Hi guys,
Ok, so I'm coming from an old Nexus 4 on which I was used to do everything with one hand (right).
I was used to Pie Control, and completely remove my software navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop)
Now, I'd like to do quite the same thing with my OP3, but I'm struggling a bit.
As you know, with OOS, we can use either:
Capacitive Buttons
On-screen navigation bar
When I use Pie Controls (either LMT or GravityBox) and set the navigation to capacitive buttons, it's mostly OK, but there's always the unintentional touch, especially when holding the device in landscape mode.
When I set the navigation to on-screen buttons (but don't use them), "Back" and "Home" simple tap on Pie Control doesn't work at all (Longpress's and Recent simple tap work fine, though).
I tried fiddling with build.prop but didn't manage to disable both altogether.
Code:
# enable navigation bar
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
#[email protected] disable navigation bar
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
#else
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
#endif
Anyone knows how to disable both capacitive buttons AND standard software navigation bar ?
If it's possible to stay on OOS for the moment, that would be great
Thanks in advance.
Yes, something is strange in OOS in that respect.
I use GMD Gesture Control (like I do always on every device), but if I use the on-screen navbar instead of the capacitve buttons, "back" gesture doesn't work anymore. Home gesture works.
Perhaps someone could shed some light onto what the causes could be...
Anyone find a fix for this?
I discovered pie controls back with my g3 in 2014. Loved it, easiest way to swap between apps IMO. I really enjoy them and wanted to see if there was any other side launchers or "pie" style controls that people are using? Also for those who don't know if you double tap the recent app soft icon "square" on your phone you can quickly and easily swap between the 2 most recent apps.
I now also use pie controls. Though I use them as navigation controls because sometimes it's difficult for me to reach the navbar buttons at the bottom. I like that I can swipe from the edge and pull the notifications down instead of pressing the navbar button.
I recently started using Meteor Swipe. I put all my most used apps there instead of in pie controls because I find apps are easier to reach from the edge and feels more organised. I also included Tasker shortcuts that toggle Bluetooth, WiFi, and Autorotate so I don't have to reach for the quick settings up top (though I also have these set up in pie controls as long presses).
Oh! And Meteor Swipe also has floating widgets! I find this very useful with Unified Remote as i often use it to control my PC media. I don't like having a persistent Unified Remote notification controls.
Yeah I really like Nougat's double tap Recent Apps button to switch to last app.
I've used many pie apps from root to no root and this app won me over hands down the best

So I'm happily using the AOSP Extended rom however this rom doesn't have the fingerprint gestures.
I've searched the whole play store trying to find an app that can use the fingerprint scanner to get the gestures back, however I couldn't find any app that supports holding the fingerprint for showing recent apps.
Does anyone have any other idea to get the fingerprint gestures back on this custom rom?

Thanks, do you by a chance know another app that does support holding to show recents?
I tried many FP Sensor apps. Few provide a long press gesture but none of them are working properly - only single and double tab.

NOTE: On a rooted device, this is the fastest, most reliable and problem-free method for remapping Bixby (no limitations, no setup)
Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, Bixby button, and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware you attach to your phone.
You can map shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
The Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is supported as of version 0.62
Bixby remapping of single, double and long press is completely free. No ads. Pro version not required.
Does not require root. If your device is rooted, you will have many more options (essentially unlimited). Also with root, Bixby remapping does not involve any hacks, it is implemented at the input level (native).
This does require an adb command to remap Bixby on unrooted devices. It's a one-time setup. I do not use the method used by other apps because it leads to a poor user experience (i.e. swiping right causes actions to occur, get stuck in a loop)
This app is continually updated with new features and improvements.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
.
Big update update on the way soon.
You can remap all Bixby stuff for free with this app, and it has the most options of any remapping app.
I'm looking for volunteers to translate. Go to this link if interested

To click the shutter? You can do that with select/enter action, but it requires root.

yes, I was thinking if it was possible without root.

Not that I can think of
I've deleted the bixby services without know that the remap apps wouldn't work anymore
This app doesn't work either.

It's the only way to detect Bixby since Samsung bypassed the usual Linux input system..
thanks for this app. works great!
Hi
Thanks for this great app.
I use pro version.
Does it possible to remap back, home and recent soft keys on S9 ?

I don't think so. It's definitely not possible using the methods used by this app.
So...people don't like free stuff? Should I make you guys pay for double press and long press?
Nice job with this app man. Very easy to turn on flashlight and get to google assistant. I'll be unlocking the pro version in a little bit.
It also appears that, even though I am not rooted, the bixby button works to turn on my flashlight while I'm on the AOD so that is SUPER helpful.
UPDATE!!
Version 0.74 has lots of new goodies. It's rolling out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now you can download from XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
-Menu action is now available without root
-Pause and resume remapping from notification, quick settings or public intents that can be used with Tasker or other automation apps
-If you use the notification, you can now change the priority
-Option to turn on screen with screen off actions, so if you launch an app with the screen off, the screen will automatically turn on (requires Pro version)
-Zello PTT toggle and hold actions (requires Pro version). This allows you to either set a button to toggle send, or hold the volume up or down button to talk
-Copy and paste actions
-Option to use VOICE_ASSIST for assistant
-Restore autobrightness when using brightness actions
-Fix shortcut bug
-Many other bugfixes and improvements
-Update translations
Here are the intents to pause and resume remapping. The first is a toggle, the other two explicitly pause or resume remapping. Use whichever best fit your needs.

flar2.homebutton.PAUSE_REMAPPING
flar2.homebutton.RESUME_REMAPPING

Screenshot sound toggle doesn't work for me on Galaxy S9+
Can we also have an option to disable bixby single tap when the device is locked or in always on display mode?

Screenshot sound toggle only works for my screenshot implementation. It can't be controlled on the native screenshot (I assume you're rooted)

Sorry didn't get your point. How can choose your screenshot implementation? There is only one screenshot action available in the list.

If rooted, it uses the built-in screenshot. If not rooted, it uses my own custom screenshot because I can't access the built in one. The built-in is preferable to the custom screenshot, but there is no control over the sound in the built in screenshot.
Hello everyone!
I'm using LOS 15.1 as my first custom ROM, with GMD gesture control (no nav bar in screen).
There is no option to split screen with GMD so I think to add it to power menu.
Any ideas to do that?
I'm new in custom and rooted phone, I've heard about substratum them engin, doese it allows that kind of customisation?
Edit
I add this option with button maper, and long press low volume. I had a bad experience with that app but it seems to work great in custom ROM.
Edit (again)
I use fluid n.g. in addition to add split screen and assistant, everything work fine with both simultaneously?
