Reachability from iOS? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys, is it possible to bring the reachability feature from iOS to the s8 plus?. I don't like the one handed mode in comparison.
Reachability is a software option that lets users temporarily move the iPhone user interface down towards the bottom of the screen, so that those with smaller hands or those using the phone single-handed can more easily reach the desired UI element

A swipe in from one of the bottom corners: The screen will shrink to the side you swiped from.
Three presses of the home button: The screen will shrink to the side you last used in one-handed mode.

Thanks for the reply. But I already mentioned I don't like the one handed mode on the s8.
Was wondering if it was possible to implement Reachability on the S8.

[APP][ICS][Samsung Galaxy SIII] VirutalKeys - HOME, RECENT APPS, SEARCH

Samsung Galaxy SIII's home button is very rough to press, long press of home button is really annoying, which makes multi tasking very tough, so I have developed this application for my personal use, hope its useful to others too.
Features:
Adds three shortcuts under 'VirtualKeys', HOME, RECENT APPS LIST, SEARCH [rooted device is required for SEARCH key functionality]
How to use:
STOCK touchwiz launcher -> Launcher -> widgets -> virtual key -> drop in desktop and select required shortcut
Why do I need HOME shortcut?
I use these shortcuts along with 'SwipePad: Hyperspace Jump' app, which lets you add shortcuts to its grid, So I can go to home/recent apps/search with just a swipe from any applications.
NOTE:
I AM NOT SURE HOW TO SIMULATE SEARCH KEY PRESS WITHOUT ROOT, PLEASE POINT OUT IF YOU KNOW ANY API.
I have designed this and tested inSGIII but should work in other devices too.
Feedback and thanks are welcome
Thanku...............was searching for this :good:

Thanks recent apps works as mentioned on my galaxy S3... but when using home shortcut nothing happens.. it registers touch and nothing moves .. i mean doesnt go to home screen from other screens.. is there any more i need to know?
this is expected behaviour, main intention of home shortcut is to use along with other app like Swipepad so that we can jump to home from any application
which shortcut is not working, though i never tested in s2 it should work
on my sg3 (stock, non rooted) only multitask button works, home and search don't... but multitask is all I really wanted so :good:
Thanks man! Very useful indeed.
does not work all the time..
maybe because I do not have root access? I'm using swipepad and have added the shortcuts but the home shortcut just takes you out of the application you were in and back to touchwiz, and the recent apps shortcut works only some of the time, you have to keep on retrying before it will open the recent apps.. so a FANTASTIC idea, but frustrating if it does not work all the time
..actually just noticed that if I add the shortcut to the screen for the recent apps it works every time, just not from SwypePad... curious..
..and thank you for the app!
Goran
Great!
Thanks for this mate!
VirtualKeys + SwypePad = awesomeness!
YOU DID IT.
:good:
Thanks for your job!!!!
VirtualKeys + SwypePad now:good:
But recent apps is not working for me :crying:
And need "Back","Menu":laugh:
Nova Launcher has this built in
I love capacitive buttons, but this one capacitive button and two soft buttons is unsettling since they require different pressures to be applied. I would have loved all capacitive buttons. But at this point, I'd rather have had all soft buttons than this mess.
Anyway, I use Nova launcher and I added both the "Recent Apps" and the "Text Search" from the "Nova Actions" to the dock. It's not as convenient as having a button on the phone since if I have an app, I first have to go to the desktop and then click on the dock button. So I also added it to the Notification Drop Down in the Notifications Toggle app.
You guys may also be aware of this, but another annoying thing was that it seemed to take longer than expected after hitting the Home Button to get to the home screen. Turns out that this was because hitting the home button twice starts the "S Voice" app and it was waiting for the second tap before showing the task list. Since I don't use S Voice, I turned it off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGY3Kp9xga4

[APP][3.1+][LAUNCHER] TasKarou Launcher Overlay

Tired of moving your fingers up/down your tablet to switch applications? Try out TasKarou!
TasKarou is a multitasking launcher overlay.
Taking inspiration from the 'Quick Controls' feature in the android browser, TasKarou provides a multitasking layer on top of a launcher for phone and tablets.
By swiping anywhere on the left or right edge of your device screen, you can activate TasKarou's UI, giving you access to a quick, smooth, and intuitive interface to facilitate app launch, transition, and management for the user
The user interface brings a more responsive, and enjoyable level of interaction to your device.
The app is available in the android market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.home.taskarou
Notes:
To use TasKarou, set it as the default home launcher, and from TasKarou's settings, select the actual home launcher you want to overlay.
TasKarou user interface is then triggered by swiping from either the left of right edge of your tablet screen, while still allowing access to the overlaid home launcher through the home button.

It should be possible, but unfortunately, I lack the resources to pursue development in that area (lack of devices running GB).
If someone has the knowledge, and the resources, I might consider open sourcing the app to allow development in that area.
I installed the app on my rooted Kindle Fire HD running ADW Launcher. It was nice to finally have multi-tasking/task switching ability on the tablet. Unfortunately had to uninstall it because it kept on causing failures with App Protector Pro - which I rely on more than task switching. When a new version comes out I'll try again.
Otherwise, great app!

HI!
I've been using this app for a week now, and love it.
I have some suggestions that might be useful:
-I have a galaxy note 2 and it's quite difficult for short fingers like me to reach back/menu buttons when operating with one hand. Could you please, please, pleeease add them?:fingers-crossed:
-Also it would be awesome to customize menus. For example, I don't use the options buttons quite often as I use 15 toggles toolbar, and the lower menu is easier to access with my thumb than the upper. That's where I'd locate home, menu and back buttons (if added), but maybe another person that's using a tablet likes the way it is now. Customizable buttons would solve this problem, so anyone could move/add/remove the buttons as he prefered.
-When using Google Chrome and swapping between tabs,it's necessary to move your finger horizontally from the border of the screen, and taskarou is launching when doing this. Perhaps you could implement an additional way to launch it by moving the finger vertically along the border of the screen.
-Last, It would be great to have the possibility to add a shortcut to any application, so you could quick launch your most used apps.
Well, perhaps all of this is asking too much but you would make me sooo happy if you could implement the first suggestion
Hey ne0fhyk,
Could you add customisation to the buttons?? So that you can replace them with whatever you want, I would really like the back home and applications button, also a time overlay on the corcver of the screen when the launcher is activated would be aweomse
I just wanted to add my vote for the ability to customize the menu..
I like the idea, but would prefer to be able to use the existing default screens for multitasking, app drawer, etc.
Perhaps this could be accomplished similar to other apps / lauchers that have an intent / activity / application browsers to make shortcuts (NovaLauncher / QuickShortcutMaker are good examples from the Play store). Perhaps there could be a nested ordered list of menu items in the settings with support for drag and drop to arrange shortcuts, and add new shortcuts
After basic customization is available it would be nice to see support for Automation app API's to create shortcuts to actions from Tasker, AutomateIT Pro, etc
Thanks for listening!
All better!

Turns out that the problem was with App Protector Pro. I updated the app and no more problems. Happily using TasKoarou again.
Can you add a few buttons like back, lock screen and volume up down? like in buttonsavior app? I really liked your app, very useful and beautiful.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just pushed an update that add back, and menu shortcuts for rooted devices.
For the next update, my focus is to add the ability to customize the menu. That update should have the rest of the features you suggested.

Your first suggestions have been implemented, and should be available in the app, starting with version 3.2.
Your next suggestions are on my list to get done for the next update!
Sorry for the delay, but because of work, I do not have as much time to spend on this application as I wish. The app is open source though, so if you are a developer, or know interested developer, feel free to pitch in
Please, add shortcuts, last (previious) app, widget panel (from CM roms), open notifications and more hardware keys, like play\pause, volume and others.
Add second (inner) row for regular buttons, while outer row will act the same as now. If this will be implemented, than the outer row can be used in a whole new way. Swiping to the one of it's buttons and taking off the finger will start an action, binded to this button, but if you swipe and hold (with adjustable hold timeout), you'll get an access to submenu for the button.
I would also love to see black list for apps, such as drawing app ArtFlow, which is using screen borders to access tollbars.
I've just installed this app to use it instead of SlimPie in my Slim Bean rom, and I've already bought it, cause I like it's idea. Though, it's less responsive still, compared to LMT or SlipPie.
Keep up the good work.
Stunning work my friend
What are the power consumption repercussions of this? There would be two launchers running and active rather then one.

I tested it on several devices, and it doesn't affect battery life at all. While it's idle (not being triggered by the user), TasKarou launcher only background activity is to keep the trigger edges active, which allows it to consume very little cpu activity while in the background.

[APP] [2.3+] Gestos (Gestures)

Speed and fluency as performing actions on our devices, play an
important role. Gestures is born of those needs providing the users the
facility to access to different functions by drawing a simple gesture on the
screen.
Gestures has its own lock screen, which is optional. This provides a huge
speed performing any action, with no need to unlock the device.
Gestures allows us to:
- Call a contact.
- Run an application.
- Enable / Disable: Wifi, Bluetooth, Sound, GPS, Airplane Mode
- Access to a Website.
- Run system options.
- Lock / Unlock Device
- Access multimedia functions: Camera, Gallery
As far as configuration is concerned, Gestures can:
- Be activated by double touch on the home screen.
- Lock screen gestures sensitive alternative.
- Permanent Notification toggling the floating button (overlay)
- Adjust the sensitivity.
- Position the floating button
The steps are three:
1. Locate the desired option from the menu and access it.
2. Press the option and draw a gesture. (Once saved it appears in
your list).
3. Access to the gestures processor by the overlay, the double
touch option on the screen (home) or the lock screen, drawing the
gesture right there.

Wow. I'm impressed. I configured a couple gestures and they worked flawlessly.
I am using my tablet and the activation in the corner works great.
On my phone I feel this will be more difficult. Is it possible to create it as an action so that I can use another app to launch the gesture area?

The wiget is fully functional, at least for mobile. And think that covers your needs.
And if not, sorry. but the only way to launch Gestures at the moment are: double touch on home screen, the widget and the floating button.

Could you make launching gestures an activity in the main application? Or can you make the application create a second shortcut to launch it rather than use the widget?
I know it's possible, I just don't know how.
I would really like to use GMD to activate this app, once I can do that I can use this all the time.

Ok, i understand you. At this time it is not possible because the application needs a small initialization between activities. But what I have in mind and can be a feature.
If you have any other suggestions ...
If you want to support the project dont forget to rate Gestos and give us some feedback .
Great app! It works perfectly, and I especially like the lockscreen gestures (which I've been badly missing ever since I upgraded from CyanogenMod 7 to CM10.1). :good:
Feature requests:
It would be nice to have some configuration options for the custom lockscreen. (I don't really like the clock, for example; is there a way to disable that?)
Even better, it would be awesome if you could add a lockscreen widget for Android 4.2+, so we can use gestures on the stock lockscreen! Please? Pretty please?
A paid add-free version would be nice too. I'd happily pay for the app, especially if it had better lockscreen options!

Hide Soft Keys on M8

If you're tired of the on screen buttons getting in the way of typing, root your phone with weak sauce and then download gmd hide soft keys from the play store. Here is a video if you want to see it in action.

You can still manipulate things like transparency, height, width and colour with the app so its pretty good if you want that too.
Personally hate the speaker chin and button combo, wish they went with the HOX set up. Used to using pie now anyways.

Does anyone know how to keep the stock navbar icons with this GMD Auto-Hide app? I like the app but don't like the buttons it uses, even when you choose the "HTC" option under themes. They just look ugly compared to the normal stock navbar icons.
this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for posting this. Now I can utilize ALL of the screen.
Personally I always need the buttons when they are gone for a second with GMD

This App works like a charm !
Install LMT Pie (XDA Download) and setup for BACK/HOME/RECENTS/MENU
Change build prop to remove software keys
Profit
You all realize this is "immersive mode" in android. The buttons only hide when they aren't needed. Simply swipe where the NAV bar would be and the icons come back.
Not to thread jack... but I'm currently using Ultimate Dynamic Nav bar (see this thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198).
I find it more flexable (you can set your own keys, have up to 7, multiple themes, multiple behaviors).
Best feature? I have a button dedicated for screen off, and when you long press it, it opens up APM. I also have a menu button which launches volume control upon long press.
An alternative that works on the M8.
EDIT:
Whoops wrong Screenshot, please see the new one.

From what I can tell.. no there isn't. However, using any of these custom applications, you can adjust the height of the nav bars.

I just checked this and it works for me
In the options menu, you need to select "Keep trigger at panels side" as well as "Keep panel on right". Then you can swipe on the right when using the camera and it will work.
It is a bit confusing, but if you don't have those options selected, when in the Camera you need to swipe from the button to open the buttons.

Like this, seems to work well. Would be better if it could be set on a per app basis, to keep them visible when running certain apps.
All of you do realize that 4.4.2 has "Immersive Mode" that lets you hide the Status Bar and/or the Nav Bar until they're needed, right??
ALL of these special NavBar apps and whatnot are redundant.

Sidebar/Hamburger menu - Easy access

Android 10's back gesture messes with sidebar present in the apps.
Although you can peek and slide or swipe diagonally to bring in side bar, I have found a new easy way.
Swipe vertically on left side of your screen ,then do a horizontal swipe to bring in side bar.(sry for bad English)
In other words, draw the letter L

Please reply guys , I would like to hear from you
This only works if ya gesture level is 2, maybe 3 sometime
Doesn't work on level 4.
But great fine, it was annoying when I couldn't use the side bar on Sync Reddit app sometimes to subscribe.
Awesome tip. I have been doing it diagonally and trying the whole peek and slide but it is always a hit and miss. This works perfect.

If you go into gestures in settings and click navigation button, click on the settings icon for the gesture option and it gives you different levels of how sensitive the gestures are.

You can also bring out the hamburger menu if you touch anywhere on the screen and than you swipe left to right from the side like you used to do it.

Just touch anywhere with your right thumb. And while doing so swipe left to right with your left thumb like you used to swipe for the hamburger menu.
