Google Keyboard (GBoard), no one handed mode - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hi all,
I´ve a small but interesting Question. For a couple of Weeks I tried installing the Google Keyboard (GBoard) on my Tablet. I was hoping to be able to use the one handed mode (hold Tablet firmly with one, and type freely with the other). But after I installed, reinstalled, googled and everything. I can´t find a way to enable it. It should be as easy as longpressing the "," and from there access the settings and the one handed mode. Well, it doesn´t work. By the way my device isn´t rooted.
Any suggestions, may be some of you with a rooted device can give it a try? Or maybe some with the Lineage OS?
Thanks a lot,

Not on LOS either... Using SwiftKey for now...

I don't think that this feature is supported for some reason on tablets, which is very disappointing and frustrating. Even if they didn't think it would be used a lot, since the feature already exists, shouldn't Google have just left the feature in and let the users decide if it was useful?
I would seriously use this feature everyday, especially in landscape mode!

Just installed LOS 7.1.2 on a phone and on a tablet. On the phone´s Gboard I can activate One-Handed-Mode, on the tablet I can´t. So same OS version, same Gboard version, still no option to select. Switching back to Swiftkey.

does anyone have a solution yet?
xposed/magisk module maybe?

+1 to landscape one handed !!!

Not supported for tablets, i presume.
Traditionally Android contains a tablet, phablet and phone mode, but this might have changed in recent years.
Altering the DPI value and other scaling options should force the system into another mode. Along with other changes, like dual column view gone in apps, bars and buttons too big...

Tablet mode of an App ?

Hi,
I use a few apps on both my Tablet and Phone, and these apps are the same on both, not version for each. I think some of the apps look better on the Tablet compared to the way they are drawn on the phone. Is there anyway to switch these apps to Tablet mode (Not the whole phone) other than contacting the developer ?
It would be really hard to modify each app. And sometimes I can't even recompile and app and of course have signature issues as well.
But you can try Paranoid Android that has the option you're asking for.
Hit THANKS if my post helps you!
Thats a step too far today , plus i've a locked bootloader. I didn't read into it too much.

[Q] Is the per-app fullscreen option already available in PA 4.3 Beta 1?

Hi guys,
I am running PA 4.3 now on my N4 and coming from 3.99 I am missing the option to run apps (especially games) in full screen mode with pie enabled.
For some games in PA 4.3 e.g. Hill Climb Racer it is automatically set to full screen/PIE mode.
So there must be an option or a list or something where you can add those apps to start in fullscreen mode, right?
If that option still exists I can't seem to find it Can anyone help me out please?
Thank you very much in advance
Hybrid engine is not yet implemented
Alright, thank you for your answer!
I thought hybrid engine basically was to run apps in tablet-like mode? Like the settings menu in PA 3.99 for instance, which was quite useful but has not been implemented yet, I know..
Running apps in full screen or immersive mode is something else I think..!?
However, if it has not been implemented yet, that's fine. But I find it rather confusing that some apps automatically start full screen and am I asking myself how that is possible!? Or how I can do for some other apps.
I probably will have to wait anyway until the PA-team announces it.. just really missing that feature
cheers

Hybrid was more than just tablet UI.
It has not been finished for 4.x yet.
As for the apps that automatically launch in FullScreen mode, it is the app itself calling it, not the ROM controlling it.

Andromium OS

Has anyone tried to install Andromium OS yet?
It is now available on the playstore now
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromium.os
can't test it myself right now, but interested in your experiences.
App requires 4.4.2 As Said in discription. So it might not work.

And I don't think our processor meets the minimum specs. Too bad. I'd love to try it.
Edit--I tried it. Side loaded it but it wouldn't show up under apps. So I pushed it to sdcard but it said parsing error (of some sort)
Only reason I tried is because for fun i installed it on my KFHD7 running CM 11 and it installed and ran relatively well. So I don't think it's the hardware that's the problem for aftv. This is a great idea btw. I only just heard about it in this thread.

I played with it briefly this morning on my Galaxy Note 3. It doesn't seem like something worth using on the FTV, but for a tablet being used with a keyboard and mouse, it's very promising as a laptop alternative.

I was thinking it would be a good option since the mouse cursor was broken with the last aftv update. I assume with andromium you'd have a web browser that's easier to use plus I like the way it can be easily launched/shutdown in the status bar (at least on phones and tablets), so those that use launchers might like it more. Guess it don't matter. There's little reason for amazon to upgrade aftv but hopefully we'll have a custom ROM in the future.
Their ad used to say you only needed Android 4.2 to use it so maybe you should edit the first post to ask people if they have the old apks from earlier this year, cause older versions may work. Just a couple months ago it was working wth android 4.2. So if anyone has version 0.1.3 or older they should post the APK here. Versions 0.1.4 and 0.1.5 do not work, but older versions probably do since they only required Android 4.2. I did a google search so I know there was versions numbered 0.1.1, 0.1.2 and 0.1.3, but could not find the apk files.

If the mouse cursor is broken, wouldn't that make this even less usable? There is no native mouse cursor for Andronium so if the system cursor isn't visible, then it would be very difficult to control It does have a browser, and certain apps will work natively with it, but not many yet, and those that are supported do not fit inside a window. Only the Andronium specific apps will be windowed. Of the several hundred apps on my phone, only seven were natively supported. The others are hit or miss. . Since the FTV doesn't have a status bar, then that functionality would be lost on the FTV, as far as turning on and off Andronium. This app has lots of promise, but don't think it's a good fit.

You obviously looked into it more than me. What I saw was a clean desktop interface that I naturally assumed would run most applicable android apps. And thinking more...yea. Since the most cursor is now invisible in most apps, it most likely wouldn't show up in andromium either. Lots of potential there, but if its purpose is to be a PC alternative it has a ways to go.

I was interested in it awhile back for my tablet for work trips. Much easier to bring along a bt keyboard and mouse to go with my tablet than both.

Disable FullScreen Keyboard (NO ROOT)

Hi,
I would like to suggest to our moderators or to our app developers if they can tweak the Xperia Keyboard or Google Keyboard to disable the fullscreen feature whenever you are on landscape mode (like playing games, watching movies etc.).
The reason for this request is the fullscreen mode on landscape is quite annoying since it covers the entire screen.
Actually, I found a good solution for this but by using an Xposed module. However, I don't want to root my phone since I just bought it a month ago. I hope someone can help me do this without the need of rooting the phone. Command via ADB shell will do as well if there's a certain command for that.
I'm using Huawei P10 VTR-L29C636B162
Thanks!
Hi,
I don't have anything issue like that with Gboard. Can you post a screenshot for better understanding, what you exactly mean?
And we also need your phone model and firmware version.
I'm on VTR-L29C432B162.
As per your screenshot and with the attached image below, you will see that our keyboard on landscape mode covers the entire screen and this is not helpful when playing games, (like mobile legends). But, if our keyboard has an option to disable fullscreen on landscape, the background will still be visible.
The image that I have attached is screengrabbed from Playstore from the Xposed App/Module called 'Disable Fullscreen Keyboard'. It only mean that this can be done if our phone is rooted. But, my request is if we can also do this even our phone is not rooted and no need to install Xposed app or modules.
I hope our mods can modify Google Keyboard, Swift Keyboard, Swype Keyboard, Xperia Keyboard(ported) disabling the fullscreen feature of the keyboards.
I hope I made it clear.
Up. I hope someone can fix this.
yeah this feature is so annoying,full screen in landscape mode were disabled when i was on kitkat. now its back again on gboard 2017 for nougat and beyond. at least on certain apps or games only
It would be interesting if it's even possible with root...this is so annoying. I switched from iOS and thought Android is a bit further but after more than a year on Huawei I have to say, that many things are far behind a jailbroken iOS.

It is available rooted by the looks as bauer said above.
It drives me mad too. If I'm watching Netflix or something and someone messages I have to guess and hope that what I've written is correct or I have to go back out, write message, go back in, find the movie and start again, quite annoying.
Had email back again saying I should be getting my BL unlock code soon so hopefully this app still works.

This is possible with xposed module called "Disable Fullscreen Keyboard". But Xposed requires Root. So far no way doing this without root access.

OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2: Huge Improvements!

My OnePlus 7T Global HD1903 was on stock OOS Stable for almost 3 years now.
I just decided to update to OOS12 Beta 2 (Indian) yesterday and overall, I like it!
Official update guide here: OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro
Improvements:
1. Stock launcher: now has Google Feeds built-in.
2. Stock launcher: can now lock home screen icon arrangements. This is especially a big deal for me because I always mis-swipe icons and accidentally rearrange them.
3. Game mode: swipe notification banner is now easier to use. You can easily adjust brightness now, which is what I always use when gaming.
4. WiFi and Bluetooth connects faster.
5. Mobile data: signal is more stable. This surprised me a lot because this is an Indian ROM flashed on a Global device. I live in the Philippines, so it may vary from country to country.
6. Fast switching between mobile data and wifi, unlike on OOS11 where there's around 3 seconds of delay.
7. More stable fingerprint scanning (FOD) so it feels faster too, unlike on OOS11 when there are instances that I have to try 3x before my fingerprint gets recognized.
8. Larger PIN input when restarting device and FOD is disabled.
9. Lowest brightness is now even lower. Very good when you use your phone in pitch black environments.
What's missing, and what can be improved:
1. AOD: still the same old crappy Sometimes On Display. My Oppo Reno has a proper AOD, which I thought would be implemented in this update.
2. Recents: app settings cannot be launched directly anymore.
3. Notification banners: button texts are buggy/cut (like Reply or Like). Although this is an Android 12 issue, OnePlus could have fixed it.
4. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be set individually. (I bought icon packs for this feature)
5. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be renamed anymore. (You can remove app names completely)
6. Dolby Atmos is now disabled when using built-in speakers. Ironically, I only enable them when using the built-in speakers to make sound louder.
7. VoLTE and VoWiFI
Bugs and Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers):
1. Very long boot time. Logo always stuck for 40 seconds before boot animation shows up.
2. Boot animation stutters (low FPS).
3. On standard home screen mode (drawer disabled), SIM Toolkit apps always show up on the home screen after every reboot, even if you put them in a folder.
4. Some apps think that the device/sim is Indian, so there are notifications telling you to enable Roaming. Just disable these notifications once, then they'll stop showing up.
5. Lock screen colors are still oversaturated when FOD is enabled (same with OOS10 and OOS11). This is why I just use a black wallpaper for lockscreen.
6. Stock launcher icon names can now only be removed completely (no app names on drawer too), unlike before where it only doesn't show on the home screen.
I finaly update myself... But I am little disappinted.
first of all, AOD on OOS 11 (oob5) worked perfectly... it doesn't work here... it just is.
I have a big lag when I want to use gestures, especially when I want to leave the gallery in the home screen... everything seems to be slower.
Third, the phone and phonebook app is now much worse... it's much slower to find a name in the phone book.
Fourth, the theme substratum does not work, pureblack for example, so the notification shade is not black as I would like it to be... and all the colors seem washed out to me.
Five, no advinced power menu any more... And no optio for clear cache in recovery
I use Nova and I like it....
High performance mod... is for me must be on

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Although mine is quite the opposite (everything is more responsive / no lag).
My device isn't rooted though, and I upgraded from stable rom. So ymmv.

When I turn off substratum... its now faster and feel like before... But I prefere black in dark mode and not gray...
Also I will disable... Theme Store and Work Life Balance (I realy do not need) and Scout... What is that? Do you use it? Sports (how to acces that app) ?
And I am realy frustrated with new phonebook/call app
EDIT: I still have this bug... with gallery app and only Gallery app for now...
When I swap from botom to top... to go to home screen... bacj is just fine... but going straith to home not working in gallery app
Do you know what is Onet app?
Is it India specific? Like Idwntificarion of Unknow Number (doea it work in eu) ?
Also is there any easy way like iit was on 11 to check/change battery optimisation for specific app... or I need to go from settings and to look for app in the hole list?

I also use swipe navigation but don't have that issue on the Gallery app. I can smoothly transition from Gallery to Home Screen. I uploaded a video: CLICK HERE
Regarding apps you don't need, there is an option to disable them in the app settings.
On the end... I find that my bigrst problem is notificstion lock screen. When I get notificstion I have it for first time, but if I unlock and relock without open notificstin at all... it disappears from lock screen.
Does anyone know how to fix that behavior... Notification not show on LockScreen?
And AOD, not working... All time.... on OB5 ti was working all time if you whant that. Here it just disappear if you do not touch or move phone. I disklike that behavior.
Also I find out that Tasker, or any other app on 12 can not disable network status (2G/3G/4G) even with root.

In the end, this is a HUGE step backwards for me... and many OnePlus fans who wanted something more and stuck to the Never Settle slogan.
Oppo Coloros is not usable with many applications and causes problems with an even larger number. Maybe at first glance it looks like it's moving smoothly and quickly, but it's just an illusion.
Tasker is just one of those applications and is considered one of the most powerful Android tools, but it is completely unusable even with Root on this system. Even the most ordinary things, which are useful to me, as it is. turning on screen rotation and screen time out for certen apps do not work. Let's not talk about some more complex actions such as norification and starting AOD when there is an unread notification.
AOD itself is very unreliable, I installed 3 different "updates" of the AOD application itself to get it to work at all.
The notification on the lockscreen is just a "masterpiece" it only works once when you receive the notification, and whether you read it or not, it will never appear on the lockscreen again, no matter how many times you unlock or lock your screen.
As a root user of a phone that supports 90Hz, I used to be able to always and in all circumstances use that option, now the screen is almost always at 60Hz no matter what you set and there is no longer a possibility to "force" the phone to always use 90Hz even with an ADB command... All this did not increase the battery life in the least... it even decreased it because the screen is no longer black (which I could achieve on OOS 11 using Subststratum pure black tmeme) but mostly gray.
I still don't have time to dedicate a whole day to wiping the data and going back to the good old OOS... but if you don't want to just have the number 12 in the phone info... and if you use the phone for anything more than texting and answering on calls, it's better to redistribute with old security patches than to get frustrated with Color OS.
Even the most common application, phone book and phone dealer, is a step backwards for me, although I could get used to it if at least some of the basic things that I am used to as a user would work.
Bluetooth, WiFi... Mobile Data... Signal strength, I really have no complaints, it all works great. Preinstalled applications work well and it's a matter of habit and personal taste whether you like the design or not.
But if you use Tasker, Huawei watch, or are a root user who is a bit more demanding... know that I Color OS is very restrictive and that 99% of things will not work as they did on OOS... Especially if you come with OOS Beta 4 or 5 which had AOD working and if you are used to it, I would not recommend you to waste your time and switch to Color OS.
The number 12 is not worth your time, annoyance and searching for a solution for what was working beautifully and smoothly, just because it is a number higher than 11.
On the end choices is yours... Just like it was mine when I done misktake and update.

Have you tried any custom ROMs such as Pixel Experience? What are your thoughts on them if you have. I grew tired of waiting for OnePlus to release a stable 12 and installed Pixel Experience. I am mostly satisfied with it, although battery drain is more pronounced.

Even the most common application, phone book and phone dealer, is a step backwards for me, although I could get used to it if at least some of the basic things that I am used to as a user would work.
Bluetooth, WiFi... Mobile Data... Signal strength, I really have no complaints, it all works great. Preinstalled applications work well and it's a matter of habit and personal taste whether you like the design or not.
But if you use Tasker, Huawei watch, or are a root user who is a bit more demanding... know that I Color OS is very restrictive and that 99% of things will not work as they did on OOS... Especially if you come with OOS Beta 4 or 5 which had AOD working and if you are used to it, I would not recommend you to waste your time and switch to Color OS.
The number 12 is not worth your time, annoyance and searching for a solution for what was working beautifully and smoothly, just because it is a number higher than 11.
On the end choices is yours... Just like it was mine when I done misktake and update.

Your #1 mistake was to dirty flash a beta software into an older android version.
Even on custom roms, that's a very bad idea.

Actualy, that doesn't change anything... It's Color OS... and all working just it work on cleen install. So I didn't make any mistake there, except the fact that Color OS is not for me or anyone who like freedom of OOS... When I decide to be restricted like I am on ColotOS, I will buy iphone.
So, does your clean installation act differently... lock screen notificstion, AOD, can Tasker change you system settings (turn on and off AOD if you have any new notification, for example), can you force 90Hz in all apps?
Because thats are problems... I don't have any fingerprint or any other system lroblem except it's inconsistent and undefined... it's doesn't have all android 12 theming and look but it's not OOS costumization.
Anyone know of a fix for no signal? It asks for Oroaming funds, but I have an unlocked One Plus 7 Pro converted to the Global Beta 2.
My sim card is Tmobile.
