[Q] Possible to play a sound when toggling extended desktop? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if it would be fairly easy to play a sound when toggling extended desktop / immersive mode? I just learned about Xposed Framework and I have my Nexus 5 set up really cool and it would that much more awesome if I could make this happen. If anyone knows how to do this or can help me do this, I would be so thankful! Thanks so much!

Tasker would be your best bet.

I checked out Tasker and I don't think they have anything regarding Emersive Mode / Extended Desktop. Great suggestion though, thank you!
Anymore ideas on how I could have a sound be played when switching to and from Emersive Mode / Extended Desktop?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

any help people? i searched on google but i didnt get anything usefull .
so iam waiting XDA .
thanks.
Same issue
I have had that same problem... i hate the phone screen flipping around all the time but the only time i think its useful and worth the annoying accidental flips is when you are viewing pictures. Unfortunately, no there isn't a way to make it only work in the gallery.
Here's two workarounds:
There are home screen widgets that will let you quickly enable and disable the display rotation feature.
You can download any of the thousands of nice photo viewing apps from the market. Many of them have an option in there settings to make them stay in landscape mode.
the 8-6-AW superaosp ROM have this option ,so any one can do it?
thanks.

[Q] Good Missed It! Alternative?

I'm looking for a highly configurable, minimalistic missed call/text/email notification center to use in conjunction with WidgetLocker. I've run the gamut by now. Missed It! is pretty good, but still not quite as tweakable as I'd like. Ideally, it'd be terrific if the notifications hid when there were no missed calls/texts, and appeared only when needed.
Anyone have a good alternative?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've tried Noled with Widgetlocker and found it just doesn't work, but perhaps I've misconfigured it. Thoughts?

Hi! Just like you, I got Missed It! so that I could properly combine it with WidgetLocker... and if I understand correctly what you want, Missed It! does have it: in Settings -> Output format, uncheck "Always show output".
Interesting. I'll give that a shot. "Always show output" isn't exactly the most self-explanatory menu item...

NoLed does work, but it's a bit of a pain to set up! You have to check on all of the options, and select the ones you want.

Certain things don't work correctly with a non-standard lockscreen. I use Phonelocator Pro and it acts as a manager using the internal Android lockscreen but NOLed still does not work correctly with it. The developer confirmed this in his thread.

I thought phone locator was an app to know the location of a phone, and not a lockscreen? In any event noLed works with golocker. Which lockscreen are you using?

In order to prevent the app from being disabled, it acts as a "device administrator." It uses the default Android Lockscreen still but the dev. said it was no-go no noLED. Perhaps he didn't understand just how Phonelocator modifies default behavior, but regardless that was his answer.

[APP][FREE + NO ADS][4.0+ FOR SURE] We Have To Go Back, Kate!

3.1 BETA OUT NOW
This is my first app, so lots of *constructive* feedback would be nice.
It's nothing special (I did it on MIT AppInventor like the noob who knows no java that I am)
Ever leave somewhere and forget how to get back?
Problem = Solved.
Simply press the button and it will remember your "Island Location" -- for you Lost fans --which you can name.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Screenshots in attachments
CHANGELOG
// What's new in 3.1
-- Added 2 customizeable saved locations
-- Fixed buttons getting cut off
// What's new in 2.1
-- Settings bugs hopefully fixed -- I'm currently testing it
*Changng to Lost background will apply after app is closed and reopened
// What's new in 2.0
-- Settings -- Change the look of the main screen
MORE SETTINGS TO COME -- just a trial run right now
// Planned changes for next version
-- Whatever I can think of. Any suggestions?
P.S. If you want an older version just pm me I'll get it for you
Has anyone used this app? Really looking for some feedback...
I downloaded your app, and you have a good idea and it is functional, although obviously limited in design and some functionality due to the lack of raw java. I also think it would be nice to have some settings of some sort, if it's possible to add those with the program you used to create it

I'm working on adding settings now. I plan to make the background and fonts changeable because I know I can easily do that. If you have any other settings ideas I can give them a shot.
I'm also looking to make the app able to remember multiple locations.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great idea! You should add a list of remembered places so one can chose where to go back to.

Yup no problem, and I'm no developer, so I'll leave the settings up to you. But if you want anymore testing or feedback just PM me and I'll be more than happy to, I've got nothing better to do

Does your app do something that using Google Maps w/ starred locations doesn't do?
If I go somewhere and think I might be so unfamiliar with the area that I might not be able to locate my car, I star the location I've parked at then use that when I leave wherever I went to easily find my spot.
It kind of sounds like your app does this too, but as its only feature?

Probably not. The only difference I imagine is that the app does it just by pushing buttons. It actually uses Google maps for directions. Sorry if that's disappointing for you haha
3.1 is up. This mostly a bump post haha. Would love to get some feedback

[APP REQUEST] - Turn Screen of Tablet into Blackboard

Hi all,
I've been searching the play store/web for a simple apk that turns your entire tablets screen into a chalkboard.
Can anyone recommend such an app? I know they're a couple out there, but they either have adds or annoying options... Plain and simple is best!
It'd be even cooler if there was a widget that took up an entire page you you can just swipe to said page and start to draw...
Now that would be a great app in my opinion.
Please let me know if anyone has come across such an app.
Cheers,
Conor

Immersive mode in apps

While this question is not directly related to Nexus 5, but since it is one of the few devices running KitKat, I'm posting it here. Its been more than a month since KitKat has launched, but even today the "immersive mode" (which I feel is SO important!) has not been translated to many apps that I use regularly -- Kindle, Pocket, Feedly etc. Its not like these apps haven't updated in the last month or so (they have). Is there any reason why these companies have not considered putting immersive mode as a priority item?
Stability is always the priority. Ask the developers of each app if they plan to support it. We don't know the answer in that, we cannot read minds

There is an Xposed module on these forums somewhere, that enables immersive mode everywhere. It has a few flaws though, as some apps just don't work right with it, or once the navigation bar pops back up, it cuts off the portion of the screen.
However the ones that did work with it, it worker great. It would be nice for someone to make an app or tweak to force selected apps into immersive mode, while allowing the navigation bar to stay where needed.

I still use expanded desktop + PIE controls. I think it works better than immersive mode. I turn it on when gaming.
I used the "Immerse me" xposed module, but it had some issues. Fore example in the AOSP messaging app, when the keyboard popped up, the last message received appeared inbetween the keyboard and where I was typing the message, but only partly. part was behind where I typed teh message. I found that disorientating. Also in tapatalk, which I use a lot - when the keyboard came up, teh top of tapatalk (the tapatalk toolbar) disappeared and I couldn't scroll. Really tricky to use with Pie as I had to keep backing out of the keyboard to do things within tapatalk when typing messages.

Could you elaborate on this? A quick play store search couldn't find expanded desktop, but I found something called pie control.

Hey man thanks for this! This is pretty much what I've been wanting. Now I can use the full resolution of my nexus 5! Great for streaming my PC games. Woohoo!
Would still be nice to have some sort of way to choose what apps go full screen, cuz it would just be easier to already have the nav bar for apps that are better suited for it, then go away on ones you want full screen for, but this is still a lot better than the immersive module for xposed. Thanks again.

Hey no prob, happy to help. It kinda breathes new life into the phone, doesn't it? This mod saved my N5 from being tossed in a drawer. I use it more than my Moto X now, just because of gaming on its 5" screen.
