Being aware of your own speed can always come in handy, whether you want to avoid breaking limits, to verify your vehicle’s performance, your own, or just out of plain curiosity.
So here comes my latest creation, SpeedoPhone updated to the release 1.31.
If you have a WM device with GPS and you want to keep your speed under control, SpeedoPhone is what you need. You can use it when you’re on foot, in your car, on a train, on a plane, on boat or wherever you like.
The app has a Windows Phone 7 look, nice, user friendly and pleasing to the eye; as for the possibilities and information it has to offer, here's what we've got.
The first steps are the same as always: download the cab from the link at the bottom of the page, install it on your device, open it and you’ll get to the home page.

}
It's simple and intuitive. The app will automatically get the GPS running upon loading, but it's possible to switch it on and off manually with the GPS button. Once the phone has found and fixed enough satellites to work with, the START button will be enabled. Click on it to start your record.
I hope you'll find this app useful and that you'll enjoy working with it. It's available for free, but, as usual, if you'd like to say thanks a coffee would be nice.

Description
The first data available on the screen is the instantaneous speed, with Km/h as default measure unit. You can change it to miles per hour (Mph) or knots (Kn) by tapping on it.
The app will also give you information on the distance you've covered, the average speed you’ve kept, the highest speed you’ve reached, how much time has passed, and - if you select the cost-per-kilometer option - how much it is so far.
Select the
button to keep alive the device, so not to let it go on stand by and have it automatically disable the GPS. The
button, on the other hand, will activate the full screen option that further on we'll examine more in detail.
Let’s now see the option menu instead, accessible via the
button.
From there, it's possible set a series of controls to keep your speed under check. By specifying a maximum value for the instantaneous and/or average speed, exceeding that limit will cause the speed indicator to turn red and a sound signal to go off. If you'd like the app to work as a kind of taximeter, or if you want to know how much your travel is costing you, you can set a cost per kilometer. You can also specify how precise you want the instantaneous speed to be: an integer, a one- or a two-figure decimal. When the fullscreen mode is on we are also shown a series of buttons, showing different speeds, to switch quickly between the limits more common to us. And, last but not least, you can have the app record a log with the data of your travel. The app will remember our favorite settings also on each following use.
Here, the menu where it's possible to select which limits to show on the fullscreen mode.
Once we’ve got back to the home page, clicking the
button will take us to a screen with more specific information, this time relative to the GPS signal. That means that we will be able to see how many satellites the device is able to detect, how many it has fixed, what is the current dilution of precision of the GPS, our altitude, latitude and longitude.
Let's now see aspect and functions of the Landscape mode, activated by rotating the device.
The home page is fairly close to the one we've already seen, except for the slightly different layout of the buttons. Tap on
to activate the full-screen (also available in Portrait): since there are times when a lot of information is too much, and rather than being a help it just hinders us, on here you will only see the instantaneous speed, displayed as an integer and with a much bigger font, so to be clear and immediate.
We'll find the Keep Alive button on there as well; as for the unit of measure, again, if you want to change it you only need to tap on it. In order to be aware if the device is working or not, if the GPS signal is strong enough to work with you'll see the
icon appear on screen. And, at the bottom, the buttons to switch between preset limits.
With the 1.2 release some improvements have been made to the HUD mode. Accessible via the
button, it will show a mirrored version of the regular display. Why that? Try and put your device on the dashboard, you'll get to see your speed projected on the windshield.

HUD
Hi,
could you implement (in fullscreen mode) the "HUD" mode? that means informations are displayed "mirrored", and then you can put device on dashboard of a car - under windshield. Then all is displayed at glass - looks terrific
It would be great improvement.
Thanks
D.
Thanks fro sharing. Nice work. Ill buy you a coffee.
That is looking amazing savrix85. Simple in use. Well i will check can i change the icon more to CHT and possible white and black GTX. I will publish the first screenshots here...
EDIT 1:
What not so nice is, i can' t change the graphics.
Only the lamp on/off png.
Is there the posibillity in the future?
great
Thanks for your time and effort, looks nice

Hi mike2nl, I would like to make the app skinnable, but it's not a priority. Now I'm working on the HUD
option, but the skinnig is in the plans

nice app
the ui is simple and clean just how i love it.
just tested it on a walk outside. worked pretty good after it took some seconds to find the sattelites
Really fantastic application!
Out of all the other similar applications that I've tried, this one actually works, and works great at it.
I have some suggestions, if it's not a problem:
I would like to see a logging feature to keep records.
What I'd also like is if it showed the "trip" start/end times and a total duration from when you tap on "start" and when you tap "stop" which could also be included in the log.

Hi savrix85,
i have tested the app yesterday on my way at home and today in the morning on way to the office. Cool..to say it in one word. Simply to use and the right information. The app does what you have say.
Future request:
- possibillty to mirror the view to put the phone on the dash board in the car
- please remove the mondomobile.altervista.org from main to settings -> about screen. Because now it looks no longer clean and nice. I understand that you wil show the author, but every coder do this in about. Only an idea
- +1 for this from Max_Terrible

Your app is one of the simplest and cleanest apps i have seen here on XDA. No schnick-schnack only clean. The balck and white contrast is very good for our old eyes . I will use the version i have downloaded yesterday, because it is clean on main and it is working. Thanks for sharing this fine app.
Really, nice App. Like someone else said, it actually works!!!
As an older user with, sadly, poorer eyesight, it would be nice to be able to make the font even bigger. Another thought would be the ability to set multiple speed points with the colour changing at the different points, eg the various speed limits 50kph, 60kph, 80kph, 100kph etc.
Once again, thanks for a useful app. Works well on my HD2
I've released SpeedoPhone 1.1. You can see the changelog in the third post.
Now the app is also available at the XDA Market.

1. possibillty to mirror the view to put the phone on the dash board in the car
2. please remove the mondomobile.altervista.org from main to settings -> about screen. Because now it looks no longer clean and nice. I understand that you wil show the author, but every coder do this in about. Only an idea

1. DONE! It's in the 1.1 release.
2. Yeah, that was temporary to begin with. I have some ideas for the "about" section, in fact... but it's one of those things that gets postponed as long as there are features I have more fun working on
3. added to the to do list!
4. I've increased slightly the dimension of the font on the pages with info and settings, but I couldn't do more than that.
5. I'd prefer not to implement that one, but a feature that I'd like to work on is the possibility to set quickly a set of standard speed limits (50kph, 60kph, etc) just by tapping on a button.
Hi, first of all, many thanks for this cool app.
Ii notice this glitch and bad translation on the last release (see capture)...
And now some request :
-add altitude to dashboard and fullscreen
-add button to settings to open your homepage (with default browser not IE with the donate button)
-Improve the HUD quality button
-are you interresting by french translation ?
don't download the 1.1 version. I'll fix it this afternoon when I'm at home
is 1.1 available in english? looks cool

Bugs fixed in the 1.11 release, thanks for reporting them.
now your request:
-I've to say no to this cause I would leave the fullscreen as clean as possible and in the dashboard, in non-wide devices, there's no more space to add info.
-I've used IE cause using the default browser, Opera in my case, gives me an error when it tries to open the link. If I'll find the right solution, I'll make it.
-what do you mean? the HUD button shows "blurred" or simply you don't like it?
-yes, I'm interested. I'll PM you for this

I've released the 1.11. It fixes the bugs mentioned by Albator and some minor others
Problem with the new HUD mode.I have always a big 0,not center, km/h missing... Miss something ?
And for button quality, i like it but but it's glow (up, down, right, left) around circle.
I've made a little mistake in the HUD code, now it should be ok
In the HUD mode the mirrored speed is aligned to the left cause you can see it aligned to the right in your windshield. It's not centered cause I had to do that with images to combine to show the mirrored speed. When I'll find a more elegant way to do that, I believe it will be centered.
Km/h misses cause I didn't want to mirror it.
If you download it again, the glow around the circle shouldn't be there any longer
Xposed module: App Settings v1.10
What it is
This is an Xposed module that allows changing generic settings on a per-app basis.
"Generic settings" means settings that are global to all applications, such as: perceived DPI, rotation behavior, fullscreen, etc.; full list is below.
These are settings that can in principle be applied to all packages, even if for some it might not produce any effects.
Not to be confused with app-specific settings. If it's something that only app Y or Z needs changing, chances are it won't belong in this module.
What the mod CAN do
Here's the list of settings that can be defined for each target package:
- DPI: Changes the DPI used by this app both when loading resources (some might be DPI-specific) and also when rendering them.
- Font Scale: Scales the font up or down, similarly to the system-wide "Font Size" setting.
- Screen dimensions: Affects the resources loaded by the app in case it bundles different ones for different screen sizes; use the "List Res." button to get some hints on the kind of alternatives the app might have for different resolutions.
- xlarge qualifier for resources: also affects alternate resources used by the apps (tipically for tablets / devices with big screens); see previous item.
-Apply res to widgets: normally, resources are only manipulated when being loaded by the application itself. If this is activated, they will also be manipulated when loaded by other apps, which is the typical situation when a Launcher presents widgets from other apps.
- Locale: the language used by the app for loading resources, formatting numbers and dates, etc.; you can use this for apps that do include translations but don't give you an option of using a different language than your global one.
- Fullscreen: you can force an app to always use fullscreen (hiding the statusbar only, not the navigation bar for devices that have it) or never use it; on KitKat Immersive mode can also be activated.
- No title: hides the title bar, gaining more space for the actual contents. Note that many apps might crash if they're relying on some elements of the titlebar to be there.
- Keep screen on: If set, the screen won't dim or turn off after the inactivity period whenever this app is on the foreground. Remember not to put the device on your pocket with the app active.
- Show when locked: Display this app's screen on top of the lockscreen, without requiring e.g. the PIN to be entered (dangerous). Note that you'll have to find a way (somewhere else) to open the app from the lockscreen, depending on the kind of app.
- Resident in memory: If set, the system will try much harder to keep the app in memory even when you leave it. It might make the app more responsive when reopening but will also consume more RAM, possibly slowing down the overall system.
- No fullscreen IME: prevents the keyboard from taking up the entire fullscreen when in landscape mode.
- Orientation: Override the orientation settings build into the app. You can force "normal behavior" (rotate according to the device settings, even if the developer hardcoded a specific orientation), "always portrait", "always landscape" or "force auto" (use the sensors even if the auto-rotate system setting is off). Additional options exist for forced reversing the portrait or landscape orientations, use the sensor so they can be inverted by tilting the device, 4-way rotation, and forced rotation but respecting the user setting (locked / auto-rotate).
- Insistent notifications: If active, the sounds used by any of the app's raised notifications will loop endlessly. Danger of depleting the battery (and annoying crowds) if you're not around when it starts playing the sound.
- No big notifications: Prevent notifications to have an alternate layout for the "expanded" mode; it will always be collapsed and can't even be expanded manually
- Ongoing notifications: Force or prevent notifications from the app to be marked as Ongoing (non dismissable)
- Notifications priority: This is the relative importance of the notifications and, depending on the ROM, influence the visibility of their icons on the statusbar, their order on the list, etc.
- Show in recents: You can prevent the app from showing on the Recents list, or force it to appear.
- Mute audio: Prevents all sound from being played from the app. If videos are played, they will be muted. (this doesn't work for all apps, due to technical limitations on the system)
- Force legacy menu button: For devices that don't have a physical menu button, menu entries will usually appear on the far right of the Action Bar. With this option, the 3-dot button will be displayed on the navbar and the menu options will appear there.
- Revoke permissions: selectively block permissions requested by the app. Needless to say, depending on the permission and the app, it's very likely that it will start failing; don't expect revoking INTERNET or READ_CONTACTS and having the apps continuing to work every time - most of them will fail unless the developer anticipated this kind of permission denials
Some of the features that help you manage the settings for each app:
Search / filter apps
- by name or package
- by type (user/system)
- by state (enabled/disabled)
- by applied settings: global state, overridden or unchanged state for each setting
Shortcuts for app actions on the main list or on the individual settings screen
- launch app (main launcher activity)
- go to system settings screen (uninstall, clear data, ...)
- Play Store link (if applicable)
Display list of recent apps and jump directly to their configuration
The app can be killed when saving settings, so they can take effect immediately after relaunch instead of requiring a reboot.
What the mod CAN'T / WON'T do
The settings you can define for each app won't add functionality that simply isn't there, such as:
- adding tablet / large screen layouts
- using languages for which no resources are included in the app
- display "properly" in portrait or landscape mode
- operate flawlessly on top of the lockscreen
- keep working as expected (whatever that means to you) even after you revoke permissions
Not only these would be not possible to implement in an app-independent way, it's also beyond the scope of this particular module.
If you're familiar with the Xposed Framework, you're probably aware that lots of things can be tweaked or added to specific apps.
However, unless it's:
- generic behavior that can be applied to most apps
- relatively easy to implement
then don't bother requesting App Settings to provide it.
If it does obey these 2 conditions, then by all means suggest it (preferably with code contributions / pull requests).
Installation
Requirements:
- Xposed Framework 2.2 or newer; 2.6 or newer starting with AppSettings 1.9
- ICS (4.0.3) or newer (up to 4.4); this is not only a requirement for the framework, but also for this module due to the hooked APIs
Download:
The installation can be performed from within Xposed Framework by browsing the repository and finding the "App Settings" entry. Any updates will also appear there.
Alternatively, the repository entry can be browsed directly at http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings
Usage of this thread
This thread serves primarily to publish updates to the module, report bugs and suggest or discuss new features (user or developer-wise).
You can also use it to share and discuss your experiences with tweaking specific apps (e.g. resources settings, revoked permissions, etc.) - but I must warn that you should not expect feedback from me on that matter.
Quite frankly, I'm not that much of a smartphone heavy user, and I'm not willing to install loads of apps on my device in order to experiment and achieve ideal configurations for *you* to use. That's what the community is here for, though so feel free to discuss this on the thread.

Development
Authors: @rovo89 and @Tungstwenty
Sources: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedAppSettings
History: The foundations of this module were created by @rovo89 as a hidden feature within his Tweakbox module, which was the first daily-use mod taking advantage of the (then new) Xposed framework and somewhat of a showcase for it. By directly editing the xml settings file, it was possible to change the dpi, screen dimensions and language for an app's loaded resources.
Eventually it got promoted to its own standalone mod once a minimal UI was built to edit the configuration and more and more settings were added. It was promoted and discussed on @pulser_g2's Making Stock Custom ROMs Defunct thread and the repository he was kind enough to setup and administer some time ago.
Since it's been pretty stable for a while - both in robustness and in expected update frequency - and Xposed Framework now has repository functionality, it has come the time to create a dedicated thread for this and also bump the version to 1.x with the latest added features.

Ooo... Prevent full screen. :good:
I also noticed a significant improvement in load time as it's not scanning the entire list of apps every time. Also :good:
Edit: And my smaller screen size apps (Screen (dp)) don't look funny anymore. :good:
Edit: Also I thought this already had its own thread.
Individual brightness
Thanks for this fantastic module!
This Must Have and great module has now finally its own thread, it's perfect! :good:
Not much to say ... Smart, easy, effective, nice update ...
I have only one wish:
Is it possible to add individual brightness?
3 choices:
- System default setting (checked by default)
- Auto brightness
- Individual level
I think that would be great!!!

Im on a 4.3 rom if that has anything to do with it, but the setting dot take effect at all ?
It requires restart application to take effect. Close application from task manager and restart again.

Check the "About" panel. Do you see red text with "Note: ..."? If yes, then the module isn't running; activate it on XposedInstaller and reboot.
Otherwise, when saving the settings for an app (you're pressing the save button, right?) answer YES to the prompt on whether to kill the app or not, so that the settings take effect the next time it's started.
There's only a couple of exceptions for special packages which do require a reboot, such as "android" (obviously) and perhaps SystemUI (which might cause system hangs or not close at all)

There's only a couple of exceptions for special packages which do require a reboot, such as "android" (obviously) and perhaps SystemUI (which might cause system hangs or not close at all)

Yeah I'm doing everything right I've used this many a time before and had this issue with older versions. I know there was something I had to do with permissions which solved problem but I forgot.

Great Module.
I use it to change the locale of google now to my native language without having to change the system language too. Without this app google now would never talk with me in my native language.
A feature request:
Some apps (at least "Unicon" or "Lux") have the ability to show Notifications without showing a icon in the statusbar. Would it be possible to force this for other apps too with app settings? The notification should be in the list but without a icon in the statusbar.

Same here
I like all my systems (PC, phone, etc.) in English language, but there are some apps like Maps or Local News that need to be changed in order to provide local contents or audio

Apparently this seems to be possible on JB 4.1 and above: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2855110/android-no-icon-for-notification
I'll add this to the wishlist.

[size=+1]LOOKING FOR THE MINI-UPDATE THAT CAN BE FLASHED ON TOP OF TWEAKED 2.0?[/size]
Yes? Ok - then go to this post for information and download links
No? Ok - then read on... nothing to see here...
Hey everyone - resident no-one-in-particular here, and thanks to a few folks (@wally3614 and @itsmikeramsay in particular) I modified a few things to make my little mess of a project work a bit better for AT&T users. It needs to be stressed that this is based on the stock UVUBMI7 T-Mobile TouchWiz 4.3 that shipped with the N900T phone... In other words - this is a stock modified T-Mobile rom! That being said, I went through and made T-Mobile specific mods only show for TMo folks, as well as make sure mods work as they should for AT&T - including the removal of the Wifi Calling components.
This is still a work in progress, so even though I feel pretty confident that bugs (specifically related to the removal of wifi calling) have all been chased out, oddities may still come up - if they do please let me know! Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way or if there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) - I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning, and thats been the driving force behind my tinkering since it began really
[size=+2]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]
[size=+2]Installation instructions[/size]:
THIS DOES NOT QUITE INSTALL THE SAME AS OTHER ROMS!!
Wut?!? I have to read then!?! NOO!!!!
LOL - well really you don't HAVE to read, only if you want to customize things outside of the default setup. This was an idea that I started using over on the Note2 (though I've changed what I consider "default" a bit), and given the lack of aroma capabilities while using safestrap it at least offers an approach that lets users customize things a bit. Another advantage (for those that like customizing a bit at install anyway) is that after an initial step - future re-flashes of the rom will always utilize the same selections (assuming you don't delete some files in a particular directory of course). This should be a boon to those that enjoy flashing this and that, as the process of reinstalling this will now be tailored to what you want. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Unless you use the default approach you will most likely need to edit/redo this process for each update to make sure all new/edited options are up-to-date! This isn't excessively relevant yet, but it will be soon enough I imagine.
A complete explanation of the customizable-install approach can be found in this post, but for the sake of brevity and simplicity I am going to focus on the approach most fitting to the general (or new-to-flashing) user.
Before getting into that though, remember that the usual rules still apply:
- While very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues.
- I highly recommend wiping data before getting started with any of this. This is just a recommendation - not a requirement - though if you have issues that is almost always one of the first recommended fixes.
- Tweaked needs to be flashed in a custom recovery - and thanks to the hardwork of @HashCode this can be done via his Safestrap that can be found here. Make sure to THANK HIM for this, as none of this would be possible without his work!
[size=+1]THE SUPER SIMPLE SAFE APPROACH[/size]
The super simple safe approach would be to just flash the main install zip. This will give you a default set of options, of which you have no control (at install anyway). For those that would like to tailor the install a bit, you'll need to check out this post for instructions. Basically there is a directory you need to place on your internal or external sd card, and inside that directory are files that can be edited to reflect the particulars you would like to be installed.
Below is what I would consider the general fits-whatever-install-approach-you-chose installation instructions:
[size=+1]THE GENERAL APPROACH[/size]
- Backup your current setup/data
- Decide which install route (default/custom) is best for you
- Download the main installer and put it on your internal/external sdcard
- If you decided on the custom install route
--- Download relevant zip for said approach
--- Extract directory inside zip and place it on internal/external sdcard as instructed
--- Edit install.prop and anything else required to reflect your install choices
- Boot into safestrap recovery thanks to Hashcode
- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset
- Select and install the main Tweaked rom .zip you put on your sdcard
[size=+2]SCREENSHOTS[/size]
While the theme is pretty much stock, I figured I would throw in a few screenshots that show a few minor things. If you want to see the screenshots (and they aren't already showing) just click the "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" (or "SPOILER") button!
[size=+2]Miscellaneous Notes[/size]:
- [size=+1]REMEMBER -[/size] Regardless of what install approach you use you can always use the Modificatinator to un/re/do virtually [size=+1]ANY[/size] of the options available to you in the main install! No need to reflash the whole rom!
Even if you don't use it right away, make sure to GRAB THE MODIFICATINATOR HERE NOW so you have it if you want it later!!
--- In order to use the modificatinator, you need to go through a process similar to the customizable install process mentioned above. In other words - you will need to edit a particular file (it's already in the .zip/directory used for the customizable install process) in a particular directory PRIOR to flashing the zip. If you do not, the zip will do nothing outside of wipe cache/dalvik-cache. See this post for more instructions on this.
- Updates that come after the initial release MAY also have a flash-update-only option - whether or not it does just depends on the specifics of the update. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Depending on what is updated, an update-only flashable may break things if you are themed! I will try to avoid this as much as possible, but all it takes is a minor edit to a framework-res.apk string (for example) to necessitate an overwriting of a file typically quite important for themers (resources.arsc) - just be mindful of this please
- You may notice that the main installer contains a few boot.img files. Given the locked bootloader status AT&T folks CANNOT use these! They are included here as they can be used for the TMo folks, and the goal was to make one installer zip that would work for both carriers. There is some logic included that should prevent you from accidentally flashing one of these from within the installer itself, but it is worth mentioning regardless.
- This is still pretty much an unthemed rom (if any would like to change this PLEASE let me know - a themer I am not!). There are a few changes done in SystemUI (the pulldown in particular) and framework-res (to allow for system-wide transparency options) - and the hope behind those changes (all thanks to @Alexia Whitehurst) was theme work would then be easier as a result. @wally3614 also made a few icons. Even so, this is primarily UVUBMI7 stock-themed - and this is reflective of the thinking behind the whole setup as being stock with some extra options. For those that like flashing various mods and what not, be wary - unless it specifies that it was made to work with Tweaked it likely will not.
[size=+2]Download links can be found further down.[/size]
Let me know if there are any suggestions/issues/etc. - also, feel free to stop by the IRC channel Alexia Whitehurst was so kind to make for all of this on freenode - #tweaked. If you don't have an IRC client you can always use their webchat interface here. Happy flashing!

[size=+2]---LIKE THEMES?---[/size]
Good! As time goes on hopefully there will be an increasing number of themes made SPECIFIC FOR TWEAKED! This will be good, as while there are a number of themes out there that would likely at least partly work ones made specifically for Tweaked will completely work! Below is a list of such themes for ease of reference!
I will update this list as new ones come out, so make sure to check back from time to time! Also - MAKE SURE TO THANK THEM! There aren't many who have done this, so make sure they know the work is appreciated!

[size=+2]FAQ[/size]
Q: What the hell is TSMParts (new option in Settings menu)?
A: A interface for a huge slew of mods and tweaks originally put together by the original members of TSM and inspired by impressive works of numerous others - the TSM Parts interface acts as a control for all of the customizable fun available. There are a large number of options there - so make sure to check them all out!
Q: TSMParts is asking for superuser access?!?
A: Yep - there are some options (one in particular under Miscellaneous settings) that will need it, so make sure you grant it!
Q: I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and center clock - what should I do?
A: Yeah - things may overlap, so you will have to either change settings to avoid the issue or just deal with it.
Q: I set a statusbar icon to hide, but it's still there. What gives?
A: The statusbar icon tweaks may require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot/hotboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
-- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons/ime -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
-- No sim -- if the notification is already active you will need to reboot/hotboot to hide it
-- smart "eye" icon -- changes will happen once the eye triggers
Q: How is battery life on this rom?
A: This is a stock modified rom. As such, battery life will be equivalent to stock were you to be running a similar array of apps and kernel - it really should be no different than stock otherwise (which imo is not half bad really). The kernel and misbehaving 3rd party apps have more to do with battery life than a modified stock rom - at least in my opinion (and experience, though it's limited).
Q: I keep getting messages saying FlashBarService had to close - WHY YOU MAKE BREAK ON THIS!?!
A: There are two ways I've seen this happen. The first is when someone has HUNDREDS of apps installed - and in that case it usually FCs once and is fine after that. The other time I see it is when a particular app is installed that just refuses to play nice with multiwindow or penwindow. In that case, if it can be chased down and isolated, you can add the package name into the fbs_exclusions.txt file in /system/etc/ and all should be well once again. Worst case scenario - disable unlimited penwindow apps and unlimited multiwindow apps and see if things improve. If so, use the pick-what-to-include types of apks and see if the situation improves.
Q: So tethering is a common topic... can it be done with this?
A: To be honest I am unsure as to how tethering will behave using AT&T as the carrier... there was an annoying upsell message that TMo folks would get that I tried to set up to avoid, but in theory tethering SHOULD work on this. I will update this once it has been confirmed by a few folks
Q: CRT/fade animation doesn't work in landscape... why?
A: I actually forced this to be the case, as I could not avoid an odd half-screen effect scenario that happened in landscape - which was the result of a hacky fix to FCs that occurred with those animations and rotation changes.
Q: When I toggle navbar on/off there sometimes is a black bar left at the bottom - CAN YOU MAKE IT STOP!?!
A: This only seems to happen when toggled via the power menu and appears to be specific to the TW launcher - and has an easy fix. Open up an app, like Messaging for example, and then close it. The wallpaper will resize and all is well once again
Q: Why isn't the accurate data icon mod working!!?!
A: The only time that mod shows an effect is when you are on the T-Mobile or AT&T network - I don't believe other networks will see a change in data icon behavior.
Q: After I flashed the 2.X update I can't see texts in Mms - WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME?
A: There may be instances where the default colors I point to in xmls don't jive with the bubble options you've selected, or have been edited based on the theme you are running. Seems like a good time to change the color of the text right?
Q: What is this LMT thing? How do you use it?
A: You need to check out noname81's thread here for info on that!
Q: Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would have helped me a lot!
A: My bad - PM me anything you think should be added to this that would be helpful for the general user base!
[size=+2]How to custom install Tweaked[/size]
As I said, there are really two approaches to installing Tweaked:
[size=+2]----- DEFAULT -----[/size]
This is the approach used when one of two things has happened:
- 1) There was no preparation done or found as far as selecting options (i.e. no install.prop found where it should be on internal/external sdcard)
- 2) You are flashing an updated version of the main installer and failed to update your install.prop. Note that in this case your original install.prop can still be found, it just has a .bak added to the end of the file name.
This approach installs a set of default options that is slightly bloated but apparently covers all bases in terms of functionality.
When you flash the main installer zip as-is and it gives you a default setup after installation - you can opt to set up and flash the modificatinator (see downloads post here) - see the Modificatinator instructions below to learn how to set this up.
[size=+2]NOTE:[/size] For the custom approach please be aware that the process will likely need to be redone with new versions to make sure you have access to all available options!
I will try to keep changes to these files minimal, but changes are inevitable, so make sure to stay up-to-date with the version you are flashing, as otherise you will likely get the default install!
[size=+2]ALSO -[/size] with these approaches you can place the TweakedInstall directory on either the internal or external sdcard. That being said, in general if you have a TweakedInstall directory on BOTH your external AND internal sdcard, the files in the external sdcard directory will be chosen over those in the internal sdcard directory. Furthermore - it is VERY important that you DO NOT RENAME ANY OF THE FILES OR THE DIRECTORY! If you do you will likely get a default install when flashing the main installer (not the worst thing, but still).
[size=+2]----- CUSTOM -----[/size]
This approach requires changes you will have to do, and therefore needs a little reading and preparing ahead of time. In order to help things along, I've put together a zip file (see downloads post here) with instructions and needed files - make sure to read the... well, the README! The contents of that readme file are below:
--- From the READMEFIRST-INSTRUCTIONS.txt in the InstallInfoATT.zip file ---
#################################
# HOW TO CUSTOM INSTALL ON ATT: #
#################################
### NOTE: THE INSTALL.PROP EDITING DESCRIBED HERE ###
### NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO FLASHING THE ROM! ###
1) Decide if you will be editing text files on the computer or the phone
- regardless of where you do this, the result must go in a specific directory on your internal/external sdcard (see below)
- if you use a computer to edit, make sure it uses the Unix-style end-of-line character (you can use Notepad++ on a PC)
- Not all text editors work as you need them to if doing this on the phone - I have only tried it using the built-in text editor in Root Explorer
######## THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND A SOURCE FOR SIMPLE MISTAKES - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ########
2) Extract the TweakedInstall folder (either on PC or extract it to the ROOT of your sdcard - internal OR external)
- Inside are five files - the main one of interest for installing is install.prop
3) Open install.prop using a text editor and read the instructions
- it is on this file you select options
- this is similar in idea to how aroma works
- ALL you are doing with this is changing the numbers that come after the = signs
- DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! ONLY NUMBERS!
- Follow the instructions for what each number means for each choice
4) Complete any other OPTIONAL file edits per how you want to install
OPTIONS INCLUDE (these are for the more advanced users around - THEY ARE NOT NEEDED AND CAN BE IGNORED):
- If you opted to further debloat beyond available options and have set dangertweak to = 1
- edit the applist file with the apk name that you want removed
- ONE APK PER LINE
- see baseapplist.txt for a list of apk names that are included on /system as "default"
- If you opted to keep some pre-existing system files and have set savelist to = 1
- edit the savelist file with the full path to the file you want saved
- so for example if you wanted to save a script file called 02ForExample that was in the init.d folder, you would enter
/system/etc/init.d/02ForExample
into the savelist file
- ONE PATH PER LINE
5) Make sure the directory along with your newly-edited files are moved to your sdcard if not already
### IMPORTANT: THIS DIRECTORY HAS TO BE AT THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD (INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL)!! ###
### IMPORTANT: THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY MUST NOT CHANGE!! ###
### IMPORTANT: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ###
6) Boot into recovery and flash the Tweaked rom zip
TAKE HOME:
The edited install.prop file (and optional ones related to it) being kept in the TweakedInstall directory on your sdcard will make it so you won't need to do any choosing the next time you want to flash the main installer. You can always come back to or reflash Tweaked exactly how you have set it up with no extra effort!
######################################
# HOW TO USE MODIFICATINATOR ON ATT: #
######################################
### NOTE: THE MODIFY.PROP EDITING DESCRIBED HERE IS ###
### TO BE DONE WHEN WANTING TO MAKE CHANGES AFTER ###
### THE ROM HAS BEEN INSTALLED! THE EDITS NEEDS TO BE ###
### COMPLETED PRIOR TO FLASHING THE MODIFICATINATOR! ###
Ok, let's say you've installed the rom and made a few custom selections, or regret not making some in hindsight. You can - without reflashing the entire rom - just go through and install/uninstall the particular thing you want to change using the modificatinator zip. BUT - it also requires you to do edits SIMILAR (but NOT IDENTICAL) to those you made to the install.prop, however in this case you will be using the modify.prop file. If you followed the above instructions for preparing a custom install, the modify.prop will be in the same directory as your install.prop.
1) Decide if you will be editing the modify.prop on the computer or the phone
- regardless of where you do this, the result must go in the same specific directory on your internal/external sdcard that the other files mentioned above are in
- if you use a computer to edit, make sure it uses the Unix-style end-of-line character (you can use Notepad++ on a PC)
- Not all text editors work as you need them to if doing this on the phone - I have only tried it using the built-in text editor in Root Explorer
2) Open modify.prop using a text editor and read the instructions
- it is on this file you select options
- this is similar in idea to how aroma works
- ALL you are doing with this is changing the numbers that come after the = signs
- DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! ONLY NUMBERS!
- Follow the instructions for what each number means for each choice. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN!
4) Move the edited modify.prop to the proper directory (same one the install.prop is in) if not already
### IMPORTANT: THIS DIRECTORY HAS TO BE AT THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD (INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL)!! ###
### IMPORTANT: THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY MUST NOT CHANGE!! ###
### IMPORTANT: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ###
6) Boot into recovery and flash the modificatinator zip
TAKE HOME:
The edited modify.prop being kept in the TweakedInstall directory on your sdcard will need to be edited every time you want to use the modificatinator zip.
### WHEN EDITING TO MAKE A SELECTION MAKE SURE THAT ANY OPTIONS YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY SELECTED HAVE BEEN EDITED BACK TO "NO CHANGE" VALUES AS WELL!!! ###
--- End READMEFIRST-INSTRUCTIONS.txt -
The hope is that these instructions are as simple but as thorough as possible for those wanting to embark on the custom approach.

Howdy folks -
This is a first attempt at making things from one carrier work on another, but it seems to be working out so far. Please let me know if you have any issues or if any of the convoluted instructions I've laid out need some re-explaining. Hope folks enjoy, and apologies if you don't
EDIT: On the off chance that the above statement gets misinterpreted, when I say "This is a first attempt at making things from one carrier work on another,..." I do not mean in general - I mean that what I have posted here is my first attempt at such things. This is new territory for me is all I wanted the above statement to convey. Fwiw - I am never first at just about anything regarding android stuff lol - but in all seriousness I don't want anyone else's hard work to appear slighted by my above comment.
Very nice @dwitherell, now I'll go show all my buddies!
So glad this made it to our phones. Will be flashing tomorrow. Thanks to @dwitherell and @antiochasylum.

Sorry, forgot you did too! But yeah, it was all just a misunderstanding based on the context that was written. He's a cool guy!
There are several amazing things on this ROM. This Dev has helped several others with how to's on 4way boot and more. Tweaked plain out is the shizz. My personal favorite option ONLY found here is custom air command font color change

Like I said, it is all good. Tweaked and I sorted it out via PM. it was late and I mis read his post. Mistakes happen. Let's forget anything ever happened and enjoy the ROM he has brought to us!
This ROM has several options to read through. DEFINITELY MAKE SURE to see through all available options especially in TSM settings before just applying settings through your modules /gravitybox . wanam/

Are you guys scared of the install? Its quiet as a ghost around here.
The install is SIMPLE I promise. Its just very detailed for people, and he has every aspect covered.
Good ROM. I like TSMParts since 2.3.6.
Thank you!
People shouldn't be. Install is no different. Just different if you wanna go the Aromish way...but FYI guys it's super easy. I'll be doing a full vid review on this ROM and -how to- by this weekend

**THIS MOD IS NO LONGER BEING MAINTAINED**
Use Niwatori - One-Handed Mode.
Flying Android - an Xposed module to move the window of Android.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I support the one-handed operation!
Flying Android (FA) is a module of Xposed. FA introduces a movable mode called "Flying" to any screens. In the Flying mode, you can move the window of apps because drag events are intercepted and the whole window containing the Action Bar is dragged. On the other hand, click events are processed normally.
Features
Move the window of activities, dialogs and expanded status bar.
Pin the window after moving.
User Interface
Activities start as the normal mode (the same as before installing FA).
Launch "FA Toggle" to toggle mode, and drag to move.
Tap the outside of apps to back to the normal mode after moving.
Tap the pin to fix position of the window.
FA Toggle just sends a broadcast "jp.tkgktyk.flyingandroid.ACTION_TOGGLE". Because it is an Activity (but no display), you'll feel a time lag until toggle is done. If you want to avoid this time lag, use a background service (other app) to send ACTION_TOGGLE.
Settings
Flying
Speed
Choice the speed in the Flying mode.
Initial position...
Move to this position when you launch FA Toggle. Drag to change the position and press back key to save.
Notify flying
If checked, draw boundary of application while flying.
Flying dialog
If checked, you can fly dialogs. Note that IME is also dialog.Pinning
Use pin
If checked, other settings for pinning are enabled.
Always show pin
Pin is always shown on apps regardless of whether flying.
Pin position...
Show a pin button on this position while flying. You can edit this position by dragging.
Auto pin
Window is pinned automatically. Select a behavior from disabled, when takeoff or after moving.
White list...
Select applications that apply pinning. If not check anything, pin is shown in all apps.
Flying status bar
If checked, you can fly (expanded) status bar.
Reset when collapsed
This is an option for Flying status bar. If checked, reset the state of Flying when status bar is collapsed. This requires Android 4.2 or later.Troubleshooting
Force set black background...
Check apps for clear background if you encounterd a ghost on the outside of app after moving. I saw ghosts on Chrom, Firefox and Feedly.
Black list...
Select applications that don't apply Flying Android for avoiding trouble.
TODO
Transparent background -> Pending
Problem (reported): scrolling is partially while pinned.
Problem (reported): black / white lists don't work correctly.

* Added: Japanese text
* Modified: use two-pane layout for settings on the large display devices.
* Changed: the speed setting from list box to edit text.
* Modified: behavior of pin which is always displayed.
Tips
For launchers (such as LMT)
You might not be able to launch FA Toggle from launcher if it is registered as app (activity). In such a case, try register as a shortcut. FA supports creating shortcut to FA Toggle from version 0.6.5.
VPN setting
You must add VpnDialogs (com.android.vpndialogs) into blacklist for using VPN setting.
For Feedly
"FA Toggle" and Feedly are not well-matched. Display pin always by setting "always show pin" as workaround.
Appear ghosts on background
Check the problem app in "Force set black background" setting. If checked, the outside of the app after moving is overwritten by black solid to clear background. I saw a ghost on Chrome, Firefox and Feedly.
Took so long to come to xda well better late than never. Finally you are here and more people will know about your awesome xposed module☺

Some visual information would be helpful for some users. Nice module btw.
I just flashed a completely different ROM to upgrade my S4 to 4.4.2 (CM 11.0), and I still have the same white and black list problem and the same partial-scroll-while-pinned problem.
EDIT: I had to revert to 0.6.2 because the app kept flying my keyboard app, Kii. I always type by swiping, and the flying keyboard made that impossible, which is why I need to black list it. 0.6.2 allows me to black list apps, no problem.

Implementation became so complicated by some options, I rewrote hooks for FA. Owing to this, options menu problem is fixed on my phone. I hope that the partial-scroll problem is also fixed. And, I adjusted lists with reference to 0.6.2. But if list's problem is caused by reloading settings without rebooting...
0.6.7: no improvements. I still have the partial-scroll-while-pinned problem, the white and black lists can't be modified, and the new "Reset when collapsed" feature has no effect.
Here's something I discovered: when I install 0.6.2, I can modify the black list. If I then install 0.6.7 without manually clearing data or uninstalling, then 0.6.7 will inherit 0.6.2's black list, and will operate with those apps blacklisted. But 0.6.7 still can't add to or subtract from the black list, and of course I can't use 0.6.2 to edit the white list. If I clear the FA's data and uninstall it using Android Tuner, then reboot, then install 0.6.7, then reboot, it still behaves the same way.
By the way, when testing, I reboot after making any change in the options.

"Reset when collapsed" feature hooks a method "PhoneStatusBarView#onAllPanelsCollapsed". Android 4.1.2 or earlier don't have this method, so not work. Does your ROM have this method? if not so, FA will log "PhoneStatusBarView#onAllPanelsCollapsed is not found." via Xposed framework.
For the partial-scroll-while-pinned problem, does your ROM customize how to render views? Is the scroll region clamped by the edge of the screen?
For lists problem, I found an another difference between 0.6.2 and newer. It is flag when open preferences. In 0.6.2, preferences is opened with MODE_PRIVATE flag, but new versions use MODE_WORLD_READABLE flag to reload settings without reboot. Are there similar troubles at your ROM's community? Especially about get/putStringSet with MODE_WORLD_READABLE flag.

All my system info is in my signature:
Galaxy S 4 I9500 (CM 11.0 ROM (Android 4.4.2), PhilZ Touch CWM 6.0.4.7)
Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (CM 11.0 ROM (Android 4.4.2), PhilZ CWM Touch 6.0.4.5)
I'm not sure what you mean my "clamped by the edge of the screen." My fly position is at the bottom, and the pin position is center left. Everything looks normal, except the scroll amount is limited to the same number of slots that would have scrolled without flying.
The settings problem is the most serious, so maybe it would be best to try to fix that first. I don't have issues with settings in any other app. Perhaps make it a user option to have immediate settings changes or settings that require reboot? The user would know to choose which option depending on whether or not there are problems. Currently, if I check a box in the black (or white) list and then press "show only black (or white)," it shows nothing, and then the checkbox is cleared when I go back to the regular view. I've never seen this problem anywhere before, and have never seen CyanogenMod users talking about it. The problem is the same on both of my phones.

You can see Xposed's logs at "Xposed Installer" -> "Logs". Is there "PhoneStatusBarView#onAllPanelsCollapsed is not found." ?
A question "clamped by the edge of the screen." is an example, sorry. My main question about the partial-scroll-while-pinned problem is previous one. I want to know whether custom ROM has potential of causing this (or these) problem or not.
And for settings... honestly, I don't know what to do if the cause is not CM 11.0.

I saved and then searched my Xposed log, and there is no reference to PhoneStatusBarView#onAllPanelsCollapsed.
I posted a question about the settings issue at the CM 11.0 discussion thread.
Touch events don't get through
I was looking hard for any possiblity to contact you, the developer of the Flying Android module, but no chance, so I would be happy if you would contact me.
I am the developer of the App "Field Recorder" and since a couple of days I receive complains from my customers that my App is not receiving any screen touches when Flying Android version 0.6.6 or higher is active. What can we do to solve the problem?

Can your users blacklist your app in FA as a temporary workaround?
You experienced that blacklisting is really complicated above 0.6.2 as you already wrote:

But at the moment, some of the customers disabled "Flying Android" and are desperately waiting for an update of Field Recorder. So, I need to contact the developer concerning Android-internal stuff like onTouchEvent() and dispatchTouchEvent() ...
There must be tons of games which also don't work with Flying Android versions 0.6.6 and above.

Yeah, but I thought blacklisting might be working for some people because the dev says it works for him. In that case, it would be good to know which ROM's allow blacklisting, and then that way the dev might have more information to fix the settings problem.

I have no chance to get the information which ROM's on which devices do or don't allow blacklisting because these problems appear on customers' devices to which I have no access.
Actually, this is a more general problem, as there are obviously many apps which work, so I am willing to adapt my touch analysis according to the instructions of the developer.
Obviously versions prior to 0.6.6 have been working perfectly. So, the developer should know what the internal change was, that avoids apps to get touch events any longer.

Variant Editions
ADRENALINE NEO (Variant of the Official Release)
This is the rom further de-bloated to my personal liking and is created specifically for me. I'm really a sort of no-frills kinda guy yet I still appreciate some theme action and abilities. However, I have chosen to share this with everyone. I will not address complaints or issues resulting the use of this version as to what's missing or what you'd like to add back however I don't mind helping with the usual crash or system related issues should any ever arise.
The following separates it from the standard release:
APPS REMOVED
*Bluetooth unlock module
*All Apps Mirror Enabler
*Double Tap Status Bare to sleep module
*Google Navigation Arrow
*Play Store Fixes module
*ALL WIDGETS EXCEPT FOR WEATHER CLOCK
*ALL HTC BACKUP, VZW BACKUP, ETC BACKUP Utilities except Google Backups
*ALL live wallpapers and live wallpaper functionality
*Music Channel Disabled and removed (I've noticed a major decrease in audio *quality once switching over to the animations until a full reboot takes place and you stay away from it)
*Verizon Visual Voicemail
*The extra added ringtones and the Earthquake alert removed (no earthquakes where I live)
*All Mirror Casting services
*NFC and TAG abilities
*VZW Cloud Service
*Media output like HDMI output, etc.
*Boot-up and Boot-down custom animations
ADRENALINE DEVELOPER (Variant of the Official Release)
I created the Developer Edition for you guys who like to take a reasonably debloated base without Neo's adding like and dislikes and drag and drop apk files whether from the computer into the rom zip or from in your phone using a root explorer app to add back in apps you want. The Developer Edition is debloated even further than my Neo Edition as I've removed those apps which catered to me and only contains your most basic features: Calculator, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Data, Flashlight, Gallery, Mail, Playstore, Talk, and Text. For those who like to build up their own DD, this can be used as a starting point for dragging and dropping back into the rom things you need.
Aside from what is already removed in the Developer's Edition, the following has also been removed (but can be added back in at your discretion/ability):
APPS REMOVED
*Google Maps
*Youtube AdAway module
*Screenshot Delay Remover module
*The XPosed Installer
*Flashlight
*GoogleTTS (Google Text To Speech Engine)
Installation InstructionsI recommend users of this rom to be on the latest firmware and Hboot with an s-off device.
NOTE: You need to be on at least TWRP 2.7.1.1 or above if you intend to flash this rom.
If you are NOT on this recovery and have a rom complaint, I will not address it.
DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM WHILE IN RECOVERY UNLESS YOU WANT PROBLEMS.
The installer script does it for you already. Simply do a factory reset "Swipe Wipe" and you're good to go.
Flashing Procedures are as follows:
1. Put the Rom on the root of your internal memory
2. Compare MD5 Sum
-Windows: MD5 Calculator
-LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
-Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Scroll down and select "Wipe"
5. Do a "Swipe Wipe"
7. Install Rom from SD Card
8. Reboot and enjoy!
For Best results, reboot the rom once after it has settled after all your syncing and such. You will need to reboot anyway in order to active the xposed framework.
Further questions about the ROM
Please check the FAQ in the second post. (Coming Soon)
Note: DO NOT Mirror this Rom, Quote this entire OP, or Use this as a base for your Rom. Thanks.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
[Q]: What is the difference between Textra and Google Messenger?
[A]: A Comprehensive and Thorough User Level Comparison Review of Google's "Messenger" VS Delicious Inc.'s "Textra SMS"
So in an effort to prepare all of you for lollipop in an "ease into it" kind of fashion, I've come to find that many are either hesitant over the newly included messaging app, or would rather prefer Google's Messenger app over Textra. It has also occurred to me that many users don't actually know the difference between the two (other than the fact that Textra comes with a dark skin default which is changeable). So I have taken the time to compare the many different abilities and functions that each app provides in comparison to each other (at user level).
I hope that you find this informative enough to make a decision in the future as to which you would prefer. So without further delay, I present to you my review.
Now many of you may not care about the messaging app as you've selected Hangouts to be your default SMS receiver. For those of you like myself however that prefer SMS messages to be kept separate from hangouts, this may be of good use to you.
So to the Left we have Messenger and to the Right we have Textra.
Right off the bat you will notice that Textra does a full system theme where your status bar coloring is altered to reflect the theme (as with most of our apps including our Kit Kat stock Message) where as in Messenger it remains untouched.
You will also notice that the contact icons in Messenger are slightly larger than those appearing in Textra which I personally feel would limit the amount of text being displayed due to the "create a new message" button covering the last recent message. Yet the font is slightly larger in that of the Textra app making it easier to read which is what we care about most in a messaging app.
Both layouts appear to be nearly identical with exception to color.
Here we have an example where a single message has been long pressed.
In Messenger, the message selected is indicated by a slight discoloration of the field in which the text inhabits along with changing the contact icon to a Blue Checkmark (which only deselects the message if pressed). Notice also the create a new message icon disappears (as it is not needed for this current function).
In Textra, the message selected is indicated by a highlighted check mark that shuffles in from the left of the message (shuffling the message dates to the right off screen). Additionally, the create a new message button in the bottom right corner becomes a grayed out Checkmark which when pressed, changes color and selects every message currently in the chat summary. However, there is no Archive function built into Textra as there is in Messenger which for some of you, very well may be a deal breaker as you may actually use that function (I don't).
The options that appear above in Messenger are that of cancel (go back), Archive, Delete, and options.
The options that appear above in Textra are that of cancel (go back) Silence notifications, delete, and options.
In the following two images, we see what a multi message selections looks like in both Messenger on the left, and Textra on the right.
Immediately in Messenger, the options button vanishes and converts into simply silence notifications (as that is apparently the only multi message function it can perform).
However in Textra, the options to silence, delete, and "options" remain.
I have gone and deselected one of the messages in both Messenger and Textra so that we can compare and explore the options that are presented for a selected message (since it disappears in Messenger if multiple messages are selected). However, I have included the multi selected messages in Textra also so that you can see the options remain unchanged.
To the left, Messenger displays the only options to be Silencing notifications (which for some reason was not available until multi messages were selected) Add contact which adds the person to your contacts if not already, and block or “blacklisting” (which prevents you from receiving their messages).
To the Right, Textra displays Notifications Settings, Bubble Color settings, Delivery Report settings, Signatures, and black listing. Keep in mind also that silencing notifications is already present in the main window as well.
Since we pretty much already know what Notifications off, add contact, and block do, we will go over them through Textra while we explore the additional options it has to offer in the next images to follow.
We now are looking at the notifications settings specifically for the selected messages. What you will notice, is that in Textra you can define message/people specific themes, options, and settings.
In here you can enable or disable notifications on the main page.
Tap Notifications allow you to select the action to be taken when you tap a message notification from that specific message/person. You can choose to open a floating quick reply window that will disappear after you send a message and resume whatever activity you were currently doing, or you can have it open textra like most stock messaging apps will do.
Floating notifications settings will allow you to decide the duration of the pop up notification for that specific contact (should you decide to have pop up notifications in the previous setting)
Notification Icon Settings allows you to decide what color that selected contact/message should appear in. As you can see, there are 44 different color options to choose from (wow!)
LED Blink Color is an awesome option for phones that support it. You have the ability to specify what color your selected message/contact should appear in when you have received a message from them. While our device doesn't support every color listed, I have taken the liberty of providing you with the huge variety of LED colors that actually do work for our device: Green & Red.
Default Notification sound although "says" Ringtone, actually pulls from your notifications folder (like it's supposed to).
Vibrate Settings allow you to set specific vibration instructions for that particular selected contact/message.
Now, if you've elected to allow vibrations, you can go so far as to even select contact/message specific vibrate patterns!
Wake Up Screen options allow you to decide whether or not a message from that particularly selected individual should wake your phone and turn screen on or not.
Repeat notifications let's you decide how often your phone should harass you for not checking or acknowledging the newly received message per contact/person. Hey if it's mom you may actually want it to keep telling you her message is waiting to be seen
This ends all the options available for Notifications.
Backing out now we select the option to go into Bubble Colors for the specific contact/message. You can decide what color your text bubbles should be in, and what color their text bubbles should be in. Check it out, you have 42 color options
This ends the options available for Bubbles.
Backing out now we select the option for Delivery Reports
Here you can decide if you want to receive a report for a MMS or SMS message successfully received by the end user's device to which you sent a message to. Very handy for those who claim they never got your message or simply informative to you for those who honestly didn't receive it and perhaps should be called.
This ends the options available for Delivery Reports.
Backing out now we select the option for Signatures to be displayed in your messages to these specifically selected individuals. After having opted to include a message, you can edit and create your own. Note that after confirming your new signature, the signature displayed looks overwritten but a quick back out and back in to the Settings will provide you with visual proof of the correct change. (This is likely a glitch they are probably working out).
This ends the options available for Signatures.
Backing out and selecting the Blacklist option will immediately BlackList (block) those messages selected from ever being received to your device again. Don't worry however, as this can be undone by going to the main settings for the app outside of these message specific options we've explored through this review. Pay no mind to the fact that I just blacklisted my mother-in-law by "accident"
Deselecting all the contacts in both Messenger (Hey what was this app for again?) and Textra, we are now able to enter their Primary App Options via the same options button to the top right of both apps.
Notice that since Messenger has Archive functions, you are able to go into your Archived Messages as seen in the image above. Since I don't have any messages archived, none will appear but if you had used it to Archive them, that is where you would find them. This is the same feature that is present in Google Hangouts where you can archive a conversation for later viewing (and to keep it out of your primary chat summary).
On the main page you will see a search button (magnifying glass). Perhaps you had a conversation with someone a long time ago in your messages about a certain topic but can't remember who it was or when it took place. To easily recall that conversation, you can type in a word or phrase used in the message as indicated in these examples.
A very crucial thing here to note, is that Messenger will only highlight and provide you with the very last time the subject was ever discussed and take you back to that moment in time via clicking on it.
Textra however, will display a brief message from each and every time that particular subject was discussed and take you to that exact moment in time you were looking for by clicking on the specific search result.
Since it will be extremely brief, due to the minimal activity taking place in this app, we will go ahead and explore the main options taking place in Google's Messenger App first.
As you can see, aside from having 0 message specific settings, only very little remains for any of the global settings. Whether or not you want notifications for all incoming messages, one specific sound for all, whether or not all vibrate or don't, and your typical MMS settings which appear in every MMS app.
Now in Textra's Main Global Options/Settings, we see all the following choices.
Many of these you recognize from the per message/contact options/settings we covered earlier. These will be the primary settings to take place globally in no settings are specified per contact/message.
We will only cover those that were not covered in the individual settings.
Under the "About" option, selecting "What's New?" will give us a detailed change log for all the advancements Textra has made per release.
Enable Debugging is set for times when Textra provides support to you for an issue related to their app (wow)
Tell your friends allows you to share the playstore link for this app via a variety of different sharing options.
Resync Textra does what it says: Basically re-syncs all your messages should you have strayed away experimenting with other apps that intercept messages and wish to return to stability It will re-sync everything for you without changing any of your settings.
This ends the About Options.
Backing back out into Settings you'll notice a support button. Click this and you will have the option to contact the developers directly with any issues you may have that aren't listed in their provided Q&A/FAQ listed below. They also provide a button to tap to link directly to their Feedback Forum (yeah, they have one).
This ends the Support Options.
Backing back out into the main Settings, there is a Customize Look menu. Here you can change the text size of the fonts being viewed as presented in the image above.
You can also change the Dark Mode Settings to "Off", Dark (default) and Black.
In Theme color, you can change the overal theme color of the entire app! You have 40 selectable themes to choose form. Take notice of the checkmark and circle color of each theme you select. It is the color of your secondary colors like menu option font color, check boxes, etc.
Under the Default Notifications Settings, the only difference you'll see that wasn't discussed before is whether or not floating notifications will appear while the phone is both locked and unlocked (or duration of the notifications).
All the other settings are global and as mentioned before, work for all those who don't have individually set settings.
This ends our exploration of the Settings options.
Now, we go into a message as it appears in Messenger.
Uh oh, my chat window with my buddy Justin is in Pink and White?? Gee thanks Google.. Apparently, Google thought it would be cute to pre-select random theme colors per conversation in your messages. There is no way to change the color options as they appear in this conversation nor can you change any of your chat bubble colors or font sizes.
Long pressing a message as indicated in the second picture above yields a couple options. Delete that single post, return to the chat, Forward that post to another contact, or information regarding that post (type, from, to, sent, received).
There is no multi selection option, there is no swiping side to side for additional options or navigations. However options for the entire message is present without post selection.
Now in Textra, I'm happy to say that I have assigned this theme to the chat with my buddy and I.
Pressing on his image pulls up his personal info and gives me the option to call.
Swiping from left to right in the chat window sends me right back into my main chat summary.
Swiping from right to left however, will display the exact time and date of every sent and received message regardless of the time interval between as indicated in the 3rd image.
Long pressing a message gives me the option to multi-select individual posts where I can either trash them, send them all as a new message to someone in my contacts, forward the messages to another contact, copy the text, lock the individual posts, or share in an email Man I love options!
This concludes my review of both Textra VS Messenger.
I hope you have found it enlightening and will have taught you how to operate either app like a pro by the time Lollipop roms surface.
Guess now I should go and un-blackllist my Mother-In-Law
Mine for Skittles

Of course! I learned a long time ago back with my Rezound to follow your instructions. Yes I am S-OFF, Unlocked, using 2.7.1.1, didn't wipe system in recovery, and have a Verizon One Max.

Baffling man.. Are you flashing gapps or something? Should just be wipe, flash, boot. Make sure you're flashing the standard rom and not dev edition. Only thing I can think of is perhaps your phone doesn't like the high kernel frequency.. As soon as it boots, try going into trickster and drop the max frequency down a few notches.

Baffling man.. Are you flashing gapps or something? Should just be wipe, flash, boot. Make sure you're flashing the standard rom and not dev edition. Only thing I can think of is perhaps your phone doesn't like the high kernel frequency.. As soon as it boots, try going into trickster and drop the max frequency down a few notches.

Clean flashed again. Got into Trickster and dropped it down to 156600 and dropped read ahead to 2048. Also dropped GPU to 400. Set all to apply on boot. Didn't even sign into Google this time. Kinda just skipped through the setup process. Still rebooting. I haven't been able to flash any custom kernels on my One Max. Fly and Lunar both cause the same thing.

Bummer. On Monday I'll create a flashable zip for the stock kernel for those who have issues on these custom ones and I'll add it to post #2.

Thanks a lot! I was really hoping to finally be able to try FlyKernel. Do you think I would be able to just flash Flyhalfs stock insecure on your rom? Plus any idea why your rom won't play nice with my phone? Either way..... Great to have you back making HTC phones awesome!

This has Fly's 2.4 kernel baked in so if you've had issues flashing his or any other custom kernels, then you're bound to continue having them if they are baked in.
There are a handful of things that would need to change in order for you to run this rom on a stock sense 6 kernel and I will have a flashable for you on Monday.
As for why you have issues flashing their kernels, you may wanna get with them to figure out what's up.

Rom is sick... Everything is working great. Still playing around with it.
Thanks!
