Develop Bugs

[Q] A few newbie questions.

Okay so I got my Note two and I've only just had today to have a play about with it.
I have a few questions if anyone (or more) can nudge me in the right direction.
Firstly is there an app that allows me more control over the track I'm playing? If I remember correctly but I could double click the volume button on my iPod Touch and skip forward or back depending on if it was volume up or down.
Is there anyway of changing the colours of the notification icons at the top of the screen or hiding them?
Is there anyway of setting the buddypage to an app. I like the music one but it always reverts to the stock player.
Last but not least it's the one that I find most annoying. I have a small tab light blue in colour which seems to come and go of it's own choosing. You can add different apps to it and move it to any side of the screen you want to. Is there any way of disabling it so it stops getting on my nerves?
Thanks in advance.

You might take a look at an alternate music player like PowerAmp. I recall it having options to use hardware buttons to control playback.

Not that I know of in the stock ROM. I can't say about other ROMS, I haven't tried them.

I think you're noticing the Multi-Window tab. You can either long-press the back button to hide the tab, or disable Multi-Window completely using the notification toggle.

Thanks for the speedy response mate.
Yeah that got rid of the annoying tab thanks very much.
Not sure what you mean by disabling it with the notification toggle.
But at least I know how to get rid of it when it pops up.
So thanks again. It was doing my head in.

LOL. You hate the one feature that everyone was dying to have.
Pull down your notification bar on the top of the screen.
You will see your toggle buttons up top for various settings, such as Wifi,GPS, bluetooth etc.
Slide that toggle panel all the way across. On the far right end you will see the toggle for Multi Window. Just click it and the setting is turned off.

If you download and use another launcher, such as Nova, you can have full screen. That will hide the notifications, battery and clock…and everything else that shows at the top of your screen.

I have the international Note II and this does not have a toggle for the multi-window menu bar in the notifications pull-down.

Good mention about Nova launcher. I use Apex launcher, and use two-finger swipe up to hide the notifications bar. I forgot that was in there.

Thanks for the answers guys it's very much appreciated.
I can confirm the back button works to get rid of the multiscreen.
A special thanks to mcphail for the pointers especially to Poweramp. What a hell of a player. I had given the note up as a decent music player. I thought also of replacing the earphones.
But the bass is great on poweramp. Fantastic program.

[APP][ROOT] [UPDATE: 10.28.13] Flashlight Widget GS4

Another widget i decided to share with you peoples
I noticed by default there is a "Assistive light" widget for us to put on the home screen. It toggles the flashlight on or off. Well its really dim so i wrote my own widget to do the same thing. This one however gets put on the lockscreen so just swipe over and tap and boom you got a light
May add options for light levels.
Should work on all GS4 variants, only tested on T-Mobile variant.
TO INSTALL:
Simply install the apk, then in your app drawer look for "Flashlight options" and click it to set up your options. (The icon is a flashlight btw xD)
UPDATE 10.28.13:
- Added levels adjustment
- Remove widget and re-add to update after installing new APK
Then create your widget on your lockscreen and profit

Works perfectly thus far and exactly what my phone has been missing. THANK YOU!!

Same for me! Prolly gonna add the brightness buttons to it soon too.
What do you guys think? Three buttons, one for dim, half, and full brightness? Or a positive and negative button to adjust brightness in one by one increments? I think the three buttons would be quicker to adjust the brightness.

In infamous alpha ROM I just have to long press home button while on lockscreen to turn torch on and off. Any way that I can use your app instead as your is brighter.

Lock your phone by pressing power button, then swipe to your left and you should see the (plus) symbol to add lock screen Widgets.

Any way this can be added to the lock screen where I don't need to swipe to get to the widget? Ideally, I'd hit the Home or Power button to turn on the phone, then either use your flashlight widget, or swipe to go to the home screen. I'm a beginner on playing with the lock screen, but a flashlight like yours (excellent job on the 3 settings!) is really the only thing I'd like to access that quickly.
Any way to use this as a home screen app? Ever since I've been on Android, I've missed the 3-level flashlight I had on WinMo 6.5 on my old HD2.
Great effort on this, thanks!

You can tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen and drag it to the RIGHT most "page" on the lockscreen and it will be the first thing you see when you turn on your screen.
Meaning, tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen, and move your finger to the right of your screen until you see the gray squares stop moving.

Thanks, elesbb! Got it working. Now if I could only get the big clock I normally see to show along with your light, it would be perfect, although it seems only one widget per screen is allowed? Again, I'm a noob about lockscreens.
You really make some cool additions to the phone.

Yes, only one widget per screen, currently working on an app that will hold a widget within a widget (not looking to promising) so i may have to edit the actual smali files itself to add say two widgets per screen. (thats something i REALLY want) so once we finally get a sammobile tar of 4.3, i will be working on mods for my ROM and that is one that i widh to add.

Help me remove/hide share bar in sense

Hey Fellas, want to remove share bar in sense 6 (4.4.2 arhd) once you are inside reading an article. That black bar takes a lot of screen and would like to be able to hide it atleast or similar so I get more text on screen.
What to do?

Oh sorry, didn't realise that.
I'm talking about when reading article in blinkfeed see here https://d13yacurqjgara.cloudfront.net/users/22485/screenshots/1493015/htc_blinkfeed_detail_1x.png
do you see the black bar in top.. the share options etc.. Takes a lot of space!
What would be great is have menu pop up with single press on home button or similar and get those options there. (only option I would need personally is read later and go back. Going back is already possible with normal backbutton and reading later is also already available if you go back and longpress an article (seems a bit buggy though doesn't always work)). Then we could get that 15% extra screen when reading!

HTML Clock format not working
I have one tweak that doesn't work for me. Maybe someone can help...
I want to remove the AM/PM from the clock but when I use the Custom HTML format the clock doesn't work; it just sits at the time I set it for. Has anyone else had this problem?
My only solution is to use Gravity Box just for the AM/PM to go away.

I cannot get the action on home button double tap to work. I want to set it to bring up the power menu but every time I set that option, lock the phone, return to the home screen or restart the phone it does nothing when I double tap on the home button twice (the one between the back button and the recents button). Am I missing something?

Would it be possible to translate to Portuguese G3 TB?

Am I right in assuming your actually putting numbers in? If so that's not how it works.
You have to put it in as described with letters:
hh:mm for 24hr
h:mm for standard
The time will input itself.

Is the option still showing as ticked when you return to it?
Are you tapping quickly?
Might there be another mod or launcher setting conflicting with it?

I cant change the nav bar colors. Anyone w this problem?

I have a question. There is a section that says themes and something about 3rd party themes can be used. What does that mean exactly. I downloaded cm 9 10 and 11 themes those do not show up so im assuming that it must mean some other themes. So please point me in the right direction. By the way i love the app. It makes the phone ui tolerable until we get some cm and custom rom love. So thanks.

I'm honestly not sure what the problem was. I tried changing the action on long home button press to see if that would work. It did not, so I reset the phone and now both the long press and double tap options seem to work

Kill App option for Nav bar?

I have seen a few discussions about the topic of getting the Kill App option for the Nav bar. Holding the back button would be the ideal implementation for me. I find it much quicker than going to recent apps and flicking away the app that I want to kill.
I have not found an answer on how I might do this on the Pixel 3. Seems like Oreo had a Developer Option that was removed in Pie.
A Gesture app seems like one approach, but I would like to hear from others on how you do it?
Thoughts?

Hey, do you mean that you want to kill all recents by long pressing the back button?
If so, I had a quick look and basically a third party app can't really do that because in java the REMOVE_TASKS option is a signature-level permission. This means the app needs to be signed by the same signing key as the device firmware. In short, a rom developer could implement this, but not a third party developer.
In short, maybe a request to your rom dev is the way to go!

If you're rooted you can setup Active Edge to kill the foreground app (I have it setup for a long squeeze to kill the app) or use One Plus Gestures and enable kill foreground app for one of the gestures.

I just want holding the BACK button to kill the current app on the Screen.
It is a setting that GravityBox allows and comes in handy to quickly exit an active application. I hope we see this feature on the Pixel 3 XL custom ROM that will be coming out.

Awesome. Are you using the Tulsa mods too? When I install the SystemUIedgebase.zip for the Tulsa mods, I lost all my other mods (center clock small ampm, small LTE, no GPS pin and 3Minit).
I would love to get the EdgeSense and the Status bar mods working at the same time. I have a similar question posted on the Tulsa Mod thread.
EDIT: I had to install the Magisk Mod for Edge Sense and now they both work! I dont see the Kill App as an Action in the Edge Sense app. Is it called something else?
EDIT2: I had to enable ROOT for the EdgeSense app, now I see Kill App. YEAH!

Another suggestion - All In One Gestures! It has a long-press back to kill app option, though I should note I'm using it having both rooted and reverted to the old, 3 button nav bar as per Mishaal's guide. Plus, doesn't work quite as perfectly as it did on my old galaxy phones with capacitive keys, but it does the job most of the time...

On pixel 3 xl, you can get the old 3 button navigation with a long press of the back button giving you the kill app command? I want that!

I'm not sure what All-In-One does when you've still got the gesture navigation pill installed, but these are the settings I've got enabled having reverted to the 3 button navigation (https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-android-pie-gestures-google-pixel-3/):
You of course have to give the app root access, but otherwise no special settings as far as I recall from setting it up. Hope this helps!

That is great info. I will follow the guide once I update to the December release.
Thanks!

Is "All in One Gestures" the same as "XDA Navigation Gestures" When I search the play store for all in one than the XDA Apo comes up.
Edit: I see that they are different apps. I found All in One on the apk mirror site. Any idea what it is no longer in the play store?

My pleasure! It is a different app. I'm coming to the Pixel from a 3.5 year old Galaxy S6(!), and I just restored the app from a titanium backup. I think it was designed for phones with capacitive buttons, which might explain why it's no longer officially available. For this reason, it doesn't work quite as perfectly on the Pixel as it did on the S6 (the kill app function doesn't seem to click with a few apps). But it does do the trick in most cases. For me, I'm so used to the long-press gesture that it was worth going back to 3 button navigation for this alone, and worth sticking with it despite some imperfections in All-In-One when it comes to the Pixel. I suppose if you're still on the gesture system, you'll have to weigh up whether its worth removing the pretty new interface (and the Pixel launcher along the way, as Mishaal explains) for a functional yet slightly deficient alternative...

Here is another explanation
