[Q] One S resolution 540 x 888 pixels ? - HTC One S

Hi all,
I wonder if you can help me with an issue, I searched the forum but I didn't found anything regarding this.
I need to know why the resolution of my One S in only 540x888 while in specs HTC is saying that is 540x960 pixels. I found this when I installed iGO and the map and buttons are a bit misplaced 2-3 mm down making them a little out of reach.
I hope that I made myself clear
Many thanks

It is because apps see what the resolution is after you have the three dotted menu button.

thanks, is there something I can do because I have a stock rom. I found only for deodexed roms a solution.

you can deodex the stock rom and apply the 3dot menu mod.. Then your resolution will be as mentioned on HTC..
as for how to de-odex a stock rom... i dont know

Hi,
I have been trying to install iGO on HTC ONE S for some time now but with no success. Can you please tell me how you did it ? I always end up with the application looking for files on the SD card ( non existent ) or with it closing before loading screen right away.
Thank you in advance.

You'll need to put the iGO directory inside the SDCARD directory.
That should do the trick.

On stock ROM, just update to newest update (2.21 / Android 4.0.4), you can then disable the three-dot-button on non-ICS-native apps by putting the multitasking button to act as menu button on touch (and still as multitasking button with long press)

Yeah, I know, there are a lot of soft reset apps out there, and most of them are cabs, which i don' want - Just the .exe file and .png icon .. But I'm particulary interested in the one i'm requesting, especially the icon. I know the ROMs i listed have the app, but i don't wanna flash a ROM and copy/paste it outta there, just to get a hold of it.. Thats why I'm asking here.
But thanks for your suggestion anyway

Tap-to-Focus Camera [ICS]

Does anyone know of a way to install a version of the ICS camera into a rom which contains the tap-to-focus function? Hopefully there is a flashable zip that I haven't come across.
If its a matter of replacing files using Root Explorer, that's not a problem. However, if I have to use adb to do this, I would love instructions on how to do so.
Of course this will not be possible without the actual files/apk of the tap-to-focus feature.
Thanks in advance to anyone with answers.
Edit: Thanks to dr911 he was able to direct me in the right direction on how to enable this feature.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I don't know if all these files are really needed, but I took them from AOKP and dropped them into the system: system/app/Camera.apk, system/lib/libcamera_client.so, system/lib/libcameraservice.so, system/lib/hw/camera.herring.so. Someone posted it in a thread here on XDA, but I don't remember.
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate the help!

So now what , how and where the files are ???
It's like saying I know a good resturant , I forgot its name and I don't know where is it
The files are contained within the AOKP rom for the Nexus S 4G as posted. You just download the rom and extract the files. Once you've extracted them, just place them in the same folders within your current rom.

I see now .. my bad sorry
Can you please post a link for the ROM ? for some reason I was confused on the tons of ROM in the dev section ... And do these files work with stock odexed 4.0.4 ROM ? and does thip tap to focus work flowlessly ?
I'm using the stock rom from the update pushed through by Sprint which I of course rooted, and everything is working perfectly fine.
The download link is contained within the development section. Its titled [ROM][AOSP][INFO] Android Open Kang Project - Crespo4g Build 30 [4-7-12].
It is on the first page in the development section.

Are you also able to activate the power button as shutter? The combo TTF and PowerShutter was why I chose AOKP as source ROM.
I think, some things have to be done with hardware buttons, such as camera shutter and music track skipping.
And by the way, are you able to use the video effects? I don't know if it is related to these files or the ROM I use, but they don't work here! I don't need those, so I don't care!
The power button does not work as a way to take photos. But as of right now, I'm very pleased with how this has turned out. I'm running the closest thing to stock with the tap-to-focus feature along with the Face to Unlock security feature which I found as a flashable zip on Android Forums I believe.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Did you activate that feature in camera settings? After that you have to restart the camera, else just your screen turns off.
EDIT1: So i just made a flashable zip from the files for anyone who isn't that familiar with Root Explorer or ADB. I hope it works, hadn't the time to test it, so better you make a backup before flashing (as always)
@The Batman: are you now able to use the power button as shutter?
EDIT2: New zip should also enable video effects on ICS ROMs that lack this function. Tested on I9023 with slimICS 3.3.
All credits to Team KANG and the people here on XDA, because I just took the files from AOKP that were mentioned in some posts here on XDA and put them into a flashable zip file (I also took the template for that from the forums, call me a pirate )
Yes, the power button now works. Users just have to make sure that they use the AOKP camera.apk and not the stock camera.Google.apk.

On the CM9 V6 rom :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035
There is actually a tap to focus function. So try flashing CM9 if you want to give it a go.

Sorry to say that, but do you even read the threads you reply to??? I've looked through your last posts and in two of them you recommend flashing CM9 V6 where no one asks for flashing a new rom. These threads are not even two pages long...
Here someone asked for a way to integrate TTF-cam into the stock ROM, in the other thread someone asked for a recovery and you also recommend to flash CM9!?

Does that mean both original ICS camera AND the TTF camera work toghther ? and I can choose which one to use ? i.e not lossing one ...
Yes. Or you can delete the camera.Google.apk and still have the camera from the AOKP rom which would then allow you to use the power button to snap pictures.

Depends on the ROM you are using and if that ROM contains the Google camera app or AOSP camera app.
But I think there is no advantage in having both side by side as the AOKP cam should have all features of the stock cam plus TTF and PS...
Has anyone tried this?

Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, place the file in the root of your SD-Card/USB-storage and flash it via recovery!
If you have a moment, I'll try the zip on my phone (forgot about it, sorry)!
EDIT: The zip flashed without errors in ClockWorkMod Recovery, so it should also work for others!

Well IMO , the last thing you wanna do is putting an extra function for the power button ... It is so weak and valunrable to break just doing it job opening the screen lock ..
Just my 2 cents , but the TTF is a good feature to have no doubt

That's just the difference between the newer Android versions and Gingerbread. It just takes a little adjustment, I don't even think about it anymore.

[APP][MOD] Black One-Handed mode background

[Disclaimer: this is my first use of APKTOOL. So, this may be a bit buggy, and I'll state that up front. No bugs so far, but feedback is appreciated and will be used to tweak/fix it up.]
I noticed some other ROM had done this, but I couldn't find it. So I modified the EasyOneHand.apk to attempt to make it have a black background, to save power and save your eyes in a dark room. After all, black pixels use zero power on an OLED screen.
[As luck would have it, the chef of the X-NOTE rom responded and told me his ROM was the one that had it. Of course, I didn't see his response quickly enough and I had already gotten impatient and did it myself, so I thought I'd post it anyway. Credit to him for the inspiration for my learning...]
I have attached my mod as well as the original stock files (APK and ODEX) for replacement. I have added an Update.Zip for those who prefer to let the magic happen automatically. There is also a dark version - just be sure to rename it and overwrite the existing file to install it. The dark version intentionally has white edges so you can easily see where the screen border is.
Extract this to your /system/app folder, overwriting the existing one. Be sure to delete the corresponding ODEX file if it exists. Set the permissions to the same as the other files in the folder (chmod 644).
Let me know how it works for you!
Updates
======================================
* Added Update.zip
* Added dark version (2013-11-17)
Screenshots
Before/After show the look before and after my mod.
Settings01-03 show how to enable one-handed mode and the built-in tutorial for how to use it. See the FAQ post below for details.
FAQ
Frequently Access Questions
=========================
But it didn't work!!! Did you reboot? You've gotta reboot, if you copy the file manually. Also, if using Update.Zip, it's best to clear cache/dalvik-cache.
Can I reuse or repackage this? Sure! Just give credit and send a link back to this thread.
How do I enable One Handed Mode? Look at the settings screenshots for details. You have to go to Settings -> Device -> One Handed Operation. Turn on "Use for All Screens." Then click the link at the bottom for the tutorial.
One handed mode is not working even after rebooting! Make sure you have all accesibility apps turned off.

Hi there! I tried to install this mod unsuccessfully by replacing the file as instructed, then tried to replace with the original files and didn't work either. tried to flash and nothing. So right now I lost the one handed operation. I´m kind of noob so I think I´m probably doing something wrong, or perhaps is a different version depending on the phone, I have a N900W8. If anyone could help me would be very appreciated.
EDIT:::
I found the solution by desactivating "any dash" app from accesibility. I think it has something to do with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2465085&highlight=one+hand+operation

Thanks Slappy! This works great! (although the update.zip failed to work via TWRP recovery. Have to manually replacing the apk)
Suggestions
1. Change the frame of the windows to deeper color as it's still white which wastes bit battery.
2. I don't know if this is feasible. Can the One Hand Mode stay after unlocking screen?
3. Can it also work for landscape mode?
Thanks again for your great great effort!
it seems like your apk is from a rom earlier than mj6 thats why it is not working with accessibility ON...so please please update it with a newer apk from mj6 or newer

I'm working on darkening it today. I have been working through quitting my job and finding another, so have been occupied as of late... I'm going to change it from #ffffff to #222222.
As to points 2 and 3, it is not something I have looked into, but I'll do some research. I believe that it is just the way it works (in other words, TouchWiz only calls the app when it is in portrait and it does not allow it to survive a lock/unlock.)

I have added a dark version, as per your request. I was actually thinking about this for some time myself. The X-Note ROM author made an all-black version, but I found it was hard to tell where the screen edges were, so I went with a dark gray and left the edges white so you can see them better.
