On Screen Soft key buttons on Stock Samsung Rom

So I made a mod to enable the on screen soft key nav to cm 10.
Someone found out if you add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the build prop you will get on screen nav like the galaxy nexus.
well for ****s and giggles I tried adding this line to a samsung based rom (LG8) and it worked! I guess samsung did not disable this functionality. I was pretty sure I read this couldnt be done on a stock samsung rom

Good find! Working fine on stock LG8 here, too. Shame it borks up the Touchwiz dock, heh.

I use nova launcher
I also noticed that once you enable it a long press of the physical home button (or softkey button) now brings up search instead of recents/task manager

Also, Settings > Display > Touch key light duration : Always off
It would be nice to disable the hardware buttons. (Or swap them ... which would be my dream!)

open up Generic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
put a hash tag in front of the lines
key 139 menu
key 158 back
so they will look like
#key 139 menu
#key 158 back
save and reboot.
To re enable just edit the file again and remove the comment (hash tag)

Using Phone Logs/Favourites/Camera is slightly hindered, the menu bar moves over the actual app screen. I'm wondering if the CM10 version does that?

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. Some quirks in the UI because of it. And no, it doesnt do that on CM 10.

This is good, but half works.
Android system dies not recognize the lack of a menu button and therefore applications do not show the menu key (usually three dots) making many apps unusable

It's a TouchWiz problem. Doesn't happen in other launchers. Maybe someone with touchwiz/dev experience could make a mod...

it did for me. When I disabled both cap buttons and if there was an app that doesnt implement the new standard menu within the app, a menu button was placed on my NAV bar on the left..
I saw your reply in your thread about it half working when you map it to APP_Switch and that makes sense because the button is not disabled, just remapped so TW must still think there is a menu button but if you completely disable the cap buttons then the system does recognize there is no menu key
So you're half working comment in this thread doesnt apply. It does work if you completely disable both buttons not remap the menu button.

As for the UI querks someone will have to play around with it to see if they can get the overlapping stuff fixed. I'm using Nova launcher prime and I saw a weird glitch in the call log section where things didnt resize properly because of the menu key being placed at top

Yes yes!
Remmaping unfortunately won't work because ofwhat you said.
With disabled cap buttons and enabled on screen buttons, everything works well!
Just had to switch to Nova launcher.
Thank you so much

Can you run the Camera and make a screenshot of how it looks? On mine, camera interface doesn't adjust itself and the shutter button is almost unpressable.

Yeah it seems to jack up the formatting of the screens on TW apps. I reverted back for now but I'm sure it would look the same as yours. It doesnt seem like the TW apps resize themselves... but now I'm thinking.... hmmm I know an issue with lowering the lcd density will cause TW apps to get jacked up in a similar way, I wonder if they would look right if you lowered the lcd density while the soft keys are enabled. try lowering it to like 240 and see how the TW apps look I would try it now but I have to finish studying for an exam I have in a couple hours.

My camera is not working as well.
So as of now, we have touchwiz, call log, camera, are really buggy with this mod

ok, I tested lowering the DPI to 240 it did fix the call log and a couple other screens where there was overlapping, with the lower dpi the camera buttons you can use although dont look too pretty, and the dialer keypad being smaller due to the lower dpi is there. I will keep playing around with stuff tonight to see if I can get it to look right with the mod.

Check out the first few posts, they say how to turn light off Settings/Display/Touch Key Lights or something and also say how to actually disable them if you want.

XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware Change Log

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

I want to flash this firmware, but can it be rooted?

Since I've rooted my Camera with Exynos Abuse, it says it is non-standard and refuses to tell me about any updates. Do I need to back out everything before it will notice the update? Does the abuse hole still exist after the update?

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.

Is French language included in this firmware ?
Thx

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.

Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...

I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed

There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

He is talking about the max available RAM on the device that is usable.
I don't have the galaxy camera, but the RAM amount can indeed change (The S3 had 7xxMB with ICS and now has 8XXMB in JB)

Ah, OK. In that case the total I have is 755Mb since the update.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I have 780MB with the ATT stock rom. I will update later to 4.1.2 and see if it changes.

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Note 3 LMT/PIE Discussuon

Any questions, tips, etc? Let's talk here.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!

Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37823525&postcount=3328
maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.

Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching

To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it

Version 1.0 - February 14th 2014
Initial release

Have you ever heard of Salling Clicker? Was an app back in the day before smart phones that worked via Bluetooth to control your Mac from your phone as well as some other neat little scripts. I would love to see something like that for android and it appears you're already part of the way there!

I see.. but I don't want to make a "Control your PC" alternative. The aim is to enable the user to send important commands remotely, using an available internet connection. That is why I have kept the list simple. I don't want to overwhelm the user with crapload of commands and I want to keep things simple and straightforward. If the user wants to control his entire keyboard or mouse or other stuff then there are apps available for that. There's an option in my app to send a custom command (working on it) using which you can send anything, from mouse location coordinates to media control commands like play and pause. It'll be live in next version

Gotcha, and makes sense. I just miss the text notifications, and mainly music controls, which involved fading out and pausing music when a phone call came in, and restarting and fading in when the call ended.

Might consider adding an option to enable that feature via an IAP after app reaches stable state

Maybe you could use some ideas from Unified Remote? It has "touchpad", keyboard, and basic multimedia functions as well.

Awesome work! Thought about linux support?

Thanx , working great ( Winodws 8.1 )

Would it be possible to add an option to turn the computer on? I use PcAutoWaker to do this right now but it doesnt allow me to turn it off. It would be cool to have one app do it all.

Nice job. Multimedia commands (vol+ vol- play stop next) would be great.

And a cursor would be nice. Check this app, it has nice and simple controls: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cafbit.valence
Tap = Click
Double Tap = Right Click
Two finger slide = scroll
Keyboard plus Modification Buttons (STRG, SHIFT, ALT) plus special keys (ESC, TAB...)

Yes, I'll start the work when both apps become stable.

It is certainly possible, I'll look into this after my exams

I think you should add a feature of "booting on start" for the desktop PC client, as it is really annoying to launch it manually every time. Thanks bro!

I don't want to replicate touchpad and keyboard functionality, I just want to make it easy for people to send important commands! My plan now is to add more commands and also make the commands more powerful, like instead of only running Chrome, you could specify the URL to open or enable users to execute multiple commands and more.

And maybe a widget to quickly select an action?

Working on it. For now, you can create a shortcut of the app and set it to run on startup by moving the shortcut to the Startup folder. There are other ways to make it start on startup as well.

That'll be very helpful, will be doing that once app becomes stable.

Anyone have a working .some Google Phone Dialer ?

I prefer the stock Google Phone dialer over all others. I tried to install several different .APK from the website with all the Google Phone downloads. But none of them would install or work.

I've been running Google Dialer with LG G6 for a couple of weeks... here's what I did...
1. Install the APK from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
2. After installation, go into Settings, General, Phone Management, Apps.
3. Click the three dots menu and select Configure Apps.
4. Select Phone App, and change that over to the Phone with the blue background (the alternative is LG's Contacts) and click OK.
5. Click on the Special Access at the bottom of that screen. Select Modify System Settings and find the Phone app. Grant it rights to modify system settings.
6. I like to explicitly grant the phone app permissions now, rather than waiting for it later. So I granted all permissions up-front. Back out to the Apps screen and find the Phone app. Click permissions and flip the slider to the right to enable all permissions.
7. Launch the phone app and sign-in to your google account.
You may want to swap out the phone on the lock-screen and launcher as well...

I have not been able to swap out the phone shortcut on the lockscreen unfortunately. It seems the stock phone app is a default that can't be changed.
Thanks for the guide by the way. The stock phone app was aweful. Any way to get the Google contacts app too?

I installed google contact from APKMirror and it works like a charm…
I tried the same with google dialier, but it disappeared after being called once ! Will try again.

I have the APKMirror install of Google Dialer working just fine. Didn't run into the issue with dialer disappearing. However, I installed the Dialer from the XDA Forum that I referred to in a previous post.

I was able to swap out the phone by going to Settings, Display, Lock Screen, Shortcuts. From there tap on the phone icon (defaults to the far left) and an app list pops up. You need to select the "Phone" app with the blue icon - the green one is the LG-native phone app.

Thanks for the quick guide , it worked great. Finding it slightly sluggish for some reason though
The lock screen shortcut option only appears if you disable screen pin/fingerprint

Thanks, works great!

I am unable to change that default phone shortcut on the lockscreen no matter what I do.

I've always used Google Dialer v3.xxxx rc4 (forget the exact version but it's 3.something rc4), which is the latest version that is able to properly look up phone numbers of places by name on all my non-Nexus/Pixel devices

I just deleted them from the lock screen. Never use them anyway. Double press volume down opens the camera.

Hey Gewecht what colour is your in call back ground? I have a LG G6 I get a quick flash of the nice Google blue then it turns a not so nice Turquoise green.
I tried the work around in the Google Dialer main post but no luck as the G6 has no option to change the sim back ground colour. I'm guessing the only way is to disable the stock phone app which the option is greyed out!!
Cheers.

How do I make it so when I receive a call on my lock screen the blue color fills the top notification area and the navigation area at the bottom? See screenshot.

You go to the Settings app, go to Display settings, tap on App Scaling, find the app (it would be in 16:7.9 aspect ration) and tap it, and thusly make it a forced 18:9 aspect ratio. After this, your application should be formatted to support the LG G6's 18:9 display. Trust me, I had to do this with Lawnchair Launcher and a Pixel 2 Launcher (mod) in order to get it to all fit. I hope this helps you ??.
