Anyway to get Samsung gestures on a Nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Probably a stupid question, figured i'd ask. I would imagine some of the gestures are hardware based and not actually software based. I use to own a S3, which other then the gestures I do not miss much. Is there apps, or development software I could download to duplicate the s3/note 2 gestures? Text to ear would call that person, palm swipe would screenshot, swipe right/left on a contact name to call or text, ETC. Didn't know how much I would miss those gestures until I swapped phones. Any info would be appreciated.
If this isn't out already, I'd even start a donation thread if anyone would be interested in creating this. If this would be a popular idea, send some replies.
Thanks.

those are the only 3 things i miss about my s3 also.
i'm loving this device with the exception of the fulltime fear of breaking it, LOL
if these functions can be ported, i'd gladly donate also.
i have a feeling its embedded in the touchwiz framework though.
i imagine the palm to swipe screenshot feature might be able to be replicated in a separate app.
but i'm guessing the swipe contact name to call/text is touchwiz only.

You can't swipe to call or text in stock contacts app as the app is made out of scrollable tabs.
These features were once submitted to cyanogen mod, but rejected because it caused more troubles than actual solutions. They're (we're) really careful when it comes to bloatware.

[Request] MIUI w/ stock icons

As the subject reads, I would love miui with stock icons. I know some of you may not agree, but people say that my phone looks a lot like an iphone at work when I show it off running miui. That's not a bad thing, I personally don't like it though. Anyway, if someone could come out with a "stock" theme (or whatever your want to call it) then that would be amazing.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
You could just use LauncherPro or a similar dock. The icons will still have the colored box around them, but they will be much smaller. Obviously the four big icons at the bottom will be gone as well.
That's the thing though, I like miui's launcher, but I don't the icons. I don't like their blocky-ness, if that makes much sense.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I agree. The icons blockiness and the fact the app icons can't go into a "drawer" are the only reasons I went back to Virtuous.
+1000000000
No app drawer
No android stock Icons
Despite the fact that this MIUI Rom is awesome, those 2 things made me going back to my old android stock ROM.
And what is the interest to put an alternative launcher since if you put a launcher (LauncherPro, Zeam,..) You lose the MIUI advantages...
They should considerate that app drawer (and putting app in that drawer) is (in a ergonomic point of view) is the best thing ... Since Day 1 there's a "menu" in every phone, and seeing all my apps on the homescreen is a little bit ... disappointing me !

There's a theme in the online theme section called Android2.3 that will give you the stock icons

Check miui.us for themes. I can't remember which one it is but the icons are called Normal Android.

[Request] Lock Screen Notifications

Hey!
I photoshoped a bit and wanted to ask if there's anyone who's interested or who has the skills to make it real (and if possible, mod it into CM9!).

I have searched something like it for quite a while, but it's always not quite what I want, and sadly, I have no programming skills at all... all I can do is hope that there are enough others who support this idea.
thanks for reading.
I would love these
I would love this as well.
Something similar is currently being worked on. More info here: http://opendesign.bbqdroid.org/features/?cat=1&feature=3
Its been at 40% for a while. Hopefully there'll be some updates soon
Try this. Very similar

Maybe post a request here

Its JKay's Deluxe Framework thread which gives you lock screen settings, perhaps with enough requests they will develop what you're looking for.
Of course we would all like this!!!
I really don't understand how android is the best platform when android plain ICS doesn't offer on lockscreen notifications!!!!?!?
How on earth?! Even my nokia can do this!!!
I thought that they'll fix it in ICS but I was wrong! And they didn't even fix it in JB!!!
Very disappointed!
You can to have this with WidgetLocker on Play store

Well yes you can if you get widgetlocker and buy missed it and install the widget on screen!!!
However this is not acceptable!
Think about how many users (probably around 3/4) can't / don't know how to do it!
You should no have a diploma to be able to enable notifications on screen!
Damn this should be by default in the system!
Iphone, symbian (nokia) WP7 and all can do this! I really don't understand why Android doesn't (i know it can but it doesn't)! It needs OEM (HTC, samsung etc..) intervention to be able to deliver that! Which is simply basics!!!
Those Notifications are unnecessary imo. You already have the notification bar, why do you need it twice?
I would understand this if lockscreen would hide the notification bar. Everything else is easy made by widgetlocker.
Amazing idea bro

Also, don't like the idea of everyone able to be nosey by seeing all of your notifications, from the lock screen.
I think being able to slide down the notification bar, from the lock screen is a better idea, less mess.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And make it slide like the iphone not tapping. I know, i know, its gonna be too similar but you have to accept the fact that its accident proof and more clean looking(but this could change with JB animations).

Default Browser quick controls (LABS)

Hey everyone.
Did you all know that the Note 10.1 default Browser has a fullscreen mode with quick controls that are gesture based? (I wish the controls were bigger, though)
If you go to Browser settings and then to Labs section, there is a Quick Controls option you can enable. Is this new in Jelly Bean based roms?
Basically your Browser goes fullscreen with no bars and you can swipe from the left or right edge to bring up a semi-circular set of touch controls to do whatever you want.
Or, maybe, you all knew this and I am a noob.

Sorry to say it but " YOU ARE A NOOB" also its not the only or first browser with this feature. ?
Still thanks for sharing. I'm sure there are enough people who are not aware of this feature and they might be helped by your post.
It had this is 4.0 but the controls wee bigger and ALOT easier to use

I didn't know about this until I was told a few weeks ago, it's very good for quick and full screen browsing, but like the OP said; it would be better if the buttons could be increased in size.

Noob questions thread
I think this should be re-named NOOB Questions Thread, but being new to Samsung and stylus input (I've only used the wife's Nexus a bit before, and my office is still on blackberry) the simple Qs, and patience of users to answer them, have been helpful. I was definitely getting frustrated with my magazines, because that upward swish should have been opening Google search. I'll be killing magazines and see how that goes. To me, magazines belong int he google play store.
I would sure appreciate a google experience version of the 10.1. Samsung offering their pen add-ons as apps rather than a modified OS would be an improvement. But I'm quite happy so far, and the help on this and similar threads is most appreciated.
It is my first Android tablet...thanks for the responses, but none was my answer...
If you use ezPDF and make a sticky note on the PDF, the size of the icon of the sticky note is so small!! I wanted to see if we could make that bigger, but I don't think there's is a way...
Thanks on the freeze/stop advice, but it looks like root is required to remove entirely. I keep triggering the silly MyMag screen when I really want google search which is what I expect an upward swipe from home will give me.
^ you can also move your google search widget somewhere in the middle...but really, it's annoying when I hit the home button it switches to my magazine

excellent....
finally something that lock the apps
This is a very useful feature I saw a little bit of when I flashed the latest stock firmware and reset my phone this morning. It's a pity I don't use ASUS launcher, I hope other launchers implement this privacy feature!
ASUS is doing well on adding new features like being able to disable almost all system apps in latest update!
A moratorium on new features would be welcome however if it meant the 5.1 update would drop already!
heard the latest ZF2 variations like selfie, laser etc. have a new zenui launcher which is light and fast. Hope they release the same for existing ZF2 as well.
Nice addition, the lock home screen option was required there. :good::good:
I love the strides they've taken with the Asus launcher. Really commendable. The two different layouts, the privacy features and now the nice, fullscreen folder style.
Guys i cant use applock feature.
It keep asking me a password.any suggestion?

If asking for password that is the other old fuction, it supposed to lock the app so no one can open it but with password and it can take the picture of that person who try to access it
