Ok, I'm sure I'm missing something here but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I cannot get expandable notifications working. Running the stock Verizon update from yesterday, not rooted. I've tried it in both touchwiz and go launcher. If I get a notification for multiple gmail messages it shows as a single notification showing the number of messages. If I try to swipe up or down (with either 1 finger or 2) nothing happens. Swiping to the side clears the notification same as on ics. Pressing and holding on the notification pops up an app info box. I've been sending myself emails and texts all day trying to figure this out. Am I missing something or am I due for a factory reset?
Thanks in advance.

Two finger pinch will expand or hide notifications.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if it was the battery pull, cache wipe, or if I was just doing it wrong but I have it working now. Swipe up/down doesn't expand/contact and neither does a vertical pinch but a horizontal pinch seems to work. Very touchy though. Nothing like what I've seen in videos.
Thanks again.

Is your expanded notification for Text messages working? I can pinch to expand but it doesn't show any options such as 'reply' or 'call' and it's just black space. However, expanded notification for calls and emails seem to work.
I get no options when I expand text notifications. I also have to pinch horizontally (like with all my other notifications) to get it to expand. Is anyone else able to expand by swiping down with two fingers or pinching vertically?

Nope, Samsung changed that unnecessarily on VRBLK3.

I have been asking the same question and have yet to get an answer from anyone. Are we supposed to have a a quick reply option from the notification?

I think that's an aosp feature, you won't get that on touch wiz ROMs for a while.

Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.
Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.
FULL LIST OF FEATURES:
--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.
--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.
--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.
--Supports multiple messages from different senders.
--Supports messages longer than one text message.
--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.
--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.
--Choose between five different text balloon colors.
--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.
--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.
--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

UPDATE: More color schemes added! Check it out!

Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!
Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\
also can't reopen text a after dismissing..

Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.
And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though!

Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!
Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks!
I'm using the color schemes included in the app
EDIT just switched to holo theme can see hide and others now thanks
also showed my dad he loves it have been showing it off to people as I do with any neat thing I can get for my phone

I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!

k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around

That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.
Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

Also just found that under certain situations sweep texting may keep the proximity sensor on even if there are no more texts but a user workaround is to freeze the app with titanium backup or rom toolbox(what I use) or the like and then to unfreeze it will see if I can figure out what causes it or get log for you

Really? Huh, that's the first time someone's run into that problem. Thanks for letting me know. And yes, if you can get me a log or other way to recreate the problem, that would be super helpful. Thanks!
Np, if you have a gtalk or a faster means to communicate I can deffenately be a good tester or at least be able to report things to you faster

This seems like a geat piece of innovation, but it's unavailable in my country (India) and since market enabler has stopped working.... Hope you can roll it out here soon! Really want to give this a try!
For couple weeks already I'm using great app to hide onscreen soft keys - Auto Hide Soft Keys. I wanted to fully test it - check if it will work in real usage - and I must say it works perfectly. It takes couple days to get used to, but now I'm enjoying full 4.3'' screen, and there is no way I'm going back.
This is paid application for full functionality but you can test it for free, with just small (but irritating) disadvantage - line at the bottom (you can hide it in full version).
I'm not a developer or anything, just this app is great and I wanted to share with you guys.

Ty for the app, i still prefer Lmt pie control but this is a great app
Enviado desde mi XT890 usando Tapatalk 4
I've used LMT for some time and for me it doesn't work as good as this one. Auto hide of keys at bottom works so well on RAZR I because we've got this black thin unused bar at bottom, and it's easy to slide finger from there (and it doesn't matter what hand I'm using).
Btw I think that this black bar at bottom was originally designed to contains capacity buttons - I'd like more to have capacity buttons there, because now this bar sits at bottom and is useless and only makes Our phone bigger.
I was hoping for some time that this bar is at least touch sensitive so we could simulate touch controls there (even without showing them) but no-one came with this yet.

tried the app too. it's great.
hmm... getting error if i try to start the app .. ''YOUR DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED''... :/
I'm using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. It's almost the same but with a little more settings. I prefer it.
For anyone using ultimate nav bar, a there a manual switch to toggle the bar? I don't like having the bar disappear on me, but I don't like leaving it on all the time either.

Nope (and I 'd like that to). Maybe you could ask the developper, he seems to be reactive.

I was wrong, set the bar to not disappear after x time in the options menu, then call it and touch anywhere else to make it vanish. UDN is just perfect.
Yea I tried that, but I found ten second to be too short. What I did was install auto hide, it has a setting to swipe up and activate, and then just touch any empty space in the bar to close it. Great feature!

Hello. Since I don't know when, my expqnded notifications appear like this picture. It's not just on WhatsApp but on all apps. I can expand them by long pressing each notification but it's annoying. Any way to disable it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I imagine it compresses like that because of the other toggles you have installed at the top.
When one notification is present it displays it in full, with multiple it will shorten them, you can click and hold on the notification and drag it down to expand.
Wow, didn't even though about that but yes, that's what happens. Thank you very much!

While this question is not directly related to Nexus 5, but since it is one of the few devices running KitKat, I'm posting it here. Its been more than a month since KitKat has launched, but even today the "immersive mode" (which I feel is SO important!) has not been translated to many apps that I use regularly -- Kindle, Pocket, Feedly etc. Its not like these apps haven't updated in the last month or so (they have). Is there any reason why these companies have not considered putting immersive mode as a priority item?
Stability is always the priority. Ask the developers of each app if they plan to support it. We don't know the answer in that, we cannot read minds

There is an Xposed module on these forums somewhere, that enables immersive mode everywhere. It has a few flaws though, as some apps just don't work right with it, or once the navigation bar pops back up, it cuts off the portion of the screen.
However the ones that did work with it, it worker great. It would be nice for someone to make an app or tweak to force selected apps into immersive mode, while allowing the navigation bar to stay where needed.

I still use expanded desktop + PIE controls. I think it works better than immersive mode. I turn it on when gaming.
I used the "Immerse me" xposed module, but it had some issues. Fore example in the AOSP messaging app, when the keyboard popped up, the last message received appeared inbetween the keyboard and where I was typing the message, but only partly. part was behind where I typed teh message. I found that disorientating. Also in tapatalk, which I use a lot - when the keyboard came up, teh top of tapatalk (the tapatalk toolbar) disappeared and I couldn't scroll. Really tricky to use with Pie as I had to keep backing out of the keyboard to do things within tapatalk when typing messages.

Could you elaborate on this? A quick play store search couldn't find expanded desktop, but I found something called pie control.

Hey man thanks for this! This is pretty much what I've been wanting. Now I can use the full resolution of my nexus 5! Great for streaming my PC games. Woohoo!
Would still be nice to have some sort of way to choose what apps go full screen, cuz it would just be easier to already have the nav bar for apps that are better suited for it, then go away on ones you want full screen for, but this is still a lot better than the immersive module for xposed. Thanks again.

Hey no prob, happy to help. It kinda breathes new life into the phone, doesn't it? This mod saved my N5 from being tossed in a drawer. I use it more than my Moto X now, just because of gaming on its 5" screen.
