[Q] Paranoid Expandable Desktop - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been working on a theme to post at mycolorscreen.com and when I was creating the wallpapers I took a screenshot
to get the exact size of the screen not realizing the soft key buttons covered the bottom portion of my theme (in Tablet UI).
I can get around using Apex Actions to see my recent apps and quick settings, but the problem is when I'm in expandable
desktop mode and I'm using an app I don't have the back or home button therefore I have to hold down the power button and
get out of expandable desktop mode and its just a pain in the butt and such a hassel. My question is is there anyway I can
use my volume up button for home and the volume down for back? Or perhaps an app someone knows off that could help me
with my situation?
Thanks in advance, elRei

Flash the latest Paranoid beta (v2.99 1/14/13) and turn on pie controls under Settings>Toolbars and you'll have this when swiping from the bottom of the screen in expanded desktop mode.

Hiding the buttons

I find the virtual buttons a bit of a nuisance, I would much rather use gestures. I originally wanted to hide them only on my home screen, but it seems it's all or nothing with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop.
I'm fine getting rid of them, however I'm wondering if there is a gesture system I can have instead, for example a swipe from bottom takes me to the home screen?
Edit: I'm on rooted stock 4.3.
I'm using cataclysm ROM which has a unique feature which fades out the buttons after ten seconds in any app. Other wise I think there's an xposed module that can have swipes to navigate.

Thanks man, turns out I was Googling for the wrong thing - once I figured out that they were called navigation bars I came across an app called " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" for rooted devices. (For future people)
I'd rather keep with rooted stock for now but I will be sure to keep an eye on it for when I decide to dabble in roms.

[Q] Notification Bar and power off glitch

This is a rather advanced site to post a question on. I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can shed any light on this problem.
I have a Note 10.1 (2014) Wi-Fi only. I have an issue pulling down the notification bar, my gesture sometimes does not register. When I press the power button to lock the device, I see a quick flash of a blue screen. Lastly, there are times when I try to power off the entire device and I get this screen instead of the regular power off options. I see the attached images. Apparently tapping 'OK' does not switch off the device, but tapping 'Cancel' does. I have turned off and on the device but the glitch happens off and on.

The first issue I had with my note and it was being caused by the magnet in the case. Pulled the case away from the body and heu presto the problem goes away. The second problem I also had and it was caused by one of the modules I used in the xposed framework. Have you recently installed any xposed modules if so I would disable them all first then reactivate them 1 by 1 till you find the conflict.

Smart remote

Hi
Anybody know what am doing wrong to get the widget of the smart remote on the lock screen?
it in Smart Remote app setting, it should say "Always show remote control on lockscreen" some like that.
I have done that. As well as the application reset, clear cache and date.
Yep I've got the same problem but the funny thing is it DID work for the 1st few days I had the phone.
I'm pretty sure I lost the lock screen widget when my phone updated to ANE2.
I've tried both smart remote and WatchON and neither widgets appear on the lockscreen.
They do both work on the notification panel though
It works fine for me on an ne2 base. Apart from having it toggled on have you selected what device you want it to use

Dumb question where do you select which room for the widget? I can't find it
There is solution for my one. Open smart remote, go to remote screen buttons and leave app by pressing the "home button" instead the "back"
I asked developers few times never told the word

[Source] InterfaceSample

I'm sick of modern UI styles. The worst thing about 'em is "Hamburger menu".
1) It's button is in FAR LEFT corner of the screen. Of my 4.8" screen! And there are 6"+ screens already.
2) Oh, you think "there is a gesture to open the menu if you don't like the button". But it's conflicting with PIVOTS!
So... I made an example app with a usable interface. And I release it as a source so YOU, developers, can use it. No license, you're free to use it as you want (without warranty of any kind of course). However I'll be happy if you mention me in about page of your app.
First of all screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's done:
1) Menu button moved to the bottom.
2) First (and most used menu item) is lowest. ListBox is upside down.
3) No gestures.
4) No pages with crazy navigation history. Most used features are on main page, others are on external pages.
5) Each PivotItem can easily have its own AppBar (it's not system AppBar).
I have more ideas and this project will evolve for some time.
Now, the source: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/InterfaceSample
Added "..." button with menu. Style is ugly for now.
Hamburger now closes if you tap right from it.

6.0.1+: Good Lock - How to adjust volume properly?

On KK and LL, and even with MM it is real easy to change all the volumes.
Press either volume key once, then you was able to adjust all volume (media, notification, etc.)
Now I can press VOL_UP, VOL_DOWN, but nothing really happens.
I tried all the magic, went into Settings, but without luck.
Again, on stock it's fine.
Maybe Samsung forgot to include this in Good Lock?
They even made it official some time ago.
Pressing the empty right area there, where the normal UI have the arrow does nothing.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So something weird happened.
Installed the latest 24.0.7 version.
After installing it, and had a reboot.
When I pressed the volume keys, I had this little arrow.
Fast forward a few days.
Disliked the default purple pastel color, so I changed the color to a new one.
POOF, the arrow is gone.
It's a bug, I am 99% sure, but there is no way to contact / tell Samsung I suppose.
