific instructions.
Will report my progress

No, just downloaded and installed the apk. I'm s-off though.
I'm just unlocked and rooted, no S-OFF. Only installed the APK and I have no issues with the Xposed uninstalling upon reboot. I have rebooted like three times now and it's still install.
I can confirm. Xposed is working as intended
No luck with the HKThemeManager though. But I'm not surprised since it seems to be intended for AOSP based roms.
I've been using it since I flashed the Hybrid rom, works great.
it works in CM11 also. (FYI)
XPosed Modules that i use in my One Mini
I am using Stock ROM Kitkat 4.4.2, Sense 5.5. XPosed Modules that i use and working are:
- Sense Toolbox
- XuiMod (Awesome animation)
- Unicon (If you want to use icon pack, not free though)
- Ice Cube (Part of Mikanoshi's Ice Cave Sound Mod)
- Bootmanager
- Gravitybox (Well not all feature, Extended Desktop and Custom Navigation Ring target worked with a little trick, but that's all i need from gravitybox)
Sense toolbox is really useful, I now prefer sense to aosp roms

s-on, Android 4.4 with Sense6 (stock, rooted, xposed installed).
Sense6Toolbox installed.
The only tweaks I do are 'flashlight when holding the power button' and using the volume buttons for the camera.
Then I disable Blinkfeed,
and use root and TitaniumBackup to freeze a whole bunch of bloatware I don't want (google+, facebook, twitter, instagram, htc stocks, etc..).
And I don't think I'll ever feel the need to go without Sense now. Since it's now just a basic launcher it works fine, maybe even better than the modern Google Now launcher.
So yeah, xposed seems to work fine. Since I'm s-on and had a stock kernel it couldn't write itself to /system, to it created a flashable .zip to do so from recovery. This flashed (and worked) fine, you just have to pay attention where it is the file is stored on your internal storage (had to look a bit ).
i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking
Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
While listening to Pandora if my phone was to become locked, upon turning the screen on I used to see fullscreen album art from the song playing as my lockscreen. Recently all I see is the regular music controls and the fullscreen album art is gone, how do I get it back?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Well I tried all sorts of things to try but couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was a glitch or something? Or a previous version of Pandora that you had? Or a modified one that allowed full screen album art? I've only ever see a 1x4 below my clock on my lock screen.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Well I appreciate you looking into it, maybe Pandora got rid of it on the latest version.
You can enable the AOSP lockscreen by following the instructions here:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/activate-hidden-aosp-lock-screen-your-htc-one-m8-0154651/
You can use the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module to restore some motion unlock functionality, but it doesn't work great. If you want to go back to the HTC lockscreen then rename the file back to HtcLockScreen.apk and reboot.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

So on that page it mentions a kernel that can be flashed to restore the swipe2wake or knock2wake functionality, however I could only find a kernel available for the HTC One M7 and not the M8. Is there a kernel available for the M8 that will allow for these functions to work with the aosp lockscreen? I know about the Xposed route but I have tried to use some other modules a while back and got errors, had to restore a backup.

I haven't tried to restore that functionality with a kernel. I'm just using an Xposed module.
