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

Pixel Pulse can turn your Ambient Display into a Pulsing display that activates when you have notifications available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
The free option uses a branded icon and repeats the title and content of your actual notifications. The paid version adds the ability to use the default apps icon and colors, override colors, and have swipe and tap actions.
You can also replace the double tap to wake with the scrolling pulse, which is my favorite feature. Just be sure to turn off Google's double tap to wake.
For it to work you need the following settings:
Notification content shown on the lock screen
Always on display: OFF
Wake on new notifications: ON
Works on Samsung SM-J500FN running [OFFICIAL][ROM]Bootlegers ROM Pie for Galaxy J5 [SM-J500H/F/FN/G/M/Y]
If I power on the phone and leave it, then the app does not work, but it does work if I unlock the screen once after power on.
Thank you for this app, it really makes a difference to phones without notification leds

Android doesn't start any apps until its first unlocked after a restart. Not even third party messaging apps.
I really only want it to emulate an LED notification light while the screen is off. I've tried multiple 3rd party apps from the play store, but none of them work correctly, and when I looked for the Always-On-Display manually in System Settings, its not under Display or Lock Screen. Searching also comes up with nothing. Am I crazy? One of the selling points of this phone was AoD (like Pixel 4, and 3a before it) but I'm not finding it.
It took me a bit to find it on my wife's new 4a, but it's Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen display/Always on.
ETA...Ha! I never remember there's a search box at the top of Settings. I typed "always" into it and it immediately shows the "Always on" setting.
Thank you! This helped me track it down. Apparently the setting is hidden unless you have a lock screen set up, despite the fact that it works without a lock screen. That's also why it didn't appear in my search results. If you want an Always On Display but no lock, you have to enable Swipe to Unlock, enable the "always on" setting following your menu path, and then turn off Swipe to Unlock. Thanks Google ?
I bought a new phone, that comes with Android 12, it has an amoled display (moto G42), but notifications keep waking up the screen (the always on display). Before updating the OS there was an option to disable that and it worked, after updating the option is gone, and it's annoying the hell out of me, it even wakes for silent notifications, does anyone know how to disable that?
I've rooted the phone in hopes to enable doubletap to wake and disable completely the AOD but the kernel does not support it.
TIA
maybe open this in your devices Xda section?
Hi,
I have been occuring a problem for a half year now or so. After a major update to new version of one UI (4.5) my on screen notifications are not working anymore. I can see only small red dot and need to swipe to see the noticifations.
I did follow bunch of instructions how to enable it back... paired and unpaired phone, got a new phone, try enable/disable all... Yet still same result: all I can get is only red dot (screen indicator) and then I need to wake up the display and swipe to read notifications.
My setting in galaxy wear app for notifications:
show notificitations even when using phone
notificitaion indicator ON
read notifications aloud OFF
show details ON
turn on display ON
allow for new apps ON
Is there any way to enable again something like "wake up display upon receiving new notification and show it on screen"? Or any idea why is it not working anymore? Could it be watch face problem?
thanks.
I just found out recently that after switch to ring mode from vibration mode it started displaying messages again. Please check and confirm if its the same or i tinkered something else....
