I've been looking for a way to replace the lollipop notification pulldown with the one from the old holo systemui (the one with the toggles on a separate page, e.g. on jellybean). I'm currently running rooted CM13 on this phone.
I know some people prefer the new design, but I like the old one better. Would it be possible to do this, short of using CM11? I haven't seen anything anywhere similar to this.
Thanks

Just choose a JB or KK rom.

Uh, this is quite improbable. Worth's more downgrading to some ROM which uses Holo. You can also dual boot your phone xD

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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 :-\

Mine came with it now, so i was just wondering what would happen if i were to save those APK's (theres touchwiz itself, touchwiz launcher i think, maybe a couple others) to apply on top of a stock android OS??
Is that possible at all? It would be 4.0.4 style, but that doesnt bother me at all. if its possible that is.

Well, yes you can put your touchwiz.apk to other OS, what its going to do is its going to make you device look like samsung device. These are the launchers used to customize the look of the whole ecosystem and that's is the major reason why people drives away from iOS to the Android ecosystem try using the touchwiz launcher and see your device transform onto samsung.

Please do your research before replying.
No it will not work as they need the base touchwiz framework to work properly which stock google doesn't have.
This is the price you pay for running a custom aosp based ROM.

No because the frameworks control the whole OS. They are not cross compatible

Hmm, in that case, are there mods available to make every part of the stock OS look like the touchwiz OS, including the notification area?? Thats gotta be my biggest thing that i hate about stock. I love the compact 1 page aspect of the touchwiz version.
I know theres a theme for touchwiz, i tried it on another device. but all it changed was the main screens. settings and notification areas stayed stock. That was a total bummer, i thought i found my solution right there...

Some have a notification setting for the compact tiles but not completely like touch Wiz. I would either get used to not having them or use a stock based ROM. To be honest I would get used to bot having them as with the next update the whole thing is changing again.

Well the one i tried playing with the settings with is the moto G... but there are practically NO customization settings, at all. wallpaper and ringtones were all i was able to find. no notification bar settings, no compact, no nothing.
Im still using my ICS with no issues... im more thinking ahead for the future, will possibly set a couple of roms aside to try. Its gonna take alot to get used to the much uglier notification area though... maybe ill never have to!
Hello,
I've been holding off upgrading to Android 5 or newer and have been sticking to Android 4.3 because I plainly do not like how the icons and graphics for Android 4.4 and up looks like. Would it be possible to make Android 5.x look exactly like Android 4.3? Perhaps with a skin?
For example, the shape of the Back, Home and Switch Window icons at the bottom of the screen, the position of the Quick Settings in the Notification Panel, the shape and icon design of the Wi-Fi and Cellular signal strength and so on.
I have my Sony Stock Android 4.3 Rooted, which allows me to apply security fixes (ie. disabling Stagefright in build.prop) and installing permissions managers but I think as Android 4.3 ages more and more exploits would be possible against it. So I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to Android 5x and then skin it to look and feel like 4.3.
Thank you!

That's a very weird thing to do, but alright.
First of all, any reason why you're not on 4.4.4? That's the last KitKat version. Heck, 4.3 isn't even KitKat! It's Jelly Bean, so you're two versions behind. KitKat looks the same as Jelly Bean and runs much better than Jelly Bean.
Second, you can change the navigation buttons (the three buttons at the bottom) by either using an Xposed module or by installing an app (just google "change android navbar icons".
Third, you can also flash CM12.1 and use a theme. You won't find a theme that looks like the old Sony UI, because why would anyone make that, but you can theme it to look like anything else than stock Lollipop.
Fourth, you can stay on 4.4.4 and have a rather big issue at hand once you have to buy a new device It's not like Google will revert the design, so the best thing to do is to start liking it, or move to a different OS.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying some builds here and there, such as Cyanogenmod and Blisspop, I just have to use 5.x for a few days I guess.
What ROMs would you recommend that doesn't have broken features? Right now I'm using Sony Stock 5.1.1 and rooted it using the Kingroot app and replaced that with SuperSU.

The most stable ones are of course the official ones, so the one you're already running and the GPe port are the most stable ones. Also, I guess you can simply use a theme on the ROM you're running right now. Take a look here if you haven't already.

Hey guys,
I'm using an LG stock based ROM on my LG G5 due to issues with AOSP based ROMs for this phone. I've managed to get a more or less completely stock AOSP appearance including the quick settings tiles and notifications. However, the last thing i'd love to be able to do is to install an AOSP style settings app. It doesn't need to necessarily replace the default settings app but it'd be cool if I could install something like this side by side..
I've googled this and can't find anything really but I figured i'd be better to ask the experts here

Settings app is tied very closely with the system framework, so it's pretty much impossible to replace it with anything that isn't relevant to the current ROM.
