Alright so, I haven't the slightest clue what caused this problem. I just happened to have rebooted my phone into bootloader mode as a way to ensure something I did didn't get transmitted when I re-enabled my Wifi which I happened to have disabled before rebooting and then re-enabled afterwards.
Anyways after I press reboot from the HBOOT menu, when my phone booted up the motion gestures would not work and I had an AOSP lockscreen...(take note im running ViperROM 1.8.0 on 4.4.3 firmware) oddly enough this isn't even enabled in the Viper Tweaks or any other tweaking apps I have. Soo why do I all of a sudden have these? It's as if I'm on an AOSP ROM but with Sense and a non Sense kernel? Even though NOTHING has changed today?? I haven't even been on my phone hardly at all besides that...
Why and how would I fix it?
Edit: Ok the tap to wake and swipe to wake actually work but double tap to turn screen back off is blocked because of the way the AOSP lockscreen functions. Swipe to shut screen off still works too. I just can't figure out how to remove this lockscreen

The thing is..I already have that for some odd reason? It's right here and I never had this before either, it just randomly appeared and wanted me to update it a few days back. Strangely enough it was right after I downgraded back from 2.4.0 Viper ROM to 1.8.0 with a Nandroid. Should I just restore the Nandroid again*? it's literally exactly the same as this, I was gonna do it last night but it was far too late and I was tired.

Well I figured out the problem. When I restored it it was indeed solved or so I thought but I noticed the update was still available in the Play Store so I decided to back the original HTC LS in Titanium Backup and update to it. After having updated and rebooting I ended up with the AOSP lockscreen again, restoring the app in Titanium and rebooting again resulted in getting the original back.
Perhaps they intended this? Maybe it's their new lockscreen just with some faults, one being double tap to sleep doesn't work?

So, about 2 or 3 days ago I downgraded back to Froyo from the latest Gingerbread leak (too many bugs.) I did so with GTG's Ulimate unbrick, and then I flashed the pre-rooted/ pre-CWM stock ROM to it. I updated to the latest UCKH1 to be up to date, and then I restored a backup I made in ROM Manager a few weeks back. After that, I restored all my apps with Titanium backup. Now on to the issues. First time around my phone literally crapped out software-wise. It was literally force closing everything, texting wouldn't work, the Advanced power menu was gone except for Power Off. That only started after a full day of use with no issues whatsoever. It was completely random. Well late last night, I factory reset and put my apps back on again. Well I woke up this morning to find that my phone's suddenly being dumb again. Except this time the only issues that I know of are, the Advanced power menu's gone except for Power Off, and the home button will not function AT ALL. If anyone has any idea what's going on, or how I can resolve this, please lend a hand.

It sound like every time you encountered a problem it was after restoring your app with TiBu. Are you just restoring apps or apps&data? See how your phone runs without restoring apps. Try restoring apps(without data) and see what happens, or just manually download apps again. Could be a problem with data from the apps.

I was wondering the same. I have indeed been restoring apps with data. Didn't want to lose my Cut the Rope progress But, they may end up being my problem. I've always gotten away without issues, so I guess it's about time for one to happen, haha. I'll try it out after work today and post how it goes.

Most likely the problem lies with the backups being from a GB rom and now you are trying to put them an a Froyo rom. Probably saves it differently or something.
They tell you "Not" to use the backups from Titanium as they can cause issues, I reinstalled back to Stock Froyo as well running the latest UCKH1, When you do the Update to UCKH1 my advice is to go to Settings: Privacy: and do a Factory reset to fix the clock problem The clock will appear screwed up and will correct itself even when it's on Automatic Mode. Otherwise all is fine downgrading from GB Rom. Install all normal apps as usual, Screw Titanium my advice is just save the .apk file for the app in a Folder on your External SD Card, that's my quick way of reinstalling all my apps back regardless of losing settings.
you can also use tibu to restore single apps with data, you can try the ones you want to save progress and see if it causes issues. just stay away from system apps
I've never ha a problem with TitBU, as long as I restored "missing apps & data" ONLY!
same here, regardless of android version or even restoring on a different device. the only time i have seen issues is when i accidentally hit restore all apps with data, including system apps. thats when i got the constant fc and crashing

You know, now that I think about it I actually made a backup from UCKJ2. That's more than likely my problem. Funny how I'm looking for all these complicated things and it ends up being something easy. Haven't restored anything, so I'll wait a day or two and see if everything stays like it should, and then I'll restore only what's needed to ensure it stays that way. Sorry it took so long to respond, had work, haha. Thanks guys all the responses were much appreciated.

I am having a major issue with multi touch, and it happened on stock so I don't think it's the rom I'm running (CleanRom Dev).
If I let go of my second touch, the screen loses the first touch location. So, if I am playing Minecraft or Shadowgun, I'll use one touch to move forward, that works, then I'll use one touch to move the screen, that works, but as soon as I let go of that second touch, I stop moving; even though the first touch is still being held on the screen. This happens in any game I play, even with the HTC Gestures off.
I saw a couple other people were having issues with multi touch, but I'm wondering if this is a problem with the kernel or the device. I saw that h8rift mentioned that the kernel's multi touch is a hacky implementation.
Any information is appreciated,
Thanks.
Hmm, appears to have gone away after powering off then back on after turning off HTC Gestures.
Edit:
Issue keeps coming back a few minutes after rebooting.

thats the same issue that we were having in AOSP ROMs which is weird since Clean ROM isn't AOSP based.
We fixed it in kernel source though.

Do any of you guys use WidgetLocker? WL is known to cause issues with multitouch; I use WL, and my workaround is to simply disable it, turn my screen off and on, and reunlock with the stock launcher and multitouch works in games again. Then I turn it back on when I'm done.
I use Holo Locker does that cause issues?

Hi, i am having the same problem that described in here but with a twist,
i noticed on my HOX on "HTC gestures" check button, it behaves the opposite from what it actually ticked.
I factory reset the device, the problem solved although the "HTC gestures" check button still behaves the opposite, after a while (hour or so) the problem with the touches repeats. i test it with the Multitouch Test app. (the only app installed).
I haven't rooted or changed the rom on the device only updated it with the official updates. last update on November, 4.1.1 , but it was great since so i don't know what triggered this.
please help...

GOT IT. :silly::silly::silly:. (after alot of factory resets)
The trigger of the bug is If you select:
Personolize -> Lock screen style -> No lock screen
Try it.
you want to uncheck HTC Gestures. it is used for another purpose not what you think it is only used for when your phone is connected to tv.
My phone is rooted and I have Jelly 'beans' ROM installed. Everything was going well (been running for a week) until I installed ActiveNotifications (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications). I'm not stuck on my lock screen and the touch screen does not respond to unlock it. There is also a hand icon in the status bar that I've never seen before. I can't (as far as I know) use adb to uninstall because the phone is not in USB debugging.
Any thoughts short of wiping and re-installing the ROM?
TIA

Yeah, neat app huh? I did the same thing myself. I think to use it you have to have a PIN unlock. Anyway, if you can pull down your notification shade, go into settings and uninstall it. Also if you have no security set for your lock screen, try to call your phone or send a text, something that will immediately get you into the main UI, then uninstall it.
Power it off the press at the same time power>home>vol up and boot into recovery and reflash the rom..

Maybe consider restoring from your most recent nandroid? I know that it's losing some progress, but you might be able to save yourself some time. Short of that, I think you'll need to re-flash your ROM, unfortunately.
I've been in situations like this one before, and that's the big reason why I've made it my standard operating procedure to maintain two backups: one for pre-flash and on stable post-flash for every new ROM. It's been helpful so far (in the extremely limited experience I have with custom software on my phone).
I'm going to wait just a bit to see if anyone else has some great suggestion, but I think I'll have to re-flash (after I finally got my home screen the way I want it). I do have PIN lock on. Can't pull the notifications down. With the ROM I'm using the AOSP lockscreen and I when you touch the circle to unlock none of the icons show.
Not a happy camper

Try to hit the menu button while you're on the lockscreen, sometimes that'll bypass the lock screen.

After wiping and re-installing the ROM (several times) I think I may have found the culprit. My phone suddenly thinks that my 32 GB external SD card is bad and is stuck in a fsck. If I put the card out everything is happy. Time to backup the sdcard and reformat.

Negative. Sounds like sometime is buggy in the fw, or possibly damaged screen/flex cable thats capturing raw data instead of the signal being sent to it. I work in a cell repair shop, and it's quite amusing when iphones do it.

My first guest was something funky in the FW as well. I have a fresh clean backup of the OS, and will try flashing that tomorrow. The display has been replaced, and the cable definitely attached securely. I'll save the safe mode option to last.

Just out of curiosity why would you revert to a backed up OS before trying safe mode when it's as simple as a couple button clicks and easily restored to default boot-up. Time to safe-boot, test, and restart would probably be shorter than time spent to revert to an older backup, but your call there captain. Hope it's just a FW issue, should keep me the thread up to date if you do find a solution though

I guess I knew a lot less about safe mode and I thought. Could this be something to deal with the dream state option of this phone sleep mode? I'll probably give safe mode a try when I get home.
Ok, in safemode, MotoLauncher was in perpetual FC action, I couldn't do anything. I've recently noticed that some settings in Lux auto brightness were changed. Put it back into normal mode, flashed a clean, fresh backup of the OS. All seems fine, now.

Oh well I'm glad you figured it out. The default launcher shouldn't FC anyways, especially under safe-mode, but it's an easy way to figure out that a faulty OS may be the cause.

As a follow up, the (red) flicker does come back after a short while. I have suspicions because I noticed with sub-zero Lux settings, it happens, and with dialing it up past zero things calm down, but not 100%. Yeah, I was shocked about the stock launcher perpetually FCing. I haven't checked it with a wholly clean re-install of the system only...project for a rainy day. I did check it after making the stock launcher the launcher of choice, still FCing.

Hey all,
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the lollipop update that just got to our Verizon variants of the One M8. My phone is completely stock, has never been rooted or s-off. I got the lollipop OTA update yesterday and after 45 mins of installing I couldn't wait to see how lollipop would improve my user experience on my phone. Short answer: it didn't AT ALL. The long answer is written out below.
1. Notifications
I don't really like the lollipop update to the notifications bar (1 swipe for notifications, 2 for settings) but its really just personal preference. However, with the update, you can no longer check your notifications directly from the lockscreen. You can't even see the icons of the new notifications at the top without unlocking your phone.
2. Lock Screen
Lock screen widgets are gone with the update. You also no longer have the option of swiping to the left for BlinkFeed, now its just a straight unlock that brings you to the page you last had open. No way to get to the homescreen directly like earlier. Now what the update did that really pisses me off is that you can no longer control your music from the lockscreen. With KitKat, you could skip tracks, and pause the song directly from the lockscreen. Now with the update you can't do any of those. You can't even swipe down from the lockscreen to see the media playing. Literally all you get is the album image of the song playing on your lockscreen. Yeah, just the image, you don't even get to see the name of the song playing.
3. Longer Boot Time
The boot time is longer now. Also once I get past the HTC and Verizon logo's while booting I get a dialogue box that says "Android is upgrading" before it goes to my homescreen. I'm not sure if this the case with everyone but it has happened to me everytime I reboot.
4. Just general unpleasantness
Recent apps takes longer to show all apps (I use grid view). Its quite minor and only noticeable if you compare it with a phone on KitKat but its still annoying. The Google Play Services update was also really annoying and it made my phone hang while it updated. The update also removed the World Clock Globe feature which was kinda cool, especially when I traveled. Again this is minor, but the update should improve the user experience not remove existing features.
Anyways, this is just my take on the lollipop update and it could be different for everyone. I, for one, am seriously considering downgrading back to KitKat (if its possible yet). I really hate it when an update takes my device in the backwards direction.
What did you guys think of the update?
I haven't had any issues with Lollipop on my M8. I've been running Lollipop on my Nexus 7 for months, so I'm already used to it. After getting familiar with it, I prefer it to KK. The slow boot time is probably due to the fact you has "fast boot" enabled on the previous version of Android. HTC has removed it from Lollipop.
UPDATE:
Going to Sound & Notification > When Device is Locked > Show all notifications fixes the notification grievances that I had listed.
just_lou,
I don't think FastBoot is the issue. I had it disabled when I was running KitKat. The issue is the dialogue box of "Android is Upgrading" that still shows up (I just rebooted to see if it shows and it did). I'm not sure if this will go away after a while or not.

If you are showing this repeated it means you either have an app installed that isn't art capable or your cache is corrupt. Backup and factory reset. You should not see that message on every boot.
Still think 4.4.4 is wayyyyy smoother than 5.0. Visually.... 5.0 is nice but its only a few you touches. I'm not impressed. Waste of an update. I'm on 5.0 ROMs which help but I miss my 4.4.4 snappiness lol.

ok I thought it shouldn't appear every time. so I went ahead and factory reset my phone after checking to make sure a backup was present. the most recent backup was about an hour before I updated to Lollipop, so I thought it would be fine in terms of having all the essential data. I used HTC Backup for the process.
Now after the reset, HTC backup can't find the backup when I click "Restore from cloud". All I see is "none" under the "Restore from Backup" option. Now I know for a fact that the backup file is saved on the cloud, I used Google Drive.
Is the phone unable to read that backup because it was done when the phone was running KitKat? If so, then begins the long task of restoring everything one by one.....

No that should not be an issue. I have used it forward and backwards. Open play and then go back to HTC backup. Possible it's not looking in your Google account at all yet.

I opened the Play Store and tried again. Backup still didn't show up. Then I deleted all the accounts on the phone and re-logged in. Still didn't show up. I went ahead and did another factory reset, reinstalled the HTC backup apk, logged in and opened the play store and tried to restore again. HTC backup still didn't find my backup. Then I double checked to make sure that I was using the right account with which I had done the backup. After confirming that, I tried once again deleting all accounts and signing in again and still nothing.
Finally, I tried to sync the account manually and then try. Still nothing.
I have used HTC backup in the past, and it worked fine to restore everything. Just this time it isn't.
Is there anything else I can try?
You know you can swipe right when locked and screen off to get blinkfeed right? Just have to decide now before you turn on the screen if you are planning to go to blinkfeed I guess.
I get my audio controls for Spotify on the lock screen too... With controls to play, pause, next. Just double tap the screen.
The grid recent apps seems to take longer because it's multiple screens of recent apps.
Just a quick tip but you can access your pulldown quick settings menu with the double finger down swipe when the screen is on at the lock screen. Useful for switching to silent or airplane mode without unlocking or using the volume hardware rocker.
That being said, my battery life isn't so great anymore and my GPS is skewed now (I'm always about 30-45 degrees of in the direction I'm facing).
Instead of using that crap "blinkfeed" launcher use the Google Launcher form the play store.
