One handed op back button - Note 7 Questions & Answers

When I had the Note 4 Samsung had a control panel similar to pie controls (back, home, menu etc...) that you could swipe from the side panel. It was built into Touchwiz and It was really convenient.
I can't find the option on my Note 7. What gives?
I've tried other pie controls but I get the stupid "screen overlay detected" everytime another app asks for permissions.
Anyone know of a control app that doesn't make that screen overlay window pop up without rooting?

Gesture control works!, ipad style multi touch controls, hide status bar.

Just to let others know, Gesture Control on the play store works with the nexus 7!
This gives you iPad style multi touch gesture control of your nexus and let's you hide the home/back/status bar giving you real full screen apps!
for those of us that arent ipad users, how exactly does one perform such a feat?

You can customise the gestures but for example the defaults are :
4 pinger pinch to close the app/go back to launcher. 4 finger spread out to load a quick launcher with app shortcuts.
3 fingers to the right to task switch to previously loaded app. 3 fingers swipe up to hide status bar/buttons
3 fingers swipe down to go 'back' e.g previous web page etc.
All can be customised or even make a gesture load a specific app
If you guys want true and easy edge Swype gestures try out Aaron’s linaro rom with edge swipe and tablet mode.
Just loving it

I had this app a while ago on my touchpad and now have it in the nexus 7. Great app. Have custom gestures srtu for toggling status bar, etc.

Am I looking at the right one in the play store? $5 and requires root?
I also recommend gmd Gesture control for those who don't have it, in particular the paid version which allows you to hide bar by the swipe of the screen.
Needs root.
Have any of you done this to actually hide the Back/Home/Recents bar?
I cannot find the option to hide it without hiding disabling status bar as well.
Thanks

[Q] How to Map to Quick Compose SMS

Hi Guys, bit of a noob.
Coming from iPhone, I could Quick Compose an SMS from anywhere using a designated shortcut using BiteSMS. In my case, I used the Volume buttons on iphone to activate the quick compose option.
Now, I wanted to know if this could be done on Android. Handcent etc have Quick Compose but its configured when you press the search button. However, the NOTE II doesnt have a hardware search button. So does anyone know how this could be done?
Bump
you could set up a shortcut in the quick command or set up a gesture in gmd gesture/pen control.

Just checked. That's not why I'm looking for. Thanks
Swipepad.
It's free. There are paid add ons, but the free version is good enough as is. You can essentially "swipe" from a chosen hotspot somewhere around the screen and have access to whatever apps or shortcuts you put there.
There are 10 possible hotspots along the screen edges: top right/left corner, bottom right/left corner, top, bottom, upper right/left, lower right/left.
The paid add ons include a keypad, widgets, or more space. No matter what app you are in, you can just swipe at the designated hotspot to access your swipepad right away. Even in games. You can adjust the size of the hotspot as well. Try choosing a hotspot reachable by your thumb.
No root necessary.
Aside from adding the quick compose option, try adding something like Aircalc (free, floating calculator) and a floating note app... you might not think you'd use it a lot, but trust me it is infinitely useful. You can use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher's shortcuts (recent apps, home, app drawer, notification drawer) for even easier one handed access as well.
Ok I've kinda found a solution.
ChopSms has the quick compose feature but in addition to using the search button as a shortcut you can also use the notification centre. So I've just gone for that. I can access the notification bar more or less from everywhere do that'll do me fine.

[Q] How to remove Front Touch Buttons?

Hello friends!
I got my LG G Pad Yesterday
Is there a way to remove the Front Touch Buttons? I couldn't see any options in Settings! Is it possible after rooting?
I plan to use only gestures for the front key button functions... May be we can use the screen real estate more effectively if we get rid of the buttons?
Any thoughts / suggestions?
I just installed an app called GMD Auto Hide from the Play Store. It provides an auto-hide feature for the touch buttons. It seems to work well, except that it overrides the setting on the phone that lets you change the button order. I want to set up the soft touch buttons so that the "back" key is on the right to match my Samsung phone. It appears that the GMD app doesn't have a setting for that. Too bad.
Does anybody know a way to get auto-hide and also customize the button positions?

Thanks for the quick reply.
With GMD auto hide, does the display get extended to the button area or the area just becomes blank?
I am thinking of using GMD gesture launcher to to replace the buttons...

It gets extended. I haven't used it very much yet, but it looks like it does the job, if you don't mind the button order.
Ok, I played with the app some more. When it replaces the soft touch keys, it puts a red line at the bottom. I did get it to put the back button on the right side, but another issue is that it puts a "recent apps" button where the menu button usually goes, then it puts a different menu button on the right edge. I wish it would l wish it had more options to set it up the way I want to.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. The normal soft touch keys were not hidden.
GMD Gesture is fantastic. It hide autobar (your tab need to be rooted) and replace virtual button by gesture that you can define by yourself. Moreover, the developper is very reactive..

Thanks. GMD does the job quite well. I overlooked the status bar on/off part in GMD?

Any way to get old multitaking sidebar bar, or move the current one?

I hate the new swipe based multi window that came with kitkat. Its really easy to hit by accident and it interferes with swiping actions from other apps, such as LMT pie controls and Dolphon Browsers side addons panel which are both accessible by swiping from the right. Can the old tabbed interface be bought back, or at least can the new one be changed to a left swipe?
Ive seen a way to change it to the other side but I dont remember how.

If your rooted then you can use gmd gesture control to bring the volume panel with a gesture.
Or You can get a volume tile in the notification panel with Xposed and gravity box.
I don't know any non root app.
Look for "All in one gestures" app in Play Store.
Don't be fooled by the name: it does what you ask and some other interesting things; no root needed.
