anyone have difficulty with the swipe up to unlock or answer calls or with the swipe to side to dismiss a notification?
i have to be excessively unnatural about my swipes for these things to work but not for anything else.
swipe up in nova for app drawer works very well/easy. swiping through pics is no problem. scrolling text or web is fine. it's just the couple specific afore mentioned actions that don't work well at all.
any ideas? thanks!
Yes. Same thing with mine. Driving me nuts!
it'd be great if you could adjust the sensitivity of those particular features.

Are you on the stock kernel? Switched back to Pixel launcher? Have you tried turning off window animation or changing scale under Dev ops? I'm using EX and don't have any issues atm, plus using swipe-to-sleep. :good:

yes, stock kernel.
no, but nova launcher is working great.
have scale set to .5, but its not the speed of transition, its the swipe sensitivity.
YES. I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE and it's driving me nuts!
Swiping up/down while browsing or going over social media feeds is just PAINFUL. I get tons of stutters (not performance stutters, touch registration stutters) and unnatural swipe feel.
Sometimes my scrolling would randomly register as a swipe right/left, sometimes it wouldn't register at all for a few tries and sometimes it would just feel very sluggish.
I'm running all stock 8.1 stable, phone naked, no screen protector. It's a Panda Pixel 2 XL with November 28th build date.
Did anyone report this to Google? Starting to look like a widespread issue here..
Y'all might want to have a look here! If your rooted, this may help. Another user just posted this minutes ago :good:

I had trouble with a swipe to unlock, as in it took me two or three tries to bring up the pin pad. I just tried the suggestion in the post that Badger50 linked and it worked beautifully. I just pulled up the pin pad about 15 times in a row with absolutely no issues. You should definitely give it a shot.

Haha! You're joking right? That forum is laughable and uses bots to spew useless links and canned responses to n00bs. It is (at best) a non-technical User forum full of whinging and moaning. No resolution will EVER come from that forum. Period.
You're waaay better off over here where some intelligent conversation and testing is going on. That, and go search for and locate this (very valid) existing issue on the Google Issue Tracker HERE and star it. The more people starring the issue on this issue tracker, the more urgently it will be addressed. Best of luck.

Just tried LMT Launcher which works really well alongside the ones sense 5 launcher, it adds a lot of functionality which just works so well once your used to it and you set apps that you'll like.
Here is the link to the said app and i'm in no way affiliated with the development i just wanted to share something i'd found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
for me to get it to work properly here the settings i activated, everything else is left at stock and i'm running the newest version.
Autostart - enabled
Gesture input - No known device yet
Activation area thickness - 40
ISA 11 - checked
then all your left with is what you want to set to your short cuts.
I haven't bothered with gestures but there are so many options it's insane.
Well done to the dev who made it, working well here
I love LMT. I used it on my Hercules, and soon as I rooted, I put it on my one. I love being able to launch everything and not having to clutter up my home screen. I never ventured into anything but the pie launcher, so I can't offer any help besides there.
Is there a way to have lmt launch the app gallery? Can't seem to find that option

You have to launch it as an activity. So go to activity, gallery, then choose the main launcher one. It's the second I believe.
I'm quite new to it m8, you'd be better off asking in the thread I've mentioned.

I have been using it for a while now and have had zero hiccups at all everything works as it should.
So weird, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. I'm very familiar with the app, having used it on the last couple of phones through multiple roms. I've tried 2 different Sense roms and 2 different AOSP based, with no luck. Everything starts and stops like it should, it just won't activate when I swipe across the area. Ah well, nature of the beast, I guess. I'll keep messing with it...
YouTube app launch
I recently got my HTC One and unlocked bootloader/rooted.
Installed LMT launcher so I could get the Pie Controls - they look awesome and keep my homescreen clean.
So far so good, I've set all 10 pie segments to launch apps.
All of them work, except for YouTube.
Tried assigning it to various different pie segments but never works.
All other apps launch successfully so not sure why YouTube won't.
I've not got a high enough post count yet to post on the main LMT thread posted by the OP so hoping one of you guys might know why this is happening... Or if anyone else has YouTube launching successfully via LMT Pie Controls.
Cheers

You need to launch it as an activity instead of the app. It's the second option on the YouTube activity list.

Hi guys.
I have LMT included in my ROM for HTC One. I made a video on how to configure it. hope this helps you
The video is recorded on a Nexus 10, but the idea is the same.
I loved using PIE/LMT on my Nexus 4. I wish we didn't have the hard nav bar on our One. That extra space looked awesome on the N4.

can gestures use on one？
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
LMT is great on the One, especially with that huge HTC logo
The only downside is that you still need to be able to assign one of the buttons to menu to get rid of the three dot bar in apps like facebook. If you don't do that then the three dot menu bar gets in the way of LMT and you can't use from the bottom in those apps
As a little workaround on 4.2.2 to keep a long press on home for Google Now, I am using Paul's Xposed mod designed for 4.1.2 and assigning a long press of the back button to menu. Long press for menu doesn't work on 4.2.2 roms, but it still gets rid of the annoying three dot menu bar.
Another quick tip:
To get one of the pie segments to turn off the screen, use keycode 26 in Advanced Commands: Key
That saves a lot of finger acrobatics to get up to the top of the phone. Along with the volume buttons to wake this is great for anyone with small fingers

Just an FYI for anyone with a HTC One (M7) that wants to use LMT to call up the APM (Simulate long press power button) this is the script code to use:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
sleep 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 0

The main LMT thread has mostly Nexus and Galaxy events so it took me a little time to find this out for the One.
Hopefully this post will help anyone searching for LMT Power Menu script on the One.

Did you get anywhere getting LMT to work on your HTC one. I have tried every setting imaginable and it will not work.

Any help much appreciated.
Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..

Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.
Hello,
Just a request, because I'm sure Google will disable it sooner or later anyway. Is there any developer out there or anyone for that matter that would know a way to enable access to the SRGB screen setting or have an ADB command to enter that would disable it? Please let me know if it's possible and as always thank you in advance

The only option for color changing is this:
I'm pretty sure sRGB is a secure setting, so it can't be changed via adb or any non-root method.

On the Pixel 2 XL? Sure isn't the case on my stock Pixel XL (I stopped rooting once I got the Nexus 6P). The mode to toggle sRGB is right there in the developer settings under "Running Services" on the XL but completely missing in the 2 XL.
Considering how much people are whining about it, they'll obviously release some sort of update to allow people to disable it.

It's not that something is really "wrong" with the display. It's that Google for whatever unknown reason decided to tune a high end POLED display to sRGB mode which tends to wash out colors.
Coming from a Note 8, the display is noticeably less sharp. Colors are off from a more saturated Samsung panel. Yellows look dark and angled viewing has blue tints.
It's not bad, it's just different, and a lot of people are noticing it. Many from Android media outlets. Apparently Google has acknowledged the display issues and is going to modify it.

Yeah you have to switch to all activities from the top pulldown
On 2nd thought, mine crashed on my N6p on Oreo so it may not be compatible. Try installing Nova Launcher. It comes with activity launcher. I believe you just press and hold somewhere on screen and choose activities.

Tap activity at the top and scroll to settings. Open it up and start searching. You can launch the activity by hitting the play button. Some of them may crash but some lead to hidden menus that are not otherwise accessible through normal settings. Like Bandmode (be carefull) or phone info.

By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though

Sorry, I didn't get it. Can you please elaborate.

That's awesome. I bought Tasker like a year ago. Everytime I download it I open it, get frustrated, then uninstall it, lol.
I think I love niagra though. It's so minimal on that big screen i think it would be better to just create a one page widget than run two launchers. That side animation was on one preset years ago. I sent my phone to safe mode play with stuff using adb today still have no idea what I did that prompted it.
@jemfalor Sorry I am a noob to the tasker. Where do I select hinge angel in the any sense?
under type, press magnifying glass
@jemfalor thanks for the help mate but it is not working for me. I will pass into it until someone post a detailed video as I have done everything right which Is mentioned in the guide but still no luck.
it is working. just learn to figure things out. change interval type to sample,
Works, but it's glitchy. Sometimes the stock home screen returns until I press the home key. When the device is unfolded and the main screen is visible, pressing the home button causes Nova Launcher to reload, which is pretty annoying. Worst of all, after configuring this, the keyboard keeps reverting back to the Samsung keyboard instead of Gboard, and sometimes the keyboard refuses to pop up at all. Time to undo this damage.

After some swearing I managed to get it working using the guide HERE
Got Niagra on the front and Nova on the large screen!

does "tasker" work faster than the "Bixby Routines" method? im using Microsoft launcher (small) Nova 7 (larger)

Pretty instantaneous I find, and if the wrong launcher shows, (although this is rare) a swipe up reverts the screen to the correct one.
The Bixby Routines version works well for me.
Now.... If there was only a way to have two instances of Nova Launcher running on the device at the same time, I could have version one layout on the cover screen and version two layout on the inner screen.
Anyone any ideas?

Maybe you can help sorry for bothering you. Everything seems to be setup except when folded or unfolded I have to hit the home button manually for the launcher to change. Do you happen to know how I can fix this?.
