special feature on 4.2.2 Google edition - Galaxy S 4 General

I found something that's...well not very useful but for some with bad eye vision very useful.
Tap on your screen fast like five times and see what happens. Your screen in large like you hold it under a magnifying glass. Your screen is now with blue line. Also works in any browser.

Not working here...maybe you activated a special development feature ?

It is probably something in accessibility

Yep, just verified that and it's "magnification gestures" in Accessibility. Triple tap activates magnification and works for everything but the keyboard and the navigation bar.

You're right. This accessibility feature is also available in TW stock ROM with triple tap. However, Air View cannot be activated with it and Samsung tells that it might slow the phone.

It is also available on my s3 running 4.2.2 leaked ME7 rom. Most probably it is a 4.2.2 feature across all devices running on it. Not only the G Edition.

What Rom are you using

I have had that before on my phone. It was quite a while back and I "think" it was part of another application I had downloaded but I don't remember which one... maybe back track what you have downloaded and uninstall til you find it. Worth a shot...

This looks like the pop-up you get when you are on the phone talking and get another call and is giving you the option to send a txt to the caller. The option is there in the stock ROM which I am sure is carried over to custom ROM's.
I have never seen this pop-up but others have. If you have a custom dialer that may be why.
go into Settings > Call > Phone settings (or similar for a custom dialer)
I believe this is a setting within the MIUI rom... I could be wrong though.

One X has full touch gesture area below display

Not sure if people have noticed this and I couldnt find anything on search related to this but,
the area below the display on the one x(mine's att) is full touch enabled and gesture capable(?)
I noticed this when I was swiping through the home screens and my thumb went below the display but it maintained full response to the touch. Then while swiping i went completely below the display and was swiping with my finger well below the display, basically having no direct contact to the screen and swiping back and fourth above where the capacitive buttons are. It also does this in other apps like maps, browser, etc, where ever touch gestures are made.
Im guessing maybe there are developer api's to this area of the screen, so it can be used as an additional way to interact with the phone, ala bb playbook.
Don't think there are any APIs out there. I think I saw this somewhere else on the thread and they were saying that you'd need a custom kernel to use it?? But yeah they have it there because it's cheaper to share the digitiser for the capacitive buttons. I know there was a ROM for ICS that let you swipe the bottom to unlock.....

Yeah, some of us knew this. Cm9 used it to put an invisible menu button to the right of the recent app button. I didn't much care for the option, but it still was cool.

Yep, I know this as well.
There is something called "Sweep2Wake" which when you swipe across the capacitive buttons, it wakes/puts the device to sleep. Pretty nifty if we can get that implemented via kernel.
Yea MIUI v4 did the menu key next to the recent apps key thing. I realized this 4 hours after flashing the ROM lmao

Took 7 taps for me, just like nexus4. I believe that 7 is the magic number for all 4.2+ devices... could be wrong about that, though.
@ShadowDice9100
It takes 7 taps not 3
Please update your OP
I have like 5 Androids at home and for aall of them it takes 7 taps not 3
Tap the android version four times. Tap the jelly bean. Then with five fingers on the screen make a squeezing motion on the smiling jelly bean. Enjoy!

Who knew?
Y'all did, obviously. I've had the Developer tab enabled on several other Android devices that I've owned, but it always appeared after I installed a custom ROM. Since there hasn't been much development for this device, all I've done is gained root access and installed TWRP.
That's a sweet trick. Thanks.
What did you use to root it? Any link that you can provide?

Air view/gesture is working in chrome

I've had it work on several occasions on my phone as a mouse.
So when I hover a menu on say Amazon, it will drop down without clicking it.
I even tested it on a few mouseover test pages and it was working really well.
I'm 100% certain it works I even made a video of it on my friends phone.
I've yet to recognize when this "bug" happens but it happens every now and then.

But when I tried even stock browser not dropping dropdown menu, just magnifieing it...what to say about Chrome
Can any one also confirm that is Air view able to open dropdown menu or show 8ntegrated onfo or links...afik it just magnifyies. Only spen buten opens dropdown menu
Yeah the Samsung browser magnifies but in chrome it acts as a mouse.
I'm on 4.2.2 rooted stock.
Interesting is that it happens even if all air things are disabled.

I haven't used Chrome yet ...
It happens at random for me, I haven't noticed this behavior on the last 2 updates though.
It works on all sites.
Any way I can downgrade Chrome to try and replicate it.
Anyhow, it's definitely possible to get it working, I just figured someone with the knowledge might want to give it a try.

Android 10 gestures

I've updated to android 10 and the OS is running great. The only problem I have is the new gesture controls (recents & app switcher) don't work with any other launcher other than the stock one.
As shown in the attached picture, I've tried all these and none of them work. I've been using smart launcher for years and now it doesn't work with the gesture controls. The only gesture that works with all 3rd party launchers is swipe up to minimize.
This is my daily driver as it last even longer than the energizer bunny. I use it a lot for work and get home with about 88% of battery. My device is not rooted in case the question is asked.
Thanks in advance.

If u go into accessibility, check if gestures is turned on for the launcher. Also in the settings of the launcher, if u double tap you should get this option and select the appropriate option.

Is your device running Android 10?
