How to transfer some ROM options into another ROM

Hey people
so I switched between some ROMs the last month and cant really decide on which one to stay...
the perfect match would be a smart combination of some...
for example:
I much use the SWIPE Android AOSP Keyboard on CM10,1 that allows me to use SWIPE in hebrew which i use frequently. Its the only ROM where I found this till now.
But in CM10.1 is navbar customization missing, for example i like to use the kill app function on long press the back button which can be found on Xylon or XenonHD.
So the question is if i can copy the CM10.1 Keyboard to Xylon/XenonHD - or the kill app on long press function into CM10.1
thank you

Use a 4.2 keyboard apk with Xylon/Xenon.

I dont get it. I am on 4.2.1 and the original android Keyboard apk doesnt allow SWIPE in hebrew. It's a CM10.1 mod or something like this.
Would backing up the keyboard with Titanium Backup do the job? Or would I just keeping getting Errors?

You can try that. Worst case scenario you just un install it with TB.

I am not running CM currently to verify this, but there is an option for "Kill App Back Button" in developers options in my current ROM.

[Q] CM10.1 and GMD gesture control

Since I don't have enough posts I will just ask this here instead of dev thread. My E973 can use GMD Gesture control fine in stock rom but when I flash CM10.1/AOKP I can't get it to work. The only thing that work is the 3 finger swipe up/down gesture which acts when i use only 1 finger to swipe. Can someone test and confirm this?

confirmed
I came up on this post from a search, I am using a tf300 Asus tablet, but I am also using cm10.1. The app works on stock ROMs but on cm10.1 the 'back' does not work, nor does screen off, nor does kill app. Not sure why but also looking for a fix cause I love this app!

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9

so will it work on non root stock rom?

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

I am rooted, but i have the same error... I dont know why, but it only works with in the navbar... however it doesnt make sense to put them in the launcher...
I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
That's what I meant, the navbar. Not launcher.. But I don't know how to make it work.

You can see in screenshots, go to settings > UI settings > navbar settings (Depends on your rom) and add new icon> custom application... it should appear there

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

Sorry, i am a bitb busy for now with other projects(see my signature), but i will see if i can...
Maybe i will do it in the next hours, i am at the gym right now

Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button

This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

I have that already with my Rom. I just thought it would be good to have this for those roms that do not in case I want to switch.

Thanks for trying but buttons doesn't work.
Every time I press added button I'm getting message "unfortunately app stopped"
I'm running 19feb unofficial aokp by bigxie on n4

It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there

Yep
My bad
Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.
What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here
https://github.com/XYAOSP/android_build/tree/jb-mr1/target/product/security
To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

[Q] Torn between Nexus 5 and S4. So I have a question about Menu button.

So here's the deal, I'm looking to upgrade from my HTC Sensation 4G in about 6-months, and I'm debating the Galaxy S4 vs the Nexus 5. As in 6-months both will be roughly $300-$400 used. The only major advantage to me that the Nexus 5 will have is the S800, while the S4 has a removable Battery (VERY useful to me) and a MicroSD slot. And I'm torn regarding the physical button = more screen space VS beautiful onscreen buttons = less screen space.
This brings me to my 1 question regarding the S4, is there a cross-ROM mod that changes the default function of the menu button to recent apps switcher, with long-pressing bringing up the menu?
Reason I'm asking is the Sensation's default menu button action is just that, the menu button, the same as on the S4. And I hate it.
I LOVE the recent apps switcher, but the only Rom that allows me to change the button action is CM, every other ROM only allows the Menu action. Is this also the case with the S4? I'd rather not be stuck with CM forever.
Thank's for the help.
P.S. If any of you had a Sensation before the S4 and found a mod for the Sensation to change the default action of the Menu button for every ROM, can you share it? Thanks!

I had the Sensation. I know just what you mean.
I don't think there is a cross ROM mod that does this. But most custom ROMs have this as a built in feature, to be able to remap the function of the physical home button and the virtual menu and back buttons. You can remap the function of either quick press or long press.
I know that all AOSP ROM's have this feature and most TW roms do too.
So just flash any custom ROM and you will likely get what you are looking for.

Look into Xposed modules. I think this kind of thing is exactly what the dev had in mind. There's an Xposed module for just about any kind of mod or customization you can think of.

So every custom ROM has the option to change it? Even AOKP, PA, and others? Because AOKP and PA don't give any custom button mapping option on the sensation.

How would I look into them? An app? A flashable zip? Don't have much direct programming knowhow. :-\
Edit: Installed Xposed framework. Where would I find the mod to change the button mapping? Thanks.

The next step is getting Xposed modules. These are basically mods that change functionality, and they use the Xposed framework to work.
I think this module does what you want:

Really?
It's a native feature of CM for all devices, including the Sensation, which AOKP and PA both heavily utilize.
So let me rephrase to be more accurate to what I actually know....all CM based ROMs for the S4 hav this feature. The vanilla AOSP roms might not.

Thanks. it's really good but unfortunately no haptic feedback on button presses. :-\ Otherwise it would be perfect. I tried gravitybox as it also has the button remap option, but my "systemUI is not responding" when it's active. :'( Any fix for that? Or does it just have issues with CM?

Darn, that's the same on the sensation, whenever I install a 4.2/4.3 AOKO or PA or AOSP ROM it doesn't have the feature. I read that they moved away from CM as a source after 4.1 and that's why it's different. Well could you do me a favor? Can you try the gravitybox module in xposed framework and see if it works on the S4? I tried it on my sensation running CM 10.1 and it breaks my SystemUI. I also tried Xposed additions and it works but doesn't give haptic feedback, which is a downer for me.
Thanks!

Gravitybox isn't compatible with CM iirc.

anybody hear about the re-release of Goodlock?

It won't work on the tab S3 from what I can tell. But has anybody who's rooted given it a stab?
https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-good-lock-2018-ui-app-876635/

I'm using the task switcher on it currently as that's the only thing that I liked from it.. I'm not rooted (anymore) by the way

How did you get it to work?

One handed operation
Have this on my note, installed it on my s3 from the Galaxy store, slide out home/back button. Can't bring myself to hit the home button with the stylus.

How did you get it working? It says it's not available for my device/region.

This is how you install good lock on the Tab S3 the good lock app itself will not work so you have to install the bits of it separately they will all be different applications there is 9 of them all together but instructions are in the screenshots below
1 download from site
2 unzip and install all app files within the folder
3 ready to go enter all the Apps and start tweaking your device
4 . Download Nova Launcher from the app store the rest of the instructions are at the bottom of the webpage with the download on
https://www.androidsage.com/2018/06...-install-good-lock-for-samsung-galaxy-phones/

I have tested it all and it works some bits obviously don't apply to the Tab S3 like always on display functions etc but most of it will edit things and work it seems pretty cool but personally it's a bit too clunky at the moment for me as I like using the stock launcher you can switch back to stock after editing the settings but every time you want to change a setting you will have to re make Nova Launcher your default change the setting and then go back to the default home launcher I'm hoping they will release it for the Tab S3 at some point as it seems to work perfectly so hopefully one day soon it will be compatible with this device but if you want to give it a go and check it out the above instructions should do the trick
