[Q]Full Screen app for playing Games?

Hello, is there an app for Transformer Android H.3.1 that allow us to play games in full screen? I installed Assassins Creed and it stays in left lower corner and the touch screen is decalibrated (about 5 cm high I must push to press a menu button)

[Q] 3D Button expanded functionality mod request

Not allowed to post in the developer section yet or I would've requested it to be added to the CameraMOD 3D posted by ErosizeD.
My biggest problem with the O3D is that the screen constantly switches off, your in the middle of doing something, or even just answer a call and instead of the in-call screen it will just swich off disabling the capacitive buttons. The only way to get it to come back on is to fiddle around trying to find the lock/on/off key....
I've requested this in the LG forum but doubt they listen to their customers. Hence, it would be great if one of the developers on xda could do a mod for the 3D button, making it smarter by incorporating the following functionality:
1. With the screen off, a single press of the button switches the screen on.
2. With the screen locked and on or off, keeping the button depressed for 3 to 4 seconds unlocks the screen and also switches it on if it was already off.
3. With the screen on and unlocked, it functions as it does now, as in launching the ‘3D Space’ app and if pressed whilst viewing 3D pictures, it switches between 2D and 3D view.
4. If the button is pressed whilst watching a video it works the same way as the Samsung i8910 whereby keeping the video playing with the screen ON but disabling the capacitive icons and the touch screen sensors/input (very useful for children). Holding the button down again would re-enable the touch screen.
5. If the button is pressed whilst the camera is on, it acts as the capture button to take pictures or start/stop video recording.
It does not need it to lock and switch off the screen as the current on/off button is fine for that purpose. It would also be very useful if pressing either of the volume buttons when the screen is OFF, simply switches the screen on!
Hope this is possible and thanks for reading this request.

If anyone else would like to have similar functionality added to the 3D button please feel free to add any suggestions/changes.
Thanks.

Just wanted to say...
I only agree about #5 on your list. The 3D key is indeed in the perfect position for taking pictures.
However, I don't agree with the other 4 points on your list.
#1, pressing the 3D button to unlock the phone is actually a much worse idea than the lock/unlock button. I don't know how you hold your phone, but I've just tried it out. With the way you normally hold your phone, the lock/unlock button is in a very nice place to lock the phone. A better place would be the volume up button. The 3D button... well unless you use phone on left hand a lot and press with pinky or you press with your palm on right hand, its a very bad place to put an unlock button.
#2 I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you mean holding it for 3 or 4 seconds and then it'll unlock screen and turn it on? If you unlock the screen the phone is already on. If your phone is off, then the screen can't unlock.
#3 I don't have anything to say about this becuase this is exactly how the 3D button works right now.
#4 I believe this is a useless attempt to stuff too much into one button. Just know that to make this feature work, you dont' make any changes to the button rather you got to make changes to the video player. And it'll only work for that video player. For example, we mod the stock Video Player, it works perfectly.. the way you suggested. Then you download a flv video and it won't play. You download MoboPlayer and it plays perfectly. You hold down the 3D button and it launches 3D space. Personally, I would suggest just downloading MoboPlayer because if you're watching something, you can press Settings button to disable all inputs.
5. Like I said, I would appreciate if the 3D button became a Camera button during camera apps. But this would only be for the stock camera app, which would mean modding the camera app to make this work. Personally, I would prefer pressing anywhere on the screen to take a picture as opposed to using the 3D button as a shutter button, but then...that's just my preference.

I don't know, but I want to wake up my screen with any of buttons like MENU/HOME/BACK/SEARCH

i would LOVE the 3d button to also be the shutter button.
the fact that it's not by default is pretty idiotic if you ask me.

so there is a way to make photo with the 3d button on Optimus 3d?!?!?
Plssss is so important for me....

if those mod can be applied (pls for someone here to make it real...), just gonna make this HH way much better....

I could think of creating something that does those features. But like other ppl said, everyone doesn't want all of those features, that's why we'll need an app that could let ppl choose the exact actions they want for the 3D button because seriously, how unimportant isn't the button really? A button that says "3D" is completely wasted and that's why something should be done, letting ppl choose the actions for their buttons, lol.
I'm new to LG Development but it's definitely not impossible by just an app, would required root though. I'll look further in too it when I got some spare time.

I for one would definitely love such an app! But the one function I really care about, that's switching the screen on with another button, different from the power key. I would even go for switching the screen on with the volume rocker if that idea isn't too bad! Hope you can really do something about it

1&2 - I don't really see the point in 3d camera screen on. Its not as if the power button is hard to press (Compared to other smart phones at least)
3 - I would prefer if the 3d button launched the Camera. There's pretty much no point in opening 3d space, besides showing off. Editing the \system\usr\keylayout\omap-keypad.kl from
Code:
key 249 3D_MODE
to
Code:
key 249 CAMERA
disables all other functions of the button, such as taking photos, 3d switching etc.
4 - This would be somewhat useful, but probably difficult as it would have to be coded into the stock video player, which i don't use since it seems to lag while playing some video formats.
5.The 3d button already takes photos with Stock GB ROMs.

what do u want this one button to do everything... Get over it long press = 3d menu and in camera mode on 2.3.3 it takes pics i say that is more then enough... I don't want it to turn my screen on etc.. I have other perfectly working buttons to do that...

I'm using ThiaZO3D on my LG Thrill with v18a baseband and the 3D button is great! pressing it now won't immediately launch the 3D launcher, you must hold it down. While in the camera app, you can press the 3D button to take a picture or start recording a video. You may even press and hold to keep the focus, then let go to take the picture. I've found that if you're in the middle of focusing it and you don't want to take a picture you can tap the screen twice or just hit the back button.
With this rom, it's perfect, no need for it to be anything else. Haven't tested with binding the 3D button as a key in N64oid or any other emulator yet, I assume it works fine as long as you don't hold the button too long.

have you try "No Lock " App? it 's work great if you dont' want the power button to be press while the screen off.

Has the ability to use google eluded you?

Yes they are different devices, but the app is the same, you just press the shield buttons instead of the buttons for whatever device they use in the youtube tutorials.

I use left stick middle click, right stick middle click, left stick middle click then I disable their function so that they don't actually do anything within my game. Those two buttons are rarely used for anything anyway even if you didn't disable the function of them.
Also, tincore doesn't seem to like the home button which makes it not function properly while tincore is up for me so I usually map the nvidia button (which tincore sees as the power button) to a home button since i don't need the nvidia button while using tincore.

Sad
Can't seem to get my shield rooted (drivers won't install properly for some massively odd reason)
I bope I can use this app soon for games. If you guys know anyone who can help point them in my direction.

I have try it many different option on the map on sequence but still can't get it to call up the tin core keymapper when I in the game.
Anyone have shield with tincore on it willing to tell which option you use so that when i game time, which button should i press to bring up the tincore keymapper?
Thanks

I set tincore to open after hitting the start button three times. I have yet to get tinecore to work though. I can map the buttons and save the profile bit it never responds in game.

I start up tincore, press the back buton until I see the option to minimize appear, then I open the emulator or game I want to play, then I use the quick keys to open tincore. Once i have set up tincore how I want I press the little check mark to enable the profile. Then when it tells you to name the profile make sure you leave that default. Don't change it from com.emulator.android....etc. Make sure you leave the profile as the default name tincore gives it.

You can set it to whatever you want in the settings in tincore. Mine is set like I said above so that it opens with left middle click, right middle click, left middle click. I can't remember what the default is.

So you open the tincore first and set the quick call up sequence and then minimized it. Then you open the game and use the quick call up to open the tincore to map the game right.
I also do it but i cant call up the tincore when in the game. Also i cant find the left or right middle click in open mapper on sequence option.
Can you create a video to show how you set it and map the game?

Ok, here is the video. Try not to fall asleep watching it. I didn't realize the video would drag out so long Didn't realize it would take so long to upload and process either...
Also, you HAVE to change the way tincore is brought up. Because the Shield doesn't use physical volume keys opening tincore using the default volume up, volume down, volume up will not work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzHmFhA3lw0&feature=youtu.be
P.S. The part of the video where I was having the issue with Tincore was because I chose to remap the nVidia key (power key) to the Home key function. The ability to do that is actually an in app purchase from that developer. You can feel free to skip that if you don't want to pay for it. The home key doesn't function properly in Tincore though so I paid for that function to make it easier on myself. I never even demonstrate that in the video so you can clearly make due without paying for that feature.

Now tincore work on my shield. Thanks for the video. :good:

Tried to get the A button to work with DH4 and Ravensword but it didn't work very well (actually not at all) so it will be a while

3D games
Any chance of a quick tutorial for playing games like Ravensword, CoD Zombies etc tried to do it but the thumbsticks go haywire and the A button still doesn't work very well.

I am really not into any games other than RPG games so I really don't have any idea how to set up any advanced features. There are a couple videos on youtube which is how I learned initially. Other than that it is trial and error. Not many people have rooted devices, using controllers and needing touch mapping and even fewer people are going to make a video. If you are having issues with movement or the camera I would suggest messing with the sensitivity settings maybe or the delay settings for the sticks. If a touch isn't registering I have no idea. All my buttons work in the two games I have played which are RPG games.
The first one will show how to set up a camera to look around in a game like Nova or I would assume modern combat or whatever.

You should not need to sideload anymore. From 2.9.8 it should be compatible.
In theory touch screen should now work out of the box (from clean installation). Could you recheck it?

out of topic but now that I see you here Tincore is amazing it just works is any way you can release a paid version with all the options unlocked like sixaxis for one price ? people can still donate for a single option but I think this will be better for a lot of users who want the full experience.

I have the same issue. It worked the first time and after I got out of the game I selected disable turbo as it was still running. Since then the turbo function wont come back when clicked in PUBG??
Anyone have an idea where in the settings the function is to re-enable?

How do I use Right Mouse Button properly on Android

I use an app called toolbox to play Minecraft with mouse and keyboard
When I go to Minecraft settings
it show place block as button 3 and when I remap it and press right mouse it shows butpn 3 again and instantly goes back.
I think that toolbox interprets right mouse as button 3 and Minecraft instantly thinks it's back
Any way to fix this by using adb?
