HTC One S WIKI
Hi all
I have created the HTC One S Wiki. I find that if they are updated, they can be a great source of information to all. Please help to keep it updated, as it helps out newbies and cuts down on them opening new threads in the forum. Its also a great resource for the veterans.
This helps to keep the clutter down on the main forum, so makes it easier for us all!
Please update it with any thing you feel is valid. I will leave this thread open to discuss Wiki issues.
Hope its useful
Your friendly HTC One S Moderation Team
Swype
For anyone aggravated that swype doesn't yet work on the One S, HTC have included swype like functionality as default and while it's not quite as good as Swype it should see you through until Swype issue a fix. To enable...
- Go to Settings>Language and keybaord>HTC Sesne Input
- Toggle Trace keyboard to On
Hope that helps
[Q&A]
I have a dual touch screen ... Isn't it a multitouch point screen ?
-- You have to enable the option. Settings -> Display & gestures -> HTC Gestes uncheck !
I'm glad this is out good job Ganja.
Perhaps it's usefull to add some info about what video/audio codecs the phone can handle.

Maybe a in-car bluetooth compatibilty reference?
It works in my 2005 BMW 3 series coupe (E46).
Or should this go somewhere else?

Might be hard to add a full list to the Wiki. You could always open a Bluetooth compatibilty reference thread and link that to the wiki. Up to you, as the first post of said thread would have to be updated regularly for it to be useful.
Shouldn't GLONASS be added to GPS the Ons S specification section? Another thread here confirmed GLONASS is enabled.

Swype doesn't work because of the Menu Button on the Display. That changes the available ScreenResolution and swype thinks the resolution is not supported. If you redirect the menu button to a hardkey, than the screen is free and swype works perfect =)

The real Resolution is 960x540 pixel, but due to the onscreen menu button on the bottom of the screen in some apps the available resolution is only like 920x540 and therefore swype says, the resolution is not supported...
Gotcha, thanks. I knew the screen res isn't compatible but didn't understand which menu button you meant.
glad you got it. Have to translate everything so for the most time i have no idea what the proper translation would be. For me the menu button is the right klick on a pc mouse =D

Hey Highroller,
Do you have anymore input for this. I already assign the menu button to the 3rd hard key instead of app switcher in the cy8c-touchkey.kl so it works as a menu button.
The button now works like a menu key but sometimes it still draws the onscreen menu and I can't install swype. Where else would I change it?

Gesendet von meinem HTC One S mit Tapatalk 2
oh great, ill poke around and see what i can do. while i havent had the One s for more than 24 hours now and dont know much yet about the HTC One series -- my question is thisn -- does the ONE-S and the ONE-X differ so much? would it be appropriate to have a ONE-Series wiki? That way, you get double the wiki-ness.
will play with the wiki this weekend, nothing like a good wiki.

Hi,
I'm currently using your latest rom, and its great in terms of stability and overall features it contains. I had a small request which i thought i'd post, and decided to make a separate thread so that ppl can drop all their requests too, so here goes!
And now for my request -
It would be great if you could add PQz II into the default rom. Its a small app to enable control/alt key combos with a lot of other features for phone shortcuts, button shortcuts etc. Its freeware too! You can find it at www.nicque.com/pqz
if you could make the following customizations so that pqz starts this way by default, thats an added bonus -
1. Has the path to the "icon" bitmap (by default, its just a white blotch until you specify an icon in the default installation. the icon comes within the package though)
2. Set default keys to the SYM key for control and alt.
3. Make PQz start at windows bootup by default by adding a link in the registry
Cheers and I appreciate the great work!

I tried it already because sometimes I miss ctrl and alt.

Hi,
Which keys do you set for ctrl and alt, cause they aren't on keyboard?
Fn + Tab maybe?
Also how to set a icon for the today I don't know?
Can the icon in upper tray moved to bottum tray?
2 many questions haha...

I tried the app but quited after some minutes because I couldn't find a way to get it working, lol
Nevertheless if working, it could be a good improvement.

with all do respect, PQz suck.
it really messes up the keyboard control for other programs, such as games for example...
if you really need it, install it. it only takes a couple of seconds and a couple of lousy KBs, if i remember correctly.
Rom devs can't include apps everytime users have a spacial request. That's what kitchens are for...

Normally, we set the "SYM" key for both Control & alt. This way, you press sym once, its control (shows on the icon, once set!), press it again it becomes alt. Its soooooo useful, i cant tell you.....you must try it!
i use it extensively, to do control+c, cntrl+v, blah!
The icon should be on top, so that it shows what you've pressed (control or alt).
The cooler part is the other sub-modules it has such as phone shortcuts, app shortcuts, system shortcuts etc. For example, i can set shortcuts such as alt+Alphabet for speed dials for all my contacts. No matter what application you're currently using, just hit Alt+S to dial a contact for instance, or even fire an application!
I also use, Alt+X to close current app, alt+0 to close all apps....really useful!
Try it out for a while, you cant live without it!
Cheers!

Can you add these files to Windows\ directory?
If you could add these to \Windows directory, it would be great! It changes the basic "Open/select file" dialog to browse through folders in a standard windows way rather than scanning through all folders and showing it as one single list!
It overrides this dialog at all places. For instance, when you try and add an attachment to your email, it shows standard folders for you to navigate and pick the right file, rather than making one giant list of all files on all folders!
San
EDIT: There's a small bug in wm6, the softkey labels are not shown though (not a big deal as long as you know what they are!) . The left softkey is "Up" one folder, and right softkey is for "Menu" when the open file dialog is active. Make sure you activate it under Settings->System->FileDialog and check the option in there!

Hi San,
I will have another look and tell you what I think of it later.
Greetings,
Leo
how about the ability to call the last dialled number? can that be added? and maybe not including the latest task manager 2.0 as that has problems with the closing of apps.... maybe the earlier version 1.5?
PQZ
Well... I tested a bit.
But it does screw up other functionings.
Also the today icon I don't like, I only see a white square in top bar
Did you try HandyMenu or AEButton, they have same function's but much easier. For copy\paste I use Pnotepad.
Sorry...

Leo

The WiFi problems are fixed now!
Can you pleeeease solve the Bluetooth Stereo problems ASAP.
I think I already flash my Universal with all existing ROMs, but I believe none as A2DP and WiFi WPA fully working.
can i suggest to try rlToday? It's a very nice Home/today plugin. Working with VGA and completely skinnable.

Well I guess original authors of your work components should be recognized there buddy.
After I install the action screen, I can't assign any other app to the send key even after I uninstall the action screen.
Hello,
Could you please make a data disconnect option inside your action screen?
I think it is very useful.
Thank you!

Thank you very much Abu Kareem for your advice,
Much appreciated.
Even though the work for the icons is others, I do however thank jaguaralani for taking the effort to put them together.
I was using the other ActionScreen that is tweaked for the HD2, but personally I find the icons resolution a bit low to do any justice for HD2. Now I am using what you have put together and am really happy with it.
I installed TouchX SendKey lockscreen and it is able to take over control from ActionScreen as someone complaint that he lost control of the SendKey longpress even after un-installing this app.
in fact they didnt make the icons for this Action Screen, i took the icon backgrounds only and edited them and added the black circlular icons to go along with the action screen.
as written by Title, is possible to increase the scrolling speed of the star menu?
I don't know if is possible to set a parameter with one system editor..i would like to have a scrolling as,for example,in the program "S2U2",and precisely when you chose in this program your wallpaper because is too much fast of the normal velocity of the htc star menù
I hope I don't ask too much.
thanks in advance!
is my first post and so I would to thanks all of you for your fantastic work for htc device,thanks so much, because now I love my device.
I love this forum!
I hope someone can help me, I think is not difficult for all of you.

perhaps because the question is hard to understand. What do you mean with "star menu" ?

ok, i see you are talking about the start screen and i guess you do not know that scrolling here is programmed to stop after each screen.
for each swipe the screen is scrolling and it stops when full, next swipe another one screen down and so on...
the scrolling is not continuous like in the all programs or contacts but it is screen by screen. this gave you the impression that is slow.
this is done so u are not going to "over shoot" / over scroll and then have to scroll back.
i know i might be not clear enough but this the best i can do.
i do not think u can improve it.
is the START MENU'
excuse me to all.
I forget the "T" letter.

Did you tried this:

?

This start menu make my crazy too .
For me this is absolutly stupid way to scroll page by page.
The idea of this kinetic scroll (if I not wrong with the name) is the scroll distance to depend of the finger slide speed.
If somebody have solution, I will be grateful too!
You need to flash either a WM6.5.X ROM (builds 28xxx and 23xxx) or a ROM based on Windows Mobile build 23016.
OR you try this: Copy the physicsengine.dll file from the attached .zip to your Windows directory and overwrite the old one. Then restart the device.
You need a file manager like Total Commander or Resco Explorer for this, the built in File Explorer is not able to overwrite system files.
However, this could do all sorts of damage to your system, maybe it won't boot anymore or something else. Try it at your own risk

Yes, but I cannot guarantee that it will work, and you should maybe back up your system before you do this.
I've searched on the forum but didn't find much mention about this keyboard.
Seems to work well for 32B/32A Cupcake but not too well for Donut.
The youtube video has links for either files. on my 1.6(donut) it is finicky. I'd have to tap on a text box a few times for the keyboard to stick, otherwise it disappears. Anyone know how to make it work properly?

Hi at all!
My request is if it's possible to have a mod that enables onscreen buttons (better if resizable) and disable the soft keys of our one s!
I have to do this request because some people have an issue with soft keys of the one s that interference with gsm antenna and this will be a nice workaround for that, until the official htc radio bug fix.
Here you can find the thread about the issue and there is also a spreasheet to collect signature of the issue. (we are about 150 till now)
Thanks at all, that will take us and help!

Check Button Saviour - the Pro variant costs only little money and lets you remap the original buttons. Maybe you can disable the buttons too. I am not going to test this as i was using it with my HD2 already and i hated these artificial buttons. I want the real ones to work, but if it helps you, you could always try.
thanks!
but i was thinking about the ics onscreen button like gnexus because they are more integrated in the system.

So, like porting that from the Gnex onto the One S?
But that's kinda hard i think because we have sense on top of Android and that'd mess with it pretty much. Dunno, maybe som Dev has an idea then.
Probably easier to achieve on an ICS only ROM.
Capazitive Buttons
I've looked around a bit with something in the XDA thread CM9 found something interesting, it's there to change the layout / function of the capacitive buttons.
my intention is to find a Workaround regarding this Touch Button Issue
at least I've played around with some of the offered file and I have managed the home and the back button to swap.
This doesnt fix the problem but it makes it a little more tolerable, you can feel the still wriggling in the haptic feedback but the screen just does not jump back and forth., At least a little workaround until there is an update to it.
anyone who feels it can test it out, if necessary, please improve, I'm not the Hero in such Things :cyclops:.
the files can simply be flashed in the recovery.
please excuse my cruel English, it mostly came out of Google Translator
EDIT: it does not work on CM9 ROM !
will it work on Trickdroid?
I will test if it will
will it work on Trickdroid?
i've testet it on Energy Rom, on CM9 it endet in a Boot-loop, so i suspect it will work on stock based Roms.
works on trickdroid. Testing... thnx, btw =)
now it goes back from time to time. Is it possible to put back action to back button, make Recent apps button work like Home and disable Home button?

You can try it yourself, just edit the cy8c-touchkey.kl withe an Edior like Notepad++
I've figured it out by playing around and this has cost me a few restarts. I'm really not an expert.
i've just figured out how to disable the Home Button, as compensation i use Button Savior
I know it is a crude Workaround, but it helps me to maintain the Hope for a soon Update..
however, for the Moment no more wriggling :victory:
the File can by flashed easy in the Recovery and should work on stock based Roms, NOT on CM9!
Very good. I'm now going to learn from your file
Thank you ;-)
