Hello,
I want to try and make an app that create a menu with buttons, but then have the menu persist through other apps. An example of this would be Button Savior (an app that acts as an emergency navigation bar). Can anyone show me how to do this?
Hm, have a look at how to create floating apps.
You could check out the sources of RoundR. There was an open-source sidebar app here on XDA, too.
The code of both apps can be found on Github. Learn how they do it and do it the same way.

Hi,
I was wondering if it could be possible to make an application that would map the microphone-off toggle icon (on the tray of the phone app) to the unused button (above the 'Talk') button, in a similar way someone on this forum did with mapping his contacts application to this button.
If so, could someone give me a direction to make such an app using C++ or C#?
i search forthis long time so let me know if there are some application that allows what i want. I know it can be only for root users.
I have an idea to application that allow user change function hardware keys.My idea is change search button to bring up app switcher.Be couse i really never used that button. I know many situation when we hold "HOME" to bring it up but it take me back to home+show preview screens +bring up app switcher (i know previews can be turned off by launcher but i want previews, they are cool).You dont need hold anything.It will be much faster switching betwean applications.
So you push menu to back to menu or bring up previews
and push search button to bring application switcher.
it is good idea?
sorry for bad english.
I was ready to start a thread with a similar recquest, so I do it here.
I've using a lot an application on my previous wm devices, called AE Button plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php).
With this you could map any of hardware buttons of the device. And you could assign 4 actions to any button(click, doulbe click, triple click and click&hold) and it had many of system functions(reboot, bluetooth, wifi, gps on/off....).
On android I haven't seen any similar app(except button shortcut, which is very limited)
Is possible to have such an app on android? I hope that a developer start a project for a similar program. I found this app very useful.
Is there some way to prevent my bottom menu bar from disappearing within apps? Can I lock it? Many apps requiring using the "settings" icon (the 3 vertical bars) to modify function or to perform actions.
Is this something I've caused? Can't seem to find any obvious settings to control this. Did rooting with CWM in place affect this?
Or is this just a function of the program I'm using at the time? These programs, however, seem to expect me to have access to this button.
Thanks

i cant get what your saying :/
are you reffering to the navigation bar?
Trying to modify the SystemUI.apk (or Framework-res.apk) with the idea of hiding the Google button from the recent app panel - "status_bar_recent_launch_google_button". (long press Home button > Recent > Google Search button - bottom, middle)
Can anybody point me the right xml file(s) and the right modifications? I've been trying to figure it out for quite some time but what confuses the hack out of me is the fact that both "tw_status_bar_recent_panel.xml" files (in res > layout and layout-land) already have the original status as "android:visibility="gone" - although the Google button is there and very visible. Actually all three buttons originally have the visibility set to "gone", yet they all show???? I must be looking in the wrong place!!
I know the option is available in NottachXposed but this is part of a personal project so I would appreciate answering only in the direction I'm asking, without suggesting alternatives.
Thanks a lot.

I am looking for a way to do "right click" in Android to show context menu for an app on home screen. Say for example I want to "Freeze" (using Link2SD) an app e.g. "Bazaar", I long-tap on Bazaar and a context menu appears, one of which is Freeze. When I choose Freeze, it will pass it on to Link2SD and freeze it for me.
This is easier than opening up Link2SD, waiting for list of apps to show up, choose the app Bazaar and freeze it!
Is it possible?
Update: I guess if not already done, this might entail an Xposed module + Tasker plugin + an app to consolidate all this, right?
