I use LMT to get Pie Controls on my LG G2 with LG G Pro 2 rom, but I can't seem to be able to link any one the pie buttons to Dual Window and Quick Memo.
Dual Window is normally set to Long Press Back, but mapping a pie button's long press to Long Press Back doesn't do anything.
Quick Memo appears in the App list when I use "open App" as the pie control option, but clicking it does nothing.
Is there a way to get these to work through pie controls? I like these functions a lot and it'd be a real bummer if I had to give them up to use pie controls.
I can access Quick Memo through my notification bar, so that's not the biggest problem... If I can somehow use Dual-Window through the notification center that would be an acceptable plan B option.
I have the same problem... Did you find a workaround?

Basically, I have managed to hide the navigation bar. I also have LMT up and running, but something still makes it a non viable option for me. Basically, a lot of apps (Dolphin Browser, Amazon App Store, etc) have a Settings button (three periods) appear on the navigation bar when in use. Is there a way to recreate this feature with LMT pie controls? Thanks in advance.

Just add a pie button for menu. I personally add it as the secondary action for my recent button. Just don't release your press after the lmt pie opens and the secondary options should pop up. You can also change the value of how long you have to hold it for in the lmt settings.

By god that was it! Thank you so much! Can't believe I missed that
Hey, I own a nexus 4 16gb, its rooted.
Anyone knows about a good navigation bar alternative ? i can make it disappear with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 thing but i couldn't find a way to replace it.
I tried the LMT pie, worked pretty well until i got into a game.. for some reason it doesn't work in games, so i just needed to reboot my phone to quit the game.
I remember that i saw somewhere someone with a navigation bar appearing in the menu of long pressing the power key. anyone know how to do that or have another good alternative for a navigation bar ? Thanks
Aokp rom has buttons in the power menu, or you could use gestures; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemo

Thanks, are there any more alternatives ?
You can try to add a ribbon to a edge of the screen.
Generally I put pie on the right side and a empty ribbon on the bottom which activate the "application window" ribbon when swiping from the bottom to the center of screen.
This option is present in many roms, including one I'm testing right now the Axiom rom.
Also, I activate Pie only in expanded desktop. You can add this action to the power menu, but I don't know how if you're on stock.
That's all I can do since I use LMT on my tablet with Pie installed too, I've never encountered problems.
Has anyone figured out how reliably to open slim recents with lmt pie? I have tried setting a button to open recent apps themselves and to trigger the home button long press action (which would be open recent apps), but they only seem to work recently after opening them with the actual home key.

Hello,
My team lead has a OnePlus two and had a question so I told him I'd find out. He's severely vision impaired and currently using a OnePlus 2 with the latest Oxygen. Something that annoys him is how the fingerprint reader works as a home button because he accidentally bumps into it all the time while using the device. He's currently got the whole thing disabled, however he'd like to use the fingerprint unlock functionality while not enabling the home button. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks
Of Course there is. Go into the button settings where on-screen nav bar is enabled. There will be an option to enable physical home button with on-screen nav bar. Disable it.
I have a Note 9 SM-N960W and have found a few different ways of doing screenshots. Method 1... Palm swipe is annoying, method 2... power + vol down is hard to time and triggers volume sliders that ruin the screenshot, and method 3... there is a screenshot option in the edge pannel and also smart select.
The Problem with all these is the edge pannel Handel always shows on the resulting image. Is there an easy way to somehow use the built in screenshot app/apk maybe through an activities manager shortcut?
Right now I'm using Button Mapper and have disabled edge pannel but would love a quick & easy way to capture the full screen, no adb, and no edge pannels or palm swipes because they are just annoying! Any helpful suggestions or ideas? I've tried all I could find.

You can try installing standalone apk NavStar (Samsung) from ApkMirror website.
Then download free app "Activity Manager" app
from Play store.
Open Activity Manager, search for NavStar, tap on NavStar and another window will open.
You will see two options.
First option, tap 3 dot menu and create shortcut for
NavStar to configure it, as NavStar
won't show in your app drawer.
NavStar is part of Samsung, Good Lock 2018 app.
However Good Lock 2018 is not available for some markets /users
With NavStar you can customize your navigation bar
to choose your own selection from options available.
You can choose "screenshot" etc.
See attached
You don't have to do any ADB /root/etc
It's a straight forward "sideload /install manually"
app.
Safe, no issues.

I use Buttonmapper to set "single tap" volume down for screen shots. Works perfect..
I use an app called "Softkey Edge App". It's an app panel that you slide out from the side like other edge apps and it has several shortcut keys, screenshot is one of them.
Nice thing is, it takes the screenshot WITHOUT the edge panel, so you actually get what you want.
You can find it on the Samsung App Store.
4 option Will be " Hi! Bixby" take a screen shot
---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------
5 will be using Good lock 2018 and on the NavStar add the option for screen shot
depends if you want to save a screenshot or just share it to someone.
When sharing a screenshot (which I don't necessarily want to keep), I'll hold the home button to trigger google assistant. Then just send a screenshot from there. Nice and simple and no messing with buttons.
Hold Bixby button and say "Take screenshot" ...
Works brilliantly...
Thanks everyone, some great ideas! I decided to go with button Mapper because I don't use edge pannel, I hate the handle showing on my screenshots even though it is transparent to a certain degree. Button mapper takes the screenshot basically instantly and there are no icons or any sort of idea that an extra app is being used. The only downside is my phone is not rooted so I cannot reboot without having to run ADB Commands again, but no biggie since my phone is always on. Thanks for all the help full suggestions everyone!!!
