A nice complement to Track Pad Wake

This is not my app, but it's a great find and I just thought I would share
Screen Off and Lock
Let's you lock the screen (turn it off) via a long press of the search button. Although there is NO widget, the app icon can be placed onto the home screen or a dock and essentially does the same exact thing.
So far it's working wonders for me, and is an awesome combination with Track Pad Wake.
If you like the app be sure to give it 5 stars and if your feeling generous buy the donate version. Links are provided below if your interested
NOTE: **Before you can UNINSTALL this app, please go to "Setting > Location and Security > Select device administrators" and then uncheck "Screen Off and Lock"**

Sounds good! Will try it out...

Like the voice commands more than something like this. Can't have another program taking over my long press on the search button. Plus a long press takes as much time as just hitting the power button on top.

I've been using this app for a few months now, and I have to say it's a great compliment to the trackpad. No longer do I have to rely solely on the power button to lock the phone. I actually configured the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets to run this screen lock application, so I don't have to have another shortcut on my home screen. It's simply hidden within the BW clock.
PS - Shouldn't this thread be in the apps/themes section?

Ipad-like mutlitask gestures on lg optimus one

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.

This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.

it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

Or is there something that I'm missing in settings that will turn off lock screen notifications? Thanks to anyone that can assist with this.. :thumbup::beer:

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Is Full Screen Possible?

Please be kind and use easy words. I'm a noob!
I would like to ask if it is possible for the S8 to have a full screen all the time? Without the nav bars. I know they disappear with You Tube and some other apps, but can it be done as a standard setting.
I don't mind playing with settings and trying things, as long as I can use simple terms.
Thanks in advance.

Apparently there is a way.

Maybe easier with this app (I did not try)

This app will do the job too selecting "Fullscreen for current app". Then you can use Bixby button to enable / disable full screen.

This full screen is not the same as the ADB version. That fully resizes the apps. The app version just removes the status bar and nav and leaves a blank black area in most apps.

Yes, the ADB version is the truest form of full screen. Really liking it. My one gripe with on-screen buttons was that they made the actual usable screen space smaller. This way we get to maximize the entire display. Love being able to tweak our phones to our personal likes. Something much easier to do with Android, even non-rooted android, than IOS.

This is awesome but it should have been already included as a feature.

It is with some apps, you have to press the open apps button on the screen and if you can view that app in full screen you press on the green circle in the upper right hand side of the screen.

Delay after full screen android 10 gesture animations

Do you guys experience this? Using android 10 full screen gestures. After I close an app and immediately try to open another app or do a swipe or any other action while the animation is still ongoing it requires another tap because the first tap is not registered.
With on screen navigation buttons everything is instant even while the exit animation is ongoing.

Nope. With beta sw there were issues, but with official everything just works. You can tap another app open when closing animation still running

Maybe I have to reset..sometimes it works...sometimes I have a delay. Everything else is perfect

Yeah i have that bug too... Delay about 5 seconds.

I have some bug too like facebook ( think that was issue from facebook app ) and can't off sync volume on config bluetooth !!!

Lots of app have this bug... fking samsung
Tried Microsoft Launcher, same as Nova. Delays.
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

I will use classic button navigation until they will fix. What other bug I have found. When using gesture navigation. If I open an app from a folder, after you exit it the animation makes the app go back to folder. But when using button navigation the animation just fades out. Only happens to apps from folders.

Great response.

I have the S10 and since the Android 10 update the full screen navigation is killing me. With 9 everything worked perfectly. Note I use 3rd party launcher with fullscreen gestures and no hints. When I open anything that's full screen like YouTube, reading apps, it requires me to swipe back twice or home twice. It's madness.
