Read no further if you want to enjoy the suspense...
This apparently is a beta for a gesture app. Here's a quote from the above page with only minor editing...
"SWAT can manage touches and/or gestures that you perform on the screen, independently from app that is running.
Application doesn't have any configuration, it installs and when you boot it starts autamatically and it can handle these gestures:
- 2 FINGERS: SWIPE DOWN TO HIDE/SHOW STATUSBAR
- 3 FINGERS: SWIPE DOWN TO SIMULATE HOME BUTTON
- 5 FINGERS: LONG PRESS TO BRING UP RECENT APP LIST (NOT THE STACK)
I can suggest you to try to hide statusbar (2 FINGERS SWIPE DOWN) before or when you are into the BROWSER or when you are playing some game, this prevent [to press] inadvertently soft buttons or notification area. You will always minimize application (3 FINGERS SWIPE DOWN) to return to the home, or you can jump to another application by bringing up recent app list (5 FINGERS LONGPRESS)."

I haven't tested it or anything. I'm running ICS and I guess it isn't supported for some reason... It looks neat enough Tho. I'm just lurking around looking for something safe to post about. This looks like it'll do.
Edit.:
Another quote.
At the moment it is a EARLY BETA, it is not dangerous, but with many bugs to fix and many improvements to do. ONLY FOR HC ROMs beacuse into the ICS ROMs there is a bug into SU binary. I am waiting for the patch...

I'll be glad to see it on my tab. It could be useful.

Seems like the same as "Gesture control" app. With 1 different feature. Maybe you 2 should combine your resources.

Well, if it;s like the other app, make sure USB Debugging is turned on. And, the tab must be rooted. (check SU priviledges)

Flashlight with volume up on regular S4?

So I switched from the active back to the original s4 and the option I miss the most is the flashlight option by pressing the volume up button on lock. Does anyone know of a way to do this with an app or other hack?

I loved the active but I'm with you on accessories. I bought a fairly nice case and there's so many more options for the future. Plus, if I ever want to replace the housing of the device, or even just change the color of the battery door, it'll be much simpler with the original S4. Also I don't think the Active will ever have the ROM and modifications support the S4 has even when/if they eventually get a custom recovery.

I'm on stock TW with Nottach and it doesn't seem to work for me (and a lot of other people). I've tried the shortcut option and the Nottach way (which basically is the same) and neither seem to work.

on any rom except mint jelly all mods have to be done through the xposed installer or nothing will work.you have to place the nottach Xposed apk on your sd card (or on phone storage i suppose) then you have to install with an app called xposed installer which you can get from the xposed thread. install the framework thru the xposed installer. After installing hit the module button top right and check the xposed module apk..All mods are done from there or nothing works. also when changing colors make sure the switch top right on the color choosing screen is turned on or again nothing works. give it one more try..

Don't get me wrong, I would love to do this as a flashable MOD for my DeOdexed stock (1st Gen P-Rom) without having to install anything else and I encourage anyone that can do it. I just pointed out the other thread in the APPs section so people interested can see if there is any further information in that thread that they might want to check out.
I think the "X-Posed" Mod and Nottach's contribution is awesome and potentially one of the best things that can happen for this phone, but just a simple MOD for the torch to work via volume keys sure would be nice.

I have xposedinstaller and use nottach for more than trying to get the torch to work and nottach works fine. For some reason it just doesnt work for torch
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

seems a little buggy on the torch..This is what works for me. With screen off, power button on,power button off, then volume up. Then it works, pretty much have to do it every time but at least it works that way for me. Also the setting for long press of brightness icon seems to work all of the time. Hope this works for you.

Doesn't work for me. Neither does switching music tracks with the volume keys. Anything involving volume keys just won't work using Xposed for me. :'( But the brightness shortcut works fine, I just wish the actual button hotspot was a little larger; I generally have to be sure to touch the very center of the icon for it to work.
Right now I'm just using Flashlight LED Genius, which turns on the torch on the lock screen when you shake it. Seems to work pretty well. And gives me some exercise!

Hiding Nav soft keys without an application ?

Does anyone know how could I use a build prop edit to safely hide the bottom navigation bar without using unnecessary RAM? I use LMT so it isn't necessary.
I believe its in the build . prop file because when I replaced it to do a status bar mod, the bar disappeared momentarily when the file was missing.
However, I'm new to Android and I don't want to put myself into a boot loop or worse by blindly deleting things. I don't even know how to use a recovery yet. So does anyone know where this is? Thanks
LG G2

I just use an app. Auto hide soft keys. It's in the play store. Also use LMT myself. Let me ask you something, what setting do you set gesture input to?

Softbricked my phone and had to restore to stock then re-root etc :crying:

what is LMT?

This is LMT, or one of its functions. Its a really customizable navigation bar that replaces the stock one, along with any of other gesture control you could think of. Its great, you should try it out
LG G2

It swipes in from the bottom, top or sides. You can hold the gesture and lift your finger on the button or just swipe through in the direction you want and the function will activate. It gets much more complex than my setup but I'm just keeping it simple for now

The best app to hide soft keys is UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar),it can hide your keys without the need to modify them in build prop....And replace them with its soft keys that are not only customisable but you can also make them as tiny as you want in order not ot occupy as much space...

It worked for me.Without xposed,i just ticked the option in the settings.Also you can make the keys as tiny as you want,even if you want them visible all the time and not hidden it will help alot to make them tiny.

[Q] Set custom activation method for omniswitch

How do I set a different activation method besides using the default drag handle. Cant seem to set a hardware key to do to as there is no option for it, only to open the app itself, not the switcher.

Ok, OmniSwith drawer appears when you press key assigned as "Last App list" (sorry for my inaccurate translate)

Just download app in my last post and overlay recent app's button function, if you can do this in your rom(button will call the app).
If not, call app as launcher's gesture or other way that you kwon to call a app.
When you call the app, the omniswicth overlay will open(like swipe blue overlay on right border).
If you can't config this, please pm me.
Please, check if packge of ominiswitch that you use is org.omnirom.ominiswitch. If not, send me via pm the packge name and I compile other app for your packge.
Cheers.

hamburger menu access big screen

Hi everyone
Strange question but...
On such a larger screen than I'm use to.
Is there a better way to reach one handed the slide out hamburger menu in most apps?
Usually I use my thumb but it's such a stretch to get to the top corner, some apps do slide out from the side but seem inconsistent. I'm finding it very difficult.
I am rooted and was wondering any app or modification I could use to help me.
Thanks you for listening!

Okay, some roms have what you might want. Basically I recommend flashing pimps rr from androidfilehost.com. In settings go to configurations then gestures then pie control and enable it. Then with pie control there will be home, back, recent and 3 dots (...) which will be the hamburger menu in any app. You can customise stuff and this should help you out.

Thanks for your reply. Mainly want it for apps, but didn't want to flash a new rom.
If I hold the nexus 6p at the bottom of the phone, my thumbs are a real stretch to the hamburger menu or slide out.
I will take a look at what you have posted cheers man

I had a look at some apps but most just seem to be to access apps and not the hamburger icon. As far as I know you would need to flash a rom with this pie control gesture or you might not be able to do it at all.

You could give LMT a try, might have an option for what you need.

Good work mate, I second you on that LMT app. I just tried it and it is a perfect pie with the hamburger feature. Good find, well done.

Sorry, just got back to this thread. Are you still having an issue?

Don't know if any other roms have this yet, but ABC rom does.
Huawei ported their one handed mode over to AOSP(I believe this was the story).

Thanks for replys. Still trying to get this to work.
Is it possible to set the back button in a app to toggle the hamburger menu? That would be handy because instead of backing out of the app slide from left in stead.
Cheers for patience, I did use the piepointer but found it quite difficult to use sometimes.
