[APP][ROOT] LMT Launcher v3.2

LMT is a tool for Android (tested already on multiple devices but should run on nearly all) that launches a command when perform single touch or multitouch gestures on the screen (In any app/screen/etc.). You can connect basic and advanced commands to any gesture LMT supports. In addition to the gestures you can activate a system-wide PieControl for navigation like the feature in the ICS stock browser (touch the side of the screen to activate it).

Installation
Download the latest apk, copy it to your phone and install it via file explorer. For the pie just start LMT, set actions to the different pie slices and start the TouchService. If you want to use gestures and/or ISAS first try to use the auto configuration feature. If gestures and ISAS are not working correctly afterwards, set the specified input device for your phone and for ISAS set the proper touchscreen to screen factors manually (see Troubleshooting section for details).

ISAS
The ISAS (invisible swipe areas) can be used to swipe with one finger from the sides to to center of the screen (like you would bring up the pie) to trigger actions. E.g. you could use the 3 ISAS at the bottom of the screen to trigger back, home and recents with just swipes when the navbar is hidden. Those swipes are as fast and reliable as normal button presses. In order to make the ISAS work you have to do the following setup:
activate gestures via setMode (because ISAS are being recognized via the internal gesture engine)
Configure min bbox size. Actually this is the length in pixel the swipe must be long, so that the corresponding action for the ISA is being triggered.
Configure activation area size. This is the height (for bottom/top ISAS) or the width (for left/right ISAS) of the area, where the swipe must be started in. So the lower the value, the more precise you have to start the swipe at the side of the screen
Last but not least the touchscreen to screen factors: As for some devices the touchscreen uses a different coordinate system as the screen, you have to adjust here the values for x and y. For the Nexus devices I added those values already to the OP and in later versions I'll introduce a kind of auto calibrate. But for now it is a little bit of testing...
Once the setup is complete you can assign your actions to the 12 available ISAS!
Troubleshooting
For gestures and ISAS you need to set the proper input device and for ISAS the proper touchscreen to screen factors. If your device is not on the list, you can find them out doing the following steps:
Download a terminal (e.g. terminal emulator) from the market
Enter "su" and then "getevent -p" in the terminal
Search your touchscreen device and use the given event number as input device in LMT (e.g. /dev/input/event2 -> 2)
Check the touchscreen max values for event 35/36 and divide these by your screen resolution x and y values. This will give you the touchscreen to screen factors you have to set for the ISAS.
If you still have issues please create a logcat:
Install e.g. catlog from the market
Record with catlog the following procedure:
Start LMT
Set input device to x from first procedure
Set vibration time to 777
Start the TouchService
Do the double swipe up gesture on the screen
Stop the TouchService
Send me the logcat or post it here in the thread...
FAQ
Setting key actions:
With LMT's key action you can not only send simple key presses, but also simultaneous presses, long presses and key chains. See the following examples:
"keycode" -> Just a simple key press and release
"500+keycode" or "1000+keycode" or "2000+keycode" -> press and hold the key for 100ms/600ms/1000ms and then release it
"keycode1 keycode2 keycode3" -> Execute keycode1, then keycode2, then keycode3
"keycode1,keycode2" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously
"keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously and afterwards keycode3
"2000+keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and hold keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously for 1000ms and afterwards press and release keycode3
A good example is how you can go via key presses from Chrome main screen into the bookmarks. You do it by pressing "menu", then 4 times "keypad down", then "enter". A small wait is added to the menu key (100ms), so that the chrome options menu gets time to show before going on: "582 20 20 20 20 66".
Setting the pie color:
The format is just ARGB8888 in hex (8 bit for alpha and every color). So just use #xx where xx is alpha starting from 00 to ff and add the desired color afterwards. Have a look here for different colors but keep in mind that in these examples the alpha value is missing: http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm So if you have the color "rgb(124,252,0) #7CFC00" it will be #FF7CFC00 for an opaque pie and e.g. #807CFC00 for a half transparent pie...
Adding custom icons for pie items:
To have custom icons for the pie items create the following folder structure and put your own png images into it: "/sdcard/Android/data/com.noname81.lmt/files/". The default icons have the size 60x60px but other image sizes should also work (they will be resized to the configured size). You can define custom icons for every pie item and/or for every action (LMT first tries to load the icon for the pie pos, then the custom icon for the action and will use the default action icon if no other icon is defined). To set custom pie pos icons name the png pie[0-19].png where e.g. "pie0.png" will be the icon for pie item level1, item1, shorpress and "pie1.png" will be the icon for level1, icon1, longpress. To set custom action icons just name the png [actioname].png (see command section in the OP for action names; use lowercase, e.g. back.png). Please restart the TouchService after you changed the icons, so that LMT can recreate the pie.

I'm curious to see how such an application that was designed for windows mobiles phones will run on android

APK is now uploaded to the first post. LMT v0.1 is still an alpha version and only compatible with the Evo3D. Have fun!

NICE!
i have an app similar to this that i downloaded from the market for 99 cents... called gesture launcher... does the same thing pretty much. i like using gestures to launch settings/apps... really useful

Indeed very nice. Thanx op!

But is it possible with gesture launcher to do gestures on _every_ screen in Android? Or do you have to start a "gesture overlay" first. Because with LMT you can do the gestures in every screen/app/etc. This was the main problem I had to find a solution for...

Sure can! There is a tiny little icon that I position on the right side of my screen (although you can change the location of it) that you tap. Draw the gesture, done. It stays on your screen no matter what you are doing... Even playing games. This enables you to open any app/setting at any given point without closing out of it.

Awesome! That sounds exactly like what you just posted you didnt have to do with that awesome app you downloaded. You don't need to touch a crappy little hand before making a gesture with this one.

We are after your posts.
So please inform us if a generic android version is out!

What are you trying to do?
@noname, works fine for me. just a bit uncomfortable that you need to enter the package name if you want the gesture linked to an app.
requests:
-open app liust when lining to an app
-option to link to other shortcuts, like "Folder Organizer Link":
http://www.folderorganizer.net/
But I think you alread planned stuff like this in further releases

Did you figure it out now? I noticed that after a system restart you have to start and stop the touchservice twice to make it work. After starting just do the double swipe up gesture and you should see the corresponding overlay...

Great news for LMT and Android!
I use LMT since forever on my HTC HD2. My favorite app. But I also have HTC Sensation. So:
1. When a version for other Android devices is going to be possible?
2. Can you reassign different (custom) actions for the different gestures. (start a different program with any of the gestures)
Thanks, Noname, for being so persistent and making it finally for Android. Great job pulling this off on any screen!

Just did. It doesn't work. Says "the application has stopped unexpectedly. Please, try again"...
Am I doing something wrong?

Hm, a crash is not so good... is your phone rooted? When does LMT crash? Right after the startup? Can you send me a logcat?

List of hidden S6 activities

You need to have Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 with Nova Launcher and Marshmallow.
Confirmed working on SM-G925F
So, to access hidden activities you need to add Nova Launcher widget called "Activites" then scroll down to "Settings" and select something from list. Some things won't work (they are not available, need additional permissions etc.), some of them are already available via Settings. I am not responsible if tinkering with activities do something nasty to your device!
However, there are some options that are hidden but can be very, very useful.
Hint - you can "test" specific activity by long press, there's no need to put every activity on home screen and test it that way. Also, applying settings isn't dependent on Nova Launcher, ergo you can use whatever you want after changing something.
Here's what I've found:
Settings
.DisplayScalingActivity - enables condensed view of system UI, same as on S6 Edge + or Note 5, meaning smaller icons and UI elements.
.IconBackgrounds - enables homescreen and app drawer icons background like it was in Marshmallow Beta.
.ModePreviewTablet - enables additional "Reading mode" in display options. It dims screen so I don't recommend using it on bright daylight because it can be harder to see assets on screen.
.networkconnect.NetworkManagerActivity - holy **** this one is nice. Allows you to select which app can use WiFi and mobile data. Also it allows you to select which apps can use data even after data usage warning is shown.
.RunningServices - shows running services, like in Developers Menu
.Settings$AirCmdSettingsActivity - S-Pen Air Command setting. It won't work since S6/S7 doesn't support S-Pen functionality.
.Settings$MemorySettingsActivity - Shows RAM usage options like on stock Marshmallow, at least I think. Very helpful for troubleshooting misbehaving apps or battery consumption.
.Settings$ZenModeSettingsActivity - it seems like this is Do Not Disturbed (DND) on steroids. You can add additional rules and select which events can have priority.
.UsageStatsActivity - shows usage for every app on phone. It lists app name, Last time app was used and for how long.
.wifi.WifiConfigInfo - very detailed info about configured WiFi networks.
System UI
.settings.BrightnessDialog - shows small slider for brightness
.DessertCase - old KitKat hidden animation from About
.egg.MLandActivity - hidden MM game
List will be updated with new discoveries.

Link for the widget please?
I am not able to locate it will Google search.

it´s a widget of nova launcher...just add the widget to homescreen

[ADB, no root] How to hide the navigation bar AND status bar on all apps

First of all, it's important that this mod isn't for everybody, because it hides the status bar as well, to fill the entire 18.5:9 screen with content. It looks very immersive, as if the entire front side of the phone is display, because the top bezel is about as thick as the status bar would be, and the bottom bezel is about as thick as the navigation bar would be. I don't find the status bar to contain any info that I need to view all the time, if I want to view the time, battery percentage or notifications, I'll just slide down from the top to show the status bar.
I've added the TouchWiz launcher as an exception, because even if the status bar and navigation bar are hidden, the empty area where they would be stays there. View attached screenshot 1 to see what this mod looks like in-app, and screenshot 2 to see what it looks like on the home screen.
Steps:
1.Install ADB, and open the ADB terminal. Steps to install are here: https://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
2. When you have opened the terminal and connected your phone in USB debug mode, enter this code to the terminal, and press enter:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
3. After this, you will notice, that the navigation bar and status bar will disappear on your phone on all apps. Now enter this code to the ADB terminal, to re-enable them on the TouchWiz launcher:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.sec.android.app.launcher
If you're using a third party launcher, it most probably won't need the navigation and status bar, because it will probably adapt to the changes by stretching. But if you want to show the bars on a custom launcher, just replace "com.sec.android.app.launcher" in the piece of code above with the package name of the application where you want to show the bars in.
To disable the mod, just enter this code to the ADB terminal:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Additional tip to ease navigation when the navigation bar is gone, use an app called All in one gestures, found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
You can see how I set up the app in attached screenshots 3-6, I set up the left edge swipe to act as a press of the recent apps button, and the right edge swipe to act as a press of the back button. I'm using the pressure-sensitive home button as a home button, because a hard press of the place where the home button would be acts as a press of it. Navigating with edge swipes is super easy on the S8 because the edge is very comfortable to swipe from, I find it even more intuitive than using the navigation bar to navigate. I hope that you enjoy this mod as much as I do, I've been using it for weeks now. :good:

thank you

Hi there,
i recently got my new phone - sgs8. The display format is not allways that usefull since most apps will left a black bar because they where made for 16:9 and not 18,5:9.
Anyway there is a way where it could be very useful - multiwindow.
Well its a nice function especially with that long screen. Sadly there is the Navigation bar which eats up about 0,4inc/1cm of the screen.
By now i have tried all the steps @ gadgethacks and above.
I was able to remove the Navigation bar on homescreen (where i actually don't need it to be gone - so i reactivated it for the specific launcher)
but not in multiwindow. Whatever i do, whatever launcher i use (nova,apex, standard) the white bar (not allowed yet to post link/picture) wont disappear.
Is there a way to get rid of it as well?
thx

Features request:
• Activity, quick settings, Shortcut:
1: A custom quick setting tile to Trigger Power menu(not just reboot but whole menu like what KEYCODE 26 does but long press as a tap)(I know it can be done from navigation bar but it decreases my qs tiles rows from 3 to 2 and navigation bar misbehaves with my configurations) and a Screenshot tile also.
2: Every activity Should be Available as a shortcut for Home Screen. Activity Launcher(F-droid) App does Similar.
• Backgrounds:
3: Only keep gradient/ hue and Solid Colours in BG App when offline and rest should be available at some LineageOS repository via internet to BG App when online. This will:
a) Much reduction in App size as BG app only had Wallpapers in Image Format rest all were code when i checked inside app. b) More Choice to users. c) These are just bloat for users who use their own BG collection or Gallery Images as BG.
•Calender:
4: Please Bring back Year View to the calendar app.
5: I think Calendar App is useless for people without GMS as we cannot add events to the app or we have to download an add-on(Offline Calendar) with a weak security structure, so isn't it better if it is implemented natively in the system as People with GMS would also not oppose this.
•Launcher:
6: Application Lock is useless without covering AOSP Package Manager(For non-GMS only) and system settings from QS.
•Snap:
7: RAW(DNG) support would be a game changer.
•System:
8: Option in system settings to manually change Standard Output (here, Audio)to Speaker, earpiece or audio jack(if connected).
•KeyBoard:
9: AOSP Keyboard should follow system theme(both default and Black and not dark blue) and also accent.
10: Adding Key Boarders like GBoard(not swiftkey) will be very impressive and prevent me from using GBoard as i dont like GMS.
•Calculator:
11: Orders of Magnitude converter for Calculator App.
•AudioFX:
12: Divide AudioFX into two sections, Basic and Advanced where basic is like how AudioFX is currently present and Advanced is with 10 band equalizer and L-R controller.
Questions:
Q1: What is the use of that option "Left Shortcut also Unlocks" in Lock screen preferences?
Q2: Why don't Lineage OS support all the DPI(from Low to xxx High). If yes then why do many preferences break with DPI change.
Q3: Why was the option to clear cache of all installed applications from storage section of settings removed?
Problems:
P1: Style only work for Primary User in multi user mode.
P2: Changing Accent in any user changes accent of Primary user and keep Default on rest all Users always.
P3: Navigation bar and Launcher rows and columns also get disturbed with Setting up Multi User.
• Note: Multi user in above sentences is not Work Profile or Restricted profile but a separate user from Settings>System>Multi Users.
• Setup: 270 DPI(640 as smallest width in developer Options) in primary user and default on rest(2 excluding primary) and navigation bar activated on Primary user but not on rest.
NOTE: Sorry if my Language hurt anyone especially Hardworking Creators and contributors to LOS but this was my suggestion for improvement.

Please make Pixel 3a XL an official supported device.. (Bonito)

Yes

Important one for me:
- Enable Call Recording for all countries (Why the hell do the developers even care about recording laws? Let the users decide what they want to do with their devices!)
- Provide option to automatically start call recording.
Nice to have:
- Full screen alarm clock (for swiping to snooze or terminate the alarm)
Reason for that: If someone swipes the notification away, the alarm sound continues and you have no way to terminate it except by rebooting the phone.
