App runs, but the features I was most looking forward to are not working. It seems that the advanced options to show the notification after pulling out of pocket or flipping the phone over do not work.

[REQ][MOD]Non-intrusive in-call UI for stock rom -- like Omni rom

Hello guys,
I have searched xda and other sites for Non-intrusive in-call UI for nexus stock rom 4.4.2, but found no so such thing.
GravityBox with Xposed Framework can give us similar feature but with no UI.
Can any developer help us to get exactly like Omni rom that can be used in Stock Nexus 5 rom ?
It may require a different framework apk or lib which is not present in stock...
I am requesting our great developers for this feature to be available in stock rom either by in the form of any APK, or Porting some lib & recovery Zip or by Xposed framework, I am missing this great feature in stock rom...
Thanks to all our dev.
:fingers-crossed:
Nobody wants this feature in stock rom ? Is it possible to develop ?
Here's hoping something comes from this!
I do think there is an app that does this too, may want to check in the play store.
Actually there is an app called Small Call.
But it has 2 drawbacks:
- it's not "non intrusive" at all, in fact when a call is being received, the hole screen turns dark, with decline/answer buttons on bottom.
- the is a huge delay of 2-3 seconds between the moment you press decline and the actual ending of the call.
An alternative (preferably free) to this app would be much appreciated.
How about using xblast tools or gravity box for this

try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.dfki.callheads
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Use Xposed Installer and install Gravity Box. Perfectly working non-intrusive calls which in my opinion is better than the one in OmniROM.
Problem with gravity box or xblast is that those two can interfere with custom ROMs.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Gravity box doesn't have non intrusive option. Instead it keeps the call info in status bar (what they call... In background).
As fot xblast, I can't find any option regarding the call handling.
CallHeads on the other hand is exactly what I want..... But... When the screen is off and a call is being received, it doesn't turn the screen on.
But when the screen is on... It's ok.
This one is perfect from all points of views:

Thank you all for your inputs.
Except for one thing...the text when denying option.

I agree with you that , GravityBox non-intrusive option do not have any rectangular window with accept / reject call like Omni Rom.
And in Xblast , I also have not found such option.
I have used the "Call PopOut" app , But to me , the caller circle is not a bit small and I like the rectangular popup for incoming call (like omni) more that this app.
Can't somebody develop that for stock rom ?
I tried to extract only the non-intrusive code from GravityBox source code and tried to make a new xposed app but no success yet. ( I am not a Android Programmer though)
Looking for expart xda developer's help
Thanks
Oh yes, make no mistake.... The non intrusive from Omni is the best, both functionality and graphics.
But until a generous dev helps us..... We're stuck with these replacements.... Some of them very very good to.
I am also looking forward to see this feature in Xposed framework. It's simple and beautiful. Please dear devs port this feature to gravity box maybe? or diferent Xposed module.
This feature is in gravity box. Look for it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
No, gravity Box has a "non-intrusive" mode that puts the call in the status bar and notification drawer. This isn't the same as what the OP and everyone else is asking about. Omni does it differently. See picture.

I like the look, but functionality? No, sorry. Omni's isn't really "less intrusive" at all. Reason being is the entire rest of the screen becomes unresponsive until you accept the call, decline the call or wait for it to go to voicemail. Until you do one of those, you can't use the phone. The way Slim (and GB) does it, is less intrusive. It plays a ringtone and puts the call in the notification bar. The entire time, you can use the phone as normal until you decide what you want to do. Functionality goes to the latter, hands down.
Finally We Got The Feature -- Non-intrusive in-call UI POP UP
Hello Friends,
Here is one update regarding Non-intrusive in-call UI POP UP.
It can be implemented using the latest gravity box & Xposed Framework
I was waiting for this feature for a long time ....
After Developer Preview Release of Android L ...Gravity Box also adopt this feature.
(Hope you all know that Android L have feature like Non-intrusive in-call UI POP UP , like Omni ROM)

The carbonRom based dialer
I'm in stock rooted 4.4.4 and this works for me with the new gravity box update
The issue with enabling heads up is that ALL your notifications come in Heads Up now right?
What if I only want my incoming calls to perform the Omni-like unobtrusive call? The GB implementation is just dumb. The extra step of fumbling through my notification bar can mess me up in a high stress situation.

★★★★★
Addictive tips, lifehacker reviews the app as unique.
"Hilariously brilliant and effective." - Android Authority.

Oops! application locker does not use any on-screen password ie. pin based or a pattern based locking system.
We use volume key pattern as the password. You can make any pattern using volume keys, like UP UP DOWN UP.
Features
- Totally invisible.
- Most secure way to lock apps.
- Nobody even notices your app is locked.
- Simple and fun to use.
- Can lock any applications.
- The transparent screen makes as if your application is stuck (You can change it).
- Fool friends with custom backgrounds.

Maybe because this feature is checked only the first time you open the browser, try to clear its data.
Note that some of those csc features may NOT work as expected, Samsung keep adding new features but some them can be still broken, and some old ones that worked on older devices may aslo become broken (ex email black/white background).
So if any of the features did not work no need to blame the App.

Actually it is NOT possible, Samsung store all the feature as hash table of String, i still can do some inaccurate parsing and detect the type of filled ones but there is no way i can get the type of an empty csc feature, that's why i prefer to keep it open type.
great wanam, is it based on csc features found in framework2.jar?

Probably because some jurisdictions require the shutter sound and it is technically "illegal" to disable it in those places. I'm sure someone somewhere would blame Samsung for making it too easy to commit such a crime!
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
If you happen to be a fan of split-window mode in Android Nougat, there is a good chance that may find this nifty tools App that I have been working on - Parallel Windows for Nougat (Android 7.0 Nougat exclusive)
What it does? 3 things as of now:
#1 Provide an onscreen shortcut to toggle split-screen
#2 Quickly launch any new App in split-screen mode through a floating mini App drawer.
#3 Mirror an App!
YES! You can run two Windows of an App, two windows of almost any App on a phone but MANY windows of an App on tablet, as seen on the screenshots above.
The set of tools can be accessed by swiping from right edge of the screen, couple of screenshots of the App:
Here is a video demo (please note that it's on an emulator, expect some lags here and there.) In case you're only interested in checking out how the mirroring of App works, jump to 03:14 in the video. And if anybody can shoot a quality video, please do and upload to this thread.
Please subscribe, share the link of this thread with your Nexus friends (running Android Nougat.)
Thank you for going through my post.
DOWNLOAD OPTIONS:
Download from Google Play Store (Receive updates automatically)
If you like the App, please leave a rating on Google Play Store.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION AND SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE APP IS LEFT ON THE THIRD POST.
What's changed/new in v2.1_Alpha:
* The white background of "RECENT ACTIVITY" panel is now toned down.
* Recent activity removes Apps which are uninstalled.
* Added/changed UI texts wherever needed.
What's changed/new in v2.0_Alpha:
* Significant improvement in the UI controls, you should feel everything super snappy now.
* App drawer now supports fast scrolling.
* You can now adjust the placement of the hotspot to trigger Parallel Windows side bar - length, width, location (up/down/left/right.)
* A new panel is now available, 'RECENT ACTIVITY' - whichever App you launch/mirror using Parallel Windows, goes here. This panel will have more additions in future - shortcut to launch multiple Apps, widgets etc.
What's changed/new in v1.2_Alpha:
* The App is now battery ready - uses CPU for only the few seconds when you interact with it.
What's changed/new in v1.1_Alpha:
* The floating App drawer should be super responsive now.
* After swiping in left the tools menu, you can tap anywhere on the screen to exit (earlier you had to swipe back to the right.)
* Added quick sharing option.
If you have an interesting use case for the 'mirror' feature on a particular App, please post a screenshot of your phone/tablet. I will include them here to showcase.
Installation instruction and important notes on the app
THE SET-UP:
Download the .apk and proceed with standard installation.
Launch the App, read through the notes, check off boxes, hit 'continue'.
In the main Settings page, hit the first switch 'Permit to draw over other Apps', it will take you to a new page, enable the permission and hit back.
Again, in the main Settings page, click the second switch 'Enable Accessibility Service', you will be take to the Accessibility Services menu, choose "Parallel Windows for Nougat" from the list, and enable it.
[OPTIONAL] Go back to the Settings page, adjust the width and height of the hotspot (the hotspot region will be highlighted with every change.)
HOW TO USE:
Once everything is set-up, you can swipe from the middle of right edge of your screen to open the menu.
The menu has 3 buttons, starting from top they are: App Drawer, Split Screen Toggle and Mirror respectively.
Clicking the middle button (Split Screen Toggle) will, well, toggle the split-screen mode of your device.
The top most button (App Drawer,) will let you open a App drawer right on your screen. Clicking any App here will launch it side-by-side to your existing App. If your device is already in split-screen mode, then there is no gurantee on which side of the screen will the App launch. Also, one important thing to keep in mind is, this App drawer is exclusive to launch Apps side by side, it will NOT open any App in normal full screen.
The third button is called 'Mirror'. 'Parallel Windows' for Nougat is totally inspired by the magical functionality of this button. More about it in the next section.
THE MIRROR:
CASE 1: You're not in split-screen mode. Now, if you swipe from right, hit the Mirror button, it will ask you to "Select an App to mirror". You can tap anywhere on the background App that is visible through the transcluent black area. Clicking it will mirror the App, give it a few seconds to complete the process.
CASE 2: You're already in split-screen mode and you want to mirror one of the two windows (or many incase of tablets.) Again, swipe from right, hit the mirror button, tap on the App which you want to mirror, visible through the translucent black window.
There is small probability that the Mirroring didn't do its job well. In that case, you can just try again. If it doesn't work the second time either, and you really need to mirror the particular App, all you have to do is, close all other Apps, and try mirroring on the App again (it should work almost certainly.)
Do note that, not all the Apps are mirrorable. Parallel Windows will indeed let you know if it can not mirror a particular App. In most of the cases, if you think an App has a use for mirroring then most likely it will be available for mirroing.
Looks awesome
This is how I've been saying Samsungs multi window should be toggled for years! Looks great!
What I always wanted was split window in LANDSCAPE that showed 2 or 3 windows scaled as if it's 3 full screens. Like 3 devices. Smaller keyboard, smaller phone app, but clear enough on these super high res screens we have.

You can expect that to happen in future version of Parallel Windows, you can define how you would like to use the screen space.

Hi! The minimum and maximum for the App is Android 7.0 Nougat. As it is completely based of the split-screen functionality in Nougat.

Can not install apk on Cm13 ,6.0.1
"Parsingerror"
Gesendet von meinem SM-G900F mit Tapatalk
Hello everyone!
The App is finally up! I spent countless hours, continuously day and night for so many days now to arrive at this Alpha version. Hope it works as good as it does on my emulator. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Fun fact: The development of this App was entirely based on an Android emulator. Because I don't have a Nexus. So, if you downloaded the App first and installed on an Android Nougat device, you're probably the first person every to try this App on a real device. Are you the one? Let me know

The App is designed to work on Android 7.0 Nougat stock ROM, unfortunately.

Well i don't have a Nexus, but i guess i am the first one to download it on my AOSP 7.0.
The app works exactly as you described. Didn't find any bug yet but hey i'm using it since last 5 mins. I don't usually do reviews but i left you one on Google Play Store (actually my first one). I hope you get a real device to develop.
Kudos! Keep up the amazing work.
EDIT: The Sidebar closing animations are a bit laggy. I have some suggestions:
1. Clicking on the empty space to close the sidebar rather than dragging it back.
2. Change sidebar hotspot positions to user defined places on either right or left edge of the screen.
I know this app is still in alpha but just my two cents. I'll go back to lurking now.

Wow! Didn't expect the first review from India as it would be 3+ AM when you tried the App. Thank you! I acknowledged your review on Google Play Store as well.
Also, your suggestions are much appreciated. The sidebar opening may 'feel' laggy, as it waits for the user's swipe to complete from hotspot towards left. But closing should absolutely be smooth, can you clarify that? Or if it's really a visible lag, a small 3 seconds screencast would help me clarify a lot.
And as the development progresses, the hotspot will be super customizable. I have intentionally kept it super minimal to get some quick feedback on the core features.
I have quite a bunch of real exciting features planned for future versions, now if only I can slow down time.

I just tried it again. It could be due to OmniSwitch. I have OmniSwitch assigned on the same place too with double swipe. I'll try again tomorrow and send you a screencast if it happens. I've to go to sleep now. Like you said its 03:30 am here and i got a job to do tomorrow.
