Is there anyway I can add some apps to the Air Command options?

it needs to flash a mod (after unlock-bootloader and root)
or completely custom rom that support this
search dev. sec. and ask them to think about it...

Samsung programmers must be idiots. This would have been a great feature.

i was searching the net for this too these days but found nothing about it.
would really like to see a mod allowing us to custumize it.
i dont use (s)crapbook and sfinder for example and i have uninstalled them, so clicking the icons in air command triggers nothing atm.

In my view, all the options on Air Command are useless with the exception of Action Memo.

ahah it is more annoying then useful! every time i extract s pen i must close it >.<.... i use it only for screenshot and rarely for clipping... it's a circle , they could at least, let us choose other command to complete the circle xD

No problem.

Great idea
I would really love this:fingers-crossed:. I wonder if an app would have to replace the existing air command.

There is currently no such application.
Maybe we should contact some people that can do this and ask them if they would do it.
Do you know anyone in this forum?

U could ask wanam to add such a feature to wanam exposed.
Or the guy who did "pen window manager"
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

yes, there is an esy way, but you must have root, there is an apk, pen window manager, and even another to launch air command without detaching the pen, it is pen window launcher, pen window manager is really helpful, since you can put any app you want in pen window

[ solved ] Nova Launcher prime - double tap to sleep - how to?

as the title says - how to enable double tap to sleep (screen off) using gestures in Nova Launcher prime?
i know it has something to do with assigning an activity via Nova Launcher gestures, but i can't find any activity that relates to screen off or sleep...
any help is appreciated...
note:
i know how to do this using an extra app "Screen Off and Lock", but i just wanted to know is there a posibility to avoid any extra apps to achieve the same thing...

Download Turn Off Screen from play store and assign it to Double Tap on Nova launcher in Gesture Settings.

i think you posted this in the same time i was writing the "note" part in my post

I think not. If i remember, it worked well without 3rd party app, but now it is "disabled". Anyway, here is another guide:
"The Nova Launcher option
Another app that functions very similarly to the way you’d use Apex Launcher is*Nova Launcher. The same as you did for the first method, you will only be able to use this one if you also installed Greenify on the device. Therefore, you should go to the Google Play store and look for these two tools and install them.
Whenever you’re ready, check the steps below:
Open Nova Launcher and go to its Settings.Click on Gestures and Buttons and scroll down to Gestures.Select Double Tap and wait for the Choose Action menu to load.Go to Shortcuts, and then click on Hibernate and Lock Screen.
You may have noticed before that selecting the right settings in the first application is going to automatically send you to the second app you need to use. In this case,*Greenify will open*a new discussion and ask you to authorize Nova to use your screen.
You should go under the Automator and click on Allow Greenfy, and then confirm this option by pressing Activate. You’re now good to go and can test if the display is working properly by double tapping to send it to sleep."

thanks, but i don't use greenify and this guide is more complicated than "nova + screen off&lock" option which i already use...

Easy, you don't need to use a 3rd party app. Just doubletap the status bar to sleep
You can do this in every app, whenever you want to sleep just double tap status bar

i know that but it's not confortable enough...
i even had double tap navbar to sleep (g3twb) which worked well until i started using 5 buttons navbar making it harder to hit the blank area...

It looks like you may need first of all nova launcher prime, after that , you may need greenify as well.Here is what i did and it works.
1 . Go to Nova settings>gestures and input>double tap
2 . swipe right to the shortcuts tab and then go down you may find "hibernate + lockscreen"
3 . Assign it and it works!
double tap to sleep is working for me.
hope this helps.

thanks, but please read all the posts again before posting what i (we) already know and wrote
1. i already have nova prime (else - i won't be asking because gestures don't work with free version anyway)
2. i've said that i got it working with "screen off & lock" app
cheers

Screen turns off if knocked on or close to status bar when I do it.

But what is the problem with having another app installed? Its size is ridiculous and it solves your problem, and always you can hide if u dont want to see it.

Greenify is the only solution for you if your using Stock ROM

i don't plan to use aosp rom...
people - please read the posts before you suggest something already solved or written...

From the apps that I have Tasker and GravityBox can do screen off/sleep. And if you are using them already that doesn't count as an extra app, right?
Just realized this myself, one less app in my phone. I think I will go with tasker since I already run a lot of stuff with it.

but it's nice to see extra suggestions coming in... it will surely help someone to pick a perfect app combo for this purpose...

Oh man, you should try tasker. It's what puts SMART in smartphone. Was messing around today with it. I found an old buss ticket that can work as nfc tag and put it on my phone holder on bicycle. I have set it to trigger launching Strava app, turning on GPS, setting brightness to max and forcing landscape mode for that app. And when I exit app, BAM, it reverts everything back the way it was. It's like slide and click instead of multiple actions. Might be overly excited about it right now, and definitely off topic here, but had to mention it hehe. I hope you will find a way to use that gesture the way you want, everything is possible on android

if you knew how i use my device you'd be asking "why don't i use nokia 3310 instead?"
no gps, no bluetooth, no location of any kind, no gaming, half of google services blocked etc...
no vibers, no hangouts, no skypes, no syncs - some calls, few sms messages... (i mostly communicate through google chat and emails while on pc since most of my work depends on beeing on pc anyway)
i read articles, browse and listen to music 90% of the time...
call me old fashioned - but i still love to have some "human manual control" over things on my device

app disabler for moto g play?

Is there a recommended app to use to for moto G play to disable certain apps? For instance, I use package disabler pro for my samsung s7.
I need to disable the google app from the long press home button for my 12 year old. We run norton family on chrome, but for whatever reason, the google now apps have always been exempt from norton filters. The phone did an update this morning and now I can't find any way to disable that feature or lock it with applock.

One more question I hope you'll know... As I was closing apps from the square "recent apps" button, the google search bar now appears at the top (and is accessible). Any ideas how to get rid of it? We are using Nova Launcher instead of google's native launcher, which helped get rid of the original google search bar on the home screen.

Nevermind, I figured it out after googling for a while. I had to restart the phone after your steps and then it no longer appeared in the recent apps screen.

Split screen option missing

Probably doing something dumb but can't find an obvious answer.
When I press the icon above the app in the Recents I only get the option to 'Open in pop-up view' no option to open in split screen.

Also the camera shutter sounds option is missing ?

Mine has the option for split screen. Have you tried other apps?

Tried all the usual suspects only get option to open in pop up window. Using force all apps setting in MultiStar makes no difference.

press the task manager and the icon of the app u can split there.. its the new way of One UI.... all samsung has split screen

Thanks, that is exactly what I have done. The option is missing.

Press the button towards the bottom and it will asked you what apps to open in multi window...you pick the app and drag to the portion of the screen you want

It's because you are using the task changer in good lock. For some reason they removed the option when you change from the default task switcher.

I'm hoping that it's on the to do list as GoodLock has only just been upgraded for P.

Lucky you cause mines appears very differently. Heard a rumour it's down to your carrier, I'm with EE.
I'd upload a screen shot but I keep getting ad request. Pretty new to the forum etc so not sure if it has to be a particular file format or size.

Mine has not got carrier bloat it's generic UK.
I don't have the option for shutter sound either.

If using Good Lock like me then go to task manager window. Hold the icon of the app you want to split screen and you should get the screen as attached. Hopefully that works for you.

Thanks, that only gives you a pop up not a split. I've reported the missing feature to Samsung so fingers crossed it will be fixed soon.

Apps that can be split screened will show an option at the bottom or top of screen. Try splitting an app like chrome with YouTube. Different apps give different options. Some can't be split screened.

Understand.
In this case every app does not give the option.
For example:

You can use bxActions to map split screen to your bixby button.

Don't do it with the app that sits on top of the list. Go to another app, so that the app you want to split is shown second.
Now tap and hold this second app (the icon on the top or the whole app thumbnail, as both work) and it will give you the option to split.
Strange.

My split screen is working and I also have the option for shutter sound.

Menu?

How to set to get to the menu using gestures? Is there any apk that supports this without root

I use nova launcher and this let me set up double tap to open settings. Hope that helps. [emoji6]

Ok, I also have Nova, and can be set at a single click, or in gestes?

Nova settings - gestures & inputs - select gesture then select app settings.

Sorry I can't read that.

He's talking about this menu button here http://androidapphut.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/action-bar-1-680x322.jpg
I use LMT to add it back to my phone since Google has seemed to remove it from Android

This apk. Work in one plus 6t?

I think some of the features work even without root.

The idea is very good but no root is not useful. In addition, there is no desired menu. It's on your photo, but I've installed apps and it's not there!

You need to configure the buttons you want. It is all done from within the app. Please don't claim something does not work if you never even looked at the settings.
