Ipad-like mutlitask gestures on lg optimus one

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.

This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.

it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

I did try that app but it does not work properly with multiple user profiles.

Just tried it, and on cleanroom 1.3, the nav bar vanished completely. No way to restore with without rebooting into safe mode and uninstalling it.

CM10.2 Kanged rom has this feature in there as well as lots of others like the AppBar/Ribbon support, Halo Notifications, Center Clock, transparent bars, Bar colors and tweaks, theme support, AOKP keyboard, etc.
I've been using it for a few days and feels great. I'm not sure if I supports tablet mode, but I'm trying to get used to the stock UI on a tablet.

I have already tried that app and it was already mentioned in this thread as well. The app is very buggy and does not work well with multiple user profiles. Start on boot does not work either. I had sent an email through Play Store but never received any acknowledgement.

You can edit the DPI following these instuctions.

:silly: I replied in wrong thread. Anyway I just got NN7 and I'm testing it. I will check multiple accounts problem, but I cannot reproduce autostart on boot problem on any of my devices including NN7. On topic: PA rom allows to change navigation bar size or you can change device dpi as already suggested.

No worries. I think someone else said that set-on-boot does not work either. It could be related to multiple-user issue with my device.

adding soft buttons/disable hard buttons?

does anyone know how to enable the on screen soft keys and disable the hard keys

This.
I have been wondering this since I picked up my note 3. Coming from a galaxy nexus, I'm missing my on screen button navigation. I really hate clicking a button to go home.

same here i had the nexus then got so used to it so I added them to the Note 2. But unfortunately I tried the same method by editing the build.prop on the note 2 to get the soft buttons to work on the note 3 but it crashes the system ui. Hopefully someone know a way.

If you are rooted, you can add LMT / Pie Control but not sure on disabling the hard buttons.
If you are not rooted, I was thinking there was an app similar to Pie in the market but I did not find it with a quick search.

same here.
And change the build prop because it will give you a bunch of force closures.
Closes I came to a navigation was floating soft keys in the market.

why would you? you lose screen space and they are already built in so you lose more then you gain

I would recommend to use Ultimate Navbar for softkeys
And Xposed Additions to disable/remap hardware keys

I use LMT an have the activation point just above the home button. I've been using it since the day I rooted and like it a lot.

Which module disables the hardware keys?

i heard that the same way as the note 2 in which you edit the build.prop works but there is an addtional step needing requring editing framework. If anyone is familiar please share. thanks

Be sure to install version 2.2 and not the attached .apk in the OP which is only 1.x for some reason. 1.x version .apk doesn't even have an interface lol, he just updated it the other day.

You don't lose any screen area with pie control. There is nothing on the screen for buttons until you touch the area you've set as the activation area in the settings. The activation area is not visible at all.

Wow, I can't imagine taking up a tenth of my screen over nav bar. That's just me, it's just weird when the keys are right under. Its just awkward imo. I love the nav bar on nexus devices, or any devices that don't have soft keys and a physical home button.

what i did for the note 2 was buy a skin that would cover the home button and the whole bottom bezel. it was a beauty. i hate the hardware buttons.

the skin would stick on the whole bottom of the phone including the button. you could see the outline of if you were to press on the area where the button is.

I just installed the Hyperdrive ROM and it has support for softkeys that do not cover up the bottom of most apps. Does anyone know of any other ROMs that have successfully implemented this?

Switching keyboard modes

On the N8, 10.1 one can use a two finger pich to change keyboard modes (fixed, floating, split). On the 12.2 you cannot. this is especially annoying when in multiwindow mode and it defaults to the tiny floating keyboard. Am I missing a setting or is there a workaround?

+1 for any info on this. I thought the keyboard button was on every configuration of the keyboard, but it doesn't seem to show up in the multi window keyboard.

When you hold that button you can select one of the options that shows up. Whichever one you choose will be the default from then on until you choose another one

Not as elegant or easy as with the two-finger gesture. Also, doesnt always revert to ABC keyboard after putting away pen.
Would like to see the two-finger gesture ported over. Its embarrassing to show off multiwindow, have small keyboard pop up. Is there way to default to full keyboard regardless of window configuration?

Not that I know of. Maybe you could something to uninstall. I thin there is a keyboard on the app store that can be set up similarly

Wasnt just embarrising today, it slowed me down. Remoted in to my files and had webmail side by side, had to fiddle to get full screen keyboard.
I will say this thing has saved my ass 100 times over already. Its def. works in a highly professional environment (in this case, $1bln+ bond closing). Very useful to carry around the room, fix documents etc.

This is a nice alternative to the samsung keyboard. It isnt quite as ergonomic as the built in one but it wont default to a mini one when you are using the multi window
It is called hackers keyboard and is free on the play store. It is highly configureable and should be exactly what you are looking for.

Looking for a way to turn the screen off without hitting the power button

I am looking to add a button\widget to the homescreen that will shut the screen off. After looking for some apps I found some that will accomplish this but force a pin upon turning the screen on even if I used the fingerprint scanner. Is there such an app?
Thank you in advanced!

kernel or a rom

I use two fingers swipe down instead of double tap. You can set any gesture you want.

Roms have double tap top screen to sleep.

Everyone he already given all info needed. This is one of many reasons why I love roms. I always have a custom tile for screen off and a softkey just for screen off that way I can access it either way and not hit a button. Nexus devices have always had crappy buttons and I don't wanna mess em up by hitting them 20,000 times so thats how I get around it. Lots of great 100% stable custom roms to choose from. Pure Nexus, Chroma, RR, AICP, Aokp, the list goes on.. Nexus is the best device for roms. Cheers.

LMT Launcher supports this. Bind one of the items to key code 29 to do a screen off.

GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)

Just download Nova and set a gesture, no root needed. I pinch the screen to turn it off.

Do you mean like this. Look at bottom right hand side in nav bar. No xposed. Pure stock rooted.

The Best one I've ever seen is run resurrection remix with whatever kernel, elemental is good or Franco. Then simply add an extra nav bar button. So instead I having three at the bottom I have 4. You have the back, home, and recents +power button on the far right of nav bar. A single process turn off long press and you'll get the power menu with screenshot power off and reboot and reboot to recovery that's all you want.

It's within systemui.apk. Me and @Tigerstown will be releasing a nav bar mod pack.

If you can wait 7 seconds, you can use a Tasker shortcut to set the screen time out to 7 seconds, and then restore it after it goes off.

And you can unlock the phone with fingerprint? If I lock the screen with gesture in nova I can't unlock with only fingerprint, it also requires password. To get around that you need root.

Just link the double tap gesture in Nova to screen Lock pro. It will work without root and fingerprint will still work. Been using it for months.

Screen off app with nova launcher. Set the app to the double tap gesture in Nova.
