Is it me, or does... - AT&T HTC One (M7)

Highlight Video basically suck? It's a cool idea, but it's buggy as hell. I'm running rooted and the latest Android Revolution ROM, but Highlight still isn't working properly. You can choose content that you want in the highlight, but the software will not save what you have elected to use, therefore making the entire program basically useless.
Anyone else run in to this, or am I missing a way to save the content you've selected to use?

Probably a bug in the ROM. Works fine for me on stock.

Any trick to getting it to work? How exactly are you adding or deleting certain pics that you want, or don't want in your Highlight?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

rom bug. maybe

Let me clarify... Highlight itself works fine if I make no changes to the default pictures and videos that the software chooses, however, I cannot get the program to keep my changes when I add or delete certain pictures/videos from a Highlight. It allows me to check or uncheck pictures and videos, it just doesn't incorporate those chosen pictures/videos in the Highlight.
From reading more, I think this may be a known issue and not a ROM specific issue

Make a separate album for the pictures and zoes you want to use. Otherwise it uses all of the ones in the folder to fill up the 30 seconds if they aren't long enough.

So I tried to copy the photos to a new album, but there is no new highlight created. How does this work? I am running rooted stock rom.

When you go into "Event" view rather than "Album" vew, you will see the highlight video. You probably figured this out already.

Screen capture app for Atrix *Updated 9/14*

Hey guys,
I wrote a screen capture app that works for my Atrix since I couldn't find one that worked that was on the market. Here is the first version so I am looking for suggestions/bugs/improvements, etc.
I've only tested it on the atrix because that is the only phone I have, but if you guys could test it on other phones and let me know if it works or not on them, then that would be great.
Edit: Finally posting a new version. *Should* address most of the issues/requests I've seen unless I forgot something. Still haven't had a chance to test on any other devices but it will actually display errors now so I can see why the devices are failing.
Version:
0.6 - Fixed some bugs, screenshots should show up right away in gallery now, added an option to shutdown the services after grabbing the screenshot.
0.8 - Fixed shake sensor bug, added option to invert colors to fix colors for some devices, and service should stay on after reboots.
0.85 - Fixes for some crash reports. Better support for other devices.
Also, I finally added the app to market for those who want to get automatic app updates. I'll still post newest versions here for those that prefer to download from xda.
Market link
update: I haven't had time to work on the app at all lately so if anybody wants the source to fix any bugs or improvements then you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/mindphaze/screen-grabber
props!!! thanks a lot bro
Works great
+1 thanks.
Works great. I would like to see an option for the output folder.

so, what was the roadblock that was impeding capturing the screen with the actual programs? is it something tegra based? or was it something way easy? where did you find the information needed to make this?
Awesome app, and yeah, and output folder option would be awesome.
Nice app. After the app takes a screenshot, does it save to gallery b/c I can't find it for some reason.

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but when trying to read the framebuffer (/dev/graphics/fb0) directly I would get an error. Google provides /system/bin/fbread that grabs the framebuffer so it wasn't anything complicated to just call that to get the buffer.
Got the info from reading the tegra source code.
First bug I've ran into is it unexpecidently stopped running when I connected my phone to my computer in mass storage mode.

Disabling htclinkifydispatcher.apk

So I've removed the app but run into problems opening youtube links in 3 apps. They are stock browser stock messaging and Google Talk. Google Talk crashes after removing htclinkifydispatcher stock messaging just won't open links period. Anyone know which rom to copy these apps from or a way to modify these apps so we can get the normal android "how to process these links" action?

Be sure to go into manage apps, select browser, and hit clear defaults. Then, for good measure I restarted my phone. After that, you will get the option to select what program opens the links from then on.

Breaks Phone Numbers
This appears to break the ability to click phone numbers in e-mails. No apps open when clicked a phone number. I also don't see Dialer or Phone having an option to clear defaults.
Argh, this is annoying. HTC should really make sure the stock linkifier app is really detailed with its options and settings. It sounds like netierh the stock app nor root and removing it provides a good experience for linking. The only option is to load a custom ROM?
It seems like you'd have to replace any app that HTC modified to depend on htclinkifydispatcher.

[Q] Getting YouTube links to open in App

Is this pertaining to the "data tapping" patent that Apple somehow was awarded and does anyone have any idea how to make it work as previously intended and open in the YouTube app.

If you have root you can use a file explorer and rename htclinkifydispatcher.apk to something like htclinkifydispatcher.apkBAK. This will break a few things. You won't be able to open any links from the default text app, google talk will crash everytime you try to open a link, and you won't get youtube links to work in stock browser, but all other programs work fine.

Jesus Christ...I froze mine with titanium but YouTube still opens in browser. I will try it your way and see if I can live with it.
Why must Apple mess with HTC. I have had a Samsung Galaxy S and GS2 since the first Epic launched and this is seriously the one thing I hate about the EVO. Esp if I have 6 tabs open when I try to click a link.
On Viper also not that that matters.
Does any devs or anyone have any thoughts about reverting it back and having it be stable?
I would pay for the old way...I didn't always wanna use a certain app when hitting things and now I'm forced to set defaults.

Freezing doesn't work, I forgot to mention after renaming the file you have to reboot. Also make sure to clear defaults for the stock browser, and while you're at it, I suggest downloading ICS Browser+

If you use a third party messaging app it's fine. Honestly HTC just needs to add more options to their app associations. Sense ROMs from other countries don't have this problem so a custom sense rom using their apks would solve this problem.

[MOD]HTCLinkifyDispatcher Fix

Running a Sense 3.6 or 4.0 ROM and tired of not having a choice what app to use?
Sick of Apple and their patent infringement lawsuits?
This script will revert the workaround HTC put in place to comply with the ITC's order to remove the patent infringement.
This script makes a backup of your current build.prop, and then EDITS IT IN PLACE.
What does this mean? It means you can flash THIS file on ANY ICS 3.6 or 4.0 ROM on this phone and it will not mess up any tweaks your specific ROM dev has put in place.
Why is this important? There are a number of build.props edited with this fix (and others)...some of them are from the stock ROM and some are from various other custom ROMs. Simply copying one over your current build.prop could lose you important optimizations, or custom fixes your dev has set up. By flashing this script you keep those customizations and still get the benefit of having your choices back.
Instructions:
To tell if this edit worked for you, check in settings. If the app associations menu option is gone, then it worked.
You will need to clear defaults for specific programs in order to have a choice pop up.
Example:
If you have selected Chrome for your default browser in app associations, you will need to go to menu/settings/apps/downloaded/Chrome/clear defaults.
The next time you tap a URL you will have a choice of which browser to use.
Credits:
Thanks to iconeo for the original thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1693809
Thanks to Steal25 for the actual build.prop edits.
I am including two zip files. The first one will make the build.prop change to allow you to choose your own defaults.
The second one (HTCLinkify-revert.zip) will allow you to put your build.prop back to its default.
There are other build.prop edits out there and I will be creating ROM agnostic flashable zips for those as well.
Please let me know if there are any issues with this flash.
Good idea on packaging it this way it'll make it easy for those that havent made edits to a build.prop yet.
very good!

Right, that was my thought as well. Plus this way if a dev updates the ROM but doesn't add this fix in as a default, it's the easiest way to get it back.

Thanks. That was my whole point: I could see times where people would just copy over random build.prop that already had the tweak, over a ROM with a heavily edited build.prop and mess up everything their ROM Dev was trying to do...and then I thought of the poor devs trying to cope with figuring out random glitches due to build.prop changes and I thought...hey, let's make this easy for EVERYONE.
Now the users don't have to edit it themselves and the devs don't get stuck trying to figure random bugs out without knowing a user may have changed build.prop, or overwritten it.
Win for everyone.

Nope. This mod allows you to choose what app you want to launch when clicking on say a URL. This is the functionality that Apple claimed infringed one of their patents.
It doesn't have anything to do with 3rd party apps, aside from allowing you to decide which one you want to launch, either each time, or by default.

Deleting Verizon bookmarks

Has anyone found a working method to remove the Verizon bookmarks on the stock Rom? I used Bookmarks Manager on my Rezound, but it's not compatible with the DNA. Thanks!

If someone wants to test this... it "should" remove the stock bookmarks. It MAY reset you Sense setup so you might need to restore it after. I can't test this because I delete those bookmarks from my ROM. That said PROCEED WITH CAUTION until someone test it. Who wants to be the Guinea pig? Should work fine.
EDIT:
Tested and it DID NOT reset Sense. Checked my bookmarks and I only had google dot com. That is the one I left behind. It looks like it worked like it should.
EDIT 2:
Since this did appear to work I removed it. You would probably need to add that in before flashing the ROM.

I disagree, I like the stock browser better. My Nexus 7 came with Chrome on it and the first thing I did was load the stock browser. The bookmarks are read-only and can't be deleted in the manner you specified.
You need a writeable kernel to permanently delete them, or s-off.
Thanks for the reply, but that isn't correct. I am both S-OFF and have a writable kernel (elkay 0.95) and the bookmarks still cannot be deleted. They are somehow protected from deletion. I'm ready to offer a bounty to anyone that can get rid of these things!!
The only way I have found to get rid of them is by disabling the stock browser and grabbing a different browser from the store. I know this probably isn't what your looking for but this is the only method I have found to get rid of them.
