So for a long time the only issue I have with this device is that while writing on the device, or holding it watching videos or similar accidental pressing of the hardware buttons can be a pain. I always thought it would be ideal to quickly be able to turn the hardware buttons on and off. As it turns out this was always available without root, but not obviously, so if this is of interest read below:
To disable the hardware buttons you need to enable interaction control. This allows you to disable access to certain parts of the screen (not needed), and is typically intended for expo type use, or giving the tablet to children. However while active this mode also cuts all input from the home, back and menu buttons ( ).
Open settings, Device, Accessibility, then scroll all the way to the bottom, and turn on interaction control.
If you read the text it tells you that this can be enabled with the home/volume down combo, or a triple press of home if enabled in "direct access". All good, if you are happy with the home/volume down combo you are all set. However the problem is that I would prefer the triple home option, and in my current rom based on stock 4.4.2 (and possibly therefore on stock as well) Samsung seems to have completely omitted the "direct access" option within the settings menu.
Without the ability to activate "direct access" you are stuck with the home/volume down combo as the only way to enable/disable the feature. However I noticed that the "direct access" menu option was available on my galaxy s4, and that Samsung gives the option to import/export accessibility settings between devices. So I quickly enabled the triple home option on my s4, exported the accessibility options and imported them onto my note 10.1 2014. This worked perfectly, and I can now enable or disable the hardware keys with a simple triple press of the home button.
For those of you without access to another samsung device here is the accessibility settings file to import

This doesn't work for me. I get an error telling me it cannot activate while multi-window is in use, even though only one window is open when I attempt this.

You have to un-check multi-window option from pulled down notification first. Samsung should change the meassage to " disable multi window option " rather than say "while multi-window is in use"

Hi I just got a Nexus 6p and its been great but I have low vision and if I keep the option turned on the phone, it becomes very laggy so I would like to only use it when I need to.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you .
This isn't exactly what you wanted, but it's kind of close...
I use ADW as my launcher, which allows me to set custom shortcuts on my home screen. Other launchers might offer the same functionality.
I long pressed on my home screen and selected the Add tab on the popup. I then tapped Custom Shortcut, and tapped "Pick your activity." Next, I tapped Activities, scrolled down to Settings and expanded the list. It's rather long, but in that list there is one called "Accessibility(.Settings$AccessibilitySettingsActivity)". I selected that one, gave it a name (what it displays under the icon), and pressed OK. This created a settings gear icon on my home screen that when tapped goes straight to the accessibility options in the settings menu, and then you can tap the toggle for Magnification.
Alternatively, you should be able to do the same thing with Tasker if you have it installed and it's a bit easier. Make a new Task, give it a title (anything) and press the plus to add a step. Select Settings, then Accessibility settings (first option). There is some "if" options, but you can just tap your back button to go back to the step list. Create a widget for Tasker (1x1 task) and select the name of the task you just created. You then need to select an icon for the "widget" by tapping the icon in the lower right that looks like 9 squares in a grid. There are a bunch of built in icons you can choose from, or use your own. The result will be an icon on your desktop that goes to the accessibility options screen, allowing you to quickly toggle the magnification gesture.
Again, sorry this isn't exactly what you asked for, but it would save some taps. Luckily the mag gesture toggle is high enough in the list of options that it should always be on the screen when you open the accessibility settings, so you won't need to scroll.
Lastly, if you are rooted, you could use Tasker to also hit the toggle for you. If you want instructions for that, please do let me know and I'd be happy to share how to do that. It would allow you to tap the "widget" and it would then launch the accessibility settings, wait a second and then tap the toggle, and go back to the home screen. That way you wouldn't need to toggle it yourself.

Thanks a lot!
So it sounds like theres no way to make a widget the will toggle it specifically, without rooting my device.
And if I do root it and use Tasker it will take almost the same time as if I didn't.
If thats no other way then I guess I should root it even though Id prefer not too.
Unless theres another way, Instructions would be great! Thanks again!
Are you familiar with Tasker? It's a paid app, but it's absolutely worth it and you'll find lots of uses for it. I use it to auto reply to text messages while I'm driving, mute my phone when I'm at work (calendar based) turn on wifi when I'm at home (location based), etc.
First thing you need to do is find the location of the toggle on the screen. Go to Developer Settings and turn on "Show Pointer Location". This will make a gray bar at the top of your screen that lists your X and Y coordinates at the top when you are touching the screen. Go to the accessibility settings and touch the toggle, taking note of what the X and Y coordinates are for that touch input.
To simulate touch input, can make a task that opens the accessibility settings as I described above, then add a "wait" command (Task > Wait), enter a value of 1 second. Next enter a command for Code and select Run Shell. Under the command, type "input tap x y" where x and y are the x and y coordinates that you found for the toggle. Make sure the "use root" box is checked. Lastly, add a Tasker command to go to the home screen (back to where you started with the "widget").
Back all the way out of Tasker to save that task, then go back in and press the play button at the bottom left side to test your setup. You should see it launch the accessibility settings, wait a second, toggle, and go home. The first time you run it you will need to grant Tasker root permissions, so be ready for that. If you're not quick to approve it, the task may proceed and go to your home screen before you press approve, so you might need to run it again a second time after you approve it.
If you need more help with, or have any questions, please do let me know. Happy to help.

Sorry for the delay. I am not aware of any widgets. I couldn't find a widget on the Play Store or light Google searching.
Regarding the adapter, the 6p should have come with a short USB A to USB C cable specifically for connecting to a PC.

Have you used the built in magnification gesture? You turn it on in accessibility settings, then when you need something to be bigger, just tap the screen 3 times rapidly. You can use pinch to zoom to adjust the text size. When you're finished with it, tap the screen 3 times again. I use it when an app's text is just too small.

Haha Yes I have tried it you have to tap your finger 3 times to magnify which means every time you tap something once it waits to see if you will tap more times and cause slight lag.

Lol I was so excited for my new phone I never checked but I found it !
Thanks I will root it when I get the chance.
i have the same exact problem,i absolutely love the feature as i wouldn't be able to use any phone with out it but it also gets frustrating sometimes (the touch delay) for example in the dialer app or Instagram.
a toggle in the notification panel would be great or an app through which you specifically enable/disable the gestures for each individual app.
any other alternative would be appreciated, somebody posted the same issue here with a possible fix (which i am not exactly sure how to implement) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39685

Nice to know I'm not the only one.
Sorry for the late reply been busy with school. It would be nice to have this option maybe like a button shortcut .
Hey guys so that way of using tasker is very slow and not feasible.
Is there any other way of making a quick toggle magnification gestures. It would be nice if I could hold the menu button to enable it. (IPhone tripple tap home button to toggle)
Thanks again.
I have low vision as well and have also found that leaving the magnification gesture turned on causes the phone to be laggy even when I don't actually have the magnification turned on. Instead of using that, I rooted my phone, changed the global DPI and I use App Settings (an Xposed module) to increase the font size in some apps or force the standard DPI in apps that have issues with the custom one.
There's a gestural workaround I've employed: if instead of just putting down my finger I drag my finger slightly (in any direction) then the lag almost disappears. Doing this helps a lot but obviously its a bit of an awkward gesture.

How did you set it up?
There's no set up. I just do that gesture to get the scrolling to stop when I have magnification enabled.

Hey Guys,
i have a general question. Is there a mod or. APK where i can define a point/dot on my Touchscreen and map it to a Hardware Button of the car (e.g. Steering wheel Buttons)?
What i want to Do is, to control the Touchscreen without touching. Seems funny but would be perfect, cause id like the steering wheel buttons.
I am using Android Auto with HeadUnit Reloaded, and switching through music with my Buttons works perfectly. Now it would be awesome to launch Google Assistant through a Button. Inside HUR isnt the Option to map the Assistant. And in my Hal9K mood i tried several Things.
So i thought, i am. 90% Inside Android Auto and the G Assistant Touch Icon is in bottom right corner. So i need a App that points on that Display location and simulate a Touch press, when i press the steering wheel. Is that possible?
Thanks for your time and help
Best wishes

That is a great idea! There is a way to send touches on the screen. You can do it via command line, e.g. :
input tap 560 960
You can also send key events the same way:
input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP
You can browse in internet for the whole list. To determine the coordinates you can enable debug mode, and there is an option that is called INPUT -> pointer location.
This will display the coordinates on the screen whether you put your finger on.
Now, to map hardware buttons I think there are a couple of applications that let you do that. You can also map the hardware button to the key M to start the assistant. If I remember properly that is the hot key from HUR to start the microphone.
Let me know how it goes, I am also interested!
EDIT: Yet another way is to trigger an intent from the HUR app:
am start -a gb.xxy.hr.mic
There are several apps that let you start intents like tasker.
Am application to map the buttons without requiring root is Button Mapper.

The other day while driving I suddenly had a question. Why cannot you use the voice activated trigger! Ok Google, to start the voice commands? That way you don't need to press the voice button.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Toggeling with voice is Okey but often i have to scream or turn volume down. Or say it multiple Times. So a key is much more comfortable to me. My Touchscreen is Not perfectly reachable during driving so steering wheel buttons would be the perfect solution for me ?
Hey Fgarcor,
I had some time so investigate the problem. What i have done so far:
Mapping all my Hardware Keys to specific keycodes:
-Google Assisstant - - > 289
-Start Route - - > 288
-Switch Spotify - - > 291
-See Notifications - - > 292
-Route Option A - - > 283
-Route Option B - - > 284
-Route Option C - - > 285
So thats all "Events" i need for android auto. Then i went into debug Mode an locate the coordinates for each section:
-Google Assisstant - - > 925 x 556 y
-Start Route - - > 224 x 450 y
- Switch Spotify - - > 215 x 550 y
- See Notifications - - > 791 x 562 y
- Route Option A - - > 260 x 175 y
- Route Option B - - > 260 x 275 y
- Route Option C - - > 260 x 375 y
So i have all Information that i needed an just have to merged them but i dont know where can i define specific commands. I tried "Button Remapper Pro" but the APK does Not detect my keycodes.
Where can i Set up some command lines? Do i have to install a specific Module in Magisk Manager? Or is there Kind of a console on my rooted Android Radio?
Sorry, i dont understand it for 100% and need your help, Thanks
Best wishes

Hi Rene,
I don't have the pro version, I just tested on my phone to associate a long press on the volume down button to start the Google assistant and it worked. So I guess for your case you can do the following to associate a key with the Google assistant, I see several options:
- On the main screen select "add buttons". Now that the hardware button is not any of the standard buttons like home, recents, volume, etc that you would find on a phone.
- then press the hardware button you want to add so the application automatically reads the code, on this case one of the keycodes that you sent before.
- associate the action with the button you just pressed, you can associate to:
--- actions: like sending keycodes (only for pro it seems), or intents (actions inside an application that can be started from outside of the application), other typical actions like volume control, home, etc
--- applications: launching one of the installed applications
--- shortcuts: available for some applications to start an action quickly.
- here you can select as action send keyevent and there you can choose to send KEYCODE_M. That is specified by HUR as the key to launch the mic, in your case assistant, that way you are independent of a change in the interface and coordinates.
- you can select also to send a shell command, and there you can write what we discussed before "input tap x y". And replace X and Y with your coordinates.
- you could also select directly the assistant under actions, veggie the last one, but I think that would trigger the assistant on your head unit Android and but in HUR.
I hope it helps, if questions, feel free to ask.

Sorry I missed this part, how did you get your keycodes in the first place?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your reply Basically i opened Hal9K MOD Settings. There is a Option called "remap Buttons". There i can enable "keycodes" so whenever i press a key, the Code will displayed for a few seconds. I also can Change the Button functions from a define keycode list (i am Not able to enter a specific keycode). So i put all the Buttons i want to use to a defined keycode which has no function on my Radio yet.
I downloaded tasker and tried to Set up shell commands. I Used "Input tap x y" whenever the specific keycode Was Red. But it seems, tasker cant read the keycodes? I tried to put in the if statement:
getKeyCode() == 289
Keyevent.getKeyCode() ==289
Input keyevent == 289
And some combimations of that but Google assisstant wont start.
Maybe i have to implement a whole Script for that? Never die amything like that, could be funny ?
Thanks for your help so far

Can you try with the following app? This is the one I use to know what are the values of the key pressed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.keyeventdisplay
You can check whether the keys are pressed, if they are detected by Android and in that case which value are they bound with.
I am not sure whether the mapping you made was to give a keycode to a hardware button or to remap existing keycodes. In the second case I would skip the remapping and just use the original values.
You can check with this app before and after assigning the keycodes to the hardware buttons, and maybe I can understand better how does it work for you. Sorry.

Fgarcor you are absolutly right, thank you!! But this confuses me much more ? find attached a Screenshot from your apk.
It seems that the keycodes i "mapped" in Hal9K, werent really mapped. Cause in the output of "keyeventdisplay" there are different keycodes. As you mentioned, this have to be the right Codes.
Nevertheless there are just a couple of Buttons recognized but this would be Okey first of All.
A big Mysterium for me is still Tasker ? I dont know how to Set up a Profile that makes a Input tap whenever a Button was Pressed? Which variable/function Do i have to Check for the keyevent?
Im sorry for annoying you, but there is no comprehensibly thread to find on Google. Do you have some experience with tasker and Set up something like this?
I am really thankful for your help so far

It looks like the 19,20,21,22 area corresponding to the arrows (up, down, left right, not necessarily in that order) and the 87, 88 could be select and back?
I think I have something similar in my head unit.
Coming back to the mapping to actions. You said that Button Mapper is not detecting your key presses when you try to add a button? Even after unmapping them from your keycodes in your head unit? Because that is the easiest way to move forward.
Regarding tasker I haven't used it much. Once I tried to set a routine but it turned out macrodroid did the job better than tasker and I sticked to it.
Let me check if I can find it how to do it in tasker.
EDIT: it seems that tasker needs a plugin called auto input where you can either select the key presses to react to, as a trigger, or they can be detected by the app. This is a paid plugin with a trial period of 7 days.
And then I read in some forums that to run a shell command you may need to have root on the device what I guess it is not the case in your display. That also made me think if button mapper or similar could run a shell command.
I need to check a bit further.

So, once again, i tried Button mapper to recognize my Button Keys but nothing will be found. I deleted all keycodes and Pressed any Button, but they wont be displayed in Button mapper.
I also have to mention that i am rooted through Hal9K, i have Magisk Manager and can give superuser for Apps (did that for Button mapper).
Thanks for searching the Internet, i tried Auto Input, but didnt had that much time So far. Seems like i have to read/watch Videos about that plugin and tasker Routines. I hope i have time for that at the weekend. But it would be awesome if it would work, cause i See a lot of opportunity in that.
Thanks for your time, maybe that will help some other Guys
Hi,
I recently bought a Eonon GA9298B and installed it in a 2010 mazda 6.
Android 8 is installed on it.
I'm trying to split screen, and I cannot do it, which I don't really anderstand, because this functionnality has been added with android 7 (I think)
I installed an app to force the option "split screen" to appear in the accessibility settings pannel
==> Is there a way to access to it without scheating with an app ?
When I do it, and try to aplit screen, it says that the application is not compatible.
I installed n app to access developper mode and force apps to resize
==> Is there a way to activate developper mode ? (7 tps on build version doesn't work)
This didn't work at all....
So, I've installed an app to launch two apps on the screen, side by side. But, when I click to "create shortcut", nothing can be adding to the desktop...
==> Do you have an idea about why is it not permitted ? How can I bypass this problem ?
Hoping I am clear enough ...
Thanks a lot
So when you long press on the 'previous apps' button at the top of the screen, nothing happens? It's the icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles (usually).

No, it doesn't do anything...
The thing is that I have no option to activate this feature in the settings.
I tried to use the Split Screen Shortcut app to be able to activate it. Then, when I long press the "previous apps" button, it says that the application does not support split screen...
I followed a video to force the support via the developer settings to force the apps to be resizable.
Here too, I had to use a developer shorcut app because I cannot find how to enable the developer settings on this device...
Note: Please don't tell us how easy it is to change launchers in default apps, that has not been possible since EMUI 9 for chinese roms, see > https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...i-9-removes-default-launcher-options-t3853441
WARNING:RECENT APPS MENU WILL STOP WORKING
All credits to Web1n on Github for figuring out this method.
Here is official guide in chinese
App download on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=web1n.stopapp&hl=zh
Steps:
(Note that this method needs to be repeated every restart)
- Install the custom launcher of your choice and ensure it is the only launcher installed other than Huawei home
- Install and setup adb on your computer
- Enable developer options on your phone
- Turn on adb debugging and adb in charge only mode
- Make sure your device is on usb charge only mode
- Install the app from link above
(note i am using a Samsung for screenshots as I don't want to mess up my main Huawei, but I got it working there through the same steps)

Tap right and you will be greeted with this home screen, tap the plus arrow

Tap second tab to look for system apps, find the app huawei home

Return to this screen, you will see the Huawei home icon, ensure it is greyed out, tap it if it is not so.
Done! Gesture navigation will no longer work but an app like fluid gestures work well enough, enable 3 button navigation in options and tap home to enjoy your new launcher. Your multotasking button has also just become useless...
Again, all credits goes to the developer

unfortunately yes, huawei even went to the step of removing old vertical overview menu so that the only overview menu in these buklds comes from the launcher
Recent apps stopped working for me when I updated to EMUI 10 then downgraded because of this and now it works on EMUI 9. Thanks for this, was going mad for 3 days because I couldn't disable the stock launcher even though my phone is rooted.
For those now missing Recents : Swiftly is a circular gesture activated app launcher with its own Recents :laugh:
I now have "Tap for Recents"
You can place Swiftly with a surface area (over where the middle icon would be on the dock) for activation on the bottom center. You can then tap or tap-hold for recents.
Make sure the middle position there on the dock is empty, so it doesn't have an app icon or folder. Make the rectangle big enough to activate Swiftly, but small enough not to overlap with selecting the input field of WhatsApp, Messenger, ...
In my Nova 5T I also lost swipe up for home (anyone else?) When I uninstalled the default launcher. So I use Fluid Natural Gestures for all of the bottom to swipe up for home.
The two overlay areas of these apps overlap but for me don't interfere with each other. You can also enable "immediate activation" in both for nice swift operation.
(I could choose between Nova and Default Launcher in Emui 10, I'm in Europe. But removed default because regularly it would switch back to Default Launcher)
Update: has stopped working
Feel free to still try as it seems to be different builds for everybody

Guys...i've done....but not with this method....
