Hello all
I have made an app and its called Directional Pad. And the short form of this app is D-Pad.
What it does is it simulates directional keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and PRESS) Due to some reason you will need ROOT access without ROOT access this app cannot work.
The app is shown as overlay, which means it can be placed over other apps.
The app works same as the directional keys does on a computer keyboard. You will tap UP and the upward option is highlighted and to select it you can tap the press button.
If you want to tap something which is below the d-pad then you can do it by tapping the hide button, everything would be hidden and a show button will appear. The placement of show button is done keeping in mind that it will not block other options, if still it is blocking the option then you can tap show button and then can tap stop button to stop the application.
The app will not work very fast on the mobiles which take time to provide root access and i can't do anything about this.
This app is completely free and without any adware and made with the help of Tasker, you are not allowed to distribute the app but you can always share the link to this post
If you like the app then please support us by liking and sharing this post on Facebook.
A big thanks to Tasker

Is there a way to change the double tap of the home button to something other then the camera. I'd like to put a different app on this if possible?

I've been using a combination of Home2 Shortcut and Recent Task 2 to have my home button launch recent apps when I double tap it. You must disable the double tap camera function on your S7 to get it to work.
Home2 Shortcut is a really old app but it still works. It acts as a home launcher replacement that listen to how many times the home button is tapped. The app's settings lets you choose what app to open when it's double tapped and what home launcher to open when it's single tapped.
Thanks, shoremunkey, I'll try them out.
Yes, download "Home2 Shortcut" app.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
Also "all in one gestures". It doesn't have the double tap feature, but it allows you to reassign the home back and recent buttons to whatever you like. It provides different functions for holding, and also gives the option to use edge swiping.
For example I changed the "back" function to the recent button because I'm left handed, when I that button it kills the foreground app. The back button has the recents function and when it's held it takes a screen shot. Then I used a swiping gesture from the bottom of the screen to drop the notification drawer. It works great especially using finger print unlock because as soon as it unlocks I swipe my thumb up the screen and it shows my notifications.
Hey do you mind telling me how you got home2 shortcut to work. I disabled the camera double tap shortcut and assigned an application in step one however for the last step "close" closing the dialog, I am not presented with an option to choose a launcher like the app says. Thanks
I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.
This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.
Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.
A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!
NOTE: This is only original work in the sense that I put several different methods together to achieve what I personally wanted. I use a dark theme in my S8 so seeing the Bluetooth icon in the quick settings can be hard in the sunlight when I get in the car so I put this together to help me and I decided to share this with the community. Nearly all of the credit goes to others for making this possible.
PREREQUISITES
TASKER
APP FACTORY (TASKER PLUGIN) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory
YOUR PREFERRED BIXBY REMAPPING APP
First things first we need to set up a profile to intercept when the Bixby button is pressed. The following is what I use:
Profile: Bixtooth (32)
Event: Variable Set [ Variable:%WIN Value:Bixby* User Variables Onlyff ]
Enter: Bixtooth (31)
A1: Bluetooth [ Set:Toggle ]
I will link to the profile for you to download for simplicity at the end if the guide.
Now we have to give the task an icon. Open the tasks tab, then open the Bixtooth task. In the bottom right corner three is a grid icon. Tap that and select whatever icon/image you want to give it. I personally selected the bixby icon that I got from Google image search.
Next, we have to export the task as an app using the app factory plugin. This is very simple. Just go to the tasks tab, highlight the Bixtooth task and tap the 3 dot menu and select export, then export it as an app.
Give it a name so Android can recognize it such as "com.bluetooth.bixby" then tap Back then once it's compiled, (about 5 seconds) tap the little Android icon to install it as a dedicated app.
The final step is to use your preferred bixby remapping app that will remap it to an app, then simply select remap to the new Bixtooth app we just installed and you're done!
Now whenever you tap the bixby button, it will toggle Bluetooth instead.
This is just a simple way of making life a little safer while driving. Hope it helps!
Is there a native way to lock the phone using a double tap, widget, etc? Just looking for anything OTHER THAN a physical button to save wear and tear on the button. I prefer a soft button / widget, but if something is built-in, I could get used to it without having to add-on software.

Negative. No tap wake and no app. Said they were thinking about adding tap maybe in a future update
You can double home button or status bar to lock with Lineage. This function is configurable in settings, no need extra app.
If you choose to install Xposed, GravityBox has the option to dbl-tap status bar for.sleep
I use Screen Off and Lock from the playstore. If using the stock launcher, click on the icon to turn off/lock. If using Nova Launcher, set up the double tap to run the Screen off and lock program (in the Gestures & inputs). Been using it for years with no problems.
