Prime's old rom used to have an option to disable tap to click on the touch pad for the dock. It doesn't as of ver 1.9, I really loved this feature. Is there anyway to get it back on the newer honeycomb roms?
My dock has a button on the top of the keyboard to disable touchpad. Top row, 4th button from the left between Bluetooth and Brightness
Cheers!
PS: Re-read post and guess its not what your looking for......sorry
There is an app called "input settings" that disabled touch to click. It's floating around here somewhere. It was included with some of the transformer custom roms, and I think the rom has to support it to use it. Check the rom threads for it.
I really like the the app, however it never saved it's settings upon reboot, so you have to reactivate it every time you boot. Absolutely awesome app though.
Yea I've looked for the input settings APK with no luck. Supposidly the kernel can be compiled with support for tap to click disabled. I don't want to disable the touchpad completely, just tap to click.
Unfortunately the code that was in the kernel has been removed. Probably something to do with the new pointer/gestures options and the app no longer works.
If I find a way to disable the tap to click I see if it can be implemented.
Is this 3.2 specific, or specific to the transformer? I'll start digging and see what I can find.
Has anyone found a solution to this wth 3.2? Just picked one of these guys up and the touchpad is useless if it's not disabled since I keep bumping it with my thumbs when I hit space.

Having a strange issue with ADW.Launcher. From time to time, I will get a white dialog box in the upper right hand corner, almost like it is announcing a notification of some sort, but it's just an empty write box. I think it's triggered by me moving an icon around, but letting it "slip" and not moving it enough, but I'm not really sure. In any case, once that one dialog box appears, nothing short of a reboot will get rid of it. Moreover, I notice that the tablet will freeze up for a few moments at a time as well.
This is on a stock tablet with the Enhancement Pack. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm having it too with stock+enh pack 2. It looked as you said like a dialog box, so I tried to press anything that would usually make one - turning the wifi off seems to fix it. Don't ask me why. For now I think I'll switch back to LauncherPro until this is worked out.
This happened to me as well. I currently have adw.launcher EX 1.2.2 running on Tntlite 5.0.0
There is a launcher action called "open notifications" that is the default action associated with one of the launcher gestures -- either up swipe or down swipe (sorry, i don't have the gtab in front of me at the moment). I just made sure i changed that configuration to use a different action.
I have found that when the empty open notification window is there, weird things happen. Setup seems to not work consistently for example.
Also, I swear that I have seen this issue on previous versions of ROMs and not just tntlite 5.0.0.
I don't have a reasonable fix for this other than "don't open notifications". I did try the latest ADW Notifier but that didn't work.

I've seen this too. That's a great explanation of what it is.
Turning off that gesture makes perfect sense.
Hey bro i get this app from the market Honeybar it work great with root access.
I work with touchwiz work 100%.
Program tested MX Video Player,Dolphin Browser HD.
It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week
Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.
I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.
I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.
The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.

Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere..
Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.

I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)
FYI

I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.
It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.
On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.

Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.

Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.
There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Yes but how do you switch away from them?
That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...
I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.

what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.
you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123423
and the pro version is cheaper too...
Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.
I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.
Thanks.
Here you go!

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.
-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)
-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker
-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.
A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.
You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.
-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.
Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.
This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.
Great app. Works perfectly
Does anyone know how to disable tapping on the TF101 Dock's touchpad? I want to leave the cursor motion functionality though.
Thanks.

On your keyboard dock there is an mousepad key to turn it on/off
Excuse me for reading to fast , you want to disable tapping only.
Little bit of search and found this topic about your tapping problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1091989.html
The next link they posted an kernel specially written with an option to switch it on/off. But its for honeycomb an you have to have an rooted device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090510
Modding the control layouts may be able to fix it, but I believe that will also disable left click. See those links above.
I've looked everywhere for an answer to this, but so far to no avail. Is there a way to manually disable this Knock On feature included in the stock software? I'm running CyanogenMod 11 nightlies and it causes my phone to crash 50% of the time and gets annoying after a while. I looked through all the system files on the phone and can't even find a pointer. Be as complicated as you want with your answer. Thanks.
P.S. This is not a new problem with CM11. Did this with 10.2 as well.
On the stock software its easy !! Go to configurations > general > gesture > on/off screen (its the first option) !!
Hope i could help:good:

If your still trying to figure it out i found it after about 3 hours of searching its located in settings under display and lights just uncheck "double tap to wake"
Disable Knock on / Knock Off
Go to settings, device, display and lights, and uncheck double tap to wake. Then settings , personalization, Interface, Status bar, and uncheck double tap to sleep..
Worked for me.. Hope this helps
Thank you!
Is there a way to disable knock on during calls only? My face keeps unlocking my phone and apps are opened or settings changed. It's annoying.
Found a FIX disable Tap 2 Wake/ Knock code
Hi all, I have a LG F220K (LG Optimus GK). :silly:
And I'm running a modified version of LG G2 CM11 (currently on M6) on my mobile.
After flashing CM11 ROM I figured that the option to deactivate the Tap to wake/ Knock code feature is not available in the Settings menu itself.
The Tap wake function is something I hate as it turns on display and press buttons during calls, so somehow I was lost with all the forums having only questions yet no answers...
This is How I sorted it!!! (Sorry, I am not allowed to post images or links as a newbie)
1. Please install Kernel Tweaker from the play market (It's free).
2. Open the Kernel Tweaker, access the main menu of the app by tapping the top left hand corner.
3. Browse through to Kernel (Under Kernel Params) tap open.
4. You will see that it has two options Under Kernel Tweaks "Double Tap 2 wake" and "Sweep 2 Wake", there will be two ticked boxes.
5. Untick both boxes and exit!!!
Now you can tap on screen like no tomorrow but Tap to Wake/ Knock code is no more... :highfive:
A THANK wouldn't hurt!!!

I 'm looking for that answer too..
Me as well! I hate Knock-On as it always turns on the screen in my pocket.
I tried Kernel Tweaker but there arent any options under Kernel Tweaks for me to choose from. Im running C-Rom 7.1 which is CM based I believe.
Is there an .apk or sys file I can disable? What kind of file and what is the name of the file/code that is responsible for Knock-On?

How to disable the Knock On feature on LG devices…: https://youtu.be/gIgHPYeH6gs
Hello!
I've got a problem with my Desire.
Few days ago, my digitizer got damaged. I've got about 5mm of inactive touchscreen on the top. This makes notification bar inoperable (i have to rotate phone to open it). I want to buy new phone anyway, but I will use Desire as long as it will work.
So here's my idea to map Search button to notifications. I'm not using this button anyway.
Is there any way to do this? My phone is rooted, running on custom rom based on Android 4.2.2
Help me please!
I think exposed addition has that option. Just get the installer and u can download the module from the app.
Another option is launchers with gestures, i used go and apex, they have such option, u can set slide down for notification or double tap.
Cheers....
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Sounds interesting, gonna try this framework!
Also, I've got Apex onboard right now, but I'm afraid gestures will not work when I've got another application in foreground. Worth trying anyway.
Thanks for now!
Checked out both suggestions, and none worked well...
Apex - as I said before: Gestures aren't global - works only in main screen
Xposed Additions - there's such option in this module, but i can't see any notifications-related There's also paid version of Additions but I'm not into buying yet.
Any further ideas?
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app
Yes, u are right, should have checked before suggesting xposed addition, they dont have such feature u wanted.
Since u have xposed, you can try Gravitybox. See if they have such funtion in their keyremap. They also have option to enable nav bar and pie.
Lmt, if i remember correctly, if i click on the clock on pie, the notification bar came down.
Sorry, currently on an old rom so cant test but only able to give blind suggestions.
Thank You again. I've installed GravityBox, and partly achieved my goal - I mapped notifications to menu button. There's no option to map anything to "Search" button, but I'll try to do it another way though.
