[Q] What's the best setup for S-Pen on CM/AOSP ROM?

I'm running PAC-Man ROM and am thankful for the settings that allow me to use gestures (when the S Pen's button is held) but it's a huge pain to have to hold the button for these gestures. The button on the pen is too low on the pen for my liking when I'm trying to use it as a pointing device/extension of my hand.
A couple of ideas I have had:
-the input settings that I described earlier
-the Sidebar application. I would love it if I could access shortcuts through Sidebar that emulate the back and menu keys but unfortunately the only button that can be emulated is the home key!
-CM S Pen Add-on used in conjunction with Note Buddy. I like the idea here, but I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically activate the AOSP on-screen buttons when I detach the S-Pen, but Note Buddy doesn't seem to support any extensions.
Are there any other solutions you guys have come up with that allow me to use my Note in a practical way with ONLY the S-Pen? That means I don't want to have to take any fingers off of the pen or have to lift my other hand to press the menu and back buttons.

I use GMD SPen control & cant say enugh good things about it! It can do everything you are looking for (I think) I have it open lecture notes when I detach the pen, & simulate the home button when I attach it! But you can set up any user gestures you want!

Just bought the pro version...
Very nice application...
And it's running well on carbon 1.8..
Thank you....g

I'm not really willing to shell out $6 just yet... I'll have to do some more research!
I also found another method: use the ribbons feature built into PAC-Man ROM (not sure if it's an AOKP feature) in order to swipe out a tray from the right side of the screen that has the nav buttons in it. Still wish I could get the real navbar to display by default though!

Edit: Just remembered there's also PA Pie.

To add a navbar to ANY rom that doesnt have one..
open your buildprop (in /system)
scroll down to the bottom, and after the last line, add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save the changes, reboot the phone, and BOOM, you have a navbar..works on AOSP and TW roms..

Getting a navbar to display is not the issue. What's difficult is trying to get the navbar to display only when the pen is detached! :/

I have a tasker task to launch with the help of secure settings to hide the navigation bar when spen is attached and to show it when I de-attach the spen. Just take advantage of the expandable desktop function (and select it to only hide the nav bar when pen is inserted).
Works like a charm.

Are you referring to the "Expand desktop" option under Custom ROM Actions? That option has a red circle next to it for me, meaning that it is not supported by my ROM. :'(

Which rom are you on? Is it featured in your rom?
If so, you need to turn on expanded desktop and reboot. You might also need to make secure settings a device administrator.
For me, on SlimBean, it's a red circle at first too, but it turns green when following my steps above.
Try it out and report your progress.

[REQUEST][Xposed] Volume keys as back,home keys

Guys is there a xposed module or will there be one to
use volume down key as back and long press to kill
volume up key as home and long press to recents..
and expanded desktop option to disable the nav bar
this will save the space nedded for nav bars...
also volume isnt a function which we use very often...we can as well have a quick launcg tile for it

GravityBox can do the second thing you want.

Yes, I use Gravity box to hide the navbar and use its Pie for my buttons.

There's an module that does just that its called "Xposed Additions"
Doesn't even need reboots and you can even assign a different behavior to ur keys acording to screen on / off status
For example
Use volume keys to change volume when screen off

also gravitybox is inclusive of that module

[REQ] looking for screen turn on app.

How to toggle flashlight torch with physical button when screen is off?

Hi,
Is there an xposed module, app (rooted or not) or any other trick to give me the option to turn on flashlight torch when I press and hold power button even when the screen is off,
PS , running Cm13
Many thanks!

There is a xposed module named "xposed torch" that worked on my z1c
But on the 1+3 it seems to be broken, it just softreboot itself everytime i try to switch on my flashlight with it.. so i sticked with the "V" gesture

Actually I want this on my O+X , does not seem to work, I have tried the following,
Gravitybox MM
Sense for xposed
Xposed torch
Play store apps (out of frustration)
Others
I don't know if such thing is possible with Tasker, so maybe some1 will help with that
Also, there was a Moto X feature called Chop Twice for flashlight , is there a way to make that possible on AOSP Roms?
Many thanks!

The ResurrectionRemix ROM supports that I think...

xposed additions is the app you are looking for. I have OP3 myself and use this module for media skipping etc None of the other modules seem to work

Be careful if your are on OOS when you try to use Xposed additions. There are some bugs,
1. Xposed additions will make feedback vibration of touch buttons unavailable;
2. Double click power button to open camera quickly is not available anymore;
3. Maybe there is little delay when you use 'volume-'+'power button' to make a screenshot.

true, but i use it for media controls and direct dial on triple click of power button for someone special as well.. so i prefer all these over the camera shortcut provided by OP.

im using custom slider xposed module to turn on and off flash light

Xposed Torch by Wanam does work at the beginning but after being in standby a while it doesn't launch the torch. from my perspective there isn't a sufficient solution that does fully work and does not break anything else.

Do you use xposed additions for Screen Off actions? I'm curious how reliable it is while the screen is off.....does it sometimes not trigger if you have had your screen off a while?
Have you tried Xposed Physical Button Music Control module? Serves almost identical purpose.....but I occasionally run into the issue I described. I'll Re-Map a Volume Up command (while screen off) to do some action.....sometimes it won't trigger if the screen has been off a while. Anyways, I'll be doing some extensive testing between these two (almost identical) modules and report back which I find more reliable/stable. I've used Xposed Physical Button Music Control for a LONG time and noticed the screen off actions are a bit flakey

xposed additions works for me perfectly all the time,be it screen off or screen on..
PBMC didnt work for me at all.. i tried it first for mapping music controls when screen is off but nothing went right...
i tried several modules but in the end xposed additions was the best of them all...
hit thanks if I've helped you

Here is my comparison so far for both Xposed Modules (Physical Button Music Control vs Xposed Additions)
Both apps have reliability issues with Screen Off triggers. To demonstrate, keep your screen off and don't touch your phone for quite a while (30+ minutes at a minimum). Now try to do a Screen Off trigger. It likely won't work. Now turn your screen on and off again. Try a Screen Off trigger immediately. It will work. So obviously, something is disabling/sleeping these apps after the phone goes idle for a while thus preventing these Screen Off triggers from working. I have no idea how to solve this. I've already added both apps to the Whitelist for Doze battery optimization. It is rather frustrating having this issue.
Both apps are NOT able to use the Home Button as a trigger while the screen is off
Xposed Additions CANNOT use the Home Key as a trigger....period. PBMC can.
Seems PBMC does not function on OOS....but it does work on CM based ROMs.
Both apps can play nicely together. So if you like specific things from both apps, you can use both.
Conclusion....they both perform pretty equally. I'll continue to investigate the reliability issues. There has GOT to be something we can do about this. I might write the xposed additions developer since he seems to be a OP3 user.

I use Gravitybox MM on OOS 3.2.7 and don't have any problems.

[APP] Button Mapper: Remap Bixby single, double and long press for FREE

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
http://oskwvu0.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project/258033

Version 0.66 is now released. It will roll out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now, get it from XDA Labs
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
This version has tons of small fixups: the AOD crash is fixed, activities open right away after pressing home, everything is faster, and there are more options. Also quite a few UI improvements.
Changes:
Pocket detection (pro)
Toggle auto brightness
Toggle Wifi hotspot (Android 7 and lower)
Toggle mobile data (root)
Clear notifications
Compatibility with Android P
Option to use speaker with Pressy, MiKey, etc
Global bypass option
More long press duration options
Receive incoming phone calls with home button (Samsung)
Add Spanish
Update translations
UI improvements
Optional lock method that allows fingerprint unlocking
Fix AOD crash with screenshot action (Samsung)

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

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.
