Hola guys,
Just bought this big aggressive beast
I was wondering, since i can't hit the menu/back button with the s-pen, if there is a quick way to do that directly from the s-pen
Switching to the thumb is soooo stressful (even anti-easthetic, don't you think?).
Alternatives?
EDIT: Just watching a s-pen introduction on youtube

There is the official ones and two hidden gestures shown here
There is an app called GMD s-pen control which lets you create custom gestures without the use of the button . It requires root though.
Alternatively you can try holding the s-pen differently

I've see much vids of Desire but none of them reveal the capabilities of the new joystick. What are its functions, is it more close to joystick or a trackpad?
its like the trackball of the other android devices, just optical -> u can slide over it....and if u hold your finger on the optic sensor u can klick with it, somebody said in a video that u'll get hardware feedback when using the optical joy

Yeah I saw that vid. Simple swiping and clicking can be done with touch screen either. A demonstration of more precise operations is needed.

A real joystick or a real trackpad allows much more than swiping and clicking.
For example, you can hold a joystick direction to trigger autorepeat or make really fast movements without taking finger off.
it's an optical trackball, for want of a better term.
In the same way that you get optical mice as opposed to a mouse with a ball in the bottom. The optical trackpad is simply an optical version of the scroll ball... in other words, same functions as the regular scroll ball without the moving parts.

It would be usefull in some apps like games or emulators.
there may be an option to add shortcuts when clicking at home screen......like one tab go to appA two tabs go to appB...dunno some imagination

This is what I want too.
Dont want my big thumbs messing up the whole screen.
I look forward to the optical tracking system. I suppose it may be because I don't play action style games. I'm more of a puzzle/cards kind of guy. There are very few times I play phone games any how.
Actually i can't see the optical version making more sense, than the mechanical.
I personally almost never use it.
I believe its main uses would be as a hardware camera-button (that is, for taking the photo), and to scroll in text when typing.
Yep....Useless....I use my trackball about once every couple of days. Touch here and touch there is much faster... Oh wait I use it whenever I install a new ROM.. Just checking the threads trying to find something.

That's why desire is good, no trackball sticking out! Nice and small button with optical tracking ;-)
Can it be used like the N1 trackball for missed calls and sms??
Blinking lights I mean
Just to answer a couple of questions:
1) There is no notification light on the optical trackpad.
2) I've tried this with the Nesoid emulator and while it works, it's pretty terrible to use for directional control, but maybe OK for any games that require 'swiping' motions.

does the onscreen pad and buttons support multitouch? you can use dpad while pressing A for example?

Hi There,
It does support Multitouch, but it is pretty fiddly, I think because the image of the onscreen d-pad and buttons to not line up exactly on the Desire with Nesoid. I have had more luck with the multitouch using Snesoid, which feels very good! (i.e, in Super Mario All-Stars I can run and jump at the same time)
Has anyone had the chance to see if N.O.V.A. 3 has native controller support? I bought it last night but I won't have a chance to try until later this evening.
I looked at some info and seen nothing about custom controls. I am in the process of purchasing it, but if it is like any other Gameloft game there will be no custom controls. I am really on Gamelofts case right now about this as well as their games would be the bomb on the big screen using the Wiimote or sixaxis.
BTW with the ICS builds Wiimote works flawlessly.

i have nova 3 installed and sixaxis too but when i start the game with the sixaxis open it simply FC and freezes the screen.
I just basically took a screenshot of the controls and added the buttons manually in the touch emulation.
Sixaxis now works just fine with nova 3 for me

OK well I went back to the profile I had and I put left button over the weapon switch and assigned it as swipe left. And I chose the right button for over the grenade switch and assigned it as swipe right. I haven't been able to assigned one to switch powers yet as the one I assigned to use powers covers the space lol

No mate just asign one button I tried 2 and it didn't work so asign a button for switching weapons ie left then double tab it and go to button properties then u can choose swipe left or right and then just do the same for the grenade switching. Button use a different button ie right button then do same again double tab and button properties. Hope this helps. I'm totally new to sixaxis so still trying to figure it out myself lol

Sorry, my mistake. What I mean is, how does the phone itself detects a hovering stylus pen on its screen at the hardware level?

Its the nature of the wacom technology.
It's magnetic based, so the location of the stylus is known as soon as you get close to the screen.
The pressure sensitivity is detected by the pen itself, not the screen. The tip of the pen is basically a button.
Current versions of touchwiz and cyanogen for the note 1 both contains the airplay like 'show me the cursor' ability. What the sdk did not have before was the airplay action of 'do something if the cursor is hovering above you'

no rumour, sammobile tweeted " Lollipop will be released around March/ April "
So how will Lollipop work given the buttons that are available on the Tab S e.g. Home , previous apps and Back buttons?

I don't see how its a problem. All the Samsung phones have the same arrangement of buttons. Verizon has already released it for the Galaxy S5.

I only use gestures from GMD gesture control for back and recent apps

How do you disable those keys? And do you need to reboot to make this active or could it be done on the fly? They do bother me when I'm holding the tablet (10.5) in portrait mode.
I'm also using GMD gesture on tablets, much easier than using those buttons.
Edit: never mind, just found there's a thread about it.
Why don't you just root it and ROM it blisspop

I don't think it's possible without rebooting
You have to edit 'generic.kl' file in /system folder, of course you need root
As the title says, does anyone use PIE/LMT instead of the onscreen buttons, how does it interfere with the fp reader if its activatable form the bottom?
thanks
"Instead of onscreen buttons"??? This device doesn't need onscreen buttons at all because it has hardware buttons!
Pie/LMT is anyway much inferior to using GMD Gesture Control which works much faster and more ergonomically. (Works just fine on the OP3.)

Thanks for the reply, judging by some pictures on the internet on reviews i assumed it had on screen buttons: http://www.androidcentral.com/sites...s/2016/06/oneplus-3-display.jpg?itok=K8wUurJ5
whats GMD, only for OP3 or wider available? never heard of it.
you mean this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535740 ?
Yup, that app.
It's really one of THE best Android apps, and I used it on ALL my devices since my first Android phone in 2011. Works perfectly, feels like an inbuilt Android feature.

but yeah the OP3 has physical home/back/task buttons?
yes, it has. case closed. period.
You can still use LMT. I use it on just about every phone I get...especially larger ones. I don't so much need it for home and back but it's super nice to have for a menu button...especially in chrome versus having to reach all the way to the top right (I hold my phone in my left hand usually). Anyway when mine arrives I plan on still using LMT on the sides.
