[Q] How can I disable the "Easy Clip" S Pen feature?

Hi all, I'm loving the note 10.1 for notes, its totally revolutionized my note taking in college. I'm currently using the Lecture Notes app and it works great! The only problem I am having is this "Easy Clip" function that Samsung built into the S Pen features. When you press the button and draw on the screen you can "crop" any image and do stuff with it. Pretty cool function, however I'd like to disable it so I can use the "button+drawing" function in Lecture Notes to act as an eraser.
I can't seem to find anything in the settings or online about disabling Easy Clip (or the S Pen gestures all together) so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated :good:.
FYI, I'm still running the stock 4.1 rom. I would assume that running a custom rom would solve my problem but I haven't had a chance to root the tablet yet. Please let me know if you've had a similar issue and were able to solve it

Not possible.
But if you install gmd gesture pen app then you can..

Hi
I got lecture notes which function do you mean by button + draw

You need to check out this huge Lecture Notes thread. The developer is always helping and improving things. There are so many people there that are very fluent in the use of Lecture Notes that I don't want to confuse you and give advice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870639

It would be extremely convenient to paint in the ArtFlow, if disable this!!
Is it a separate app or just a feature bundled with other s-pen functionality in one process?

Hello community,
I found a solution to disable the easy-clip feature temporary on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 with german NH3 ROM.
With these steps I got the temporary disable of easy-clip:
1. Draw a circle with spen button holded on the display to start easy-clip
2. Hit the question mark
3. Press home button
4. Easy-clip shoud be temporary disabled until next deep sleep or restart
Can anyone confirm this solution on his Note device?

Hiding navigation key

Hello everybody!
I am extremely disappointed with the firmware! Mine is EU. If you make the Navigation Key of the screen type or "soft" you should provide the way to hide it in order to free extra screen space. Otherwise why not to make it "hard" or buttons? This was the feature I loved in first Huawei Ascend Mate which I have been using for several years. I could hide it and slide back from the bottom whenever I liked. Why on earth they removed it here on Mate 9? On a lot of apps the navigation keys are useless and they look stupid. Especially after I found that this feature is preserved in Chinese version. I really got used to it so much that I feel ready to get rid of otherwise not so much remarkable phone in favor of some other model.

In Chinese version still exists.... But no in European and international... This had happened to mate 8 too....

In addition, there is no working guide to make navigation keys hiding. I tried some advices, changed build.prop, changed parameter in settings database. Yes, one new button appeared, like \/. I pressed it, navigation keys went off, but never appeared again. Have to factory reset to restore them.
Huaweied)

There are apps to do this, I have used GMD Immersive. But it's a bit of a pain sometimes particularly when using the keypad.

GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive is of some help

Since GMD doesn't work properly on EMUI 5 you can hide the navbar by installing KangVIP. It's an option in KangVIP Tools.

Where does that come from? Can't find kang vip tools on the play store.

Where are the Kangatools VIP

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-3-fingers-fullscreen-hide-t3275050 works for me. Can configure autohide for specific applications. Need to be installed from ADB as described in the first post.

Still the best way to handle the screen navigation keys was made in first Huawei Ascend Mate phone like in these screenshots.
Hide navigation bar ON
Hide navigation bar OFF
Screenshot 2
Screenshot 3
Just one effortless swipe up anytime and that's all. I wonder if anybody can just repeat this simple scheme?

Write to the people who devlope Lianage Os for Mate 9'to add this feature from Mate 8

Try this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
No root needed, just an adb command to enable immersive mode. Good thing about this is keyboard pops up when it should and works properly even in full screen mode.
Just toggle it from the quick shortcuts.

Dont know if to buy or not.

In thoughts to by an Mate 9 but have a few questions:
1) Is there a expanded desktop option on Huawei Mate 9?
2) Does Nova Launcher work well on the letest update on it?
3) I would appreciate if someone could post a screenshot with the View Mode on the smallest and the Font Size on the smallest? It is important for me to get the very small text you find in Lionage Os.
4) Hows it going with the release of the Kernal of the phone? Lineage Os?
5) How well have the camera worked on previous Huawei phones with custom roms, have they still been the same afterwards? I have experienced on three different phones that the camera went worse after installing Cyanogen Mod, Lineage Os...
6) How hard is it to port the camera app from Huawei to an custom rom?

I can't answer the custom rom and root questions, i can help you with the other stuff though.
1) No there isn't
2) It works amazingly well!
3) what do you want to screenshot me? The settings page with the font size or a specific app?
Sorry for not being able to answer everythinf, hope i still helped you a bit

If you want custom ROMs I'd advise you to find another device if not this is the whole package the best phone I have ever used and I've used most of them.

Great phone. My set up attached with google now swipe left and pixel launcher

What size do you use in view mode and font size on that picture?
Here is my OPO with smallest in both settings

I use custom DPI of 365 set in developer options.

Sorry for bumping a week old thread. Just wanted to let you guys know that you can actually hide the status bar up top. Download Tiles from the Play Store. It lets you add quick settings tiles for just about anything. There's one for immersive mode, where you can press the tile and it'll hide the status bar, navigation bar, system bar or a dialog for your choosing. I have it set so whenever I toggle the quick setting tile, it hides the status bar up top, which is what you are looking for. It works great.

Here is a pair of screenshots of the quick tiles from the app, and how it looks like without the status bar. Let me know if you need any help or have any other questions.

Thanks! The only thing left is a way to hide the Navi buttons in choosen apps, for an example chrome.

Back button - Anywhere

Hello guys this is my first time to post here I need some help and I believe you guys have the enough skills and experience to help me out.
I downloaded this app called Back button - everywhere from the playstore
It's working fine and everything but I was wondering if someone could increase the size of the box "button" or maybe edit the dimensions so it becomes a bit more like a rectangle button or something..
The thing is I'm not using this app for the same thing it was made for, I'm only using it to hide a specific part of my phone screen just to avoid touching that part. So yeah if you guys have an alternative to it I'd appreciate that I have been trying to find anything similar but unfortunately I couldn't, most likely it's the only app that fits my need. I can set it to "do nothing when clicked" also the transparent background is what I love about so yeah
In the photo these are the options I can edit the size but it's limited to that particular area (red box)
Could someone help just make that box a little more bigger? That's all I need thank you
Edit : double it's size horizontally would be perfect. Like.. two boxes next to each other that's the size I need thank you

An app named "Back button - everywhere" isn't available on Google Play Store. But 2 apps named "Back button - anywhere". What the app you really refer to?
