[MOD] 4x4 widgets from One X Sense 5 rom - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Cross posting this from the International thread:
Guess the title says it all really.
As some of you are aware, HTC removed many of the full page widgets in Sense 5. However, they seem to have added most of those back in the Sense 5 rom just released for the One X. Amazingly, despite the difference in screen resolution, they all work on the One with little to no modding required.
I thought I'd package them up into a flashable zip, for those who want them.
You can get the download link and bug list on my International forum thread....sorry for the pinballing, but easier for me to keep an eye on one thread!

[Q] ADDing Extra SKINS to my sense thunderbolt rom

Can i add these 30 skins from this desire section of XDA???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
Or is the framework different??
I would like to be able to go to the personalize/skins section of ROM and be able to scroll through the different skins
Is this possible or will i mess up the framework if i install this zip???
are they not both sense 2.0 the desire and thunderbolt??
I am using one of these right now they all seem to work due to the new sense
You can add and use any of those. I have all thirty loaded and have tested them all. Currently i am using Acid Rosie and it works great.
Its a nice way to change up your launcher, I d/l them all today and (rooting again) and will put them on my TB.

lock screen work modding and ROM suggestions

Hi, just recently switched over to android after being an iphone user since 2007. So bare with me as I am learning the lingo and software. The hardware of the HTC one made me cheat. So here I am.
So.... This has been a very different experience from jailbreaks on iphone. So as of now I cannot really get the lock screen the way I'd like. The sense lock screen is not customizable like the stock android lock screen. And I have tried apps such as widget locker and then tried adding things on such as dash clock but things aren't smooth and some apps just don't work well together. Not all the functionality of dash clock will work within widget locker. And widget locker will show the default lock screen whenever I get a phone call....kind of defeats the purpose of having the app in the first place....
I tried the Cyanogen 10.1 rom but found I missed certain aspects of sense 5.... I like blink feed and the way the phone from sense is integrated. Android's stock phone app is bland and not that well integrated and intuitive IMO... Also the beats audio and zoe and camera features that made the camera and speakers great was missing... lets just say those tweaks make a huge difference in camera quality and audio quality that I could not replace with any apps.
So right now I'm currently rooted on Trickdroid version 7.5.0 with JB 4.2.2 and sense 5 on my htc one from AT&T. I flashed the tweaks package that came with the rom and installed the asop JB lock screen hoping I could add widgets to it and customize it the way I want. Unfortunately It won't let me do that with the ASOP lock screen either....I'm not sure why they added it with the rom if it doesn't do what it's supposed to? The tweak package itself is also having a weird bug that causes the status bar to have two clocks.
Anyhow I guess my question is..... is there a better way of customizing my lock screen or is there another rom that would suite my needs? And how would one go about uninstalling a particular tweak package?
Thank you in advance
No one?
I'd like to report the bug to the developers but I haven't posted up enough replies.
Any suggestions on a better rom? One with stock android but still retains the betas audio and htc camera tweaks?
You're gonna have to wait until the GE one drops for the stock with beats and camera. As for the lockscreen, you're not getting much mod wise. Also you can't just delete a tweak you flashed, you have to restore a nandroid you (should have) made in recovery.

The best piece of advice anyone on this (or any other) forum can possibly give you:
If you're going to be toying with the phone in the manner in which we do here, please please please make a nandroid backup. I'm asking for your own sake and ours. It's the best way to revert to a previous state your phone was in if you have any troubles.

Thanks for the response. I was afraid I'd have to wait. Do you think the GE rom will be available right away to non GE HTC ones or would we have to wait for a developer to mod it for use for us?
Hopefully we can just flash it as an ruu. When someone gets a leak or someone makes a system dump it should be flashable. If not it'll take a little moding which shouldn't take too long for a dev to do.

Sick and Tired of HTC Sense

Dear HTC One users,
I was one of the enthusiast who loved HTC Sense. But on HTC One, I am hating day by day. I can live with other problems but one with their lock screen is killing me. I can't use apps like DashClock widget or ActiveNotifications.
I want to ask you, is there an alternative to by-pass that lock screen ? I would love old-school default android lock screen.
If not, then what ROM are you guys using ? I remember reading it somewhere that CyanogenMod eats up HTC One's battery and it was suggested not to install it. I saw another ROM name as PAC, really liked it but i don't like the concept of tablet UI on phones.
What ROM would you guys preger.

Sounds like you're a perfect candidate to flash a Google Edition ROM on your phone. The newest version based on Android 4.3 just came out a week ago, here is a flashable stock rooted version. The Google Edition ROMs for the One are made by HTC directly and they give the look and functionality of an AOSP ROM. Since the ROM is made by HTC, everything works nicely (including Beats, camera and IR blaster in the newest 3.06.1700.10 build) and battery life is just as good as Sense, maybe even a tad better based on some reviews. There are also custom tweaked version of the Google Edtion ROMs in the International One section.

Most, if not all, of the ROMs from the International section work on all variants of the One (except for the CDMA/Sprint version) so you are good to go. You might need to put in the APN settings for your particular carrier if they aren't included in the ROM.

I thought 4.2.2 adds the ability to use lock screen widgets like DashClock (you have to select "Widget" in lock screen type and I think you may be limited to just one widget). Not sure about ActiveNotifications.
If that's not enough, sounds like you need a custom ROM.

Yes, 4.2.2 does but thanks to Sense that i doesn't let you allow lock screen widgets!

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I believe 4.2.2 on the HTC One w/Sense does allow one lockscreen widget if you select the "Widget" lockscreen in settings. Try it. I can test later, but I quite like the "Productivity" lock screen that HTC provides.
I don't see them. I could be wrong

I installed that ROM on my HTC One, and lets just say the battery life was pretty bad. The battery life would drop pretty fast just from browsing the web and viewing social media. Not to say 4.3 is bad at all.

In those settings chose the one all the way to the right. It's called widget lockscreen. Unfortunately only allows for one widget. No swipe left or right like aosp lockscreen.

Or you could install an app like Widget locker and replace the sense based one with the default Android one
The screen they are referring to is in Settings...Personalize...Lock Screen Style....Then chose Widget. Like they said above it allows for ONE widget, and that can be Dashclock if you want
When flashing roms it's generally best to use the Rom for a few days before judging battery life.
I've noticed some roms got better over time and usually your first charge is spent tinkering and configuring your phone.

The only problem with sense lockscreen and dash clock is that you'll have 2 clocks :-\

[Q] mod for Sense4.5 on our ICS possible?

Since the official update to JB might not come after all... Would at least a MOD of our current ICS4.0.4 /Sense4.1 to Sense4+ be feasible to ask for? Or is Sense to much dependent on the underlying android system, so that Sense4.5/+ would require JB after all???
I remember that there was a mod for the htc imagesense 4.5 cam available for our ICS release! Also ViperLTE2.2.0 provided widgets and lockscreen 4.5 mods. so could some similar mod allow us to update to other Sense 4.5 apps as well? Like the newer htc gallery, or maybe the htc settings etc?
Thanks for your insides
Really no-one interested in having Sense4+/4.5 instead of the regular Sense4.1 on our Dinc4Gs (and/or knows how to get them (modded) to our ICS-Sense4.1 ROMs)? It almost seems as if all of you are already only yawning for the latest CM-whatevernumber builds or "at least" the (brand)new Sense5.x apps.
oh well, was worth a shot
small bump ... (several weeks later)
i've noticed other HTC ICS-roms posted here on xda ... which _indeed have_ sense4+ apps. so it definitely is possible. any hints on how to achieve this transplant of sense4.5 apps to a ICS-rom (system, gallery, browser etc) are highly welcome! ... the sense4.5 cam we already have (as a mod since quite some time)
