[Q] How to disable zoom? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi guys.
The feature that causes the screen to zoom in when doubletapped is giving me fits. I'm not consciously doubletapping but it constantly zooms in , driving me nuts. I did a search but cannot find anything on this.
Is there a way to disable this zoom feature when on the internet?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you're not just swiping your hand along the side of the phone (the screen going vertically)? This is a Jellybean "feature" with no options to disable. There are a couple roms in the Dev section that have it removed, but I don't think its a simple edit to get it out.

Yeah currently infamous rom has option to disable in the latest build. I think jovy is planning to implement that as well but he is under the weather. But the is no simple way to remove or disable now.
we are all Noobs at XDA. please help each other.

Swiping finger to move through Screens, Help please!

Wondering if you lot could help me.
I’m working on a mobile app, on one of the screens there is a box for the customer to “sign”, but if the customers signature have a horizontal stroke in it, it causes the app to move to the next screen.
This only appears to be happening on WM6.5, what is this feature, I first thought it was TouchFlo but I have disabled all that, so is it something within Windows and is there a reg hack or way to disable it within settings.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
I don't know a way of disabling it, but I assume you're using a tabcontrol as that functionality was added to them in WM6.5. Since I don't know if you can simply disable this (I doubt it as well), I'd recommend using panels rather than a tabcontrol.
Sorry if that's not a relevant post, but that's the only reason I can think off that a horizontal swipe would cause what you described.

[Q] Disable soft key lights? Change lockscreen? (CleanGB 1.12)

Some time ago, there was a thread about how to disable the soft keys and keyboard lights. I read a lot of ebooks at night and it would be wonderful if there was some way to toggle those on and off. I'm not that knowledgeable about scripting and the like, that thread was beyond me. Is there an easy way to do this?
Another minor issue the CleanGB 1.12 lock screen. Great rom overall, very stable, but I have some trouble with the right to left swipe of the standard lock. Is there some way to change this to the upward swipe method?
Thanks for your help, I always feel a little out of my depth with significant modifications.

Don't know about the lights but the lockscreen is right in the OP. He gave people the choice of lockscreens.
Sorry, I didn't see the checkbox for which lock screen was the default. I guess it's the touchwiz version i'm after. No thoughts about soft lights?

Yeah he has a Touchwiz flashable lockscreen in the OP. As for the lights best solution is 2 words....black tape. I had heard some ROMs I think CM7 had linked those lights to the keyboard timeout.

There were some promising suggestions in the second page of that thread, though I'm unsure how to implement them. Navigating to those files in root explorer and modifying them doesn't seem to do much.

CM developer mkasick has looked into it, and thinks it might be kernel related. But even he isnt sure so we're all doomed for sure rofl

[Request] HTC Sense Mods - Xposed?

Hey guys, Im currently running Trickdroid on my HTC and im really enjoying the HTC Sense feel. However, there are a few very minor things i thought that might make the experience that much better.
For one, i really like the HTC Sense stock camera; Easy options, Zoe, the seamless switching etc, but i would really like to be able to manually adjust the focus. I found you can change the exposure but i cant find any focus options.
Another thing (very minor) being the Sense "Recent Apps" ( double tap home) , for some reason it doesn't seem to support "multi-touch" and i can only swipe away one app at a time, even if i start from top to bottom. It would be awesome if i could just quickly swipe apps away before waiting for the fading animation to finish.
And lastly, the lockscreen. I do like the simplicity of the stock lockscreen but there's one thing that annoys me occasionally, if i miss tap or don't swipe properly it pops up with a short animation and says "Pull up to unlock" and the screen is unresponsive for the second the animation is happening.
Like i said, these are VERY minor things but having a solution would just complete it.
If you have any suggestions or fixes, they would be greatly appreciated
Possibly through XPOSED Modules?
Bump.......Ideas anyone?
I've never seen anything about anybody else asking about these issues so I would think the chance of a Mod existing or being made is very slim indeed ... You could ask in the Xposed thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241&highlight=xposed ... Maybe the Dev could help you out.

Stock browser magnifying box?

Im trying to find out what I did only one time and cant get it to do it again. Basically I was ib the stock browser and trying to access the side swype in toolbar as I have the setting on in labs. And I accidently ended up with a rectangular magnifying box that I fould move around with my finger. It reminded me of an iphone were u are trying to move the cursor when typing. If anyone knows how to actually use this feature and can let me know I would appreciate it. I tried googling as best I could and only find results from the s4 having a similar feature. And for anyone who may suggest it is a motion enabled setting I have them turned off completly. And as well this was done with my finger not the Spen.

Tablet UI

Yes, I know it's been brought up quite a bit...
This is really bugging me. I had the original Kindle Fire and put ICS on it and loved it. The Honeycomb-style user interface rocks. I bought a Nexus 7 thinking that I'd be able to put it into that mode with KitKat (the point of owning the Nexus # is to have the latest and greatest, right?), but have found myself unable to do so.
Is there any way possible to enable this on 4.4? I'm running into a gap on this discussion; most stopped talking about it about a month ago it seems. AOKP? Do I have to copy and paste the tablet UI code from 4.2 into 4.4?
This is Android. ANYTHING is possible. I know it has the potential to be done.

I was under the impression that google removed the tablet UI from kitkat altogether.
I thought I wasn't going to like the phablet UI but I got used to it, and now it just makes sense to me on a tablet this size. I say give it a chance, you might grow to like it.
I hate it, i'm forever catching the navbar when typing in landscape or passing the device to a friend because of thin bezel, it'd better located on it's side in the same portrait position next to the shortcuts & apps drawer button.

I do agree with this. When in landscape it is in the most inconvenient place possible. I would love a way to force it to remain on the right side but I haven't been able to find a solution other than setting the whole tablet into phone UI mode which then messes with the notifications shade.
If you're only problem is the nav bar, try GMD auto hide soft keys. It works great.

I tried that, not really what I'm looking for. I don't want something that overlays the navbar and hides it when not in use, I want a permanent navbar that just stays on the right side of the screen. With GMD even if I turn auto hide off, it will still hide it when I rotate the screen, and when I swipe to bring it up it always covers part of my dock icons.
Have you tried gravity box xposed module? It gives you the ability to run pie. Or if that's not your thing in navigation bar tweaks it has an always on the bottom feature. It shouldn't be too difficult to make it always on the "short side".Why not ask the Developer in his thread ?

I've used the pie before on my gnex and it was OK. I might give it a shot. Android is starting to feel quite dumbed down lately...

Yep, I use GB on all my devices. I use PIE + expanded desktop when I want to game in full screen. The always on bottom tweak isn't what I'm looking for either. I want it to remain on the right in landscape. I appreciate the input though.

No probs. The part about keeping the navigation on the "short side". I meant on the right (Short Side). It`s worth asking the developer surely
CM10+ and PA had the tablet UI I though and you could pit it on the right hand side. I'm not sure if this applies with the newest KitKat builds though.
