Using custom rom "one button navigation" on moto g5 plus - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

I wanted to go to Android 9 so installed Carbon 7.0 on my Motorola G5 Plus. I like it a lot but in stock Motorola (through the Moto App) I was able to use my fingerprint reader to do "one button navigation". I am not able to find how I can set this up under the custom rom. Does anyone have any experience or help in doing this? I turned on the gestures in the android settings but that just results on a pill on the bottom of my screen and would like to go back to using my fingerprint reader. Thanks for your help and if I am posting this incorrectly please let me know!

This forum is for Moto g5(Cedric) not for Moto g5+(potter) you can post your questions there. If you want finger print guester then you can get in the pixel experience ROM(potter), you just need to set how it works such as (right to left)recent and other functions to get it work.

Active Display

Hey guys,
I have the Moto G 4G/LTE (XT1039)
Recently, I have been unsuccessfully attempting and working around for ways to make "Active Display" to work on our phones... No such luck!!
So, I decided to try and experiment with possible replacement apps that can do the same or similar job...
And the best replacement app I have found so far to "Active Display" is:
• AC Display
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
This app ? Is definitely my favorite.
Works well and is fully compatible with the Moto G sensors and even with the lock screen using the music player as well.
I really liked the look of the Deprecated version:
• AC Display (Deprecated)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.activedisplay&hl=en
? But the sensors don't work!
I also tried:
• Dynamic notifications
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en_GB
But I found this app being faulty on my phone, and the sensors definitely unresponsive or other times working the wrong way around...
So, if you guys have any other suggestions?
? Please share your thoughts and suggestions!

??? ? please can you elaborate?
"Amoled display" for what?
I'm really trying to understand your point, but I fail to understand your logic.
Saying that, I understand that you are only repeating the same comment from other forums participants.
? If you download "AC Display (Deprecated)" you will find that is the exact carbon copy of "Active Display" from Motorola. Unfortunately the sensors on that app don't work. The App was "Deprecated".
The reason for that, was that the developer was worried that Motorola would put a stop on his app development.
(Check is comments on Google+)
So he changed the layout of the app to stop the obvious resemblance to the Motorola app and he launched the current "AC Display" that does a similar job to the original with working sensors as well, but with a different esthetic look.
The app is still in development.
My point here is:
Not so long ago we didn't had "driving mode" and "home mode" on the Moto G.
Today Motorola finally give us that.
In the exact same way they can give us "Active Display" taylored for our phones.
In reality, Motorola/Lenovo can easily give us some power saving version of Moto voice if they desire, since they have already give us the home and driving mode.
? Everything is possible, for as long there is a will, than there is a way...
But realistically they will leave the premium options for the more expensive Moto X.

i think than you..
according to me an obstacle for the touchless control and the active display of motorola is the presence of one micro processor dedicate to this functiones..but everything is possible..
motorola developers have tried to porting a version lite of the active display ... this is established from the presence of the process Active Display Lite..
The active display from the moto X doesn't work on the Moto G because the moto X has an Amoled display which can turn single pixels on and off.
AC display works well on my moto g XT1033, was searching for this kind of app since 2 months. Thanks alot. :laugh::good:

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.
Great app, and very useful!
Thanks. This works very well and hardly uses any battery (despite the warning).
Thanks, works perfectly. I found this on the play store first when looking for something that added this functionality. I ended up turning off the wave/hold to shut down screen because it locked the screen even though smart lock should have kept it unlocked.

You are welcome.
I have been pointed out that to programmatically lock the screen, one needs device administrator permission. But after locking the screen, smart lock doesn't work. So it is an Android limitation.

Yes, and your app did correctly ask for admin permission and did lock the screen correctly. I assumed that it was an Android issue as opposed to an issue with your app.
I am now running LineageOS, which does not have Moto Display...So logically, your app will not work (yet . Would someone please post apk's for Moto Display and related files (if any)? Thanks!

I had made a similar request, but someone told me that to make Moto Display work on custom ROMs, you would need to make a separate kernel.
Is it possible to wake up the screen without Moto display being active ? I don't like the "stock" moto display feature(moving the phone to activate).

You can disable Moto Display. But the phone won't be activated. I will add a feature to activate the lock screen of the phone in this app.
Thanks for the quick response !
Looking forward to this feature !
Nice application.

I thought i was smart enough, i got the Moto Action latest apk, the latest update (March 2017) is dedicated for Moto G5 and includes the One Nav Button. Well problem is you cant update the moto action via google play because it says it is running the latest version. So i took the apk from another source. Turned out the installation failed.
Wish there was a way to bypass this.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Play/Moto-z-play-fingerprint-gestures/m-p/3615682#M2908 " There are no plans of adding this feature in the next update. If our customers are not happy with what the phone's native feature, there is Play store where you can download third party apps which suit your style and customization."
Getting rid of the nav-bar is one of the main reasons I'm planning to root my Moto Z Play. Too bad the one button-feature doesn't work there. I'd rather keep the phone locked (warranty) and on stock Android.
I use this.

sounds good, but the navbar is still visible so thats only 50% of the "one button navigation" thing
any ideas for hiding the navbar without root?

This app is an ugly workaround and broke the first thing I tested it with: When its running, long presses aren't working any more in Nova Launcher.
I really hope some dev will be able to migrate the Moto Action-app that includes the One Button-feature to Moto Z without the need of root.

I can work on that latest apk and make it work on Moto devices(Especially on Z Play).
Please provide me that apk by uploading in drive or in any other cloud storage.
Hi here is the link
https://m.downloadatoz.com/moto-actions/com.motorola.actions/moto-actions,v2.00.14.html
Yes you have to install that apk first in order to get the Moto Action within that app.

I think We have to uninstall the moto actions app of our device and then install this..
The problem with this apk is it will not pass installing stage. Not parsing error.

If you are on Marshmallow with Xposed but if you're in Nougat can't do nothing or install Lineage OS and activate the Expanded Desktop feature.

I use this app. I assigned navigation keys to different swipe edge locations. You can customize settings such as edge width or swipe distance under edge preference. Use immersive mode to get rid of the navbar.
This app does not work perfectly on a non-rooted device as keyboard doesn't function well in immersive mode, but it has been working fine since I rooted my phone. I noticed that key popups that I type appear on weird locations though, so I just disabled that option.

[No root] Finally, an app to enable native Lift To Wake (lockscreen)

OnePlus Lift To Wake
TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.
This is brilliant!! Appears to be working great... Will provide an update on power efficiency in a while
How do I install
Works great on OP7 pro ?.

I am afraid no. That's determined by the system sensor.

This works great. Any way to get it to run automatically after a reboot? I have to enable after every reboot.

I've made efforts to enable this service after reboot. It wasn't successful, however. Oxygen OS has a strict whitelist of apps that may start automatically after a reboot. One way to work around this is to use Accessibility Service, but that could cause more battery drain. Lol, I think it's better to leave things this way.
Very useful app, this was my most demanding functionality after bought OP7T
Thank You For this
Can u add to the store please?
Nice app. Thnks
It works great for op7t, but doesn't work for Op7.
On op7, the screen lights up, but faceunlock is not available.
You need to click on faceicon first to work (screens in atach).
But, if you unlock op7 via the power button (second screen in atach) - faceunlcok works great!
Is there any solutions for op7?
Works as it should! But screen wakes a lot while inside the pocket.
Very useful mod, thx for that
Only issue that it doesn't work anymore after some hours,i need to start the app again to get it working again for a few hours. I already have disabled battery optimisation. Any ideas to fix this?
Regards ysco..
Hello, how can i make it work on Oneplus 8?
This app is great, something I've been looking for a while. But, it doesn't work consistently. It stops after a few hours after I enable it. Then I have to open the app and then it will 'realize' the switch is still on and start working again. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks bud!! It works like a charm!!
Looks really helpful.
Works good also.
Thanks.

Samsung One hand operation + Gesture Navigation?

I hate stock Android navigation Gestures and would prefer Samsung OHO+. Is there any chance i can make it work on my 7t?
I don't mind rooting but i still have no clue what to do after that. Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks

There are some apps on store that does this, try miui gestures or search for something else. Don't know if they need root (maybe for back action)
