PC Quick Commands | Android 4.0+ | 1.4 BETA - Android Software Development

What is PC Quick Commands?
PC Quick Commands is a good looking, simple and open source app to send important commands to your PC. I know a handful of apps exist that offer similar functionality but I just wanted to write my own and I will be adding more functionality to it soon, while keeping it simple and free of bloat/ads and unwanted features/commands, like other apps.

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...)

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.

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.

noticed when using voltage control:
- back then i only see 200mhz,400,800 and 1.4ghz always utilized. now i can see 400mhz,700 and 1.1ghz,1.2,1.3 being utilized as well. i haven't seen this happen in previous roms from long hours of use and gaming. oh btw, governor used is still pegasusq,i/o is cfq, min 200mhz max 1.4ghz
- pop-up player now resizable. clicking on it will now just pause the video and not return to full screen like it did.
- thanks trc
- CELL STANDY REPORTING BUG FINALLY FIXED. thanks bala high roller baby baby bay
minor bug:
- settings > date and time > when you uncheck 24 hour format the settings(gear) icon on notification bar moves to the right because A.M. or P.M. large font moves the icon to the right. They need to fix this, it's kinda annoying. for me only half of the gear is seen but still clickable. for many, they can't even see the gear because it's pushed to the right.
no such problem on landscape mode.
- GPS confirmed working.
Looking for Voice command for apps? like shoot for camera? answer or reject for calls?
it's not in settings > language anymore. it's in s-voice's settings now.
it is more accurate now, like in music player when you say "previous" sometimes it understands as "pause" kinda like hearing only the "vious" that sounds like "pause". it wasn't accurate with "volume down" back then, only "volume up". now it can distinguish clearly.
BTW, you don't to enable s-voice to be able to use those voice commands. you just need to enable them in s-voice's settings.
wondering what Disable HW overlays is in settings > developer options? description is Always use GPU for screen compositing.
this could help you understand.

OP.. seriously. If you want to make a thread and have [TAGS] like there's actually info here... than you have to provide some info. Right now your more asking a question and waiting to see what people say. You need to have something of relevant info if anyone is gonna take this thread seriously. I came in here thinking I could see a cool rundown of what Jelly Bean is bringing to the table, but nah. just another, mislabled topic thread title, with no useful information. This one's easy.. just freaking google your thread title and give us a nice little sneak peak at the features packed in buttery jelly beans! ... for god sake! :crying:

your issue #3, i can relate because i had that issue right after i installed jb.
i was so excited after it succesfully installed that i went to exploring it right away.
wiping data on cwm solved that issue and i guess will do the same for the rest of those issues.

[HOW TO] Use NFC to unlock your Note II directly into your favorite app

This quick tutorial will allow you to use an NFC tag to wake up your phone and launch directly into your favorite application. It will also bypass any PIN/pattern/password you have configured.
I've been trying to do this for a while and have been hunting down information/tools in XDA to try to unlock my pattern protected Note 2 and directly launch my remote app (Unified Remote) when I touch the NFC tag on the living room coffee table. The biggest challenge was to find a NFC screen-off mod that worked for the Note 2 (most were for the S3).
Tools:
Tasker (important: make sure you update to the latest version)
NFC Task Launcher
Writable NFC tags
Secure Settings (be sure to enable Device Admin)
NFC Screen Off Mod (attached), got it from here. Confirmed working for stock LJ1 and LJ3 odex rooted. WARNING: This mod might work on stock 4.1.2 but will cause annoying popups saying 'NFC Service has been stopped'.
Root (but I'm guessing if you have any of the above you're already rooted)
(optional but recommended) Titanium Backup
(optional) Unified Remote
1. Use TB to make a backup of your NFC Service apk (in case you get issues after flashing the modded one)
2. Flash the attached NFC Screen Off Mod using CMW
3. Create a task (Wake) in Tasker with the following actions:
EDIT: Make sure Tasker has 'enabled external access' option switched on in settings (Thanks SenK9)
Plugins -> Secure Settings -> Wake Device -> Screen and Keyboard lights on (30 sec or whatever you want)
Plugins -> Secure Settings -> Keyguard -> Off (this will also disable any PIN/pattern/password you have)
(optional) Misc -> Say -> "Device is awake" (or whatever you want it to say)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Prepare a writeable tag in NFC Task Launcher with the following actions:
Tasker -> Tasker Task -> Wake (or the name of your task)
(optional) Launch application -> Unified Remote (can also place this in your Task but I prefer to keep them separate since I use my task for other things as well)
[Add whatever you want to do here (launch app, play music, etc..)]
Note: Keyguard disable didn't work for me at first, so you may need to reboot your phone.
That's it! Hope this helped someone
Let me know if this works for you and if you have any recommendations or improvements I'd be happy to update the post with your suggestions.
Good work gabster21! Work well for me on stock LJ3. Followed your instructions and it worked without problem. Much better than the Samsung TecTiles app that I've been using.
Glad to hear it worked!
On a similar note I just finished automating my phone to start my favorite playlist on my HTPC using NFC with the screen off. It involves EventGhost (with several plugins) and sending an http get command from Tasker. I can post a tutorial on that if people are interested.
Can confirm that this mod works on N7105 (deodex LJ4), thanks!
Any idea why step 3 above only unlocks the screen temporarily before it locks again? I'm using standard pattern lock.

Strange.. Keyguard Unlock didn't work for me at first either but a reboot fixed the issue. Try adding something to the task (like some sound) for debugging to see if the task is executing properly.
I personally use tasker without nfc. (probably will try nfc soon) For instance, when I get in my car and plug my phone in my aux, the phone automatically opens up Poweramp. (power amp has an option to continue playing on aux insert but not just opening the program.) Also when poweramp is running I have it disable my pattern lock.
Hey guys, just getting into some of this stuff, particularly with tasker.
Boodies, can someone conceivably set up the tasker so that the NFC tag is on the back of the cardock for my Note II and when my phone comes into contact it arms GPS and pops up poweramp as part of the same action?

You would to have 'Secure Setfings' installed (with Helper) need to setups a task with these actions:
-> Plugins -> Secure Settings -> GPS -> ON
-> App -> Launch -> Poweramp
Then call this task from NFC task launcher programmed in a tag

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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"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.

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'.
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?

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

[MOD] Enabling "Hidden" Quick Tiles

This is how to enable all the "hidden" quick tiles in the notification bar that seemed to have been disabled. Between versions of the S5 variants, several quick tiles seemed to be missing from some and enabled in others.​

Remember, I am NOT responsible for stupidity or whining if YOU do something wrong, phone explodes, etc.
The modifications need Root, SQLite Editor (or equivalent app functioning) and a brain
-----Enabling Quick Tiles-----
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db
4. Click system
5. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)
6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "MobileData" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "MobileData", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit (see attached screenshot for what it should appear as)
This works for any quick settings tiles that are present, but you MUST type in the correct name (capital letters, no spaces, semicolons all count). One mistake will not show the tile after reboot.
----> instead of "MobileData", you can also "WifiHotspot" (already enabled in miked63017 zip for Hotspot Mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727127 ). Download Booster Quick tile is also able to be added but has no function yet (see my post on updates to status towards getting this working here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582 )

Big thanks to eyecon82 for pathway and miked63017 for Hotspot Mod additions.
I am thinking that the order of the list becomes the order of the tiles, is this true for anybody else?

Yes, once you put them in order and reboot, it changes to that order. By changing again in settings (once enabled via method), they change order in .db I believe. It sticks in my settings for ordering.
Does anyone know what needs to be added for the display timeout toggle? This was a default toggle in older versions of OS.
What would be an app equivalent to SQLite Editor? Don't feel like spending $3 for a one time thing lol.

You could probably try SQLite Debugger, using "update" option for similar pathway.
For the last versions of TW that im used to one can add these to the csc feature.xml as well for enabling upon boot, but they seem to be somewhere else in this iteration, if we can find where one can add these I got flashlight made for the rom. I dont want for it to have to be an additional flash but havent had too much time to investigate

You can use sqlite Database Editor for free off the Play Store. This was how we enabled HotSpot toggle on the S4 as well.
Is it WifiHotspot or Wi-fiHotspot cause I did the first and it didn't show up. I added all 3 for the hell of it lol

Did you re-open and verify there was no spaces? A lot of sqlite apps automatically add spaces when you modify a comma seperated list. Also, there is 2 lists, one has _reset appended on the end of the key name. If all you are trying to get is the hotspot you can reflash the newest hotspotUnlocker, I have added the hotspot toggle to it.

Try aspire c9 rom..i didnt lose focus while navigating on the second screen..example, playing video on 1st screen, then navigate to other apps like file manager on the 2nd screen, the video on 1st screen does not stop nor paused..i experience that it stopped on aosp based roms.

I dont know about that..but could you test App cloner apk and give feedback..i also wonder if its work or not..
I just want the apps in splitscreen without interruptions
I installed LineageOS 14.1 on my moto G2. I like using one more app at the same time. The thing is, when I play a video, or even play a game in one screen and just tap on the other app, the game or video will pause.
An apparent workaround I found out for this is to tap on the video app or game, and without letting go use the other app, so that you interact with two apps at the same time, making Android keep both focused/active.
So I went over to Xpodes repo, and tried to look up a module that would make Android think both apps are active, I suppose even though it seems both apps are running the same timewhen in split mode, I'm afraid Android just puts an overiay on the inactive app just to look normal.
Aspire C9 ROM was suggested in this thread, but it's a Samsung-only ROm. So I'll do my research for that ROM or other for my phone. If any of you has found out a more comfortable workaround than the one I described please do let me know. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for cemmenting here. Didn't notice this was a Samsung thread, discussing the issue on Touchwiz ROMs. I just saw it above this thread title when I came back to read your reply. I wrote in here because I've been googling this issue for a solution since this Friday, but haven´t even found almost any solution but just explanations why that happens. I figured out myself the workaround I described in my previous post.

im not sure which versions of android xposed framework works smoothly with these days but i am using ultimate rom on my samsung galaxy note 3 which is kitkat 4.4.2 and skyolinhelper and its version of multi window works perfect. ive tried skyolinhelper with lollipop and i could only put about 20 apps available for opening in multi window mode with android 4.4.2 all my apps are available to open in multi window and i can open several apps and move them and use them together freely.
