[XPOSED] Twisty Switch: Customize your Moto X's twist gesture! - Moto X Themes and Apps

This isn't supported or being developed for anymore. No need to ask for features / settings / etc since they won't happen.
This is an Xposed module that allows you to customize what happens when you perform the "twist" motion that normally starts the camera.
Right now you are limited to launching activities that are available through your launcher.
This module allows enabling/disabling of the vibrate that occurs when starting an app.
This is an initial and quickly tested release. It's possible there are bugs with it. Please report anything you find here! (Logcat stacktraces appreciated )
Please suggest twist actions or features that you'd like to see in future versions!
The module can be found in the Xposed repo by searching "Twisty Switch"
List of bugs / to-dos :
If you have a pin enabled the screen will not turn on.
Sort alphabetically
Can do the twist gesture when your desired app is already open
Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dym.twistyswitch

Good job Op. Testing it ASAP.
Sent from Moto X

Works great thanks! Could the list of apps be sorted alphabetically? That would make finding things so much easier. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot , testing !!!

Great job I tried it with the new Google camera it opens it but initially I get an error message I have to clear that says could not connect to camera. I hit OK an the camera opens great beta app.

Not working on my Moto X. Do you need some info to fix it?

Did you pick an app through the Twisty Switch config? Reboot your phone? Do you have a password on your phone?

This will be in the next release. I realized I should have done this after I finished up last night and uploaded everything. It's a simple fix.

The "Could not connect to camera" message shouldn't have anything to do with Twisty Switch. It's launching the camera app no different than how your launcher would normally start up the camera.

I'm not trying to insult you so don't take it that way. Do you have xposed installed this is only a module not a stand alone app. If you do then make sure after you install it you go into exposed and activate it then reboot and it will work. On a side note for the OP the error message I get for the Google camera doesn't always happen its intermittent. I don't know how to log the error but will if you tell me how to and post the log.

Here is a screen shot of the error and I have a maxx.

works perfectly on my droid maxx. non-developer edition. running 4.2.2 camera update. rooted with motoroot 1.0 and wpnomo.
Thank you so much, OP!

I am getting the "Can't Connect to Camera" message as well trying to launch Google Camera (which works fine when launced from the app menu).

Okay I just got it to happen. I think I have an idea of why its happening. I'll take a look at it later tonight.
Thanks for the feedback. Bear with me while I get things fixed

Wow this works pretty great thanks so much!
One suggestion I have though is add an option to hide the app from the app drawer.

Nice work.
Disabling the annoying vibration is the best feature in my opinion.
If the motorola stock camera app isn't running (hibernated/removed) it doesn't work. I'm not excieted about this. Just for the protocoll.
Cheers

I just edited my post. It was the stock camera app.
I hibernated it, because i do not know, what it does. And haven't recognize any issues, yet, by disabling it.

I have a T-Mobile G3 and had a similar experience. I install the app and open it. I select several apps to include in dual window and hit the "Apply" button. Then a button appears that says, "Reboot..." and that button does nothing. So I reboot the phone, and none of my changes are there. When I look at the app in app manager, it shows no data stored for the app.
I uninstalled, downloaded and installed again with the same result.
I would love for this to work. I wonder if it is conflicting with some other root app...an xposed module or something.
Guys,
You can enable all apps to work with multi-window if your rooted.
All you need to do is edit the build prop info

Android O picture in picture not working

Just installed the Android O Beta and a playing YouTube video doesn't go into Picture in Picture mode when I return to the homescreen.
Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it, or has anyone just installed the O beta and has this working without a hitch?
Didn't work when I upgraded to the beta from 7.1.2, I have since tried a factory reset, and as far as the play store tells, there are no updates available to any app.
I installed the beta version of O today on my Pixel XL through Google beta program and picture in picture is not working for me either.
It's​ a reccurrent problem according to some reviews on YouTube.
I also heard that it currently only works with a YouTube red subscription...
This worked for me

Get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" from Play store, enter 171 as the keycode when you create an extra navigation button. I chose the screenshot icon as my PIP button. Works great.

Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.

Thanks, mcbeat—the default behaviour is that it's turned on for every compatible app though automatically. So, unfortunately, this doesn't help ?.
Yep not working here in the UK, what's the point in having PIP as a feature if it doesn't work properly - if it's bull**** to make me get YouTube Red - then it's not working, in fact if Google did that it would be a really **** move.

pixel 3 modded launcher

Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.
Have been through pretty much every launcher and this adds to a better user experience.
The version i'm using is P-4623511 -modded-5.2.0
New themeable launcher here.

Any tips and tricks you recommend for this launcher?
New launcher now in OP
New features:
Theming

I'd say use swap torpedo to eliminate system lag in general.

Be sure to give the app all available permissions BEFORE you run it for the first time or it will crash.

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
