The Little Programs To Make Our Phones Better Thread! - HTC One S

Hi folks,
I do a lot of research and check several forums and come across those little known about apps that just make life better with your phone so I figured I would start this thread to highlight them and bring them more into the limelight. This is my list below and these are the programs that follow me always when flashing new roms, we all know the big boys like Titanium Backup etc but they are not for this thread so lets leave them out and see if we can't create a better experience for all One S users and get the dev's we feel deserving of some extra recognition for the work they have put in making our phones even better. Please where possible provide links to any app you add to make life easier and I hope you all enjoy!
Side note ~ First thing I highly recommend software wise is TWRP recovery, anyone still using CWM recovery please change to TWRP now! CWM is very old and outdated and causes more problems than its worth. I suggest using v2.2.2.0 as never let me down. See attached at the bottom to download it.
My List -
1) Flash Image Gui - Say goodbye to fastbooting boot.img's on ANY hboot this wonderful little tool allows the flashaholic in all of us to flash not only kernels but also radio's from within a rom! Simply flash boot.img and reboot to recovery, wipe and flash rom and reboot. Nice simple and essential in my book. I would also encourage people to buy the license for $0.99 as dev is very active to help and sort problems.

Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954121
2) Ultimate Rotation Control - The one and only rotation control app that can REALLY LOCK your screen in ANY orientation and also FORCE the automatic orientation to override app specific settings. This is a seven day trail before needing to pay but it is worth it for the per app settings!
Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
Thread Link - Not really a thread link but very detailed summary http://xyo.net/android-app/ultimate-rotation-control-0PkKMbs/
3) Velis Auto Brightness - I love this app! I hate the auto brightness handled by system but with this app I have FULL control of my auto brightness settings AND it has a cracking little setup wizard to help. Oh and the profiles settings is quality allowing me to for example have a profile for normal dark conditions (screen on lowest) or if I'm watching a film I have a movie profile to turn screen up to full. Also features smoothing controls and dev is always open to suggestions.

Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910521
4) Button LED - All I can say is YES! BLN (Back Light Notification) for the One S. Never miss another notification due to the completely rubbish LED we have, from emails to messages and most things in-between this will allow you to have the back lights on the soft keys light up and pulse on and off when a new notification arrives and you get to set the blink pattern! Also features flashlight notifications too!
Market Link - Not in Play Store yet.
Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
5) Screen Off And Lock - Free version does exactly what it says on the tin, turns screen off and locks phone, a nice touch is the working ICS fix which some other third party apps suffer where screen goes off and straight back on.
Included a donate version because the screen off animations are fantastic and you can play screen on and off sounds to if you want. Saves our power buttons any extra bashing and works a treat. It also makes my iturd loving friend jealous!

Donate - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lockdonate&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W10.
Thread Link - No thread found.

Thank you for starting this thread
And yes, Flash GUI is a life saver :highfive:

Guess I try Ultimate Rotation Control and Button LED because the led does suck.

Button LED is a ripass. Missed that from my old HTC Hero.
I always use the Power Toggles. Find it handy on stock rom.

Some older flashables don't have the updated updater script so fail with 2.3.1.0, everything I've thrown at 2.2.2.0 just flashes no problem hence my version suggestion.

CAPATITIVE BUTTON BRIGHTNESS
from HTC one x forum, works with the one s too.
You can enable or disable the button brightness. One s is not officially supported yet, but when it is, the app can dim the button brightness too.

I've just ordered mine off ebay and if Titanium can't handle that mention to dev he is very responsive to feature requests. You can set where to back up too so hoping its nice and easy and shouldn't be too big of a problem to code if it doesn't work.

Em never tried Titanium Backup like that but can always move it over after.

"Kernel Tuner" for one to add, in case some people are unaware of the app. Even if you don't have custom kernel, also under misc tweaks, there is now an option added to the latest version on play store to use a regular cable for OTG. works awesome, have used it personally, but you will still need a USB hub of some sort to go from male to female.
And +1 for "usb otg helper.
One S | ICS Blue XDA Premium | MIUI Sense | Bricked Beastmode

great idea for a thread!
i personally use Screen On and Off, works nicely.

Also, any luck getting this in CM5 stock or has he still not responded?

Its already released, you can check the response it had got, here on the free version thread post #423 onwards.
This will not be included in CM5 due to legal issues but the app patches CM5 itself assuming you are running recognised releases.

That's a real shame, it's not just people who are too stupid to read the description and buy it before realising it's cyanogenmod only?
If it's any consolation, I rushed to buy it the day it came out even though I can't use it yet (on 5.0.6 test2, and haven't had time to rewind)
but they wont get the updates- maybe you need to do an update every week or so and then have it so that when a new CM is loaded it checks the version of the app before patching the framework? or it checks version number before updating database?

[MORPH] HDPI Battery Morph: Dots and Arrows & Arrows Only [updated 8-26-10]

Here's another battery morph, because I know you guys like your custom batteries. Plus being one of the only animated icons, they are fairly fun to work on.
This Morph converts your current battery icon to a series of six dots. As the dots drain, empty dots replace them. When you plug in to charge up, behold–it turns into a series of arrows! wow, hahaha. (idk, i like it...)
This probably wont work with the percentage overlays, as the icons are pretty complex, and dont really facilitate great legibility of the percentages. But one can only do so many circle and square batteries, so I'm branching out to do other ideas and shapes.
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
If you like this Donate here to help out an unemployed designer!pretty please?
==================update 8-24==============
Here's an arrows only version as well that some have requested. This one functions a bit differently than the arrows on the dots version, so check out the screenshots and all icons jpg to see if you like.
=================update 8-26===============
Made some serious improvements to the Arrows versions. Now have both dark and light versions for different colored bars, as well as improved icon size and spacing for better viewing. Check out icon image below.

Do you have usb debugging enabled? Its been in the op in red since I posted, but I cranked the text size up so no one will miss it again. If that isn't it, you prob need to do a full data/cache wipe, including dalvik cache and reinstall your rom. If you are running a rare/uncommon rom, i suppose the pathways could be incorrect, but I have yet to encounter that issue. If so let me know what rom it is, and ill take a look at the pathway and repackage it for that particular rom if thats the issue. But try the other stuff first.

Sorry, but there isnt really anything else I can do to make it compatible for you. There is nothing in the zip that could cause any of that stuff to happen honestly. Its just a zipped folder with some images and xml telling the images where to go in your system.
I would think that if it worked before you themed, but then your phone went crazy after you themed, that there may be an issue with the theme or the way you applied the theme or something else.
That's why I dont create themes though, too much room for something to go wrong. Morphs are much lighter, more stable in my experiences, and easier to apply. But that's just my two cents.

[APP][4.2+] Daydream Launcher

Ever wanted to launch that fancy Daydream screensaver easier? In your Android 4.2+ device's settings, you are only given the options to launch Daydream while docked or while charging.
Now, there is an easier way simply to launch Daydream, right from your home screen, no matter if you are docked, charging, or neither. Just press the icon, and Daydream will start.
I have heard a few people ask for such a shortcut, so I made this; if you have any suggestions or problems to report, please let me know. Also, this is ad-free and requires no permissions.
Google Play link: http://bit.ly/XuPPmv
Also, if you want the source, I will look into putting that up somewhere, too, but it really is a simple shortcut application.
Last thing: if anybody wants to make the feature and/or promo graphics for the app on Google Play, post them here, and I will probably use them.
I hope this shortcut helps somebody out there!

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.
I know this is no excuse, but I have been really busy. However, I got going this week, and have looked into adding more features.
The popular request seems to be for the daydream to start when the screen becomes idle. Well, I have included that, kind of. Some of the features I have added were hard to do, given the way that daydream was set up by Google. There will be a Daydream Launcher Plus app for 99 cents on Google Play that includes many new features and will help to further my development. Also, the current free app will be getting a minor performance update. I hope you enjoy whichever app you choose to use! And, I love all feedback, good and bad (but constructive ).
Have fun, XDAers!

I know this is an older post but wanted to point out that modern led screens are very very hard to burn and it would take years n years of a solid non moving image to burn in, long after you would have retired most phones. Have you ever seen an image burned into any phone?

I have the Samsung Captivate with the Super AMOLED screen. Apparently some image burn in can occur, as I set power amp music player screen to not turn off when playing, and after not even that much use (maybe more than i realized), leaving it on in the car sometimes, now when it's a solid screen, such as solid grey, I can lightly see the buttons (play, rewind, fast forward, etc.) burned in, so wanted to avoid further burn in.
Great app
I just try it and can say that is great app. It is be more better if you make that daydream app start when screen in idle. That be perfect. Thanks again for your work.

[Q] Looking for an app "screendimmer"

Hi, Im using Android (Note 2) and looking for an app called Screendimmer from IOS. Here is the youtube about how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4VWhZtU5c
I use this for whatsapp. While Im chatting and waiting for a reply, the phone usually turn off and I have to press the power button to wake it up. My friend who is using Iphone showed me that he installed Screendimmer on Cydia and solved all the problems above.
I tried to use "tasker" together with "screen filter" but I failed to do that. So is there any app in Android that has the same function like ScreenDimmer?
Any helps.
Thanks

Posting in app development forum will get better results maybe?

Thanks. However, both apps do not meet my needs. They just provide the ability to adjust the screen brightness.

Ban? We could get banned for posting there?
Sewrizer said:
nope. but you can have your thread closed/moved.
you can get banned if you threat people, use inappropriate language, show disrespect towards other users.
if you make a post in the wrong section you usually get reported and one of the moderators closes the thread and if it is necessary they may delete it.

Firstly, Im using note2 with android 4.1.2 so chainsfire does not support.
Secondly, I think you misunderstand my needs. You can what this video and I hope you maybe interested in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4VWhZtU5c
I have been looking for this app for Android but I found nothing. It is available for IOS users and I think It should support Android too :silly:

Yes I also tried that app but it is not what I need. The main reason that I am finding this app is that I dont need to press the power button everytimes I am waiting an message/whatsapp/viber/facebook. The screen will automatically dim (it does not like the screen time out that auto lock the screen after x seconds) and it will come light when I touch the screen. It can save battery (by dimming the screen at the lowest brightness...nearly black) and the power button also.
waiting for some developers who can build an app like this :victory:
P/S: I have an idea that we can use Tasker and Screen Filter, and set a loop with a condition that when a specific app is open (whatsapp for example), if in 10 seconds, there is no touch on screen (I left the phone there for 10seconds) it will activate Screen Filter (that set at the lowest brightness) to dim the screen (not lock it); then when the phone receives touch, Screen Filter will be disable. In that 10seconds, if there is touch occured, it will recount another 10seconds again. I am not a IT guy so I can not do it myself. Can anyone try this?
up waiting for any idea
It seems that there is no developer interested in this app
I have emailed to the developer of the IOS app but still received nothing.

*It Has Come To My Attention That Winamp & a Couple of The Specialized Camera Apps That I Included EVIDENTLY Have Some Library Files That I Neglected To Include. Simply Uninstall With Root Cleaner, Reboot & Reinstall Through PlayStore.......or Not. (Your Call)
.....for Justin Kase
Looks good--found 2 "bugs" so far...
Looks & works very good!!!!
I've found a bug so far...
Camera app is not showing preview in "normal" camera--preview works in panorama. (what do you need to track?)
Did the Winampdelete/reinstall---thanks!!!
Other than that it looks like a DD to me......
Once i am tired of MIUI this will be my next ROM to try
But could take a while^^
Looking foreward to test it though

I couldn't figure out what in the world was up with the camera. The developer said it worked great on the Supersonic except for the FFC. The CM9.1 I used as a base has an impeccable camera as well as 1080p! That's why I picked out a couple that have used before as add-ons to stand in until I MIGHT come up with something.
Other than that....I'm loving it myself! I'm glad you are too. Wait till she settles in...it looks like it's going to be sweet on battery usage too.:good:
As far as tracking errors go anything else will probably be related to the port. In that case it's probably going to be beyond my ameturish control. LOL

Josh's MIUI v.4 is lookin' good isn't it!? I don't blame you a bit either. I stayed on it for about 3 days myself & anyone that knows me knows that's a loooong time for me on a ROM! LMAO Now I have a good nandroid though and I revisit them all as time goes by.

Is this rom really that nice about to flash and run for couple days. See what this chatter is about. Weekend always got something nice.

Interesting....I tried a Gstore 3rd party camera app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera ) & it did the same thing...then pulled the camera.apk from the CM10.1 that is my DD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187130 )...it also did it too
I'm going to think about this one---I really want to like it, but the camera is a deal-breaker for me....back to CM 10.1 Official.....
I'm thinking that it's something in the kernel--3 different camera apps without preview....Hmmmmm....
As for really nice----YES!!!! I ran it for a couple of hours & could only find the camera bug....

I understand how it goes man. BUT....the cameras I put in there: Camera MX & Night Camera were working like gangbusters. At least on mine. With the DoubleShot I KNOW the camera is a huge deal but those are filling in nicely for me.
It's just WAY too powerful a ROM not to put it out there just because the camera we're used to seems to be borked at the time. If you come back to it, try those. Like I said though....I know how it goes.

If you can just get used to the new camera we're not used to seeing, you'll LOVE it. The video even has an option to turn on the LED for night shooting.
That's why I put several out there though. Variety is what makes the world go around.

In my case, the main camera gives me a brief peek at the "viewfinder" image then puts up a black rectangle that covers the entire image. You can clearly see the rectangle's outline a fraction of a second before it covers all the preview area.
The other camera shortcuts just FC, or give me a combo settings screen THEN FCs when camera is chosen.
The only other negative comment I have is that I miss the JB navigation bar. One of our phones has a glitchy BACK button, and Nav Bar compensates for that. (*_-)
Other than that, everything I noticed is good--I'm blown away by this ROM! It's quick, responsive, and smooth.
Thanks, Weekends!
BTW: clean install, several minutes "resting" after flash.

Yeah....in my haste I overlooked carrying some necessary libraries over with those camera apps. You should be able to just go into the market & uninstall/reinstall them and be good to go. OR just use Root Cleaner included in the ROM & then do the Market reinstall. You can also uninstall the main Camera with Root Cleaner. My bad. The Nav Bar just wasn't available in this one & I haven't yet learned how to get it in there. Sorry Jesterfell.

This is supposed to provide a basic nav bar. It probably does not allow customizing or re-sizing.
I've also seen something like it in one of the MT4GS ROM threads. Wish I could find THAT one now.
I will be trying it, but probably not for a few days. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Don't sweat the cameras. Un-installing & re-installing is not such a big deal.

Edit: Oh, BTW, it DOES add it into "Settings/System" with all the editing functions there. I just didn't put it thru it's paces is all.
