Getting rid of action bar in CM10.1 (solved with LMT) - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may have been discussed elsewhere but I wanted to get rid of the action bar as it uses too much real estate on the screen. This is easily done in settings>system>power menu expanded desktop. However this leaves no home, back or recent apps button. In comes LMT available on xda. It has a configurable slide pie launcher which when set replaces the action bar but only appears when you slide your finger in from the side.
I don't often post but this has pleased me greatly and I wanted to share.

Would be great if you share the LMT apps / thread

New Sense 3 Lockscrren functionality

In case you have not noticed - the Sense 3.0 Lockscrren on out Sensations now has additional functionality.
To unlock the phone you drag the grey circle upwards. But you can also tap and drag one of the 4 icons (phone, mail, web, camera) and move them into the middle of the circle and you then jump right to that function.
I find that kinda neat, and of couse it opens the question - can we add custom icons / apps to this quicklauncher and if so how is this done?
Also, there seems to be a reproducible bug with the camera, at least in my phone. When I launch it likedescribed above it starts the camera app (i see the stuff the cam ispointing at in the display) but it lacksallof the control buttons. Is this hapening with your versions too or isitmaybe already fixed?
You're kidding, right?

In such a case, go to settings and change your lockscreen shortcuts

Personalize -->Lock screen-->go to the lock screen you want and choose settings - tap app icon to change shortcuts
I was laughing at this then realized I have a question about the lockscreen too! Don't wanna start a new thread. So when you have an alternate launcher, you lose the ability to access the "personalize" section of the settings, which is where you change the lockscreen icons and ****. Now, to change the lockscreen type or icons, I need to disable Launcher Pro's defaults and use the Sense launcher. I don't change it often, so no biggie. But is there a way to change the lockscreen outside of the Sense launcher?

tj - just pull down the notification bar and go to all settings - personalize is at the top then mod your lockscreen
the only settings available is the htc modified version - thats why car home is blacklisted because if you try to pull up settings it crashes - doesn't care for the HTC version

See, with Launcher Pro at least, when I hit that Personalize button it just closes settings and throws me back to the homescreen. No FC or anything, I just go to my homescreen. Can anyone with an alternate launcher confirm this behavior for me? Is it just Launcher Pro, or maybe even just my device?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
okay i see what you mean
zeam and launcher pro do the same thing if you select them to open personalize
you have to use sense to launch personalize
if you don't get prompted to choose between lpro and sense when you click personalize just clear the launcher pro defaults and next time you can choose sense. shouldnt make that big of a deal since sense will just get dropped once youre back in launcher pro
I have the camera bug also...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
from what i can pull out of the OP's message, I think he was saying a bug where the lock screen will show the icons and background but also be displaying the image from the camera.
I first noticed this when I was using Barcode Scanner, left the app running, locked the phone, and then hit the unlock button. the normal lock screen would appear faded and then the live camera image. pretty cool looking i think
I can reproduce this
Almost got it with anycut - create a shortcut by long pressing the screen from whatever launcher you want then choose activity - scroll down and choose the second personalize listed - there should be three. the lock screen settings are there and load fine without crashing only problem is that your lockscreen will change to a theme but the icons on the lockscreen don't switch. I think if you tried out all thet settings options in anycut you could do it.

Well theme Chooser came out and it would be nice to be able to change features (icons,text color, etc) and be able to save them within Android itself and choose accordingly in the theme Chooser instead of a bunch of XML edits and apk edits

I want to see less threads about jelly bean wishlists.
For me, its 3G video calling and more refined UI
Options to customise the menu bar at the bottom. So always have the home button, but choose if back button, app list visible. Want the touchwiz screenshot button? Hold the menu bar, select the 'mini widget' and drop it there. Want the touchwiz popup app menu? Hold and select.
Want a mini widget that always shows if there's a new email and count? Choose if you want that notification to pop up in the usual notification area, or if a fixed point on the menu bar (tool bar?).
The popup settings bar, with the clock/notifications. Allow that to be customised too. Choose if you want it drag down from the top, pop up from the bottom and how (kinda built in Cyanogen features), and again, if you want mini-widgets on that to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth. The stuff that's there, but not standardised. Then, if Samsung/HTC want to customise their phones/tablets, it's just those mini-widgets they default to, to get the look they want. If you don't like it, you remove them and use standard halo theme. (or select more featured ones from the play store).
So if you want a really clean look, you can hide all those buttons, and use gestures (press and hold the menu bar, show the possible widgets, with settings per widget on which gesture to activate).
-rotatable home/lockscreen
-very fast screen orientation
-changeable color themes
-customizable lockscreen and notification bar
-more visual (transition)effects

I would love if the virtual soft buttons could be changed around too for handsets that Have them.
A longshot and probably not possible very easily but Uncompressed Images or at the very least, Lossless ones from any device cameras.
And on devices that have one, Configurable alerts for the on-board notification LED if I remember right way way back when my old Epix running winmo 6.x was able to do this.

Best alternative to on-screen buttons?

What is the best alternative to the on-screen buttons out there today? Pie Control sounds okay but not as quick and intuitive as I'd like. Is there anything else that's similar to what the Palm Pre used to do? Example...swipe up from bottom to go home, swipe up and down or up and right for recent apps, and some type of swipe left or up and left to activate Back.
I use Nova Prime and it has gesture features built it. You can install the free version to check out what options are in there.
How about something outside of a specific launcher? Standalone would be preferred so it could work with anything. Is there anything that offers bottom swipes for home/recents and a side swipe for Back?
Swipe home button is the closest I have found
Check out lmt launcher. Its not a launcher in the traditional sense. Its system wide and has pie and gesture control.

This disabled the hardware buttons on the N4: add `qemu.hw.mainkeys=1` in system/build.prop/. Guess it will also work on the N5. Use LMT Launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 or Pie Control on Google Play for navigation, link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol.
Thanks, LMT Launcher with its invisible swipe areas looks to be exactly what I was looking for, I'd rather activate this stuff with an edge swipe instead of using the PIE controls. Gestures might work as well on a larger screen. Can anyone speak to how well the invisible swipe areas work, and if this app works on 10" tablets like the Nexus 10?
Reading around it seems like LMT might not work on Nexus 10. Any options that do? Primarily interested in swiping up from the bottom of the screen to trigger home/recents similar to Palm Pre, as opposed to PIE controls.

Activity transition action bar flicker

I've just added those new fancy animations and they go outside of app window and draw over navigation bar, action bar, status bar, causing annoying flicker.
I'm animating two card views using arc motion.
Is expected behaviour?

Lollipop Full Screen?

Xposed is still not supporting lollipop yet, gravity box doesn't work. Pie is not supporting L either.
I have been spoiled by pie and full screen. Any current alternative solution? Thanks!

I've install but dont find how to hide the original navbar ? Thx
solution
Been trying to figure this out recently myself.
The below 2 apps have worked for me. Must be rooted though.
I have a htc one m8.
1. Softkey enabler by Fate Development Group (disable softkeys)
2. Pie control by Coolace (run at startup)
Only side affect I see is I cant seem to have a pin security lock anymore. Pattern works though.
Im looking for fullscreen aswell, full immersive mode causes issues with the keyboard on lollipop, i think the issue is the navbar but i can disable the navbar but cannot get the status bar to act immersive on its own. I can use GMD to get full immersive but causes issues with the keyboard due to the immersive navbar. Is there an app that makes only the status bar immersive or a way to edit an .apk to disable navbar immersive whilst keeping status bar immersive?
You can get near with nova prime. It dumps the top bar and makes bottom transparent
Look here.
