How to capture the HTC three finger swipe - HTC One S

It's great to see some ROM development picking up for the One S although I suspect this question would apply equally to the One X.
HTC have a 3-finger swipe gesture trap to launch the HD display accessory from any of the Sense Home screens. I'm not a dev but I would have thought that there must be a way to hook into that facility and change the swipe to an app/action of the users choice. And in that case, what about capturing other home screen based gestures (two fingers, left, right, up, down etc.)
I dropped Sense 2 and 3 on my Desire for Go Launcher. Sense 4 has brought me back but I do miss the very useful swipe up and swipe down gesture settings that Go Launcher offered.
Is anybody looking into this? Anything I can do to help?

Wrong section. Maybe the mods could move this instead of locking it this time?

If you see a thread in the wrong section, just report it!

Sorry, I was looking to help get such a feature incorporated into a ROM. Hence I thought "development". No laziness intended.
Mods, please move the thread appropriately and hopefully someone will answer.

I have one problem: What of answering his question? It can also be moved with an answered question. report it and say a answer or only report it.

Please answer here. If the mods choose to move the thread to another location, they will move the whole thread - replies included.

Good question. I was thinking something along the lines like that too. Maybe even if we could some kind of gesture to open voice control etc

The three finger swipe is registered as a keypress, namely key 250 (by default allocated to the action HTC_SHARE). See system/usr/keylayout/cy8c-touchkey.kl for references.

Moved To General​
Please post in the correct section!​

Keyboard with Arrows/Cursors?

Does anybody know of a sense like keyboard that has arrows on same page as letters?
Stop posting the same post in the wrong section.
As I answered on your other thread - the SwiftKey Beta X has arrows on the bottom. You have to enable it in settings.
There's also an installable version of the HTC IME somewhere on the forums. Use the search function.

SmartKeyboard Pro has this, just enable it in General Settings>Show arrows.
Swiftkey X beta has them. It's on the market. You need to enable them in the settings.

[APP IDEA] Clear notification with one touch

I would like to suggest an app that can perform the action of clearing the notification with a single tap on it (much like how tapping on "Screen off and lock" app will do to off and lock the screen).
I often find it annoying to have some extra notification that I need to drag down the notification, only to clear it afterwards - where I may not want to click into it. For instance, I use a profile changing app (Llama) and it will notify me for any changes in profiles, but it won't go away until I clear it off. I am sure sometimes showing a notification icon is very sufficient already to notify us about something. No need to drag down notification bar to read the content and clear it later.
I know I am lazy to drag down and clear, but a single tap on homescreen to do the job is certainly much better!
Please let me know if there is existing app already.
i don't think there is much demand for such an app, since you already can slide down and press clear
but that is just what i think of it
well i would love such an app. i've also been looking for such an app for a long time but none exists. this is good for notifications that u already know about and don't need to see them so you just clear them away with a click without needing to swipe down and then press Clear.
Would it be s widget/ shortcut?

It could be either, as long as it does the job.

I too would be interested in this...
I am fairly certain this app is not possible per OS security--an app cannot clear another's notifications.

but if you have root...
I think it's how we can duplicate or mirror the Clear button somewhere else.. either via shortcut or app or widget.. and we probably need root for that..
I dont mind using the "clear" button on my Galxy W , just so long as they STAYED clear. Whenever another notification fires, I get past notification for nearly a month previous come up! - Its bloody annoying and Ithought it was a consequence of rooting, but a friend, with the same unrooted phone has exactly the same problem, so I think this may be a bug with this relatively new model - thought OTA, 2.3.6. update might have solved it but no, - still happens - anyone else have this problem ? (p.s. - have 46 notifications re-appearing at the moment!)
Has anybody found a way to do this? I too would like this functionality. I have tasker installed and thought maybe such a task could be created but I can't figure out how.
First, you revived a 1 year thread. Second, you have clear button. Why you would want an app for that?

First off, the last post was 6 months ago so I consider this a 6 month old thread not a 1 year old one. Second, revived thread = searched......something we all encourage here on xda. Third, what is the clear button you speak of? Is this a one click solution as was the point of this thread?

Yeah, the built in android notification clear button. Ob the status bar
Sent from my LT26i with Tapatalk 2
With that method you still have to open the notification bar before you can clear them.....2 steps.
The desired function is a one click solution. Like a widget you can place on your main screen you can just click to clear.
Why would this be desirable? Some of us get a lot of notifications and have very large phones. It becomes tedious to use one handed, i.e. to stretch your thumb to the top of the screen, drag the notification bar open, and click the upper corner clear button........especially when its a notification who's content we already know.
Is it a big deal? No, but there is many widgets out there that provide practically zero functionality while this one would actually do something many people could use.

+1 on this
on large screened phones like the Note, it's a major pain in the ass to reach all the way up to pull down the notification bar with 1 hand. There are workarounds such as installing Go Launcher and using the built in gestures to help pull the notification down but it's still a 2 step process to swipe down and click "Clear".
neeeedd
rly need this app....becouse i can clean all my notification whit a simple gesture in my lockscreen, no need to unloock....i cant beleave noone created this app....in google play there is so much **** and nobody creates an application so useful ... absurd ..
Resurrecting an old thread because it looks like the new "halo" feature being developed by the Paranoid Android team will have the added benefit of clearing notifications without having to stretch our fingers to the top of the screen when using the phone one-handed.

[Req]Wallpaper in Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

I had this request a while back and it seems to have died off. Basically I was wondering if the fantastic developers here can figure out a way to get the wallpaper to show on the pattern, pin, or password lockscreen. Right now it is simply black and I think it doesn't look that good. Not a huge issue but one I'm sure can be solved. Here is what seo said about the issue over at his original thread.
"pattern/sim/password unlock black background instead of yours. please don't ask . I will not f*** up the entire android.policy trying to fix "just a background". live with it"
I know this would be extremely useful to a great deal of rom developers so please take consideration. Also I don't know if this is in the right section so mods please move it if you would like. Screenshot below.
I would like this to but i believe this belongs in the themes thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I honestly think this should be in development because there is going to have to be some manipulation of system files. I believe when you are manipulating images it should be within themes. This is not a theme but more of a modification that would be extremely useful to a ton of people. Can some developer please jump on this I would def donate.
This doesn't belong in this FORUM...bla bla bla!
Good idea though...even though I don't use that pattern lockscreen.
Moved to Themes and Apps.

Please don't duplicate your threads - it makes the forum harder for people to find things. If you need a thread deleting then use the report button in a post and ask a mod for help.
Yes, or just long press on your homescreen and then choose wallpaper.

Question How to open/close notification centre with double tap home button in navigation bar customisation? Like in oxygen os.

This may be a small issue for you guys but I moved from OnePlus 6 and its killing me just because I can't do this customisation of dragging the notification bar down by double tapping the home button. I have small hands compared to the tall display of the rog 5 and I'm unable to reach the notification bar all the way up. MKBHD said this is the most ridiculous custom phone but where's my small custom. How do I place a request for this to asus? I'm helpless.
you can use swipe down in home screen for notification panel. similar to one plus.
is the double tab home button for the not center while in apps or in the home screen?
Man, some people like to complain instead of trying to learn how to use their phone. If you don't like the phone don't come and complain about it, simply sell it and move on instead of wasting others time.

i am not sure that i agree with you on this, xda forums and other communications platform were built to help people
yes the quuestion was fairly simple, however anyone has the right to ask.
also i think ROG 5 xda forums needs a mod who should create FAQs, restructure the forums, and moderate it.
if we continue like this it is going to be a mess, and hard to get something useful out of it

I'm with @m8822 on this one. This is the developer community; we defined #NeverSettle ages before OnePlus made a complete mess of that understanding. We're not here to accept what manufacturers force upon us. We don't need to learn how to use our phone, our phone needs to learn how to use us! No wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, you get the point
@Madridistas It's been a while since I've used any navigation replacements but you could give our in-house Navigation Gestures a go. I'm not sure if it provides double tap to notifications but may open another door to your goal. Only, ROG 5 is Android 11, isn't it? That probably won't work. Ah well, there's plenty others to try, like Gesture Control or Edge Gestures (or search for more). Whichever you find best, don't forget to get back here and tell us what you found working so it may help others in the future.
The forum mess is by design. Change is never easy... but it can be fun!

Wow, I am with @me on this. Everyone seems to not get the point that I was making, you have the very right to come here @xda, ask whatever questions you feel is needed to be answered, after atleast doing your part(share) of understanding the thing you have.
It's like "someone asking where are my eye glasses, when they are over his head because he forgot he put them over there at the first place and then asking everyone passing if they saw them".
The point is: "GET TO THE POINT", no need to complain about something not related to the question, at the same time do your share of investigating something.
If you look @my account, you will know I am not a newbie, I have asked and answered, created many threads helping others!. So please spare me the... "I, we have the right speech...."
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the irrelevant comment!
Edit: I might seem harsh with my response, but I don't know why when I read the post the first time it seemed like the author was complaining, so I am not sure if he edited the post, or it was my bad coming the way I did. Anyway I apologize if i did, no offense intended.

This may not be a perfect solution but... if you dont mind using a home launcher, Nova launcher has customizable gestures. You can set "double tap the home screen (not button)" to expand notifications. im coming from a 6t also and currently using Nova with the "swipe down" option to expand notifications and double tap to lock the screen.
edit: There is also an option to single tap the home button to expand the notifications while on home screen. so if you are inside an app, say google chrome, you would essentially double tap to open notifications.
1 tap takes you home.
2 taps opens notifications.
Here's how to add Android 11's double-tap gesture to any phone
An app called "Tap, Tap" adapts the shelved Android 11 double-tap gesture for use with almost any modern device running Nougat 7.0 and above.

I can do the swipe down at home in any phone but I can't do it inside an app like WhatsApp or chrome. You know how far the top is to reach with the thumb in ROG phone. I'm attaching the settings screenshot from OnePlus.

Thank you, that's very helpful but I wish I could have this same feature in the stock rom let me try nova and get back here.
