Mate 8 pressure sensing - Mate 8 General

Hi
I just found this activity while checking
this app QuickShortcutMaker.
Application: Settings
Activity: Pressure sensing
Package/Class: com.android.settings/com.android.settings.pressure.PressureResponseSettingsActivity
How can we benfit from this?
Bye

Here is a screen shot

is it working or just useless function enable !!

I think that's just some old code from the Mate S Emui which they weren't bothered about removing

I slid the slider to the left and I swear it now takes less effort to press onscreen buttons.

Yes, for fun's sake :good:

I think it's some thing leftover from the Mate S

Oh well, despite glove mode on I had a few touch screen registration issues here and there, caused I assume, by tempered glass screen protection, and I'm 75% positive it's way better and snappy now.
Menu has other hidden but undoubtedly working features, why this one wouldn't ?
Thanks for this !

I can't find the settings for the pressure sensing. I feel that my touchscreen is not as sensitive as other phone. Would really appreciate if this method works

Use an app that can open activities. As for me I used that good ol' lmt pie. Pressure settings can be found there at the very bottom of the endless parameters activity list.

Nope.
You can also use Nova launcher. Way better than the stock launcher as well. Win-win :good:

Does this work?

S-pen near screen as mouse-over effect

Maybe this is old news to many, but I just discovered that when the s-pen is near the screen (but not touching), there's a mouse-over effect. Cool!!

Yes old.
There's an option to activate a graphical pointer while over it

It is. Very useful in the browser, too.
For me I don't like the pointer option(in papyrus app for exemple) , to remove it :
\system\usr\idc\sec_e-pen.idc
Enable touch.deviceType = pointer
Disable touch.deviceType = touchScreen
Reboot after change

I'd assume that this will not work that well with a screen protector over it?

This effect is somewhat similar to Xperia Sola the floating touch thing. Developers should take this effect even forward and try make scrolling possible while hovering over the screen with the stylus button pressed it'll be awesome

I found it very useful for S Memo and other painting apps. I discover this option even when first ICS leak comes out.
+1 for the scroll option
In ics there an option to show pointer even for touch with fingers, its in developers option section in settings,

A new IDEA......

Hi guys...
I dont know how many of you are annoyed with the way u ''multi task'' or bring ''recent apps'' in S3.. im certainly...
I feel ''pressing and Holding the home button'' for a while makes me think its a lllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnggggg time... so being lazy & impatient i came up with an idea....
:good: why cant Samsung or Someone could use the gesture "SWIPE UP FROM THE ""BOTTOM EDGE"" OF THE DISPLAY" to bring up the recent apps screen? Just like the way we bring down the notification bar from TOP EDGE of the display
Logically I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 on the screen to enable this gesture
We all know there is enough gap between the HOME BUTTON and the BOTTOM EDGE of the display?
Kindly say what do you think about this ? A request to Senior Members of the forum to make this idea reach the Samsung Engineers please.. Thank you
Can't be implemented until there is some hardware change.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
When the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update hits soon, that gesture will activate Google Now.
hm.why dont implement it with gestures+siyah kernel (link)
but instead of swiping above the hardware button,swipe on the bottom of the screen to up.

I set that gesture on nova launcher prime. If I Swype up from the app drawer icon it opens recent apps so I don't have to press the home button to see recent apps!
Hope it helps!

He's looking for gestures on the small area between screen and the hardware home key. That's not possible because the screen doesn't have touch sensitivity there.

I think is verry possible considering swiping from very top downwards on any app in the sgs3 brings down notifications.

You will not need Samsung engineers for this. If it attracts any kernel developer here then that's all you need. Try gokhan or Franco.

If you use Nova launcher prime you can set up gestures. I just tested it I set a two finger swipe up to show recent apps and it works like a charm
Edit not sure it works when any app has the focus but it does work when on the homescreen

I use nova and set recent apps to double tap

[Q] Note 4 Tap to Wake

Hi,
I'm considering picking up the new Note 4, but this seemingly trivial feature is something I've grown to love on my Xperia and LG devices. Does the Note 4 have a double tap to wake feature implemented? Thanks!
There isn't any need for double tap to wake on Samsung devices as there is a physical home button.
This is a big one for me. The double tap to wake or close on the LG G3 has become one of my favorite features.
Regardless or not of there is a home button it would be nice to see this.
It does not.

It does not have double tap but it does have an air gesture where you move your hand over the IR sensor and it will wake your phone.

wow that's awesome. from the GSM arena review, they stated that the IR functions were taken out, so no more air gestures. weird.

Try Nova Launcher with Screen of and lock found in the playstore. Enable the app and set as double tap in gesture. Give it a try, might work.

it wakes the device, but it doesn't unlock it.
As I remember, on HTC (One M8, I think), you just need to make a gesture on the screen and it wakes up & unlocks the device.
Is it correct?

It should be in Motions And Gestures if it has this function, but it's not there at all...
I have not tried it, but this article seems to suggest "knock on" should be possible on any rooted android phone. As others said, "knock off" is easy enough to set up with Nova.

Have you looked under accessibility? For some reason I remember reading somewhere that that is where the air gesture to wake is located.

Pretty useful feature when you have kids. It's disappeared from OOS on the OP5 and latest open betas for the 3/3T.

Is "screen pinning" still an option? I find that most useful to lock a user into a single app.
