First off, I have created a task that shows a scene for toggling Wi-Fi, data and sync on/off. The issue I'm having is, when I'm in an application, IE: YouTube, and want to switch Wi-Fi on/off, I drag my status bar down and click the toggles there, but once I'm back on my home screen and open my scene, the toggle will say the opposite. How do I get the toggles in the scene to adjust accordingly? Mind you, I'm somewhat of a novice with tasker and doing any sort of coding or variables is beyond my scope at the moment.
Also, as you can tell, I'm a scene junky. So I am making application menus that slide out and displays my favorite apps in a particular category. Now, I want to share it with people, but they may want some other apps to show up in that list. Is there any way to make my scene customizable by other users?
And finally, is there a way to use finger (swipe) gestures to open a scene rather than just the accelerometer? It opens scenes way too easily against my wishes.
This is an unofficial directory for issues/features that we want to see fixed/added via ROMS or software updates. Simply post a request, and if it is appropriate and acceptable it will be added into the directory. This post serves as a place where DEVS can find an issue or feature and can... well... fix it! I plan for most of these to be at least partially exclusive to sense 6 and or the Verizon HTC m8. I will update the directory nightly
GUIDELINES*The issue must be something that more than one person can relate to.
*The issue cannot pertain to another app. I.E. if an app is crashing too much.
*K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid.
*Look before you post! I will update the directory and see if it's there. This will save us both some time
*Lastly off-topic posts or typo requests won't bother me the slightest, but just know your boundaries
*Please refrain from things that are basic in custom ROMS . These include but are not limited to navigation bar tweaks, and system ui visual changes
If you see a user post an issue that you know a fix for, give him a hand

This is getting annoying for me. The double tap to wake and the slide up to unlock is an amazing feature. But it's almost worthless if we can't use it when the phone is laying down. My phone is on my desk at work most of the day, and it would be great if I could just double tap to see what notification just came in.
I think it has to do with the g-sensor. When I first turned the phone on, the pop up menu said that the unlock gestures only work when the screen is being held in portrait mode. So I'm thinking that when it's laying down, the phone doesn't know exactly what orientation it should be in. I've found that even holding the phone upright just a touch allows the gestures to work fine.
Changing shortcuts of the gestures while the screen is off? For instance, swipe left while screen is off launches 'X' app...
Unlocked wireless tether. Get rid of the various wifi notifications. LED torch quick toggle.

When on a call, press power button to turn screen off, when call ends the screen turns back on by itself. Why? Idk but very annoying, only HTC phones do this!
If someone can tweak it to where when in a call the user manually presses the power button to turn screen off, the screen stays off even when the caller or whoever hangs up.
A feature that would be great for me is a quick toggle/widget to toggle the motion launch gestures. I have to go through all the settings menus every time I want to toggle it (which is only when I'm at work). When at work, my phone stays in my pocket, and I am moving around a lot, so sometimes my thigh will unlock the phone and open apps, along with draining my battery.
Changing images for navigation bar.

U WOT M8?
Just pointing out a few things:
1. As far as the WiFi notification, you can get rid of this by going to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced, and de-selecting the "Notify me" option. This is what I did on my previous phone (M7) and my M8, and since de-selecting that box, I've never seen the WiFi notification pop up.
2. The Wake Gestures actually can be used when the phone is laying down. This also annoyed me to no end initially, until I saw someone post that you can just move your phone slightly to make the wake gestures work. I'm assuming this works because it trips the internal movement sensor, which then makes the phone think that it's been picked up. The movement doesn't even have to be vertical; I just slightly move my phone to the side a bit, and it's enough to make the wake gestures work for me.
Email Widget for the native Sense email app...i cannot BELIEVE this was left out by HTC/VZW/whoever...WTF!
I'd like to be able to adjust the grid size of the home screens, 4 across is too spaced out, I like it lining up with 4 icons and app drawer icon at the bottom.
Also, as mentioned in another post, I'd like to be able to customize the keys next to the home key, i.e. move the back key to the right and replace the multitask key with the menu key etc.
ability to hide the standard soft buttons and replace them with LMT style popup buttons.
Ability to toggle individual gestures on and off. I'd like to have double tap to wake, but turn off swipe to wake. I end up waking the device with a swype simply by pulling it out of my pocket which I don't want.
Toggle automatic factory reset on 10 bad unlock attempts on and off or set the number of failed attempts to an arbitrary number.
Able to remove ANY of the always on notificatios. Alarm, keyboard, hearing aid boost, nfc, etc

I love the "knock on" feature, tho I agree, it would be very nice if it worked even when the phone is laying flat. But why is there no "knock off"? Don't they kinda go hand in hand?
Ability to have more than 10 alarms

Slide finger across statusbar to control brightness like Gravitybox (enabling in Gravitybox does not work on our devices).
Ability to display notifications from more than the stock HTC apps when using the Dot Matrix case.

I have found that tapping the screen 3 times (instead of 2) will usually wake the screen while it is laying on a desk. Just use a little bit of force on the first tap... It seems like an accelerometer needs to detect motion before the screen digitizer wakes up.
This would still be a nice feature request, though I have a feeling it won't be possible without having a significant effect on battery life.

Three taps with the phone laying flat has been working for me as well.
I would love to see a built in data transfer rate in the status bar like Android revolution has for the m7

I am using t-mobile version sony z3, which as known unlock-able. One thing I really don't like is that on-screen soft keys taking a big space when using apps. I have tried a few soft key toggle apps, like "all in one gesture", immersive mood", I had a ability to hide the soft keys when needed, but keyboard refused to come up when I wanted to type. It was very frustrating. The other thing I noticed was twitter stopped responding when tapping.
Well, all I want to say is that I hope Sony can build this soft key toggle functionality to its own system, just like LG G3. I also really hope I can have the back key to be on my right side, easier for me to tap.
Please support me if you also struggle with this issue if you also happen to have a TMOBILE version Z3. Hope those great developers can hear our voice.
Thanks
+1 I can't for the life of me understand why LG is the only ones able to realize it
I'm using All in One Gestures and yes they keyboard is the only drawback to this great app. However, if you're just gonna read content like news or blogs or whatever, then it works great, especially for Google Chrome. Instagram looks great in immersive mode too. Just swipe down from the status bar to enable/disable immersive mode. When you need keyboard just disable immersive mode with the gestures. If you need the soft key buttons when in immersive mode just swipe from the bottom.
Not sure if Lollipop would fix this problem or if Sony would implement such feature. Using the Xperia's 5.2 inch display to its maximum potential really does make a difference.

My need was for games. Like injustice. When I try to activate it just pauses the game so had to uninstall
Sometimes I'd need to quickly switch the global orientation to landscape and back. I hate auto-rotation as it's slow and often rotates unneededly with any phones I owned. The best solution would be a simple app/shortcut that would simply toggle the orientation between to states (eg. standing portrait-left landscape). I could then assign this app to hardware buttons, gestures or launchers.
I haven't found something like this until now - is there a way to do this now (Tasker task, Xposed module etc), or will I be able to write an app to do this - can the global orentation be changed programmatically?
Try this Ultimate Rotation Control = Here
Ultimate Rotation from Play Store is the best app doing this job
I'm sure many of you have used and loved the ability to do simple gestures with the screen off and have some customization action occur. Does anyone know if there is any app/rom/kernel that allows you to make custom gestures to launch an app with the screen off, or at least has a lot of predefined gestures with the ability to launch an app? Specifically what I am trying to do is export tasker tasks as an app, and then use the screen-off gestures to launch that task for things like turning on/off/dimming smart lights around the home. It is obviously much more convenient to draw an 'O' on the phone and have lights turn on instead of unlocking the phone and drawing on an app like Gesture Locker.
If u already export your task into an app, u can simply go to settings, on the screen off gesture theres an option "draw O" and choose ur exported app. I did this to command turning on and off my yeelight in my bedroom
