Hey all, just wondering which ROMs (if any) have the htc logo converted to a menu button (as I'm sure many have heard is a possibility).
I am also wondering if any are planning on enlarging the hit-box for the home and back buttons, as they seem to need a much more precise touch to trigger than my previous HTC phones.

I mean seriously watching this video the buttons don't even vanish when you're in an app. I mean seriously how did Google think this was a good idea? Means you just hit them all the time or you have to be really careful where you touch and they don't change to which way you hold the phone.
How hard is it to A. Use that massive bottom part of the Bezel with Hardware buttons or B. Have some kind of gesture to hide them? I don't care if there is some rooted app out there, it needs to be standard, I just don't get how Google have overlooked this. People keep making a case that software buttons are better because you can change them....... have they ever changed? They've been the same standard design since I started using Android and whocares if they change in the future? I'm using my GS2 and the buttons work fine, just because they look different doesn't mean they have less functionality.
this may come off as I'm defending the Nexus 4 mindlessly but I'm not a huge fan of touch screen gaming. The whole reason I got the Evo Shift instead of a higher end phone was for the keyboard so I could play my games the way I like. I actually just bought a PS3 controller for my phone but I have to wait until Sixaxis Controller updates for 4.2. Though of course it doesn't work with most app store games, but I don't really enjoy playing those anyways

This is not a Google problem, this is an ap developer problem. They can design the game to function like you want but they choose not to. Blame them, not Google.

The whole point is to create the "physical button feeling" yet have them flexible for different apps. I think its a great idea! Physical buttons are annoying and are locked into doing only one function. Getting rid of the navigation buttons is like telling apple to get rid of the app dock at the bottom of their phone..... that's the way it was designed for the majority of users. If you don't like it then find a way to change it....you can its Android.
Dude chill... the software buttons are just another method like capacitive touch buttons..just incorporated into the screen. jus look at the specs of the nexus 4 as it has a 4.5 inch screen... if u cant live with that and want a bigger screen then fine move on and get the one x+ or something that has 4.7 inch screen plus capacitive touch buttons.unless you want THEM to disappear in an app too...
If we are going to complain about button placement can we not start with developers persistence with placing menu buttons at the top of most apps! They either have long fingers or small phones. I found this annoying on my SGS1 and very annoying on my Note 2, for obvious reasons. IMO Boat Browser is one of the few browsers that have placed the menu and navigation buttons in a sensible place.
I'm actually a big fan of the software buttons. This is one of the reasons I changed from the OneX to the Nexus4.
There are so many more interface possibilities with the software buttons, and as mentioned earlier the software devs need to make their apps more aware of their presence.
I haven't had to used on screen buttons with my gnex for about 10 months now and same with my Nexus 7 since I got it. There's a way to remove the on screen buttons by modding the res-framework apk. It's as simple as finding the option and and changing it then recompiling the new apk and pushing it to your phone.
Not sure if it's still this simple since I haven't had to do it for a while now that there are a few roms with the option to remove the Nav buttons. I would try if I had the Nexus 4 but that might not be for an while now.
I'm sure this feature will be included in nexus 4 roms too just be patience. I'm the meantime you can check out LMT, its a nav button alternative that uses pie menu that disappears when not in use.
If done right, the on-screen buttons are actually great.
If there are no dedicated buttons. they could either make the screen bigger, or remove the bezel on the bottom of the device, making it significantly smaller.
Also, there needs to be an option to hide them manually whenever you want, whether the application supports hiding the buttons or not. I know that there are such features in CM10 and other custom ROMs, but this needs to be a default feature on any device with on-screen buttons.
I like the buttons and they are not visible when viewing full screen video. That to me is when I care most about the screen space.

I love the buttons. Looks so much better than actual hardware buttons.

A lot of us like the onscreen buttons. If you don't, get another phone. Most don't have them. Those of us that like onscreen buttons have like 2 options, you have 100000. If Google puts capacitive buttons on the next Nexus because of whiners like you, I'm gonna be really upset.
I would have preferred hard buttons and a full 4.7 screen. Similar to the One X. There are only 3 phones with on screen buttons. Most game devs are gone make thier games for the biggest market which is hard button phones.

So am I. It makes navigating through the system easier and a lot smoother. Just like the multitasking icon, you don't have to press and hold like in the galaxy s phones for example. Also OP, the software keys disappear when you watch a vid, YouTube etc.... And you mentioned that they should use the bottom bezel, well that's where the notification light is.

Nope. There's lots. The two Nexus, all the new Motos, Sony have started using them (Xperia T), Asus Padfone uses them too.
I hate people like op. If you know that this device has on screen buttons - and you should know this by now because there was galaxy nexus with same buttons- why the fcuk did you buy it in the first place? The whole spec sheet is there, all the info about the phone is written down... I knew it has glass back I knew it has non removable battery or no SD card or friggin buttons. Don't complain if you know what you're buying

The worst thing about this phone is its ability to attract users like the OP who don't bother to look at what they are getting and then to come in here on XDA and create the most ridiculous threads. I hate that about this phone. Anyone know a fix?

At first I thought it would bother me coming from a Gs2 Skyrocket but really it looks so much better. It does make it so much easier to navigate and if you don't like em we have all the best devs migrating to the N4 so I'm sure we will have many different setup options soon. I'm loving the stock right now though buttery smooth.

Disable the touchscreen?? Then how you gonna use your phone?
Sorry but if spen is working then how is touchscreen disabled.... This is a bizarre question indeed.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I don't want to disassemble body and disconnect touch sensor.
Maybe software solution? No?
I'm sorry, but don't understand why you would want to?? It would leave the phone inoperable.
Spen works on the principles of capacitive touch, passing a current through to a layer of the screen. You can't disabled touch without totally disabling it without some custom advanced tweaking that would recognise minimal interaction of the spen vs finger.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
he wants to disable only touchscreen, not the spen sensor.
Try to set your touch sensitivity to 0.
It is possible to do this.... I had the korean version of the Note Version 1.. now i have the Note 2 international version and it doesnt have the option to disable the touchscreen... Im guessing you want to disable it because you want to draw on your screen and not let your hand affect your drawing when your hand touches the screen....
can anyone help of a hack maybe a hardware button to disable and enable it?
bump
My touch screen as completely gone bonkers to the point where it is difficult to use, and I'm very curious if this is possible. I assume this is possible like the OP because the S-pen uses a separate wacom digitizer as far is I understand and not the capacitive digitizer. Please correct me if I wrong.
I know my issue is with the the capacitive one because the last rom I was using didn't support the S-Pen and I was having the same issue. My touch issue, I'm certain is hardware and not afford-ably fixable. I would like to disable it and just use the s-pen if at all possible to hold me over till galaxy s4 comes out.
Maybe if you use an app to reduce it's sensitivity to a point that it won't work anymore.

I hope you're right. I did a side by side comparison of my Nexus 4 and HTC One Developer Edition, and for me I can confirm there is definite input latency on the HTC One (at least on the specific device I received). On my HTC One, a good way of checking this was in the browser -- if I placed my thumb on the screen and held it there (in an area that doesn't have a link so a dialog box doesn't pop up), and VERY VERY SLOWLY rocked my thumb up and down, the screen didn't scroll at all. Not only that, but at this point if I kept my thumb pressed on the screen and moved it at any speed up and down the entire display, nothing happened at all. It's not only until I removed my finger from the screen and placed it back down again that the touch input worked again. This DOES NOT happen on my Nexus 4 -- rolling my thumb ever so slightly results in very minor scrolling -- the way it should work. I will hopefully record a video of this and throw it up on YouTube so you can see what I'm talking about.

That is very interesting indeed. I can confirm the same behavior on my One. Time to pull the SGS3 out of mothballs and see what happens there.
Must be something wrong with the DEV edition, because my UK One is faster and smoother than my old S3, Sony Xperia Z and Nexus 4. There's no input latency on my One, certainly none detectable by humans. Also on the test above, the screen moves perfectly fine.

Also if you hold your finger to the screen and move it very very slowly, it won't scroll at all until you start increasing the speed of your movement.

Same thing happens on my Note II, never really bothered by it though..
i'm coming off of samsung galaxy s3 and iphone and those phones have the Physical Home Button to turn the screen on!
My question is, is it uncomfortable to turn the screen on with one hand, since you've to reach the power key since there's no physical home button on the HTC one??
just from your experience, how do you find yourself turning it on/off -Comfortable or uncomfortable??
Thanx

After I've installed my screen protector (crystal clear protector) sometimes my home/back button become unresponsive and I have to turn off / turn back on the phone for them to start working.
Wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing with the screen protectors on the phone?
Is there anything I can do?
From what I've gathered from reading various posts on this forum, this is an issue related to the firmware on your device.
My understanding is that the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons was too low in firmware versions below 1.29, meaning that any Ones that received the 1.29 OTA should have this issue fixed. Can I ask what carrier/country you're in? I'm in the US on AT&T, and am currently stuck on the 1.26 firmware. I have the exact same issue, and currently am just not using a screen protector until AT&T releases the new firmware (it looks like European and Asian users have largely all gotten this update).
Well I'm on a Canadian rogers one. Which is the same as yours but ever since I rooted and installed trickdroid it seems to be working fine now. Are you on stock Rom ?

Yes, I'm still on stock (I actually find it quite good for my needs).
Try rooting it and installing a custom rom if you want. That fixed my problem for this at least
