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

Hello, i'd like some apps to show their controls and some not, for example, an app for sound recording : i'd like it to show its control even if i'm using "protected" locksceen mode, which will basically remove all controls (sometimes even music players..)! Is there a tweak (xposed or else) to do that?

I got the oreo update two days ago and I'll be posting any eventual bugs and changes while using it. Thread will be regularly updated.
Changes:
Quick Settings Dropdown fully opens, showing all the quick settings. I believe this has been intentionally implemented since it happens when there are no notifications. With notifications there's one row and you can further pull down for the rest.
Adaptive icons: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive.html
sRGB and advanced Bluetooth audio Codecs in the developer settings.
Picture in picture mode. It's enabled by default and works flawlessly with WhatsApp video call and Google Maps. Haven't tested any other apps. (Only Youtube Red works with this mode the normal YouTube app isn't able at the moment).
Settings rearranged. Looks cleaner and easier to navigate through.
Ui: they changed the colors and the homescreen icons grew bigger but no major changes in the design aspects.
New system navigation options offering now one button nav controls. (Not sure if that was there before)
Some apps/games where added and can be easily unistalled.
Fixes :
FINALLY no more Touchscreen delay and better responsiveness. Touch is even more precise now. Had huge issues with the swipe to del feature of SwiftKey (5 out 10 times it wouldn't work) and games like table tennis work flawlessly. Very happy about this!
FINALLY I can lower the loudspeaker volume to an acceptable level cause the lowest setting on nougat was extremely loud. (the maximum level of the in ear speaker was less loud of the lowest loudspeaker setting)
The battery management has been changed and it gives more options for controlling which apps should run in the background and now it offers auto launch management. Works as it should since on the nougat build, Spotify would always run in the background even when there's no music playing (had to always force stop the app).
Bugs :
Android system keeps showing a notification bar and icon each time an app is running in the background. Although it's not a bug, it's annoying as hell and can be disabled by going in to the app settings and disabling notifications for Android system.
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.
Hi there, fearless Huawei rebels!
You know the problem: No notification LED - and NO really working and/or reliable solution; I tried quite some.
But there's that built-in Alway On Display feature showing time, battery level - and notifications in standby in a real reliable way!
And there's MASSES of different additional AOD choices to download, some for free, some for a fistful of cents.
But NOTHING just showing the notifications, ALWAYS accompanied with some time display.
I would be quite happy if I had an AOD showing the notifications only, I don't wish to see the time of day or date, I don't wish to see my battery level, I don't need music control (that's the job of the player app), I don't need weather forecasts - just the tiny symbols notifying me of new messages, just like the traditional LED. And if there's no notifications, just a plain black screen with no power drain and distraction at all. Life could be that easy.
Thus my quite obvious questions:
1) Is there any AOD contents to download showing just the notifications and nothing else?
2) Does anyone know how to create your own AOD contents? - As there are masses of downloadable styles, there obviously must be a way.
I would like the AOD to:
a) continue to display notifications after unlocking then relocking back to the AOD (like every other non-Huawei android phone)
b) add weather (as per Pixel)
c) add music control (as per Samsung)
d) remove battery %
