I was curious if there is any way that we could get a mod that can disable the HTC screen leap feature. Am I the only one that finds it annoying? It might actually make sense more usable for me. Any input is appreciated everyone. Especially from the devs. Thanks!

What is HTC Leap ?? Is it like an App ?
If so, couldnt you disable it using titanium backup or something similar ?

It is the pinch to zoom out function in Rosie. I have no idea how to disable it, but why do you want to? It is kinda hard to accidently zoom out I think

yeah the PTZ feature is pretty cool
I guess the main problem I have is that I hit the Home button again and it zooms out. Maybe even disabling the key binding to it or something might be possible?

When using the Desire S should the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons be hilighted? Is there a setting to turn it on if there is one as my eyes are bad and I quite often hit the wrong button by mistake.

Depends on what ROM you're using. Not possible to tweak it if you're on a Stock ROM.
If you're on a custom ROM, then all ROMs with the RCMix tweaks have a feature to keep the button backlight on all the time.
Just go to Rcmix tweaks>Display Options>Backlight settings>Set to "Always On" and you're done.
Hope that solves your problem.
Hi just to update it seems it`s not possible to highlight the soft keys(that is the Home, Menu, Back and Search keys) They are automatic, triggered by the ambient light sensor and from my point of view this is very annoying.
As I am running the stock rom at the moment I am looking at the market to see if there are any apps that will solve this. If anyone knows of any that can do this can you let me know?
Thanks

Like I said... Not possible on stock ROM. In my knowledge... There is no app in the market that can let you do that... Least of all, without root.

Another update, just found an App called Screen Filter it`s primary function is to control screen brightness but is has an option to Enable soft-key backlight. Just the job for me

Sorry for not posting earlier but al89nut is right it does not work. Looks like I will have to down grade my H Boot and root the phone and install another rom

stick a tiny black "electricity tape" over the sensor...that`s what i did and now i have them permanently on....the sensor is located a little above and to the left of the name HTC at the top...you can test exactly where it is using your fingertip

I recently noticed the arrow keys reappearing on the portrait keyboard even though I have them turned off in options (settings>language&keyboard>htc sense input>arrow keys "OFF"). I have cleared htc sense input data and this takes care of the resetting issue until I play any kind of full screen video. This included youtube in full screen, angry birds, vevo, etc. I thought that it might be an app so I put my phone into safe mode...but the same issue occurs. I even went as far as doing a full reset, but still the issue continues. I really could care less about the arrow keys, I just want to make sure at this point that it is just some kind of software issue that may be resolved with a future update, and not a hardware issue with my phone in particular. My phone is completely stock and fully updated. HTC hasn't emailed back yet, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? btw, this may be a well know issue, but I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks so any help would be much appreciated.

i have this same issue. they come back even when i turn them off. the only way to get rid of them again is to make sure the keyboard shows up then turn the phone into landscape mode then back to portrait mode, then the arrows are gone. its a glitch in the software or something.
Is there a way you can disable the arrow keys on stock rom and unrooted? I'm on android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1, but i can't see the option in HTC sense input in where you can turn off the arrow keys..

It's under HTC Sense Input, make sure to look under all of the "advanced settings" , dive into the sub-menus.

When i go to advanced settings, there are no sub-menus.. is it just me? i really don't want any 3rd party keyboard because the stock keyboard is just great, it's just i can't find any option that can disable the arrow in the keyboard. Even in the advance settings, there is none..

I know this doesn't help you at all but I can't find that option in sense input either on 4.0.4 and sense 4.1. Personally I use SwiftKey but maybe turning the arrows off is a feature HTC dropped?

Why in the world that i don't have that option when i click on HTC Sense Input.. my One S is the international version (black with MAO), would that be the case? I wish i could have that option.. the arrow keys really took a bunch of space..

I also have the international version, black MAO. However I am branded on T-Mobile. I doubt it is the reason, though. Not sure why.

Thanks guys for the replies, maybe i'll just stick with it
I saw a kernel i the dev section that allowed you to swipe across the back/home/app buttons to wake the device.
I dont remember which kernel it was though.
Just wondering if any of you guys are getting the same prob as me where the screen doesn't seem as responsive. As in when scrolling thru apps. Sometimes after scrolling, it will register the last touch point as a click. Also. When typing in whatsapp I can't seem to be able to press the send button without closing the keyboard. The touchscreen seems to be registering the touch points somewhat lower or higher than where I'm pressing. Thanks for any replies!! Even right now I have problems pressing the submit button without closing the keyboard :/

Did it start hapenning right away? Are you using stock kernel? What hboot are you on?
Nope! Have been using viper for about 3 plus months now. Since 3.2.4 I've been using those ota updates and haven't really done much. I'm running elementalX 6.5. and I downgraded the touchscreen firmware so that if I wanted to play ard with aosp I could. Am on 2.14 hboot
Try upgrading touch firmware back? That would probably be the easiest thing to try first.

anyways.....
anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

By chance did you backup your stock m8 keys is softkeyz? If so can you attach them here? I did not backup mines and the ones available in-app don't have the stock find button.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.
