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.

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

Hello, I think I'm gonna buy an s4 but there's one thing that bothers me. It seems like there's no fast way to multitask. Just like the previous galaxy phones you have to hold down the home button to get to the recent app list. I find this painfully slow. Any suggestions for faster multitasking?
You find that slow??
Ever heard of Multi-View?

The S4 uses the home button to multi task so it isn't as fast as the nexus 4 ( for the menu to appear) but its still fast enough. But if it bothers you than I would suggest a phone without a home button and on screen buttons.
Use a launcher, like Nova. The default gesture to bring up recent apps is to pinch zoom.
Problem solved.
There is also an app which provides the recent button as an on screen button and remains on screen at all times. You can move it around like a chat head.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk HD
Yes I find it slow. Usually I just want to copy paste something or remember something and it takes two seconds to switch back and two seconds to switch forward. Four seconds is a long time these days.
Regarding the Nova launcher, gestures don't work inside apps right?
Samsung should allow customized buttons. I would love to change the menu to multitask.
You should get a HTC One with no home button and a recent apps button. I'm sure you'll love that.

yeah but at least it has double click to multitask which is way faster than a two-second lag.
Thanks for the link to the recent apps floating app. I'm not sure that it is worth it since it will be annoying to have in on the screen all the time...
What about the gestures in alternative launchers (nova). Does that work inside apps?

I agree with you on that point. I was just pointing out incorrect information so others reading don't think it actually has the dedicated multitasking button.

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.

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.

Just got a software update on my S8+ for TMO and it did in fact kill the Bixby button remapping.
Just got my GS8+ on Verizon, remapping worked like a pro.
Not sure the button remap is worth disabling Samsung updates this early, though.

So if I understand right, I can install the 'T-Mobile update service' that I've been avoiding do so that I don't lose the bixby remap now?
Is it worth installing the update?

Yeah I'd recommend updating. I'm on the latest and BixBye still works. Course I always keep my phones updated as much as possible, even when the updates don't provide noticeable things, they usually do a lot under the hood. Plus it's always good to get security updates.
It's June, is this still working?
BixBye works for a day for me then stops working.
Can someone how already purchased Galaxy S8 unbranded version within Europe can tell us if it is possible to remapping Bixby button with the below app even with the latest software upgrade from Samsung that rolling out these days gradually to all across Europe.
