I'm referring to the physical button to the left of the home button. I hardly ever use the recent button, but definitely use the menu button. For example, if I want to access settings for Nova launcher, I now have to navigate to the setting vs just tapping "menu".
Set a gesture in Nova to launch Nova settings. That's the easiest way.

Nope. No option to add "menu" button in Nova either. Even more frustrating with Nova, the expand notifications feature doesn't seem to work with gestures. My favorite feature of Nova is the ability to swipe down from anywhere and get to notifications. No longer possible on s6.....yet.
I have no idea what you're referring to. Both definitely work lol. Look below swipe down for expand in options.
I also definitely have a swipe up gesture on the app drawer to launch Nova settings with just a swipe.

I enabled that feature. swiped down, nothing. Then I decided to try double tap from anywhere to access notification; also nothing. If it's working for you, then maybe I have a bad version. Maybe you can check your version? I'm on v 5.0.2
I'm running the beta version actually from the Google plus community. Maybe that's why. Give it a try.

I use double tap to wake almost exclusively to turn my screen on, but I find some of the other HTC motion gestures annoying or problematic. For example, I have pulled my phone out of my pocket, while accidentally holding a volume button, and the camera app opened. This is generally an annoyance, but I have had this occur in a dark room followed by blinding everyone near me with the flash. I'm using ViperOneM8 at the moment, but didn't see an option to selectively enable these gesture controls.
Under display and gestures in settings.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I want to disable to landscape+volume to turn on camera, but I want to keep double tap to wake. I don't see any option to do that.

Completely agree with you; I find myself triggering voice calls more frequently than I'd like. Unfortunately, the current ROM only permits "all" or none with the motion gestures (hopefully they'll fix that if enough folks complain).

I believe that option is in the camera app settings.

That setting only affects the volume button function while the screen is already on.
It is a all or none approach as a previous poster stated as far as I can tell. Can wait until the devs figure out how to mod that.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
Did you already try out PopUp Widget?

Quite nice, maybe for you...

This is what can be done with PopUp widget too...

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)
It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.
You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!

Actually i´m happy with just swiping up from the home button. :good:
Hi,
I've just bought a used OPO from a friend and have a couple of doubts in how to customize some functions..
How can I customize buttons to reverse long press home for recent apps and long press menu for google?
How can I remove phone from lock screen?
Can I remove google bar from recent apps?
Probably I'll have some more doubts later on, but I'd already be happy with these answers I couldn't find myself on Google.
Thanks.:good:

Search bar is disabled in home but not in recent apps.
This is what I mean by phone in lock screen.
Thanks.
in about phone, turn on advanced mode, the options should be available in buttons. you can customise your lockscreen in settings.
It worked!! Thank you so much! I was also able to remove recent apps search bar in display settings.
no problem
One more question if you don't mind.. Why can't I select same wallpaper image for home and lock screen? I can select and adjust home wallpaper position to where I want, but lock screen I only found option in themes but doesn't allow adjustment.
In my nexus and Samsungs I usually went to Gallery select image and clicked "Set as Wallpaper" - Home and Lock Screen", but in OPO this option is not available..
Thanks.
my screen for showing all open apps and opening any one I tap, doesn't show many apps at a time
Here is the screen from my Moto,

Here s the screen from my doogee y6c that shows far more apps
Is there any way I can make the moto show open apps like the doogee screen?
Thanks
My understanding is the recents screen is now part of the launcher.
Try a different launcher, set as default, possibly disabling the stock launcher.
This is not a Motorola issue, it's a change in android.
Also it's recent apps, not running apps. The right name will help you find info.
It's not a part of the launcher. It's just an Android 9 Pie recent apps menu redesign.

Other sources say the functionality was moved into the launcher. So a 3rd party launcher could help after disabling the stock launcher.

It's not a functionality of the Moto launcher per se. Maybe they moved it under launchers control in general? If so that's an odd decision and the first I've heard of such a thing in Android. Also I don't see any alternative option in Nova launcher, which I'm using , and which is usually up to date with this kind of stuff.

I don't have a pie device currently. Just some stuff I saw looking for info.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-recent-apps-customization/
There's a Magisk module (QuickSwitch) that can be used for changing which launcher handles the recents functionality.
