Hi All,
I am currently on CM11 and it's running great! But, one of the feature that i miss from stock was the ability to have the home button to always show. on CM11, when running certain apps (clash of clans, sonic, etc) the game goes to full screen and i have to swipe from top or side to get the home button to show. but, sometimes it's not that easy and i have to swipe multiple times, which is a pain with a cover on, to get the home button to show.
Is there a way around this? one of xposed module perhaps? or can Gravity Box change this setting?
Thank you!

Look for a setting to disable "immersive mode" on your ROM.

I dont like the lockscreen a lot, so it irritates me how home button wakes my Note 3.
Easily disable this by navigating to system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Open up gpio-keys.kl with a text editor and scroll down to the bottom, you'll see there a list where it says "Home WAKE"
simply just edit the "WAKE" by erasing it and save, restart and your home button no more wakes the screen
Hope I didn't point out the obvious thing here, but I was happy to find this worked
Yeah, you need to be rooted with root rights for the file manager of your choice

I did this, too, but then you get the vibration motor running shortly every time you press home (at least this happened to mee). I reverted back as soon as xposed worked on the note 3 and installed wanam. There you have a simple checkbox to disable the wake on home button feature.

I've got an unlocked european N3. Maybe this makes a difference. But sure enough, the vibration on each and every home button press was really annoying.:silly:
Since kitkat, Google has made long-pressing home bring up Google Now, and the button to the left brings up recents...
I've always liked long-press home to bring up recents, and the other button for menu, and used gravity box on xposed, however now I have lollipop I can't use xposed...
Is there another way to do what I want?
I have a galaxy s5 with fusion ROM
no,actually i dont think show.

That would be a pain, I've already had issues... I use playerpro for my music, and there's no software settings button which you need for sleep timer etc
Some Custom Roms had this option 'sleep timer'.
Hi, so my SHIELD Tablet has Android 5.0, and i saw a guide previously on how an XPOSED module can force the Softkeys (Navbar) to be on the right side and stay there. However, as of Android 5.0 and ART, XPOSED does no longer work (for now), and i need another ROOT solution. Is there any other app that can force my Navbar to be forced to stay in any orientation on the right side (portrait bottom)? Would be nice to hear back from you guys.
Good mood droid Auto hide softkeys, in the play store. Left or right in landscape and bottom in portrait.

Thanks, but i dont want them to hide, i only want them to stay in the portrait mode and not rotate with the screen. Auto Hide Softkeys works, however it makes the softkeys an overlay if i decide to put the action on what makes the bar dissappear again on none of the buttons or touch clicks and set the timer to 10000ms. That doesnt make it dissappear, however it does make it so that things can go under the buttons, but i want them to stay where they are and be like hardware keys. Is there any way doing that?
Looking to see if there is any ability to get the right capacitive key to do anything other than switch/clear open apps? I sure do miss being able to hit the right key on my old phone and it would typically bring up menu options for whatever app you happened to be in and also a shortcut into your settings when on one of the home screens. What a PITA having to go up to the top right side of each app, hit the 3 little menu dots and change menu options that way.
Anybody figure any work-arounds or other 3rd party apps that can help out with this?
It would be nice if Alcatel would allow the right capacitive key to access the settings or menu of an app with a long hold of the button. Short hold of the button accesses the open apps. That would be intuitive. My old phone was the opposite, a short tap would open a backdoor to menu options and a long hold would open the active apps for dismissal or switch.
Very much an extra effort reaching up to the right when in Chrome to have to go to your bookmarks...that's just one example.
Any 3rd party launchers include something of this ability?
Also a PITA having to reach allllllll the way up to the top of the phone to pull down the notification panel. My old phone with KK 4.4.4 all you had to do was slide down anywhere on the home screen and the notification panel would come down. Vice versa, sliding up on a home screen would open the backdoor to your settings menu.
These are my two biggest *****es 24 hours into having this phone. Everything else I've tried so far seems pretty good.
I can propose solutions to two of your problems ..
(a) For bookmarks, could a bookmark widget help ? I believe Chrome has its own , but you could also use the stock widget and have it open any browser. Of course this only works in you are not already inside the browser. You can also try a browser with gestures. I think dolphin can do that.
(b) For the notification shade, you can use a launcher than offers a swipe down gesture. I use Apex which has gestures for free, and I have swipe down set for the notification shade.
Cool, thanks! Hopefully Alcatel is taking notes for future updates?
Did your phone have a custom room or Launcher? Those are not standard gestures for kit kat or stick Launcher.

These are not working for me. Are they working for you? What am I doing wrong?
"Swipe up to return to home screen"
"Swipe and hold to access recent apps"
"Swipe up from the left or right side to go back"
They work perfectly for me.
EDIT: It's important that you swipe up from the buttom.
Yes, loving the gestures, couldn't live without them now

Amen ??
these gestures totally rock
They work phenomenally. I cannot go back to soft keys.
Try work flawlessly but I went back to softkeys due to the lack of a gesture for quickly switching between the last used apps. If OP only added some additional (configurable) gestures it would be perfect.

I like them but wish there is more customisation, like the Oneplus gestures app where you can swipe up and hold on the left and right swipes.
Absolutely fantastic, love them
Agree with all posters: Had to learn to love it, but after a short time of using them, I really don't need any keys anymore. This is something, I never thought I'll ever get used to it. And today, I couldn't be any happier for this feature .
The trick is to swipe slowly from the bottom and pause to get all apps in memory. It took me a while to get that one down.
One of the best things about the OP6 is that big screen and you're not getting the best out of it if you're not using gestures. I'm not sure I can go back to buttons after using gestures.
1 of the best feature in OP6
I have been using a iphone x for work, which obviously has gestures, and this is just great for Android, and Oneplus. Works like a champ. Between that and the silk white, I have a new favorite phone.

You do have them on right? Are your buttons hidden or showing?
I'm totally addicted to the navigation gestures, I just hope One Plus will not give up completely this feature for the new one that will be included in the Android P
Never going back to buttons...
Gestures are really good and work as explained. The best part is due to the gestures you can get the max screen to be used.

I didnt have them on. They are on now. The only thing I dont like is I cant turn off the screen by double tapping the home button(I set it up that way) which arent there anymore. How do you guys turn off the screen with a short cut now?
