Pie Launcher for onscreen buttons. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to know if I had to be rooted to take advantage of the pie launcher. I would like to have that portion of the screen back. Is this possible?

Yes, You can hide the navbar buttons with a couple of methods (gravitybox works well) then install LMT launcher. Piece of cake.
You need to be rooted, absolutely.

I'm trying to root but my kids have left my laptop pretty much useless at this point. So I'll be rooting and flashing rinds this weekend at a friend's

Note 2 problem

For some reason when I detach my s pen, the s pen icon and page buddy aren't showing up. It's making the sound and vibration but no icon or page buddy even though it's turned on. Secondly, does anyone have blocking mode icon in your scrollable settings in your notification bar? I thought mine was there but maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyone know why my s pen/page buddy isn't showing up? For $700 I should not be having this problem.

there's a setting for that option in the settings menu did you turn it off?
Interesting... I'm running nova launcher.. I switched back to touch wiz and it worked.. Now I'm back to nova and the icon is showing up when I pull it out. So I guess it's a nova launcher problem?

As far as I can tell those are TW home screen options. I use apex and don't have them either. Blocking mode is there on mine also

What the hell? You have blocking mode at your scrollable settings at the top? I thought I did last night, then I used it for the first time and now it just see it in my normal settings..

It should be between mobile data and power saving. What ROM are you on? Are you using the 15 toggle mod?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't have the mobile data one either. No rom.. I'm stock with nova launcher prime. I only find mobile data and blocking mode in my full settings. I remember having mobile data on my scrollable settings on my s3 but not on here.. Wtf is going on?

Did you flash anything to the phone that could have messed it up

I just talked to another guy who has the att version and he does not have the mobile data or blocking mode toggle either. What's going on here? I'm trying to find out if I have a defected device or not
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I do not have either of those in my pull down either. Mine totals 10.
Yeah man I have 10 too. Okay I feel better now.. I thought it was just me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
10 toggles here too. Don't need or want more.
The page buddy is touchwiz launcher specific. Your device isn't defective.

Err0xx is correct. I have Nova Prime and it is disabled as well. In addition a few widgets are removed as well. I like tue calendar app because it shows exchange tasks as well. It was removed when I used Nova. I tried to levrage Novas resize feature. Back to the drawing board.

I know that this is an old thread, but I got here searching for the same problem with the spen icon, also using Nova Launcher, and as there didn't seem to be a solution listed here, I thought I would post what ended up working for me. After a little troubleshooting with Samsung, they recommending hovering over the screen with the spen, and pressing the spen button 4 or 5 times rapidly, which I did, and now it all works perfectly. Can't comment on the toggles, but for at least the spen bit, maybe I can help someone out.
Same here...your phone is fine....I'm on ATT stock UCAMA4 build.....g
for custom launcher (apex, nova, go, and so forth) use an app from market called s-pen helper and it'll set you through for pen stuff and also for headset stuff. good luck...

Notifications Mod.

Does anyone know of a mod i could apply that sets a little 1 in the corner of the icon, like HTC sense or go launcher has. Really miss that feature from HTC and am so over adding a desperate launcher.

i know AOKP has this option in their rom control settings if you consider flashing another rom.
Nova launcher pro will do this.

He said he wants icon count like go launcher.
..
I have no idea why you would want a mod that does something that a launcher can already do.
I cant imagine there would be a mod for it either. Its like trying to find a mod that makes the power button turn the screen on and off.

I want it for the aesthetics. I am happy with my theme and home screen. Don't want another launcher. I compromised with lock screen notifications. I find this even better cuz now i don't even have to unlock my phone to know whats up when I've been away from my phone for a bit.

Auto Hide Soft Keys

First off sorry if this is somewhere else but I have been through this forum in and out looking for ways to make my nav bar either smaller or hidden to get the most out my screen.
This app called
Auto Hide Soft Keys
Here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
This does it all!
Now I get my full 4.7 inch screen for all apps and have a nice trans soft key. Plus there is a toggle to turn them on or off at anytime.
You only need root for this.

Good app
There's a thread already for this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253770&highlight=auto+hide+soft+keys
I use this app just for hiding soft keys and LMT launcher for navigation control.
Good combination.

You can do that with a custom launcher.

S Pen on CM and Non TW Roms

Does anyone think its possible to use pie controls to show a few user defined apps when removing the S Pen? I would be using in conjunction with Note Buddy, I'm just trying to get similar functionality as you would on a TouchWiz ROM.
Thanks!

Man that seems like a pretty sweet idea. I'd be interested to know this too.
Hopefully a dev could pick the idea up and bake it into one of these awesome ROMs!
