I did a search on PPCGeeks, XDA, and Google, and couldn't find any app to make the touch screen on the Titan interactive - similar to the way the Voyager touch screen works (quick vibrate when the screen is touched).
Is there any app like this? If not, can someone make one?
Thanks!
You would think HTC being one (if not THEE one) #1 Smartphone manufacture that would have SOMETHING similiar to the iphone or Voyager. The HTC Cube to me is very "amatuer" looking compared to the iphone and Voyager UI. Even microsoft couldn't make anything similiar...hopefully WM7 will blow us away.
I agree that the Cube looks pretty basic (that's why I won't put it on my phone, but I do have the TouchFLO).
But what I'm looking for is for the phone to do a very quick vibrate whenever the screen is touched.
That technology is called Haptics and it is much more than just the phone vibrating. Haptics allows you to physically feel a vibration exactly on the spot of the screen you are touching. Your phone has to have Haptics vibration built into it to use it and there isn't a single HTC phone out there using the said technology.

Indeed.
That said, I'm still interested in any app that does simply what whiteblazer01 asked for. I'm always looking over my fingers when I'm trying to dial a phone number. I'd be willing to give a simple touch-response app a shot.
Anyone?

I have been looking into this also. Especialy when i use the media player or just the main screen shortcuts.
In the mean time I was able to find a CAB somewhere in this forum that enables vibration feedback when you dial a number. It replaces the tone with vibration. I hope you guys like it. (Sorry I dont have support for it because I am not the original creator of this CAB)
Make sure that once you install the CAB that you soft reset after.
Hope you like it.
That's exactly what it is - Haptics. Thanks for the link. The program [email protected]$ put a link to (thanks!) works on the keypad, but it really doesn't feel like the Haptics system. O well, its still cool though.
I found a link to another thread on this forum for the same thing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1685449

I was thinkin about how we can make the phone vibrate when we tap the screen in any application instead of only the dial pad.
I came up with a theory that might give us some type of haptics feed back. It might not be exactly like haptics but it could make the phone vibrate.
There is a feature in our phone that can enable the phone to play a sound when we tap the screen for any reason. I was thinking why not replace the sound with just vibration like the CAB that changes the sound to vibration on the dialer?
Im not experienced at programming, but I am willing to take a shot into making this possible. Maybe some one can get a hold of a good programmer or some one good at registry tweaks to make this possible.
Just an idea

Great Idea [email protected]$, deffinately move forward with it, Ive been using the phonepadvibrate (essentially the same as what you posted) for well over 2 months now and love it. If you could do the same with the normal touch screen it would be amazing.
Yes its not full haptics, but in my opinion it really doesnt need to be. some sort of physical feedback (ie a slight vibration) would be great when working with the touch screen.

Carlos, I definitely agree, I would love to have that whenever the screen vibrated. Although, I don't know who would be willing to do that. I remember when I had the Apache (XV6700), I thought it would be cool if someone could make the LED lights on top into indicator lights for the shift and caps keys - which never happened (I don't know how, otherwise I would do it myself).
In fact, I wonder if someone can make a cab to have the shift and caps buttons make the indicator lights turn on whenever the buttons are pushed, not just when shift lock or caps lock are enabled.

It is very possible. I found other sources and they have some sort of program / prototype that can make this happen but it doesnt work on every tap of the screen.
What I want to do is make mine work on every tap of the screen but have the ability to turn it off and on to save power. Like turning the notification for the sound to play when you tap the screen on and off.
So far I have planned some steps to do it through the registry but since I am not an expert at programming like others are here it might take a while.
But any help is very welcome to complete this project and make it available for all.
As to changing the LED's on your phone. I think no2chem and some other guys found a way to customize your LED settings, but I'm not sure if it will be custom enough to indicate caps or shift. Maybe in the near future.

I am sure you probably have. I have the copy of the program that enables this feature. I believe it is extracted from a phone that has haptic feed back. But it is an executable.
This program is faulty. It doesn't respond on every tap and has performance issues. Other then that there hasn't been another one developed.
I'm trying to find a way to fix the issues of of the one that I found. Maybe by creating a new way to enable haptic feed back like I posted on previews posts, but it might take time to develop because I'm still learning how to mess with WM Reg. and programming.

i still havent tried the program out yet i really dont see the use for it
Let me know what you find out Carlos. I would agree with you that it may be better to have the phone vibrate maybe when any button is pushed instead of anytime the screen is tapped (or maybe have the option to choose?), and also have the option to turn it off. Lol, maybe we can call it "Taptics" instead of Haptics.
As for the LED's, I'll check with some of the other guys about what they can do. I do a lot of modding myself with other electronics (cars, motorcycles, game consoles, etc...), but I don't really get into programming all that much (although the logic makes sense to me).

Okay, so I noticed the phone does vibrate, however, when using the keypad while in a call, it makes a different tone, and does not vibrate.
Also, is there any update on ways to make all buttons vibrate (and configurable) when pressed? And of course, an option to turn the feature off?

I am not sure for all buttons but there is a CAB to make the phone vibrate when you press the screen. I tried it out and it works, but it's faulty and kills performance.
I'm still working on this project. I haven't had much time to work with it, but if any break through happens then I will post it up.
I have searched and haven't found an answer to this yet.
I hate the "Search" hardware button in the lower right of the Vibrant. I never use it, and I keep bumping it when I grab the phone, bringing up an annoying screen I have to close.
Is there a way to disable it, or at least rebind it to something useful (like Vlingo) ?
I'm running the stock OS from t-mobile, rooted.
Thanks in advance,

Nobody knows how to do this??

Hi,
i have 2 year old kid he loves to watch cartoons or videos.
Is there any which blocks the touch and home button. On the iphone there was a application like Incarcer where you had to press volume and down to enable home and touch again.
Is there anything similar for an android phone. Got a galaxy s1 9100 and galaxy s 9000
Thanks.
If you want to stop your Kid from accidently making changes to your phone...This helped me a lot...

thanks but this is no use to me. I want him not to turn of the videos iam playing for them. At least he sits quite for a while when he watches some cartoons/videos. As you know they like to press the home button which closes the application like you tube or gallery. Also the touch screen which pauses the video. Need something which can prevent it
iphone had the tool called incarcer from cydia.

live lock app looks like it might work but says its not for my device... any way to make it support mine? :/
http://www.appbrain.com/app/live-lock:-youtube-kids-lock/com.brink.livelock
Hey Guys,
well the topic already explains my concern. I would like to know if there is a way to activate on-screen buttons on my S3 like its standard on the GNex and deactive! the touch buttons, but not the Homebutton .
I find it not convenient to use the touch buttons because they are pretty far down in my opinion, Im always scared to drop the phone if I dont use two hands, while trying to touch it and sometimes if I push stuff whats on the bottom of the screen, I accidently push the touch buttons, this is pretty anoying too.
So, is there maybe someone working on sth. like that or is it even possible to change this without flashing a custom rom?
Thanks n greets
Rob
No one an idea?
I would also like it if someone can do this.
It's definitely possible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696092
You know how some electronics have a physical lock switch to turn off all buttons and screen input. Is there such an Android app that would give me the option of assigning a button.. maybe a long hold on volume down or up that would lock all input out? Just would be nice when I'm jogging with music or watching a video . there's gotta be something but I'm not finding anything...
Ok. So you want an app who locks the screen while you watch a video, for example. There's no app for this function. But, if u want to lock the screen while you watch a video, try MX Player. The app Blocks the screen while u watching!

Yeah that option in mx player is great. Just wish it was a option in android..... Imagine holding the power button down..and when it brings up the options to shut down..restart.... Silent mode... There was also another selection to lock device.... Sounds like a great option..... Yeah?

Just curious.. What possible effect would that app have..
Not that its a bad idea.. I've already started searching the market for an app like that...
Tasker would be good app... Yes??
But in your case what are the probability that the screen will come on..
If its in ur pocket.. You'll first have to do really well to Press the Power button and even then it will only go to the lockscreen.. And some even if it unlocks only then some problem will occur..
Sad thing is it happens to me sometimes..
Keep this thread alive.. There's gotta be some solution
Cheers
For me it would most be when I'm running.. I like to look at my pace occasionally.. if screen times out I gotta hit power/unlock then be careful I don't touch the screen and pause my run or do something.. Also music and vids(netflix).. or if I hand my phone to someone to watch a video or picture I took or to look at something.. when handing it over they always tend to touch the screen and pause or scrub the video.. especially grandma!
