For the longest time most Android camera apps are incapable of auto adjusting exposure to suit the touch-focus area, a feature that's found in HTC Sense camera and iOS camera. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just realized that this feature has finally been added to Jelly Beam on GNexus!! For this feature alone I'll stick with Jelly Bean instead of AOKP ICS.
Just wanted to share this as I thought some might find it useful.
Cheers.

Edit: I'm really surprised by how many people have absolutely no idea what touch-exposure is. The keywords are highlighted in red above. If you still have no idea what it does, borrow an iPhone from your friend, try touch-focus a few different areas with different brightness levels within the same view, you'll know what I'm talking about. Sadly most people don't even know what they are missing out....
This is awesome if true!
You do aokp will start working on jb as soon as the source comes out....

Of course, but until then, this makes it easy for me to choose between AOKP ICS & JB.
another feature I miss in camera is the pause button while recording video, unfortunately this as not been added

im running JB but how do I use it? is it just an auto function?
I think it's automatic... uh "touch-auto-exposure" is in the name. Wherever you touch on the screen automatically applies the correct exposure.
You can also take pictures while recording video, just tap on screen.

I'm always baffled why Google didn't implement this earlier. iOS and HTC Sense have had it for a while.
And guess what, even Galaxy S3 still does NOT have this feature..
better known as touch to focus :silly:
I'm confused. What exactly are we talking about? Does touch-to-focus do something it didn't do before? And autofocus doesn't do it?
I think Touch to Focus was absent in AOSP until JB. I used it today without realizing it is a new feature, works exactly as it should.

If you're already on Hybrid, you should be able to flash it directly on top of RC1.

I believe the threshold is at a dpi of 160. It's pretty tiny for my eyes at least. You can change the dpi in the rom toolbox app that's included.
If we are coming from another ROM do we just flash the multidpi fix or flash RC1 and then the fix?

I dont see why you would need the multi DPI fix if your not running a smaller DPI, the fix is just so the apps included in the fix can handle the DPI change.

Not Touchwiz that i know of....you will have to use another laucnher to fill the screen properly with a smaller DPI.
maybe if someone modded it i guess

I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and am interested in getting nexus 4 like on screen buttons.
I have tried editing the build.prop file with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 but that only enables options in the settings and not the actual keys themselves. Anybody have ideas?

Flash AOKP 4.2.2 JB-1 MR1 Build 5. It got Navigation Bar (Virtual Button) Option. It is the same CM10.1 ROM further developed with more customization options & fixes. Everything is working Great in this AOKP ROM.

Sorry about that, no idea then. :/
Its fine, hopefully somebody else can chime in.
Edit: Just tried out AOKP thoroughly and I feel like its not as smooth as CM10.1
I'm going to bump this. I really like the nav buttons but theres too many useful features in CM10.1 that are missing in AOKP. Hopefully somebody can lead me to enabling the nav bar for cm 10.1

It seems like the app checks for resolution and/or screen density. Restoring the nav bar height to stock fixed it for me.

That's great in theory but you get misaligned themes then that look ugly / don't work properly. I'm watching the app but until they can support full screen I won't be using it.

Yes, it actually does. I'm using CM10.2 NIGHTLY, and it works fine. Plus, many other people with custom roms say it works. If you're on a Nexus 4, or any other device with no hardware keys and just soft keys, make sure that soft keys are ENABLED. (if this STILL doesn't work, I think it must be that it only works with AOSP roms)

You pointed out the reason why they don't support custom nav bar height / expanded desktop: how can they possibly align the themes if there are thousands of space configurations for the same device? Supporting the stock configuration seems like the most logical and reasonable choice.

This is only a Beta app and this kind of support has to come or it will ale off massively imo.
I was using Buzz Launcher until recently and that handles many screen sizes / configurations without issue. I feel in time Themer can achieve or even surpass this level.

If I remember correctly Buzz launcher stretches the assets to accommodate different sizes. This is not ideal imo.

Works for me running xlyon ROM! No problems with 4.2.2 ROM.

This is a build of Launcher3 from AOSP corrected to properly display icons and folders in Landscape. "Properly" is a bit of a misnomer. I fixed it by reducing the size of icons for Flo. I think the correct fix is deeper than that, but haven't found that yet. Anyway, it doesn't cut icons off and works pretty well.
Things to know:
- This is the 4.4 Launcher, but it is not the GEL. There is no Google Now integration at all. (and the long-press Settings icon does nothing)
- The Quick Search Bar will not display after you switch to Landscape. Pressing Home while in Landscape makes it pop up.
UPDATE: The apk linked below is more current than the one attached. It's built with no minSdk restriction and should work on 4.2 or above. (It definitely needs 4.2)
http://www.mediafire.com/?4roil3438gbz6qk
Forgot to mention that this is built for minSdkVersion=19 (4.4) because that is what it's set to in AOSP. I don't actually know if that affects installing from an APK, but I can probably build it for 18 if anyone wants. That should work since it does for the GEL. (I know it needs 16 at least from things I noticed playing around in it)

There's a link to an APK with no version limitation in the OP. I've been told it doesn't install on CM 10.2, but I was able to install (but not run) it on my ICS phone. (I have no devices with JB installed currently.) And again, it does absolutely need 4.2.
I get there was a problem parsing the file with this.

Sorry. Not sure what was wrong with that apk. Updated the link with one which I'm 99% sure will work, and including it below. I tested this one on my Stock 4.3 N7 and it does work. (No transparency) There's no reason it shouldn't on 4.4. It's technically modded a bit, but that's all mostly broken and disabled in this build. I'll be releasing that soon.
