On my previous WinMo device there was an app that made the phone vibrate every time the screen was touched. It gave a nice tactile feedback when using the device.
Is there a similar app for android?
The app SpareParts has a setting called Haptic Feedback. I turned it on and restarted my phone (might not be needed) and when typing on the keyboard it vibrates and when pressing certain buttons it does also (like holding the end key). So it doesnt do EVERY key press, but some of them.
SpareParts is included in many of the ROMs on the site, but im not sure where to get it as a apk.
Spare Parts is also available on market.

Spare Parts gives only an uncustomizable and long vibration while pressing the screen.
What i'm looking for is an app that gives you for example 10ms vibration for press and for release, anytime and anywhere, not in just VK
any clues ?

the only vibration you get from SpareParts is long pressing the screen/buttons. it has no effect on the vibration to the keybaord. the keyboard has the option in its own settings.
this is off topic but you know what would better than tactile screen taps? if you could change the way SOUND screen taps. i have a jailbroken iphone and i use the blackberry storm keyboard sounds on my iphone. its very nice and wish i could have that on my g1 being that it is my #1 phone.
This is an awesome idea. I would like to have this also
Ok so i've got a rooted Nexus One... had it for about a week... messin around with some roms and I like Cyanogen. But while trying out the Desire port I noticed when you use the trackball to move between home screens pretty easily. Is there anyway I could do that with Cyanogen?
Yeah I really love this in Sense roms too, but the simple answer is no.
Android 1.6 has the "AdvancedLauncher" replacement that can hide the titles on home screen shortcuts and make them essentially invisible to trackball selection. This way, there is nothing for the trackball to highlight and it just jumps whole screens. I have not seen that on 2.x yet.
HelixLauncher has the option to hide text label now but it still allows the trackball to highlight icons, and this prevents the jump from screen to screen.
So far, you can only have this feature on a Sense UI rom. Personally, I'm rocking the Desire rom!
I am on Cy 5.0.6 and I can use the trackball to navigate through all my home screen pages
Hold down on the app drawer button. Flash cards will pop up, you can use trackball from there.

Oh dang I didn't even remember that! I'm not fully proficient with the new UI yet, I haven't had my Nexus too long. So that's another alternative.
I, however, prefer not to have any orange highlights on anything on the home screen at all. This is why I like the Sense way of doing it.

After doing all that I might as well just use my finger and flip normally between screens lol
I was just hoping there might be an app or something that I could just scroll left or right without worrying about going from icon1-to-icon2-to-icon3-to-icon4 THEN to the next screen and doing it all over again.
Hi guys, I didn't see this asked anywhere else. If I missed it, feel free to lock or delete this post.
Rooted my Nook with AutoNooter, all has been perfect for days. Now, all of a sudden, none of my apps will rotate to landscape: Market, Gmail, built in browser, Opera, nothing. The weird thing is my homescreens will rotate (I'm using Zeam), and things like angry birds that load in landscape are fine. Any suggestions?
Have you checked your settings? There is a setting that can be toggled under display to enable auto rotation. I would give you the specifics but my NC is at home.
I saw that option in the Zeam settings, and it is enabled, that's why my homescreen still rotates. I can't find a setting that would control the apps rotation. I don't know if this is a Zeam issue, since everything on my homescreen is okay. And it happened all of a sudden, I hadn't changed any settings or fiddled with anything anywhere else. All I did yesterday was check my email and play angry birds
It should be a setting for your Nook Color not Zeam. In your apps drawer find NookColorTools. Then look for a display setting.
Okay, here is another stupid question... when I go into my nook color tools, my "back" and "menu" buttons dissappear from the bottom of my screen, so how do I back out of a menu? The only thing I can do is hit my n button to go back to the home screen, and when I go BACK into nook color tools, it is still in the same menu I was at before. I can't find a way to get to the main color tools menu. I've killed all my running apps, and color tools still wont go back to it's main menu. Shutting the nook off works, but that's a pain in the butt. I don't want to remap my volume buttons, because I use them all the time. Is that my only option? I don't have this problem with any other app, just nook color tools.
Thanks guys!
Edit: Found the setting in Color tools, so that problem is fixed. I don't know how that setting got "unchecked" I haven't been in the settings recently???? oh well, it's fixed.
...but I still don't know how to back out of a menu in nook color tools without shutting down the device.

You can go back a screen anywhere as long as you can see the black bar on the bottom of the screen. All you have to do is swipe your finger from right to left and it will go back. You can also get Button Savior or SoftKeys from the market and they will allow you to have buttons display over the top on the screen so they are always there
Thanks! I forgot about the swipe feature. I have softkeys but i don't like the additional buttons hovering. I just use the back and menu buttons on my status bar and have my n button programmed to go to my launchers homescreen. Nice and clean and simple. Just the way i like it
Thanks again everyone!!

Introduction
The HTC One is the most desirable new phone in the world right now. Metal-bodied, great-looking and a seriously powerful gadget, this is the mobile that could turn things around for HTC.
We've spent weeks fiddling with the phone, and here are best tips, tricks and hidden features we've found.
Interface
How to change keyboards
One of the few software criticisms we made about the HTC One was that its keyboard isn’t exactly the slickest in town.
However, one of the neatest bits of Android is that you can swap-out things like keyboards.
The first thing to do is to head to the Play Store to find your perfect Android keyboard.
The most popular third-party one is Swiftkey.
Once you’ve downloaded your keyboard, you need to select it to act as your main keyboard within the Settings menu, from the Language & Keyboard submenu.
However, many third-party keyboard apps have their own setup wizards anyway.
Enabling Swype-style input on the keyboard
There are ways to customise the standard HTC keyboard too, though.
The most important is gesture-based input, which we find speeds-up typing no end.
Instead of tapping away on keys, you draw a line between the characters and the HTC One calculates which word you want.
It works a charm too. To turn this mode on, go to the HTC Sense Input menu within Settings > Language & Keyboard and tick the Trace Keyboard checkbox.
How to customise the apps menu
The HTC One lets you fiddle with the look of the apps menu a little.
You can choose how icons are organised, and how many appear in each row.
As standard, it displays just three in each row for a chilled, spread out look. To bump this up to four, drag the apps “scroll” down to reveal the app menu’s Settings bar.
Tap the 3-pip icon and you’ll see an option for Grid Size.
The organisation options are found in the drop-down menu to the left of the 3-pip button.
How to change icons in the HTC Sense dock
The easiest-to-access app shortcuts of all are those in the shortcut dock, which stays on-screen in both the apps menu and your home screens.
You can choose what’s in this dock on the apps screen.
Just hold a finger down on an icon, whether in the dock or not, until the screen zooms out a little then drag it on, or off, the bar.
You can add app folders to the Sense dock
Folder functionality lets you keep boxes of apps on the apps menu – just like those of the iPhone iOS software.
These folders can sit in the main shortcut dock just like a single app shortcut.
They’re added in the same way too.
How to take a screen grab
Unlike most older Android phones, the HTC makes it dead simple to take a picture of whatever’s on-screen.
It’s the perfect way to capture an amazing score in a game that doesn’t have some of form of brag function as standard.
To take a grab, press the power button and the Home soft key at the same time.
The pic will be then saved to the phone’s gallery.
Installing a custom UI
Do you outright hate the Sense UI? Do not fret as you can swap it out for another one.
Whenever you press the Home button, it’s actually directing you to a home screen “app”.
Install another and you’ll get the option to be directed to one other than HTC’s.
Top candidates include Nova Launcher and ADW.Launcher.
To find a bunch, just search for “Launcher” in the Play Store.
Adding widgets to a home screen
Here’s a nice basic one that most of you probably know already.
To add a widget to a home screen, just find a bit of empty space on a screen and hold a finger down on it.
This will bring up the widget control panel.
Two-thirds of the screen will be made up of a box of widgets, with the other bit left for teeny versions of your homes screens, onto which you can drag widgets.
How to customise the lock screen
The HTC One lets you control what your phone’s lock screen looks like, but you don’t do this from the lock screen itself.
Instead, dive into the Personlize menu within Settings.
Here you’ll find options for home screens that incorporate music players, your calendar or photo album.
You can even turn off the lock screen entirely.
Modifying LED notifications
A neat little hardware feature that barely gets any attention is the HTC One’s LED notification light, which sits behind the top speaker grille.
You can control which types of notifications earn the notification LED flash within Settings > Display, Gestures & Buttons > Notification Flash.
You can’t control its colour though, sadly.
BlinkFeed
How to get rid of Blinkfeed
You can’t get rid of Blinkfeed entirely on the HTC One.
HTC is clearly that bit too proud of it.
However, you can hide it from view.
To do this, you need to create another home screen to use as the face of your phone.
HTC veterans may want to include the classic HTC clock, which you’ll find in the HTC One’s treasure trove of widgets.
Next we need to set this screen as the default home screen.
Hold a finger down on an empty bit of home screen, waiting until the widget drop screen pops up.
At the top of this screen you’ll see teeny versions of your home screens.
Hold a finger down on one of these and a Set as Home Screen option will appear.
Tap it and Blinkfeed will be gone.
Well, more or less.
Adding sources to Blinkfeed
Like Blinkfeed?
It works best if you customise it with the sorts of info you want – whether that’s tweets, Facebook updates or articles from the internet.
To do this, head to your Blinkfeed home page and drag down on its panels to reveal the settings bar.
The triple dot button here takes you to an area where you can add Blinkfeed sources, while the drop-down bar to the left lets you pick between types of active source.
Camera
The filter button
The HTC One’s camera filters selection is so up-front that it’s actually pretty easy to miss.
The filters button is the icon that looks a bit like a colour venn diagram, sitting below the camera/video select buttons within the camera app.
HTC offers a bunch of filters, including creative ones like a distorting warp and customisable vignetting.
How to turn on Zoe Mode
Zoe mode is one of the key features of the HTC One.
It takes a short video clip that can also be sliced up into twenty still images.
One of the neatest parts of Zoe mode is that once it’s shared through HTC Share, a short URL is produced that makes sharing the video with friends dead simple.
It also allows re-touching, including removing objects from the video.
We’ve had trouble getting this to work properly, but you can find the feature by inspecting a Zoe vid in the gallery, tapping Edit and then Retouch.
You’ll find Object Removal in this menu.
Best settings for general use
To get photos with the most detail, we recommend at least trying out using HDR as your go-to photo mode.
HDR stands of High Dynamic range, and it combines three exposures to eke out as much detail as possible.
As the HTC One is so powerful, the processing only takes a second or two – it doesn’t slow you down too much.
Unfortunately, we can’t see any way to get the HTC One to save both standard and HDR shots at the same time, as you can with an iPhone.
How to auto upload photos to Flickr
If you’re a big photo sharer, you can set the HTC One to automatically upload your songs to the ‘net.
You’ll find this option right down the bottom of the camera app’s Settings menu.
As standard, the only option is to upload to Flickr for HTC Sense.
Wireless camera shutter
A neat hidden feature of the HTC One is that you can use a Bluetooth headset to take photos you’re when within the camera app.
Hold down the central button on your remote and the camera will take a shot.
Audio
When to use Beats Audio
Beats Audio is a signal processing mode that’s used in a fistful of HTC phones.
It’s designed to mimic the style of the Beats by Dre headphones – that means a lot of bass for that booming club sound.
It works wonders on the internal speakers of the phone, cutting out the harsh mids, but with a decent pair of headphones you’re best off without it unless you have a craving for more bass.
How to turn off Beats Audio
Don’t like the sound of Beats Audio?
You can switch it off – as standard I’ll turn on automatically when you play music.
You’ll find the switch for the feature on the top layer of the settings menu, under the Phone subhead.
Quick music navigation
If you have a big music collection on your HTC One, flicking through all your tracks or albums can be laborious.
To make it quicker, use a two-fingered scroll.
This cycles through letters of the alphabet rather than entry-by-entry.
Video
How to play any video on the HTC One
The integrated video player of the HTC One offers much less than flawless video codec support.
If you have a library of videos downloaded from the net, many of them probably won’t play.
To fill the gaps you’ll need a third-party app, preferably one with its own hardware acceleration.
Our go-to pick is MX Player.
How to transmit video to a TV
The HTC One does not have a dedicated video output socket.
However, there are a few different ways to get your videos over from the phone to your TV.
The neatest of the lot requires a special accessory, the HTC Media Link, a box that connects to your TV.
This lets you swipe any content over to your TV using a three-fingered swipe.
Alternatively, the microUSB socket on the phone is MHL compliant, letting you use it as an HDMI port with the right connector.
You'll find these online.
Hardware
How to reset the accelerometer/gyroscope
This is one most of you shouldn’t really need, but is useful if you find accelerometer games are way out of whack.
You can re-calibrate the accelerometer and gyroscope manually – these sensors can tell what angle the HTC One is being held at.
The calibration works much like a spirit level, and is the G-Sensor Calibration option within Settings > Display, Gestures & Buttons.
You’ll find it right down at the bottom of the menu.
One way to diagnose touchscreen issues
If your HTC One’s touchscreen has gone a bit dodgy, you can try to diagnose the problem using the phone’s Developer Mode.
This is a set of options you’ll find in the Developer Options menu within Settings.
The one we’re after is called Show Touches, which shows little circles where the screen is sensing points of touch.
Hard-soft reset
Software misbehaviour can often be cured with a simple reset.
You can turn the phone on and off again, but getting the good old “pull the battery out” effect requires an HTC special move.
You could rip off the back, but it’s not something we’d recommend. Instead, hold the power button down for ten seconds to simulate the cutting of power.
A prompt should pop-up warning you that the hard-soft reset is about to happen.
Battery
Sleep mode is key
The HTC One has a battery saving mode that’s crucial if you want to have a phone that’s able to last more than 24 hours.
Sleep Mode, an option found in the Power sub-menu of Settings is one of the most important to switch on, as it turns of 3G when it’s not needed.
3G is a real power-sucker.
You can also select how intensive the Power Saving mode is in other respects.
Turn Power Saver mode off in the Power menu, then tap the Power Saver menu option (not the slider) to select which parts of the phone are throttled by the mode – CPU, display, vibration feedback and the data connection.
Apps and Games
Enable non-Google Play apps downloads
Unlike iPhones, Android phones can install apps other than those downloaded from the official app store.
However, this feature is disabled as standard – mainly because some (well, many) apps from the net will be infected with malware.
To turn off this security measure, tick the Unknown Sources box in the Settings > Security menu. Android apps online are shipped as APK installer files.
To install them, transfer them to the internal memory then find and run them using a file browser app like ES File Explorer.
Enabling offline speech recognition
Virtually all top-end phones offer pretty serious voice recognition these days, but you generally need to have internet connectivity for it to work.
The HTC One lets you download a pack of offline voice recognition data to let you use it when you have no Wi-Fi or mobile internet reception.
You’ll find the option to download the pack in Settings > Language & Keyboard > Voice Search.
How to stop the phone auto-creating app icons
The HTC One automatically creates home screen app icons and widgets for downloaded apps.
It’s a way to stop you having to curate your own home screens, but some of you may not like the clutter.
To stop the HTC One from doing this, go to Google Play, head to its Settings menu (accessed through the 3-pip button at the top-right of the screen.
Here you’ll find a tick box for auto-add.
If screen brightness goes down while you’re playing a game…
One curious thing we’ve noticed while playing games on the HTC One is that the screen brightness can unexpectedly dip.
The reason why is simple – the placement of the ambient light sensor means it’s easy to cover the thing up, or shade it, with a hand when the phone’s held in landscape orientation.
To avoid this, try turning your phone around.
Simples.
Security
Backing up to the cloud
The HTC One comes with an allocation of HTC online cloud storage.
You can set the HTC One to automatically back up your data to this storage, or you can use Google’s cloud servers.
You’ll find this option in Settings > Backup & Reset.
You can also make the phone auto-upload pictures taken to Flickr.
You’ll find the auto upload function in the Settings section within the camera app.
Lock screen security
A lock screen security layer is hardly the height of security sophistication, but it’s the best way to stop being stitched up on Facebook if you’re in the habit of leaving your phone lying about when with friends.
We’ve all been there.
Within the Screen lock menu of Settings > Security you’ll find options to use a Pattern unlock, a password, a PIN number or Face Unlock.
Our top tip is not to use Face Unlock as it’s pretty useless as security measures go.
And it makes you look silly.
Browsing
Get straight to Google
The quickest way to get to a web search on the HTC One is using a clever Google shortcut.
Hold a finger down on the phone’s Home soft key and you’ll be taken directly to the Google search page.
Using Google Now
Google Now is a recently-introduced Google service that’s designed to pre-empt what you’re going to look for.
It does this using info cards that appear on the Google Search page.
If you’ve been searching for places in a certain location, Google Now might offer up directions as to how to get to that place.
How to go full screen in the stock browser
If you want to make the full use of the HTC One’s 4.7-inch screen when browsing the web, you need to enable full screen browsing.
This hides the address bar, giving you that extra bit space for web sites.
To find the setting, pull down the address bar and tap the three-pip button to bring up the menu.
Scroll down to Settings, tap General and select the Fullscreen tick box.

I seem to have gotten myself in trouble with this. When I tried to drag an item off the dock and onto the home screen, it made a copy on the home screen but kept it on the dock. So I tried dragging a new item to the dock, and ended up with a folder containing both the old and new items. Now, I can't find any way to get rid of that folder which is stuck on the dock! Anyone know how to do that?
Edit: Never mind, I found the answer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235130
Is there any way to get Google Now to respond to the "Google" voice prompt like it does on other devices (including the HOX)? Kind of a pain to hit the mic icon at the top of the screen when using the One one-handed.
Has anyone tried "light flow" for the notification light to see if the colors are able to be changed?
And has anyone installed swype/swype beta? I'm sure it also works with the H1, just curious.

This isn't working for me. When I select an icon in the dock and drag it to the top of the screen on top of the 'uninstall' nothing happens, and when I drop it onto the 'desktop', it simply replaces itself with another one in the dock. Trying to add different icons doesn't work, either. Any help appreciated. I don't use text messaging and would far prefer to have my Email and Firefox icons in there instead.

Well this didn't tell people how to turn on HTC Zoe so, for those who aren't aware, go into Camera and at the top of the screen in the middle you'll see a small camera icon. Click it and it'll turn blue and will also display another camera icon near the bottom of the screen which says "Zoe" next to it.
Also, the best way to get the Zoe features working isn't actually by capturing a Zoe. When you're in normal camera mode, hold the bottom capture button and it will take a shutter shot. This will produce lots of pictures which were captured during the time you held the shutter button.
Once you've captured what you desired, go to edit the photo and use the editing options available to you.
Why is this easier than snapping a Zoe?
The answer's simple. Zoe shots only give you a limited amount of time and can be awkward to use some of the editing features. Using the shutter button, this isn't a problem.

It's important to note that if you turn off Beats Audio, the speaker playback quality is actually quite bad. Maybe it seems worse because I'd gotten used to the effect of Beats but it definitely has a big drop in quality.
I haven't tested this through the headphones, however.

Ok, figured out what the problem is. Google Now disables "hotword detection" for English(Canadian), which is the default system language on my Telus One.
Switched to English (US) and it works fine now.
